~[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky~
...Why is Hadaka Shitsuji getting a fandisk? Sigh
[The events of those days, I remember well even now]
[...Aa. I do as well]
[I was fun, wasn'it. There was also a lot of painful things, however, the time when Kaneko-san and co where here feels like it was the most enjoyable]
[...Aa]
Kaname would slightly wipe his eyelids, Mitsunobu lowered his gaze to the passed on envelope. Gathering strength in the gripped hand, afterwards, he raised his gaze.
[Well then, I'm off]
Inside the sunlight coming in from the window that was opened wide, Kaname straightens his back.
[...I see. Be well. If possible I'd like to see you off, but since I might not be able to make it]
[Indeed. Kaneko-san too, be well. I pray for great happiness. ...from the bottom of my heart]
I bid farewell to Kaname who's heading for the entryway. Just before reaching there, he turned around.
[Aa, that's right]
[What's the matter? Forgot something?]
[No. ...To Tsuchida-san too, (Please pass on my) earnest gratitude]
As I'd return to my room, Norizane who was supposed have been waiting in the next room was standing by the window. The white uniform repels the light.
[Tsuchida, what do you think? Do you think Madchen noticed that you where there? Or maybe, he noticed that you made the necessary preparations in secret?]
[Who knows?]
Lining up, I stand by the window. Though Kaname's figure being hidden high fence isn't visible, but where would he be passing by right now I wonder?
He told be he already bid farwell to his relatives and the people that where important to him. And that he finished sorting out the stuff that belonged to him.
It's unknown even if the ship will really reach Great Britain. If they aren't let into the harbor, it'll end up turning around. From this point onwards, I can do nothing but pray.
[Are you okay with not bidding farewell?]
[Aa]
Norizane, while still focusing his gaze outside the window, doesn't move even a little.
[Why?]
[I don't feel the need]
['Will set fire to an old flame again'?]
[Are you, stupid?]
Finally, he turned this way. He really is making an exasperated face.
[But even so, didn't you notice well that Madchen was troubled? Did you stalk him/follow him around or something?]
[Wrong. How insulting...]
[Haha, I was joking]
Mizukawa Hougetsu--No, by ''Mizukawa Shigeru's'' situation, it wouldn't be strange even if he was suspected of being a spy.It's possible that some gossip had went around from the Tokkou to the army.
Unusual (for him), Norizane bowed his head with an admirable look.
[...I caused trouble for you]
[Don't be mistaken. Madchen is a friend of mine as well. Doing at least that much, isn't much labour]
[I see]
Norizane raise his hand. The hair was combed up lightly. The brass button on the chest reflecting the light, the afterimage would impring behind my eyelids,
[We're seeing each other after a long time]
[...Indeed]
Just from my hairline being caressed, a shiver runs through my whole body, from the sensation..
I accepted the lips that approached.
After a long kiss, I spill at the moment we seperate.
[Using me as the intermediary, a kiss with Madchen huh?]
[Moron]
[Don't keep calling me stupid. --Aa, I see, it's intended as a reward?]
[I really will get angry]
[...I was joking]
This time I was the one who connected our lips. As if to escape from the brass buttons radiance I'd close my eyes, entangling the tongues meet. Embracing his back, in a position as if taken aback I deeply yearned..
Tilting my head, not letting go till the sigh would grow dishevelled, I hold him as if scratching his back.
The face of Kaname who declared that he was prepared for it, appeared inside my head.
--By not carrying that much, would it seem possible to spend one's lifetime? Would being together be allowed?
...No, what effeminate things am I thinking.
'Since it's us, that we would do as much as we can', on that day of youth, isn't it the path I decided on because of thinking that?
Mitsunobu would thinly open his eyelids, and retreats his tongue.
He slowly loosened, the hands he had circled around the wide back.
[...Kaneko?]
[I must leave this place]
I fix the loosened necktie.
--I must hurry, I'll be late for the appoitment with Hinako.
Without holding enough resolve to proceed with the wedding, I do think that I don't have enough resolution if I do say so myself, but, right now at this moment, it's impossible to sever the connection with Hinako's household.
Norizane, for whatever he is thinking, doesn't change his expression. ...Won't change his face expression, even a little.
The before was nice.All day long, I could watch this man. I could think that I knew everything, that this man is thinking.
[Kaneko?]
Did he think it strange, Norizane's hand covers my cheek.
[What's the matter?]
[It's nothing]
[It's not really a face that says 'nothing']
[Really--]
Squirming, at the time I was trying to seperate from those hands, the door resounded.
[--Teruaki]
It was the sound of Teruaki knocking by the open door.
Taking a step backwards in a hurry, I earn distance from Norizane. Only my voice feigned calm.
[Knock, before you open it]
[My apologies. I did do it countless times but, since it seemed you just didn't notice...]
Teruaki, responds with an attitude appearing to be clueless till the end, as a result the question of did he really see us or not isn't clear.
[What do you want?]
[A call from father. You're spending time today with Hinako, right? I'd think it would be pressing for the wedding, perhaps?
[...Got it]
Leaving behind Norizane, I leave the room. Teruaki followed after me, immediately. After walking the corridor at a quick pace, Teruaki speeks in a voice that keeps it's cool.
[I see. I've grasped the reason nii-san keeps delaying the wediing with Hinako-san]
「…………」
[Nii-san, are you not being tactfully used?]
[Teruaki!]
As I'd turn around, Teruaki, without being perturbed even a bit, was looking in this direction.
[...Hold your tongue!]
Spitting that out and facing forward, I quicken the exchanging footsteps.
The attack towards Pearl Harbour would be carried out. When Brittain-America formed an alliance, was one year furthermore after that. It was the rise of the curtain for the all-out war.
