Chapter 19 A Disturbing Coincidence
I, who once thought my world would always be dark, finally decided to take this step forward.If you don't rely on your own hands to grasp the light that shines into your eyes, you will sink into it forever.
I hesitated whether to open my heart to people I know well, such as Eriko who has always been very concerned about me.It's just that if I use her as an experimenter, will I be too selfish?
I am vacillating in fear and anxiety, but even so, as long as I muster up the courage and move forward in the direction of light, there will always be a place for me under the blue sky.
Misfortune doesn't stay with one person for long, I began to think so.
And just two days later, I got a new part-time job, which is the daily morning newspaper.This job is easy to say that it is not easy, it is necessary to get up two hours earlier than usual every day.However, it is always a good thing to change the status quo, although the opportunity to get this part-time job was that Mr. Fujita, who was originally doing this job, suddenly fell ill, so I replaced it.
The morning street air is exceptionally clear, and for convenience, I wear my tacky tracksuit and ride my bicycle along the edge of the sidewalk.
There is no one on the side of the road, and under the tranquility, you can occasionally hear the chirping of early cicadas belonging to Xia.The shimmering sky looks especially beautiful at the moment.
Maybe it's because my thoughts have changed, and I feel unexpectedly relaxed.Occasionally, I would meet the head of the household who was also an early riser. When I stuffed the newspaper into the mailbox, they would smile and say good morning to me.
After arriving at the next destination, I couldn't help but stop and watch in front of this completely peaceful building.It's a little rare. A Japanese-style building of this scale must be from a family?Out of curiosity, before stuffing the newspaper into the mailbox, I paid special attention to the surname plate at the door.
Sanada.
This surname naturally aroused my impression not long ago. I met a man named Genichiro Sanada two days ago.But... it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?And the person who walked out of the door in the next second immediately verified that sometimes some things are full of coincidences.
With a straight figure and a serious face, Sanada is wearing a kendo uniform, and his expression is still serious and decent, which is really his style.
When I met Sanada's gaze, it wasn't just me who was surprised. When he saw me, a trace of surprise flashed in his sharp eyes.
"Morning... Good morning, Sanada-san." I felt a little uncomfortable being scanned by gazes like scrutiny.I'm not a person who likes to take the initiative to talk, out of politeness, I immediately said good morning to Sanada to break the strange atmosphere of the silence.
"Morning." Sanada nodded to me, and then, looking past me, stopped on the bicycle behind me, "Is Aihara-san in charge of today's morning paper?"
"Well, Mr. Fujita is sick, and there is no way to come in a short time." Standing in front of Sanada, I always feel that I am overwhelmed by an inexplicable aura, and I will unconsciously start to regulate my words and deeds.Looking at Sanada's always serious face, I bowed to him, "Mr. Fujita's job will be replaced by me during this time, please give me your advice in the future!"
"Please advise me more." Sanada replied solemnly.
"Then, let's take my leave!" The newspaper has not been delivered yet, and there is no more time for me to stay here.
After handing the newspaper to Sanada, I stepped on the bicycle again, but before stepping on the pedal, Sanada stopped me, "Aihara-san, please wait!"
I turned around, and Sanada quickly walked in front of me, but with his unshakable and serious expression, it was impossible to guess what he wanted to say next.The intersection with Sanada is nothing more than the help he gave me two days ago, and a series of favors I owed, maybe he stopped me to remind me not to forget the money for the ingredients?
"Ah, if it's the money for the ingredients, I don't know if I can get the salary from the post office in advance, but don't worry Sanada-san. If it's possible, I'll give it to you when the newspaper is delivered tomorrow morning. If not, I might have to Wait until the end of the month..."
I said a long list of things, just to make Sanada not worry.Sanada listened to my description quietly, until the end of the sentence, I also realized whether I was a little wordy.
The voice faded away, but Sanada's powerful voice uttered a rhetorical question that seemed to be completely off topic with me: "Is that really the case?"
"what?"
Sanada glanced at my puzzled expression at this moment, he paused for a while, and said again with his cello-like solemn tone: "Excuse me, is Aihara-san short of money?"
I never thought that Sanada would ask such a straightforward question. For a while, I was too embarrassed to answer, and I just blushed and nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry, I... don't know how to express it." Sanada noticed my reaction and became embarrassed. After a two-second pause, he spoke again, "The sword dojo at home is not manned enough. If possible, Aihara-san Would you like to help?"
"Eh?"
"On weekends, hourly wages are calculated."
"Eh?!"
It's not that I didn't understand what Sanada said, on the contrary, I clearly captured all the important information.Weekends, part-time jobs, hourly wages, this kind of opportunity is like being favored by the goddess of luck for me. I can't believe what I'm hearing.
"Is it inconvenient?"
"No, no, no! No problem at all!" My heart was so excited that I was about to scream, maybe I was so excited that even my hands began to tremble, "Thank you, Sanada-san, thank you very much!"
