“…This is the same thing again.”
After Huibara pulled the thing out and took a quick look at it, she lost interest and was about to throw it into the trash can, but something fell out and hit Huibara's fingers.
Takanari heard the sound of pain made by Teacher Haibara.
Then there was the sound of metallic clanging.
Lowering her head stiffly, Takanashi saw the blade fallen on the ground and Teacher Haibara's scratched finger.
"…………………"
Xiao Niaoyou remained silent.
She just took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, and then she clenched her fists as if she couldn't help it.
Even after her finger was scratched, Huibara only showed a slightly painful expression, and then looked for a Band-Aid in the box on her desk.
There is one thing that Xiao Niaoyou remembers very clearly.
This woman is most afraid of pain.
Even if it’s just a small cut on my finger while cooking, sometimes it hurts so much that I want to cry.
But now, the woman seemed to be alone in the office, pretending nothing had happened and calmly putting a Band-Aid on herself.
Until when she was putting on the Band-Aid, the blood from her finger accidentally dripped onto the photo on the table. Huibara froze for a moment, and her expression froze.
After this, it was the first time that Kotori saw a woman crying because of sadness.
This strange woman who always made her guess was like any ordinary person. She controlled her emotions and cleaned up the soiled photos. After that, she lay on the table and cried silently.
It turns out that this woman would cry because of such a thing, and cry at such a time.
For the first time, Kotori seemed to feel that she understood Haibara a little, but she was not happy at all.
In this office, a scene that casts a gloomy mood is happening.
Looking at Huibara lying on the table, Kotori instinctively reached out her hand and stroked the woman's trembling back. Then, when the woman didn't notice, her hand slowly moved up and touched the woman's hair.
The girl caressed the injured woman.
But this is just her self-consolation, because the woman in front of her can't feel it.
After a while, Teacher Huihara stood up.
She tidied up the table, put all the photos away in the cabinet, then stood there in a daze for a while and picked up a box of cigarettes on her table.
It looks like this woman is going to smoke again.
Next, Xiao Niaoyou followed Huiyuan to the open-air stairs.
Although it was a dream, Xiao Niaoyou could still smell the choking smell of smoke, and she coughed twice.
When she covered her mouth and stopped for a while, she looked up again and suddenly found that Huibara's gaze seemed to be looking under the railing.
If you are looking at the scenery, it is normal to look down.
But the woman's eyes seemed to be looking at how high the building was, as if wondering what would happen if she fell down.
Xiao Niaoyou was stunned.
Then she lowered her head, as if in a trance.
She spoke to the past Haibara who would never respond, as if she wanted to try feebly even if Haibara couldn't hear her.
"It's weird to do that, isn't it?..."
She walked over step by step, following Huibara's gaze, and looked at the ground under the railing.
In fact, for a magical girl like her, such a height is nothing.
But she was very clear about what such a height actually meant to ordinary people.
It will definitely hurt.
Then, because the woman's body is very fragile, her already slender and fragile limbs will become ugly.
"Are you afraid of pain?"
Although Kotori seemed to be speaking calmly, his hand had already reached out and grabbed the woman's arm, as if he was struggling feebly.
And Huiyuan still didn't notice her at all.
It was as if she didn't exist here.
This feeling of powerlessness made Xiao Niaoyou subconsciously hold on tight.
She knew very well that these things had happened in the past, but she didn't want to see such things happen no matter what.
"It's better not to do that... It hurts, and it will look ugly. Although you always say that your appearance is fine, but in fact you care a lot behind the scenes, right?"
Xiao Niaoyou's tone changed from being as calm as ever at the beginning to slowly showing signs of wavering emotions. Her tone gradually became more and more helpless, and she began to reveal her inner panic.
But even so...
Even so, Haibara did not look at her. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at the distant and empty ground, as if she was gradually convinced by some thoughts in her heart and rejected the little bird swim beside her.
"…………Don't you have a daughter?"
"She must be very important to you, right?"
"And there should be other people who care about you. No matter who they are, it would be too much to do this. Do you want to escape everything and abandon them like this?"
When she saw the unshakable reality, Kotori's tone and words became intense. She kept shaking the woman in front of her, staring at her with a gradually fragmented expression.
Before that, every scene that Bird Tour experienced became particularly clear.
The backs of a woman and the student council president wearing a yukata laughing during the celebration.
In the gray rain, a woman was held up as an umbrella by a strange girl, and together they walked towards home.
In that gray and white health room, the woman was touched by Kurosaki Asuka and seemed to be expressing her feelings.
