[Comprehensive] Occlumency Teacher

"Kill us... you'll die badly too, StingSnape!"

"You will go to hell like those Death Eaters, forever and ever."

"Hey Draco, I hate those green eyes, I...can't look in the mirror."

"Why, Sting?"

"Because I saw Snape in the mirror, Severus Snape."

"Jump down, jump down, it's all over."

"Lonicera, honeysuckle."

She woke up in a cold embrace, and met those golden eyes.

"..." Lonicera's lips moved, and she quickly broke free from Makishima's embrace, "Where is this...?"

She looked around, and the computer in front of Makishima was calculating at high speed.Through a glass, she saw the machines working in an orderly manner in the workshop.

"Izumo University, research lab." Makishima answered briefly, then stared at Lonicera carefully, "I just fell asleep without warning. Is it serious enough?"

"...what?"

"Insomnia, nightmares, and your... self-destructive tendencies."

Lonicera opened her eyes wide.

"Don't look surprised, Lonicera." Makishima, like a child coquettish with Lonicera, had focused eyes and a soft tone.

"Post-traumatic stress disorder, all of your colleagues came to the Public Security Bureau after graduating from a social psychology major, so why can't I see it. So... can't you? Look at your expression... .”

"I understand, but Qiao Yao didn't know." Makishima said with joy, as if he had discovered a new world, "It's too rough for you, that man."

"Your fate with Sly Shinya is over, Lonicera. Thanks to you, the justice that man has been guarding for a long time has collapsed."

"After standing with me, his gun will point at you without hesitation."

Makishima's words are like a sharp scalpel, knocking all the way down the bone marrow, stabbing hard when it touches the painful spot, until it makes people completely desperate.

"...who is to blame?" Liandong could only smile bitterly with helpless hatred, "If you hadn't used Nobumoto as a cover, I would have killed you as early as that night."

"The so-called 'terrible' news, isn't that enough? What kind of information do you expect from me? For example, 'Ginoza Supervisor's life is in danger'?"

"I shared with Liandong the fact that the chief of public security is Fujima-kun. Why don't you be more frank, Liandong, instead of saying 'I did it for Nobumoto', 'I'm going to kill you, Fujima' Mako Saburo' is the correct killing intent, right?"

"The moment I looked at Fujima-kun, it must not be for Ginoza. I should only have the idea of ​​revenge for Sasao-san in my mind."

"So after expecting that I would be imprisoned in the correctional center on purpose, you took me as bait and waited there for Shenya to try to kill him." Lonicera sighed desolately.

"Correct. You and the cunning, I have to kill one of them, so that I can get a complete and independent soul."

"whole?"

"Ah, integrity. The so-called independence means that no matter what the situation is, you will not be affected by other people's emotions, and your eyes will be focused on the front." Makishima said, his attention fell on the surveillance in the corner, The corners of the lips curled up.

"Shen Yuan..." Lonicera groaned in pain.

The entire factory suddenly went dark and the electrical system was cut off.

"It's quite capable, Public Security Bureau." Makishima's laughter came from the darkness, he grabbed Lian Dong's hand and led her out.

"Where are you going?"

"There is a helicopter parked on the roof at the end of the factory. I'm leaving here, Lonicera. I have to save you." As he said, Makishima took out a small package from his satchel and handed it to Lonicera.

"When I escaped from the ward, I stopped by your dormitory. I didn't know what you wanted to bring, so I packed some medicines, and I bought the rest when I arrived at the destination."

"......you..."

"Hush——" Makishima crouched down in the shadow of the corner with his arms around Lonicera, and the figures of Ginoza and Zhenglu were reflected in his golden eyes shining like a cheetah.

"Run Nobumoto!" Lonicera's yell made Makishima smack her lips, and she broke away from Makishima's hand and ran towards Nobumoto.

"Wait!" Makishima exclaimed behind him, followed by a burst of gunshots.

A huge iron box hanging in the air rubbed against Shenyuan's back and smashed to the ground with a muffled sound, and there was a sound of a long breath in the darkness.

