Sumire Tohsaka

Although Qing Shao Nayan once said that "winter is the best time in the morning", for ordinary people, it is too difficult to leave the warm bed in the winter morning.Just putting your feet into the bone-piercing cold air makes you tremble, wishing you could bury yourself in the blanket and never go out.

Sumire Tohsaka is no exception.

As for the daughter who was lying on the bed, mothers all over the world were very ruthless—Ms. Kui came over and threw off her quilt neatly.

"If you don't get up, you'll be late, Sumire."

↑Once again, mothers all over the world are very ruthless towards daughters who lie in bed, even Yamato Nadeko is no exception.

And this ruthless behavior made Tohsaka Sumire couldn't help complaining until she got to the breakfast table.

"It's too much for my mother to actually lift the quilt away."

"But you wouldn't be getting up without it."

One hit KO.Sumire Tohsaka bowed her head with a "woo".

"Okay, let's have breakfast." Mrs. Kui put the bowl of rice in front of her little daughter, and her tone became a little gentler, "It takes more than 40 minutes to take the tram from here to school, so I can't do without getting up earlier. "

"I know, but..."

It is human instinct to want to stay in bed!

Telling the truth in his heart would probably get "a disapproving look from his mother", so Sumire Tohsaka had to eat breakfast obediently with her head down.

The Tohsaka family has always had the habit of not eating or sleeping. The breakfast table of the mother and daughter was very quiet, only the voice of the female anchor who broadcast the morning news on the TV echoed.

"A new victim of the eye-gouging incident appeared, ■■■, 5 years old..."

"The skyscraper in Mihua Town was blasted again, one person was killed and nine were injured..."

"The conflict between the bad boy groups 'G Boy' and 'Red Angel' in Ikebukuro is becoming more and more intense. I would like to remind you that please don't wear red and blue clothes to pass through the Ikebukuro area in the near future..."

"There has been a sharp increase in the number of deaths from high-rise buildings among children. I would like to remind schools and parents to pay attention to the safety education of children..."

...In short, it seems that everything is very bad news.

Sumire Tohsaka put down her chopsticks and wiped her lips with a handkerchief.

"Then, I'm going out first."

"Remember to wear this." Mrs. Kui stood up, and clasped a gemstone bracelet on her wrist, "Rin specially made it for you, it has the function of body protection and exorcism."

She tapped the aquamarine on the bracelet, and a smile appeared on her face.

"And this is the lucky stone of March, which can increase good luck."

"Will it be said by the disciplinary committee?" Sumire Tohsaka showed a sweet and embarrassed expression, "It seems that the school rules do not allow students to wear jewelry..."

"It's so dangerous outside now, of course your safety is the most important thing." Mrs. Kui patted her little daughter's head, "Sakura seems to have helped make this together, it's sisters' wishes, so you can wear it."

"Okay." Sumire Tohsaka touched the gem, with a small smile on his face, "Then I will pray that the disciplinary committee and the dean will not find out."

When leaving the house, Sumire Tohsaka was still subconsciously stroking the jeweled bracelet.Amethysts, yellow diamonds, rubies... the person responsible for infusing magic and magic into these gems is Rin, and the person responsible for weaving them delicately and inlaying them into fashionable styles that young girls will like... probably Sakura.

Sakura has always been more careful than Rin, and she also likes manual work.Sumire Tohsaka could almost imagine her weaving this bracelet under the light... Maybe even the size of the gems was specially told to Rin by her, after all, jewelry that is too exaggerated is a bit too eye-catching.

"Don't bully my sister too much..." Tohsaka Sumire pressed the bracelet to her lips in distress, "It's very embarrassing to infuse magic power into such a small gem, and make it a self-searching passive spell... Xiao Sakura just likes to make difficult problems for her sister."

However, this kind of gentleness with a bit of evil heart is Sakura's style.

The train departed from Demachiyanagi, and there were very few people at the departure station. Sumire Tohsaka found a seat and sat down, took out the library copy of "Girl Apprentice" and began to read.She has read Osamu Dazai's novels many times, but... Sure enough, she should read "The Female Apprentice" at this time.

Immersed in the restless and warm world of a 14-year-old girl, she can still see the news broadcast silently on the electronic screen out of the corner of her eye.

"The girl killed her parents and ate her brother's arm because of 'demon possession', and is now being taken into custody and treated forcibly..."

"I put on the shirt I made yesterday, and I embroidered a small white rose on the chest. When I put on the shirt, the embroidered flower will disappear, and no one will know. I am a little proud of it."①

"The series of falling incidents in the Wutiao Building was repeated, No.9 deceased appeared, and the police ruled out the possibility of homicide..."

"I took off my glasses and tried to smile. My eyes are also beautiful, blue and clear. I probably stared at the beautiful sky at dusk for a long time, so my eyes have also become beautiful." ②

Reality and books are intertwined, making it difficult to tell which side is fiction.Is it the side full of death and impermanence?Or is it the lively but restless side?

In the early morning when the drowsiness has not completely subsided, Sumire Tohsaka is sitting in the tram, listening to all kinds of noises that she couldn't feel in the Rien Garden in the past. In the closed school like a vacuum, there is no access to such a huge amount of information. Surrounded by words, colors, images and sounds, a flash of enlightenment flashed in her mind.

