I'm doing abstract animation

Yumiko Miura is one of the key figures in their group, representing the female side, while Hayato Hayama represents the male side.

And they knew that Yumiko Miura wasn't someone who was easy to befriend...

Even though they had seen Miura Yumiko visiting Yuki Risa a few days ago, they didn't think much of it, assuming there must be some special reason behind it.

Now that Miura Yumiko has disappeared, those within their circle are unaware, but Yuki Osamu, who is outside the circle, knows...

"No, I was just asking out of curiosity..." Hayama Hayato looked at Yuuki Ri with some curiosity: "Yuuki-kun, are you and Yumiko dating?"

Ebina Himina: "???"

She looked at Ye Shan in shock.

Ye Shan's voice wasn't quiet, and it immediately caused a huge uproar in the silent classroom.

"Huh? Miura and that transfer student..."

"Hasn't Miura always liked Hayama?"

"Wow, that's so exciting!"

…………

A rustling sound came from all around, and Yuuki couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He looked at Ye Shan meaningfully and said, "I said, hasn't Youlemei always liked you?"

Ye Shan's eye twitched, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart: "Haha, is there such a thing?"

He awkwardly scratched his head, somewhat regretting his actions, but he couldn't resist taking advantage of such a good opportunity...

"Yes, she has never hidden the fact that she likes you, has she?" Yuki sneered. "If you don't believe me, look at the blond guy next to you."

Ye Shan subconsciously looked at his friend beside him.

Tobe Sho turned his head away somewhat awkwardly: "Don't call me Number Two Yellow Hair, you jerk... But Hayama, it's obvious that Miura likes you, right? I thought you had already tacitly agreed to be with her..."

Hayama: "…………"

If you're not a brother, then you're on my side, right?

His eye twitched, then he sighed: "It was my fault, but... I already have someone I like."

Since he had been found out, he simply admitted it.

"I have someone I like, but Miura's pursuit... to be honest, it's a bit of a hassle for me, so I'm sorry."

He bowed deeply to Yuki Risa.

He didn't explain why he apologized, but several people who knew him well knew why.

Ebina Himina: "..."

Yuuki waved her hand impatiently: "Keep those words to U-Love-Me. I have no interest in getting involved in your childish game. Alright, I'm going to play arcade games. Get out of the way!"

Playing arcade games is just playing video games, you bastard!

And isn't this even more childish than our pretend play?!

The classmates watching the drama couldn't help but internally complain.

What exactly is going on with this transfer student?

This person seems so awkward, not like a Japanese person at all...

Everyone was criticizing Yuki, except for one girl who quietly pushed up her glasses.

'Something terrible has happened, Yumiko. This time, your relationship is really over...'

Book 1: Chapter Thirty-Four - The Beginning of the Finale

The passage of time was beyond Miura Yumiko's imagination.

Two months passed after that heavy rain.

For the past two months, the three people and the dog have lived a monotonous life, monitoring Sagawa, going down the mountain to buy ingredients, and going back up the mountain to continue monitoring Sagawa.

But the atmosphere had subtly changed, seeming more vibrant than before...

The sky was overcast that day, and it looked like it was about to rain.

"I'm going down the mountain."

Miura Yumiko casually said something to Kuroda, who was lying down to keep watch, and to the fool playing around nearby, before heading down the mountain.

"Mom, I'll go with you."

The fool hurriedly got up and followed behind her with a silly grin.

“I already told you to call me 'older sister'…” Miura Yumiko sighed, then looked up at the sky: “Alright, it looks like it’s going to rain, so you can hurry up if you come along.”

Today was shopping day again. Normally, if it were just Kuroda and Miura, one shopping trip would last a week. But with the idiot and the dog added, we have to go shopping every two days. Especially the idiot, whose appetite is simply astonishing.

The two followed the path down the mountain and arrived safely at the old woman in the village who was exchanging supplies.

"Heh, now even idiots are following you guys."

The old woman smiled as she watched the mentally challenged man pacing in circles by the roadside: "Well, well, he's a pitiful man too..."

After counting the ingredients, Miura Yumiko looked at them with some confusion: "Grandma has prepared a lot of food today."

They didn't have any specific prices for food; it all depended on how much their mother-in-law gave them. But the money never decreased. Usually, their mother-in-law's contributions were quite reasonable, but today, Miura Yumiko noticed that the food seemed a bit too much.

"Consider it me doing a good deed; after all, I've watched that idiot grow up."

Yumiko Miura nodded, not refusing the kindness, and told the fool to carry the food before starting their journey back to the mountaintop.

As he passed the foot of the mountain, he glanced at the wooden house in Sagawa, surrounded by a tall fence; that bastard still hadn't come out.

Miura Yumiko was speechless. That bastard had been very well-behaved lately, spending the rest of his time holed up in his fenced house, except for going out to do some farm work every day.

'When will this ever end...?'

She couldn't help but lament inwardly. She had been in this godforsaken place for almost half a year, yet she had no clue how to punish Sagawa.

"Butterfly!"

The fool, carrying the bag, followed behind Miura Yumiko. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he was drawn to a pair of fluttering butterflies. He couldn't help but follow in their direction, while Miura Yumiko was completely oblivious, preoccupied with figuring out how to deal with Sagawa.

