………………

………………

In the light rain, Yagyu holding an umbrella appeared at the meeting place.

He didn't say hello as usual, but walked towards me silently, without surprise or anger, calm and introverted like a chilly cloudy sky.

"It's been raining lately."

"Yeah, you can't leave your umbrella anymore."

After lightly brushing off the raindrops on one side of his shoulder, a thin layer of mist floated on Liu Sheng's lens.

"I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Are you okay?"

"It's not safe to say."

The two stood in the shade of a tree by the side of the road, and the conversation stopped at a strange point.

"........."

"...I said, Liu Sheng."

"what?"

"You probably know why I called you out."

Liu Sheng smiled lightly.

"To be honest, I was taken aback when I received the email. I also wondered how Nioh-kun is still in the mood to joke with me at this juncture."

"That's not a joke."

Compared with a few seconds ago, my voice is obviously colder.But Liu Sheng did not panic.

"Before you say it, can I ask a question? Why is her phone in Nioh-kun's place?"

What Yagyu looked at was my hand in the pocket of my trousers.I have Akiyama Jiayin's mobile phone in my pocket, so there is an obvious rectangular block there, which is easy to notice.

"You should be familiar with this thing."

I slowly took out the cell phone from my pocket, and Yagyu, who was staring at the cell phone, showed a puzzled expression for a moment.

"This... isn't Nioh-kun's own mobile phone?"

Indeed.In terms of appearance, this mobile phone is undoubtedly the one I have been using since the second grade. The reason why Yagyu knows this is because he also has another mobile phone with the same appearance as this mobile phone. The exact same mobile phone was specially prepared by him and me for the convenience of exchanging identities.

"That's right, it's the cell phone you brought back to me, because we're always swapping, and occasionally we can't figure out whose cell phone is where."

I seldom use my mobile phone. Except for necessary purposes, calling and emailing and contacting friends are not my daily needs.

On the day I saw office workers lying on the rails at the subway station, I took photos of the accident scene with my mobile phone.Then I gave the phone to Akiyama and asked her to keep those photos.

Akiyama who accepted the phone continued to use it.

"Akiyama's mobile phone was broken before the car accident. I lent her my mobile phone, and Akiyama replaced it with her own number. On the surface, it seems that my mobile phone is correct, but the person who is actually using it is actually Akiyama."

A week after the car accident in Akiyama, Yagyu brought the phone back to me with a tired face.

I'm sorry, I've been so tired recently, I accidentally put both of them by my side, come on, this is yours——

How does Yagyu distinguish between two mobile phones that look exactly the same, even with the same standby screen and ringtone?

It's easy, just look in your outbox.If there is an email to my mother or sister in the outbox, it must be Yagyu's cell phone.On the contrary, if the outbox is empty, it must be mine.

"Yagyu has already checked it. The outbox of this phone is blank, so I think it's mine."

He didn't say anything, just looked at me quietly.

"You are a meticulous person no matter what you do. It is no problem to check the outbox beforehand, but like you said, you were so tired during that time, and the pressure caused you to ignore a more than sent email. Where the inbox matters more, the inbox."

There is an email from Yagyu in Akiyama's cell phone.

The time of receipt was around [-] pm on the day of the car accident, which was shortly after the eyewitness described that Akiyama went out alone.

"Don't you think it's strange? You obviously gave Akiyama's cell phone a few months ago, and you were still using it just before the car accident, so that the email sent by Yagyu became a 'read' cell phone. How could it happen in the car accident? Then went to Liu Sheng? If this mobile phone was found at the scene of the car accident or at her home, it should be confiscated by the police as evidence for investigation... I think when Liu Sheng found it, he probably thought that it was not My mobile phone is your own mobile phone, so I hurriedly brought it back before I came to confirm it."

The police said that the bag that Akiyama Jiayin was carrying when she went out was not found at the scene of the car accident.Neither I nor the neighbor's witnesses can be sure that Akiyama got into Yagyu's father's car with his bag on his back.

Unlike the sloppy boys who put their mobile phones in their trouser pockets, girls like to take their mobile phones with them wherever they go, and they always put their mobile phones and wallets in their bags carefully, and they will never leave them randomly.

I don't know what else was in her bag besides her phone and wallet, or what the person who took her bag was trying to do.In any case, her mobile phone did disappear with the bag.

