\"That's all I want to say right now. I've told you everything, Shino.\"
"...exist"
""
Just then, Kazuto realized. Unknowingly, big tears welled up from Shino's eyes. Shino's eyes were full of anger, and her face was about to become messy.
"Why are you like this? Why are you like this? Why, why don't you hate me?"
\"Shino\"
Shino opened her tightly closed mouth and shed tears, hiccups, and sobs.
\"If I were with you, Heren's heart would suffer because of me, and Heren's heart would die. I thought that if you hated me, you would no longer worry about me, and you wouldn't suffer because of me... "
""
"And I thought I would hate you too, but every time, my heart hurts, and it hurts more and more. No matter how hard I try, I can't hate you. I don't want to hate you more, or I can't eat, or anything. I can’t even do it. When I sleep, I have sweet dreams with you. No matter how hard I try, I still feel that I like you. I can’t throw it away!!”
"Even if I try to stop it, the words are spilling out of my chest and I can't stop it." I couldn't help but spit out the things accumulated in my chest. Kazuto just looked at Shino and said nothing.
"Even me, I still like being with people. I like him, I like him, I like him, I can't help it!"
\"Shino\"
At this time, Shino was startled and turned to face Kazuto. Kazuto smiled and gently let go of Shino's hand.
"I want you to tell me how you feel. Don't hold back, tell me."
""
At Kazuto's request, Shino lowered her head and let all the emotions in her chest rush to her throat and reach her mouth. She turned into words, raised her head, and shouted loudly.
"I want to be with someone forever. I want to live together forever. I want to live together forever and be happy together.
"I want to love Kazuto forever." I want a lot of kisses. I want to do much more than that. I want to spend time with you, I want to get married and have kids! ! "
""
"Everything is what I thought." Shino shouted out the words she wanted to say but couldn't, and hit Kazuto in front of her. Kazuto probably didn't expect to be told to this extent. Kazuto in front of him looked surprised, but not long after, a smile appeared on his face again, and Shino's body also began to cry. I put my arms around him and hugged him. If it was not long ago, Shino would definitely have thought of rejecting it, but now Shino didn't think much about it and just entrusted herself to Kazuto.
\"I'm sorry Shino. I, Shino, thought the same way, but I didn't realize that I felt the same way. If you want me to be with you forever.\"Marry you...I want to be with you Give birth to a child... Yui's brother or sister, whichever one...
"So, from now on, I want to share all the interesting things, happy things, and happy things with you." Following this, there will be a lot of painful things, painful things, and sad things, but if I'm with you and together we can overcome them. I think so. So, so Shino, let me say it again. \"
Kazuto spoke once in front of Shino, then put his hands on Shino's shoulders, looked into Shino's eyes, and asked her to declare again.
"Give me the power to be by your side again and let me love you."
Even though he pushed Kazuto so hard, he never tried to leave or change his feelings for him. No matter how hurt she was, she still stood up. When she heard the words of the man from afar, Shino's eyes began to shed large warm drops of water, which she couldn't stop. I didn't wipe off the water droplets, but made a dumbfounded expression on my face.
\"Give. Give Kazuto the right to be by my side again. Give me the right to love me and be loved by me. So, Kazuto, stay with me, stay with me. Please live with me and be happy with me. .”
Then Shino took a deep breath, exhaled to expel the air from her body, and then raised her face and smiled again.
“I’m sorry for saying that and hurting you.
\"I'm sorry for betraying you. Without you, I am useless. I love you, Shino.\"
After receiving Shino's confession, Kazuto showed the same smile as Shino's and silently brought his face close to Shino's face. Almost at the same time, Shino also brought her face close to Kazuto's, and then closed their lips with each other's lips.
"This is a behavior between relatives that I thought was impossible." When all this happened, big drops of water flowed out of Shino's eyes again, but Shino didn't care about anything, as if she wanted to destroy herself. The presence was etched on Kazuto's lips. I kept pursed my lips.
Afterwards, the two of them gently separated their faces, but Shino immediately put her hand on the cheek of the one she loved in front of her. Then, the beloved boy in front of her put his hand on Shino's cheek.
\"and people\"
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you to do more now?"
\"Understood\"
After hearing Kazuto's answer, Sinon raised her right hand to bring up the menu and entered the options window. I get deeper and deeper into it, and when I reach a certain point, I click on it, click the "OK" button on the window that appears, and close all windows. At this time, Kazuto has already operated the window in the same way. He went to the back of the options window, selected a certain part, clicked the "OK" button, and then closed the window.
In the world where the two met, they had done something like this before. After the preparations were completed, Kazuto reached out and held Shino's legs and picked her up like a princess. In this way, he walked to the bed as quietly as possible, slowly placed Shino's body on the bed, and Kazuto also got on the bed, covering the bed.
After a few seconds, Shino held Kazuto's cheeks with both hands and smiled.
\"Kato, come on.\"
"Yes"
After Kazuto nodded, he moved his face closer to the one he loved in front of him again and covered his lips with his own.
When the regular members heard that Kazuto and Shino had broken up, they couldn't help but worry about what would happen, and fell into a state that neither daily life nor "ALo" could cope with.
However, after that, the news that although Kazuto and Shino broke up for a while, they were able to repair their relationship and return to their original relationship - hearing this news, the usual members were touching their chests, but some people felt like It's like they know what's going to happen.
