Ya: "Really, look, Lida, I know you are very happy. You keep looking at the ring blankly...it's snowing."

Lida "...Snow?" Ye Yin: "It fell at the end." Snowflakes were flying one after another. Because of the cold, even if the snow fell on the ground, it would not melt and it would slowly accumulate.

.If we continue at this speed, there will definitely be thick snow accumulated by morning.

Ya "... I wish you a Merry Christmas, Ye Yin:" Ye Yin: "Well, Merry Christmas" I didn't turn around.

Lida "......Ye Yin: Sir, thank you very much!" Lida said in such a serious tone, she must have bowed deeply to me. I shook my hand at them and continued like this.

Walked out. In this late night, only the snowflakes shined with white light, and the sky covered with stars was now covered by clouds. Ye Yin: "...Looking like this, the stars seem to be really falling.

How does it feel?" I muttered to myself.

Ya "I still didn't come back in the end, that guy..." As Lida and I watched from afar, Ye Yin: slowly disappeared into the snowflakes.

Ya "..." her eyes fell on the ring on her hand. It shone silvery under the light of the house... Which one should I wear? Although I thought about it for a while,

But after seeing Ye Yin leaving, I decided naturally. After putting it on, the size was just right. As if it had been accurately calculated, the ring was accommodated by my finger.

Ya "Leda" I stretched out my left hand with the ring on it to Leda.

Ya "I put it on here"

Lida "Miss..." Lida seemed to be still in a dilemma. The eyes looking at me shook slightly, and her brows furrowed a little. But that didn't mean she was confused from the bottom of her heart, but it made me feel

She was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

"Okay, Lida, put it on too~ put it on~"

Lida: "Yes, but..."

Ya "Okay ~ give me that!"

I carefully took the small box over and took the ring out of it.

Ya "come on, stretch out your hand"

Lida: "But, but Miss, wearing it here is too......"

"Where can I put it on? Isn't this our freedom?" Lida was still resisting. I grabbed Lida's left hand and forcibly put it on her ring finger.

Lida "Little Miss!"

After Ya was satisfied with "That's it," I let go of Lida's hand.

Lida: "Miss, this will change the meaning of the gift!"

Ya: "It doesn't matter. How could that guy notice this? He is obviously very smart, but he is actually very slow in key areas~"

Lida: "But, but..." Lida was speechless and looked towards the direction in which Ye Yin: left. Ye Yin: could no longer be seen in the front of the road. The back had melted into the snow of the night.

bingo.

Lida "..." Lida took a deep breath and exhaled it. She held the ring on her left hand with her right hand, and then hugged it tightly to her chest.

It was not the hair ornaments or rings that flashed in Leda's "Miss...", but the tears she shed.

Lida "I, I..."

Then Lida hugged her left hand more tightly. Seeing that look, I knew what Lida was thinking and wanted to say.

Ya: "......Yeah. I know. After all, he is the man who stole my heart."

Lida "Always... because she is the object of Miss's liking... No, no... I always think so. But..."

Linglida's tears fell one drop at a time, and as she lowered her head slightly, the hair ornament made another sound.

Lida "But..."

Ya: "I'm like this too. I've always thought about it, so strange, so strange... But in the end, there is only one answer."

Lida: "Yesterday, really until yesterday, I had never felt this way."

Lida "Obviously thinking in her heart... I would be very happy to be able to serve the young lady and Hagakure: Sir..." Lida wiped away her tears with her right hand.

Lida: "But why now, not only the lady, but also hope that he can love me too..."

(Ya "...First love?" I let my eyes leave Lida and stretched out my hands from the eaves. Then I spread my hands flat and let the snowflakes fall on it. The snowflakes melted immediately under the body temperature.

Lida "Yes..."

Ya: "Me too.........Yes. You shouldn't have time to fall in love...right?"

Looking back, the memories are like those of a girl, starting in the spring of this year. Before that, I was just trying my best. I had no place in the family, and Lida was still an orphan even though she was raised by the Kazamatsu ruler.

.In the past 10 years, Lida and I have been working hard as two people. In order to create our own place, we have desperately crossed the cruel reality and irrelevant others. In front of us, Ye

Yin: Appeared. At first, as usual, I thought he was another obstacle. He never listened to my orders and always contradicted me. Therefore, Ye Yin: is the most annoying person I have ever seen.

