There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

Although the reporter did not explain, it can be seen from the busy figures at the scene that the police have probably reacted.

This is definitely revenge. Next, they will definitely focus on investigating who the five teenagers who died in Kamogawa had bullied, and they will also focus on protecting the living.

but……

It's useless. If she wants to kill someone, no one can protect her. At least no one in this world can stop her.

The incident has caused panic among the entire nation, and even the cabinet has begun to take it seriously. The murder case in Chiba has even spread abroad.

The girl shook her head and left the grocery store.

Maybe a few more people will die. Once they are all dead, things will naturally end.

We left the shopping street and arrived at the residential area.

After finally returning home, Lingyin put away her umbrella, took out the key from her skirt pocket and inserted it into the keyhole.

But she suddenly turned her head as if she sensed something, and the crow appeared in front of her again. It was still standing on the low wall across the street, as if it had been following her, or waiting for her to return.

Lingyin asked in confusion, "Did you lose your home too?"

The deafening sound of the rainstorm covered up the soft question. She smiled at the crow and said, "Look at me. I can't help you. For me, this is just a place to sleep."

The soaking wet girl walked into the house and leaned her umbrella against the wall. She took off her small leather boots and stepped onto the steps of the living room, leaving a trail of small wet footprints on the spotless wooden floor.

She first went to the kitchen, put down the woven bag in her hand, then walked towards the bathroom and began to take off her clothes.

The dry short-sleeved shirt and silk underwear that I had just changed into not long ago; the soaked skirt, the underwear and socks that were already sticking to my skin...

After throwing all the clothes into the dirty clothes basket, Lingyin walked into the bathroom naked.

Although I couldn't take a bath due to the power outage, I could still use the hot water stored in the water heater to take a shower. After turning on the shower head and adjusting the temperature, the dark bathroom was immediately shrouded in mist.

Wrapped in bubbles, Lingyin carefully rubbed every part of her body, including the most private parts of the girl, until the hot water gradually turned cold, and then she walked out of the bathroom.

She didn't prepare any spare clothes, but it didn't matter. Lingyin walked into the living room and climbed the stairs to the bedroom.

Anyway, he was the only one at home. In fact, even if he was at home, as long as he didn't mind, Lingyin would be happy to take a bath with him. Taking a bath with family members is actually very normal in some families.

This is a deformed custom. In this country where bathing culture is prevalent, a small number of families have maintained this custom.

As far as Lingyin can remember, even when she was very young, she never had the experience of taking a bath with her father, at most she only took a bath with her mother.

Lingyin doesn't mind this custom, at least she doesn't mind it now.

After walking up the stairs to the second floor, the naked girl stood in front of her room, stunned. She stood there in a daze, until the heat in her body slowly dissipated and the bone-chilling cold swept through her body.

She raised her foot and took a few steps forward, pushing open the door that had not been opened for many days.

A breeze blew towards her, causing Lingyin to take a deep breath. It was a familiar smell, a feeling she hadn't had for a long time.

She walked to the bed as if possessed by a ghost, lifted the quilt, and crawled in with her body still covered with water.

Just at this moment, the dark window was suddenly illuminated, and the scene outside could almost be seen through the curtains. The hideous lightning streaked across the sky, and the reflection of a crow appeared on the windowsill.

"Boom!!!"

After the sky returned to darkness again, a full two seconds passed before the deafening thunder reached my eardrums.

The soul-stirring sound and the earth-trembling vibration made Lingyin's body tremble slightly.

At this moment, she pulled her entire head into the quilt, and after a while, she tremblingly revealed half of her face. Her lifeless eyes seemed as if she was talking to herself.

Not afraid, not afraid.

After so many years, you've gotten used to it, haven't you?

Every rainy day, every summer, every rainstorm, every thunder and lightning.

Lingyin's attention was diverted, and she smelled the familiar smell again. It was an indescribable but very pleasant smell.

So, she began to greedily sniff the smell in the quilt, and feel the soft sheets with her skin, as if his hot body temperature was still left on the quilt.

"Why... don't you come to see me? Why don't you even send me a message, Senior, Xiaohui, are you afraid of seeing me? Am I scarier than the monsters in the mission..."

Lingyin stared at the dark curtains and murmured dully, "You promised me... when we were camping, you promised me that you would go home with him... but you came back."

You came back, but he didn't go home.

We made an agreement, why didn't you go home? Didn't I tell you that if a dog's owner dies, the loyal dog will not look for another owner.

We agreed that we must go home. This is your home. Here the cutest sister is waiting for you to come home!

How could you bear to leave Lingyin alone at home!

Now, go home, go home at night.

