"Little snow!? Don't you go change your clothes? It's a pity that the weather is so nice today! "

Yui Hihama, who was about to go to the dressing room to change clothes, looked at Yukino next to him suspiciously, and asked with some concern in his tone of concern.

"What's wrong with you under the snow? It feels like something is wrong with you from just now. "

Miura Yumiko on the side also looked at Yukino with a puzzled face, but when her gaze fell on Yukino's tender face that could even pinch water, her heart was super depressed, how did she feel that Yukino's skin was getting better and better recently... It's super envious.

"Nope... I'm going to take a look at it myself! "

Shaking her head, Yukino declined Yuihama's invitation to sunbathe together with Yuiko Miura's puzzled gaze.

Yukino didn't change her clothes too.

The next one walked towards a corner of the beach.

"Yukino...?"

Looking at Yukino, who left without saying a reason, Yui Hihama subconsciously wanted to call out to her, but Miura Yuko on the side pulled her and shook her head.

"Doesn't Yumiko ask? Yukino feels right! "

Looking at Miura, who was holding him, Yubihama Yui said a little anxiously.

"Something is really wrong, so, let's secretly..." lowered her head Miura Yuiko whispered in Yubihama's ear.

"Keep up!"

Instantly understanding what Yumiko meant, Yui Hihama's eyes lit up.

So the two tiptoed to keep up with Yukino.

And in her mind, she kept thinking about the little girl who made her care very much before, but she didn't find these two friends behind her for a while.

Soon, on the shore of a cliff at the end of the beach, Yukino saw the little girl.

It was a little girl with short flaxen hair, short hair that was fluffy and split ends, giving people a somewhat tarnished feeling, faintly carrying a wilted feeling.

The moment I saw the little girl, that feeling came again, seeing the closeness of the same kind but with a trace of fear.

In fact, the feeling of closeness when she sees the little girl can be understood, because the temperament of the little girl is familiar to her, that is the temperament of loneliness, the unique temperament of those who are excluded by others, but compared with some who still put expressions on their faces, the little girl hides well, but who is Yukino?

She is a loner who has been excluded since elementary school, and the sad atmosphere of loneliness in the little girl can be hidden from her, but she cannot be hidden.

But the trace of fear that Yukino felt from the little girl was incomprehensible.

Why would he be afraid of a little girl like her kind? And now he has obtained an almost immortal self after sealing a strand of Tomoe's hair!

With doubts in her heart, Yukino walked up this cliff, faintly walked to the edge of the cliff, showing the appearance of a traveler watching the scenery, walking around the little girl, looking at the sea in the distance, closing her eyes to feel the feeling of the moist sea breeze blowing on her face, and enjoying the music of the waves crashing against the rock wall.

After giving the little girl a moment to get used to herself, Yukino spoke to the little girl.

"My face to the sea, should listen with my ears, listen to her cascading waves, listen to her majesty, listen to her turbulence, do you prefer to see the sea?"

Yukino's sudden question made the little girl who was looking at the sea come back to her senses, and looked at her a little timidly, but when she saw that it was a beautiful and somewhat excessive big sister who silently approached her and asked herself, the timidity in the little girl's eyes dissipated a little, and then she habitually put on an amiable smile on her face, and looked at Yukino like that.

“？"

The little girl's amiable smile is beautiful and cute, but looking at the smile on her face Yukino is very irritated, because Yukino really can't be too familiar with such a mask-like smile, compared to her sister Yono who can switch freely with any mask, the smile on the little girl's face in front of her can deceive others.

But in Yukino's eyes, her mask was still too immature, and she could see that after the little girl habitually smiled, the little girl actually didn't smile at all.

Originally, seeing that the little girl did not speak, Yukino thought that there was something wrong with the way she picked up the conversation, it was too literary, but looking at the little girl's mask-like smile, Yukino denied this idea.

Looking at the little girl, Yukino couldn't imagine what made the little girl know how to put on a mask with a smile at such a young age, knowing that compared to her, she hadn't learned to put on all kinds of masks like her sister until now.

"Little friend, where are your parents?"

Carefully maintain a social distance of more than one meter, this distance is definitely a good social distance in psychology, not far or close, will not make the other party feel uncomfortable.

Yukino crouched down with a gentle smile on her face as she had when she treated kittens, and asked softly in a soft language that filled Yubihama's eyes with jealousy.

“......"

The little girl stared at Xue Nai for a while, looking at the beautiful and gentle big sister in front of her, her gaze seemed to be able to see through herself, but it did not give her an uneasy feeling, and even made her feel a little warm, making her speechless for a long time...

The little girl didn't speak, and neither did Yukino, just kept a soft gaze on her.

After a while, the little girl raised her small hand a little sadly, pointed to her ear, and then gestured something in the air with her hand.

Seeing this, Yukino's gentle expression couldn't help but be stunned, but it quickly disappeared, and at the same time she also understood why the little girl didn't speak from the beginning.

Because she is hard of hearing, she can't hear what she says.

"You wait for me!"

