Chapter 187 Hear the sound of rain
Will there be another heavy snowfall?
When he said this, even Taki Yi felt suspicious.
Probably only at the southernmost point of the horizon can we not be afraid of the changes of seasons and be covered by flying snow all over the sky, becoming a country in the snow.
"Don't you know? But... I want to see a scene like that again.
Under the volcano of Sakurajima, facing the snowman like everyone else, Tak-san..." SANA opened her red lips and called him.
"Um?"
"After the coming-of-age ceremony, let's go to Sakurajima to watch the snow together?"
She extended this invitation to Takiichi.
Just like when we first met many years ago, we agreed to watch the cherry blossoms together every March.
"Okay... then let's wait until the day of the adult ceremony."
No one can imagine that the yearning for making a promise has not been realized until today, or in other words, they don’t know how to realize it.
"However, Sakura must wear more clothes at that time."
Although it is late March, spring is still the season when colds are most common.
At this time of year, Sakura's cold never gets better.
Even standing here side by side, you can still feel the cold air rushing from your unventilated nostrils to your forehead.
The glistening nasal mucus flowed non-stop, as if all the dirt had been flushed out.
"Hey, Taki-san is really considerate."
"Isn't this the right thing to do? Because it's Sakura."
Looking at her wiping her nose in her eyes, her cute and innocent look always makes Taki feel twice as warm.
Will you go to Sakurajima's volcano to watch the snow with Sakura in the future?
Now facing Miki Hirai, when talking about his original state of mind, he can still recall the feeling at that time.
If only we could predict the future.
But...how can humans predict the future?
Predict every bit of your future like a prophet, the endings of important and unimportant people.
In the many years that followed, Sakura did not mention the promise of "going to Sakurajima to see the snow together after the coming-of-age ceremony" in the letters she sent to Takiichi again.
Maybe she has laughed it off, or simply doesn't remember what she said when she was a child.
It stands to reason that if she remembers it, she will definitely talk about whether the snow on Sakurajima Island and the snow in Tokyo are similar or related in some way.
"Maybe at that time, if you mention it to Sakura, she will apologize to you."
Miki Hirai said this, she understands Sakura's character and also understands Takichi himself.
But Takiichi didn't show too many emotions because of these words.
Although I often receive letters from Sakura, I can still feel the admiration from her between the lines.
This makes him feel that as long as he expresses his true emotions, he will no longer be sincere.
They are overwhelmed by their love for each other, and have been immersed in wonderful happiness as their bodies grow.
After a few seconds of buffering, he straightened his arms and asked the maid to help arrange the cuffs, and then performed a simple massage.
"It's useless to say all this now. Maybe when I see Sakura one day in the future... I will..."
"But, have you ever thought about it?
I think Sakura has always remembered this monthly agreement, and you two have kept your promise."
Hirai Miki patted his right arm and said, "Change to the other one. This arm has been sorted."
"Ok, I know."
Takiichi pretended to be nonchalant, but when he saw his mother pursed her lips and smiled, she could only shake her head helplessly.
"Oka-san also thinks Sakura will remember this agreement?"
"Yeah...and Sakura didn't make it clear in your impression.
Should we go to Sakurajima to see the snow together at your coming-of-age ceremony, or should we go to see the snow at her coming-of-age ceremony? That’s right, right?"
"It's true that I haven't mentioned it, but we have mentioned the snow in Tokyo several times."
"Although Sakura said this at that time,... the Sakura I know is not a girl who likes to say such things against her will.
Otherwise, no matter it is the end of the year or January or February of the following year, what kind of girl would be willing to go to the southernmost tip of Sakura Country to watch the snow with a boy?"
At that time, even in Sakurajima, the danger period of avalanches was over.
That snowfall was probably the last one that year.
After that, it’s time to usher in a green patch of green and allow you to climb mountains.
Soon, there will be no fresh Tongcao fruit on the dining table.
"Indeed it is..."
"So, what happens next?"
If you go to Sakurajima, according to Takiichi's character, you will definitely climb a volcano.
But that would be Sakura's most annoying behavior. For him, in order to regain nature and those easily lost feelings, when his thoughts are blocked and his body is stiff, he will choose to climb a mountain.
And Sakura is an idiot when it comes to sports.
When Takiichi chooses to climb a mountain, he uses blood acceleration to forcefully break through the bad things that block his mind and form sweat to be discharged from the body.
Sakura will sit down somewhere and wait for him, holding a book and savoring it carefully.
"That's what happens after that..."
After making the promise to "watch the snow together like Sakurajima", Takiichi carefully calculated the time until that day.
It was accurate to the hours and minutes. As for the second hand, whenever I thought about it for a while, the second hand would always move extremely quickly, so I gave up early.
But what left the deepest impression on him that day was the rain.
In March here in Kyoto, although the weather is much warmer than the gradually leaving winter.
But you can still see the sky and the earth filled with rain from time to time.
Perhaps because of living in the mountains, you can often see scenes like clouds and mist.
This world is being washed away again and again by the rains that alternate between winter and spring.
Sakura once spent a short period of time researching questions like why it rains, which are full of scientific exploration.
But Takiichi said, "It has to rain because it has to wash away the lead from the previous season, and it has to rain because it has to melt away the frozen color of the snowflakes."
This sentence made Sakura fall in love with the rainy season, and she would read this sentence alone whenever it rained.
"Look, Taki-san~~"
After the rain stopped, Sakura looked at the top of her head and suddenly said, even though her hair was already wet at that time.
"Nani? What happened?"
Takiichi wiped his body in confusion. In fact, Sakura in that picture made his heart beat faster.
"Five centimeters per second, Taki-san wrote it before.
Isn't there a scene like this in "Sakura Copy" that caused a big sensation in the school?
The plot of Takaki Tono and Akari Shinohara seeing cherry blossoms on the downhill slope of JR Yamanote Line Park."
Sakura is like a devout believer, welcoming the treasures dropped by the gods to the mortal world.
At that time, due to the coldness brought by the rain to his whole body, Takiichi remained absent-minded for three or two seconds.
"What do you think...the Chinese teacher in our class likes it very much and said that I will become a great writer in the future."
"Yes, that's right, Taki-san always has a good grasp of the story.
My teammates also like "Sakura Copy" very much."
It was around that time that in Takiichi's consciousness, Shinohara Akari's figure began to overlap infinitely with the one in front of her.
The way she raised her hand to catch the water droplets falling from the branch at that moment was like a natural touch that touched the soul, because it was a scene that should eventually appear in fate.
"Sometimes, I think Taki-san looks a lot like Takaki Tono.
