Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

When did I start to become like this?

After working, or after college life,

Or, from that high school era?

I don't understand anything.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"......what?"

Suddenly, I reached into my pocket and found that there was no house key in the leather wallet.

It seems to have been forgotten in the company.

"Forget it... let's go back."

I don't know if there are any vacant seats yet, but if I spend the night in the cafe, my body will be overwhelmed.

Mixed with a trace of anxiety, I walked towards the company.

at this time.

In fact, my key was in the wallet, and I didn't notice it after drinking a little wine.

On the pointless return journey, I searched for the key.

Looking back now, this must be the turning point of my fate.

After speaking a few words to the security guard, I made it into the office without incident.

The lights in the office were still on, so even social animals wouldn't be visiting at this time.

"Thanks for your hard work......"

I, who blushed obviously after drinking alcohol, felt apologetic when I saw this scene. I entered the office in a low voice, and naturally turned my gaze to the innermost part of the office.

There was another figure there.

Under the snow, it's still there.

"................."

I myself, don't know why this happens.

Why would I, put the house key on the desk and walked towards her.

"Thanks for your hard work" or "Can I help you?"

Everything is good.

Just, want to talk to her.

I don't even know why I want to do this.

Already, he was no longer an opponent who could chat casually at that time.

Still, I wanted to say hello.

Want to have a conversation.

Even that guy's hateful sarcasm is fine.

Maybe it's because I'm drunk.The fear of rejection, my own inner restraint, I put aside completely.

Just like back then, I walked up to her desk with a youthful heart, as if I had turned into a high school student again.

Then I,

"—"

Speechless.

She fell asleep.

I just fell asleep, and the LCD screen started the screen saver.

that pupil.

The closed eyelids are slightly blurred.

Through the lights, I see.

"what......"

Can't make a sound.

Don't know how to explain.

Why would something like this appear in front of my eyes, something completely pointless.

She wore a pair of anti-blue light glasses on her face.

It's the same as the one I gave her eight years ago.

Eyes, where the gilding had flaked in places, rested firmly on her regular face with age.

Fool.

not like this.

Such a thing is impossible.

She and I took different paths.

My way is like garbage.

Therefore, I desperately denied it.

The sight in front of you.

Looking at this fantasy, there is a faint expectation in my heart.

However, I wanted to be forced to deny it.

As a minister in such a company, it is impossible for her not to have enough financial resources to replace a pair of cheap glasses.

She had no reason to keep using the glasses despite the unexpected appearance.

I can't think of a reason for her continuing to use disproportionate eyes with a ministerial position.

Pushed by reality, I still desperately considered other reasons, repeated in hellish denial.

"what......?"

Awakened by my movement, she slowly opened her eyes.

Misty pupils.

Maybe I haven't woken up yet.

Yukinoshita Yukino, she looked at me with out-of-focus eyes.

"...Mr. Biqigu?"

Yes, that's exactly what it said.

Just like that time, calling my name.

Same as then, with a gentle smile.

Completely overwhelmed by the Sandman, Yukinoshita fell into a drowsy sleep.

"You're back. Now, I'm going to prepare black tea..."

Unknowingly, she was immersed in memories in her dream.

"......I......"

There is something, the sound of collapse.

Knowing nothing, I was just, overwhelmed by what I saw.

"Snow......"

Yes, I called out her name.

She is no longer like me.

Someone who has nothing to do with ordinary people like me.

Because I understood it so clearly, I gave up.

gave up.

I was taken aback by this statement.

What did you give up?

What am I, have I given up?

Don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know.

"Under the snow..."

However, when I was dumbfounded, Yukinoshita cast her confused eyes on me.

"—"

Finally, those eyes were awakened

"...ah!...ah,...ah!?"

Looking around hastily, Yukinoshita confirmed the surrounding situation.

She first confirmed the time on the watch, then confirmed that I was here, and then confirmed that the pair of glasses was on her face.

"...!!"

In an instant, his cheeks were instantly dyed red.

That reaction made it all clear.

"..."

Under the snow, saw me.

How to do it, why did it become such a confusing thing.

In the depths of the lenses that are no longer hidden, the pupils are trembling.

"..."

Stunned, we stared at each other.

Between each other, it was too sudden to keep up.

The two of them in the silent office seemed to be frozen.

I have the illusion that time that has stopped is starting to turn again.

――It was like dreaming.

-------------------------------------

Under the Snow Perspective

-------------------------------------

"..."

I stared blankly, he was transferred from the branch.

He in a suit.

Compared with the figure in my distant memory, he is more mature.

He who desires more than anyone else stands in front of me.

My heart is beating fast like it's going to explode, I feel like that.

Me, not even a smile.

I must be afraid.

Because I was defeated by him once.
