Sumire Tohsaka

Tohsaka Sumire walked down the corridor alone.Because the abdominal injury has not healed, she can only hold on to the wall and walk slowly with her weak feet.

Rin also said that he would help her, but she refused.

You can't always push the troublesome things to your sister.

not to mention……

If I started it on my own, I have to finish it myself.

The corridor is not long, at least not as long as the Tohsaka family's foreign-style house in Fuyuki.But the weakness of her body makes every step she takes feel very long.

After finally walking to the guest room, she put her hand on the doorknob, but she couldn't press it down for a long time.

【Is this really good? 】

There was a voice that echoed in the depths of her consciousness.

That is--

[Don't you still have a hole card that can change this deadlock? 】

She didn't need to turn her head to feel that something was watching her from behind.

Red……

The red death was watching from behind her.

Like persuasion, like coaxing, that thing silently told her behind her——

[Make a wish. 】

Make a wish.

As long as you make a wish, your wish can come true.

Yes, even if it is to distort reality, modify the laws of the world, reintegrate the tree of life from the source - your wish will be fulfilled.

Even the completely impossible wish of "being together forever" can become a reality.

There is no cost and no restrictions.

Just "think".

Unlike what most people think, and what everyone thinks, the world will unconditionally fulfill any of your wishes.

If you want to be with someone forever, the other person will always love you.Even if you want him to die a thousand times, this love will not change in the slightest.

Those who want to hinder you will give up, those who refuse to give up will be eliminated, and those who cannot be eliminated will be killed... No matter what, no one will be able to hinder your relationship.

Even if you become enemies of the world because of this, the world will be rebuilt for you and become a gentle world that "will never let you be separated".

All obstacles will be crushed, and all impossibilities will become possible. Even if it is a miracle that is completely impossible to achieve according to common sense, it will be given to you for free.

As long as you make a wish here.

"..."

Sumire Tohsaka turned her back to the voice, and turned the doorknob for a long time.

——But then, what will Soya Touji become?

As she thought about it, she turned her head, and the corridor behind her was empty.No one was watching her, there was nothing there.

Maybe that voice was just an auditory hallucination from her unwilling heart, an illusion caused by excessive blood loss.

She withdrew her gaze, pushed open the door, and smiled at Touji Sogu.

"Are you ok?"

Under the silvery moonlight, the white-haired boy was sitting on the single bed. He was wearing a coat. The moonlight fell on his face, making that beautiful face even paler.He seemed to want to drink water, leaning over to get the water glass on the bedside table, the sleeves of his shirt slid up, revealing his thin wrists.

Sumire Tohsaka walked to the bed and handed him the water glass.Sogu Touji thanked him softly and took the water glass. She lowered her hand and gently placed it on his right leg, stroking the knee that had been cut by the wind blade through the quilt.

"Is there any pain?" she asked in a low voice.

Sogu Touji shook his head lightly, he put down the water glass, turned sideways and took her hand.

"Are you injured?" He recalled the vague memory at that time, the scene he vaguely saw in the dizziness of blood loss, "I saw you bleeding a lot."

In fact, Soya Touji still doesn't understand what happened. Foreign men in strange clothes attacked them speaking a language he didn't understand—he could only understand to this extent.As for what exactly happened and why the other party did this, he didn't understand at all, and he didn't want to think about it.

Still, there were things he could understand.

One thing is, it turned out that the sight he vaguely felt was not an illusion, and someone had indeed been following Sumire Tohsaka.

One is that Sumire Tohsaka protected him from that person.

Although he doesn't know exactly how she did it, but...he still vaguely remembers the feeling of the girl blocking his body at that time, and the blood wetted his clothes bit by bit.

She was indeed desperately protecting him.He can understand this.

"It's okay." Sumire Tohsaka was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "My injury wasn't serious in the first place, but it's much better after sister's treatment."

Soya Touji also believed Tohsaka Sumire's words when he recalled the incredible girl who used the gem to heal him.He nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

"Well, then I'm at ease."

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Sumire Tohsaka said so, turning her face slightly to avoid Soya Touji's eyes.

"For example, who is that person...and why did he kidnap me...things like that."

