Promise to the Rainbow

Chapter 6 Returning to the place where the nightmare started (1)
Those cowardly people, even if they wait until their hair turns gray,
I will never understand, the throbbing of falling in love with someone!

If so, I'd rather be Ultraman who defeats fear!
1.
Memories are like a continuous spider web, the more I try to break free, the tighter it wraps me.

The scenes at that time seemed to be just yesterday, so they were slowly replayed, and every detail was clearly reproduced.

That year, I just entered Qingyin Academy.

"Nanai, don't forget tonight's training!"

"Yeah, Nana, you have to come early, you are our lead singer!"

"No problem, you have to be on time too!" I said happily to the choir members with a bright smile on my face.

This day is the day when the choir selects new members. Before that, I have worked hard for half a year, just to take advantage of this opportunity to join the choir and really start my campus life in Qingyin College.

After the selection, the result was beyond my expectation.

Not only was I selected into the choir, but the instructor asked me to be the lead singer!
Such great good news broke into my life without any warning. I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear for the whole day, and I had a smirk on my face from time to time, completely immersed in my dream.

Even if I'm treated as an idiot, I can't hide my good mood right now!
After several months of training, my singing skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and not long after, the first grand performance is coming!

The training of the choir suddenly became busy.

My whole body seems to be wound up, repeating the training every day, but my heart is full of happiness, and I don't feel tired at all.

Because, all of this is working hard for my dream, my musical dream.

I seem to be wearing the wings of an angel, carrying my little dream on my back, and striving forward.

at last……

On the day of the performance, I put on a beautiful little white dress, and I am about to perform in front of thousands of spectators!

The heart became more and more difficult to calm down, as if a deer was bumping into it.

"Nana, congratulations! I didn't expect you to get the position of lead singer!" Aoi appeared in front of me holding a bottle of mineral water, and the smile on her face was a bit far-fetched.

Aoi really deserves to be my best friend. In this tense moment, she is the only one who cheers me up. But why is her smile so stiff?Is she worried about me too?
"Aoi, I will definitely work hard! I know that being the lead singer is also your dream, so I will carry your dream and perform to the best." I held Aoi's hand, and my heart was instantly filled with infinite energy.

When Aoi heard my words, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.But soon, that familiar warm smile returned to the corner of her mouth. She handed me the mineral water in her hand and said, "Drink some water and moisten your throat."

"Well, thank you Aoi, Aoi is the best!" I took the mineral water in Aoi's hand and gulped it down.

"Fujisawa Nai, you are the decisive factor in the success of today's performance, you must work hard!" Just after drinking the water, the teacher walked to my side, and I could see his expectations for me in his eyes .

Such words made my restless heart beat faster.

I could feel my hands trembling, but at this juncture, I could only muster up the courage to step onto the stage.

Fujisawa Nana, you have been waiting for this moment for so long, don't be nervous, don't be afraid, you're fine!
I want to bring Aoi's dream and the teacher's expectation to give my best performance!

I told myself silently, but my legs were like being filled with lead, and every step was so heavy. I mustered up the courage and finally stepped onto the stage.

At that moment, my heart actually calmed down, like a quiet lake in summer, without a single ripple.

The light hit my face, and I was slightly blinded. I stood at the front of the stage, and behind me were the choir members who were training with me these days.

With the beautiful accompaniment sounding slowly, the singing is finally about to start.

I was lucky, and when I was about to start singing, something happened that I didn't expect.

my throat!

Why does it seem to be imprisoned, but it can't make a sound?

I tried hard to hope that I could sing, but I just opened my mouth blindly, but I couldn't even make a sound!
I lost my voice?

What a situation!God!

I shouted again and again in my heart, but I was greeted by faces in the audience looking at each other. The audience talked a lot, and there were sneers from time to time.

I am like a funny clown, standing on the brightly lit stage, but just moving my mouth blindly, the rhythm of the music changes slowly, beating my heart again and again.

