Chapter 364: Shikatori Town Murder Case Kurogiri’s Past Memories (Part 1)
"The museum will close in fifteen minutes."
The library librarian's aunt reminded her kindly. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the girl's white side face through the clean window glass, making it look like it was coated with a layer of warm orange light.
There were only a few people in the library at this time. After hearing the administrator's words, they began to pack their things, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the library.
After all, this is just a library in a small town. Not only is the scale of the building small and pitiful, but there are also not many types of books available.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that no one likes reading. Most people are busy trading stocks and picking up money in the rising stock market. Where do they have time to read these useless books?
Kuroyukihime sighed softly, closed the thick science book in his hand, stretched out his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows, his face was tense, and he felt like he had a headache.
For her, who is still in elementary school, the content in the book is still too obscure, and she has only a limited understanding of it.
But it doesn't matter. Even if you can't understand this knowledge now, you will always understand it in the future. You just need to keep working hard.
After leaving the door of the library, I saw a thin black-haired boy standing next to the door, talking and laughing with someone. When he saw Kurogiri flowers coming out, he waved to her, and then said goodbye to his little girl.
Partner, trotted over quickly.
"Flowers, let's go home quickly. Mom made delicious fried fish today. If we don't hurry up, it will get cold."
The young man spoke with familiarity, Kurogiri's face showed an expressionless indifference.
This boy's name is Mikiya Kurogiri, and he is his brother in name only. The reason why he is in name is because he lives in his house.
"Um."
Out of politeness, Kuroyukihime finally nodded. Seeing her reply, Kurogiri Mikiya also had a happy smile on his face, and then he held Kurogiri Hanashi's hand.
Kuroyukihime subconsciously wanted to break away, but in the end she didn't do that. She just sighed softly in her heart and followed him on the way home under the sunset.
………
………
"I don't want that, I want to be different."
When he was very young, Kuroyukihime remembered that he had said such words to his father, but he could not remember exactly when it happened. It must have been a very far away time, so far away that he could not even think about the appearance of his father and himself.
Can't get up.
Ever since she had independent consciousness and memory, she has liked the word "unique", and even has a morbid liking for it. Just like being bound and instinctively pursuing freedom, she is also pursuing uniqueness.
Kuroyukihime couldn't explain the reason why she likes this word, but to put it bluntly, even if the West can't leave Jerusalem, she can't leave Unique either.
All in all, she just doesn't want to live an ordinary life like the people around her.
The kind of waking up that is natural, living that is natural, sleeping that is natural, and even dying that is natural... Such a life that can be seen to the end at a glance makes her feel disgusted and afraid.
She believed that her life should not be lived like this and that she should be different than anyone else. However, children who studied in elementary school did not understand what special was at all, so they always believed that being better than those around them meant being different.
So in order to become an adult as soon as possible, Kurogiri Kawasaki gave up the short childhood period that allowed for innocence, and used the knowledge she learned as a weapon. At the same time, she pretended to be an ordinary child to the people around her, and by doing so, she became
Even more special than other children of the same age.
Because her grades were unexpectedly outstanding, her teachers often praised her as a "genius" and "child prodigy", but she didn't take kindly to the teacher's compliments.
Although geniuses and prodigies are special human beings, if we expand the scope to the entire human atmosphere, there are many people who can be called geniuses and prodigies, so they are not special at all.
What Kurogiri Flowers is looking forward to is not such a shallow thing. It doesn't matter if she is not the first, or it doesn't matter if she is the last. It has nothing to do with what she expects.
What she expected was something special that could not be described in words, something special that surpassed all ordinary things.
In order to pursue this special thing, Kurogiri gave up a lot of things and began to gradually lose touch with her surroundings. The result made her very satisfied. After she gave up more things, in addition to teachers and friends, even her parents began to treat her.
Keep a respectful distance.
So she was sent to Kurogiri Mikiya's home.
The original reason was that Kurogiri Mikiya's mother wanted a daughter, but unfortunately due to physical problems, she could no longer have a second child. She originally planned to adopt her at an orphanage, but in the end it was Kurogiri Kawasaki.
The parents took the initiative to ask for adoption.
This behavior is essentially abandonment, but Kurogane Flowers doesn't care about this. It doesn't matter whether it's abandonment or adoption. Anyway, she has achieved a calm self.
It was a wonderful feeling. Although she was not back to the original point, she could gradually feel that she was close to the original place before birth.
It didn't matter whether it was right or wrong, just because it made her feel comfortable. She didn't think about whether it was good or bad, or what the consequences would be.
However, after her adoption, she met her "brother", a man who was completely different from herself. If the only special thing she pursued was this boy named Mikiya Kurogiri, he was so ordinary.
You can no longer be an ordinary person.
Although she has moved to a new home, her behavior of pursuing something special has not changed. The children of the same age in the streets around her make her feel extremely childish. Just being together is already a kind of torture.
So Kurogiri Hana tried his best to avoid them, and was always alone, either going to the library to read, or playing alone in a hidden "stronghold" in the park.
And Kuroyuki Miki would come to pick her up every day and talk nonsense about her when she was playing with other people. He said this every time.
Kurogiri Hana sneered at Kurogiri Mikiya's words. An ordinary person like him couldn't understand the happiness of being alone, so she hated the boy who came to pick her up.
At the same time, it's not just hate, she also despises Mikiya Kurogiri from the bottom of her heart because of his ordinaryness.
His bad attitude must be felt by his "brother". But even so, Kuroyuki Miki doesn't care about it. He will still come to pick up Kurogiri's flowers and go home, talking to her without considering any gain or loss, and holding hands with her.
Her hand takes her home.
Although it was something that a brother would do, Kurogiri Flowers didn't think it was special. Based on her understanding of her brother, even if he was a strange child from another family, he would still do this.
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with anything special, just like the transparent air that can be seen everywhere.
