People in Mond, arrogant sun, not hated

"I heard from them that you have also waited for me for 30 years. Fate really loves to play tricks. We have been separated by a sea for so long. The reunion is still under such circumstances."

Teshima-san looked up at the sky a little lonely.

The time is coming, and the fireworks that have been witnessed are about to rise again.

But the sleeping person may not be able to wake up.

Maybe I don't know when I will sleep forever.

There is no room for redemption.

For mortals, reality is often such a cruel thing.

"Sure enough... I still want to watch it together again, I still want to go together to complete the past promise, I want to see the pure white snow I saw in the book when I was a child."

Spread your hands.

The ring, which was still as bright as decades ago, was shining brightly under the moonlight.

It's still so shiny.

Like the immortal desire in the eyes of God.

--------

"Obviously it's just a fleeting moment of color. The summer illusion created by crowds, no matter how gorgeous and beautiful it is, will eventually return to darkness. Why do people still yearn for it so much?"

At the highest point of the castle tower, the god looked up at the night sky that was about to be illuminated, and the countless people looking up below, and whispered with some distant thoughts.

Fireworks have a long, long history in Inazuma.

The people who accompanied her to watch the fireworks bloom in the past have all stayed in the past at this time.

Joy is short-lived, but pain is long-lasting.

The fleeting colors in the sky are the furthest thing from eternity.

Beside her, the knight showed a smirk with great interest.

"Then watch it with me. From the fleeting colors, you can see the [eternity] that really belongs to the future of this country."

"I have prepared a unique surprise for this night."

Chapter 234: The agreement with the snow under the fireworks

"I want to see the snow."

One day, while flipping through an old book, the girl chewed on the tricolor balls in her mouth, said the boy who was drinking tea abruptly.

But the boy just glanced at her, sighed and put down the tea.

"You are reading strange books again. The climate of our rice wife has been adjusted to the most suitable range by the general. No matter how long it takes, it is impossible for it to snow."

He quite directly denied the girl's wish.

Naturally, it aroused the dissatisfaction of adolescent girls.

She puffed up her cheeks angrily like a hamster, and twisted her friend's waist hard.

"Teshima, why are you so boring! It's because it's a scenery that you can't see in your whole life here, so it's worth seeing with your own eyes."

"It hurts—the situation is not stable recently, so don't come up with foolish thoughts, it's very dangerous!"

The boy called Teshima rubbed the soft flesh of his waist, and hurriedly dissuaded him as if he had thought of something.

But the girl remained unmoved.

Still shaking his snow-white feet, he looked at the sky and said.

"All the opportunities in the world come with the same risks. If everyone is held back by the fear of failure, then human beings will not be able to progress."

She spread out the pages of the book in her hands and tried her best to imagine the scene.

"Think about it, the snow that covers the sky and the sun covers all the surroundings with a layer of white, and the originally colorful world suddenly becomes monotonous and charming. Don't you want to see such a scene?"

Teshima just scratched his head when he heard such a description, and put forward his own ideas quite honestly.

"Compared to seeing those things, it should be colder when the snow falls."

"Tsk!"

--------

In the dark night sky, gorgeous colors bloom like flowers, making the originally dark world as bright as day.

Gradually tighten the clenched hands.

On the night of the summer festival.

The two who were much older watched the fireworks in the sky in silence.

"Teshima, I really want to see the snow."

The girl's side face is so beautiful under the fireworks that it makes people's heart beat, but it also reflects a bit of loneliness.

"You know, I was abandoned by my biological parents and survived by my grandmother. Originally, it took her more than ten years to save enough money to go to Monde, just to see the dragon's spine with her own eyes. Heavy snow in the snow mountain."

"But because she picked me up, she spent all her savings in order to cure my illness. I extinguished her dreams, and I restricted her freedom to this island."

"As a result, she was unable to realize her wish until she died of illness due to overwork."

There was a bit of choking in the girl's voice.

"I want to repay her kindness and realize the dream she gave up for playing. This is the karma I should bear."

Although she said at the end that she never regretted that choice at the beginning, she also left the world with a smile.

But as the sinner who took away her wish, she has the responsibility to fulfill that unrealized dream.

"So Teshima, I'm sorry, I can't—"

The hand that was about to let go was tightly held again.

