60

Under the grand night scene of fireworks blooming, the girl's smile is painted on it.

This is the best ending for you and me.

Speaking of which, I only have one strong point.

Whether it's studying, sports, or even interpersonal communication, everything is at an average level.

But as long as he deceives himself, he is really good at it.

After all, I learned a long time ago that if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.

I gathered up my self-esteem that had long been shattered to pieces and roughly stuck it with tape. I forgot all about the thumbtacks in my indoor shoes, the animal carcasses on my desk, and the cold water poured on my head. Obviously just to escape from this, he even went so far as to do it to himself and cut a hideous scar on the top of his head.

But today, I plan to personally overturn the protective wall I have built with all my strength. I want to stand in front of him and prove to him that I can survive alone.

You can obviously continue to use him, continue to lie, and continue to keep him.

Obviously the other party also said that he needs someone to rely on.

It's obvious that he always acts to protect himself.

But in the end, she decided to push him away, because he also has his own life, his own worries, his own ideals and what he wants to do. He is walking on another road parallel to his own.

I don't know why, but I felt a little bit proud when I made this decision.

It's my first time to play a role that shows off its strength and looks cool, but it feels good.

Because for the first time, I confirmed my true feelings, and then I understood my true self.

Karuizawa Megumi simply likes Kitagawa Ryo.

So, tell one last lie.

This time, it's not for myself, but for him.

----------------------------------------

Last night, Kitagawa Liang dreamed about the past.

Both Karuizawa Megumi and him are still minors.

It must be because I saw Megumi Karuizawa at the wedding yesterday for the first time in a long time.

In the first class cabin of the plane destined for Tokyo, there was no one except Kitagawa Ryo.

After all, it was an early morning flight, and Kitagawa Ryo wouldn't have booked it if he wasn't in a hurry.

The plane departed from London and headed towards Tokyo.

In the past ten years, Kitagawa Ryo has been riding this line, probably hundreds of times.

I'm used to seeing the scenery and seeing the packages I'm used to, but it still feels different.

Kitagawa Ryo sighed softly and wanted to support his face with his hands, but as soon as his fingers touched his face, he felt the hard touch of the ring on his face.

Getting married was just yesterday.

After all, I was already nearly thirty, and there was no way I could delay it any longer. I was constantly urged by my parents, but in the end I honestly complied with the engagement.

Rather than marrying another woman who is a complete stranger, it would be better to choose Suzune Horikita, whom I have known since then.

As a result, I went round and round, but still couldn't get around it.

The white breath turned into mist and hit the glass window, and Kitagawa Ryo reached out to wipe it away.

It was late autumn in Tokyo at this time, and Kitagawa Ryoya hadn't seen the autumn scenery there for a long time.

Although he has traveled between Tokyo and London over the past decade or so, he has generally spent more time in London.

Kitagawa Ryo stared at the ring on the ring finger of his left hand. The $50,000 thing still hurt his hands when it should.

The ring finger is the finger connected to the heart. It is said that this is the reason why wedding rings are worn here.

[marry]

Even now, I don't have a strong sense of reality.

The situation of living with Horikita Suzune still feels far away, and now it only feels like a hazy thing.

Even running back to Tokyo the day after the wedding was an escape.

Kitagawa Ryo thought of the dream he had last night again.

Under the dim street lights late at night, on the street in front of a certain apartment building.

Under the dim light, there were only two people on the road, a boy and a girl.

He and she were both still children. The two people in the dream wanted to grow up quickly, but they just couldn't.

Kitagawa Ryo and Karuizawa Megumi took a photo there.

This is their second photo together, and they actually only have three photos together.

The first one is placed in the sub-section "Past Graduates" on the official website of a certain elementary school in Tokyo. No one will find it unless you look for it.

The third photo was included in his wedding album. Karuizawa Megumi, who attended the wedding as Kitagawa Ryo's 'friend', stood on his left side, next to Shiina Hiyori.

Several scenes were recalled.

The two of them read "The Little Prince" leaning on their shoulders, wearing various black, white, and blue skirts, and a cake with a rose pattern on it.

And the last fireworks display.

----------------------------------------

Karuizawa Megumi had been avoiding contact with Kitagawa Ryo for the past ten years, so she had returned to Tokyo the night after Kitagawa Ryo's wedding.

