[Kyushu-kun, the summer vacation is coming to an end, and time flies so fast~ By the way, by the way, do you have time to come out and spend a day with me? I'm looking for someone to drag along with. 】

The day after the Obon celebration, Makoto Kyushu received a contact from Sister Yagawa.

"Jingle Bell~"

Kyushu Makoto went to the appointment and pushed open the door of the Yazawa House, and the crisp wind chimes rang in his ears.

Mr. Yachuan leaned in front of the bar and smoked, and subconsciously snuffed out the cigarette when he saw the customer, but then breathed a sigh of relief:

"Oh, it's little brother Kyushu! I'm really scared to death, if the customer sees smoking, this store won't have to open, haha~"

"It's not business hours yet, so it doesn't matter, right?" Makoto Kyushu looked at the clock, it was half past nine in the morning, and the opening hours of the Raven Zeya were eleven o'clock at noon:

"Is Senior Sister Yachuan here?"

"She's in the room." Mr. Yachuan asked, "Are you here for her?" ”

It's her who wants to find me. Kyushu Cheng thought in his heart, but said, "Yes." ”

"That's right," Mr. Yachuan glanced back at his daughter's room, and sighed, "She's really been in a bad mood lately, and she was only a little happier when she went out for the celebration yesterday, so it would be nice if someone accompanied her out for a walk." ”

"What's happened to her lately?" Kyushu Cheng was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"You just ask her." Mr. Yachuan pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray:

"Compared with an old guy like me who doesn't know amorous customs, young people have more common language among themselves."

"I see." Makoto Kyushu casually sent a text message to his senior sister and sat on a chair at the bar and waited for her.

"By the way, when my wife went to Yokohama some time ago, she received a lot of care from you, right?" Mr. Yachuan remembered something again and asked.

"Oh, did she tell you?" Kyushu asked rhetorically without being surprised.

Makoto Kyushu's performance in Yokohama, Mrs. Yagawa must have told her husband.

"She blew you very badly, saying that you are a block of ten and a husband~" Mr. Yachuan laughed heartily and slapped Kyushu Makoto's shoulder: "Thanks to you and that guy Yujin, her heart for many years can be satisfactorily resolved." Thank you so much, little brother Kyushu! ”

"It's okay, it's okay~ it's all a gesture." Makoto Kyushu smiled slightly and didn't say much.

If you want Kyushu Cheng to sit here and talk about his achievements at that time, at least you can make a tea and blow it for half a day. But there is no need for him to do this, because the Yachuan family is not unkind people, so there is no need to deliberately emphasize their merits in exchange for the respect of the other party.

"Really, our family owes you a favor again, and I can't even come up with anything to thank you." Mr. Yachuan half-jokingly said:

"If it goes on like this, I'll have to give you Sakiwen~"

"No, it's up to her to decide your daughter's happiness." Sekoto Kyushu also joked: "It's better to fall in love freely in modern times." ”

"Of course, I'm just joking, boy, don't take it seriously~" Mr. Yachuan laughed heartily again.

The two were chatting, but they heard the sound of "oh oh" coming from the staircase.

"I'm sorry, Kyushu-kun, I've kept you waiting!" Wearing a cool short-sleeved and pleated skirt, Sakumi Kagawa brushed his short hair, and ran down with two helmets:

"Shall we go for a ride?"

"Hey, Sakifumi! Are you going for a drive? When Mr. Yachuan saw her like this, he immediately put on a straight face and said, "Didn't my mother teach you that you must wear protective clothing when you go out to ride?" ”

"Who wants to wear this kind of thing in the summer!" Sakimi Yagawa stuck out his tongue and retorted:

"Don't worry, we're just going for a ride, not going for a drag race!"

"The last time you took the little brother in Kyushu to participate in a drag racing event, don't you know about us?" Mr. Yachuan pretended to be serious.

"Eh, how do you know?" Yagawa Sakifumi's eyes suddenly widened, and his gaze jumped back and forth between Makoto Kyushu and his father in disbelief:

"Could it be that Kyushu-kun told you?"

"Huh? I didn't say anything. Makoto Kyushu looked innocent.

