Lark's

When I met me once, I said that she would leave Japan for a period of time, and it was difficult for me to seek her help, but I could vaguely feel that the disappearance of Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others might have something to do with what happened ten years later.So I specially contacted members of the technical department overseas and asked them to draw portraits of Tsunayoshi Sawada and others ten years later, and then search according to the portraits.

Still to no avail.

Considering that Hibari Kyouya is still looking for them, I decided to tell him the situation.As a result, the only one who came back that day was Yundou who looked a little panicked.

"Skylark! Skylark!" When the little guy found me, he almost rushed forward.It kept calling Hibari, and I realized what might have happened, so I gently grabbed it and stroked its feathers, and waited for it to calm down a little before taking out my mobile phone and dialing the number of Hibari Kyouya.

No one answered.

As usual, if he came back later, he would always email me.Even if it is a special situation, Tetsuya Kusakabe will call to inform.

I contacted Kusakabe, heard his confused response, and finally confirmed the fact that Hibari Kyouya disappeared.

Is it the same as Sawada Tsunayoshi?

Tetsuya Kusakabe on the other end of the phone was still calling my name, but I was rarely able to open my mouth to respond.The twilight gradually closed, the elongated shadows of the wooden pillars in the corridor slowly receded, the wind chimes rang softly, and the Yundou still danced uncomfortably on my shoulders.It was clearly a sunny day, but it reminded me of the night when Hibari Kyouya was seven years old and didn't go home for the first time.

"Miss Ito—Miss Ito? Are you still listening? I have sent all the discipline committee members to look for it. Most of the committee members are just looking for the missing students. I believe they will be back soon...Miss Ito?"

"Yeah. I'm here."

"Do you...do you have any orders?"

"It's nothing. You don't need to panic too much."

"Hi!"

After hanging up the phone, I took out the biscuits, crushed them, and fed them to Yundou.It gradually stabilized and waited with me at the dinner table.In the early hours of the morning, I got up and poured out the dinner, washed the dishes and went back to my room to rest.

A night without dreams.

Early the next morning, I contacted Gabriele, but there was still no news of Hibari Kyouya.I went to the backyard to feed the goldfish in the pond, then cleaned up the house and went out.And with the disciplinary committee in charge, I will no longer do useless work.I just walked around the surrounding towns and found no clues.

Thinking of checking the whereabouts of the rocket launcher ten years later, I remembered that Hibari Kyoya said ten years later that we could not go back to that era.

Then it dawned on me that he might have expected this situation then.

What a cunning.It's just that I haven't known him for ten years, so I can't see his plan anymore.

"Ahhh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." A man walking towards me on the street suddenly swayed his foot and bumped into my shoulder, and quickly apologized.Silver hair, dark green kimono.I nodded in response, and continued to walk forward, and suddenly I heard the other party sigh.

A vague silhouette appeared in his mind, also with silver hair and a long sigh.

I stopped and turned around, but I couldn't find the figure of that person in the crowd.

Maybe I remembered wrongly.How could it be possible to bump into the same person again after a hundred years?

At night, the house was deserted, and when I walked through the long corridor, I also passed Kyouya Hibari's room, stopped slowly, and finally opened his door.There was no light in the room, and there was no trace of him returning.Standing in front of the door, I suddenly remembered the two days and nights after the death of Mr. Arnold a century ago.

In those two days I finished my work as usual.Get up in the morning to prepare breakfast, clean the house, and dry the clothes.When there are no more clothes to wash, I clean up over and over again.Going in and out of Mr. Arnold's study time and time again, bringing in steaming food, and after an hour, bringing the cold meals back to the kitchen in their entirety.

Sometimes I would stand at the door of the study and look at Mr. Arnold sitting on the chair, telling myself that he hadn't left yet.

After all, he never talked much.Even the posture of passing away seems to be just sitting there with closed eyes and taking a nap.

Until the morning of the third day, when I was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

At that moment, I almost broke the whole tea set: "Mr. Arnold——"

But when he turned around, he saw the old face of Mr. Oldfield.

"Ollie." He looked into my eyes, emerald eyes with emotions I couldn't understand, "Dad has gone." Then he covered my eyes with his hand, and finally sighed a little more in his tone Like mourning, "Sorry. We didn't get back in time."

It was only later that I realized that the moment I turned around, I had already started to cry.

The jingling wind chimes in the corridor kept ringing, I closed the door of Hibari Kyouya's room, and went back to my bedroom.

When I woke up with a headache in the middle of the night, I found that I had a fever.I got up and took antipyretics, but it didn't improve the next day.I went out like the day before, but I still couldn't find Hibari Kyouya.