After thanking me again, I was about to step on the pedal to leave, but I was so excited that I stepped on the pedal empty.The edge of the pedal scraped across my ankle, and a burning pain spread through my calf. I couldn't stabilize my figure because of the pain, and I fell to the ground together with the car.
Before propping up his body, Sanada's iconic words came from above: "It's so slack!"
There will be such a mistake, I am a little carried away.I barely thought and blurted out the apology, "I'm sorry..."
At this time, I suddenly understood Akaya-kun's mood very well. The latter kept apologizing when he was on the phone with Sanada... because this apology was basically spontaneous.
shameful……
I didn't dare to look at Sanada's expression again, and the next second I got up from the ground, I quickly left on my bicycle.I didn't stop until I lost sight of Sanada's house, and I pulled up my trousers to check the part that was scratched by the pedals just now.
A large piece of skin was scratched, and the whole piece was glowing red, and the broken part was even oozing with blood.After I saw it clearly, I felt more pain. The wound was much more serious than I imagined.
"Ah, it's so troublesome..." I frowned and stared at the wound for a while. The details of the skin seemed to be magnified. It was obviously a small wound, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt numb.
I pulled down my trousers to cover the wound.It's just a minor injury, and I don't pay attention to it anymore, "Forget it..."
It was getting late, the sun was not as early as in the morning, and it was already a bit scorching hot on the body.After looking at the newspapers that had not been delivered by the bicycle, I stepped on the pedal vigorously, and had to complete the final task as soon as possible.

Because this was the first day I took this job, I didn't adapt to the suddenly changed pace of life.Although waking up early is still a refreshing thing, but after finishing the work of delivering the newspaper, when it was time for class, the sudden surge of sleepiness made me so tired that I lay down on the table and didn't even want to move.
At this time, the head teacher had already walked to the podium, and I was still lying on the table, listening to the sound of Eriko smashing and stealing snacks diagonally in front of me.However, the head teacher did not start teaching directly, he explained a few questions about the exchange students.After hearing the name of the exchange student, I could no longer lie on the table calmly and continue to fall asleep.
Ayu Shibai.
I sat up straight and turned my gaze to the podium, and it was indeed the Shibai I met in the alley that day.She was wearing the school uniform of another school, and her well-groomed attire made her already beautiful appearance even more peaceful.
Eriko also stopped chewing snacks, and looked at the girl on the podium with her long mouth.
"I'm Ayu Shibai, an exchange student at the High School Affiliated to Likai University. I will be here for a week from today. Please give me your advice."
Soon someone in the class whispered comments such as "you look so beautiful" and "so cute". It is undeniable that Ayu Shibai does have a beautiful appearance.
I propped my face up and changed into a more labor-saving posture, looking at Chai Jing's familiar face, but I couldn't recall any other intersections with her other than that day in the alley, or rather, this kind of Is the inexplicable sense of familiarity just an illusion?
I met the same person by coincidence for several days, be it Sanada or Shibai, too many coincidences made me uneasy, and I even began to doubt whether it was artificial or not?For example, Yutian suddenly found out about the incident in Tokyo. In the final analysis, it was because Uraxia saw me and went to Yutian to investigate my information.
Shibai was arranged by the class teacher in the empty seat on my left, and became the next table with me, Eriko's back table.
I nodded to her and greeted her politely.She smiled, and after tidying up the books, she turned her body sideways and said forcefully, "Please give me your advice, Aihara-san."
Such a tone made me feel a little uncomfortable. I looked at her unmistakable smiling face, and just frowned blindly.
She met my gaze without avoiding it, widened her smile, parted her pretty thin lips slightly, and then mouthed to me word by word.
murderer……
After reading her mouth shape, it was as if her body had been thrown into the ice, and while she was so stiff that she couldn't move, there was a burst of ice piercing through her body.
Nightmarish memories once again filled the brain, the whispers of other people, Eriko's chewing of stealing snacks, seemed to be sucked away at this moment.The melody of the torrential rain rang in my ears, and Shibai's face gradually distorted before my eyes.
... Is that all you have sincerity?
Kneel down and beg me...
Another voice sounded in my mind, which was already considered far away to me. The humiliation of kneeling in the rain was like a sharp sword, stabbing my chest one after another.
Suddenly, I remembered Sanada's description of Shibai. Shibai's sister died more than half a year ago.
Why can't you think of it?Why are you only thinking about it now?Looking at the familiar face that appeared on Shibai's face, it's true...
I stood up suddenly, and the chair fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound on the metal edge and the ground.I propped my hands on the table, and my body trembled slightly.
"Lan Yuan, what's wrong with you?" The head teacher looked at me with his brows furrowed.
"I'm sorry, teacher. I'm not feeling well. I'm going to the health room."
Regardless of whether the head teacher agreed or not, I turned around and walked out of the classroom, like running away.
I hesitated whether to open my heart to people I know well, such as Eriko who has always been very concerned about me.It's just that if I use her as an experimenter, will I be too selfish?
I am vacillating in fear and anxiety, but even so, as long as I muster up the courage and move forward in the direction of light, there will always be a place for me under the blue sky.
