Two or three things about Sakura no Mori Gakuen

The human form is like a silhouette cobbled together from rubble.The wind brings up grayish-yellow fine sand.The corners of the mouth were stained with crimson blood, and the eyelids were gloomy.The cold body was lifeless.Shouting sounded like water frozen into thin ice.

Throwing off the quilt and turning over, a fine layer of sweat spread all over his forehead.Probably because of a little bit of overflowing ability, the whole body was very hot.

The phone rang and a familiar name appeared on the screen.The sound of electric current came from the earpiece, tingling the auditory nerves one after another.

"I'm almost at HOMRA, get up."

"Ah."

"Okay, see you then."

These as usual tones merged into a rushing river, with splashes on the edge.The wound hurts inexplicably, which is not a pleasant feeling.

It didn't take long to hear the sound of the door opening from downstairs, accompanied by her usual "excuse me".

Have you ever had even a little bit.

Unexpected expectations.

After the sleepover, Miri resumed her life of coming to Zhou Fangzun for counseling every three days.On the spread out exercise book, there are sketches and drawings, sometimes even covering the original topic.Point your fingertips on it, repeating the meaning line by line.The eyes follow the nib of the pen, and you can see the palm lines and tanned skin.

Sometimes when the eyes meet, they will subconsciously avoid them.When they met again, they brought a calmness that was deliberately concealed.The real face hidden under the mask is completely unknown.

The seeds under the frost are looking for a suitable breakthrough.Or die before the spring of the coming year.

Just past 12 o'clock, Zhou Fangzun had already stood up.

"Eat something before continuing." He opened the brown door, "I'm a little tired."

No need to guess the intent.It can almost be described as "escape".It's just that Misato didn't care too much about it.

It's good now.That's fine.

I didn't have much hope for myself.That kind of redundant feeling is not what I should have.

Follow him and go downstairs, the sunlight shines in through the glass wall, and the whole HOMRA has a lazy feeling.Zhou Fangzun was eating a bowl of spaghetti mixed with meat sauce, and a promotional paper was placed on the seat next door.Misato guessed that it was specially reserved for herself to read, so she walked over a few steps and saw clearly that it said "CityU Open Day".

"Why is there this piece of paper?" Misato was a little surprised that such a thing would appear in HOMRA.

"It's because..." Kusanagi was about to say it, but immediately fell silent after hearing Zhou Fangzun's sudden cough, "Appeared here by accident."

"Huh?" Misato looked at Kusanagi suspiciously, "What..."

"Would you like to take a look?" Kusanagi said in an adult tone.

"Well...but there must be a lot of people." Misato hesitated.

"Isn't it the university you want to enter. At least you should go to see the environment and so on. By the way, you can ask the previous seniors about the experience of the entrance examination." Kusanagi pointed out.

"That's true." Misato read the words on the promotional paper and thought about it carefully, "But my sister definitely doesn't have time on Friday, and it doesn't make much sense for me to go alone."

Kusanagi set the cleaned and wiped cup aside, and naturally propped his right elbow on the bar counter, "It's easy to handle. Just let him go with you."

Zhou Fangzun was chewing a large piece of pasta, when he heard Kusanagi mentioning himself, he raised his head for some unknown reason.

"Just let Zun go with you. Maybe the atmosphere of the university will influence him." Kusanagi made the decision for Zhou Fangzun without authorization.

"Don't just arrange my life for me." Dissatisfied, he tapped the white dinner plate twice with a metal fork, "Kill you."

=====

After all, it is not a young university, and the red brick wall at the entrance alone has an old smell.There are not a few people who come to visit.Some came with their families, and some went in with friends in twos and threes.The expression on the face made people feel as if they had already been admitted to City University with the highest grades.Looking at Misato, she clutched the straps of her schoolbag tightly, and her whole body movements were quite reserved, which seemed particularly out of place compared to other people who talked and laughed easily.

"Even the small road is a gravel road from a long time ago!" Misato kept spitting out exclamation-like words after entering the school gate.She is like a country bumpkin who has just entered the city, and everything about CityU makes her feel novel.

"It's just some old equipment, what's there to praise." Zhou Fangzun followed her, not understanding her behavior.

"The tree is so big! It must have a history of hundreds of years!" Misato continued to comment on the rows of trees on the roadside landscape belt, "It must be very beautiful to walk on this parallel wood road in autumn!"