Kazuto and Shino survived the death game called SAo and returned to the real world. There is an invisible and tough thread between the two people who once thought about each other, struggled together, and overcame many difficulties, tightly binding them together.
That thread was not so easy to cut - precisely because he knew that it seemed natural for Kazuto to resume his relationship with Shino.
"There are two people who have a great relationship and everyone is here and we can have a lot of fun." Everyone successfully returned to their normal lives.
Two days later, Shino and Kazuto restored their relationship and returned to their normal lives.
Shino picked up her smartphone and called someone. Of course, it was Airi, a former psychiatrist who had been his go-to doctor and who had been giving me intensive therapy.
Although I successfully restored my relationship with Kazuto, this time it was quite important. Maybe there are things left, maybe there are things left for Kazuto to do and say, but if Shino tries to solve it alone, there may be situations such as bad effects. Thinking of this, Shino called Alice to seek advice.
However, Alice seems busy even on her days off and often doesn't answer the phone. Even if it hadn't happened, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to call Alice again this time - thinking about this incident and what would happen after being unable to get through to Alice, Sinon listened to the ringtone coming from the loudspeaker. her smartphone.
""
"This continuous ringing is the same as usual." When you call Alice, the phone will ring repeatedly, and when it finally hangs up, a mechanical voice says: "I'm on the phone now -". After returning from SAo, I tried to call Alice many times, but I could only get through a few times. After that, it was all machine noise.
The time I spend listening to Alice's voice is directly proportional to the time I spend with Alice, so it can be said to be a long time, but since I left SAo, I have spent more time listening to machine sounds than I have listened to Alice. Alice and I apparently had a lot of successful conversations. So Shino was tired of the mechanical sound when the phone couldn't be connected.
Alice often doesn't answer the phone, though, so I'm sure she'll hear the sound of the machine again this time. Thinking that the first sound would come soon, Shino sighed while listening to the ringing, but when the ringing sounded for the sixth time, she sighed.
\"Hello, Shino?\"
\"Ah, Teacher Alice!\"
What I heard was Airi Serizawa's own voice, not the voice of the answering machine service. Shino was surprised because she had always expected to hear a mechanical sound, and straightened her back.
"Teacher, did you answer the phone?"
"Oh, I've finished my work ahead of time. I'm in front of the computer now
"is that so"
\"Well, what happened\"
"Oh no, I was wondering if the teacher would show up today."
"The timing is right today. You are lucky today
\"So, Shino, what's wrong?\" If you call me, you might have something to say. \"
"Ah, yes. Actually"
Then Shino told Alice everything. What happened to Kato? I told Alice every detail of the four days.
Airi on the other end of the phone would occasionally respond with "um" or "hehe", but she kept listening silently. After Shino finished speaking, she finally said something decent.
\"So you finally had a quarrel\"
\"Yes. I had a fight with someone.\"
"Did you finally do it? If it were you, I thought we would fight one day, but it turned out just like I thought.\"
"I finally did it. But"
\"We can be safe and well\"
"Yes.
I don't know what Alice's face looks like because she's talking on her smartphone. However, I could tell from her tone that Alice's face showed happiness when she heard a pleasant story or a report that pleased her. Airi says "Fun" in such a happy voice and talks to Shino.
\"Kazuto-kun is a child who cares about you the most. The first thing he thinks of is you. Sometimes I go too far but you know best that I am not an annoying child.\"
"Yeah. I tried shaking it but it didn't work at all."
\"And you yourself can't possibly hate Kazuto-kun, right?\"
"Yes"
It is true that Shino tried to sever the relationship with Kazuto last time, but that was because Shino was thinking about Kazuto. During that time, it was impossible for Shino not to like Kazuto. I don't.
Shino was unable to sever her relationship with Kazuto from the beginning, nor could she shake Kazuto. If Shino forced herself to do this, she knew from the beginning that things would not go well. Alice smiled and then made a calm voice.
\"Shino. I say it again, Kazuto-kun, you can trust him. That girl is definitely your destined partner.\"
"Yes.
\"Well, Kazuto-kun has zero intention of dating other women. Kazuto is surrounded by many girls and only looks at you. In other words, it's January Shino.\"
"a straight line"
\"I think so myself, but there are indeed many girls around Kazuto.\"My friends Asuna, Rika, Keiko, Filia\/Kotone Kotone, Strea, and informant Argo are all Kazuto's female friend, and my reliable companion Alice is also a female, and my partner Lilan Yui, a child, is also a girl. It's possible, but if Kazuto has more male friends than female friends, then he will also have more female friends.
But even so, Kazuto didn't look away. Airi was right about Kazuto Shinoichiro.
\"But it's true. It's a straight line with the person. A straight line and he's looking at me.\"
"No matter how many women he goes out with, he will only love you. Well, he can do that because he has your memory in his mind. I think it is because of your memory that I can see Just you. There's probably no kid who's as far away from cheating as he is."
Speaking of this, Shino was shocked.
The reason why I tried to sever ties with Kazuto was because I realized that the memory of myself in Kazuto's mind was trying to mix with Kazuto's memory, thereby eroding Kazuto's spirit, because I thought it could be suppressed by disappearing. it. .
