[Main tutor] Sorry, I made a mistake!

Sawada Tsunayoshi said that she didn't trust him.

At that time, his tone was calm, but sadness and disappointment came out from under the forced smile, and the pale light poured down, covering his brown hair, lips, and fingertips without warmth...Loneliness and tiredness overlapped and accumulated, and he was challenged. The open truth mocked silently in the air.

Half a year had passed since that quarrel, and on this sunny afternoon, Suzumiya Nai finally had the courage to admit that the boy was right.

She is insecure.She couldn't get enough sense of security from Sawada Tsunayoshi—no, she couldn't get enough sense of security from anyone. She had to hold her fate in her own hands to feel at ease.

Suzumiya Nai is not the kind of person who will obediently stay behind and be protected by others. What she trusts most is always the sword in her hand.

If to love someone is to trust completely, to put everything about oneself in the hands of the other person, Suzumiya knows, then she will probably not be able to pass the homework of love in her whole life.

One of the most successful things her mother taught her in her life is to rely on herself for everything.

She can die for Sawada Tsunayoshi, but she can't bet her dignity and freedom on him.

Suzumiya Nana can't be a princess, she can only be a knight wielding a sword.

For yourself, for others, swing the sword.This is the meaning of her existence.

Not only will this sword slay enemies, it will sometimes stab those she loves, and perhaps one day she will die under its cold blade.

Knowing that it was a flaw, Suzumiya could only embrace it tightly.Because for countless days in the past, she has been so dependent on it, supporting each other to walk through thorns and bone spurs.

Get stronger, get stronger.

Until whether you are alone or not, you can live well.

……

"Why take it so seriously? Well, relax your shoulders! It's because your shoulders are tense that you're looking at things like this. Just relax, and your body will become more relaxed."

"...Why do you say this?"

"..."

"Why? 'Relaxing the shoulders makes the body lighter', I know that too. But it doesn't help at all when you say it from your mouth! Well, don't you think? If I relax the shoulders now, it will all of a sudden Falling apart. This is how I survived before, and this is the only way I can live in the future. Once I relax, it will be irreparable. I will fall apart - blown away piece by piece. Why don't you understand that ? Why do you still say take care of me?"

Suzumiya Nana listened intently to the conversation on the radio, when someone passed by kicked the shopping bag at her feet, the perpetrator quickly apologized, Suzumiya Na subconsciously replied "It's okay", her eyes were still glued to the black radio.

But she never had a chance to hear the following, because someone picked up the radio suddenly, fiddled with the FM knob for a while, and then asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this?"

The continuation of the story was cut off, and Suzumiya Nai was not without disappointment. She paused, squatted down | and was about to pick up the shopping bag, but the bag was taken away first.

Suzumiya was startled, looked up, and a smiling face came into view.

"...You're here." Suzumiya calmed down and smiled, "I got something? What is it?"

The smile faded away, a trace of helplessness flashed across the brown-haired boy's face, and he took out something from his pocket.

……

——This afternoon, Sawada Tsunayoshi and Suzumiya Mina skipped class to go on a date for the first time in their lives, and the last place they went to was the biggest supermarket in Nishimori.

Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, the two walked through every corner of the supermarket hand in hand, reading reviews all the way, and the shopping cart was so full that it couldn't fit in the middle, so I had to reluctantly take some of them away... But at the end of the checkout In front of the stage, Suzumiya threw the whole car aside and only took three bags of yogurt and two bottles of juice.

"Buying so many, I have to carry them home later, which is troublesome," she said.

Sawada Tsunayoshi felt that it was a pity to give up the things that had been picked out all afternoon.

"No, I'm too lazy to take it, so don't take it either, we have to go to the next place to play." Suzumiya Nai's attitude was firm.

The young man still looked reluctant, Suzumiya pursed his lips and thought for a while, then leaned over and found a box of shampoo set from the shopping cart, "Then I want this, the shopping guide lady said to buy this with a gift now."

"..."

So 10 minutes later, Suzumiya Nai was waiting by the electrical counter outside the supermarket with a shopping bag, and Tsunayoshi Sawada was in charge of taking the shopping receipt to the service desk to receive the so-called "mysterious gift package".

It turned out that it was just a bag of four strawberry flavored bubble gum.

At least something that can be kept for a long time... Sawada Tsunayoshi clearly wrote "So sorry" on his face, but Suzumiya Nana didn't care. He tore open the outer package and took out two. One was eaten by himself, and the other was delivered The other party's mouth.

"Are you alone just now, bored?" As the two walked side by side towards the entrance of the building, Sawada Tsunayoshi asked casually.

"Fortunately, I heard a very interesting story."

"Story? . . . on the radio?"

"Ah."

"what name?"

