Ichinose Honami suddenly said this, and she smiled nostalgically. This smile naturally attracted my attention.
"Because Ryo had already confessed to me earlier than this."
An invisible scene suddenly penetrated my head.
One day, somewhere, there seemed to be a scene where I confessed to someone.
How long did it take? After four years, I finally recalled all the memories before I was ten years old. Honami Ichinose held me in his arms. This was an extremely gentle but reluctant person to let go. Embrace:
"Can you please Ryo confess to me one more time, even if it's in a dream?"
["Fan Bo."
After realizing that I was leaving with my adoptive people, I secretly ran back to my old house on the last day.
At that time, I may not have known what love was like, but when I thought about leaving Honami Ichinose, whom I had been with day and night, I couldn't help but feel sad and sad, and I spent a lot of time It took a week to accept the reality of his parents' death, but he was about to face the reality of being separated from her.
"Huh? Brother, are you back?"
Honami Ichinose still doesn't know the situation, she probably just regarded the week I disappeared as a trip away from home.
She watched with some surprise as I ran up to her.
"Actually, it's me."
My body was as tight as if I was being restrained, and my embarrassment was even more exaggerated than I imagined. As a child, I tried my best to recall the scenes on TV.
"I, I'm leaving soon."
"Eh?"
Ichinose Honami let out a confused sigh.
"This is the address of my new home. Fanbo can send letters here."
I wrote down the address of the house where I heard in the hospital that the person who adopted me lived, copied it on a piece of paper and handed it to her.
"Yet, there's more."
Tears welled up before I could even say anything. Ichinose Honami just stared blankly at me who was already crying. Children's crying is contagious, so she started crying with me. .
"I love sail waves!"
"That's what I want to tell you."
But in the end, I still said this.
Until later, the light of the white room covered up all the remaining memories of mine, or in other words, negated them all, turning them into dust and blowing them away. ]
[I have regained all my past memories and feelings. No, even if I forgot them, I still found you again and fell in love with you. ]
I nodded to her. The confession in the dream might be more perfunctory than the last time, but luckily it was a dream.
My consciousness began to dominate this dreamland. Although this brought me great mental pressure, I firmly started to act according to my ideas.
Kitagawa Ryo stretched out his hand to her, just like a transformation in a tokusatsu drama. Starting from the hand he extended, white brilliance began to flow along his palm, and began to appear from the white gloves, embroidered with elegant bamboo. The black piping with leaf patterns extended along the sleeves of his robe and up his body, until a straight and neat suit covered his whole body.
Centered around his feet, the bright red carpet extended all the way to the edge of the dream. The sky above them was bright with stars at this moment, and grand fireworks bloomed like flowers above their heads.
"I like you."
He kissed Ichinose Hanami's forehead lightly, and the white light flowed along the forehead and formed a white wedding dress on Ichinose Hanami's body. The pure white skirt was cut into countless pleated skirts, lightly The yarn is covered with another layer of mist. The uneven lace on the cuffs makes her more feminine, the white roses on the flower vines spiraling down from the shoulders, the well-tailored wedding dress, and the puffy skirt make her like a princess in the clouds, elegant and gorgeous.
"Well, what I like is Liang, not the kind of affection between family members, but the kind of affection between people of the opposite sex."
"This is my four-year-overdue reply."
Ichinose Honami replied.
So after she turns ten, she will no longer call Kitagawa Ryo her brother. She will just call him Ryo, just like he calls her Honami.
----------------------------------------
The black and white chess pieces are fighting on the chessboard under the command of the chess players.
Sakayanagi Yusu squeezed the chess piece in her hand tightly, pursed her bloodless lips tightly, and her knees were shaking slightly without even noticing it.
I want to close my eyes and escape, but the pointer is still ticking.
He wanted to stand up and run away, but his whole body seemed to be firmly fixed in place by nails.
The pure white house gradually dissolved like a dream, like pure white snowflakes falling on a hot red stove, pattering and disintegrating.
The boy who had lowered his head until now quietly raised his face, and his eyes were exposed in the slightly longer forehead. The pair of dark eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, seemed angry but not angry, and could not see any emotion captured her.
"Check (General)."
His fingertips pushed the black chess piece and took the final step towards Sakayanagi Arisu:
The sweetness and whiteness smeared on the dark memories were torn apart wantonly, and Kitagawa Ryo won the seventh game against the opponent.
It's not so much a competition as it is a crushing, one-sided massacre.
The incandescent lights on the ceiling are like twinkling yet fleeting stars.
The boundary line on the chessboard seems to be shaky and blurred.
Everything in front of him seemed to be separated by a thick film, and the surrounding sounds could not be heard clearly.
The thing welling up from my chest made me feel extremely depressed, and something was stuck in my throat, making me unable to speak.
"Then, game over."
Absurdity is singing loudly, and the truth after piercing the hypocrisy is often more cruel.
Kitagawa Ryo stood up and looked down at Sakayanagi Yusu for the first time:
"My false...sister."
----------------------------------------
"The target has jumped out of the window and escaped! Correction again, the target has jumped out of the window and escaped!"
