To the eternal you

"Don't be angry...I shouldn't have done that suddenly, but...I can't help hearing a song like that."

Suzuki, who was wronged like a little daughter-in-law, pulled the girl's sleeves. The two were on their way back, and Qi looked a little embarrassed.

"Suzuki is really...fufu...pervert! A scammer! Kissing maniac!"

There was a trace of flush on the girl's cheeks, and her chest continued to rise and fall, which proved how unstable her mentality was at the moment.

It's really too bad for Suzuki to suddenly rush up to kiss or something when others finished singing and brewing their own emotions!

"Please...wait for me...please don't..."

She subconsciously sped up her pace, but Suzuki still followed her closely, the eyes that wanted to eat her and the gradually deepening panting, if Qi always felt a little faster, the other party might do something again. What kind of daring behavior.

Sure enough, before walking out of the beach, Suzuki grabbed the girl's wrist, and threw Qi down after being caught by a stone.

Afterwards, the girl's hands were tightly clamped, and her body was pressed down on the soft sand. The delicate skin could feel the touch of the white sand, and she could also see Suzuki's face.

It was supposed to be like a peach-like pink atmosphere, and a honey-like warm breath, but... warm tears fell on her cheeks.

Ling Lai propped up her hands, obviously looking down at the girl from above, but Li Hua was crying with rain, pouring out a hint of crying.

"Don't leave me...don't abandon me, please...please."

She was afraid, worried that what happened tonight would destroy the balance between the two of them.

It made it difficult for the girl named Kamisato Suzuki to get close to her light like in the past.

The crying face is of course not good-looking, the tears fell on the cheeks and slid down the curve, staining the skirt of the clothes, and the water stains blurred.

After a long silence, the girl's eyes lowered slightly, feeling the collision of emotions at the moment, but nothing unexpected... She stretched out her hand and gently wrapped her arms around Suzuki's trembling shoulders.

"It's okay...I won't abandon you, and I won't leave. Forget...forget about tonight."

"Kissing... is something to express liking. I'm just a puppet, and I don't understand such emotions... So, it's okay... don't be afraid."

The girl's voice is very gentle, just like her mother's.

On the way home, Qi held Suzuki's hand, their masks were swept away by the waves, and they walked in the sparsely lit alley. The mottled light illuminated the bright cherry pattern pattern on the kimono for a moment and then disappeared.

"Hey... pray."

Suzuki frowned, and her voice was soft.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"Yeah... why, I don't understand the answer either."

Qi could feel the soft touch from her fingertips, but nothing else.

"Probably not everything has an answer, just like Suzuki wasn't so enthusiastic at the beginning?"

"I have reasons to like Shangqi!"

Suzuki was wet by the waves so that the foot pockets were slightly transparent, and the delicate and small ankle bones, as well as the soft and soft arches of the feet could be seen. At this time, the cherry-like toes were tightly pressed together.

"But... Qi Mingming said that he would not like me, and he didn't understand what that kind of emotion is, so why is he willing to tolerate me all the time... I am very worried, very selfish, and even the thoughts in my heart are very ...ugly."

"Thinking that if you are willing to treat me like this, and maybe you are willing to treat others like this, Suzuki...can't help but want to lock you up."

The girl couldn't help chuckling, she looked at Suzuki who was in a daze.

"Both the general and my mother have asked me similar questions, but the answers given to them are different. If for the general, it is the tenderness of the elder sister who cares for the younger sister, for the mother, it is the dedication that is willing to give even if it is all."

"That should be trust and tolerance for Suzuki and my friends."

She turned her back and took a few steps forward.

"Everyone makes mistakes, it's just that I have a slightly higher tolerance. If this can make Suzuki less sad, then my actions are meaningful, aren't they?"

"Of course, what happened today can only happen this once, even I will be angry next time."

Surrounded by the moonlight, the sakura-like tender girl looked back at her, and the dreamy but real sense of existence made Suzuki feel dazed.

"Tomorrow will be Kagura to appease my anger, are you ready?"

"Well... I will definitely satisfy Qi, and please look at me well at that time, and don't run away again."

Suzuki silently intensified the strength of her hands, and under the slightly confused eyes of the girl, a peaceful smile was drawn at the corner of her mouth.

In the long night, two lanterns float slowly in the night, one in front and one behind.

——The girl is praying——

When approaching Tianshou, the two resumed walking side by side, waved each other and said goodbye.

However, when Qi was walking towards the Great Imperial Palace, an unexpected figure appeared there, it was Miss Huasanli.

Her figure was in the shadows, staring at the moon obsessively, she did not lower her head until Qi approached, her soft voice was like the ding-dong of spring water.

"My lord, you are back."

"There is something in the flowers that I want to return to you."

She took out a cat face mask, with a round outline, slightly protruding at the tip of the nose, outlining the red-scarred facial features, and six cat whiskers.

"This is..." Qi took the mask, and there were a few shallow marks on it, "Is it the mask that I lost when I went out with Mitsuyo... Was the witch sister I saw at that time also Hana Sanri? ?”

