[Net King] Winter Snow

After finally dragging Yuriko Uemura through the first half of the journey, Genichiro Sanada deeply felt the girl's fear of darkness and ghosts in desperation.Along the way, the girl who usually never showed weakness screamed from the beginning to the end, and she curled up behind the black-haired boy, wishing to let her sense of existence disappear.

"We're almost at the finish line." Genichiro Sanada said to the girl who was desperately grabbing the sleeves of his windbreaker with both hands.

"Mmm... Mmm!" The shivering girl's eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior after hearing the other party's words.

The black curtain covers the front of the two of them, and if they pass through it, there should be only the last corner left.Thinking of this, Genichiro Sanada stretched out his hand as a matter of course, but was touched by something behind the curtain.

"What's wrong?" Yuriko Uemura asked hoarsely, noticing the pause between the movements of the black-haired boy.

"There seems to be something behind, what happened?" Sanada Genichiro said truthfully, but was startled by the girl's high-decibel cry.

“啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊不要说！！不要说出来啊啊啊啊啊！！！！”上村百合子双手捂住耳朵，就差没蹲下去把自己抱成一团。

"Didn't you ask me what's wrong?" The boy looked helpless, and then stretched out his hand to block Yuriko Uemura.

"Why?" Puzzled by the other party's actions, the girl stopped crying out of fear and asked cautiously.

"Aren't you afraid? If you can't see it, you won't be afraid." Genichiro Sanada said while reaching out to lift the black curtain.As expected by the boy, behind the curtain, a woman in red with loose hair was smiling coldly at the two of them.

"Let's go." Nodding towards the female ghost, Genichiro Sanada still covered Yuriko Uemura with one hand.

"Wait, wait!" The visually deprived girl couldn't see the road ahead, and she stumbled and couldn't keep up with Genichiro Sanada.

The black-haired boy who was walking in front paused for a while, and finally took Uemura Yuriko's hand, and then the other hand tightly covered the girl's eyes.Just like this step by step leading the other party for the rest of the way, Genichiro Sanada didn't know if it was his own illusion, but the girl who screamed all the way quieted down, following his steps carefully and quietly.

After half a minute, the two finally managed to get out of the haunted house. Looking at the time on the watch, Genichiro Sanada felt that the 10 minutes or so seemed like more than an hour to him.The girl let go of his palm as soon as she went out, and patted her chest with an exaggerated expression, but he only remembered the soft touch of the other's palm, like soft cotton candy, with a girl's unique aroma.

"Finally revived! Huh!" After recovering with difficulty, Yuriko Uemura patted her cheeks with both hands, and then smiled cheerfully at Genichiro Sanada again.

"If you know you're afraid, don't try it." Thinking of the trembling appearance of the other party before, Genichiro Sanada couldn't help frowning.Although things like haunted houses are said to be included in the amusement facilities, it may be a big blow to replace them with people who are really afraid of ghosts.

"Hey, I forgot." Sticking out her tongue, Yuriko Uemura was pretending to be silly, while secretly vowing in her heart that she would never go to such a place where she would get a heart attack again.

Almost wandering around the amusement park, the girl who couldn't think of where else to go left and right finally thought of her poor belly.Rubbing her stomach that had been hungry all day, Uemura Yuriko turned her head to fawn on Genichiro Sanada and said, "Hey, let's go eat?"

"Hungry?" Looking at the dark weather just now, the boy wondered if it would be too early for dinner at four o'clock.

"Well, I've been shopping all day." Nodding vigorously, Yuriko Uemura was serious about it.

The fast food restaurants in the amusement park are not very delicious, but fortunately, the large quantity can satisfy the hunger of people who are tired from playing.Uemura Yuriko ordered several fried foods in a row, and then she put it away with satisfaction.The girl noticed that the black-haired boy seemed very dissatisfied with this unhealthy food, but as far as the eye could see, the menu was almost all fried food.Genichiro Sanada frowned slightly, and finally ordered a hamburger set meal.

"It's good to try fast food once in a while, maybe it's unexpectedly delicious?" Looking at Genichiro Sanada's still frowning, Yuriko Uemura said with a smile.

"It's not a question of whether it's delicious or not, it's all about the unhealthy fried food." The black-haired boy put on a serious look, talking about the dangers of junk food.