I don't know if she really has some potential, or if Kitagawa Ryo secretly took care of her, but Karuizawa Megumi has really tenaciously survived alone until now. In the busy traffic of Tokyo, Karuizawa Megumi carries the girl who just left. Ingredients bought in supermarkets.

She didn't touch the large cake with more than ten layers at yesterday's wedding. She planned to make one for herself today.

Karuizawa Megumi is already very skilled at making sweets for herself, and then mounting a rose with cream, but today she bought herself a real rose for the first time, and it was red and red in her arms. bloom.

The thick fallen leaves crunch when stepped on, as cold and brittle as broken glass, and extremely sharp.

She stood at the end of the road - suddenly she felt a strong feeling.

Across the cars and people in the middle, Karuizawa Megumi seemed to see Kitagawa Ryo's figure.

But when Karuizawa Megumi stood on tiptoe and looked there again, the specious figure had disappeared.

The fallen leaves were swept into the sky by the wind, and Karuizawa Megumi lowered his head to look at the roses in his arms.

It trembled in the wind.

Finally there is a beginning but no end.

[Congratulations to the player for reaching the ending: White Rose]

[White rose: Marry a red rose, and over time, the red rose will become a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, while the white rose will still be white moonlight; marry a white rose, and the white rose will become a grain of rice dregs on your clothes, while the red rose will remain a smear of mosquito blood. A cinnabar nevus.

The longer you recall, the more distorted your memory becomes. ]

ps: I remember Ichinose Honami's second simulation said earlier that he would not write a longer simulation. Unexpectedly, Karuizawa Megumi's first simulation broke this record because the post was closed during these two days, so I don't know what everyone thinks about the ending of these two chapters, but I think it's quite satisfactory. I wrote all the changes in Karuizawa Megumi's mentality in an almost cumbersome way until she made the last choice and came to this point. At the end, some people may end it too hastily. Shiina Hiyori and Horikita Suzune did not give a complete explanation, but in fact the protagonist of this chapter is Karuizawa Megumi. Her story is over, and this simulation is over. The other parts will be extra. release.

ps2: This chapter took a long time to complete, and in the end it was a semi-homage to "5 Centimeters Per Second", but without the use of a tram.

ps3: Thank you to all readers for reading and subscribing. The second simulation of Karuizawa Megumi will start tomorrow. Because this simulation is too long, there should be another volume next time. Attached is the explanation of the other ending "Red Rose": [The dream of a rose blooming in its red wound is held in the hand but lost between the fingers. It is finally empty, finally has a beginning but no end, and then fails again. ], thank you again to every reader who has seen this, thank you all!

Shiina Hiyori if line extra: The next ten years

"dad?"

Kitagawa Ryo blinked his eyes, and his originally blurry vision gradually became clearer. What hit his eyes along with the sound in his ears was a red sphere. After staring at it for a while, he realized that it was an apple. To be precise, it was an apple. , is an apple that has been peeled in half with a knife. The lower half still retains the red peel, but the upper half has exposed the white flesh. The object that makes a monotonous rustling sound while peeling off the peel is a fruit knife sold in any store.

The hand holding the black plastic handle is small and white. The palm is more crystal clear and white than the flesh of an apple. Because of the fist, it looks like a cute snowball. Looking along the hand, the next thing that comes into view is contrasting black.

It was a pitch-black sailor suit that could be seen everywhere, with a decorative red tie fluttering on the chest. The face protruding from the collar of the sailor suit was as delicate as an elf, plus the dreamy blouse draped on the shoulders. With medium-long silver hair, the contrast between white and black is so perfect that it even creates a supernatural impression.

"firefly."

Kitagawa Ryo called out the name of the little girl in front of him, which was jointly decided by him and Shiina Hiyori as proof of their love for each other.

When Kitagawa Ryo first met Shiina Hiyori more than ten years ago, the two of them had a cat named "Hotaru". This white cat had accompanied them through junior high school, high school, and university. , but two years after the two entered the palace of marriage, Hotaru came to the end of his life. In the second year after Hotaru left, his and Shiina Hiyori's child was born, which is where he is now standing in Kitagawa. The eight-year-old girl in front of the bed - Hotaru Kitagawa.

"Dad drank too much again..."

