At this moment, Xiaokong finally understood that the person who had been guarding Guanling turned out to be Guanling's mother.

Echoing the beginning,

At this time, Guan Ling was already sleeping in her mother's arms with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Keisuke has also made a decision to let Kansuzu continue to stay by Haruko's side, at least this is her own choice, and at the same time, from this incident, Keisuke understands that Haruko is more competent than him, and that child is really dependent on Haruko.

After taking Kanling home in the evening, Haruko behaved happily.

The two are still reminiscing about the sweet old days together.

Has the curse been lifted?

Masahru Yamada thought suspiciously.

Is it because the power of dolls has come into play? And after the former person turned into a crow, he has been waiting for the bell, and now the bell looks better.

Will you be able to be happy in the future?

But just when Yamada had a glimmer of hope in his heart, the next plot gave him a critical blow-

That night, Guan Ling couldn't help but tremble in severe pain.

Haruko suddenly became at a loss, wanting to care about her, but she didn't know what to do, so she asked, "Where do you hurt?" ”

"Wings, wings......"

As she had ever experienced, Kanling was aching for her ethereal wings, which had never existed, and was tormented by the pain.

In order to make Kansuzu happy, Haruko promised her that she would definitely take her to see the summer festival.

And Guan Ling also smiled and responded, "Well, I want to go to the summer festival with my mother." ”

……

Early the next morning.

Haruko pushes the bell and goes down the street together.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Guanling held a dinosaur doll in his hand, and stood on his shoulder, and was taken to the street by Haruko, feeling the breath of summer, the sea breeze, the midsummer and the taste of her mother:

"This summer is full of the smell of mom, and I like mom the most."

"It wouldn't be nice if it smelled."

"It's not good, but it smells very good." Guan Ling laughed.

The conversation that follows is warm and brisk.

There was a moment when Masahru Yamada had the illusion that "it's okay like this, although there is no past, but mother and daughter can also be happy".

Haruko, who felt that the weather was hot, pushed Kanling to the Takeda supermarket, and when she sensed her daughter's desire to drink juice, she bought her sticky peach juice.

At this moment, Kansuzu was sitting in a wheelchair and suddenly said to Haruko, "Mom, go ahead." ”

Well?

Although she didn't understand her daughter's intentions, Haruko did it anyway.

"A little farther away."

So Haruko took a few steps back.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

There is a distance of about 20 meters between Haruko and Kanling.

Guan Ling took a deep breath and stood up with both hands holding the armrests of the wheelchair.

Haruko's heart tightened, and she quickly wanted to come forward to help her.

Ke Guan Ling quickly stopped her and shouted, "Mom, don't come over." ”

"Because mom is my end. Together with Sora, it is the end. ”

The crow jumped at Haruko's feet and flapped her wings, as if to cheer up the bell.

"Am I the end? ......" Haruko was actually quite happy to hear her daughter say this, but when she thought of Guanling's illness, she couldn't help but worry, "Don't force it." ”

"It's okay, I'll try to ......"

Guan Ling stood up with a bleak smile.

Haruko, who hadn't realized the truth yet, waited patiently in place, watching her daughter walk slowly while holding a dinosaur doll while comparing V, and she responded with V.

She clapped her hands like a child and asked her daughter to come over: "That's right, yes, walk slowly, if you work hard like this, you will definitely recover, let's work together, okay, Guanling!" ”

Seeing Guanling step by step, albeit slow but unusually firm pace, Yamada Masaharu's heart was also suspended to the extreme.

But at the same time, a smile spread across his face.

That's great.

Miracle?

Sure enough, the old thief still had a little bit of conscience, and he didn't let Guanling die, and even had the strength to stand up and walk again.

If this continues......

It's a matter of time before it gets better, right?

One step, two steps.

The distance between Kansuzu and Haruko is getting shorter and shorter, and her pace is getting slower.

Finally, it stopped about 6 or 7 steps away from Haruko.

But at this time, Guanling stopped moving forward.

"Already...... Okay, right? I tried, didn't I? Guan Ling closed his eyes and smiled: "It's already possible...... It's over, right? ”

Haruko asked suspiciously, "Are you tired already?" Okay, once we're at the finish line, let's go home and play poker together. ”

But the daughter shook her head: "No, my end, the end I've always longed for...... I've worked hard, and I'm already okay, right? It's already possible...... Rested, right? ”

After a stumble, Haruko realized the truth-

Guanling's feet have always been painful, her body has always been painful, and she has been carrying a thousand-year-old curse to hold on until now.

And the so-called end of Guanling is the end of her mission.

When Haruko thought of this, her whole body was shaken, but she still stayed where she was according to her daughter's order.

The bell shook and did not fall, and he looked up and laughed while holding the doll.

The mother's voice trembled as she wished her daughter was lying, after all, the nightmare should have ended.

"Nonsense, huh? Everything will be fine, right? It's going to heal slowly, right? Haruko's voice was already shaking.

Seeing her daughter walking on a sharp knife, still moving in her own direction, Haruko's tears couldn't help but flow.

And what she said was exactly what Yamada Masahru was expecting at this time.