"Makishima! Don't run!" Before Ginoza could finish his sentence, Zhenglu rushed over preemptively and pinned him to the ground.No, rather than being pushed down by Zhenglu, it is better to say that Makishima got into Zhenglu's arms in an instant.

"Not good—" When he saw the bloodletting knife in Makishima's hand, Masuriku let out a scream, and Makishima aimed at the subclavian artery like a calm surgeon and stabbed it.

"Little girl... shoot..." Zhenglu Zhiji noticed at this moment that Lonicera loaded the magazine and was aiming at this side with the gun in his hand.

"No! No! No!" Ginoza rushed over screaming out of control at this moment, "Kigakure! Don't shoot..."

Rendong tremblingly changed the angle of the gun with the two people rolling on the ground, Makishima was cunningly grabbing Zhenglu and changing the position, while stabbing into Zhenglu's body with the knife.

The tears on Shen Yuan's face suddenly hurt Lonicera.At this moment, Lonicera threw herself at the wrestling two without hesitation, and took them away with apparition.

The violent space-time reversal and movement made Makishima unable to understand the situation in front of him for a while, and the three of them landed on a giant computer behind Nobumoto and rolled down from it.

"...Hidden Mist?"

Liandong didn't speak, she got up and walked towards Shenyuan, and then suddenly gave him a hand knife.Shen Yuan fell to the ground.

"This is really...unprecedented." Makishima covered his mouth and retched, glanced at Masuriku who was fainted on the ground, wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up.

"Don't move." From Liandong's gun, came the sound of changing the magazine again.

"Lonicera." Makishima stood a few steps away from Lonicera, raised his hands with a smile, "suicidal tendency, how long have you been?"

Liandong held the gun quietly, "Don't you ask me? The scene just now."

Makishima shook his head.He had an expression of "it doesn't matter anymore".He tilted his head slightly, as if meeting Lonicera for the first time, "It's nothing more than you have some kind of ability that I don't know about."

"So, if you're really not from this world, then you can pretend to be exempt from sin."

"You know?" Liandong was stunned.

"Ah, I felt something was wrong when I saw the medicine you took when you were on duty in the telescope. I thought it was wrong at that time. I thought you and Fujima were the same kind of people."

"I am a wizard, and I am also an Occlumency Master." Seeing this, Liandong directly showed his cards and confessed.

"Brain... Occultist?" Makishima lowered his eyes and murmured the name again, "Oh, that was really hard work." As he spoke, he quietly looked at Lonicera with a compassionate gaze like a saint.

"I really miss the time when I stayed up all night like before and talked with you all night with my mobile phone in my hand."

"Do you remember? Once I took you out of class and took a long drive to the old Kyoto to search for books. When we came back, we were all lost."

A nostalgic light flashed in Makishima's eyes.The muzzle began to tremble.

——"How long have I slept?" On the train returning from old Kyoto, Lian Dong opened her eyes.

——Her saliva slid down the collar of the sailor suit and onto Makishima's shoulders, soaking his white shirt.

——"It's not long." Makishima smiled at her, moving his giggling shoulders.

—Ah, I suddenly remembered.Half asleep and half awake, someone put his hand between his head and the glass window.

——It seems that he has been taken care of by him in the same way.He vaguely remembered that he carefully took out a book from his bag, and stretched out his hand to shield her from the glare of the sun outside the window.The drive was long and long, and she slept soundly all the way.

Makishima smiled, and then approached step by step until her chest touched the barrel of her gun——

"You can't do it, Lonicera, because I am also your friend just like Sasayama."

Memories with Makishima flooded into my mind, "Why...why must it be you..." Lonicera burst into tears.While weeping, I hated myself for being like this.

She shook her head in pain.Suddenly, a gunshot broke the deadlock.

Bullets were fired one after another from somewhere on the upper floor behind the two.

"It turned out to be a catastrophe. It's finally here, cunning." Makishima smiled, covered the place where he was shot, and gave Liandong a hand knife.

"I won't need to take Lumaowei's medicine soon, Lonicera." Before losing consciousness, Lonicera heard Makishima say this to herself before collapsing.

