[Comprehensive] Your wish, I will come true

"Ah...it's over..." Suzuki Sonoko lay on the table, looking at the report card in his hand blankly, feeling hopeless in life.

Mao Lilan also had a bitter face, looking at the report card and sighing.

Not only them, most of the students in the class looked at the report card with nothing to love.

There is no way, who knows why the teachers went crazy this time, the questions they asked were very biased, most of the students were unfortunately recruited, and the exams were a mess.

Although Mao Lilan didn't have to worry about how to go home and explain...but he still felt a little uncomfortable after failing the exam.

"Lan... what do you think I should do!" Suzuki Sonoko wailed to the sky, "You have your Shinichi to help you with tutoring, who should I turn to?"

"What are you talking about, Yuanzi!" Mao Lilan looked at her friend with some reproach, but she also had to admit that if it was her childhood sweetheart, she would definitely not be stumped by such a question.

But... Mao Lilan looked at the empty table behind him, this person really hasn't been here for a long time.

Mao Lilan knew that the other party was still safe-but only now.She is very aware of the safety of her childhood sweetheart, but she also knows what dangerous things he is doing now.

Mao Lilan knew that she couldn't help much, and might cause him trouble.So, don't ask, don't tell, just pretend you don't know.

But... I'm still a little unsatisfied.

"Wow! Sister Chuanqing from class C is in the top five again this time!"

"This senior has been in the top five in five consecutive years!"

"What the hell! This senior is among the best from elementary school to junior high school and then to high school. I have never seen this senior miss."

"Is it so powerful..."

The discussion of other people attracted the attention of Mao Lilan and others.

"Ah, it's Chuanqing-senpai..."

"I'm sorry, Kawaharu-senpai is..." As an exchange student, Natsume didn't know those very powerful people.

"Chuanqing Xinghui, in Didan Elementary School, Didan Country Middle School, and Didan High School are among the best in the back-and-forth exams. Those who never fail think they are the top students." Although they are both transfer students, the information surface is a little higher than Natsume's. The layered Sera Masumi popularized knowledge to Natsume.

"Here—" pointing to the door of the classroom, "That is Yukie Kawaharu."

A girl with shoulder-length short hair just passed by the door.The girl has a delicate face, although she can't be said to be particularly good-looking, but she will not be annoying.Chuanqing Xinghui was talking with her classmates. Although she couldn't hear the sound, she could see Chuanqing Xinghui smiling happily.

ah.This is only a top student can laugh.

【Um? 】

Natsume tilted his head in doubt, wondering if he had hallucinated just now.

"What's wrong, Natsume-kun?"

"Ah...it's nothing..." Natsume turned her head and frowned unconsciously.

Just now...was it really his illusion?

Just now, when Chuanqing Xinghui raised his hand, he heard a few crisp sounds of iron chains colliding.

****

Natsume has paid too much attention to Kawaharu-senpai recently.

Just like when he met the girl with wings on her back, Natsume still cared about the faint sound of the iron chains colliding.

He hoped that this was just his illusion, but the faint uneasiness in his heart made him unable to help but focus on that senior sister.

"What's wrong?" Kawaharu Yukie seemed to notice Natsume's gaze, and turned her head to ask with a smile.The tone is gentle, the smile is decent, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it leaves a very good impression on people.

"It's all right! It's just that we adore senior sister very much. This time I can pass the exam so well, I can only say that I am worthy of senior sister." Facing Kawaharu Yukie, Natsume blushed and didn't know how to answer, but Suzuki Sonoko quickly answered the question , so that the scene is not so embarrassing.

"Thank you for your compliment." Chuanqing Xinghui waved her hand and said with a smile.Anyway, she has been in the same school for so long, even if she doesn't know her, she at least has an impression of Suzuki Sonoko's face.

After all... As the daughter of the Suzuki Foundation, Suzuki Sonoko is quite famous.

It's just a pity that this daughter is not outstanding.

There is no "excellence" that everyone's daughter should have.

[Dingling, Dingling. 】

Again.

Natsume raised his head, as if he was trying to figure out where the sound of the clanging chains was coming from.When his gaze fell on Chuanqing Xinghui, his breath suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, his pupils shrank, and he was still trying to hide his surprise.

But all of Natsume's actions fell into Shiliang Zhenchun's eyes.

Natsume definitely saw something on Kawaharu-senpai, but... Sera Makoto's dark green eyes darkened slightly, and she carefully sized Kawaharu Yukie again.Sera Masumi can swear in the name of her high school detective that there is absolutely nothing surprising about this Kawaharu-senpai—no makeup, no earrings, no necklace, and the watch is just the most common style.

