[Comprehensive] Eternal Recorder

On the day of the regional competition, Ryuzaki Sakura called early and pulled Mo out of bed.

Mo rubbed his eyes and walked downstairs, sat down at the dining table, only to be told that Tezuka had left early.Mo suddenly turned his head to look at the clock, only to realize that the first game was only half an hour away.She hurriedly pushed away the bowls and chopsticks in front of her, jumped off the chair, went upstairs with a bang, bang bang, and ran down with a backpack on her back.

Ayana Tezuka took out a small bento and asked Mo to take it with her. Mo took it and stuffed it into her backpack without looking at it. She changed her shoes in a panic, "I'm going out!"

By the time Mo arrives at the venue, the second double has already begun for a while.

Mo saw clearly that the combination representing Qingxue in the field was Taocheng and Echizen, and couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.When she was in school, she accidentally saw the "Introduction to Doubles" in Echizen's bag. She was sure that Echizen had never played doubles.And judging from Taocheng's previous performance on the street tennis court, he doesn't look like someone who has played doubles.

This game looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Seeing Mo coming, Ryuzaki Sakura hurriedly waved to Mo.And also enthusiastically introduced the previous game to Mo.

"...Actually, I'm a little worried. Momoshiro-senpai and Ryoma-kun don't seem to have a good understanding..." At the end, Sakurano Ryuzaki concluded.

Sure enough, the opponent aimed at the gap between Momoshiro and Echizen, and kept scoring. The score had climbed to 2:0, while Momoshiro and Echizen were still arguing over who would catch the ball. They all clutched their foreheads and couldn't bear to watch.

Mo took a step forward, raised his hand to stick it on the barbed wire outside the tennis court, but suddenly withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

"What's the matter, Mo-chan?" Ryuzaki Sakura asked with concern.

Mo shook his head, signaling Sakurano Ryuzaki to focus on the game.

After Ryuzaki Sakurano looked away, Mo lowered his head and stared at his outstretched hands.The feeling just now should not be an illusion. Her hand really didn't seem to find a sense of strength on the barbed wire.In other words, her hand went through the barbed wire!

Mo stretched out his hand again, and under his gaze, the fingertips of his fingers felt the cold touch of the wire.

Mo withdrew his hand and cast his eyes blankly on the field, but his hands clenched into fists by his side.

She remembered what Lin Ziqing said to herself before leaving that day.

——"If you want to leave early, tell me."

Lin Ziqing must have known about her situation a long time ago.But Mo himself just realized it.

Her existence has already begun to be rejected by this world.The reason couldn't be clearer—same as the beginning, because she rejected what she brought to herself through her ability to integrate into the world, and because she rejected it, the world rejected her.

But...but it's only been less than two months, has it reached this level?

How long can you stay here?

Mo looked at the court with a blank face.

"open!"

"combine!"

"Although it is very effective, but this is too..." Ryuzaki Sakura covered her mouth, she was naturally introverted and shy, and she couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe the scene in front of her, while Kosakata Tomika who was beside her had already said quickly come out.

"shameful……"

Mo suddenly came back to his senses.It's embarrassing, really embarrassing.Things that have been confirmed, even experienced once, can still make me so shaken.

shameful……

Mo lowered his head, pursed his lips, and clenched his hands tightly, so hard that his body trembled slightly.

Before I knew it, it seemed that I didn't even know myself...

"Mo-chan, where are you going?" Ryuzaki Sakura shouted in surprise, "Mo-chan, Mo-chan?"

But that thin figure had already run away.

On the high mountain top, on the most prominent branch of the big tree, Mo sat with her knees hugged, the sun shone all over her body, and the warm feeling penetrated from the skin to the depths of her body, as if it was the most gentle comfort.

The eyes that never seemed to reflect anyone's shadow seemed even more hollow, and the blue of the sky floated on the pupils, which seemed to have a permeating sense of falsehood.

The slight sound of footsteps extended from a distance and stopped under the tree.Then, the smoke of the cigarette rose slowly.

"Lin Ziqing."

The young man under the tree still kept his eyes on the distance. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and exhaled slowly.

In his memory, Mo started calling him that from the time he sent the captain into another world.Lin Ziqing.Full name and full surname, no previous intimacy, no hatred or any other too strong emotions.

But most of the time, Mo even omitted the title.It seems that in such a way, you can express your dissatisfaction and awkwardness.

The corners of Lin Ziqing's lips curled up slightly.

"Why are you here?" Mo asked bluntly, with a little impatience in his tone.

"Before asking me why I am here, you should ask why you are here." Lin Ziqing is still the same Lin Ziqing who can stab people with just words, even if the person he is facing is Mo, "Why?" Shaken, Mo?"

Mo lowered his head, but the hands holding each other's arms suddenly tightened.He obviously wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything.

"Whether it's the captain or I, I should have clearly told you more than once. We are different from ordinary people. We have powers that ordinary people don't have. Therefore, don't expect to be able to obtain the happiness of ordinary people - the captain said so Right?" Lin Ziqing sneered at the end, shook his head and smiled mockingly, "I don't want to judge the captain's words, but you have always listened to him very much. Why don't you continue to listen this time?"

Mo bit his lip and spit out a few syllables dryly, "...you are very long-winded."

Lin Ziqing glanced at Mo, smiled and said, "You're running away again."

"Forget it, I don't want to force you." Lin Ziqing suddenly put on a relaxed look, and asked as if he didn't care, "Where do you want to go in the next world, Mo?"

Mo breathed a sigh of relief at Lin Ziqing's concession.So he also returned to his normal state, and replied in a cold tone, "It doesn't matter where you go, I don't care."

"Really?" Lin Ziqing asked meaninglessly.

After a while of silence, Mo suddenly raised his voice and asked, "The imprint on my hand, did you do it on purpose?"

Lin Ziqing's ability had been used on many people, but she was the only one who had such a chaotic ability reaction, so Mo couldn't believe that it had nothing to do with Lin Ziqing.

But Lin Ziqing shook his head with a smile, "No. This was indeed an accident, at least I didn't expect such a result at the time."

However, after such a result appeared, he was very happy.

Mo understood his subtext, turned his head and gave him a hard look, and then snorted dissatisfied.

"Mo! Come down!" Tezuka, who had just walked up the stairs, saw Mo sitting on a tree trunk more than two meters above the ground, even though he had a calm personality, his heart skipped a beat.

Mo glanced at Lin Ziqing who was leaning against the tree and completely hiding himself with the trunk, and jumped down from the tree neatly.

This action made Tezuka startled again.

But before he got angry, Mo took his hand and pulled it forward.

"Auntie Caicai is waiting for us to eat, so go back quickly, brother."

Tezuka stared at Mo's bright smiling face for a while, pushed his glasses, and gave an answer that he didn't know whether it was yes or no.

"what."

When he followed Tezuka down the stairs, Mo took advantage of Tezuka's inattention and looked back, but saw the hem of the beige windbreaker flashing behind the tree, and then disappeared.
