The scene in his eyes moved backwards, and his vision became blurry.
"Huh……?"
When I realized it, I couldn't stop crying, and big teardrops rolled down my cheeks.
It attracted suspicious glances from passers-by.
"Why……?"
Sayu Ogiwara murmured, wiping her tears with the sleeves of her shirt, but even so, they still poured out endlessly.
His mind was full of images of the unknown girl and Kato Yusuke hugging each other.
"Is she the owner of the floral fragrance?"
The moment this question came to mind, a disgusting emotion immediately arose.
Sayu noticed this and immediately understood what it meant.
"...Haha, no way."
Tears were clearly flowing, but she couldn't help but laugh coldly.
The emotion called jealousy lingers in my heart.
Jealous of the girl she didn't know at all.
Jealous of the other person's intimate behavior with Kato Yusuke.
Sayu Ogiwara even thought arrogantly.
"I hope Kato Yusuke only belongs to me."
"...I'm really...really a..."
My chest hurts so much it feels like it's about to burst.
The pain is immeasurable.
"fool……"
She sobbed quietly and then ran.
"...must leave..."
Where to go?
She doesn't know, it's just——
"You absolutely cannot go back there."
otherwise……
"...If I continue to stay, one day I will definitely hinder Yusuke's happiness."
Boom.
Silver-white lightning flashed across the sky, and it began to rain.
A sad smile appeared on Sayu's face, and she ran through the night against the rain.
She just ran aimlessly, just choosing a direction at will, and then she kept running, and kept running.
He didn't stop until he was exhausted.
Sayu Ogiwara raised her head and found herself on a sparsely populated and slightly dark avenue.
The road in front of me forked. One was a descent leading to a darker place, and the other was a staircase leading upwards. There was an atmosphere that led to a wider place.
She walked up the steps holding on to the railing.
The number of street lights on both sides of the road gradually increased, and the field of view became brighter and brighter. When she finished climbing the stairs, she saw a neat park with lush grass.
There are many wooden benches lined up on the roadside.
There are many apartment buildings around, and the lights of thousands of houses shine through the windows.
There is an open space made of cement a little further away. It seems that this should be a supporting facility for a residential area.
"His ha..."
Sayu Ogiwara breathed a sigh of relief.
The rain wet her clothes, bringing with it a hint of coolness, seeping into her skin, passing through her pores, and then soaking into her heart and spleen, making her shiver.
The skirt was also sticky and stuck to her legs, making it very heavy when walking. Sayu walked to a bench with her hands on her shoulders and sat down directly, ignoring the water on it.
Boom——
Another silver snake pierced through the dark clouds, and instantly revealed a beautiful face. However, the eyes were empty and lifeless, and the body was motionless, like a stone statue.
Hua Hua——
Hua Hua——
The rain kept falling, hitting the treetops, branches and leaves, and the girl's face.
It fell on the ground, in the soil, and in the girl's heart.
In the deserted environment, the girl sat alone on the bench.
His legs were pressed together, his body was curled up, and he couldn't stop trembling.
I do not know how long it has been.
"...he ran away again."
Sayu murmured.
"It's not because of misfortune...it's just because I'm too happy." She said intermittently: "But as long as I think that one day that person will no longer need me...and will be abandoned by him, I will..."
Substantial sadness filled the body, and the fingertips turned white due to excessive exertion.
"...So you can't go back, you can't think about it, you can't trouble that person again..."
"The only option is to escape, just like last month... No, it should be from a long time ago... After all, I am very good at escaping."
She sniffed, forced a smile from her face, and spoke in a deliberately brisk tone.
"Run away, run away, keep running away from the things you are afraid of, not knowing how far you can go, just to continue to "sit back and wait for death" and take various actions, and in the end you are in a situation where you can't get any answers.
Stay alive..."
"Sayu, Sayu, haven't you always done this? So this time too..."
Tears fell from his face like broken beads, mixed with the rain and fell to the ground.
"……Huh?"
Sayu lowered his eyes, raised his palms, stared blankly at the tears held in his palms, and then hurriedly wiped his eyes with his hands.
"You can't... Why are you crying? You've obviously made your decision. If Yusuke sees you like this..."
There was a pause for a few seconds.
"...Yusuke..."
She murmured, her nose sore.
"I want to go back, I want to go back to that person..."
Putting his hands together and holding them on his face, warm tears spread from between his fingers.
"I'm so unwilling...I don't want to be separated from that person like this, so please...please..."
The little body couldn't stop shaking, and the girl's voice was filled with sobs.
"...Yusuke, please find me..."
The words carrying the girl's sincere prayers were carried into the rain and into the wind, and I don't know where they will fly.
Oh no!
The shaking sound of clothes sounded above her head, and a black single-breasted uniform jacket was draped over her body, still carrying some residual warmth.
The fresh mint aroma enveloped her, a smell she was familiar with.
The slender fingers as green as green gently parted, and what came into view was a pair of dark brown leather shoes, covered with mud spots.
Sayu Ogiwara raised her head and met a pair of eyes as dark as ink. Something unknown whether it was sweat or rain was flowing down the other person's cheeks to his chin.
He was still wearing the dark blue shirt he wore while working, and his whole body was soaked like a drowned rat. The clothes clung to his skin, highlighting his toned figure.
With an expression on his face that Ogiwara Sayu had never seen before, the boy looked directly into her eyes and said calmly.
"Let's go home."
As he spoke, the other party passed his hands behind her back and behind her legs.
A small exclamation came out of her mouth, and when Ogiwara Sayu reacted, she was already being hugged by the other party.
With an expression on his face that he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, Sayu stared at the face in front of him intently, as if he wanted to engrave it in his heart.
"Yusuke..."
She said with sobs, and lay obediently in the other person's arms. She put her hands around Kato Yusuke's neck, then brought her head to her and kissed her passionately.
The soft lips were a little cold and tasted salty.
