My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

And I will keep an eye on her to prevent yesterday's tragedy from happening again.

Without waiting for Kasugano Sora's response, Kasugano Yu answered Takayanagi Ichiro's question instead.

"So, you didn't keep a close eye on your sister yesterday?"

Takayanagi Ichiro's rhetorical question immediately silenced Kasugano Haruka.

Chapter 452 Haruka Kasugano Jumped into the Sea

Because Kasugano Sora was genuinely injured yesterday, if Takayanagi Ichiro hadn't happened to be at Kasugano Hospital, she might have had to be sent to another hospital for surgery.

Kasugano Sora will need a long time to recover, so she definitely won't be able to go to school the next day.

The injury that Kasugano Sora sustained yesterday actually had little to do with Kasugano Haruka; it was mainly due to Kasugano Sora's own attempt to force a good performance.

However, this responsibility absolutely cannot be placed on Kasugano Sora, so Kasugano Yuu has no choice but to take it on.

"What happened yesterday has nothing to do with You."

Just then, Akira Amane, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't hold back any longer and rolled down the back window to explain for Haruka Kasugano.

The reason why Akira Amane is so familiar with the vehicle's switches is mainly because of Ichiyo Nagisa.

Sometimes Nagisa Ichiyo would let Amatsume Ei ride back in her family's car, so she was quite familiar with some of the car's switches.

Amane Akira was also at school yesterday and witnessed Kasugano Sora's injury. Of course, she didn't want Kasugano Yu to take the blame.

"Ying, what are you doing in this car?"

Seeing Amane Akira sitting in the back seat of the car, Kasugano Haruka was on the verge of a breakdown. Was everyone around him about to lead Takayanagi Ichiro astray?

In the hospital, his grandfather thought Takayanagi Ichiro was a good person and was willing to provide him with some help.

Yesterday, Ifukube Yashiro came to visit. Actually, he was quite nice to Kasugano Haruka when they were young.

However, they all left together with Takayanagi Ichiro, without any intention of considering his feelings.

Today, I saw Tamame Ei sitting in the back seat of Takayanagi Ichiro's car again. Could it be that Tamame Ei has also fallen for him?

Kasugano Sora had already gotten off the back of the bicycle, and her gaze toward Amatsume Akira was somewhat unfriendly.

The reason she was injured yesterday was mainly because of these people. I didn't expect that today, Amamiya Ei would actually defend Kasugano Yu in Takayanagi Ichiro's car.

“Mr. Takayanagi, may I ride in your car to school? I’m having a bit of a jolt on the back of your bicycle.”

Kasugano Sora directly made her request to Takayanagi Ichiro, which made Kasugano Yu's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

"Qiong, you used to ride on my bicycle all the time, why didn't you react like this before?"

"The previous Qiong was intact, but the current Qiong is injured."

So as the older brother, you should be taking better care of him, not questioning him like this.

This time, it was Ichiro Takayanagi who answered Haruka Kasugano's question and opened the back door of the car.

Unfortunately, Kasugano Sora didn't get on the bus from the direction the door opened, because Amamiya Akira was standing by the door.

So she walked halfway around the car and then to the other side.

Takayanagi Ichiro opened the other car door, and this time Kasugano Sora did not refuse and got in the car directly.

After getting into the back seat of the car, she and Amamiya Akira were quite far apart, as if to suggest that their relationship was not very good.

Seeing Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira in this state, Amamiya Etsuko, sitting in the passenger seat, almost wanted to laugh.

Girls in this high school age group generally wear their thoughts on their faces.

Haruka Kasugano felt a chill run down her spine when her younger sister abandoned her and got into Ichiro Takayanagi's car.

"Ying, I'm very good at riding a bicycle. How about I give you a ride?"

Kasugano Yu extended an invitation to Amatsume Akira from outside.

He couldn't scold his sister, and he believed that in broad daylight, Takayanagi Ichiro wouldn't do anything bad to Kasugano Sora, so he could only invite the guest from Takayanagi Ichiro's car.

If Amane Ei were to agree, it would be a slap in the face to Takayanagi Ichiro.

Sitting on the back of a bicycle isn't necessarily worse than sitting on the back of a car.

Unfortunately, when faced with Kasugano Haruka's invitation, Amamiya Akira quickly shook her head and refused.

"Yu, not today. If there's a chance later, I'll definitely ride on your bicycle."

Today, Kasugano Sora invited Takayanagi Ichiro to the school for a charity visit. She is essentially acting as a guide, so of course she can't leave Takayanagi Ichiro halfway through.

"Yu, I'll take them to school first. I hope you can take your time later."

Riding slowly can be good exercise; you just look a bit weak right now.

Takayanagi Ichiro didn't mean to mock him. After speaking, he started the car and drove away, leaving Kasugano Haruka standing there in a daze.

There is a sea here in Okumizome, and we are currently in a place by the sea, on a very straight road.

Just as Ichiro Takayanagi finished driving down the straight road and was about to turn, he glanced at the rearview mirror and then turned the steering wheel all the way around.

