[Comprehensive] Escape from shame is useless

Sunday, May 10.

At 7:[-] in the morning, people who are used to getting up early gathered in the dining room, and the servants had already prepared a hearty breakfast.

Yue Hao looked around and asked with a smile, "Is Jasmine still sleeping in?"

"It should be, we chatted very late yesterday." Yuno, who had just stepped into the restaurant's door, stopped and turned back, "I'll go and see her, you guys eat first."

Yuno walked back to the second floor, came to the door at the end of the corridor, and knocked on the door.

"Jasmine too, are you awake, you're up for breakfast~"

no respond.

However, Yuno had been prepared for this result. Every weekend when there was no morning training, the little angel couldn't wake up screaming when she woke up.Even if she lifted the quilt, she would just curl up into a ball in a daze, begging her pitifully to let herself sleep for a while.

When he thought of pushing the door open and going in, he would see that dull-haired Jasmine again, and Yuno's heart softened to a point.

"I'm in."

The moment the door was pushed and entered, a gust of violent wind happened to pour in from the window, rushing towards the door frantically.Yuno couldn't help squinting her eyes, and the hem of her clothes was rattling.Putting down the hand that covered the eyes, what came into view was the wide open glass window facing the door, and the blue curtains on both sides fluttered down, and calm was restored.

But this is not important, the important thing is that the bed where Jasmine was supposed to be lying was empty at the moment.

The person who was supposed to be in the room wasn't there, so the first reaction was of course that she went to the bathroom or something, but the wide open window and the bitter autumn wind made Yuno feel uneasy.

Where is not natural.

where is it?

Looking around the entire room again, I finally found the abnormal point——

It was slippers, and the slippers Jasmine was also wearing were neatly placed beside the bed.

Realizing this, Yuno immediately started running.

However, whether it was the bathroom, the study room, the music room...everywhere except the dining room, I searched, but I couldn't find Jasmine's figure.To be on the safe side, I even asked every servant who passed by, but no one had seen her.The strangest thing was that the guard at the door also said that no one had left the house since last night.

Where did Jasmine go?

Has the world evaporated?

"It's not good, Jasmine is gone too."

Instead of rushing into the restaurant recklessly, Yuno called Akashi from the second floor.He immediately put down the knife and fork, found a reason and left first.As soon as he left the restaurant, he let go of his pace and rushed upstairs.

"what happened?!"

After closing the door, Akashi asked with a cold face.

Yuno immediately explained everything that had just been checked in the shortest possible language, including the testimony that no one had entered or exited the gate.

"Where's her phone?"

"I've checked, but I'm not in the room. I can get through, but no one answered."

Not only that, but her slippers were neatly placed beside the bed, and the leather shoes that were originally placed in the entrance disappeared without a trace.All signs showed that she chose to leave out of her own will.The question went back to the beginning again——

How did Jasmine get away?

Grow wings and fly away?

A suffocating silence spread between the two, as an unacceptable possibility loomed in front of them and choked them by the throat.In the end, Yuno couldn't hold his breath anymore and asked:

"Akashi, do you think it's—"

God hidden.

"will not!"

He suddenly raised his eyes, the flame hidden in it broke the shell that had been used to hide it all along, and it was the first time that it was burning so violently and vividly.The slender but powerful arm drew an afterimage visible to the naked eye in front of her, and slammed on the door frame with a bang.

"She promised me she wouldn't."

The deep voice is full of depression, like a taut string, as long as there is a little more pressure, it will break.

"That's right... that's right."

Xinyin was startled by his sudden outburst of anger and stopped for a moment, Yuno regained his composure, diverted his attention away from that terrible hypothesis, and immediately thought of other possibilities.

She took a deep breath and turned on the phone: "I'll call Yedou again, maybe there will be a clue."

While opening the address book, Yuno was still watching Akashi secretly from the corner of his eye.This was the first time that he was so blatantly angry that he had even lost his composure.

gods.

Before everyone knew it, it had become a steel awl in his heart, which could not be pulled out, but went straight into the lungs, and the tip was aimed at the most deadly place.

For Akashi, who claims to be in control of everything, there is only God, an existence that he can't intervene, or even interfere with.But the person he cares about the most has a deep relationship with God.

Yuno understands, so why isn't she like this?Worrying that when she wakes up, her little angel will return to the God Realm, and she will never see her smile again, hear her voice again, or touch her at all.

No one can accept such a future.

Akashi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his mind, which had calmed down after venting, began to spin rapidly.

