[Comprehensive] I could have HE!

She tilted her head in the twilight with a serious look.

Tezuka stretched out his hand to hold the girl's drooping hair at his fingertips. Even though he had done a more intimate move before, it was never clearer than now. As long as he wants to, he must be the one closest to her among all the people.

But in the end, he just tucked the girl's hair behind her ear and asked, "Have you found the person you were looking for before?"

"Eh?" Eri didn't expect him to respond like this, and a blurred figure flashed in her mind, "...No."

"Have you given up?"

Because of Tezuka's aura of the dean, Eri felt a little guilty for no reason, "I just don't think we should look for it anymore."

Assuming she didn't know Keigo Atobe's intentions, she would have asked Yushi to find out, but after that, she seemed to be very tired suddenly and lost the courage to face the truth.

"I've been thinking these days, even if I do remember, what can I do?...I can't change those things anymore."

It seems that in the middle of the night that night, she and Keigo Atobe looked at each other silently across the light and shadow. The young man who demanded perfection never concealed his unique arrogance, but after she confessed, the kind of sharpness that made people feel ashamed , has not appeared in the boy's eyes for a long time.

Occasionally, through the gaps in the crowd, she unintentionally cast a hasty glance, and could only see his back, which was much quieter than usual.

If the so-called truth hurts so much, does she have enough reason to open the wounds they have hidden long ago, watching the blood gushing out again, but there is no way to heal them.

Tezuka stroked her hair.Even though she knew that as long as she remained silent, she would definitely make up her mind, but the boy was still very upright and said his thoughts, "It's not fair, Eri."

The girl lowered her eyes, "... At first, Yukimura said the same thing." Her voice carried a sense of a sigh that had changed from time to time, "But what if things are not taken for granted at all? What if the other party might not want me to remember? It's been so long..."

"It is precisely because something is abnormal that you need to find the answer." Tezuka always followed a stricter code of conduct than others, "In this way, no one will be worried about it."

"How do you know I'll be brooding?"

She blinked her eyes innocently and curiously.

"You don't necessarily have to, but," Tezuka Kunimitsu said, "I hate it."

"—Huh? Why?!"

Tezuka Kunimitsu was silent for a moment - because he always didn't speak, and this moment of pause didn't make Eri notice anything wrong.He remembered that if she couldn't remember all the time, there would be no way to know whether she had really let go of that person.Even Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was extremely emotionally indifferent, couldn't ignore this when facing her.

He is not very keen on studying the chemical reaction between people, and he can even be called a little slow. It was she who suddenly broke into his world and made the words that originally existed in the dictionary come alive. Eri is different, she is a type who is extremely focused once she is involved. After so long, in love, she only recognizes her name.

It is also because of this that the few attachments and cares about others all fall on her.

"Because..." He said something that sounded selfish, and saw the girl on the opposite side showing an expression as if she had never understood him, "I admit that I have always been very mindful."

A smile slowly appeared in the boy's eyes, "Maybe you call this kind of feeling 'jealous'?"

"Eri--!"

As soon as he opened the door, he was caught by the Hitachi twins flying over. After waiting for a long time, Hitachi rubbed the girl's neck and complained, "You're coming back later and later, who are you going to see?"

"Is there something that we must meet?" Different from the lively and cheerful painting style of his twins, Yuanxin Changlu continued in a dangerous tone, "—Could it be that they are in love?"

"..."

"It's none of your business." Eri had long been used to their routines, unmoved, and slapped the two excellent actors away one by one.

"You can't say that." Chang Lu Yuanguang persevered in chasing after her and walked to the living room, "It's been so long, don't you miss your brother? Who did you go to see?"

"And it's not good to fall in love with your brother?" Chang Lu Yuanxin was still struggling with her love life.

"Thank you. Almost ready for Horror Story of the Year."

Eri stopped, suddenly remembered something, "You guys came just in time."

"Oh?"

"Do me a favor."

"No help." Although what he said was very pleasant, but when it came to business, Gemini immediately refused without thinking.

Eri was shocked by their undisguised inconsistency: "..."

"...Once in a while, you two should show some embarrassment." Eri shook her head and walked upstairs. The Hitachi-in twins looked at each other for a moment. Although the intention was to have fun, Beichuan Eri looked very preoccupied. What a disappointment.

Forget it, they all thought at the same time, who made themselves the elder brother!It's no big deal to tolerate the rebellious sister once in a while.

The two squeezed in before Eri closed the door.

