I have found out your real name

Chapter 216 The Pillar of Condensation of Stars
The bicycle bell made a pleasant sound, and the bicycle stopped at the edge of the road after a roundabout turn.

There was not even a car going back and forth on the road late at night. Only the dim yellow light of the street lights fell on the bus signs on the roadside, like rounds of the moon looking up from the bottom of the pond.

For young primary school students, they already have a vague impression of the concept of "remoteness", but how to quantify it is still a thorny issue - for example, the two people who set off at noon certainly did not expect to reach their destination at night. .

The backseat passenger clutched drowsily at his clothes to keep from tumbling out during the stop.

Today she was wearing a light blue short-sleeved round-neck skirt with a ribbon tie at the placket. The skirt that hung below her knees revealed a small section of her fair calves. She was wearing sneakers as if she was preparing to participate in a party. Spring outing.

"Already arrived, Light."

Li Wu pushed his friend who he had known for three years. She opened her almost squinted eyes and looked at the surrounding scene in confusion like a newly weaned kitten. After about a minute, she finally focused. onto him.

"I'm so hungry..."

"Even if you keep shouting, I won't be able to get food."

"Can't you change it?"

She looked at him expectantly.

"...There seems to be a piece of chocolate I bought at the convenience store at noon."

The food reserves originally prepared for the return trip were about to escape.

Li Wu thought sadly until something sticky was stuffed into his mouth.

The soft palm pressed against the lips, and the sweet taste of chocolate seemed to remain on it.

"Half for you."

Guang took back his hand and felt inexplicably proud, "Xiao Wu, remember to be prepared in advance next time."

"Who promised that he would be there soon?"

Guang Guang, who was scolded, let out a short strange cry, probably feeling a little guilty, so he put his hands away and lowered his head with a guilty conscience, showing a sincere attitude of pleading guilty.

Seeing her like this, it was hard to say anything. He sighed: "Forget it, it's rare for graduation to happen like this anyway. Let's go there now?"

"Oh - set off for the tower deep in the stars!"

She became energetic all of a sudden, and the sleepiness she felt just now was gone.

"Yes, we are going to defeat the Ragus Black Flame Dragon sealed at the top!"

In terms of results, the two of them are evenly matched in a sense.

However, it is the privilege of children to let their delusions go and embark on an adventure that is quite amazing for them now.

At night, the unremarkable tower-like building during the day also adds a bit of mysterious majesty, like a Cyclops standing silently in the darkness, watching the tourists who come to visit.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, far away from the familiar campus, even far away from the warmth of home, under the cold white moonlight, in the summer of the sixth grade of elementary school, the boy and the girl held hands and walked towards each other. The architecture of the Magic Tower poses a challenge.

Li Wu, who stepped on the last rusty long ladder crossbar under his feet and climbed to the top of the tower first, turned around and stretched out his hand to pull her up.

Naturally, there is no black flame dragon on the top. Only the oval water tank reflects the starlight and is coated with a vague silver glow.The railings surround the small space at the top of the tower, as if you are in a prison cell, with the evening breeze whistling through the gaps.

This is normal. The world has always been running in an ordinary and stable manner, and there will be no huge changes due to the fantasy of a primary school student.

However, his friend may not be able to accept this fact calmly.

Li Wu glanced at Guang secretly and found that she indeed looked disappointed.

After reaching the top, I realized how boring and cramped it was.

It was obvious that she suddenly said at the graduation ceremony that she wanted to see the stars, and then dragged him to the distant suburbs. After arriving, she felt depressed.

He patted her shoulder: "Close your eyes first."

"What are you going to do?"

Although she asked this question, she still closed her eyelids obediently.

In the darkness, Guang felt that the other party was approaching. He clenched his fists nervously and his slender eyelashes trembled slightly.

She didn't understand where this emotion mixed with subtle fear came from, but she followed its guidance, arched her back, and was always ready to escape.

Then she realized her hand was being held.

"Come here."

It was just that.

The body made a big circle under the guidance, and then was pulled down to lie down, with a solid support behind its back.

"Okay, you can open your eyes!"

Want to go back...

"Ah...it's a star."

"That's all your thoughts?"

The friend lying next to her was shocked by her rather bland reaction, but in fact, she was just too immersed in what she saw in front of her.

