Friday morning at eight o'clock.

Saionji Akino asked for leave again today in order to move.

He had already sorted out the things in his room, and had already moved the cardboard boxes to the door of the courtyard.

Soon, a cargo tricycle drove up to his door, and it was Uncle Sakai from the supermarket who was in charge of purchasing goods.

And sitting in Uncle Sakai's car is also a strong man in a sleeveless white shirt, this is Uncle Misawa who sells taiyaki in a shopping street.

"Akino boy, good morning!" Uncle Misawa beckoned to him happily, got out of the car and glanced at the cardboard boxes, frowning, "No, that's it?" I thought there were a lot of them coming to help. ”

"Uh... In fact, this is a lot, there are twelve cardboard boxes. ”

"Twelve cartons are nothing, when I was working in a moving company, I had to move seven or eight hundred cartons a day, yo, Akino boy, you still have a guitar!"

"Well, it's a hobby."

After chatting with Uncle Misawa for a while, Saionji Akino looked at Uncle Sakai, who was sitting in the car and gritting a toothpick, "Thank you so much this time..."

"Needless to say, of course I have to help you move, how many times have you helped me unload the goods?"

"But why move all of a sudden? Wouldn't it be nice to live here? The house is big enough and beautiful enough. Uncle Sakai asked suspiciously.

"That's right, and I'm still going to move to the Shitaya District, and I won't be used to seeing Akino boy in the morning when you come to our side for a morning run." Uncle Misawa sighed and said with emotion.

Saionji Akino said with a smile: "I will come back to see you often, and if there is any new plan for the commercial street at that time, it will be on me." ”

"As for why the move... I just want to change the environment and try what it's like to live alone. ”

"Hey, I'm afraid I haven't got a girlfriend, and I think it's inconvenient to take it home, right?" Uncle Misawa quipped.

Saionji Akino shook his head helplessly, "Let's move the goods, Uncle Mizawa." ”

"Yo yo yo, are you blushing?"

After loading all the goods onto the tricycle, Saionji Akino sat with the cardboard box, blowing the cool morning breeze while watching the scenery of the passing residential area.

"A new life... It's about to begin..."

——

When Sakuraba Chiyuki woke up, it was nine o'clock in the morning, and as soon as she went downstairs, she saw Haruka Sakuraba who was busy in the kitchen.

"Chiyuki... Mom has already asked you for leave, you can rest at home today, wait, how did you make yourself like this? Haruka Sakuraba handed over the contract to Shunji Kawano overnight last night, and when she came back at night, she was too tired to go back to her room to sleep, so she didn't have time to see what her daughter was doing.

Sakuraba Chiyuki covered the bandage on her elbow a little unnaturally, "It's just that I fell a few times yesterday..."

"How could it be like this..."Sakuraba Haruka put down the two plates in her hand, stepped forward and grabbed her daughter to look east and west, her eyes full of distress.

Sakuraba Chiyuki, who was held in Sakuraba Haruka's arms, looked at the sandwiches on the two plates and couldn't help asking, "Mom... He's gone? ”

"Well, he moved out early this morning, so you won't have to see him again in the future, and I won't be reluctant to eat with him." Haruka Sakuraba said as she gently stroked her daughter's hair.

"Really... That's, that's good. ”

Let's go.

Really left so simply.

Sakuraba Chiyuki hasn't asked him again, about the incident a year ago, what I asked yesterday was still too vague, if I can be more detailed, communicate with him a few more words... I should be able to figure out the answer too...

Can... It doesn't seem to make sense anymore.

"There's something I want to tell you, let's talk about it while we eat breakfast."

…

"I'm going to sell this house next, and then we won't live here in Tokyo, the cost of living here is relatively high, I'm going to move to Osaka, a villa in Osaka is cheaper, you can buy it for 10 million or 20 million, and then I want to arrange for you to go to high school there, what do you think?"

"Osaka...?" Sakuraba Chiyuki was stunned, she thought of the friends she had made here... That is, the members of the band...

Now that the relationship has broken down, it seems like it's okay to run away like this...

"Hmm... Let's move in..."

Haruka Sakuraba originally thought that it would take a lot of words to persuade her daughter, but she didn't expect her to agree so quickly.

Sure enough, it's my own intimate little padded jacket.

Halfway through eating, Sakuraba Chiyuki suddenly said, "Mom, there's something I haven't told you all along, but I feel like I can say it now." ”

"Didn't you ask me before why you hate that guy so much?"

"Now I'll tell you about that."

Hearing this, Sakuraba Haruka's hand holding the knife and fork trembled slightly, and before she could nod, Sakuraba Qianxue talked about what happened at that time, and how she felt after this incident.

A few minutes later...

"It's because of this that I hate him so much..."

After Sakuraba Chiyuki finished speaking in one breath, she always felt that the depression in her heart had dispersed a lot, it turned out that it was like to tell the secret buried in her heart... I would have known that I would have told my mother...

It's so uncomfortable to be alone...

"Mom?" Sakuraba Chiyuki found that Sakuraba Haruka was stunned, and couldn't help but call her.

