After saying goodbye to Arisa at the station, I went back to Tsukishima, threw the clothes into the washing machine, and then went to Risa's apartment. I planned to spend the night at Risa's house today.

When we arrived at Risa's house, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Hejun, I have work tomorrow morning, so I need to go to bed early today."

"Um."

Having said that, even though they didn't do that, they couldn't fall asleep immediately after lying down on the bed, and they hugged each other and chatted for a long time.

"Hejun, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Well...I suddenly want to talk to you. Hejun rarely comes to see me recently, and I am a little worried about your current situation."

"Sorry, I've been busy writing lately."

"Hmm~~ I don't mean to blame you, and Hejun's physical condition is not good either."

"That sounds weird."

"Because it's just not good, otherwise why would I always go to the hospital?"

"Uh..." I really couldn't refute.

Although the actual situation is slightly different from what Risa understands, my body is indeed not healthy, especially my mental state.

It's just that I can't talk to her about this topic.

"How is the condition of Hejun's voice? I'm still worried about this aspect."

Because the office notice mentioned physical and throat discomfort, as Risa is troubled by throat diseases, it is reasonable for her to worry about such things.

Although I'm sorry for concealing my illness, mental illness is more worrying than before. There have been many similar reports in the news. People suffering from this kind of illness may eventually take extreme measures.

, and thus leave this world.

I don't want them to worry about this.

And on the inner level, I may have been mentally prepared for death.

"It's okay, or I can give you an impromptu performance right now?"

"Don't make trouble, we are serious."

I smiled and pinched her soft cheek.

"Risa really loves to worry."

"How can I not worry? Hejun is... is... the person I like. Worrying about the body of the person I like is wrong. What on earth is wrong?"

Her somewhat tough yet shy tone made me hug her body tightly and couldn't help but inhale her fragrance from her snow-white neck.

"Wait...didn't you agree not to do it today?"

"Well, I just suddenly want to hug you tightly, can't I?"

"Yeah...it's not impossible."

Risa shyly put her arms behind my back, gently tying my hair, and said in a soft voice: "Really, Kazu-kun is such a spoiled child."

"It's Risa who's so cute."

Her soft smile came to my ears, and I felt extremely satisfied with hugging the girl I loved late at night.

…

…

At the end of September, I took Ayane back to my parents’ house in Ueno.

Ayin acted very reserved, which was very different from her usual style. She seemed like a naughty student who was called to the office, feeling scared and at a loss, which I found particularly cute.

My mother was very shocked at first, but then she warmly welcomed us.

In contrast, my father's behavior was much calmer, but I could see that he was also happy that I had found someone I liked.

When my mother heard that I planned to marry Caiyin, my mother's tears fell instantly. Caiyin was extremely panicked and looked at me at a loss. My father comforted her, but I couldn't say a word.

come out.

I knew very well in my heart that everything I did was evil, whether it was riding on a few boats, hiding their marriage to Caiyin, or delivering the news to my parents.

The moment the truth is revealed, everyone around me will be hurt by me. This is already doomed.

It's like playing a game that has been spoiled for a long time. No matter how beautiful the process is and how enjoyable the process is, it will eventually end in an unfortunate ending.

As early as the night when I kissed Yousha forcefully, everything was already doomed.

"Kazuto, hey Duo...Ms. Sakura, do you want to stay at home tonight?"

When my mother asked us this question, I glanced at Caiyin subconsciously. She was speechless and her face must have turned red.

"No, Ayin has work tomorrow, so we'll go back to Tsukishima."

"That's it."

I could clearly feel that Ayin breathed a sigh of relief. She had to stay at the husband's parents' house before she even got married. It was indeed a shy thing for her.

"Kazuto, you must pay attention to your health."

My mother's voice was full of worry, and I smiled and said it was okay.

"Auntie, I will take good care of Kazuto-kun."

To my surprise, Ayane showed a very gentle side in front of her mother. My mother held her hand happily, as if saying "I leave my son to you", which was a bit embarrassing for me.

After leaving my parents' house, Caiyin and I held hands and walked together under the moonlight.

"Kazuto-kun, did I perform well today? Will I be considered a somewhat out-of-touch child?"

"If it refers to biting your tongue when saying hello, I don't think you need to worry about it. Who wouldn't care about this kind of thing."

"Woo..."

Anyway, my parents were of course very satisfied with Ayin, but they felt that I was not worthy of such a girl, and I had the same idea.

My mother even repeatedly asked, "Is it really okay that my Kazuto is a divorced person?" When Ayane said firmly that she didn't care about such a thing, I could feel my parents' shock.

.

In short, this should be the result that Caiyin and I pursue together.

We conveyed our feelings to each other's parents and received the recognition and blessings of both parents. Is there any happier outcome than this?

If I had not taken action against Arisa, Risa, and Hidaka-san, I would have lived an extremely happy life with Ayane in the future, sharing each other's lives forever.

I don’t know if such a world line exists.

If so, I really hope that Mogami Kazuto and Sakura Ayane in that world line can always be happy.

"Hey, Kazuto-kun."

"Um?"

Walking hand in hand with my beloved fiancée on the streets of Ueno, the filth, darkness, and self-loathing in my heart curled up in the corners of my body, shivering. Just because the girl next to me made me feel more powerful than the moonlight above my head.

Dazzling.

"I will definitely make you happy. I want you to truly feel that it is great to choose me and Ayane Sakura."

I couldn't even detect what kind of expression she had when she said this.

I desperately wanted to respond to her expectations, but inexplicable bitterness rushed to the tip of my nose, and I tried hard not to let the crocodile tears fall.
