He likes to walk here with his head up and enjoy the clear and sun-drenched scenery.

 

He had traveled through wind and sea, through muddy forest paths. The sticky sweat got stuck between his skin and clothes.

 

So when he saw the shining life in front of him, he slowly fell in love with it.

 

Uki stayed in a sea of ​​sunflowers for so long that his memory was mixed with everything—the emotion he had when he first discovered this place, and the rain he accompanied them, and their land was moistened by the rain.

 

There is sunshine falling on his back, but in front of him, he is illuminated by a group of lives born to the sun.

 

The simple cloth allows him to easily run in the sea of ​​flowers. Uki sometimes needs to run against  the wind. When he takes a step, he always needs to stretch out his hand to hold the straw hat, and then accompanied by a shallow laugh. will reverberate in the wind.

 

The view here changes with the clouds, and he can always find a special scene in it. When the sun goes down, there is a colorful sunset here. It is purple or red, and it will be stained with a little orange. The color above is slightly fish maw white, like a touch of color that has been randomly smeared on the canvas after a paintbrush has been dipped in paint.

 

Uki lay his eyes on the sunflowers in front of him: "Today you’re also very energetic." He would stare at them swaying in the wind, occasionally chuckle a few times, and then talk to them in the morning light.

 

These behaviors seemed to be strange, even Uki himself was not sure whether the alcohol that had not dissipated the night before dominated his head.

 

Uki walked casually and tapped the branches of the flowers: "Good morning every s-u-n-f-l-o-w-e-r." He roamed in the sea of ​​flowers, between the flowers and the sun in the sky, he was the only one.

 

He doesn't remember how long he traveled, he only remembers the dazzling light and a group of lovely lives, so when he was about to leave, he would be somewhat reluctant to leave, which made him want to stay all day and night. Watching them more, praying to the gods that may not exist, even if it is a minute and a second, lets him spend more time with them, but Uki is still defeated by heavy eyelids.

 

When he woke up again, he was awakened by his friends.

 

He sat among the branches of the flower bush and shook his head with cloudy consciousness. The heavy body and eyelids made him reluctant to stand up. Uki just sat there and saw the sleepy bug for dozens of minutes. accidentally fell asleep. Half-dreaming, half-awake, he only looked forward to touching the wilting petals, and at the same time he heard a shout.

 

"Uki──Uki──!"

 

After hearing this, he looked out in surprise.

 

It was a group of familiar people, outside his beautiful sea of ​​flowers.

 

Uki knows that they will come to him, and he also knows that this beauty is not eternal, the sea of ​​flowers will eventually wither, so he will cherish this beauty even more.

 

He was about to leave with his friends, and reluctantly, he gathered a bunch of the most beautiful flowers and faced the sun before parting, leaving a group photo.

 

After that, he would look at the sun and smile brightly every time he thought about them.
