[bright] time

(light side)

Two o'clock in the morning,

Thick clouds blocked all starlight and moonlight, and in this dark curtain, a strange black shadow entered, stepping on silent steps towards Taya's house.

This is the second time I walked on this road in the dark, and it was very handy.Which road will not be crowded and which alley is the best way to avoid people's eyes and ears, this man has already investigated very clearly.

When he came to the door, he passed the railing and pulled the latch, and entered the courtyard of Taya's house.Walking along the wall to the backyard, he glanced at the masterpiece completed last month, recalling the feeling of pulling out those beautiful creatures at that time, he couldn't help evoking a sly and treacherous smile.

Continuing to walk along the wall, came to the outside of the Taya couple's room, opened the window that was secretly unlocked when attending the Taya research meeting three days ago, and the man took off his shoes and sneaked into the house without any difficulty.

On tiptoes, step lightly, first go to the corridor and pick up the microphone to prevent any possibility of waking the target person, and finally come to the target's room.Opening the sliding door, Taya Ryo lay on his side on the quilt covered with a quilt.The sound of regular breathing indicates that the person is in a deep sleep state.

It's time for pranks!

I was admitted as a chess player in the same year, but this person's brilliance is always better than mine.

I can only linger in the damp and cold shadow.

On the chessboard, I can't find my sense of existence,

My chess, there is no way to move anyone.

No applause, no cursing, plain chess skills,

I'm just a dispensable person,

Playing dispensable every move,

No effect,

It has no effect on this "world".

Looking at the bright and fair side face.

I know, you never let anyone touch your hair, right?

So what I'm going to do next,

How will His Royal Highness, who is unwavering on the chessboard, react?

Open your palms, put your hands between the bright hair and neck, close your palms, and store the black straight hair in your palms. This person couldn't stop his excitement, parted his mouth and smiled slyly, just like a few Like the previous prank, he felt the world was in his hands.

Let me see your regretful face,

Let me show you my strength, Taya-kun,

Through the...influence caused by me!

The man took out a pair of pointed scissors for cutting hair from behind.

This brand new knife shone silver-white in the dark.

Opening two sharp teeth, approaching the bright hair,

Clenching two iron teeth, listening to the sound of the sharp teeth "click" and "click" biting off each other's hair, I feel that the other's hair is lying in my hand one by one, becoming my own.Imagining that he would soon be able to see this distraught expression in the chess academy, the man felt complacent in his heart.

However, at this moment, a strange pulling sensation caused the sleeping person to slowly open his eyes──

"who is it!?"

***

The taxi came to the door of Liang's house, and Guang got out of the car and stood in front of the open door.

The door... is open?Taya is not someone who forgets to close the gate.

But the door inside is closed again?

Hikari walked into the courtyard and tried to pull, but the door was locked.Just when Guang felt puzzled, the silence of the night was cut through, and an extremely angry roar came from the room.

"Don't touch my hair──! ! 』

There's someone else... in it! ?

"Taya──!!" Hikari slammed on the sliding door and shouted into the inside.

No matter how much the light shakes or beats on the locked door, there is no way to open it.

Hikaru took a step back, kicked with all his might, and with a loud "snap", the acrylic panel inlaid on the wooden frame of the sliding door bounced out.Guang squatted down, reached into the crack of the door to unlock it, and entered the room.

"Taya──!! Answer me!!"

Seeing the microphone being picked up in the corridor, without taking off his bare shoes, he rushed directly to the scene of the dream - the bright room.Opening the door of Liang's room, in the darkness, Guang saw a black shadow of a man sitting straddling the quilt, and under the quilt was Liang who was covering his mouth and struggling constantly.

"You bastard!!"

This scene simply drove Guangqi crazy, grabbing the man by the collar and throwing him aside, suppressing the urge to immediately dismember this man, Guang first helped Liang who was lying under the quilt.

"Taya!"

"...Shinto..." In the dark room, Ryo answered in a low voice, the words were mixed with the sound of heavy breathing.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Suddenly, Guang felt a strange feeling on the back of his right hand, a tearing feeling when something sharp was scratched.This was left when he grabbed the man by the collar and pushed him away.

