[SD] Maple Fragrance

I want to imitate Xiaofeng and forcefully kiss you. "

"Has Feng called? Wait, what kind of forced kiss..."

Sugiyama nodded, with a smirk on his face, "According to his personality, a forced kiss is inevitable~ Tell me honestly, this time I went to Chapel Hill, did I get raped by the Overlord?"

"!! Eh? It's not what you think!" Her face was slightly hot.

"You still want to hide it from me! Otherwise, that damn boy wouldn't suddenly realize his conscience and call to say 'Happy Newly Married'. BTW, when someone said this, was his tone so cold?"

……

In the middle of the night, the lights suddenly went out, and on the lawn not far away, fireworks were in full bloom in the darkness, and two tall figures stood between the lights and shadows.In front of the opened floor-to-ceiling windows, one turned sideways and hugged the other party whispering, the other leaned slightly, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

The cold wind of November blew by, Mochizuki smiled and wrapped her windbreaker tightly.

They are still on the road. Our new journey, is just about to start.

...............................................................................

Under the leadership of new coach Bill Guthridge, the Tar Heels' "sixstarters system" was a blockbuster in the 97-98 season, once again winning the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) championship.The strong rotation lineup set a record of 34 victories for North Carolina, all the way to the NCAA tournament "Final 4" (Ultimate Four), until it was defeated by Utah.

Almost from the week Mochizuki left, Rukawa averaged two to three games a week.Sporadic invitational games and classic games at the beginning of the season, the league regular game starting in late November, and the final exam approaching, there are only two holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I have time to take a break and call Mochizuki.

The number of games played, points per game, rebounds and assists in his sophomore season allowed Rukawa to establish his position as the main point guard in the talented TarHeels.But the junior and senior seasons are the most crucial two years before participating in the NBA draft.At the same time, the school has a stricter performance threshold than the NCAA. If you accidentally oversleep in a class, you have to sit back on the bench.

Now, Mochizuki understands the tiredness in Rukawa's voice, it's not tired of her voice, just tired out.The wonderful thing about relationships is: the same situation - when the confidence curve turns into a decreasing range, clues will lead you to guess in a bad direction; and when you completely trust the other person, empathy will naturally flourish. Much explanation.

However, trust and understanding is one channel, and missing is another channel that cannot be controlled.If the past misses were flat, now, the brain and body miss him overlapping, like a 360-degree circular curtain, ambush from all sides.

The NCAA is not often broadcast in Japan, so Mochizuki can only ask Sugiyama to record Rukawa's games, collect them every month, and mail them to Tokyo.I used to always watch his games on the spot, but now watching him through the TV screen, there is a subtle difference that I can't explain clearly.

Since the start of the new season, he has never missed a game.Rukawa's style of play has the double brand of Shonhoku and North Carolina.First cut in quickly, tear the opponent's defense, and then wait for an opportunity to pass to the periphery or the basket.His own scoring ability is strong enough, and he can often attract the opposing team to use double-teams to block him in the first place and create gaps for his teammates; but if the opponent's defensive formation does not adjust, single-man marking will inevitably make him A pull-up jumper or a breakthrough layup is successful.

Knowing exactly which games, he successfully mobilized the atmosphere of the whole team, making North Carolina's offense more aggressive, and even made the fans shout "TarHeels" and his name, and the whole stadium seemed to be on fire ; Clearly know which games, his state is not good, high-tempo offensive and defensive transitions, strong physical confrontation, lack of defense, and was replaced by the coach in the next quarter.

This is already the third year that Feng has worked hard in the NCAA... All three meals are eaten according to the nutritionist's advice, and the intake of high protein, high carbohydrates and low fat is strictly maintained, combined with daily weight and special training, to increase muscle And correct body fat content.Even so, he still has a distance from the average height and weight of the NCAA semi-finalists - the guard's statistics are 190.9cm and 87.5kg.

(1998) The league regular season ended in early March. The championship trophy of the ACC regular season was taken away by Duke, and North Carolina fought back in the "March Madness", huddled together to survive a single-game promotion match, and won the ACC playoffs championship.

