About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Chapter 200 In the snowy sky, Sakakihara Raku entered the dreamland of Qimingyue (2)

rain.

Continuously and softly hitting the black brim of the old-fashioned building, like old glass marbles, raindrops fell from the eaves.The corridor leading out of the living room is enveloped in a soft and hazy rainy atmosphere.The sky exudes the breath of plum rain, and all plants are surprisingly green in the humid air.

[I] seemed to be looking up at the light rain, my legs were shaking unconsciously on the edge of the porch.

Wet stones, wet moss, swaying green trees, wind chimes on the brim of a hat.
Such a picture came into view.

Jingle bell~~
The two wind chimes that seemed to come from the depths of the soul made Sakakibara wake up suddenly.

This voice—

He was totally impressed.

[Myself], started to move.

Immediately afterwards, the angle of view slowly shifted to the crisp wind chime under the brim of the hat like a movie camera.

[Myself], is staring quietly.

"Ale, go and help me get the lighter."

The sound of rattan chair shaking creaked aside, accompanied by the commanding tone of the man.

"it is good."

The angle of view suddenly changed, [I] slowly propped up my body, and after glancing at the man lying on the rattan chair, I turned around and walked into the living room.

[Self] opened the drawer and started rummaging through it for something.

Sakakihara Raku's perspective was shaking, obviously he didn't make any movement, but his slightly immature hand found an old pulley lighter from the drawer as if with a clear purpose.

What a wonderful experience.

"Ale, did you find it?"

"found it."

"Well, bring it here."

[Myself] walked back again, and handed the lighter in his hand to the lazy man lying on the rattan chair with a cigarette in his mouth.

With a zip, the man's fingers slid the pulley of the lighter, sparks came out, and he lit the cigarette.

"A Le, do you know that Dad is unemployed, if you don't go to work, you and your sister will have nothing to eat."

The man swallowed the clouds with a melancholy face, and told [himself] about the recent move.

These are all grown-up things.

Sakakihara Raku knew about it and didn't want to hear it.

He is even more curious about his state now.

Is this the world in the dream?

According to the familiar and unfamiliar surroundings, I should be in my hometown when I was a child.

The man on the wicker chair in front of him is the bastard father who will run away in the future.

And he couldn't control [himself].

It's like the first perspective when playing a game, watching [myself] reproduce the memory track of the past.

This should be something that happened when I was a child, right?

Seeing the old man who was about to forget his appearance talking about the old things that he was about to forget, Sakakibara felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

He didn't expect that seeing this person again after many years would be in Qi Mingyue's dream.

Really ironic.

but.

Isn't this Qi Mingyue's dream?

Since it was Qi Mingyue's dream, why was she still here?

Qi Mingyue definitely has no memory of talking with her father alone.

Taking advantage of the boring gap between Dad and [myself] chatting.

Sakakihara found the item details of [Dream Corridor] again.

In Regulation 334, the Dream Link Instructions are found.

[334. If the dreamer and the dreamer have memories of the same period of time, then the dreamer will automatically enter the same identity in the dreamer's memory.At the same time, the dream environment will be created by the memory of the dreamer]
This statement is a bit of a mouthful.

Briefly explain.

It is the current dream, which is equivalent to a dream space built based on the memories of two people.

During this period of time, Sakakihara and Tianhai Qimingyue were respectively substituted into their childhood selves.

As for why there is no Qimingyue yet?
Sakakihara guessed that the timeline of this world has not reached the time when the two meet.

Qi Mingyue should still recall her own affairs now.

In her memory, the person "Sakakihara" has not yet appeared.

How does it feel like playing an online game?

Sakakihara was a little depressed.

The most important thing is that I can't move yet, it's just like watching a movie.

But that's fine too.

Anyway, I don't remember anything, watching a "movie" from my childhood can be regarded as reminiscing about the past.

The bastard father complained for a while on the rattan chair that his grandparents didn't want him to move out of his hometown, and then waved [Sakakihara Le] away.

Obviously, he was not interested in a seven-year-old kid, and he didn't expect him to help him solve things at all.

He just used his son as a venting bucket for his complaints.

It's best to listen, and if you don't listen, just give a lecture.

After a few minutes, a little girl with a ponytail suddenly ran over from outside.

"Brother, brother!"

Sakakihara smiled when he saw her.

Of course, because he couldn't control himself when he was a child, he only smiled in his heart.

