97. A corner of the past(1/2)
One day, a person who looks exactly like you suddenly appears while you are taking a shower.
He said he wanted to take you to find his brother.
Will you agree?
Will there be a ghost if you agree?
In fact, the moment the girl appears.
Mio Natsume immediately stood up halfway from the bathtub, raised her right arm to cover her chest, and looked at the girl next to her with a look of alert: "Who are you?"
"Ah?... the memory should be unblocked."
The girl from the Yellow Spring Country, or Mika, saw Mio Natsume looking alert, could only take her hands back first.
She stared at Meimei, who showed a large area of snow-white skin, frowned slightly, and said unconfidently: "Isn't it untied? It's impossible, I've seen you in a hotel in Tokyo before..."
"I know, I remember it. So I asked who you are!"
Mio Natsume pursed her lips: "Why did my memory disappear, what exactly do you want to do?"
"...Do you want to guess?"
Mika smiled softly: "After all, you are me. Combined with the stories I told you before, guess what I want to do... and there are rewards."
"You want to replace me."
Natsume Mio stared at Mika without thinking: "Last time we met in the hotel, you said you wanted to replace me, and you said we would try to exchange identities, but I clearly rejected you, so why did you still lose your memory..."
? "Because I tried it, I met my righteous brother." Meijia put her hands behind her back, raised her proud chest, with a little childish pride.
"you……"
When Natsume Mio heard this, she immediately stood up from the bathtub.
Crash.
With the splashes that were stirring up, it was thrilling.
Natsume Mio stood in front of Mika. She pursed her cherry lips and looked at the girl who was exactly the same as her in front of her, as if she was having a quarrel, and she felt a little dissatisfied.
"Aren't you cold?" Mika welcomed Mio Natsume's gaze calmly, and even said casually and cared about Mio.
Natsume Mio stared at her and didn't move. After a while, she suddenly said, "Brother Yi must have recognized you. You are not me."
"……No."
The girl who was wearing a full-length dress made of crow feathers and was just now stunned for a moment, then her cheeks were slightly bulging, and her head suddenly turned aside and refused to admit it.
But Mio Natsume knew her very well, and she chuckled.
In an instant, it was like a dark cloud breaking through the moon.
Her beautiful little face seemed to have passed away.
"MiO"
Then, the next second.
Accompanied by the sound of panic footsteps.
The cute JK with short shoulder-length hair in linen finally appeared in the bathroom. Although it was a little slower, Shiori obviously felt Mika's arrival.
Natsume Mio and Mika next to the bathtub heard Shiori's voice and looked at the door together.
Shiori found that two Mio were looking at her, her shoulders shrank, and immediately knew what was going on, and stepped back.
Only a small head was poked out from the door frame.
"Shiori, come here."
But Mika didn't want to let her go, so she waved to her directly.
Shiori was slightly stunned, with a grievance on her face, but in the end she reluctantly walked to Mika's side.
"Do you know her... Shiori."
Mio Natsume looked at the shorter girl and was slightly surprised.
Mika reached out and pressed Shiori's head. Without waiting for Shiori to respond, she suddenly said astonishingly: "Actually, Shiori is my daughter and my brother-in-law."
“…”
Shiori and Mio looked up at her at the same time.
shock.
Especially Shiori.
She said "Ah?" and then fell silent.
Seeing the reactions of the two, Mika pursed her lips and a bright smile appeared on her face... exactly like Mio just now.
Then, she paused for a while until the two of them had almost digested their words, and then continued word by word: "Of course, they are not the kind of children in the conventional way. Shiori just possesses some characteristics of me and my righteous brother..."
"You scared me to death!"
Shiori's eyes were filled with tears, her delicate little face wrinkled, and she said in a crying voice: "I thought I wanted to call you and Mio's mother, you are obviously the same age as me..."
Mika rubbed her face and smiled and said, "If you want to scream, you can do it."
Shiori avoided her hand: "Go away..."
"Do you need it?"
Mio squatted down slowly, hugged her chest, lowered her head, and complained in a low voice.
"You took it first."
Mika said something she could understand, and it belonged to Mio's girlish thoughts.
Mio Natsume: "…"
"Okay, I'll be honest."
The girl wearing a full-length skirt and a ponytail put away the smile on her face. She looked at Mio, who was lowered her head in the bathtub, took a step forward, and then stepped into the bathtub.
Her clothes began to burn, and the black fireworks became more and more prosperous.
The embers left by burning the woven crow's feathers floated in the air.
The stars are like fireflies.
soon.
The clothes were burned to pieces by the flames.
Mika completely stepped into the bathtub, then squatted down in front of Mio, carefully holding her knees and looking at her.
Natsume Mio raised her head and asked in a low voice: "What the hell do you want to do."
Mika was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said: "MiO, I thought he would be stricter with you this time, but unfortunately... it's still the same as before, with no change at all. Compared to teaching you more and letting you endure hardships, he seems to be more willing to protect you.
He is really a fool. Sometimes I don’t know whether to scold him or like him more... But Mio, you must not want to experience that kind of powerlessness, that kind of powerlessness that happens in front of you but cannot change it."
Meijia's expression was dazed and her voice was empty, as if she would float away at any time.
When Natsume Mio heard her words, she remembered the "endorsement" she heard at the Tokyo Hotel. She suddenly raised her hand and held the wrist of the girl in front of her.
"Yes, you don't want to, because we are the same."
Mika raised her right hand, held Mio's soft face, rubbed it gently, and said gently: "So go to him, I'll give you the strength, you will never drag him back again. When the last moment comes, you won't feel powerless. All you need to do is just help him."
Natsume Mio opened her mouth and wanted to ask something.
But before she could say anything
Mika stood up and pulled her up violently.
Then Mika opened her hand and hugged Mio Natsume.
The two girls, who are tall, waist circumference and body proportions, are exactly the same, and are even more like twins than twins, and they are hugged each other without any obstacles.
Mika leaned forward and gently kissed Mio's forehead.
Without waiting for Mio to struggle.
In the bathroom.
Suddenly, an inexplicable storm broke out.
Shiori's delicate body trembled, her face was mourning, and she immediately hid in Mio's shadow.
The wind gradually stopped.
Mika raised her head again, and her figure slowly became illusory.
She looked at herself, her eyes were slightly red, but her face showed a smile:
"Next, I will seal your memory again, but you will definitely know the truth. You will see your previous righteous brother, the foolish righteous brother before. I hope you can take this as a warning after reading it and don't let him do stupid things anymore. You only need to give up me and give up my useless waste... It's really stupid."
As he talked.
A drop of crystal tears slid down Mika's cheeks.