The man's voice came with a bit of gentleness.

"Well, I know."

"what?"

"Don't even think about how many years we have known each other. I have always known that the agreement you made has never been violated. But I am sorry, even so, I do not intend to stop, I will not let myself The brilliant gems that I found with great difficulty disappeared from sight.”

"so--"

The girl's pupils slowly widened, and the fireworks in the sky were brilliant and colorful.

But I don't know why, compared to the incomparably gorgeous scene.

But she couldn't take her eyes off his face in front of her.

Teshima held their hands tightly together, and turned his head with a gentle and bright smile.

"So, I will accompany you to see the scenery you expect. Xue, your wish no longer belongs to you alone, but our common wish."

The quietest confession was overshadowed by the cheers of the crowd, but it reached the girl's ears word for word.

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, she watched her lover cry and said with a smile.

"Well, after this war is over, I will let you see the pure white snow that I saw in my dream."

While speaking, she took off a pink amulet from her neck and handed it to him.

"This is?"

"Grandma, she begged for me from the Yae Shrine since I was a child. She is very spiritual and will definitely keep you safe."

Wiping her tears, the woman blinked mischievously.

"Take this well, maybe this will save your life when you encounter danger in the future."

"I don't want to have that kind of future... But if this is the case, give me your hand."

Under the suspicious eyes of the woman, Tejima took out a beautiful ring that he had prepared from his bosom.

Then put it on her gently.

Looking at the gorgeous gemstones and bright colors under the moonlight, the woman couldn't help opening her mouth in surprise.

This doesn't look like a bargain.

"This is passed down from my family to my daughter-in-law. It is very beautiful. My grandfather's generation cost a lot of money."

Looking at the ring, the woman suddenly realized something, blushed all of a sudden, patted the other person's chest lightly, and said angrily.

"Who do you say is your wife, shameless!"

"Ah, I didn't mean that, it's just that you gave me the most important thing, and I have to return the same amount of value."

And looking at the fool who hurriedly explained to herself, the woman smiled and tightly held the ring in her hand.

The clenched hands still did not let go.

That night, two God's Eyes that radiated more radiance than fireworks appeared in their pockets at the same time.

Like the proof of the wishes and vows of that night.

--------

"Bastard, say it again! Believe it or not, I'll kill you!!!"

Under the baptism of the flames of war, Teshima's eyes showed a bit of fierce light. At this time, he growled angrily and pulled the collar of the intelligence officer.

Like a raging tiger.

"It's just bad luck, and it's not impossible to survive. That God's Eye... You are Teshima, right? When I finally escaped, someone asked me to give you this letter."

Seeing the flickering thunder around him and the erupting God's Eye, the intelligence agent whose legs were weak from fright quickly handed him a letter in his hand.

As if seeing hope, the man took it as quickly as possible with trembling hands.

The familiar handwriting briefly wrote down the words.

[If we are separated in this war... just wait for me in Konta Village, there must be a safe home for us]

It was like finally getting a guarantee.

The tense body instantly relaxed, as if a hanging thread had finally been loosened.

He trusts.

She trusts her lover deeply and almost unconditionally.

If it was her, she would never violate her agreement, and now she just needs to wait.

--------

after the war.

A soldier gave up all his fame and went to a small village that no one knew at the time, and settled down peacefully.

Communicate with the villagers, clean up the monsters for them, defeat the ronin who came to plunder, and make the village grow little by little.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are fleeting like an open book, year after year, year after year.

There was anxiety, there was impatience, there was anger, there was doubt...but he always believed.

That person will definitely come back.

And he has to make the best preparations here to meet her.

Years are like a knife cutting life one by one. I don’t know when, the palms become old and rough. I see myself in front of the mirror with white hair. I go to bed earlier and earlier, and wake up Come to be in good spirits.

It was almost a blink of an eye to adapt to life here like breathing.

Most of my life has passed.

In my memory, the face of the girl became a little blurry, and the things I experienced together became more and more hazy, but when I sat in the nearby shrine and prayed, I looked at my God's Eye and the amulet.

But still able to smirk like a child.

It's also strange.

But no matter how long time spans, some things still stand the test of time.

Thinking back on those, just makes me happy.
