Cherry Blossoms

It was already half a month after the injury recovered. Only part of the shrapnel on Yuki’s body was taken out, and some were not performed due to the surgical conditions. Yuki didn’t take it seriously. At that time, the young body always Being able to withstand those unpredictable traumas is probably an important factor for her to become one of the legends.The strong recovery ability has laid the foundation for her to continue to fight soon. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be a good thing. If she can recover later, she might be able to meet Rena. When she came out of the hospital, Yukina This is a set of military uniform sent over by Linnai, which was sent to her by Rena after asking someone else to send it to her.

When standing in front of the hospital bed to pack her luggage, she took out the clean military uniform from the package and spread her on the white sheets, as if she could see the girl who was about the same size as her but thinner than her, Yuki seriously She folded the suit and carefully put it into the backpack. Before leaving, she left a message for the nurses in the hospital. If Linnai came back, she must ask her to go back to the city where the army was stationed on July 27th.

However, on July 27, Yuki did not wait for Rena, and she kept telling herself that it must be because the field hospital was evacuated, so she did not send the message, but the fact is that there was no major battle there at all. Conditions for evacuation.The uneasiness in her heart has been with her until the end of the war. The name Matsui Rena seems to have disappeared from people's sight. She has never mentioned where she has gone. Even if she has died, there should be news. After all, she owns the colonel people of military rank.

The mood was made a little bad by this sad memory, he closed the notebook and closed his eyes to rest his mind, but the brow that was unconsciously frowned never relaxed again.He fell asleep slowly because of the shaking of the carriage, his head was slightly tilted so that his white neck was exposed, and a terrifying scar spread from the root of his right ear to his throat. The young man sitting opposite obviously also saw it That scar, I couldn't help but my heart trembled, the scar that passed through the artery, what must I go through to survive, few ordinary people can survive such an injury.The young man's gaze paid a lot of respect to the woman who had experienced hardships in front of him.Although I don't know her name, but seeing that she is still alive, I feel a sense of relief in my heart.

Yuki's dream was chaotic, she dreamed of the scene of the flames of war, the sound of guns and guns could be heard endlessly, but she couldn't move half a step, because she saw the person who was lying in a pool of blood, her pale face Facing the sky, the blood flowed continuously along the corner of her mouth, the flow made her heartbroken, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her footsteps, and fell to her knees on the ground, tearing her heart Cracking her lungs, she shouted her name, but as if they were all isolated, her voice couldn't come out.She watched helplessly as the man slowly lost his vitality, she still couldn't do anything, not even the ability to hug her.A feeling of a splitting heart spread all over his body, causing layers of goosebumps, and tears flowed from his closed eyes and dripped onto the collar of his shirt.

Rena Matsui, how can I live in a world without you?My thoughts have been stuck in that nightmare and I can't extricate myself from it. The pain in my heart is getting clearer and clearer, and the pain has penetrated into every pore.An extremely sad atmosphere seeped out from her body little by little.This kind of aura made the young man next to him panic. After thinking for a while, he decided to push her to wake her up. This kind of symptom can be seen in everyone who has experienced brutal wars.

Yuki was shaken vigorously until she woke up, her forehead was dripping with sweat, her face was pale, as if she had suffered from a serious illness, her eyes were a little loose, realizing that it was just a dream, Yuki pursed her lips, then got up and walked to the bathroom go.Facing himself in the mirror, Yuki actually felt a little disgusted, suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart, washed his face again, and returned to the carriage after making sure that his face had eased a bit.Raising his wrist and looking at the hour hand on the watch, he will arrive at his hometown in half an hour. Although it was first liberated there, Yuki, who has been on various fronts, has never had the chance to go back.

Dragging the military suitcase and walking out of the train station, Yuki looked up at the blue sky, "I'm back" said calmly, and walked towards the nearest flower shop, she planned to buy a bouquet of flowers to commemorate Those who died for this land.Not many people walked into the flower shop, and there were not many post-war flowers, some of which were only a few kinds. Yuki chose a few lilies, and when paying, the clerk asked if he wanted to write something on it. Yuki thought for a while, then took out a notebook from the pocket of her overcoat, then wrote a few lines on the notebook with a pen to show to the clerk, and pointed to her throat with her finger, the clerk immediately understood, the look in her eyes There was a tactful pity in it, but Yuki saw it clearly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, took the bouquet with blessings written on it, bowed and walked out.

At some point, a dark cloud floated outside, and the blue sky just now turned gray.It seems that it must pass quickly, this kind of weather indicates the coming heavy rain, and I walked all the way with the bouquet.The footsteps stopped at the village that carried my childhood. At this time, the construction after the war did not seem to be very smooth, and there were still house wrecks that had been turned into wood slag by bombers.There was a wooden sign beside Yuki's feet. The peeling red paint on it made it hard to see what was written on it, but Yuki recognized it at a glance. It was the name of his hometown. The sign was stripped from the ruins, and the floating soil scattered on it was wiped off. Yuki put the sign on a pillar at the entrance of the village, then put the bunch of flowers in his hand in front of the sign, and then stood up and stared at the sign for a long time. Sign, the sky is now dripping with dots of raindrops, and the raindrops hit the petals of the white lily, which is particularly eye-catching. In this gray background, only this bunch of lilies broke through the thick gray to reveal the holy of light.

The rain gradually became heavier.Yuki returned to the station again, only then did she realize that she didn't seem to have a home, and where she should go became a question. She sat on the bench at the station and wanted to wait for the rain to calm down, but the old wound on her body I was protesting, but my body was not as good as before. This is a fact that Yuki had to admit. Time is not forgiving. She sighed psychologically and went to the duty room to pick up a cup of hot water. She accidentally saw the train schedule, which said to go to Nagoya. Yuki hurriedly raised his wrist to take a look at the train, it was an hour before leaving, it was great.

Yuki boarded a train bound for Nagoya when she was a child.If Reina is still alive, then she will definitely go back.Yuki even began to wonder about seeing Rena at the train station, did she lose weight again?Are you hurt?Is it still not eating well like before? If I can see her, I really want to say that word to her that I have never said, just now. . . . .Yuki's fingers couldn't help caressing the scar on her neck, the scar that almost killed her and made her unable to speak anymore.Linnai, I may owe you an I love you in this life. . . . . . .

Sitting in front of the glass window, looking at the rain outside, Yuki opened the notebook that recorded every bit of her and Reina, and turned to the second page, which said that in the second week of enrollment, Rena was confessed by others , I was very unhappy and quarreled with her.Yuki looked at that sentence, hesitated for a moment, then marked off the back half with a pen, and added a sentence at the end, I forgive her.

The train slowly drove towards Nagoya, the sky was cloudy and raining, and there was still a cool wind blowing.Is there anyone in this world waiting for her return?