However Kazuto flatly denies it and chooses to stay with him and protect him. You might think this is a hasty decision, but he even promises to marry her in the future.
Shino couldn't hate Kazuto, but she couldn't make the choice not to accept Kazuto, and finally restored her relationship with Kazuto. Shino was happy to regain the happiness she thought was over.
However, even if he is able to restore his relationship with Kazuto, he cannot prevent the erosion of his own memories inside Kazuto. Although she fell more and more in love with Kazuo, none of her underlying problems were resolved.
Kazuto says, "I can get over it if I'm with you," but nothing has been done about it yet. not a single one.
\"Yes, Kazuto only loves me.\"
\"Shino, what happened\"
I was immediately startled by Alice's voice. This voice was different from the one I had just hit, and became a little more harsh. I'm sure, but Alice must have understood from the sound of her voice that her feelings had suddenly changed.
\"Yes, Teacher Alice.\"
\"What's wrong, Shino\"
Shino then talks to Alice again.
Kazuto's memory of Shino was eating away at him.
Even if you get back together with Heren, love him more, and love him even more, in the end his problems will not be solved.
"I wonder if I can do this."
Shino was talking to Alice on the other end of the smartphone, as if she was pouring out all her troubles. As before, Alice continued to listen to Shino's story silently, and only gave her answer after it was over.
\"Well, even if the relationship between you and He Renjun has eased, the problem with He Renjun has not been solved at all. He Renjun seems to have said that as long as he is with you, the problem can be solved.
\"I I don't know. There's nothing I can do to improve Kazuto's current situation at all.\"
"This is correct. No matter how much knowledge you have, it is something that ordinary people can master. It does not mean that you have the knowledge of a doctor.
Moreover, now not only Japan, but only Kazuto-kun in the whole world is in this state. Probably any doctor would say no to Kazuto-kun. \"
\"Mr. Airy, what should I do\"
At this moment, Alice's voice paused for a moment. Shino, who thought the suggestion would come soon, was dumbfounded and softly called Alice's name, but Alice's voice came back.
\"Shino. Actually, there is something else I didn't tell you.\"
"?"
\"Actually, I discussed it once with Kazuto-kun. Yes, about Kazuto's memory of you. Although I have remained silent, Kazuto-kun has already asked me for advice.\"
\"Is this true, and people, for teachers\"
"Why do you think so? Well, you don't have to think deeply about why. He didn't want to hurt you, so he chose to consult me instead of discussing it with you. For the time being, he also has his own considerations for you, don't think too badly.\"
Sure enough, I no longer felt sorry for Kazuto.
However, when I heard that Kazuto asked Alice for advice in front of me, a strange feeling arose in my heart and I felt a little nervous. Sinon swallowed this sentence and asked Alice.
\"So, teacher, what did you say to Kazuto? What did you ask Kazuto to do?\"
\"I didn't say anything. I just told Kazuto that this is a test you have to overcome and there's nothing I can do about it.
\"That's why, Shino.\"I need your help now but I have nothing to say
"never..."
"Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to advise you on anything. I've helped you a lot, but sometimes you have to figure things out on your own. That's the case right now. Kazuto-kun's current problems must all work together to find a solution. Otherwise there's One day you'll be broke. Before you'll be happy
""
\"So, Shino. You will solve this problem. You and Kazuto-kun must overcome this trial together. That's all I can say to you now.\"
When she speaks in a feminine manner, Alice returns to her natural state. The fact that she had just spoken in such a feminine tone meant that Alice sincerely believed she had no intention of helping solve the problem.
"This is a problem we have to solve ourselves, we can't borrow it from anyone." I can't borrow Alice's hand.
I thought Alice would give me some good ideas, but when she didn't, Shino felt pain in her chest.
"Can I do this?"
\"I think you reconciled with Kazuto because you thought you could do it. No matter how tired you become, no matter how tired your heart is, you must have accepted what Kazuto said, he will stay with you By my side, continue to protect you.\"
"Yes"
\"Since you have accepted Kazuto-kun, then stand up, Shino. I believe you can do it
""
"I know you are worried. But you must solve this problem. Healing Herenjun is the starting point for your happiness with Herenjun. If you want to be happy with Herenjun, face it no matter how anxious you are."
""
Alice's voice was unusually harsh. Up until now, Alice had only given me kind advice, but now she gave me no advice, only harsh words. It's friendly, but also strict. Somehow this reminds me of my mother far away in my hometown.
"Maybe it's because he heard what Alice said."
Or does Alice's voice overlap with that of her distant mother?
For some unknown reason, Shino's inner uneasiness gradually lessened and was replaced by a kind of confidence that came from nowhere.
With the same feeling of confidence, Sinon held her smartphone tightly and said to Alice over there.
\"That's it. I will find a way. I will let you solve this problem yourself.\"
"Are you sure you want to do this?\"
"I'm motivated. That's why I chose to be with He. I want to overcome any difficulty with He, so I thought I would live with He. With my hands I will overcome this ordeal."
\"I will believe those words\"
"please believe"
Sinon said this, took a deep breath, and then exhaled silently. Apparently Alice was doing the same, and I could hear Alice breathing in a way that reminded me of sighs and deep breaths coming from the speaker on my smartphone. After that, Alice's voice reached Sinon's ears again.
