After receiving a glass of water and handing it to her, Kanbaru went to the yard to pick a few fresh early-maturing oranges and peeled them for her to eat.

I’m worried that I’ll find a plush blanket for her to wear later.

After eating a full meal, I also ate potato chips and oranges, and I wasn’t cold anymore.

Xiao Qi Mingyue, however, held the blanket to warm her body and continued to lower her head.

[Kamihara Raku] sat next to her and saw that she was still a little unhappy. He continued to tell her some interesting things or stories. He also took out A Ling's toys for her to play with.

When they got to the back, Xiao Qi Mingyue looked at him several times.

The stories he told were quite fascinating, and Xiao Qi Mingyue was entranced several times.

......

Afterwards, grandma came home, and [Kamihara Raku] explained to her grandma, but grandma didn’t say anything about the existence of the little girl.

I just got her mother's phone number from her mouth and contacted her via landline.

In the end, her mother and sister came to pick her up.

At this time, Xiao Qi Mingyue could still feel that her stomach was full, and the aroma of the fried rice was still lingering in her mouth.

She is reluctant to let go of her brother who wants to kidnap and traffic her today.

"After I go back, will I see my brother again?"

"Of course, you are welcome to come and play at any time."

Until the moment her sight completely disappeared, her eyes were still on him.,

.......

I don’t know if it’s because dreams often don’t match the real world, but this period of time went on for a long, long time.

For several days.

From the initial encounter to the next day, Qi Mingyue, under the guidance of her mother, went to play with him.

Later, she went to play with him by herself.

As for [himself], he was bored anyway, so he took her and the two to visit all the scenery around the village.

He took her to climb mountains, took her and A-Ling to fish by the creek, made a fire and barbecued branches, took her on a boat trip, and took her to the beach to fish.

Tell her where there are cat nests and sparrow nests in the village.

He even took them to steal one or two oranges from the orchard in the next village.

Although this is indeed a bit unkind and a sudden whim, the feeling of running wildly with two little girls is indeed quite exciting.

Oh, by the way.

Ah Ling was so anxious that she froze on the spot and cried loudly because she failed to climb over the wall when there was a big black dog in the yard.

Then the lady of the orchard was alarmed. Unexpectedly, she was a friend of my mother's.

Naturally, the three of them were left here and spent the whole afternoon cleaning the ground as compensation.

Visible to the naked eye, Xiao Qiyue became cheerful.

Kanbaru watched the whole journey and was mostly filled with emotion.

Later, Xiao Qiyue became more and more interested in playing with herself.

She even went against her mother's wishes and ran out before completing her piano lessons.

Just to sneak a look at him.

Naturally, she faced punishment from her mother, who banned her from practicing.

After the lockdown ended, it was also the night when the rainy season ended.

[Self] Help A Ling bury her fireflies.

It was from here that Kanbaru noticed something was wrong.

——I always tell her about Sherlock Holmes and how powerful and smart the Sherlock Holmes is.

Xiao Qi and Mingyue are all enjoying it.

She was probably in a bad mood today because she couldn't match her sister's talent at the piano. When [I] noticed this, I started to encourage her and made a promise to her.

——An agreement was made: "Next time we meet, as long as you learn a little more, I will prepare an extra story you like in exchange."

Xiaoqi Mingyue asked [himself] why.

[Myself] replied to her: "Because I quite like people who know everything."

When Xiao Qi Mingyue heard [her] words, she lowered her head and looked at the ground, as if repeating this sentence again and again.

I even checked the box and made a promise.

......

When Kanbaru saw this, he wanted to slap himself.

Is this a sin of your own making?

......

When saying goodbye, [I] waved to her, and she stared at me from a distance.

The eyes are full of reluctance.

This scene.

Let Kanbaru understand it directly.

Why Qi Mingyue? Why does Qi Mingyue know so much knowledge?

Why does she like to read books.

Why can she answer just by asking her?

In fact, she doesn't like these things that much at all.

Rather, these things are the goals I brought to her.

She has always been moving forward because of the agreement she made with her.

After more than ten years, she had learned so much knowledge, but he never brought her a story that interested her.

——This is the penultimate day before she leaves.

In the early morning of the next day, at the last moment when she was about to go home, she came to say goodbye to her.

She was very reluctant and invited him to go home with A Ling and herself.

She will introduce him seriously to her mother.

This is naturally impossible.

"There will be a chance to meet in the future."

——My words seem to be inexplicably convincing to Xiao Qiyue.

She spent a long time trying to convince herself and then made a promise to him:

She will definitely come back to him.

And at the end, he gave her a shark keychain as a gift.

......

From here on, the dream scene becomes chaotic and disorderly.

The airport, looking back when returning to Tokyo, leaning against the airplane window and looking down with reluctance, the little girl sitting alone in the room looking at the moon, a notebook filled with circuit diagrams, the father's reproach, the sister's crying, and the constant

The sound of the train continues to ring in my ears.

There seems to be a long memory behind this.

But Shen Yuanle frowned, and his consciousness deviated in chaos and disorder.

The sky in the real world has already brightened up, and the winter sun shines slantingly into the house.

Kanbaru opened his eyes, as if he had escaped from a long dream.

It also has the aroma of green apple, and it feels very soft to the touch, so soft that you can’t help but pinch it twice.

Wait, the smell of green apple...?!

Only then did Kambara realize that he had hugged Xiaoqi Mingyue, whose face had grown many times more mature, and that she was in his arms.

Snow shoulders are exposed, hair is hanging down, and he looks at himself expressionlessly.

Kanbaru's right hand subconsciously retracted. There was still rebound.
