Lonely Rock for the Blind.

He then took several steps back.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Kita Ikuyo's pupils trembled violently.

"sorry!!!!"

Then he turned around and ran away.

Chapter 223 Victims

On the snow, Nekoyashiki Haru lay blankly on the ground.

It was icy cold, a chill that even a down jacket couldn't keep out.

Splash, splash.

Stepping on the soft snow, Dahei Yin exhaled a puff of white mist.

"Are you okay?"

"…fine…"

Haru Nekoyashiki answered.

Dahei Yin sighed.

"I wanted to stop it, but it was too late..."

"It's ok."

Nekoyashiki Haru's voice was unexpectedly calm.

"Where is Yudai?"

"They ran away."

"Issue Otoko said, looking at the empty place in the distance."

"…Yeah?"

Nekoyashiki Haru crossed her arms over her chest.

Daikoku Otoko frowned as she looked at Nekoya Shikiharu.

"I said, she pushed you down and forcibly kissed you... why are you so calm?"

Dahei Yin asked in surprise.

"She's impulsive."

Nekoyashiki Haru then calmly continued.

"I know that. It's no wonder you guys are impulsive at your age."

Daikoku Oto crouched down and poked Nekoyashiki Haru's cheek with her finger.

"I wanted to ask...aren't you feeling any emotional fluctuation at all right now?"

"...What do you mean?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head toward the source of the sound.

"Angry, sad, surprised, or even secretly pleased? After all, Kita is indeed a beautiful girl, but you probably don't really feel that way?"

Dahei Yin sighed.

"You're so calm, I have no idea what you're thinking."

"...I think about a lot of things."

Nekoyashiki Haru sat up.

"A lot."

Haru Nekoyashiki's hand touched the pick on the ground.

He arrested him.

"... "

After a moment of silence, Nekoyashiki Haru made her request.

"Please pick it up for me."

"…Um."

Okoro nodded and began to help Nekoyashiki Haru pick up the pick.

After putting the pick into Nekoyashiki Haru's pocket, Ooku Otoko pulled Nekoyashiki Haru up.

"So now that we've met, it's time to go back."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru stood still and didn't move.

"?"

Daikoku Otoko looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with a puzzled expression.

He remained calm, as if he had suddenly hardened his skin.

"clear?"

Dahei Yin tilted his head.

"Yu Dai will be back in a little while."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"what?"

Dahei Yin was stunned.

“Yu Dai ran away, but she’ll be back soon. She might already be running this way.”

"…ha?"

Daikoku Oto was starting to have a bit of a hunch about what Nekoyashiki Haru was talking about.

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head.

"I was pushed down because of impulse, I ran away because of fear, and I will run back because of worry."

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

"Everyone's like that..."

"...Are you going to wait for her here?"

"Do not…"

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

Dahei Yin was suddenly stunned.

"She wants to know if I'm alright, but she's probably also afraid to see me because of what she just did..."

Nekoyashiki Haru took out her phone and started operating it step by step.

An emotionless, mechanical female voice kept coming from the phone.

Dahei Yin was watching from the side.

Cold things all gathered together at this moment.

"... "

Haru Nekoyashiki was holding her phone.

While editing the message, he pressed his phone tightly against the screen.

It was pressed down tightly, pressed down hard, just like his heart was constricted at that moment.

He suddenly put down his phone.

The large black voice behind him had already raised its head.

Did you tell her you were safe and sound?

"...I told them."

"So... shall we go home now?"

Dahei Yin asked.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent.

...

……

.........

"Haa...haa...haa..."

Under the witness of the streetlights and snowflakes, Kita Ikuyo's steps slowly became unsteady.

She gasped for breath, inhaling the cold air from outside into her lungs, and exhaling the carbon dioxide from her body heat as white mist.

The girl's mind replayed the moment she pushed Nekoyashiki Haru down...

The scene of me bending down and forcefully kissing him replayed in my mind...

But... at this moment, I can no longer feel any sweetness or warmth in those memories.

Only bitterness and coldness...

What did I do...?

Her steps gradually came to a stop.
