The sudden change caught Lin Ye completely off guard.
In reality, when Lin Ye gained the time-stop ability, he did consider the possibility that one day this superpower might disappear.
However, after using it repeatedly, day after day, and seeing no sign of it failing or vanishing, Lin Ye gradually began to believe that the time-stop would never disappear, that he would always have it. But now, it seemed he had been overthinking it.
This superpower only lasts for one week.
Lin Ye suddenly saw some text appear in his vision, just like when he first traveled to this world and saw that string of words:
[Your time-stop ability from last week has ended.]
[Defect unlocked.]
[The defect is: the female closest to you when you first use the "time-stop" will not be affected by the time-stop during its use.]
Lin Ye: ???
So this is the defect? Who was the closest female to him at that time?
It was Hoshino Ai.
In other words, when he used the time-stop while interacting with Hoshino Ai, she had been able to see everything.
Including all the inappropriate things he did to her.
He was shocked.
Hoshino Ai didn't show any reaction at all.
Lin Ye marveled at her acting skills.
[Your superpower for this week has been updated.]
[Superpower — X-ray Vision.]
[But the defect is ■■■■■.]
At this moment, Lin Ye was completely certain about his situation. The superpower experience period lasts for one week, and this week's superpower is X-ray vision. Last week's time-stop experience had already ended.
"Such a huge loss!"
Compared to X-ray vision, time-stop was far more useful.
Everything X-ray vision could do, time-stop could do as well. But there were many things time-stop could do that X-ray vision simply couldn't.
Lin Ye suddenly felt the pressure.
The "Strange Game" had just switched from easy mode to hard mode in an instant.
I don't want X-ray vision, I want time-stop!
Replacing time-stop with X-ray vision was a huge loss.
He felt completely demoralized, looking lifeless. The images of Shizuka Hiratsuka and Hina Tachibana in their beautiful forms, which had once excited him, were now pushed into a corner of his mind, unable to stir any emotions.
In his frustration,
Lin Ye suddenly thought of another problem.
Just now, he had used X-ray vision to see Shizuka Hiratsuka and Hina Tachibana in their underwear, but he also used the time-stop afterward. Although it was only for a few seconds, it was indeed the time-stop ability.
Who else understood the feeling of using "time-stop" better than him? No one.
He had definitely used the "time-stop." Otherwise, how could this teacher, who had a violent tendency, not react at all when he poked Shizuka Hiratsuka?
This was absolutely impossible.
So...
What's going on?
Could it be that the time-stop ability wasn't fully reset?
Did it leave a little bit behind?
No way!
Lin Ye pondered repeatedly but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
"Hey, what are you thinking about! Are you trying to come up with an excuse to get out of this? Let me tell you, I won't let you off easily for skipping class today," Shizuka Hiratsuka said, crossing her arms and looking at Lin Ye with slight dissatisfaction.
No matter what, she never expected that in the blink of an eye, Lin Ye would actually go and touch Hina Tachibana, taking advantage of her.
If Hina Tachibana pursued legal action, Lin Ye would definitely be taken to the police station, and if things got serious, he might even be deported. Shizuka Hiratsuka was so angry just now and even resorted to a fist to punish him, hoping that this would calm Hina Tachibana down and prevent her from holding Lin Ye accountable.
But,
Shizuka Hiratsuka never expected Hina Tachibana to step in and actively protect Lin Ye, even explaining things on his behalf.
This was completely unexpected.
"There's something off."
She felt that something must have happened between Lin Ye and Hina Tachibana; otherwise, Hina Tachibana wouldn't have gone this far to cover for him.
Shizuka Hiratsuka is curiosity was piqued.
"Teacher, uh, how should I put it... I stayed up too late last night, and just missed my alarm, so I overslept," Lin Ye coughed twice and explained.
The test last night was too draining, putting too much strain on his mental energy, which caused him to sleep until now.
"Be honest."
"The tall, black-haired beauty came to my apartment last night, and I couldn't sleep all night," Lin Ye admitted.
The small apartment was silent, and Shizuka Hiratsuka is eyelid twitched, turning into helplessness.
Who would believe that?
Beep beep beep... The sound of horns from passing cars outside broke the silence.
