The meaning of "Knight"

More and more people gathered, and the two were swept forward.

Suzuki Ayako regretted joining in the fun, but at this moment she could only hold Matsuda Chinatsu's hand tightly.

"Come this way."

Matsuda Chinatsu quietly cast a silent spell, and the two of them immediately felt much more relaxed.

Suzuki Ayako breathed a sigh of relief: "She's really popular, that star and that song."

"By the way, Chinatsu, I remember you seemed to like Xing's song quite a bit. Should we go get an autograph later?"

Suzuki Ayako knew that Matsuda Chinatsu had specially attended Hoshina Ka-u-u-u-nana's concert.

Matsuda Chinatsu declined the offer, but waited until the Hoshina song was finished before leaving.

"How do you feel about today, Chinatsu?"

On the way home, Suzuki Ayako asked.

Matsuda Chinatsu looked at her clothes and said, "It's a very novel experience... and I'm very happy."

"That's good." Suzuki Ayako smiled, "Chinatsu is always smiling, but I feel like you're not really happy."

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Matsuda Chinatsu with bright and gentle eyes: "I wonder if Chinatsu has noticed that when she is with Tsukiyomi-san, Chinatsu looks less gentle than usual, and actually more relaxed."

It was as if that indifferent and distant look that she showed all the time was the real her.

"Perhaps Chinatsu is used to keeping her emotions bottled up, so she doesn't know how to release them during her performance. Next time, Chinatsu can think about how it felt to scream loudly on the roller coaster. I hope that helps."

Matsuda Chinatsu was slightly startled.

Thinking about it carefully, apart from the initial discomfort, she really had a lot of fun today. She hadn't cheered and screamed like that in a long time.

She suddenly felt an urge to talk.

"Ayako, if..."

Her tone was light and ethereal: "If there is something that you know the outcome of, and whether you intervene or not, the result will not change, would you still do it?"

The two of them gradually slowed down their pace and stopped under the street light.

Suzuki Ayako didn't answer immediately. She asked, "Do you want to change that ending?"

Without waiting for a reply, she continued, "If I want to change the ending, then I will do my best until the ending is determined."

Matsuda Chinatsu half-closed her eyes, the shadow cast by her crow eyelashes hiding all her emotions.

"And what was the result?"

"The result...

Anyway, the outcome has changed, hasn’t it? "

Suzuki Ayako turned around and looked up, and saw a moth that was rushing towards the street lamp tirelessly, even though it encountered obstacles and failures again and again.

"Chinatsu, do you know why in our script, just by changing the crow into a knight, all the story lines are completely different?

There's an old Chinese saying: "A single move can affect the entire body." The story's ending may seem unchanged, but you see, the witch is no longer a one-sided villain; she's a real, flesh-and-blood lover. From her initial, naive mistaking gratitude for affection, to her belated understanding of the meaning of love, she's learned how to love someone. All of this was brought to her by the knight.

"At the end of the story, the prince and princess lived happily together, and the witch hid in the forest and never came out again. The two versions of the story seemed to have the same ending, but when the knight worked hard to change, the witch saw a different scenery. She grew flesh and blood again, breaking free from the role framed by the writer. Even if she still retreated to the forest in the end, it was her own choice."

"Chinatsu, this is different."

"The knight gives the witch the power to choose freely."

Matsuda Chinatsu was stunned and speechless, unable to recover for a long time.

————

The new semester begins, and Matsuda Chinatsu and Tsukuie Ikuto officially enter their senior year of high school.

As expected, the two of them still sat at the same table, and because they frequently took leave, they took the initiative to ask the teacher to sit in the back.

"Are you taking leave again?"

Matsuda Chinatsu came out of the homeroom teacher's office, and Tsukuie Ikuto, who was leaning against the wall, stood up and walked side by side with her.

"Well," Matsuda Chinatsu said softly, "I'm going to England in May."

It’s been almost a year…

A classmate carrying a tall pile of books came towards him. Matsuda Chinatsu was in a daze and didn't notice him. Tsukuyomi Jito quickly pulled the person towards him.

"Sorry, sorry!"

Matsuda Chinatsu waved her hand and continued to fight with Tsukuyomi on the rooftop.

"The school festival is the day after tomorrow. Have you finished altering your clothes?"

Tsukuei Jito leaned against the railing and glanced sideways at Matsuda Chinatsu who was also holding the railing.

"Well, Ayako has fixed it. I'll try it when I get home tonight."

The entire campus can be seen from the rooftop. Matsuda Chinatsu's eyes are blank and she looks absent-minded.

A handsome face suddenly appeared in front of me.

She was frightened and pushed Yue Yong Jidou's face away angrily.

"I see you've been really free lately."

Tsukuyomi Jito shrugged and said, "Not bad."

Matsuda Chinatsu looked into his eyes and suddenly thought of that girl.

"Have you talked to Gebei?"

Tsukuyomi Jito gave a vague "hmm".

Seeing that his expression wasn't exactly happy, Matsuda Chinatsu asked in surprise, "Has she decided to continue working for the Resurrection Society?"

That shouldn't be the case. She could see that Ge Bei was not happy when he was using singing to obtain the Soul Egg.

"No. The girl was thinking about the kindness Miss Sanjo had shown her, and she was a little hesitant."

Hoshina Karai used to be a print model, and Sanjo Yukari has been her agent since then. When she didn't know anything at the beginning, she was looked down upon and met people with bad intentions, and it was Sanjo Yukari who spared no effort to help her and solve the problems.

Ge Bei seems strong and decisive, but he is actually very soft-hearted.

Tsukuyomi Jito briefly explained the reason, and Matsuda Chinatsu was even more surprised: "Although everyone has many sides, don't the employees of your Resurrection Society seem a bit..."

Not like a bad guy?

Chinatsu Matsuda has a strange feeling of a dark comic that accidentally strayed into a girls' comic.

This pure and beautiful style of painting was very difficult for her to adapt to, as she had just experienced the bloody baptism of the second generation Dark Lord in the British wizarding world.

Tsukuyomi Jito was silent for a moment.

Perhaps due to the difference in past experiences, he and Chinatsu Matsuda have very different views and actions towards "enemies". Chinatsu Matsuda seems to be more able to touch the dark side of human nature, and is not hesitant to think the worst of people, but at the same time she maintains an incompatible kindness and softness, which makes her look very contradictory.

Therefore, even though Tsukuyomi Jito was already very familiar with her and had a deeper understanding of her, he was often surprised by some of her behaviors.

He tried to organize his words: "...in a society ruled by law, the Resurrection Society cannot be too...rampant."

This time it was Matsuda Chinatsu's turn to remain silent.

- Hu Yisi, challenging school rules is a tradition among students at Hogwarts. When she was a subordinate to a certain noseless bald guy, she had no concept of laws and regulations. She was not used to the law-abiding "enemy" for the time being.