Kitagawa Hotaru's hair color inherited her mother's silver, but her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Kitagawa Ryo. Standing together, the two of them were a father and daughter that no one could doubt. She carefully peeled all the apples. , as if he had accomplished some major achievement, he put a whole apple to Kitagawa Ryo's mouth.

Kitagawa Ryoya took a bite without politeness. Although he had been a father for eight years, he did not act like a parent in front of his daughter. He puffed his cheeks and chewed the apple and asked:

"Your mother still doesn't know about me sneaking out last night, right?"

"Mom went back to London yesterday and said she was going to see a Sherlock Holmes exhibition at the British Library."

Kitagawa Hotaru tried her best to remember what she was saying, then she put the apple down as if she had thought of something, ran directly to her small table and pulled out an exercise book, and then ran back to the bed. forward:

"Dad, who is your best friend?"

Kitagawa Ryo was still nibbling at the apple here and there, when he heard Kitagawa Hotaru ask him this question:

"Is it school homework again?"

"Uh-huh!"

Kitagawa Hotaru nodded, she opened the notebook in her hand, and the requirements for the painting assignment were written on it:

"Draw dad, mom, myself, my dad, mom, and my good friends."

Kitagawa Hotaru then turned to the next page, where three stick figures with elliptical heads and four lines had been drawn.

The big stick figure on the far left has a few short black strokes painted on its head, which should mean short hair. The small stick figure in the middle has a small star painted on its head. Kitagawa Ryo knew that it was the hairpin he gave to his daughter last year. And the stickman on the right... Why is the stickman on the right bald?

Kitagawa Ryo's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief:

"Yingying, you are really not afraid that your mother will be angry when she sees it."

"certainly not!"

Kitagawa Hotaru pointed at the "bald" stick figure with his finger and said:

"I used a silver pencil to trace a lot of hair, but dad couldn't see it!"

"I think on white paper... it's really hard to see."

Kitagawa Ryo's head was still feeling the pain of a hangover. He lay back on the bed gracelessly. The apple core he had eaten flew through the air at a perfect angle and was thrown into the trash can in the corner. If Hiyori was at home, he would definitely think that he was teaching a bad child, but who asked Hiyori to go out?

When he thought of this, Kitagawa Ryo became even more lazy and didn't want to move. An angry Kitagawa Hotaru jumped on the bed and stepped on his stomach with her feet, but it didn't work.

"Ah...it seems that the question I asked just now hasn't been answered yet."

Kitagawa Ryo closed his eyes and said casually:

"It's Horikita Gaku, your uncle Horikita."

"Oh, it's Uncle Glasses."

Kitagawa Ryo silently regretted the impression Horikita Manabu had on his daughter. He should have been called "uncle sister-controller", but it was a pity that Hotaru was still too young and could not see through the other person's true nature at a glance like he did back then.

After getting the answer he wanted, Kitagawa Hotaru calmly returned to the table to draw a new stick figure. As expected, the new stick figure had big glasses on its face, but in fact it was just Just connect the two boxes with a line.

After finishing drawing Horikita Manabu, Kitagawa Hotaru began to draw another character. It was a stick figure with short hair, but there was a winding curve hanging on the side of the head. Kitagawa Ryo finally couldn't help laughing. Out:

"If Suzune sees this, she might never bring you food or entertainment in the future."

Kitagawa Ryo naturally saw the Horikita Suzune drawn by his daughter at a glance, and when he thought about how much the other party treated Hotaru as his own daughter, he couldn't help but want to take a photo with his phone and post a status.

His right hand fumbled around his pillow for a long time but couldn't find it. Kitagawa Ryo shook his head and looked down at the ground under the bed:

"Did Firefly see my cell phone?"

Kitagawa Hotaru blinked and took it out from the drawer of the bedside table:

"I put it here because I was afraid that my father would crush it when he was sleeping."

"So good."

Kitagawa Ryo touched his daughter's head and was about to see if anyone contacted him while he was sleeping to death.

"dad..."

But Hotaru Kitagawa pulled his sleeve, pointed to a photo in the drawer with her other hand and asked:

"Who are all here?"

It was an old photo that was somewhat yellowed. In the photo, a young man was in high spirits, with a man and three women standing next to him. It seemed to be a group photo in front of some school gate.
