“On that summer day....I had nothing to do so I went out to look for her. And during that time, her cat jumped away. She ran after it until she was hit by a car. I was very scared so I closed my eyes. And when I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on the bed. I hurriedly went out to find her. I found her in the park and found her alive, but soon after she was stabbed to death by an iron rod.”

“Every summer I am faced with her death in a unique way. Until one day she was hit by a car but survived. I'm glad she survived. But I probably didn't know that what happened next would bring death to me...."

Thank You

Tick ​​tock~

"Hmm." I opened my eyes and looked around. Is this my bedroom? It must be like that because every time I wake up this must be my bedroom. And another reason is her death. I don't understand why when she died I had to wake up in my bedroom.

And when I went out to meet her, I tried to take her away from death. But it's still the same and hasn't changed at all. The more they tried to escape her, the more bizarre her death became. Should I take her away today? Hmm...let's go see her first.

I got up from the bed and went to take a shower. When I finished getting dressed, I walked down the stairs. He walked out and opened the door before closing it. Without thinking, I ran towards the park. And on the way, I saw many police cars driving towards the park. As I neared the park, I saw people nearby leaving their homes and gathering around to look at something.

What's going on?

I thought to myself, my curiosity motivating me to walk straight ahead. In the middle of the road there were many people watching, so I had to try to get in. I smelled something very familiar. I kept inserting myself to see what the crowd was watching. And that's when I was at the front of the crowd. I saw the body of a girl covered in blood lying on the ground.

Beside her, a black cat sat and looked at its owner, who was now lying on the ground, before it turned to look at me. I froze and felt like I was sweating profusely. Is it because of the hot weather or her body in front of her?

Meanwhile, I and others were standing shocked by the scene that had happened. The sound of the ambulance suddenly sounded. Several nurses and nurses got out of the car. A nurse wheeled an ambulance bed out of the vehicle. Two male nurses helped her onto the bed. Before many nurses helped prepare various equipment, including a ventilator and a heart pump, before the nurse wheeled the ambulance bed into the car and drove away quickly.

Where her body had been before, it was now wrapped with yellow and black tape by police. I saw that next to the scene there was a truck parked. The front of the car was stained with blood. I could easily guess that the truck must have hit her.

I came to visit her at a hospital. I asked the counter staff which room she was in. The answer that came back was the emergency room. So I kept walking straight before turning right. The front door said 'emergency room' in red letters, so I opened the door without hesitation. The room was filled with many patients lying on beds and visiting relatives.

I walked and finally found a bed with her sleeping body on it. Her body was covered in bandages. I stood and looked at her silently. Until there was a loud noise coming from behind.

"Oh, you're visiting a friend?" the nurse asked me as he pushed a hospital wheelchair over.

“Oh, yes,” I replied.

"Just in time. I'm about to transfer this child to the special ward," the nurse told me as he walked over to the bed and picked her up. before placing her on the wheelchair, "Would you like to go together?"

“Yes,” I answered. The nurse nodded before pushing a wheelchair out of the emergency room. I followed behind We took the elevator to the 4th floor before the nurse brought out a wheelchair. and stopped in front of a room that had her name written on it, 'Asahina Hiyori', before sliding the door open and pushing the wheelchair with her body on it into the room.

I followed behind and closed the door just as the nurse put her on the bed. before pushing the wheelchair out of the room

I sat down in the chair next to the bed and looked at her sleeping. I picked up the phone and it was already 12:53. Soon her parents would have to come take care of her. Hmm....So should I go back then? Or should I go back now? I decided to return now. But while I was turning around and walking to open the door,

"Hibiya," the small voice of hers trying to speak called out to me. I turned around and saw her eyes open.

“Are you awake?” I asked her.

"Uh, where are you going?" she asked as she tried to sit up on the bed.

“I'm about to return,” I replied.

"Can't we just be friends first?" She looked at me with pleading eyes. So I shook my head to myself.

"Fine, but when your parents come, I'll come back. Is that okay?"

"Oh," she smiled at me. It was a smile so bright that I couldn't help but smile.

After yesterday I went to visit her. When her parents came, I greeted them. They thanked me for being Hiyori's friend. So I just said that it was a small matter. I said goodbye to you all and was about to leave the room. Hiyori doesn't want me to return. Her parents didn't know what to do. Because she kept saying she didn't want me back.

Until I had to promise her that I would come visit every day. She agreed and told me not to break my promise. At that time, the entire room was quiet. Until her parents and I laughed. She blushed and puffed out her cheeks before laying down and turning away.