Smiling at the little girl, Yukino tilted her head and tapped her finger rhythmically on the invisible earphone worn on her right ear under the little girl's puzzled gaze.

Then a voice came from the headphones.

"This is the Foundation Investigator Field Support Department, do you need any help with Snow Investigator?"

"I need a sign language interpreter, please help me connect with her!"

Yukino said to the Foundation operator in the headset.

"Okay! Investigator Yukishita, I'll transfer the sign language interpreter for you! "

After the operator finished speaking, the invisible earphones next to Yukino's ears lit up, and then Yukino took out a beautiful black-framed flat glasses that was very scientific and technological and also very delicate from his arms and put it on, where others could not see, the upper body of a girl flashed on the glasses, she was the sign language interpreter that the operator had just found for Yukino.

"Hey! Snow Investigator is happy to serve you! Is there anything I need to do? "

"Please help me translate the sign language of this little girl in front of me, thank you!" Yukino politely pleased.

"No problem at all, Investigator Under the Snow!" The woman on the glasses said with a light smile.

In this way, the little girl looked at the strange movements of the beautiful big sister in front of her, thinking that the other party was the same as others, just wanted to communicate with her on a whim, and then because she had hearing impairment, and at the same time had difficulty making sounds because of long-term hearing impairment, and could only communicate with others through sign language and notes, she would soon lose interest in communicating with her.

Suddenly, she found that the big sister in front of her was wearing which beautiful black-framed glasses and became more intellectually beautiful while actually began to communicate with her in sign language, although the movements of the big sister in front of her looked a little rusty, and there was a strange feeling of drawing a tiger like a cat, but this is indeed sign language.

"Excuse me, what's your name!"

Looking at the big sister in front of her and asked in sign language, the little girl immediately replied in sign language.

"My name is Nishinomiya Glass! Big sister, what about you? "

"Yukinoshita Yukino, where are your parents?"

"I only have my mother, and she went to buy drinks..."

"This way! Why don't you go with her, it's dangerous to stay here alone!? "

Yukino asked curiously, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little pity for the mother, and complained, a single mother with a little girl should be very bitter, but it is also very dangerous to let the little girl run around alone, and some dereliction of responsibility.

While losing her hearing impairment, the little girl's vision seems to be strengthened, and it has almost become her instinct to observe words and colors like all loners.

As if sensing Yukino's complaint about his mother's failure to take responsibility, Nishinomiya whistle quickly waved his hand and said in sign language

"No, I sneaked here myself."

"Ran over by yourself? Why? Yukino asked with some surprise.

"Nothing, just want to see the sea here."

Gesturing with his hand to say this, Yukino saw that Nishinomiya's eyes were a little gloomy, and after speaking, Nishinomiya Whistle turned his head to look at it, and his expression seemed to be a little out of his mind.

Even when looking at the sea, which god's eyes still have a trace of intention?

Conation!?

At this time, Yukino realized that the place where the little girl named Nishinomiya Glass was standing was so close to the cliff, as long as she took a few steps forward, she would directly fall off the cliff and into the rough sea.

"Why do you want to see the sea here?"

While asking, Yukino quietly approached the little girl a few steps without stimulating the other party.

Shaking her head, the little girl still habitually put an amiable smile on her face, but did not answer.

Seeing this, the uneasiness in Xue Nai's heart became stronger and stronger, and a word appeared in her mind that made her feel a little afraid from her heart... Depression.

Unlike her who can be strong and those who exclude her, most excluded children will have problems in their hearts, and depression is definitely the most terrifying.

"Help me investigate Nishinomiya Glass!"

The hand that gestured to the sign language froze, and Yukino said to the Foundation personnel in a somewhat dry tone.

The little girl in front of her made her care very much, but if the other party really suffered from depression, she needed to know why she was suffering from depression!

And soon, on the glasses, Nishinomiya's information appeared in front of her eyes.

The information also includes some images of Nishinomiya Glass at school.

After reading this information, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly had a deep understanding of Nishinomiya's experience.

At the same time, a nameless anger burned in her heart.

The young girl named Glass, who was born with a disease, was only discovered to have hearing impairment at the age of three, her father abandoned her, and her mother chose to raise her, making her a single-parent family.

In the face of life's hardships, she did not choose to give up, she learned sign language in order to be able to communicate with others, and also hoped to be able to talk to others through her notebook.

But it's still too difficult! Because under her mother's policy, she is now in an ordinary elementary school, and the children in their class do not understand what empathy is, and the attitude of those bastards to the glass with hearing impairment is to bully her.

And after experiencing all kinds of communication difficulties and failures and even bullying, in order to avoid friction with others, Nishinomiya Glass learned the habit of putting an amiable smile on her face, but even those guys did not let her go.

One guy even took pleasure in pulling out her hearing aids and even threw away her precious notebook that she wanted to communicate with others...

Originally faced with these things, Nishinomiya Glass still maintained a cheerful and optimistic attitude, looking forward to being friends with everyone one day, because she didn't want to increase her mother's burden anymore, and she didn't want her mother to worry about her, she put up with everything, liked ivy flowers, and always carried an periwinkle on her body, reminding herself to laugh and not let her mother worry!