"In fact, in addition to the inbox and outbox, the mobile phone also has a function called 'unsent mailbox', how, have you heard it? For example, when the radio wave and signal are not good, such as when you are in the subway, there will occasionally be This kind of email can’t be sent, right? At that time, all the unsent emails will be collected here... Just like the neglected inbox, Yagyu must have forgotten to check here.”

I turned on the phone and unhurriedly brought up the page of unsent emails.

A half-sent email was lying in there.

"This email was sent about 10 minutes after I received Yagyu's email, which corresponds to the time the police speculated that the accident occurred... Do you remember that the accident happened on the highway? Because it was on the road I drive a car, so there is no lack of signal in the subway, so why is this email cut off in the middle of sending it? ...Because the car accident happened exactly at that moment."

At the same time as being hit hard, the phone flew out of his hand.The defect at the corner and a scratch on the back clearly proved that the mobile phone had been dropped to the ground. Fortunately, it was not broken because of this, but only interrupted the half-sent email.

"I don't know what kind of scene it was, and I can't imagine what kind of scene it was... But for Yagyu, that scene must be unforgettable forever? Because it was too shocking, I was at a loss, lost my usual calmness, and just thought about it Leave here as soon as possible, and hurriedly took away her bag and mobile phone... When I came back to my senses, I couldn't tell what was brought back from the scene, but I saw two identical mobile phones and wanted to return them. I have one and forgot to check, or didn't even realize to check inbox and unsent mailboxes..."

"Enough is enough."

Yagyu finally interrupted me. He didn't try to refute anything, but was silent for a while.

Through his reflective lenses, I thought I'd see something, but in the end I saw nothing.

A cold dampness surrounds us.

"King Ni, are you going to expose me to them?" After a long time, Liu Sheng asked.

"Do not."

"So, what are you going to do with your phone?"

"Keep it."

"why?"

"Because there is also evidence against me in that mobile phone."

"........."

"You will go, surrender yourself."

"........."

The rain gradually became heavier without knowing it.Even though he was right in front of his eyes, Liu Sheng's figure became blurred like never before.

"It's not...what you imagined." Liu Sheng's voice also became blurred.

I suddenly found this vagueness unbearable.I quickly threw away the umbrella and rushed forward, raised my hand and slapped Yagyu.

"Surrender yourself, do you hear?" I grabbed his collar, "Surrender yourself to me."

The sound of rain echoed in my ears, and Yagyu smiled at me.

It was a kind of soft expression that had never appeared before. That kind of expression should not be produced when facing me, but more like looking at her, the one who made me confused, and the one who made me feel confused. She who can never let go.

Only when looking at her, Liu Sheng would unconsciously show such an expression.

Delicate and fragile, tender and lost, desperate and crazy.

Has Liu Sheng changed?When did it start changing?

Does Akiyama's appearance mean redemption to him, or does it mean the impetus to accelerate his demonization?

...Now, these things are no longer important.

Willow is a gentle person.I've believed that from the beginning, and even at this moment, I still think so.

I don't need to deliberately give any examples. Whether it's feeding stray cats, taking care of my sister, caring for the younger generation, or helping Akiyama silently, anyone who knows Yagyu will not deny that he is a gentle person.

I know, I know better than anyone else that Liu Sheng has been using his tenderness and forbearance to keep restraining the growth of monsters in his heart.

"Is this even?"

Yagyu, whose cheeks quickly turned red and swollen, looked at me and asked.

Not getting angry, not resisting, not fleeing, Liu Sheng's voice is still rational and calm, as if the pain of his body can't arouse his human nature.

I let go of my hand and took a few steps back slowly. The rain wet my hair and shirt, and when I should have felt bone-chilling cold, I suddenly wanted to laugh.

Because I can't cry, I can only laugh.

It's all a big, ridiculous joke.

"Yagyu, one last request." I stared at the puddle on the ground and said, "Hit me."

Willow didn't respond.

"Hit me. Come on."

Still no response.

I couldn't bear it and shouted: "I told you to hit me! Can't you hear me—!"

The second after I finished saying this sentence, the slap from the opposite side had already slapped me.With a crisp "pop", the rain on my hair was thrown out, and my face was also tilted to one side.

A burning pain that I didn't realize for a long time.

Or maybe the pain has always been there, because it was too painful, too painful, and the pain lasted for too long, which made me numb to the point that it no longer existed.

I reached out to touch my face and muttered "It hurts".