The high fever persisted, and when I went out again on the third day, I was a little unconscious.

All she knew was that she didn't want to stay in the house anymore, she was at a loss like Auriella back then, but everything remained the same.

When I returned to Hibari House in the evening, I didn't expect to see Tetsuya Kusakabe waiting in front of the door.

What he said in a rambling manner, my ears were ringing, but I didn't hear clearly.I heard a few words from time to time, probably because I noticed that my complexion was not good and wanted to persuade me to go to the hospital.

I shook my head and smiled at him, "Wait a little longer. I promised to look for it."

I promised to look for it.When I promised not to let him come back, I found no one in the house.

Kusakabe Tetsuya seemed to say something else, but I didn't finish listening, so I went back to the room to rest.

I fell asleep in a daze until the yard was full of sunlight, only to realize that I was top-heavy and had no strength to get up.But when he heard Yundou flying into the backyard, he flapped his wings quickly, as if he was very energetic.

It was probably hallucinations, and not long after it flew out, I heard familiar footsteps.

From the vestibule to the promenade, approach step by step.

When I opened my eyes and stood up against the wall, I was inevitably dizzy.After opening the door and walking into the corridor, I really saw him.

It was the same as usual, wearing the uniform of Bingzhong, walking against the light.

I raised the corner of my mouth and put on a smile, wanting to say "You're back", but my vision went dark and I completely lost consciousness.

Whether he heard it or not, I never broke my promise.

I tried looking for it, but couldn't find it.

Fortunately...you are still back.

29. Nine...

I don't know how long I was in a coma. When I opened my eyes again, I stared at the ceiling for a long time before I slowly realized that I was lying in the ward.

There were no medical staff around, so I sat up and pressed the bedside pager.There was a lot of alcohol smell on my body, presumably it was a persistent high fever, so I had to rub alcohol to physically cool down.I took the mobile phone on the bedside table and checked the date and time, but I didn't expect to fall asleep for two days.

Along with my clothes, there was a bouquet of carnations on the bedside table.Taking out the card inserted between the flowers, I was surprised to find that not only the handwriting was unfamiliar, but even the language was my familiar mother tongue.

"I wish you a speedy recovery. I hope you accept the gift that has been delayed for many years."

Signed Garcafis.Looks like it should be a pseudonym.

Years overdue gift?Could it be the bouquet of flowers?

Doctors and nurses rushed to the ward quickly, and first asked me a few simple questions, as if to make sure my head was not burned.They were all very nervous, and the logic of the narration was a bit confused. Fortunately, I still understood the general idea, but I was just lamenting that I had a high fever of [-] degrees for three days, and I woke up without any serious problems.

"Ah, by the way..." The doctor flipped through my case and pushed the frame on the bridge of the nose, "Your drug allergy history has been updated. The previous case did not mention penicillin allergy, so something happened during the treatment. Please be sure to remember your drug allergies."

"Penicillin allergy?" That surprised me a bit. "Sorry, doctor. Could it be a mistake? I don't have a history of penicillin allergy."

"Eh? Is that so? But..." He frowned, and after thinking for a few seconds, he closed my case again, "Forget it, just to be on the safe side, let's do another skin test later."

The results of the skin test were unexpected.I am indeed allergic to penicillin.

It's a little strange.After all, for more than a hundred years, I have received countless penicillin treatments, and I have never been allergic to penicillin.And if you think about it carefully, this high fever came very suddenly.Not only did he have no symptoms of a cold, but even the symptoms of catching a cold did not appear.

A high fever suddenly developed, which inevitably made people suspicious.

"Miss Ito!" As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I caught a glimpse of Kusakabe Tetsuya running over, and his deep voice interrupted my thoughts.He stopped in front of me, took a quick look at me, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, you're finally recovered!"

"Mr. Cao Bi." I nodded to him, and found that his chin was covered with gauze, as if injured, "Are you injured?"

"Eh? Ah, this...cough, yes." Tetsuya Kusakabe dodged his eyes, cleared his throat in embarrassment at last, and changed the subject when he spoke again, "Anyway, let me send you back first. The chairman is still in the middle , will go back tonight."

I nodded with a smile and didn't expose him.Although he always hides something from me, he is loyal to Hibari Kyouya after all, so there is no need to correct this small problem.

On the way, I casually inquired about the situation of the past two days. I didn’t mention Hibari Kyoya’s disappearance. On the contrary, Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others unanimously explained that the past few days were just during the camping process.