On the night that MarchMadness ended, I sent a text message to Rukawa, and after he and his teammates had a celebration banquet and finished drinking, Mochizuki called him to his apartment.It was fine at first, but when it came to the reversal, lore and counter-lore of several key games, his voice suddenly became muffled.He thought it was because of the stamina of the wine, or the unwillingness to stop at the semi-finals, but finally asked: He guessed from her words that she had been watching his game video, but never asked him for it, it must be Please ask others to record and send.

It turned out that Feng would also mind, mind that she was too used to not relying on him.

...............................................................................

This March, Mochizuki is also in Yali Mountain, and there is a "life-threatening" hurdle ahead.

Back from Boston in November last year, I felt the atmosphere of an invisible barrier quietly erected between Junior.Originally eating boxed lunches and rushing to the market, drinking and chatting together, under the pressure of the elimination system, as the quasi-affiliated promotion list approached, only the superficial harmony and the hasty pace of each other's thoughts remained. .

In the second year of Junior, the number of works completed by Mochizuki was far ahead of peers before going to Yellowknife, which can be regarded as a masterpiece.Since she stepped into Qinger Production, she has been complimented on her background in a theater troupe, her acting skills are unquestionable, and her potential is endless, but every time she turns over the worksheet, the ones assigned to her are either animals or babies. She can only broadcast on the Internet During the show, he laughed at himself, "Don't let me speak human words".

Once the first month holiday is over, gossip about the promotion list will flow out every now and then, making it difficult for people to settle down and only speculate about the characters.Ask yourself, in terms of strength and hard work, the possibility of being on the list is between five and five. Except for luck, the rest can only rely on the accumulation of interpersonal relationships in the industry, audience popularity and sponsor support.

No matter how worried you are, work must continue, especially not to lose in the final sprint.The new role that the firm got for her——Mili ィ トンプソン (Mi Li) in "Gun God TRIGUN" is only a supporting role, but there is enough room for her to hone and grow.

For a few days, the gossip spread fiercely, and she was inevitably worried about gains and losses.If you don't get it this time, you have to wait another year.If he still doesn't make it next year, maybe Qing Er will become a dead end and have to find another way out.When I came back from the recording studio or theater troupe, I was obviously exhausted, but my mind was "buzzing". Turning off the lights didn't help.

I miss those clear black eyes more and more.

He simply got up and went to the living room to rewatch his game video.

It is indeed a little different from the appearance when I first saw it at the age of 15, but the familiar figure galloping on the court is still like the original colors of the world-red is fearless, green is pure, and blue is piercing.

Accidentally, my thoughts drifted back to many years ago.That year, he was fouled maliciously, returned to the court with a swollen left eye, and refused to back down when facing Nan's knee; the first time he was abused one-on-one so that he fell to the ground, ignoring Zebei's hand extended to him, standing Get up and clenched your fists, "I haven't lost yet."

……

Williams told her privately that he had never seen someone as self-demanding as Rukawa, who had never skipped a practice or lost his mind in a game.

The game in the video is still going on, but the impetuousness in my heart has gradually disappeared.The small black dot in front of him rapidly expanded, and finally blurred into a piece.

Is it the starry sky in a dream?Among the colors of the boundless night, there is the Polaris shining.

The author has something to say:

☆、Chapter 23

(suitable for playing music - EverytimeICloseMyEyes-Babyface)

On the day of Rukawa's 21st birthday, Mochizuki received a thoughtful gift from Japan - a new Nikon camera.

After unpacking, his voice on the phone could not hide his doubts.

"Whatever Feng sees and thinks of, he just takes a picture. When you have time, just send it to me by mail."

"Hmm... just take pictures casually?"

"Yeah. I shoot too, we swap regularly."

"...It's okay to shoot the ceiling? For example, before going to bed..."

"...Feng, why don't you take a picture in the mirror, before taking a bath."

It was later proved that Rukawa's framing, focusing lens and talent for capturing beauty not only far exceeded his self-cognition, but also exceeded Mochizuki's imagination. Of course, the ceiling and bathroom mirrors at the beginning must be excluded. Unidentified images... By the time he returned to Japan during the summer vacation, she even found out that he was in love with fiddling with the camera.

In April, Mochizuki breathed a sigh of relief when the list of promotion associates was announced.Now, she can be self-sufficient in income, but compared with the well-off situation when she relied on her parents in the past, she is not well off.Most of the quasi-subordinates who were promoted in the same year rented a small apartment and moved out of their parents' house.However, in order to save travel expenses such as air tickets, she negotiated with her parents to pay living expenses on a fixed monthly basis, and continued to live in an apartment in Higashi Ginza.