I initially thought it was a normal turn, but I quickly realized something was wrong; it seemed like they were turning back.

"Takayanagi-kun, what happened?"

Amamiya Etsuko's way of addressing Takayanagi Ichiro has also changed slightly. She doesn't quite understand why Takayanagi Ichiro wanted to bring the car back. Could it be that he wanted to pick up Kasugano Yuya?

If they really did that, they could have just let Kasugano Haruka get on the bus right then and there would have been no need for all this back and forth.

However, when Ichiro Takayanagi's car stopped at the starting position, the people inside noticed something was wrong.

Because there was only one bicycle at the spot, and the owner of the missing bicycle was Kasugano Yu.

"Yu..."

Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira called out Kasugano Yu's name at roughly the same time, but someone got off the bus even faster than the two of them—that was the driver, Takayanagi Ichiro.

Takayanagi Ichiro didn't turn around because he saw only bicycles in the same spot; he turned around after seeing Kasugano Haruka walking alone towards the sea in his rearview mirror.

Because in the original series, Kasugano Haruka jumped into the sea once, so he might very well repeat himself now.

When Kasugano Sora, Amamiya Akira, and the others arrived at the beach, they saw Takayanagi Ichiro finish packing up all his valuables and removing his clothes, before diving headfirst into the sea.

Last night, I consummated my relationship with Takayanagi Ichiro. Amamiya Etsumiko is well aware of Takayanagi Ichiro's physique.

Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira are different. Although you can see some of the students' figures during school PE class, they are nothing compared to Takayanagi Ichiro.

If it weren't for Ichiro Takayanagi having to go into the sea to retrieve someone, Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira might have wanted Ichiro Takayanagi to stand there a little longer so they could admire him more.

"Yu..."

Chapter 453 A Crack Appears Between Yu and Sora

Kasugano Sora is Kasugano Haruka's younger sister, and they used to have a very good relationship.

Especially after their parents passed away and their grandfather was deeply grieving, the siblings vaguely felt the possibility of supporting each other through thick and thin.

Akira Amane is Kasugano Haruka's classmate, and because they are about the same age, she cares about Kasugano Haruka quite a bit.

Kasugano Haruka has definitely jumped into the sea. After shouting, the two of them wanted to take another step forward, but were stopped by Amamiya Etsuko.

"Don't do anything reckless. You have to trust that Gao Liu-kun can save that reckless boy."

"If the two of you also fall into the water, there will be three people he needs to save, and there will be bad consequences."

Not only did they physically restrain them, but Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira also spoke up to remind them.

Of course, Amamiya Etsuko also knew which hand Kasugano Sora had injured yesterday, so it was a mistake and did not have any impact on her.

After listening to Amamiya Etsuko's advice, Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira no longer had any intention of continuing their journey to the beach.

They chose to believe Takayanagi Ichiro at this moment because he had demonstrated incredible abilities to them the day before.

Ichiro Takayanagi mastered the art of bone setting simply by listening to some of Kasugano Sora's stories, and he even helped Kasugano Sora complete her bone setting treatment.

In front of Amaterasu Ei, Takayanagi Ichiro was a mysterious person.

Not only could he casually give Ifukube Yashiro ten million yen in funding, but he could also pull her out of the shrine for five million yen.

Although Ichiro Takayanagi is an outsider, he is someone they can trust.

"Qiong, why are you at the beach?"

Just then, another female voice came from behind.

The three of them turned around and saw a girl with braided pigtails.

Kasugano Sora's face was very unpleasant, because this was her brother's childhood friend.

The reason she did those forceful things at school yesterday was mainly due to the influence of this woman.

Since Ichiro Takayanagi hadn't yet rescued Haruka Kasugano, neither Kasugano Sora nor Akira Amatsume intended to speak. Then, the woman who had just appeared immediately arrived at the beach.

“Qiong, I recognize that’s Yu’s bicycle on the road.”

Could it be that You was hit by a car while on your way to school and then thrown into the sea?

This woman, whose breasts were far more developed than those of Kasugano Sora and Amatsume Akira, revealed his most horrifying suspicion.

Furthermore, they focused their attention on Amamiya Etsumiko, clearly identifying her as the murderer.

Amamiya Etsuko also felt the woman's gaze, which left her speechless. Were all the people in this village this weird?

"If I wanted to destroy the evidence, I wouldn't destroy one body alone."

They should both be destroyed by me, since they were eyewitnesses.

"Maybe you were planning to do this, and then I found out."

"Ying, Qiong, you two go to the highway now. I'll stop this woman. Also, I need to go to Shanghai to check on You."

Yorihime Nao truly believed that Amamiya Etsuko was the murderer, but she was willing to protect Kasugano Sora and Amamiya Akira during their retreat, and even wanted to go into the sea to check on Kasugano Yu's situation, so Amamiya Akira and Kasugano Sora did not blame her.

After saying this, Yorihime Nao wanted to touch him, but her hand was immediately blocked by Amamiya Etsuko.

"You outsider, you're really wicked! My voice is very sharp."
