I'm putting on a vest

After getting off the plane, Akashi boarded the driver's car and went all the way to school.

After entering the school gate, he found that the atmosphere in the school was not right.

The crowd gathered faintly in one direction.He saw Midorima walking in the same direction.

Midorima also saw Akashi, he didn't stop, just said "Come on."

Akashi followed Midorima, his footsteps became faster and faster, and Akashi already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

There is a downhill road next to the school, and below the slope is the sea across a guardrail. Standing on a high place, Akashi can see the sparkling waves on the sea.

From this height, the size of a human being is like a toy, and he saw Elliot's unmissable figure, the bicycle creaking under her, almost overwhelmed by excessive acceleration.

The bicycle went down the slope all the way, and in the end it was not her stepping on the pedals, but simply rushing down along the gravity.

There was no road in front of him, only a guardrail separating the land from the sea, but Elliot had no intention of turning when he rode to the end.

Her eyes stared straight ahead.

"Wait, wait a minute."

"Bang".The front wheel of the bicycle hit the guardrail.

The guardrail shrank, the bicycle tilted upwards, and after following the frame around for a circle, Elliot flew in the air.

The long water-blue hair fluttered with the wind, and the luminous particles seemed to be blown all the way to the moon by the wind, and tiny spots of light appeared in front of Akashi's eyes.

"..."

For a moment, he did meet her eyes.

Under everyone's gaze, after stagnating at the top for a second, following the gravity, the alien vine and Elio, who could not fly, fell down.

"...what happened today?" Akashi asked.

Why did she rush to the sea on her bicycle?

"Fujikazu is particularly proud today." Midorima said.

"She got into a fight with a girl. It's the girl who poured water last time."

"The girl suddenly mentioned something, Tenghe stood up all of a sudden, said that I can fly, and then ran out."

"...on the way to class?"

"On the way to class." Midorima said.

"But now it doesn't matter whether you have classes or not."

Midorima looked at the damaged guardrail in the distance, and around the guardrail, the students onlookers were still standing there.

It's like watching an overly grand movie, and the audience is still sitting in their seats for a long time after the show is over.

Their eyes stayed there as always, staying in the sky above the sea, even now when Elio was taken away by the ambulance

"...didn't she fly at the end?"

Midorima, who had witnessed everything, asked Akashi instead.It seems that he is still unwilling to accept this reality.

"No." Akashi said.

"Slightly broken arm... Well, falling from such a high height only suffered such a small injury, which is considered pretty good."

"It seems that the gods are also blessing you."

The doctor in front of him made a joke, but the atmosphere in the room didn't liven up because of it.

The girl lowered her head as if she didn't hear anything, the hair hanging on her shoulders was connected into several strands because of the humidity, and the water dripped continuously from the tip of her hair.

Those drops of water wet the floor, and there seemed to be spots of light around her that were no longer flying.

The golden boy beside him looked at her with very worried eyes, before the doctor coughed in embarrassment, he smiled apologetically.

"Thank you... Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"Let's stay in the hospital for a while and observe." The doctor said.

Logically speaking, this should not be necessary, but Kise Ryota, who is the patient's family member, thinks it would be better to deal with it this way, because it would be too cruel to ask the current Elliot to go back to school.

Kise Ryota was not able to stop all of this.He knew it was too late when Elliot pulled out the red and white alien bike.

She wants to prove that she must be able to fly, even if she appears on the beach again, she can still be above the surface of the sea.For her, a bicycle is a run-up tool, which is the same as the principle that an airplane slides on a track for a period of time before flying.

When Elliot fell, Kise Ryota closed her eyes.

Then he ran.

It is summer now, the sea water is not as cold as it was in January, and the warmth scrapes the surface of the skin.When he arrived, she was sitting paralyzed on the sea, the water soaked to her waist, and the skirt floated like a jellyfish.

Elliot's left arm twisted in an impossible arc, red blood seeped from the joint into the white sleeve, she must be rushed to the hospital, but Kise didn't dare to approach her.

He saw Elliot's expression.

As if the whole life has been denied, a blank expression.

"…I understand."

Yukimura Seiichi hung up on the boy.

The boy met not long ago, his name seems to be Kise Ryota, he is a confident boy who can shine, but when he is with Elliot, he always feels uneasy.

After he hung up the phone, he went to the inpatient building.

This is the second time I saw her in the hospital, and the time interval is surprisingly short. Even the bad girls from Ikebukuro don't have to be hospitalized so frequently.

Unlike the building in Yukimura, this ward does not have such strict restrictions on visitors. Even so, he, who was also wearing a hospital uniform, still encountered strange eyes when he entered.

what happened?Is it popular to visit the sick room?

Yukimura Seiichi stood outside the door and took a deep breath.

"..."

He knocked on the door of the ward, and without waiting for a response from the people inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

The ward was quiet. The weather was clear today, and the sun shone through the open curtains without hindrance.

There is an ancient book on the small table next to the hospital bed. The gold-plated name on the cover of the book exudes a beautiful color like molten gold under the light. There are large flowers in the vase next to it. The dewdrops on it are shining and slide into the vase along the petals. middle.

But none of this made the main body of the room—the girl sitting on the hospital bed look a little more cheerful.

Her expression was not so much unhappy as it was indifferent. When she saw Yukimura Seiichi, she didn't ignore him like before, but turned her gaze away from the sky outside the window and stared at him calmly.

The subject of her observation changed from the blue sky to a real human being, and her eyes became darker because they reflected his figure.

Then she blinked her eyes slowly.

"I am. Can I fly?" she asked him.

This is the second time she has asked this question.Seiichi Yukimura said 'yes' when he was on the beach, and now he's silent.

Her arm in a cast is the answer to that question.

Riding a bicycle from the slope into the sea, the vine and Elio who could not overcome the gravity fell heavily, and the bone in the arm on the side that hit the ground first made a fragile 'click' sound, together with her dream of aliens Declare obsolete.

"..."

She stared at him.

one second.two seconds.three seconds.

The question has not been answered for a long time.

Her eyes were getting darker.

Finally, she shrunk her body into the bed like a bug, pulled up the quilt to cover the lower half of her face, only revealing a pair of eyes—those eyes were devoid of any expression, not for observation, but pure Just a decoration—to him.

"go out."

The girl's voice reached Yukimura Seiichi's ears through the bedding and the disinfectant-scented air in the ward.

"I..." He held out his hand to her.

"go out."

That day Goto and Elliot wrapped themselves in quilts, and walked in the outside world with their upper body wrapped in quilts and only two legs exposed.

The bicycle was retrieved from the sea by someone during the hospitalization, but it was rusty due to water ingress and no one cleaned it for a long time, and it is still lying in the garage of the rattan and family, covered with dust and spiders net.

She never rushed to the sea on a bicycle again, but as if trying to be brave, Fujika insisted that she was an alien, and her words and deeds became more and more strange.

A month later, she dropped out of school.
