Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

It was a hot day in summer. There were a few small clouds floating in the blue sky. The scorching sun shone down from the sky, and the air was filled with a warm breath.

“Time flies by so fast…”

Standing on the street, Fan Mu squinted at the dazzling sun in the sky and sighed softly.

"That's right, that's right!" Kiana, who was standing beside him, nodded in agreement after hearing him muttering, "What kind of rotten weather is this? It's so hot that I'm dying!"

There was some resentment in her voice. She held an ice cream in each hand, took a big bite, and then squinted her eyes happily.

Looking at her like this, Fan Mu shook his head and said nothing.

Just two ice creams. Given her physical condition, there would be no problem as long as she didn't eat without restraint. There was no need for him to spoil her fun when she was happy.

"Let's go, class will start soon." Fan Mu gently rubbed her head. It was soft and felt good. Even though he had been rubbing it for 12 years, he didn't feel tired of it at all.

"it is good!"

Kiana's face first turned bitter, then she shouted happily, trotting forward, and her voice was carried back by the wind.

"Fan Mu! Come here soon!"

"Ah."

Seeing her happy expression, Fan Mu's mood was not so high, because he knew that the reason why Kiana was happy was because of a girl, a...trouble.

……

Qianyu College.

"Mei, Mei, I'm coming to see you!"

Kiana shouted loudly as she entered the classroom. When she saw a girl with long straight purple hair sitting in the back row, her eyes full of wisdom lit up and she leaped over.

She hugged the other happily and rubbed her cheek against the other's face, completely ignoring the other's embarrassment and helplessness and the gloomy-faced teacher on the podium.

Just when the teacher was about to lose his temper, Fan Mu arrived in time and comforted him again and again so he did not get angry.

"call."

Fan Mu hurriedly pulled Kiana off Raiden Mei, smiled apologetically at her, and pushed her aside regardless of Kiana's dissatisfied expression.

Jingle Bell!

The school bell rang.

Fan Mu took out his textbook and calmly stopped Kiana who was about to harass Raiden Mei.

He picked up the pen in his right hand and began to record the key points of the subject. With his left hand, he pinched Kiana's chin and turned her head back forcefully as she was about to turn away.

Ignore her dissatisfaction and start listening to the class attentively.

That's how it went on until the get out of class was over.

Jingle Bell!

"Mei! Mei!"

The noise started to get loud again, but this time the person being harassed was no longer him, but someone else.

Fan Mu looked at Kiana who was smiling foolishly as she returned. He just stared at her for two seconds, then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened. He looked at the client's homework with a pen in hand. He could not continue doing it even though he had just explained it in class.

My thoughts are always interrupted by the noise around me.

The playground outside the window was full of students who were walking and playing, and they were noisy. But it didn't feel hot, and the summer breeze was quite cool.

Although this is an aristocratic college, the rules and regulations are strict only when it comes to study. The get out of class time and homework are the same as other schools, not much, so there is always a lot of free time.

"Kiana..."

Finally he spoke helplessly, stood up, walked to the side, punched her on the forehead in annoyance, and looked at the beautiful girl beside him.

"Fan Mu!"

"I'm sorry, Raiden-san." Ignoring Kiana who was puffing up like a pufferfish, Fan Mu said apologetically: "Kiana is just like that. Please be more tolerant of her. She is just too lively. If I disturbed you, I would like to apologize to her first!"

"No... no, that's not the case." Raiden Mei quickly waved her hands, looking a little helpless. "Kiana-san is very nice and enthusiastic. I won't feel any trouble!"

"That's good!" Fan Mu nodded gently, "In that case, please take care of Kiana for me, Raiden-san, and don't let her make trouble!"

"Of course! If she doesn't listen, she can tell me and I will teach her a lesson!"

"Eh...ah, okay!" Raiden Mei looked at him in surprise at first, then quickly responded, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and the fists that had been subconsciously clenched at her side gradually loosened.

Seeing Fan Mu, who was nominally Kiana's brother, coming over, she thought...she thought he was asking her to stay away from Kiana, but she didn't expect it to be like this...

"Hey! Fanmu!"

Looking at the two people talking, Kiana shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

"How could I cause trouble? I won't cause trouble for Meiyi, so please don't meddle in my business!"

"Tsk, who was it that talked to Raiden last time in class and caused her to be punished by standing?"

"Ah...I..."

"And who ate someone else's lunch last time and made them hungry for the whole day?"

"I……"

"besides……"

"Ahhh! Stop talking like that!"

Watching the comedic conversation between the two, Raiden Mei pursed her lips and chuckled. The breeze outside the window blew into the classroom, causing her hair to flutter slightly. The summer sun shone through the window on her face. Kiana couldn't help but stare at this scene in a daze.

"Mea Yi..."

……

Fanmu didn't stop Kiana from going to Mei, even though she was a big trouble.

Logically speaking, he should feel happy. After all, it was the first time in such a long time that he saw Kiana like someone so much. He didn't know what kind of magic that girl named Raiden Mei had.

But, as the sun set, looking at the hung up phone in his hand, and thinking about what Kiana had just said about staying at Raiden Mei's house, if she didn't come back, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

Perhaps this is the helplessness and sadness a father feels when he sees his daughter being abducted by a yellow-haired man.

That’s what Fan Mu thought.

I hope their friendship can last a little longer!

Standing at the entrance of the vegetable market, looking at the fish that Kiana loved to eat in his hand, he shook his head, and went back to the house he rented here alone.

He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable along the way, as the noisy sounds were missing from his ears.

Returning to the house, it was dim and deserted. He put the dishes away and lay down on the sofa. He had forgotten the last time he had done this. Before he came into this world, he had quite liked being alone.

Now... forget it. We've been noisy for 13 years. I'm really not used to the sudden silence.

It has been 12 years since I came into this world, although I have been wandering most of the time.

Before I knew it, the little snowball had grown so tall, but it seemed to have become a little dumber as well.

Any companions?

I don’t know how long I will stay here this time.