I no longer remember how I walked off the stage, how I explained it to the teacher, or what I said to apologize to the group members.

Only at that time, there was a burst of discussion around me, slowly swallowing my heart.

"That idiot! Because of her own mistakes, all our hard work in the past few months has been in vain!"

"That's to say, let's see how she ends up now."

A single sentence is scarier than the sharpest knife, piercing my heart with holes, and I don't want to be like that...

Since then, I have quit the choir, and my voice has never been the same again.

It's like there is a lock on my throat, and my talent will only burst out on special occasions.

However, what is "special time", even I do not know.

Memories... terrible memories...

I thought I had gradually forgotten that terrible experience, but I didn't expect that when I thought about it today, I still felt cold all over and couldn't help shivering.

It turns out that the past is so hard to forget.

2.
After escaping Hiroshi Sato's spell, I came to the playground alone.

Cherry blossom petals are drifting in the wind like strawberry candy, and the faint pink color makes the sky charming and moving.

Sitting on the playground, I looked like a frightened rabbit, looking at the world in front of me in panic.

woohoo...

Am I going to be imprisoned by the past for a lifetime?
It's really scary!
I thought I'd let it go.

But just now, Hiroshi Sato's words were like vines with thorns, entangled my heart in an instant.

But why did he make such a strange request to me?

How did he know that I had something to do with the choir?
too weird!

I was thinking about it, but I couldn't understand why this boy fell from the sky, and why he made such an inexplicable request to me!

faint!God, give me an answer please!

You know I'm an idiot!How can I figure out such a complicated thing.

Oh, what a painful feeling, my mind is full of messy things, as if it is about to explode!
"Nai Nai, why are you sitting on the playground by yourself?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

With such a sweet voice, it must be Aoi!
I quickly turned around and saw Aoi Ito standing behind me with a signature smile on her face.

"Aoi, why are you here?" I raised my head and asked Ito Aoi to sit beside me.

It was like seeing a savior, and finally rescued me from the swamp of doubt.

Well, it's okay, if I'm left here alone to think about it, I guess my head will really explode like a popcorn machine with a "bang".

"I saw that you were not in the classroom, so I came out to look for you. Why are you sitting here by yourself?" Ito Aoi stared at her beautiful big eyes with doubts on her face.

How could I have the nerve to tell Aoi the real reason?Moreover, and I don't want to expose my scars again.

A slight gust of wind blows along with the breath of green grass, and my hair dances with the wind.

"This, this, just sitting here in a daze." I prevaricated.

Ito Aoi cleared her throat, but it seems that there are more questions waiting for me: "Nana, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday, are you not angry? How about your misunderstood senpai's confession to you?"

What happened yesterday?Does Aoi mean leaving me there alone?
sweat!How could I be angry with Kwai, what's more, everything behind is also caused by myself!

But how did Aoi know that I misunderstood my senior's confession?
Alas, thinking of Kunozawa-senpai's appearance yesterday, I can't help but feel a dull pain in my heart.

"Crack-pump-"

Ito Aoi patted my shoulder vigorously, shrugged and said, "Nana, it's good that you're not angry! By the way, I heard that you confessed your love to Kunozawa-senpai yesterday?"

what!Even Aoi knows?Ruined!It must have spread throughout the school!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help lowering my head depressedly, and there was another dark cloud above my head.What happened in the drama club hall yesterday really made me feel ashamed!
"Well, I rehearsed with my seniors, Aoi, you must trust me." Even I feel that my explanation is not credible at all...

woohoo-

"Is that so? But how did I hear that you really confessed your love to the senior?" Ito Aoi's eyes slowly turned to me, as if trying to see through me.

"No such thing!" The smile on my face must be super embarrassing!
But, how should I tell Aoi?I like Kunozawa-senpai, but I never told her!
If I could dig a hole in the ground right now, I'd be in it!
"Oh? Nana, are you even going to hide it from me?" Ito Aoi frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy.

faint!I am most afraid that Aoi will be unhappy, there is no other way, I can only tell the truth...