So—what was it that surprised her mysterious exchange student so much?

What surprised Natsume so much must not be something that ordinary people can see.

What's more... No one would wear such a thing with them.

What Natsume saw was a pair of handcuffs, firmly and firmly holding Kawaharu Yukie's hand.Although Teidan High School's school uniform has long sleeves that can hide the handcuffs, Natsume didn't find the handcuffs yesterday.However, in the movement of Kawaharu Yukie just waving his hands, this pair of pitch-black handcuffs was exposed in front of Natsume.

Natsume could even see the terrible thick iron chains attached to the handcuffs, the iron chains were buried in Kawaharu Yukie's sleeves, and he couldn't see anything deeper.

But just the exposed part was enough to shock Natsume.

Those shackles... what the hell are they...

Natsume brought this question to the shop, but April [-]st did not answer his doubts.

April [-] slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth, watched the smoke gradually fade and dissipate, and then the whole room smelled of mint smoke.

"You don't need to worry. This chain...she will be a guest, and you will know what it is then."

That's... a testament to a very sad life.

Maybe he really cared too much about the chain, Natsume has been trying to find out some things about Kawaharu Yukie recently, and Suzuki Sonoko has been teasing whether he likes Kawaharu-senpai.Then he smiled and looked at his blushing explanation.

really care.

As far as Natsume has been observing Yukie Kawaharu in the past few days, the sound of jingling, jingling, chains colliding has never stopped

Too.

Then one day, Natsume saw Yukie Kawaharu standing quietly in front of the grade bulletin board, his black pupils reflected densely packed names, scores, and rankings.

Then, Natsume heard the sound of jingling bells—no, more than that, he also heard the sound of chains rubbing against cloth.

【Dingling, Dingling—————】

[No, this is not enough, I still need to be better——]

"Hiss—" Natsume looked at Yukie Kawaharu almost in horror.

Just now, Natsume witnessed with her own eyes that an iron chain slowly lay down along Kawaharu Yukie's legs, and then——

On Kawaharu Yukie's feet, a solid, foot-cuff was formed.

Chuanqing Xinghui gently raised her hand to stroke the broken hair on her forehead.Dark, heavy oppressive shackles, pale, delicate and soft skin—such a sharp contrast, such strange shackles.

Is it a monster?Natsume prayed in her heart that it was just like the girl's wings back then, and this pair of shackles were nothing more than ghosts and monsters.Then, just drive them away.Although senpai may be affected a little bit, but——

But ah-

Natsume caressed her neck unconsciously, her breathing was a little short, and cold sweat was faintly oozing from her forehead.

However, just looking at the shackles, he already felt out of breath!

It's so heavy, oppressive, and breathless, as if being suffocated by someone's neck, and as if being severely restrained by others, it feels——

It's really--so sad!

"Hey, Natsume, Kawaharu Yukie's parents just came."

Sera Masumi volunteers to provide information to Natsume.She wanted to find out what the exchange student's secret was.

"Is that so..." Natsume Takashi got up, and after asking about the location, he immediately went there and hid in the dark to observe.

He knew that he shouldn't care about this matter so much, but...every time he saw Chuanqing Xinghui, he would always feel a very sad and pityful emotion.He doesn't even know why.

Then, he vaguely heard——

"No way, Xinghui, although the ranking is still very high this time, the total score has dropped."

"Xinghui, you have to remember that you are excellent, so there must be no such thing as a backward grade."

"Fortunately, you have to work harder. Look, you still haven't made it to the top three in your grade. You still haven't reached the best. Next time, you must be in the top three in your grade, understand?"

What... this almost unreasonable request...

"I understand. I will enter the top three next time. I will be even better." Chuanqing Xinghui did not refute that he had tried his best, but agreed.

Fortunately, there was no light in Chuanqing's eyes, but only a pool of black and turbid water.

Natsume covered her mouth, trying not to scream.

Those words, Chuan Qing's parents', Chuan Qing's own words, gradually turned into thick and long iron chains, slowly wrapped around Chuan Qing's delicate and tender neck, and then formed a thick neckband.

Suddenly, Natsume seemed to know what those shackles were.

****

"welcome."

"welcome."

Chuanqing Xinghui looked at the two little girls in front of her and smiled just right.

She can guarantee that this smile is definitely the most elegant and most arousing, without giving people an over-enthusiastic feeling.

