It was lunchtime, and the classroom was noisy. The girls were putting their desks together to prepare for lunch.
Orihime brought her huge group of friends and family over to invite me to join her. I smiled and shook my head."I'm sorry, I'm a little dizzy. I plan to go to the health room to rest for a while.”
"Ayahara-kun, you have to eat!”
" I'm fine with it," I said with a smile to Long Gui, who looked disapproving." It's just that a gentle person like Inoue-kun will definitely lose the mood to eat when I have no appetite…"
Long Gui and Chizuru, who had always been overly protective of Orihime, were indeed hesitant. I took advantage of the situation and said with a smile,"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself!”
It was successfully settled.
When I arrived at the science classroom, Yu Long had already set up the tables and chairs before me.
He was sitting on the stool with his arms around the back of the chair, and he was reading a magazine with full concentration.
Not wanting to disturb him, I held my breath and walked over. My eyes were on the headline-" Top Secret! The latest lace case is revealed!" At this moment, Yu Long pushed up his glasses." Aya-kun, why are you like a cat? You don't even make a sound when you walk."”
"Eh? Didn't hear anything? Then how did Ishida find me?”He placed the box of Sushi on the table.
He raised his head and smiled at me smugly."Although I can't feel any spiritual pressure, your aura is really obvious.”
"Seriously, why are you keeping me in suspense? Quickly reveal the mystery!”
His expression became very gentle as he looked at my puffed up face." As long as Ayaharakun is present, the air around us seems to have been purified." He pushed up his glasses and lowered his head in embarrassment." It's like a strange breeze is swirling around you."”
" Ah, it's probably because of the Wind Barrier…" I picked up a piece of Sushi as I spoke to him.
"Wind Barrier? You used it to land yesterday…" Her eyes were attracted by the high-end piece of Sushi in my hand." Oh, it's 'Song'!”I heard that it's because he doesn't get along with his family. Yulong is shouldering his own life, right? It was said that he lived a simple life.
I, who was leaning against the window, smiled and made a 'please' gesture to Yulong."If you don't mind, please have some."
The science classroom was located on the top floor of the teaching building. The view here was wide and overlooking the campus. I stood by the window and looked up at the high sky. The breeze blew in my face and I felt very comfortable.
"Don't tell me that Ayawa-kun eats takeout food like this every day?" Yulong's voice came from behind.”
I nodded.
"Then, let's exchange."
What was that? I opened my eyes wide and turned around. I saw Yulong placing the food he had cooked on the box lid--and carefully arranging it in a neat pattern--then holding up half a box of appetizing dishes to me.
Can I? Under my gaze, he used his usual serious and long-winded style to answer seriously," Take-out food contains excessive amounts of preserving agents, and there's no guarantee that it's fresh…" After explaining a lot, the conclusion was,"…very unhealthy." Therefore, you should reduce the amount of takeout food to half in the future.”
Although he was beating around the bush, what he meant was…" In the future…can we exchange like this?”
"There's nothing wrong with that." He seemed to be saying something as if it was a matter of course. He didn't realize how great his job as a " pet owner " was... cooking for me every day? I was greatly touched by this gentle and good child again.
After lunch, as I lay on the windowsill, my eyelids unconsciously became heavy. Last night wasn't like sleeping. The mental consumption was more like fighting a fierce battle.
Lying in my arms, I gradually fell asleep.
The wind blew past.
The leaves rustled.
It was a quiet park in the middle of the street. This scene looked so familiar. Hey, wasn't this the place where I met Amagasaki after school yesterday? But wasn't I in the science classroom? Looking around, she saw a white figure.
She was looking up at the sky. No, I shouldn't say " she ". That was me. He was wearing an open-collared Japanese robe with a wide cloth belt around his waist. He looked like a costume from a period drama. Not only was he dressed in retro clothing, but his temperament was also…like a historical figure who had walked out of the painting directly from the era of samurai and daimyo.
Her silky silver hair fluttered in the wind. That figure was like the moon shining alone on the other side of the sky. Because it was far away from the world, it had a soul-stirring beauty.
There was not a trace of emotion on her exquisite and clear face. She was neither good nor evil, neither happy nor sad. Anyone who saw her could not help but feel sorry for her. She did not look like a real person, but she also seemed to be out of place in this world.
She also told me what she was thinking about. An existence with great power could not be happy, sad, or have any desires. Because all of this would become the power to erode and distort the world. Hey, hey, was my power that exaggerated at that time? Just as he was feeling puzzled, the sound of a tree branch breaking could be heard.
Void? I slowly turned around, looking for the owner of the footsteps. Then, his gaze met something lying there.
He was wearing a pair of cotton bear pajamas, and his fingers were so hard that they turned white. He probably fell a few times on the way here, and his pants were very dirty from mud and leaves.
Trapped by a tree root, he fell to the ground energetically. She tried hard to raise her head with her elbow. A pair of energetic brown eyes filled with doubt and calmness met my gaze.
It wasn't fake. From the looks of it, it was a human youth. No, it was a human youth. To be more specific, it was an acquaintance. To me at that time, this eight-year-old boy was my good friend's son. To me now, he is…Ichigo Amagasaki.
'Ah? You are…the one who came to visit today…Miss Shiren?'A miniature version of the orange head swayed in front of him.
I nodded. Then, she helped him up and took out a handkerchief to wipe the dust off his face.
