Chapter 17: Mortal Time

Before I knew it, a short time passed

Rhodes sat at his desk, a little confused about how to express the deep emptiness in his heart.

It was probably like a deep hole that could not be filled.

Winter goes and spring comes, and there is no snow anymore.

But the weather is still very cold and there is no way.

"Teacher? Are you free today?"

Behind him, a vibrant voice unique to the girl, turned around and it was Fujino.

Compared to a while ago, the girl had stopped taking medication without realizing it? Ah, it was probably when she discovered that she had appendicitis a few weeks ago.

Because several girls who accidentally did not use analgesics regularly and caused abdominal pain seemed to finally understand how stupid it was to use drugs, so they stopped taking medication after persuasion.

Thinking about it now, it is really the right thing to do.

"What? Fujino? Do you want me to take you home?"

Turning around with a smile, putting down the documents in his hand that had not been finished but had not been written for a long time, Rhode stood up and walked towards the door.

Standing next to Fujino, then naturally put his hand on Fujino's head.

I laughed out loud.

"No, teacher" Fujino smiled, very beautiful. This quiet girl didn't even smile, as soft as a lily.

"Ahhh, is that right? But I think no one dares to do stupid things long ago, right?"

Smiling, both of them laughed.

In the past few months, legends have spread in the city, and the so-called bad boys have been eaten by monsters. Although I don’t know why it is so close to the truth,

Look at each other and smile.

This tacit understanding

It's already May

Time passed without realizing it, and the influence of the black mud became ambiguous. The surging evil had reached the point where he could reach it, but unexpectedly, it seemed not so serious.

It was like being blocked by a layer of diaphragm. Although it eroded most of the body, the influence of the mental part was not as heavy as imagined.

Don't worry about it.

"So, what's going on today?"

"It's just something, I hope I can ask for the teacher's opinion."

After thinking about it, Rodri nodded.

"Okay, as you wish"

Fujino raised his head, seriously, with a smile without deviation.

Confused and confused

When is this smile compatible with that person's smile

When I was a little bit back to the past, the senior smiled like this when he was still in the middle of the country.

In the world like winter snow, it is like a warm sun, making people fall in love with it.

At that time, Asakusa Fujino knew that this was the smile she longed for.

At home, you will never see a smile.

-She has been captured by this smile.

And she was really redeemed by someone with such a smile

"What's wrong? Fujino? Aren't you leaving?"

- Thoughts were interrupted, Asakusa Fujino smiled. This was a smile that had not bloomed for a long time, but it was so beautiful.

Whether it is life or joy, as consciousness returns to the body, Fujino has returned to the life she should have.

Rhodes couldn't help but be captured by this sudden smile.

It seems that he had seen such a smile many years ago

A sudden appearance, stunning, unreplicable

"Teacher E?"

Fujino tilted his head, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Rhode's hand, but he still smiled regretfully and gave up.

She pointed Rhode's arm gently.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah nothing, I just remember my past friends."

Past, friends?

A black figure seemed to flash in front of me -

"Oh"

"What's wrong?"

"There are no teachers, I just remembered the people I met in middle school."

The two began to walk forward slowly in the corridor.

Click click click click click

Stepping on the ground, gradually fading away.

"Ah, are you a good friend?"

"No, a very good senior"

Da?? Da?? Da

"Ah, if you say that, it may be really good. Don't you plan to meet again? If you are such a good senior-"

"No, I probably can't see the teacher?"

"Yeah? That's what I mean, so I can't see it."

"Is this how?"

Click

Rhodes stopped for a moment, so Fujino also stopped.

Turn your head.

"Now"

He asked.

"Is it a pity?"

"No, there is no regret at all, where is the teacher?"

“Same for me”

I think that's enough.

The two men, without regrets, continued walking in the corridor and then disappeared at the end.

There is no need to regret it, right?

Both Rhodes and Fujino thought so.

Life is a line that keeps moving forward.

I regret it, I am confused, it is just to make people move forward more firmly, right?

If you don’t regret it, you won’t know the way forward, and if you are not confused, it will be difficult to verify the hardships of the past.

But, if you can, never have any regrets.

Regret is something irreversible and something that cannot be achieved.

"Don't have any regrets, you have to do whatever you think of"

Rhodes smiled, this is a story of experience.

"Of course, I understand completely"

Fujino smiled.

Because hope has been obtained.

Human beings are such a wonderful creature. With hope, they will keep moving forward. Even if it is hope of despair, they will still be obsessed with it.

It is extremely beautiful, as magnificent as a moth to a fire.

"--I won't let go again, it's enough once."

She murmured to herself.

"Yeah, did you say anything?"

"No, nothing"

Soon, the corridor became quiet
Chapter completed!
