Raiders who do not intend to raid

If it weren't for the matter of choosing gifts, Miyano Yayoi might never realize how little he knows about Miyano Natsumi.

Yukimura Seiichi and Fuji Shusuke asked several questions, but the black-haired girl couldn't answer them.

And the questions are very simple, all about the boy's preferences and interests.The girl pursed her lips, spoke with silent eyebrows, her black eyes were deep, and her originally beautiful face seemed to have dimmed in such an instant.

The flaxen-haired boy squinted his eyes, unable to see joy or sadness. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth to break the strange silence.

"Since Miyano-san doesn't know what the other party likes, then prepare something that is so obvious that people can tell what you like at a glance."

Yukimura Seiichi also nodded in agreement, and then set his sights on Miyano Yayoi, seeing that she obviously blamed herself, she frowned, with a warm smile like a spring breeze on her face.

"It's rare, Yayoi who looks like this."

The iris-haired boy seemed to be sighing something, but his face slowly suppressed the smile, his eyes looked straight at the girl, and he spoke to Miyano Yayoi in a serious tone for the first time.

"I've discovered it before, Yayoi, you seem to be extra gentle and tolerant towards anyone who you agree to care about, but those who really want to understand, or realize that they should go into the other person's heart, But very few…”

"If only gentleness is given, but no action is given..."

Yukimura Seichi said so, his voice was gloomy, a little muffled and hoarse, and it was not at all the same as the usual warm and moist jade. When you looked up at him, you would find that his eyes were also heavy, and all the light and fine fragments seemed to be swept away. Into the endless vortex, there is no way to escape.

"It's a sharper blade than indifference."

The boy's words made Yayoi Miyano stunned for a long time, the hands hanging on both sides were clenched unconsciously, with a little strength, the nails were deeply embedded in the palm, the slight pain made her wake up a little, and the joints were also white.

Not only Miyano Yayoi, but even Shusuke Fuji who was on the side was taken aback by such a serious Yukimura Seiichi, opened his ice blue eyes, and looked at his friend with complicated eyes like this for the first time.

"Oh, the tone is a bit serious unconsciously. But, I believe that Yayoi will be able to understand me, right?"

The original coldness and seriousness disappeared in an instant.The boy with iris purple hair slowly raised the corners of his lips, his smile was as bright and beautiful as when we first met.

It just draws a slight arc, as if the surrounding temperature and seasons have changed.It was still in midsummer, but because of a smile at this moment, it seemed as if he had returned to the early spring.

"..."

In the end, Miyano Yayoi did not reply to Yukimura Seiichi. She lowered her eyebrows, her long eyelashes trembled, her eyes were deep and dark, and her lips were pursed. She just stood like this, and Fujisuke was a little worried. The boy's words were too heavy for the girl to bear.

The black-haired girl slowly let go of the clenched hands hanging on both sides, raised her eyes and stared straight at the two, her fair face was still expressionless, but her eyes were very light, as if trying to understand something relieved.

"Miyano-san..."

When the flaxen-haired boy opened his mouth like this, and wanted to say something, Miyano Yayoi shook his head at him, indicating that he was fine.

Then he spoke towards Yukimura Seiichi.

"I see...Thank you, Jingshi."

"And Fuji-kun, thank you for accompanying me to choose things today, and for giving me so many useful suggestions... But, now, I already know what I should give..."

【Comrade Miyano...】

When Yukimura Seiichi spoke at the very beginning, 2020 had been silent and did not speak, as if he had also fallen into thinking like Miyano Yayoi. At this time, after hearing the girl's words, he opened his mouth somewhat unexpectedly.

Miyano Yayoi looked at them, and then bowed slightly to express his gratitude to the young man. Because of this action, the long black hair covered the young girl's cheeks. Instantly softened.

Clear, like a cloudless blue sky.

However, this beauty is like a flash in the pan, and no one sees it.

……

2017 has been staying with Miyano Natsumi at home, because the girl didn't come back very late, he was a little worried, the silver-haired boy leaned against the black-haired boy, looking at the door from time to time, as if wishing to see through a hole .

In 2017, I didn't worry too much about Miyano Yayoi's safety. After all, it is very rare in this plane to harm her existence. However, I still wonder why she hasn't come back so late.

As soon as the black-haired girl walked into the hall, she saw two teenagers sitting on the sofa, one leaning on the black-haired boy, feeling a bit listless.But the moment he saw her, his blue eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and ran towards her.