She really lives in this dangerous and unstable society, even though this world is more unpredictable and capricious than girls' emotions and fantasies.

The moment she realized this, Sumire Tohsaka suddenly felt a certain gaze.

However, when she turned around, she found nothing.

... an illusion?

she thinks.

The sound of the arrival signal interrupted her train of thought. The girl picked up her schoolbag and squeezed off the tram with the hurrying office workers and students—it was time to transfer.

After she had left completely, the man put down the newspaper and stroked his pocket thoughtfully.

...surprisingly sharp.

he thinks.

You have to think of some other way to start.

Tohsaka Sumire didn't notice all this, she just happily turned the gemstone bracelet on her wrist, and put her arm around the boy.

"Sure enough, the lucky stone brings good luck."

She smiled and looked at the white-haired boy.

"Soya-senpai... No, Touji, good morning. I was lucky enough to meet you on the train in the morning."

"Good morning, Sumire."

The boy nodded lightly, and made room for an empty seat, so that the girl could easily stand in the gap between him and the tram door, the small space separated by him.

The pupils behind the lens glanced at a middle-aged man who was watching the girl with malicious eyes without any emotion. He turned sideways, blocked those unclear sights with his body, and took out the chess record to read again.

"No."

But the girl held his wrists. Her soft hands had never undergone any labor, and were so delicate that they were almost like the touch of a baby's skin.

With her back against the tram door, she raised her face slightly to look at him, after Sogu Touji's gaze was attracted by her, she suddenly raised her hand, and quickly and gently took off the glasses from his face.

"Sumire...?"

Soya Touji is not the kind of boring boy who "actually has very good eyesight but only wears flat glasses to look cool". His glasses were taken off suddenly, making his vision blurred, and everything in front of him turned into colorful patches. Even the handwriting on the chess record became blurred.

He couldn't help closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, a face suddenly became clear in front of him.

It turned out that it was Sumire Tohsaka who stood on tiptoe and approached him.The girl's beautiful face is like an exquisite French doll, and even the skin is a little transparent under the light, like the best porcelain.But now, with a slightly annoyed and helpless expression on this face, he smiled slightly at him.

"You have to watch me." Even if she said such capricious words, she was extraordinarily cute, "You can read the chess records after you get off the bus, but you will be separated temporarily when you arrive at school... At least for now, you have to watch me Bar?"

"..."

No one can resist the lovely girl saying such lovely words in a lovely tone.Not even Soya Touji.He obediently put down the game record and watched Sumire Tohsaka quietly.As she said, carefully, seriously, only watching her.

Under the clear and straightforward eyes of the young man, the girl was the one who felt embarrassed first, a rose-like blush climbed up her cheeks, and finally she lowered her head first, and hurriedly put her glasses on the bridge of his nose, He covered his face and bent down.

"Forget it...forget it...you should read the chess record...I won't bother you..."

"..."

Soya Touji straightened his glasses in a daze, and stayed there for quite a while.

Are all girls this weird?

↑A sinful person who is not aware of the lethality of his own focused gaze.

but……

"Sumire." The boy honestly stated the results of his observations, "You look beautiful today."

"... Mmm... Hmmm."

"The uniform suits you well."

"Really... really don't need to say any more..."

"?"

Looking at the girl whose ears and the back of her neck were already red, the boy was once again confused.

↑It is a heinous crime for a person who does not realize how lethal such words are in his own voice.

Sumire Tohsaka could only choose to open the library again to hide her blushing face, but she couldn't immerse herself in the text anyway.Seeing her like this, Sogu Touji had no choice but to take out the chess record again, but when he held up the game record, his hand suddenly paused.

It's a bit strange.

His eyes turned to the tram car, and carefully looked at everyone in the car.

The subtle sense of incongruity and unnaturalness is always ringing in his mind, like a small electric sound.It's like every time a bad chess is played, there is always a feeling that the skin on the fingertips is peeled off when the chess piece is released.Tiny intuitions, dissonances like hints.

But there was no abnormal person in his field of vision.

...I always feel that someone is watching here, is it an illusion?

he thinks.

The right hand fell unconsciously, and lightly rested on the girl's shoulder. It was a gesture of protection that even Touji Soya didn't notice.

"After school, can you accompany me to buy a mobile phone?"

His gaze remained on the inside of the carriage, but he was speaking to Sumire Tohsaka.

"I don't know the function and model of the phone."

"sure."

The girl raised her eyes from behind the library, and quietly looked at the snow-white skin on his chin. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to reach out and touch it.

However, there are still some tiny doubts lingering in her mind.

"But... why do you suddenly want to buy a mobile phone?"

"It's still too inconvenient to contact." He said naturally, "If you have a mobile phone, you can find me anytime, right?"

Sumire Tohsaka blushed completely this time.She put the library book on her face to block the blush that flew over her cheeks like a sunray.

"..."

It's too foul to say that.

She thought with some annoyance, but for some reason, her heart rose sweetly as if filled with honey wine.

"If there are strange people staring at you, please tell me, Sumire."

Soya Touji exhorted.
