You're not a serious magical girl, are you?

Chapter 143 Flame Chapter: There is always someone who wants to charge【Hey, Yan you...】

Since he came out of the hospital, the content of his dreams has changed.

It has always been the memory corridor of the girls before, but now it is occasionally mixed with some real dreams that can make him feel confused.

Although such dreams often appeared when he was depressed by the girls, but for him, those misty dreams made him feel more relaxed.

But tonight, when he thought he could dream of three kittens or three koalas again, he plunged into the memory corridor of the girls again.

Consciousness is awake, not like sleeping at all.

That's it, it's not a rare experience... If it's the daily life of the girls, then he should take it as a follow-up understanding, and if it's a memory related to him, then he should take it as reliving the past, yes For him, it's all acceptable now.

Time urges people to move forward, but the fragments of the past roll up from behind and wrap him in it. The colors in front of him are joining together, like the stage of memory is being built bit by bit. The emptiness, the soundless silence makes one feel lonely.

Until the colors surged, all kinds of bright colors filled his field of vision like erupting volcanoes in front of his eyes, bringing him to a scene that he felt very familiar with.

That is the past.

It is undeniable that when Ueno Kita saw that familiar figure, he felt a burst of sincere nostalgia.

His acquaintance, his deskmate—Xiao Meiyan.

To be precise, it is Xiao Meiyan before she made a wish. This naturally beautiful girl is tied with two long braids that hang down to her buttocks. She wears a thick red frame on her supposedly delicate face. Glasses, this rustic dress and a timid temperament abruptly turned an extremely stunning beautiful girl into a gray Cinderella.

Mouguang looked around.

At this moment, the girl is sitting in front of the desk in her indoor pajamas. The light-colored pajamas set off the girl's figure a little cutely. Gazing at this Cinderella who can only barely use "cute" to describe her temperament at this moment, Ueno Kita couldn't help but Once again, I feel that Xiao Meiyan is really a model of successful counterattack.

Is not it?

No one thought that the old-fashioned Cinderella would become the most sought-after beauty in the class. The image gap between the two was so large that it made people feel unbelievable.

Ueno Kita breathed a sigh of relief, and briefly judged the situation - he has experience in this area. This scene is neither a bathroom nor a toilet. Akami Homura is neither undressing nor looking in the mirror. Headache memory.

That's pretty good... isn't it?

Ueno Kita looked at the girl's memory. This scene made up of the girl's memory symbolized the past and would not be changed by anyone. He was just an observer.

So, where is the time of this memory...

Judging from the room, this must be Xiaomeiyan's life after transferring to school. He has been in Xiaomeiyan's room before, and with the daily life in Xiaomeiyan's memory, he is quite familiar with this room .

Ueno Kita hesitated for a moment, walked over, and saw the news that the girl was editing at a glance.

[Ueno-san, the day after tomorrow is Sunday, you...]

Before finishing editing this passage, the girl pressed the delete button to delete it.

[Why did you use honorifics...]

I saw this shy girl groaning like a small animal, her cheeks were flushed red from the shame in her heart, her skin was white and rosy, and she was charming.

She buried her head in the crook of her arms and covered her chest with one hand again.

Ueno Kita, who has seen Homura's life experience, knows that Homura's body has always been fragile.

Affected by congenital heart disease, Xiao Meiyan has a weak constitution. When she gets nervous, she often feels that her chest is heavy and she can't breathe. It was drained of strength, and the uncomfortable feeling is not something ordinary people can experience.

And Akatsuki Homura here...but now before she made a wish to become a magical girl, seeing her shy appearance, Ueno Kita was a little worried that she would be too shy and cause her illness to flare up, until he suddenly remembered that this actually happened In his memory, Xiao Meiyan didn't have an accident alone in his impression, so he was secretly relieved.

But it turns out... At this time, the girl's feelings have already come to this point...

Ueno Kita had already guessed what time it was, so when he looked at Akami Homura, his expression was extra complicated.

[Sending text messages... well, it feels too casual, try email...]

The girl muttered to herself, and soon set her sights on writing emails.

[Recipient: Ueno Kita

Sender: Xiao Meiyan

Title: You Are Invited to the Jellyfish Pavilion

Text: In Binhai Park where we went together last time, the jellyfish aquarium, which was not yet open at that time, has opened. There seems to be a new business discount this week. Do you want to go to the jellyfish aquarium together on Sunday? 】

Write, finish writing.

But but but... His hands were shaking.

Even Ueno Kita, who was standing aside, could see the girl's nervousness at the moment.

It was obviously just a simple email, but she didn't dare to click send after writing it. She just put her phone on the table, folded her hands on the desk, and buried her head.

After a long while, the girl quietly raised her head, and reached out to erect the phone again. Through the lens, the purple eyes stared blankly at the phone that was close at hand.

But she didn't take any action, just lying on the desk like that, waiting for the passage of time.

Why not send it?

Because...the fear of rejection.

If she encounters rejection, her heart must be very painful, right?

Then wait...

What are you waiting for?

Wait for the hopeless timidity and shrinking in my heart to dissipate?

But can you really wait...

Xiao Meiyan didn't know, she just stared straight at the phone screen, as if there was an invisible mysterious vortex on the phone screen, attracting her attention all the time.

Until, she suddenly discovered that the person she paid special attention to sent her a message.

——It is Ueno Kita.

But when she opened the line message full of expectations, she found that Ueno Kita hadn't mentioned the jellyfish house. He had taken several pages of notes.