Guang licked the pain on the back of his right hand, and the unknown liquid mixed with the smell of rust spread on the tip of his tongue.

Blood….

It was dark all around, I couldn't see Taya's current situation, it was dark all around...

Hikari tightened his left arm to hug Ryo even tighter, Ryo's call just now and the warmth in his arms now are the sedatives that make Hikari still calm now.Desperately comforting myself in my heart:

Taya must be fine, must be fine.

The light quickly slapped the switch on the wall hard, and the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling turned on.

The sudden light caused Guang to close his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he saw Liang in his arms with a pale face, his eyes closed tightly, and bright red blood was flowing from the side of his fair neck, which was originally aqua blue. The neckline of her pajamas has been dyed dark red.

"Impossible...impossible...impossible...!"

The one who was thrown aside by Guang was Zhenchai, looking at the blood on Liang's neck and the blood-stained scissors in his hand, he shook his head in disbelief:

"I just... want to cut his hair! I just... it's his fault... it's his fault!! Who told him to struggle! It's none of my business!! Yes, it's none of my business...! It's dead It's none of my business!!!"

Mashiba unlocked the window and tried to escape.

For Hikari, who is the culprit?And why do these things?All the reasons and reasons are irrelevant.

Because of Mashiba's last sentence, the current light has completely lost his mind.

"You bastard ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Pulling back, Machai, who was about to escape out the window, fell to the ground, twisted the collar of his shirt, and punched Machai on the right cheek the moment the button was undone. on the ground.

Zhenchai touched his swollen face, lying on the ground and howling in pain.

However, Hikari, who had entered a state of madness, of course would not stop there. He lifted Mashiba's chin and lifted him up high, stretched his arms and punched him in the stomach.The violent impact made Zhenchai fall to the ground with his hands on his stomach and knees, and fell to his knees:

"Forgive me..., I just..., just wanted to..."

"Just? Just what!? How dare you say it? I can't tell you──!!"

Twisting up Mashiba's collar again, just as Hikari was about to make a second punch, someone with a lot of weight hugged Hikari's arm from behind.

"That's enough, Shinto!" It was Kurata who spoke, and Hikari had called them on the way to Ryo's house.

"Mr. Kurata, let me go!! This bastard put Taya... let me go!!"

Hikaru desperately tried to break free from Kurata's grip, and approached Mashiba who was coughing in a corner.

"Brother Ogata! Help! This kid is crazy!" Kurata turned his head and shouted at Ogata,

"Let go of me──!! I won't let him go!!"

After seeing Ryo's wound, Ogata said to Hikari, "Shinto!! Ryo is fine, it's just a flesh wound!"

"Let go──!!" Hikari dragged Kurata desperately towards Mashiba's location,

"This kid can't hear anything at all!! I can't hold back anymore!!" Kurata's face was pushed to the point of deformation by the light.

"Shinto! Don't do that with a shogi player's hand!!"

Liang leaned against the wall, pressed a handkerchief to his wound and shouted to Guang:

"I don't want to... I don't want to play chess with that kind of person. That kind of person is not qualified to take chess pieces at all.

He sullied Go..., sorry for the calluses on his right fingertips.Even if I take the initiative to admit defeat, I don't want to play chess with that kind of person again.into the rattan!I don't want you to be that kind of person! "

Mashiba stopped coughing, and looked at the calluses on his fingertips that had formed from playing chess for many years.There was a sound of sobbing and crying from the face buried under the hands.A very regretful and sad cry.

Guang's excited heart cooled down, and he said slowly:

"You can let go, Mr. Kurata. I won't mess around."

Walking to Liang and squatting down, he opened Liang's hand and looked at the wound he was pressing. It was a nail-sized wound, and the blood was still flowing, but not as fast as before.

"There's a lot of blood, I thought you...──....It hurts, right?"

"A little bit." Ryo shook his head, his eyes fell on the bandage that had come off of Hikari's left wrist.

"A little bit?... Hmph..."

Taya is not a liar, but he is very patient.