Kitagawa Ryo, who fell from the second floor while holding Ichinose Honami, landed on his back first. Fortunately, he had chosen the lawn as a landing place in advance. There seemed to be no problem with his bones. He climbed up on the ground and pulled him Ichinose Honami's hand continued to rush towards the densely populated areas on the street.
"Hey, Sakayanagi, where's your support?"
The girl's cold voice came from the headset in my ear, but at this moment, it seemed to reveal a kind of annoyance as if she had just woken up:
"You have created such an excessive dream for me, and now you still want me to help you get rid of the White House's pursuit?"
"...Isn't this the world you want to defeat me with your own hands? Now you are not satisfied with it. You are too difficult to serve."
Kitagawa Ryo held Ichinose Honami's hand and ran away:
"What do those people want to do? I finally lived a stable life with Fanbo for two years."
"Is it Ryo Kitagawa?"
On the other side of the headset, the voice of another strong man suddenly came to mind.
"Hmm? Sakayanagi's father? Is he the chairman of Tokyo Higher Education High School?"
"it's me."
He replied in a deep voice:
"Actually, I have a way to protect you and Ichinose Honami when they are being chased by the White House."
"Hey, are you letting me and Hanbo into your school?"
"Unless you can think of a second way."
"Where is Hanami's family?"
"I will arrange for someone to take care of you, using my reputation as a guarantee."
"...Why are you helping me like this?"
"I need you to prove your worth."
Kitagawa Ryo stopped and asked with interest:
"How to do it?"
"A competition with Shiroya's crowning masterpiece, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, in chess and fighting."
"You have to win them all."
ps: This chapter is about the real world for three weeks, and there is still the last chapter left in this simulation.
ps2: Thank you for your reading and support. I have learned my lesson. It is indeed the first time for me to write this kind of thing. I'm sorry_(:з」∠)_
The Summer of Ichinose Honami Reappears: Chapter 34: The Third Ending (Part 1)
[The player has used the temporary talent card, and based on the current simulation situation, relevant talents are being drawn for the player:]
[You have obtained the talent "Grand Master (Gold)"]
[Grand Master: You have reached the level of an international grand master in the field of chess (only in chess)]
"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."
"Oh, it turns out to be that person's son. It seems that he does have some kind of almost unreasonable paranoia about this kind of education method. Even his own son did not hesitate to invest in this plan with a 100% failure rate. "
"What? In the end, he became the only successful case in that period. Hey, plus his identity, will it give people a feeling of default?"
Kitagawa Ryo was sitting on the spacious sofa, flipping through the information in his hand and talking casually.
"You didn't seem to be so talkative before."
Sakayanagi Arisu on the side narrowed her eyes and smiled. Although she said this, she seemed to enjoy the current atmosphere. Of course, it would be better if the woman sitting next to Kitagawa Ryo was not there.
"Isn't it all thanks to you who sent me to the White Room? I have to use the power of emotion to prove the limits of human beings. I don't know why Sakayanagi has such an idea."
"Actually, I just wanted to use a counterexample to prove that Shiroya's philosophy was wrong. If Ryo cares, I can apologize to you."
Sakayanagi Yusu bowed slightly, showing impeccable formal etiquette.
"...That's not necessary. Anyway, now we are just using each other."
Kitagawa Ryo lowered his head and flipped through a pile of information in his hand:
"If you're really sorry, don't use the title 'Ryo' anymore."
Kitagawa Ryo raised his head, his tone was still lazy, but Sakayanagi Yusu could see through his pupils that he was serious.
"Just like I call you Sakayanagi, you can just call me Kitagawa."
"...Yeah?"
Sakayanagi Arisu sighed softly and seemed to want to say something more, but Honami Ichinose pointed to a certain part of the material more actively than she did and said:
"Ryo, look here."
"Huh? Here?"
Seeing Kitagawa Ryo whose attention was completely attracted by Ichinose Honami, Sakayanagi Yusu just shook her head slightly. She inexplicably regretted why she implanted 'Ichinose Honami' in Kitagawa Ryo's mind. She stared at the side face of Kitagawa Ryo, who was meditating on countermeasures, and absentmindedly fiddled with her nails.
"'Supreme Masterpiece'?"
"If calculated by time, I should actually be a fourth-generation student of White House like Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, but I was a non-staff member at the time, and I couldn't compare with him in terms of age when I entered White House or the time I spent studying. "
Kitagawa Ryo looked at the information in his hand and sighed:
"Looking at it this way, in terms of strength on paper, he should be able to crush me."
"Joking aside, after all, the White House is a real 'learning hell', unlike me, an unemployed person who has been doing nothing for two years."
"If you can show the strength that defeated me two years ago, I don't think you will lose to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, at least in chess."
Sakayanagi Yusu seemed a little dissatisfied with Kitagawa Ryo's attitude. She tapped the table lightly with her cane:
"I have met this Ayanokouji Kiyotaka once before in the White House. His chess level at that time was already on par with mine. According to this standard, you should not be too afraid if you can beat me in chess. He is."
Kitagawa Ryo just shrugged when he heard this. He turned to Ichinose Honami and asked:
"What do you think of my chess skills?"
"Well."
Honami Ichinose thought hard before he found a description in his mind:
"Amateur level?"
"That's pretty much it!"