【These are the notes you need Homura, right?Let's just look at it like this for the time being, and when we meet again next week, I will lend you my notebook directly, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask me. 】

……A bit disappointed.

【Thank you so much!Ueno-san has already helped me so much, not only helping me meet friends, but also helping me with homework, I really...]

A certain corner of my heart secretly expects that if Ueno-san can take the initiative to invite her...invite her to go to the jellyfish pavilion that everyone saw last time that is still being renovated, that would be great.

But it's normal to not mention it.

Ueno-san doesn't necessarily know about this matter... Even she only heard it from the female classmates in the class today. Ueno-san is very well informed, but girls usually pay more attention to this kind of thing, right?

Besides, even if you know... What Ueno-san thought of, is it more likely that everyone will go there together?

Thinking about it this way, a touch of melancholy appeared in my heart... Eh?

Xiao Meiyan looked at the mail interface switched from the background due to inexperienced operation, and looked at the text box showing sending because of a mistaken press of her finger... The girl blinked and paused for three or four seconds, then The brain that was down was slowed down.

[Hey! ? ]

...Wow!

When watching the email sent out, Xiao Meiyan's heart also rose to her throat, and the indescribable tension came to her heart.

Can it be withdrawn?

I don't know, this is also the first time she has sent an email...Wait, where is the interface?Ueno-san has been there all the time, shouldn't he see it right away?It's too late, I'm so nervous, my brain is a mess, what should I do now?I can't find my way...

All these chaotic thoughts came to an abrupt end the moment the girl received his reply.

Ueno also responded to the email. The previous formatting details can be ignored. The most important thing is the title and the content in the text.

[Sorry, I made an appointment to hang out with my friends on Sunday afternoon, so I can't promise you.

If there is a chance next time, please give me a chance to hang out with Homura, but please forgive me this time. 】

When she saw the reply, the girl suddenly became quiet, and the nervous and flustered expression gradually disappeared.

Her small mouth was slightly pursed, and there was a clear sadness and indelible loss on her face.

She was rejected.

Inviting a friend for the first time, even an unprecedented friend of the opposite sex... Ueno Kita means a lot to her. Not only did she take her to report to the teacher when she first entered the campus, but also when she first integrated into the group, He is also doing his best.

Miki-san, Sakura-san, Nakazawa-san... He introduced everyone he knew to her. Although he kept saying that it was his duty as a monitor, how could she simply regard it as a duty?

So, very lost...

There was a tingling pain somewhere deep in my heart.

But that's her problem too, right?

Ueno has a lot of classmates and friends. Not only is he very popular among girls, but he is also very popular with boys. On weekdays, he can always be seen playing shoulder to shoulder with those boys in their spare time. I often see them playing together.

If you don't make an agreement with Ueno in advance, you will only bring up the matter of Sunday on Friday...It is very likely that someone else has already made an agreement with him to travel together, and he can only refuse when faced with this situation she?

Lying on the table, those beautiful eyes gradually dimmed.

The girl was fiddling with the glass jar on the desk. The jar contained colorful candies, and there was still more than half of this jar of candy left.

It was given to her by classmate Ueno. She ate it slowly on weekdays, but now there is still a lot left.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a color he liked, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth.

When the sweetness spreads on the taste buds, the inner sadness seems to be relieved.

But that alone is not enough.

This is the first time to invite such an important person, not for gathering together in the past, nor for the purpose of learning or fellowship, but just... wanting to be alone with him, to go to a place where there are no other people, and to enjoy that moment with him quiet time.

It was very sad to be rejected.

I didn't want to cry, but the tip of my nose and the corners of my eyes couldn't help but feel sore.

It's obviously a normal thing, isn't it, why are you crying so much...

[Woo...]

She has been causing trouble for others, and will not resolve it when she encounters sadness, but will only cry sadly. Even she herself hates such a timid and incompetent her.

And the emotion surging in my heart now is not "envy".

It would be fine if it was just envy, but it is clearly an emotion called "jealousy" when it is exposed to the sun and emits a strong stench.

Jealous of friends who can go out with him, so secretly jealous...

She doesn't want this emotion,

So disgusting, so uncomfortable...

Ueno doesn't belong to her, he has his own life, and it's normal for her and Ueno's lives to be staggered, so what's the big deal?

Those friends who go out with Ueno-san must also be in the class, right?

Obviously everyone treats her so well, but she feels jealous because of a little thing...

She was like this, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she might as well die.

[......]

But she also knows it.

Ueno is not only her most cherished friend, but...he is also a friend of many more people.

She knew it before, she has been trying her best to circle around Ueno, following behind him like a longing idol, on this balance called "friendship", the weights cast by the two sides are completely different , She took Ueno classmate too seriously, so heavy that she would get hurt if she was rejected, and so heavy that under the strong sense of peace of mind, there were countless worries about gain and loss.

It was wrong, and when she realized it, she should have woken up—she should have turned around.

As Ueno-san expected, to meet more friends, see a wider world, show more smiles, and become an excellent person who can be praised by him with a thumbs up.

But when she thought like this... Isn't it just showing that she can't turn back?

If you can really turn around, why do you feel sorry for yourself here?

[north……]

She also wanted to call his name so tenderly and affectionately...

Ueno Kita watched, but before he knew it, he walked to Xiao Meiyan's side, patted the girl's shoulder, but his palm passed through it.

He lowered his head and stared at his palm, knowing that it was just the illusory bubble of the past after all.

He knew how the story would end.

There was a little unbearable feeling in his heart, but he was silent about this emotion... He watched quietly until that day on Sunday morning, when he and Xiao Meiyan met again.