But I don’t know when I started to understand the correctness of Ye Yin. Then after I recognized him, I started to go out with all my strength. It was like magic. I understood the world and the kindness of people. I understood that if I don’t go here

If I refuse, the other person will respond to me accordingly. I hate my stupid behavior a little bit. Then one day I suddenly realize how much I like him.

"There's no need to worry about it, Lida. Lida and I both love that guy, isn't that great?" So I understand Lida's feelings very, very well. It must be the same as what I feel in my heart. Because I

Lida and I have been walking together. Lida also feels that we need Ye Yin.

Lida: "......But Miss, will there be a place for us next to him?"

"I don't know. I don't know why, but that guy only has that limit that he won't cross." I held my left hand tightly.

Ya “worked so hard for us and gave us such a special gift”

Ya "But something seems to have stopped his steps, and he will not let him get close to us again no matter what." This is something I have felt for a long time. I love him, and he himself should understand it. I understand but

Not responding, but not rejecting. Now he just accepts us.

Lida "......Ye Yin: My lord said this one day, I shouldn't be able to fly forward with you. Because I don't have such wings myself." Ye Yin, who was born and grew up very ordinary:

, and you don’t have money or power. So you can’t accept us? Because you can’t protect us?

Ya "Lida...probably not like that, maybe, that's just an excuse."

Ya "I think Ye Yin: If he doesn't express it, he must be hiding his true feelings without realizing it."

Lida "Real feeling..."

Ya "Isn't that the case? If he was a man who backed down because of his background, upbringing, money and power, he wouldn't have supported us until now."

Ya "kneel down under all my instructions, like everyone else, and only obey me on the surface" But Hagakure: Not so. That kind of tenacious will can't be destroyed by anything.

Ya "And the incident with Yuki and Mishima"

Ya: "That guy obviously has nothing, but he still uses his own power to naturally fight. He is that kind of guy."

Lida: "...Now that we're here, are you still hesitating?"

Ya "...Yeah, there must be a reason for him. He can't accept our real reason." Lida and I naturally discovered the oasis in Hagakure. But of course it was just a mirage. Because he had already

gone back.

"What are Lida so afraid of...?"

Ya: "I don't know. I don't know if we can lift the veil, but if we don't, that guy will definitely not be happy in the future."

Lida “Miss…………”

Ya "Are you happy...? It's incredible. I actually want others to be happy."

) I used to think that everyone else was my enemy. But it’s different now. That guy’s happiness, Lida’s happiness. And maybe I also hope that all the students here can be happy.

Ya "When you fall in love with someone, this is what happens, right?"

Lida "I don't quite understand...because this is my first time...but Miss"

Ya "Huh?"

Lida "I will, no, I will also love Hagakure: Your Excellency. Only this is absolutely true."

"Me too. I love...him..." It was snowing thickly on Christmas night. The accumulated snow layer was like the ring on my left hand, shining with silver brilliance.

"But I've already gone back. That guy... shouldn't have noticed..."

Lida "...yes"

This is what happened only that quiet night.

Ye Yin: "Ya's face seems very melancholy."

Ya: "...That's...how can I be happy when I go to see my parents who want to abandon me?" Ya showed a sad face in the car.

The next thing we have to attend is the New Year's party of the Kaze Matsuri family. This is a banquet that gathers relatives and related business leaders to consolidate their strength. We are on the way to the venue now. By the way, this is the first time I saw this.

She was a little frightened when we were driving, but she has calmed down now. I'm afraid she didn't feel anything strange at this time last year, or she was very happy to attend the banquet. But this year she is no longer like this.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Lida: "Miss, please be patient for a little longer. This is also a rare and precious time to meet your family..."

Ya "You are the only ones in my family." What Miss Lida said did not shake Ya's heart.

Ya: "...Hey... you shouldn't go? Forget it. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not anyway." Ye Yin: "Ya -" I pressed her face with both hands.

Ya "Ye Yin:, Ye Yin:?" Ye Yin: "It's scary, I understand this indescribable feeling, but if you don't go, you will definitely regret it? And you are already here" from school
