And student Oreki chose to pack.
The direction he is heading towards is school.
What he is looking for is Yukino Takari.
The progress of the mission is stuck at 99%. You need to confirm that the other party is still alive, then you can complete the mission.
However, Mitsuha is not very familiar with her, and she is still working as a teacher. Although it is vacation time, she may still be in school.
And grandma said Yotsuba is in school.
Now you can still [encounter] Yotsuba when you go to school.
Classmate Oreki would like to see what the sensible Yotsuba has become now.
He found it very interesting.
This is the feeling of an old father who watched Loli grow up.
It's just a bit regretful, because Loli is so cute, why do she have to grow up?
Just like his Classmate Sakayanagi, it was so cute when it was a child. Although it is still cute now, it would be even cuter if its body shape could be fixed.
So are there any superpowers or rewards that can allow people to maintain the status quo and stop growing?
Oreki But I remember that Classmate Sakayanagi in Precognitive Dream has not changed much from now, and he can still play pretend games with his daughter.
"Boom--"
Oreki was thinking wildly while walking forward, but classmate Oreki suddenly stopped.
There is a park on the way to school.
That's where he first saw Yukino.
Although it seems a bit impossible, I have a strange feeling that I might still be able to meet her here.
Oreki classmate turned around and walked into the park.
Stepping on the cobblestone-reinforced path, I walked forward in a winding way.
He quickly arrived at the pavilion where he and Yukino Takari took shelter from the rain.
"The shutter was pressed too fast."
"Don't make such a strange expression!"
There were only two couples taking photos.
Oreki classmate did not bother them.
It seems there isn't.
He turned around to leave, but he found a woman walking towards him, holding a bag in one hand and looking at [Tagore's Poetry Collection] in the other hand.
This woman is quite beautiful.
Should I say that she has a delicate face, or that she has a beautiful face.
She wears light makeup, but this makeup still makes her look older and more ordinary.
But even so, she is still a beautiful woman.
The facial features are beautiful and exquisite.
Slender shoulders.
Because he was holding the book, a section of his white wrist was exposed, which made people couldn't help but take a few more glances.
This is a very beautiful woman.
"Stop shooting!"
At this time, the two lovers suddenly quarreled.
"No more photos!"
"You just want to take pictures of me and then deliberately take pictures of others!" The woman was very angry.
Then classmate Oreki and the gorgeous woman looked over.
The face of the boy in the couple turned red immediately.
I took my girlfriend and left here quickly.
It seemed that the couple had left. The beautiful woman came to the pavilion carrying a bag.
Oreki classmate also arrived at the pavilion.
He opened the drawing board.
Now I am full of interest in painting.
"Tagore's Poetry Collection..."
"Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves."
"The dust is insulted and repays with her flowers."
"That's great--"
The beautiful woman said softly.
But this is more like her mumbling.
She herself was attracted and intoxicated by the world of poetry.
He is a person living in his own world.
Student Oreki opened the drawing board.
The woman looked over.
At this time, a roaring sound suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then it started to rain rapidly.
"There is faint thunder... The sky is hazy, but I hope the wind and rain will come. I can keep you here."
The woman read a poem.
This is a very favorite poem.
But she only read half of it.
Oreki classmate glanced at her.
Completed.
"... There is faint thunder and a hazy sky. Even if it doesn't rain, I will stay here."
"..."
?
"You also remember Man'yoshu." The woman looked over and said, "I'm sorry for talking to you without permission."
She thought the boy in front of her was very handsome, but she didn't expect that he was also the type who liked reading ancient prose.
"It's okay." said classmate Oreki. "I also think Tsangyang Gyatso's poems are also very good."
"Whether you see me or not, I will be there and never leave you."
"It's beautiful."
Oreki classmate said.
"Well..."
Probably because she was chatting with someone about a topic she was interested in, the woman's interest became high, "And the number one above is best not to miss each other, and best not to meet each other..."
"There's also a slight sadness to it."
"By the way..."
The woman looked over and stared at classmate Oreki, looking into his eyes.
"Your eyes are very beautiful, and they look very similar to someone I knew before."
"Especially the awe-inspiring young man's eyes."
"Yes, that's it!"
The woman seems to be in a good mood.
"What you said is really biased," said classmate Oreki, "No one wants to compare themselves with others, or say who they look like."
"Oh, oh, oh--I'm sorry."
And Takari nodded obediently like a scolded student.
But she soon discovered.
It seems like something is not quite right with me today.
Because how could I suddenly strike up a conversation with a passerby, and then still be in front of the other person... I feel like I have no initiative.
All are passive.
This feeling is very strange.
"Do you usually like coming here?"
But now it was classmate Oreki who was talking to her.
"Yeah." The woman nodded. "There are memories here."
"Memories?"
"Well... how should I put it, I have encountered painful things, and then I met someone here who can save me. I am very grateful to that person.
But now I can't see her/him."
"Don't we have mobile phones now?" said classmate Oreki. "Mobile phones are very developed and can also make voice and video calls."
"Well... how should I say--"
The woman sighed softly, "My situation is different."
"So do you like him?"
"Hmm! Why do you say that?" The woman was startled.
"Because I miss you so much, right?" said classmate Oreki. "People who are very important to me seem to have nothing else but love. And they still can't get it."
"Maybe it's because of the relationship between friends." The woman added. "Because I'm not in a relationship, I think the other person also regards me as a friend."
But classmate Oreki shook his head.
"Whether it's love or friendship, it's actually a special emotion and special treatment for a person. So it's essentially the same, it's just that you want to differentiate so much."
"But..."
The woman felt something was wrong, "I don't know where she/he is, nor his identity. I don't even know if there is a chance to see him again."
"... You can probably see him," said classmate Oreki. "But this is only after you wash off the powder on your face."
"..."
?...??
"What do you mean?" the woman was confused.
"Of course it is when you are most beautiful," said classmate Oreki. "If you show your most beautiful side, then everyone will want to come and see you."
"Uh-"
The woman finally understood that classmate Oreki was praising her for her beauty.
"Thank you."
"But it's best not to say such things to me again," she said. "This is a very strange feeling. I usually don't like talking to people. But I am very used to talking to you."