No way?

It's all at this time, do you still need to go under the knife?

Ancient thief, are you still human?!

Yes! I really want to hack Ma Zhi to death!

"I'm sorry, Mom," Guan Ling smiled though it hurt, and the distance gradually shortened, "but I'm done with everything I have to do, so ...... It can be over. "Guanling has not stopped and has been moving forward.

"No, don't come over, can't end!"

Haruko screamed, "It's just the beginning! Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to start over?

We want to regain the happy life that we lost that we should have started 10 years ago, and I will find it together with Guanling in the future! Isn't our happiness just beginning? ”

"No...... It's all done," Guan Ling moved forward against the scorching sun: "It's enough, this summer is full of the happiness of my life." ”

"No, you can't! Not yet! There's so much more I want to do! There's so much more I want to do with my favorite Kanzu! We're just getting started! ”

"I decided to try again, in the summer that started when I met someone in the past,"

At this time, the memories of getting along with the past in the game flashed one after another, and Yamada Masaharu was hooked up in tears.

Completely break the defense.

Tears burst into the river, and even made his vision blurry for a while, unable to see the words appearing on the screen.

"Although there have been many, many things, hardships and pains, but I'm glad I did!

Because my end is full of happiness, because I am no longer alone!

So, so ...... It's already time to end. ”

"No, you can't! It's just getting started! Didn't I say it's just getting started! Just as Haruko was shouting hoarsely, a burst of light came,

Guan Ling finally arrived at the [end], her whole body fell forward, and her daughter finally hugged her mother:

"Destination ......"

In the game, the BGM "Blue Sky" sounded:

[The ocean, blue, into the distance,

That path, straight and straight, has no end.

……

Will be back in the summer

Reflected in the glittering water,

The reflection of the two,

The breath of the blue sky ......】

It is still sung by Ayumi Hamasaki, and the difference with the poem of birds is that Aozora goes from sadness to comfort......

With the picture in the game, one of Yamada's hearts was torn to pieces.

Didn't you already guess the ending?

But when it really came, Massaharu Yamada still couldn't resist the attack of Asaeda Juni's tear gas, and he couldn't stop crying.

Next to the blue sea, under the blue sky, Guanling lay in Haruko's arms: "Finally arrived...... A place I've always longed for, a place of happiness. Forever...... A place of bliss. ”

Haruko, who burst into tears, cried and said, "Don't, I don't want that!" ”

Guan Ling's mouth moved silently a few times, and finally smiled:

"Thank you...... Mommy ......"

"Bell ——!"

Haruko cried and said, "You've taught me a lot, haven't you?"

Told me that life is no longer a person, don't go, don't leave me alone!

I don't want anything else, no friends, no new clothes, no luxury living, I just want to be with you!

……

This is the end of the game.

Guan Ling finally died in her mother's arms.

And the journey of the crow Xiaokong, at least the journey here has ended.

Xiao Kong turned to look at the sky after watching her leave: "I don't know when I have been looking at the sky, looking at this sky that has always been glowing with sadness, looking at the boundless blue, thinking about the girl who returned to the sky, the girl who is still alone." ”

The crow spreads its wings and soars above the blue sky.

At the same time, in the sky, the shadow of the crow crossed the border, transforming into the appearance of a young girl, Kanna, with a pair of huge wings on her back, flying towards the sky.

"So I'm going to embark on a journey to continue looking for her, and then one day, I'm going to bring her back here for a new beginning!"

The first sound is heard, echoing the beginning and end of the game.

"O my child, you must listen carefully, what you are going to say to you from now on is a very important thing, which we are about to begin, from generation to generation, never stopping, a long, long ...... The story of the journey.

This planet has just been born here, and we were born here to carry on the memories of the planet forever.

However, not everything is rosy.

On this planet, there is also a cruel and violent side, but what we have to do is to pass on happiness.

It is the pride of our race that cannot be forgotten.

In any case, please bring the memories of happiness to the last child who inherited the memories of the stars. ”

……

Flashback.

On the shore at dusk, a little boy looked at the seaside and said to the little girl who was building sandcastles next to him that he remembered something from the past.

Seeing that it was getting dark, I wanted to go together to confirm what the girl had been trying to confirm - what was on the other side of the coastline.

Although the girl didn't necessarily actually say it, the boy felt that was what she was thinking, and the girl agreed.

Then the two turned to look at the maiden and young man on the embankment in the distance and waved to each other.

The maidens and young men sitting on the embankment are none other than the watchers and the past.

The boy faced the known future, and as he left, he looked back at them: "Send away their painful years, welcome us with a new beginning, goodbye......"

The two children walked hand in hand into the distance.

"Let's go, towards the end of infinity."

"Goodbye."

THE END

……

That's the end of the game.

Masaharu Yamada cried uncontrollably as he watched the subtitles and the list of staff appear on the TV.

The sadness could not be stopped for a moment.

[Supervision: Tsubaki Furuhara]

Ancient old thief! West Inner !!

Originally, I thought that the old thief had a trace of pity, but now it seems that I have thought too much.