Williams, Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter signed up to run early this summer, but Rukawa did not.He will automatically qualify for the NBA draft next year as a NCAA graduating player. Fallbreak is too short, and from November to March of the following year, there are league games for the senior season, so Mochizuki can only use the year-end and new year leave to fly to Chapel Hill to meet.This summer is his last chance to return home.

The home in Tokyo is definitely not available, so she used summerleave and annual leave to make up ten days with the weekend before and after, and lived with him in Fujisawa, the house his family rebuilt after the fire.

I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but I don't have the strange feeling of meeting at RDU last time.In order to keep up with Rukawa's striding meteor, Mochizuki trotted along the exit barrier, and threw himself into his arms as soon as he turned the corner.Regardless of the fact that this is already Japan, the flow of people entering and leaving Narita Airport is all with a calm and introverted expression.

The new house is equipped with basic furniture, which is enough for daily life, but no one has lived in it since it was built, and it has been closed for four or five years.There are no pots and pans, and it is inconvenient to start a stove, so we can only eat outside.

Before entering the door, Mochizuki looked at the door plate with the word "Rukawa" written on it, and unconsciously reached out to caress it.A thought suddenly came to his mind, and the beautiful lip arc raised high in a snicker was caught by him who was turning around to pick up the trolley case.Although it was still before noon, the sunshine was particularly bright, and her smile was so bright that he was dazed for a moment.That afternoon six years ago, she broke into his world with such a smile.

As soon as the door was closed, Rukawa hugged her and pushed her to the corner for questioning.

She didn't want to confess at first, but as his nose and lips approached inch by inch, she could only surrender.

"Just a whim... Does 'KA-O-RU' with 'RUKAWA' sound weird?"

Mochizuki lowered her voice, a little embarrassed, not knowing how to explain her wild thoughts.His pitch-black eyes were so close together, and the stars flickered like a galaxy.

The tip of his nose was gently pressed against his, and she heard him chuckle, "I never thought that you would be willing to change your surname."

God, he actually smiled, making her dizzy.

It took almost a day to clean the room.After drying the mop and rag, the two showered and fell one after the other on the straw mat laid flat on the ground.They turned their heads and looked at each other, reaching out their hands almost at the same time to pull the knot on the belt of the other's bathrobe.

No amount of kissing or caressing seemed enough.Each other's bodies frantically called and responded to each other.Every inch of skin is rubbed against each other, replaced by the other's body temperature, until the demand for each other climbs to the apex.

...............................................................................

The lingering night before may be due to poor choice of location, or too much stretching of the posture. In short, when Mochizuki woke up, his whole body was sore and lazy.

Rukawa was still jet-lagged, and even though he was as sleepy as he was, he didn't sleep as well as usual.He didn't have the habit of picking up the remote control when he sat on the sofa, but when Mochizuki got up to have breakfast, he found that the TV in the living room was on, and a certain channel of J-SPORTS was rebroadcasting. Contest.Ask him if Sakuragi has appeared?He nodded, although he didn't follow up with any comments, but if the "big idiot" he had said in his mouth every day in the past, if the play in a few years didn't meet his expectations, he probably didn't have the patience to watch the game to the end. .

Despite having had little sleep, the kid looked surprisingly refreshed.In the end, those who rely on their bodies and their voices to wander around the rivers and lakes are not at the same level of flexibility.she thought angrily.

After practice in the morning, Rukawa went to visit coach Anzai.Mochizuki turned on the laptop, lay down on the bed and started PS.

Using two cameras and PhotoShop to write a unique tale of two cities is the inspiration for Rukawa's photos of Dogwood in April.Dogwood, North Carolina's state flower, is called "Hanamizuki" in Japan, and it blooms when the cherry blossoms wither.Round, heart-shaped pinkish-white petals with a slight burnt mark on the upper recess.When it is in full bloom, it will be densely covered with Kazuki. When shooting the distant view, it has the same beauty as the cherry blossoms she took in Tokyo.

Thus, a wonderful brain hole was opened.From the beginning of looking for similarities or connections in the photos Rukawa took with her, to the completely open proposition every week and her spiritual interpretation, these photos seemed to come alive, which made Rukawa amazed.