"I got it. Shino, stand up. Collision, stand up and win happiness with Kazuto-kun.\"
"Yes!"
When Shino responded positively, Alice said "Good luck!". Soon after, he ended the call with Shino and said, "I will log in to ALo again during my next vacation." After ending the long call with Alice, Shino took a deep breath, exhaled, and put down the smartphone. .
"As Alice said, this is a trial."
Eliminate the influence of one's own memories left in Kazuto's mind, prevent the wear and tear of Kazuto's spirit, and restore it. Only by overcoming this ordeal can he gain the right to be happy with Kazuto for the first time.
When he failed, Kazuto's inner memories of Shino eroded him, causing his mind and heart to collapse. In other words, death.
A trial and the risk of human life. If you don't succeed at all costs you have to get over it.
(...but)
I'm optimistic about Alice, but I can't think of a solution to this problem—a countermeasure to this ordeal. I thought about asking Alice what would be an effective way to solve this problem, but she didn't answer anything, so in the end, the important part hasn't changed since my call.
Thanks to Alice's scolding and encouragement - although she didn't say anything loudly - her originally hazy mind has cleared up, but even with such thoughts, there is no way to solve this problem. Can't think of anything.
"What should I do? I don't know if this is okay."
At this time, I gently looked up at the ceiling and muttered. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and Shino was startled. I was puzzled while looking for the source of the sound, and immediately discovered that the true identity of the sound was a smartphone. And there's a somewhat surprising name displayed on the display above.
"!!"
Sinon picked up the smartphone she had just put down and clicked the call start button. When I put it to my ear as before, I heard a voice on the other side of the speaker that was more familiar than the other, a voice that I could never forget.
\"Hello, Shino?\"
"...Mother"
The name displayed on the smartphone display is "Mother". This is a call from my mother far away in my hometown.
Shino was surprised because she didn't expect her mother to call her, but at the same time she had an urge to answer. Thanks to Shino's voice, my mother's voice reassured me.
"Great, you're finally out. I was on the phone but couldn't get through.\"
"Sorry, I was just talking to the teacher."
"Teacher? Maybe that teacher?\"
"Yes. I got to know the doctor at the hospital recommended by my mother a little bit.
\"No, it's not like that.\" I just want to talk to Shino, or in other words, I just want to hear Shino's voice. \"
When my mother called me, I almost thought something had happened, but when I came out, it was usually because I wanted to hear Shino's voice, or because I wanted to talk to Shino. Or, mostly for such peaceful reasons.
However, Shino knew very well that her beloved daughter was too far away, so it was natural for her to call her worriedly, so she never felt troubled by her mother's phone calls.
"that's right"
"You are right. By the way, Shino, that teacher is Serizawa-sensei.\"
\"Yes, Serizawa-sensei.\"
"Where's that teacher? How are you?\"
"Yeah. It's going great."
Alice Serizawa, whom I mentioned earlier, is now a former psychiatrist and became my personal physician.
First, it was my mother who introduced me to Alice. One day, my mother called me to recommend the hospital where Alice worked and said, "There seems to be a very famous psychiatrist in Tokyo with very good skills. Why don't you go there?"
On this suggestion, I went to the hospital for an examination. The person responsible for the examination was Alice, a famous psychiatrist.
Shino firmly believed that if her mother had not introduced her to the hospital where Alice was staying, she would not know what would happen to her now.
``That's good. What about schools? Have you ever been bullied or anything happened to you? \"
When Shino heard this, she thought of the school she had been trying not to think about before.
When I was at my old school, Airi and Kazuto said they were bullied by people who could compare to ugly girls. So a lot of the time I didn't want to go to school, but since I transferred from that school to my current school, I no longer have that problem, and I can still see Asuna and Rika. Being with other people every day, I can talk to them. It's fun and most importantly, I get to be with people.
Therefore, Shino could confidently say that the current school was like heaven.
And the ugly girls also died when I was in SAo, although I don't know why. If they were still alive, I might be worried that they would follow me after transferring to SAo Survivor School, but there is no need at all.
It would not be wrong to say that everything went smoothly.
"Yeah. School is fun every day. Unlike the previous school, I have a lot of friends."
\"Yeah, that's fine, but I didn't expect something like this to happen.\"
Things are going well now, but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't chaos from the beginning.
First, when Alice and I were captured by SAo. Alice's hospital staff informed her mother and grandparents that Shino had been captured by SAo. After hearing this, her mother seemed to panic, so she took the Shinkansen from her hometown to Tokyo and came to the hospital where Shino was.
It would have been nice if Alice could have explained it at that time, but Alice went to SAo like her, so she couldn't say anything to her mother. Therefore, the female doctor who was entrusted with the command by Alice at that time explained to my mother and calmed her emotions.
However, even so, her mother still worried about Shino every day, and she lost her temper several times. I spent every day like this, and after hearing the news that Shino came back alive from SAo, I went to Tokyo again and visited Shino directly.
When she reunited with Shino after returning from the death game, her mother cried and hugged her body, and Shino cried a lot because of the joy of being able to see her mother. I didn't care, I cried.
After some time, her mother received the news that Shino was going to transfer to the SAo Survivor School. Shino was being bullied in high school at the time, but she was told she could get away from it if she transferred to another school, which I did.
