"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

Cherubim be damned.

Because he actually casually revealed the secret in his heart that he had been hiding in front of everyone.

Deep, dark, secrets that frighten even himself.

Kimura Teruichi himself doesn't remember exactly when his feelings for Kotoe have completely changed into what he didn't expect.After all, at the beginning, his impression of "Student Shimizu" was nothing more than a sympathetic fellow who was abandoned by his family.

The first time he had an impression of his classmate Kiyomizu Kotoe was the open day of the first grade.

He was standing alone in the crowd when other classmates were smiling and leading their family members to ask about their performance and ask for praise.Joyful laughter continued to be heard from all directions, falling into his ears and turning into harsh noises.He looked at the joyful expressions on those familiar but annoying faces, but he was unwilling to curse his fate.

He lives in an imperfect family.The only relatives are the mother who is running around for daily livelihood and the elderly and frail grandmother.For example, today, even if it is an open day at the school, my mother still has to be busy with work and cannot spare time.Although he understood this, he still couldn't hide his loss.

Until he saw the short-haired girl with a bright red schoolbag passing by him expressionlessly.She didn't seem to care about the annoying hustle and bustle around her at all, but her lonely back was so out of place in the lively environment.

The smiling faces gradually turned into a blurred background, and the girl alone became the only clear protagonist in his vision.

In an instant, the negative emotions that kept popping up in my heart dissipated a bit in an instant, and instead there was a little more malicious gloating.

Look, it turns out that there are still people in this world who are just like him.

In fact, he had known for a long time that Qin Hui and him were not the same kind of people at all.

As long as you penetrate the frozen exterior, you can feel the warmth from her heart, which makes people feel nostalgic.

And in his heart there is only a demon who symbolizes darkness and is full of exclusive desires.

Keiichi stood where he was, looking down at the girl who was curled up and panting violently.The cold plastic bottle was held in his palm, so light that he couldn't even feel the weight.At that moment, he only felt at a loss, not knowing what he was doing.

No one knew better than him how easy it was to kill her.There were so many times when the inner demon whispered evilly in his ear: "Since you can't get it, it's better to destroy her completely."

But in the end, he couldn't do it.

He almost succeeded, if he stood like a puppet for a few more minutes.

Pleasure and fear were constantly entangled in his heart, tearing at his few remaining clear minds.In the end, fear still prevailed, and the plastic bottle, which was originally weightless, instantly sank like a thousand catties.Regret burned my heart, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a self-destructive relief.

It's good for her to know.he thought desperately.

But what kind of expression will she show after knowing the darkness hidden in his heart?

anger?fear?Or disgust?

He has rarely seen these extreme negative emotions on the piano picture, so just imagining such a scene, he almost laughed out loud.But Keiichi didn't pay attention at all, the fingers hanging by his side were trembling all the time.

Qin Hui knelt on the ground, breathing heavily to smooth out the rapid panting.Because of the suffocation, her memory of a moment ago was blurred, but Keichi's words really fell into her ears.

At that time, she looked at the young man in front of her with eyes wide open, she was relieved for no reason, and forced a smile.

If he still did this, then she was relieved.

She thought so blankly, but found that the cool medicine entered her lungs little by little with her breath.The hand holding the passage of life was sent away, but she was still in a weak state. She could only kneel on the ground and look up at the boy standing near her.

All she saw was that smile.There is no more tenderness, only a sad smile remains.

Kotoe took a few deep breaths again.When she was sure that she had temporarily regained her strength, she supported the ground with her hands and stood up slowly.She didn't look up, but she could feel the eyes continuously falling on her.Then, dragging her heavy body, she walked forward step by step.

Huiyi watched Kotoe walking towards him slowly.She lowered her head, as if consciously avoiding her gaze.He raised the corner of his mouth with difficulty and forced himself to look away, but he still couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart.

until.

Huiyi suddenly felt his shoulders sink.

