"..."

As if taken aback by Eriri's sudden anger, the voice did not respond.

The slender fingers tore at the clothes with force, dissolving the collapsing body, and climbed up tremblingly.

In a pair of eyes soaked with tears, there was no depraved despair, nor twisted emotions, but only endless rage.

It hurts. My body hurts.

Just breathing made me feel like I was about to break apart.

Ying Lili endured the pain, gasping for breath, raised her head, and stared at the mysterious gaze in the distorted colors.

With trembling, cracked lips, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out words mixed with anger:

"You are not allowed to...my dear friend...you are not allowed to insult him!"

I am the only one who is useless, I am the only one who is immature, and I am the only one who deserves retribution because I am selfish.

He has always been gentle, always tolerant of my mistakes, and always spared no effort to help me when I was in trouble.

He never complained and never felt dissatisfied or annoyed with me.

I'm sorry for always causing you trouble.

I'm sorry I'm always so clumsy.

I'm sorry, I have always been selfish and let myself, who is so useless, depend on you, my "best friend".

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry...

That's right, I'm the only useless person.

Gentle you are innocent, you have done nothing wrong, just like usual, you always manage everything well.

and so……

"Don't distort my feelings towards that guy Mikiya, as just an outsider!"

Click!

Using all her strength, the dark space shattered as Eriri let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Consciousness instantly returned to clarity.

The noise of the hall came into my ears again, along with the puzzled voice of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Ugh—Ugh!"

The feeling of vomiting rose up in my throat again.

Ying Lili stood there in a daze, bloodshot instantly spread across the whites of her eyes, and she covered her mouth and began to dry heave.

"Sawamura-san?! What's wrong with you..." Seeing Eriri's face suddenly turn pale and she began to bend over and retch, the calmness on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He quickly supported the staggering Eriri, but before he could finish his anxious question, he was interrupted by Eriri's hand.

"I'm fine... maybe I got heatstroke." Ying Lili wiped the corner of her mouth, raised her head with difficulty, and forced an ugly smile, "I'm so sorry, it seems I have to go back early today."

"What are you talking about? You look like..."

"Please, Kasumigaoka." Eriri lowered her head and spoke almost pleadingly from her trembling lips, "Don't tell Mikiya."

After saying that, Eriri suddenly burst out with a strange force, and she broke free from Kasumigaoka, then ran out of the stadium without looking back.

"Sawamura-kun? Wait, I..." Kasumigaoka stretched out her hand to grab Eriri, but when she came to her senses, the originally frail young lady had disappeared.

The hand deep inside slowly lowered itself, and the unexpected situation made Kasumigaoka dazed.

When she came to her senses, her first reaction was to take out her cell phone and start contacting Izumi Kan'aya.

……

“I haven’t received any calls here.”

After listening to the brief narration, Izumi Kan'ya frowned and looked at his mobile phone.

According to Kasumigaoka Utaha's description, the call was connected, but no one answered.

It was for this reason that the girl had anxiously searched for Mikiya in various venues, and had only just found him now.

“Huh—never mind. Let’s not dwell on this issue at this time. Let’s find Eriri first.”

"But, what did Eriri say just now?..."

"Ah, senior, you are here. I finally found you." A voice suddenly broke in, sounding very excited.

Both Izumi Kan'ye and Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned at the same time.

Kasumigaoka turned her head and looked behind her, and saw Tomoya Aki jogging towards her with a surprised expression on his face.

"Ren Li-kun..."

"I finally found you. It took a lot of effort." Amami Tomoya, who didn't blush or breathe heavily, pretended to be in trouble and said, "By the way, where is Eriri? Have you seen her?"

"Do you have anything to do with Sawamura-san?" asked Kasumigaoka Utaha expressionlessly.

"Ah, that was just now. Eriri and I were talking and suddenly ran away, so I couldn't finish my sentence." Aki Tomoya complained while gesticulating with his hands. "Speaking of which, senior, have you seen Eriri's work this time? I was really surprised. I didn't expect Eriri to have such great improvement."

Kaka.

What a crisp sound, Knight-kun, is that the sound of a clenched fist?

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly, stared at the excited expression on Tomoya Aki's face in front of her, and took a deep breath.

"Senior, I'm going to find Eriri first, we'll talk later." Izumi Kan was too lazy to argue with someone and said in a deep voice.

"Well, please."

"Tsk, you're here too, Izumi Kan'ya. Wait, did you just say Eriri?" Tomoya Aki, who had just noticed Kan'ya standing next to him, instantly showed displeasure on his face, but when he heard Kan'ya mention Eriri, he immediately reacted.

However, Gan had no intention of paying any attention to the other party. He lowered his head and turned away.

"Hey wait, you guy, we just mentioned Eriri, don't you know where she is?" Seeing that Kaneya ignored him, Aki Tomoya shouted loudly, and at the same time walked around Kasumigaoka to reach out to grab Kaneya's shoulder, but...

"..." Gan didn't say anything and turned around to look at the other person.