"Aoi, I'm not trying to hide it from you. I like Senpai, but I don't know how to tell you..." My voice was timid, and I didn't know how to continue.

"I guessed it a long time ago, but does the senior like you?" Ito Aoi flicked her light brown hair, with a little excitement in her eyes that seemed to reveal the truth.

woohoo-

Of course the senior won't like me anymore!How could the senior like an ordinary girl like me?

"Aoi, don't ask, I don't want to talk about it anymore." I can only prevaricate like this, what happened yesterday is like a terrible nightmare, I don't even want to think about it anymore!

I quickly stood up to prevent Ito Aoi from asking again.

"Since Nana doesn't want to say it, then don't say it. Class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom together?"

Wow, that's great——I didn't know how to explain the whole story to Aoi, and Aoi's words really helped me out again!
"By the way, Nana, how is Yu doing recently?" On the way back, Aoi asked while kicking the stones on the side of the road.

Yo?Why does Aoi keep asking about that guy?

"You're good! We had a phone call yesterday!" I took out my phone and pointed happily.

Seeing my happy appearance, Aoi smiled wryly, but that wry smile disappeared in an instant.

Back in the classroom, there seemed to be fiery eyes looking at me around me, trying to devour me like a flame.These gazes made me blush and my heart beat, and I couldn't calm down for a moment. In a vague way, harsh sneers came.

God, it must have been all over the place yesterday!
"Quack quack—"

Thinking of this, a group of crows flew over my head, and I suddenly felt that the clouds were dense!

I adjusted my expression in embarrassment, but the smile and anxious face must look even more ridiculous!

How could the senior like me like this?
I sat silently in my seat, the teacher walked into the classroom, and the classroom suddenly became quiet.

woohoo...

Fortunately, my world has finally returned to calm, but there are still many murderous eyes focused on me, as if I am a monster from an alien planet.

Also, if you dare to confess your love to the perfect senior of Qingyin Academy, you must be a monster in the eyes of others!It's an outlier!
"Today we're going to talk about vocal music techniques in detail. Students, please take out your notes and take notes carefully. This is related to you..." The voice of the vocal music teacher was like a spell, and it passed into my heart step by step without stopping. ear.

But I was not in the mood to go to class. I didn't know which cloud my thoughts were hiding behind, and I started to think about it.

"Then join the choir."

Huh?Isn't this the voice of Hiroshi Sato?

God?Is he also in this classroom?

As if I had been hit by a voltage of [-] volts, my body trembled unconsciously, acting like a clown with a disconnected wire.

I immediately came back to my senses and looked around, looking for that handsome yet terrifying face.

but……

Except for the fierce vocal teacher, no one spoke at all, let alone the shadow of Sato Hiroshi.

It turned out to be my hallucination!Am I hallucinating?Hiroshi Sato is such a big devil, he actually made such an inexplicable request to me, even if he is not by my side now, his damn voice will still torture me.

"Hu-hu-"

I gasped for breath, hoping to calm down this messed mood quickly.

right!I have to quickly forget what Sato Hiroshi said!Be sure to forget about it!

Had he put some spell on his words?Why did it seem like hundreds of little birds were hovering over my head, instead of him repeating that terrible request?

I shook my head vigorously, trying to drive away the spell-speaking birds.

"Fujisawa Nai! Are you finished? Keep moving! Do you have any opinion on me?" The vocal music teacher shouted at the top of his voice, the full of anger sounded very scary.

"Ah?" I stood up from my seat in a daze, only to realize that the bird on my head was finally driven away by me, haha.

But what greeted me next was another storm.

"Fujisawa Nai, your academic performance is very poor, and you are distracted in class. You will not only affect yourself, but also affect other students!" The vocal teacher stared at a pair of frog eyes, and his face looked familiar because of anger. The transparent apple, and the pointer in his hand danced "咻咻——".

Not only will it affect yourself, but it will also affect other students...