Thanks to this, Shino transferred to another school safely and was able to go to school with Asuna, Rika, Keiko, and Kazuto every day.
"Yeah. I think it's
"Yes. When I heard on TV that Shino was captured by SAo, I was not in a good mood. But I was really happy that Shino came back safely. I am happy that I was able to make many friends."
"Yes, it is true that an incident occurred that resulted in the death of many people, but from the bottom of my heart, I am very happy that things are like this. Mother, thank you for approving my transfer."
"You don't have to worry about that but hey, Shino
"Yes?"
\"Perhaps I will say something difficult to answer, but will you answer me?\"
"What's the matter, Mom?"
The mother on the other end of the speaker cleared her throat slightly, and then asked again in a clear voice, although her tone was a little staggering.
\"Yes, Kazuto-kun. The one who fell in love with Shino
"!"
What surprised my mother the most was that Shino was kidnapped by SAo, but the second thing that surprised her was that Shino had a girlfriend. I told him this a few days after Shino was discharged from the hospital, and Shino's residence was changed to a room in her current apartment.
When Shino heard that voice, she told everything. When I was taken away by SAo, there was someone who protected me, someone who knew nothing, someone who stayed with me, someone who protected me, someone who fell in love with me, someone who came to love me.
"And that person, I like him too, I love him." That person's name is Kiritani Kazuto. That person is going to the same school now.
At that time, Shino still remembered her mother crying in surprise on the other end of the phone.
\"Yes, Mom. What's wrong with Kazuto?\"
\"I don't know what to ask you, but how is your relationship with that guy? He's a really good person.
When she talks about her relationship with Kazuto, Shino of course tells her mother that Kazuto is a good person, someone she can be with, someone she can fall in love with.
However, my mother had never seen Kazuto, or even heard Kazuto's voice. "My mother must still be worried, because she has not yet confirmed the authenticity of Kiritani Kazuto's face, appearance, voice, and personality." Shino, who noticed this, nodded and said.
"Yeah. I think you did a great job.
"Did you have a fight?"
"Yes.
"Really?\"
“Also, I don’t know when, but I want you to meet your mother.
\"If you say so, then Shino really likes that person.\"
"That's what I wanted to say, but"
This is just a guess, but my mother is probably worried that she will fall in love with her after graduating from her current school. In fact, if you look at high school students and high school girls in other high schools, there are many people who fall in love carelessly and carelessly like this.
However, I have absolutely no intention of falling into such a light love, and whether I graduate from high school or college, I plan to be with He forever. I plan to love him. I don’t know if I will, but I want to get married.
"That's how I like Japanese people." I like Japanese things.
"I really like Kazuto. Kazuto accepted me for doing this. He promised to be with me forever. So, I love Kazuto very much so don't worry, mom."
\"Then, that's all. However, in exchange, I would like to ask you to let me see Kazuto-kun at any time. I'm really curious about who else has fallen in love with Shino.\"
"Yes, I will let you see your mother as soon as possible."
"Yes. Then please. That's right, Shino\"
"Yes?"
Even though her mother was not in front of her, Shino tilted her head unconsciously. Shino was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke to Shino again.
\"Then, if you want to live with Kazuto-kun in the future, just create a lot of happy memories with Kazuto-kun. Shino has been in pain for a long time, it's time for her to be surrounded by happy memories and become happy .
"So if things get tough or painful, wear an amulet your father left behind." It might be too visible to wear at school. \"
You should feel happy now - Shino felt warm in her heart when she heard her mother's gentle voice.
"Indeed, the painful days continue." Since I shot the robber with a gun, a series of painful things have happened. Since it's been going on for so long, I thought it would keep going like this forever, but once I entered SAo and met Kazuto, it just fell apart at my feet.
In the world of SAo, which is generally considered a cursed game, Shino found someone who knew her sins and accepted her, and someone who loved her from the bottom of his heart. Some people will become my friends.
They taught me that it’s okay to be happy. From now on, Shino thinks seriously about creating happy memories with Kazuto and everyone who accepts her.
\"Yeah. I have a lot of interesting ideas with people and everyone I'm thinking about, so?\"
When Shino said the word "memory", there seemed to be a light in her mind. My head, which had been a little foggy, suddenly woke up, my consciousness regained consciousness, and my back naturally relaxed.
\"Shino? Shino, what's wrong, Shino?
"...That's it"
On the other side of the smartphone, my mother tilted her head.
"Then mom, what do you want to ask me?"
"Oh, yes. That is"
Three days after Kazuto and Shino reconciled, the Kiritani family.
Kazuto was coming home from school on Friday when he encountered something that seemed very unusual. My mother is not at home often, or comes home very late, but she is at home normally.
I had to go home very late again today. I originally planned to have dinner with Suguha, but I also joined Lilan and Yui, and went to the living room as soon as I got home. I was greeted by the appearance of Midori.
At that time, Kazuto naturally asked Midori why he was at home, but Midori tilted his head and said, "Today is a day off, so it's natural for you to stay at home. Isn't it?" Kazuto.
Even if Midori asked him a question, Kazuto couldn't remember what Midori said at all, but Kazuto explained that Midori was basically not a lying mother. I've known this since I was a kid, so I realized I was just missing out on Midori's story.