"It's really not good to keep skipping class like this. If the school holds you accountable and even asks for your expulsion, I won't be able to do much as your teacher. I really don't want to see the day you get expelled," Shizuka Hiratsuka said, speaking sincerely.
This wasn't because she cared particularly about Lin Ye. She always tried to treat all students equally and would do her best to guide and change any problem students, helping them get back on the right track.
"Sorry, I've caused trouble for you, Hiratsuka-sensei," Lin Ye said.
But this made Shizuka Hiratsuka even more frustrated.
If Lin Ye had argued a little or even stubbornly said he didn't want to go to class, she could have used some more forceful methods to change his attitude.
But this guy's polite and sincere attitude made it difficult for her to push further.
"Shizuka-senpai, I'm sure Lin-san didn't do it on purpose. He'll definitely be more careful next time, right, Lin-san?" Hina Tachibana smiled and gave a subtle glance.
"Yes, teacher, there was an unexpected situation last night. I won't be late again, won't leave early, and I won't cause you trouble anymore... um, I'll try my best…" Lin Ye said, though his last words made Shizuka Hiratsuka almost believe him once again.
"Go wash up and change into your school uniform, I'll wait for you."
"Huh?!"
"What are you staring at? Hurry up," she urged.
"It's almost two o'clock. We still have to go to school?" Lin Ye immediately headed to the bathroom to wash up as he saw Shizuka Hiratsuka is expression.
Splash, splash... The sound of running water filled the apartment.
Shizuka Hiratsuka now had the leisure to observe the state of the apartment.
"The room is quite clean," she noted.
It was much tidier than her own apartment. For a high school boy's apartment, the hygiene was remarkable. She thought that Lin Ye must have strong self-control.
But why didn't he like studying?
Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed.
Meanwhile, Hina Tachibana opened the window, letting in a cool breeze that tousled her chestnut-colored hair.
Fresh air filled the apartment.
Ten minutes later,
Lin Ye finished washing up quickly and came out dressed in his high school uniform.
The black, well-fitted uniform of Sobu High perfectly accentuated Lin Ye's tall and athletic frame.
"Teacher, I'm done."
Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at him.
To be honest, she thought that if Lin Ye were a bit more proactive and pursued other girls from Sobu High, his chances would probably be high. But unfortunately, the person he once pursued was Yukino Yukinoshita.
She knew exactly what kind of girl Yukino Yukinoshita was like.
Trying to date Yukino? Sigh, it would be more reliable to just focus on getting into the University of Tokyo.
"Let's go!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka turned and walked toward the door of the apartment.
At that moment, Hina Tachibana flashed a smile at Lin Ye, signaling him not to worry, and patted her chest with her right hand, indicating she would help.
Good teachers are always helpful.
Lin Ye followed them downstairs to the street.
However, when Hina Tachibana reached the dangerous road they had walked down the night before, she subconsciously felt tense and glanced around, worried that something strange might appear again.
She had deliberately avoided this road on the way here, but she had forgotten on the way back.
Sigh.
"Teacher, I didn't have breakfast or lunch," Lin Ye suddenly said, drawing the attention of both Shizuka Hiratsuka and Hina Tachibana.
"You're not thinking of finding an opportunity to escape, are you?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked.
"No, I'm really hungry. If I don't eat something, I won't even have the strength to walk. If you, Shizuka-sensei, give me a piggyback ride to Sobu High, we can continue," Lin Ye said, stepping toward her and dramatically extending his arms as if trying to jump on her.
The female teacher quickly sidestepped, avoiding him.
"Let's see if there's anything to eat around here."
"There's a ramen shop over there, the taste is quite good. Teacher, if you haven't eaten lunch, you should join us."
"No need, both Hina and I have already eaten," Shizuka Hiratsuka replied.
A few minutes later, under Lin Ye's guidance, the trio arrived at the ramen shop.
Lin Ye ordered a bowl of tomato egg noodles.
Five minutes later, the steaming bowl of tomato egg noodles was served, with golden eggs paired with red tomatoes, and green onions sprinkled on top. The noodles were submerged in a rich broth, and the whole bowl emitted a tempting fragrance.
Lin Ye started eating.
The moment the noodles and broth entered his stomach, his previously empty belly felt satisfied, and his weak body regained some energy.