No pain is a little pain, a little pain is a lot of pain.

After the scissors passed through the skin of the neck and then cut it abruptly, how painful would it be at that moment?

I thought I would never hear such brash words again,

I will never hear him teach me about Go again.

Barely able to breathe, even becoming a murderer.

At this time, I finally realized that Taya's existence is so important to me...

"I'm so naive, why didn't I find out sooner!!"

Hikaru punched the wall hard, regretting.

"Shinto, it's not your fault alone. None of us thought Taya-sensei was one of the targets."

Kurata patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Ogata just watched Hikari and Ryo's interaction without saying a word.

The siren of an ambulance came from outside the door, and Hikari and Ryo boarded the ambulance together, while Ogata and Kurata stayed at Taya's mansion to deal with Mashiba's affairs.It is certain that he will be removed from the professional chess player list. As for whether he should be handed over to the police, it will probably be debated for a while.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark, but the dark clouds had dispersed, and a few faint stars could be seen vaguely.

Some people have discovered it, some people have not, but from this event, from this moment, everything will become different.

***

"We will deal with the real firewood. You are responsible for repairing the door that was destroyed by you, and you can only go back after mopping up the dirt that you stepped on."

The teacher said this after calling Ogata-sensei in the emergency room to report that Taya's wound was healed.

So I took a taxi with Taya back to his house.

Take care of everything, it's four o'clock in the morning, a very delicate time.

"Stay here. You're tired too. The tram hasn't left yet." Taya, who helped me mop the floor, said so.

In this way, I spent the night at Taya's house for the first time in a long time.

In the guest room, through the paper door, a faint street light shines into the room. I just lie on the quilt and look at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

At this time, a thin figure appeared on the other side of the paper door.

"Can't sleep?" Sitting up, Guang asked the shadow on the paper door,

"The pillow...was stained with blood, as was the bedding. Can I...sleep here?" Shadow replied.

Guang smiled with his nose: "This is your home, you can sleep anywhere you want!"

Guang walked out of the bed and opened the paper door to let Liang in.

Under the night, the white street lamp shone on Liang, and the light clearly saw that Liang had changed into clean pajamas, and there was no blood stain on the neckline, but the white bandage wrapped around his neck was so eye-catching.

The shocking scene was reversed back to Hikari's head in an instant.

Just as Light frowned, Liang was tightly embraced by Light into his arms.

"Shinto?" Liang froze, not daring to move.

This kind of hug was very strange to him, and he had never had such intimate contact with anyone since he was sensible.

"Taya... I'm sorry. It's fine for a while, just for a while... Can't you?"

Guang's voice was trembling, and his arms were getting tighter and tighter, as if he could not tolerate Liang's refusal, but also as timid as if he was afraid of losing Liang's trust.

Such a helpless light made Liang feel very strange.sighed,

"...all at once."

"Thank you. It will be all right."

"your hands…"

"You hate the smell of ointment?"

"No, why didn't you let the doctor see it just now? It should be more serious."

"There is still medicine in the bag, you can just tie it up yourself. And I am more worried about your injury."

When Liang was suturing the wound in the emergency room just now, Guang stayed by and watched.He looked worried.

"...for a long time. I want to sleep." Ryo changed the subject.

"You really don't have any tolerance at all. Say it all at once. Tsk, forget it, make your bed for you."

Guang opened the closet, took out the quilt and spread it on the floor,

"I can do it myself. Your hands are not convenient."

Ryo then took out the quilt and pillows, quickly tidied them up, lay down on the quilt, and said to Hikari next to him:

"Good night." Don't turn your head away, lie on your side and go to sleep.

Is he really that sleepy?

Although he didn't quite understand it, Hikaru said good night and lay down to rest.

***

At noon, newspapers were spread all over the backyard of Taya's mansion, and a high chair was placed in the center, and Ryo sat on it.A set of tools for cutting hair was placed on the edge corridor.

Guang spread out a piece of thin, slippery cloth, with two ribbons tied at one end, which Akiko sewed to fix her neck to prevent her hair from falling into her clothes.

