Lost Narrative Poetry

"He" turned his head and looked behind him, briefly sizing up the girl who was holding two glasses of cold drinks and looking at him blankly.

"Is there a congenital lack of xcsda sense? It's really strange, but dashn is not a big problem... By the way, Kato-san, you just saw everything, right?"

"..."

"..."

Although the narration is abnormal and the source of the voice has always been erratic, it seems to be coming from the distant horizon or a whisper in the ear, and it is always mixed with broken noises, but the meaning is still conveyed very accurately. of.

So the girl hesitated for a long time, then nodded slightly and asked cautiously: "I saw it, so... should I forget about it? Or should I pretend not to see it?"

"He" suddenly laughed, walked forward a few steps, took a cold drink from the girl's hand very naturally, slowly opened the lid, and said in a beautiful voice like music - —

"It's not needed now, but orpdnm I hope you can do me a small favor... Don't misunderstand, this is not a threat, you can naturally refuse, I won't iikocn hurt you..."

"Oh..." Kato Megumi nodded subconsciously, and then she tilted her head again, as if she was confused by the dreamlike situation at hand.

But this is actually normal. Any ordinary person with normal outlook on life will doubt his own life and the whole world at this moment, and she is no exception. Probably only those who are extremely egoistic would insist that all this is a magic trick like a blind eye.

Even the abnormal sounds, weird lights and shadows, the two missing people... these signs are difficult to explain, and this secluded alley does not look like a pre-arranged magic stage at all.

But if people wishfully want to deny reality, what can they do?

Even Kato Megumi felt that her thinking was a little confused at this moment. She tried hard to think carefully, and then spoke in a very natural tone, wanting to ask a question, her attitude was calm and she didn't say anything, which was already shocking. A state of reverence.

"Yes and no, I'm just a magician of the same level. I'm not the classmate Xia Ran you know, but I'm not completely ignorant and have nothing to do with it..."

The being shook his head gently and said so calmly.

"My memory, personality, emotions, will, etc. are all based on the intelligence of Xia Ran and Yakumo Murasaki. I am both of them, but not all of them. It can be regarded as the intersection of two wills. A balance point of integration..."

"Well, before that, can I ask a question? Are you Xia Ran's classmate now...?"

——At this time, Kato Megumi’s question had just been asked.

This scene is a bit strange. Others have already answered the question, and her question has just been asked. And no matter how you look at it, her questions have fewer words than the other party's answers, so they should be spoken faster.

Because she didn't speak too slowly, and the person opposite didn't speak too fast either. She wasn't rushing to answer the question in a rapid-fire manner, but she just answered the question naturally. However, that's what made it seem weird.

It seemed that the concepts of fast and slow, first and last, had been overturned the moment "he" opened his mouth.

So for a moment, Kato Megumi's expression froze slightly, as if she could no longer maintain her composure. This kind of thing was also beyond her ability to understand, and it still felt like a weird and chilling feeling from the bottom of her heart.

"..."

"..."

"Huh? So fnjmo's behavior is very impolite?" Although the girl didn't say anything, the magician in the realm still laughed, "That's really sdghj rude, but you don't have to worry, I really won't do it to you. How are you……"

"He" will indeed not hurt Kato Megumi, because although "he" is neither Xia Ran nor Yakumo Murasaki, it can also be regarded as both Xia Ran and Yakumo Murasaki. All actions are equivalent to whether both people agree or do not object. manifestation of decision.

If it goes against anyone's will, there will be irreconcilable contradictions that cannot be transformed into real actions, and may even directly dissolve the current combined state.

The magician of the realm slowly ate the cold drink in his hand, and said quite calmly: "Next, Kato-san, you go directly back to Yukinoshita-san Levg, tell them to go find Hiki Snjidani Hachiman, and help me bring him In a word——"

This tone is not like asking for help, but more like some kind of prophecy, lightly declaring what will happen next, as if it is a limited necessity.

"What's the message?"

After regaining consciousness, Kato Kei took a deep breath and asked, but her expression didn't change much.

It wasn't that she wasn't afraid, but this situation was so weird that she forgot about her fear. She simply felt that her mind was in a mess. At this time, she couldn't think calmly and could only passively accept the reality.

In fact, it was emotions like fear, which were easily eliminated by the silent spiritual power of moisturizing things, without causing any waves.

