[Net King] It's just that the butterfly doesn't want to

When Kirihara Chiya found the girl, she was standing under a tree in a daze.

"Hey?"

He carried the box that he had finally found and contained the puzzle pieces into the shadow of the trees, "What's wrong with you?"

"……Um?"

"Looks out of his mind."

"Have it?"

Ogata Yui withdrew his gaze from the distance, landed on the boy, and paused slightly, "...Kirihara, why are you here?"

Kirihara Chiya was covered in dead leaves and dirt, and his white shirt was stained with dust, like a monkey rolling a few times in the mud. If the seniors in the department saw it, they would definitely be caught and taught a lesson G.

He reached out to scratch his face, but his hands were also dirty, so he had to put them down in embarrassment.

"That... that's that... Didn't I kick over your things before?" The boy who is not used to apologizing, his eyes gradually drifted away, "You are fighting for this thing, I went to pick it up."

Ogata Wei slightly widened his eyes, "Pick it up?"

It was already dark, and the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle looked even smaller and pitiful near the woods. She realized with belatedness why Kirihara Chi was in such a mess.For a moment, there was a kind of speechless not knowing what to say.

This silent atmosphere made Kirihara Chi feel impatient, and put the box into the girl's hand.

"Give you!!"

The boy's eyes were slightly raised, and when he didn't make an expression, he could actually see some ferocious arrogance.But at this moment, all the evil intentions were suppressed in his piercing eyes, and the people he watched could clearly feel the youth's sincerity and undeniable kindness.

Yui Ogata found an empty classroom.

Crowds of people gathered in the square, and there was almost no one in the teaching building that had been closed.

Under the faint light from the window, she opened the box.

The jigsaw puzzle inside is still half intact and half incomplete.She picked up the pieces, and patiently restarted the puzzle out of not disappointing Kirihara's good intentions and the slightest request for unknown memories.Kirihara Chi also pulled a chair, and sat opposite her, wiping his hands with a wet tissue, thinking about the lively bonfire party in his mind, but kept his eyes on her movements without moving away.

He looked at it for a while, and gradually realized something, and a trace of loss that he didn't realize appeared on his face.

——Even though he has worked very hard to find the puzzle pieces scattered on the ground, it seems that the pieces in the box are still incomplete.

—she couldn't complete the puzzle.

Even though Ogata Yui still kept his expression unchanged and didn't care, but as time passed, the boy couldn't bear this reality more and more. He suddenly pushed away the chair and stood up, making a sharp sound on the floor.

The girl froze for a moment and stopped what she was doing.

"...I'm sorry." Kirihara Chiya said in a low voice after being relatively silent for a moment.

Surprised that the boy would apologize, the girl gave him a strange look.Kirihara Chiya still looked messed up, his eyes and brows were slumped, and he stood stiffly in front of her.

A bonfire was lit in the distance.

The fireworks that soared into the sky covered the surrounding area with a layer of light red tulle.

The flickering light illuminated the dark corners of the classroom, but it couldn't brighten the boy's mood.

The single-celled boy who had always been carefree and heartless lowered his head quietly. No matter how lively the outside was, it was rare that he didn't pay attention to it. The figure standing there alone seemed a bit aggrieved.

This sense of contrast softened her heart.

Ogata Yui looked back at the jigsaw puzzle that was missing materials and could not be restored, feeling a little delicate. This box carrying a certain story seemed to be a metaphor for the fragmentary memories in her mind, which were difficult to retrieve and could not be pieced together.

"I always seem to be like this..." Kirihara Chiya said sullenly, "I always mess up your things."

Under the orange-red light, he showed a sad and sincere expression.

"But I don't want that."

Ogata was the only one startled.

His eyes lowered slightly, and fell on the young man's hand tightly clutching the wet towel, and his brows frowned.She moved closer to the boy. If it was normal, this distance would be enough to make Kirihara Chiya blush, react violently and bounce away, and then angrily warn her not to come over.But today, he just hangs his head down and lets the hostess hold his hands.

The girl broke the boy's palm.

The palm was densely covered with small scars, which were scratches from stones, plants, and fine debris when he was looking for puzzle pieces in the dusk. The degree of fineness of the wounds was enough to prove the determination of the young man to try his best at that time.

Breathing was a little choked.

It was a strange feeling, like the mood when the minister accidentally broke the bowl, picked up the porcelain pieces, and stared at them.

"no need……"

Kirihara Chi also heard her voice, and the slight tone seemed to contain a heavy meaning that was completely different from the surface.

"It's not something important..." Ogata Yui murmured, "I don't need it anymore."

Before Kirihara Chiya wanted to say something, the strength she held on the boy's wrist suddenly increased a little, as if she had made up her mind.But in the end she just asked:

"Want to go to the bonfire?"

