"It's Yushan after all... Hello, Yushan." The father nodded and took the handbag handed to him by the mother, "It's hot outside, right?"

"Of course it's hot." Mother took father's hand.

"Thanks a lot."

"Ah."

"I'm all sweaty." He took out a tissue and wiped it off.

"..."

Ye Yue Li Ya couldn't bear to watch it anymore and stepped over the entrance.

"...That's enough for you two."

"Hey, wait, wait." Her father called out to her.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yue Liya stopped, turned around and asked.

"After entering Yushan, practice won't be as easy as before."

"It wasn't easy before." Ye Yue Liya said unconvinced.

"Okay, okay, it's not easy... Let me put it another way. You have to be more serious in the next practice."

“Always very serious.”

"Yes - seriously, seriously, then when I teach you, please be more serious, okay?"

"Okay then." Ye Yue Liya nodded reluctantly.

"Good." Her father was satisfied, and then began to preach, "Playing the flute is not an easy thing. You must be serious and persistent. Li Mi, you are still far from it. You can't let down..."

Reya Hazuki didn't want to listen, and walked towards the room, but halfway there, she suddenly remembered something, and turned around——

"I'm the best at playing the flute in the world!"

After shouting something without any context, she turned around and continued walking towards the room.

Behind her, there was a moment of silence followed by a gentle laugh - it was her mother's.

then.

"What's going on?" her father asked puzzledly.

"To you."

"I?"

"..."

"Why did you tell her about this kind of thing..."

"Why, are you shy? You look cute when you're shy."

"...No, I'm worried that she's too complacent."

"If you want to praise me, just do it directly. You and your daughter really have the same personality... What is this called, tsundere?"

"..."

……

"Yushan Wind Ensemble, national gold medal, Mom, did you see it?"

"How am I playing? Did you see me?"

"Third row, middle."

"Isn't it awesome?"

"You said I couldn't participate in the national competition. You were overthinking it."

“I will still be a soloist in the future.”

"By the way, where is Dad? Why can't I see him?"

"..."

"mom?"

"mom."

"Hey--"

The national competition is over. In late October in Kyoto, the autumn colors are beautiful and the sky is bright.

Hazuki Reiya grabbed the hand of her mother who was walking in front of her.

however……

Before she recovered from the joy of winning the gold medal in the national competition, she suddenly saw in her field of vision:

The hand she was holding became dry and thin, covering the bones in an instant.

Profile, pale and bloodless.

The light also turned pale, and all the surrounding scenery disappeared, becoming a dazzling white.

Her mother turned around.

His eye sockets were sunken and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, like a man-eating evil spirit.

Her mouth opened and closed stiffly, like an old machine, operating awkwardly.

"Reiya."

"return."

"..."

Ye Yue Liya was stunned.

She had grasped her mother's hand, and then she let it go weakly, but...

Her mother grabbed her arm with her backhand, so hard that her nails seemed to dig into her flesh.

She came closer, and a sharp voice exploded in her ears——

"If Keisuke dies, it's all your fault!

! ”

……

Ye Yue Liya opened her eyes quickly, and her body, which was originally leaning against the window, bounced away.

Shocked.

She stared blankly at the back of the front seat.

The sound of the train running was constant, and there were a few people chatting quietly. It was very quiet. A girl sitting next to her seemed to be frightened and looked at her, not knowing what to do.

"..."

Time passed little by little, and Ye Yue Li Ya finally came back to his senses.

After a moment, she slowly raised her hand and touched her own face. There was a chill where her fingertips touched.

She turned her head and looked toward the car window.

The car window reflected her vague image, and she saw that her eyes were red and tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"..."

……

We have arrived in Tokyo.

After getting off the Shinkansen and leaving Tokyo Station, Reiya Hazuki followed the navigation on the map on her mobile phone and took the train. After getting off the train, she walked towards the address that Shinohara Shiori told her.

The station is not far from Pingchuan’s home, just a few steps away.

This location is really good.

When she arrived here, Ye Yue Li Ya found a place among the many large single-family houses.

She put away her phone and looked at the building in front of her.

It can be seen that owning such a house in the central area of Tokyo is really...

Ye Yue Li Ya dismissed the subconscious thoughts in her mind.

She was silent for a moment, then walked forward and rang the doorbell of the house.

"Ding Dong."

……

Ye Yue Li Ya took out her cell phone and took a look at it, ignoring the missed calls and countless messages that popped up, and looked at the time displayed in the middle of the cracked screen.

【16:50】

Ten minutes had passed since she rang the doorbell for the first time.

Not at home...huh?

Hazuki Reiya pressed the doorbell one last time.

Five minutes later, she left the closed door.

……

Now, where should she go?

Reiya Yezuki returned to the tram station, stood on the platform, looked ahead, and was in a daze.

No contact information...

In fact, the idea of coming to Tokyo was just a sudden impulse to try it out.

Do you really want to find that person?

Not necessarily.