So today I bought some snacks to give to her. and addicted to many comic books Because she was probably bored in the hospital, so I attached it. For you to want to read to relieve boredom. I walked until I reached the hospital before taking the elevator to the 4th floor and walking to the room where she was staying. I slid the door in and found her lying on the bed watching TV with a bored expression on her face. When she saw me, she stood up and smiled to greet me.

"Good morning, Hibiya," she greeted.

"Oh, are you bored?" I looked at her before sitting down in the chair next to the bed.

"Yes, I don't see anything fun watching TV," she sighed.

“I thought it must be like that,” I said. She turned to look at me confused. So I smiled, "I bought some snacks for you." And bring some cartoon books." I held up a bag of snacks and a bag of books. Her eyes sparkled.

“Wow! Thank you. You really know my heart,” she said.

"Well, I'm your friend." I smiled as I put the bag on the bed where she was lying. "What do we do first?"

“Read a book,” she said, picking up the book bag on the bed and looking through it. “There are only books I like.” She stopped searching through the books and looked at me.

“It must be for sure. Please sit down and choose for me,” I replied.

"Oh, thank you." She smiled and took out the book to read. So I picked it up and read it too.

A few days later Hiyori was released from the hospital. Her condition improved greatly. But even so, I still wonder why she didn't die. But if it continues like this, I think it's good too. Back to how it was before when she and I came out to talk and play together. It's good like this......

“Where are we going today?” I asked her.

"Is the sea good?" she replied.

"Well, that's good." She and I walked down the road until we passed a public park that had been the scene of many of her deaths. She and I walked along and stopped to wait for the traffic light to turn green. The traffic light changed from red to green and she and I walked across. Meanwhile, the sound of a car horn sounded from my right.

I boldly turned to look, sweat beading on my face. A car was driving at a frightening speed. which drove towards me and stood frozen in place. Until that car came closer and closer to me. That's when she came and pushed me. I rolled onto the floor. She rolled back to the side where we were standing together just now.

My heart was beating so fast I could almost dance outside. Sweat was all over his face. I took a deep breath before looking around. and pushed himself to his feet. I ran back to the same side and saw her sitting on the ground.

"Hiyori, what's wrong?" I looked at her. Most of the time it's just a little bit of abrasion.

"..." She remained silent. She was shaking slightly but I noticed.

“Hiyori, why are you trembling? Hey! Answer me. Hiyori!!!” I called out but she still didn't reply. After about 3 minutes she started talking.

“It has begun. It really is what I thought.” Each word that came out of her mouth spoke to me. But it seemed like she was talking more to herself.

"Hiyori!!!" I called her name again. Until she was startled, "What does 'It has begun' mean?"

"Hibiya, you remember, right? I have to die every summer," she said in a voice that shook so much I could feel it. What she said just now meant that she knew that she would die every year. "But this year, you saw that I didn't die," a lot of sweat appeared on my face. The air, which is already hot, is even hotter.”

Because of that, I didn't die this year. You must die for me. Or simply called the successor.

“So how do I prove that this is true?” I asked.

"Take a look at the phone."

"Um." I pulled out the phone I kept in my pants pocket. before sliding the screen

August 14 at 10:28

"Why the date?!" I looked at the phone screen in disbelief at what I saw.

“Yes, from that day of the car accident it hasn't changed at all. Until you die..." she said.

"So I have to die to end the story?" I asked.

"It's up to you." She smiled at me before standing up. So I got up and followed her, "Let's go home first." You'd better be extra careful during this time.”

"Ah...umm" I nodded.

Sassy Sassy

Today was a rainy day that I couldn't go out and meet Hiyori. I don't know what she will be like. I reached for the phone on the table before jumping off the bed. and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and took out a carton of milk. I scrolled down the screen and looked at the contacts. When I saw her name, I pressed call.

I held the phone to my ear before reaching for the scissors. As I was picking up the scissors and walking towards the table where the milk cartons and glasses were placed, the phone signal rang. It is a signal that someone has answered the phone. So I said hello to the other end of the line.

"Hey Hiyori, are you okay?"

“Oh, I'm fine,” she replied, “What are you doing?”

"I'm cutting the edges of the milk carton," I replied as I finished cutting the edges of the milk carton and poured the milk into the glass. I picked up the scissors and was about to put them away.

“Put down those scissors!!!!” she shouted. I was startled and accidentally dropped the scissors on the floor. It was then that the lights in the house went out and came back on in seconds.

"Why..." was all I said. I heard someone sigh loudly from the phone.

