"Yeah. No, I'm really afraid of being lonely. Go quickly and come back soon. I'll be waiting for Sister Eula here. Don't forget to take me home!"

Youya waved at her with a smile, and Eula stood up heavily, and walked towards the beach, looking back every few steps. The girl barely held on to look at her sister Eula, who had no intention of looking for her and just glanced at her from time to time.

Although I feel very sleepy, I can still hold on...

She didn't want to fall here. This was the end of her dream, but Youya still had to take further steps.

In those eyes as pure as sea pearls lies an immortal will.

not to mention--

She looked at the Eye of God, which was flickering with light and dark colors at some unknown time.

When she touched the flowers with her fingertips, she could feel the breeze, which was conveying her feelings of reluctance and sadness.

"It's okay, it's okay... I'm ready. I'll ask you to take good care of her from now on!"

The girl's soliloquy was as light as the wind, but it made the bard sitting on the apple tree feel not in the mood to sing poetry for the first time.

He knew very well why he felt this emotion lingering in his heart, but he had never imagined that he would be so reluctant to let go that even the apple wine had lost its flavor.

As dusk fell, Eula finally finished selecting the conchs and returned to her original place.

The girl kept her promise to her and smiled at her. She didn't fall asleep or leave. She was so well-behaved, which was unlike her.

Even though her heart ached, Eula didn't want to show her sadness in front of her.

So, they took the flowers brought by the sea tide and returned home.

On the way back, Youla once asked Youya what her dream was...

But the girl only told her that her dream was in these conch shells.

She just asked Eula to help her put it away, and other than that she looked like she was keeping it a secret.

However, probably because the girl had never betrayed her trust, Eula chose not to ask any further questions, and everyone enjoyed dinner in a happy atmosphere.

Until she finished her bath and fell asleep, Youla did not notice anything wrong with Youya, and the girl also dreamed about the sequel of the glass bird story.

Just as she thought, no...

It should be said that it was just as she hoped.

In the early morning of the Wind Flower Festival, she woke up from her bed and wiped away her tears.

Looking at my sister who was still sleeping like a baby, what surged in my heart was not the pain of separation.

On the contrary -

She was very happy and looking forward to what would happen today.

After putting on the sunflower-style skirt placed on the bedside table, Youya did it for the first time, or should I say... the second time.

He stood up with his own strength, although he staggered and looked like he would fall at any moment.

But she still came to her wheelchair.

Use the strength of your upper body to support yourself and then sit down.

The morning light was already visible outside the window, and the streets seemed to be gradually becoming bustling and festive.

She pinned the wave hair accessory on her forehead, carefully tidied her appearance, and then - looked at the wind flower on the table, which she had prepared for everyone.

The girl bathed in the light of the world, hoping that they could each find their own way.

Finally, if possible... I hope you can always remember me.

She sat reluctantly on the wheelchair, tilted her head slightly and looked at Eula who was still sleeping, her eyes gentle.

Then she sat up straight again, looking at the faint light from the window falling on the cover of "The Melancholy of Young Vera". She reached out and took the book, placed it on her knees, and then opened it -

Before Amber comes, just pretend to be reading a book.

This posture best suits her literary girl temperament.

...and you won’t be caught dozing off secretly.

Chapter 134: The Child Who Cannot Grow Up

——Youya.

who is it?

——Wake up.

Are you calling me?

——Youya, if you don’t get up now, you will be too late to participate in the celebration!

The girl finally woke up from her doze. She looked at the girl standing next to her. She had brown hair, some baby fat on her cheeks, and wore big windproof glasses on her head.

The bright red headscarf stands up like rabbit ears, adding a touch of cuteness and vitality.

"...Ah, did I fall asleep accidentally?"

The girl said with a bit of confusion.

"Yeah. How come Yuya came here to read by herself? Eula is really something. She moved you here and didn't care about you at all."

Amber puffed up her face angrily, but was quickly pinched on the back of her neck from behind.

"Humph, you actually dared to say bad things about me behind my back. I will remember this grudge!"

Sister Youla watched her struggle for a few times, and then after her body relaxed, she let go and looked at the girl with a gentle gaze.

"Really? I said yesterday that I wouldn't be so excited as a child and couldn't sleep, but I woke up early anyway. Are you feeling sleepy now?"

"Ha - it seems so. I never thought that one day I would be like Amber."

"Eh? Have I become the epitome of childishness?"

"I think this is something we have in common. After all—"

Youya smiled slyly like a cat.

"My favorite part is 'Don't hang out with someone you don't love.' In that regard, Amber is my favorite."

"Um--!" Amber blushed and stammered, unable to speak.

Sister Eula just glanced at her helplessly. Such misunderstandings really made people worry about what Youya would do when she reached the marriageable age.

But maybe she will say something carelessly that she is a wallflower.

