[Ya Ji] Babel

Mo Qi handed a bouquet of flowers to the girl in front of her, touched her soft hair, smiled and watched the girl bouncing back to her mother.

She waved her hand and said goodbye to the leaving girl, who returned the same bright and sweet smile.

"What a cute child." A clear female voice came from behind, and Miki turned her head to see that Shinomiya Ayase was sitting in a wheelchair holding a handful of forget-me-nots.

"Well, it's very cute." Miao Qi replied, then stroked her hair, raised her eyebrows and took out her phone from her pocket to check the time.

It's 23:[-] p.m., and it's time to get off work soon.The sun sets late in summer, before it gets dark, it should be enough to go to the cemetery in the suburbs and come back.

Thinking of this, Mo Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Qi, are you going today too?" Tsugumi asked, pushing Ayase out of the glass porch of the flower shop to Mi Qi's side.

The pink-haired woman who could no longer be called a girl shyly pursed her lips and smiled, and replied, "Well, because it was agreed."

Hearing such an answer, Ayase and Tsugumi looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads.

"In this case, let's go early today, we will help you look at the store." Said Shinomiya Ayase, raised her hand and stuffed the forget-me-not into the hand of 楪祭. "Take this with you, and say hello to us by the way."

Mo Qi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily, and accepted the bouquet, "Thank you, then I'll go first."

The bustling pedestrians on the street passed the three of them, and the sunset at dusk dyed the sky a warm purple.After saying goodbye to each other like this, Mo Qi packed up his things and left the flower shop early for the suburbs.

Sitting on the speeding tram, she lightly leaned against the glass window to look at the blurry scenery outside, and raised her hand to tighten the necklace around her neck.

The silver cross was pressed against the palm, and it was no longer cold because of the slight body temperature.

It was the only thing left in the ruins after the battle.

"Today, I also had a good time. Ji, Ya."

Whispering, Mo Qi closed his eyes, preparing to make up for the lack of sleep during the slightly longer journey.

The streetscape outside the window slowly disappeared and turned into a vast field.

It has been a long time since the end war, and with the disappearance of the Apocalypse virus and the disbandment of GHQ, Japan is gradually returning to normal order.Affected by the previous incident, under the strong opposition of the Japanese people, the United States and other countries announced that they would no longer interfere in Japan's internal affairs. The newly formed cabinet was dedicated to reviving the country. In a short period of time, Roppongi, Tokyo has been rebuilt from the ruins Prosperity was restored.

The funeral clubs established for the liberation of the motherland were also disbanded.

Shinomiya Ayase, Tsugumi and many members of the funeral club who survived the battle were given new citizenship by the government and lived a normal and stable life.

After more than three months of recuperation and rest, Maki also opened a flower shop in Roppongihara, where the bone Christmas tree was located, with the support of his funeral partner.

Everything is on a peaceful track, but those who saved everything and ended the Book of Apocalypse, few people remember their names.

To this day, there is probably only Qiqi, who will go to visit the two people who have been buried forever for ten years.

After the tram drove for a while, the alarm clock set on the mobile phone rang. Mo Qi opened his eyes and rubbed his sore eyes, stood up and left the carriage amidst the sound of the station announcement.

The afterglow of the dusk is slowly falling. Located in the suburban area is a newly established cemetery. This memorial site is specially built for the people who died in the battle against the Apocalypse virus. There is no real body burial, only Numerous prayer crosses and blank tombstones.

As he walked through the iron gate, he saw the security guard on duty nodding his head and saying hello to him.Due to the frequent visits over the years, the appearance of Mo Qi has been basically known to the security guards, and occasionally there are conversations in a few words. Although they are not to the level of friends, they are not unfamiliar.

Akihito smiled back.

There were a few white pigeons flying by in the field of vision, and the cemetery's cold atmosphere filled the nose as always, and Maki bowed his head and dialed the forget-me-not that Ayase had given him, and walked to the depths.

At this moment, a security guard's shout suddenly came from behind.

"Ah, by the way, Miss Lai Qi, a boy with blond hair asked me to pass this to you today!" The security guard sitting in the duty room suddenly remembered something, picked up a note from the table, and panicked. He ran to the side of Qi Qi who was about to leave, and then handed the note to her. "This is it."

