Daily life passes by at your fingertips.

On a sunny afternoon, Organ Natsui carefully read the library book, then closed it, and looked at the empty literature department with a strange look.

Since the past few days ago, Senior Sister Yichuan has stopped coming to the Literature Department, and she doesn't know what happened.

Could it be that it is because of Kashiwahara's affairs?

Organ thought about it, and sent a LINE to senior sister Yichuan.

It was not until the evening when she packed her schoolbag and was about to leave that she received news from Yichuan Liulixue:

【Sorry for some things at home recently】

The simple information was mixed with a hurricane. The organ put away the phone, and since the senior sister didn't plan to say that, she wouldn't ask.

Three days later

When the organ was in the literature department, she felt a hint of loneliness and heard the sound of the door being opened for a long time. She raised her little face with a smile, but she was shocked when she saw the person clearly.

It was undoubtedly the senior sister Yichuan, but she became thin and haggard, with a pale little face without blood, and she seemed to have lost weight out of thin air.

"Senior sister, you..."

"fine."

Yichuan Liulixue smiled reluctantly and moved over.

The tactful organ did not speak anymore, but just glanced at the senior sister from the corner of her eyes. She was keen to notice the sudden change in her senior sister.

Things are definitely not small.

When discussing illustrations with the organ, Ikawa Liulixue, who was still unable to concentrate on her. Finally, she carried her schoolbag and said that she might not be able to come to literature frequently recently and said goodbye.

Organ frowned, thought for a while, packed up the literature department, and walked towards Class A, Grade 3, on the stairs.

It just so happened that there was a boy on duty in the class. He knocked on the door politely and asked about what happened to Senior Sister Yichuan as if nothing had happened recently.

The other party didn't know the organ, but just thought it was Yichuan's classmate. Instead, he said in confusion that Yichuan Liulixue had not come to school in the past week.

This surprised the organ even more. He didn't come to class for a week, so what happened.

Thinking of the senior sister's unswerving eyes, the organ was secretly remembered in my heart.

...

The tram Ichuan Liulixue took was not the usual route, but a restaurant.

If my friends know about it, they must be surprised, because Yichuan, who is preparing for the college entrance examination, should not work part-time extracurricular work at this time.

The girl who had changed into orange work clothes looked at her distraught face in the mirror and barely cheered up.

Today she was going to explain to the Organ schoolgirl, otherwise she would have gone home to cook for the sun at the first time after school, and then ran to the place where she worked.

After packing up at around 9 o'clock in the evening, after saying goodbye to the store manager, Yichuan walked to the tram station and rushed home it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his younger brother sitting in front of the TV. The little boy remembered nothing. He didn't understand the meaning of his mother's fall.

Because Yichuan Liulixue coaxed his mother just to get sick, she would get better soon.

"elder sister."

When passing by the living room, Yichuan was about to go take a bath. Yang Tai called out to his sister in a low voice:

"When will mom be back?"

Looking at his aggrieved brother, Yichuan Liulixue squeezed out to smile:

"It's so soon, mom is back soon."

"But the food is cold these days, and it's all potatoes and bean sprouts..."

"Be good, just hold on for a while."

Because my aunt was sick, Qiu Ling's cousin and the store manager applied to change to morning and evening shifts. After taking care of the aunt in the hospital during the day, she would go home to cook before going to work. Yichuan Liulixue and her cousin took turns to the hospital to take care of their mother lying on the hospital bed.

At this time, she still coaxed her young brother.

After taking a bath, she urged Yangtai to go to bed.

"No, sister, it's not eleven o'clock yet..." Yang Tai acted coquettishly and didn't want to go back to the room.

"Sun is too!"

Suddenly, Yichuan yelled and scared his younger brother. When the young boy turned around and turned his head nervously, it was the first time he saw his sister getting such a big temper. He ran to the bathroom without saying a word to wash and return to the room obediently.

Yichuan pursed his lips and leaned against the wall with some weakness. At this time, Chou Ling's cousin pushed the door and came back.

"Liu Lixue, Auntie is fine."

Every time I come back, my cousin will comfort me like this. She is taciturn and doesn’t know what to do.