"That's right, I'm really sorry for the trouble I caused you... Therefore, I've always been carrying the mask, and I want to apologize to you."

There is a deep apology in the words.

"No, it doesn't matter, it's better to say...it should be me and Hua Sanli saying sorry."

Qi took the mask, but vaguely felt that the mask seemed to be different from before, but he couldn't tell what had changed.

"During the festival, I didn't ask Hua Sanli to hang out together, sorry..."

"You're serious. After all, Huasanli is not a phantom of past memories that don't want to die. As long as I can watch you from a place not too far away, that's enough."

Hua Sanli must be angry... The girl felt guilty.

"Isn't that too lonely?"

It must feel terrible to hang out from the crowd like that, to watch people close to you mess around with other people, and then feel left out.

"...No, not at all."

Not being frank, she lowered her head at the moment, denying the girl's concern.

"Look, it must be bad."

Qi stepped forward and held her hand, but the cold hand could not feel any warmth.

"I'm sorry... I have experienced a lot of things together, but I didn't think of you at the first time, but I still remember the promise at that time."

"...Will Hua Sanli still want to create a story between us with me?"

It's like this again, using words and expressions that people can't refuse, walking into the bottom of my heart step by step.

Bringing a short ray of light, the dark soil of the heart has a glimmer of life.

But that warm little sun doesn't just rise for me, no... why do such outrageous thoughts exist in my heart?

Probably because of hesitation, whether she will be forgotten one day, even though she knew it was impossible, but she couldn't help but think about what to do if it really happened.

From the first time he appeared, to watching Master Qi silently outside the courtyard, and finally at the beach, he witnessed the bold girl crossing the forbidden distance and kissing Master Qi.

If you have a body, can you be like them?

Playing in festivals, expressing one's heart on the beach, seeing each other's reflection in each other's eyes.

There is no room for everything else.

But she is not alone in having such thoughts.

"Miss Huasanli!"

In front of the mask, the girl's cheeks were pressed very close together, her puffy look was very cute.

"Yes!"

She took a half step back in a panic, but she didn't break free from the girl's hand.

"Why don't we... set off fireworks together?"

Qi Ke spent more than half of his pocket money to buy fireworks. He wanted to set off fireworks with his mother, but he couldn’t use them in the end. Being with the general and Ying’s mother is always noisy, so he can only do it as soon as possible. Solve the immediate matter first.

The fireworks were also forgotten by Qi, and they are still piled up in the corner of the room.

"This... this is probably not very..."

"In that case, Qi really doesn't know what to do now."

The girl took her hand and looked at her pitifully.

"Hmm...please don't look at me like that...my body will melt..."

In a literal sense, the figures in Huasan began to waver, flickering, and the hem of the scarlet hakama seemed to be about to dissolve.

"Since you like to set off fireworks, just decide like this, Huasanli will accompany you!"

"Sister Huasanli loves me the most~"

"You...this...sister or something...please don't say such naughty things! I'm just a..."

"The unknown little witch~"

The girl rushed to answer, but also showed a very sincere smile.

Hua Sanli could only bow her head obediently, letting the girl tease her.

"I really can't do anything about you, and I also feel a headache for me who always can't harden my heart to reject you."

All the way to the girl's dormitory, Hua Sanli was still a little surprised when she watched her take out a box of fireworks from under the bed.

"Although I know you have prepared fireworks, can you really finish the fireworks after buying so many?"

"Save the unfinished ones for next time~"

She took out a large bundle of fireworks, which was a long-shaped fireworks stick. You only need to click and light the front end, and fireworks will burst out.

The girl distributed several flowers among the scattered flowers, and she picked up a flower and shook it gently.

Watching the bright fireworks leave a brilliant light in the night.

But soon, it stopped abruptly before burning to the end.

She also holds a firework stick in the flowers, and her method is to hold the firework stick and let it hang down naturally, as if holding a star.

The shining time is far longer than that of praying.

"Hey——Hua Sanli doesn't seem to like it, but he's actually very good at it~"

"It was you who swayed so fast that the spark died out."

The flowers in Huasanli's hand soon burned out, and she raised her head.

The girl ignited another one, and the fireworks illuminated them again, dispelling the darkness.

"Hmph~ I found a good way."

"What are you going to do?"

"Tell Hua Sanliqian that I have a problem too~"

Qi placed the flower in front of him, looking at the area illuminated by the small flame.

"What angle does Hua Sanli think is the most beautiful to see the fireworks?"

"...Probably from the side."

Because she is sitting on the side of the girl now.

"Is that so~ I thought Huasanli would say it below."

Before the flower was almost burned out, Qi quickly replaced it with another one, and the bright fireworks continued to the next one.

Repeating like this, the girl took out many, many flowers and lit them one by one, and the gathered light was like a bunch of fireworks forming flowers.

Qi handed her to Huasanli with a slight smile.

"For you, Miss Huasanli, who is more beautiful than fireworks~"

The "fireworks" burning with a lot of light and heat were caught in the flowers, and the warmth of the girl's palm seemed to remain under the firework sticks.

Even through the mask, you can feel the color of the bright light, as if it dyed your own world white.
