"Maybe God is playing tricks on me..."

Looking at the setting sun under the cherry blossom trees on this island, Tono Makoto slowly sat up from half-sleeping.

"Or it's a bad fate... Why is the hotel you booked next door?" Cheng looked at the "real beach" where there were no more tourists below the hillside, and sighed.

Although Ma Fanliang's study tour did make the entire hotel settled, if there was a brother shop next to it...

[Uh, because I was moving in today, I didn't dare to stay in the hotel...]

[But no matter what, as students, they shouldn't run out to play at night, so let's take a look at night.]

[It's just why I reverse my schedule because of these...]

Because of intuition, Cheng doesn't want to meet people from 3-a at all

He stood up and took off the grass scraps stained. Cheng, who had been sleeping here for a long time, was about to go back to the hotel and say to his cousin who might have gone back.

[Although I mean I can walk around by myself, Shigui really...]

[Hey, I don't understand the troubles...]

I have the idea of ​​sighing.

(Slight sigh)

[...]

[I didn't sigh, did I?]

So Cheng turned around and looked to the other side of the cherry blossom tree.

"call..."

A girl with short hair looked at the cherry blossoms under the tree. In the sunset light, she could still distinguish her pink hair color from the sad expression on her face.

a.Speak out?

b. Just disappear...

[I always think that choosing a will enter a strange branch line...]

Even though I think so, I don't have to choose.

"Um?"

It is natural to be discovered so close, and the girl is facing Cheng with a little surprised expression.

"...I came first, so it's not... No, it may also be ambushing you or something... I can't rule out the suspicion..."

The quiet lasted for only a while, maybe because I slept for an afternoon and felt much less irritable, which made Makoto feel like he was joking.

"...Yeah? Ambush?"

The girl's expression was not enough to react, and then gradually turned into laughter.

"What are you talking about...hehe..."

"Thank you very much, finally someone understands that I'm joking" [What day is it today? I want to write it down...]

"Is that right..." The girl showed a cute thinking expression for a while, then looked at Cheng with a smile, "No one even knows what to say about jokes, that's really pitiful..."

"...will it?" [Pity??? Where is it pitiful...]

"Of course! Because...hey! Forget it, you are a traveler from another place, right?"

The girl who wanted to say suddenly interrupted her thoughts, but seemed to have forgotten what she wanted to say, so she had to turn the topic.

"Maybe... are you a local?"

"Hey! How do you know?"

“…You have used the word ‘from outside’.”

"Ah! Haha...yes." The girl was smiling helplessly.

"Speaking of this, there are so many cherry trees here, and it looks really beautiful at this time." After looking around, Cheng asked a question.

[Especially night cherry blossoms, the sun is too strong during the day, so I don’t feel in the mood to watch...]

"It's not just this time!"

"Um?"

"The cherry blossoms here are regardless of seasons and time. You can see cherry blossoms at any time..."

The girl acted as a temporary commentator, but in the middle it turned into a mixed expression of nostalgia and sadness.

"That's amazing, right...but what are you recalling?"

"Hey? No...I don't know."

“…”

"It's not that way, but..."

"Just can't remember what I want to remember."

"Ah...yes."

"Do you want to remember?"

"...a little." For some reason, the girl and Makoto told the truth.

"But looking at your expression seems to bring painful memories."

"Why?"

"Although I'm not very clear, I think your expression just now should be sad and reluctant to leave."

"Even if that's the case, do you want to recall it?"

The girl seemed a little confused about the strange question that Cheng suddenly asked.

"Yeah? Of course...but you are..."

"... Actually, I am the elf of this cherry blossom~"

"I lied, you didn't know about the cherry blossoms here just now."

[What stupid things I say...]

silence

"Okay, I'm just a seal, but I'm actually a wishing elf..."

"Sorry, I don't think I can laugh at this joke..."

"Ah... Forget it." Cheng, who was disappointed in the moment, had to give up and admit his failure in joking. "Because of the blow, the wished elf gave up the girl and was ready to start the third attack..."

“…What’s that?”

"have no idea."

"Well..."

"Don't think so much... I'm going back. If you see you next time, let's continue talking, Baihe."

"Hmm? Why are you..."

Before the girl could finish her speech, Makoto had disappeared directly.

"Hey! No, can't it..."

[Signed uniforms are really convenient...]

In fact, Cheng, who was only 20 meters away, thought so.

...

"Why do you think, why? How do you feel?" (What do you think? Where do you look at? I wonder what you feel in your heart at this moment?)

"...Brother, you are very interested, listen to music in the room."

After opening the door, Shiki commented on Toono Makoto who was listening quietly in the house.

"Maybe." After seeing Shigui, Makoto turned off the music and looked at him.

"That... If you're waiting for me to have dinner, I've already eaten outside."

"Really, have you abandoned your brother so quickly?" Although he said so, Cheng was not surprised at all.

"...I just happened to make friends." Shigui sat in his seat with a slightly silent expression.

“…”

"Brother..."

"Ask."

"if…"

After saying two meaningless words, Shigui suddenly leaned against the wall with a pale face.

"Are you anemia again?" Makoto grabbed his shoulder before he fell down. "Is it really anemia? It's strange every time you see something happening to you."