"I've been bothering my cousin recently..."

"fine."

Yichuan Liulixue hid in the corner of the narrow room, saying nothing under the hazy light, and the dark windows reflected her helpless pupils.

I still remember the despair after hearing the news a few days ago, as if the sky had fallen.

My mother has gastric cancer, which is also called advanced gastric cancer.

The early cure rate of gastric cancer is extremely high, but there is almost no hope of cure in the late stage, and Yichuan's mother's condition is in between.

In a regular hospital, after receiving reasonable treatment, it may be cured or it may not be cured, and no one can explain it clearly.

No one wanted to watch his family die, so even though his mother opposed it and wanted to be discharged from the hospital, Liu Lixue and her cousin tried their best to persuade them to stay. Relatives who heard the news from their hometown recently went to the hospital for a visit.

Although she reluctantly convinced her mother to wait for treatment, Yichuan's mother lost her job. After all, her poor physical condition is really not suitable for work again.

Then there is a more serious question, where does the cost of treating cancer come from.

Not to mention that advanced gastric cancer cannot be cured well, the cost is also astronomical to Yichuan's family.

The doctor seriously stated that Yichuan's mother's stomach cancer is relatively serious and is already in the late stage of advanced gastric cancer. She is prone to illness and advanced gastric cancer. It is best to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible, or even postoperative chemotherapy and auxiliary treatment are also essential.

Conservatively estimated, it will cost at least three to five million yen.

What is even more despairing is that even if the surgery is not successful.

I raised money from my relatives, but I was an ordinary family and I couldn’t raise much.

With a tough head and helpless attitude toward the confusion and helplessness of the future, Yichuan Liulixue worked part-time in the restaurant after class recently, and went to the amusement park to help on Saturdays and weekends. She could barely maintain her current situation, but it was not enough for the operation.

Yichuan Liulixue, who has lost her father, does not want to lose her mother anymore, to endure the pain of separation from life and death. Even if the sky falls and the earth sinks, she will grit her teeth and persevere with the suppression of the mountains.

Even though this weak girl has shown amazing strength recently, she still hid in the corner of the room and sobbed in the middle of the night.

The current pain and difficulties are nothing, but what makes people even more desperate is that they cannot see the direction of the future clearly.

The girl huddled in the corner buried her face on her knees, and after a long time, she slowly raised her slightly red eyes.

The girl painted someone with a pencil without saying a word, although she tried to portray the cheerful and sunny smile of the loved one, which was the most care she lacked at the moment.

However, before I knew it, what was depicted was a portrait of Kashihara staring at him with a blank expression. At that time, he would never show such an expression.

Click...

The tip of the pen was broken, accompanied by the sound of tearing, and the broken pencil was deeply engraved into the drawing board behind the manuscript paper.

‘Schooler…’

Under the hazy lamp, the girl with her head hanging down moaned and called the name of the person she loved. She wanted to be cared for and saved at this moment, and felt the warm embrace of her junior to dispel her inner despair.

However, Kashihara Junior must now hold another girl and show the smile she wants to see the most.

Before I knew it, the pencil on Yichuan Liulixue's fingertips kept trembling.

The manuscript paper with portraits was torn to pieces.

The shadow that sat withered until late at night did not move for a long time.

From afar, a humiliating barking of dogs came through the window.

On LINE, Miba Ono invited Kashiwahara to the commercial street in Funkyo District.

By the way, Kashihara told Asaha about Miha's childhood sweetheart about Ono very honestly that day.

“…”

Asayu, who thought he would delve into it, just glanced at him, seemed to be satisfied with his initiative to inform him, and snorted and ignored him, without warning.

Facing the crowd, I sat down with Mia Ono at a very good coffee shop, and there were not many people inside.

Ono Miba pulled Kashiwahara with a quick look, ordered a cup of matcha latte and cream puff dessert, and asked Kashiwahara with a smile what she wanted.

"Ah, is Miyu's boyfriend?"

The young female clerk looked quite familiar with Ono. She took advantage of the gap between Kashiwara's eyes and secretly pulled Ono Mia and said in a low voice.