"Well, Yayoi, you came back so late..."

Being hugged so tightly, Miyano Yayoi just quickly stabilized his unsteady body, then raised his hand to stroke his soft hair, but his black eyes looked towards 2017.

The black-haired boy froze for a moment, then avoided the girl's sight as if a little embarrassed, but walked in the direction of Miyano Yayoi.

"When I left today...do you have something you want to say to me?"

Yayoi Miyano lowered her eyes, her gaze was very soft, she just looked at the handsome silver-haired boy indifferently, as if everything had become quiet and the passage of time had come to a standstill.

Asked like this, Miyano Natsumi didn't answer immediately, she pursed her lips in embarrassment, her blue eyes flickered, and her face couldn't help but slowly blush.

But thinking of something again, his eyes dimmed.

[Comrade Miyano, what's wrong?Why do I feel that Xia Hai's mood seems... a little down? 】

I don't know if it's an illusion, but because 2020 and Miyano Yayoi's senses are mostly connected, and all the emotions of Miyano Natsumi, in a sense, the girl who exists as the "master" of the boy can also be Keenly felt the changes in his mood.

Of course, 2017 knew why Miyano Natsumi was acting like this. At this time, he felt a little speechless about Miyano Yayoi's rough nerves, and looked at the girl with helplessness in his eyes.

With hindsight, the black-haired girl also realized why the boy was suddenly so depressed, she raised her brows and eyes a little funny, and said in a low voice.

"I know...today is a very special day for us...just now, I want to ask if you have something to say to me..."

She knew that the boy didn't just want to remind himself whether he still remembered this day, he still had something to say later...

"..."

The silver-haired boy didn't speak, this time it was truly silent.He raised his eyes and glanced at 2017 beside him. The black-haired boy also felt a little surprised, but after he seemed to understand something instantly, he smiled faintly at Miyano Natsumi.

A very faint smile, as if encouraging him.

[Oh, oh, senior also knows it! QAQ, that means, only Comrade Miyano and I don’t know...]

2020 is a little eager to know what they are communicating with their eyes, and Miyano Yayoi is also a little puzzled.

"Miyo..."

The silver-haired boy spoke in this way, his voice was gloomy, with a rare hoarseness.

It was the first time for Miyano Yayoi to see such a serious looking boy, and she couldn't help but slow down her breathing for a moment, listening quietly like this.

"I've been meaning to tell you..."

"Thank you for picking me up on that rainy day...Actually, I remember everything. Even though I haven't grown to a certain extent, the things before... are all engraved in my mind, and I can't forget them. I Not human, as long as what happened to me..."

"Together with the date, the weather, and even the faces of those who hate me, even if it's just a flash, I remember..."

It was originally very sad, something that went deep into the bone marrow, but apart from the slight tremor in the voice when he first spoke, the more he went to the back, the calmer he became, without any waves.

But Miyano Yayoi was not as relaxed as the boy said, she pursed her lips, her hands were not clenched into fists, her nails were embedded in the flesh, and if she tried harder, she would bleed.

After 2017 saw it, he walked over, stretched out a hand with sharp bones to gently cover her hand, gently opened her fingers embedded in the palm, his eyes were clear and soft, and he just looked at the girl quietly.

【senior……】

Such a gentle senior, such an ordinary time, made 2020 inexplicably envious.

The silver-haired boy kept saying that in those times when he was abandoned, the girl was the only light in his life, as if a ray of light came slowly and with difficulty from the gap in the darkness, but... once Entering, it is enough to illuminate the boundless darkness.

Not knowing what to say, Miyano Natsumi slowly raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

"...I accidentally remembered that when Yayoi brought me back, in order to make me move, you kept holding an orange and stood there stupidly and stubbornly for a long time."

"I couldn't move, but I was conscious... and yet, I was thinking bad things...like, 'This guy is going to give up soon, I'm hard to raise, and those people Same, you will lose your patience in a while.'..."

"Those who bought me didn't let me grow up...I've always looked like a child. After a few years, ten years, they're getting tired of me...I can't speak, and sometimes, even move can't do it..."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, but his eyes were clear and blue, and his eyes never left Miyano Yayoi's body for a moment, as if he was watching the whole world, so...

Such concentration makes people cry.

"But... I'm also very grateful for their rejection of me. In this way, I met you."

