Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

The other party’s words before are still vivid in my mind.

What if he wakes up and finds that Kiyono Yuri has become a different person... Oreki Gen won't be able to find a way to save the situation.

“You do need to be careful...”

Kiyono Yuri suddenly wasn't as happy anymore.

But it is also necessary. Although it is not a good thing to let people's emotions fluctuate, it is better than blindly touching danger.

From this perspective, Oreki Gen does not want Kiyono Yuri to try to save Sakura Aokana, even though it is indeed a pity that the girl seems to have become a vegetable.

But facing such a big risk, losing yourself is even more terrifying.

Oreki Gen nodded, as if he was about to fall asleep on the other's delicate legs.

And Kiyono Yuri glanced at the boy who had his eyes slightly closed.

she said softly.

"But...thank you this time."

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you...you did all this again and didn't let this me disappear."

Kiyono Yuri obviously knew those options.

That's why they say such things and touch the other person's forehead gently with their fingers, touching it very carefully.

Oreki Gen didn't open his eyes and smiled.

"Speaking of this, I would like to ask... When faced with this choice, did the store manager choose that I would sacrifice myself?"

Since the choice is correct, it means that I have made the same choice as her.

So the other party thinks he will sacrifice himself? This is amazing.

Kiyono Yuri shook her head and slid her fingers across the boy's cheek. The touch from her fingertips was a temperature that made her heartbeat slightly faster.

"I... chose myself. The only difference is that the choice she gave me was between you... and Kiyono Ryo, and my mother and Sakura Aika."

"So that's it..."

The choices are indeed different, and the choices I face are those girls I am familiar with.

And her choice is naturally the person who is important to her.

Eh...

and many more.

"Then why didn't you choose to sacrifice me?"

Oreki Gen opened his eyes strangely and looked at the other person.

That's right.

Since those were important people...why not sacrifice herself, but herself?

What does this mean...

Qingno Yuri couldn't help but blush.

"Didn't you choose yourself too? Why are you asking me? I want to ask you something!"

Oreki Gen immediately became embarrassed.

What to say?

The second-year soul broke out?

Or... something even stranger?

But did she hear my frank scumbag speech? No... it's too embarrassing, can you forget it?

All of a sudden, Oreki Gen swallowed back what he was about to say.

He replied awkwardly.

"Ah...yes, it seems we all have noble souls..."

"idiot..."

Qingye Yuri blushed and spat softly.

Oreki Gen thought about it for a moment.

"So...are we about to wake up?"

Kiyono Yuri looked at Oreki Gen.

"Do you really want to wake up now?"

Oreki Gen replied as a matter of course.

"Why don't you wake up? Are you going to keep sleeping? You..."

Then he saw the gaze that Kiyono Yuri was casting over him. It was somewhat moving and blurred, as if there was an overflow of spring light rippling in it.

It seems to be mixed with other...heart-pounding emotions.

She reached out her hand to brush the hair by her ears, and Oreki saw her ears burning.

Her voice was soft.

"Isn't it a shame to leave like this?"

"So...what else do you want to do?"

Oreki Gen said this.

Then he saw Kiyono Yuri looking at him, and then lowering her head little by little.

She held her face in her hands.

This posture, this action, looks... so familiar.

The familiarity makes my heart beat faster and I can feel the ambiguous atmosphere spreading.

Is she going to...

He watched Qingye Yuri lower her head little by little, getting closer and closer to his lips and his cheek, and she finally said.

"Anyway...it's just a dream, right..."

5: Yes, it was just a dream.

"Hey! Why are you so close to her?"

The vague memory is both distant and profound.

"What's wrong... This is Kiyono-san."

"Of course I know it's Kiyono Yuri! But you don't know about her? Are you looking for death?"

Familiar friends were pulled aside.

Hiding from my sight, it is a familiar scene.

The girl in school uniform and pigtails lowered her eyes slightly. She lowered her head to read a book and didn't want to listen.

Because she roughly knew what the content would be, and every time she had expectations, her hopes would be shattered...it was always the same, nothing special.

It just makes me particularly heartbroken.

"What's wrong? This is..."

"Her father left her when she was young, and her mother died in a car accident some time ago. Aren't you afraid that she might be an unlucky star?"

"What the hell... saying such weird things doesn't make sense. What era is this? I don't believe in this."

"Of course the evil star thing is just a joke, it's definitely fake. But there is one thing that is true, and you may not know it."

"what?"

"Her father is Qing Yexiong... Do you know why her mother had an accident? It was because her father's enemy took revenge! What if he took revenge on her? You are so close to her, what if one day the enemy also hits her with a car and hits you in the process?"

"...It's not that scary."

The girl opened her book, which was empty. There had not been a single note in the past few days.

Because most of the class time was spent by her in a daze.

It's more of a way to digest something than to daydream.

Not understanding the world, questioning fate, and... sadness over the departure of my mother.

She knew that something was going to happen to her again.

Those who speak as if they have the courage to face the unknown, after weighing the pros and cons, finally choose to stay away from their own world.

She no longer had any expectations for this.

Thinking back now, Kiyono Yuri feels that her student days were never glorious.

It's a gray and black-and-white photo.

Those revolving scenes are nothing but a boring film loop, with very few passages that allow for joy and happiness.

Or...almost nothing.

Just as you stop having any expectations, the people around you will not have any expectations of you.

It gradually became transparent, as if it had become the wallpaper in the classroom.

Became the dust falling from the blackboard.

Become a part of...all the insignificant things.

I am not important.

It never mattered.

She once tried hard to become an important person...but what destroyed it all?

Is it an unreasonable fate?

Should I choose to marry the man who came to Sakura City to get my mother?

Or...or was I destined to an unhappy life from birth.

she does not know.

She could only constantly miss her mother's face, her tenderness, and every lonely night when she held her in her arms.

The lonelier and more isolated she felt, the more she missed her mother.

The more I can't forget her, the more I want to remember every picture of her.

And the result is obvious... She has no way to resist the hatred in her heart, whether it is towards the so-called fate or towards the man who cost her mother her life.

All she had left was hatred.

Thus began a long life of living alone.

Reading alone.

Take the test alone.

Go to and from school alone.

Rent a house alone.

Working alone.

Everything is oneself.

She began to reject any help, knowing that all the superficial kindness was fragile and would disappear easily.

Because of a change in public opinion or some weighing of pros and cons, it may suddenly collapse.

Because I am not that important...not important at all.

The first person who made him feel that he really existed in this world was Sakura Qinghua.