Zhou Fangzun sighed.Surrounded by people who came to visit, and occasionally students who were caught asking for details.A boy with a blue shirt and a camel fur vest was talking about school life to a high school senior, with pride and pride on his face.

"Is this what university looks like..." Zhou Fangzun whispered.

Such a place is very different from other corners of the town.Violence, gore, senseless fights between different groups.If he hadn't really come to City University, Zhou Fangzun probably wouldn't have known that there was such a peaceful place in Zhenmu Town.

Miri followed behind a group of people and listened to the students at the front about her experience of being admitted to City University.

"The most important thing is the entrance exam questions. Many of the real questions will be very similar. The other is the ability to take the exam..." The girl has shoulder-length hair and wears a watch with a thin strap on her left hand." But after entering university, there are more activities. There are fellowships and camps, which are quite rich. Let’s work hard!”

Zhou Fangzun stood outside.Misato ran back after the crowd dispersed.She didn't know whether her cheeks were tanned or because of high emotions, and there was a smile that couldn't dissipate at the corner of her mouth.

"Ahh... I'm getting nervous after being told by my senior." Misato said while checking the campus map.

"Sister...you haven't passed the exam yet, haven't you?"

It was just an unintentional sentence at first, but Misato's expression froze suddenly.Then she put on a wry smile and said mockingly, "Yeah... I haven't passed the exam yet. I'm too self-righteous."

Entering the teaching building, there are wooden corridors and classroom doors with signs. Every time Misato passes through one of them, she will read the words on it.

"Preparation room?" She stared carefully at the black sign on a white background, "What exactly are you preparing for?"

Misato's high mood did not affect Zhou Fangzun beside her.He looked at Misato indifferently.Compared to the lifeless girl she was at school and HOMRA, Misato is a different person now at CityU.

Footsteps made a dull sound on the wooden floor.Someone is teaching in the big classroom at the end of the corridor.Push the door open a little bit, and watch the scene inside from the crack of the door.Zhou Fangzun stood two steps away, not interested in the big classroom at all.

"It's a strange feeling." Misato said after closing the door.

"how."

"I can't tell." Misato put the campus map in his backpack, "Let's go. I suddenly want to eat something."

======

The cold drink shop in front of the station is still deserted.Misato ordered a cup of red bean smoothie as usual.Zhou Fangzun sat opposite, with only a glass of lemonade in front of him.

"It's a relief to escape from the crowd." Misato bit her straw.

Zhou Fangzun didn't answer.He could see that Misato had something else to say.

"Just now... when I saw the students sitting in the classroom..." Misato turned her head and looked out the window, "I always feel that their world is really simple."

"How to say."

"Hmm..." Misato shook the ball of smoothie in the glass, thinking about the words, "Those who enjoy youth and campus life, do they know that other people living in the same space as themselves are What have you been through?"

Opening the conversation is like a quicksand bottle with a leaky bottom.Misato pushed the quilt aside.

"It's like a person with a happy family, who doesn't know the pain of a person with an unfortunate family. People who say 'enjoy youth' and 'enjoy life', do you know that some people have no way to do this " Misato rested her head on her flat arm, "It seems like Jiu Wozhi... or... you. Different identities cause many helpless choices. Do they know it?"

Zhou Fangzun was silent for a while, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Suddenly wavered for a moment." I closed my eyes, "Suddenly felt that 'I don't belong to their world at all. If that's the case, why don't I just give up.'...For a moment, I had such a thought."

"Fool." Zhou Fangzun picked up the cup and drank the lemonade in it in one gulp, "Give up here, and the previous efforts will be in vain."

"I know..." The voice was muffled by the buried arm, "I know...but..."

What exactly is the point of these efforts.

"You also have... your own happiness." He said it awkwardly.Zhou Fangzun is not very good at comforting people.

"Huh?" He seemed to hear something strange.Misato looked up from her arms.

"'I also have my own happiness.'" Zhou Fangzun suddenly seemed to understand.Then there was a little warmth on Quiet's face, "Does that old woman occasionally say something useful?"

"Sensei Kushina said?"

"Yeah." Zhou Fangzun propped up his chin with one hand, "During the first year of high school, he once told me that."

"Hmm..." the tone was drawn out, "I always think that she... Kushina-sensei... is really an amazing teacher."

His eyes fell on her smiling face, and then turned away again.

"So, don't give up on this." He said in an orderly tone, "Did you hear me?"