After an unknown amount of time, Liandong opened his eyes in the bumpy environment.She was being held in the arms of Makishima, who was gasping for breath.There was the sound of heavy footsteps descending the iron stairs.

Sweat mixed with blood dripped down Makishima's clean and white face.

Finally, she was let down, the two stood on the roof, and the helicopter flew over here.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Makishima opened his arms and closed his eyes to breathe the fresh wind. The night is about to dawn, and the sound of artillery fire in the distance has not stopped, shouting, roaring... In the glory of the end, the people of this world are truly woke up.

"It's really a happy ending for the animals to turn back into people." Makishima narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"As for you... a wizard?" Makishima turned his head to look at Lonicera, he was in a daze, and he didn't even blink when the blood dripped into his eyes, "If I knew this, I shouldn't have let you participate in the game of."

"I'm disappointed in you, Lonicera."

"Suddenly I lost interest in you." Makishima murmured, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "I lost, I lost, Fog Hidden Honeysuckle."

Amidst the burst of laughter, Lonicera stepped back and raised his gun at Makishima again.

"How many times have I told you that you can't shoot." Makishima chuckled, "Because Lonicera likes me."

"like?"

"A year ago in the warehouse of the Ginoza apartment, you said that 'the position depends on the person you like'. In order to let you participate in the game, I put a lot of thought into it."

"How to make you like me? Or, how to make a person like me? This is something I have never considered, because everyone seems to like me, only Lonicera turns a blind eye to me."

"Do you have someone you like? Could it be that Sasayama? If I kill Sasayama, will he like me? But if you just kill him, there are still some hypocritical friends around you. Thinking about it, I You have to completely despair of the Sibyl system."

"...It's not true." Lonicera collapsed on the ground.

"It's true, Lonicera." Makishima smiled and said word by word: "Everything started because of you."

All misfortune.Sasayama's life, his cunning look...all because of her.

"If it wasn't for you, I might have been killed by the gnawing long ago."

"You distracted that man."

The image of Shinya lying on the ground dripping blood appeared in his mind.

"Can you deny it? When you are chasing me, you will think of something unconsciously? For example——

What is that man doing?Would he like something like this?What would he do if it was him? "

"When you think about it like this, you can connect your mind."

"So I don't get it, Liandong, isn't this a liking?"

"Shut up." Liandong interrupted Makishima's words with a cold face.Makishima froze for a moment.

"Like? Makishima, I, even if I go to hell, I will never forgive you." Lonicera stared at Makishima and said word by word, the wind from the helicopter blew their hair up.

"You regard me as a friend, right? Holy Guardian." Liandong lowered her eyes sadly, and then shouted vigorously: "Then, is there ever a day when you regretted killing Zuo Zuoshan?!"

Ren Dong's words made Makishima very surprised.At that moment, as if hallucinating, Liandong actually saw his expression become extremely soft, so soft... a little fragile.

Makishima's lips opened and closed, and just as he was about to speak, a gnawing voice sounded behind him——

"He won't regret it, Thirteen."

"It's just in time, Shinya Kouya, Lonicera is planning to leave here with me, you just say goodbye." Saying that, Makishima also raised his gun to Qiaoya.

"Sure enough, you are responsible for coercing Thirteen, everything is your fault." There was a hard light in the eyes of the cunning, he raised his gun to aim at Makishima, and his black hair fluttered in the night.

"Shen Ye...I...can't do it..." Liandong sat on the ground, immersed in guilt and pain and almost collapsed, weeping at Shen Ye.

There was a very struggling emotion between Shen Ye's brows, he frowned heartbrokenly and stared at Lonicera, after a while, he sighed, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Put down the gun and come into my arms."

Shinya's forgiveness made Liandong hang her head down.Heartbroken, he glanced at Kou, and then at Makishima.

The face of Sasayama and the clear-eyed wizards who died in his hands suddenly came back to his mind.The scene of the end is reflected in the unfocused green eyes.

She picked up the gun and aimed it at her temple.

A deafening gunshot pierced the quiet night.

☆, the final chapter

"Good morning."

"Good morning." Lonicera walked on the university campus, greeting colleagues and students.After the office warmed up, she took off her thick coat and came to her classroom holding hot coffee.

