End and Beginning Footsteps 13

"Wild Daisies, Wild Daisies"

I woke up to the darkness and the voice of a merciful man.

I blink and awaken my blurred vision.

"Are you all right, brother?

"Oh, good"

edge of the room wrapped in wood and incense. In front of me is a man who still looks like he's going to cry and distorts his beautiful face.

I was lying in Shimizu's arms with my back supported.

"I'm so glad you woke up"

I can hug you with both arms so you can grab the arm that supports your back.

In the meantime, he told me what happened after I fell.

Since then, there has been a fire in Yoshihara, and everyone has evacuated. that you are going to spend some time in a nearby temple, where you are now. That although my body was in a state of provisional death, it miraculously regained it because it contained less poison.

Nor did my brother Yisa say that the fire was her fault.

Besides, he doesn't seem to know what happened to Eric in the fire, and he was so full of bringing me down here. He also told me that the wind seemed to have caught him, but he was gone at some point.

Speaking of which, I don't see anyone else, so I asked them what was wrong, and they said they were looking for Yoshihara, whose flames haven't gone out yet, and whether there were any people who had missed the escape.

"Brother Isama."

After listening for a while, I move my arm and attach one hand to its cheek.

This guy definitely knew something.

Like the wind, I always looked ahead.

"Not pretty, huh?

Whoever I wished to see again would open his eyes to the words. I put my other hand gently against my opposite cheek. My skin is cold.

It's night now, so maybe it's getting a little cold.

There was no one around.

Only a piece of futon for one person is on my knees and his, nothing else.

"May I ask? Are you..."

"'Cause I didn't think you'd come to the brothel at five."

As I knew my question, they blocked it and lay their hands on it. Oh, still. And close your eyes to the words of your brother Yi.

This man knew it from the beginning.

Ever since I've been here, don't forget what we've been through, in this whorehouse.

"I knew you knew that"

In response to my reply, my brother Yi nodded slightly at his neck.

"Because this is the result I wished for as I please. I don't regret it, but I just got a little greedy, so I'm in this state."

My brother put his hands in the night sky. Like the night sky I saw one day. That was a beautiful view, but it's not there to be seen.

His hand.

"What is this state of affairs... no, why?"

It is so clear that the hands dissolve in the air. I rubbed my eyes and looked closely, but it was the same over and over again. Somehow your brother's hand is shifting the other side.

"From a young age, I don't see myself in the mirror. There is no shadow. Wearing a kimono made that shadow, but I myself am like a ghost. I was born with a wound to my stomach."

It's a lie, swallowing words that I almost got out of my mouth without thinking.

Lie, I can't say it is. His hands are actually clear. I let the night sky clear in its hands, and I'm smiling.

I wonder if I thought the side of it was beautiful even out of place because I'm thin. But I didn't want to look at the hand I was kneading for long, and I gently squeezed that hand and grated it down.

His hand is huge, so I squeeze it with both hands.

"Hey, can I ask you something"

He said with his jaw on his shoulder as he was embraced from behind.

"That time, in the flames...... what did you try to say"

I can see his face buried behind his ear. Keep your hands clenched with both hands, my brother Yi has turned his other arm to my stomach and embraced his body just a little tight.

"Um, when"

I understood in an instant what my brother Yisa was trying to say. I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't want you to be ashamed of me. I also thought it was a word I didn't have to say anymore though, so when asked like this, there is confusion at the same time as embarrassment.

I casually looked at his hand holding it in front of my chest wondering what to do.

But then I doubted my own eyes.

"Brother Shimizu Yisama!? My hands."

"Please. I need answers."

When I tried to look back when I noticed a hand that was completely invisible more than I had seen earlier, my brother Yi hugged me even more so as to hold it in.

It hurts so much that my bones break, and, ah, my voice leaks.

I somehow figured out what would happen to him.

I wish I could laugh off that that was impossible, but I couldn't.

"Give me... don't hate me. All the time,... uh, hey, can I stay with you?"

I remember the words I tried to say to him then, in the back of my brain.

What I really wanted to tell this guy who held me in the flames and stayed with me until the end.

You hold me in your arms like you do now, but that's not just an emotion in a previous life. Properly sprouting to me now too, definite feelings.

"I like you. I like you."

without fading forever.

"I love you, but there's only one."

"I love you, too."

For thousands of years, all the time.

He didn't stop me from turning to words whispered in his ear. Instead of stopping it, loosen the arms that were holding me back earlier and turn my body across.

"Noju"

When I couldn't look directly at his face, though it was pointed at me, around my chest, I was supported under my chin and turned upwards. Seeing me tie my mouth to a single letter, he leaks his voice and laughs. Don't laugh, I tried to say it because I was embarrassed, but my grinning sweet eyes sank into my sight.

"Close your eyes a little."

With that word, I covered my eyes with his hands. My vision darkens.

Even though you don't have to do that, you can close your eyes on your own.

Oh, my God. For a while, too.

On his lips, he touched something damp soft and warm.

It does not leave immediately, the hand in the eye also remains covered in the eye, and the slight exhalation of the opponent is also felt in the mouth.

"For your sake, I wonder if you can spare me or not."

Yeah, after he shrugged, a little wind shook my hair.

At the same time, my hands were gone from my eyes, and the warmth that was enveloping me was gone.

And all I could see with my eyes gently open was a single feather wrapped around a lovely fragrance and the shadow of just one woman leaning down in the hallway where no one else was.
