Manyo's Invitation to Maple Red Chapter

One of them is still looking forward to meeting you

"Maple sleeves rise in sorrow,"

"Gods have lived in the age of all people for a hundred years,"

"Autumn Mountain Falls Tang Hong."

"There are deer stepping on red leaves,"

"Travel alone in the mountains."

"Yo Yo Ming can't stop,"

"It's a sad autumn right now."

Autumn in Beijing is clear and deserted.

The blue sky reveals the ultramarine blue dotted in porcelain and ancient paintings, outlining the outline of the building.The crowd on the street came and went with expressions on their faces. On the subway across the city, they stared blankly at the city of thousands of years through the stained glass windows.

And it is in this city that you are sitting in a cafe at the foot of Fragrant Hills, a famous place to enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery, ordering a cup of your favorite coffee as always, leaning on the soft back of the chair, turning While reading "Xiao Cang Hundred People One Poem", he raised his head drowsily and stared at the decoration hanging from the ceiling of the cafe.

"Hello," the waiter nodded slightly to you with a polite and elegant smile, "Please accept this for now, we will collect it after the meal is delivered."

You blinked, and there was a plush kitten looking at you innocently on the table.

"Okay." You nodded, and gently rubbed the kitten's cheek with your fingers, "It's so cute."

"Thank you very much." The waiter paused and showed you a sly smile, "—then, please give us a good review later."

You: "...Okay, okay."

After the waiter left, you closed the Wakabook, sighed, and stared blankly at the dark blue sky outside the window.

After the trip to Changbai Mountain, you finally feel that something you lost has come back to you.Abedo took everyone in Mond City to say goodbye to you and entered the tunnel again; after you explained the situation to the administrator, please ask him to leave the diary in Tianchi: and you also ended your long vacation and returned to the company to continue working.

Before I knew it, another five months had passed.There was no movement in the tunnel, as if it had never existed.

But this time, you won't feel anxious and helpless anymore.

You stayed here alone, calmly and methodically completing one task after another.You have undertaken five major exhibitions by yourself, and even participated in the planning of a national-level exhibition.You have been promoted several times, and you have also experienced many setbacks and difficulties.You meet many people, some help you, some frame you, but you will not be afraid anymore.

You will no longer doubt your memory.You are confident in yourself, and you know that your travels are real.

Even if no one in this world remembers those things except you, they do exist.

You won't worry anymore, but you won't forget every bit of your trip——

——Five months ago, before Abedo opened the tunnel, he looked at you quietly and put a sun flower in your hand.

"...Abedo?" You looked at him suspiciously.

"The situation in the tunnel is very unstable." His expression was calm. "The cracks grow larger, bringing in elemental forces that are too difficult to control. As you can see, it can bring us strength and make us stronger—— "

"—can also easily cause disaster and destruction."

You moved your lips, imagining if that tunnel appeared in a residential urban area—

Seeing your terrified expression, Abedo smiled gently, and patted your shoulder with some relief: "Don't worry, I won't let that happen. That's why I followed you this time." Come here. Of course, it turns out..."

You shudder at the thought of the devastation wrought by gigantic avalanches twisting in strange shapes in the air.

"...So, until the problem is solved, I won't open the tunnel again." Abedo paused, his expression softened a bit, "So, I need you to take this Yanghua with you, and wait until I get rid of all the hidden dangers." Come to you again, can you do it?"

"……it is good."

The door of the cafe was pushed open, and the wind chimes hanging on the door collided with each other, making a crisp sound.You pulled away from your memories, and silently took out the Yanghua from your pocket.

Five months have passed, although you have always cherished this Yanghua, but normally, time will leave traces on any object—of course, including you—but this Yanghua But nothing changed.

It is still the same, shining with stars and silver, like the whiteness of the boundless snowfield, intertwined with the shining gold of gold, the outline is sharp and delicate, with a touch of coldness and rationality unique to metal.

You kept your agreement and kept it with you all the time.

but……

...the person who gave it to you hasn't shown up for five months.

The pendulum of the clock and the hour hand swayed rigidly, and the cafe fell into a strange silence in the afternoon.The child next door is using the computer to take online classes, a group of college students next door seem to be working hard for group assignments, and next door next door, two men seem to be talking about their ideals.

However, it seemed to have fallen into a certain kind of silence.

