Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the maple leaves through the light of the courtyard and through the layers of wisteria flowers hanging low like curtains.

On the concave sofa group viewed from top to bottom, Shizumi Fukatsuki sat alone on the right side, shaking Apricot in the air, Naoko Takimitsu, and Mami Haruya sat in the middle.

Jiang Yuanshen sat cross-legged on the sofa on the left, and Kurosawa was almost the same time sitting with him.

The living room exuded an extremely incongruous aura, and everyone seemed to be waiting for Jinghai Shenyue to speak.

"The legend about Chitori Island is true."

“.？”

She abruptly explained the truth, which was unexpected by everyone, even Jiang Yuanshen didn't expect her to be so honest.

Jinghai Shenyue's straightforwardness made everyone else feel like they had strayed from the audience to the stage where they didn't know how the plot would develop, and they didn't understand what action to take next.

Takimitsu Naoko didn't seem too surprised, she seemed to have heard of it, but she shook the apricot and the spring bud to look at each other, and was choked speechless.

As if expecting the atmosphere to be silent, Jinghai Shenyue hung under the bangs on his forehead, and there was a pair of cold eyes:

"You've had relationships that I couldn't have since you were young, and you're far deeper than I did with you, even though things may arise in the future, so my honesty is necessary."

She is right, her relationship with these people can be described as light as water, and there is no certain trust support at all.

And Jiang Yuanshen himself is just a passerby who appeared a few months ago and happened to receive a favor from her after the festival.

"I can manipulate the weather and climate on the island, and even the time can be mastered, so that people can travel to the past."

Hearing such straightforward words, Jiang Yuan sat up straight unconsciously.

Kurosawa didn't seem to expect her to say such stupid things, and the teasing sound mixed with laughter kept burrowing into everyone's ears.

"Hey, you've watched too much TV? How could such a thing happen? ”

"No, I'm telling the truth." Jinghai Shenyue replied indifferently, "Classmate Jiang Yuan can prove it." ”

After speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yuanshen.

"Yes, what Jinghai said is true, and the legend is also true, the queen of Zhiniao Island does have those abilities."

Hearing Jiang Yuanshen's admission, Chunya Zhenmei grinned:

"How is that possible? Wait, you're playing some story challenges, right? I've got a card with a song, so I'll play that if I want to. ”

"What I said is true." Jiang Yuan said calmly and disapprovingly, "It's not a plot challenge, it's not a role-playing game, everything we said is true, Jinghai Shenyue is the queen with ability." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chunya Mamei immediately blinked in confusion, and then she suddenly remembered something, and said with a hearty laugh:

"I hate it! You're still holding a grudge against me and Naoko for their suspicion of transfer students from Tokyo! ”

Even though Jiang Yuan Shendu confirmed it, Kurosawa's heart was still a little unhappy, and mixed feelings surged in his chest.

In order to change her mood, she straightened her waist with her legs and said, "Evidence." ”

"Evidence? What evidence do you want? Jinghai Shenyue tilted her head thirty degrees in confusion, looking a little cute.

"Evidence that you have what you are capable of." Kurosawa glanced at Jiang Yuanshen beside him and said, "What this guy said is not worth mentioning. ”

Jiang Yuanshen raised his hand and pointed to himself, stunned: "My words have been reduced to the point of not being worth mentioning in your place?" ”

Kurosawa raised his eyebrows, leaned to his side, squinted his eyes, and said, "Why should I believe a guy who doesn't come to me during the day?" ”

"What does the two have to do with each other?"

"Where does it matter? I'm angry that you don't come to me, so I don't believe your words, is it okay? ”

"Me"

Jiang Yuanshen was dumbfounded for a moment, and there were strange emotions running around in his body, thinking of the night trip with her, it seemed that regret and guilt had made him fall into silence.

At this moment, a white light flashed in the sky, and there was a loud bang.

The sound of raindrops crashing on the ground is clearer than the jubilant sounds of travelers in the courtyard, and the resort is gradually enveloped by an abundance of moisture.

The ripples on the sea, like a chattering word, and the sound of rain beating on the roof, sounded like a clumsy performance.

"It's raining?" Shake the apricot in the air and look out at the balcony.

Outside, the gray downpour was even more violent, and the wisteria trellises hanging on the balcony were completely unable to withstand the rain, and the wind blew the new green and raindrops.