"Norwegian Forest." Suzumiya Nai tilted her head slightly, staring at him with dark eyes, "Have you heard it?"

"No." A ray of doubt appeared in Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes, "Famous?"

"... I guess." In my world, it was very famous.

Subtly, after these words, both of them fell silent at the same time.

With the exit right in front of her eyes, Suzumiya Nana took a light step forward and formally stepped out of the seven-story building.

The streets are full of traffic, and the scorching sun at noon has already slanted to the west. At this moment, it is lazily hanging in the sky, and the orange sunlight shines on people without pain or itching.

Absently chewing bubble gum, Suzumiya Nai frowned secretly as she looked at the elementary school students walking in groups opposite her.Time flies so fast, it is already time to leave school.What's the time now? 05:30?six o'clock?

Habitually reaching for the cell phone in his pocket to check the time, his subordinates found nothing—Suzumiya Na then remembered that she left the cell phone at Sawada's house before going out in the morning.

So now she was all over, except for her clothes and shoes, only the ring hanging around her neck and a few banknotes in her trouser pocket.

"Hey, Nako." Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly said.

Suzumiya returned to her senses: "What?"

"Wait..." Tsunayoshi Sawada stared at a billboard in front of him, "Do you want to go to the movies?"

Suzumiya was slightly taken aback. "Is it a movie..."

After watching a movie, two hours have passed...

Tsunayoshi Sawada suddenly turned around, Suzumiya was caught off guard, and the hesitant struggle on his face was caught by the other party.

"What's wrong?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little surprised, "You..."

"Yo, Tsuna! Nako!" "Judaime!"

The sudden call made Sawada Tsunayoshi unable to express his doubts. Suzumiya Na looked over his shoulder and looked behind him, with a smile on his face, Sawada Tsunayoshi had no choice but to turn around.

"Yamamoto, Prison-kun."

Takeshi Yamamoto and Hayato Gokuji each carried a schoolbag, and each carried one in their hand, walking towards them happily.

Undoubtedly, the schoolbags in Lanshou and Yushou's hands belonged to Pengele Judaime and Suzumiya Nana respectively—the duo who skipped classes did not bring their schoolbags with them before the action.

As a token of gratitude, Suzumiya quickly sent out the last two pieces of strawberry bubble gum, and Tsunayoshi Sawada watched silently with melancholy eyes.

So, why don't gifts be something that can be kept longer...

A few minutes later, Tsunayoshi Sawada, who confirmed from Hayato Gokuji that "Shamar's sick note is very useful and the Disciplinary Team has been completely fooled", was completely relieved, patted Ranmori on the shoulder and praised him for his work. Ability; the person who was praised was immediately elated. When he learned that Judaime was going to watch a movie, he immediately volunteered to recommend science fiction movies. Every time he mentioned a movie, he enthusiastically listed its highlights. Takeshi Yamamoto listened with great interest, Interjecting a few sentences from time to time caused Arashi Shou to stare blankly and snark a few times, so Sawada Tsunayoshi had to step up to mediate, and the scene slowed down a bit... until the next time the war broke out, so repeated... Finally, Suzumiya Nana couldn't help but exercise Special voting rights for girls.

"Let's go see that." Suzumiya Nai pointed to a certain poster with a smile.

The three boys stopped talking and looked along her fingers together——

On the black-toned poster, the six blood-red characters of "Gayako no Ambition" stand out.

……

This date, since Takeshi Yamamoto and Hayato Gokudera met halfway, has been galloping towards a completely different path from Tsunayoshi Sawada's plan.

The meaningful "two people watching a movie together for the first time" has turned into a four-person friendship tour. Peng Lie's tenth generation said that he is not depressed is purely deceiving himself.However, when the movie ended, Suzumiya seemed to be in a happy mood, and Hayato Kikudera had been criticizing how the movie was "pseudoscience" with righteous indignation, which made everyone laugh, so Sawada Tsunayoshi slowly let go...

This result seems to be good.

Suzumiya bought everyone a bunch of takoyaki with the last thousand yen in her pocket.

"Suppressing you."

When the girl said this, she glanced at Hayato Gokuji intentionally or unintentionally, and managed to make the only guy whose face turned white from fright blow out during the whole movie.

The sound of protest and laughter was carried far in the street.Street lamps, neon lights on signboards, lights of cars whizzing by... Countless lights flashed through the field of vision one after another.

In the window, the artificial coral tree is shining under the spotlight, and a girl wearing a hairpin walks past the window, and the crystal hairpin and the coral tree reflect each other from a distance.

The city center of Bingsheng at night seems to have fallen into a huge mirage, and everything flickers between nothingness and reality.

The Roman clock in the bell tower struck eight.300 meters outside the tower, Suzumiya Nana, who was eating the second steak, paused slightly with the knife in her hand, and then continued.

