Something is wrong!A hundred worlds traversed at the same time are not right

(Is it almost over? I am no longer allowed to stay in this world.)

The man ran forward with all his strength, and the girl dangled in his hands.

(See nothing, think nothing, know nothing, feel nothing, feel nothing...)

(Now no one can interfere with me...but why am I sad? Why...)

The sun and the moon passed, and the time came to winter.

The girl is still alive.

In the cave where the dim sunlight came in, the girl was lying on the ground.

"Hey, I'm back with rice!"

Hearing the sound of the man returning to the cave, the girl opened her eyes.

Then, slowly smiled at him.

"Look, this amount of rice is enough for us to eat for a long time, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

A bag full of rice was stolen by the man from the countryside.

So far, no matter how hungry and panicked, the man forbids himself to steal, but for the sake of the girl, he doesn't care so much.

"I'll make rice balls for you right away."

The innermost part of the cave seems to be their small kitchen, with some simple and rough food utensils placed on the ground.The man was there to prepare to cook.The girl quietly looked at his back.

No matter how painful her injuries are, since they moved to this cave, the girl's smile has never stopped in front of the man.

The life of two people in the cave with the man is a "family" life that the girl has never experienced since she was born, which makes the girl feel a little happy.

Perhaps it was because she was unwilling to lose such happiness that the girl barely managed to hang her life.However, he barely hanged his life.After all, she had suffered so many excessive things, she was already very thin, and she suffered serious stab wounds... Her health was deteriorating.

The fire in the cave was shaking, and the shadows of the two were reflected on the rock wall.They just looked at each other quietly.Suddenly, the girl's face slowly turned to the entrance of the cave.

"The moon? Do you want to see the moon?" the man asked.

"Yeah." The girl replied softly.

"Okay, I see." The man carefully picked up the girl and walked out of the cold cave.

The two looked up at the cold sky, and a little moonlight shone from between the clouds.

"What a nice view…"

The girl in the man's arms spoke to the moon.

"The moon shines on me~ The sun is too glaring during the day, but the moon is gentler..."

It was a rare time for the girl to talk so much, which made the man feel puzzled.

"For a person like me, the moon is willing to illuminate me...to illuminate me like it illuminates everyone..."

"You in the end..."

The man wanted to ask her, but the girl continued to speak her words.

"I... like this world..."

"Enough...enough is enough."

"I don't want to... go to that dark world again... woo woo..."

The girl cried for the first time, sobbing with tears.

(...life is worse than death, she is the same as me...we all endured and survived...)

The girl's tears slid down her cheeks and wet the man's wrist.

In the fierce cold wind, the man only felt warmth in his hands.

The day when the moon reveals its face from between the clouds.

The cold north wind and the day when the maiden cried for the first time.

Finally, the top of Fengjin Mountain was covered with a piece of white snow.

The coldness of winter consumes the girl's physical strength, taking away her strength to live day by day.

"Come, eat porridge, it's hot."

The man took a mouthful of porridge and delivered it to the girl's mouth.

It's a pity that the girl is so weak that she doesn't even have the strength to swallow her porridge.

"Delicious porridge."

Even so, the girl forced a smile.

"Wait for me, I'll go find the medicine for you now, and before I come back, you have to work hard to live, you know!"

After speaking, the man braved the wind and snow to go outside.

He also didn't find that the girl wanted to talk to him.

The man drove through the knee-deep snow all the way to the village.

His goal is the big house of the rich, just like the last time he stole rice.Unfortunately, this time was not as lucky as last time, he was discovered.

"Don't run, find him!"

The voice of the pursuer reminded the man of the past.

(That's right...the people who surrounded my house and set it on fire are like this...)

"Smallpox has appeared, we want to protect our village, set it on fire!" those people shouted.

(A house full of flames everywhere...my brother and my dead parents and sister are inside...)

"Cough, cough... brother, where are you?"

"It's so hot, brother...my eyes hurt."

(I shielded my brother under my body.)

(I kept comforting my frightened younger brother, "Don't be afraid, it's fine"...)

"Gisuke...brother..."

"Gisuke!"

(The last voices heard were those of my younger brother and my not-quite-dead father...)

(When I woke up again, there was a small corpse looking at me under my body.)