He turned his head in disbelief, only seeing the top of the girl's fluffy hair.The short straight hair slipped down as she lowered her head, revealing a slender and fair neck.Then, he even felt the other person's arms gently encircling his body, allowing himself to rest most of his body weight on him.

The numb body was gradually thawing, and he could feel the warmth in a trance, but it was his extreme nostalgia.

"Huiyi..." Kotoe's voice was weak and weak, "You are really a gentle fool." She seemed to have lost the strength to speak a complete sentence, and her mouth was full of inexplicable broken words murmur.

Huiyi just wanted to refute, but she heard her say again: "...I finally made up my mind, I know that I will have nothing if I choose this way...but why do you want to come back." It's not a question The sentence pattern is more of a self-report in a state of being at a loss.The hands embracing him reluctantly clenched the fabric in their palms, as if they couldn't find any other way to vent their emotions.

No one knows how painful it is to lose something after gaining it.

In the middle of the night, when she woke up from her sleep due to chest tightness, she couldn't help but recall the days when she was no different from normal people in the Digimon world.There is never a more acute awareness of one's own powerlessness as a sick person than at such a time.After Takuya and the others came back from the Digimon world, they all changed and grew up.Only myself, some shortcomings can never be made up.

She tried to convince herself with the reason of "a good dream".However, the beauty of the dream sets off the desolation of reality.

As for the dream or something, it became insignificant at that moment.

"Perhaps what you said is right." Her low voice pierced his heart precisely like a needle, "It's better to just die like this. I won't cause trouble to anyone anymore."

Unknowingly, Kotoe let go of her hand.She took a step back, increasing the distance between the two of them.It's just that during this process, she still kept her head down and didn't meet his sight.

This is completely different from what he expected.

It's just that she may not understand at all.

Keiichi suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Kotoe's hand, and then exerted force on his arm again, pulling the girl with a startled expression into his arms.This time, his hands were no longer hanging stiffly by his side, but tightly wrapped around the other's shoulders, as if doing so could stop her from leaving.

He didn't want to, every hug was just for parting.

"Qin Hui, have you misunderstood something?" Every single sound in his mouth seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, but he still couldn't hide the uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

Kotoe laughed softly, but her voice was muffled because her face was buried in her clothes.

"Don't you understand?" For some reason, he also laughed along with her, "Even if you choose the road of 'death', you can't leave me behind." He intentionally leaned into her ear, whispering dreamily , "Anyway, I've already 'died' once."

His words finally had an effect.Because this time, he successfully felt the stiffness of the person in his arms.

"...you're crazy!" She seemed to want to break free from him, but finally found that her movements were nothing compared to the strength of his arm, "How can you say such irresponsible words! What am I worth, how can I be worth it to you...!"

"Heh, heh," unexpectedly, after hearing what she said, Huiyi laughed again, "Then why are you leaving me behind?" Such an answer is needed.

Kotoe's movements stopped.Originally, he wanted to push his hand away, but in the end he just put it lightly on his arm.

At that moment, she felt in a trance that all the hustle and bustle in the world had completely disappeared, leaving only the boy's passive and numb whispers, gently stroking the pinna along with his breathing.

"It's been like this since I was a child. Dad left us, and my mother-in-law left not long ago, and now even you...why, why are you all able to make such a decision so easily?"

As long as he closes his eyes, the phantoms presented to him by the cherubimon will flash across his vision frame by frame like a movie.No, to him it was not just an illusion, but the deepest fear hidden in his heart.

His voice was no longer trembling, and even the emotions accumulated in his voice faded layer by layer.However, his calm made Qin Hui suddenly flustered. "It's not like this," she argued weakly, but found that she couldn't find the right words at all, "I just..." Qin Hui remembered something, but this reason made her heart ache again, "You And Kouji, isn't he? He is your twin brother, he will never..."

"It has nothing to do with Kouji!" Huiichi interrupted her suddenly, raising his voice.This was the first time today that there was such obvious emotional fluctuation in his voice, "Even if it's Kouji, he..." He paused unnaturally for a moment, and his tone was tinged with joy , "Kinto, haven't you noticed?"