Where is Jasmine now, how did she leave, when did she leave, why did she leave without disturbing anyone?What is she trying to do?

They were still together around two o'clock in the morning, that is to say, Jasmine also left after she said she was sleepy.So, was the so-called sleepiness she really felt sleepy and wanted to rest, or was it just an excuse to get rid of them?

Considering the result of her disappearing without alarming anyone, it is more likely that they will be dismissed.So why did she dismiss them?Because of what she is going to do, they probably won't support it, and even once they know, the possibility of her doing it will disappear.

Going forward, when she was listening to their discussion, she was still in a state of not knowing the situation, and the questions she asked were meaningless.Even Jasmine couldn't hide her worried face, at least at that time, it was really hard to see that she was hiding any special plan.That is, after that?

What happened between the time they talked and the time she said she felt sleepy and wanted to rest?

Think about it, think about it carefully, was there anything unusual about her behavior at that time?

No.

She just sat on the bed and flipped through her phone.

cell phone?

Almost at the same time that the color bell on Yato's side rang, Akashi opened the online message board.

Just 3 minutes ago, a recent reply was refreshed on the message board.

"Maria: Pappoulis, let's meet and talk. I'll be waiting for you on the top floor of the XX Building in Kyoto at 10 o'clock this morning. If you don't come, or if I hear any news about what happened to my parents and friends before then, I jumped off the stairs."

Yes, this is the simplest, fastest, and most effective strategy.

The seven inches of a snake, the reverse scale of a dragon.

For Pappoulis, an avid fan, and for Pappoulis who would give everything to love her, her existence itself is the other's most fatal weakness.

What a simple truth.

Jasmine also didn't believe that with the wisdom of Yi Zhengjun and Yuno, they would not be able to figure this out.They just don't want to think about this possibility, and they are afraid of the mouse, which is definitely the same for them.

After all, Zheng Jun also said that the most basic rule of conduct for him and Yuno is to ensure her safety.

So, they ignored the option and never even mentioned it.

She would rather expend more efforts and use more indirect means to prevent the situation from deteriorating, and absolutely would not bet on her life safety.

When she wanted to understand this question, Jasmine also suddenly realized that she was really a very happy person.

Maybe she has experienced terrible twists and turns that many people have never experienced, and even left her with almost irreparable scars, but God gave her better compensation.

Although I am sorry to my parents for saying this, for her, Masamune and Yuno are really the two most important people in her life.When she was desperate, it was Zheng Jun who reached out to her.When she was bewildered by the curse, Yuno opened her arms to her.

No matter what time it is, as long as it is her request, they will try their best to satisfy her.No matter what terrible situation happened, they immediately protected her behind, sheltered her from the wind and rain, and overcame all obstacles for her.

Kuroki Jasmine also got to know Akashi Seijuro and my wife Yuno in this life, it's really great.

for them-

She can give up everything she has been insisting on.

Including her music, including her life.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Yeto helped fetch Jasmine's violin from Kanagawa overnight, and solemnly handed it over to her.

She took the case, opened the buckle, and took out the violin that had been with her for nearly 8 years.Preciously wiped off the remaining rosin with the piano cloth again, adjusted the position of the bridge, and completed the tuning one by one starting from the A string.After doing all this, she set up the piano, and showed a slightly desolate smile to Yato.

"I'm sorry, Yato, the song I promised you will be performed in such a strange place."

The god in sportswear sat down on the ground carelessly and waved his hands.

"It's the person playing that matters."

His artifact, Xueyin, also sat down beside him, waiting with great anticipation for her performance.

"Is there a song you want to hear?"

"I actually don't understand at all. You can pull whatever you want."

After all, this might be the last song.

"The song I want to play..."

Jasmine also raised her head. The blue sky was high and far away, with no clouds in the sky.

It seems that in her memory, today is always such a sunny and clear day every year.

Just like the warm smile of that person in memory.

October 10th is the anniversary of Akashi Shiori's death.

Pappoulis, you really picked the worst day ever.

I'm sorry, Zheng-kun, I have to make you again...

The fingers crossed the three strings, rested on the thickest G string, and then bowed to the bottom.

This is Aunt Shiori's favorite piece, and it is the piece she will play every year on this day.Although I am a little sorry for Yato, but since it is the last, she still wants to be willful.Her god dotes on her so much, this little wish will surely be granted to her.

Close your eyes, and the beautiful melody flows in your hands.With each crossing of bowstrings, deeper emotions are stirred up.