(Since then, I don't use my name 'Yisuke' anymore...)

"Here, quick, this way!"

The chasing soldiers waved their swords over, but the man also blocked them with his swords.

(The betrayal of my most trusted friend made me forget how to trust people!)

His left calf brushed past the pursuer's broadsword, and the man rolled to the ground in order to dodge the opponent.

(Hacking with a machete is my favorite because that's the only thing I can rely on!)

The man pushed the pursuer to the ground, bit the opponent's shoulder, and then quickly fled the scene.

(I don’t have to be a bandit. It’s just meaningless killing, adding to my sins, and finally dying at the hands of others... Anyway, I only have one person to do what I don’t care...!)

The man's body was full of scars. Even though he fell down several times in the snow, the man still kept moving forward while protecting the medicine in his arms.

(However, it's different now. Someone is waiting for me...someone like me is waiting for me now!)

The man continued to run, running towards the girl wholeheartedly...

At the same time, in the cave, the girl waited for the return of the man.

In the life of Huajie and Liuxiang, closing eyes in order to look away, the world in closed eyes is what girls longed for before.

However, now she is terrified of falling asleep.What if, when she opened her eyes again, the man next to her was no longer there?

(I finally fell in love with him, but now I am about to say goodbye to this world.)

Even so, the smile on the girl's eyelids still remained.The only thing she regrets is...

"I don't need any medicine...as long as you are by my side."

This is what she wants to say to the man.

(So ​​far, am I alive?)

The girl's memory is no longer the painful days in Huajie and Liuxiang, but the memories of living with the man in the past few months.

Especially when she thought of the man carrying her to the stream to drink water several times...

(The fireflies I saw there were really beautiful, and everyone worked hard to shine.)

For the girl, the light spots of the fireflies are the proof of being alive, the first time she discovered the joy of being alive, the light of the fireflies symbolizes that she is still alive.

The girl touched her hair lightly. There were knots tied for her by the man in her hair.

"I want proof that I'm alive."

The girl squeezed out her last bit of strength, as if speaking to a man who was not there.

(It's okay if no one sees it. Just a little... a little light is fine.)

(People like me, like me...really...still alive~)

At this time, the vermilion thread in the girl's eyes suddenly shone.Then, the fireflies that would not appear in this season, attracted by the light, surrounded the girl's body.

Rather than saying it was unbelievable, the girl was more happy that she could see the fireflies appear again.

Then the girl said to the man who was not around, "the one who is always by my side" and "the one who treats me so well for some reason".

"Am I glowing?"

Those were the last words of the girl.

The traumatized man returned to the cave, and the only thing waiting for him was the girl who could no longer speak.

"Why? Didn't I ask you to wait until I come back... We agreed...Look, I brought the medicine back for you..."

The girl's pale lids were the same as the snow scene outside.

The man stroked her cheeks, which was actually colder than the white snow outside.

"Weak and useless people deserve to die, that's a matter of course...but...but..."

The man hugged the girl tightly to his chest with tears in his eyes.That was the second time since he was wiped out that he kept crying throughout the night.

That day, a heavy snow fell on the top of Fengjin Mountain.Bleak and icy winter snow covered the land.

The next day, the man took the girl to the stream to bury her.

The cicadas that surround the whole mountain, the sun that can sting the skin.The guardian moonlight, the fleeting glow of a firefly.Starry sky, cool summer breeze.

Everything is by the stream.

"Hold on tight, your body is too light, I don't care if you fall!"

On the way, the man said several times to the girl in his arms.

Once at the stream, the man began digging a hole.

The icy snow froze the man's hand, he didn't care at all and continued digging intently, he suddenly discovered...

"Hey, what a headache... I want to build a grave for you, but I don't know your name..."

The tears that I thought had dried up fell to the ground again and melted the snow.

However, the snow was quickly covered with new snow.As if to bury the man and the girl.It was as if none of this had ever happened.

The man wiped the tears from his face, and he saw a small green shoot protruding from the ground.

"By the way...you like the flowers blooming here..." the man said to the girl lying on the side.

(Listen, you can call me from now on...)

(…Um)

(Call me 'Yisuke'...)

(Yi, help? Well, I see.)
