"Fireworks show?"

May tilted her head.

"Aren't there more activities like this during the summer vacation? But now the summer is over."

Even the autumnal equinox has passed.

From her mindset, fireworks are something that only belongs to summer.If it is extended to early autumn, it seems that the taste will change a little bit.

"That's right. It's really a little strange to choose such a time, isn't it?"

Suzuka pulled out the plastic bag, shook it vigorously a few times, let the air expand the bag, and put the things in it slowly.

"However, this seems to be the last fireworks display this year. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next summer vacation... Ah, it is such a precious and rare opportunity, but I have no way to go with my boyfriend! How angry!"

And she still has a lot of homework that she hasn't finished in time, so she doesn't have time even if she wants to watch the fireworks show.

The more Suzuka thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't calm down, even the action of putting things was tinged with resentment.

May was instantly alert, and now it was her turn to gossip.

Leaning halfway against the cash register, Wuyue smirked a few times like a good thing, and deliberately put on an innocent expression of ignorance-innocence is of course fake, but ignorance is too real to be true.

"When did you have a boyfriend? I haven't heard of it at all. Give me Kangkang what he looks like!"

"Well... not long ago. Probably during the summer vacation? But I don't have a single photo of him here."

"All right……"

This was an unexpected and frustrating answer, which made Wu Yue want to sigh after hearing this, and along with it, even wanted to continue gossip.

"I don't seem to have heard you mention your boyfriend?"

"Because I just confirmed my relationship, my boyfriend left. He...he went back to his hometown."

The flames of gossip were slightly ignited.Wu Yue stood up straight and muttered solemnly: "Are you in a long-distance relationship?"

"Huh?" After thinking for a while, Suzuka nodded hesitantly, "That's right."

Strictly speaking, the distance between her and her boyfriend does not seem to be defined by a long-distance relationship. It would be very troublesome to explain, so it is better to simply define it as a long-distance relationship.

Listening to Suzuka's words, Wu Yue almost died of distress.She pinched Suzuka's face lightly, and sighed softly: "It's actually a long-distance relationship, it's not easy for you."

"That's right."

Although they were not talking about the same thing, this did not prevent Suzuka from wanting to pour bitter water on her.

"I don't even know when my boyfriend will come back...Damn it! I miss him so much! We went to watch the fireworks together before the summer vacation, and we want to go to watch together this time!"

"Miss Yagi, why do you emit a sour smell of love?"

"Is it sour? Nope. All I have here is the sad smell of an empty-nester girlfriend."

Suzuka said in a good reading tone, put the bag full of snacks into Wuyue's hand, and did not forget to put on a standard eight-teeth grin.She didn't seem to be complaining about the pain of a long-distance relationship—it was a bit of a show off, which made Wu Yue feel complicated.

With a creak, the door to the staff lounge opened a small crack, and an angry question came out of the gap.

"Yagi! Are you being lazy!"

Suzuka was completely taken aback, and quickly said, "I'm sorry! I will work hard!"

After apologizing, she closed the door consciously, then tiptoed back to the cash register, and smiled apologetically at May.

"I won't bother you anymore, get on with your work. Bye - stop fishing!"

After dropping these words, Wuyue quickly slipped away without even turning her head, completely leaving the winking Suzuka behind.

Walking on the sidewalk, you can see the steel cable bridge across the river from the gap between the buildings.May stared at the bridge for a long time, then looked around again.

I don't know if you can see fireworks from the balcony of the apartment?She thinks it should be possible, but it's not the best viewing position, after all, the apartment is still a little far away from the steel cable bridge.

"Mr. Yiyong." She tugged at Yiyong's sleeve, "Want to watch the fireworks?"

"What kind of thing is that?"

"Isn't there a pattern on the poster?"

Yiyong still remembers the pattern - the flower of fire that blooms in the dark night.He also knew about fireworks, he had heard of them before, but he had no chance to see them himself.And the pattern on the poster is just a pattern after all. Although he saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, Yiyong still didn't have a clear concept, and he couldn't imagine what that thing looked like.

May leaned forward slightly, looking at his expression.

"Then let's go and see. Shall we?"

As if reading his mind, she said.

"Look at what?"

"Fireworks. Otherwise, what else is there?" Wu Yue couldn't help laughing, poked his arm lightly, and said pretending to complain, "Why are you so slow."

"Itch. Don't make trouble." Yiyong grabbed Wuyue's mischievous hand aside, and defended himself, "I just didn't react right away."

"Alright alright."

Since I have already said so, then she will stop talking about it.

Walking along the familiar road, it was almost evening when I got home.If I make a detour to the supermarket to buy vegetables halfway, I think I won't be able to get home until dark.

However, because Master Chef May is very lazy today, he doesn't want to open the pot at all, so they can come back early.

"After the autumnal equinox, the sky is getting darker and faster."

May sighed and drew the curtains.

The room instantly became darker.Yi Yong pressed the switch of the wall lamp and said, "When it's deep winter, the days are so short that they seem to pass in the blink of an eye."

