Sumire Tohsaka

Kyoto, Luoshan High School.

"I'm sorry, Akashi-san, but I still ask you to help me at this time."

"It's okay, teacher, this is also the responsibility of the student council president."

Akashi Seijuro said so.

The weekend afternoon should have been the time for students to rest at home or go shopping and play.But for Akashi Seijuro, the president of the student council and head of the basketball club, it is very normal to be at school on weekends.

It was precisely because of this that the teacher entrusted him with such a task—to take the transfer students to visit the school.

"However, it's very rare for students to transfer at this time." The teacher sighed, "It's still from that Liyuan."

"The other party should have their own reasons." Akashi Seijuro didn't care much about this.

What happened at Liyuan Women's College, although the school and the students' families suppressed it in various ways, did not form a large-scale rumor in the outside world, but as the heir of the Akashi family, he has heard some news.

Group bullying leads to student suicide... When this happens, it is normal for parents to want to arrange for their children to transfer schools.

"I heard that she has been studying in Liyuan since elementary school. She was injured in an accident earlier, so her family transferred her to Luoshan." The teacher sighed, "It's a pity, obviously Such a beautiful child... Ah, here we are, Akashi-san."

As the door of the conference room opened, Akashi Seijuro's eyes naturally fell on the girl by the window.

For a moment, Akashi thought he saw the French dolls displayed in the mansion.

"Let me introduce you. This is Sumire Tohsaka, a transfer student. Tohsaka-san, this is Seijuro Akashi, the student council president who is in charge of showing you around the school today. He is a first-year student just like you. If you have any questions, you are welcome. ask him."

"sorry to bother you."

The girl named Tohsaka Sumire leaned slightly, her thick and plump long hair slid down her shoulders, revealing her snow-white neck, the afternoon sun fell on her shoulders through the clear glass window, reflecting the already thin skin It is almost transparent, and even thin light blue blood vessels can be seen.

As the teacher said, she is indeed... a very beautiful person.

"Tohsaka Sumire-san...is that so?" he asked.

"Yes." She said softly.

Perhaps it was because she grew up in the completely isolated environment of Li Yuan since she was a child, her expression seemed inexplicably inhuman in his eyes.It looks like a girl doll that is too delicate and lacks soul.Almost empty beauty.

Before Akashi and the others came, she had been waiting in this conference room for a while, but she could not see any anxiety, expectation, uneasiness, or anticipation from Tohsaka Sumire... She seemed very used to this kind of meaningless waiting and waiting. The slightly languid An Ran seemed out of place with the modern conference room in Luoshan.

"Please come with me." He turned slightly to get out of the way, "Let me take you to confirm the location of the classroom first."

"I see." The girl stood up and walked out with him.

In the empty corridor on the weekend, only the footsteps of the two of them and Akashi's words echoed for a moment.Most of the time, Sumire Tohsaka just echoed politely and gently.

The winter sun fell on the snow, and the clear light of the snow reflected on her face, reflecting those beautiful eyes like noble gems, and the long eyelashes showed a kind of beauty under the light. Almost unreal colors.

Because she was only visiting the campus and hadn't received Luoshan's uniform yet, Sumire Tohsaka was wearing a purple fur skirt today.The clothes that might look bloated on others made her slender figure even more. Against the backdrop of the bandages wrapped around her lonely wrists, she showed a fragile beauty.

"Has Tohsaka-san studied in Liyuan since childhood?"

Akashi noticed that when she walked, the hem of her skirt didn't sway with her footsteps, such a dignified and elegant demeanor was rarely seen even among the female students in Liyuan he had seen.

He couldn't help thinking like something out of a classic novel or an old-fashioned movie.

"Yes." Sumire Tohsaka's voice was soft, "Since the age of seven."

"Then you should know that transferring to another school at this time... is actually not a suitable choice."

It's like dragging a big purple lotus from a small teahouse into the snow.

Akashi Seijuro has also heard of the teaching method of Reien Women's Academy.An environment that is extremely stable and quiet, and will never change.It was originally a foreign land isolated from the world, and the girls who grew up there since childhood were like flowers that grew up in a completely sterile secret room, and it was not surprising what would happen if they were suddenly transplanted to the outside world.

Is it because the sun is too dazzling, or is it because the girl's figure is too delicate?Words that should not have been spoken from the standpoint of a one-sided relationship were just said like this.

"Maybe so."

Sumire Tohsaka smiled slightly, and turned her eyes from the tree shadow outside the window to him.It was only then that Akashi realized that she had a pair of clear eyes, which were too awe-inspiring green, showing a frightening beauty.

"But if I continue to stay there... One day, I will want to destroy everything."

When she said this, her tone was still soft, but it made people feel a strange firmness.It seems that it is a matter of course.