After two hours of hard work, Mochizuki looked at the three-page creative jigsaw puzzle that was newly born by his subordinates, and rushed towards Rukawa who had just entered the door after changing his shoes with his laptop in his hand, showing off his proficient PS skills to him.

The pink window sill on which she had a giraffe puppet, and his orange window sill with plaid curtains; his favorite figurines that she stumbled upon by chance, and the smiling dessert spoon she dropped in his kitchen; His teammate's cat.

Rukawa clicked the left and right keys to turn back and forth, and inadvertently spit out a sentence: "I don't know how many copies will be saved before our wedding."

She stayed for a few seconds, threw the laptop onto the sofa, and sent five bursts of fragrant kisses on his forehead, cheeks, nose tip and lips.

...............................................................................

Rukawa took the plane back to Chapel Hill on Monday afternoon, but Mochizuki still didn't go to see him off.When they are together, they are so happy and dizzy, and when they are apart, the pain like tearing silk threads is so unbearable. It is so hard that she can't sit still, and she must grasp what is related to him.

So, she went to Xiangbei—a place she hadn't seen for several years.

From a distance, the sound of footsteps and dribbling could be heard echoing outside the gymnasium.A group of girls in school uniforms and miniskirts surrounded the door, with affectionate or passionate eyes, following the running figure of the new male god all the way, moving back and forth between the two baskets.

The students in the 95 world have all graduated for three years. Even the freshmen in high school at that time had graduated for a whole year.Of the former Shonhoku Five Tigers, apart from Sakuragi being recruited into the national team, Mitsui playing professional league games in the BJ-League, and also appearing on sports channels, no one remembers Kaede, Miyagi and Akagi, right?Especially Feng, who went to study in the United States in the summer of his third year of high school—maybe except for some old photos in the archives, the record of winning the MVP of the IH County Competition and the National Competition, word of mouth in the basketball team, and several versions of the senior record /Anecdote, no one mentions it anymore, he who once spent his sweat and youth here.

Where did the desk that was engraved with countless words "Iloveyou" go?

...............................................................................

(November 1999)

In last year's NBA draft, Rukawa's former teammate Vince Carter was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the fifth overall pick in the first round, then exchanged with Antawn Jamison and traded to the Toronto Raptors.

98-99年赛季，VinceCarter获得最佳新秀奖，入选最佳新秀阵容第一队。参赛50场，其中49场出任首发，场均出战35.2分钟，得到18.3分、5.7个篮板、3次助攻、1.5次盖帽和1.1次抢断。

And Zebei, who graduated from Duke and has been compared with Rukawa by the media for three years, is also from Japan. His first year in the NBA was not ideal.Zebei, the reference for predicting the future of Japanese players in the NBA, and the TarHeels, who entered the NCAA tournament with the third seed last season, fell in the first round and fell to the lowest record since 1982. The prospect of the first draft has cast a heavy shadow.

Although North Carolina just lost three stars in the "sixstarters" after last year's draft, Rukawa didn't get much room to play.The team is still unstable after the big change. Coach Bill does not encourage players to show their individual talents too much, but emphasizes that winning should rely on the cooperation of the whole team.

Trial training, pre-election training camp, and the approaching NBA draft at the end of the month, Rukawa began to experience the tension of Zebei last year.

Under such unimaginable physical and mental pressure, his anxiety could not be heard on the phone.Maybe it's his naturally dull nervousness, maybe he never wastes his attention on things beyond his control.

Last year, taking the opportunity of Mili in "Trigun", Mochizuki finally let a small number of people remember her voice, and her word-of-mouth has steadily increased.

Before the general voting for the annual seiyuu awards, Tokuma Shoten Monthly アニメージュ (AM) mentioned her in the special issue of newcomers who debuted after 95, and gave a very high evaluation—— "Mochizuki Kaoru interprets Mi Li, a kind, persistent girl with a pure heart, with tenderness and tenacity under the rough appearance very well, and even steals the limelight from the protagonist." Therefore, it was once widely rumored in the institute that she is expected to be shortlisted This year's "Newcomer Girls Excellence Award".

Although the number of votes counted by various media did not send Mochizuki to the list of nominees for the final selection, it cleared away most of the obstacles for her to stay in Qinger Production.In April, she became the No.1 official affiliate after the firm's opening.

