Come on again, Yukino

"Perhaps, sometimes evil fate can be regarded as fate."

Glancing at Koyuki who was staring at him, Haruhi also shifted his gaze to that scene.

"Nie Yuan..."

At the far end of the crowd, Nagato heard Haruhi's two words,

Couldn't help but repeat it.

maybe

The short-haired girl thought to herself...

Chapter 74 Enlightenment

Yuki Nagato is 25 years old this year.

Evening

She just got off work from a certain pharmaceutical company, and she was driving her best friend and colleague Asakura Ryo in her own car on the way back to the apartment.

Between the traffic,

Between feasting and feasting,

Except for the group of office workers who waited for the arrival of the subway from [-] to [-], the rest were teenagers and girls who had just finished school from the school classroom or the school club.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Ryoko Asakura, wearing a white coat, was leaning against the car window, looking at the group of students full of youthful vigor, with a constant smile on her lips.

"I really miss our old school days. At that time, we were just like them. We lived carefree every day. As long as we handle the relationship between study and classmates well, we can welcome every fulfilling tomorrow. Say yes, Youxi."

And the woman sitting next to her, stroking the steering wheel with both hands, has long silver-gray hair flowing down from her shoulders, but there are not many complicated expressions on her delicate face, only the immobile eyes like ancient wells shine through the eyes. With a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he watched the hustle and bustle on the road with misty eyes. Inadvertently, while the woman next to him was talking, there was a hint of softness in his eyes.

"Ah."

Nagato nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the front.

"Oh, by the way, do you still remember the bully boy in our high school class? I heard about him not long ago."

"You mean that Kasuga-san?"

Of course Nagato remembered the boy who had been sitting behind his seat for three years in high school, but during those few years, the two of them didn't communicate much, and he remembered the boy's name, but the boy's face had long been forgotten. in the back of the head.

"Well, it's that guy. You won't believe it. Didn't we just have a reunion in class B not long ago? That night, I heard from the former teacher that Kasuga-kun seemed to be talking to that Yukinoshita Yukino who was once known as Sobu Takayukihime, and the two of them have been admitted to a university, it seems that they have reached the point where they are about to talk about marriage."

"……real?"

Nagato Yuki couldn't imagine the scene narrated by her best friend for a while. In her memory, on the day she graduated from high school, her back desk thanked her for the first time. Later dropped out of school.

Asakura nodded, and said calmly: "Of course it's true. Although Kasuga-kun didn't come to the class reunion not long ago, the reason why he didn't come was not because he didn't want to come, but because he was busy with family dinners with Yukinoshita's family. , I just can’t find the time to come over.”

"It's surprising. Those two men and women with completely different personalities came together inadvertently."

"A little bit."

Although she said she was surprised, the silver-gray long-haired woman was still expressionless.

"Hahaha, even that bully classmate has found his own stable life, only youxi and me are still lonely. Well, it feels like no man will want a woman with a personality like me and youxi. , how about the two of us living together, do you think it's okay?"

"..."

Asakura watched his best friend fall into silence after his half-joking half-serious words, she originally wanted to continue telling some jokes,

In an instant, there was a piercing sound of brakes, accompanied by a violent impact sound,

Ryoko Asakura's smile froze at the corner of her mouth in an instant.

"The speed of the vehicle in front seems to be a bit wrong, be careful!!!"

"Is it out of control..."

Nagato frowned slightly,

booming sound,

I vaguely heard the voices of the man and woman on the road,

The voice was a little familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere, but at this time, the two of them had no time to recall the source of the voice.

"The out-of-control car seems to have hit someone..."

Asakura's trembling voice came from Nagato's ear,

And when she wanted to slam on the brakes or even turn the car around,

The car in front was completely out of control,

However, he still rushed towards him crazily straightly,

"It's a pity... Youxi."

Nagato only remembered the last moment, when Asakura beside him couldn't bear the feeling of being hit by a strong vehicle,

Crouching on the co-pilot's seat, with a trace of regret, he said lightly.

Are you sorry?

Nagato's mind went blank, and he asked a question on his own.

slightly,

After all, I just heard about it from my best friend.

Even the unscrupulous boy who I didn't notice before has a future with a partner,

I'm a little curious,

Although only a little bit.