"—Wh, what?" The boy's one-way street brain obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of the topic turning.

"I want to see it."

As she spoke, she pulled the boy out of the classroom with some force, until he stood in the middle of the square full of people, and the heat of the fire was brought to him by the wind, and Kirihara Chiya came back to his senses, but his consciousness just returned was very Soon to suffer a new round of attacks.

"Hand, hand...where are your hands touching...!!"

The surrounding eyes gathered intensely because of the boy's yelling.

Ogata Yui calmly let go of his hand as if he didn't realize it.

He should feel satisfied, but there is an unknown emotion in his heart that is restless, and he wants her to touch himself again and calm down the anxiety.He turned his face away, clenched his fists with the hands hanging by his side.

Not knowing who to confide in, the boy turned his vague thoughts into anger and turned to the onlookers.

"—What are you looking at!"

The scorching eyes finally turned away one after another, and Kirihara Chi also felt panicked in his heart, and just when he was about to continue making trouble for no reason, someone stopped him.

"Red also."

Like ice poured on you.

Kirihara Chiya's face froze, and the red eye sockets quickly returned to normal.

Liu Lian Er walked up to them at some point, her eyes paused on the girl for a moment, as if observing whether she was being bullied, "What are you doing?"

"...No, it's okay." Kirihara Chi also felt guilty for a moment.

His confession was not enough to win Liu Lian'er's trust, so the boy turned to the girl with a trace of inquiry.

Even though Ogata Yui, who had said many times that he was going to sue him, didn't seize the opportunity at this moment, but explained to Lianji lightly, "I just happened to meet him."

Liu Lian'er just uncovered it, nodded slightly, "I'm bringing you trouble."

Chi was not convinced, but did not dare to refute. Turning his back to Liu Lianer, he made a strange grin to the girl, and she was briefly amused.

Liu Lian Er didn't seem to notice their subtle interaction.

"Jingshi is over there," Lian Er looked normal, "Do you want to go over and say hello?"

"Huh?! Minister Yukimura?" Kirihara Chiya was easily distracted, turned his head and stretched his neck to look at the crowd, "When did he come? I'm going!"

"Ah."

Liu Lian-er turned to lead the way.

Akari Kirihara also hesitated for a while, his eyes switched directly and quickly between the senior and Yui Ogata who were about to be submerged in the crowd, as if he remembered that he had unintentionally promised to watch the bonfire with her.

"that……"

He originally wanted to say that I'd be right back, but the girl didn't care about his hesitation at all. She turned her head to look at the wishing lamp that was lifted into the sky in the distance, and her eyes shone like stars.

Kirihara Chi also was speechless for a moment, suddenly he didn't want to say anything, and followed Liu Lian'er angrily.

The single-cell boy's rare thoughts of thousands of turns were obviously not thoroughly understood by the other party. Ogata Yui counted the lights in mid-air boredly. When she was about to count fifty lights, she realized that Kirihara Chi had also left. When he returned, he was followed by the majestic chairman of the Disciplinary Committee and a series of watching seniors from the tennis club.

"I'm giving you trouble."

Genichiro Sanada pressed Chiya's head, and lowered his head mercilessly amidst the screaming of the younger generation.

"..."

Why things turned out like this, Kirihara Chi couldn't tell.

He just went to say hello to Minister Yukimura who hadn't seen him for a while and was sick, only to find that the seniors of the tennis club were all gathered together, which seemed not a very suitable scene for running.

When he turned his head to look for Ogata Yui in annoyance, someone asked him "what are you looking at?"

then……

inexplicably...

As if someone set a trap ahead, he completely revealed what happened today...

Vice Minister Sanada grabbed his collar angrily, shouted "too slack", and wanted to take him to apologize to the victim; Senior Marui kindly persuaded him, "It's just because Chiya didn't train too much"; Even Senior Lian Er, who has always been tolerant of him, spread out his notebook and began to reset his training schedule.

Akaya Kirihara, male, a second-year junior high school student, felt inexplicable and concentrated malice with his single-celled intuition.

……

Ogata Yui was taken aback by the menacing apology, seeing Kirihara being controlled by others, he wanted to laugh.She waved her hand, "It's all right."

Chairman Sanada, who has a strong sense of justice, will continue to discuss the matter of compensation, "That broken jigsaw puzzle..."

"I bought it casually." Ogata Yui said, "It's just to pass the time, it's not worth mentioning."

As if someone had a real gaze, at this moment, it fell on him like a dragonfly.

Ogata Yui looked up.

In the center of the open square is a bright and ardent bonfire.

The crowd formed a circle in layers.

The scorching fire, passing through the distance of the crowd, gradually fades from magnificent colors to misty veils, and the heat is also blown away by the evening wind in late autumn.