At this time, the ramen shop only had Lin Ye as a customer; Shizuka Hiratsuka and Hina Tachibana were just accompanying him.
The owner and the waitstaff didn't say much, but couldn't help but glance a few more times since both Shizuka Hiratsuka and Hina Tachibana were beautiful women.
Shizuka Hiratsuka stared at Lin Ye while Hina Tachibana started scrolling on her phone and sent a message to her sister, Rui Tachibana.
Soon, she got a reply,
This made Hina Tachibana hum and immediately sent another message.
— No playing with your phone during class. Focus on studying.
She knew that this time was precisely during class hours.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye, while eating noodles and savoring the broth, subconsciously began to think.
Now that he had lost time-stop,
His bold approach in the past would have to change.
If he was going to continue with the "strange game," he had to be more cautious and thoughtful.
Currently, his game level was LV1, and to level up to LV2, he needed 50 experience points, which meant he just needed to complete one "real-life regular task" to level up.
As for the items he currently possessed, they included the initial card obtained from the box, a gas mask, and various weapons like guns, ammunition, and grenades taken from the Atlantic Federation military base.
Lin Ye was glad he had acted quickly and taken multiple trips to collect a good amount of weapons. Otherwise, without his time-stop ability, he wouldn't be able to obtain military supplies.
The strange items he had were the "Snake Eye Gem," "Girl's Bracelet," and "Movie Ticket."
As for skills, he had "Persuasion LV3" and...
"Wait?"
Looking at the golden skill listed in his skill bar, Lin Ye was stunned.
[Time-Stop LV1]
What? How did this time-stop skill suddenly appear?
[Name: Time-Stop LV1]
[Category: Skill]
[Quality: Gold]
[Ability: After using this skill, the world (except for the user) will fall into a relative state of stillness for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour.]
[Usage Requirements: None]
[Usage Method: Whisper 'Time-Stop Activate']
**[Note 1: You were definitely blessed by the goddess of luck in your previous life. Was her
name "Aqua"?]**
[Note 2: Three seconds, plenty of time to do a lot of things, right? You know exactly what I'm talking about.]
[Special Reminder: Use with caution and keep it secret. If this skill is exposed, you will immediately become a target, and players will try to steal it from you and kill you to prevent future threats.]
...
Lin Ye finally understood. The time-stop ability was still there.
He hadn't completely lost it.
Suddenly, Lin Ye saw a new mail notification and clicked on it.
He read the message.
[Detection has found residual traces of the "Time-Stop" skill on the player. The game has collected and reassembled it, granting the player this skill.]
[Congratulations, you've gained a new skill—Time-Stop LV1.]
[Thank you for discovering the new skill and enriching the "Weird Game" database.]
[We look forward to your future performance in the game.]
[It continues to monitor your activity.]
...
...
Good game, good game!
The superpower time stop indeed disappeared after being refreshed, and the new superpower, X-ray vision, replaced it. However, the "Weird Game" detected residual traces of the "time stop" ability and re-collected it, granting him this skill.
The time stop skill is naturally much weaker than his experience version of the superpower time stop, but it's better than nothing!
Moreover, this skill can be upgraded using game points, so there is hope for the future.
Golden skill,
This is the highest quality rating in the "Weird Game."
You could say it's a slight compensation for what was lost.
But since the superpower time stop can be transformed into the game skill time stop after a week, the superpower X-ray vision might also be transferrable, right?
In that case,
Wouldn't there be a new skill every week?
Feels great!
Lin Ye couldn't help but smile, his lips curving into a grin.
Clearing the "Weird Game" is just a matter of time; there's not much pressure. This game can still be played casually.
Lin Ye took a bite of his noodles and suddenly noticed the strange gazes from the two beautiful female teachers sitting across from him, especially Shizuka Hiratsuka's smile, which sent an involuntary chill down his spine.
"Teacher, this..."
"What's so good? Tell me, let's share the happiness."
"I was thinking, if I suddenly awaken X-ray vision, how should I make money?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed.
"Study well, stop fantasizing. And if you had X-ray vision, I'm sure the first thing you'd do isn't making money."
"Ah! Then what would it be?"
