All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

Yukinoshita Yukino walked in front with a cold face.

So, they went to the next ride. Since it was another shaky ride, Yukinoshita Haruno simply sat on a chair outside the queue and lazily said:

"Sister, I'm a little tired and need to rest. Let's play together later."

This time it didn't seem like a sisterly quarrel. Qingye felt a little guilty, but Yangno just smiled and patted his back.

The two looked at each other and joined the queue.

Because the line was quite long, couples in the front and back were chatting and laughing. Among the topics that kept coming up, one caught their attention.

"Chiba locals call the Ferris wheel here the 'Place of Happiness.' It's said that men and women who reach the top on time at 8:30 will receive the blessing of the God of Love, and the lights are also the most beautiful."

I can make up ten of these urban legends a day... Qingye shook his head. He never believed in these things. But when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he found that Yukinoshita Yukino was playing with her mobile phone with a serious expression, and he didn't know what she was looking at.

As time went by, it was their turn in the queue. After passing the last corner, they finally arrived at the boarding point.

Kiyono got into the car, and Yukinoshita hurriedly put away her phone and followed him. When the car started slowly, she slowly realized something and immediately gripped the armrest tightly with a tense expression.

This amusement facility is the "Waterfall Mountain". The light strips embedded in the ice rocks light up one after another, illuminating the entire artificial glacier like a sapphire vein under the moonlight. Ice cones hang upside down above their heads, and they ride in a small car, slowly moving forward in the dark blue glacier.

"You may come a little closer, Your Highness," Kiyono said, like a knight.

Fortunately, my sister is not here... The black-haired girl pursed her lips and said nothing. She just silently leaned against his shoulder. The scent of camellia shampoo entwined with the fairy-tale cedar scent, enveloping him.

Beautiful and melodious music flows out, and along the way there is a story about a weasel and a ferret. Every time the mechanical weasel blinks, it makes a mechanical clicking sound.

"You won't tease me like my sister did, will you?" The girl's soft voice mingled with the music.

"Didn't I hold your hand the whole time when we were speeding just now?"

"You will protect me, right?"

"Why do you have to repeat it again?"

As if feeling the warm support, Yukinoshita's body relaxed, and her eyes softened a little. Looking to the side, she saw a group of frogs playing in the pond, with water splashing everywhere.

"Sure enough, I hate my sister."

Yukinoshita continued the previous topic.

The reason why their relationship has become like this is definitely inseparable from Haruno's playful personality, Qingye muttered. She had heard Yukinoshita say before that last time they rode a roller coaster, Haruno deliberately broke off her hand that was holding the guardrail.

but.

It is precisely because he is in the closest place that he understands.

"You like Yang No too, right?"

The carriage continued to move forward leisurely.

"The relationship between family members is truly amazing. Every move of the other person will have an impact on oneself. It is precisely because we are too close that we cannot see clearly between ourselves and others."

Yukinoshita did not answer the question directly, but she did not deny it either.

A perfect superhero sister, a sister who hates her but doesn't want to be hated by her, yearning for her, envying her, worrying about her, feeling inferior...

She paused, then said sarcastically:

"By the way, the one I hate the most among my family is Kiyono-kun. And I don't like him much."

"This supplement is totally unnecessary!"

After complaining, Kiyono then repaid evil with kindness, saying:

"I can see clearly that Yukinoshita has always been a noble and beautiful girl."

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, her voice as clear and serene as flowing water:

"I told you last time that it was just some fantasy you forced upon me...After all these years, haven't you seen clearly yet?"

She looked a little lonely.

"When you said you admired my ideals, I was happy. I've always wanted to be that kind of person. I thought I was moving towards my ideal and gaining recognition. But the real me is just an ordinary person who can't even firmly carry out my own will. I want to gain my family's approval, but I can never do it."

What kind of girl is Yukinoshita Yukino?

She is sharp-tongued, intelligent, aloof, and highly capable. However, after shedding this seemingly strong exterior, she becomes vulnerable, self-deprecating, and afraid to resist in front of her family. She is used to giving up and escaping.

The carriage drove into darkness.

The two looked at each other's dimmed faces.

"I don't think so."

He smiled gently.

"If you can describe your shortcomings like that, then I can also point out more strengths. Even at the cost of my own time and energy, I'll lend a hand to those in need. I'm not affected by the opinions of others. I'm extremely capable. I've been given dignity twice. Although I did retreat a bit in front of my family, I still made my own efforts despite not giving up."

He must have longed for and admired Yukinoshita like this, and nothing had changed even after living together for several years.

Can this feeling be called love?

"Really..."

There was a crisp sound of ice crystals breaking in Yukinoshita's eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered her goal. She wanted to inherit her parents' business.

There was no doubt that this was a longing for his sister, and a hope for his mother's approval, but at some point, a more important reason had been mixed in, which must be—

The carriage made a rattling sound and began to climb upwards, and soon reached the top.

The carriage stopped in mid-air, with a clear blue waterfall beneath it.

There is a huge moon above my head.