After Sakuraba Haruka came back to her senses, "Oh, oh, that's right, then he's really hateful... Well, it's no wonder that Qianxue hates him so much, but Qianxue, now that he's gone, you don't have to worry about this happening in the future. ”

Sakuraba Chiyuki watched her reaction and fell silent.

This is not normal.

According to common sense, when a mother hears her daughter talk about this kind of thing, she will definitely empathize with her daughter at the first time and feel angry.

Not to mention that she has been dependent on herself for so many years, and she has always loved her Sakuraba Haruka.

Such an abnormal attitude, does it mean... What does she know?

After Sakuraba Qianxue realized this, her heart began to loosen again, and yesterday's speculation came to her heart, and she seemed to be faintly aware that there was only a layer of cellophane separated from the truth.

So she asked, "Mom, did you already know about this?" ”

"No... This is the first time I've heard Chiyuki tell me... Mom was just a little tired last night... I was a little distracted just now..."

"Mom!" Sakuraba Qianxue amplified her voice, she stared at Sakuraba Haruka seriously, "Mom, tell me, don't you already know, what's going on?" ”

Haruka Sakuraba looked at her daughter's extraordinarily serious expression, and originally wanted to quibble, but finally gave up.

Anyway, I won't come to Tokyo in the future, and I won't see Saionji Akino anymore.

Then tell her.

"Well, I know about it, and this... It was, to be precise, just a misunderstanding. ”

It's really a misunderstanding...

It turned out to be a misunderstanding...

Just the opening sentence, Sakuraba Qianxue lost her mind, and she didn't listen to what Sakuraba Haruka was saying in the follow-up.

It's like her feet are in the air, falling into an abyss with no bottom in sight, and she lets herself fall freely.

Many images uncontrollably broke through the limitations of memory and appeared in her mind.

That was the beginning of a misunderstanding.

When I was in my second year of junior high school, I always cried secretly in the middle of the night with my pillow.

And every day he writes the words of cursing Saionji Akino in his notebook, and those notebooks are still kept.

Then in daily life, I was afraid of him at first, but after finding that he didn't seem to be able to resist, I became bold, and when I saw him, I insulted him and mocked him...

And he just suffered in silence.

Recently, he has begun to change, and he has shown his gentle side.

But he still scolded him for being disgusting, scolded him for being shameless, said that his change was just an ulterior motive, and he must still be thinking about something disgusting.

But even so, he is still willing to cook for himself.

Teach yourself to play the guitar.

I came up with a name for my band, prepared a venue where I could practice together, and wrote a song.

But not only did he not know how to thank him, but he also denied everything he had, and he also had a big quarrel with his friends. Let the band's dreams come to naught.

"You disgusting pig!"

"Stay away from my friends!"

"I want him to die, I hate him so much!"

"Are you a masochist, or do you like to be scolded by me? I hate you so much, but you still have to do these things? ”

"Get out!"

That's what she's said.

She remembered every word clearly.

Sharp, malicious language, like an invisible blade.

And she, as the perpetrator, stabbed it into the "body" of Saionji Akino countless times in the past year or so.

Again, again.

She hurt the Saionji Akino who was once dull and not good at words, but later tried to change, wanted to improve the relationship with herself, and wanted to be good to herself.

"I'm just trying to make friends, is that wrong?"

"I'm not very good at guitar."

"Where are you performing, I want to cheer you on or something."

"I didn't do anything to Rikka."

"I want to fulfill some of my stepbrother's responsibilities."

"Okay."

"Rest well."

It seems that he can see the smile when he says these words, but behind the smile is his heart that is already full of scars.

Hurt yourself so many times...

Will he be sad?

Will you cry?

Just imagined the picture of Saionji Akino sitting alone in bed late at night, and then recalling the terrible experience of today's day, crying.

Sakuraba Chiyuki could feel the stinging pain in her chest and heart, and those stinging pains seemed to be the knives she had stabbed out, and now she was stabbing them back little by little.

The emotion of regret kept growing in her heart, making her more and more afraid to remember what happened before.

And in the deepest part, there was enough despair to suffocate her.

Because she knew very well in her heart that she was unforgivable.

The harm done to others is real, just like the shadow of one's own misunderstanding.

And what made her feel desperate was that she didn't even have a chance to apologize and say sorry.

The remorse in my heart is like a spring water that keeps gushing, and the spring water gathers into a river, completely submerging the thousand snows of the cherry blossom garden at this moment...

"Chiyuki?"

After Sakuraba Haruka finished telling the truth, she saw Sakuraba Qianxue's empty eyes, and saw her continuous tears, and immediately wanted to hand her a tissue and walked over to comfort her.

But at this moment, the mobile phone rang.

After seeing that the caller was Shunji Kawano, Haruka Sakuraba was stunned for a moment.

When submitting the contract last night, Shunji Kawano said that he would contact him after the transfer was successful... Is there any new trouble now?

For some reason, she subconsciously recalled the last relieved smile of Akino of Saionji Temple last night.

Feeling nervous, she handed her daughter the tissue and walked aside to pick up the phone.

Then, in just a few tens of seconds, her face turned extremely pale.

"Sue?"

"What's in the estate contract?"

"Wait, Kawano-lawyer, that's..."

"No odds? What do you mean? How could there be no chance of winning? What the hell is going on? ”

"To compensate... 300 million? ”
