The starlight was dazzling.
I wonder what the light that traveled from hundreds of thousands of light-years away would look like now.
When placed in the vast universe, the life, death, and separation of an individual seem as insignificant as a grain of sand.
But when it comes down to an individual, it becomes an unbearable burden.
"Live well and treat those around you well."
Looking at Kirishima Touka, who was crying her eyes out, Aoba couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh.
"If there really comes a day when your problems will be solved, you'll just have to live to see that day."
He smiled easily, "Take care of yourself, and when you're able, take care of the people around you."
"Can I... do it?"
Kirishima Touka countered with a question.
Believe in yourself.
Aoba smiled as she looked at the girl.
Under the pale moonlight, the boy's face appeared even more serene and peaceful.
There was none of the impatience he had just shown.
Clearly...
I was just thinking of hurting him!
A sudden wave of self-reproach washed over Kirishima Touka, leaving her somewhat dazed.
"sorry."
This apology is sincere.
"Mr. Aoba, thank you."
Behind.
Then came Yoshimura Kozen's voice.
The old man seemed to have seen the end from the beginning.
Having experienced countless hardships and near-death experiences in his life, he always wore a faint smile on his lips.
It's like an expectation for life.
"No need, Mr. Yoshimura, you flatter me."
Aoba shook her head. "It's nothing, I'll be going now. The shop can't be short-staffed."
"Yes, I hope you will visit the Antique Cafe anytime."
Yoshimura nodded to Aoba.
Even now, he couldn't quite understand what the boy in front of him thought about ghouls.
Is it disgust?
Or is it closeness?
Or perhaps it doesn't matter...
Although we live in this world, we feel somewhat detached from it.
In Yoshimura Kozen's eyes, Aoba's apparent concern for everyone seemed to be nothing more than a protective facade. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

"Goodbye."
At this moment, Kirishima Touka also let go and wiped away the tears on her face.
In a hazy state.
A mysterious force caused her legs to buckle, and she uncontrollably fell towards Qingye.
"Eh~?!"
The girl looked somewhat surprised.
Her toes felt weak, and her hands immediately instinctively braced themselves against the chest of the person in front of her.
However...
Sometimes, the guidance of fate can catch people off guard.
"Sister Dongxiang~!"
A little girl behind her waved happily at Kirishima Touka from the street.
I heard the voice of a familiar person.
The girl wanted to get up even more, but the lower abdomen that had just been kicked started to hurt, and she felt weak all over.
Seeing this, Aoba also reached out to help him up.
boom!
Their foreheads collided.
This made Kirishima Touka's mind go completely blank, forcefully pressing down on Aoba's head.
The dried bloodstains on her lips were even wiped on the corners of Aoba's mouth.
[Interact with Touka Kirishima...]
[Awakening Attributes at Lightning Speed]
No, this works too!?
A sudden misunderstanding brought their eyes together.
Aoba stared intently at Kirishima Touka.
She dared not meet the other person's gaze, her mind racing for a moment before letting the drumbeats in her chest pound a few times.
He mustered his courage and turned his head away.
They met Aoba's gaze.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have feelings for me?"
"I just made you cry."
"Isoya sighed softly."
Touka Kirishima's eyes dimmed, but then she seemed to understand something, and a blush rose to her cheeks as she stared into Aoba's eyes.
It seemed like a deliberate display of toughness.
"I will work towards that goal."
"Well then, I wish you success."
Aoba stood up and looked at her profile.
"But sometimes you also need to remember not to make the people around you worry."
"I...I know."
She looked at Qingye.
Aoba laughed.
"Although it's not appropriate for me to say this, I trust the prosecutor's office and your brother; he'll be fine."
Touka Kirishima lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks flushed even more.
Soon, they approached the boy.
She gently rested her head on Aoba's shoulder.
"Next time..."
"I will prove my efforts, okay?"

"Hey, is that Touka's boyfriend?"
Under the streetlights in the dark night, the long beams of light stretched the shadows of several people on the roadside.
The girl, with her head down, still felt a little guilty.
I felt that what I said just now seemed a bit hasty, and that the flaw in my attempt to find someone to rely on was too obvious.
He couldn't possibly not have guessed it.
So, out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance in the direction where Aoba had just left.
Her cautious, guilty expression was easily seen through by another girl.
"Hinami, you can't be so rude."
The woman standing next to the girl gave her a warning.
Her gentle face suggests she is the girl's mother.
Looking at Kirishima Touka's messy hair and dusty clothes, he seemed to understand something.
He took out a small pack of wet wipes from his bag and handed it over.
"Miss Touka has reached this age as well."
She smiled as she tidied up Kirishima Touka's messy hair, quickly restoring it to its usual half-bangs style.
"Dongxiang, you can't be so reckless next time."
Yoshimura Kōzen, standing behind her, nodded to Ryoko's wife and Fueguchi Hinami as a greeting.
Only then did he look seriously at Kirishima Touka, who was standing still.
"Manager, what happened?"
