the world over the sea

Snow stopped.

In exchange for the awakening of the person who has been groggy for a week——

"Jiao—" a weak sound was exchanged for another person's strong reaction, "Shouldn't I jump from there——If only I met Jing early in the morning——"

The person who said this lost consciousness again after finishing speaking——

Does this sentence come from Nayue's memories of the past?Do you... still remember?Are you lying to me?

"path--"

A few days later, Nayue woke up by herself, and she was the only one at home.As if it was still the same as before, when she was alone...

"You're awake...do you still feel uncomfortable? I'll ask Ju to come over and get you something to eat." As he said that, he wanted to open the same small door.

"Don't...I want you to accompany me..." Then he hugged Jing's body - there was still a little chill on it, it looked like he came back from outside just now, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can see Jing OK.

"Okay...why did you become so clingy all of a sudden...I'm younger than you~ and you're still acting coquettish and shy to me—" He scratched Nazuki's nose while speaking.

If Naizuki didn't reason with Ji, she still hugged Ji's body as before.

"Okay, okay..." He said and pulled Nayue to the sofa, "You sit here and watch TV or magazines, whatever is fine, we will have hot pot at night - two people." Gently on Nayue's forehead kissed.Afterwards, she wrapped Nazuki carefully with a blanket.If he catches the cold again, this child will be overwhelmed——

"It's delicious! You're amazing!" Nazuki, who was tightly wrapped by her belly, was eating hot hot pot right now.His face was flushed, and he was gasping for breath as if he couldn't bear it...

"Slow down—no one will fight with you—" Although he said so, the actual action still caught Nai Yue with a large piece of meat.

"Uh--" Nayue's mouth was so full that she couldn't speak, but she could tell Nayue said, "You can eat too..."

"understood……"

"Nazuki... can I tell you something?" Kai put down his chopsticks, as if he was about to make an important announcement.

Startled by Kiki's behavior, Nazuki's hand that was holding the vegetables suddenly stopped.

"You... actually haven't forgotten—that time."

The truth was revealed in such an understatement—memories that were unwilling to accept seemed to flood out at this time, and the whole body could no longer bear such a great pressure, and began to tremble uncontrollably, with tears streaming down his face.

"I... I didn't want to force you—don't scare me!" Naizuki hugged Nayue, who was in extreme fear, in a panic.

"I will always be with you, trust me." Kage said holding Nayue beside her.

"I will always be with you, trust me." In the hidden memory, that person said the same thing.But... in the end, in the end! !

He just kept crying, as if this was the only way to eliminate the fear in his heart.

"Nazuki..."

The person who has calmed down is now lying on the bed.She didn't seem to be sleepy at all, her eyes were wide open, looking at the darkness outside the window.

…………

"Ki...Can you pretend you don't know? Can you treat me the same as before?" After a long time, this is Naizuki's reply to Kai.

"...you're in pain, aren't you?"

"..."

"I'm the only one who knows about this matter. Sleep at ease——I'll hold you like this and never let go for the rest of my life."

As they spoke, the two slowly fell asleep under the warmth of each other's body temperature.

*******************

Another year of cherry blossom season is coming,

After graduating and entering the society, I went to a school that I wanted or didn't like, and everything went smoothly into the next age...

4

It is also the end and the beginning.

"I'm Natsuki Takahashi."

"I am Baishijing."

"Okay! Everyone already knows each other—Takahashi-san and Shiraishi-san sit on the two empty seats there." There are two empty seats at the end of the classroom, and it is obvious that they have just been taken from the warehouse. There is still some dust on the desk that came up.

"Hey, you are from Tokyo! Everyone there is very difficult to get along with! Don't worry when you come here, everyone is very friendly! I am Morimoto, just call me Mori." A person sitting in front of them Boy, turn around and be the first to introduce yourself.

The whole class was discussing the two newly transferred students, and the teacher didn't care about the noise below.He still talks about it by himself, regardless of the situation below.

"How do you feel?" Sitting side by side on the roof platform, the two said while eating bento.

"Aren't you with me all the time?" Nayue looked at Ji with some distaste, obviously watching her activities all day long.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that you might feel uncomfortable—" Jing lowered his head, looked at his bento and began to eat it embarrassedly.

"That's right, I really trouble you."

"Here... seems to be the right choice." Jing said to the sky. In this school, it is enough to spend a year in peace.

"Takahashi-san...can you teach me this question?"

Nazuki, who was very popular at school, seems to have returned to her original state here - she has a good relationship with everyone, and her relationship with no one can be called close.

But now there is only one close person - Baishijing.For almost a year, Jing has been silently guarding Nayue's side, and will not let what happened before happen again.

"Where do you want to go in college?" Naizuki asked while lying on the bed after taking a shower and sitting next to her wiping her hair.

"I can go anywhere, I don't have any clear goals." The towel, which was wet and cold, was a bit unbearable, and then it was placed on the table.

"Nazuki... You know, my family is a trading company, right. In the future, the company will definitely be managed by me and Shi, and the university will definitely be forced to go to business school, but I have no interest in it, I don't even know what is it……"

"So what do you want to learn?"

"economy!"

"Why did you become so excited all of a sudden!? Have you liked it since you were a child?" Still sitting in front of the desk and messing with his hair indifferently.

"Well! Whether it's Naizuki, you or the managers of the stock market, they can talk a lot of things from a bunch of lines. Don't you think it's amazing? Especially seeing you, Naizuki... every time When I helped you handle the bank deposits, I thought you were amazing..." Then she stood up and helped Nayue dry her hair.Since then, Naizuki's health has been poor, so it is better to be more cautious in all aspects.

"Then let's work hard together!——I can teach you to study." Nai Yue paused for a while, "Before the exam, your game console will be mine."

"Nazuki!~~You are so cruel~~"

"Let's just work towards our goal—" Nai Yue patted on the shoulder, "I'm with you."
