Chapter 851 [Chapter 4] 271
Hearing these words, Munakata Reishi finally let go of the brows that had been furrowed.He stared at her with awe-inspiring eyes.
As if there are many things that are understood by each other, and there is no need to explain them any more, he looked at her deeply, and said with a smile: "Xinya."
He looked at her with a guilty look as if she had just entered the profession and was suddenly caught by the school's discipline committee, and even her eyelashes trembled when he called her name; this kind of interesting reaction, inexplicably The sudden melancholy, anger, heartache, sigh and helplessness that made him unable to develop according to his wishes, which haunted his mind, all dissipated a little.
That song... That song, which she must remember as well as him, didn't she say it.
【Tell you I love you
get the answer
even if it's not what i thought
Even so, I won’t hate you]
However, in the future, everything about this song must be sealed in the deepest part of memory, so don't mention it anymore?
He watched her quietly, as if he wanted to engrave that face into his heart with his eyes; then, he said slowly:
"You have your mission to complete, and I have mine. We are all fighting for the righteousness of this world forever, which is very good."
The terrible things she said just now... are to prevent him from falling into the guilt of almost killing his lover and doing irreversible things for the sake of righteousness, as he did after the King Killing incident back then, so he intentionally Playing the role of the shallow and vicious villain, you want him to have the most legitimate reason to leave her behind, no longer carry guilt and move on calmly, right?
But isn't that how it was sung in that song?
【Praying to the stars is not my style
But if my ending is not with you
I don't like it
So I look up to the sky]
Even though it was meaningless to say these things, he suddenly felt that there was still a need to speak frankly.
"...in this way, it's as if we're walking together forever."
Even if they are not in the same world, even if they are not in the same era, it doesn't matter.
Because they were in the Qingbu activity room of Chaowei Middle School that year, didn’t they already make an agreement—they would carry out their decisions after thinking about it, and always respect and maintain the justice and righteousness they upheld.
He saw bright tears in her eyes, but slowly raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly at himself on the screen.
Then he heard her say something he hadn't expected beforehand.
She said, "Yes. I'll always remember—"
"We, SCEPTER4, will carry out the responsibilities and obligations of the sword bearers, forbidding others to disturb the Holy Land, forbidding others to disturb the secular world, sealing off the wilderness, and dispelling the smog—"
As the smooth voice uttered his regular lines of drawing the sword word by word, he saw her eyes soaked with tears in the light screen in front of him also became brighter and brighter, blooming almost breathtakingly. An unbearable light.
Finally, she said loudly: "Using swords to make swords, our righteousness has no haze!"
Munakata Reiji felt that he was genuinely surprised.Until she uttered the last syllable, the unreality of "familiar lines being spoken word by word by the most unlikely person", and some kind of magical obstacle brought about by this unreality The atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
After her voice fell, he didn't answer immediately because of his rare surprise.So there was a sudden silence in the air for a few seconds.
Then, he laughed out loud.
Sure enough, no matter how long it has been since we haven't seen each other, no matter whether we are already in two worlds or not—
She is still the good boy she was back then.
No matter when I think about it, I will never regret inviting her to form the study group with me, what an amazing woman.
What a pity that I will never be able to see her again in the future.
It is the kind, even for the world, for responsibility, for the order and righteousness that he pursued and maintained all his life——
Still indelible, irreparable regret.
...But there is no need to let her know this sentence.
Reji Munakata suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked a question with a smile that seemed to have nothing to do with their previous conversation.
He asked: "... Is anyone singing in the room where you are staying?"
Liu Quan was taken aback. "……ha?!"
After just uttering one syllable in a daze, she suddenly realized that someone was indeed singing.
But not in this room.Instead, it came in from afar through an open window in the small square in the courtyard outside.
This so-called "Parallel World Administration" may be to flaunt the difference between itself and the "Time History Administration" with the title of "Government of Time", so all styles seem to be diametrically opposed to the Government of Time.
The interior of the government building of the time is arranged in a retro style, and it is arranged in an absolutely modern style here; the building of the government of the time looks majestic and full of authority, and the atmosphere here is very relaxed and freehand.It is past ten o'clock in the morning, and people in twos and threes have come out of the building in the atrium outside the window, bathed in today's warm sun, chatting and laughing, as if enjoying the rare tea break time during intense work.
And the song that is being transmitted into the room now is also transmitted from the atrium outside the window.Perhaps it is to match this relaxed and casual tea break time.
For some reason, Liu Quan suddenly remembered at this moment that a long time ago, she and Reiji Munakata were standing in the corridor of Chaowei Middle School after school in the afternoon. when the scene.
Of course, the melody at that time was completely different from the current one.
