"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

After the "group fight incident", Kimura Kouichi's name was automatically entered into the roster in Kotoe's mind.This kind of inexplicable person is not worth her attention, but she has reasons to pay attention to him.

"Good morning, Shimizu-san." When she walked into the classroom, she noticed that her Kimura-san would greet her naturally.When she first encountered this situation on the day she returned to school from the hospital, she was stunned for a moment, but gradually, she got used to using a simple nod instead of answering this daily greeting.Then, amidst the expressions of surprise, curiosity, or snickering of most of the students in the class, she silently walked to her seat, and Kimura also continued to do her own thing indifferently, as if nothing had happened to the two of them. over average.

Shimada would not foolishly come to trouble her again, so apart from this extra greeting, her life has not changed from before.When she first walked in the school corridor, someone would point at her, but in the face of time, this gossip seemed particularly insignificant.

So what happened next happened in the third semester of the first grade after the winter vacation.

It was a Friday afternoon, and the last class of Kotoe's class was music.There are two floors between the music classroom and the class, and Qin Hui's speed has always been relatively slow, and she has always been the last person to leave the music classroom.When Qin Hui returned to the classroom, she saw a group of people gathered in front of the blackboard, chattering about something.

One of the boys caught a glimpse of her entering the classroom from the corner of his eye, and suddenly turned around and yelled at her: "The heroine is finally here!" Hearing his speech, the group of people around the blackboard turned their heads and turned their eyes to Qin Hui. body.The girls spontaneously gathered in groups of three or four to snicker "hehe", while the boys kept making booing sounds.

Qin Hui didn't know, so she guessed that these people were playing some boring game again, so she decided to follow her previous habits and ignore this meaningless move.

Suddenly, someone knocked over her.Qin Hui's center of gravity was unstable and she tilted to the side, and the person who bumped into her grabbed her wrist in time. "Sorry." Kimura apologized to her in a low voice, with an inexplicable blush on his cheeks.

Qin Hui felt even more baffled.The laughter in the classroom was even louder.At that moment, Kotoe only felt that she and Kimura were like clowns in two plays, who became the laughing stock of the audience for some unknown reason.Although, she didn't know anything about why this happened. "What's the matter?" She took two steps back expressionlessly, and happened to see the boy surnamed Sato standing on the podium in a "push" posture, as if he was the one who pushed Kimura who was surrounded by the crowd. pushed onto her.Shimada stood beside Sato, maintaining a smug smile.And Bei Yuan was also in the crowd, whispering secretly with her female companion.

"Hey! Kimura! Do you like Shimizu?" Sato asked loudly, breaking the silence in the classroom.

Kotoe, like everyone in the classroom, set her eyes on Kimura, she looked innocent as if this problem had nothing to do with her at all.The boy standing beside her lowered his head, his face was blushing as if he was about to bleed, when he noticed Kotoe's gaze, Kimura opened his mouth helplessly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"What's the matter, Kimura, are you shy?!" There was another booing from the group of people in front of the classroom.And Kimura still bit his lower lip firmly - as if he would unconsciously make this action when he was suppressing his emotions, without saying a word.

Qin Hui looked back.She returned to her seat in silence, while thinking very seriously about how bad her luck was to meet this group of extremely boring classmates.

Sato, who was standing by the podium, shouted in a fuss, and finally shifted his target to Kotoe, whose expression had not changed since the beginning, "Hey, Shimizu, Kimura likes you, don't you have any reaction?" The girl's performance is always Unexpectedly, the attitude of not having anything to do with them now made them, the group of people who were waiting to see the good show, show a little impatient expression.

"Even so, what does that have to do with me? Idiot, boring." Koto replied impatiently, then glanced at the clock hanging on the blackboard, still thinking about helping her sister if she didn't come home on time. To train her.And when her target moved to the blackboard through the crowd, Kotoe noticed that something seemed to be drawn on the blackboard.

"You..." Sato rushed forward impulsively, but Shimada grabbed his arm.

