In the still bustling and smiling amusement park, the light and melodious music dispelled all unease and fear, and the bright lights took away all loneliness and cold.
Holding hands is a talisman to safely walk through the night.
Alone, Yukinoshita stood in front of the bench.
She watched the two people walk intimately toward the Ferris wheel, her gaze fixed on their intertwined arms.
Until they disappeared into the crowd, the focus of their gaze remained unchanged, and not a single ray of light appeared in those dark eyes.
"If you arrive late, you're likely to miss out. This saying applies to me too... Ugh, how annoying."
Her eyes narrowed coldly as she gradually tightened her grip on the bag handle, while her soft, warm lips curved into a smile.
With a bright and cheerful laugh, Yukinoshita called out softly to the disappearing figure:
"Finally, I've found you."
"My dearest little Youyou~"
Chapter 125 Sisters' War (The End)
The clouds were too thick today, so we couldn't enjoy the magnificent sunset as it gradually disappeared below the horizon from the Ferris wheel.
However, watching the vast sky take on the colors of dusk from such a close distance, with clouds rolling and unfolding as you face the solemn and tranquil night sky, is also a very pleasant experience.
Hopefully, this guy who's supposedly afraid of heights can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Watching the black-haired girl in front of him take a deep breath and step into the slowly moving Ferris wheel car, Tenkuji Yu smiled silently and followed her in.
"I wish you both a pleasant sightseeing experience."
The carriage door closed, and amidst the slightly envious gazes of the staff, the two people's carriage slowly rose.
Fortunately, the wind wasn't too strong today, so there wasn't much shaking, and the cabin steadily lifted further and further off the ground.
Are you scared?
Turning her gaze away from the window, Tenkuji Yuu looked at the slender girl beside her who was pulling at her scarf, covering half of her face.
She hunched her shoulders, her whole body visibly tense, as if she wanted to be glued to her seat, even her breathing was careful, and she didn't even dare to look out the window.
She was as delicate as a child afraid of ghosts, completely different from the usual Yukino Yukinoshita—but in the end, despite her mature demeanor, she was actually just a girl the same age as herself.
She feels fear, anxiety, and love; she's just that simple and ordinary.
"If I were to say I'm afraid, it's actually not that bad... It's just that I've been reminded of some unpleasant things from the past."
Exhale gently.
Adjusting herself under his gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes slightly, cautiously leaned back in her chair, her thin lips pressed into a straight line with unease, and gave a slightly self-deprecating smile.
“Every time the whole family comes to the amusement park, my sister will cause me trouble.”
Just from hearing her recount this backstory, Tenkuji Yu already knew how the events would unfold.
"When we ride the Ferris wheel, she makes the car sway and wobble; when we ride the roller coaster, she pries my hand off the handrail, and if I show any fear, she laughs without mercy, finding it amusing... Oh, and when we ride the teacup seats, she ignores my warnings and keeps spinning the seat around..."
As Yukino Yukinoshita spoke, her expression grew increasingly somber, seemingly overshadowing her fear of leaving the ground, and a chilling resentment permeated the cabin.
Yuu Tenkuji sighed understandingly: "She really does seem like the kind of person who would do something like this... You must have had a tough time."
“It’s not just me; she does this to most people. She just does it more brazenly with me.” She also let out a soft sigh, resignedly remarking, “Even so, no one hates her for doing this.”
Yuu Tenkuji looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"After all, that's where my sister's charm lies."
As if proud of her older sister, Yukino's tone unconsciously rose, and a light smile appeared on her face.
"Her personality is clearly like that, yet she has always been loved by everyone... No, it is precisely because of that personality that my sister is liked, loved, and given expectations... And she has indeed not disappointed everyone, doing everything perfectly."
At this point, her smile suddenly faded, and her mood plummeted: "I've always lived in her shadow, following the rules like a doll, so I'm often described as a steady, well-behaved child who doesn't cause trouble... But conversely, that also means I'm a cold and unlikable person."
“I am well aware that people often say this behind my back and always compare me to my sister.”
Her expression calmed down, as if she had accepted the situation and had no intention of becoming depressed about it.
She simply turned her head to look at Tenkuji Yu, a helpless smile curving her lips, her voice as soft as snow falling to the ground and gradually melting.
"Tenkuji-kun, you and your sister are very similar. You always stick to your own style, whether it's good or bad, and there will always be people attracted to you..."
"But I still don't know how I should act, or how I should stand at the same level as you and look at the same scenery."
Without looking away as the scenery outside the window slowly rose, Yuu Tenkuji met those dark blue eyes.
Subconsciously, he tried to read Yukino Yukinoshita's feelings at that moment.
Was it disappointment, regret, discouragement, or simply the calm narration of the facts...? After looking for a while, he realized he couldn't see anything, just like no matter how clear the lake water is, he couldn't see the subtle changes in the churning mud and sand at the bottom.
Finally, Yuu Tenkuji could only honestly ask, "Now, do you feel the same way?"