"Notice...?" Qin Hui murmured subconsciously, and many fragments flashed in her mind instantly.

And after piecing together some of the details she had missed, it was an obvious reminder.

"The piece of paper with the address in the math homework book," Kotoshi closed her eyes, "you let me find out on purpose. You let me know about Kouji on purpose, right?"

"In the beginning, I just didn't know how to tell you this," Keichi finally let go of his arms around her shoulders, but one hand was still firmly grasping her shoulders, and then he used the other Gently stroking the messy bangs on her forehead, just to see the color of her eyes under the moonlight, "I have thought about how Qin Hui will react when she finds out that I have a twin brother? "

"How did this become the reason for you to want to leave?" Because Xu stood with his back to the light, the deep blue under his eyes completely disappeared, and instead became a layer of ink-like trance black. There was a hint of helplessness in his words.

Qin Hui shook her head in pain.At this moment, she wanted to escape Hui Yi's pressing gaze, but her eyes seemed to be attracted by the darkness at the bottom of his eyes, and she couldn't look away anymore.

"So what if Kouji is my twin brother? Kotoe is the only one who has been with me all these years..."

"At least this is the same. To me, you are also the 'only'..." His eyes suddenly darkened, and he still didn't say the answer that had deteriorated, leaving only an unclear message. white.

"Well, but it doesn't matter what happens now." His cold fingers slowly slid down the lines of her face, and he traced the familiar outline with his fingertips, "No matter what happens, I won't let you Those who leave Kotoe's side will not have any "destined separation" ending."

"Even if it's death, it's impossible." The corners of his mouth curved wildly, his eyes were dark, and he could clearly catch the disturbing red light in it.

There is nothing to hide anymore.Just like the attributes given to him by the Digimon world, he belongs to darkness after all.

Suddenly, even without warning, his fingertips froze at a certain point.The warm touch gradually smudges from the place where the fingers touch. "Kotoe...?" The out-of-focus eyes gradually regained their brilliance, and the wetness felt by his fingers reminded him that this was not an illusion.

The girl's light gray eyes reflected the traces of the moonlight, as if floating in a sparkling lake.Transparent tears slipped from her eyes, accidentally brushing his finger resting on her cheek.Her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single syllable.

As if with great effort, Kotoe slowly raised her hand and grabbed his fingers.

The boy didn't say anything, just let her move.

Kotoe grabbed his hand and covered it in front of her eyes.Maybe the moment she blinked, she could clearly feel the shape of the tears after they fell, rolling between his fingers like nothing.

"Idiot." She suppressed the sobs in her voice, and uttered a few intermittent syllables tremblingly, "Are you...what are you afraid of? The one you should be afraid of is clearly... clearly me."

"But," the fingers holding him tightened in vain, and the corners of her lips slowly curved slightly, "Is it okay if I don't let go now?"

The unnecessary negative emotions were gradually disappearing, and her words made him want to laugh out loud.

"Yes." Soft emotions flowed out from between the sentences unconsciously, filling her heart warmly, "I just want you to do this."

"Then." She clasped the hand in her palm even harder, and said seriously, "I won't say that kind of thing again; you, you can never leave my side again, Kouichi."

"As you said, you will stay by my side, even 'tomorrow'..."

He said it then, didn't he?After all, "tomorrow" is a never-ending answer.

The author has something to say: the subtext of both of them is "If you dare to leave me, I will kill you", um.I really can't find a place to point this sentence, and I am also quite failed.

The brain cells I wrote in this paragraph are almost dead, so I guess there is no logic at all. By the way, the word count obsessive-compulsive disorder is really dying. Basically, I can write this word count for a conversation between two people. Like toothpaste, it was squeezed out sentence by sentence... so emotional scenes are the most annoying (.

