[Plot review]

After losing in the Kanto Contest, Li Haida, who advanced to the National Contest as a runner-up, missed the championship again. Echizen Ryoma of the Youth Academy lost four and chased the sixth. No dead ends] promise.

<loser>

After the brief exchange and handshake ceremony, one was watched by everyone, accompanied by flowers and cheers; the other walked towards the teammates with apologetic expression and loneliness.

"Sorry, everyone." Yukimura Seichi said softly.

His expression was gentle with regret, and his words were mixed with gasps that had not calmed down. He comforted Akaya Kirihara, who was crying, and took the sweat towel handed by Genichiro Sanada with a smile.

Then--

Looking lightly and heavily at the Lihai Grand View competition area, he showed an even more apologetic smile to Asakawa Xia, as if to say: I'm sorry Xiaoxia, I couldn't do what I promised you.

——What would it be like if Yukimura-san knew that today's victory could have belonged to him?

The fear that spreads all over the body, accompanied by the overwhelming sense of guilt, is like the liquid poured into the limbs and bones in the bottle, tightly strangling and entwining Asakawa Xia's body, leaving only pain interspersed with innumerable perception.

Noko Lily: "Asakawa, do you want a hug?"

Asakawa Xia regained her senses and turned her head to look at Noko Lily. Her eyes were red and her face was full of sadness, but she raised her hands and opened her arms as before and said to the girl next to her: Do you want a hug?

Asakawa Xia didn't answer and didn't dare to meet her eyes. She looked away in panic, gaining a little breathing space from the moment when her hair covered her cheeks.

Noko Lily seemed to have misunderstood something, and comforted her softly, "Asakawa, you can cry if you are sad, just like Kirihara-san."

Asakawa Natsu: ...

If I say, I have already foreseen this situation.

If I say, I have single-handedly contributed to this situation.

If I say, I don't feel sorry for Yukimura-san, or even fear that the emotion of being discovered by others will overwhelm the guilt that breeds.

Lily mother, are you still willing to hug me?

pat, pat-

The water in the eye sockets fell straight into the straw-colored skirt, and Asakawa Xia, who did not dare to look up and face the worried eyes of others, bowed her waist and pressed her eyes heavily with her palms, trying to block back the unworthy tears of grievance engraved in this way.

From the moment you choose your "self", "Natsuya Asakawa", the name that represents your parents' fond memories and longing for your own birth, will be imprisoned in the dirty and shameless quagmire forever and ever, even if the years pass, even...

For the rest of my life for decades, the warmth and brightness that I enjoyed unscrupulously in the past will never drive away the fear and darkness for "me".

It will only float and flicker, allowing "I" to pursue in vain, and stand playfully on the high sky that can no longer be touched.

Only after sleeping for a long time, lying in the hot grave furnace and turning into a handful of dusty ashes, will the clear blue sky and the bright sun cast mixed and disdainful pity.

The awards ceremony came to an end soon. The formerly bustling spectator seats seemed to have stepped into another world and suddenly became silent. The spectators walked away in a hurry, and the members of the tennis club also followed the steps of the main election to leave the podium and went to the outside world. fireworks.

"finished……?"

Asakawa Xia wiped her face and looked at the suddenly empty venue. It was difficult for her to describe her state of mind at the moment, even though she looked calm and cold in front of her eyes, there were noisy and annoying sounds repeating in her ears.

blame you!It's all your fault!

What a waste of a whole year of hard work!

Selfish, bad guy!

What is wrong with the campus forum scolding you!

……

——Yes, what is wrong?

They are telling the truth...

The sunlight falling from directly above spreads out in all directions, and there is a piece of warm light that illuminates the seat next to Asakawa Xia. She spreads her fingers as if she wants to touch and feel the temperature of midsummer.

"Forget it." She muttered to herself, "Fortunately, Lily's mother is very considerate, even if the reason is lame, she still leaves me some quiet time alone."

Do I still deserve to touch the warmth I once had?

How should I face Yukimura-san?

"Yukimura-san..."

Asakawa Xia's sad sigh was not over yet, a familiar smell came from the soft wind blowing by her side, and came with it: "I am here."

"Yukimura, Yukimura-san..." Asakawa Natsu looked incredulously, "Didn't you leave with everyone?"

I clearly told Lily's mother to tell her that I was going to leave alone, why Yukimura-san... or did Lily's mother value sex and despise friends, and she was bewitched by the beauty of her sweetheart and forgot to say it?

"Noko-senpai has conveyed the message." Yukimura Seichi stretched out his hand to brush away the hair sticking to Asakawa Natsu's face, as before, whatever he thought in his heart, he wrote on his face.

"Then why?" You still appear in front of me.

"My future wife is very sad, how can I let her go home alone? Or—" Yukimura Seichi's voice changed, taking advantage of Asakawa Natsu's puzzled face, he pulled the distance between them.

"Xiao Xia thinks I'm inconsiderate?"

"I..." Asakawa Xia pulled the hem of her skirt tightly, and looked away guiltily: "I didn't think so."

"Xiao Xia."

"……I am here."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't do what I promised you." There was a touch of regret and apology in the boy's tone, and his purple-blue eyes were full of emotions, showing all the unwillingness that he couldn't express clearly when facing his teammates and members. .

Asakawa Natsu, who has been secretly observing Yukimura Seiichi from the corner of her eye: ...

Yukimura should know that he has the right to know.

but--

What's so good about it?