This is the second year that honeysuckle has come to Iceland.She got a job as an English teacher here.

I will still habitually think of that night when the dawn broke.

——Then, see you in the next world.

While mouthing this to himself, Makishima lowered the gun aimed at Kouchi first, and then blasted a hole in his head.

Liandong still can't figure out why Makishima, who has been refusing to admit defeat, lost his fighting spirit at the last moment.

She only remembered, "Has there ever been a day when you regretted killing Sasayama?"——When crying to Makishima, Makishima was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to suddenly realize it.

—Is that so?I get it, honeysuckle.

It was as if suddenly everything had lapsed into nihilism and everything had lost its meaning.Makishima showed such an expression at that time.A painful look.

What a man who never admits defeat.Even in the end, the chin was still raised high, and the beautiful lips were upturned.

"Professor Snape?"

Liandong came back to her senses and looked at the students in the audience.

"Sorry, I'm so hungry that I'm in a daze." Lonicera's words elicited laughter from the audience, and a croissant was handed up from below.

Perhaps because of the small age gap, Lian Dong is quite likable, and the students here get along well with her.The situation is much better than when she was a professor at Hogwarts.

"We're going to talk about George Orwell today." Lonicera threw the textbook aside, and also gave up the slides, and began to sit casually on the table in the front row and talk.

From time to time, students would ask questions, and Lian Dong's answers were always from a novel angle. Every time he talked about something exciting, it always attracted a burst of admiration.They love to listen to this little professor who is the same age as them. His voice is sweet and soft, and his strong and elegant British accent is enviable.

The words on the lips of Lonicera stopped.At this moment, she felt an unusual line of sight.When I looked over instinctively, I only saw the student hiding in the hood sleeping in the back corner.

"Professor, the world described by George Orwell is very similar to Japan a year ago, isn't it?"

Lonicera froze for a moment.

"It seems to be like this. A world where all emotions can be quantified and crimes and talents are completely determined by machines is really crazy."

"I heard that someone finally couldn't take it anymore, so he overthrew the regime of the whole country directly by himself. It's too powerful."

"But is this really good? Although the country needs to change, subverting the regime will cost a lot, and the people will suffer in the end, right?"

"You mean, that person has become a heinous villain instead?" The students began to argue red-faced.

"Knowing that there is a problem in the world, watching all the people around me, the ones I love and the ones I hate, I can't know it. All the unwillingness, anger, and despair can only be borne alone. One person carries everything, Professor, is such a person evil?"

"But putting aside right and wrong and justice, just because he treats human life like an ant, he deserves to be sanctioned, and he should die as many times as he kills."

The classroom fell into silence, and everyone's eyes were on Liandong, waiting for her to speak.

Liandong blinked, her eyelashes trembling, and after a while, she only said softly: "You are all right."

——"He's just lonely, he's just lonely..." At the moment Makishima fell down, Rendong was crying in Shinya's arms.She kept repeating this sentence.

——The bottom layer of Nonata was blown upside down by the rebels, and the brains of the sinners disappeared completely along with the Hesheng Soil Sect.After the Sibilla system was killed by Makishima and Lonicera, a new order needs to be established urgently.

——So, when Qiao Yao persuaded her to stay and rebuild with him, Liandong said "I'm sorry" and scolded "bastard" and fled from him.

——she kept crying, hid in the dormitory and cried for three hours, followed by endless hiccups, and a cold war with Shinya.Lonicera's protection of Makishima, and Shinya's obsession with that world, are the places where the two have never been able to understand each other.

——The hiccups stopped on the fifth day.Liandong stole Makishima's body and buried it in a clean and beautiful place.Then, she pulled the suitcase and went to Iceland alone without looking back.

At twelve noon, I had dinner with the professors.Faces were arguing over whether to have trout or herring for lunch.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Halloween rehearsal.Lian Dong was too lazy to prepare, so she casually put on her own wizard robe.

"You don't look like a wizard." Anatomy professor Amanda said to herself.

"Eh, why?"

