single row ahead

"Don't look..." The tone was almost pleading.

Oda Sakunosuke thought he was shedding tears, but in fact there was not even a little moisture on the dry eye sockets.

Tears have been dried by the fire, and my heart has been boiled into charcoal in that fire.

The only thing left in that hollow chest is the fireworks of revenge and the only part of Xue's faltering meek heart left.

"Don't watch it...don't watch it...don't watch it..." Oda Sakunosuke just mumbled and repeated this sentence, the only thing in his mind that was empty and bewildered because most of his life was suddenly taken away was A thought—

Xue couldn't keep such a tragic memory in her mind for a lifetime.

Oda Sakunosuke tightly hugged the trembling white-haired boy in his arms, and stroked the boy's thin back with firm and decisive strength again and again. In the frenzy like a flood breaking a dam, some Thinking with pity, this child has not grown up at all. Since he picked up Xue from the ruins, no matter how he raised him, Xue has always been in this emaciated and emaciated figure, neither growing tall nor changing. Get a little stronger.

But it doesn't matter, Oda Sakunosuke piously put a kiss on the top of Xue's head, and in the future, Xue will eat well, grow up well, and smile in the sun well, along with the other five children.

Because of the pain that almost exploded his entire head, Xue almost lost all perception of the outside world, and focused all his attention on the flashing images that flooded into his head. He subconsciously cuddled up against his In the familiar and most trustworthy breath, his whole body twitched, wanting to seek some comfort.

Under the defense that was completely let go because of trust, Oda Sakunosuke touched his hand to the back of Yuki's head almost smoothly and unbelievably smoothly.

He stroked the fine, fluffy snow-white hair on the back of Xue's head with nostalgia, and then nimbly and quickly tapped on the back of Xue's head.

The body of the white-haired boy who kept twitching in pain collapsed limply in his arms, which made the wine-red-haired young man feel a sense of relief. After losing the other five children, only The sad performance of the remaining child made Oda Sakunosuke's already tattered heart twitch and tormented.

"Yuki needs to sleep well...after waking up, everything will be fine." Oda Sakunosuke said to the comatose boy in a gentle tone that even he himself didn't believe.

It's not going to get better, it's never going to be the same.While speaking childlike and innocent words to Xue, he spurned and denied it with the rationality of an adult in his heart.

Oda Sakunosuke picked up Yuki horizontally, and numbly walked past the charred black van that had left five children buried in gray and black smoke. He walked upstairs, and stepped over the black blood clots that flowed from the boss's body to the floor after time had dried and dried. The shadow that fell on the warm floor was as dark and bleak as the hatred that suddenly rose in his heart. Sakunosuke Oda took a step Stepping up the steps step by step, he went up to the second floor.

In this family, perhaps the only room that has remained the same is Xue's room.

Because he lived in school all the year round, most of Yuki’s belongings were moved to the dormitory. There were only a few simple clothes left in this room, and there was only a bed and a set of tables that Oda Sakunosuke bought for him later. It's just a chair.

Such a simple and clear room could be seen to the end at a glance, presumably even the enemy didn't bother to search for it, so Xue was finally able to keep her own room.

Oda Sakunosuke took off his shoes and coat for Yuki, put him on the bed, shook off the quilt that had just been dried before Yuki returned and still smelled of sunshine, and covered him, carefully tucking the corners of the quilt, Put Xue's coat on the back of the chair again.

Oda Sakunosuke's gaze froze for a moment on a decoration on the table.

It was the doll that once came back to life and told him that he was Xue's adoptive father, and Xue put it on the table casually.

The child does not appear to have taken the doll to school.

Oda Sakunosuke vaguely recalled this incident, and for some unknown reason, he picked up the doll and gently placed it on Yuki's face, pressing down on a strand of white hair winding on the pillow.

When he finally left the room, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly had the urge to turn around and look at the child again, but he tried his best to restrain it.

Can't look back, Oda Sakunosuke warned himself in his heart, he was afraid, when he turned his head, he saw the peaceful sleeping face of the child, saw the warm scene he had longed for, he would give up revenge, and only live with that child from now on The idea of ​​going down.

He closed the door.

At the same time, I also cut off all my weaknesses and all the bright future I had expected.

Do not know why.

