Fall in love after simulation

Rena Nakajima is seeking confirmation.

The morning sun shines on the south wall of the Sanatorium Building of Chikusa University Hospital. The white wall, which looks misty in the dark night, glows a mild orange in the morning light.

Nakajima Rena was sitting on the hospital bed, and beside the hospital bed was her father, Nakajima Hōhei.

"What's wrong? Miss Dad?" Nakajima Hinata smiled, his inner doubts not showing on his face.

In the early morning, his daughter suddenly sent him a message, asking him to come. When he woke up from his sleep, more than an hour had passed since the message was sent. He hurriedly asked for leave from the school and came to the hospital.

Usually, in the face of his not-so-bright jokes, his daughter would show a polite smile, but today that smile did not appear, which made him feel uneasy.

"Dad said in the past two days that the girl who suddenly got close to Nan Yuxi is called Ibuki Yuko?" Rena Nakajima looked at her father, she was verifying the information in the dream.

Hinata Nakajima was surprised at first, and then wondered where his daughter knew Yuko Ibuki's name. In the past two days, he has used "a second-grade girl" to refer to Ibuki Yuko, and he has never mentioned her name once. Her daughter has no friends, and it is impossible to hear about it from others.

He looked into his daughter's eyes, hoping to find emotional clues from them. Those eyes were quiet, like a deep pool, and all the turbulent waves were hidden under the calm water surface.

"Yes," he replied, "you know her?"

Rena Nakajima did not answer, she asked again: "Ibuki Yuko's mother, is she called Ibuki Honoka?"

"I don't know, I'll go back and use the school computer to check." Nakajima Hinata felt even more uneasy.

Rena Nakajima opened her mouth, ready to continue asking for names. What she saw from the dream, she doesn't know now, but will know many people in the future. She stopped talking because her father didn't know these people.

She changed some information in other fields.

"Next to the hospital, is there a park? There is only one swing in the park, and there is a 24-hour convenience store nearby."

"There is a park. When you were young, I wanted to take you to play. I don't know if there is a convenience store. I haven't passed by there for a long time."

"Has Dad ever been to Xiaodou Mountain?"

"Xiaodou Mountain? Is it the one next to it? I went there a long time ago."

"Is there a pavilion on it? There are iron fences on the edge of the cliff."

"There is a pavilion, but I don't have any impression of the iron fence. It may have been installed in these years."

"A hydrangea has no fragrance?"

"Yes."

"Dad said before, is the beautiful lake in Yoshida Town called Sora no Pond?"

"So it's called Kongzhichi? You said that, I have an impression, it's called that, I didn't expect you to remember it."

His daughter, who usually doesn't care about anything, asked so many weird questions at once today. Nakajima Hidehei's heart was full of waves. ship.

Rena Nakajima didn't ask any more questions, she already had the answer in her heart.

The movie in the dream is her future, the boy who broke into the ward, the garden, the park, Xiaodou Mountain, and Yoshida Town are all real things.

According to the future in the dream, the boy will come to her in a few days.

The long-distance joy and anticipation enveloped her, and she thought of the people floating on the summer sea basking in the sun on TV. Now, she is lying on the sea of ​​anticipation, enjoying the light called joy cast by the golden wheel of happiness.

The sea breeze and sunshine in her heart, but this peace is just a projection of the future from the present, a virtual image.

A slight wind blows into the virtual image, and soon turns into a storm, sweeping the white clouds, churning the sea surface, pumping the sea water into the air, and turning it into cold and majestic rain.

Will the boy really come to her side?

Rena Nakajima's quiet eyes rippled, and she thought of the question her husband asked in the VR glasses.

"If everything goes backwards, your memory is still there, back to the time when I hadn't gone to the hospital, but in that world line, I wouldn't necessarily choose you, do you think the memory of the future with me is a good thing ?”

Everything goes backwards.

Rena Nakajima looked at the familiar hospital bed beneath her, and at her father who was not yet old.

The memory is still there.

She recalled images from the dream movie.

The husband's first two short sentences seem to be a summary of the current situation and a prophecy.

Since the first two sentences are prophecy, will the latter one also be a prophecy?

I don't necessarily choose you.

She clutched her chest, feeling pain in her fragile heart, and the bright sun outside the window was particularly glaring.

"Rena?" Nakajima Hinata called her.

She turned her head to look at her anxious father.

"What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Nakajima Hinata looked towards the door of the ward.

He leaned forward, and as soon as his daughter nodded, he would rush out of the room and call the doctor.

"It's okay." Rena Nakajima put down her palm and shook her head.

The pain in the heart was only for a moment, and it subsided quickly, but the storm in the heart sea could not be eliminated for a long time.

Her brief answer could not reassure Hinata Nakajima, and the man asked his daughter carefully: "Did you dream about something? Or do you want something? No matter what, I will get it for you."

"I want Yuki." Rena Nakajima murmured.

"ah?!"

Her words startled Nakajima Hinata.

"Dad said you can get anything, right?" Rena Nakajima turned to look at her father and smiled.

"Don't play tricks on Dad." Nakajima Hinata looked at the smile on his daughter's face, and felt a little calmer.

He thought that when the girl said she wanted Nan Youxi, it was a euphemistic refutation of his boastful behavior.

Rena Nakajima did not explain, she said: "I dreamed of Yoshida Town."

"Is that so?" Nakajima Hinata's voice sank, and the last sound almost only rang out from his mouth.

He thought that if his daughter had dreamed of Yoshida Town, there would be a reasonable explanation for the strange words now.

When his daughter was young, her heart disease showed signs of improvement for a while. He and his wife took their daughter to Yoshida Town to watch the first snow in Sora no Pond. However, the daughter failed to wait for the first snow to fall. He hurried back to Misaki and was admitted to the hospital.

The wife, bitter about the suspension of the trip, became increasingly repulsed by her troublesome daughter, and divorced him shortly after her return.

The past Yoshida Town was not a happy place for my daughter, it was full of misfortune.

However, when he glanced at his daughter from the corner of his eye, he saw her smiling. Her half-closed eyes were brighter than anything he had seen before.

"It's so beautiful." Rena Nakajima sighed.

She recalled the scene in her dream, recalling that she and Nan Youxi were holding each other's hands, lying on the snow, and the fine snow stroked their cheeks. She looked out of the window, the blue sky and white clouds separated by the glass, like the empty pond after the first snow.

The conversation ended quickly. Nakajima Hōhei returned to school from the hospital, and his daughter's smile kept flashing in his mind. He was so upset that he couldn't figure out whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

There was no class for him in the afternoon, so he was in a daze for a long time in the office, and he woke up when the bell rang for the end of school.

He felt he had to do something, but he couldn't figure out what to do. It's like moving forward in a thick fog, knowing that you have to go forward, go forward, but where is the front?

He walked to the door of the class and stopped Nan Yuki who was caught between Yuko Ibuki and Kazumi Chiju.

"Nan, come to my office."
