The heroines want to talk

There was another brief silence.

The surrounding bamboo forest is still glowing.

"Hiss~ It's a bit cold."

He complained, but his pace did not slow down.

The new clothes that Xia Shibu member changed into are very thin. It should be enough during the day, but it will still be cold late at night, right?

"Are you cold, Minister?"

"not cold."

My body and hands are warm...

I do not know how long it has been.

A red torii gate appeared in front of me.

shrine?

Take the last step.

A large open space came into view, with a dilapidated main hall in the center and a huge dead tree next to it, with many red ropes entangled around it.

The fireflies left.

Xia Shibu member took out a small desk lamp from his bag.

Why didn’t you use it just now?

The question was not asked.

He took out another picnic blanket and placed it on the grass nearby.

Next came the disassembled telescope.

“Is this a shrine?”

The light from the desk lamp illuminates an area, which is very warm.

"Yeah." Xia Shi, a member of the team, assembled the telescope and replied, "I found it when I was working nearby."

"It's very close to the sky here, so we can see the stars more clearly."

"Ah."

Looking up at the sky, it is dazzling.

The starry sky is in full view.

Three shining stars form the Great Triangle of Spring.

"Centaurs, Spica, Arcturus, and Canis Major, plus Canis Major in Canes Venatici, this is the big diamond of spring. There are two first-magnitude stars in total."

He said as he set up the telescope.

"Minister, they are all too conspicuous."

Wouldn't it be better to be more conspicuous?

"We have to find our own stars, which were discovered by others."

He was talking like he was dreaming again.

He led me to sit on the cloth.

Look up...

"meteor……"

"Yeah, shooting stars."

It turned out to be a shooting star...

It streaked across the sky and then fell to the ground, like summer fireworks, and disappeared in an instant.

Member Xia Shi looked at the sky in silence.

In his eyes, the starry sky is reflected...very beautiful.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Are you making a wish?

"I heard that when a shooting star passes by, any wish can come true."

"Ah."

“But it seems that something too difficult won’t work.”

"why?"

"Minister, don't you want to make a wish?"

"I don't want to believe that."

This was the second time he had spoken about this topic.

"Then how should I give my gift?"

He looked over and said, "If Minister makes a wish, I can help you make it come true!"

Unexpected persistence.

"..."

How to answer?

Have no idea.

After a few seconds, he spoke again: "Although the moon is beautiful, it does not shine."

"It just reflects the sun's rays."

Xia Shibu member continued: "It is not even as good as the stars."

"It's really amazing that stars can still transmit light even if they are hundreds of light years away."

Don't understand what he means.

"I feel like the moon, bare and empty."

"It doesn't emit light. It's just a satellite of a planet. It can't become a star."

Eyes converged once again.

There was a little more brilliance in his eyes.

"But I suddenly realized yesterday that it doesn't matter if I can't shine, and it doesn't matter if I just go with the flow..."

"As long as I can reflect the sun's light, it will be fine. Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, it feels like I am working hard to become more beautiful..."

His words softened.

Like clouds.

"Minister, you are my sun."

"..."

I am not...the sun.

"Be true to yourself, don't cater to others, do your own thing..."

"He's a perfectionist, speaks his mind, and doesn't like to lie." He smiled, "These are all the things I like about the Minister."

He was somewhat helpless: "Because I can't do it."

"I like to lie and observe other people's faces. When I see that they are angry, I will subconsciously comfort and please them."

“I don’t like myself like this.”

He was silent for a moment.

“I haven’t found my star.”

"In front of the convenience store, I seemed to have said... Minister, you can't change my will."

“But I want to be like you.”

"I want to do what I like and get rid of everything I hate."

Member Xia Shi lay on the ground and said in self-abandonment: "But I found that I am not good at rejecting others."

"so!"

"I've made up my mind! Since I can't make it happen, I'll let the Minister do it!"

"Since I can't shine, I'd better find a sun."

But I am not the sun.

No sun will be afraid of its own family.

No sun is afraid of heights.

Without the sun, I would be afraid of crowded places.

There is no sun either...

"It's ok."

He read my mind and said, "If you are not good at something, just overcome it."

"I will help you get rid of things that the Minister hates. I will help you get things that the Minister likes..."

Xia Shibu sat up and smiled, "Even if it's a star, I can pick it for you."

"why?"

Why me?

He thought for a few seconds and smiled gently, "Because, I have been tamed by you."

"And you have become my only one."

To me, you are just a little boy like a hundred thousand other little boys. I don't need you. And you don't need me either. To you, I am just a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.

But if you tame me, we shall be inseparable. To me, you shall be unique in the world, and to you, I shall be unique in the world.

The starry sky was beautiful late that night.

But I don’t remember the process of going back.

Chapter 101 Golden Week Ends

"Ha~ I'm so tired."

Early in the morning, Xia Shi walked into the house from the gate and yawned.

He just came back from the park.

If it were the Minister, he should still be sleeping in the guest room next door?

I spent too much time looking at the stars yesterday, and it was already late when I came back. Xia Shi thought that Minister Yukinoshita would reject this proposal, but she surprisingly didn't say much.

“…Shua shua~”

There was a noise in the bathroom.

Xia Shi sat down on the sofa silently.

Once again, this difficult choice was placed before him.

To watch or not to watch?

After a few minutes, while he was struggling, Yukino finished washing and came out wearing a bathrobe.

"Natsumi member, dryer."

"it is good!!"
