[Net King] Take away my heart

If you don't feel love in the first place, it's not love. ——Christopher Marlowe

A long time ago, there was a god who lived alone on the moon and felt very lonely, so he turned into an old man and came to the world.

The old man met three small animals. He told them that he was going to starve to death, and asked them to find food for him.

The first little animal is a fox. The fox is very smart. It ran to the human farm to steal food and gave it to the grandfather to eat.

The second small animal is a monkey. The monkey can climb a tree. It ran to the tree in the blink of an eye and picked fruits for the grandfather to eat.

The third small animal is the rabbit. The rabbit can neither steal things nor climb trees. It has been searching for a long time but has not found food, so it can only return to the grandfather in this way.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't find anything."

The rabbit picked up some branches and piled them together, and lit the firewood.

"If you are hungry, please eat me."

After speaking, the rabbit jumped into the flames.

The old man didn't take the fox to the moon, he didn't take the monkey to the moon, he took the rabbit to the moon.Since then, the rabbit has pounded rice cakes on the moon every year and every month.

...Mr. Miyake, have you heard the legend about the rabbit pounding rice cakes on the moon?

Many people know this legend, and I heard it from my parents when I was very young, but almost no one knows how the rabbit ran to the moon.

"Why is the rabbit on the moon? Isn't it lonely there alone?"

I asked my parents this way when I was a child, but they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.

It was she who told me this story.

I believe that there is Santa Claus in this world, so I also believe in the legend of rabbits pounding rice cakes.Rabbits are not cunning like foxes, and rabbits are not smart like monkeys, but rabbits are good rabbits, just like Chiya—that’s what she told me before the car accident.

Hey Miyake-senpai, what does it feel like to die?Will it hurt?Will you be sad?Or do you feel nothing?If you don't feel anything, then senior is too cunning.

There are so many people in this world who are struggling to live, people who are sick and struggling to survive, people who are poor and struggling to survive, everyone is suffering but still so eager to survive, why is it that only the seniors are silent? I gave up right away.

It's useless to ask you these things now, because senior can't answer any questions anymore.

Senior Miyake, do you know that she is lying in a place closest to death just like you.Cold, scary, lonelier than the moon.

I don't know where people will go after death, but if everyone went to heaven, then senpai should be living with the gods now.Senior, if you and those people are watching us from heaven, why don't you stop this from happening?Why not reach out and save her?

Why do you have to let her suffer the same fate as you.

Recently, I often think, if I hadn’t come to Lihai, entered the tennis club, gone to cram school, and met you and Senior Jiayin, maybe I wouldn’t have to talk meaningless nonsense to a tombstone here .

Nioh-senpai said that Santa Claus will not give presents to bad children.If I am a good boy like this, then I hope Santa Claus can promise me one thing, as long as I promise this one thing.If he can wake up Senior Jiayin and bring everything back to before the car accident... It doesn't matter if I have to pay any price.

I'm here to say goodbye.

Having said all I wanted to say, I won't be coming here again.I can't forgive Miyake-senpai because you left like that in spite of everyone, even your best friend.Even if she forgives you, I will not forgive you.

After this, I have more important things to do. I am not as selfish as Miyake-senpai. I have responsibilities that must be fulfilled.

If you can't save her, even if no one in this world can save her, I will try my best to make her wake up.I will never give up on her.

Because I still have too many words that I haven't had time to tell her.

You probably think that I only met you after I went to cram school, but it’s not.

When I first entered Lihai, I didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and I wanted to beat Vice Minister Sanada and the others, and directly sit at the top of the tennis club.

At that time, I was still a first-year freshman, and within a few days of enrolling, I wrote a challenge letter and went to the second grade to find the Big Three in Lihai.Since I had never been to a second grade classroom, I was lost.It happened to be after school, and the students had almost left. As I was slowly looking for one classroom after another, I saw her figure in an empty classroom.

It was a sunny day, the sky was not yet red, and the bright and elegant sunlight was projected on her drooping eyelashes through the gently fluttering curtains.There was no one else in the classroom except her. She leaned against the podium alone, holding a collection of poems in her hand, and recited the content in a low voice like no one else was there.