Knowing that she had overdrawn her annual leave and booked a plane ticket in advance to fly to Washington to cheer for him, Rukawa did not hide his expectation.Regardless of whether the results of the draft are good or bad, after all, this is one of the most important sites in life, and he will also hope for her company, and hope that she is indeed by his side.

And on the last working day before departure, HR came to her with the folder of the newly signed artist, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Yes... what's wrong?" Mochizuki took a deep breath after closing the door.Her intuition told her that what was waiting for her was not good news.

"Xiao Xun, I need you to calm down."

She sat down across the desk, clasped her hands, and nodded.

"First of all, at present, the large nodules are only detected on the left side of your thyroid gland. What is the nature? Further review is needed. Secondly, the chance of cancer in this part of the tumor is very small; taking a step back, even if it is malignant, the tumor after surgery The survival rate is also as high as 90%.

...! ?Thyroid nodules?Cancer?The air-conditioning in the room seemed to have not been turned on enough, Mochizuki felt a tide of sweat on his forehead.After receiving the medical report, she quickly searched for keywords on the paper, trying to understand what the other person said.

"Xiao Xun, don't you feel anything yourself? Is there a family history?"

"I don't know...probably not." She heard her voice trembling.

"It's just that the thyroid gland is very close to the vocal cords. So we hope you can go for a review as soon as possible..." "..."

Vocal cords - vocal cords - vocal cords...

This was the last word that Mochizuki grasped clearly, like an atomic bomb exploded in his ear.

The author has something to say: Girl, it's been along, longtimecomin'

But I, I know that it's been worth the wait

It feels like spring time in winter

It feels like Christmas in June

It feels like heaven has opened up

its gates form and you

And every time I close my eyes

I thank the lord that I've got you

Andyou've got metoo

And every time I think of fit

To think of fall the nights I've cried myself to sleep

You really ought to know how much you mean

It's only right that you be in my life

Right here with me, oh baby, baby

☆、Chapter 24

Re-examination, doctor's explanation of the results, and information review on the Internet.After the initial panic, Mochizuki didn't take long to get into active coping mode.

In fact, it is not a difficult disease.If it is a "hot nodule", it can almost be judged as benign.Unfortunately, radionuclide scanning shows "cold nodules", and 5% to 8% of them are malignant.Therefore, he was sent for a fine-needle aspiration cytology examination with an accuracy rate of 70% to 90%, which roughly ruled out the possibility of a malignant tumor at this stage.However, in view of the fact that the diameter of the nodule greatly exceeds the recommended resection of 3 cm, and occasionally compresses the esophagus, the comprehensive diagnosis should be surgical treatment.

No wonder you feel tired all the time.The discomfort when swallowing... I can't remember clearly, it started probably half a year ago.It's just too mild, and there is no family history, and I have never given a moment's attention.

There is no danger of life unless a malignant tumor is found during the operation.However, the recurrent laryngeal nerve is easily damaged during the resection operation. It is not uncommon for patients to have hoarse voice and vocal cord paralysis within two weeks to several months after the operation.Most people can gradually recover within three to six months, and about 5% of people need one to two years longer.Of course there are worse cases - permanent damage to the vocal cords/recurrent laryngeal nerve.

The first time I called and discussed with Rukawa.There are only two roads ahead of them——

She went to the United States as originally planned to accompany him to participate in the draft and undergo surgery there afterward.Can accompany each other to the greatest extent, but the cost is a big problem.Mochizuki has medical insurance in Japan, and she only needs to pay [-]% of the cost. When she goes to the United States, even if the thyroid nodule is not a major operation, the full payment will exceed the upper limit she can afford at present.In order to concentrate on playing, Rukawa relied on scholarships and parental funding for a living throughout college.

Otherwise, each will go through the challenge first.He goes to Washington for the draft and she gets surgery ASAP in Tokyo.

It seems that there are two paths, but being forced by reality, there is actually not much room for choice.

After the results of the follow-up visit were sent to the company, the boss personally talked to Mochizuki.The words are very tactful, but the gist is clear and cruel: We don't want labor unions to cause trouble, so we hope you will take the initiative to apply for career break.If you don't cooperate, the firm is absolutely capable of blocking—if not 100%, at least 90% of your future success.If you're willing to cooperate, we can smooth your way back if things go well with surgery and recovery, but if things don't work out, you know what to do.

