Heavy girl? I feel worse than Black Hole Trigger!

At first, she had to wait at the door for a while, and then, without even knocking, someone would open the door to greet her.

In the end, the man would even wait at the school gate and wave to her with a smile.

It feels like a dream.

It seems so beautiful that it’s fake.

“Thank you for your hard work.” “Thank you for your hard work…”

After finishing the last practice before the music festival, Su Shi packed up her instruments and music stand, exchanged greetings with her club members with a smile, and quickly walked out of the club room.

She saw many people relieved, but the official performance was tomorrow.

It’s like feeling that you have done your best and all that’s left is to leave it to fate.

Nagasaki Suyo has no right to judge any of them, because she did not even try to make the so-called "due" effort. She was always just playing the role of "someone who seems to be trying hard."

The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor. The glass window reflected the girl's image.

But this place didn't belong to her, and she had never wanted to pursue any medals here.

--even so.

Someone also told her that she had put all her efforts into her life.

One, unique someone.

Her "hero".

…Just this alone made her feel redeemed.

Ahhh.

It’s okay to be a little willful. It’s okay to be a little selfish.

A little bit childish, a little bit silly, and then...

The footsteps became denser and lighter.

The girl's profile on the glass window was laughing silently.

Like an anxious princess.

She escaped from the tower that held her captive and rushed towards her knight.

……

……

To be honest, Baodeng Zheli is not the type of person who can spend the whole day in places like museums and zoos.

If I really said that I had a strong interest in aquariums, I would be lying.

But, for some reason, every time he looked into the eyes of the fish, shrimp, seals, and penguins in the tank, he could feel his mood calm down. This was something he had never experienced before.

Maybe it was the changes brought about by his Blood Star physique.

Maybe it was because he had been with Lenai for too long that he really started to like small animals.

Or maybe, he was just too tired, so he subconsciously wanted to escape from the crowd and get along with the silent animals...

He was very curious, so after taking a tour, he simply bought an annual ticket, thinking that he would come again when he had time in the future to see what was going on.

Afterwards, Baodeng Zheli set out on his journey home.

After leaving Sun City, he looked at the time and was about to go to Higashi-Ikebukuro Station to catch a bus back to Nascita.

But on the road, I saw a middle-aged woman with bags around her, squatting on the side of the road, looking at her mobile phone with a frown.

As the most gentle creature on earth, Zhe Li took the initiative to step forward and showed concern. He learned that the woman had just returned home from the supermarket with groceries, but the heaviest bag containing the most ingredients had a hole. She couldn't carry so many vegetables back by herself, and her family members were at work or in class. She couldn't find anyone to help her by looking through the address book.

So Zhe Li asked the other party about her address and found out it was not far away, so he helped her carry the materials home.

The result was the same as the last time when I sent the child home on a rainy day. The woman warmly invited me to have a cup of tea and even wanted to invite me to stay for a snack.

Because he felt that if he really stayed, he might stay until dinner time, Zhe Li quickly declined and said goodbye as if he was escaping.

It can only be said that habit becomes second nature. Every time after helping others, Baodeng Zheli can already simulate the sound effect of task completion in his mind, and immediately run away when the prompt appears.

He didn't know whether he looked too harmless, or whether the people in this Bang Bang world were all so warm and kind that they would invite any stranger to dinner within a short time of meeting him.

Fortunately, Nagasaki Suyo was not around this time.

It was fine when we first met, after all, I never imagined that we would establish a connection later, but now, if he had to show this embarrassed look in front of Su Shi...

Haha, you might as well kill me.

Thinking of Nagasaki Suyo, I realized that this back and forth seemed to have dragged on for a long time, and Suyo was probably about to finish the group training.

Baodengzheli took out his cell phone to confirm the time, then he discovered, or rather remembered that his cell phone was broken!

It was just a matter of looking at the time, and asking anyone would be fine, but the key was that Zhe Li couldn't send a message to Su Shi right now, telling her that he might be late and asking her not to wait at the door, but to meet him directly at the cafe...

What to do now?

“…Just run over there.”

The Blood Star's physique allowed him to move continuously at high speeds, making it impossible for the low-frame-rate monitor to capture his presence. As long as he was careful not to be seen, he could return to the entrance of Moon Forest in a few minutes.

