7. Failure must be acknowledged
"No matter what happens, it is incorrect to treat a girl like this. I can't ignore it."
"Ha, what do you know? What do you know me? What can you understand?"
"You've already said a lot to me the other night."
"It's great to know by speaking? A world that can be understood by dialogue. Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud."
The voice became a little rude, but his eyes were sour that they couldn't help but float up to the ceiling, trying not to see the miserable scene. The loud voice even people on the same floor poked their heads out of the various compartments in surprise, looking at the two girls standing at the elevator entrance, snuggling each other on the ground.
‘Hey? What happened?’
‘Isn’t the light novel writer crying on the ground?’
‘What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Is there big news?’
‘It seems that the man is hitting his girlfriend on several boats now?’
An unknown anger circled in my heart.
"Do you do whatever you should do! Is it fun to ask about other people's private affairs if you have nothing to do? I wonder if it will cause trouble for people!"
Subconsciously yelled back as I said in my memory, and my heads suddenly shrank and there was no one in the air. The empty hall gave people a strange sense of quietness. Only the subtle sounds that were sobbing on the ground echoed in the space.
Xue Zhixia didn't say anything, but gently stroked Feng's back and looked at me with a calm look.
It was not anger or anger, but a kind of pity that was looking at the machine that was about to be scrapped. It was a kind of regret that seemed to be looking at a meteor. Just as expected, the conversation I didn't know that night seemed to expose a lot of things.
She is now regretting what I think and do now.
"Huh...I'm back."
I let out a long sigh, and under that look, I suddenly lost the will to continue talking.
"……Wait."
But the familiar force of the traction appeared behind him again.
You can see along the smooth elevator door that the puppy trembling in the storm was holding the corner of the man's clothes with all his strength, and even the tip of his boots was trembling, as if he could fall down at any time.
"This time, the master is ranked fourth. Congratulations... The master is on the list of the most influential figures. Congratulations... The master won the award in the international competition last time. Congratulations..." Breathing was messy, and he was panting like a cry. The voice of blessing sounded behind him like a mosquito, almost drowned in the rain outside the window.
“…”
I looked at the heavy rain outside the window and remained silent.
The body reflected on the elevator door gradually decreased, and the force of pulling back slowly disappeared.
"I haven't visited you at your master's house for several years, I'm sorry."
"I have never said thank you, sorry."
"I didn't want to say that at the beginning, I'm sorry."
"The only thing I want to say... From the beginning to the end, I didn't blame you even once." The girl bowed deeply on the mirror, then quietly turned around and left under the sad gaze under the snow. The light pink sweater lingered like a butterfly. Just like it was as inexplicable when she came, the girl was still ethereal when she left.
“…”
"Is that good?"
“…It’s good.”
Regarding the question that was quietly spread from Xue Zhixia, I nodded indifferently. Then, the rumored in the silent room next door, "Great! Success! We are indeed the ones favored by destiny!" Amid such shouts, I waved to Xue Zhixia and walked towards the elevator.
The mission has been completed, and the next step is not the time for the ‘Service Department’, but the time for the ‘Hikigaya Hachiman’.
Chapter completed!
