Sunny day.

Kakashi walked by the river.

And Ayin followed behind Kakashi.

They appeared here because of Ah Yin's request.

Yesterday's conversation with Huan Li made Ah Yin feel a lot.

After knowing Huan Li's thoughts, Ah Yin also wanted to know what this human named Zhang Shi was thinking.

And......

He also has a fiancée.

Whether to give up this relationship that should not exist in the first place, or to be forced to return to reality in desperation.

Ah Yin wanted to know the answer.

By the river, Mr. Zhang Shi is still sitting by the river as he did yesterday.

"Hello."

Kakashi spoke softly, and Mr. Zhang Shi looked back.

"You're the ...... from yesterday"

"My name is Kakashi Hagi."

"It turned out to be Mr. Qimu, do you have something to do with me?" Zhang Shi wondered.

"Actually, I met someone, no, more accurately, a youkai. So there are some things I want to ask you. ”

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said gently: "It turns out that you met her?" ”

There seemed to be a hint of relief and joy in his voice.

"Between you and her...... What is it? ”

"Me and her?"

Zhang Shi muttered, then looked up at the sky, as if thinking about something.

Or maybe I'm sorting out the thoughts in my head.

After a few minutes, Zhang Shicai said slowly: "Since you can also see monsters, you should be able to understand my feelings." ”

Zhang Shi paused for a moment, and then said: "People who can see monsters are existences that normal people can't understand. So, we always have unspeakable loneliness. Because, we are not understood. Once upon a time, I hated yokai until I met her. ”

"It was a dark time in my life, and now I think about it like a dream. It was a summer night when I met her. Since then, I have crossed paths with her, and I have become closer and closer, and finally, I fell in love with her, but I didn't tell her until I lost the ability to see youkai. Because I couldn't see her, my contact with her gradually broke off. ”

"You...... Regret it? Kakashi asked.

"Regret what?"

"I regret meeting her."

Zhang Shi shook his head and said, "Why regret it? It was an incredible thing that I could meet her. I come here every day to see if I can see her again. But a month passed, a year passed, seven years passed, and I still couldn't see her. Perhaps, my fate with her is over. ”

"Have you put it down?"

"What's the difference between letting go and not letting go? Could it be that if you let go, she will disappear in my heart? No, she'll always be there. Maybe one day she will fade into obscurity, but she will never disappear. Because she existed. ”

Once it exists, it has traces, how can it easily disappear.

Kakashi looked at Zhang Shi, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

Ah Yin has remained silent.

Under the fox mask, no one saw his expression.

"I heard you're getting married." Kakashi said again.

"yes, I thought I'd never meet someone I liked again. Until I met my current fiancée. She is gentle and accommodating. In three days, it will be my wedding to her. Today is also my last time here. It's time for me to let go, that person, and those memories. This is also my confession to my wife. Zhang Shi said with a smile.

Zhang Shi smiled sweetly, that kind of smile, without the slightest hint of falsification.

Kakashi knew, he let go, but he didn't let go either.

It's just that this may be the best ending now.

Humans and demons, especially those who can be involved casually.

Do not get married, and only add to your troubles.

Now this may be the bad result.

It's just that some things are like this, knowing that you can't do them, but you know the taste of them.

The two fell silent for a moment.

At this time, a woman in the distance came over and called softly: "Zhang Shi, it's time to go home." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shi stood up, beckoned to the woman, and then said, "Mr. Qimu, it's a pleasure to talk to you." It's time for me to go. ”

Zhang Shi took two steps, turned back to Kakashi and said, "You are the Qimu Restricted Stock, if you can still see her, thank you for me." ”

After saying that, he didn't wait for Kakashi to reply, and left.

Not far away, Zhang Shi took the woman's hand and gradually walked away.

From a distance, Kakashi saw that the woman was beautiful and smiled sweetly.

At first glance, you know that he is a very gentle person.

"Is that the bride of Mr. Zhang Shi? Sure enough, he is a very gentle person. Kakashi said softly.

Ah Yin, who was on the side, watched Zhang Shi leave and said, "It seems that he has made a choice." After all, people will come out of their pain and start a new life. No one lives in a memory all the time. ”

"Yes, no matter how good the memories are, they can't resist the erosion of time. After all, the road of life is still very long. ”

Ah Yin nodded, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"What are you thinking?" Kakashi curious.

"Nothing. Mr. Kakashi, I'd like to go alone, is that okay? ”

Seeing this, Kakashi didn't object, just said, "Okay, but be careful on the road, remember to go back early." ”

"Hmm."

After Ah Yin finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Kakashi, for his part, stood there and sighed.

In life, there are always so many helplessnesses.

The night gradually covered the heavens and the earth.

Kakashi returned home.

Huan Li was still in the room, and she stood by the window, quietly looking into the distance.

Her body, emitting a faint fluorescence.

Hearing the movement behind him, Huan Li slowly turned his head.

"Mr. Kakashi, you're back."

"Well, Huanli, didn't you go out today?"

Huan Li shook his head, looking a little silent.

is different from yesterday, today's Huan Li is more dead and silent.

Kakashi also seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart.

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Kakashi, my original body is a firefly, and although I have no physical body, I can turn into a firefly once."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and the ominous premonition in his heart was even stronger.

"What do you want to do? If you do that, you'll lose your identity as a youkai and turn into a normal firefly, and you'll soon die! ”

"I know, even then I don't care. Because even without me, he can always keep his smile on his face. Well, even if it's just once, even if it's in the form of a firefly, I want to see him......"

As she spoke, Kanri's mask slowly peeled off, emitting a fluorescent glow, revealing a beautiful face in front of Kakashi.

"This ......"

Kakashi's pupils narrowed, as if he had seen something amazing.