"This is just a matter between Kimura-kun and Shimizu-san." At this moment, Kitahara smiled and said to the crowd who wanted to watch the fun, and then she blinked at Kotoe "understanding" , "Student Shimizu, we already know, there is no need for you to feel embarrassed." Then she deliberately moved to the side, so that the picture drawn on the blackboard came into Kotoe's sight.

An umbrella is drawn with white chalk on the blackboard, and Kimura Kouichi and her name are written on the left and right of the umbrella handle.

"That's it?" Qin Hui pointed to the chalk drawing on the blackboard and asked Kimura who was closest to her.

The boy nodded hastily, but didn't dare to meet her eyes.

"Heh." Unexpectedly, it would be such a thing that would delay her, Qin Hui smiled angrily, "It's really boring."

She immediately let go of the schoolbag strap in her hand, and walked to the podium in a few steps.Picking up the chalk in the box, Kotoe drew the exact same umbrella with white chalk next to the unclear picture, but on both sides, Kotoe deliberately wrote the names of Shimada and Sato.While she was writing with chalk, the whole class suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on the chalk in Kotoe's hand.

After writing the last stroke, Kotoe spread her hand easily, "Hey, Shimada," she imitated Sato's tone of voice to her before, "Sato likes you, shouldn't you react?!" Although she herself didn't understand what the so-called "like" refers to, she still repeated Sato's words verbatim.

"You bastard!" Sato blushed, and he was so angry that he wanted to rush forward, but Shimada stopped him.

"Ah, don't you think that's enough?" Kotoe intentionally misinterpreted Sato's meaning, she turned her head and continued to write Kitahara's name on the handle of the umbrella, "That's all right? "She threw the chalk into the box, "You three, just do this! Let's meet! Congratulations! Happy! Let's go!" Leaving these words expressionless, Kotoe clapped the chalk dust in her hands, and then said to herself Gu picked up his schoolbag, scarf and winter coat, and walked out of the classroom slowly.

"Student Qingshui!" Qin Hui had already reached the school gate when she heard someone calling her name.She turned her head and saw Kimura running towards her with his schoolbag on his back.

"What's the matter?" The farce that was staged just now was completely unreasonable in her eyes, and it wasted a lot of her time.So now she just wants to go home as soon as possible, so Kotoe still shows an impatient attitude towards Kimura who is also reduced to "target".

"Student Beiyuan is crying." Kimura said lightly.In exactly the same situation as before, he seemed to have completely ignored Qin Hui's deliberate anxiety at the moment.

Qin Hui stared at him, "What else?" She asked angrily.He wanted to tell her just such insignificant things?

Kimura suddenly smiled, and there was still a faint blush on his face that hadn't faded before: "Thank you." Repeating the past scene again, he solemnly thanked her.

After listening to Qin Hui, she turned her head and left.

After walking for a while on the way home, Kotoe quickly realized something was wrong.She turned her head to look at the circular reflector standing at the intersection.Not far behind her, the boy with a black schoolbag and a baseball cap looked familiar.After a while, the red light on the other side of the road changed to green. Qin Hui decided to pretend that she didn't see the familiar figure following her, but she unconsciously accelerated her pace.

However, when she was about to reach home, the shadow behind her was still following her not far away at an unhurried pace.

Qin Hui couldn't bear it.She turned around abruptly, and yelled at the boy who had been following her all the time: "What are you following me for? What else can't be said at once..." Before she finished speaking, the remaining half of Qin Hui's voice was awkward stuck in the throat.She stared at Kimura Kouichi who had turned into an apartment not far away.

The other party was also stunned by her sudden roar.He looked suspiciously at Kotoe who was standing there with a flushed face.She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, as if doing so would reduce her embarrassment.Then, Kimura Teru narrowed his eyes and laughed softly.He raised his hand and pointed to the apartment: "Student Qingshui, my family lives here." He seemed to be trying to hide it, but there was still a deep smile in his voice.

Qin Hui wanted to bury her face completely in the scarf.She didn't intend to look in Kimura's direction anymore, she just wanted to leave here as fast as she could, and completely and completely forget about this matter as quickly as she could.

Qin Hui lowered her head and walked quickly all the way home.Going around into the house through the back door, she greeted her sister and walked quickly through the corridor, thinking about how to hide herself.

