The lights of the convenience store can be seen on my way back.

I arrived at the front of the convenience store. It’s been a long time since I ran so seriously...oh since the Temptation of the Evil God. I am having difficulty in breathing.

“Well...yeah where is Sayuki?”

When I looked inside the store. I saw my sister all alone in the store except the clerk.

There was no stalker like figure.

My sister seemed to have noticed me and my expression loosened a bit.

I wanted to go inside the store but stopped on seeing her pointing outside.

I pretended to make a phone call on my smartphone to avoid suspicion and turned around slowly.

Is she pointing towards that direction? I went to a corner. Kept my ears on the smartphone and kept an eye on the surroundings.

I don’t know surely because of the dark but it seems there was someone hiding there.

Should I approach and check? Even if I don’t want catch him, I can plan my future measures depending upon his reaction.

“I am near the convenience store. You haven’t picked me up yet? Is it cold?”

I got out to the road while talking in a bright voice.

I was pretending while gradually leaving the convenience store and approaching towards the person. I need to be patient and need to walk in a natural way to avoid suspicion and alert the opponent.

I think if I go further then the figure of the person will become clear...

The person in the corner ran away in the opposite direction even though I was walking carefully with restrained feelings.

Oh, shit he escaped. What am I going to do now? It’s better to make a chase and clear this situation.

My smartphone starts ringing as I was about to dash. When I checked the screen, it was an incoming call from my sister.

“Don’t chase because it would be dangerous.”

I listened to my sister voice who seems to be about to cry, this changed my mind and returned to the convenience store.

My younger sister stopped me with such a desperate voice, probably recalling the time when we were driven away an old stalker.

......When my sister was still in junior-high, I was a college student. I couldn’t tolerate the stalker so I caught the man who hiding without thinking.

The other party was not a classmate of my sister but was someone who had caught up my sister by accident.

Speaking of sense of Justice, it sounded good and I was sweetened because my opponent was a kid in junior high, 10 years younger than me. I can win if he is alone.

When he was seriously screaming at the stalker, the kid took out a concealed knife.

At that time I freaked out.

I was only thinking about how to run at that moment. I wanted to run away even though my sister was behind me. Just without thinking about it I tried to escape.

I don’t remember what I said but probably it was a pitiful reply.

I still remember how my sister looked when she was crying.

The other party sharply cut open my belly with his knife where I couldn’t avoid it at all. I still remember clearly the pain and sensation of a foreign substance entering my body.

And before I noticed, I was already rushed to the hospital.

The bleeding was severe but fortunately the internal organs seemed unhurt and recovered quite quickly even after some injuries.

At that time just before losing my cool.., my sister’s face that had been crying seemed to have revived again.

Assuming the stalker to be a same kind of person, who can protect his sister if he were to be injured seriously again.

I do not have any means to counter the blade. What am I going to do if I don’t have any weapons in my hands.

If I was stabbed and died and the stalker got arrested, it might be a good solution but I still got the villagers. I cant be irresponsible and abandon them.

“And I don’t want to disillusioned again.”

The wound on my belly still remains.

While touching the old wounds gently from top of my clothes, I rushed to my sister who was standing at the convenience store.

“Oni-sama. I am glad that you came to pick me up, but I told you not to mess up.”

“Since it is late night. Keep your voice down.”

While deliberately acting oblivious I extended my hand towards my sister.

She inflated her cheeks and faced me. A gesture which I was familiar with since I was a child. We have grown but it still hasn’t changed.

“Let’s go home.”

“Yeah..well, thank you Oni-sama”

“You are welcome.”