Sakakibara Rin, the five-year-old little Sakakibara Rin ran over crying.

As soon as she got home, she told [Sakakihara Raku] that someone was bullying her.

"Who?"

"A skinny monkey who sells snacks, and a fat man who sells oranges."

It can be said that Sakakihara Ling cried to herself as soon as she came back, feeling wronged, tearful and pitiful, holding two broken bamboos in her hands.

"Varied--"

"You little girl ran out to play again in the rain?"

Hearing the sound of his daughter crying and holding a cigarette between his fingers, the father looked back and saw Suzu Sakakibara who was drenched in a little rain. He, who was already suffocated because of being laid off, started to attack his daughter. angry.

Sakakibara Suzu was already very afraid of her father, but when she heard him yelling at her, she became even more sad, and couldn't stop crying.

"Crying again?! Still crying, if crying can solve the problem, I don't have to be so annoying!"

"Dad, don't talk about Ah Ling like that, she's still young."

"You too, brat! If I hadn't paid for you—forget it."

The father felt upset when he saw his daughter like this, he was naughty and disobedient, and impatiently beckoned his son to take her to cry elsewhere.

"Go, go, go."

Sakakibara Suzu stood behind her brother, she couldn't stop her tears even though she was young, she kept wiping her tears with her elbow clothes.And because she was afraid that her father would talk about her again, she tried her best not to cry, and only dared to wipe her tears with her hands.

Alas, as a bystander, Raku Sakakibara couldn't help but feel distressed seeing these memories that were so long forgotten.

Fortunately, [Sakakihara Le] also felt very sorry for this sister, and kept using words to comfort her.

After the father waved his hands twice, he took her out of here.Along the veranda around the house, the two came to the other side of the yard.

[Sakakihara Raku] asked her exactly what happened.

Sakakihara Suzu tried hard to hold back her sobbing tears, and showed him the two bamboos held by her dirty hands.

Sakakihara remembers this thing.

Isn't this a bamboo gun?
Put a wet paper towel in the bamboo, and then poke it in with a thinner bamboo, and there will be a "snap" when it is launched.

Hitting is quite painful.

Xiao Sakakihara bell cried and said: "They...they broke this one of mine and used their one...that one to beat me. There are so many of them, I, I can't beat them."

Hearing Ah Ling's milky voice, the long memory seemed to be refreshed.

By the way, it seems that when Ah Ling was a child, she didn't get along with the children in the two stores that sold oranges and snacks in the village.

Ah Ling always said that they bullied her.

It's bullying, but it's just children playing around.

Ah Ling is very competitive and cannot compare to them, that's why she said that.

But this time the other party seemed to be going too far. Ah Ling said that they beat her with bamboo guns and bullied her alone. She couldn't beat the bamboo guns of the two of them with one bamboo gun. The brat is against it.

She ran out of bullets and the other party chased her and beat her, and ran all the way home.

The bamboo gun made for her was trampled on while running.

They kept laughing that the bamboo gun her brother made for her was rubbish, very poor.

While Xiao Sakakihara Ling had nothing to do with them, she was so angry that she wanted to cry.

"I, me, woohoo, I said it's not rubbish anymore, they, they still say yours is me. Me."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, if something breaks, it breaks."

"But. But"

(This is childhood)
Seeing the crying little A-Ling, Sakakibara felt emotional and at the same time thought she was quite cute when she was a child.

"A Ling wants to be better than them?"

"Yeah. They are, too, too much." Sakakibara Rin cried, but nodded seriously.

"Okay, come out with me." [Sakakihara Raku] kept touching her head.

"Going out, what are you going out for? Brother, brother, aren't you afraid of being told by your father? It's raining outside."

"Let's do it secretly, just don't let him find out."

[Sakakihara Raku]'s smile made Sakakihara Suzu feel at ease. When she heard that her brother was going to take her out again, she wiped away her tears and kept nodding.

She followed her brother to the woodshed and watched him pick up the hatchet and a roll of tape in the toolbox.

The ignorant little Sakakihara Ling didn't know what her brother was going to do, but she knew that she just had to follow her brother.

My brother will give her delicious food and play with her. Even the bamboo gun just now is a toy my brother made for her.

"Come on, let's go out."

"All right."

Xiao Sakakihara Suzu followed Sakakihara Raku all the way to the door, stepped on the dirt road full of weeds, came to a hill near her home, and came to a clump of bamboo near the roadside.