"Now?" she murmured, repeating herself, her eyes slightly unfocused. "Now..."
Suddenly, Yukino Yukinoshita laughed, seemingly lost in thought, and turned her gaze to the world outside the box.
The tense body slowly relaxed, and the resentment that had been emanating from it had long since vanished, leaving only a sense of peace and ease, like being curled up in bed at home.
"See that cloud? It looks a bit like a panda."
Following her slender, fair finger, Tenkuji Yu looked at it, frowned, and examined it for a moment before nodding reluctantly: "Only the two ears are similar... but if we only consider the ears, it's not just a panda that's similar, is it?"
Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and looked at him: "What you think is none of my business. The most important thing is that I think it's a panda, and it is a panda."
"Then you're asking about fun things?" Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The girl ignored his complaints and looked at him directly and seriously, her gentle eyes shining like the glow of the setting sun.
“A few days ago, I declared war on her, who was always so aloof.”
"Not long ago, I learned how to face my own feelings."
"And now, you and I are looking at the same sky."
The Ferris wheel gradually rises, the voice gradually becomes lighter, and the world gradually quiets down.
The smile that appeared at the corners of his mouth was serene and gentle, yet it possessed an unwavering and dignified handsomeness.
As if captivated by such beauty, Yuuki Tenkuji was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at Yukino Yukinoshita as she reached out and gently pinched her sleeve.
At first, it was a light, kitten-like touch, but slowly, the black-haired girl grabbed his entire wrist through her sleeve, then closed the distance and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
You can't see her expression, you can only feel her soft, peaceful breathing, like she's taking a nap.
What am I like in your eyes?
The cabin was completely silent, and from the highest point in the sky, she asked in such a low voice without any fear.
This time, Yuu Tenkuji sat stiffly in her original position until she made a sound, then slowly relaxed and rested her head on the warm touch of the shoulder.
"...This is a rather embarrassing question."
Her laughter sounded very happy: "Really? Then my change was a success. It wasn't for nothing that I struggled with this for so long."
"It hasn't been that long, has it? At most a few weeks..."
"After all, the more important something is, the more you feel like you've spent most of your life on it... What, don't you feel the same way?"
"Yes, of course I am. You're super important to me, okay?"
"...That sounds insincere, but I'll let you off the hook for now." She muttered, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Her ear, peeking out from her black hair, was already bright red, but she tried her best to keep her tone calm.
"It's a bit cold in the cabin, let me lean against something and don't look over here for now."
"Really..."
Leaning against her soft and warm body, Tenkuji Yu felt no cold at all, nor did he feel that the person holding his hand was cold.
After calming his surprise, he couldn't help but sigh and chuckle, "Should I say you're being honest or just awkward? Sometimes you're even more proactive than me, but then you get shy on your own... You're just like a middle school girl having her first love."
"Because this is my first time dating. I'm sorry, but this certain Casanova is different."
Her voice instantly turned cold. Yukino Yukinoshita spoke politely, but every word she uttered was laced with obvious sarcasm.
Sensing the other person's displeasure, Tenkuji Yu coughed awkwardly twice and quickly changed the subject: "I'm not good enough for a Casanova... But speaking of which, since you like me so much, you must have met the standards of your ideal boyfriend, right?"
"Stop being narcissistic. At most, I have some good feelings towards you, but I wouldn't say I like you."
She gave a disdainful sneer, lightly poking his thigh twice with her finger. Her attitude was as high and mighty as a queen, yet she also had a touch of innocent and cute childishness: "So from now on, try even harder to please me! Tenkuji-kun."
"I have high standards for my lovers. If you take my affection for granted and become complacent, I will abandon you without hesitation the day the mission is barely over. Remember that!"
Despite sternly uttering harsh words, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't sense any unease or fear from those around her.
Even their answers were somewhat perfunctory.
"I understand, don't worry..."
Yuu rolled her eyes discreetly, then looked down with a speechless expression.
While uttering such heartless words, her delicate, boneless hand had somehow slipped from his wrist into his palm, and after some awkward and embarrassed exploration, it gripped his fingers tightly like a magnet that had found its poles.
Skin to skin touched intimately. Yuu Tenkuji didn't use any force, but simply let her fingers intertwine firmly, as if he didn't want any air to separate them in this warmth.
Abandon without hesitation?
Haha, you have the nerve to say such things? Then why don't you loosen your grip a little?
"Yukino, I take back my previous assessment."
"what?"
"Compared to a middle school girl experiencing her first love, you're more like a cat."
"What do you mean? Is this a compliment?"
"Hmm... just take it as a compliment."
"You said you dislike ambiguity, didn't you? Explain that assessment clearly now!"
"I just don't want to explain. Go ahead and bite me if you dare... Ooh, you actually bit me? I knew you were a cat."
"Humph……"
The Ferris wheel continued to turn slowly, passing over the high, cold clouds and the darkening horizon.
But whether it's from six o'clock to twelve o'clock, or from twelve o'clock to six o'clock, for them who only have eyes for each other, these are completely irrelevant things, right?