Soya Touji thought about it for a while, and then looked into Tohsaka Sumire's eyes, his eyes were so clear and peaceful, it's a matter of course that it doesn't matter.

"As long as you're safe and sound," he said.

Sumire Tohsaka closed her eyes.

Indeed, this is a very Touji Soya style answer.

She suddenly stretched out her hand and hugged Soya Touji from behind.She hugged the young man's thin waist, and pressed her cheek against his thin but smooth butterfly bone. She clasped her arms tightly together until her clenching finger bones turned blue and white.

She buried almost her entire face on his back.Although Soya Touji was taken aback for a moment, he let her go.

The boy's slender fingers rested on the girl's wrist, not to pull it away, but to comfort him, and patted it very lightly.

——I really don’t want to let go.

she thought vaguely.

【Then make a wish, be with this person forever, keep him by your side forever. 】

That voice sounded behind her ears again.

The red death approached from behind, so close that she could feel the bloody breath of death... blowing on her cheeks.

"From a very young age, all my wishes have been fulfilled."

Leaning on Soya Touji's back, Tohsaka Sumire told him a secret she had never told anyone.

"There are no conditions, no restrictions, as long as I think, no matter what kind of wish I can come true." At this point, she even smiled lightly, "For example, if you have any wish right now, just tell me , I am willing to make it come true for you. Whether it is becoming a billionaire overnight, never losing a game of chess in the future, making the outside suddenly spring...all are fine, as long as it is your wish, I will do it Made it for you."

It seemed that it was because he was enduring a smile, the arms surrounding Soya Touji were trembling slightly.

The girl's voice pressed against his ear, speaking softly and gently.

"Although it sounds like a fake, but there is indeed such an unfair thing. Don't worry about what will happen to me, there will be no problems. The so-called miracle is that kind of thing, there is no need to pay a price, it is easy You can do it easily, just 'think'. Look, it's easy, right?"

Except, she would no longer be her.

"So, Touji, do you have a wish to come true?"

With his back facing Red Death, Tohsaka Sumire asked such words.

Even she herself didn't understand why she would ask such a question.

However, Soya Touji spoke in a very normal tone——

"I don't have that desire."

—rejected her.

It's not that he doesn't believe her words, after experiencing such a life and death, even Soya Touji can understand what kind of incredible ability the girl behind her has.Because their lives had been connected in such a short moment, he could feel more realistically than anyone else that what she said was true.

However, he still took it for granted...he looked away in front of this wish.

To say why...

"I don't want anything in particular."

Yes, that's just the reason.

Soya Touji had no interest in the world other than chess. He was not attached to any sensual pleasures, and he had no desire for utilitarianism. In his world, there was only the square chessboard.

And playing chess is just his own business.It cannot be entrusted to anyone, it belongs only to oneself.

The honor of a chess player never allows anyone who has nothing to do with the game to interfere with his own game.

"Yeah, you're that kind of person."

Sumire Tohsaka said with a sigh, and slowly, slowly loosened the hands that had been clasping him tightly.

Just as he could sense that she wasn't lying, she could sense that every word he said was true.

From the very beginning, he had no wish to entrust to her, nothing he wanted from her.

So, at this moment, she knew—this was the end.

Not letting go is not an option.

Even if she can distort to the end, she just doesn't want to distort the existence of this person.

From the first time we met, she was very envious...or rather, she yearned for the world he lived in.

Stable, clear, and beautiful.Like the bottom of a deep, deep lake, it exists peacefully and securely there, there is nothing to worry about, nothing to suffer, it is a matter of course... a gentle world.

She fell in love with a boy with that kind of atmosphere, she wanted to stay by his side, and wanted to live in that kind of world.

Therefore, she can't continue to destroy it.

Sumire Tohsaka raised her hands, gently hugged the boy's shoulders, raised her face with infinite attachment, and buried it deeply in his shoulders and necks.

Surrounded by the winter snow-like atmosphere, the girl closed her eyes and made a wish that was the only one that existed in her heart at this moment.

"Forget everything about me, Soya-senpai."

She whispered that wish softly.

"Then... stay away from all dangers and abnormalities, and live a good and safe life."

Sumire Tohsaka, as Sumire Tohsaka herself, sincerely prays for the happiness of the boy.

Although in that happiness, she will not exist.