Her gaze flicked over the familiar faces in the tennis club.

Deeper in the shade, a figure stood.

The white smoke from the bonfire scattered in mid-air, floating in the direction of the wind.

A gust of wind suddenly turned, carrying faint smoke and dust, and struck towards the shade of the tree. The man frowned and gave a low cough, and the lavender hair fell down on the pale, slightly melancholy side face with the movement, which reminded people Iris in the wind.

Looking from Yui Ogata's point of view, all he could see was a dark silhouette of the boy falling in the night.

Hearing the movement behind him, Sanada Genichiro didn't care to teach Kirihara Akiya a lesson, turned around hastily and walked away, probably asking for a few words of concern.In the bleak night wind, the other party's answer was almost inaudible, and Sanada's expression became more and more serious.Intimidated by his momentum, everyone in the tennis club also fell silent.

"Yukimura, you should go back—"

"..."

"Absolutely not!"

"—Wen Tai, look, I picked up a lamp."

Jackal Kuwahara, who had disappeared since he got up, held a white wishing lamp and walked quickly towards his partner. The informal Brazilian boy was completely unaware of the tense confrontation between the minister and the deputy minister behind him.

In the silence, Wen Tai slowly blew a bubble.

"...Wow, then you are awesome."

Marui Bunta, who was forcibly dragged into the water at the peak of EQ in the Lihai Tennis Club, sighed speechlessly, and took the paper lantern handed by his partner, with an innocent look that also did not notice the contradiction.

"Yukimura-kun, do you have any wishes?"

He lit the lamp and turned to ask.

Yukimura Seiichi heard this and raised his eyes to look over.

His sight was almost condensed into a tight thin line in the deep sky, with the focus of his deep eyes, it was hard to tell whether it was the lamp or Yui Ogata standing quietly behind the lamp.

【"Yukimura, do you have any wish?"

It was her voice, swaying with the lights in the night wind.

"..."

The young man said something in a low voice.

"What?" She raised her face and asked, "I didn't hear clearly."

As a result, the boy flicked her forehead with great force. She puffed up her cheeks aggrievedly, and stretched out her hand to cover her red forehead. The paper lantern was let go by both hands, and it leisurely rose into the air.

"Fortunately, I haven't made a wish yet." She stared for a while, dumbfounded, "What about you?"

A look that wants to earn back with a wish.

He probably didn't want to say it at first, but seeing her unwillingness, he still sighed, pulled away her hand covering her forehead, touched her forehead with his fingertips, and stroked it a few times.

"Say it." She suppressed the itch and blinked her eyes.

Maybe it's because there are too many dots of lights in the girl's eyes, which are as bright as the Milky Way, and he falls into them in a daze.

"If you wish, I want you not to forget me."]

Anemia-like dizziness hit her mind, the images in the hallucinations were intertwined with reality, Yui Ogata closed her eyes unbearably, in the darkness, she clearly heard the voice of Yukimura Seiki for the first time .

He was answering Bunta Marui.

--"No."

The young man smiled softly, it was the same voice as in the hallucination, but with a completely different tone.

Unable to explain why, Ogata Yui's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that he has completely forgotten.

……

After a long time, the bonfire finally went out.

Originally made an appointment to go home with Yagyu Hiroshi, but suddenly remembered that the homework was still in the classroom, Ogata Yui turned back to the teaching building alone, after getting the homework, in the quiet corridor where footsteps can be heard, the girl suddenly stopped in front of a certain door.

She remembered that she found a random classroom and left the puzzle in it.

Suddenly, she pushed open the door in front of her.

The bright moonlight spilled in through the crack of the door, forming a thin silver glow, shining on the table near the door.

In the empty classroom, the jigsaw puzzle has been completely restored at some point—it seems that there has never been any accident, it has never been crushed by anyone, it has not been lost, and it has not been abandoned.

She stood at the table blankly.

Even though I told myself in my heart that this might just be a little joke played on me by this unreasonable world, but when I lowered my eyes, the voices that were deliberately ignored and clearly belonged to the same person appeared clearly in my ears.

The vague image in the hallucination, condensed into a dark silhouette in the shade of the tree.

【"Come and watch the game. Then you can see me."】

【"Anyway, it's such a boring school festival, so I'll just stay and put together this picture."】

【"I want you not to forget me."】

And... that discussion about the script that ended without a problem.

【"Your heroine didn't agree until the end, can this be considered the ending?"】

【"Yes."】

His pointed question pierced through the chaotic time and space, the distant sun, moon and stars, and at this moment he finally came face to face, spreading out the unanswered question in front of her belatedly.

【"—Why didn't she agree?"】

The author has something to say: Akaya (Lv50): There is a Yukimura line, let me turn it off——

Yukimura (Lv99): Don't even think about it.