It was freezing cold, a life-threatening battle with enemies: twisted bodies, heroic spirits, evil spirits... The chilling cold emanated from those ink-black eyes and instantly enveloped the chattering Aki Tomoya.

"Ah! You, what are you doing!" After being glared at coldly by Kanye, Tomoya Amami took several steps back like a frightened mouse.

The hostility almost turned into reality, causing goose bumps all over his body. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and he spoke tremblingly.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing behind him, couldn't help rubbing her arms when she saw Izumi Kan'aya's grim gaze.

"Huh..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Calm down, calm down. Although I really want to punch this guy, this matter has little to do with him and I shouldn't vent my anger on others.

When he opened his eyes again, the coldness in Gan Ye's eyes was gone, and only indifference remained.

Ignoring Tomoya Aki who definitely wouldn't dare to continue to stop him, Kan'ye left without looking back.

And Kasumigaoka looked at Kan'ye's back, paused for a second, then took a step and followed his steps to leave.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

"Ha... An Yi, I really don't have time to play house with you now, so please don't follow me any further." After saying that, she didn't stay any longer, shook her hair, turned around and left.

……

"Observer, how is Eriri doing now?"

"It's fairly stable. After all, I haven't seen you, Mr. Human yet. It shouldn't break down so quickly."

"Understood. Please prepare for teleportation."

Izumi Kan'aya said seriously.

With a cold expression and an extremely serious attitude, even the observers who usually teased him stopped saying anything extra.

Run through the crowd as quickly as possible and prepare to leave the hall.

However, at this moment, he stopped again, and the indifference on his face instantly disappeared, turning into helplessness.

In front of him stood a lovely girl.

"Ah, you're finally back. We talked for a long time, Mikiya-kun." Shinjo Akane was looking around boredly and immediately spotted Izumi Mikiya walking quickly in this direction. She approached him with a happy smile on her face.

"Where is that senior from before? Has she left?" Akane Shinjo curiously poked her head behind Mikiya, but did not see any figure of Kasumigaoka.

The smile on her face was still bright and cheerful. Even though Ganye didn't respond, she took the initiative to grab Ganye's wrist, trying to pull him to continue walking somewhere else.

"Okay, forget about that. I just saw something very interesting. Let's go take a look together."

The girl pulled at his arm.

But this time, Kanye's body didn't move at all.

"Huh? What's wrong, Kanye-kun?" Akane Shinjo turned her head and blinked in confusion.

"Sorry, Xiao Qian, let's stop here today. I suddenly have something urgent to do." Looking at Xin Tiao Qian who still had an expectant smile on her face and tilted her head to look at him, Gan Ye said in a deep voice.

"Eh? Why is it so sudden..." Shinjo Akane obviously didn't react.

"I'm sorry." That was all Gan Ye could say. "I'll make amends to you later."

"Even if you say that, you clearly promised to do it all day long..." Shinjo Akane lowered her head, but her hand was still holding onto Kan's, "Is it related to your 'friend' just now?"

Just when Gan Ye was about to say something else and apologize sincerely, his wrist suddenly loosened.

Xin Tiao Qian raised her head, with a soft smile on her face:

"I'm just kidding~ It's okay, go ahead, Mikiya-kun."

"grateful."

Without saying anything more, Gan Ye nodded and quickly passed by Xin Tiao Qian.

The girl turned around, waved her hand gently at his back, with an understanding smile on her face, and said goodbye gently, until... Kanye's figure completely disappeared from her sight.

He lowered his head, and the deceptive softness on his face disappeared in an instant, and his pair of purple-red eyes trembled violently.

The doll in his hand was twisted and deformed under his white palm.

Cold words came out from trembling lips:

"What is this...ah."

Chapter 259: I'm right here

This is in a small alley very close to Akihabara.

From a long time ago, when Ying Lili sneaked out alone to shop, she would go through this alley to avoid any possible exposure and then go home.

It’s a pity that after a certain time, she never walked through here again.

Yes, it was after that time in junior high school when I met a boy who took a shortcut.

"Ha ha--"

Heavy breathing, filled with unbearable pain, came from the alley.

Due to CM, today, Akihabara, which was originally regarded as the holy land of the second dimension, has become a lot quieter.

In addition, there are very few people passing by here, so it seems particularly quiet.

Apart from the occasional car whizzing past on the street outside the alley, Eriri could even hear her own violently beating heart.

“Ahem… In the end, I couldn’t help but ask for help. As expected, I am really useless…”

Curled up against the wall, hugging her knees, Eriri looked at the dimming screen of her cell phone and laughed at herself.

In fact, she knew that this situation could not be solved independently by her.

However, even so, she didn't want to take the initiative to speak and go to Izumi Kan'ei for help.

I endured it, endured it... the urge to vomit kept coming up, and my heart felt like it was being torn apart by pain. Was that the feeling of being twisted inside?

Really, I was thinking that if I just endured it, maybe I could get through it.

Ying Lili lowered her head, her red eyes that kept flashing were filled with grayness.