"Nio, are we friends?"

It's still raining.

The rainwater dripped continuously along the edge of Liusheng's umbrella to the ground, like broken pearls, one after another.

are we friends?

Yagyu's question echoed in his ears, so close yet so far away.

What was my part in this farce of lies and jokes?

Would it have changed if I had made that call a few minutes later that day, or if I hadn't made that call at all?

If I could have made that lie better, if I could have lied to Yagyu just like that, wouldn't that tragedy have happened?

……Do not.

All the fates have paved the way to the shattered ending the moment we met.

Hello, my name is Bunta Marui.

Hello, my name is Nioh Masaharu.

Hello, my name is Yagyu Hiroshi.

Hello, my name is………

I…………………

I just………………………

Never knew who I was.

Nioh, are we friends?

If we're not friends, what are we anyway.

I have no friends, I have no hope, I have no faith, I am strongest when I have nothing, when I have nothing to lose.

But they showed up.

Atu appeared, Rainbow appeared, Yagyu appeared, Tennis appeared, and then...she also appeared.

When I realized that I was alive, when I realized that the faith and hope that had been abandoned came back to life, when I found that I found a reason enough to keep me alive...

When I have treasures and vital keys.

I carefully opened the box of locked treasures, thinking with joy that what was contained in it was the redemption that would lead me to the light from now on, but in the end—what I opened was Pandora's magic box.

The rain stopped.

A rainbow appears.

In the gray sky, a faint light is opened, and a faint rainbow hangs in the distant sky, looming.

Will Ah Tu live on that rainbow, I wondered ecstatically.He must be very happy to live in such a colorful place.

The umbrella was silently put away, Yagyu's flaxen hair suddenly showed a light golden luster under the sky that swept away the dark clouds.

Liu Sheng's lenses are no longer hazy, under the clean frame, I am familiar with the gentle and kind eyes of a gentleman from the beginning to the end.

That's not a lie.

Only that would not be a lie.

Even if it is a lie, I will choose to believe this lie.

Because…………

"Pfft."

Because, you are my friend.

Pick up the umbrella, pat the pants, and walk towards the rainbow as if nothing happened.

There was still a faint pain in the place where we fanned each other in the rain, but the pain made me suddenly sober.

【Open your inbox】

He took out his mobile phone and sent the text message to Liu Sheng's mobile phone.

There was a notification sound for receiving a text message, and the sound of turning on the phone.

"King Ren..."

It's evened out.

"Thank you all the time..."

No one owes anyone anymore.

"I... will surrender..."

Yagyu's voice came to my ears from behind, but I didn't turn my head.

One day, you too will see a rainbow.

I just firmly believed in this, non-stop, non-stop, continued to speed up and run in the direction of the rainbow.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: the long Nioh perspective stops here~

The next chapter will open a new perspective "CHAPTER09. Yagyu Hiroshi"

There is a feeling of going all the way to kill the enemy and finally challenge the big boss (poof

The murderer's identity has been revealed in this chapter, but please note:

Not yet~not~end~end~oh~

What we have seen so far only stays on the surface of the truth, but the crucial motive and all the details of the crime

I will tell you slowly from the perspective of the murderer~

The perspective following "CHAPTER09. Yagyu Hiroshi" will be "CHAPTER10. Yukimura Seichi"

The male protagonist who has been forgotten repeatedly is finally going to shoulder his big responsibility XDDDD

Together with Mr. Murderer, we will reveal all the hidden secrets and truths of this story~

I hope everyone can develop a strong little heart and walk towards the deepest core of truth with Toru~

-----------------

I said in the last chapter that there are many things I want to hold back until this chapter

But sure enough, as a nagging star, once he erupts, he can’t stop, so it’s better to control it first (laughs)

As the longest point of view so far, to be honest, I didn’t expect to write so much blood and tears on Nioh at first~

One quarter of Toru's pot of blood and tears was given to Reika, one quarter was given to Nioh, and the remaining two quarters will probably be used on Yagyu and Gemini~

By the time I finish writing this article, I might be able to spit out blood and tears and close my eyes to rest (poof

Next, if I can receive everyone’s thoughts on Mr. Second Second and Mr. Murderer, I will continue to explode in my reply~ XDDD

(spreading arms like stars) Waiting for everyone~

ps. Next time when we come back with a new perspective, there will be new announcements along the way~ XDDD