"On one of those long days that were dull... gray and silent in the fall...

I rode alone...through this dreary, exotic country...

Finally, when the night fell slowly... the cold scenery of the House of Usher unfolded before my eyes...

I have never seen it as it used to be... but just by looking at it, a certain unbearable gloom filled my heart..."

She is transparent.

I have never seen a girl who is so peaceful, so peaceful that she seems to blend with the surrounding air and background.However, she is not non-existent. It is precisely because she is in this picture, and because her existence is so appropriate, that it is difficult for me to forget everything I see.

Marui-senpai always said that when you meet a girl you like, you should strike up a conversation immediately, and those who miss the opportunity are fools.But for some reason, I couldn't move my feet at that time.Time stood still at that moment, because the picture was so dreamlike that I couldn't bear to break its peace and beauty.

Eventually, I got out of there without doing anything.

This is how I first met her, and I didn't tell anyone about it, including Yanagi-senpai and Marui-senpai.I regard it as a secret, a secret that only I can open, no one can invade, no one can peep, it only belongs to me.

From that day on, all I paid attention to besides the number one throne in the tennis club was the person named Akiyama Jiayin.

The arrogance and arrogance I had at the beginning of the school was quickly dealt a devastating blow by my predecessors.In the match against the Big Three in Lihai, I lost a complete defeat.

Even though I got into the tennis club after that, I started from scratch, and I even had to pick up balls and run with guys who hadn't even held a racket, and did basic training.All around me are a group of incredible monsters, headed by Lihai's Big Three, Marui-senpai, Jack-senpai, Nioh-senpai, each of them has unexpected special skills.My self-confidence became increasingly decadent under the stimulation of these people.

I think I am not inferior to them, and I am also very strong, at least before entering Lihai, I have never met anyone who can beat me.

It’s just that I’m different from my predecessors in that my special moves are described as “scary, cruel, and evil” by everyone. Many people never dare to compete with me after they see me. It's like seeing a devil, and they all hide away.

There is a strange inheritance in my family, that is, once the emotion is stimulated, the blood pressure will rise instantly, and then enter a state of abnormally excited ecstasy.

My parents, my sister, and my sister are all in good control and won't get angry easily. Only I didn't know how to control my emotions since I was a child.I am always easy to be provoked by others, and my eyes will immediately become bloodshot when I am slightly stimulated, and sometimes I can't even remember what happened next.

The tennis coach in elementary school told me that this is a rare talent, although it may seem a little scary, but as long as I use it correctly in tennis, I will definitely achieve amazing results.

I took that coach's word because I thought so at one point.My special skill "demonization", usually as long as I show this move, the opponent is basically powerless to parry.When I woke up and opened my eyes, the players lying on the opposite court were generally unconscious.

However, it was this trick that caused me to be defeated miserably by the Lihai Big Three, and I was even pointed out by many people in the tennis club.

"That guy Kirihara is so scary." "That's not playing tennis at all, isn't it just pure violence." "It's too cruel, how could he do such a thing."

A lot of people hate me, fear me, avoid me.I didn't bother to be with these people. I can do whatever they say. I have my own goals and ambitions.

But I failed.I keep losing and suffering setbacks, and there are always three insurmountable mountains on my head-Seiichi Yukimura, Genichiro Sanada, and Renji Yanagi.

They must be defeated, and they must be defeated. Only by defeating them can I ascend the throne of Lihai No. [-].But what can I do to defeat them?They are so powerful that they scare me.

For a period of time, I fell into confusion and anxiety, and I was always shrouded in the shadow of the Big Three and couldn't get rid of it.Therefore, I didn't have much time to take care of her matters, and half a year passed in such a hurry.

Until the second half of the first grade, because I was too focused on tennis, several of my courses were in danger of being put on the red light. My parents forced me to go to cram school after school to ensure that my grades would not be affected.

So, at the cram school, I met you and her again.
