iceberg principle

################################### Ending B begins here ############# #####################

She thought that the days probably passed by like this, without hope or despair, just walking slowly to the end, and then the curtain call.However, turning points often come inadvertently, and this time is no exception.

On this day, she finished her work early and habitually connected to the eyeball next to that person.While the familiar figure from the back occupied the entire screen, there was a sudden knock on the door that had been silent for a long time.

"Oh, here we come..." She disconnected, hurriedly opened the door, and then froze, only to realize later that the person in the image just now seemed to have come to such a wooden door.

"Ah... you, hello..."

The big black cat outside the door said nothing, just stared at her with a pair of dull cat eyes.

She was flustered for a while, and her face turned red unnaturally, but when she heard the first sentence of the other party, it turned pale.

"Sure enough, are you the one who has been staring at me with 'Nan'?...The bounty hunter Susu who passed the 287th hunter exam."

His deep and indisputable voice is very pleasant to hear, but unfortunately, his tone is too cold and emotionless.

[Even my name and address have been investigated clearly, as expected...it must have been exposed...]

[Will you...will kill me? 】

Her heart was full of bitterness, and the joy of finally meeting her was overwhelmed by strong negative emotions, and the bitterness in her heart almost drowned her from the top of her head.

Unfortunately, she misjudged the other party again.

Seeing her pale cheeks, Yi Ermi kindly clarified: "I won't kill you... because no one hired me."

Her pale complexion did not ease a little because of these words, but the emotions in her heart unconsciously set off a huge wave.

【This person doesn't care about me... he doesn't even care about killing me. 】

[This is the distance between me and you? !It's so far away... Even killing and being killed can't be achieved...]

Although she has never expected to have an intersection with this person in the future, she still unconsciously hopes to be at least a little closer to him, as long as a little... Then, what she said just now obviously captured her expectation in a flash. hell.

In just a moment, she felt again that she had lost her original belief and that she was incompatible with this world.

——The world she thought she had had finally abandoned her.

That clear voice said something that made her more painful.

"Can you stop looking at me so secretly?...I'm getting married soon, it will be very troublesome."

At this moment, her heart was so painful that it was numb, swollen, twitching, and the corners of her wide-open eyes were filled with mist.

It's actually a marriage... Oh, how could it be? !I've never seen him dating any woman at all... Why, this——it's so ridiculous!

But... it's not funny at all...

…………

In the urge to cry, she fell into chaos, and she didn't even notice what the man said again or when he left.

When she regained her senses, she found herself standing on the river bridge at night, facing the cold wind, with a splitting headache.

She stroked her dull, aching head, and the thing she was holding in her hand fell to the ground with a "slap".She suddenly smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her body.

【Ah, so that's the case...】

She carefully picked up the small box that fell on the ground, opened it, and a pair of well-cut diamond rings came into view.The superb workmanship made the two rings reflect charming brilliance under the dim streetlight, which easily made her eyes sour.

She vaguely remembered that shortly after the man left, she left home in a daze, mortgaged her hard-won hunter certificate, bought this pair of wedding rings, and then went to the tavern to get drunk until the lights came on...

The icy wind at high altitude finally cleared her mind.She laughed at herself, played with the diamond ring in her hand, and almost greedily read the cursive words engraved in the slender ring.

——"Susu & Yiermi", there is a circle of simple "heart" symbols outside the words.

This is what she has always wanted to do but has no courage to do: in the name of that person, give herself a wedding ring, and give herself the world together.

It's really a very romantic way, but unfortunately, before he really did it, he and his world have already deviated from each other.

【Then, cry... as a final farewell...】

She put on the women's diamond ring blankly, on her ring finger, and then began to cry silently.Seeing the tears falling drop by drop into the dark river, she suddenly had a wonderful idea:

Now, just by jumping, I can go home, back to my world, my 21st century.

She hasn't thought about going home for a long time, ever since she became obsessed with that figure from behind.Love makes her foolish, foolishly watching, foolishly expecting foolishly, foolishly getting hurt, foolishly pursuing death.

【It's just, there's only this... I can't let it go...】

Struggling to look at the other diamond ring in his hand, I really hope that it can lie on another person's ring finger at this moment, even if it is only for a moment - what a luxury!

Gritting her teeth, she clenched the diamond ring tightly, and threw it into the river with a raised hand.The silver-white body of the ring drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell downwards. Just as it was about to disappear into the night, a nail pierced through the air at a strange angle and hit the body of the ring, sending out a The clank of metal clashing.

The ring that bounced up due to the reaction force was firmly caught by a bony hand, and her body, which was about to climb over the guardrail, paused and turned back in disbelief.

A big black cat with a cold face appeared silently behind her, and of course put on the diamond ring on her ring finger.

"Is it so hard to accept? Marry me..."

A rare trace of annoyance appeared on his face, which was considered to be suffering from facial paralysis, and he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Being tacitly allowed to stare at me for so long, do you think... you can still escape?!"

Hearing this, she cried for most of the day, her face was full of astonishment.After a whirlwind, she fell into a familiar yet unfamiliar embrace, without any smell, but warm enough.

"Silly girl..."

A low sigh resounded in her ears, carrying her heart together, lost in the melting moonlight.

——If this is a dream, she is willing to let it go and sleep for a long time.

The author has something to say:

This is the finale of a novel I wrote to comfort myself during the most painful days of my third year of high school. The idea at the time was very strange, so I wrote it a bit brain-dead (cover my face~) It is better to rewrite A not long ago...

However, I really want to buy a diamond ring and give it to myself in the name of Il fans. It can be regarded as a small sacrifice for the hopeless love in my heart. How about it, it’s super romantic!

Absolutely the best short story!You can omit a lot of things, so cool~~~