He had almost figured out what was going on. I thought to myself,'Why did I dream of my childhood all of a sudden, and then dream of it all of a sudden... Since there is no connection between the dreams and the chaotic order, then there must be some connection between the dream and reality.' Did I dream of Ichigo because I saw him? Then what kind of stimulation was it for him to dream of Tong Jun from yesterday? As I thought, I continued reading.
" What are you doing here so late at night? It's very dangerous. I leaned over and rubbed his head affectionately.
Ichigo seemed to be still in shock."…I saw something white and light through the window.'he said in a daze.
"Floating?" I lowered my head to look at my clothes. The hem of my moonlight-colored long coat was filled with wind. So that was how it was. From afar, it looked like a white, floating thing.
"I thought it was a ghost or something. I can't really tell the difference between a living person and a dead person…" He scratched his head in embarrassment."Because I saw a ghost so close, I was afraid that it would hurt my mother and sister, so I came out to chase it away…"
"So that's what happened." What an energetic little brat. I revealed a very gentle smile.
…She was stunned by her own smile. Was that guy practicing his smile in front of the mirror for an hour every day like a salesman? Wait a minute, this is too stupid, why am I complaining about myself? Could it be that I've been infected by Yulong, that complaining guy…
" Then, congratulations, Lord Warrior, for reaching the finish line.'I raised my sword to my chest and bowed to him with the etiquette of a warrior.
Ichigo looked confused. Then, as if she was shy, her face turned red and she imitated my actions to return the favor.
Then, the two of them, who were pretending to be serious, broke into laughter.
Sitting next to me on the long swing, Ichigo blinked and looked at me."Miss Shi Ren?"
"Hm?"
'Why in such a place? It's very dangerous at this hour.
He didn't expect to be asked a question. Because it was inconvenient to answer, I blinked ambiguously.
"The wind is strong. Is it cold?" I smiled and put my arm around his young shoulders.
"I won't be cold!" He pouted and moved his butt, moving his body to create a fist's distance between us.
I looked at his trembling shoulders in amusement. Should we get closer? He wanted to ask this question, but he decided against it.
Boys of this age didn't want to be treated like spoiled little ghosts. This stubbornness makes me feel very cute, so I don't have the heart to destroy this will. The warm wind wrapped around him.
'Is this a real saber? Can I touch it? The little guy's gaze shifted to my saber.
'Of course. I handed the hilt to him, the sheath still in my hand.'It's not a toy. It'll be dangerous if you don't use it.'
"Yes!" He held my long knife carefully and his breathing became rapid. After looking at it excitedly for a long time, he glanced at his wooden saber, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
No matter how young they were, as long as they were boys, they would not be able to resist the temptation of swords. Thinking of my two younger brothers at home, I patted him affectionately.'Do you want power, Ichigo?'
"Yes!" He nodded desperately, his expression urgent. Her orange hair was like the color of the sun, and her palm felt a little hot. Was it an illusion?
" Can you tell me why you want to obtain power?'
'Because I want to protect my most important mother, my sister, and that stinky old man…In short, I want to protect everything, because my name-Ichigo-means to protect everything!'The child raised his head and shouted at the half-moon starry sky.
I laughed out loud with a soft heart,'Ichigo, isn't it strawberry?'
"Miss Shi Ren!" Her little face was flushed red, and she was unhappy that she had been teased. Ichigo pouted, his brown eyes looking as if they were wet. They were clear and lively as he glared at me with dissatisfaction.
"…" After an unknown period of time, they seemed to have exchanged many whispers.
" It's very late. It's already past the time for good children to go to bed.'Although she was a little reluctant, she still urged him to go home.
'…Am I in your way? Then I'm leaving…'Ichigo answered reluctantly.
" That's not true. Actually, I was feeling very down just now. Ichigo's appearance helped me a lot. Just now, I was thinking that it would be great if I could talk to someone.'His brown and gray pupils intersected.' Maybe it will take a little longer. Can you accompany me?'
……
"…Aya-kun!"
The scene in front of him shook violently. Was there an earthquake? No, it was quiet all around. The moon was high in the sky. The two of them sat on the swing and swayed gently. The atmosphere couldn't be any better.
"Ayawa-kun, class starts in five minutes!”
He slowly opened his eyes that were outside the dream.
“！”
Yu Long's big face!
She was shocked." Ishida…Ishida…Thank you…" She blinked in confusion.
" You're welcome..." Yu Long stared at me carefully." Hey, my throat is hoarse. I caught a cold!" Seriously, how can you sleep in front of the wind?! " I should have called you earlier…" He first reflected on himself, then suggested," Ayahara-kun, you seem to lack sleep. Do you want to go to the health room…"
" It's okay, I just woke up," I interrupted him with a smile." The bell just rang. It's not your style to be late.”
Hence, she was dragged to the classroom by the top students.
Rushing to the classroom door, Yu Long suddenly stopped. After tidying himself up from head to toe, he calmly pushed open the classroom door.
How pretentious! He walked into the classroom while cursing Yulong in his heart.
When she passed by Ichigo's seat, her heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that we met so long ago…but whether it was him or me, we had all lost this memory.
Looking at his past self from afar was like watching a movie. At that time, I was very touched, but now that I'm watching my own memories, I can 'see' the scene, but I can't 'see' my feelings.
This sadness was a small problem. What was even more depressing was that I used spiritual pressure to control the air…The power I had at that time, as well as my understanding of power, far surpassed the current me.
When he realized how powerful and dazzling he had been in the past, his current self seemed to have turned gray and shrunk into a small ball, eager to be hidden in a corner. No, I don't want to lose. I don't want to lose to her at all. I want to conquer my memories---conquer myself in my memories, and find a place for me now.