Soon, the four walked out of the restaurant.

Hayato said he couldn't eat anymore, Suzumiya drank the last bag of yogurt silently, and threw the empty bag into the recyclable trash bin, Takeshi Yamamoto said that it was late and he had to go home to help his father clean up the store, Tsunayoshi Sawada No objection.So the four-person swim ended here, and everyone looked relaxed.

So far everything is so sunny and beautiful, if it is not for Takeshi Yamamoto’s move, Sawada Tsunayoshi will be able to happily leave with his girlfriend, and by the way, give this unplanned foursome a high score of 85 in his heart, and then start Looking forward to a real date on Saturday, and finally, when I was most caught off guard, I received a fatal blow.

But Takeshi Yamamoto held him back.In the years that followed, Tsunayoshi Sawada often wondered whether he should thank Yushou for his rare "eventful" this time, although at that time, no matter what the answer was, it was meaningless to him.

——And at this moment, on this Friday night, when Tsunayoshi Sawada was looking forward to the future, the boy who was praised by Reborn as a "natural killer" jumped out without knowing it, and Peng Ge whispered a few low words. Lie Shidai's good mood disappeared in an instant.

Suzumiya Na didn't know anything about it. When Tsunayoshi Sawada's eyes suddenly changed because of Takeshi Yamamoto's "friendly reminder", she was rubbing her hot bracelet and staring at the Roman clock at the top of the clock tower.

On the white dial, the two black metal hands are strangely quiet, like some kind of dead animals.

The clock has no second hand, and the movement of the minute hand is too slow for the naked eye to detect...

— No, not right.

If it was Reborn or Prynne who stood here now, they would be able to catch every tremor of the minute hand with their eyes... Maybe Tsunayoshi Sawada could too.

The minute hand is the same, the difference is the person looking at the minute hand.

Sighing, Suzumiya Nai habitually touched the outer wall of the bracelet - she did this action dozens of times today - and found that it seemed to be a little hot again.

Looking up at the Roman clock again, the ancient clock also stared at her with pity.Suzumiya grinned at it, and quickly looked away.

Eight twenty...can't wait any longer.

Go ahead and make it clear...

Sighing, Suzumiya turned around, suddenly her pupils shrank slightly, and her left fist raised reflexively... and stayed in the air again.

"What are you doing!" Immediately withdrew her hand, Suzumiya stared at the young man reproachfully, "Standing silently behind others is frightening to death!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi remained silent, Suzumiya Nai gave him a strange look, then looked behind him, "Yamamoto and the others are gone?"

This time Sawada Tsunayoshi responded, with a "huh" in a serious manner... His voice was a bit weird.

Suzumiya Nai was even more surprised, paused, and then laughed: "I said, maybe it's because you are separated from your companions, so you are sad?"

The tone was brisk, but she didn't deliberately hide her doubts. If it was normal, Sawada Tsunayoshi would explain it aloud next.

But the boy didn't respond, as if caught by some kind of dark thoughts, he remained motionless.

Vaguely, Suzumiya felt that Tsunayoshi Sawada was in a very bad mood at the moment.It seemed that some things had exceeded his load and overflowed uncontrollably, so even standing in front of him, he was aware of... those negative emotions lingering in the boy's body.

She was standing under the street lamp, but Sawada Tsunayoshi happened to be in the shadow of a certain tree, and the way he stood there silently made Suzumiya Nana suddenly feel distressed.

The light couldn't penetrate the shade of the trees, the boy's eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the dark night, and his thin body looked like a silhouette that no one cared about.Scattered light spots fell on his school uniform, and the wind passed by the treetops, and those amber lights trembled like trembling.

Before Suzumiya Nana could react, she had already taken two steps forward, left the range of the street lamp, walked into the shadow, and came to the silent boy, her left hand even approached him... lightly landed on the On the face that was blown cold by the wind...

The gesture was too gentle, full of comfort and pity, Tsunayoshi Sawada accepted it without moving, and even closed his eyes.

Getting closer, Suzumiya Na could finally see that face clearly.

Losing his deep gaze, the boy's face instantly became more fragile, reminiscent of the bright moon on the lake, the foam on the seashore... such beautiful and fleeting things.

Suzumiya Nana stared blankly at the face as if obsessed, her fingertips continued to caress unconsciously.There was an indescribable breath in the wind, which made people warm and soft.

In this Eden-like blurred atmosphere, Sawada Tsunayoshi's voice sounded faintly——

"With my eyes closed like this, I will feel that you love me."

Suddenly the spell was broken!Surprised, Suzumiya Nai was about to withdraw her hand subconsciously, but was caught.

The eyes opened, brown pupils staring at her deeply.
