【You carried Nakajima Reina up the remaining steps, and you dined at the mountaintop, staying until sunset.】
【Under the pale moonlight, you revealed your name and kissed her lips in her dazed state.】
【As the kiss ended, tears streamed down the girl’s face.】
【The glistening tears, shimmering in the moonlight, fell one by one onto the gray cement floor.】
【You weren’t sure why the girl was crying. When you asked her, she didn’t tell you.】
【It was already very late, and you carried her down the mountain. Just as you arrived at the hospital room, the front desk nurse sent a message that Nakajima Yohei had arrived.】
【With no time to change clothes, Nakajima Reina lay under the covers, pretending to be asleep. You hid in the wardrobe and listened to the sounds outside.】
【Nakajima Yohei knocked twice, received no response, and then entered the room. The curtains by the bed were open, and the night light and moonlight illuminated the girl’s face. Nakajima Yohei looked at her sleeping face for a moment, gently closed the curtains, and quietly left.】
【The front desk nurse sent a message that the target had left. You emerged from the wardrobe, and Nakajima Reina sat up in bed. You looked at each other and laughed, your laughter echoing in the dim hospital room.】
【You waited outside the door while the girl wiped herself down and changed back into a blue hospital gown.】
【The dress she changed out of was stuffed into your backpack. She watched you with a flushed face as you did this. The dress had her sweat on it, and she wanted to ask you to clean it, but she was unable to do so.】
【You teased her, saying that the dress was your treasure and would never be washed again, making her face turn even redder. The girl’s shyness carried an air of grace, different from Asano Nao’s mortification or Ibuki Yuko’s indifference.】
【You sensed that the princess’s spirits were low. Did the journey to Mount Azuki make her melancholic? You weren’t sure, but you thought about the girl’s crystalline tears under the moonlight.】
【You tried to cheer up the girl, but your efforts only had a fleeting effect.】
【Visiting hours were about to end, and you said goodbye to the girl before taking the subway back.】
【A nurse came to check the room, and one of them quietly inquired about the girl’s romantic life. Her companion immediately pulled her away, and the room fell silent once more.】
【Lying on the pure white hospital bed, Nakajima Reina looked toward the window, seeing only a dim gray— the curtains were drawn.】
【She turned to the hydrangea at the head of the bed. The flowers had long since withered and decayed, turning into a gray-black mass floating in a paper cup.】
【As night fell, at the mountaintop of Azuki, beneath the silver moon, she heard the boy’s name. She realized that the boy of summer and spring was the same, and her heart fluttered, feeling that fate, which had consistently ignored her, had finally cast a gentle glance her way.】
“......”
“......?”
Minami Yuuki was shocked by the news.
Why had Nakajima Yohei and Ibuki Honoka suddenly gotten married?
He hadn’t done anything!
Wait, could it be......
He looked further down and, sure enough, it was Ibuki Yuko’s doing!
【It was only after Ibuki Yuko appeared in the hospital room that you learned the news. You “happened” to meet Nakajima Honoka, congratulated her on her marriage, and then pretended to be curious about her and Nakajima Yohei’s relationship. Nakajima Honoka, with a happy smile, told you everything.】
【After breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, her emotionally indifferent daughter suddenly had a change of heart and introduced her to Nakajima Yohei. After spending the summer together, they smoothly got married.】
【You hadn’t expected Ibuki Yuko to go this far, and you found it troublesome.】
Minami Yuuki looked at the simulation text with a mixed mood.
On one hand, he marveled at how cunning Mama Yuko was; on the other, he was anxious about Yuko’s potential interference.
The shut-in big sister in his arms was still the most obedient!
He tightened his embrace a bit more.
Returning his focus to the simulated life, he thought there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Last time, with no substantial progress in his relationship with Nakajima Reina, Yuko took advantage of the gap.
This time, since he and Nakajima Reina were already in love, Yuko certainly wouldn’t be able to break them apart!
