"Click, click."

Following the crisp footsteps of the two, Yuki Terajima led Shiina Iori all the way through the dim corridor.

In a compartment located at the corner, I opened the lock with the key I carried with me and saw a staircase leading straight to the upwards.

Shiina Iori's footsteps stood at the entrance of the stairs.

Yuki Terajima walked in front, and seemed to stop hearing the footsteps behind him, so he turned his head and looked at Shiina Iori.

"Do you want to go back?"

Her voice was cold, and her side face was as if she was coated with a faint silver light under the moonlight falling from the stairs on the rooftop.

There were also a few more reminders in his tone.

"Sino is still here."

"You probably don't want to keep getting stuck between the two of us, right?"

After hearing this reminder, Shiina Iori suddenly felt as if she had woken up from her faint hazy drunkenness, pinching her nose with some headaches, and her voice was flooded with alcohol, making her feel a little hoarse.

"Then you still always tease Shino?"

"You said that before, you just wanted to make her angry."

As he said, he pulled a white shirt tied from the first collar and walked step by step towards the cooler rooftop.

Yuki Terajima walked side by side on the stairs, but his face still had no expression, but his voice seemed very puzzled:

"Isn't it possible?"

Shiina Iori turned her head to look at her.

It was like seeing a tigress who liked to play with prey.

He stopped talking.

But Yuki Terajima seemed to have not noticed Shiina Iori's subtle gaze, and walked up the stairs step by step with his hands behind his back.

While walking, the skirt swayed.

Under the slightly longer evening dress, a piece of snow-white calves faintly appeared.

Under the moonlight, a layer of silver white reflects.

"And, the reason why this happens... is your problem with Iori."

When she was about to reach the rooftop, she continued to speak quietly:

“Life is something to choose.”

"Iori."

Shiina Iori listened silently to her words and suddenly said:

"Who do you think I'll choose?"

When he said this, Yuki Terajima just stepped forward and pushed open the door leading to the rooftop, making a slight creaking sound.

The girl turned her head when she heard his voice, stood on the top steps, condescending.

There was a light flashing in my eyes.

She didn't speak.

As soon as the voice came out, Shiina Iori regretted it a little.

I don’t know if it was because I drank alcohol and my head was slowing down for a while, or because he wanted to hear the answer she hoped for from Yuki, so he asked unconsciously.

After two seconds of silence, Terajima Yuki didn't say anything and went straight to the rooftop.

Until Shiina Iori closed the door of the rooftop, both of them tacitly did not ask this question again.

There are always some problems, and everyone knows each other well.

But once it is exposed, it will embarrass everyone.

Fortunately, Terajima Yuki didn't seem to have any idea of ​​tangling about this issue, but just walked into the rooftop with his hands silently behind his back.

The moonlight was just right tonight, and it was a full moon. The top floor of the Terajima Hotel in Setagaya District was as bright as the daytime under the reflection of light pollution and moonlight in Tokyo.

Looking from behind, Lucki's back was just right.

Perhaps because of her years of exercise, her figure is not thin, but just looking at the full curves gives people a healthy beauty.

Even the slightly loose evening dress cannot cover the protrusion behind it, and the straight legs that look longer against the high heels.

Long hair that is always tied into a high ponytail on weekdays is rarely put down and spread on your shoulders.

At this time, Shiina Iori discovered that Yuki's hair turned out to be so long.

It can almost always fall into the back of the heart.

At this moment, against the backdrop of the moonlight, even the ordinary movement of shuffling her hair added a different feeling of tenderness to her cold and plain expression.

Fortunately, after entering the rooftop, I walked to a high-magnitude astronomical telescope located in the center of the rooftop. I bent my long hair on my temples, leaned over and put it behind the eyepiece.

Shiina Iori was wandering beside Yuki, looking into the distance.

At night, Setagaya District is divided into areas with different lights and darkness by lights, allowing people to distinguish between commercial and residential areas at a glance from a high place. The lights and wine in the distance seem to be within reach.

There is only a guardrail net across the edge of the roof.

It makes people feel an urge to jump from here in their hearts.

"Iori?"

It seemed that he finally found out that he was not by his side, so he looked up and looked for him: "Come here, I just happened to see it today."

Shiina Iori was greeted by her, and reached out and held her hands in front of the telescope's eyepiece. Each person had an eyepiece, and his ears were gently rubbed.

"Have Iori known these signs?"

As luck said while leaning in front of the eyepiece, he reached out and adjusted the scale blindly.

"without."

Shiina Iori really doesn't know.

The environment in Japan is not as good as that in magazines. At least there are only a few cities where you can see the stars every night.

Moreover, he didn't stop and stare at the sky.

"Yeah?"

But Yuki Terajima seemed to be in high spirits, and even his tone increased: "Look at the constellation slightly left in the middle, the cross-shaped one."

"That sign is called Cygnus, it should be easier to distinguish, right?"

“Which is?”

"The brightest! There is a cross around the brightest star."

"The cross...is this a cross? Is it a cross? I can't tell at all."

Shiina Iori suspected that she was really drunk.

Yuki Terajima seemed to be indifferent to the eyepiece, gently controlling the camera offset in his hand, not caring about his words: "It would be nice for a novice to find Tianjin Si."

"But the Vega and Alchemy next to each other should be a little more obvious."

"Can you see this time?"

"Ah, I saw it."

Shiina Iori didn't want to sweep her pleasure, so she leaned in front of the eyepiece and narrowed her eyes.

But this time, he didn't take much effort. As Yuki Terajima fixed the telescope's lens within a range, he suddenly saw the two brightest stars in the starry sky.

"It's easy to find?"

Yuki Terajima's voice was filled with a bit of joy when sharing good things with his friends, and he explained softly: "The scientific name of Arkham is Kawaguji, but the name of Vega has not changed. It is named after the myth of Magpie Bridge."

"Iori must have heard of it?"

"Well, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."

Shiina Iori nodded, because the word "Cowherd" in Japanese is a transliteration of the foreign word "Host", so it did not change into a strange meaning.

"Yes, lovers who are blocked by the starry sky can only meet once a year."

"A poignant myth."

As Terajima said, his voice suddenly felt a little melancholy: "But...Do Iori know?"

"In fact, there are two other slightly dim main stars around Aaron Star throughout the year."

"So these three stars are also called the Three Stars of the River Drum or the Three Stars of the Cowherd."

"Even if you can meet your lover once a year, the cowherd who is on both boats will not feel lonely."

"Right, Iori?"

Listening to Yuki Terajima's words, Shiina Iori's more and more felt something was starting to get wrong.
