[Digimon DA] Parallel Lines

After seeing the Azure Dragon Beast, the selected children all set their goals on the Tower of Destruction Darkness.Dark War Greymon won't be their enemy for the time being, and Akirimon isn't afraid of them yet, so the children will live a quieter life.

Chika Haneda of the junior high school group said that she had to focus on the things in the real world first, so she would act separately from them, and would not go to the digital world as often as in the past.After a few days had passed since the dark battle with Greymon, she remembered one thing.

She seems to have been confessed.

It was when she was sitting in the classroom having lunch with her friends, she noticed that Sasaki-san glanced over from time to time, and then she remembered such a thing.

She sighed deeply, her hand slipped holding the chopsticks, and the omelette fell back into the lunch box, and she froze.Seeing her expression, Sakamoto Qianxia looked at the nearby classmates suspiciously, and when she found that Sasaki was quietly watching Haneda Chika, she showed him a "friendly" smile.Sasaki's back turned cold, seeing Sakamoto Chinatsu's smile, he suddenly looked away and turned his head away.

Chinatsu Sakamoto "hummed" twice, seeing her friend's unusual reaction, she probably knew that something had happened.

"Qianhua... the omelet has fallen back into the box, don't bite hard on the chopsticks."

Haneda Chika stared blankly at the chopsticks, only to realize that she was about to bite on them just now.

"Um……"

"What happened?"

At this moment, Haneda Chika really wanted to consult with her friends, but then she felt that it would be a little impolite to tell others about her confession, and she had to solve this kind of matter by herself, and she couldn't rely on her friends for everything.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, so I'm in a daze."

"...It's fine."

In fact, Sakamoto Qianxia, ​​who has known the current situation for a long time, respects her friend's thoughts. Since she doesn't tell herself, she can't force the other party to dig out the secret from the other party's mouth.She sighed, and if she said to the other party, "Tell me, in fact, I know that Sasaki has been secretly in love with you for a long time!" Such words would definitely embarrass the other party.

She can't scare "Qianhua Meow" away.

At this time, Takeuchi Sora came to her classroom door to look for Haneda Chika, who seemed to be dazed for a while before recovering and walking out.

"... Sora, what's wrong?"

"I'm here to ask Chika a question." Takeuchi Sora smiled brightly, and the question was straightforward, so Haneda Chika nodded and let her ask casually. "Qianhua, do you like gray or lavender?"

She also often uses items and clothes in two colors, and she likes them more... She thought about it, and recently, because of Jade Rabbit and her own D-3, her preferences tend to be pink and purple, so she replied: "Lavender .”

"Well, I see." The other party didn't intend to explain the problem, and soon brought up another topic. "By the way, Taiyi asked me to tell you that he wants to go back with you today."

Send a message?It's really not like him. He usually speaks directly to her, so why did he ask others to tell her?

Why doesn't he come over?

"……I see."

Takeuchi Sora remembered Yagami Taichi's expression, and asked, "By the way, Chika, do you know what happened to Taichi? He is always in a daze today, and he looks very preoccupied."

"I don't know." She hasn't talked to Yagami Taichi for the past few days, but she has continued to knit a scarf for him, but she doesn't feel that she has looked at his face very much.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt very empty inside.

... I kind of want to meet him, so that I can "recharge" my mind.

"I thought something happened between him and Chika." Takeuchi Sora breathed a sigh of relief. To tell the truth, she even planned "these two people quarreled again", and also considered whether to make them reconcile.

"...Huh? Why?"

His abnormality has something to do with her?Although she knew it was not good to think like this, she was a little happy to think that he was thinking about her.

She felt that she was obviously "in love", but felt that this little thought was a bit strange.

"Because when I said that I would come to see you, he was taken aback from his daze." Just thinking about Iori Taichi's actions just now is really funny, Takeuchi Sora couldn't help thinking this way. "Obviously it's fine to come here by yourself, but please tell me something... I thought you two were fighting again."

"It's been a long time since I've had a fight with him."

Seeing her turning her head and crossing her arms in front of her chest, Takeuchi Sora could only show a wry smile.Although Yagami Taichi didn't say it clearly, she still knew that the two had a small quarrel not long ago, and his lonely expression like an abandoned puppy after she unilaterally avoided him was really a bit funny.

"Then I'll go back to the classroom first, bye."