"Why is it raining all of a sudden when the weather is so good today?" Chunya Zhenmei's eyes widened, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the weather forecast and said, "It's a sunny day on Zhiniao Island today?" Niigata too! ”

Jiang Yuan looked at Jinghai Shenyue cautiously, probably worried, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that you have to pay a price for using your ability, isn't it stacking up again now?" ”

"I've weighed it up." Jinghai Shenyue's cold and intelligent face did not wave, but said quietly, "My mother said that these are nothing, and the most important thing to affect the price is time. ”

Jiang Yuan was cautious and silent.

"Kurosawa-san, can this be proven?" Jinghai Shenyue said.

Kurosawa's loving response to her words was unexpectedly cold, and she let out a tired sigh as usual, crossing her legs.

"Oh."

Jinghai Shenyue raised the corners of her mouth, pulled her hair behind her ears and said with a smile, slightly lowered her chin and said:

"You seem to have believed it for a long time, when the hell? Is it when I speak, or when Jiang Yuan speaks? ”

Kurosawa glared at her as if in warning.

"Don't be verbose."

Jinghai Shenyue smiled lightly, and then suddenly looked at the sky shaking apricots.

Suddenly stared at by those cold eyes, he shook his body in the air.

The arrival of the rainstorm and Jiang Yuanshen's confirmation had already made her convinced of Jinghai Shenyue's ability to be the queen of Zhitori Island.

"Shaoxing, you're actually dead."

“.”

As if in disbelief, and because her eyes were very sincere, there was no city, and her breathing was half a beat slower when she shook the apricots in the air, and her eyes subconsciously looked at Jiang Yuanshen.

"Be careful. I'm already dead? ”

Jiang Yuanshen fumbled with his bangs, took a deep breath and smiled: "Idiot, aren't you still here?" ”

"But Jinghai-san said I'm dead, isn't it?" The little hand that shook the apricot in the air first covered the lower abdomen, and then covered the heart all the way up, "Am I really dead?" ”

Her trembling voice made Jiang Yuanshen very afraid, but she still had to tell the truth.

"Yes, but you're alive now."

Looking at Jiang Yuanshen, who had a heavy face, she was a little surprised when she shook her apricot in the air, she put down her hand and rubbed her ankles, pursed her lips and said:

"How did I die? Poison? ”

"Well, I didn't find you on the day of the festival, and in the end it was Uncle Ito who found you in the big ruins, and you went to the hospital or didn't have a way to go back."

“.” As if reflecting the voice of his heart, the words that came out of his lips were extremely bitter, "In the end, I dragged you down?" Why did you risk being hit by a car to come to me? ”

It was as if the water above the ruins was gently penetrating the walls, making people feel nostalgic and smeared in their hearts.

Jiang Yuanshen could feel a little pain in her voice.

"There's no such thing, after all, if I don't care about you, you'll die like a goldfish at the festival."

As a result, the two goldfish in the water bag that fell from her hand that day are now estimated to be dead.

Hopefully, maple leaves will shelter them from the heavy rain, and the wind will send them back into the pond with fluttering cherry blossom petals.

"Ahhh Shake the apricot, you actually died? So who are you now? Dolls? Wrong! Could it be a sex doll that moves?! ”

Takimitsu Naoko's words sounded like a child deliberately imitating the tone of a witty actor's speech, which felt a little funny, and the originally tense mood gradually collapsed.

"What are you talking about——!

Shaking the apricot in the air was about to cry, but she was so troubled that she was suddenly aggrieved and funny.

"It's okay, you're not doing well now! It's so sentimental~~" Naoko Takimitsu joked with a smile.

Shaking the apricot in the air breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt weak, and said, "What is this!" Slumped on the couch.

Takamitsu Naoko gently patted her belly like a drum, pinched her cheeks dishonestly, and smoothed out the folds on her clothes.

"But why did Jinghai tell us this?" Shaking the apricot in the air to adjust his mood, he looked at the quiet sea and the deep moon with some surprise.

Jinghai Shenyue frowned, and replied coldly: "I just want you to help me, so it's really my own selfish desires." ”

"Speaking of the right thing, since you believe it, whether you want to do it together or not, how to do it is the key." Kurosawa said impatiently.

"Well, before that, I want to explain one more thing to you" Jinghai Shenyue bowed slightly, and her tone seemed to be heavier than usual.

Can't avoid it, this sentence kept echoing in her ears-

"The earthquake five years ago was triggered by my mother's night search."

“——？！”

There was a look of great surprise on the faces of the unsuspecting people, and there was no anger hidden in them, only deep sadness and sorrow.

