You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

Toyokawa Shoko nodded. She was quite interested in this kind of wonderful place. "But aren't we going to a place to admire the moon? What are we doing here?"

"The top of this shrine is the best place to see the moon."

Toyokawa Sho said.

"Eh? On top?"

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the frighteningly long staircase. Even if she wasn't injured, it would take her a long time to climb it, let alone she was injured. "How am I going to get up there?"

"Why do you always ask stupid questions?"

Toyokawa Sho shook his head with a look of disappointment, then took a few steps forward and came to a very close position with Toyokawa Shoko.

Shoko Toyokawa tilted her head, wondering why Sho Toyokawa suddenly wanted to get so close to her, and then she saw him stretch out his hand, one hand on her shoulder and the other hand reaching behind her knees.

One on one.

Hold the place well.

Then, use your waist to exert force.

He held her in his arms—

"Can't I just carry you up there?"

It's a matter of course.

A sudden feeling of weightlessness swept over my body.

And the broad chest right next to my cheek.

Toyokawa Shoko's thoughts seemed to be offline for about five seconds. When she realized that she was being held in the arms of a princess, her cheeks quickly became hot and her earlobes were flushed with shame at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her pink little mouth opened and closed again, and it seemed as if there were ten thousand voices shaking the earth in her heart, but the sounds coming out of her throat were pitifully weak. Her mind was blank, she couldn't remember anything, and couldn't think of any countermeasures at this time.

The disguise was temporarily thrown to a few seconds ago. The face and etiquette engraved in the bones could not keep up with the speed of the heartbeat. Toyokawa Shoko didn't even have the chance to catch her breath, and let her true self say the subconscious words.

"Why are you hugging me all of a sudden?!"

The more you suppress your temper in normal times.

When you encounter a completely unexpected situation, the greater the subconscious instinctive reaction will be.

Toyokawa Shoko had never spoken so loudly in her life, and her body was struggling to break free from the embrace.

But when she found that the more she moved around, the more likely this guy's fingers would touch some sensitive areas, her ears suddenly turned even redder, like a boiling kettle, exploding a lot of heat in her mind.

"You're so loud! I'm almost deafened by you..."

Toyokawa Sho smacked his lips, closed his eyes tightly for a moment before relaxing his expression, and then said speechlessly.

"And wasn't it you who hugged me first?"

"When did I hug you?!"

Shoko Toyokawa closed her eyes tightly, clenched her little hands into fists and shouted in her arms.

Then, the memory of how she was ambushed by Jueying just now, and how she was so scared that she hugged Fengchuan Xiang tightly, and then used her amazing wisdom to try to make Fengchuan Xiang ignore this incident, jumped into her mind.

At this moment, a sense of powerlessness suddenly filled her body.

Could it be that because I had just deliberately skipped the topic, he had misjudged me and thought I didn't mind two people hugging each other, and that's why he's just picked me up without any explanation!?

What kind of boomerang is this!? !

"If you didn't have an injury on your foot and you weren't a girl, do you think I would be willing to hug you?"

Toyokawa Sho is too lazy to criticize Toyokawa Shoko.

Didn't you just hug me first? You even scared me. I didn't even say anything, so why did you get so angry?

"Besides, carrying someone up the stairs is very tiring. These stairs are almost as high as the 30th floor. I have to carry you all the way up to the 30th floor. I don't ask you to be more considerate of me, but at least don't make trouble."

"Can't we look at the moon somewhere else?"

Shoko Toyokawa was so anxious that she almost cried.

The act of princess-carrying her is equivalent to crushing her self-esteem, which she cares about most, to the ground, and then kicking it into the trash can next to her. Only because Toyokawa Sho is a peer she recognizes does she not feel disgusted.

But not being disgusted doesn't mean being able to accept it. Even if you want to hug her, at least you have to let her be mentally prepared!

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You are here and you told me to change places."

Toyokawa Sho shook his head and sighed, "Ah, what a willful young lady..."

"I'm not willful!!"

Toyokawa Shoko denied it.

"Come on, I don't know what your character is."

Toyokawa Sho rolled his eyes at Toyokawa Shoko, then said in a teasing tone, "Ten years ago, I was the most willful and sensitive. I understand everything, I understand everything. It's not because you're disgusted, but because you feel embarrassed and unprepared that you're making a fuss, right?"

As he spoke, Toyokawa Sho shook his head and sighed.

"If I really was disgusted, I should have a slap mark on my face right now."

Toyokawa Shoko was really anxious now.

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

The feeling of being dragged out into the sunlight like a rat from a stinking ditch, and having all your inner thoughts dug out and spoken out, is even more humiliating than having your middle school notebook read out in public...!

She wanted to bite and scratch.

But the tutor who had returned to her body set up a threshold again, blocking all the rude thoughts in her mind.

She could only stare at Toyokawa Sho's profile with her big eyes full of grievance and anger, pitifully and cutely.

In the end, she lowered her head and swallowed her breath, enduring the burning sensation on her cheeks. She bit her lips hard with her clean white teeth and spoke in a tone that was extremely threatening but sounded like a spoiled child to others.

"If the moon up there isn't pretty, I'll never let you go...!"

look.

This person is so cute even when he says harsh words.

Toyokawa Sho shook his head, feeling very disappointed.

When will this dark history reach the point where he can throw away the so-called family education in his bones and curse people as he pleases?

Oh, so kawaii.

Xiangzi sauce.

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Sho walked towards the stairs and began the long journey of climbing them.

In fact, with omniscience and omnipotence, and a life corridor that even surpasses humans when fully deployed, climbing the 30th floor is not a difficult task for Toyokawa Sho.