Even the person concerned himself did not know that they had appeared, and the brain cells had no time to detect them before they were eliminated.

"It's very simple. If you want to rescue Yuigahama Yui, just go to Moriya Shrine..."

The magic user of the realm put the last spoonful of cold drink into his mouth, then threw away the empty plastic cup, accurately drew a perfect arc, and fell into the trash can not far behind him.

…

…

At the same time, in the exhibition hall of the electronic machinery manufacturing company.

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the large group of men and women in front of him who were chatting and laughing happily. He didn't know where their mood and energy came from. He really didn't feel like this right now——

Even the palpitations and random thoughts that always occurred instinctively when seeing Totsuka Ayaka in the past did not appear at this time... This is really strange. You must know that when facing this little angel, Hikigaya Hachiman is always in a state of confusion about his sexual orientation.

He has always been a salty fish with no ambition, just like his dead fish eyes, to the point where his whole body exudes the smell of mold and rot, but only when facing Totsuka Ayaka Only when you are young will you be full of motivation and feel that you have found a life goal worth fighting for your whole life——

Although, this direction of effort and struggle is a bit strange, like changing Japan's marriage law and marrying Totsuka Ayaka...

After looking not far away, he found Teacher Hiratsuka staring at him. Hikigaya Hachiman sighed again. Following the instructions from the female teacher's threatening eyes, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall, facing outside.

Seeing this, Hiratsuka Shizu didn't catch up and asked anything. Instead, she nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and started paying attention to the other students.

Hikigaya Hachiman could only smile bitterly. He finally understood why Hiratsuka Shizuka came here specifically to wait for him... Really, aren't these his private matters?

He just felt that it was not an option to continue like this, so he left Yuigahama Yui on the pretext of going to the toilet, so that the two of them would not continue to be in a stalemate like this, with nothing to say to each other, and the atmosphere was so embarrassing that it could kill flies.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he had a chance to slip away with his front foot, Hiratsuka Shizuka caught him on the back foot. After some serious threats... After a lesson, he suddenly came to his senses and planned to find Yuigahama Yui and get back together openly... …

Of course, this is Hiratsuka Shizuka's personal opinion of feeling good about herself. For Hikigaya Hachiman, it's simply that he was forced to do something... He really wanted to maintain his dignity and fight hard.

However, after comparing the difference in force value between the two sides, he felt that judging the situation is a good quality that a mature man should have.

——Perhaps he was actually expecting something in his heart, but he just couldn’t save the dignity to take that step. After all, he was the first to reject and hurt Yuigahama Yui...

Now Shizuka Hiratsuka forced him to find Yuigahama Yui, which gave him an excuse: "It's not what I want to go to, it's just Hiratsuka-sensei who forced me to go"...

After walking out of the gate of the exhibition hall and out of the range of the air-conditioning in the museum, the high temperature brought by the hot sun baking the earth suddenly hit my face. The scenery in the distance seemed to be distorted by the rising heat.

This area is not a shopping street, so it is not that lively. In addition, it is noon in the hot summer season, and there are not many pedestrians and vehicles on the streets outside. Although it can be said that there is an endless stream, but compared to the real bustling The area can be said to be sparse and sparse.

Hikigaya stood at the empty entrance and looked around, and soon saw a familiar meatball head.

I saw Yuigahama Yui hugging her knees, sitting under the shade of a green tree on the sidewalk not far away, pressing her cell phone alone. That figure looked very lonely.

Hikigaya Hachiman walked over mysteriously, hesitating not knowing whether to call her or not. He was originally going to walk out for a while and then go back to deal with business casually...

"Ah, I'm squatting at home..."

The girl may have noticed the boy coming not far in front of her through the changes in light and shadow, and raised her head to look at him.

For a moment, hearing this gradually familiar title, Hikigaya Hachiman had the illusion that he had returned to the previous relationship. Everyone was still friends, and there was no alienation now...

"..."

"..."

However, the silence that followed brought him back to reality. Just like before, Yuigahama Yui just said hello and said nothing after that.

Even when greeting each other, they still use code names instead of deliberately calling each other by first or last name, but it does not mean that her relationship with him is still the same as before...

For some reason, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain why.

Ah, if this doesn't work, what are you so anxious about? This is not a big deal at all. Can you just explain it casually?
