Blue Files, there are 100 days left until Mr. disappears

She seemed to be enveloped in some unhappiness, some melancholy.

"These fish are free, no one is supervising them, no one is watching over them, but they can still trust each other and cooperate with each other."

"In contrast, human children tend to be suspicious of each other, cover up their true feelings with words, and raise their guns at each other amid mutual suspicion."

Hoshino shook his head with a smile, shrugged, and sighed slightly.

A piece of fruit juice was brought to Hoshino's lips.

Hoshino didn't need to look to know that her husband was worried about her again.

"Thank you."

She didn't want to see her husband's frown, so she whispered her thanks and swallowed the gummy in her mouth, chewing it.

The tropical-flavored pulp tasted great, easing the bitter taste in her heart, and the passionate sweetness of mango oozed from her tongue.

"Hoshino-san, although I don’t want to spoil your interest..."

The gentleman stood in front of the glass curtain wall, his figure reflected in the blue light.

His eyes in the mirror were deep, losing warmth and becoming more serious.

"However, the relationship between the doctor fish and the big fish is not just an act of mutual help based on mutual trust -

There is actually a fairly complete monitoring mechanism between them. "

Hoshino was stunned on the spot, silently raising his head and looking at Mr.

The gentleman laughed softly:

"While one large fish receives cleaning services from the doctor fish, the other large fish and the doctor fish quietly observe their behavior.

If a big fish swallows the doctor fish, or the doctor fish bites a piece of meat from the mouth of the big fish,

Then, individuals who break the rules will no longer enjoy this mutual aid service, and will also be ostracized by their peers in the group. "

The husband held Hoshino's hand as if nothing had happened, and suddenly found that her palm was trembling slightly.

He closed his eyes and gave Hoshino a not-so-good smile.

"Perhaps you want to find a utopia of selfless behavior in the animal kingdom."

“I don’t deny that selfless behavior also exists in the animal kingdom.

However, as a species, selfless behavior without a reward and punishment mechanism is impossible to achieve and will only lead to the destruction of this species. "

"For example..."

The gentleman glanced at the doctor fish that were entering and exiting the gills of the big fish, and continued:

"Some species of small fish will disguise themselves as doctor fish to deceive the trust of larger fish."

“They have stripes and swimming patterns similar to those of doctor fish, tricking larger fish into approaching it quietly.

When the big fish trusts them and opens its mouth, they will bite off a piece of meat from the big fish's fin and then run away. "

The teacher chuckled and patted Hoshino on the back.

"Deception is so common in the animal kingdom that almost every mutualistic relationship has a corresponding 'liar' species that seeks to profit from it."

"But who can we blame these species? They are just trying to survive."

Hoshino seemed to have some realization, his eyes were a little sour.

She lowered her head gently, with a smile on her lips, but her eyes gradually became cold.

Sir saw her.

Seeing this young girl who had been deceived too many times by 'selfish adults', she clenched her fists and her shoulders trembled slightly.

The gentleman's face was calm, but his heart was tense.

Hoshino's innocent illusion successfully aroused his pain nerves.

He once swore to protect the innocent world of children,

But the cruel reality and the countdown to death hanging above his head forced him to bow his head.

He admits to being ruthless.

Cruelly breaking her illusion, I just don't want them to suffer more devastating harm.

She stared at the serious face of her husband and murmured to herself:

"Sir, do you believe 'Paradise' really exists?"

Hoshino's voice was not loud, but it stirred up a slight stir in Mr.'s heart.

The gentleman's thin chest vibrated, and a low laugh escaped:

"Paradise? Haha..."

"Hoshino-san, let me tell you a simple fact."

He handed his hand to Hoshino's and sighed slightly:

"No matter what kind of paradise, it cannot withstand doubt. Just like gods, they cannot withstand doubt."

He gently leaned down, kissed Hoshino's hair and stroked the back of her head,

"Don't push yourself too hard. There are many things we can only do our best."

"You have worked very hard, lovely Hoshino-san.

