His bodies were completely pressed against hers, his hands were around her waist, and a look of happiness appeared on his face.

This guy... it's really infuriating that he takes it upon himself.

Besides——

"Hachiman, if you try to touch my breasts like you did to Asamura, I will kill you."

Hachiman's hand disappeared into the danger zone at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

"It's nothing. I'm not a boy anyway."

"It has nothing to do with gender, this is my danger zone."

"Hmm - if it's Nanami-senpai, then there's no problem with doing this, right?"

"Of course, because he is the most important person to me."

"By the way, I've never heard Arisu mention his father."

The sudden change of topic gave Arisu a strange feeling.

I don't want to answer questions about this.

Besides, there is no need to answer the other party.

Arisu finally decided to keep silent.

Silence can sometimes solve many problems.

As expected, Hachiman did not continue to mention this plan.

"Um, does Arisu know about that? Asamura has been talking to me about it recently. He seems very anxious."

"That thing?"

The other party's sudden change in tone gave Arisu a special sense of crisis.

Hachiman moved his body towards this side, and the chair now bore the weight of two people.

The voice was lowered.

"Arisu should know, right? The black cat named 'Taromaru' disappeared recently."

"Really? Maybe he got lost because of playing around. Something similar happened before because he didn't come back for two days because of playing around."

"But, it's been a week this time. Asamura is very worried about Taroumaru and has been mentioning it a lot recently."

"perhaps--"

Arisu turned his face away and looked out the window.

"perhaps?"

"No, this is just my guess. After all, it's just a cat. Once it leaves the convenience store, it will encounter various dangers. Stray dogs, cars, humans, these are all potential threats. In the final analysis, the store manager should not have left the cat in the convenience store. Home is the safest place."

"Yes, that's true, but since he hasn't come back for so long, there's a high probability that Taromaru... is dead, right?"

"Well, I'm not sure about this kind of thing."

Taromaru is dead.

I witnessed it struggling on the water for ten minutes, and finally it sank to the bottom due to exhaustion.

Arisu, who knew this very well, had a cold expression on his face.

To monopolize Nanami's love——it's nothing to go to this extent.

Everything is just to protect the current happy life.

The starting point was all for Nanami. After knowing all this, he would definitely choose to forgive when faced with such a thing.

"How pitiful. I really like Taromaru."

Feeling frustrated, Hachiman moved towards this side again.

Even though she already occupied most of the positions.

"Hey, I'm about to be pushed down by you. By the way, shouldn't Hachiman lose weight? You've been eating a lot lately."

"Oh - now that I think about it, I do like all kinds of high-calorie foods recently."

"I see. Hmm - well, let's go for a five-kilometer run now. Hachiman seems to have a lot of free time anyway."

"Eh? Um--I suddenly remembered that I still have math homework to finish. Excuse me, I'll take my leave now."

Hachiman stood up and left his seat in embarrassment.

Looking at her back, the curve of Arisu's mouth became more obvious.

What is this guy thinking about?

She was the one who came closer at the beginning, but she was the one who retreated at the critical moment.

----------

After a drowsy math class, Arisu began to tidy up his messy desk.

There is no need to go to the convenience store to work today. After all, there are clear regulations in these areas - as a part-time student, the working hours per week must not exceed the prescribed time.

We must make good use of the limited rest time.

"Sugar-chan, what are you going to do?"

Neighbor Asamura was also experiencing the same 'rest time'.

"I plan to go back early. I haven't done any housework properly in a while."

"Sugar-chan is really hardworking. Well, I can help too. If I go back too early, I won't know what to do. Besides, I can ask Hachiman to come along."

Please help——

Arisu glanced at Asamura who suddenly made a strange request.

perhaps--

Are you doubting? Asamura.

Because of the disappearance of 'Taromaru', you noticed something and associated it with other people.

Yeah.

You are being too smart.

"No problem, if you want to go - I'm very welcome to go."

Arisu put on a relaxed attitude and smiled at Asamura.

Even if you search thoroughly, you won't find any clues.

Because the place where 'Taro Maru' disappeared is somewhere you would never expect.

----------

After arriving at the platform by bus and walking for a few minutes, the general outline of the apartment building came into view.

"By the way - I haven't been here since I finished my trip."

"When I think about it, it has indeed been a long time. I really miss the feeling when I first came to Youqi's house."

During the journey, the voices of Hachiman talking to Asamura sounded particularly high-pitched.

If Asamura is acting this way to hide his original thoughts, then you are also a person worthy of special attention.

After all, being able to do this is dangerous.

Just as the three of them were passing the corner of the stairs, Arisu noticed a girl with short red hair appearing not far away.

In the brief moment of eye contact -

Familiar names come to mind.

Yukiko Asami.

——Senior’s younger sister.

Chapter 212 For a Happy Life

"Um! I'm sorry for offending you three earlier!"

The living room was surprisingly quiet.

Yukiko Asami maintained her body bent downward at 90 degrees. In front of her were three people with surprised expressions on their faces.

I haven't seen Yukiko Asami for more than a month, but now she appears in front of me in this posture. The difference between before and after is surprising.

Arisu looked at Asami helplessly, who looked completely different from his previous impression.

"Um... please sit down. Everyone will be embarrassed if you act like this."

"I...what I did before was wrong! I have thought about it in the juvenile detention center, and I will never become someone that my sister hates in the future!"

Juvenile detention center?

Arisu was confused by the aspect she suddenly mentioned.

It turns out that during the time that Asami-san disappeared, she went to that kind of place.

An unexpected point -

Yukiko Yumi-senpai was so harsh towards her only sister that she sent her to that kind of place just because she made a mistake at school.

This is really——

Great.

"Eh? He went to a juvenile detention center?"

Anna Hachiman covered her mouth with a terrified expression as if she had been frightened by something.

As for Asamura's performance——

Like Hachiman, his lips opened uncontrollably, surprised by the reality that was before him.

"She had to go to that kind of place just because of a 'bullying incident'. Yukiko-senpai is really strict with her little sister."

Arisu stood up and looked at Asami, who had been bowing since the beginning.
