Chapter 72

【What you didn't expect was that before you acted, Yuko Ibuki pounced on you.She knocks you out of the truck's path, and the green, iron beast sprints past your feet and crashes against the library wall. 】

[The dust raised by the truck fell, and the surrounding pedestrians flocked to both sides, some went to see the driver of the truck, and some surrounded you and Xizi Ibuki. 】

【You pull up Xizi Ibuki, thank the passers-by for their concern, carefully inspect the girl's body, and make sure that she only has scratched the skin on her right elbow. 】

[On the passenger seat of the truck, a young man got down in a panic, and joined forces with several pedestrians to lift the middle-aged driver from the driver's seat.The young man apologizes to you. It was his father who was driving. He suddenly suffered from chest pains and failed to control the speed and direction of the car.He asked you to go to the hospital for an examination together. You looked at Yuko Ibuki, and the girl shook her head. 】

【You rejected the young man's proposal, he took out his wallet, gave you all the money in the wallet, and left a business card. 】

[You accepted the money and business card. 】

【While you were talking to the young man, Ibuki Xiko had already taken a step forward, she raised her right arm, and crossed the road calmly, keeping the blood from her wrist from wiping her clothes. 】

[The wound on her arm and the dusty clothes all reveal her distress, but this distress has turned into a series of elegant embellishments in her indifferent expression and behavior, just like the western pattern on the belt of a gorgeous kimono, Not only does it not destroy the elegance of the kimono, but it also reveals a kind of inclusiveness. 】

【You caught up with her, dragged her to a nearby community hospital, and paid the consultation fee with the compensation money given by the young man. 】

[The community doctor is a middle-aged woman, and you asked her to check Ibuki Yuko's body to make sure that the girl did not suffer any internal injuries. 】

[Out of the clinic, you take the subway back.On the way, you were all very quiet, Ibuki Xiko didn't like to talk, and you were busy making plans in your mind. 】

[We have arrived at Tsukimiri Station, you and Yuko Ibuki walked out of the subway entrance, walked across the bank with cherry blossom trees, and headed to the apartment. 】

Memory scenes appear.

Walking on the sidewalk paved with dark red stone bricks, you can clearly see the cherry blossom trees not far to the left. In the season when the cherry blossoms are not in bloom, the cherry blossom trees are like ordinary trees, covered with green leaves. Through the gaps in the branches and leaves, you can see See rivers reflecting sunlight.

Ibuki Yuko walked in front of Minami Yuki.

A square band-aid was pasted on the girl's elbow. The white band-aid added to her sickness and anger, and her petite body made her even more pitiful.

"Why save me?" Nan Youxi walked beside the girl.

"If you get hit, you will die." Ibuki Xiko's answer was very simple.

It is very strange and too strange to say this sentence from the mouth of a world-weary person like her.It's like talking about vegetarianism from the mouth of a lion and abstinence from the mouth of a stallion.

"It's no big deal to die, right? Just like it's no big deal to be alive." Nan Yuxi said this deliberately, curious about Ibuki Xiko's answer.

The girl was silent for a long time, Nan Youxi followed her across the road, into the alley, and into the apartment building.

"I don't know." Ibuki Yuko replied.

The two walked through the corridor of the apartment building, and the shrubs in the courtyard outside the corridor were lush.

"Hey, sister should have seen it, right? I stayed where I was on purpose." Nan Youxi continued to chase, and he had a plan.

"Ah."

"Then, sister, have you made up your mind?"

Press the button for the elevator.Ibuki Xiko turned her head, looked at Nan Yuxi's face, and waited for his additional explanation.

Nan Youxi asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Senior thinks, from a moral point of view, why does a mother have the obligation to raise a child?"

"...Because she gave birth to the child."

"This concept is surprisingly simple. Yes, the mother gives life to the child. The child is not in the world, but the mother arbitrarily pulled him in from the world, so the mother has the obligation to take care of the child."

"Ah."

"Just now, if senior sister hadn't intervened, I would have been out of the human world and already dead. In other words, senior sister arbitrarily pulled me back from the human world and gave me life. Then, the current relationship between me and senior sister What is the relationship?"

"...mother and son?"

"That's right, so is senior sister ready to take responsibility for me?"

"Doctors will also give life to patients." Ibuki Yuko tried to refute Nan Yuxi's logic.

"However, the patient returned to the human world voluntarily. The doctor did not save him in an 'arbitrary' way, but the senior sister saved me in an 'arbitrary' manner."

Yuko Ibuki thought about it for a while, and couldn't find a point to refute. If it was Nao Asano, she could only accept it timidly at this time, but the girl was different. She was just world-weary, not socially phobic.

"I refuse." She said directly.

Arrived on the 6th floor, the hoarse sound echoed in the elevator car when the door opened.

"It's invalid to refuse, I'll leave it to you in the future, mother Xizi." Nan Youxi stepped out of the door.

[What made Yuko Ibuki, who had the will to die, save you?You don't know, but you know that Yuko Ibuki can't turn a blind eye to your death, so what you have to do next is clear. 】

[You decided to rely on Xizi Ibuki. There is a joke saying that what human beings love most is to force good people into prostitution and persuade prostitutes to be good. You think it is the same contrast to make Xizi Ibuki from a rescuer to a savior. 】

[When you get home, you think about Yuko Ibuki, and start thinking about your plan to "escape from this world". 】

[Upstairs above you, Xizi Ibuki is sitting on the floor, thinking about you too. 】

[When the truck came, fear and joy attacked her together. Joy is the joy of clearing the game, and fear is the fear of leaving the world. 】

【Death or life, which path is more correct?She didn't know, so she chose not to choose, she didn't choose death by staying where she was, she ignored the truck, she waited for the red light to turn green, so she could walk across. 】

[In her world, the truck does not exist, the horns that remind her around do not exist, and there is only herself waiting for the red light. 】

【How did she notice your figure?She doesn't know it herself, she sees the truck coming towards you, and the faint anxiety in her heart becomes all she feels, so she jumps at you. 】

[Reflection is the ability that Xizi Yibuki has long lost. She buried this memory with just such a shallow thought.Her world is harsh winter, looking far and wide, there is a snow scene all around and above and below, everything is buried in the snow and cannot infect her body. 】

[Two days later, Xizi Ibuki went shopping at a convenience store, and she saw you by the river. 】

【You are sitting on the embankment with your legs hanging on the reflection of the blue sky on the river, just leaning forward a little bit, or a sudden strong wind can push you into that blue sky. 】

【The girl walks to you and tugs on your sleeve. 】