"Probably... wizards should all look eerie? Where can there be such a beautiful witch as Sting."

Lonicera laughed dumbfoundedly.

"Fairy." Amanda sighed when she saw Lonicera's curved crescent eyes.

At this moment, she felt that gaze again, but when she turned around, there was nothing.

I got off work at four o'clock and passed by the police station.The blue-eyed blond guy greeted her again, asking if she wanted to walk the dog.

This island country at 60 degrees north latitude has a low crime rate because of the cold, and the policemen are also very leisurely. They feed the pigeons every day and then help the townspeople walk their dogs.

"Are you back, Professor Snape?" The granny of the florist waited at the door on time and handed Lonicera a bunch of flowers with a smile, "Here, the leftovers for today."

"Thank you." Lonicera smiled and bowed slightly to her to express her gratitude.She is the youngest university professor in this small town. Because of her young age, she only smiles amiably when being approached by the townspeople, so the gentle and kind townspeople treat her like the daughter next door.

At five o'clock, I went to the supermarket.Japanese imported food on the shelves caught her attention.That's it.Lonicera laughed.Japan finally resumed its foreign exchanges and started international trade.

It should also be the man's credit, right?Liandong's mind was full of those black eyes.She took a brushed cheeseburger and put it in the box.

"Draco...well, not sure, um...maybe back for Christmas?" She was on the phone with Draco.

"Don't make trouble...it's Aunt Sting...Sting, is it convenient to video now?...Scorpius heard that it was you who insisted on talking to you."

"Okay, wait a minute." Lonicera hugged the flower in her arms, freed up a hand to turn on the video on the phone, "Hi, little sugar cake, do you miss your aunt?"

Draco and Astoria's son was giggling at Honeysuckle across the screen.

"Sting...still going to be like this?" Draco took the phone, hesitant to speak.

"How?" Liandong pretended not to understand, and prevaricated, "...I'll get back to you later. Tell Astoria that I love her!"

Liandong frowned, just now, she saw the faint figure behind her in the camera.Tsk, is it finally showing up?Liandong raised the corners of her lips, and quickly turned into an alley.

The man who hid his face under the hood followed.The moment he turned in, Liandong flew straight to the door.The man reacted very quickly, reaching out to block her leg, and grabbing her ankle.

"...Not bad." The fighting spirit in Liandong's eyes became stronger, and when she fell down, she locked the opponent's waist with her scissors legs, and swung a right hook with a punch hanging on him. fist.

The man's hood came down.

When meeting these black eyes, Liandong didn't have time to think about it, quickly picked up his things and ran away.

"..." The man grabbed her by the collar helplessly from behind, and because of the struggle, she was suspended in the air, and the fruit in her hand was scattered all over the floor.

"...It's been two years, haven't you been able to hide enough? Lonicera Mistumi."

"I've worked so hard to find you."

Tears flowed down my face when I heard the man's voice.

"Long time no see." Liandong closed her eyes and let out a sigh.

Honeysuckle home.The kettle on the stove made a sound like a whistle.

"Please use." Lian Dong poured a cup of hot cocoa and handed it to Shen Ye.

"Thank you." Shen Ye held the cup, looked up and looked around her home, and then his eyes fell on Lonicera, "The hair has grown."

Liandong avoided Shen Ye's sight, couldn't think of what to answer for a moment, and could only remain silent.

"It's a nice home."

"Really? I plan to change to a bigger one in two years." Liandong smiled dryly.

"...Executive officer..." She finally thought of the topic, and then looked at Shinya puzzled, "Can the executive officer go out at will?"

Shen also lowered his head and took a sip of cocoa, "Now there is no distinction between executive officers and supervisors, we are collectively called police."

"That's it, that's good."

The room fell silent again.

"Are you married, Kirigakure?" Shinya suddenly stared at Lonicera.

"Oh... let me go, not yet." Liandong shook her head and smiled wryly, "It's time for dinner, at least allow me to entertain the cunning one?" Saying so, Liandong got up.

Shen also lowered his head and smiled.Two years have not left any marks on this face, he still looks handsome and deep, his eyes are like the black night.When Liandong got up, the light in his eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

"...Well..." Lian Dong was kissed passionately, she backed away and tried to get away from this embrace, but was picked up and put on the table.

