[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

5#You who are not here

The dark night outside the window, under the bright and warm light, made the glass window have a mirror-like effect.Lu Sheng picked a seat by the window and motioned for Mana to sit down.After the two were seated, he opened the menu and placed it in front of Mana, asking her to choose a dessert she liked.

"Hmm... Chocolate Parfait."

Lu Sheng called the waiter over to order.

"A glass of lemonade and a chocolate parfait."

"Two cups?" The waiter made sure.

"Well, two glasses."

Desserts came quickly.Lu Sheng brought the chocolate parfait that the waiter had placed in front of Mana. The girl was stunned, but she took a spoonful and opened her eyes slightly as soon as she put it in her mouth.

"...It's really delicious."

"Well, it's great." Lu Sheng took a sip of lemonade with a smile, and frowned, "...I'm really not used to this kind of drink."

"Then do you want another cup?" Mana tilted her head and thought for a while, "Lu Sheng-kun seems to like Japanese style things more, so let's drink green tea."

"Okay." Lu Sheng called the waiter, "Please give me a cup of green tea."

Mana continued to eat her parfait, while Lu Sheng waited for the green tea to arrive, unconsciously using a straw to stir the lemonade in the glass, the ice cubes collided and made a crisp sound.

"Mana's singing voice is very beautiful. Have you received professional training before? It's just taught by the old man at home, but you can't do it to that level."

Such a wide and almost infinite sound range, and the skill of turning freely regardless of high pitch or low pitch... It's simply a monster.

Mana's hand paused, she lowered her eyes, quietly looked at Buffy in front of her, and took a moment to move.

"I used to... be a singer."

She looked up, showing a gentle smile.

"Beta?o?, have you ever heard Lu Shengjun?"

Lu Sheng smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, I'm really not familiar with idols and pop music."

Regarding Lu Sheng's answer, Kuroko Mana just smiled slightly, and didn't say much. Her eyes fell on the glass window, she paused and then moved away. She bit her lower lip, suddenly He stood up and apologized to Lu Sheng.

"I saw a friend, I have to say hello to him, is that okay, Lu Shengjun?"

"It's okay, if it's urgent, is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, I think I can..." Seeing the scene outside, a hint of anxiety flashed across Mana's face, "I'm leaving first, sorry."

The girl hurried out of the shop.Lu Sheng put the money under the cup, and chased her out.

Seeing Lu Sheng go out, the head waiter heaved a sigh of relief, and made a worried expression to the store manager.The store manager also breathed a sigh of relief, and opened his mouth while wiping the cup.

"The psychopath who has been talking to himself has finally gone."

"That's right, I ordered two glasses of ice and I was talking to myself..." The waiter complained while clearing the table, his face froze suddenly, "Wait, did he eat this parfait?"

The parfait placed diagonally is out of reach of Lu Sheng, judging from the position of the spoon...

The waiter covered his face.

"That's right, I must be thinking too much..."

"Mr. Liang!"

Panting, Mana ran after the blond boy.The boy has straight shoulders and is tall. He put one hand casually in his trousers pocket, and the other held a gray suit uniform jacket and schoolbag. He didn't know if he felt something. He turned around and looked around, frowning slightly. eyebrow.

"Illusion?"

Mana's footsteps stopped, she stood there, looked at Kise Ryota quietly, and after a while, she chased after him again.

Kise Ryota turned into an alley.He crouched in front of the picture on the telephone pole, placing a can of coffee in the bouquet.He threw the schoolbag on the ground casually, sat down without feeling dirty, opened another can of coffee, and just drank it like this.After finishing half a can of coffee, Kise stretched out his hand and stroked the photo gently.

"...I haven't seen you for a long time." Kise lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes were sad, "Actually, I have been avoiding to see you, I want to forget that you are dead. In fact... I originally Thought I'd done it."

"But today a girl came to confess to me, and then, I suddenly thought of you. How long has it been since I came to see you? Well, I don't remember either. But when that girl told me that she liked me, I can't help but wonder what would have happened to us if you were still around."

Kise suddenly grabbed her hair and laughed, but the smile was so bitter.He smiled and let go of his hands and lowered his head. A drop of transparent liquid hit the back of his tightly clenched hands. He didn't raise his head, so others couldn't guess his expression.

"...I said to that girl 'I'm sorry, I have someone I like'. It's too bad that I didn't say that when you were here. What's the use of saying it now?"

Mana quietly leaned against the wall of the alley, raised her head, the dim light hit her face, making her face paler.It was such a weak position, as if she could no longer support herself.

And Kise continued to speak.

"I'm still playing basketball. In the current school, the seniors are very interesting people. Although they are not as strong as Akashi and Aomine, how can I put it... Playing basketball with the seniors always feels very relaxed. How strange , Playing basketball should always be very easy, but this kind of feeling... inexplicably makes people feel that it's been a long time. What about you? Over there... Has your voice improved? Are you still singing? If you are, I must I won’t give up singing, I won’t give up no matter what. It would be great if I could hear that singing voice again. Hey, can you sing it for me again?”

There was a long silence.Kise smiled wryly, a trace of exhaustion suppressed in her delicate girl-like eyes.He bowed his head deeply, letting the drooping hair hide his expression.

"...That's right, you must not forgive me."

"After all, at that time... I didn't save you."

Mana's shoulders trembled, she looked at Kise Ryota in disbelief, her long eyelashes trembled and trembled.Just as she was about to say something, a black figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"... cool too, cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool Cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool Cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool Cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool too cool Ryota...!!!"

Kise Ryota straightened up suddenly, staring dumbfounded at the entrance of the alley——

"Student Uchida?"

The girl shrouded in darkness showed a strange smile.

"Let's be together forever, Ryota."

She raised her head, revealing those scarlet eyes.

"I love you."

The sharp blade in the girl's hand shone with a cold silver light.