After hesitating again and again, Asakawa Natsu let go of the wrinkled skirt, and slowly and slowly traced the outline of the boy's face with her fingertips, carefully reading the unwillingness in his eyes: "Yukimura-san."

"I'm here."

"If... the victory of this game and the Kanto Tournament should have belonged to Li Haida, the tennis club, and you, but..."

"No buts."

The rough fingers with thin calluses squeezed into the girl's fingertips, and the body temperature belonging to Yukimura Seiki was like boiling oden in the cold winter months, dispelling the coldness from the pedestrians in the middle of the night.

"Echizen-kun won the championship with his own strength."

"But..." How can you not beat him with your physical strength, and I have a chance to make you better.

Yukimura Seichi roughly guessed what his girlfriend wanted to say, he raised the corners of his mouth, and put his index finger on the girl's open and closed lips: "Xiao Xia, we should congratulate Echizen-kun for his victory."

"When a lot of things happen, most people can't greet them with the best face, don't care about the "but" and "if", and worry about it, and regret it will fall into an endless loop. "

"We should look forward to a better future."

"Hmm..." Asakawa Xia responded vaguely.

If she never had the chance to make the boy in front of her get better, hearing her boyfriend's words of relief and feeling his gentle and open-minded attitude, she would surely raise her tear-stained cheeks with an ugly smile and say loudly: "Well! Let's look forward! "

But she has it, she has it.

Seeing with my own eyes that bunch of delicate petals disappeared without a trace the moment I made my choice, as if it had never appeared before.

"Let's go." Seiichi Yukimura held up the palms of the two, "Don't make Genichiro and the others wait too long."

"……it is good."

Even if he opened his mouth to tell that bizarre story, the young man in front of him would not be shaken in any way. For him, what supported his current achievements was never illusory things or the title of "Son of God" imposed by the world.

From the beginning to the end, he only believed in himself, and believed in himself who worked tirelessly for the tennis he loves.

【Follow-up summary】

On the second day after the national competition, Asakawa Xiayi, who had suffered from insomnia for a long time, fell ill.

During her illness, her nerves were thin and fragile. Under the physical and psychological torture day after day, Asakawa Xia could no longer bear the guilt and guilt. She wrote all the bizarre experiences in the dream into words and tried to send them in written form, so that Avoid the possibility of facing your sweetheart, Noko Lily, and the eyes and expressions of everyone in the tennis club.

however--

The letter paper with earnest words and full of water and dry marks turned into its original brand-new appearance the moment she stopped writing, mocking silently:

For all eternity, you will be tortured by this.

for exchange".

last of the last.

A short clip pops up on the game interface to exaggerate the atmosphere. In the room with closed doors and windows, the curtains with warm patterns and patterns reflect dull and dirty colors. The girl is curled up in the corner formed by the bed and the wall.

The black hair that used to be long and smooth was now messily intertwined and knotted. She hugged her knees tightly and let the phone beside her hum, turning on and off again and again.

The white screen light illuminated most of her cheeks, her almond eyes that were once shining and full of stars were now bloodshot, and the skin under her eyes turned ugly black.

"perhaps……"

The girl let go of her arms and straightened her stiff body. She heard the crisp sound of bones creaking, and felt the soreness and numbness of the bones returning to their place in the joint cavity.

"No, not maybe."

"The choice I face is only about "self""

"Mother Lily, I'm so stupid"

"It's been a few months before I understand such a shallow truth"

The noisy mobile phone was flashing and jumping with the words "the battery is too low, it will automatically shut down soon". It struggled for several minutes but still failed to attract the girl's attention.

As the light of the mobile phone screen fades away, the short film that renders the atmosphere also comes to an end. The picture at the end of the film depicts the girl's haggard cheeks in detail, and the eye-catching darkness makes her look like a withered branch and a flower that has lost its freshness. Add a thick and colorful trace to the ordinary face.

Like the words emerging from the black silhouette beside the girl:

"I have no choice, only wishes"

State the depressive fact lightly and heavily: "I" cannot escape guilt, the so-called "choice" and "entanglement" are just comforting myself and giving "I" a chance to leave a beautiful appearance.

"I have no choice, only wishes."

The empty and cold Western-style living room is illuminated by the light that falls through the window in the early morning. The thin window screen cannot stop the progress of the sun. Its stretched, slender tentacles of various shapes gently knock open the sleeping girl in the corner who is talking to herself continuously. eyelids.

"Hello, please sign for the romance titled "The Beginning" of the day. "It said silently, and continued to beat persistently.

Asakawa Xia, who uttered a complete sentence, finally opened her eyes. She seemed to be still in the substituted emotions and the undigested, circling pictures in her head. When she found that most of her body was covered with warm sunlight, she unexpectedly revealed an unbelievable surprise. Come.

Even twisting and turning, tentatively reaching out to the dreaming Mingrun in the dream.

——I still have a chance, that's great.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Xiaoxia's choice is obvious. In essence, it's not that her love for Yukimura overcomes everything, but that she can't face the guilt in her heart. Although it is not very romantic, it is the truth.

She just chose the way that made her feel at ease.

Off topic

I calculated the direction in my mind, the sweetest part should be the episode?The premise is that if I can write it, if I write a side story, the general content is that Yukimura-san took the initiative to chase Xiaoxia.

The reminder is more to see, it is better to say that the w reminder is also part of the motivation, thank you for commenting on me