"Is it really okay for me to cut it?" Taya's hair was cut off by Mashiba and had to be trimmed, but I didn't expect that person to be me.

"Um."

Last night...no, this morning, just as I was about to close my eyes and fall asleep, Taya suddenly said

"Can you cut my hair after I wake up?"

When I heard it, I woke up completely.

"You don't want people to touch your hair?"

"You are a friend, not someone else."

I should be happy to hear such words from Taya.

However, at this moment, I feel very dissatisfied.

Relationships like "friends" make me very unsatisfied.But nothing is enough.

Maybe something is wrong with me?

Cover Liang with the cloth, pull up the two ends of the ribbon and wrap it around Liang's back, gently lift up the hair, pick up the big hair clip clipped on his clothes, and pin it to the end of the bundled hair, and fix it on the Bright head, revealing beautiful hairline.

"Tell me if it hurts." Guang wrapped the ribbon around Liang's neck, fearing that it would hurt Liang's wound, he gently tied a knot on the circle of white bandage.

Very thin,

Taya's neck is very slender, and the palms of both hands can easily fill it.

And that guy actually... Every time I think about it, I want to go back to that moment and kick him a few more times.

"Shindo?" The light that had not moved for a long time made Ryo feel strange.

Guang came back to the corridor and took a mirror to Liang, and put the pointed scissors and flat comb in the back pocket of his jeans.

He removed the clips from the shiny hair and clipped it back to the end of the T-shirt, and ran his fingers through the shiny hair to loosen them.

"My enviable guest, what haircut do you want today?"

"Don't be kidding. It's fine as before."

"Tsk, sister, how old do you plan to keep it?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Yes, according to the customer's request."

Picking up the water spray bottle and pressing it down a few times, wetting Liang's hair and putting it back on the ground, he took out the flat comb in his pocket to comb his hair neatly, pointed to the place five centimeters below Liang's ear, and said to Liang in the mirror:

"Is it okay here?"

"Can."

"Then I'll cut it!"

"it is good."

Just pull out the scissors and cut a rough length first, then slowly repair it.The scissors are either held horizontally or straight. When I think of it, I will pick up the flat comb and comb it twice, and then continue to cut, which looks very familiar.

"Do you often cut other people's hair?"

"This is the first time."

"Does not look like."

"Who told me to go to the beauty parlor once a month for an internship, my body remembers it?"

"Does your hair grow so fast?"

"I'm going to dye my hair."

"Dye your hair? Isn't your hair like this?"

"It's better to have such a convenient thing, how much effort did I spend to maintain this hairstyle."

"But Mr. Ashihara said that Shinto's grandmother is Danish."

"Mr. Ashihara again! If you have any questions, can you just ask me next time?

Yes, my grandma is blonde, but I am not.The blond gene is recessive and can easily be replaced by the dominant brunette gene.My dad's hair was always dark brown.In the entire Shinto family, only my grandma has blonde hair.Although she didn't say it, everyone could see that she was lonely.As a result, on one of her birthdays, I was sacrificed.I was five years old. "

"Five years old... You have many cousins, why are you being sacrificed?"

"My mother has never had good luck with signing."

"It hasn't been dyed since then?"

"Why do you want to dye it back? I really like it. After cutting it, how about it?"

Liang looked in the mirror,

"Well, yes."

Light cracked his mouth and smiled,

"Bang Hai can help you fix it too?"

"...Okay, thank you." After saying that, Ryo immediately closed his eyes.

Shock.

The action of Ryo closing her eyes obediently gave Hikari quite a shock.

Light seemed to vaguely hear Akiko's exhortation to Liang:

"When you cut your bangs, you have to close your eyes so that your hair doesn't get into your eyes!"

Taya under the armor is very simple, pure and attractive;

But he never took off his armor easily.

Finally, he regarded me as a friend and was willing to trust me,

I was... attracted by him like this,

Not satisfied with the relationship between the only friend and the greatest rival....

It's not jealousy, Zuo Wei.

Desire is the greatest sin of mankind.

I feel terrible about myself.

It seems that one step forward will lead to the abyss of hell.