"Among those drag racers, there are a lot of old acquaintances of my mother, and I know a few others." Mr. Yachuan smiled angrily: "It's just that you were more disciplined last time, so we won't bother with you." ”

"Hmm" Yagawa Sakufumi lowered his head embarrassedly and defended: "Don't worry, this time it's really just going for a ride!" It's still early in the morning, and if I drag race, I'm sure I'll be chased by the traffic police all over Tokyo! ”

"If you know, it's good." Mr. Yachuan sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go play, pay attention to safety." ”

Yagawa Sakumi went to the warehouse and drove his motorcycle, and beckoned to Kyushu Makoto: "Come on, Kyushu-kun~"

"Where are you going today?" Makoto Kyushu jumped into the back seat and asked.

"Follow the seaside road." Yagawa Sakumi turned his head slightly and asked, "Are you free today?" ”

"No problem, I'm free all day today, and there are no other arrangements." Kyushu Makoto nodded and said, "If you need it, I'll stay with you all day today." ”

"It's worthy of Kyushu-kun, it's really generous~" Yagawa Sakiwen reached out and wiped his reddish cheeks, twisted the handle to start the motorcycle:

"I decided to ask you out before the summer vacation began, but it was at the end of the summer vacation that I finally found time to ask you out."

"So, you're going to be very busy this summer, right?" Makoto Kyushu got on the back seat of the motorcycle.

"Internships at newspapers, university entrance exams, and a lot of messy things" Sakumi Yagawa sighed lightly and showed a reluctant smile: "It's really busy~"

"It's really hard for a high school student to strive for progress." Makoto Kyushu sighed.

"Then let's talk about it first, I'm going to drive~" Yachuan Sakumi frowned slightly, and suddenly changed the topic.

Motorbikes follow the breeze all the way to the seaside. Probably afraid of being poured into their mouths by the wind, the two did not talk much along the way, and only the symphony of seabirds, the gentle swaying of the waves, the sonatine of the sea breeze and the sound of motorcycle engines mixed together in their ears.

After about an hour of driving, the motorcycle slowly stopped halfway up the mountain. Outside the road, you can see the golden sea and the endless Tokyo Bay.

Sakumi Yagawa got out of the car, and then leaned on the railing and looked out at the sea:

"Hey, after driving for a while, my mood is finally a little more relaxed~"

Sekoya Kyushu leaned on the railing next to her and asked:

"Are you having any difficulties?"

"I" Sakufumi lowered her eyes, she turned her head to look at Kyushu Makoto for a long time, and after hesitating for a moment, she said in a somewhat heavy tone:

"I probably won't be able to get into college, and the news agency where I interned also fired me."

"I went to an educational institution during the summer vacation to do a few evaluations, and they said that my academic ability should be able to get into a good university, but considering my bad record in middle and high school, all good universities will reject me" Sakufumi Yagawa took a deep breath, his voice became more and more depressed, and he was about to cry:

"The same is true for the newspaper, I did a very good job during my internship, and my boss has always praised me for my talent, saying that he hopes I can become a full-fledged reporter in the future. But the day before yesterday, when my internship ended, I expressed my desire to be officially hired here in the future, but my boss's attitude suddenly changed, and he politely rejected me with all kinds of twists and turns, and told me to leave quickly. In the end, I was anxious and asked him why his words didn't count, and he took out my school file and said that I had a bad record in middle and high school, and their newspaper did not dare to take me in. ”

Staring at her misty eyes, Makoto Kyushu finally understood what the senior sister was worried about.

In Wano Country, graduating from high school means growing up and officially stepping into the adult world, that is, being responsible for your own future. Many parents will even cut off the money for their children, and even the money for college has to be earned by the children themselves, so many young people will be confused.

The Yachuan family may not be so ruthless, even if Yagawa Sakiwen graduates from high school, he should raise her for a few more years. But for Sakufumi Yagawa, a former top student, the two paths of "university" and "work" were cut off, which must have hit her very hard and made her feel lost about the future.

Originally, according to the normal life trajectory of Senior Sister Yachuan, she would definitely be able to enter a good university as an honor student, and after graduation, she was rushed by many excellent companies and enterprises.

In comparison, her current situation is simply the difference between heaven and hell.

But falling to the point where she is now is not only her own suffering, but also the retribution that she will have to endure sooner or later and cannot escape.

After all, if it weren't for the encounter with Kyushu Cheng, the so-called "bad behaviors" of Senior Sister Yachuan, I don't know how many innocent people would be killed.