"Peeping at beautiful girls. I bet the first person you'd look at would be Yukino. If that happens, let me know, I'll call the police. I have a friend at the police station who could get some more cases."
Shizuka Hiratsuka patted Lin Ye's shoulder and said seriously.
"Teacher, how could I be that kind of person?"
I'd be using the X-ray vision to see you first, teacher! You have an amazing figure, better than most twenty-year-olds, and you dress so sexy. You definitely know how to show off, and men would love it.
After Lin Ye calmed down, a nameless fire began to burn within him.
He consciously restrained himself to avoid reacting.
"I hope so. As your homeroom teacher, I wouldn't want my students to go down a path of crime."
Hina Tachibana, standing nearby, just smiled and nodded to show her presence.
Five minutes later,
Lin Ye finished his last spoonful of soup, and the three of them set off for the tram station.
At the tram station, Lin Ye began experimenting with his X-ray vision.
He focused on the briefcase of the man sitting across from him.
Concentrating his gaze,
The first layer of the black briefcase disappeared.
He continued.
The inner compartment also vanished, revealing the documents inside.
Lin Ye could clearly see the text,
Then, he continued.
The text on the second sheet also entered his field of vision.
After staring for a few minutes, Lin Ye began to feel his eyes strain, so he closed them and ended the first experiment.
The effect was still strong.
However, further testing is required to determine the intensity and duration of the X-ray vision.
At 3:02 PM,
Lin Ye arrived once again at Sobu High.
Under the sunlight, the school was bright and clean. During class hours, the campus was quiet, with the occasional sound of students reading aloud and teachers giving lessons.
After crossing the front yard, Lin Ye entered the classroom building and changed into his indoor shoes.
"Teacher, I'm going to class."
"Don't,"
Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped him.
"At this time, the students are about to finish class. Don't go to class now. Come with me to the guidance office."
Is this a special mission to educate me properly in the school's guidance office?
"What's the matter... Don't want to?"
"No, I'm very willing."
Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Hina Tachibana.
"Hina, thank you so much today."
"Hina-sensei, there's no trouble. Lin-san is my student, it's what I should do."
"Mm, thank Hina."
Shizuka Hiratsuka urged Lin Ye.
"Hina-sensei, thank you."
"No need, no need to thank me."
After greeting her, Hina Tachibana returned to her office, and Lin Ye went to the guidance office.
Since Shizuka Hiratsuka hadn't arrived yet, Lin Ye started using his X-ray vision to observe.
"Oh!"
"There are quite a few people sleeping in class."
"Watching hentai, too much. The middle-aged male teacher is giving a lesson, and you're watching hentai beneath him. This is too much."
"One person is also looking at model photo books."
Lin Ye adjusted his gaze to look at other classes.
Tap-tap-tap
Footsteps were heard.
Lin Ye quickly withdrew his gaze.
Shizuka Hiratsuka entered the guidance office and took out a disposable cup, pouring Lin Ye a glass of water.
"Teacher, you really don't have to be so polite."
"Hehe, don't worry, I won't be polite later,"
No, please continue being polite!
Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled out a chair and sat down.
She seemed a little tired, so she subconsciously opened a drawer and pulled out a cigarette.
But soon, Shizuka Hiratsuka remembered that Lin Ye, a minor, was present, so she put the cigarette down and extinguished it.
"Teacher, you can smoke, it's fine."
"No, I won't."
She put both the cigarette and lighter back into the drawer.
"I've talked to you several times before, but you've lost your memory, so I don't know if you remember our previous conversations. So, while we have the time today, let me have another proper conversation with you."
Lin Ye was surprisingly not rejecting this.
In his previous life, he was always a good student in elementary, middle, and high school. Even in university, he never skipped classes. Even when there was an emergency, he would contact the teacher in advance to explain and ask for leave.
So, he had never experienced being criticized by a teacher, let alone a one-on-one educational talk.
This feeling was somewhat new and fresh.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, please go ahead."
"Have you thought about what to do for the next two years of high school?"
Study, exercise, fight monsters, clear the weird game, and become a winner in life.
"Study hard, and make progress every day."
"Let's be serious now."
Shizuka Hiratsuka knew Lin Ye would say that.