"Every little bit of being with you is not only because I can't forget it, it has gradually become, even if it is a painful memory, I don't want to forget it..."

"I like, I like Yayoi very much...Even if my body breaks down in the future, my memory will remember you for me...Every time, every day, every night, it's like a slide show, over and over again, Showing..."

At this moment, Miyano Natsumi was extremely grateful that he was not a human being...

Because after the death of human beings, there is really nothing left.But he is different, even if his body decays, even if time flies, his memory is still...

There is still Yu Wen to be nostalgic for.

"...why do you remember so clearly?"

Miyano Yayoi herself didn't realize that her voice had started to become hoarse, but her eyes were not damp at all, and she looked straight at the silver-haired boy in front of her.

"If you just flip through the past like this, you won't grow..."

"Xia Hai, do you know? Although human beings are fragile, they can only live for a hundred years, but... we still have reincarnation, endless life."

The black-haired girl said so, the corners of her lips curled up.

"There will be, more, more, new memories that will never stagnate, filled in, so... no need to hold on to the past. Right, 77?"

2017, who was still silent in Miyano Yayoi's words, was caught off guard by this question, looked down at the girl in front of her, and she also looked up at him like this, her eyes were clear, inside was his entire appearance.

"Um……"

He is a system. Even with a human body, he is still at the truncation of learning about human thinking and everything about human beings, but he can still feel clearly about the girl's emotions.

It is like a flourishing verdant green, slowly growing towering trees in the dry soil, slowly and stubbornly.

……

In fact, the girl decides at the end when it comes to presents.

It is a very careful decision.

2020 and 2017 were also frightened by Yayoi Miyano's decision, and I repeatedly confirmed it in my heart, but the girl is extremely stubborn. Although it didn't have a big impact on her, but... still surprisingly bold.

"Xia Hai..."

The silver-haired boy didn't know what Miyano Yayoi wanted to say, his blue eyes were full of doubts, looking at her like this, he looked a little cute.

"Would you like to be a closer person to me?"

As she said so, she raised her head and touched her head, pursed her lips, her tone was serious.

"...It's deeper than the bond of contract, it's like the kind of bond of flesh and blood..."

Yayoi Miyano said this, but before she finished speaking, the silver-haired boy's face turned red, his handsome face seemed to have been covered with a layer of rouge, unexpectedly bright red and cute.

The slightly raised hair tip is also inexplicably soft.

"No, no, no... This, this is too sudden Yayoi... Although you said that, I am very happy, very happy! But, I, I am not ready yet...////"

[...? ? ? 】

2020 was stunned after hearing Miyano Natsumi's words.

【Senior, what is he talking about...】

2017's face darkened in an instant, and he slowly raised the corners of his lips and smiled towards Miyano Natsumi, his handsome face was rarely cold.

''Xia Hai... don't look at some messy things.What Yayoi said didn't mean what you thought..."

"Eh, isn't it?"

In the tone, it is obvious, with pity.

"...No, although I don't know what you are thinking, I mean you may have misunderstood it."

Miyano Yayoi choked, paused and continued.

"What I want to say is to change your physique and become a real...human being with flesh and blood."

"...I am worried about your body."

The girl said very vaguely, as the first generation of HybridChild, Miyano Natsumi's body cannot last for a long time...

Even if she knew it before, she couldn't do anything, but now, Miyano Yayoi is no longer an ordinary human being, she has a godhead, and many things have become easier.

"...Will it affect your body? Even if it's only a little bit, I don't want to...Although, I want to be with you for a longer time."

"No……"

The black-haired girl's eyes flickered slightly, and then gently raised her hand to stroke Miyano Natsumi's cheek, the temperature on it was very cold, completely different from that of a human being.

Truly telling the girl that the boy is different from her.

"I didn't know before, why, 77 would choose someone like me..."

"Now, if I can go back in time, I will definitely thank myself at that time and accept him..."

"Life is such a short time... It's really great to meet you."

Saying so, the girl couldn't hold back anymore.

Tears flowed down my face.

What is the bond is the length of time involved and the depth of memory.

Just like Yayoi Miyano's favorite sentence, the words of Haruki Murakami.

Those who are lost will be lost, and those who meet will meet again.

A person's life is like a huge forest. All the people you will meet and the beauty you will encounter are all in this space. As long as you are willing to take the initiative and look for it.

After going around in a big circle, that person will meet you unexpectedly.
