"Yo-kun, what's going on at this hour?

"At this hour, huh? Surely it would be a normal time to go to school."

Real time, about 11: 00?

It's not usually time for students to log in, is it?

Unless it's a day off.

"I thought I'd meet you and get it right, with the snow noise."

"... with me, is it?

Snow sounds...... Yuki looks strange.

Who else am I to talk to but her?

"Otherwise, there's no point in waiting here, is there?

"... well, right? This is our workshop."

Yuki snaps and nags naturally.

The gaze looks under his feet and he doesn't look up.

"... for now, snow sounds. Is your body doing better?

"I'm fine. Thanks to Yo-kun's cover, I didn't originally get hurt.... I just wonder if you wake up often in the middle of the night?

I don't know the complexion of the snow noise because it is in the game.

However, the words are somewhat unwell.

"... well. So, is it okay if I'm logged in now?

"Um, I guess I'm okay now. Because I only try to log in when I'm feeling better."

I only log in when I'm feeling better, that's what I'm saying but I don't really seem to be feeling well.

There's something I can't do, I don't feel that way.

"... are you sure you're okay? You're not pushing me?

"... sometimes it's a little hard, but I'm fine now. Besides, it's harder to stay here."

The snow noise stays nagging and returns the answer.

"Yo-kun, are you okay with me logging in from this hour? What about school?"

"I took the day off. Anyway, I was planning on going to rehab this afternoon, so it's not a big deal"

"... no, Yo-kyun. The rest of the day."

"In fact, I can't say I'm in good health. It's not even a day off."

Always walking around with crutches.

I wouldn't have a problem resting for a day or so ill.

"... So, Yuk. What the hell did you want to talk about?

A snow noise raises his face and asks.

... what did you want to talk about?

"... for now, I wanted to see where the snow sounds safe, I guess. Because I only listened via Lu Dou and Yaohua."

"Then I'm doing something about it.... I still can't go to school because I can't say it's stable."

"You don't have to worry about school. You'd better slow down until it gets some better."

"... yeah, you are"

... Don't blow everything up about what you wanted to talk about when you turned around and faced it like this.

In the meantime, I'm just so happy to be able to make sure the snow sounds okay.

"So, this is all the errands?

"... no, there's something more important."

"Important?

"... it's about Akiho"

"... your sister"

After all, as I was hearing, the snow sounds remind me of Akiho.

... From here on out, how should we cut it out?

"How far did you remember the snow noise?

"... not really, I guess. Your sister got stabbed in the back of a yo-kun, and that's all I can remember."

"Right. Did you remember that?"

More so, yeah.

It would be the toughest memory.

Snow sounds continue to whisper again.

"But you refreshed me a lot with what I could remember. You know, Yukun was so sweet, and Lu Dou sometimes showed you something to hide."

"... nothing, I wasn't being nice because of Akiho."

"Really? Because my standing position is where Autumn Ho was."

... the snow noise pokes me where it hurts.

When Akiho was there, it was Akiho next to me.

Akiho was there to keep an eye on me.

... because I used to move around more actively than Lu Dou.

"But Autumn Ho's sister is gone. I can't remember that. Just remember that there was someone by Yukun's side. Soon, I was in that position."

"... I think so."

Snow sounds have been around me since some time after the Akiho incident.

At first, it was thought to be from the fear of the incident, but after a while, it turned out that the snow sounds were starting to think things around me.

That's a situation where you're totally dependent on me, and everyone thought you weren't too good at the time.

But when I tried to force myself to pull off the snow noise, that was the only thing that was making me emotionally unstable, so while I tolerated being around, I was stabilizing my symptoms with counseling, etc.

... Speaking of which, while I was busy with the Unimited World beta test last winter, the doctor told me that there was a bit of instability.

"... in the end, you must be me. I want to be by Yukun's side, but that's Akiho's replacement, not my own desire. But being alone makes me so anxious. I don't know what to do."

"Snow sounds..."

"I'm sorry, Yu-kun. I don't know what to do."

Finally, the snow sounds logged out.

It's easy for me to log out and follow the rest too, but it's highly unlikely I'll see snow noises over there.

Well, what's the matter......

"... Oh, Twa, won't you log out?

"... old man? Why are you here?

When I thought the workshop door was open, the old man came.

"Hey, you logged in to make accessories because you had time. Then I ran into this scene."

"... were you listening? That's not a very good hobby, is it?

"I didn't mean to.... So, Twa, are you glad you didn't go after her?

"Chasing him doesn't make it possible to see him over there. I was just worried about what to do."

In fact, there's nothing else I can do.

If we could meet and talk, we could handle it, that's what I thought and waited for, but it wasn't that simple.

As I was on my way, my old man called me.

"You can't help talking about it here. Why don't we go to the bickering room?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The old man invited me to come to the bickering room, but naturally, there's nobody else.

Because "libraries" are for the clan of student subjects, it's not the first time that people are there during weekdays.

The only exception is because this old man......

"In the meantime, how about some tea? Well, it's what Yuki made me."

"... I'll have it. So, what the hell are you talking about?

"Hey, I'm blind that young kids are young. I thought I'd help you out a little bit."

Youth, huh?

Maybe that's true.

"Help, huh? What the hell are you doing to help me?

"Well, I wonder if that's easy advice. But it may be difficult to do so easily."

"It's not a good hobby to get a little carried away in someone else's relationship, is it?

"Still, you want to pinch my mouth. You are now."

Sip the tea, the old man keeps talking.

"In the first place, are you both shying away from it now? From my uncle's point of view, I think you look like a very good couple."

"... no way. If that's all it was, how easy it was."

"Really? You two are the only ones who think that, and from around you, it just looks like a simple mishanging of a button, right?

Different button hanging, hey.

It doesn't seem that easy.

"... Uncle doesn't know the details. It's just, at least, what you guys need right now is to crack your bellies and talk, right?

"... how easy it would be if that were possible"

"Really? After all, I wonder what you want to do? I think it's important to talk face-to-face no matter how much technology advances and how close reality and unreality approach."

Talk face to face, how easy it would be if that were possible.

"When you're in trouble, I think it's best to take action for now.... and you don't seem to want to be alone with me."

"... behavior. Okay, I get it. I'll see what I can do."

If that changes anything, it'll be profitable.

We need to move, and we'll be together to make no difference.

... This may be the result of your actions.

"... the important thing is to convey it clearly in your words. Like."

"Oh, thank you, old man"

"No, no. My uncle remembered when I was young, too. I've never been in a big relationship like you."

Big love.

Right, I guess so.

"... Well, it's time for my uncle to go. Good luck, Mr. Twa."

"Oh, see you later."

Drop off the old man and I'll take action, too.

... First, I have to go to rehab.