"Teacher, I'm serious. I'll study hard, at least in subjects like math, physics, chemistry, and biology. I'll definitely get good grades."
Every day, I'll spend a bit of time revisiting the knowledge I've missed and return to studying for the teachers.
For other subjects, I won't push for perfection.
"What about your plans for the future? After high school, do you plan to return to your home country or continue studying in Japan for university?"
"I haven't really thought about it."
This response was the same as before, no change.
"Teacher hopes you study well, master knowledge. Although grades don't determine your entire future, you can create a wonderful and happy life with your own hands. However, good grades give you more choices and help you develop better willpower and self-control."
Shizuka Hiratsuka said a lot, hoping Lin Ye would study hard and not give up after a week, returning to his previous bad habits.
Lin Ye's improvement in the past week gave Shizuka Hiratsuka hope, but today's truancy did worry her.
"I understand, teacher. I'll do my best."
Compared to Hachiman's harsh punishment in the original, Lin Ye was doing much better. At least Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't use her fists to teach him.
Now,
Sobu High had finished classes,
Teachers had returned to their offices and started packing up textbooks and materials.
In the hallway, students walked in small groups, and the sound of cleaning could be heard.
Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't speak, so Lin Ye just continued sitting.
"Are you going straight home after school?"
"Mm."
"Joining a club to expand your social circle is also a major part of life."
"I'll consider it."
"Alright!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up, dusted off her clothes.
"Well, teacher, I'll take my leave for now. See you tomorrow,"
"Don't hurry off, come with me for a moment."
"Huh?"
Amidst his confusion, Lin Ye followed Shizuka Hiratsuka is steps.
They left the teaching building and arrived at the club building of Sobu High.
Turning a corner, Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped in front of a classroom door, her right hand reaching out to place on the door.
Could it be...?
Lin Ye thought of something.
Could this be the Service Club? Shizuka Hiratsuka was bringing him here to join the Service Club. Isn't this a treatment exclusive to the male protagonist?
Whoosh!
The classroom door opened.
"Shizuka-sensei, how many times do I have to say this? Please knock before entering."
"Sorry, Yukino, I forgot for a moment."
Shizuka Hiratsuka chuckled.
At this moment, Lin Ye couldn't help but marvel internally. He was experiencing what the male protagonist from My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU went through. At this moment, he was the male protagonist.
The feeling was surprisingly good.
The next moment,
Lin Ye followed Shizuka Hiratsuka inside and looked up at the girl by the window.
The girl had an incredibly cute face, with long, smooth black hair that fluttered in the breeze from the window, creating a graceful arc.
Her skin was as white as snow, and she wore nothing at all.
????
Was she... not wearing any clothes?
Lin Ye was completely confused.
At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita was completely naked, her skin as white as snow. The usual black school uniform from Sōbu High was missing!
When did he activate his X-ray vision?
He hadn't!
Lin Ye consciously turned off his X-ray vision but found that the girl was still exposed—her smooth, fair skin and delicate body completely visible to him.
What was going on?
Why couldn't he turn it off?
Lin Ye quickly looked towards Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was wearing a white lab coat, unaffected by the X-ray vision.
Consciously, he activated it again, and the lab coat disappeared. Soon after, her suit also vanished, revealing the black lace underneath, covering her alluring body.
This was normal!
The X-ray power seemed to work fine, so why did it malfunction with Yukino Yukinoshita?
Could it be... a flaw?
Lin Ye immediately found an explanation for the situation.
This must be a flaw in the X-ray vision.
Don't blame me, Yukino, I really didn't mean to.
But your skin is amazing. Too bad your figure can't match Shizuka-sensei or Hina Hina-sensei, but you have potential.
Really, I'm serious.
He quickly suppressed his inner emotions and tried to compose himself.
A few seconds earlier,
Yukino Yukinoshita had seen Shizuka Hiratsuka burst in and let out a slight sigh as she put down her literary anthology.
She lifted her head, brushing her black hair back, and looked toward the door of the classroom.
But the next moment,
She froze, her pupils shrinking, and her legs gave way as she immediately sat back down in her chair.
Why was there a naked man following Shizuka Hiratsuka into the room?!
A pervert!
