"Little sister? Why don't you come back with me to get an umbrella?"
"No, grandma, I'll wait here for a while."
The old lady looked up and noticed the determination in the girl's eyes. She recalled the loss she felt when she pursued love in her youth but failed. As someone who had experienced this, she could only shake her head and did not answer, but put the umbrella in her hand aside.
Since she lives next door, it's not like she'll get wet if she walks a few steps. So the umbrella should be given to someone who needs it more. Otherwise, it would be too miserable for someone who has both a broken heart and a sudden cold.
Miyano Akemi squatted down at the door again and waited for about ten minutes, repeatedly calling his number with her cell phone, but there was no response.
It seems that it is just as grandma said. He left without saying a word and actually chose to leave without saying goodbye.
Becoming a police officer was his life goal, so what was he thinking when he chose to take off his police uniform and leave on graduation day? What happened that she didn't know about?
Miyano Akemi did not pick up the umbrella, but ran directly to the street in the rain, looking at the high wall that she had climbed over before. It was also while sitting on the wall that she saw him for the first time wearing a clean Kyudo uniform.
She took a few steps back, then jumped up with some strength, but the rain made the wall a little slippery, and if she hadn't had good balance, she would have fallen.
Sitting on the wall, Akemi Miyano looked inside. There was no white figure in the archery field. It was completely different from the scene when they first met. The grass had turned yellow and withered, and was bent by the rain.
She looked down at the height she was afraid to jump from. This time he was not there to catch her.
The rain is still falling, with no sign of stopping.
——"It's very dangerous to enter the archery dojo without permission, don't you know?"
I can still hear his expressionless lecturing when we first met, even his straight-laced way of asking how long I'd have to sit on his wall. Miyano Akemi really wanted to ask out loud: Don't you think you should help me get down first?
But now there is no one to teach me, and no one will climb the tree to help me get the envelope down.
Miyano Akemi didn't sit there for long. After making sure that something would not happen, she closed her eyes and jumped down.
The result was, of course, a shambling fall to the ground, her carefully prepared outfit stained with mud. She quickly stood up and didn't cry like a delicate girl, but simply raised her hand to wipe the muddy water that splashed on her face.
Miyano Akemi walked quickly to the left and turned the doorknob. It was locked. She turned and looked at the stone eagle next to the gate. If she remembered correctly, he would put the key to the gate in the stone eagle's beak.
She walked forward and reached into the stone eagle's beak. Sure enough, there were keys inside, and more than one.
When she found the two keys, Miyano Akemi realized that what her grandmother said was correct. He probably really didn't plan to come back, otherwise why would he put all the keys to the house here?
I don't know what kind of mood I was in, but I inserted the key, turned the doorknob, and slowly pushed the door open.
——"The temperature has dropped significantly in the evening, so you'd better come inside."
Miyano Akemi's hand on the doorknob couldn't help but shrink inwards. Whenever he was around, she would remember what he said to her. So, has her love for Fujiwara-kun reached this level?

She looked at the dust on the shoe cabinet. It was obvious that no one had cleaned it, which meant that he left in a hurry.
Walking towards the living room, I smelled a faint lemon scent. Looking down, I noticed broken glass all over the wooden floor. The water stains had not dried up in this cool weather.
What exactly happened here? It is unknown.
Akemi Miyano noticed that there was a book on the coffee table, and the coffee table had been deliberately wiped. There were obvious rectangular marks on the floor on the side where the book was placed. Something had covered the dust, causing the color of the dust to become lighter.
She sat on the sofa and picked up the book. The cover clearly read "The Complete Works of Natsume Soseki". As she liked reading modern literature, she naturally knew who Natsume Soseki was. You know, Natsume Soseki's portrait is still printed on the 1,000 yen banknote.
Therefore, the traces on the ground were left by the suitcase, and the book should have been in the suitcase but was not taken away.
Is that for myself? But why would I leave a book for myself?
When Akemi Miyano opened the book, she saw a line of beautiful handwriting in the blank space, with five words written on it: To Saito Masami.
She couldn't wait to turn the pages, and only noticed the white bookmark tucked in when she got to the middle.
There was a pale pink double cherry blossom on the bookmark, and beneath it were two tickets to Dorobiga Land, clearly purchased in advance. But none of this concerned Akemi Miyano. She stared at the words on the bookmark, reluctant to look away.
The moon is beautiful tonight.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, mist gathered in her sapphire eyes, and the raindrops on her hair dripped onto the pages of the book as she lowered her head. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears.
She didn't know why he left without saying goodbye, but she could tell he had his reasons and it wasn't intentional. The unprocessed glass fragments were the best answer.
She carefully put the bookmark back to its original place, went to the bathroom and used a hair dryer to dry the rain-soaked sweater and cardigan, then wrapped the "Complete Works of Natsume Soseki" in it and held it in her arms.
He put the key back into the stone eagle's mouth, pushed open the heavy door, and picked up the umbrella that his grandmother had given him.
I walked around the pond and headed towards home. After I took a few steps, the rain stopped.
Miyano Akemi couldn't help but look up at the moon hanging in the night sky. Perhaps because the heavy rain had just stopped, there was a faint halo around the full moon, giving it a hazy and beautiful feeling.
She rarely looks up at the moon, but today she really wants to see it a few more times.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight.
The wind is also gentle.
She looked away, looked towards the steps in front of the apartment, and whispered to herself:
"……Me too."
