"quack!"

Yu Asakawa stepped on a dead tree. Although he stopped in mid-air in time, he still shocked the two crows on the treetops.

He quickly looked towards Haruhino Chisaka.

The girl still lowered her head and was not alarmed.

I felt a little relieved and then moved closer to the past step by step.

"This is……?"

Stop at about four tombstones from Kasuhino Chisaka and you can see the girl's side face.

"Are you crying..."

The girl bit her lips lightly, her fingers that were on the ground pressed tightly on the floor, and her shoulders swayed slightly.

The light is dim and it is hard to see if there are any tears on your face.

Asakawa Yu looked at the stone tablet in front of Kasuhino Chisaka.

Two Chinese characters are simply engraved on the stone tablet.

【Yusaka】

Who is Yuzaka?

At this time, he realized the difference between the author of the detective novel and the protagonist of the detective novel.

The outside author knows all the information about the incident and even the future direction.

But the protagonist can only see the pitifully few clues in front of him, and then solve the case with the "intellectual" and "courage" set by the author.

There are too few clues.

There was also more and more fog around Kasuhino Chisaka, but he did not have the strong wind that could dispel the fog.

‘Yusaka…Yusaka…Karuhino Chisuke, Haruhino Chisaka…’

etc.

An idea flashed through his mind, and scattered messages were stringed together.

Many Chinese characters have many different pronunciations in Japanese. The pronunciations of Yuzaka, Chisuke, and Chisaka are almost unrelated.

But if you write them down...

Immersed in reasoning, he quickly picked up a branch from his side and gently drew Chinese characters on the stone slab.

Sure enough... in Chinese characters, Chisaka and (Yui) are combined together, which is the name of Chisaka.

Yuzaka, is Kasuhino Chisaka's mother?

But why was it buried here?

"Are you following me?"

A cold inquiry suddenly sounded, scaring him out of his state of thinking.

The hand holding the branch trembled and threw the branch far away.

He raised his head and saw Haruhino, wearing a white dress, look at him coldly.

His sister's panda slippers were worn on his small and delicate feet.

"After all, you're wearing my sister's slippers." Asakawa Yu threw away the branches and slowly stood up.

"I'm afraid I won't go back?"

"It's not...haha," Haruhino Chisaka's body exuded a daunting aura. Asakawa Yu touched his nose awkwardly, thinking about what reason to make up. "Also, Haruhinosan was resting in my house for the middle of the night no matter what. "

He could clearly see that there were two clear tears on the other party's cold face.

The girl wrapped in ice has water that has not yet turned into ice in her heart.

A girl who looks cold and ruthless will cry too...

It is so weak that it is heartbreaking.

"so what?"

He knew she had nothing.

She knew he knew, too.

Both of them knew that the passage that Asagawa Yu said was not for the purpose of getting back to panda slippers and nighttime fees.

"Do you want to wait for me to collect the body for me after I die?"

The girl's voice fluctuated for the first time.

Asakawa Yu shook his head quickly.

"No, I just don't want to die."

Isn’t it too miserable for someone who has died once to be deceived by him?

For example, "I love you." "I hope you can live!", "There are so many wonderful things in this world!" I won't say anything like lies.

Asakawa Yu feels that it will be more effective to tell the truth.
