I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

"Oh, how could this happen." The little witch was frustrated again. The last time she was so embarrassed was when she was blinded by Sister Xiaoniao's SSS score in the dance hall.

"Um, Sanye, let me teach you..." After saying that, Xiaoniao turned around and politely asked the boss, "Is it okay? Mr. Manager."

"Of course!"

Yes, that’s great. These two little beauties are just one stop away and are money-making machines that help me attract business!

"The posture is like this. It's different from archery. The gun handle should be placed here, and then the left hand should hold here..." Xiaoniao taught patiently, and it was inevitable to touch the other person when teaching hand in hand.

Sanye could only force herself to stay awake. Her mind was a mess, but her obsession was getting stronger: "I must not miss the target, otherwise I would be so unfair to Sister Xiaoniao!"

After finding the right angle, Sanye pulled the trigger and hit the target six out of ten times, which was a small success.

"Congratulations, you can choose a doll from Area C."

Sanye was very happy and was searching for her ideal partner, but she caught a glimpse of a yellow and red bird doll, which was very cute.

So she didn't move for a long time.

"Guest, have you made up your mind?"

“Um, I…”

"Are you not satisfied?" Xiaoniao saw what Sanye was thinking. The direction she was looking at just now was Area A.

In that case: "Boss, let me do it next."

"Oh, but that lady..."

"Just think of it as a game for her. The money will be paid. If she doesn't like it, then she can just take it." The words sounded a bit overbearing. Xiaoniao raised the gun gracefully, his eyes were stern, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Sanye was stunned: "All, all correct!"

"Sanye, which one do you want?" With a slight smile, Xiaoniao put away the air gun.

Are you kidding? Her mechanical knight form is extremely accurate. This distance is not a problem for her at all.

"Keep it! Your doll." The store manager was convinced and carefully packed the bird and handed it to Sanye.

The children around were envious, and even Sanye felt that she was the happiest person at this moment.

"I want to do it again."

"Eh? Could it be that Sister Xiaoniao wants something too?"

"Ah, there is a giant panda there, it is Bai Li's fellow villager, I will bring it back to her."

"Yes, is that so." Sanye stroked the bird in her hand, lost in thought.

. . .

Sanye entangled the little bird, so everyone climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, their skirts got wet, and they almost sprained their ankles in their heeled shoes, and they finally arrived at the bird garden at the very end of the zoo with difficulty.

Maybe they are afraid of birds flying into the sky. There is a dome here, so there is no need to be afraid of the heavy rain outside.

"Really? Be careful." Sanye actually sprained her ankle, but she was determined to come. Xiaoniao supported her, and the two of them limped and looked at each other and laughed, "What an idiot."

"I also want to see Xiaoniao's fellow villagers." As if she was still brooding over Xiaoniao's previous words, Sanye said this deliberately.

"Okay, okay, let's see."

The chirping of birds can already be heard, clear and sweet.

But, if she were to evaluate it, it is still far inferior to the big bird next to her.

There were also quite a few smart people gathered in the bird park—all tourists who came nearby to take shelter from the rain.

Compared to them, Kotori and Mitsuha, who had come a long way and were injured, were like fools.

A limp, romantic fool.

The bird park is also equipped with tour guides who explain each rare bird species.

After all, there are many kinds of birds, each with its own characteristics, habits and calls, unlike tigers and lions which are all the same.

The guide was talking a lot, telling the guests endless stories, but Sanye didn't really listen. Although she was the one who suggested coming to the bird park, but...

She had actually been looking at the bird.

On the contrary, the little bird seemed very interested in its fellow villager and looked around curiously.

Cuter than any bird.

Sanye suddenly felt that she could no longer suppress the feelings in her heart.

There are so many birds here, but she only sees one.

"Little bird! I..." She finally mustered up the courage. Even if it would be shameless, even if, even if she would be called a bad woman, it didn't matter. She just wanted to express her feelings.

At this moment, in this place, she knew very well that this was her last chance.

"Sanye, you know, the commentator just said that this kind of bird will only have one partner in its lifetime." The bird spoke calmly, his eyes always on the red and yellow bird.

Its name is: [Lovebird]

With these words, the girl's confession was blocked in her throat.

Her tears began to fall and her vision began to blur.

The crowds were bustling and the noisy conversation seemed to drown her out.

It’s so lively, yet so quiet.

It was so quiet that the only thing on my mind was the girl's words, magnified infinitely.

"When?" Sanye raised her head unwillingly, still pretending to be strong.

"A long time ago, at the end of the summer vacation." At that time, he and she met.

Sanye's eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face. Xiaoniao couldn't bear to see a girl cry, but at this moment, she could no longer wipe her tears naturally.

Once rejected and pointed out, nothing will ever go back to the way it was before.

It was as if they were in a dream, laughing and supporting each other as they came here.

And now, the dream is shattered.

"Hey, if, if I came here first, would you like me?" Mitsuha looked at the bird and took another step closer.

"Maybe." The bird said, but shook his head slightly. Was it helplessness? Or was it the real answer?

"Don't you like me at all?"

I do not believe.

"Look at me, Sister Bird..."

If I don't believe it, your eyes will be empty.

"That's enough, Sanye, don't go on." The bird shook his head and pushed Sanye away.

Sanye's eyes were trembling, her body was shaking, and she could hardly stand. Xiaoniao wanted to help her with red eyes, but was pushed away by her.

"Don't follow me, no! Please!"

She ran away.

. . .

She ran away and got lost in the zoo, like a wounded kitten, fleeing on the streets, disappearing aimlessly in the crowd.

It was raining heavily outside and she sprained her ankle again, but she didn't care at all.

Escape, escape to anywhere, she just wants to escape from here.

The bird stood there in a daze, stretched out its hands, and stood on tiptoe, but never went after it.

Tears flowed down her face. She didn't know how she felt right now, but she didn't feel good. She clenched her fists and then let them drop weakly.

For a long time, she held an umbrella and looked for Sanye everywhere, asking passers-by and staff.

I changed direction after direction, but couldn't find her.

"She, went back..." They found the lion park, the entrance of the zoo, and they were laughing happily there.

Xiao Niao didn't find Mitsuha in the end. She returned home alone, feeling lost. If she was facing Nicole and Maki, she could refuse, but Mitsuha...

Several life-and-death experiences made it impossible for her to avoid the feelings of a young girl.

She actually also vaguely...

Why would you flirt with her if you don't want to marry her? If I had known it would be so heart-wrenching, I would have never met you in the first place.

The words popped up in her mind as well.

"I'm sorry, Sanye, but if it weren't for Brother Baili, without that power, we would never have met, and you would never have fallen in love with me."

Fate made them meet, but they were destined not to be together for life. That's how fate plays tricks on people.
