"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

"No, I will never agree."

"Why... Sister, please, I really want to participate..." Qin Hui couldn't think of any more reasons. In the face of her eldest sister's stubbornness, she found that no matter what she said, she would not be recognized. .

"Agree? What do you agree with? Look at you now, with your body, what do you think you can do?" Wue crossed her arms and glanced coldly at her younger sister, who was 12 years younger than her.

"Sister!" Without extra patience, Qin Hui couldn't help prolonging her tone, "I will take care of my physical problems!" She took a breath, softened her tone again, and whispered, "Sister, can you go to the hospital?" Singing on stage is my dream, I finally have such an opportunity..."

"No! Absolutely not!" Just before Kotoe finished speaking, Wue interrupted angrily, "Stage? Do you think being a so-called 'idol' is such a simple thing? Stop saying such things willfully Alright? Really! Why do I always have to worry about having a sister like you!" She tore off the pink apron with Hello Kitty, crumpled it in her hands and threw it aside heavily on the counter.

"Sister..." Qin Hui called weakly.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Mrs. Jiuyong, who was helping in the restaurant, interjected at the right time, she walked to Wue, put her hands on her shoulders to comfort her, "Miss Wue, calm down. "

"That's right," Mr. Zhou, the always smiling chef, also smoothed things over, "Qin Hui is getting older, and it's normal to have her own ideas. There's no need to be angry about such things!"

"Have her own ideas? If she has her own ideas, she can completely disregard my feelings?!" The anger was still there, and Wue rarely listened to Mr. Zhou's persuasion, "If it wasn't for her, I don't need to give up at all. The opportunity to go to university, if it wasn't for her illness, the 'Lily of the Valley' wouldn't be in such a bad financial situation!" Kirie waved her hands indiscriminately, ignoring that the person she was scolding was standing beside her at the moment before.The responsibility and pressure accumulated in my heart for a long time found an outlet in an instant, and broke out into fierce words unscrupulously, "I wasted time and money, so what did she do? She lied to me and imitated me." Handwriting on the registration form? She kept me in the dark, playing like a fool!"

Finally, she shook off Mrs. Jiuyong's hand, poked Kotoe's forehead fiercely with her index finger, and scolded Kotoe by name: "Kotoe Shimizu, let me tell you the truth: what do you think you can do with the current you? If Leave me, leave this 'Lily of the Valley Pavilion', you are nothing at all!"

Every word, as sharp as a cone, hit Qin Hui's heart.

Facing her approaching fingers, Qin Hui shrank back subconsciously.Then she raised her eyes, calmly met the eyes of her sister who was about to lose her mind in anger, and said coldly: "It's not that I forced you to give up going to college, it was you who made such a choice at the beginning, and now you're blaming me instead Is it?" After a pause, she let out a disdainful snort, "Yes, I spent time and money on me, but I ended up raising a waste. Why, do you regret it now? Then why? Throw me into the orphanage if I'm not there, and then enjoy your new life, and save me standing here and blocking your eyes!"

"Snapped"!

Mrs. Jiuyong and Mr. Zhou stood aside.

Kotoe's head followed the strength of the palm and turned aside, a few strands of black hair covered part of her cheeks in a mess.On one side of her face, a red mark of the palm clearly appeared.

Kirie's hand was still raised in the air, and the hovering fingers were still trembling.Then she moved her arm slowly, pointing her finger in the direction of the door. "Get out." She said without any emotion.

Qin Hui covered the place where she was beaten with her hands in embarrassment, and looked sideways at Wu Hui.The lingering sound after the clear and crisp sound seemed to echo in the cochlea, buzzing like tinnitus.She tried her best to hold back the choking sound in her throat, but a thin layer of tears already appeared in her pure black eyes.

"Get out!" Wu Hui raised her voice hysterically.

There was no need for her to say it a third time, Kotoe turned around slowly, forgetting the voices of Mrs. Jiuyong and Mr. Zhou, and she walked out of the restaurant step by step.As she was leaving the block, with her head down, she almost bumped into Aunt Kimura who was coming back from get off work.

"Ah, Kotoe, what's the matter?"

Not wanting Aunt Kimura to see her distressed appearance at the moment, Kotomo hastily bent over to her as a gesture of politeness, and then quickened her pace to pass by her.

"Xiao Qinhui?"

Reluctant to listen to Aunt Kimura's caring inquiries, she walked forward aimlessly as if venting, while raising her hand to wipe away the tears that kept falling from her eyes.The cheek on the side that was hit was still burning with pain, but compared with the humiliation she felt just now, it was completely nothing worth mentioning.

Anyway, in the eyes of my sister, I am just a useless existence, a void that consumes a lot of time and money but cannot be filled.She killed her parents back then, and now she is treated as a burden by her own sister.

Actually, she should have died at that time, right?

Qin Hui took out the bottle of spray that had accompanied her for many years from her pocket.She stared at the small katakana on the bottle, which were squeezed together awkwardly and gradually became blurred.Kotoe exerted the strength of her fingers and squeezed the small portable bottle in her palm.

This bottle is still new, she hasn't used it much.

It's this damn thing...it's better to throw it away!

The negative emotions in her mind viciously instigated her, and the thought of wanting to get rid of the Chinese medicine bottle completely filled her thoughts.If she throws it away, then as long as she gets sick, she can be completely... freed!