Clothes, cups, and things on the table were scattered all over the place.

"Thirteen, don't leave me again."

"..."

"Thirteen, Thirteen."

The sunlight outside the window spilled into the bedroom, Liandong stretched her sore body, put on her clothes and planned to get out of bed.

"Thirteen, don't go...don't go..."

Liandong's hand was held tightly, she froze for a moment, then turned to see Shen Ye was still sleeping.Even in his dream, he still frowned.

"I'll make you breakfast." Lonicera gently touched Shen Ye's face, and kissed him on the forehead.

When getting out of bed, Liandong's legs went limp, she looked at Shen Ye who was sleeping soundly with some complaints, and then lowered her brows and smiled.

"When is the flight ticket?" During the meal, Liandong asked Shenya.

"My ticket is one-way, so I'm not leaving." Shinya buried his head in greeting the miso soup in the bowl.

"But...you have to book a ticket back."

"Why?" Shen Ya put down the bowl and chopsticks, frowned, his expression became fragile in an instant, "Isn't that enough? Punishment, isn't it enough Thirteen?"

"Because..." Lonicera raised her head at this time, her smile was warm and real under the sun, "If I don't book a ticket, how can I go back with you?"

This smile made his heart beat stop.The lingering and soft memories poured into my heart endlessly.

Shen Ye's black eyes widened, "Really? Thirteen, are you sure?"

His eyes were full of joy, as if they would glow.Looking at such light, Liandong suddenly felt that nothing mattered.

"Well, where you are is home."

2.

"Kigakure, are you back? Just come back, cheer me up and work."

After glancing at Honeysuckle, Shenyuan put on a serious look, and as usual, he assigned a bunch of tasks to her.After taking off his glasses, Shenyuan has very beautiful green eyes, very similar to Zhenglu's.

"Thirteen, do you think who came to see you?" After returning home, Liandong saw Shen Ye smiling at her, and then opened the door. Snape and Draco were sitting on the sofa waiting for her to come back.

"Sting." Snape and Draco smiled at her.

"Dad came all the way, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Shen Ye hurriedly rushed into the kitchen to wash the fruit, "Thirteen—where did you put the yokan you bought that day?"

"The cabinet on the second floor! Stupid!" Liandong sighed helplessly.

"It's gone! Let that guy Zuo Zuoshan eat it up! This bastard, I must teach him a lesson when I go to work tomorrow!"

At this time, the intercom phone rang, "Hello? Is this Mrs. Cunning from B308? This is the guard room. You have visitors."

visitor?

Lonicera pushed open the door suspiciously, and was blinded by the dazzling white light.

The gentle wind blew across his face, Kazuki's flowers bloomed, and a large number of cherry blossom petals fell on his face.

Lian Dong slowly opened his eyes, and the person standing still in that ray of light turned around and looked at her with a smile, "The cherry blossoms in the old Kyoto are blooming, and the bookstore in Gu Chuan also has new products, shall I take you to skip class? "

——“I read a book a few days ago. The book said that life is just a process from entropy reduction to entropy increase.” In the controversial George Orwell class, Honeysuckle said so .

——"Then, the death of a person is really nothing to the universe. Because mass is conserved, energy is conserved, and angular momentum is also conserved."

——"So the encounter is nothing more than one particle bombarding another particle. After the molecules are broken up and reorganized, it will be a different scene in another world."

When I woke up the pillow was wet.She opened her eyes and looked out of the window. This newly established city was shining in the dark night tirelessly.The endless stream of light and shadow fell on the wedding photo on the bedside.

"What's the matter?" The man beside him who fell into a deep sleep with Lonicera in his arms seemed to sense her strangeness, and asked her in a daze.

"It's okay, it was just a dream."

"...It was a good dream."

"Well...that's good, go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow morning." Saying that, Shen Ye lowered his head and pecked Lonicera's face, even when he was half asleep and half awake, he still hugged her tightly like a child .

The man's panting gradually subsided.

"Shinya, I love you."