However, Nissan did not turn black as I expected, but it’s okay (pat my heart)

Speaking of it, I feel that in the background of DM, especially in the background of DF, the issue of life and death can’t be serious. I don’t know why, maybe I can’t find this feeling myself OTZ

Okay, it feels like the biggest hurdle is over (Lie flat

In the end, I just hope you don't scold me.

☆, Final Chapter: Another Beginning

At the age of 26, Shimizu Wue finally reluctantly agreed to Dr. Aonuma's marriage proposal and married herself.

But after finally making all the preparations, when the ceremony was about an hour away, another big mistake happened: the bridesmaid of the wedding, the bride's only biological sister, disappeared at this juncture!

"Really, I don't know where I went at a time like this! How big a person is, why is there no sense at all!"

Huiyi smiled wryly and listened to Miss Wue's angry roar on the other end of the phone, and at the end promised repeatedly that she would bring Kotoe back in time, which barely calmed down Miss Wue's irritable mood.After finishing the call, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then turned his eyes to the distance, the back standing straight in front of the tombstone.

In fact, Miss Wue must know that she came to this place.

Thinking of this, Huiyi deliberately slowed down and walked towards Kotoe's direction.

He had never heard Kotoe mention anything about Qingshui's family, but he knew something about it through the gossiping mothers-in-law in the community.After all, back then, it was considered a matter of considerable discussion.

When Shimizu's parents went, Kirie was 16 years old and Kotoe was [-] years old.The cause of death of the couple was a car accident.It is said that because the speed of the car was too fast, the vehicle on the opposite side was not noticed when turning on the mountain road, and finally fell off the cliff with the car.His father, Shimizu Jue, died on the spot, while his mother, Shimizu Itsuki, died of excessive bleeding after being sent to the hospital.

On the surface, this was just an ordinary traffic accident, but it was Kotoe who caused Shimizu and his wife to drive too fast.She had an asthma attack while playing with other children in the community.Those children ran away in fear, so that she was delayed for nearly 10 minutes when she was sent to the hospital, but fortunately, the last life was saved.It's just that when she woke up from the long coma, what she faced was the sad news of her parents' death.

It was clearly just an accident and a coincidence, but the original appearance of the truth was distorted by an outsider with a single mouth.And the psychological burden on the two sisters is even more unimaginable to outsiders.

"My sister has already been here." He didn't make too much noise when he approached, but Kotoe still felt his presence and said softly.

Huiyi walked to Qin Hui's side, closed his eyes to the tombstone and saluted with clasped hands.He noticed that two bouquets of pure white lilies had been placed neatly in front of the tombstone, and the petals on one of the bouquets still had crystal drops of water.

"Mom likes Lily the most," Qin Hui explained to him with a faint smile, "but this is what my sister told me."

"Miss Wue is very worried about you." When mentioning this matter, Huiyi still felt a little helpless, "Anyway, today is a very important day for her." After saying that, he raised his hand and straightened Li Kotoe Some messy bangs.

The 14-year-old girl has grown a lot taller than before, but she is still nearly half a head shorter than him.The slightly long black hair was forced into a bun and tied behind her head, revealing her fair and slender neck.The dress is still in the color of sapphire blue, so it looks so eye-catching in this scene where black, white and gray are the main colors.

"Is there no way?" Qin Hui curled her lips, but did not avoid his movements.When she turned her gaze to the two Chinese characters "Qingshui" engraved on the stele again, her light gray eyes were a little more lonely, "After today, my sister will change her surname.

"So I came up with a whim and wanted to take a look."

Huiyi didn't say much, but quietly held her cold hand tightly.

"I had a very strange dream last night." Qin Hui still looked at the tombstone, whispering.

The boy standing beside her showed a puzzled expression, but still quietly waited for her to speak.

"It seems to be back when I was 11 years old, back to the Digimon world."