Kotoe raised her hand high, her arm was bent, and she wanted to throw it.However, she froze in this position for a long time in the air, and finally she retracted her hand in shame.

She can't.

As long as she thinks that death is close at hand, she will be so timid that she can't do the actions said in those rhetoric.

Covering her cheeks with her spare hand, Qin Hui stood by the roadside, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Dragging her heavy body, Kotoe stepped into the park beside her.He picked an unoccupied swing and sat down, then rested his head on the cold chain.The crying stopped a long time ago, but the cheeks with the remaining tears still hurt a little. The stickiness mixed with a slight tingling reminded her of what happened just now, and her sister's angry roar was still buzzing in her ears.

If someone yelled at her like that, she wouldn't care at all, and she could even retort calmly.However, if the other party is my sister... Maybe, in my sister's eyes, I am probably a dragging and useless existence.

"A person like me," she lowered her head, looking dejectedly at her reflection on the ground outlined by the setting sun. "Can't you do it?"

The sound of children playing loudly around slides and other amusement facilities can be heard nearby, and housewives returning from the supermarket gather together with large and small shopping bags to exchange new gossip information.And not far from the warm scene, the girl in gray was biting her lip aggrievedly, sitting alone on the swing.

Sure enough, at this time, I really want to see him.Even without saying anything, the two of them sitting side by side in such a quiet way can make her feel a lot of comfort.It's just—Kotoe tugged at the corner of her clothes—that guy has something to worry about recently.Even if he is his only friend, he cannot rely on him for everything.

The grievance accumulated in her chest has nowhere to vent, it can only make her more depressed.

Just then, the phone in her pocket vibrated.

Will it be my sister?For a moment, Kotoe fantasized hopefully.But she quickly rejected her guess.According to her sister's temperament, she would not send herself any friendly text messages for peace, maybe it was just an order "you must return to the store before 7 pm to help".When Qin Hui took the mobile phone out of her pocket, she was a little annoyed because of this great possibility.

"It's like this every time." She murmured dissatisfied.

The mobile phone lying in her palm has a water-blue shell, a square shape, and there are traces of paint peeling off at the corners. One of the three warning lights on the flip cover will no longer be on.Even this thing is an old thing that my sister threw to her.Thinking wildly, Qin Hui opened the flip of the phone and checked the inexplicable text message.

Strangely, she hadn't pressed any buttons yet, and the content of this text message had already appeared on the small rectangular screen.

"Are you going to start, or not?"

The simple content of the text message seems to be a spam advertisement to attract people's attention. Advertisers seem to like to use this attractive way to promote their products.However, the relevant part of the program is well-designed, and there are sub-items for selection at the bottom of the screen.Qin Picture Book has no interest in this kind of information. After clicking the link, it may automatically send personal privacy information to an unknown number.

But... I don't know if the anger and unwillingness that have not dissipated have successfully ignited her rebellious psychology.She moved her thumb to the determined key by accident, and pressed it lightly.Curiosity drove her to know what kind of changes would happen after "confirmation".Of course, if she was cheated, it would be her own bad luck.

"Kotoe Shimizu, the game of determining your future has begun."

For a moment, a woman's voice that she had never heard before rang in her ears.

On the ground, there was only her shadow sitting on the swing.

Qin Hui pretended to be calm, she took out the small mirror she carried with her from her pocket, and pretended to comb her hair to check her surroundings.However, the children who were playing around and the housewives who were chatting away dispersed at some point, and she was the only one left in the small amusement park.

Who is it that is speaking in her ear?

Before finding the answer to this question, she felt another vibration on the phone.Immediately following is the second message following the confirmation procedure.The content is only two sentences short, which is a typical tone of instruction after accepting the task.

So it started, decide the future of the game?Thinking back to the woman's words, Koto painted a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth.

But...the future?What kind of future does a person like her have?

She has lost her healthy body and her important family members, and now she has lost even the dream she longed for because of various restrictions.The factors that determine the future have long been doomed in the past, so what room is there for them to be changed?

Although she thought so, when she recalled the few words her sister threw to her and the look of disdain she showed when she said these words, that recklessness and impulsiveness once again occupied her brain and occupied her consciousness.

Qin Hui slammed the flip of the phone shut and stood up from the swing.

It is precisely because of this... It is precisely because of this that she wants to see what kind of future she will have!

The cool water splashed on her face, finally clearing up her dull and clogged brain a little bit.Hastily scrubbing the traces on his face with water, he hid his embarrassment one by one along the way.Then he took out the mask from his pocket and put it on carefully.After dealing with everything briefly, she took out the mirror to look at herself again, and by doing so, the red marks on her cheeks were completely covered up.

After sorting it out, Qin Hui glanced at the instruction message received by the phone again.She had to catch the train bound for Shibuya on time.From here to the station, it takes only 5 minutes to walk.Calculating the time silently in his mind, even if he walked slowly, the time would still be enough.

Just in case, Kotoe checked the items in her pocket again.Then, she took a deep breath.After suppressing all the previous fluctuating emotions into the bottom layer of her heart, she took a step forward towards the sunset.

It is the spring of destiny that begins to surge at this moment.

The author has something to say: In fact, I... have no bottom...

I deeply feel... the sense of self-inflicted evil...