That face......

It's like her.

"Mr. Kakashi, thank you for taking care of you these two days."

A gust of wind blew, and Huan Li's figure disappeared without a trace, only a little fluorescence, and flew into the distance.

"Wait! Huanli! ”

Kakashi tried to stop it, but it was too late.

"Damn, why choose this way, there is obviously another way."

Kakashi whispered, but it was too late.

Huan Li abandoned the form of the youkai and changed into his original form, and even Kakashi couldn't do anything about it.

"Now, I can only escort you to see Mr. Zhang Shi."

Kakashi said secretly in his heart, and then followed the fluorescent figure.

Somewhere.

Zhang Shi and her fiancée are walking by the river.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and seemed to be talking about something happy.

A firefly slowly flew towards the two of them.

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment and stopped.

The right hand subconsciously stretched out, and the firefly stopped on it.

A faint fluorescence illuminated his eyes.

"It's beautiful."

The fiancée was pleasantly surprised.

Zhang Shi smiled when he heard this, and said, "Yes, it's so beautiful, it's like a ......."

As if thinking of something, Zhang Shi was startled.

And at this time, fireflies also flew up from Zhang Shi's hands.

"Goodbye, Zhang Shi."

A slight whisper rang in his ears.

But in a blink of an eye, it seems to be an illusion again.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Shi couldn't help but shout.

Zhang Shi wanted to chase the firefly, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew.

Countless fireflies flew out of the trees on the side.

For a time, the sky was full of fireflies.

The breeze stirred the ends of the hair, and seemed to blow away the ripples.

……

I'm a youkai, a youkai who has always been a firefly.

I don't have a name, but one day, I met a guy.

His name is Zhang Shi.

He's a human, a human who can see youkai.

He was gentle.

But he hates yokai.

It's no wonder that I've seen him isolated by others because of the monsters he saw.

It's a bad feeling.

Not sure why.

I became curious about him.

I couldn't help but want to get close to him.

But I've been restrained.

Because I know that people and monsters can't be connected casually.

But one day, he came to the river crying.

I didn't hold back.

So, I got to know him.

At first, he was very cold.

No, it's not an exaggeration to say tsundere.

Even though he seemed to hate me, he talked to me anyway.

One day is like this, and two days are like this.

We got along like this for a year.

It was a very happy day.

But one day, that all changed.

Because he lost the ability to see youkai and became an ordinary person.

Yes, humans who are not strong in demon power will come to this point sooner or later.

I should have thought of it, but why was it so uncomfortable when this day came?

Sure enough, monsters and people can't be casually acquainted.

It's just that love, I haven't had time to say yet.

Never get a chance to tell him?

After that, he would also come to the river every day.

That's where we used to date.

He would shout the name he gave me and would cry.

I'm sad and I want to be with him.

But even if I held him, I couldn't make him feel his presence.

He and I are separated by a few feet, but it is like the end of the world.

I was sad for the way he looked lost.

The way he talked to himself made me feel distressed.

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how many years have passed.

He finally meets the girl who can make him smile again.

The girl was beautiful and gentle.

He accepted her.

My heart was relieved and I gradually felt relieved.

Of course, there is also a feeling of pins and needles.

However, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he has been happy.

It's just that......

I haven't decided what to give him yet.

By the way, I figured it out.

I had promised him that I would let him see the fireflies in the sky.

Because that's the most beautiful scenery in my opinion.

That's probably the last thing I can do.

Zhang Shi, I hope you can always be happy.

……

I'm Zhang Shi.

I've been able to see youkai since I was a kid.

That's not a pleasant thing.

Because it makes me feel lonely.

But then, I fell in love with the ability again.

Because I met her.

During that lonely time, she was always with me.

She's a monster, but I fell in love with her without hesitation.

But......

I can't see her anymore.

I lost the ability to see youkai.

That ability I hated so much.

But I still want to see her, even once.

But......

Seven years.

I waited for seven whole years.

That longing......

One day, I met a girl.

She ...... with her It's a lot like.

Whether it's looks or personality.

For a moment, I even thought she was back with me.

But I know she's not her.

She's human, not a youkai.

She's a monster, not a human.

It's just that they seem to ......

What a terrible poison time is.

I fell in love with her.

Everything seems to be so natural.

She's a monster, she's human.

Moreover, I will never see her again.

Is she a replacement?

No, it's not.

I know I love her.

It's that I'm too persistent, it's that I should say goodbye to the past.

A memory that should be said goodbye.

That may have been the wrong start.

But that feeling ......

Looking at the fireflies in the sky, I seemed to see her again.

Are you saying goodbye to me?

Firefly......

It's our agreement.

That night full of fireflies.

I clenched the hand of the person next to me, tears rolling in my eyes.

I'm sorry......

If I could do it all over again, maybe I would still fall in love with you without hesitation.

If I could do it all over again, maybe I would have told you earlier that I love you.

If I could do it all over again, maybe I'd hold you tight.

If we could do it all over again, maybe we would have more good memories.

If I could do it all over again, maybe I would cherish it even more.

If you could do it all over again......

How can time be repeated!

Firefly......

Bye......

"Zhang Shi, what a beautiful firefly. Are they blessing us? ”

I wiped tears from the corners of my eyes and squeezed out a smile.

"Yes, that's my friend blessing me again. A youkai friend of mine. ”

She looked at me suspiciously, as if puzzled.

But he just smiled and didn't say anything more.

……

Kakashi quietly looked at the fireflies in the sky, sighed, and whispered, "The childhood plum has passed away, the bamboo horse is old, and from now on, the people I love are like you." ”

The fireflies in the sky are gradually disappearing, returning to heaven and earth.

No one knows where she went.

In the end, she left and never came back.