Haneda Chika waved her hand, watched her leave and turned back to the classroom, just happened to bump into someone.She held her nose and took a few steps back, calmed down and saw that it was Sasaki-san.She froze in place, not daring to make a sound. The students seated by the door looked at her and Sasaki with strange eyes, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"I'm sorry for bumping into you, and Haneda-san, can you give way?" Sasaki broke the atmosphere, tried to show a friendly smile, and pointed to her back. "This way I can't get out of the classroom." Originally, he was a little concerned about Chika Haneda and came out as an excuse to buy a drink, but he bumped into her by accident. Seeing that she was in pain but still calm, he thought she was cute .

"I'm sorry." Haneda Chika stepped out of the way and let him go out first before returning to his seat.

She had doubts before, and thought that maybe Sasaki-san said he liked her just to tease her?Maybe he had to tell her this because he lost a game of "Truth or Dare" with other students?

But at this moment, she was almost sure that Sasaki liked her.

She doesn't know how much she likes it, but at least it's the "good feeling" of being in love.

She is very confident in her observation skills, Sasaki will show a shy expression when looking directly at her, because after her behavior made the atmosphere a bit awkward, he took the lead to break the deadlock, with direct kindness in his eyes.

Even though she feels shy, she seems to understand that boys and girls "like" and express their feelings differently.

No, she shouldn't compare, because everyone's love is unique.

It seemed that she couldn't turn a blind eye.

***

Haneda Chika was rarely distracted during class today, and almost ignored the teacher's question. Fortunately, there was "God Teammate" Sakamoto Chinatsu, who escaped the tragedy of being made things difficult by the math teacher.

After class, Yagami Taichi came to Haneda Chika's classroom, and most of the other students had already gone back.He peeped in front of the classroom door and found that the girl was not there, but the schoolbag was still on the seat, and her friend Sakamoto Chinatsu was sitting on her seat, looking like she was waiting for someone.

After Sakamoto Chika found Yagami Taichi, she nodded and said hello to him, and then stepped forward and told him: "Qianhua went out with her classmates, she asked me to tell Senior Yagami, I hope you will wait for her, and she will come back when she is done. gone."

Haneda Chika specially asked her friend to send him a message, it seems that there is something important.

"Did Qianhua go to work for the teacher?"

"No, she went out with her classmate Sasaki, maybe she has something to say?" Sakamoto Chinatsu smiled gently, seeing Yagami Taiyi looking like she wanted to go out to find someone, stopped him and said : "Senior Yagami, wait."

"Since Qianhua wants you to wait here for her return, you can wait here." There was something in her words, and she didn't know if the other party understood, but she just continued to express her thoughts. "Even if Yagami-senpai and Qianhua are childhood sweethearts, now she is not a child who wants to be picked up by you, senior, after going out to talk to her classmates."

He was extremely anxious at first, but after hearing her words, he stopped in his tracks.

Originally, he didn't know the name of the boy who confessed to Chika Haneda, but he felt that it was "Sasaki", so she went to him, did she like him too?

For a moment, he unconsciously moved his feet, trying to find her.

However, what he said to this girl was right, he and her were just childhood sweethearts, and he couldn't interfere with her in everything.

I don't know, will she feel bored with him like this?

In fact, he understands everything.

The uneasiness and bitterness in his heart must be because of "like".

***

"I'm sorry, Sasaki-san."

"Alas..." Sasaki smiled wryly. Just now when Chika Haneda called him to a place where no one was around, there was a little bit of hope in his heart, but it was extinguished by her so quickly, and he felt really uncomfortable. "So, I was eliminated so quickly?"

"No, I just apologized for taking your unintentional confession as a joke." She explained to him calmly, as if the person being confessed was not herself.

"Then, what I want to say is, I can't..."

"Really, Haneda, wait for me!" Sasaki was a little helpless in the face of such a girl with no common sense, so she didn't have to say the previous sentence, okay?Moreover, few people can bear the blow of continuous apologies... At least give him a little psychological preparation!

Seeing her look like "I'm waiting for you to talk", Sasaki held his forehead and said, "First of all, as you said, my previous confession was unintentional...it can't even be called a confession. So, Haneda, you Can you listen to what I have to say before telling me what you think?"

"……Um."