At this moment, although I am not standing by the window, if I listen carefully, I can still hear some singing from outside the window.
it sings:
【No matter how many times we take photos again
Can't keep precious memories
After many disputes
I don’t know why I walk side by side with you again]
Liu Quan slowly curled the corners of his lips.
"...It's the atrium outside the window. It's tea break time. It probably reminds everyone of the tea break time." She replied.
Munakata Reishi let out a groan, but did not speak for the time being, but seemed to be listening to the melody through the screen.
Liu Quan suddenly turned slightly sideways, and raised his hand towards the window.
A ray of light shot out from her right hand and hit the window with a bang.The window didn't shatter, it just creaked and swung wide open.
This time, the singing sound became clearer.
【The classroom where no one returns
looks a little cramped
at the end of the longing time
is our future]
Munakata Retsu seemed to sigh silently, and said, "...reminds me of Chaowei Middle School back then."
Liu Quan grinned, but that smile immediately melted away like a handful of ice and snow meeting boiling water.
The brisk singing continued to be heard outside the window.
【Even when I meet you again
Despite all the setbacks
Can still hold a candle to talk
Just because we are best friends for life
Please do not forget
Let's give a promised high five]
Liu Quan finally said: "...Yes."
She paused, and stared deeply at Reishi Munakata across the screen.
"Senior Munakata, I don't seem to have said it all this time..." She finally said out loud.
"At that time, all the memories you gave me—"
"I am grateful."
Munakata Reishi seemed a little surprised when he heard the words, he let out a soft oh from his throat, his eyes slightly widened behind the pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and stared at her face through the screen, as if he wanted to see her face from her. It was as if she could figure out her sincerity from her expression.After a while, he suddenly smiled.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xinya." He said.
"Although, from the beginning to the end... everything exceeded my expectations," he added after thinking for a while.
"However, it would be nice to be able to form... uh, the 'study group' with you."
Liu Quan:! ! !
His full-bodied voice is the same as before.However, sitting in front of the screen at this moment, wearing a blue military overcoat, he is completely like a reliable and steady young man who will never make mistakes or waver.
He has become the cornerstone and pillar of stability in that country and that world.
The voice outside the window sang:
[My friend, please believe that tomorrow will be even better
是 的
Graduation is not the end
But a new starting point]
When she left that year, she deeply believed that one day, he would become glorious and powerful, going forward indomitably, possessing the supreme power to maintain the smooth progress of the whole world.
And today is exactly that moment.
Her gaze drifted away briefly to the small spherical timer next to the screen.Now, the number displayed on the above timer is "01:00", which means that there is only 1 minute left for this meeting.
She suddenly felt a deep pain that attacked her heart.The pain caused her throat to constrict suddenly, making it almost difficult to breathe.New tears welled up in her eyes.
But now, after briefly pampering themselves and calling each other "Li Sijun" and "Xinya" the warm moment has passed, they have retreated back to their original positions - they can only suppress the sadness rolling in their chests, and call each other "Munakata" "Senior" and "Xinya-jun" are polite, cold and distant names to call each other.
For those who failed to reach the destination, in addition to feelings, there are expectations, titles, and memories——
A foolish impulse rushed into her chest suddenly, propelling her to blurt out: "Munakata-senpai! Actually, at that time, I thought, I was hi—"
However, she hadn't finished saying "I like you", when she saw Munakata Reishi's brows flattened, the corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled at her.
That smile seemed to tell her that he already fully understood the meaning of her unfinished words; it also seemed to warn her that those unfinished words don't need to be spoken, just keep them in your heart.
yes.Those unfinished words, since speaking out will only leave great sorrow to both parties in vain, then maybe it is best to let them stay in my heart forever at this moment.
Between a dazed, protruding sadness and a tiny tingle, she caught the final melody of the song outside the window.
【My friend, those times with you
the best days of our youth
The thanks that haven't been said yet
Then I will reward you with a high five]
Munakata Reishi seemed to have heard the faint singing.He frowned slightly, as if trying to discern the content of the lyrics; then he said:
"That song...is about—'The thanks you haven't said yet, give you a high five,' isn't it?"
Liu Quan felt that he could not speak at all.She could only keep her throat shut and nodded, confirming his guess.
Munakata Reishi smiled.
Then, without warning, he suddenly stretched out his right hand toward the screen, spread out his five fingers, and pressed his palm and five fingers tightly against the screen.
He said in a calm and soft tone, "Well, then, do it."
Liu Quan: "...what?"
After she muttered something, she suddenly realized what he meant.
He had been keenly aware that she had just briefly looked away to look at the spherical timer next to the screen.He had already guessed that their last chance to talk was about to end.
However, he couldn't come here to see her.He won't be here either.Because across the other side of the screen, that world still needs his support, because that world cannot do without him——
So, with that mellow and magnetic voice, he said to her in a deep and gentle voice:
"For those thanks that haven't been said properly, let me give you a high five in return."