The rose-colored light belt stretches across the center of the night sky, as if it is constantly rotating, giving people an almost dizzy look. The whole is made up of stars that shine on a time scale of millions of years or even longer. The light they bloomed a long time ago passed through the vast and deep space, and reflected in the eyes of a girl on the earth at this moment a long time later.

"The ones in the east are so bright."

The water storage tank that was wrapped around the back blocked the night wind, and the light raised its hand to point to the southeast sky.

Li Wu rested his head on his right hand and connected them with one hand: "This is the so-called Summer Triangle, the one composed of Altair, Vega, and Spica."

(*actually Deneb, Altair and Vega.)
"Xiao Wu knows so much, what are the stars next to it?"

"Ying, it should be Cancer."

(*actually Ophiuchus.)
"Corpse Qi Underworld Wave! Then go sideways to the left..."

"Didn't Guang say he wanted to see the stars before? How do you feel after seeing them now?"

He quickly changed the subject.

She became quiet, then stood up from a sitting position, changed her posture and continued to look up at the stars.

"Like the sea."

"The sea?"

"Well, the thing that shines is the thing on the head of the ugly fish at the bottom of the sea."

"Monkfish?"

Li Wu agreed with her assessment of the fish.

There should be no one in the world who likes such an ugly fish.

"Then, after seeing the stars, I felt that no one is special."

"...?"

Isn't this the same symptom she had three years ago?

This is a relapse of an old disease.

"Who are you referring to?"

Dr. Li probed cautiously.

"All mankind or something like that."

The size of the group you dragged into the water this time was unexpectedly large!It’s time to hold a press conference to apologize to all mankind!
On the other hand, she has now changed from "I am not special" to "Stop arguing, everyone is just as bad". Is this considered progress?

"Why does Hikari think so?"

She looked over: "Didn't the teacher say that the earth is the same as the stars you see at night?"

"There should still be a difference between planets and stars - I won't make any excuses, just keep talking."

Light snorted and continued: "There are so many stars, just like there are so many people in the world, no one is truly special."

I see, this is what his father told him, the first awakening of a teenager's self-awareness.

The boy her age was thinking seriously.

"Can you see B612?"

he asked.

Guang carefully looked at the night sky and concluded: "I can't see it. It's an asteroid, too small."

It's as big as the earth, and you can't see it even if it doesn't emit light.

"Anyway, that's where Light was from before he came to Earth as an alien..."

"Ugh-"

She blushed and bumped her shoulder, trying to interrupt the black history execution session.Li Wu parried the collision attack and explained: "Listen to me, there are roses there that are special to light."

"Not to me."

Hori Rikou denied in a low voice.

Li Wu followed his kindness and said: "Okay, not to you, but to the little prince. After he came to the earth, he also met a whole garden of roses, but only the one on the star made him worried. Do you know why? "

"Xiao Wu looks like a Chinese teacher."

Hikaru complained, "I remember Mr. Fox telling him that it was because he was tamed by that rose."

It seems that she has not forgotten the content of the picture book she read a few years ago.

"Yes, because the little prince spent a long time watering her, removing insects, erecting screens, listening to her resentments and boasts, and spent a long time together, that's why that rose is different from other roses."

Li Wutu hesitated, "So I think 'special' is not something that is naturally determined like height, short, fat, or thin. For example, Aunt Xizi is special to Guang, right?"

This is my last word of treatment, Guang, just accept it!

Looking at the stunned girl next door, he felt a sense of satisfaction that was close to being a good teacher.

Then, ignoring the dust on her skirt, she propped herself up on her knees and came closer.

"……Uh?"

At a close enough distance, even if she could only rely on the dim moonlight as a light source, she could clearly see her white and childish face, and even the tiny fluff on it.

He backed up and leaned against the water tank, but the opponent was still advancing step by step, and there was no way to retreat from behind.

Guang squeezed into the space between his legs, stretched out his hand with a serious expression and grabbed the front of his clothes.

"So, have I 'tamed' Xiao Wu?"

"I always feel a little weird using this word here..."

"We have known each other for three years, am I already 'special' to Xiao Wu?"

The problem cannot be avoided.

"……Yes."

He was stuck for a moment, but finally admitted, "Just take the many stars I saw. If I hadn't come out with you, I would have just thought it was an ordinary sky and wouldn't have been able to identify the Summer Triangle and constellations— —By the way, I actually don’t know if the names of the stars I just mentioned are correct.”