But...... This situation changed a few days ago, Nishinomiya Glass, who maintained a smile attitude towards everything, changed, and the smile on her face gradually couldn't hang up... The originally bright light in his eyes also seemed to be polluted by something.

Becoming more and more silent, it is not even possible to pretend that everything is fine in front of the mother ...

So much so that she found that her daughter seemed to be in a bad mood, asked her if she said anything, she could only take Nishinomiya Glass to the beach, and then wait for next week to go to school but ask the teacher about the glass.

At the same time, in anger, Yukino also discovered a strange thing, that is, those bastards who like to bully Nishinomiya Glass the most seem to have faint changes like Nishinomiya Glass, but their changes are much more obvious than Nishinomiya Glass.

They seem to have a strong delusion, thinking that everyone around them hates them, these guys who seem to have no empathy, seem to think that everyone hates them, because they like to bully, because they hate...

Seeing this, staring at the video picture on her glasses, Yukino, who was originally angry because of those bastards bullying Nishinomiya Glass, her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Are you all right?"

Looking at Nishinomiya Glass, who suddenly frowned in front of him, Nishinomiya Glass couldn't help but ask in sign language worriedly.

Covering her head with some headaches, inexplicably Yukino had a memory in her mind that seemed to come from a dream, and understood why they and Nishinomiya Glass became like this.

Because of a virus-like microorganism!

A microorganism that makes Yukino's soul tremble a little from fear.

It was an unknown, microbial body less than a micrometer in length measured by light microscopy, a parasite-like virion.

They are small enough to penetrate the blood vessels of the brain, just like they are aimed at humans, and only infect the human body.

And they spread by laying eggs in the sweat and tears of infected people, and this parasite is easily transmitted in physical contact.

Humans infected with this parasite will show symptoms similar to depression.

And over time, it will transition from mild, moderate, high, severe, and eventually to the terminal infection stage.

During the end-infection stage, 55% to 72% of patients attempt suicide at this stage, even begging others to kill them.

In a trance, where the dream gradually became clear and terrifying, Xue Nai seemed to see himself die under this parasitic creature, died in a warm embrace, and the person holding him was - Mo Yu!

"Are you all right!?"

Nishinomiya Glass gestured in front of Yukino again, and finally woke Yukino from her intermittent trance dream, looking at the kind and cute girl in front of her.

Yukino smiled gently, which was as dazzling as the beautiful smile after the melting of the iceberg was like a colorful aurora, and the chaos that bullied the glass was parasitized by this parasite, but the glass in front of him was different.

Yukino shook her head at Glass's worried gaze, and in Glass's puzzled gaze, Yukino hugged her directly while saying to her words she couldn't hear.

"Rest assured, the Foundation will help you, whether it's this parasite, or your hearing disease! Just rest assured! "

This parasite that can cause depression is very scary, and hugging can relieve the symptoms of this depression, but also carry the risk of serious infection.

But Yukino still chose to hold the heart-wrenching glass in front of him.

And although I can't hear what the big sister in front of me is saying in her ear, but the glass feels her kindness, and heartache, the habitual smile on her face disintegrates, with a trace of doubt, a trace of confusion, the glass did not struggle, just felt that the embrace of the big sister in front of her was very warm and fragrant...

Looking down at the glass with a confused face, Yukino had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but think when she looked at the glass she was embracing... In the dream, did Mo Yu also hold himself like this?

Isn't he afraid of being infected too?

While thinking about these questions, Yukino also felt some itching sensations, looking down at the place where her skin touched the glass skin, Yukino understood that this feeling was which parasite was invading her body through the glass diagram.

Forcibly suppressing the fear of this parasite because of the dream memory, because of the incomparably depressed and desperate memory, Yukino's eyes became slightly playful.

This parasite is terrifying, yes, but it depends on who you compare with! If they want to invade themselves with a certain special character of Tomoe, aren't they looking for death!

Even with his eyes closed, Yukino could already feel that the cells that had acquired some of Tomoe's characteristics were frantically devouring these parasitic beings, and the fear of this guy in his heart because of the influence of dreams was gradually disappearing!

But it's a pity that he can't use his own cells to help the glass destroy the parasites on his body, and if he wants to cure the glass, he still goes to Mo Yu.

Thinking of Mo Yu... Recalling the warm embrace in the dream, the smile on Yukino's face couldn't help but become more gentle.

And secretly looking at Yukino holding the glass on the side, Yuki Hihama and Yumiko Miura looked at each other suspiciously, and the two did not understand what happened between Yukishita and the glass.

"Whew... Such a gentle smile, Xiaoxue has never smiled at me like that! Yubihama Yui said with a look of envy.

"This guy under the snow, it's poisonous, she can actually smile so good-looking, if she can laugh like this at school, the hostility of the girls in the school towards her will definitely double!"

Miura Yuko also said enviously, but unlike Yubihama Yui, she envied Yukina's getting better and better appearance, and Na's more and more attractive charm.