After confirming that Midori was at home, Kazuto went to his room, took off his uniform, put on casual clothes, and quickly returned to the living room.
Usually after Kazuto comes home from school, he will check the current time, turn on the dormant computer, check emails, etc., and then start Amusphere and enter the fairy tale world. I'm going diving, but today I just turned on my computer and didn't try to launch Amusphere. Because when I came back I was told midori would talk to me.
I figured there wouldn't be a sermon or recent happenings, or maybe I'd stepped on a landmine without realizing it - I had a good feeling. At a loss what to do, Kazuto led him downstairs. I came to the first floor with anxiety and came to the living room. There, Midori was sitting on the couch, just like when she came back, but before she knew it, she had a smartphone in her hand and was operating the display.
However, just then, Midori put the smartphone back into his pocket and turned his attention to Kazuto, who had just arrived. As Midori watched, Kazuto sat down next to him and asked him what he was going to do.
"Then mom, what do you want to ask me?"
"Oh, yeah. That's how you've been lately."
"how have you been?"
"Yeah, you've been too depressed to go to school recently.
Indeed, after Shino suddenly said goodbye to him about a week ago, Kazuto was completely depressed and couldn't even go to school, let alone log into ALo. Moreover, I couldn't take a bath or eat at that time, but thanks to Kazuto's sudden change and the care of Suguha and Midori, I was able to take a bath and eat.
Later, after Kazuto learned about Shino's current situation from Asuna, he confirmed that it was not the time to be depressed yet, and logged into ALo to persuade Shino. After successfully restoring his relationship with Shino, he was completely back to normal, and he could even go to school if he could go to ALo.
However, in Midori's opinion, this series of events is nothing more than a strange phenomenon. Just looking into Kazuto's eyes, Kazuto shook his head.
"I'm fine, Mom. I'm fine now. Going to the doctor isn't enough."
"However, this is the first time you have encountered such a thing, so I am very worried. And what exactly made you become like this?"
\"Yes. It's Shino. There was a little problem between Shino and I.\"
\"Is Shino-chan the person you fell in love with in the game?\"
"Yes"
Midori doesn't know Shino. After returning from SAo, I chatted a lot with Rento and Midori about Shino.
I was a little confused at first because he seemed to be following Kazuto, but when I saw Shino wholeheartedly helping Kazuto recover, I realized what kind of person Shino was to Kazuto, and Midori immediately Just understand.
"It's not impossible for someone you like to play online games, but I didn't expect Kazuto to do that."
"To be honest, I didn't expect anything like this to happen."
\"And Shino-chan is the one who worries about Kazuto. Kazuto who never worries about others is now worried about Shino-chan. I became
\"Yeah. Yes, Mom.\"
\"You may ask some impolite questions, but I'll ask you again. Kazuto, what do you think, Shino-chan?\"
Regarding Midori's question, Kazuto thought he was indeed asking something impolite, but he didn't say it out loud. Because green is now like trying to see his determination.
He had guess the answer to this question long ago.
Poetry is my favorite person in this world, a person I can pour up, and the daughter I must protect and support. Moreover, unlike ordinary lover, they shared their memories that they are their other half and they are no longer wrong.
"My life is already from Asada." In order to live with Shi Nai, to be happy with Shi Nai, and to overcome many difficulties with Shi Nai. In the future, we will always be together to share all kinds of things with Shi Nai. I have also shaken because of all kinds of things, but in the hearts of people, he swears himself from SAO. In summary, he moved his mouth and looked at the green eyes.
\ "I am a mother. Since I was trapped in that world, I have been making a decision after I met Poem.
"What?"
\ "You say you will always be with Poetry, and you will always be with Shi Nai.
"Really?"
A mother who has lived longer than me and has experienced love, marriage, birth, and parenting. The mother is worried that she and Zhi Nai will only be in high school. After graduation, they will become the relationship between ex -boyfriend and ex -girlfriend.
In fact, I have heard of the relationship between high school students around him. It is not easy, and often hear couples who break up after graduating from high school.
Because my mother may provide more information than me, I guess she thinks that I and Shi will do this.
\ "Mom. Indeed, I sometimes quarrel with Shi Nai. But this is how I like Shi Nai. I don’t want to go out with a woman other than Shi Nai. \"
\ "Really, do you plan to live with Shi Nai in the future? \"
"Yes.
\ "Indeed, Xiao Shi is also thinking so. \"
In the end, I didn't say anything with others, just nodded. No matter how shocked I am, I have no intention of changing this answer. Forever, forever, I don't mean to change -and people have been staring at green eyes, with this sentence in my eyes. Green continued to stare at the black eyes of the people.
After a while, Lu's original serious expression showed a smile, put his hands gently on his cheeks.
\ "Are you strong with people? \"
"?"
\ "The eyes of people now are things that people can't see before going to SAO.
\ "I don't know if the eyes of people are so determined and prepared? \" "You are trapped in SAO and you are getting stronger there and then come back. "
""
\ "Indeed, this feeling was learned when I was in SAO. \" Until I was trapped in SAO and met Shi Nai, I didn't know that I could have such feelings, and I didn't know what would happen if this would happen.
Green is very happy that the son who once likes to play online games and does not want to see reality can now embrace the feeling of people who want to protect and love to him, and understand it.