As for taking the tram back like an ordinary person and then apologizing to Su Shi?

Yes, but not necessary.

Although for a considerate girl like Nagasaki Suyo, as long as he honestly explained his experience this afternoon and apologized sincerely, he would definitely get her forgiveness.

Or even now, Su Shi hasn't finished the group training yet, or he has returned to Nascita early to wait for him.

But Baodeng Zheli didn't want her to experience even just a few dozen minutes of anxiety and disappointment.

Even if all this was just his conjecture.

If you want to ask why——

If you are capable of doing something, why not do it?

……

……

“—Not here?”

The girl stood quietly at the school gate of Tsuki no Mori.

The figure that she thought should be there was nowhere to be found.

I never got a “read” message on the LINE chat screen.

Her hands gripping the shoulder straps of her schoolbag tightened unconsciously as she looked out at the world in a daze.

The people passing by were like waves, pushing everything towards somewhere where she was not.

So far away... so far away...

Lost Star Chapter 23 Summer Time Record: Chapter Contradiction Spiral

The fallen flowers drift in the wind.

Either up, or down, or left or right; breaking away from the branches and leaves, towards the river, towards the soil, towards the edge of the bridge.

People passing by occasionally stretched out their hands to catch the petals, but they would only admire them for a moment before throwing them back into the river, because the fallen petals had just climbed up on their own.

Once people get tired of it, they will be abandoned...

Gao Songdeng stared at the scenery in a trance.

After a long while, she stretched out her hands and soon the fallen flowers floated into her palms, one after another.

Until... snap. There was a light bump on the shoulder.

It didn't hurt. But with just such a tiny impact, the palms, which were only casually closed, separated slightly, and the fallen flowers fell to the ground through the gap between the palms.

"Oh, I'm sorry." A strange apology came to my ears.

Gao Songdeng subconsciously reached out to pick up the falling flowers, but instead he dropped the flowers lying in his palm.

"..."

She lowered her head and looked at the fallen petals scattered at her feet.

The person who had casually apologized had already walked away, but Gao Songdeng didn't care at all. She squatted down, carefully scooped up the fallen flowers, and held as many as she could. Then she walked to the edge of the bridge, climbed over the railing, and threw them into the river below.

The speed at which cherry blossoms fall is 5 centimeters per second.

The girl gazed at the flowers falling, lightly touching the river surface, and then floating downstream.

Even if I'm abandoned, it doesn't matter. ...It's just that I'm taking a different path.

A unique path that belongs to them.

The flowers still fall, dancing with the breeze; the faint fragrance of the petals penetrates into the nostrils.

A flying flower circled in front of her eyes and then floated away into the distance.

She reached out to stop it.

“————No!”

boom.

A shock came, pulling her consciousness back from the falling petals.

then,

"----Hello."

Another force pulled at the back of the uniform.

Before the pain could reach her body from the ground, she felt herself grounded again.

"…Are you okay?"

What reached my ears was a calm male voice.

Gao Songdeng slowly raised his head and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes.

……

'It's like a dream repeating itself'

……

The man's expression looked very serious at first glance, and he was about to say something.

“——Is it okay?!”

But at this moment, another face with a slightly frown came up to him.

A girl stepped forward and held Takamatsu Deng's hand.

It was a very delicate face.

Her fair skin was as translucent as if it contained sunlight, and her amber eyes were as gorgeous as gems that should be kept in a display cabinet. Her long sky-blue hair was tied into two ponytails, and even the strands of hair were so shiny that they seemed to be carved out one by one, making her look like a life-size porcelain doll.

But that delicate face was now deeply frowned, staring at Gao Songdeng carefully and cautiously.

"I'm so sorry for bumping into you! But you can't die!"

“…Huh?” “Ah?”

At that moment, both Takamatsu Deng and the blond man were silent.

This silence did not shake the anxiety on the girl's face at all, and she held Gao Songdeng's hand tightly.

"You were planning to commit suicide just now, weren't you?"

Gao Songdeng hesitated, "No, no. It's flowers..."

"Which is more important, flowers or life? ...No, flowers have life too..."

The strange girl, who was originally nervous, suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Because it's a withered flower, I think... it must be dead." Gao Songdeng said in a low voice.

"die?"

The girl was stunned for a moment and tilted her head to look over the railing.