He is so popular, but he is totally unaware of it.

"Anyway, let's get ready to go after breakfast!"

Breakfast was Mond pancakes. Although not as soft as crepes, this juicy and chewy thing has always been popular among children.

As soon as they finished their meal, Diluk and Kaeya came to visit. They took the girls to the streets to visit those new and interesting shops.

During the Wind Flower Festival, stores will offer many small games, including simpler dart target shooting that even children can play, and adult activities that require the use of wind wings.

Although the latter is a bit of a pity, at least Youya can still participate in the former.

Although her aim was quite poor, or rather, because she was sitting in a wheelchair, her posture looked a bit awkward no matter how you looked at it.

Therefore, after discovering that most of the recreational activities were too "dangerous" for her, Youya changed her mind and set her sights on those food games.

There was an activity called "Eggnog Speed ​​Drinking Party" that really interested her, but unfortunately, her age did not meet the minimum participation standard.

However, Diluk and Kaeya just barely met the passing line.

So, next I had the opportunity to watch a fierce fight between the brothers of the Leggenfind family.

Kaia, who usually showed that he didn't like dairy products, unexpectedly became a "dark horse" and easily made it to the finals.

He even had the spare time to tease his brother, saying things like "You're such an impatient person" and "Haha, this is really funny", making Diluk want to throw a cup at his annoying smile.

At the end of the drinking, the two ended up in a tie. Kaia had milk wine in his mouth and he kept mumbling something like "not...enough fun" while pulling his brother's arm and chattering.

They said he was a hypocrite and he was still embarrassed...

Diluk, who was annoyed by him, had no choice but to take out the Wind Flower, a very beautiful windmill daisy whose color was like the orange sun.

I don’t know why he chose this, but at least Youya likes it quite a bit and pinned it on her chest.

By the way, this guy Kaia actually gave her a Mufeng mushroom.

Should we say that it fits this guy's fun-loving personality, or that Youya's gluttony leaves too deep an impression on people?

After putting these away, the next step is to participate in Barbara's idol performance, which is under the statue of the god of wind in the church square.

The place was already crowded with people, and Youya, sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't see Barbara who was surrounded by the crowd.

Fortunately, Qin had already reserved a seat for them in advance. After sitting down calmly, Youya could still see Barbara looking at her frequently, as if asking her why she was so late.

He blew her a kiss, only to receive a shy glare from the girl.

Then, he trotted over and brought her onto the field.

"Huh? What's this for? Is Barbara going to judge me in public for being too fickle?"

"That's not it! Besides, if you know you're unfaithful, you should correct it!"

Barbara pouted, then asked in confusion.

"Besides, didn't we agree to perform on stage together?"

"Hey... it doesn't make sense for an accompanist to go on the winner's stage."

However, despite this, the girls were eventually pulled onto the stage together, with their friends cheering for them below.

In desperation, Youya had to put the bone flute to her lips, and while looking at Barbara, the music played along.

Just like the summer when they met, the hearts of the two girls who were in love with each other.

The gentle breeze carries the singing far away, and the sky is so high that one feels as if one can touch the white clouds with one's hands.

Then, the song ended.

Applause, laughter, expectations...

She and Barbara looked at each other, confirming each other's existence and feeling the first budding of emotions.

How nice it would be if I could always accompany you like this.

Afterwards, the Wind Flower Festival continued until the wind flower was presented, and the title of Wind Flower Festival Star was awarded by the Grand Master.

The girl deserved it and was surrounded by everyone, and then everyone went to the tavern to prepare for the party.

But, without knowing when, she had fallen behind everyone.

They walked away laughing, as if they had never noticed the girl who had fallen behind.

Until this moment——

Only then did 丿Youya seem to realize something.

No, it's not that they didn't notice it, but...

"I" am right in the center of them, that sweet-smiling, adorable girl who is laughing and chatting happily with her sister.

It turned out that she was just standing behind and watching everyone.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment, and Mr. Voice didn't come on stage to explain anything at this inopportune moment.

It was as if this really was her life.

Have you ever brought others brief joy and memories that will be remembered forever?

Those so-called chances to start over were good, but what made her even more sad now was when would the pain that this departure had brought to her family and friends ever be healed?

……

Bathed in the morning breeze, the girl sitting in front of the window tilted her head and the book on her lap fell to the ground.

Then, a hand picked it up and put it back into the girl's arms.

At the door, big warm tears kept rolling down Amber's cheeks, and her eyes were red and swollen.

Grandpa An also seemed to have aged a lot. His eagle eyes were now cloudy and unclear. He remained silent. He could only gently hug his granddaughter and look at the girl's sister.

Even though tears were streaming down her cheeks, she still smiled and spoke softly as if she was doing it in the past.

"...Yuya, the Wind Flower Festival is here."