The girl's room was empty and monotonous, and it seemed that there was no life atmosphere. The twins who were full of expectations only glanced at it, then looked away in a lack of interest, and complained, "As a girl, your room is too boring..."

"Shut up." Eri regretted letting them in.

She thought of her room at Atobe's house again, which probably fit the Hitachi-in twin's imagination of a "girly space".

"In short, I plan to restore the scene at that time."

Clearing out irrelevant thoughts in her mind, Eri announced her plan.

"—?!"

The Hitachi courtyard twins watched her open the window connecting to the balcony, and seemed to want to jump directly from the balcony on the second floor to the old tree in the courtyard of the Beichuan family, showing a look of panic——

"Wait, wait!" Hitachi Yuenguang remembered the scene where she fell from the tree last time, and was stunned for a moment, "What do you want to do?!"

"Didn't you say restore the scene?"

The natural trouble-making attitude of the female physiology made the Devil Twins suddenly think "this is really a blood-related sister" in their minds.

"Maybe I can think of something." Eri further explained.

"...You haven't given up yet." Hitachi wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, "Even if you think of this kind of thing, how can it help your memory?"

"Yes," Eri said, "For example, why did I run away from home at that time?"

"Does a middle school girl need a reason to run away from home?!" Hitachi Yuenguang retorted angrily.

Eri: "..."

There may be something wrong with your worldview, young man.

"I think it's very strange." Eri sat calmly on the railing of the balcony under their suspicious eyes, and her eyes fell on a place far away in the night sky, "I don't have any friends. Where can I go when I run away from home?" ? There will always be a destination, right?"

"Oh?" Hitachi Yuanxin said expressionlessly, "Has no one told you about how many hotels you have inherited?"

Eri: "..."

She coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "No wonder I was so arrogant before."

"You're not keeping a low profile now." Chang Lu Yuanxin complained calmly.

"—But it's still not right!" Eri finally jumped off the railing, and she looked out sideways, "When I woke up in the hospital, the only thing I had with me was a broken mobile phone. If I want to run away from home, at least I should Bring a wallet or something?"

Seeing that she had finally left the dangerous area, the Hitachi courtyard twins breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about the meaning of her words.

"You suspect that you didn't run away from home at that time?"

"That's right." Eri said, "It's not the first time I've been grounded. If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. Why did it happen that day?"

The expressions of the twins of Hitachi Yard also became serious, "Yes, why?"

"..." The question was thrown back unchanged, and Eri replied blankly, "If you don't do evil, I will know the answer."

Gemini shrugged without guilt, "Then what do you want?"

"Let's take a look at the tree for now." The girl clenched her fist with her right hand and tapped the other palm, saying, "Look what a good idea I came up with!" ' look.

Hitachi reached out his hand in vain to stop her: "——Don't, wait!"

The Hitachi-in twins who were here to cause trouble for Eri and get pleasure from it, under the expression of Matsuno Kazunari who was watching the show, worked hard to bring a ladder from nowhere and put it under the tree.

"I don't want to come to your sister's house to play again." Chang Lu Yuanxin said out of breath.

"Yes," Chang Luyuan nodded, and agreed with sympathy, "Your sister is much scarier than before."

Eri ignored the complaints of the two of them deliberately amplifying their voices, and climbed up the tree on the ladder. The culprit who caused her to fall had already settled down here, and a few chicks were chirping in the bird's nest.

The girl looked at them and sighed.

"Hello—how's it going?" Hitachi asked curiously from below.

Eri pretended not to hear.

"If you don't answer, remove the ladder!"

"..." She poked her head out of the branches and leaves angrily, "You can say such words, are you demons?!"

The twins of Hitachi made a face at her from a distance.

"Wait," suddenly a similar image seemed to flash in my mind, Eri looked down at the Hitachi-in twins, "Xin, stand back a little."

"Aren't you big or young?" Chang Luyuanxin took two steps back and asked with an unhappy face, "And then?"

Eri frowned, struggling with the sporadic and broken images in her mind, "That day, you stood in this position, right?"

"Ah?" Chang Lu Yuanxin looked at her feet and suddenly realized, "It seems so."

"...And then you said?"

Chang Lu Yuanxin took it naturally: "Pay attention to your feet."

【"Pay attention to your feet—!"】

right here!

She grasped one of the lines from countless auspicious memories, and wanted to go down this line, when the voices of the twins of Hitachi Yard suddenly seemed to be separated by something, vague and distant.

At that time, at that time...