Lingyin prepared food for two people. Don't invite senior sister or Xiaohui to dinner tonight. Just the two of us will eat quietly.

We can talk about a lot of things. I can tell you what happened in my school, and you can also tell me what you saw and heard during your mission. I'm not afraid, so just speak boldly.

I bought some candles, and if you don't mind, we can have a candlelight dinner during this power outage.

You and senior have never tried a candlelight dinner, right? You, a fool, would never think of such a romantic thing. So in order to make senior happy, Lingyin can accompany you to simulate it once.

You taught Suzune how to cook, and Suzune has become very skilled at it.

Whether it's braised pork or stir-fried pork, whether it's your favorite fish head with chopped pepper or the "slightly spicy" dish you like, Lingyin has already made it very skillfully. Even if the senior students tasted it, they might not be able to tell who made it.

That’s great, right? Come back soon and praise Lingyin.

Come back and touch my head. When I am naughty, you are allowed to pinch my face. No matter how hard, Lingyin promises not to cry!

Didn’t we agree last time that your sister wants to cook for you once in a while? I have prepared everything very well.

"Why don't you go home... This is your home, I am your only relative in this world... Even my senior is not as good as mine, because she is not married to you yet, she is just your lover."

The girl in the dark tightened her blanket, as if she was confiding something, or as if she was talking to herself...

"Suzune likes you the most...I like you the most, Onii-chan. How much I hated that scumbag before, and how much I like you now. How can you bear to abandon a girl who likes you so much?"

The heavy rain continued, and the faint thunder still lingered in the girl's ears. There was no other sound in the dim room to respond to the girl.

"Did you wear the amulet I made for you? It's meant to be carried close to your body, but I guess you didn't wear it. Onii-chan is a fool, so you must have put it in Doraemon's pocket because you were afraid of getting it dirty..."

"But, that thing will only work if you carry it with you. What an idiot you are, idiot Onii-chan! The thing you treasure is actually not valuable. I can make it for you when you go home."

"I can make one for you, two, countless! Why do you care so much..."

No, that's not the case.

The girl seemed to have thought of something, her expression froze, and a seed of fear sprouted deep in her eyes, filling her entire pupil.

It must be that my amulet was not made properly, and I must have offended the gods. I should not make it myself, but should go to the temple to ask for one with a pious heart.

It must be like this, this is a punishment from God.

That amulet is so funny, the smiley face is embroidered so carelessly, and the blessing is also so sloppy.

So he can't come back.

I was also partly responsible for his failure to come back, because every time he went on a "business trip", I never said goodbye to him, except that time.

Not saying goodbye means we will never be apart, but saying goodbye means we will never see each other again, is that right?

"But but but... didn't I tell you? I was so pitiful before, and it was not easy for me to be adopted. I have lived a very hard life alone these years. Lingyin doesn't want to be a wanderer anymore."

"I still want to act like a spoiled child, I still want to be naughty and cause trouble, I still want to make my master angry, but my master is gone, and so is the one I can act like a spoiled child to."

Lingyin turned slightly and buried her face in the pillow. Her voice became muffled, as if she was speaking into the chest of her favorite brother.

"Hey, Onii-chan. I've become cautious again, and my tail is tucked between my legs again, because without its owner, a home becomes a territory that can be invaded at will by others."

"I still can't get used to it. It's too lonely at home with only me. Lingyin likes to talk a lot. In the past, no one talked to Lingyin, so Lingyin could only talk to herself. Now Lingyin can only talk to herself again."

Lingyin rubbed her cheek against the pillow gently, just like rubbing Onii-chan's chest. She moved her face and whispered, "Lingyin doesn't blame you, she only blames herself for being too weak. I can't always rely on you. You are just an ordinary person. There will be times when you can't bear it."

"So, you couldn't hold on this time, right? But I guess you must have taken out the amulet and looked at it when you couldn't hold on any longer, right? Because I told you to, so you must have looked at it."

It must be like this, he must have carefully held the amulet in his palm at the last moment, but he just looked at it and put it back because he was afraid of getting it dirty.

At the last moment, he must have been thinking not only of his senior and Xiaohui, but also of Lingyin.

"When I think about it this way, I'm very happy... because you thought of me. I just hate myself, I hate that I can't help you. I envy Senior and Xiaohui... because they can help you."

Lingyin's lips curled up slightly, and a stiff smile appeared on her wooden face. "Although I don't know how cruel your world is, I am actually grateful to Him. I think it was Him who brought you to me."