\ "I understand and people's mood. I really like Xiao Shi Nai with people. He wants to be with Xiao Shi. I like Xiao Shi too much, and sometimes I am tired of her. "
"Yeah, that's right."
\ "So, with others. Make Xiao Shi happy, and make you happy together. Xiao Shi is a girl like a daughter like a daughter who has accompanied him wholeheartedly, because this kind of thing rarely happens. Not. Make girls a girl. \ "Like happiness is the worst thing a man can do. "
"certainly."
After speaking firmly, Lu smiled again and gently let go of the cheeks with people. Immediately afterwards, the green took a breath and tilted his head slightly.
\ "Then, we suddenly made a request to the people with the people. \"
"Uh, what are you going to do?"
\ "" And people, Xiao Shi Nai, you live in the apartment of SAO survivor. \ "
\ "Yes, but \"
Hearing the answer with people, Green laughed deliberately. As a son, he understands what he must think when his mother responds to such a reaction. At the same time, it is usually a huge content at this time.
Then, as his son's sweaty, he had a bad premonition on his chest, but the green seemed to be aware of it and laughed.
\ "So, please ask Xiao Shi Nai to have dinner tonight. Let's stay for one night. \"
"Uh. What are you talking about, mom?"
\ "Because I had never made a formal conversation with the little poem who was so fascinated with others. During the recovery of people, Xiao Shi was very desperate, and I couldn't talk to her. Well, I know you look, although. "
Think about it, Shi Nai talks to people every day, but her mother's green has hardly talked to Shi Nai. Naohiye became Lifa in ALO, and talked and played with Shi Nai as Shi Nai, but Green did not talk to Shi Nai.
\ "Yes, mother, you have never said to Shi Nai. \"
\ "Yeah. Then we invite people and Xiao Shi Nai. Tomorrow is Saturday, school vacation, there should be no problem."
When I was out of school today, the students around him were cheering. The reason is that today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, and the school is on vacation.
Of course, I also felt this joy, so when he returned home, dinner, after taking a bath, and ready to sleep, he immediately logged in to ALO.
I am considering going on a great exploration.
\ "I am fine, but this sudden requirement will Poetry accept it? Shi Nai will start preparing dinner earlier. \"
\ "Then I will contact you earlier. Even Xiao Shi Nai does not need to do dinner today, so I think it is very cost -effective? \"
"must"
After returning from SAO, Shi Nai and I have eaten a lot of meals, but they have eaten outside and have never eaten together at home. Besides, if you dig a little bit of Shi Nai's memory, you will understand, but Shi Nai has not eaten with many people for more than a year.
If I can invite Shi Nai to eat tonight, I, Shi Nai, Green, Zhi Ye, Lilan, and Yui will sit around the dining table to eat, so Poetry will be the first time in the dining table for a period of time. superior. satisfy.
In any case, I must introduce Zhi Nai to green. And the introduction should be as soon as possible. Midori's proposal was smooth.
\ "Understand. So, I will try to contact Shi Nai. But I don’t know if I can succeed. \"
"Yes, please contact me."
He nodded with someone temporarily, then took out the smartphone from his pocket and started it. I opened the phone book gently. When Shima's page opened, I touched the call and started the button and listened to the phone.
While listening to the ringtone, I raised my index finger in front of the green mouth, and made a gesture of "please quiet".
\ "Hey, people? \"
\ "Ah, Poetry. Can you call you now? \"
"I can do it. I just go home. \"
Shi Nai's residence is a room in the apartment, which is actually Shi Nai's home. After confirming this, he was relieved with a slightly relieved, and asked the poem on the other end of the smartphone.
\ "So. Poetry, did you go to buy things today? \"
"Shop? Why? \"
\ "Shi Nai, do you go home when you go home from school? Did you buy it today? \"
"I haven't been there before I haven't been"
\ "It turns out! So poetic. Sorry to speak suddenly. \"
"Yes?\"
"Are you coming to my house today?"
"Well!?\"
"Sure enough, as I expected, I think." Shi Nai was accustomed to surprise when he saw it too much. If he suddenly said that, he would be surprised. I imagined the expression of Shi Nai's expression on the other end of the smartphone, and explained the details with a smile.
After everything was over, Shi Nai had returned to peace, and after the words of people became sharp, she said to him.
\ "Yes, the mother of the people is for me \"
\ "Mom wants to see Poetry. So, she wants you to have dinner at my house, and then live in my house. I want to know, Shi Nai is okay? \"
Having said that, Shi Nai's words stopped temporarily. Poetry, who usually has a small rest time, will be silent for a while when thinking about something or not knowing the answer.
Is the situation of Shi Nai wrong? I was thinking that, and the person was about to speak, Shi Nai spoke first.
\ "Do you know, Harmony \"
"Really? Maybe it's not good?"
"Oh, no, it's not that. But there is something to talk to you alone, so just right."
"What do you want to talk to me?"
"Yes. So if I live in your house, is it okay? For someone like me, spending overnight \"
\ "It doesn't matter, because your mother said it doesn't matter. Poetry, you haven't sat at the table with many people for a long time, isn't it? \"
\ "Yeah, but isn't this an obstacle? \"
"This is not an obstacle. It doesn't matter."
