She looked up and glanced at the shadow cast on the back of her hand by the clouds.
I looked up at the dark clouds in the sky again.
"It's going to rain...!"
Tsubaki turned to look at Ichinose beside her, her little face full of excitement:
"Ichinose-neechan, shall we go splash in the puddles together?"
"Xiaochun has never gone out to play in the rain before!"
Honami Ichinose looked at the girl in front of her, whose fate was full of twists and turns, and who rarely showed an innocent smile except in this dream woven by her subconscious.
She couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Ichinose reached out and gently ruffled Tsubaki's hair.
"No, Tsubaki is still a child. If she gets wet in the rain..."
Halfway through her sentence, Ichinose suddenly noticed the fading sadness in the girl's eyes.
Her heart softened, and she naturally changed her tune and compromised:
"If Xiaochun really wants to go play in the water, that's not impossible."
"But at least go back and change into a raincoat first. That way, when you get tired of playing, you can take off the raincoat and change into dry clothes, so you won't catch a cold or get sick because your hair is wet."
Upon hearing that Ichinose had agreed to her request, Tsubaki immediately cheered.
He nodded vigorously.
"Yes! Xiaochun is the most obedient!"
She turned around and ran with cheerful steps toward the small wooden house that was simulated by the barrier behind her.
As she ran, she didn't forget to turn back and wave to Ichinose and Horikita Suzune:
"Then Tsubaki will go get the raincoats! I'll also get one for each of Ichinose-neechan and Horikita-neechan!"
Honami Ichinose smiled and nodded, her gaze gentle as she watched the little girl run into the house.
However, after Kugaoka Tsubaki's figure completely disappeared...
Ichinose's smile gradually faded.
She pursed her pink lips slightly, lost in thought.
Sitting to the side, Horikita Suzune naturally took in Ichinose's emotional changes.
As she tidied up the toys around her, she coldly reminded her:
"I understand how you feel right now, Ichinose."
"To be honest, after learning about her experience, I also didn't want to shatter this beautiful dream with my own hands, and I didn't want Xiaochun to wake up from this brief peace."
Horikita Suzune gazed intently into the distance:
"But even if we do nothing and just stay here with her..."
"This Holy Grail War will only last seven days at most. Once the war ends and the barrier collapses, she will eventually be forced to face reality."
She turned her head and looked directly into Ichinose's eyes:
"Rather than letting her fall into the abyss when her hopes are at their peak, we should find a way to resolve the external crisis as soon as possible and bring her back to reality."
"Let me heal her."
"Then, in the real world, won't we be able to legitimately accompany her to play in the water and spend some time with her?"
Listen to Horikita Suzu's analysis.
Ichinose naturally understood.
"yes......"
She responded softly, her voice so soft it was as if she were afraid of disturbing the girl inside, "I know."
"Horikita-kun, thank you for reminding me."
Just as the two girls were each silent, secretly sorting out their thoughts.
"crunch-"
Kujira Tsubaki ran out from inside.
Ironically, the child seemed impatient to get out and play in the water, skipping the proper dressing process altogether.
He simply haphazardly pulled a large, bright yellow children's raincoat over his head, without even fastening the buttons, and stumbled into the rain like a happy little yellow duck.
"Sister! Come and see!"
After running a short distance, Kuangqiu Chun suddenly stopped.
She lowered her head, pointed to the ground beneath her feet, and waved excitedly towards Ichinose and Horikita under the wooden porch, as if she had discovered a new continent:
"This rain is amazing!"
"The raindrops fell, but they didn't get on me at all! They all went to the side!"