At such a time, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly recalled that day two years ago, he thought he had long forgotten, what Yuki had asked him.

[Will there be me in your novel? ]

What was his answer then?

As long as I think about it for a while, those words that have sunk in the depths of my memory can be unearthed so easily.

[There will be.There will be snow, there will be Kosuke, there will be Shinji, there will be Yu, there will be Katsumi, there will be Sakura, there will be a blue sky, a beautiful sunset, and a vast sea...]

Sorry, Snow.Oda Sakunosuke quickly loaded a gun and stuffed it into his waist, his eyes were burning with flames, but there was a kind of emptiness in the deepest part.

No more.

There will be nothing more.

There will be no more Kosuke, no Shinji, no Yuu, no Katsumi, and no Sakura.

And that novel was about to be broken by the creator himself before it was born.

Oda Sakunosuke thought of Yuki's trembling body in his arms.

...and maybe there will never be snow again.

Loading the last gun, Oda Sakunosuke took a last look around the tiny room that had once been filled with the laughter of five children.

Rest in peace, everyone.

A knocking sound of the door gently closing brought the final ending to this warm story.

After suddenly losing consciousness, Xue finally got rid of the messy and chaotic memory like a cake being lifted high and dropped heavily, and also got rid of the non-stop babbling and talking in her mind. The malicious jealousy and resentment of this kind of people.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice woke him up from his ignorant and drowsy consciousness.

Like a man, like a woman, like old like young.

"...the Lingke boy... Fang Accelerator... wake up, wake up!"

When he was in a trance, he suddenly became clear, and there was a place in the darkness in front of his eyes that radiated soft and warm light.

Humans are animals that gravitate toward light and heat, so Accelerator is also greedy for the light that makes him feel close to him, and subconsciously moves closer to that direction.

The closer, the more intimate.

The closer you get, the more you want to get closer.

When she was only a short distance away from that light, Xue finally couldn't restrain the strange longing in her heart, and reached out to touch the warm white light.

Great light.

Xue subconsciously squinted her eyes, and after the whiteness faded away, two shadowy figures appeared in front of him.

A sickly adult man, with a skeleton-like body without much flesh, a loose T-shirt of just the right length, but because of his thinness, it hangs empty on his body.

Familiar yet unfamiliar.

However, when his blue and tolerant eyes looked at him, Yuki couldn't raise her usual defense against strangers anyway, instead, she wanted to believe and want to face Odasaku. to depend on.

Xue looked at him, and the thin man who gave him a wonderful sense of intimacy opened his arms towards him, and stared deeply at him with sky-like eyes.

The empty shape formed by those hands attracted him, making him want to throw himself into the man's arms and fill the embrace.

A petite and lovely girl was smiling at him with a big sunny smile, and the dull hair on her head flickered with the bouncing movements of her master.

Xue couldn't move his eyes away, he stared fixedly at that lively and agile figure, as if looking through the crowd in the bustling street, seeing family members whom he hadn't seen for a long time, for some reason there was a sour feeling in his heart , along the throat, invaded the nose, and dyed the eye sockets red.

The white-haired boy staggered forward a few steps, opened his mouth, and wanted to call out her name that had echoed in his chest for a long time.

"...!"

However, he couldn't, he had never seen her at all, and he didn't know her at all, so how could he say her name?

"Lost person, found~" Just when Xue was hesitating, the girl spoke, and a lively voice rang in her ears. She stepped forward and put her arms around his waist.

Xue raised her hand at a loss, not daring to touch the girl's glowing body, for fear that she would accidentally smash the dreamer into pieces.

However, at this time, another voice sounded behind him.

"Come back soon, Lingke boy." The gentle and generous voice contained deep thoughts and strong helplessness.

The next moment, Xue found herself falling into the hug she longed for, filling that shape completely.

"I..." he said in a daze, "I don't know you..."

Even so, Xue's hand hesitantly caressed the girl's short brown hair, the soft touch, even the fingertips seemed to be filled with the fragrance of the sun.

"Don't you really remember?"

The girl and the man asked at the same time.

Can't remember?

Really don't remember?

Do you really not remember——

These words echoed in Snow's mind.

He remembered.

He should have remembered.

In the depths of the long-closed memory.

It seemed like something was about to burst out.