"It is precisely because of the promise we made when we graduated together that they become a special sight tonight."

Once you say it out loud, it will become smoother and smoother, "Although Guang called me for help from time to time after getting into trouble, he always did some strange things. After a fight in school, I helped you take the blame to Aunt Xizi... Hey, think about it this way Why am I always troubled by the light?"

Broken friendship!If you don’t pay your friend fees, I will break up with you tonight!

Guang relaxed and smiled softly: "According to what Xiao Wu just said, this is the process of taming."

"It's the process of causing trouble!"

"Friends are relationships that cause each other trouble."

"I really hope you can say more correct truths like this..."

Li Wu sighed and continued to lie down. Then he heard the sound of Hori Renko lying down next to him, and then his open left hand was pulled and held tightly.

"It's already very late. When should we go back?"

"Wait a minute."

"..."

"I'm very happy to meet Xiao Wu."

"I heard you say this once three years ago, but thank you."

"But Xiao Wu never told me."

There was a dissatisfying pressing feeling on my hand, but because the strength was not strong, it felt like a massage.

"I don't think our friendship needs these formal things - hiss, don't catch me!"

In the darkness, Li Wu turned away.

"I'm also very happy to meet the light."

"Well, thank you."

"...Finally, when we woke up, we found that it was already the next morning. When we returned, we were scolded by our mother."

Li Wu closed the blue-covered book in his hand, but the realistic picture seemed to have not faded from his mind.

Xingkawa Aoi touched her chin and used her wisdom: "This seems to be part of a diary. Who left it?"

"Well, from the tone of voice, it's obviously Xiaoguang..."

Airisa, who also read the contents of the document, expressed her opinion weakly.

"Impossible. If it's Horirin-san, then who is the other party?"

"This...is not the first seal."

Li Wu pinched his forehead and looked at Guang, who was standing aside after reading the diary, feeling nostalgic, "This location should be the water tower on the outskirts of the city we rode to."

The mysterious voice I heard in the activity room at that time must have pointed to the "Water Tower".

"Water tower? But..."

Guang also fell into confusion, but soon the evidence proving Li Wu's statement was placed in front of four people and a pigeon.

Just like the dried paint on an oil painting gradually falling off during high-temperature baking, after he expressed his speculation, the island they were on, the ocean that previously reflected the starlight, the dead monsters, and even the interior space of the entire tower were all... Fade rapidly.

"The night is gone."

Airisa looked up and squinted her eyes in the bright sunshine.

The night surrounding the first seal turned into a normal clear sky, and the originally towering giant tower was replaced by a low and old water tower, which no longer had any breathtaking momentum.

Everyone in the Brave Club was huddled at the top of the water tower, which seemed extremely crowded because of the narrow space.

"Why did the water tower Xiaoguang visited before become the first seal?"

Airisa asked a constructive question.

"I have no idea."

Guang shook his head at a loss, "And the memory... is wrong. There is something wrong with this world."

She must have been awakened to the memory of that time, and discovered the problem from its deviation from reality.

"These questions can be discussed in the activity room. What is in the other book?"

Li Wu asked.

Airisa tried to open the black leather book in her hand and found that it was locked from the side.

"Anyway, the first seal has been released, right?"

Hoshikawa Aoi waved her hand carelessly, "Put the problem aside for now. It's too crowded here. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Neither Li Wu nor Guang, who were confused to varying degrees, raised any objections, and Airisa would naturally agree.

After everyone jumped down from the water tower, Xingchuan Aoi suddenly remembered that no one had answered her question before.

She grabbed her boyfriend's shoulders: "Wait a minute, Li Jun, the boy in the diary is not you, right?!"

"I only realized it now..."

Airisa complained while subconsciously looking at Hikari.

She turned her back to everyone who was leaving, still looking at the water tower bathed in the sun.

"That was when I graduated from elementary school..."

Li Wu asked while dealing with his girlfriend. "Light? Is there anything else to do?"

She shook her head and turned around.

The memories she had just awakened were still vivid, making her somewhat immersed in the afterglow of that night.

The grown-up Guang looked at the two people standing side by side and felt that what his childhood sweetheart said at that time was indeed correct. Everyone will find the rose that tamed them.

She followed up: "Xiao Wu, the water tower looks so short now, it's nothing like it was then."

But, it turns out it’s not necessarily me.

big liar.