Kotoe had recounted to him what Vulcan said at that time, so he had some understanding of the existence of barriers between different worlds.After all, in the next three years, no matter how many times I passed by Shibuya Station, I never had any incredible encounters with it.I would hear Takuya mention it to them at the party, and I always felt that the half a year spent in the Digimon world was like a dream, but it was so real that people could not doubt it.

"I don't know exactly where it is because it's just dark."

"Then I met Kouichi."

Qin Hui closed her eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene in her dream.

"Kuichi, it's like that time." When saying the word "that time", Kotoe still showed a sad expression, "It's translucent, floating in the air."

Huiyi's eyes darkened.This is not a good memory for them, so they will try to avoid talking about it.He never expected that after three years, such a scene would still appear in Kotoe's dream.

However, at the next moment, a faint smile appeared on Qin Hui's face, "But when I reached out, I met you." Saying that, Qin Hui turned her head to look at him.Listening to her words, it's like completely mixing reality and dreams.

"It's just," she said, but she fell into confusion, "In that dream, you didn't seem to know me at all, and you asked questions like 'who are you'. In fact, in that dream, the Hui couple To me, it seems like it’s just a stranger, I clearly have a friendly feeling, but I know it’s just a stranger I met for the first time.”

"Then, what was your answer at that time?" Hui Yi knew that it didn't matter at all, but he still couldn't help asking.

Qin Hui thought about it carefully for a while, "...I don't remember."

She was a little surprised that she was able to completely recall the scene in the dream, and even clearly restored every detail before.It's just that the coherent dream has become a blurred fragment since that moment. She knows what happened after that, but she can't remember it anyway.

"That should be just a dream." Huiyi held her hand tightly, "Dreams are the opposite of reality."

"I think so." Qin Hui bent her lips comfortably, "Then, let's go, or my sister will really explode." Saying this, she finally glanced at the direction of the tombstone, and said in a low voice, " See you next time, Mom and Dad."

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have heard you talk about the Digimon world. Sure enough, I still feel..."

"What about you? It must have been hard at that time, right?" Seeing her expression, he had no choice but to add, "Because Koizumi told me everything before arriving at the Dark Continent."

"Oh, Koizumi really..."

"So, what's your answer?"

"Well..." She thought seriously for a while, "I don't know either. I don't feel very happy, but I don't feel sad because of the bad experience. I can only say that I don't feel regretful. Probably , the influence of the Digimon world on me is different from Takuya and the others, right?...Wait, obviously I am asking you."

"Because, my answer is the same as yours. If you insist on making a choice, maybe the current situation is better."

She was keenly aware that when she said this sentence, the hand holding her was a little harder.

If we want to say that every story begins with a miraculous encounter, then the story about them begins before that miraculous encounter.

Then as long as you hold on to the other person's hand and walk on like this, that's enough.

-THAN-

The author has something to say: the text is over.There are extras in the back.

Always forgot to release it.Thank you Huizisang, that is, the character design of the Qin painting that Huizi Rabbit Children's Shoes helped us~

Huh?What do you mean by sight?We didn't hear it~(???)

☆, extra episode [-]: gray and white memory

After a day of rain, it finally stopped in the evening.

Qin Hui dug out the black dress at the bottom of the box from the closet, and added a long-sleeved coat to herself after glancing at the gloomy weather outside the window.The figure of the girl is reflected in the floor-to-ceiling mirror beside her, her short hair is softly attached to her cheeks; the pure black material fits the skin on her body as if bound; a pair of slender legs are exposed under the knee-length skirt .The whole body of black dress combined with the girl's pale complexion and stiff expression at the moment, always felt a little eerie and weird.

Qin Hui habitually wanted to use her fingers to straighten her hair, but she stretched her hand halfway and then dropped it silently.

Hearing sister Wuhui's impatience urging a few times outside the door, Qinhui looked away from the mirror, responded lazily, and slowly walked out of the room.

Sister Kirie is also wearing a black formal attire.She bent down slightly to check Kotoe's outfit, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she stretched out her hand to straighten her messy hair while changing clothes.Qin Hui saw that she took out a black hairpin from nowhere, and clipped her bangs that were casually hanging on her forehead to one side.

