"Reina, remember to prepare for college......"

"Hi...... Hi ......"

Hanging up the phone with her mother, Reina Tojo let out a soft breath.

Ever since February, Reina has felt like her whole being is in a state of chaos.

After a trip back to Tokyo after the death of a loved one, Reina felt a little more relaxed.

Sitting on the couch, Reina turned on the TV.

Reina was the only one in the room.

Because his parents and younger siblings are still in their hometown at this moment.

They won't be back until half a month later, and the reason why Reina came back so early was because she was now a freshman at the University of Tokyo, so there were some things that needed to be dealt with.

Two weeks of living alone.

It's TV Tokyo, and the TV station is broadcasting the PV trailer of Neon Genesis Evangelion - RETAKE, and in a few days, this new episode will be released.

"It's the work of Natsu-kun Mori and Yukino-san......"

Reina knew exactly what the origin of this work was.

It's not just because Rena and Mori Xia are classmates, but also because Nana, who is in the same group as her, dubbed the dragon set in this work.

And Rina herself, too, will need to train as a voice actor this year.

Not only do you need to go to college, but you also need to practice singing, dancing, and learning how to become a voice actor.

There are a lot of things.

For Reina, life after entering university will probably be even busier than before.

But Reina doesn't regret it.

Because only in this way can you get closer to your dreams.

After that day, Reina realized that her efforts were worthwhile.

If your efforts can bring you closer to that person, then it will be worth it.

My life has never been so wonderful.

- This was the only thought in Reina's mind at any time.

It's just that at this moment, Reina is suffering from gains and losses.

Because Reina knew that the road ahead of him might be even more arduous than preparing for the Tokyo University exam.

And more importantly, Reina doesn't know how she should face that person now.

"Hmm...... Some are hungry......"

Open the refrigerator.

Of course, there is nothing to eat at home.

After being away from home for more than a month, it was impossible for the Dongcheng family to store fresh food at home.

She turned her head to look out the window.

The sky is still bright, and the spring sun is shining on the earth, which makes people's minds seem to be calm.

Reina loved it.

"Go out and buy it. ”

She thought for a moment, then left the room.

Wearing a blue and white dress, black tights, and a small backpack, the girl went out like this.

"But...... He's also at Todai Bar......"

Then, the face of that person appeared again in Reina's heart.

After that kind of thing happened, Reina no longer knew what kind of expression and attitude she should use to face each other at this moment - between them, they are not even boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Obviously, I made up my mind, but why is my heart so weak now......"

Reina reproached herself for her cowardice in her heart.

It seems that at that time, Reina has used up all her courage, so at this time, she no longer has the potential to face the other party.

"Here—"

Before she reached the shopping street, Reina found a shop that sold video games, and Reina didn't know much about it.

But when I saw the queue outside the store, and the "DC-P" game consoles that were carried by users, Reina understood.

"Finally got it, my Nanali, I love you!"

At this moment, an otaku rushed out of the store with a game in his arms.

The other party bought the first big box version of "Lelouch the Rebel Gaiden: Nanali's Nightmare", which contained a figure of Nanali wearing a black tights.

Reina couldn't help but shudder as she looked at the customer who was still salivaing.

"Wow, it's terrible, the dead house is disgusting...... the two little girls passing by next to him seemed to be scared by each other.

“......”

Reina tilted her head.

Although the actions of the other party are indeed somewhat ...... It's terrible, but how to put it, this kind of thing that acts for the sake of what he likes, cheers, and is noble, Reina doesn't hate it.

"I heard that Dark Souls is a very interesting game, I heard that the players on Omi's side like it, should we try it too?"

Two young people in line are discussing another game.

"You didn't plan to buy it?! Don't you know how powerful the plot of Dark Souls is! This is a script written by Mr. Xia Sen!"

"But the producer of this game is that Hidetaka Miyazaki, that guy is very sinister!"

"Then aren't you still going to buy Nanali's Nightmare, which was also made by Hidetaka Miyazaki. ”

"-This, how can a girl's thing be called insidious!"

Hearing all this, the heartstrings in Reina's heart are also beating.

It's all his work.

Reina paused for a minute, then continued on her way forward.

She's a little distracted.

What's wrong with you, and why is this happening......

Reina sighed.

After that day, Reina deliberately avoided that person, since that day at the meeting, Reina has not met with the other party, and Reina has not contacted each other, and when the other party called, Reina asked his sister Xiaoyou to pick it up.

What exactly was I thinking?

Reina herself didn't know.

"Ahh——?h

However, at this time, the girl suddenly realized that she seemed to be a little far away.

Before I knew it, I had crossed the shopping street, and it seemed that I had walked a long way to go.

At this moment, I am at the door of an arcade hall.

"Eh......"

Rena shook her head, letting her dizzy brain gradually calm down.

"It's okay, I can face him...... Reina...... You can do it. ”

"-That's why I said, the King of Fighters 97 is not as balanced as the 98, but it's more fun to play!"

"It's all SNK's work, but the Yuehua Swordsman is obviously better. Mr. Xia Sen, what do you think?"

——！！！

Suddenly I heard a familiar name.

"Ahh......h

A few people came out of the arcade, and then, Reina saw the person.

- Tianhai Senxia.

"Ah, long time no see, Reina. ”

Mori Natsu greeted Reina with a smile.

Reina wanted to be in danger and then greeted the other party.

But it failed.

The girl remained motionless.

Reina Higashiro didn't move.

Reina Tojo, who was stared at by Tenkai Senxia, remained motionless.