[Sakakihara Raku] looked at the bamboo, selected it for a long while, then selected the target, and chopped off the tiny bamboo with a knife.

Osakakihara Suzu probably knew what he was going to do.By this time her sobbing had gradually improved.

"Brother, do you want another one?"

"of course."

"But, but that way I still can't beat the two of them."

"Don't worry." [Sakakihara Raku] waved the hatchet to cut off the bamboo, and spoke to make her sister feel relieved.

The plum rain is fine, and the chopped bamboo rustles above the head.

[Sakakihara Raku] First cut off a section of small bamboo, and then select a section of smaller bamboo as the firing pin for the bamboo gun.The firing pin poked into the barrel of the gun and tried it.

The size doesn't quite work.

[Sakakihara Raku] guessed that the size of the bamboo did not match, so I cut a few more in a row, compared them carefully, and compressed the progress of the bamboo gun to the limit as much as possible.

After cutting five pieces of bamboo, the bamboo barrel gun with the firing pin and the barrel fit perfectly.

It looks like a very delicate gadget.

He took out a napkin from his pocket, dipped it in some rainwater from puddles on the side of the road, and stuffed it into the bamboo gun to test its power.

The sound of "啪!" was quite powerful.

Xiao Sakakihara has played with the bamboo gun a lot, she can hear the sound, and she can see that the one made by her brother is much more powerful than before.

Her eyes light up.

[Sakakihara Raku] It can be seen that Sakakihara Ryu wants it very much.

"Don't worry, I'll modify it for you."

Osakakihara Suzu didn't understand anything, so she just nodded.

[Sakakihara Raku] used a knife to cut a rectangular hole in the barrel of the bamboo gun, and then picked a larger No. [-] bamboo and hollowed out both sides.

Then, push the No. [-] bamboo vertically into the bamboo barrel so that it nests in the hole of the bamboo barrel, forming a cross shape.

In this way, a bamboo barrel gun with a clip can achieve a small amount.

Sakakihara Raku squeezed several wet paper towel ammunition into the bamboo magazine at the top, and pushed the firing pin back and forth several times.

"clap clap"

At this time, the bamboo tube gun did not make a "snap", but several times in succession.

Xiao Sakakibara bell was staring at the gadgets her brother made for herself.

"Okay. You can send consecutive shots."

"Wait a little longer, I'll tie it up for you."

[Sakakihara Raku] Use the plastic tape at home to fasten the fitted bursting bamboo guns back and forth with three layers inside and three layers outside by means of criss-cross binding.

After confirming that it was secure, he handed the toy that was half the length of little Ah Ling's hand to her.

"Okay, let's take it."

Osakakibara Suzu received this "magic weapon" from her brother as if she had received the Holy Grail.

She looked at this extremely delicate looking bamboo gun with a curious look on her face.

"Do you know how to use it?"

"Well, put bullets on it!"

"Smart, but you have to prepare the bullets in advance. It's best to use that kind of small fruit. As long as someone bullies you with a bamboo gun, you can use this to deal with him."

Osakakihara Ling nodded again and again, eager to try, the previous tears were gone.

"However," [Sakakihara Raku] said seriously to Xiao Sakakihara Ling, "Don't hit other people's faces with this, you know? You can just hit your stomach or hands. If you don't obey, I'll take this for you came back."

"I, I see, thank you brother."

[Sakakihara Raku] smiled and touched her sister's head again, "Okay, let's go out and play, the rain is less now, so be careful."

"Hmm."

Xiao Sakakihara Ling couldn't wait. Although she was young, she knew that the thing her brother made for herself was much better than theirs!

The man selling oranges, and the man selling snacks, if he knows that he can post in succession, he must be envious of himself!
"Remember."

"it is good."

[Sakakihara Raku] smiled and watched her younger sister jogging down the hill happily.

At the same time, Sakakihara Raku, who witnessed the incident from the first perspective, was also filled with emotion.

Burst of bamboo guns.

Holding this thing, A Ling must become the king of the kids among those little brats, right?
What a nostalgic little thing.

The camera continues to follow [self] movement.

[Myself] walked down the mountain, and went back home along the narrow field ridge where the rice paddies intersected.

The rainy season is still falling, although it is very small, but after staying under the rain for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be layers of tiny raindrops on the head.

[Myself] is carrying the hatchet used for chopping firewood at home, and seems to have the habit of admiring the scenery when walking, occasionally turning his head to observe the road lane parallel to the field ridge.