"In this way, it should be quite troublesome to fight against evil spirits in winter, right? The night is so long, it is difficult to delay fighting with ghosts until dawn, and let the sun end the battle. And because it is cold, I also wear thick clothes, so it is inevitable to move It gets stiff, doesn't it?"

May guessed nonsensically.She felt that what she said was nonsense, but it was all on point.

"These are indeed the troubles you will encounter in winter." Yi Yong replied, "Compared with other seasons, winter is always a little more difficult..."

The cold air will always accidentally paralyze the spirit.

"Yes...is it..."

Wu Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed that what he said in his nonsense was actually the truth.She lowered her head and poured out the contents of the bag.

It suddenly occurred to her that the winter of Taizheng was coming soon—she would soon face a difficult winter.

"I want to kill that ghost before winter..."

Talking to herself in a low voice, she inadvertently revealed her feelings.

But "wanting" is, after all, just an illusion.Wu Yue didn't know what he would face after returning to Taisho, and he had no clue about it.All she can do is to try her best to think about all kinds of possible situations.

It was exactly the hour, and the central station routinely released the hourly news.Yiyong took it seriously, but May didn't care.

Her thinking has gone beyond the distant Taisho and Oni, and returned to the current matter.She was thinking about one thing - how should she tell Giyuu that today's dinner is leftover rice balls from lunch.

Originally, today's dinner should be a takeaway.Although I haven't had time to seriously consider what kind of takeaway to order in May, but it definitely won't be such a bad thing as rice balls!

Besides, there are so many rice balls left for lunch, this result has completely deviated from the original plan.

Tsk... so embarrassing...

Wuyue took a long time to put the rice balls on the plate, and the balance in her heart was "it is reasonable to order takeaway for dinner" on one side, and "wasting food is a sin" on the other.The scales are wobbly, and neither side is willing to compromise easily, which almost drives May crazy.She stared at the rice balls on the plate, trying hard to stabilize the scales.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and took a rice ball from the plate.

"Why are you standing there?"

Giyuu took a big bite of the rice ball and asked her inarticulately.

Libra was knocked over with a punch.

"Uh..." May shook his head frantically, "It's nothing, nothing..."

Now she just thinks that she is a bit stupid for messing around.

Very leisurely at night.Wu Yue dug out two boxes of puzzles, it was boring to compare with Yi Yong who could spell faster.

Although there was no bet, Wuyue still showed [-]% fighting spirit, but lost to Yiyong, which made her very upset.

This feeling of embarrassment lasted until she lay down on the bed and did not disappear.

When you close your eyes, there is darkness, and when you open your eyes, it is still darkness.Wuyue curled up, unable to sleep, and unwilling to sleep.

The second hand clicked away.May counts every second that passes.

She counted a large number, but when Giyuu called out to her, she suddenly forgot where she had counted.

"Can't you sleep tonight?"

"Hmm..." Wu Yue curled up her body even tighter, and whispered, "I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"

"No. I just haven't fallen asleep." After a pause, Yi Yong said, "Are you scared by that crocodile and can't fall asleep?"

Wu Yue chuckled: "How could that be... But when you say that, it seems like you were frightened by that crocodile yourself."

Yiyong was taken aback for a moment, and then he denied it righteously: "...I didn't!"

Ah.

Will he admit that he was so scared by a crocodile that he couldn't sleep at night, and when he closed his eyes, he would recall that bloody mouth?

Won't!impossible!

"It's good that you don't get scared." She muttered, "Then go to sleep."

Yiyong didn't answer.

"Have you had a good time today?"

"Um……?"

This is really an unexpected question, Wu Yue was unconsciously stunned.

"I am very happy. I met my friends when I came back, so I am even happier... It is always very happy to have someone by my side." Here—back to Heisei—I’m sure I can’t calm down. Maybe I’m going crazy, worrying about this and that, I don’t care about anything about Heisei, I just want to go back. But with you here... I feel like I can calm down."

Perhaps because Giyuu is a very calm person, she has unknowingly acquired this trait.

"However, I'm really sorry for accidentally involving you in this matter. I will try my best not to affect you too much."

"It's ok."

It wouldn't hurt to have more influence, he thought.

The car that got in the way stopped again downstairs.The light from the headlights shone into the room through the curtains, casting a hazy light on the apartment.Yiyong sat up, looked at Wuyue curled up in a small ball on the bed, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak.

All he could do was pat her head lightly.

"Go to sleep," he said.

May didn't respond.She seemed to be asleep, but Giyuu could feel her shivering as she curled up.Vaguely, she could hear her deliberately suppressed heavy breathing.

"I can't sleep at all - because I remembered, the deepest memory."

The beginning of the trajectory of life, everything related to the family.These old memories surfaced at night and disappeared at night, but they would only stay in her heart.

"...May I tell you? Can I tell you?"

"Ah."

Giyuu stood up.He lit the lamp, and the warm white light dispelled all the darkness.

"I'll listen carefully."

He said.