"Qin Hui!" When she hurried up the stairs, she saw Wu Hui's elder sister who was still holding a ballpoint pen poking her head out from the wall, "Then...is that your friend?" She raised a question uncertainly. He raised his eyebrows sideways, and looked at his younger sister who was a whole round behind his own age with some doubts and some curiosity.As an elder sister, she knows Qin Hui's character very well. It is not easy to have a good relationship with her classmates in school, let alone have "friends" who can come to visit.

"...friend?!" Koto stepped down the stairs in a few steps. When she walked through the corridor to the front hall that was converted into a restaurant, she saw a boy with a black backpack observing the unique style of the house in surprise. Decoration, "You...!" She stared at Kimura Keiichi, the blush that had finally faded climbed onto her cheeks again.It's a pity that she only had time to utter one word before she was slapped hard on the head by Wue: "What 'you'! Have you forgotten all about politeness?"

From Kotoe's expression, Wue had already noticed something, she walked in front of the boy, and smiled politely at him: "It's really strange, are you Xiaoqin's friend?"

"Don't call me that! You're not a child anymore!" Kotoe protested loudly standing where she was.

If you are not a child at the age of seven, how can you be considered a child? !

Wue turned a deaf ear to Kotoe's protest. She raised her hand to her chest, and introduced herself to the other party, "I am Shimizu Wue, and I am Xiaoqin's older sister." The smile on the face is beautiful and gentle.

Kimura was stunned for a moment, and then bowed politely: "It's our first meeting, I'm Kimura Kouichi." He glanced at Kotoe's direction with smiling eyes, and then continued, "I, and Shimizu-san is in the same class, a classmate."

The girl in a coma frowned slightly, perhaps dreaming of something disturbing, she muttered indistinctly, repeating ravings that no one could understand.

A black figure stood beside her like a shadow, watching her silently.When he noticed the familiar painful expression on the girl's face, he almost subconsciously moved his eyes to the girl's pocket.

Her medicine is in the bag.After using the potion, she should be lifted up so that she can breathe heavily.In the event of a worse situation, she has the doctor's number stored in her mobile phone.

The steps come to mind naturally, almost instinctively, with little need for recall.

"... Kotoe." Diablo Beast silently recited the name, and suddenly raised his hand to hold his forehead.In the depths of memory, a familiar voice sounded vaguely.

"There will be a separation one day." At that time, the girl turned her back to him, and tiptoed to reach the book that could not be obtained from a high place. "No matter what the current situation is, the ending is always the same. From meeting to parting, Didn't the end result leave this world alone?!"

He couldn't remember why their conversation was diverted to this aspect that day, he only felt that the girl spoke smoothly as if she had repeated this sentence tens of thousands of times in her heart.

"Are we the same?" He tentatively asked his anxiety, stepped forward to help the girl take the book she wanted from the shelf, and handed it to her.

"Ah, thank you." The girl took it with both hands, and opened the pages to check the contents, "...that's for sure." Her fingers stopped on the title page stiffly, and the girl seemed to turn her eyes away unconsciously, but answered There was hardly any hesitation at the time, "After the spring break, I will be in the fifth grade. In another year, I will go to a different junior high school. It will be much easier for you, won't it?" The future is an understatement, and no emotional fluctuations can be heard from her tone of voice.

He sighed silently in his heart.It won't be long before she needs him anymore.She would choose to leave without looking back.After leaving him, there will be another person to take his place, caring about her body like him, and guarding against all the "prohibited" matters... As long as he thinks that such a situation will happen, he will decide on his own Can no longer maintain a calm mood.

At that moment, she would choose to betray without nostalgia.Betrayal belongs to the "only" friendship between them.

traitor.

"Qin Hui." He called softly.

"What?" The girl looked up at him, her expressionless face was clearly reflected in his eyes.

And the girl with the same face was lying in front of him, falling into a deep nightmare.

"Betrayer." The Dark Beast muttered the word in a low voice, and the blood-red long sword Blut Evoluzione appeared in its right hand again.Then, facing Qine's direction, he raised it high.

The author has something to say:
