Confused by the sense of familiarity in his heart, but also by the innocent and angry sadness in his heart, Subaru fell into a daze.

And at this moment, approaching footsteps suddenly sounded at the corner in front of the corridor, and Subaru, who heard the sound, subconsciously wanted to step forward and ask.

Even though he himself didn't know what the confusion in his heart was, he still wanted to pour out the confusion and inexplicable grief that was piling up in his heart to others.

However, the body precedes the actions of the conscious mind.

Subaru exerted a little force on his feet, jumped up silently as if he had been trained thousands of times, and reached out his hands to grab the wooden frame of the roof of the corridor.

Then, with the strength of the arms and waist and abdomen, the whole body was tightly attached to the roof of the entire corridor like a gecko, and even the voice slowed down, taking a soundless breath.

Footsteps gradually approached, and in Subaru's line of sight|appeared a middle-aged woman holding a steaming wooden basin, and a towel stained with red liquid was placed on the wooden basin in the woman's hand.

The middle-aged woman didn't notice Subaru who was clinging to the roof of the corridor. She walked quickly through the corridor wearing a traditional kimono, and finally disappeared from Subaru's sight.

Subaru, on the other hand, fell silently to the ground, falling into incomprehensible confusion.

"Why am I hiding?"

Yes, why should I hide?

Don't want to be discovered?

why?

He couldn't understand what he was doing, but his body instinctively believed that it was right to do so, and if he didn't do it, something he couldn't accept would happen.

But what is it that he cannot accept?

Confusion and bewilderment did not hinder the movement of the body, Subaru stepped out again, and silently advanced in the long corridor.

And then, maybe he finally reached his destination. After passing the corner where the middle-aged woman appeared before, he stopped in front of a wooden door.

Falling into a sluggish mind and still unable to understand the current situation, Subaru just let his body do what he couldn't understand, like looking at the actions of unrelated people from the No. 1 perspective.

However, compared to being simply irrelevant, the feelings and emotions in his heart seem to connect consciousness and body.

Gently opened the wooden door, and closed the wooden door again after entering the room. What appeared in Subaru's sight was a girl with long pink hair lying on the tatami floor covered with a quilt .

The young girl looked about 24.5 years old, and the weak breathing of the sleeping girl was particularly obvious in the quiet room.

However, compared to the girl's appearance and appearance, what Subaru focused on was the girl's emaciated face as if she had fallen into a serious illness, and her pale complexion that didn't look healthy at all.

As if deliberately making a sound, Subaru followed the sound of footsteps to the sleeping girl, and the girl was awakened by the sound as if she was asleep, and opened her eyes with difficulty.

"Is it... a dream?"

The girl's somewhat distracted eyes gradually focused on Subaru, as if she had encountered something happy, a smile was drawn on the corner of her mouth.

However, what responded to the girl was not gentle words of care, but sharp knives and sharp knives.

The actions of the body before the brain thinks, no... It should be said that apart from the connection of emotions, the body and consciousness are not one.

When Subaru was still in the identity of a girl, he had already pulled out the knife from his waist, and brought the blade close to the girl's fair neck.

And, there was an indifferent voice.

"It's not a dream, it's reality."

"Is it realistic..."

Facing the cold blade close to her neck, the girl had no fear or anger, she just laughed softly with a cough as if hearing something happy, and the shaking of her body caused by coughing also A wound was drawn on the neck by the blade.

"Cough cough... So, I'm not my fantasy, you really, cough, have been by my side..."

"...just to take your life."

The words that completely disregarded will, as if proceeding according to the established route of the script, were not controlled by Subaru. At this moment, he couldn't even make his own voice.

Subaru could only watch the scene in front of him like a third person.

"Even if you are retreating steadily, you are still resisting. If this continues, it is just a meaningless sacrifice. And if you are assassinated here, then the soldiers on the front line will also be hit and lose their fighting spirit."

"...Is that so, we... are about to lose..."

The girl who seemed to be thinking about it didn't reprimand Subaru's despicable behavior for insulting the morality of the samurai, the girl just showed a relieved smile.

"Originally, I wouldn't live long... Yes, I can see you once before I die... No, if I can be killed by you..."

"Instead, it's a good thing."

"...Don't you have any last words?"

The anguish and grief in his heart seemed to overwhelm Subaru, and even he felt that even if he could speak out according to his own will, he would be completely overwhelmed by the unreasonable pain in his heart.

"The last words... ah."

The girl looked at Subaru, and Subaru couldn't tell what kind of expression he was seeing in the girl's eyes at this moment, but...it must be very serious.

"If you kill me here, will you... always remember me?"

"If, I had made another choice at the beginning, now...would it be another scene..."

"...It doesn't make sense to say this, does it?"

"Yeah, it's just something that can't be changed, meaningless words..."

The girl sighed and closed her eyes, letting the blade in Subaru's hand pierce her skin.And at the end, she said the last words before her death.

Only she could understand that paragraph, and maybe Subaru at this time could also understand it. Only the two people involved knew the meaning of it, and it contained regretful 'last words'.

"动かねば暗にへだつや, flower to water..."

Chapter 296 Xiao Si's Complicated Mood

"Well……"

He obviously had a good night's sleep, but Subaru, feeling the exhaustion he hadn't seen for a long time, opened his eyes with some difficulty, and what came into view was sitting on the bed on either side of him, looking at him with some worry. Xiaosi and Liuli.

"Xiao Si, Liuli?"

Noticing that the sky had already dawned, Subaru propped himself up and sat up even more tired after having had a good rest.

"What's the matter, can't wait to go to the festival?"

"We can talk about it after the festival or something, my husband... Did you dream about something unhappy?"

Not caring about the ceremony, Xiao Si worriedly grabbed Subaru's palm and put it on his chest, his words were full of concern.

"...unhappy dream? Why do you ask?"

"Why do you ask that? Aren't you guys crying all the time? I know you haven't stopped until now!"

While talking, Ruri stretched out her hand to touch Subaru's face, and there were water marks on her originally clean hands.It wasn't until this time that Subaru noticed that he had been crying without realizing it.

"Or is there actually something wrong with the eyes, and you feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes, if you feel uncomfortable in your eyes, my husband, let's go to the hospital for a look. You can participate in the festival at any time."

"...Even if you say so."

Subaru touched the corner of his eyes with the hand that was not held by Xiao Si, and finally felt the fact that he was crying.

"But I don't feel any discomfort. Even if it's a dream, I don't remember what dream I had."

"...But, am I actually crying?"

When was the last time you cried?Subaru had no memory of this, maybe it was when he was very young, maybe he had never cried before, but why did he cry this time?

Confused, Subaru put his hand over his heart.

"I always feel that my heart is inexplicably sad..."

"When you say that, Xiao Si and I are even more worried. Sad or something, isn't there no unhappy thing at all?"

"Or do you actually feel uncomfortable in your heart, so you mistake it for a feeling of sadness?"

"...I'm not a child anymore, Liuli."

Seeing that Ruri seemed to be asking a child if he felt uncomfortable or if his feeling was mixed up with a misunderstanding, Subaru gave Ruri a helpless look.

"You're not a child yet, do you know when Xiao Si and I got up!"

"We got up before dawn because of your business!"

Liuli said to Subaru angrily, "Xiao Si noticed it at first, and found that you were crying all the time while sleeping, so he woke me up too."

"But it's useless for the two of us to ask you to push you. It's like falling asleep. If it wasn't for Xiao Si who calmed down and found that you had nothing else to do except you were just crying, I would have wanted to call an ambulance! "

"Um...sorry."

Subaru didn't expect that the two girls beside him would be so worried just because he cried for no reason while sleeping.

But thinking about it from another angle, if he woke up in the middle of the night and found Xiao Si or Liuli crying, then he must have been panicked too.

"But, husband, are you really alright?"

Xiao Si was still a little worried. Although Subaru looked the same as usual and didn't continue to shed tears now, he still looked like he couldn't cheer up.

While she was relieved that Subaru had finally woken up, she still felt a little worried.

"It's okay, it's just... Maybe, I really had a dream."

Subaru shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"Although I really can't remember what dream I had, there is always a feeling of regret in my heart, and I also feel very sad, as if I have lost something very important to me."

But, in truth, he had nothing to lose.

For Subaru, the most important things in this world are the people around him, his parents, his friends, his lover, and there seems to be nothing else that can make him feel sad.

"Maybe it's just a strange dream. After all, it's like a horrible dream that wakes people up. Maybe I just dreamed of some sadistic stories I've seen before?"

"Ha...if that's the case."

Liuli sighed.

"If this is the case, then don't read those messy things in the future. Wouldn't it be good to read some happy stories honestly? A dead nerd like you should prefer harem comics, right?"

"If there is another time, it will really scare me to death!"

"Sorry sorry."

Subaru hurriedly apologized to Liuli and Xiao Si, after all, it was because of him that the two people around him were so worried.

"But you should get up very early, I can sleep well, although I still feel a little tired, but there is no problem."