These words from the vocal music teacher instantly brought back memories of the competition at that time. I seemed to lose my soul, and sat blankly in my seat, unable to hear other sounds anymore.

"That idiot confessed to Kunozawa-senpai yesterday."

"I saw her dancing there just now. I don't know if it's really a problem with IQ?"

"What a weirdo, haha."

God, do boys and girls in our class like to pay attention to these gossips so much?Although I don't want to hear any voices anymore, such a series of discussions are like a repeater, repeating over and over again, filling my ears.

The sun shone on the table, and the fine dust became glittering. I slowly stared at the floating dust in a daze, and only hoped that this terrible day would end soon.

3.
Hiroshi Sato, I will never be shaken by your words!
Don't think that with your handsome face, you can change everything!
My decision, Fujisawa Nai, will not be changed easily!

Even today, I can't help shaking when I hear your spell, but it's just because you guys opened my scars!I absolutely!absolute!There is no wavering!
"Ding Lingling - Ding Lingling -"

The bell after class has become the most wonderful music today.

Hoo hoo - get out of class is finally over!

As if being rescued, I finally relaxed a little bit, I have to go home quickly, the ghost wants to stay in school for another minute!

Woo la la, I want to go back to my little nest, only there can give me a sense of security!

"Nana, do you want to go to club activities together?" I was about to run out of the classroom in a hurry, when Ito Aoi grabbed my schoolbag strap.

"I'm sorry, Aoi, I have to go home first." I dropped these words and rushed out of the classroom.

Haha!

Finally escaped!In my eyes, the current school is more terrifying than the [-] floors of hell, but fortunately, I will be able to return to my little den in a short time.

The blue sky is like a canvas, dotted with snow-white clouds, a few sparrows fly by, drawing a beautiful arc, everything is so peaceful.

But in such tranquility, Sato Hiroshi's words appeared in my ears again.

God!There is no end!Do you have to drive me crazy to be reconciled!

Woohoo - I really want to cry.

I ran towards home quickly, and the wind whizzed past my ears, making my ears mixed with the sound of the wind besides the terrible spell.

"boom--"

I kicked open the door of the house, it was kicked open by me unsteadily, and the warm little nest immediately appeared in front of my eyes.

Magazines, underwear, snack bags...all scattered on the ground.

I used to feel very at ease looking at the messy room, but today, why can't I feel a sense of security?
why?
My heart once again felt the tearing pain, like falling into a bottomless ocean, even breathing is so difficult?

In the past, as long as I was in a bad mood, I would recover when I got home, but today everything seems to be not so easy.

"Bang bang—"

I jumped onto the cute little bed and covered my head with the quilt.

The curtains are like monster's big hands, viciously blocking the sunlight out of the window, and nothing can get in. The room is as dark as the sky about to rain, and the quiet atmosphere seems to indicate something.

choir?Where do I have the courage to go to that place again?What's more, I was the one who caused everyone to mess up such an important performance opportunity...

Thinking of this, my headache is about to explode, that damn Hiroshi Sato!

If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be in such pain now!Not to mention the sad memories of the past!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I must not be shaken!Must not!cannot……

I slowly closed my eyes and unconsciously fell asleep in exhaustion.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Fujisawa Nana!"

A demon's voice woke me up from my sleep. I rubbed my sleepy eyes, and the voice kept ringing in my ears.

faint!
I must be dreaming, I am at home now!How could there be Sato Hiroshi's voice?
He must be torturing me with his damned spell again!
"Fujisawa Nana!"

The terrifying voice like a curse came again, as if it was close to the ear.

"Clap clap-"

I patted my cheek hard, wow, it hurts so much!Isn't it dreaming?

"Fujisawa Nai!" Another round of new attacks sounded, as if there was a big monster kicking my door desperately with its big feet.

God, is it Godzilla?very scary!
"Fujisawa Nai, I know you are at home, open the door quickly, I am Sato Hiroshi!"

No way?It can't really be him, can it?I must have heard wrong!

I got up from the bed in a daze, trying to see what happened before the door was broken.
