Cherry Blossoms

Chapter 1

The war is over, but the scars it left remain in memory, becoming clearer with time.

Yuki was over 30 years old when she retired from the army. She dedicated her youth to the army. At the end of the war, her superiors hoped that Yuki could stay and continue to serve the country, but Yuki refused. medals left the unit.

Sitting on the train back home, Yuki kept looking out the window. Even if the window was closed, she could still smell the scorching smell from the land outside. All that was left after the bombing was ruins.

Yuki yawned. She seemed to be feeling a little tired, so she leaned her head on the backrest. A young man was sitting opposite Yuki. At his age, Yuki was still training in the military academy. And cultivate your own physique.The young man's head is bandaged, one side of the bandage covers the right eye, he may have been injured in the war, he has been reading a book in his hand, the name is "Peaceful Hypothesis", the epaulets on the military uniform have been Return it, although it has been washed, but Yuki still saw faint blood stains on the uniform. This person has experienced the same war as himself, so his military temperament is so prominent, Yuki smiled slightly, she remembered When she was studying in that world-famous army school, Rena always whispered in her ear.

"You don't look like a soldier at all"

The harsh but famous school of the Silup Army School has produced countless heroic fighters and commanders who have created outstanding military exploits. When Yuki received the notice, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night , his parents died unfortunately due to the spread of the war, and Yuki, who was in high school at that time, vowed to be admitted to this famous military academy.After many days and nights of struggle, the notice finally made her realize her vow.

Yuki happily took the notice, and immediately went to find the girl in the class next to her, the girl who always liked to follow her behind.

"How about I say I can pass the exam!" The young Yuki waved the notification letter in her hand with a proud face, and the corners of her smiling mouth showed vigor and vigor in the sun.The girl sitting by the fountain looked up at Yuki, her hazel eyes reflected Yuki's figure, she listened quietly to Yuki's flaunting words to her, with a smile on her lips that never changed.

Yuki was complacent for a while before remembering that this girl of the same level as her was taking the university entrance exam this year, so she asked "Rena, what school did you go to?" In Yuki's impression, this slender girl who likes to hang around her must be Will apply for nursing college or teacher, but after the scene, Yuki almost bit her own tongue, only to see the thin girl named Rena slowly take out a notification letter from the schoolbag next to her, which is exactly the same as her Notice.Yuki's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, and she was admitted to Silup! ! ! ! !In disbelief, she snatched the notice from Rena's hand, read it again silently, and after confirming the facts, Yuki sat beside Rena dejectedly.

"I thought I could beat you this time!"

Rena who was beside her burst into laughter, and then tilted her head to look at Yuki, "If you go to Silup alone, no one will be your toilet paper next to you when you cry." Rena said humorously Out of Yuki's weakness, this girl who looks stronger than Rena is actually a coward who dares not watch ghost movies and is afraid of rabbits.Thinking that such a girl would become a soldier in the future, Rena couldn't accept it.

"Who is crying? I didn't cry!" Yuki argued bravely, but it was obvious that her protest was completely ignored by Rena.So on the campus boulevard, Rena was walking with her black schoolbag in her hand, listening to Yuki's chatter, repeating their old stories all over again.

The beginning of Sirop's school was in April when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Reina and Yuki were assigned to the second class at the same time. Yuki was distracted in the first military theory class. Rena on the diagonally opposite side, that straight person in a military uniform with a straight back, turned out to be quite suitable for wearing a military uniform. I knew before that I liked Rena, but she couldn't open it. As expected, this kind of thing is still very embarrassing.

As soon as the class bell rang, Yuki couldn't wait to come to Rena who was arranging the books, then pulled her wrist, and ran downstairs without saying a word. The two trotted all the way to a corner next to the school. In a garden, cherry trees are planted on both sides of the garden. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they are always romantic and gentle, adding a touch of softness to the solemn and solemn military academy. There are scattered petals on the path. Lay it casually on the ground, Yuki pulled Reina to stand on the trail of flying cherry blossoms, Yuki blushed a little, she suddenly wondered if she was too impulsive, she bit the corners of her lips and engaged in an ideological struggle to put Rena out of the air On the side, Rena waited patiently for what Yuki hadn't said yet, but time waited for no one, and when the class bell rang again, Yuki sighed inwardly, and could only silently hold Rena's hand to the teacher Walk back upstairs.

The theory class is a swordsmanship class. For Yuki who was exposed to swordsmanship for the first time, it was a bit difficult just to memorize those parry moves, so she naturally became the reverse reading No.1 of this class. Surprisingly, Linnai was the No.1 in the swordsmanship class. She didn't know that she could swordsmanship before, but after seeing her fast sword and flowing moves, she was sure that Linnai must have learned it.

There is no doubt that the last one left is the "oil bottle" Yuki, and her tutor is Rena Matsui.Yuki, who had swung her sword a hundred times, squatted on the floor and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She got a little petty. She stopped practicing. It would be embarrassing to show her weakness in front of the person she likes. matter.Yuki pursed her mouth and looked at Rena with a frustrated face, but Rena, who was wearing a white kendo uniform with a serious face, was completely immune to Yuki's intentionally pitiful expression.

She didn't say anything, but came up and grabbed Yuki's wrist, and then forced Yuki to stand up. Yuki pouted unwillingly and waved his sword weakly, which seemed to annoy Rena a little. She stood opposite Yuki, then raised the wooden knife to Yuki, and said in a stern tone.

"Now I am your enemy, if you don't kill me, I will kill you!" This way of speaking made Yuki very uncomfortable, but the other party was Rena, and she couldn't show it, Yuki held her breath Ji could only obediently raise the wooden knife again, but Rena's knife was too fast, and before Yuki could get into position, she was hit on the wrist by Rena's slash, and the wooden knife that came out of his hand fell in pain. On the floor, Yuki suddenly felt aggrieved, she rubbed her wrists and ran out, leaving Rena alone in the dojo.

As the sun was setting, Yuki was sitting on the low mound behind the dojo. There was already an obvious bruise on his wrist, which would hurt when he touched it.She regarded the grass as her enemy, picked it up unceremoniously, and then threw them out one by one angrily.Throwing a shadow that appeared under Xie Hui in front of him, Yuki knew who the owner of this shadow was, and he had seen the shadow countless times, a shadow that he would never forget, even if he only saw her shadow He also recognized her, and hummed softly, expressing that he was very unhappy.So the owner of the shadow walked to Yuki and sat down, then took out a bottle of medicine for bruises from a small bag she carried, she gently helped Yuki's wrist, poured the bottle of medicine on it, and used it The fingers began to rub rhythmically and forcefully, Yuki squeaked, and reflexively wanted to withdraw his arm, but was held even tighter by the other party.

"It turns out that when I practiced swordsmanship when I was young, I used this medicine for bruises. It is very useful. It will reduce the swelling tomorrow." Without saying anything, Rena carefully rubbed Yuki's bruises The skin, until the skin was rubbed a little hot, then Rena put Yuki's sleeves down to cover the bruise, and Yuki's temper dissipated after the massage. She lay down on her back and looked at the bruise in the sky. The red sun was fascinated, and Linnai also lay down immediately, and the two of them were lying in the afterglow of the sun in pure white kendo uniforms.

Rena suddenly said, "Yuki, you really don't look like a soldier, you're a cheapskate who loves to cry." Yuki didn't retort abnormally when she heard this, she laughed haha, and then Rena also laughed.