A car passed the country station across the field, its tires rattling in the rain.

The rainy season makes the dark sky heavy, which also makes the surrounding scenery dark.The wind in the rainy season continued to press down on the tender green straw in the fields, which turned white one after another and rustled.

[Myself], suddenly stopped.

The perspective involuntarily turns to the little girl sitting alone at the country station.The conspicuous flaxen hair and the rain-wet light blue dress involuntarily attracted [myself] on the field ridge across the road.

The little girl's face was dim, and she looked indescribably lonely.

Just sitting alone, without shaking your legs or turning your head.

Sakakihara Raku also saw it.

He understands how [him] feel right now.

Curious - curious why she is here.

Curious why she is still sitting here alone in the rain.

[Myself] stood on the field ridge and looked at it for a while, probably because he wanted to care about it, he crossed the field ridge, crossed the road, and came to the station.

".Are you OK?"

In order not to make himself look like a bad person, [Sakakihara Raku] put his voice very lightly.

The little girl was not wary of him and didn't look up.Of course, he didn't speak either.

She is eccentric.

[Sakakihara Raku] thought so at the time.

Today's Sakakihara Raku thinks so too.

If I remember correctly, Qi Mingyue should only be five years old at this time.

A little girl about the same age as her own sister.

Why... she would show that calm expression with nothing?
[Sakakihara Raku] asked her twice more softly, and only then did the little girl respond.

She raised her face.

Asked the most common question.

"Who are you?"

Well, Sakakihara had to admit that even the young Miss Tianhai had a rather cold voice.

He continued to watch.

[Self] is answering:
"Who am I? Just call me happy. I live in the room opposite the field ridge. Let me show you. Here, that's where I live."

The little girl didn't look in the direction he pointed, but turned her sky blue eyes to see the hatchet and the unused roll of tape in his hand.

"Are you here to kidnap me?"

As expected of Miss Tianhai, she had such a personality in her childhood.

"If it is, I hope you hurry up."

Having said that, Sakakihara Le would actually show a sad expression when she saw such a young Qi Mingyue, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Perspective continues.

"Of course not, I'm just curious why you are here."

"Well, here I am."

"?"

"Kidnap me quickly."

Saying so, the little girl offered him her arms with their wrists together.

it's wired.

"I'm not here to kidnap you. I'm holding a hatchet because I chopped bamboo just now."

"Yes, that's a pity." The little girl put down her hands and continued to lower her head. After being quiet for a while, she raised her eyes and asked again, "Why are you talking to me?"

"You're here alone on a rainy day, and you're all wet, no one will care."

"That's right, but I've been sitting here for a long time, and my mother never came to see me." The little girl stared down at her wet skirt.

"how long have you been here?"

"...I don't know, I only know that it was raining heavily at that time."

"It's raining heavily? It's at least noon, but it's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and you've been sitting here all afternoon?!"

"Probably"

This place is near the sea, and it is a rural area in an island. Except for a car that only passes by for a long time, no one will pass by here in rainy days.

Alas, a little girl of five got caught in the rain and sat for hours on end at a country station.

Even now Sakakihara Raku can't help but ask after seeing it.

At that time [I] also thought so, after hearing the little girl's answer, I couldn't help frowning:
"I haven't seen you in the village, aren't you from the village?"

"My mother, my sister, and I are here to travel."

"Travel. Oh, so you're staying at the Clement Hotel? It's only been repaired for a while."

"It seems to be the name."

"It's not too far away."

The little girl didn't speak anymore, she seemed to like being alone like herself.

[Sakakihara Raku] saw her wet little skirt.

"You'll catch a cold like this."

"Ah."

"...a cold can be hard."

"Ah."

".You, do you understand what it means to have a cold?"

"Ah."

From the perspective of watching a movie, Sakakihara watched Xiao Qiyue reply three "hmm" in a row under [himself]'s questioning, and couldn't help but lament the eccentric character of Miss Tianhai when she was a child.

"Where is your home? Want to go home?"

"I want to wait for my mother to come to me."

".But you waited from morning to noon to now."

(Aunt. Well, no matter how bad my aunt is, she wouldn't leave five-year-old Qi Mingyue here like this!)
"Ah."

Still "hmm."

This proves that what he said doesn't make any sense now.

"The rain is a little lighter now, maybe... you can try to walk back to the hotel first?"