This is the best, most perfect smile.She has practiced for a long time.

"Excuse me, where is it?" Yes, that's it, asking in the most pleasant voice, polite and polite.

"This is a store."

"It's a shop that makes wishes come true." As they spoke, the two little girls went crazy by themselves.

"April [-]st is indeed right, there will be... guests today."

Chuanqing Xinghui maintained this most appropriate smile, quietly watched the two girls in front of her go crazy, and then slowly sorted out the news she just got.

A shop that grants wishes...does she have any wishes that come true?

Before she finished thinking, the two little girls pushed her into the so-called "shop".

The young shopkeeper opposite was looking at her, and she was also looking at the shopkeeper opposite.

Although he is a bit too young...but his temperament is not bad.

Chuanqing Xinghui commented in her heart that there was no disturbance in her heart.

"This is a store where wishes can come true. As long as you are willing to pay the corresponding price, I can fulfill your wishes."

The shopkeeper spoke first.

Wish... Kawaharu Yukie was a little dazed when she was rare.

What does she wish for?What wish does she have that can be fulfilled?

She suddenly felt a little heavy on her arms, as well as on her neck, as if she was in shackles.

No, it's not.Just wearing shackles.

Chuanqing Xinghui looked at the shackles and chains on her body very, very plainly, with no other expression except for the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually fading.

It was so plain that it seemed that she had known this kind of thing on her for a long time.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean?" Chuanqing Xinghui said, but she regretted it after she finished speaking.

With such a cold tone, it will make people think that I am not good enough, right?

"Do you want to untie it?" April [-] looked at the shackles on Kawaharu Yukie's body, his eyes were calm, and he didn't have Natsume's gaffe at all.

"Untie it?" Chuanqing Xinghui seemed to have heard some funny joke. Although he knew it was impossible to do this, but... it should be possible to lose his composure this time, right?

She raised her hand, and the black iron chain slowly crawled between her arms as if it had life—like a black, cold python.

Not only that, the iron chains seemed to be stimulated by something, and the rattling began to increase, and the increased iron chains slowly swam on Chuanqing Xinghui's body, and then tightened.After a while, Chuanqing Xinghui's body was covered with chains, and the chains seemed to be tightened. She raised her head slightly, obviously she should be in a very uncomfortable state, but she was still very calm.

Natsume, who had been peeking outside the door because he was worried, finally couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Hey, I'm sorry, may I ask you... I'm really sorry, I didn't remember your name, did I disappoint you?"

That's it, Kawaharu Yukie still greeted Natsume with a smile.

"What are these chains...!"

"Hope." Standing up on April [-]st, there were indescribable emotions in the golden and blue eyes, like pity, like helplessness, like...

Natsume couldn't find any more adjectives.

"The expectations of her parents, relatives, teachers, friends, strangers, and even her own requirements... All kinds of expectations and requirements turned into chains, completely binding her life , like wearing shackles, every move is done for the expectations of others, and all efforts are to cater to the expectations of others. And the expectations of others have thus become the most solid chains, locking Her life locks her future."

"...Is there a way to untie them..." Natsume's mouth was bitter.If this is the case, then it is too sad, such a life.

"Of course." April [-] looked at Natsume's bright eyes and smiled almost mockingly.

"But... is she willing?"

"of course--"

"Of course I don't want to." Kawaharu Yukie interrupted Natsume.

"I added these chains voluntarily." Chuanqing Xinghui tilted her head slightly, as if puzzled, "Why did you untie them? My life was planned by my parents when I was very young." It's over, I just need to follow their requirements and expectations of me, and do that." Chuanqing Xinghui's eyes are like black holes, and no light can penetrate them.

"What's more...if I untie these shackles and don't follow their planned life, what kind of life and future should I have?"

Chuanqing Xinghui is like a very ordinary girl, speaking this terrifying fact in an ordinary tone: "Untie them, and I will die."

【I am dancing with shackles on. 】

[In... this life that has been woven by others long ago, with shackles, dance this choreographed desperate dance. 】

【And I... I like it...】

Natsume looked at the back of Kawaharu Yukie leaving, with unbearable sadness in his eyes.

"This is the path she chose." April [-]st patted Natsume on the shoulder, expressing comfort.

Unlocking the shackles is very, very simple. As long as she changes her mind and refuses to accept the domination of others, the chains will naturally dissipate.

But she doesn't want to.

"I know."

It's just that the future of such a life...

It's too sad...
