I don't have a chance to go to Tokyo this time. "

This one has not been answered for a long time, I guess he probably didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything at all.

Thinking of the previous conversation, maybe he was feeling sorry for me.Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no regret, but just thinking like this cannot change the reality, so it is better to let nature take its course.

I'm not a very persistent person, let alone the current me, and I don't have the capital to do whatever I want.

Soon after that came the end of term.I reduced my working hours, and Sawada and the others seemed to finish the group work almost as well, so we didn't see each other for a whole month.

At the end of July, I sent a photo to Tsunayoshi Sawada standing on the mountain road leading to Kasuga Taisha Shrine.

In the picture, you can see the orange-red shrine under the shade of mountains and trees. There are ancient stone lamps standing beside the road. The sunlight penetrates the shadow of the trees and falls on the stone road. Akari and Tou are standing in front of me and waving to me.

I wrote this line under the photo: "As long as we are together, wherever we go is the same."

Goal seventeen from here forward

After the school trip, it's summer vacation.

Tou still took on a lot of jobs this year and spent all day running outside.My arrangement is also similar to previous years. In addition to the part-time job in the restaurant, there are other temporary part-time jobs, plus homework and homework, almost every day is fully arranged.

Therefore, the past two months passed very quickly, and when I was finally free, it was already the beginning of school.It didn't take long before the route survey form was sent out.

As for my future ambitions, of course I want to continue my university studies. I discussed this with Tou before choosing a high school.After all, Zhibei is a prestigious school with a high enrollment rate, and the students who come here basically have this idea.

But which university should I go to in the future?

When I was waiting for the bus at the station earlier, I still couldn’t help asking Mingli what she meant. She chewed her gum and thought for a while, then seriously replied: “As expected, I should go to the National University next door. I came to a famous university and it's close to home."

"Tou also means that..." I lowered my head and looked at my toes, took a deep breath and let it out, "If I choose to go to other places, he will definitely ignore me in this life."

Mingli was obviously taken aback, and said in astonishment, "Are you going somewhere else?"

I raised my head to look at her, and nodded slowly: "I did think about it like this before...but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's feasible."

Her mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something, I didn't wait for her to ask, and continued, "I don't think it's time to leave everyone. Mother nun is getting old, and the oldest girl besides me My Xiaoyou will only be in high school next year. If I go far away, the only one who can take care of the orphanage is Tou. And..." I pouted and glanced at Mingli quickly, "If I go to other places, I will I'm going to be separated from you..."

The girl let out a "puchi" laugh, and at the same time raised her hand to hold my head and rubbed it hard: "Although I really want to say, you don't need to think so much, but this is also your strength." She sighed and blinked suddenly. She blinked, "Of course, personally, I still hope you will accompany me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bus slowly drove into the station.Mingli pushed me to the side of the car, waved his hands exaggeratedly and said: "Okay, the car is here, see you tomorrow!"

I can still think of the face she tried not to show disappointment just now, and I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.Sure enough, let's think about it in the long run. For now, let's collect the information of the university next door.

After making up my mind, I also breathed a sigh of relief. I just turned to the window to see how long it would take to arrive, but I didn't expect to see the familiar platform moving backwards quickly at the first sight.

——Oh my god, it's unscientific to sit and stand!

I had no choice but to get out of the car at the next stop and walk back with my schoolbag.Fortunately, the distance between these two stations is not very far, and the time is still early.

The sunset light fell all over the place, the cool wind rustled through the leaves, and elementary school students ran past on the pedestrian path in the residential area from time to time. Looking at them, I thought of what happened when I was a child without warning.

In fact, I was alone for a long time, because my mother never cared about me, and I didn't like staying in that dead home, so I would run outside alone every day.But the children nearby don't like to play with me, and they never talk to me, as if I'm some kind of infectious germ, and everyone is afraid to avoid it.

At the beginning, I really thought that I would be alone like this forever, but I met Tou, the first person who was willing to reach out to me.

If it weren't for him, I can't imagine where I would be now, who I would meet, and what kind of person I would be.

What I have so far is luck, and I am what I am because of all the people I have met in the past ten years.I want to fly to the wider world, but I can't leave alone.