A faint chill climbed up Akashi Seijuro's spine, but a smile appeared on his lips.

"Really?" He looked into her eyes. "That sounds pretty good, too."

It was the destructive desire that slipped through his mind from time to time in the past suppressed day after day.In the gaps between conversations with his father, black noises occasionally leaked from consciousness.

are of the same kind.

He confirmed it.

Sumire Tohsaka held a small notebook in his hand, recording Akashi Seijuro's introduction. After being led to visit the cafeteria, teaching building, and infirmary, the two walked all the way to the library.

The library of Luoshan High School is very large, not much more than that of ordinary universities. Akashi Seijuro led Tohsaka Sumire from the first floor, and introduced the functions of each area to her in a low voice.There were also some students studying in the library on weekends. In order not to disturb them, the two of them walked through the bookshelves, and their footsteps were deliberately quiet.

"Didn't expect there to be books by Jacob Plozick here, too."

When passing the foreign language bookshelf, Sumire Tohsaka suddenly raised her hand and brushed the spine of a row of books with her fingertips, "And Klaus Pope...it's very complete."

"It was donated by former alumni. It is said that picture books are very helpful for the introductory learning of small languages. There are very few students who learn Czech in school, and there are not many people who borrow such books... Have you ever studied Czech?"

"I am very interested in languages ​​from all over the world, but I pay attention to this because I am a fan of this author's books." She withdrew her hand, "Although he often changes his pen name, his personal characteristics are very distinctive, so I read it every time. You can recognize it once you see it.”

"Do you like picture books?" Akashi Seijuro thought for a few seconds, "In that case, there should be authors you like in the art section on the second floor. I remember that the first edition of Asahi Haruka's collection of works was included there, because it is rare, borrowed There were quite a few people, and she seemed to be very popular among the students."

"That's unnecessary..." Tohsaka Sumire's gaze wandered, "Compared to this, what's on the third floor?"

Although the topic turned rather bluntly, Akashi Seijuro moved his steps accordingly.

"The third floor? Most of the books there are professional books, and few people go there. Do you want to go up and have a look?"

Probably because he doesn't like the best-selling picture book author, Akashi Seijuro thought understandingly.

"That... President Akashi?"

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, a girl wearing glasses ran up and hurriedly bowed to Akashi Seijuro.

"Some things need to be discussed with you..."

Akashi frowned slightly, turned his gaze to Sumire Tohsaka, she turned her head slightly, and gave him a gentle and polite smile.

"I want to go to the third floor to have a look."

"I'm sorry." Akashi Seijuro nodded at her, and left with the girl.

Sumire Tohsaka touched the few Czech picture books for the last time, and then walked towards the third floor.

"Really..."

She thought that her future school would actually collect Asahi Haruka's works, so she couldn't help covering her face with the open notebook, and just imagining seeing those books in the library immediately felt her cheeks burn.

"Who wants to read my own work." She whispered.

The third floor is dominated by various reference books, such as medicine, chemistry, physics, sports injuries, chess records, dictionaries... It is full of books that no one except teachers and some senior enthusiasts will read.The air is filled with the smell of decaying pages. Although the library will be cleaned regularly, books that no one cares about have their own unique smell.

A book that no one reads will gradually die.

Few people would go up to this floor on purpose, so the third floor was extremely empty, even the bookshelves were placed very empty, so quiet that only the sound of their own footsteps could be heard.

Sumire Tohsaka was walking among the forest-like bookshelves, and when she turned to the next bookshelf, she stopped suddenly.

The voice disappeared.

The girl silently opened her eyes wide.

——The moment I saw that person, time seemed to stop flowing.

The white-haired boy sat there quietly, with a roll of yellowed books in his hands, his chin resting on the other hand, and a wooden chess piece on his fingertips. The sun fell on his beautiful side face, outlining a faint golden color. contour.

He just appeared there, but the world was silent for it.

——like a white bird with huge wings that landed on a frozen lake.

she thinks.

"Clap."

The subtle sound of the chess pieces falling made the stagnant time flow again.

Different from the noisy males of the same age, the teenager even breathed silently.There is only the soft sound of chess pieces falling, like a silent snowfall.The young man's eyes only fell on the chessboard, whether it was the swaying branches by the window, the swaying sunlight on the scroll, or her who was silently looking at him at this end... none of them could attract his attention.

At this moment, a small wish naturally appeared in Sumire Tohsaka's heart.

【Want to be seen by him】

【want to talk to him】

【want to……】

then--

The boy, who was supposed to be unable to hear anyone's voice, suddenly heard the girl's voice.

"Hello." She smiled slightly, and leaned slightly towards him, "Can I sit here?"

In Soya Touji's dead world, a voice resounded like this.