Don't force the world to be what you want it to be. That's too tiring.

Cherish the people around you, cherish those children in Abydos - this is enough. "

Chapter 053: Day 048·Office ①①

On the train ride back, neither Mr. nor Hoshino said anything.

Hoshino held the whale pillow with both hands, lowered his head and closed his eyes, but the halo on his head was still on.

Although she was very tired, and although she knew that the teacher would take her out of the car even if she passed the station, Hoshino just couldn't sleep.

The sunset on the sea is beautiful, with golden light shining on the water, dyeing the entire sea citrus color.

The warm light shines on Hoshino's side, reflecting a soft temperature.

As the setting sun gradually sinks below the sea level, the remaining warmth in the body gradually disappears.

Hoshino raised his head and looked at the teacher who was resting by the car window, dazed.

she knows.

She knows it all.

There are some things that cannot be undone even if you pray hard or get amulets from temples.

Because the ending has been written.

So she could only watch helplessly as the most important thing in her life left her.

Even if you stretch out your hand, you can only catch a piece of cool evening breeze.

(I know you have to leave sooner or later.)

(Then, before you leave, can you, for the last time, engraved you in my heart?)

She asked silently in her heart, her small lips made a mouth shape to pronounce words, but she did not say anything.

Hoshino just doesn't want to cause any more trouble to her husband.

"Ding Dong"

The tram arrived, and the dreamy one-day vacation came to an end.

Mr. Hoshino was sent to the dormitory where Abydos belonged.

"That's it, sir~"

Hoshino shook his husband's hand and showed a lazy smile.

"Won't you invite me in for a visit?"

The gentleman joked casually.

From the gentleman's tone, Hoshino knew that he was just being polite.

He still has a lot of work to do.

Of course, if Hoshino begs him, he won't refuse.

"Ah, sir, you are actually so interested in the dormitories of female students. He is indeed as terrible a pervert as the rumors say~"

"Ha ha……"

The two laughed in unison.

Hoshino guarded the entrance to the dormitory, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes as he looked inside.

The dormitory is still decorated by them in its original appearance, unchanged, and it is no different from the appearance of the Abydos campus.

Everything remains as it was.

No changes will be made just because anyone leaves.

Hoshino has known this truth for a long time.

After all, the earth doesn’t move just because of one person.

No matter how much injustice we suffer or how much loss we suffer, the sun will still rise the next morning.

Standing in front of her husband, she suddenly felt that everything was so far away from her.

The noisy years with my husband in Abydos seemed like a lifetime ago.

Although it was as clear as if it had just happened yesterday, it was so far away that even if you stretched your arms to the limit, you could not reach it.

However, when she held her husband's hand, she was at a loss for words.

She couldn't say that insincere farewell no matter what.

"gentlemen."

"Ok?"

"Tomorrow, we will continue to fight."

"Yes."

"A lot of kids are going to be hurt, a lot of kids are going to be scared."

"sorry."

"There is also the chairman of the committee of Gehena. It must be extremely difficult for her to restore her previous memories."

"sorry."

……

Hoshino was silent for a few seconds, his lips moved, as if he was trying to say something unspeakable, and he finally made up his mind to say it.

"Why don't you just stop persisting, sir? As for me, uncle, I don't know what will happen if I see you get hurt again."

"At least, let us take care of you for the last period of time, just for a while...can't you?"

A faint light flickered in Hoshino's golden and blue pupils.

The gentleman sighed, his gentle gaze fell on Hoshino's face, and he shook his head solemnly.

"You know that's impossible, Hoshino-kun."

“For rescuing you from the battlefield, we all owe Hina a very, very heavy debt.

I will not force you to bear this responsibility, but I am not qualified to retreat. "

She stood stiffly on the spot, as stunned as a wooden stake.

The girl's wrist was numbing slightly, she gritted her teeth, and her heart sank all the way.

"Hoshino?"

The gentleman tilted his head slightly and asked softly.