Pure snowflakes gently fall on your body and then melt.

From this vantage point, you can see beyond Disneyland. The volcano-shaped rides at Ocean Park glow red, and looking further out, you can even see the nightscape of Shintoshin.

The sea of ​​light formed by countless lights shines brightly, like a starry night sky. This is the night view of Disneyland.

Under the bright moon, Yukishita said so.

"Kyono-kun."

Turning around, the huge castle, looking pale under the lighting, came into view.

The person who appeared in front of the castle was Yukinoshita, wearing a pure white coat and smiling with a tearful expression.

"I want to be someone you'll always admire, so that—"

A feeling of weightlessness, as if falling into a bottomless abyss, came over me.

*

The first thing Yukinoshita did when she walked out of the place was to go to the vending machine with a grim expression and buy a bottle of hot tea.

"So you're afraid of heights."

Qingye stood aside, looked at her expression, and muttered something.

"I'd say I don't really like it." Yukinoshita held her hot drink and turned her head to one side. Wasn't that just a way of saying she was afraid?

"I should have changed it to an aquarium," Kiyono said apologetically.

"I don't really like amusement parks, but..." The black-haired girl looked into the distance, a slight ripple spreading across her bright eyes, and gently exhaled.

"It's not that annoying now."

"Just to ask, is there anything else you don't like?"

Even if they were childhood sweethearts, there were always things they couldn't understand. Qingye now understood this and he wanted to know more.

"Even if you say so...I can't think of it right now."

Yukinoshita tilted her head in distress, showing her clumsy side rarely.

"First... the dog?"

"I know."

"And then there are monsters and stuff."

"I know that too."

"...What about you?"

Yukinoshita put the hot drink on a chair beside her, picked up her cell phone, and raised her head. It seemed that she felt a little dizzy, and her eyes looked very gentle and cute.

Before Qingye could say anything, Yangno, who was waiting on the other side, ran over with a smile, poking her sister with her fingers and teasing her.

After teasing her younger sister for a while, Haruno quietly leaned close to Kiyono's ear and whispered:

"I always feel like...something happened between you two secretly?"

“It’s the magic of the amusement park,” Kiyono replied.

"Hey, will the magic of the fairy tale castle favor a woman with bad intentions?"

Yukinoshita Haruno gave an ambiguous smile.

The two chatted, while Yukino Yukinoshita silently took out her phone, looked at the time on the screen, and muttered softly, "Eight o'clock..."

It just so happens that the next amusement park attraction is the Ferris wheel.

Disney basically queues up in one line and makes reservations for another, so the schedule can be arranged much faster.

They hurried to the Ferris wheel and waited for the next round.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked up at the slowly rotating giant Ferris wheel and thought calmly that it was just a metaphysical theory fabricated by marketing. In fact, it was just the suspension bridge effect produced by looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance in a narrow private space. There was no need to worry about it... She was just conducting an experiment with a serious mentality to break all illusions!

"Kiyono, the Ferris wheel is a sacred place for confessions," her older sister said seductively.

"Hmph, that's just a mass-produced location that shallow men would choose. If it were a confession, I would come up with a scene that better suits our feelings." Kiyono pointed and commented.

The two Yukinositas were moved when they heard this—they couldn't help but imagine the touching scenes for themselves.

"What romantic way will Kiyono choose?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked with great interest. "By the way, Yukino's answer is, 'Confessions don't need to be complicated...'"

The mouth was covered.

The atmosphere between them gradually returned to its former noisy state.

An inexplicable thought flashed through Yukinoshita Yukino's mind.

Next year... everything will change. Will we still be able to laugh together then?

She breathed out softly.

Soon, it was their turn.

Yukinoshita took a step forward expectantly, but at this moment, she was suddenly stunned.

She stood behind Qingye and her sister, and inadvertently saw their profiles. She vaguely caught her sister's expression -

The sister looked at the boy, her beautiful and delicate face as gentle as water.

There is concentration flowing in my sister's eyes, soft and warm, and those eyes melt into light.

In an instant, an indescribable feeling of anxiety surged in her heart, but she could not take her eyes away.

This is a strange sister.

A dreamy amusement park, dreamy winter snow, and a sister who is gorgeous in an instant.

Yukinoshita was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked outside against the flow of people.

Qingye noticed this and turned around in confusion.

"what happened?"

"I'm feeling a little dizzy. I'll wait for you outside." Yukinoshita, holding the ride pass, paused and smiled gently.

"..."

The staff member just waved his hand and let them pass. Before Qingye could say anything, the hand fell like a gate, and the door of the carriage slammed shut. In the moment before the door closed, the eyes of the two people slowly met.

*

The snow still didn't stop.

The snow was fine and soft, like a decoration, dancing crystally outside the window.

The Ferris wheel slowly rises.

In that subtle feeling of weightlessness, Kiyono leaned against the soft cushion and met the eyes of the woman opposite him. Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her straight and gave him a gentle smile. The only sound in her ears was the sound of the machine turning.