Listening to Genichiro Sanada's health hazard theory, Yuriko Uemura first pretended to listen carefully, and finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing, "I always feel that Sanada-kun looks like a grandfather." The girl with twin ponytails showed an uncontrollable smile, and stretched out her hand to smooth the brow of the other party forcefully, "Obviously only a teenager, don't make yourself as rigid and restrained as the old man."

The black-haired boy seemed to want to say something, but he was overwhelmed by the other party's smiling expression. He sighed and picked up the hamburger set that the waiter had served before and ate it.

Looking at Genichiro Sanada's appearance at the moment, Yuriko Uemura's eyes had some novel expressions. In her impression, this black-haired boy has always been full of etiquette. Even the angle of holding the chopsticks seems to have been specially taught.A person like this is actually holding a hamburger and chewing it in front of her at this moment, unexpectedly there is a subtle contrast.

"What's the matter?" Senichiro Sanada asked suspiciously, noticing Yuriko Uemura's eyes on him.

"It's nothing." She smiled mysteriously, the girl just showed a cat-like smile, and said nothing.Probably thinking that the sauce was on his face, Genichiro Sanada picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth a few times under Yuriko Uemura's gaze.

"Speaking of it," as if she had finally seen enough, Yuriko Uemura withdrew her eyes from the other party and stirred the ice cubes in the drink with her fingers, "It's worth my hard work for so long, Kiyomiko finally fell in love with me It's over."

Almost choked by the girl's words, Genichiro Sanada felt that he was not in a good place, wait... Did he hear some super explosive news just now? !

"Cough, cough, cough...!" After finally swallowing the food in his mouth, Genichiro Sanada coughed violently.

"Pfft, don't worry about it, I'm not as excited as you are." Seeing the other party finally recovering, Yuriko Uemura covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Takeuchi-san likes you?" The innocent boy was obviously deceived by Yuriko Uemura's words.

"Yeah, she finally called me by my name!" The girl said with a smile, as if remembering something, she giggled.

"Yuriko?" Calling out the other party's name in a confirming tone, Genichiro Sanada noticed that Yuriko Uemura seemed to tremble the moment she heard his voice.

"Well, Qing Jianzi calls me Yuriko now, this is a big breakthrough, I am on the same level as Liu Jun in her heart." When the girl spoke again, Genichiro Sanada could not see any wavering in the other party. The expression changed, as if she was simply answering his confirmation, there was not even a single flaw in Uemura Yuriko's words.

"Yuriko." After calming down, Genichiro Sanada calmed his eyes, and called the girl's name again in a declarative tone.

Unexpectedly, the other party would do this at all, Yuriko Uemura was stunned for a moment, and stared at Genichiro Sanada's calm and serious eyes with wide eyes, looking unbelievable.The girl just stared blankly at each other for a few seconds, then moved her eyes away in a panic, smiled reluctantly, and pretended to be relaxed, "What, what's the matter, it's so strange to call me by my name all of a sudden, ah Ha ha."

Facing Yuriko Uemura's intentionally pretending to be stupid, Sanada Genichiro didn't say much in the end, but just sighed softly from the bottom of his heart, and ended the conversation.The lights of the amusement park outside the window were still flickering, but the two people in the store fell silent at the same time.

"Jinglebells, Jinglebells, Jinglebells all the way."

"Oh what funt' store in one horse opens sleigh."

The unexpected Christmas songs sounded in the store, and the cheerful children's voices and the sound of bells drowned out the slightly awkward atmosphere.Uemura Yuriko lowered her eyebrows and looked out the window at the colorful playground.Outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, couples cuddling each other are holding hands and talking sweetly, while beside them are cute children wearing Christmas-like red hats, running around their parents.

The night sky that has been completely dimmed still has some stars, and the faint light is covered by the neon lights with full wattage, and the only thing that can be seen is the constantly flashing colorful colors.The dreamlike scene was unfolded in front of her eyes, Yuriko Uemura felt as if the softest part of her heart had been touched, showing a nostalgic expression.

"Let's make a Ferris wheel." Turning her eyes away from the window, Yuriko Uemura smiled and said to Genichiro Sanada who was sitting opposite her.