They all seemed strange to her and had nothing to do with her.
Until the end, this girl from Luluye, who had tried so hard to maintain her little self-esteem for so long and whose sanity was on the verge of collapse, fell into despair at this moment.
She clutched the woman's sleeve tightly, her thin shoulders trembling slightly:
"If this is a nightmare, then wake up quickly..."
The woman's thoughts seemed to have been determined.
At the last moment before she did that, as if recounting the past that had happened several years ago, a huge explosion sounded in the school square not far away.
"---boom!"
The smoke produced by the explosion rose from a distance, accompanied by the flames that had not yet ceased.
After that, the flames spread rapidly, even burning the teaching building where students were still inside, turning the entire school into a sea of fire in an instant.
And the woman's original intention naturally came to a temporary halt.
The school was filled with the sounds of students shouting in panic.
When looking at the corridor inside from the open-air staircase door, flames spread from the end of the corridor, burning the classrooms and corridors, and students' screams could be heard.
The alarm for the appearance of the strange man was sounded shortly thereafter.
Kotori looked at Huiyuan again. She thought Huiyuan would stop thinking and run away...
"Wait, teacher, where are you going? You don't want to..."
She stretched out her hand, but this time she couldn't grab Huibara, because this was an unchangeable scene in the nightmare, and she couldn't stop Huibara from leaving.
And that was the final scene of the nightmare.
.....................
When the flames filled the entire classroom, Kuroki Yuuka's mind went blank.
When facing the fire, smelling the familiar burning smell and the scorching temperature, Kuroki Yuuko was almost unable to move because of fear, and his whole body was shaking violently.
She was the only one in the classroom now.
The window side of the classroom was left open due to the destruction done by some weirdo.
Everything is the same as before.
She was caught in the fire and was so frightened that she couldn't move.
In this former nightmare, Kuroki Yuuko began to remember more and more of her past experiences, including her battles as a magical girl and her failure in the final battle in not being able to save her friends.
Now, she was trapped in the flames once again.
However, she discovered that she could no longer transform into the magical girl An Yu.
She kept trying to press the magic crystal into the wand with trembling hands, but the wand did not respond at all.
——The Fallen Angel no longer responded to her call now.
Now, she cannot transform into the magical girl An Yu, but is just a weak ordinary person.
Despair gradually emerged in Kuroki Yuuko's pupils, and those desperate eyes were about to be engulfed by flames.
"Fallen, move... why don't you respond to me?"
She said in a voice that was about to cry.
At this moment, she no longer looked like a magical girl at all. She was just shivering in the suffocating fire, struggling desperately in the face of fear and death.
She looked outside the classroom and was about to walk a little further away when she saw flames spreading everywhere, blocking almost all her exits. In her panic, she was unable to calm down and find the right way out.
The fire spread little by little.
The air around Kuroki Yuuka was getting hotter and hotter. The stuffy and anxious feeling seeped into her heart, making her on the verge of collapse.
What should she do?
Is there anyone who can save her...
It all seemed like a nightmare woven for her.
And now, she was about to fall into this nightmare and sleep forever.
Suddenly, she felt something.
When she looked up and out the window, the strange man who attacked the school, the strange man who was strange but made her feel familiar, was slowly lifting a huge stone stained with flames.
And that weirdo seemed to have noticed that there were still students trapped in the classroom on fire.
Then, it lifted the stone...
The rocks were about to fall on him at any moment, but Kuroki Yuuka's legs were shaking constantly and he couldn't move at all.
She was gradually overwhelmed by despair.
Kuroki Yuuko closed his eyes, not wanting to face what was going to happen next.
But just as she heard the rumbling sound of stones being thrown towards her, hitting her classroom and causing the fire to surge over, she suddenly felt someone hugging her.
"---Bang!"
The rocks shattered and waves of fire surged and spread everywhere.
In these few brief moments when he had almost no time to react, Kuroki Ikuko felt himself being thrown to the ground.
She thought she was hit, but her combat experience as a magical girl told her that she seemed to be barely injured.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a figure.
She was being hugged by someone.
A very familiar person.
“………………huh?”
Kuroki Yuuko was stunned, forgetting his fear for a moment, and just stared blankly at the woman who was hugging him.
When the broken pieces of stone were about to hit her, the woman appeared in front of her and saved her.
But the woman herself was hit on the forehead by the fragments, leaving a terrible scratch and bleeding profusely.
Her gaze was almost fixed there.
Why... Mr. Haibara?