Mo Qi took it in confusion, and after thanking her, she tilted her head and stared blankly at the unfolded note.

"A surprise for you, as a persistent reward over the past few years. Please sign for the gift at the following address."

The handwriting is very strange and scribbled, as if you don't write often, giving people a feeling of holding a pen for the first time.Miao Qi stared at the note for a long time, racking his brains, but couldn't think of who would give it to him.

Giving up thinking about useless things, Mo Qi turned over the note and saw a string of addresses on the back, which turned out to be the residence he was looking for near the cemetery.

In an instant, an inexplicable subtle intuition surged up, and her subconscious told her that this gift must be extraordinary. This feeling was so strong that it even covered up the most important thing in Mo Qi's mind.

Not wanting to delay even the time to visit Jihe Ya, Miao Qi quickly left the cemetery and ran back to his residence.

The twilight sunlight scattered all over the ground, and the warm color blurred the sight, as if walking from reality to dream.Mo Qi tried hard to restrain her excited heartbeat, adjusted her breathing too fast due to strenuous exercise, squeezed her hands tightly, and opened the door.

The orange at dusk enveloped the not-so-large space, and in the clear sunlight that was so clear that even tiny floating dust in the air could be seen, Mo Qi opened his mouth slightly, his eyes suddenly sore.

"...It's not...a dream..."

She walked forward with unsteady steps, afraid that this moment was just a beautiful imagination of her own. The dry and refreshing wind came in from the open window, and the forget-me-nots that had fallen on the ground were rolled up, and the pink and purple petals fluttered all over the place. The house is like a scene that only appears in fairy tales.

"Pray, long time no see."

The brown-haired boy in front of him showed a shy and gentle smile, and beside him was another person whose hair was dyed light blonde by the setting sun.

"Ji... Ya... This must not be a dream."

Tears rolled down his eyes, falling uncontrollably, Mo Qi covered his mouth, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

After decades of long prayers, did God finally hear this deep thought?

Sakura Manji and Chou Shinya, who still maintained their 17-year-old appearance, raised their eyebrows and smiled lightly at the same time, as if to make Miki's confirmation, they held the girl's hand thoughtfully.

It is warm, a temperature that belongs to human beings, and it is passing from the palms of the two of them to the bottom of Qi Qi's heart little by little.

"That's great... that's great... Ayase, Tsugumi, they will be very happy to know..." As she spoke incoherently, Miki shook her shoulders and sobbed endlessly.

Ying Manji and Chou Shenya had no choice but to comfort, waiting for Mo Qi's emotions to stabilize.

After a while, Mo Qi, who had calmed down a little, was finally able to communicate normally, and the pink-haired woman hugged Ji tightly, as if she wanted to make up for the long lost time together in this short time.

Chou Shenya pursed his lips and looked at him with a gentle smile.He can understand the pain of waiting and the feeling of being lost and found again.

Time flows quietly, and the evening sun sinks down.When the lights first came on, in this small room, the three of them cooked dinner together, just like the most ordinary family members, eating at the same table.

After dinner, they sat on the balcony and looked down at the beautiful night view of Tokyo in the distance, watching the beautiful colors of this revived city blooming amidst the prosperity.

After being silent for a long time, Ying Manji broke the quiet and silent atmosphere, and said, "Thank you for being with us for such a long time...for always remembering us."

Mo Qi lowered his head and stared intently at the forget-me-not in his hand, smiled and shook his head.

"No...it's me who should say thank you."

She didn't ask how the two of them got back here, and why they could reappear by her side.I have experienced too much and lost too much, all of which made me understand that instead of being afraid and worrying, it is better to cherish what exists at this time.

Even if all of this will dissipate like a mirror image tomorrow after waking up, but as long as this period of time has passed, the beauty will definitely be engraved in my heart.

So she smiled and said to Ji with a smile: "It is Ji who gave me the meaning of living in the end."

Then, she held Ji's hand on the right, and at the same time took the hand of Chou Shinya on the left. "Yes, it gave me the opportunity to see all the beauty in this world."

Then, she clasped the hands of the two of them in front of her, and raised her head to show a bright smile.

"Welcome back. Ji, Ya."

Welcome back, to a world of beauty and sadness.