You opened "Xiaocang Hundred People One Poem" again, and after swipe "あしびきの山鸟の尾のしだり..." you paused slightly, sighed, and looked out the window at the blooming autumn.

Came here for work.You undertook the autumn exhibition "Autumn Wind Appreciation" and decided to use maple leaves as the theme.

In fact, at the beginning, the group did put forward many other ideas.For example, "Harvest" and the like; but you insisted on maintaining the theme of Red Maple, and finally came up with a complete proposal before the other party, and finally finalized the theme.

yes.Before you know it, you have come a long way and met so many people this year.You have climbed from a small employee who is facing the crisis of being fired to a position where you can directly make decisions in the group, and you can independently undertake big exhibitions that you could not have imagined before...

...It turns out that so many things have already happened.

You rubbed your sore temples, forcing your thoughts back to the page again.

"Okuyama に 红叶ふみわけ音く鹿の声..."

You took out a new notebook and wrote the keywords of "Wu Sorrow", "One Period One Meeting" and "Liao Luo" on it, and sighed slightly.

You chose maple leaves as the theme. On the one hand, you really like autumn maple leaves, but on the other hand...

...Or more or less, because you want to fulfill your promise?

Even if the other party may no longer remember, even if various reasons make this agreement impossible to be fulfilled...

...Even if it came from a willful "selfishness".

While turning another page, you unconsciously stroked the plush kitten with your fingers...

……and many more.

You blinked, as if you finally woke up from your drowsy state.

...the cat just now...

...is it moving?

But... is this just a plush toy?

You collected yourself, and carefully approached the kitten again with your fingers...

…and then, it literally rubs against your finger.

You: "..." Did you rub it?

kitten:"……"

You: "..." You rubbed against each other, right? !

kitten:"……"

You: "..." Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~

You quickly withdrew your hand, and looked at the white cat in front of you with some horror.A cunning look seemed to flash in its pair of glass eyes, and it shook its tail briskly at you, then jumped off the table briskly by itself, and ran all the way to the side door.

You rubbed your eyes in disbelief.

That... that... that fluffy kitten ran away?

Are you really tired from work, and then have hallucinations...?

But for some reason, you didn't call for the waiter.

The people around were doing their own things, and the sudden movement of the plush kitten didn't seem to attract anyone's attention.

So, after a few seconds of hesitation, you stood up in a hurry, just like Alice in a fairy tale chasing a rabbit with a pocket watch, and ran after the white cat all the way to the door.

"There is only a lonely shadow in an empty room, accompanied by countless streamers."

You pass by a child who is taking an online class, and he seems to be thinking hard about a math problem.

You think about the days and nights when you wrestled with the data.

"How many sleepless nights, who is more sympathetic?"

You pass college students working on group assignments who seem to be scratching their heads over a project.

You think of that day, when you were busy working on an exhibition proposal until midnight, you fell asleep in the living room exhausted and satisfied, and you clinked glasses together in the hot pot restaurant when you succeeded.

"The lovesickness between the two places is bitter, and the wind and rain have already filled the city."

You pass two young men talking loudly.They talked about some outrageous statistics and unrealistic dreams, but their eyes sparkled.

You paused and continued walking forward.

Along the way, I have really experienced so many things.

I……

...Have you become a better version of yourself?

Is there still... any regrets?

"I will never regret it..."

You push open the back door, only to see an empty grass field...

...and a maple tree.

Clusters of red maples are clustered on the trees, spreading to the sky like brilliant and dense clouds.As the wind blows, pieces of red leaves fall from the trees.

You walked under the maple tree, raised your head and looked up at the red maple in a daze.As the vision blurred, those maple leaves seemed to turn into little cat's claws.

"Sacrificing one's life will never regret it,"

"I hope..."

A maple leaf fell from the tree, and when you subconsciously wanted to turn your body sideways, a pair of hands stretched out from your side at this moment, holding the maple leaf lightly first.

"There is your breath in the wind..."

You trembled slightly, turned around subconsciously, and saw those red eyes with a warm smile.

"I knew it was you who came."

"I made a promise with you that we will meet again when Maple Leaf is red..."

He put the maple leaf in your palm, his white hair swayed gently in the wind, and his red eyes were full of warm smiles.

"So, I'm here for the appointment."

"I will never regret it..."

"...I still look forward to seeing you again."
