Kim Ji-soo and him were already in a dark night.

At this time, even if they looked at the northern sky, the only things they could see were the stars, the moon and the lighthouse.

After putting aside the thoughts that the stars cannot be grasped and the moon cannot be climbed,

She believed that the lighthouse was in Taki Yi's heart, just like the dazzling sun.

In the darkness where one couldn't see anything, a strong light in the shape of a long pillar was emitted.

"That's right, I was here because someone said this to me."

Taki half-squinted his eyes. If he had asked Sakura why he wanted to go there, he probably wouldn't have been able to get an understandable answer.

But now, he clearly knew what Jin Jixiu was thinking.

Such longing and anxiety, if I didn't stare there like this every day in the past.

Feeling the light lengthening little by little, others will not understand this feeling.

Staring at the night sky in the distance, when the light from the lighthouse shines on the clouds, you will find that those clouds that have always been there are flying in the night wind.

Some stars are hidden in these clouds, sometimes emitting faint light, sometimes very shining, all of which pave the way for the existence of the lighthouse as a background.

The light formed by the stars and clouds is penetrating deeply into the dark curtain, flickering but very real.

Letting the curly hair on his forehead sway with the wind, Taki opened his mouth and said.

"do you know?"

"What?"

"Actually, when I was young, I used to think that the lighthouse was the end of the world."

This sky is surrounded and eroded by the forces of dark colors, and all these changes are carried out in this gentle atmosphere accompanied by the twinkling of stars and the lingering moonlight.

In the gentle darkness, the gentle light gradually seeped out.

The end of the world, this was his concept of that tower.

When I was very young, I imagined that the lighthouse would extend to the end of the universe and connect with other planets.

It is such a huge building that can't help but arouse people's imagination.

"It's not just me, many people here think of it as the end of the world."

The clouds within reach seemed to be flying away, and the sound of wind could be heard in my ears.

The power of the wind could roll up Jin Zhixiu's long hair, and she stroked it again and again.

"It's surprising, right? But until this moment, I still firmly believe that it is the end of the world."

In Miyamaki Village where Takiichi lives, as long as you can see the sky, you can definitely catch the lighthouse with your eyes.

Just like the stars, moon and sun can be seen in the sky forever.

That lighthouse must also stand in the sky to the north of this village.

"But isn't this land?"

Jin Jixiu just felt incredible.

If you look at this place from the map, the land of Sakura Country is not located at the center of the entire earth.

But Takiichi said this, as if he was overthrowing her long-standing views bit by bit.

"Since there is land, its end should be the sea. How can it be the end of the world?

The land also starts from here to reach the sea."

“There were very few people who lived here before who were able to get out.

Tokyo was also a city built from the sea one or two hundred years ago, so people here believe that this is the end of the world."

The wind covering their bodies blew against the plants in the yard, making a wave-like sound.

This feeling is like being on the beach, staring at the ebbing tide, and the sunset falling below the horizon in a dream.

But in reality, they were still sitting outside the window, and Jin Jixiu subconsciously approached her.

If the distance between each other was twenty centimeters before, now it may be less than five centimeters.

Takiichi pointed to the lighthouse in the distance in the darkness, "I heard from my father that that lighthouse was built by a mother a hundred years ago for her son who left the village, and she spent her whole life building it.

The mother missed her son who had not returned for a long time here every day. People felt sorry for the mother and continued to build this lighthouse after her death.

People at that time prayed that the child could follow the light of this lighthouse and return to his mother."

"Then...did that son come back to look for his mother later?"

"I don't know, but it is said that there is a legend in Sanshanmu Village that people who parted on the land illuminated by the lighthouse will one day meet again on this land."

Takiichi jumped down from the window and stepped on the balcony with his bare feet.

This is a small area less than one meter in length and width. It used to be a place for placing bonsai, but it was cleared away long ago.

"Reunion?"

Jin Jixiu stared blankly at his back in front of the balcony.

"The legend says this, maybe because it is believed that the lighthouse is the end of the world, so the other world also starts from here."

Here you can see the broadest sky and the farthest horizon.

In the reality that Takiichi believed, perhaps the lighthouse as the boundary was the center of the world.

Looking from the center of the world to all directions, there seems to be nothing artificially carved here.

Everything here is so satisfying.

"A long time ago, I once made a wish with a man on the top of that lighthouse and facing the moon that night.

After our separation there, we have never met again until now."

In Takiichi's eyes, he seemed to be slowly describing Sakura's figure with a pen.

Jin Jixiu saw it. In those eyes that were staring at her, what existed was not her own figure, but something like another person.

This is a complex psychology that makes people feel a little lost and a little curious.

It seemed that there was no need to guess the identity of the person who made the agreement in his mouth.

Do you think about things when you see them? Maybe this is the case for Takiichi.

At that time, I was stepping on the somewhat old iron ladder, spinning upwards little by little.

The two of them walked in tandem, aiming for the same goal, and stopped after reaching the top.

The teacher guarding the lighthouse recognized them and graciously allowed them to stand under the light of the lighthouse, overlooking the night view of the entire Sanshan Village.

At that time, Takiichi stood beside her, casting his gaze in the distance.

However, she still cannot erase Sakura's figure from her mind.

"Na...Taki-san."

When Sakura stroked the hair beside his ear, the sound of the wind blowing reached his ears.

This voice made Takiyi, who was in the midst of memories, couldn't help but glance to his side.

At that time, Sakura wore a scarf around her neck as before.

Speaking of which, it was the first time that Takiichi knitted a scarf for a girl, stitch by stitch, and she was wearing the same hooded windbreaker.

But paired with her body, it looks like a child wearing adult clothes.

In the sky above the lighthouse in winter, you can sometimes see the white smoke exhaled from Sakura's mouth in the clear air.