"Are you almost gone? If you leave those scissors any later, you'll probably die from one of these scissors,” she said.

"Huh...that much?" I asked.

"Well, this world will do everything to make you die."

"So can I go live with her?" I asked.

“Hibiya.......feisty. "Shit," the voice on the other end of the line disappeared. So I quickly put down the phone and ran to open the door. Outside the house it was raining heavily and the wind was still strong. But I probably can't stop because of this. I closed the door before running towards Hiyori's house. But the rain that was already falling heavily was falling even harder.

scorching!

The loud sound of lightning startled me, causing me to turn around and look. Because the sound of lightning just now was very close to me. I stopped paying attention to things around me. and ran again I keep running Just a little more and we'll be at your house....just a little more.....

Seriously!!!

The sound of heavy objects falling It held several iron rods that were rolling down and impaling my body. I couldn't help closing my eyes and accepting my fate. Since this world doesn't want me to live I will accept that death myself. The smile that slowly spread on my face turned into a death-defying smile.

I have never felt so satisfied with my life before. Take it....if you want it to die, take it...

Shock!!!

I opened my eyes when I heard the sound of an iron rod impaling my body, but when I opened my eyes I couldn't see any of those iron rods. Red liquid slowly flowed down my face. I looked up and saw her body impaled on those metal rods. I was so shocked that I stood still. She turned to look at me and smiled before falling down. When I saw this, I quickly ran in to check on her.

"Why...why did you do this Hiyori!!!" I shouted, hugging her body tightly.

"Just a little," she coughed out blood, "I'm sorry I forgot to tell you."

"Tell me what?" I asked in a trembling voice.

"I forgot to tell you that even though you die, These matters are not over yet. Until...Just a little!!" She coughed up blood heavily.

"That's enough," I said, hugging her tighter.

“Until the person who started this incident dies,” she said with an innocent smile.

"Then why...why didn't you let me die?" I said.

“I told you, but you didn't listen.” She sighed, “If you die, it won't end. And I don't want you to die either."

"..." I raised my head and looked at her face.

“Thank you for everything, Hibiya. I wish you lots of happiness. And goodbye." She smiled softly at me before closing her eyes. The sky that used to have rain clouds has now completely disappeared, leaving only a bright sky. Is everything finished like that? Why does it have to end like this? Why must someone die? Why wasn't I the one who died?

"Huh...Hiyori" I hugged her body tightly, the tears that I had been holding back flowing out.

"Hey, hyung, have you seen Hibiya?" Momo, the idol girl, asked her older brother Shintaro.

"You know, I'm not that little brat," Shintaro replied boredly while sitting on his phone.

"Wow, really, this guy," Momo sighed, "Has Ene seen Hibiya?"

"I don't see it." Ene suddenly appeared on Shintaro's phone screen.

"Ene! How many times have I told you not to show up while people are working!!" Shintaro shouted.

"What can I do? Momo-san asked me this, my lord," Ene replied, looking a bit sad.

"Then learn to tell me later!!!" Shintaro couldn't stop yelling. Until Momo had to come out of there and during that time she saw Mari, Seto, Kido, Kano, and Konoha all together. So she took the opportunity to ask them.

"Uh, has everyone seen Hbiya?"

"I feel like I'm secretly sleeping," Kano replied.

"You idiot! Hibiya is going out!" Kido shouted at Kano.

"Um, thank you," she said before walking out.

Sassy Sassy

The sound of the wind rustling the grass A large tree that is blown by the wind bends in the direction of the wind. The atmosphere here is calm and quiet, like no living things are there. But there was one person still standing here alone. Hibiya stood silently looking at Hiyori's grave. He heard his voice calling and turned to look.

"Hibiya!" Momo called out to him from far away. When she reached him, he gasped.

"How did you know I was here?" Hibiya asked Momo, not really wanting an answer.

"I know everything about you." She held his hand and smiled gently. He really misses this kind of smile, a very nostalgic smile. The smiles of friends who are no longer alive on this earth.

“Huh,” he smiled to himself, “then tell me who I like.”

"Eh, do you have someone you like?" she asked him back.

“Then you said you knew everything about me. How true is that?” He stuck out his tongue at Momo before running away.

"Oh...you!! Hibiya, come and let me catch you!!!!" Momo said as she ran after Hibiya.

“If you arrest me, that's stupid,” he replied.

"So you conclude that you have someone you like?" She continued to chase after him.

"Well....I don't know," he replied with a mischievous smile. It further aroused Momo's curiosity. After that, they chase each other until Momo catches Hibiya.

But....maybe there will be soon.

(The End)