While I was in a trance, a strange sound came from the small intersection in front of me. I froze in fright, and hurriedly approached the side of the road, but after waiting for a while, suddenly there was no movement.

At this time, there was no one passing by, so I stayed where I was and hesitated for a while, but I still bravely approached the entrance of the alley where the sound came from.

A telegraph pole just stood next to it, and I clung to it and hid in the corner, poking out half of my face to look around.There was no sunlight in the alley, and the top was blocked by the protruding eaves on both sides, so the light was dim, and I could only see a boy standing inside with his back to me.

As far as the scene was concerned, it was probably bad boys fighting, but the strange thing was that those people lying all over the alley in all directions seemed to be wearing sunglasses to prevent others from recognizing their appearance.

The only standing boy should be a student from his attire. He is not very tall, but he is well-proportioned and has a good figure.The trance figure looked familiar, but I wasn't sure, so I squinted my eyes and looked at it more carefully.

Fortunately, the other party didn't notice me. He seemed to be thinking about something. After propping his knees and taking a few deep breaths, he took a few steps back and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

As soon as he stepped back, his upper body was exposed to the slanting light, and the short brown hair drooped a little messily on top of his head. My heart was shocked, and then the boy's voice sounded: "Reborn, it's me .”

It was a tone I had never heard in his mouth.It seemed to hide some extremely suppressed anger, so it became thick and precipitated, like the deep sea before a storm in the middle of the night.

I don't know what reaction I should make at this time, it's better to say that I can't make any kind of reaction, so I can only continue to hide behind the telephone pole and eavesdrop as before.

After Sawada Tsunayoshi finished that sentence, he didn't continue, probably waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to finish.After a moment of silence, he let out a long breath, and his voice became a little frustrated: "I have already run to the capital, and they are still chasing me. Is this plan really okay?"

"...It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that...if it hurts others..."

"Since I promised my brother, of course I will protect Kyoko-chan!"

"..."

"Huh? Reborn, don't talk nonsense! That kid is still a high school student!"

"Yes, yes, I understand...Let's talk about the rest later, let's go back first."

This is leaving?I have to hide!

I immediately retreated to the wall and looked left and right, but there was nothing close to cover me.The heart was beating even harder, as if it would pop out of his chest if he was not careful.

Seeing that Sawada was about to go out after tidying up the people lying on the ground, I gritted my teeth, took off my shoes and quickly turned into the intersection I just passed. After putting on my shoes again, he also came out of the alley.

The boy looked the same as usual, except that his clothes were a little wrinkled and there seemed to be a few more scratches on his face, he didn't look like he had just been in a fight at all.He was probably a little worried. He stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at both sides for a long time. He turned and walked this way only when he was sure that no one had seen him.

...Wait, won't I be discovered immediately if I hide here?what to do!I'm not ready to meet him yet!

I don't understand why I'm nervous, but I think, he has been acting so polite, he must not want to be seen fighting, right?

Maybe he was a bad boy in the past, and now he has finally corrected himself, only to find out that I know the black history, will he avoid me in the future?Or maybe he has provoked someone who is being hunted down and doesn't want to hurt others. Wouldn't it be very troublesome if he knew that he was seen?

In short, meeting at this time will only make the two of them extremely embarrassed.

This side is extremely entangled, and the sound of his footsteps over there has gradually approached.I hugged my head in pain and backed away step by step, suddenly I had an idea - that's the only way to do it!

I swallowed, quickly tidied up my clothes and skirt, moved back a few steps, and when Sawada was about to come over, I walked forward in the most casual way I usually do.

Before reaching the intersection, the brown-haired boy appeared in front of him.I paused, and he turned his head to look over as if he felt something.At the same time as his eyes fell on me, Sawada's face changed slightly, and there was a mixture of nervousness and fear in those brown eyes.

I didn't think much, and quickly put on a surprised expression, and said with a smile: "Sawada-kun? I didn't expect to meet you here... Did you just finish class too?"

Sawada opened his mouth, but did not speak. He just stared at me with wide eyes for a long time, and then hesitantly asked, "Akutagawa-san? Why are you here..."

"Ah... this..." I scratched my head, a little embarrassed, "