"Reina, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Reina's appearance, Mori Xia also frowned.

"Are you...... Is something wrong?"

He walked towards Reina.

When Mori Xia stepped towards him, Reina Tojo finally moved.

Sen Xia's step made the girl's heart entangled, she turned around, and then ran at the fastest speed in her life.

Don't look back.

"Reina!" Mori Xia apologized to Fu Jian beside him, and then chased after Reina as well.

Reina had never run so fast, not even on a school fitness test, at such a terrible speed - especially since she was still wearing a skirt and casual shoes.

Breathing became more and more rapid, the lungs were like fire, and the muscles in the body began to ache.

The slight lack of oxygen made Reina's brain a little dizzy.

But she didn't stop.

She didn't even slow down.

The girl ran all the way as fast as she could.

Finally, the girl's body could no longer support such a rapid run, and suddenly, Reina's feet were weak, and the whole person fell forward.

"Boom!"

The girl seems to have hit something.

"Hmm-"

A voice rang out.

"Eh......"

Reina also fell, her mouth was dressed roughly, her lungs were burning like fire, and her muscles were twitching, but surprisingly, her body didn't seem to be bruised, but ...... Dropped on a soft cushion.

She looked up, then froze.

It was Mori Natsu who caught Reina.

“——！”

Then Rina felt like her brain was short-circuited.

It's a blank slate.

"Reina...... Are you alright?" Mori Xia's voice rang in Reina's ears.

"I, I, I'm fine......"

She struggled to get up, but without catching her breath, she slumped down again.

Mori Xia hurriedly hugged Reina.

He helped Reina adjust her sitting position and sat down on the floor for the time being.

It's a residential area, and it's time to go to work, and there are no people on the street, and although this posture is a bit indecent, it doesn't matter if no one sees it.

"Reina, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?" Mori Xia noticed that something was wrong with Reina.

Reina immediately shook her head.

"No, nothing ......"

She tried to stand up, but Mori Xia stopped Reina.

"Take a break, what's the matter, wait for you to calm down first, and then tell me slowly. ”

“......”

Then Rina fell silent.

Mori Xia also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Reina calm down, and he continued to ask at this time, "Is something happening at home?"

Reina shook her head.

Isn't it?

Mori Xia remembers that Rina went home because her family died, but it doesn't seem to be a close relative...... Right?

But looking at Reina's appearance, it doesn't seem that what she did just now was really because of this?

So Senxia changed the question: "That...... Are you being bullied?"

Rena glanced up at Mori Xia, then continued to shake her head.

Rina did deny it, but the look that Rina just looked at herself was indeed a little subtle......

But it's true.,Since that day,,I don't seem to have met with Reina.,Although I'm still in contact with the Dongcheng family.,But the basic person who answers the phone is Lina's sister Dong (small) Cheng (aunt) You (son).。

Thinking of that look just now, the careful Senxia immediately thought of something.

Although you can usually pretend to be stupid, this is obviously not the time to pretend to be stupid.

"Is it because of me?"

Hearing this, Reina was stunned for a moment, and then her head immediately shook, as if she wanted to deny it.

However, after seeing Reina's reaction, Mori Xia sighed.

Reina's reaction was completely different from what she had just done.

"Sure enough, it's because of me. ”

Senxia probably understood.

"It's not because of Mori Natsu-kun!it's just my own problem!" Reina shouted.

“...... Did I hurt you because of what happened that day?" Sen Xia continued to ask.

However, the girl was in denial, she denied it desperately: "No......! It was the best day of my life......"

At first, it was a firm tone, but later on, it began to fade.

She looked away.

Hearing this, Sen Xia, who wanted to continue to ask, also opened his mouth at this time and did not say the following questions.

Reina's answer was a little unexpected.

"So what's wrong with you? It's okay, I'm here, you name it. ”

Reina's state is obviously wrong, and it is definitely not good to maintain this abnormal mental state like this, but Mori Xia feels that he at least needs to know what is wrong with her.

However, after hearing this, Reina's tear ducts seemed to collapse suddenly.

"Ahh

Rena wiped her tears with her hands, but they still couldn't stop flowing from her eyes.

"I-no-no-I-"

She seemed to be denying something.

Mori Xia didn't speak, just patted Reina lightly on the back.

Then the girl couldn't bear it anymore.

"I-I don't want to--be able to be with Mori Natsu-kun, and we're both able to go to the same school, but-I'm so scared......"

The girl's voice whimpered.

Her head rested on Mori Xia's chest, tears staining Mori Xia's clothes.

"Mingming...... It's been decided...... In that case, I'll be satisfied...... But...... There's no way......" Her voice was choppy, "As long as I think that there is no way to be with Mori Xiajun, as long as I think that Mori Xiajun will be taken away, I am so scared ......"

"It's okay, I'm not leaving. A gentle voice rang out.

"Mori Natsu-kun ......"

Rena hugged Mori Natsu, tears dripping from her eyes.

“......”

Sunset on the corner turned around.

As Senxia's personal maid, she has always followed Senxia, just like just now.

She turned her head, but glanced sideways at the street.

Her palms clenched for a moment, then relaxed.

Then, the girl returned to her usual cold-faced maid appearance.

......

Of course I know about the Shebin socks, and I've studied them before, but the texture in the animation is indeed closer to latex.

I've been revising the sealed chapters for the past two days.,Now it's finally all released.,And then I found myself being complained about a lot.,I'm tired......

It's been a bit of a jump in the plot recently, and that's force majeure......

2-in-1, meow meow~..