When he said that, Shi Nai made a reassured voice, and he imagined Shi Nai's expression in his mind. Even if he couldn't see Shi Nai's face, as long as he heard Shi Nai's voice, he could understand Shi Nai's expression and state.
"Then I'll take care of you tonight."
"Yes.
"I won't bring such exaggerated luggage. So, people, please wait a minute."
"Okay, I will wait for you, just come."
"Yes. Please wait a moment"
The last sentence ended the call with Shi Na, and the people took the smartphone from their ears. When I turned to green, I saw a smile on her face. As long as he listened to the voice of people, he would definitely understand what kind of answer the Shi Nai gave.
"Xiao Shi Nai, it seems you are here too."
"Yes.
"If I can, I won't tell you from the beginning, and I have already bought the ingredients of four people."
\ "That is to say, you plan to invite Shi Nai to eat before telling me. \"
\ "Yes, since Xiao Shi is already safe, we have to start preparing dinner immediately. I have to ask Naoye to help. \"
Speaking, the green stood up and turned to the kitchen. Originally, it was enough to prepare three copies for people, straight leaves, and green, but this time it added Shi Nai, so the guest poems spend more time than usual, and the menu must be luxurious.
The time for Naoye to come back from school is almost coming, but can the two be able to catch up with dinner? "Open my mouth.
\ "I don't want you to help me. You can organize and clean the room by yourself. You have important things to say to Xiao Shi."
"!"
He was surprised to hear him so well, but he soon realized what happened.
Indeed, my room is not designed to invite guests, let alone poetry, so I need to sort out and clean it. i hate it
I don't remember the chaos in the room, but it seems better to obey the green instructions.
"Okay, I'll go here."
\ "Please do not log in to ALO. Ah, yes, if you can, please tell me the task and Lan.
"Understood"
When I heard my answer, I left the living room while operating the display of the smartphone with people, opened the phone book application, went to the stairs, and returned to his room. Fairy tale world. Call the daughter and friend at home.
\ "Aya, Lan, Lan is by your side. Actually \"
"So everyone is here? Look"
"" "" "Let's eat" "" "" "" ""
"It's 6:10 in the afternoon."
On the dining table of Kirita's family, dinner began in the loud noise of the six people. After talking with people and green for thirty minutes, they accepted the green request and contacted Zhi Nai. Zhi Nai came to He and people, and went home from high school at the same time at the same time.
At that time, Naoye was surprised. "How could the poems that should not appear usually appear here? \"
However, people and green are uneasy at this time. Because he was not sure whether the straight leaf would allow Poetry to spend the night. The idea of making Shi Nai stayed one night suddenly appeared in the minds of Green Island, and he did not talk to Naoye before going to school. Therefore, I was worried about whether Naoye would agree, but after listening to the story of the two of them, Naoye happily accepted Shi Nai's stay, which made me feel more at ease.
After understanding the situation, Zhiye immediately went upstairs, replaced the school uniform with a casual outfit, and started to prepare dinner with green. Thanks to the two people are used to cooking regularly, the preparation of dinner is progressing quite quickly. When it is 5.50, dinner has begun to prepare.
At this time, using the call function of smartphones, he asked Yui and Lan in ALO to not continue the task and eat in the private room of the hotel. It was both AI and the family of family members of different worlds. He obeyed his request and rented a room in the hotel in Jiudu Line.
After so many things, the six of us finally started dinner at 6:00.
I am very happy to know you, Xiao Shi Nai. I am the mother of people with people. "
\ "Ah, yes. Asaka, I am Shima \"
Hearing the green greetings, Shi Nai lowered his head gently. After receiving the greetings from the person who had never met or had seen but had never talked, he smiled bitter with Shi Nai.
\ "Poetry is nothing. Mom is not the kind of person who eats. \"
\ "Yes, Poetry is classmate. Please do not retract like this. \"
Shi Nai raised his head behind him and Naota. The two mothers smiled bitterly after being told by their son and daughter.
Shi Nai has seen this person before. That was when I came back from SAO and was hospitalized with people to help recover with others. I have seen this person several times. He must come to see the situation with people at the time. However, at the time I just glanced at him lightly and said hello, but never said face to face with him. In fact, this is the first time that Shi Nai has seen the green mother and straight leaves.
"I believe you are surprised by me suddenly inviting you to stay. I'm sorry."
\ "Ah, no. I thank you here for inviting me. But can someone like me come? \"
\ "I invite you because I think it will be good. Uh, I want to know what kind of girl Xiaoshi is. Thank you for accepting my sudden invitation. \"
Immediately afterwards, Lu turned his head to look at the peace sitting next to Shi Nai, showing a joke expression on his face.
\ "And people, you have grown into a boy who cannot be placed in the corner. Before I see you, you will get such a cute girl. A girl with rare items than any MMO Network.
\ "Don't make fun of me. Or more precisely, don't compare Poetry with the items in MMO Network. This is not a good way." \ "
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes." Then smiled. After listening to their dialogue, Shi Nai found that the enthusiasm of green and the enthusiasm for the game next to them found that the next person inherited the green. I don't know how much it has, but I am convinced that Midori is a considerable number of online gamers or is currently a continuous online gamer.
Even the two people who looked so similar must be very good -thinking that green turned to Shi Nai and opened her lips.
\ "Come on, Xiao Shi Nai. Although it's not a big deal, please eat it! \"
