Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"I'm just going to talk... Can you please let go first..."

"hey-hey."

Sayuri Yukino let go.

Oreki Gen rubbed his neck.

He said with emotion.

"Senior is such an amazing person."

Sayuri Yukino picked up a piece of meat and put it in Oreki Gen's bowl, then said with a smile.

"I am an ordinary person. We are all ordinary people. I just happened to create a little magic in this world."

"Saying this kind of thing at this time makes me feel like I'm in a movie."

Sayuri Yukino blinked.

"Life is a long movie, and we are all actors."

"Who is the audience then? God?"

Oreki Gen looked up and saw only the ruthless ceiling, which was silent.

Sayuri Yukino shook her head and took a sip of beer.

“We are also the audience.”

“Both an actor and an audience member?”

"Of course, because we see each other's existence, we have seen each other's life. Maybe in the future, we will separate and never see each other again, but we will always keep the memory of each other. This is the best audience, isn't it?"

Oreki Gen raised his glass with emotion.

This was a rare time when he took the initiative to toast someone.

"Senior, this is the moment when I think you are most philosophical. Cheers."

Sayuri Yukino raised her glass excitedly.

"cheers!!"

"boom."

“Welcome to visit next time~”

The door of the barbecue restaurant was opened, and two young boys and girls with rosy cheeks holding coats appeared in the rich night.

The cool autumn breeze ruffles my hair.

It makes people a little more sober.

In fact, they didn't drink too much, it's just that the slight effect of alcohol made them feel a little dizzy, but Oreki Xian felt that this kind of dizziness was a good thing.

It makes people feel free and happy from the bottom of their hearts without any special reason.

"So...are you going home?"

Oreki Gen looked at Sayuri Yukino beside him.

The girl looked at Oreki Gen.

"So, Tsurugi-san, do you want to go home?"

Oreki Gen thought about it for a moment.

"What else can I do if I don't go home?"

"How about... going to the hotel?"

"As for the hotel...huh?!"

57: I Believe (Additional Chapter 20!)

"..."

Quiet and silent.

Only the autumn wind whistles past gently.

Oreki Gen looked at Sayuri Yukino, and Sayuri Yukino also looked at Oreki Gen and blinked.

It seemed that he was not aware at all how shocking what he just said was.

Until Oreki Xian finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Are you kidding me?"

"You also know that I was joking? I thought you took it seriously just now."

Sayuri Yukino's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and her expression looked as if she was somewhat smug about having teased the boy.

After Oreki Gen came to his senses, he knew that the girl could only be joking, but he was still a little surprised and shocked when he heard it.

If you think about it for a moment, you will know that this is not something Sayuri Yukino would say. It's not because he knows her very well, but this girl doesn't have such a tendency. If she would get so drunk with just a little bit of alcohol, then Oreki Gen would never have started drinking with her.

They all have cause and effect.

The boy said unhappily.

"So why do you have to make such a joke, Senior Sister is really..."

Sayuri Yukino and Oreki Gen were walking side by side on the street, and she smiled as she saw the boy's helpless and somewhat dissatisfied expression.

"You're not angry anymore, are you?"

"Why should I be angry?"

"Because I failed to live up to your expectations."

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't have such expectations at all."

Oreki Gen directly denied it.

But the girl took two quick steps and walked in front of Oreki Gen, as if blocking the boy's way, and just stood in front of the boy and looked at him in reverse.

"what happened?"

Oreki Xian asked curiously.

Sayuri Yukino generously shows off her figure, or perhaps at this moment in the dark, her unique temperament and delicate face.

"Take a good look at me again. Really... no expectations at all?"

It seemed like a challenge to one's bottom line.

But Oreki Gen is not stupid. He will only hurt himself if he falls for any provocation.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the charming girl in front of him. It seemed like Sayuri Yukino was wearing countless masks, and his true appearance could not be captured.

"What do you want me to expect, Senior?"

Sayuri Yukino smiled slightly.

"I don't have any expectations. I'm just testing Oreki-san."

"Is there any need to test it?"

“Because this way I can walk with Oreki-san without any worries.”

"Since you are so wary, why don't I go home?"

Oreki Gen said so.

Sayuri Yukino immediately reached out and grabbed the boy's arm.

"Oh~ I was just kidding, don't be angry~"

"Anyway, anything you say can be considered a joke, so you are invincible, senior."

Sayuri Yukino turned her head and looked at Oreki Gen.

"Then do you want to hear my true feelings?"

Her eyes at this moment seemed to be able to penetrate sharply into his heart.

There is an arc of light that makes it impossible to look directly at it.

Oreki Gen turned his head away, letting the cold wind pass over his cheek.

"Where are we going for a walk?"

It was an understatement, but it was a somewhat forced change of subject.

But Sayuri Yukino also let go of her hand and put on her smile again, as if everything that had just happened had never happened.

"Well, since we're just taking a walk... let's just walk around casually. It's about going with the flow, what do you think?"

Oreki Xian looked at the time and it was actually not too late.

It's still a time when I can't even fall asleep, so there's no urgency.

"I'm fine with that, just go for a walk."

Oreki Gen had no intention of refusing. After all, today was the other person's birthday, and a little companionship was nothing. He might as well complete a small side quest that would not affect anything.

But will it really not affect anything?

Two people walked under the intersecting neon lights, unable to see the stars in the sky. Some of the passers-by were laughing, while others were worried. None of this had anything to do with them now.

“Come to think of it, Oreki-san and Sakuraba-san have known each other for a long time?”

I don’t know what Sayuri Yukino saw, but she suddenly asked this question.

Oreki Xian looked at the other person strangely.

"We just met before the summer vacation, what's wrong?"

Sayuri Yukino shook her head.

"It's okay. It's quite strange. So it hasn't been long since you met and became a couple, right?"

Oreki Gen nodded.

"Well, not for long. But isn't it normal to fall in love quickly in this day and age?"

"What about a quicker breakup?"

"Who knows."

In fact, Oreki Gen knew the answer. They were a couple that would never break up. Even for his own life, there would never be such a day.

As for why I made such a choice even though I knew the result would be like this... there is no other way. Some things can only be done like this at this point. It is probably equivalent to destroying both sides.

"So what do you think of Asagiri-san?"

Oreki Gen said pretending to be stupid.

"What do you think?"

Sayuri Yukino smiled and said, "You can't say that she and you have the same relationship as you and I do, right?"

Indeed, there is no way to answer this question.

Regardless of the degree of ambiguity or his feelings towards the two of them, Oreki Gen couldn't answer that way.

What a special person Asagiri Ryou is.

There lives a lonely soul, but also an interesting personality.

The traits she reveals are often annoying, but there are more fascinating things about her than what makes her annoying.

There are too many strange people in this world.

Some people are weird, but that's a different kind of charm.

Oreki Gen stopped and looked at Sayuri Yukino.