Naoko Takimitsu just closed her lips tightly and looked at her feet quietly without saying a word.

"It was my mother's departure from the island that caused the earthquake, and as her daughter, I won't accept it with peace of mind."

Jinghai Shenyue sighed deeply, a pale sigh that was more perceptible to her accumulation of fatigue than sadness,

"The cause of the great earthquake is caused by her unlimited use of the queen's ability, since I became the queen, I have only used the ability three times, the cost of leaving the island is bound to be very small, with you here, now is the best time for me to leave the island."

Jiang Yuanshen frowned, there is a sky shake apricot here, do you really have the courage to tell the truth?

Kurosawa took off his shoes and lay on the sofa, put his feet behind Jiang Yuanshen's back and said:

"If you leave, won't the queen of Zhitori Island have to be replaced again? In the end, you left, wasn't that girl miserable? ”

“.”

Those present fell silent.

The death of man is a simple subtraction, but the birth of man is a multiplication that cannot be calculated by addition alone.

With the deep moon of the still sea gone, the islanders will spread out like big trees and keep increasing, and the queen's vacancy will eventually be filled with new lives.

The position of Queen of Chitori Island will not disappear, but will be filled by another girl with excellent looks.

When I closed my eyes, I could see a green light flickering on the branches, as if it was a queen doll that had not yet been born, and it was beating strongly.

"And if the islanders knew that the queen had abandoned them, what drastic actions would they make, have you thought about it?"

Kurosawa looked down at the ceiling, and the soft jade feet had begun to rub against Jiang Yuanshen's back at some point.

Jiang Yuanshen's body was rubbed by her feet one after the other, but at this time, how could he be in the mood to care about her feet again.

He looked around, each with their own concerns on their faces.

"The situation is unpredictable, it's better to take one step at a time." Jiang Yuanshen opened his mouth and said, "Takizamitsu-san, can you help us?" ”

"Me?" Naoko Takimitsu put her finger on her chin and said, "Let me go to the broadcasting department to make a broadcast?" It's run by the government, so where can I get in? ”

Shizumi Fukatsuki's remarks are as indulgent as boiling warm water for a frog: "I remember your father working there, didn't he? If you're a little willful like Kurosawa-san, it's probably not difficult to get in. ”

"What do you mean?" Kurosawa's loving eyes narrowed.

Jinghai Shenyue tilted her head slightly and smiled: "Don't mind, I just think that a girl like you who takes advantage of her advantages can accomplish more." ”

"Hush."

Kurosawa didn't pay much attention to it, but seriously began to try to use her toes to clip Egenshen's earlobe.

Takimitsu Naoko's eyes glanced at the apricot shaking in the sky beside her, sighed and said, "Okay, for the sake of my little apricot, I'll help with this." ”

"What's for me?" Shaking the apricot in the air smiled a little shyly, it was a smile like a spring breeze.

"Literally, otherwise you're gone, how can I help with this favor?" Takimitsu Naoko's words were a bit joking, "I still want to see your naked body when you were twenty years old." ”

Shaking the apricot in the air and scolding lightly: "Bastard Naoko." ”

"You must ensure your own safety, by the way, you must not break the law."

Jinghai Shenyue specially reminded Jiang Yuanshen, who was watching from the sidelines, that she really put the law first.

"Don't worry, it's like playing tricks on shaking apricots, I have a hundred ways to get in."

"Can you stop talking about me!"

Shake the apricot in the air and pout as if splashing.

Jinghai Shenyue just wanted to talk about the next arrangement, and then she heard the exclamation of Jiang Yuanshen, who had not said a word before.

"Hey——!"

"Hahaha! I did it! Kurosawa, who was lying down, covered his mouth with his hands and narrowed his eyes in an arc with a smile.

Her white little feet were against Jiang Yuanshen's shoulders, the thumb of her left foot happened to pinch Jiang Yuanshen's earlobe, and her cherry pink toenails shimmered in the light.

Jinghai Shenyue's expression was very quiet, except for shaking the apricot in the sky and biting her lower lip, the waves in her eyes were like points of light that had been cut into fine pieces, constantly moving.

"Be careful! Don't be bullied all the time! I've seen her kick you all the time! ”

"Me? I'm not bullying him, and I'm not kicking. ”

"You're just bullying him! He doesn't want to do it now! ”

"Jiang Yuan, you don't want to? Ah yes, you told me you were shaking M, right? You should be happy that I did this, right? ”

"Shake M? Xiao Shen, what's going on? ”

"Well, it's not a shake M, it's a long story."