Yes, she has already admitted her mistake, she is already making amends, she is already struggling, and it is not too late.

But sin karma is like a flame, and even if it is extinguished in time, what has been burned by it cannot be restored to its original state. Even though she repents and reforms, she still needs to pay the price for her past wrongdoings.

As a former victim of Senior Sister Yachuan, even Kyushu Makoto didn't know what position he should use to comfort her.

Besides, Senior Sister Yachuan would actually find the "victim" of Kyushu Cheng to confide in these things, presumably the burden in her heart has accumulated to the point where she can't bear it, and she has to find someone to talk to.

"I'm sorry, Kyushu-kun" Sakumi Yagawa scratched the corners of his eyes with his fingers and said sadly:

"I'm to blame for all this, and I shouldn't have complained to you anyway. But I really can't find anyone who can talk about it, and I've been holding it in my heart. It's very uncomfortable. ”

It seems that during last night's celebration, Senior Sister Yachuan was just pretending to be happy to play with everyone, and she didn't want everyone to spoil her fun.

"It's okay, just say what you want, I'll listen." Makoto Kyushu is not very good at comforting people, and he is not good at dealing with sentimental women, but he still squeezes out a few comforting words as much as possible.

Yagawa Sakumi also saw the embarrassment of Kyushu Cheng's words, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said with a bitter smile: "I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed by Kyushu-kun again, I'm really a bad girl." A girl like me has really become ugly, right~? ”

"No, I think you're beautiful." Kyushu Cheng suddenly shook his head and said: "People who are in deep trouble and struggling will never be ugly in my eyes. ”

"What did you say?" Yagawa Sakufumi clutched his chest in amazement and whispered, "Beautiful.?" ”

"Yes, I think you're beautiful." Makoto Kyushu turned his head and repeated again: "Even if you fall from the paradise of honor students to the bottom, you are still looking for a way to climb up again and try new possibilities, such courage." And the reason why you complained to me is because I hope that I can say things like "please persevere" to you, so that you can regain your fighting spirit, right? ”

"So please don't be discouraged and keep going." Makoto Kyushu smiled at her: "No matter what, I believe that your figure will not become ugly." I will continue to cheer you on, and I will always help you if you get stuck. Because we've made an appointment, we'll always be friends, right? ”

"Wow." Sakifumi's cheeks flushed.

Suddenly, she coldly threw herself into Kyushu Cheng's arms, her short hair gently rubbing against the young man's chin and neck.

"Are you alright?" Makoto Kyushu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to continue to hug her as a friend for a while, but he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, Kyushu-kun" Sakufumi Yagawa buried his head in Kyushu Makoto's arms and said almost pleadingly, "Can you please not push me away?" Just let me be quiet for a moment. ”

“.” Makoto Kyushu looked down at her, so he had to stand motionless. I couldn't bear to push her away.

It's normal to hug friends and have hugs, right? She's at a low point now, and that's the only way to comfort her. Kyushu thought sincerely.

After a while, she seemed to have recovered her vitality, got out of the boy's arms, stretched her waist and said, "I'm sorry, I was really ugly just now." ”

"What about you. Are you feeling better now? Kyushu asked again.

"Don't worry, all the worries are gone, and the mood has finally become a little happier!" Sakufumi Yagawa re-showed a cheerful smile:

"Whether it's patiently listening to my complaints, or speaking those words of encouragement to me, or giving me such a warm hug. It's really thanks to Kyushu-kun~"

"I should have figured it out~ The road ahead is still very long, I don't need to feel that there is no hope because of this setback... If you can't find the job you want and can't go to college, then just look for new opportunities. Kyushu-kun must have said something like "As long as you don't give up, there will always be a road ahead~"

"I'm glad you think so." Kyushu Cheng nodded again and again: "It's too early to give up, isn't it?" ”

"Of course!" Yagawa Sakufumi responded, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "And I will one day become a person worthy of Kyushu-kun, it's too early to give up, isn't it?." ”

"Excuse me, what did you just say?" Makoto Kyushu put his head forward, thinking that he hadn't heard clearly behind his ears just now.

"Nothing!" Yachuan Sakuwen reached out and grabbed the young man's arm, and changed the topic: "Na, didn't Kyushu-kun say that he would give it to me all day today?" Then continue to go for a ride with me~! ”