It would be a lie to say that I was not shocked, and I even tried my best to hold back tears.No matter how she was treated and raised as an adult by adults since she was a child, they still protected her with warmth.Even if he thinks he understands the world and people, he is just a newcomer in society. Sitting in front of a superior who has experienced many battles and understands human nature, he will be defeated like an eagle and a rabbit.

...............................................................................

The draft will be held at [-]:[-] p.m. DST.Mochizuki has been watching the live broadcast on the TV since eight o'clock in the morning.The mood is like riding a roller coaster, no less than the tension at the scene.Occasionally, the camera would sweep across Rukawa, or give a close-up of him, and her nerves would suddenly tense up, as if even breathing became labored.

Before being pushed into the operating room, he still refused to take his eyes off the TV screen.It wasn't until my mother whispered "Goodluck" and kissed her forehead, the lights on the operating table were turned on, and the nurse prepared the anesthetic needle, that overwhelming fear came to my heart.If there is an unexpected discovery during the operation, survival becomes the first priority; if the voice becomes different or loses its characteristics, the agency will ask her to leave; if the road to comeback is not smooth, the rehabilitation will take too long, and the audience has forgotten her voice ...

After the needle is inserted into the body, the anesthetic spreads rapidly.Before her consciousness was swallowed by the darkness, she suddenly wanted to touch her phone, and wanted to take another look at the message that Rukawa sent to her phone last night before falling asleep.Too bad I don't have my phone with me.

So, the memory automatically returned to 12 hours ago——

The azure blue information reminder light flickered on the bedside of the ward after the lights were turned off.Opening the lock screen, a line of words jumped into her eyes.

"Nomatter whathappens, you still got me."

...............................................................................

When the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Mochizuki was gradually gripped by the pain from the neck incision and woke up from a deep sleep.

I hardly ate anything on the day after the operation, and it all depended on the drip into the back of my hand.Through the mirror, I saw that there was a hideous long scar on the originally slender and flawless neck.The wound was swollen after suturing and felt hard.

According to the NBA Express on the sports channel, Rukawa was picked by the Los Angeles Clippers with the second pick in the second round last night in the US time.This pick is unsatisfactory, but not surprising.

The next day, I had no appetite for breakfast and only drank a glass of warm water.When the chief surgeon came to make the rounds, he said that today he can take a semi-recumbent position, which is good for breathing and drainage of incision exudate.When changing body positions, be sure to protect your neck.At noon, my mother and Kondo forcibly fed some semi-liquid food. When I swallowed, the pulling feeling was too strong, and I choked and coughed several times.

In the drowsiness of the afternoon nap, I felt that the hand holding my hand by the bed became bigger and warmer. It should be Uncle Hao or my father who replaced my mother to eat.

She was in a light sleep that was easy to wake up, but because of the sense of stability from the palm of the person guarding her side, she fell into a deep and steady sleep.I dreamed of him before waking up, and the picture was so real that I could smell his fragrance.

Then slowly, reluctantly opened his eyes.Mochizuki's whole body was shaken by the silhouette of a profile face that appeared vaguely in his line of sight.

Still a little uncertain, he reached out his hand to the sleeping face of the dreamer.The beard on the chin is like grass that has just been unearthed. It feels prickly, but it doesn't look sloppy at all.

When she moved, Rukawa woke up.His tired eyes were red, probably because he didn't get enough sleep to catch the plane, he looked like a cute child who was woken up while sleeping.

The mouth moved a few times, but only incoherent hoarse syllables came out.Only then did she remember that it was still difficult for her to make a sound, and the doctor told her to try not to speak.

Rukawa guessed what she was going to ask.After the draft, he rushed to Dulles Airport, took a flight that departed at 6:45 in the morning, flew for 17 hours, and arrived at Narita Airport at 12:40 noon.

He should have never seen her look so haggard.Uncombed messy hair, dark circles and a pale face, with drips and drainage tubes inserted into his body.How ugly it would be if she cried again, but——she couldn't help it.

On that day, he told her not to give up easily, saying that he would do his best.The text message he sent her before the operation had already made her brave enough, but she didn't expect him to appear by her side without saying anything. His bestism more than enough.

Usually together, Mochizuki always talks more.Now that she has finished crying, she uses pen and paper instead of talking, sick
