death of hope

Before we even reached the basement, when we went down the stairs, we could already see spider webs and smell a faint smell of mold.
The steps are made of wood and creak when you step on them.
Seeing a big man over two meters tall bending down and stepping on the steps with his big feet wearing shoes of size 50 or so, Toru Yamayama was very worried.
To be precise, he was worried about the big guy hitting his sister.

"Hey, Jinguji-san." He patted the big man on the shoulder.

"What's the matter?"

"You're too tall and heavy. It wouldn't be good if you step on the steps and hit someone."

"You kid, you are not worried that I will break my leg. Instead, you are worried that my sister is here. Okay, tell me the truth! Do you like her?!"

·
Yamato Toru also thought that his thoughts had been read, and he was so nervous that he stuttered when he spoke:
"I...I'm just going to complain about the quality of your stairs! You guy! Make some random guesses...what?!"

"It's normal to like it! Everyone has the love for beauty, hahahaha!" Jinguji Takatoshi laughed boldly, and then said:

“My sister has such good looks, such figure, and such temperament!

Any man who looks at it will be unable to walk~ Unless that guy has a 'special hobby', don't you think so, Shanshan-san~"

Hearing this, Jinguji Yuna wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, turned around, waved her arms and protested:

"Brother! I hate it!"

"Hey, my sister is now an adult. She is shy, and her little face is as red as a monkey's butt! She's so cute~"

Jinguji Takatoshi straightened up with joy, and his head hit the top of the stairwell with a "thud!" The pain made him grin and said, "Ouch!"

"elder brother?!"

"I'm fine... Oops..."

Yamato Tetsuya curled his lips: "Look, this is the retribution for speaking out. It is a right thing to repay in this life."

"Well said! Retribution! That's right!" Yuna Jinguji covered her mouth and smiled. She looked back and thought her brother's classmate was very interesting.

When we got to the underground floor and entered the room, the lights were dim and there was an indescribable, unpleasant earthy smell.
Scars formed by the accumulation of mold can be seen everywhere on the walls and ceiling. There are only a few simple pieces of old furniture, no bookshelves, and a large pile of books stacked on top of each other on the hard cement floor.

Since it is a semi-basement structure, there are only a few windows that cannot be opened to see the outside. There is an exhaust fan, but the ventilation efficiency is very low.

The room was too small, and there was no room for a bed, so it had to be made on the floor. The so-called 'writing table' was just a pitifully small old tea table.
If you want to read and write, you can only sit cross-legged, which must be doubly uncomfortable given the tall figures of the Jinguji brothers and sisters.

·
"Brother, squat down quickly, let me take a look..."

Seeing a small bump on the top of her brother's head, the blond girl said distressedly:
"It's swollen, it hurts a lot..." "I'm fine."

"It hurts so much that my mouth is crooked. It's okay. I'll go get some ointment."

Jinguji Yuna found a rusty biscuit box and poured out all the messy gadgets inside.
She was very happy to find the ointment. She quickly opened the package and carefully applied it to her brother.

"As expected of my sister, she knows how to love people. If anyone marries her, it will be a blessing earned in eight lifetimes~"

"elder brother!"

"Big man, if you are still talking nonsense here and have no sense of what you are saying, God will definitely punish you by kowtowing your head a hundred times. Your head will be full of bruises, just like Tathagata Buddha~"

"Hahaha! So talented!"

Jinguji Yuna laughed out loud: "Shanzan-kun, what you say is so funny."

·
The blond girl's instant radiance shocked him,

Yamato Tetsuya was fascinated by those silver-grey pupils, feeling like the world was spinning and his whole body was numb:

(I seem to have stepped on a wire. Is this what it feels like to be in love? No... this is too exaggerated... something is wrong...)
The big man was surprised to see Tetsuya Yamama twitching as if he had been electrocuted. Then, he noticed changes in the air flow around him.
She grabbed her sister's hand and raised her head suddenly. A few strands of Jinguji Yuna's golden hair floated, her eyes radiated a faint silver light, and bright red blood dripped down her nose.

"It's not good! Yuna! Yuna! Wake up!"

Before Shan Tetsuya fell into coma, he saw an incredible sight in a daze;
The big man shook his sister desperately, trying to wake her up,

Several colorful National Geographic magazines piled on the tea table seemed to have escaped gravity and floated strangely in the air.
Also floating at the same time was himself...

He wanted to speak but couldn't control his vocal cords.

he felt it,
An invisible force is running around uncontrollably.

Powerful, indescribable force,
Fear dominated him, and then an indescribable sleepiness came over him.

The floating magazine suddenly fell down, and so did I.
It's black before my eyes,
There is no dream,

Only darkness, endless darkness,

into the abyss...