"Well... I love you too." Shinya muttered in a low voice, adjusted his posture, held her in his arms more comfortably, and fell into a deep sleep.

Even if it's freezing tomorrow, what does it matter if the road is far away and the horse dies?

After the sun rises, tomorrow is another day.

——The end——

☆, Makishima St. Guardian episode

1.

——Everyone is lonely, everyone is empty, no matter what talent can find a substitute, no matter what kind of interpersonal relationship can also be replaced.

I'm tired of this world.

"I really like being alone, even if you are surrounded by people, it can be very lonely, isn't it?"

When she first came to Yingshuang, the girls laughed at her withdrawn Lonicera just smiled, and then said so calmly.

alone...?Regarding this proposition, Makishima, who was looking at those green eyes across the crowd at that time, really wanted to debate it with her.

There is no one who is not alone.Said it as if she would be an exception.

"Kigakure, come here." He greeted Liandong with a smile, "The school has a new batch of painting materials, can you help me carry them?"

"Yes." Liandong walked beside Makishima with a smile, and after getting rid of the crowd, she asked in a playful and sweet voice, "Where are you going today?"

"Old Kyoto, Guchuan's bookstore has a new batch of good stuff."

"Smashing!"

Makishima frowned at the sound of the crowd, which was lonelier than the fireworks.He was huddling with Honeysuckle in the narrow underground club, and the bands that were not recognized by Sibilla were performing heartily.

"Is there something on my face?" Makishima looked back at this moment and noticed Lonicera's gaze.

"Yeah." Liandong nodded vigorously, then suddenly embraced Makishima, holding his hand and shaking his body from side to side, "It's so lonely, Mr. Makishima."

Makishima's eyes widened.

He looked defenseless, with a pride similar to his own.From the intertwined fingertips came... temperature.

What are you thinking, honeysuckle in the fog.

"Ahh——really, ignore Makishima!" Lonicera's voice brought Makishima back to his senses.He looked around, the streets of old Kyoto, and the cherry blossoms were scattered along the streets.

While at the Furukawa Bookstore, Makishima had been trying to argue with Lonicera about loneliness.For some reason, he was almost obsessed with trying to get her to accept his assertion that "everyone is lonely".

"You—" Liandong exhaled with her mouth puffed out.After she approached Makishima, she stared seriously into his eyes and said word by word: "You are a lonely weirdo today, you live in isolation, and one day you will become a nation."

From Nietzsche.In order to defend yourself, did you not hesitate to quote Nietzsche?Makishima laughed suddenly, and he began to carefully look at the extremely serious face in front of him.What a very strong look, these clear and shining green eyes are emitting a dazzling brilliance because they are never confused.

It is this kind of light that directly distinguishes her from the "people" around her.In the crowd, you can see... see... at a glance?Makishima watched suspiciously as the girl sat down on the floor suddenly and pulled up her trouser legs.

"Brother, I don't want to go on like this..."

"Brother?" Makishima raised his eyebrows, and after the eyes of the people around him gathered, he saw the sly corners of the lips that were covered by the girl's arms.

"How could you do that to me...you are my brother..."

that kind of thing?Makishima still couldn't comprehend the situation before him.I had to listen to her continue to say——

"No...I don't want to go to hotels with my brother anymore..."

Some passers-by had already stopped with clenched fists.Makishima's expression remained unchanged, but he smacked his lips. If this continues...it's probably going to be bad.

"It's fine to treat me like this...why? After my father is gone, I have to do that to my mother..."

"Mom?! Even my sister and mother?! This beast!"

"..." Before Makishima could speak, he was surrounded by a group of people.He saw the girl standing on tiptoe and sticking her tongue out at him.

With a "poof", he laughed.

"What's the matter, Guardian?"

Guardian?Makishima slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on Lonicera's lap.

"Did you have any good dreams when you were taking a nap?" Lonicera frowned, lowered her head and sent the half-eaten pocky into Makishima's mouth.

Makishima looked around, and the TV in front of him was playing the favorite black and white movie of the two of them.

"Aren't you busy today?" Makishima looked at Lonicera's face.

"