【"You've been grounded from today on!" Father scolded angrily, "——wait until you figure it out before you come out!"]

【"You take one step away from here, and don't come back later." The mother was disappointed and warned earnestly, "Yicheng, send your sister back to the room."】

【"I want to see you."

She was silent on the balcony for a long time, and there was a system prompt on the phone that no one answered and it was transferred to the voicemail. The girl looked at the night sky, and her voice was scattered in the evening wind.

"It's been a rough few days, not because of the constant conflicts at home, or because of the things you said."

"Just because—I find myself missing you."

She is a one-sided character, and after saying that, she climbed over the fence with ease, and it took her a while to jump up the tree because she had a mobile phone in one hand.

"It's true that I hate you, and it's true that I still like you at this moment. The last sentence I told you...I'm sorry."

If someone witnessed this scene at that time, they would inevitably show a shocked expression.In Kitagawa Eri's arrogant life, she never bowed her head to anyone, let alone apologized to anyone.

Perhaps because of this, she suddenly felt extremely tired, and her voice dropped.

"...I know it's a bit too much to say this, but anyway, I hope you are at least willing to see me." She read the name softly, "..."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Don't yell ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

There was a strange feeling under her feet. Before she could realize what it was, the sense of weightlessness had already struck. At that moment, she was still thinking that it would be no big deal even if she fell from this height. These two guys surnamed Chang Luyuan Really noisy.

After that, she lost consciousness.

Not far away, where no one noticed, the mobile phone showing the status of "sending" fell to the ground, and the screen flickered twice in a desperate struggle, then quickly dimmed, and finally the words "sending successfully" did not appear. 】

……

Eri pulled out the old mobile phone that was eating ashes in the corner. When she got it back from the repair shop, the data loss of this mobile phone was comparable to the memory in her mind, and the time displayed on the screen was suspended at the tree. At the moment when it fell off and the phone crashed, instead of adjusting the obviously wrong time, she clicked on the communication record, and as expected, there was only a blank.

In the dead of night, Eri sat alone on the tree and tried to recall who she was calling at that time, but the flash of inspiration never appeared again.She pulled a few leaves from the branches as if venting her anger.

"What kind of chain is broken at the critical moment..."

The girl sighed. She recalled that scene, and from the sporadic words, she could probably piece together that the two should have been arguing or breaking up.

It's just that she...is not reconciled.

Because of this unwillingness, she paid a lot.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little wronged.Many subtle but sensitive thoughts flooded into her mind, and she rubbed her red eyes viciously, determined that she would figure this out no matter what.

Even for the sake of that late night, the self who wanted to see someone after throwing everything away.

"Hey, why are you crying?" A cold-sounding voice came from the direction of the balcony, Chang Lu Yuanxin stood there at some point, holding the guardrail with one hand, "It's too ugly, it's not cute at all."

"..." Eri sniffled and said in a nasal voice, "Being so cruel to a crying young girl, I think you will never find a girlfriend in your life."

"So we—"

"No thank you, I don't want to make do with you." Eri immediately blocked what he didn't say.

Hitachi Yuanxin, who was interrupted, looked regretful and shrugged, "Did you find any clues?"

"No." Eri shook the phone at him, "As the only evidence, there is nothing in it."

"It's not the only evidence." Hitachi Yuko, who was still under the tree, suddenly said, he leaned on the tree trunk and answered drowsily, "Don't you still have a pair of rings?"

Eri replied without thinking, "Give it back to Keigo Atobe."

Hitachi Inmitsu: "..."

Chang Lu Yuanxin: "I'm not talking about your engagement ring—but, how many rings did you give away? Are you a half-hearted scum? Have you been playing with our feelings for so many years?"

"...You two must first have human emotions." Eri complained indifferently, "What happened to the pair of rings?"

"Isn't that the style you specially ordered?" As expected of the two young masters from the fashion industry, under the influence of their world-renowned designer mother, they are particularly keen on related issues, "Since this is the case, there will probably be a The reason only you and the designer know."

"For example——" Hitachi-in Hikari continued lazily, "Why are there cherry blossoms?"

Eri nodded, "That makes sense, why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"Because it's fun to watch you tangled up—wow, Eri Kitagawa, what are you hitting me with?!"

The author has something to say:

Pull out the foreshadowing of the ashes, I didn't want to write it, but I found that someone still remembers (×) I can't help it, write it [What kind of rubbish author is this?]

Do a small survey on the ending. Do you prefer to put the ending of each line in the main text or in the optional reading?