"Okay." After finishing all this, Kirie let out a soft breath, "Relax. It's over."

Koto nodded slightly.She knew that sister Wue's words were not only telling her, but also persuading herself.

"He must be feeling bad too." Seeing that Qin Hui didn't speak, Wu Hui added another sentence.

"I know." Until then, Qin Hui whispered.

It was the end of March when Grandma Kimura went.

Huiyi called her in the middle of the night. It is said that her mother-in-law went there in a dream, and her face was peaceful when she left.Upon hearing the news, Qin E was stunned for a moment, and the unexpectedly calm voice of the boy on the other end of the receiver wafted by her ears, and she fell into a trance instead.After the drowsiness completely dissipated, she suddenly remembered that just a few days ago, her mother-in-law happily mentioned that after she was discharged from the hospital, she would go to the park to see this year's cherry blossoms.

"I deliberately delayed the flowering period, just waiting for my old lady to be discharged from the hospital." I still remember that Grandma Kimura squinted her eyes and looked out of the window cheerfully, as if she had already seen the cloud-like pink color.

Although this year's flowering period is later than in previous years, my mother-in-law just had time to see some flower buds, so she left this world.

That night, after Qin Hui put down the receiver, she stood blankly in the corridor.When Kirie poked her head out of the room and asked her what was wrong, she just shook her head and went back to her room.The next morning, when her sister also heard the news and confirmed the situation with her, she accepted the reality that her mother-in-law had gone.

"Kotoe!"

When Qin Hui came back to her senses, she saw Wu Hui's sister standing aside and gently pushing her shoulder.Only then did she notice that Aunt Kimura was standing in front of her.The same serious black formal suit, but with a more tired look on his face. "Xiaoqinhui is here," she didn't smile until she saw Qinhui.Then she turned her head and whispered to the boy standing behind her, "Kuichi, take Kotoe to burn incense for mother-in-law."

The boy she was familiar with stood behind her mother, barely bent the corners of his mouth when he met Kotoe's gaze.

Qin Hui unconsciously glanced at the black and white photo of Grandma Mucun in the center of the mourning hall, and naturally lowered her eyelashes to hide her emotions when she looked away, "Please mourn." She bowed and said softly.

The customary process is soon over.Sister Wue led her away from the mourning hall, but she was quickly surrounded by several neighbors' three aunts and six wives, suppressing her impatience and smilingly catering to their "kind" greetings.Seeing that her sister had no time to take care of herself, Qin Hui obediently returned to the room, randomly picked a seat in the back row and sat down.

She doesn't like this kind of occasion, and similar scenes always bring her back to the summer when she was four years old.She was contacted by the hospital while still hanging on the bottle, and the layout of the home was changed to a depressing black and white.The torment of illness has not gone away, but he has to be forced to accept the reality that his parents have passed away.It was even more difficult for her to imagine how elder sister Wue spent that nightmarish week. Everyone who came to express their condolences never spared their sympathetic eyes, and the neighbors' mothers-in-law and mothers never stopped talking about all the gossip about their Qingshui home. : The excellent eldest daughter, and the oily second daughter.

Qin Hui's face turned pale.These memories always make her mood fluctuate greatly.She noticed that her breathing had become a little short, and hurriedly found the spray from the small bag that she carried.Under the effects of the medicine, she took a few deep breaths, waiting for the originally blocked breathing passage to gradually unblock.

After this wave of seizures passed, she leaned weakly on the back of the chair, feeling only melancholy in her heart.

When she opened her eyes again, she unexpectedly caught Keiichi's worried gaze.

He stood quietly behind his mother, bowed to every guest who came to express his condolences, and politely expressed his gratitude to them.Whether it is those distant relatives who have never met and are pretending at this time, or the mother's colleagues who are alienated, or the neighbors who are holding Aunt Kimura's hand and chattering constantly, he can tell at the right moment. Speak at the right time and make the right facial expression.Coupled with his gloomy black suit.Such a mature and stable appearance is not at all like the Kimura Keiichi she knew.