After seeing her compromising expression, he was relieved. His psychological endurance is not so strong. He really doesn't want to be rejected twice in a row by the girl he likes.

"I, I have always cared about you, Haneda, since I was in kindergarten. At that time, I probably wanted to bully the girl who cared about me, so I left a bad impression and memory on you. I'm sorry first." He thought about it Thinking, after organizing the scene in my mind into words, I continued: "I changed schools when I was in elementary school. After knowing that you were in that school, I unconsciously focused my eyes on you. Until recently, I realized... I really I really care about you, and I have a good impression of you, so I probably "like" you."

"Although we are still young, what I can say now is that I like you."

"I can't accept your feelings."

Hearing the other party's categorical words, Sasaki tried his best to maintain a friendly expression on his face, but his heart was already bleeding.

"Also, thank you for your kindness... I am very grateful for the part other than the kindness in love." Chika Haneda feels that no matter what kind of liking the other party likes, someone still needs to thank her for showing kindness to her, especially She's the kind of person who can't communicate well.

To be honest, she was not someone who would be grateful if someone showed kindness to her, but this boy who liked her broke the embarrassing situation for her at lunch today... In her eyes, he is a good person.

"I already have someone I like, so I won't thank you kindly in terms of love, nor can I accept your confession, and I won't say 'sorry' to you." She looked directly at him, and could not help Avoid the other party's sight. "I still like the person I like, and I have nothing to be sorry for you, so I will not say an apology before rejecting."

"...Haneda, you are really cruel."

"I just feel that in this kind of matter, I don't want to say tactful words. I can't accept your intentions, and I can only say words of rejection. No matter what kind of rejection it is, I think it will be a kind of harm to you. I feel that if I reject you severely, maybe you will feel that you have misjudged the person, and you will be able to let go soon."

"Hey, if you say that, aren't you afraid of stabbing me in the wound again?"

"As a classmate, I will pray for someone who can be your "Band-Aid". Also, it doesn't matter if you blame me or curse at me after this, I don't care anyway."

"...This kind of style is really worthy of Haneda."

He has been looking at her, how can he not understand, this is also part of her tenderness, although what she said must be true, but she said it directly and ruthlessly, hoping that even if he feels sad, he can take responsibility and The tragedy was all on her shoulders.

Plus, she was thoroughly stating her position in the hope that he wouldn't subconsciously hold any more false hopes.Because this is not a good thing for her and him.

But to say such harsh words, it means that this girl's communication skills are really bad.

However, as she said, she never cared about these.

Chika Haneda nodded to him, pointed in a certain direction and said, "I'm going back to the classroom, bye."

"goodbye."

Goodbye, his first love.

***

Later, Yagami Taichi didn't ask her anything, but went back with her after she returned to the classroom.

Chika Haneda would respond positively to Sasaki's matter. On the one hand, she felt that he had helped her before, and she had to respond well to him, completely forgetting that her stiff reaction was also because of the other party's intentions.On the other hand, she secretly imagined that if she inadvertently showed love to the boy beside her, but he took her "perception" as an "illusion", she would definitely be in great pain.

Obviously she was in pain, but because they were so close, she would definitely smile at him.

She doesn't want this.

She herself understood this pain very well, so she decided to face Sasaki head-on.

"Listen to her, are you troubled?"

"Eh...? No, nothing."

The expression on his face was too unnatural, and he was really not good at lying.Then she thought that she, who naturally concealed her true feelings and protected herself with lies, was the strange one.

"Your expression is not that of 'nothing'."

He looked more distressed than before, and when she couldn't bear to ask him to stop talking, she heard him say a word.

"If there's something that bothers me, it's... I'm thinking about someone."

"Whose business?" Chika Haneda asked quickly, and then quickly added: "No... I mean, what is it?"

"It's not something worth talking about."

"……yes?"

At dusk, the shadows of the two people reflected on the ground did not overlap, and the masters of the shadows also had their own thoughts.

However, the day when their shadow hands hold each other again may not be far away.

The author has something to say: One update, I don’t know how many updates I have promised, but I don’t update because I feel like vomiting blood because I am too busy.

Recently, I feel that Monday is the limit. Anyway, you can see that according to the progress of 02, it is almost finished. After school starts, I am so busy... I have done some things like being late for school and failing to hand in homework. ...But I won't give up, don't worry.