The sky is clear, and diamond-like stars are scattered in every corner of the night, illuminating the dark and deep night, clearing away the coldness and loneliness in the darkness.

Chou Shenya and Ying Manji looked at each other and smiled, they held each other's hands tightly, and at the same time stretched out the other hand to cover the back of Mo Qi's hand.

"In the future, there will be countless, countless long times, let's look up at such a beautiful starry sky together."

Mo Qi desperately opened her eyes wide to prevent the liquid from rolling down the corners of her eyes, raised a smile, and shouted in a cheerful and cheerful voice that was rarely seen in the past, as if using the strength of this voice to give herself the courage to believe.

Hearing this, Ying Manji nodded vigorously, and following the gaze of Meiqi, he and Chou Shenya looked up at the bright night sky.

"Yeah, in the future, there will be countless countless—countless time to see more beautiful scenery together. Right, Ya?"

The boy sitting on the other side didn't answer directly, but just smiled softly, put his arm over Miki, and rubbed Ying Manji's messy brown hair.

Ying Manji patted Chou Shenya's hand angrily, and muttered, "I'm not a child, don't rub like this!"

The complaining tone aroused Chou Shenya's sneer instead, and the two immediately started playing with each other as they were children, holding each other's hands.

After making such a noise, the two of them bid farewell to Mo Qi until everyone was exhausted and ready to go to bed.

After solving the worried Inori's constant questioning of "Do you have a place to live?", Kushinya and Sakura Manji left the Inori's house.

There were no trams in the middle of the night, so the two had to walk slowly along the road.

The starlight softly covers the field of vision, and the neon lights of Tokyo in the distance are flickering, like a slide show of fireworks, dazzling and charming.

Ying Manji looked at it for a while, let out a breath, and quietly stretched out his hand to grab the palm of the other person beside him.

He lowered his head and blushed and didn't dare to look at the other party. At least in his only 17 years of life, this was the first time Ying Manji reached out his hand.

A narrow chuckle came from beside him, but soon, Chou Shenya held Ying Manji even harder.

As if blessing, the silver moonlight enveloped the two of them.

"Set, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and in the infinite future, I will never let go."

"..."

"I love you."

"Ok, I know."

"You have nothing to say?"

"..."

"If you don't tell me, I'll let go?"

"Ah, I love you too!"

"It's really insincere, so sad."

Showing a hurt expression on purpose, Chiu Shenya frowned and sighed, holding his heart as if I was very sad.It's hard to see that the always mature and prudent Chou Shenya made such a gesture, and Ying Manji was really deceived by such a gesture in a daze, and immediately felt a mess of guilt.

"Ya!" The brown-haired boy blushed and called the other party's name at a loss, and then, without waiting for Chiu Shenya's reaction, he pulled Ya's collar and kissed the other party's lips.

After the point-and-shoot touch, Ying Manji lowered her head with a blushing face, and whispered, "I love you."

Chou Shenya was startled, raised his arms to hug Ying Manji, closed his eyes and rested his forehead on the young man's slightly trembling shoulders.

There was a moment of silence.

After a long time, Ji's muffled and hoarse voice sounded in Chishenya's ear again.

"Can you promise me one thing?"

"Ok?"

"Don't carry it alone anymore."

"..."

"Stop bearing everything in silence alone."

"..."

"Let's face it together and bear it together."

"set……"

"From now on, we will never be apart, and we will always be together..."

His heart throbbed with a bit of tingling pain, and Chou Shinya, who knew what he was terrified of, tightened his arms.He took a deep breath and replied softly, "Okay."

His voice was firm and dignified, and his expression gentle and reverent.Hearing this, Ying Manji rubbed the corners of his eyes, smiled and hugged Ya back.

The two continued to walk along the street to the distance, and in their later lives, they would always hold each other's hands like this and walk forever.

Time flies by round after round, but in the days to come, the journey accompanied by you will no longer be lonely.

Humans are easily satisfied creatures.

Even small happiness, will be moved.

Humans are also greedy creatures.

Even if it is a minute and a second, I hope for eternity.

But no matter what, thank you, let us be born into each other's world.

Thank you for the fate that allowed us to meet each other.

...and thank you for loving me so deeply.