Wait, this man seemed familiar. Wasn't he Lin Ye, her classmate? The one who skipped class today, and now he was here, naked, caught by Shizuka Hiratsuka and brought to the Service Club.
Calm down, Yukino.
Yukino Yukinoshita kept reminding herself, but her trembling hands betrayed her inner turmoil.
"Teacher, you just didn't want to knock, but what exactly does this pervert want by following Shizuka-sensei to the Service Club?"
She glanced at Lin Ye, only to see that he was still completely naked, so she immediately turned her gaze away.
It wasn't an illusion. He really wasn't wearing any clothes.
This image... I need to erase it from my mind!
"Ahem, although Lin Ye sometimes skips class, he's not a pervert."
"Staying in the same room as him, I feel like I'm in danger."
Shizuka Hiratsuka: ???
"Don't worry, even if Lin Ye is bold, he wouldn't do anything to hurt girls. I can guarantee that. He's fundamentally a good person."
She patted Lin Ye's shoulder and chuckled.
Yukino Yukinoshita began to realize something and furrowed her brows as she pondered.
Had Shizuka-sensei not noticed Lin Ye's nakedness?
Was he actually wearing clothes?
The problem wasn't Lin Ye, but her own perception?
Yukino Yukinoshita endured the urge to look at Lin Ye again but reluctantly glanced at him, seeing that indeed, he was still naked.
Could it be that she had developed an X-ray vision ability?
"So, Teacher, what brings you here?"
Suppressing her inner turmoil, Yukino Yukinoshita remained calm and spoke slowly.
"I brought him to join the Service Club, to add a new member to your club."
Yukino Yukinoshita is hand trembled slightly.
"Reject."
"Ah! You haven't even heard my reasons!"
"Reject. It's inappropriate. Having a male who has confessed to me multiple times joining my club would make me feel a threat to my chastity. Sorry, Shizuka-sensei."
Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately glared at Lin Ye.
"Why did you confess so many times before?"
"That was all from the original me,"
Lin Ye shrugged,
Those were the original confessions, not mine.
"I'll say this though, Yukino, you can still trust me."
"Oh!"
Lin Ye nodded, somewhat understanding but also not fully.
Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately organized her words,
"Here's the thing, Yukino. Last Monday, he encountered a sudden event and lost his memory."
Yukino Yukinoshita sat up, her gaze meeting Shizuka Hiratsuka is.
"He can't remember many things. He has no friends in school, and he's always alone in class. Today, he fainted in his apartment, and no one knew. It was me and Hina who rushed over and found him."
I... well, strictly speaking, I didn't faint.
But since Shizuka-sensei said so, he didn't want to contradict her.
"So, I hope he can join the Service Club, and you can help guide him, help him build a new, positive life outlook. With your guidance, I'm sure he'll be on the right path."
"..."
"This is my request. Please, Yukino."
Shizuka Hiratsuka asked earnestly.
"Teacher, you're putting me in a difficult position,"
Her tone was slightly hesitant and troubled.
"Please."
Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her lips together, struggling internally. She wanted to reject it, but Shizuka-sensei had asked so sincerely.
However, regarding her X-ray vision, she did have some thoughts—maybe keeping Lin Ye in the Service Club could help her find out something.
Although she really didn't want to see a naked man polluting her eyes.
But this guy's body wasn't bad, and well... wasn't there something...
Yukino Yukinoshita immediately suppressed her rising thoughts.
Seeing this, Lin Ye spoke up.
"Teacher, since Yukino-san is feeling troubled, let's forget it! There's no need to force her. I'll make sure to keep my promises to you. You don't have to worry about my studies. I'll get good grades in the next exam."
Here,
Lin Ye looked at Yukino, admiring the beautiful view in front of him.
Art. A perfect work of art.
But Lin Ye felt that if he stayed any longer, he might have a reaction.
So, rather than stay and battle with his willpower and physical response, it was better to leave! After all, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't seem to want to accept him anyway.
"Yukino, this is my request as your teacher. If he causes trouble or bothers you in the club, just tell me, and I'll immediately take him out of the Service Club."
The sunlight outside grew even redder, and a gentle breeze blew, cherry blossoms falling.
She made up her mind.
The girl with the long black hair, bathed in the breeze, spoke slowly.