"I'm going to wait for mom, mom. She should come to me."

"Would you like to follow me first?"

"."

Xiao Qi Mingyue didn't answer, she was too stubborn to listen to what he said.

She seemed reluctant.

This is also normal, for her, the current [self] is just a strange peer.

How could there be a mother who came close.

He was a little worried about the little girl, but he didn't have any reason to take the little girl away. He probably thought in his heart that he would call her mother to pick her up after returning to the village.

[Sakakihara Raku] The stranger didn't stay here for too long, and turned away from the station.

Because this road is close to the sea, even though it is June, at night, the wind from the sea can still make people feel cold.

After walking for a while, the sea breeze blew over. Even though the clothes on his body were not soaked by the rain, the cold wind penetrated into his body, making him feel cold uncontrollably.

I am already so cold, and that little girl is all wet, how cold must it be?

Looking back again, the little girl with flaxen hair under the station was lowering her head at the moment, her body trembling in the cold rain and wind.

[Sakakihara Raku] looked very distressed:

"How about I take you to the village? Maybe your mother is looking for you in the village."

"You are back again, are you really going to kidnap me?"

"I really didn't mean that. You see, the village is on the other side of the road, so let's go there."

The little girl followed the direction he pointed and glanced.

She seemed to know that was where she came from.

"Ah."

"Still, don't want to?"

"You are a stranger."

"It's a good thing for you to be alert, but it's not a problem for you to sit here now. You will feel uncomfortable when you catch a cold later. Look, you are also very cold now."

Maybe it was because her body was too cold, and because she had been sitting for too long, the little girl couldn't stay here any longer.

"Come on, I'll take you there."

"I can't go."

"why?"

[榊原乐] Only then did I see obvious mud on her feet, and scars from a fall.

The knee was also injured, but it was blocked by the skirt, so I couldn't see it at the first time.

"It was the injury from falling on the mountain just now. I can't walk. It hurts a lot"

"A sprained foot?"

The sea breeze blew again. At this time, the little girl was obviously a little colder, and her drooping face turned pale.

Sakakihara Raku could see that there was a sign of a cold on her face.

"I'll carry you on my back."

This is the only way right now.

"Will you?"

".You won't carry me to jump into the sea, will you?"

"...how could there be such a strange idea."

"My sister said, you can't just trust the uncle outside."

".But I'm not an uncle, I'm an older brother, and you look as old as my younger sister."

"Yes. You are not blaming uncle."

The little girl nodded and said that after a few exchanges, she let go, although the reason for letting go was strange, but she did let [Sakakihara Raku] carry her on her back.

"Hands, you can try to hug my neck and hold it tighter."

"Ah."

"Just put your body on my back, relax, I won't take you to jump into the sea."

Her body is small and her arms are soft, with the unique lightness of a little girl.

It's not too hard to carry, but it's a little wet.

Although Sakakihara Raku couldn't feel the feeling in the dream, but as [himself], he personally experienced such a scene.

I still subconsciously imagine the feeling of carrying a wet little girl on my back.

"Sit still."

[Sakakihara Raku] walked on the side of the road with Xiao Qimingyue on his back, and started heading towards the village under the slight plum rain.

"it's wired."

"Strange something."

"Why didn't mom come to see me?"

But it should be due to being wet by rain for a long time, her body has been shaking, and her speech is even weaker than before.

Her face was pressed against [Sakakihara Raku]'s shoulder.

"Maybe she doesn't know you're gone? Or, she's looking for you in the village now."

"really?"

"Of course, there is no mother who doesn't care about her daughter. Your mother must be very anxious to find you."

These words seemed to reassure Xiao Qi Mingyue a little.

She put most of her strength on [Sakakihara Raku]'s back.

"What's your name?"

"Tianhai."

"Tianhai what?"

"Seven Bright Moons (Jerky Chinese)."

". Strange, you can also speak Chinese?"

"Well, because my mother said that my name is hard to spell in Japanese."

"Then what should I call you?"

"July. It's okay, that's what my mother calls me."

"Well, I'll call you July."

"Well, what's your brother's name?"

"As I said just now, Raku, the Raku of Kagura."

"Can't spell it."

"It's okay if you can't spell it, I can teach you, but you don't sleep, you will definitely catch a cold if you sleep."

"Well, I see. Isn't it uncomfortable for my brother to carry me behind his back?"

"It's okay, it's just a little wet."

"Ah."