"Pity?"

At that moment, she whispered slightly at the corner of her mouth.

If you do it again, will you still be so regretful?

What the hell happened to that boy.

If you can witness what happened to that boy,

It should satisfy that curiosity.

she thought so.

……

…………

A gust of wind blew through her weary body,

The sound of birdsong in my ears continues

And Nagato Yuki's eyes blinked lightly at this moment,

She, the members of the service department and Asakura sat silently on the bench looking at the scenery of Kyoto.

No one knows what she is thinking at the moment.

"Maybe, maybe there will never be such a meeting in the future, and maybe, once you graduate from university, everyone will go to the city where their respective universities are located, and after graduating from university, they will have their own lives, and maybe they will forget it inadvertently." They can't tell each other either."

"Perhaps, sometimes evil fate can be regarded as fate."

The long sigh of the boy Kasuga behind him came from his ear.

"Nie Yuan?"

Hearing the boy mentioned this word she had never heard of, Nagato couldn't help but repeat it.

"Youxi, are you alright?"

Ryoko Asakura beside her was blowing a steady and hot breath in her ears, like the intimate interaction between girlfriends, squad leader Asakura looked at his friend's physical condition with concern.

Nagato, who is not good at strenuous exercise, was really overwhelmed by the stretch of road he had just climbed.

"It's all right, let's move on."

Nagato pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and shook his head at his friend.

Standing on the bridge that spans the creek in front of you and is integrated with the temple, the maple red all over the field is oncoming.

This landscape is commensurate with the quiet and comfortable atmosphere of the temple, giving people a stable and elegant impression.

Because the peak season of red leaves is over, even so, there are still many tourists gathered around Tongtianqiao.

The girl with glasses, who was walking silently at the end, inadvertently appeared a figure in front of her eyes, and saw Haruhi walking in front of her.

"Nagato, you should go ahead."

Looking at the table in front of him, Haruhi said softly.

"why?"

The silver-gray hair trembled slightly, Nagato hesitated, and said three words expressionlessly.

"What are you talking about? If you don't let you, a poisonous girl, go ahead, maybe we will accidentally leave you near here after a while."

Looking at Nagato whose pace was quite different from his own group,

Asakura is also exchanging interesting things with Yui,

So for a while, only this Nagato girl was left alone

And Haruhi, who followed the main force and inadvertently turned his head to notice this scene, thought about it, and in desperation, he also directly pushed the quiet and poisonous girl to the position of Xiaoxue and Yui.

Nagato: "..."

"Come here, Yuki-chan."

Yui in front also turned her head, and with Genki's smile, the girl waved at Nagato.

"...Go."

Haruhi, who was walking in the last row as a temporary supervisor, urged behind the hesitant Nagato.

The scenery of Kyoto is beautiful, and Nagato, who joined the service department's group, said silently.

She turned around again, frowning, looking at the boy Kasuga strolling leisurely on the path with brown pupils.

"...Is that all right?"

"Don't ask me, I'm not someone like you, you can ask Squad Leader Asakura."

Haruhi shivered with the interrogative sentence behind her back, then shook her head viciously.

"What Kasuga-san said is right, she is really cute, no matter what kind of actions our Yuki makes, she is quite cute and charming, really worthy of being my Yuki."

Jumping forward and hugging the expressionless Nagato, Captain Asakura rubbed his cheek against the face of his friend who let him do whatever he wanted, and said with a smile.

"That's all right, Ryoko."

Nagato's calm eyes, under Haruhi's reminder, looked at Asakura who was hugging him tightly.

"It's ready, Youxi."

While rubbing her face fiercely, Ryoko also smiled when looking at Nagato, and replied without hesitation.

"I see."

And her originally frowning brows were also stretched.

Well, it's ready.

……

…………

"Ah, it's Koto and the others."

Not long after, Kasuga and the others found Tobe and Ebina among the crowd.

The two of them were taking photos with the red leaves as the background, and the photographer was none other than the boy who was mixed in the crowd but still did not forget his hearty and sunny smile, classmate Hayama Harin.

Originally, Haruhi thought that what was shining just now was the teeth showing a hurtful smile, but after seeing it clearly, he realized that it was just the flash of the camera.

"Is it Ha Shan and the others? What a coincidence?"