"Suzuyin is so happy that you can come to her side... I'm sorry that I scolded you when we first met because I didn't want to believe that it was you who came, and I didn't know that you would be so kind to me. No one except my parents has been so kind to me. I was very scared at the time, afraid that the bastard was deceiving me."

Finally, her emotions began to rise and fall, and her voice became deeper...

"There is a secret that I have never told you. In fact, I am willing to be chosen by the Observer, because only by being chosen by Him can I help you in that world."

No matter if it's murder or crime, for Onii-chan, Suzune is willing to do anything. Suzune is a brother-con! Suzune became a brother-con after you came. Why don't you take responsibility?

Because without you, I would have been gone from this world long ago, and I even planned the date for my suicide.

"You cheered me up, and I cheered myself up. You asked me to start painting again, and I picked up the brush. You said to record the most beautiful things on the drawing board, and I listened to you. But the last thing I want is that I can only see your face through painting in the future!"

When you were away, I attended classes well and painted seriously. Now I seldom order takeout or buy bento, I just make them myself.

I went shopping for groceries today and got my clothes wet. I took a shower as soon as I got home because you, idiot, would not want to see me catch a cold. When you were not around, I lived a very, very serious life.

You let me stand in the light, so I walked out of the shadows, and I began to laugh. I began to breathe the sunshine again... The smell of sunshine is really comfortable.

But now that you are gone, I am back in the shadows. Because everything I have now was given to me by you. You are the gift from God to me.

However, because of me, the God took back the gift. It’s all Suzuyin’s fault... Suzuyin did something wrong, but what was wrong?

Am I asking too much? Can we not go traveling? Can we not go to Mount Tai, Guilin, or Huaxia for sketching? Can we just stay in Chiba and not go anywhere else? Can you come back?

Why is it so uncomfortable?

Actually, I've long been accustomed to being alone.

I’m used to going to school alone, eating alone, daydreaming alone, and talking to myself alone.

"Boom!!!"

Deafening thunder roared through the sky, and dazzling lightning illuminated the girl's face. At this moment, this dull face was already covered with clear tears.

She murmured with a choked voice: "I used to be used to everything... I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."

Her hand slowly emerged from under the quilt and stretched high toward the ceiling, like a kitten asking for a hug.

Really, really, I miss you so much, Onii-chan.

Let me hug you again.

Chapter 14: The Secret of the Game Space (Part 1)

On the top of Mount Fuji, a girl in a white dress stood on the edge of the cliff, quietly looking at the sea of ​​clouds below. She had been here for two days.

She was still dressed the same as she was last time climbing the mountain, a white dress, a dome-shaped sun hat, and no stockings on her long, smooth, straight legs. The edges of her pair of small women's sandals were stained with some mud and snow.

It is already mid-June, and the snow on Mount Fuji has melted away, with only a small amount of snow remaining on the top of the mountain.

The bleak cold wind playfully blew the hem of her skirt from time to time. The thinly dressed girl had a calm expression and her clear eyes seemed to reveal a look of reminiscence.

The top of the mountain is still the same top of the mountain, and the sea of ​​clouds is still the same sea of ​​clouds, but there is much less snow here, and the stars in the sky are no longer there.

Compared to the previous time, there is one less person here, and the protagonist 'Kaguya-sama' seems to be different from before.

The moonlight was no longer bright and pure, although still beautiful, the pure silver moonlight seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint scarlet.

Yukino opened her thin lips and hummed in a cold voice the tune that once made her unable to control herself but that she would never have the chance to hear again.

But this romantic, beautiful melody full of hope for the future suddenly came to an abrupt end. She slowly reached out her hand and gently touched her lips, as if she was recalling the dreamlike time that night.

That night, she abandoned her girlish shyness and reserve for the first time and threw herself into his warm embrace. They hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately.

From that day on, Yukino felt for the first time that love was such an intoxicating thing. Even she could not abandon her girlish heart and fantasized about her future in her mind.

She was just like an ordinary girl, wanting to be with her lover almost all the time. Even though she had an appointment for training the next day, she couldn't help but go to the school to find him.

That night I sat in his arms and talked to him for a long time. They spoke freely and said whatever they wanted to say without having to worry about anything, as if the world belonged to each other alone.

The two of them expressed their true feelings to each other, looking for constellations among the stars in the sky. They listened to each other's heartbeats and waited for the sunrise. That night, time seemed to pass very slowly, and it passed through their fingertips in the blink of an eye...

Yukino flipped her palm lightly, and her black smartphone appeared in her hand.

She opened the recording and selected an audio file. This was the only thing he left for her in this world.

After hesitating for a long time, Yukino finally pressed the play button.

After a rustling sound came from the phone, a slightly nervous voice came out from the speaker...
