Takiichi-chan...

No matter what, I will never give up, even if I choose to hide certain things now.

Even though I don't have the courage to say certain words now, I will definitely be the one who protects you until the end.

"By the way, do you know where Grandpa Watanabe is?"

Unaware that Nako's eyes were flashing with a variety of emotions like a rainbow, Hitomi looked at the passing people around her.

"There are a lot of gifts outside that I didn't bring in. Zhuli-chan and Saying-chan sent me money and asked me to buy a gift for them."

"You should still be in the kitchen, uncle isn't outside?" Nako suddenly woke up.

"My father had a wine shop that he couldn't turn down, so after sending me here, he drove back directly. It doesn't matter if I just stay here tonight and don't go back."

"Huh? Aren't Hitomi-chan's family worried?"

"It's okay, my family has met Taki-san before, and they very much approve of Taki-san's character.

Let’s not talk about this for now, I’m going to find Grandpa Watanabe first, do you want to come with me?”

Hitomi said, bypassing Nako's body and entering the flower garden.

"I have other things to do..."

Watching her figure disappear with his eyes, Nako's lowered fists gradually clenched, and for the first time, a sinister eagle appeared on this face that he had never seen before.

"Sure enough, after Sakura left and Takiichi-chan returned to being single, people who used to be outside that circle started to get ready to help Zhuri, Saying and Miu buy gifts and send them to them...

.”

At this moment, Nako felt as if he had been enlightened and consciously realized that he could not pretend to know nothing, and let the things Hitomi said become true.

No matter how intimate they are on the surface, they are like best friends who talk about everything, but when it comes to private topics, everyone will choose to hide it appropriately.

Just like not long ago, the two chose to hide their conversations with Hitomi.

I never thought that if the other party expired, he would feel physically uncomfortable.

Her footsteps echoed throughout the maze of flower fields. Although she had not been here many times, Hitomi's reaction to the structure here was very different from that of a first-time visitor.

Will she get lost? Can't get out of there? In the impression, she seems to have been here once? Is this the first time?

It seems that for the memories of certain periods in the past, Nako felt that the memory card in his brain automatically deleted some "irrelevant" parts.

Perhaps Hitomi had studied it in private, like when she recorded Takiichi's preferences and habits in her diary.

Nako thought of other things.

If Sakura is not sleeping at this time, what are you waiting for? Takiichi will choose to send her a text message after the dinner... No, will he choose to write her a letter?

Or upload some metaphorical words on social networking sites. In this way, they communicate with each other through years of tacit understanding.

These things made Nako feel irritable. As time went by, the feeling of being punished became stronger and stronger.

The situation of not being allowed to stay here looks very similar to the situation of being punished and sent to prison.

This scene made Nako's heart swell endlessly.

Because I feel guilty, I always try to use various methods to suppress the poison spreading in my heart.

Falling into unrequited love and beginning to be hostile to everyone around him who comes into contact with him. According to books, this is the most dangerous stage. It begins to make people blind, abandon reason, and become increasingly crazy.

In short, Hitomi is a bad person and she seems to have made a big mistake, so does she need to be stopped?

Before Sakura left, she was like a dark shadow lurking around, and when Sakura's presence gradually disappeared, she gradually took shape.

This is Nako's understanding. She doesn't seem like a good person because she is very scheming.

But... no matter when Hitomi is like this, people around her won't hate her as much as she does, right? Instead, they will feel pleased and loved because of her 'carefulness'.

By the way, if this matter is told to Sakura, Nako thinks that she is a person with contradictory personality at the moment, and does not want Sakura to be involved with Takiichi anymore, but... the appearance of Hitomi makes her quietly try to test Sakura's...

The idea is that at least she is Sakura's best friend on the surface.

Nako just temporarily forgot her impulse, she had to tell the other person about it.

Hitomi cannot be allowed to quickly squeeze out all the nostalgia that Sakura has in Takiichi's heart, and Sakura cannot be allowed to notice such an "abnormal" self.

Because if she knew that she was deliberately concealing it, Sakura would definitely despise her, and might even tell Takiichi all of this.

Therefore, Nako chose to confess everything about Hitomi here to Sakura, creating the illusion of "I don't know what to do."

She chose to enter the backyard gently along the cobblestones on the ground. In order to make no noise, Nako chose to take off the wooden shoes under her feet, leaving her white lotus feet bare. The coldness on the ground made her secretly grin.

It's almost midnight now.

In order not to let the servants notice, Nako walked quietly through the corridor leading to the backyard and rushed to the tea room there.

It was very cold in the backyard, and when she put on her wooden shoes again, she deeply felt that her toes were beginning to become stiff.

Although it is far away from the sea level, you can feel the cold from outside the area up close.

Taking out his cell phone, Nako kept searching for Sakura's phone number in the address book.

Although you can directly send a message using Line, but...because it is impossible to determine whether Sakura is asleep at this time.

As her fingertips slid down the bright screen, Nako forgot that she could directly enter her name to search for Sakura's phone number. The scrolling pages revealed her nervousness at the moment.

After finding Sakura's phone number, Nako chose to hide her body in the teahouse located in a quiet corner of the backyard.

There are no servants here at night, and you can faintly hear the patter of wooden shoes passing by outside the wooden door.

The top of her head seemed to be covered by many cobblestone paths, and she felt as if she was about to be crushed.

Nako held the mobile phone in his hand and moved to the center of the courtyard outside the tea room until he pressed the dial button.

Although she was dialing on her mobile phone, she kept replenishing herself with courage.

The plants and high walls in the courtyard blocked her from the cold midnight wind, but Nako didn't feel the slightest warmth.

The white breath exhaled from the mouth mixed into the air and immediately disappeared without a trace.

The mountains are like winter. I heard this sentence a long time ago, and I have a deep understanding of it tonight.

The beeping waiting sound of the phone could be heard in my ears, and the faint sound of wooden shoes tapping from a wall away and the busy pace of the servants occasionally completely covered up this sound.

Just then, the call was connected.

"Moxi Moxi, Sakura, it's me..."

But... Nako heard that the person who answered the phone was Sakura's mother, and she spoke very fast.

Moreover, the language is mixed with many dialects from the Kagoshima area.

She wasn't sure if it was Kagoshima's dialect. Anyway, it was a bit...difficult to distinguish and understand.

"Kura-chan, Nako's phone number..."

After a conversation, Sakura's mother shouted into the distance on the phone, as if the owner of the phone was not around.

Nako tilted her head as usual, and the gap between waiting on the phone made her anxious for no reason.

"Moxi Moxi, Nako-chan...I was just taking a shower."
