The hour hand gradually stopped at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the fireworks boss had already begun to bloom outside, leaving only Arthur and Shiina in the restaurant.
Arthur, who hesitated and didn't know how to continue, fidgeted and played with his phone.
"This ...... Here you go. ”
Shiina took out a red gift box from the kitchen and pushed it from the table in front of Arthur.
"Oh...... Hmmm......"
Arthur's phone was shut down, and there were harassing text messages from the nail palace on it, albeit with some "This light novel is amazing!" Ranking blessings, but Arthur knows that this day is important to him and Shiina.
After opening Shiina's gift box, Arthur found a crooked chocolate lying inside, apparently mushy, with the words L.O.V.E. spelled together.
"Nice, Valentine's Day chocolates? Didn't find out what you're doing......"
Arthur looked at the burn on Shiina's finger and could probably guess that she was struggling......
"...... with Nanami in the school's cooking room"
Shiina clasped his hands together, expecting Arthur to express his thoughts on eating chocolate.
"Delicious......
Arthur stuffed them into his mouth one by one, although there was some bitterness and burnt taste, but he was very touched in his heart, after all, Shiina, who didn't know anything, would give him chocolate to eat, it was really touching, and it was this kind of festive atmosphere......
"Arthur is a fool!"
What Shiina wants to hear is even more ......
"I also have a ...... for gifts"
Arthur pulled a paintbrush out of his pocket—
"Selected from the market...... I hope your comics can be even better...... Become a real cartoonist. ”
"Arthur is a fool!"
Shiina bit her lip. Mitaka Ren gave him a wedding ring.
"Still not satisfied?"
Arthur smiled and took off a crystal pendant from his neck, which was a little different from the crystal cherry blossom tree last time, this pendant was a delicate little box, and inside this small box was a crystal ring, all of which Arthur had polished by himself.
“……”
Shiina gently opened the crystal box, which contained a crystal ring. The petals of the pendant are written in the fonts 'Sakura, Flower, Tree, Down, The, Black, And, and White'.
"This is everything we have experienced, from the moment we met you to the present, all the memories are integrated into it, this is our memory, and it is also the promise I made to you, will you accept me? True white? ”
Arthur's hands gently pressed Shiina's hand and the crystal ring.
"I don't know...... I don't know ......."
Shiina's tears flowed down one by one, she didn't expect it to be so fast, so smooth......
"Because I like it, because I can't give up, it's been going on until now. Actually, I know,I had an indissoluble bond with Mahaku when we first met.,I can't understand what this relationship is.,I'm also confused with Mahaku.,But I can't move forward if I can't take this step.,I know I'm selfish.,After all, I'm about to leave here.,But-
Mahaku has settled in my heart.
I'm a clumsy person. It's clumsy and clumsy, although everything can be done well. But emotionally I can't settle it.,I've been hesitating.,Swaying from side to side.,But I gradually understood.,For me,True white is the girl I like.。
Simplicity. Just as clumsy as me, but you're exactly what I like......"
Arthur clenched Shiina's fingers.
"Is the black and white under the cherry blossom tree about to finish?"
Shiina asks about things that seem completely unrelated to the subject.
"Yes, it's going to be done soon...... Because black and white are me and true white, we who have already achieved happiness naturally have an end......"
Arthur nodded.
"No...... No, I still want to read on. Read on! Don't finish the book! ”
Shiina bites her lip -
"So I'll accept your proposal......"
"This ......"
Arthur never expected Shiina to say that.
"Our world can't end, and once you're done, you won't come back! I can't see your skin anymore, I can't eat your snacks anymore, I can't breathe the same air as you anymore, I can't exchange fat ...... with each other."
Shiina pleaded.
"You ......"
Arthur understood, he didn't want to finish the book, he had to play the news, Shiina wanted him to leave, and he would be more concerned about the world without an ending!!
"In the novel, black and white are temporarily separated...... So now Arthur is also going to disappear from my world, I need time, I have to catch up with you slowly, catch up with this feeling, the ring I want to seal in the crystal box, waiting for you to open it yourself next time......"
Shiina put the ring in the crystal box......
"Okay, allow me to accompany you to watch the cherry blossoms dance this year, at that original station......"
Arthur has decided that "Black and White Under the Cherry Blossom Tree" is not finished, because his story with Shiina is not over yet!
"Promise me...... To come back......"
Shiina Mashiro stood up and came to Arthur, curled up in his arms like a kitten-
"Arthur ......"
"True White ......"
The clothes that were grabbed on his chest made Arthur a little uncomfortable, not only in his body, but also in his heart.
"If you promise, I will wear your fat times for the rest of my life."
Shiina said seriously.
"Is my fat time that good?"
Arthur smiled wryly.
"I'm sure Arthur's fat times won't betray!"
Shiina's hand reached out to some incredible place.
"Don't you believe me...... Don't touch your hands! ”
Arthur's face was crimson.
"Take off your fat times!"
Shiina also reached over with her other hand.
"Chihiro said so that you wouldn't betray......"
"Don't listen to anything weird!"
Arthur really couldn't laugh or cry, this kind of Valentine's Day is really 'unusual'!
"You can take off my ......"
"You give me enough to stop! Let's talk about that kind of thing when we get married! ”
"Not now, isn't it?"
"It's not! You're going to have to put on the ring and go into church with me to take the oath......"
"Then book ...... in advance"
"What is the new trick of booking fat?"
"I believe in fat times!"
"It's weird what you believe!"
“……”
As a result, the youth under the cherry blossom tree is still in full bloom, just like the cherry blossom tree is blooming every day, and the story of black (Arthur) and white (true white) will continue...... (To be continued.) )
