I took Miss Hidaka away.

Without saying a word.

Like a whirlwind blowing in midsummer, there must be something floating far away with the wind.

Where do I take her?

yes.

I want to take her to watch the sunset.

As a person, at many critical moments, I always have an inexplicable feeling that I am not myself, and it is easy to forget what I should remember and remember what I should forget.

It is true that I have not achieved any great success, and almost all my efforts are just expediency and temporary waste, all designed to deceive them.

But my current actions, I am convinced, no... I hope they are my sincere thoughts from the bottom of my heart.

I have never led anyone on a run like this. In this bright and bustling metropolis, looking down from the Sky Tree, we can only be regarded as a pixel grid of black dots.

But both I and Miss Rigao are extremely vivid lives.

Even for a person like me, I am truly loved by girls. As long as they love me, then my life must have meaning, except for the meaning that hurts them, which I have not yet known.

She was taken to that place by me for no apparent reason. It was a bustling place. It was already half past five. I bought the nearest flight. I could go anywhere, as long as I could leave immediately.

So, I took Hidaka-san with me, who didn't understand the situation at all.

I boarded the train that was bound for who knows where.

…

…

"Wait... Totsuka-kun?"

Her voice was full of confusion, and her tone gradually took on a vigilant tone.

I tried to sound as relaxed as possible: "Don't worry about me kidnapping you to some remote area. There are other passengers in the car, so please feel free."

"That's not the point! I have recording work in the evening!"

Before I could speak, the stewardess came over and said, "Sorry, madam, this is a silent carriage. The train will start soon. Please take a seat first and wait for the train to stabilize before you can move around."

Ms. Hidaka was completely silent. I could feel the train shaking under my feet, getting ready to go.

Finally, she sat down by the window, and I sat next to her on the aisle.

The train started, and I silently looked at the ticket in my hand. It showed that we were taking the Lightspeed train and the Shinkansen.

The destination is Kyoto.

It takes 2 hours and 35 minutes one way and more than five hours round trip.

In other words, when we set foot on Tokyo again, it will be after 11 pm at the earliest.

It seems that she can't keep up with the recording work at night.

I tilted my head and looked at Ms. Hidaka next to me. She was trembling, with clenched fists on her knees. I didn't know if she would use those cute fists to rush towards my side of the face.

Well... Anyway, I don't have to work now, so even if my appearance is disfigured, it won't be a big deal, but it will be troublesome to explain it to Ayane and Risa.

"That...Miss Hidaka?"

"Ku...!"

It was understandable that I heard angry onomatopoeia from her mouth. Although she asked me to take her to watch the sunset, I never told her where to go to watch it.

Moreover, the destination on the ticket is Kyoto. Two and a half hours later, let alone sunset, the moon has already clocked in to go to work.

I stared at her hands for a long time. At first, she clenched her fists and trembled, then gradually loosened them and placed her fingers on her knees.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a heavy sigh.

She wordlessly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, as if she was sending a message to someone.

"Um...are you there?"

"Don't you understand? Send a message to your agent and tell her that there has been a big change at the moment. I hope the recording time of the program can be adjusted. Although it is a one-person broadcast, this will also cause a lot of trouble for the program team."

I heard an astonishingly cold tone from her mouth, and I had the impression that I had never known her to use such a voice in her daily life.

"Um...sorry."

“Don’t think you can get away with anything by apologizing!”

I was silent and waited for her communication with the agent to end without saying a word.

After a long while, she sighed and stuffed the phone back into her bag, then raised her hand to hold her forehead, muttering something like "I'm such a fool."

The Shinkansen swayed regularly under me, and I couldn't help but make a sound again.

"Miss Hidaka..."

She turned her head and seemed to be looking at me.

"Totsuka-kun, can you explain to me what's going on now?"

"Because Ms. Hidaka said she wanted to watch the sunset..."

"You didn't say you were going somewhere other than Tokyo...!"

Just as her decibel level was about to increase, the flight attendant walked by in the aisle, and she immediately lowered her voice. I could even hear her grinding her teeth, as if she was trying to eat me alive.

"Now that we're on the bus, it's useless to worry about it."

"Whose fault do you think it is?"

"Everything will disappear sooner or later. Each of us lives while moving, and the things around us will eventually disappear as we move. This is beyond our control.

What should disappear will disappear naturally, and it will not disappear until it disappears. There is no way to do this. We can only go with the flow, and it will not help."

"Don't think you can get away with it by saying something I don't understand."

"Miss Hidaka is not in a good mood today."

"It was true before, and it is even more true now."

"When you feel lost, please don't look down at yourself. Look up at the scenery around you. Maybe it will change."

She snorted coldly through her nose: "Do you want me to look at you?"

"Of course not, I have something good to see, look over there."

After hearing what I said, her head turned to follow my line of sight.

It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the aroma of bento food floated from somewhere in the carriage. From time to time, I remembered the sound of flight attendants or passengers moving around, and the sound of hungry babies whimpering in the arms of female passengers in the corner.

The rumble of the train.

Outside the transparent car window, it is unclear whether it is a village or a wilderness. The bustling Tokyo has long been transformed into a narrow black spot. The golden sky is scattered on the undulating land. The sky and the earth merge into one, and the glass shines with incredible golden light. .

Miss Hidaka next to me suddenly turned sideways and couldn't help but touch the car window with the five fingers of her right hand, leaving shallow fingerprints and making an inaudible "sizzling" rubbing sound. There was also the faint sound of her breathing. There was a sudden pause.

The girl's hair was dyed a beautiful golden color, and she looked up blankly at the many scenery passing by outside the window. The golden color had a hint of crimson, like the shy and romantic expression of a young girl.

The golden light seemed to cover the other end of the horizon. You would never see such a gorgeous scenery in the bustling Tokyo.

This is a scenery that only belongs to the journey, a sunset that only exists during the journey.

The only beauty in the world.

In a trance, I seemed to see Miss Hidaka's face clearly reflected on the car window. She was looking up at the golden sky outside the window attentively, with beautiful golden stars in her eyes. I couldn't tell what it was.

The hallucination is still real, I just think this scene is extremely beautiful.

The train made a squeaking noise and kept speeding, but I felt that a transparent space had formed between us. Apart from me, her and this scenery, there was no room for anything else, not even the sound of the train.

It can't penetrate either.

She was watching the sunset and I was watching her.

"It's so beautiful."

"It's so beautiful."