Qin Huaben thought that he deliberately turned his back and successfully covered up his untimely illness, but he didn't expect that he still saw his abnormality.

Then she saw Keiichi whispering something to Aunt Kimura.After getting permission, he walked slowly towards her along the narrow side aisle.

"Is it all right?" While showing some concern, he completely took off the mask he had disguised before, showing her familiar gentle gesture, "It's still a bit boring here, do you want me to accompany you out for a walk?" After some time, Huiyi quickly remembered another problem, "But it's still a bit cold outside at night, I brought a thick coat..."

Qin Hui raised her hand, interrupting the chatter that he deliberately lowered her voice. "I'm fine. Just sit down for a while. It's you," she looked in Aunt Kimura's direction again, "If you leave at this time, Auntie will have a hard time." Looking at Aunt Kimura's exhausted appearance in front of her, She once again remembered the reluctant expression on her sister's face when she was struggling to resist everything.

"It's okay. We were the last guests just now. Mom can also take a little rest." Huiyi sat beside her, watching the back of his mother sitting on the first row of chairs, with deep eyes, wondering something.

"Huiyi?" Seeing that his expression was a bit strange, and there was a hint of cruelty in his expression, Kotoe couldn't help calling him in a low voice.

"Ah..." Huiyi was brought back to his senses by Kotoe, he looked away uneasily, raised his hand and patted his cheek.

"Don't work too hard now, you'll have to stay up late tonight." Seeing his appearance, Qin Hui couldn't help but mention it.

"Well, I'm sensible." Huiyi smiled softly, with the same expression as before, as if the coldness that Kotoe glimpsed leaking from his eyes just now was just her hallucination.Just bringing up this topic, Huiyi suddenly thought of something, "Kotoe, actually you don't need to participate in the night watch. Anyway, there is a room for resting here, your body..." Noticed that Kotoe's expression became displeased He closed his mouth properly and didn't continue talking.

"However," she knew that Huiyi had good intentions, but she still didn't like people always using "body" as an excuse to restrict her behavior, "how can I sleep alone." She curled the corner of her mouth bitterly, "this It's the last time, do something for my mother-in-law."

the last time.

Hearing this word, Kouichi also fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, he said in a sleepy voice: "Qin Hui, tell me, why do people die?"

Kotoe was stunned by Huiyi's question for a moment, "Because..." She murmured, but didn't know what answer to give.She always felt that Huiyi was very strange today, but she couldn't tell what was strange about him.

Huiyi didn't seem to notice her confusion and hesitation at all, and continued to ask himself: "Could it be that all the first encounters were for this last moment of parting?"

"Probably, that's it." Qin Hui lowered her head.She stared at the small black bag on her lap, and a heavy emotion weighed on her heart again.No matter what kind of encounter, it will end in the end of parting.Even if she and Huiyi have such an intimate relationship, they will definitely part ways in the end.

Kotoe kept her head down, so she didn't notice the deep sadness in the eyes of the boy sitting beside her watching her.

As soon as the morning breeze blows, the drowsiness is dispelled a lot.

The host of the monastery arrived at the venue very early, and after another ceremony, the coffin of the mother-in-law was sent to the car of the crematorium.

A final farewell is held at the crematorium.Qin Hui stared at her mother-in-law lying in the coffin with a peaceful expression, still a little unwilling to believe that this was the last time she saw this kind and gentle old man.The mother-in-law's body wrapped in the shroud was terrifyingly thin, but her face was as calm as she remembered.At this time, all kinds of memories about the past flooded her mind unconsciously, reminding her once again of the warmth she had felt from the old man in the past.At this point, Qin Hui turned her head and quietly wiped away the mist in front of her eyes with the back of her hand.

Aunt Kimura's eye sockets
