Symbiosis 30
"I've made friends."
Time is cruel and fair to everyone. As Kirito Nozomi grows up day by day, her father is also getting older day by day, spending more time sleeping than being awake. The first thing the girl does when she wakes up every day is to open her eyes, and the second thing is to test her father's breath. The time when Ichinose Saku lived in the Gospel House seemed to be the last time the old man was awake. After the boy left, he fell into a long coma. Kirito Nozomi woke up from her dreams more than once, watching the inaudible ups and downs, thinking about the possibility of sending the medicine made by Tomohiro Aoki into his old body. After all, the death knell will ring sooner or later.
Believers flock around their gods and clumsily whitewash people as ideals.
"Wang, you know," the old man coughed weakly twice. His health has been deteriorating since he fell accidentally a year ago. Mr. Ito turned his head with difficulty and looked at the bedside, where his adopted daughter was lying. The delicate crabapple flower was pressed on the dead wood. It was him who could not return to his youth. "I am..."
Atheist.
Tong Xiangwang clenched the handle in her hand. It was a gift from Huiren Society left to her by her father. He didn't like aging, but he had never used Scrooso or the byproducts of the Tree of Ahibis. "Uncle..." The wound on her neck affected the girl's ability to speak. It was probably Uncle Yamashita, or he was afraid of people, or Sister Zhimei... Never mind. She lay on Tomohiro Aoki's back and could only utter intermittent words with all her strength, "Why...?"
"I don't know," the young man put the girl down from his back, and his eyes, which had been lost for decades, seemed to have a spirit again, "...I wanted to be a doctor," Aoki Tomohiro looked at her deeply, "Wang, I have to go back to get something," he pushed away the hand of Tongxiang Wang that was pulling at the corner of his clothes, "I'll be back later."
"When the time comes," Aoki Tomohiro forced a funny smile on his face as if to comfort her. Before turning around and walking into the mountains, he said casually, "Let's try to live outside together."
The next day, Tong Xiangwang, who was wandering at the foot of the mountain, heard the news of a landslide, and no one in the Gospel Family survived.
——This happened in the first year that Ichinose Saku became Ishii Kazuki.

"...Why is it so serious all of a sudden?" Ichinose Saku's hand holding the milk was shaking slightly. Honda Tsuneichi had walked out like a robot at the beginning of the story. Kirisato looked at this adult and thought that he probably needed to go somewhere to let his brain rest for a while, so he considerately didn't call anyone. "So you came here alone? No, no, no, the distance between here and your place is so great that a child can come here..."
Then why am I waiting so obediently for my guardian to take me out? Tong Xiangwang saw the depression on the other person's face. He took a sip of the milk and felt warmed by the warmth in his palm. "I told you to study hard," the girl, who was wearing a sweatshirt that obviously didn't fit her and dressed very differently from her usual style, said earnestly, "Are you underestimating the education I've received?"
"That's right," thinking of the talented people in the Gospel House, Ichinose Saku nodded in agreement. While the girl was drinking milk, he applied medicine to her neck with a medical kit. God knows how scary it would be to go home and see a friend he hadn't seen for a long time sleeping on the floor with a suitcase in his arms. Especially when the light was on, the angle just happened to illuminate the marks on his neck. He thought he was dead. "I shouldn't have asked you. By the way... Are you homeless now? Why don't you live with me and my dad?" Just because she was Mr. Ito's adopted daughter, Honda Tsuneichi would not object. Besides, Kirisato Nozomi had a unique way of coaxing people, which could directly confuse people. "Identity... Anyway, whether it's Ichinose Saku or Ishii Kazuki, you are younger than me, so just treat me as..."
"No," interrupting Ichinose Saku's enthusiastic speech, Kirigo Nozomi shook her head, "Your life here is not stable enough, and I don't have an ID." Don't make things complicated. She avoided people all the way to Ishii's house. Ichinose Saku almost became dumb in order not to attract attention. Kirigo Nozomi suspected that the reason why people kept talking endlessly every time they met her was because he was too reluctant to hold it in. "I just came to see you."
She stood up with her suitcase. She had just finished a shower and still smelled of soap. "I have somewhere to go." Thanks to her father's connections, it was not difficult for Nozomi Kirisato to find a place to stay. If Honda Tsuneichi was here, he would be worried and try to dissuade her, but Ichinose Saku only doubted Nozomi Kirisato's character, not her ability. "Anyway..."
"See you next time, Shuo."