Even though he was carrying a guitar on his back and holding a burden weighing about 85 or 86 pounds in his arms, he could still be invincible in the world, with an outstanding demeanor, like an immortal king from a foreign land.

If he were alone, he would have been able to climb up in less than fifteen minutes, but because he was holding Toyokawa Shoko in his arms, he slowed down his pace and climbed the stairs steadily step by step.

At first, Toyokawa Shoko was able to remain sober, and said stubbornly with a red face, "I'm not embarrassed", "How can you be embarrassed about something that makes you nervous?", followed by some difficult to understand words, such as "I'm not shy", "If I hadn't had an injury on my foot, I would have walked down by myself", etc., which made Toyokawa Shoko laugh, and the stairs were filled with a happy atmosphere.

Later, perhaps because today's work was too tiring, and Toyokawa Sho walked very steadily, being held in his arms really felt like being on a bus and inadvertently dozing off.

Shoko Toyokawa slowly closed her eyes, her little head resting on Toyokawa Sho's chest, her breathing steady and regular, her mouth gently closed, her long and thick eyelashes covering her eyelids, outlining a soft and delicate beauty on her cute cheeks.

When Toyokawa Sho saw that Toyokawa Shoko had fallen asleep, he slowed down his pace and adjusted her posture slightly so that her center of gravity was on him. She seemed to be buried in his arms and fell asleep comfortably.

About twenty minutes later.

Even though he was feeling a little overwhelmed while driving the Corridor of Life, Toyokawa Sho finally reached the finish line. His invincible demeanor, which should have been calm and composed, revealed some impatience and fatigue.

He took a deep breath, but finally let it out gently.

He glanced at the girl in his arms, thinking to let her rest for a while, and slowly walked through the torii gate and came to the shrine that he had visited alone more than a hundred times.

Toyokawa Sho didn't know what god was enshrined here, but he felt that this place was quite similar to the famous Ryudo Temple on the moon, so he always called it Ryudo Temple in his heart.

Whenever he was unhappy, he would ride his bicycle to Liudong Temple alone, then climb up to the eaves, sit there and look up at the moon for half a day.

Later, Mujica was formed and the economic situation improved a little, so I rarely came here again.

Many years later, when he became successful and wanted to bring Mu back here to see the moon together, he found that this place had been bought by someone and the shrine and temple fair activities had been resumed.

So he brought Mu here to pray for something in Ema. The wish he wrote was very common and not very meaningful. It was just the old-fashioned hope for a peaceful and quiet new year.

As for what Mu wrote, he didn't see it and didn't want him to see it.

So he tactfully didn't ask any more questions, and together they tied the wish tightly to the red string, bought a Tengu mask and apple candy, and went home holding hands with the little girl.

Toyokawa Sho came out of his memories. His arms were completely numb at this time, so he shook Toyokawa Shoko in his arms.

"Dark History, it's time to wake up."

"Well……"

Shoko Toyokawa rubbed her hazy eyes, and her slightly open amber pupils flickered with pitiful cuteness. Her face, which usually had to be tense because of the complicated things, was now extremely soft, like a little squirrel biting a pine cone, or a kitten licking its fur. She yawned slightly and put her hand in front of her mouth.

When her vision cleared and her memory returned, she realized that she had actually fallen asleep in the middle of the night, and that she had slept soundly and peacefully, even more comfortably than when she slept in her room...! ?

thump.

thump.

The extreme feeling of shame rushed to her cheeks again, and her little face, which had finally returned to normal, was covered with a noticeable blush again. She quickly looked at the chest next to her, trying not to do something like sleeping too soundly and leaving saliva marks on other people's clothes...!

Confirm carefully.

Check again and again.

After repeatedly assuring her that she had not done such a thing, she breathed a sigh of relief, then coughed and signaled to Toyokawa Sho with her eyes to let him down quickly.

Toyokawa Sho was too lazy to say anything to her and put the young lady down as calmly as possible. Toyokawa Shoko grabbed Toyokawa Sho's arm and after making sure her center of gravity was stable, she quickly withdrew her hand, her expression and movements very awkward.

Toyokawa Sho clicked his tongue.

What a woman.

"...Um, where is the place for moon viewing?"

Shoko Toyokawa also realized that the atmosphere was too awkward, so she brought up a topic to attract attention.

"above."

Toyokawa Sho pointed to the roof of the shrine.

"above?"

Toyokawa Shoko was puzzled and looked in the direction of Toyokawa Sho's finger. "Does this shrine have a second floor?"

Toyokawa Sho didn't say anything, just stared at her silently.

Toyokawa Shoko blinked, her tone hesitant and incredulous.

"You don't mean... on the roof...?"

"Sodayo."

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at her feet, then at the roof, which was at least five or six meters high. "...Have you ever thought about how I'm going to get up there?"

"Isn't there a ladder over there?"

Toyokawa Sho pointed to a ladder next to the shrine, which was shrouded in shadows and difficult to see at a glance. "Just climb up."

"Isn't this an abandoned shrine? Why is there a ladder?"

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't understand.

"There are more lonely souls in this world than just you and me. There will always be others who have gone before you to find a place suitable for wandering and expressing their true selves."

Toyokawa Sho didn't find it strange. "It's quiet here, there's open space, and more importantly, the view is great. It's normal for other people to come here."

“…Yes, I think you are right.”

Toyokawa Shoko's hidden middle school spirit was aroused by Toyokawa Sho's words, which sounded quite touching at first, and she nodded seriously.

"If you think it's right, go ahead,"

Toyokawa Sho pointed, "I'm holding the ladder for you down there, no need to thank me."

"Then you must never look up."

Shoko Toyokawa covered the hem of her skirt, her tone a little hesitant, because she was not wearing any safety pants underneath.