Perhaps only when she is playing can she release her full self.Unrestrained, unrepressed, let go of worries, completely loyal to yourself, you can laugh when you want, cry when you want.

But as a performer, her words can only be expressed by musical notes, and her emotions can only be conveyed by the sound of the piano.so--

Sing, my violin, for this last curtain call.

Listen, my god, this is my last love language to Aunt Shiori, to Masamune, to you, and to this world.

"Aria on the G String".

Ah, speaking of which, it would be nice to call Sei-kun before the performance, at least through the airwaves, I really want him to hear it too.

My violin, the last echo.

A song is over, and the lingering sound continues.

Applause broke out, and Xueyin even clapped desperately while sobbing.

"I, I like this piece, and I also like your violin...Miss Kuroki, really, I really like it! So can you-"

"Thank you for liking my performance, Yukine-kun. The same goes for Yato. Such a simple offering is really not pious enough."

She hugged Qin and rubbed it reluctantly.

"No, this is the most devout prayer. Your Yato-sama heard everything you wanted to say."

She opened her eyes slightly in surprise, and then faintly smiled in the warm morning light.

"Yes, you are my god."

The tuned strings were loosened again, the bow hair was rosined for the last time, and then carefully put back into the piano case and the clasp closed.

Jasmine also turned on her phone, and there was a new message on the message board waiting for her reply.

"Pappoulis: Although I don't know who you are, do you think you can convince me with just two casual words like this? Don't be so naive! You even want to threaten me with Miss Kuroki's safety, when I am a three-year-old Baby?! It's unbearable for her to have relatives like you!"

"Maria: I didn't intend for you to believe so easily, so at 9 o'clock, I will give the proof. I believe you will be watching me nearby, and you will know when the time comes, as if you are willing to give everything for me Similarly, in order to meet you, I will give my all!"

After sending this passage, she glanced at the time on the phone screen, locked the phone, and stopped looking at the message board.

Time passed by every minute, and Jasmine also looked down from the top floor, and found that the square in front of the commercial building, where there were still many pedestrians, had been completely empty at some point, and a roadblock erected two blocks away could be vaguely seen.

The entire area has been cordoned off by the police.

It must be Zhengjun and the others.Even though she hadn't answered the phone, they could still understand the meaning of her actions without any communication with her.Sure enough, they already knew that this was the most efficient way, and the reason why they didn't mention it was really just worrying about her.

It's impossible for her not to pull herself together, this is a task that only she can complete!

At 8:58, the alarm clock rang.Jasmine also reopened the message board, ignoring all the messages left after Pappoulis was dropped, and directly entered what she had prepared to say a long time ago.

"Maria: Look carefully, Pappoulis, this is my proof. If you really know me as you say, you must understand what this means!"

Putting the phone back into her pocket, Jasmine also opened the piano case again.

The violin, covered with brown varnish, lay there quietly, and the newly replaced strings reflected a cool and beautiful brilliance in the sun.

She raised her hand, starting from the head of the piano, and caressingly along the direction of the wood grain.She remembers every raised arc of it, and she knows the origin of every scratch on it.It is the only good memory left in that unbearable memory, and it is the best consolation to accompany her through countless long sleepless nights.Her Aegean has witnessed her every struggle and every pain in the past seven years, and has also given her supreme joy and happiness.

"Thank you, my best mate. And then... goodbye, proof of my existence."

She picked up the head of the piano and stood up, shaking her head at Xueyin who still wanted to say something, then turned around, and the long skirt drew a beautiful arc in the air.Facing the gentle sunlight, stepping away from the mist of the morning sun, we walked to the edge of the roof.

It is as solemn as walking to the stage countless times in a dream.

In the quiet square, the hustle and bustle in the distance is looming, and on the top floor of the empty commercial building, the brown-haired girl holds her destiny in both hands and holds it high above her head.The gemstone on her chest and her green eyes ignited a flame of determination, and in this jungle surrounded by steel, there was the most enthusiastic echo.

"Pappoulis, watch carefully, this is my awakening, the proof that I am willing to give everything!"

Then take good care to remember——

"Maria: I'll just wait for you until 10 o'clock."

The brown violin fell silently in the wind, just like her heart that she thought was as firm as iron.It seems that a faint melody can be heard in the ear, like an elegy, like a curtain call, like crying like a complaint, and finally intertwined into a poem called fate——

Falling apart together.

The author has something to say: the code words on the train are so awkward, the efficiency is halved orz

Fortunately, I caught up, and there is no interruption, huh~