'This can't go on. We have to find a way to get rid of Sagawa completely.'

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with Sagawa, a familiar dark figure suddenly flashed through the woods on her left.

She paused for a moment, then immediately hid behind a large tree and quietly peeked out from behind it.

"It's Sagawa!" Her pupils dilated violently. "How is this possible? That bastard stayed in his fenced-off hut all morning, how could he possibly be here?!"

She watched in disbelief as Sagawa swaggered into the depths of the dense forest on the left. Gritting her teeth, she prepared to send the idiot back to inform Kuroda, but when she turned around, the idiot was nowhere to be found!

Miura Yuko: "..."

She was a little speechless. That's the downside of being an idiot; people often just disappear while walking. She immediately realized that this might be an opportunity.

That bastard Sagawa is too cautious; he's never given them any chance. But she accidentally stumbled upon him today, and maybe she can discover his secret. And what is Sagawa's secret?

Yumiko Miura really knows what she's doing...

She thought for a moment, then took out her phone from her pocket, switched it to camera mode, and secretly followed them.

Miura Yumiko had never been to the dense forest on the left; she had previously run out from the dense forest on the right.

She tried to keep her movements as quiet as possible and carefully ventured deeper into the dense forest.

It's thanks to her time living like a wild man that her wilderness survival skills have improved several levels; otherwise, she would definitely have been discovered.

She carefully observed the traces left in the dense forest and cautiously followed the direction Zuochuan had taken. Soon she noticed something was amiss.

'How come there's such a large open space here?'

After advancing about a hundred meters, a large clearing suddenly appeared in the dense forest. The surrounding trees seemed to have been uprooted, with no tree stumps, and the ground was covered with weeds that were ankle-deep.

'This place was cleared out by human intervention.'

Yumiko Miura quickly deduced the origin of this clearing. The weeds in the dense forest were at least knee-high, but in this clearing, the weeds were only ankle-deep. It was impossible for them to grow like this naturally.

She carefully observed everything in the open space, and a spot in the center of the open space caught her attention.

'That looks like a hole?'

The surrounding area was full of weeds, except for a dark, round opening.

The sky seemed even more gloomy. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, but the dim environment felt almost like it was past six o'clock.

Shall we go and take a look?

Yumiko Miura gritted her teeth.

go with!

'Anyway, I won't actually die; this is just a game.'

She comforted herself with this thought, though she knew her actions were definitely wrong. What she should have done was to retreat quickly and notify Kuroda or gather a large group of villagers to investigate.

But Yumiko Miura had her own thoughts.

First, this 'game' has dragged on for far too long, and she worries whether she will still have the motivation to complete this obsession if things continue like this. In fact, she has already vaguely noticed something amiss with Kuroda. Second, she is afraid that as soon as she runs out to call for help, Sagawa will cover it up, after all, that bastard is too cautious.

She carefully observed her surroundings but did not find Sagawa. So she stood up and quickly took a step to the center of the open space.

"It really is a cave!"

A look of understanding flashed in Miura Yumiko's eyes. She had figured out why Sagawa could stay at home all day long. This hole was most likely a secret passage connecting to his house!

'I need to go back and tell Kuroda about this quickly.'

After quickly snapping a few photos with her phone, she decisively ran out of the dense forest.

She vaguely felt that this secret passage was of great significance.

But just as she was about to take her first step, she found that her right foot was being grabbed.

Her left foot was already raised, but her right foot couldn't step out. The inertia caused her to lose her balance, and after a scream, she fell heavily to the ground.

"Young lady, could you please give me your phone?"

The honest voice, like a devil's whisper, rang in Miura Yumiko's ears.

She jolted awake and raised her left foot to kick behind her.

call!

She didn't kick anything, but the restraint on her right foot was gone. She rolled to the side, then bent her leg and pushed off the ground, standing up straight.

"Huhuhu..."

These movements would have been unthinkable for her before, but now, aside from being a little tired, she performed them with incredible ease...

"S-Kawa!"

Yumiko Miura looked at the person in front of her and gritted her teeth as she uttered those two words one by one.

Sagawa scratched his head in confusion: "Little girl, do you know me?"

“Of course, that left a very deep impression…” Miura Yumiko sneered, but her body silently retreated: “You murderer!”

Sagawa looked even more puzzled: "Little girl, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

His face was incredibly honest and kind, making people think he was a kind and honest man at first glance. To be honest, he was more likely to win people's favor than Kuroda, who had a full beard and a wild man's image.

Unfortunately, he was facing Yumiko Miura in her second playthrough.

In particular, Yumiko Miura died at his hands in her first playthrough.

"Stop pretending, you bastard!" Miura Yumiko pointed at him and cursed, "Murder, cannibalism, how can there be such a disgusting bastard like you in this world?!"

"A bastard like you should have been strangled to death by your father when you were a child. Living is a waste of social resources. After all, an animal like you doesn't deserve to live in this world!"

A barrage of profanities erupted from Miura Yumiko's mouth like a laser gun, its attack power quite formidable. Even Sagawa, who was pretending to be an honest man, gradually darkened his face.

That's incredibly vulgar!

"Young lady, what do you think will happen if you provoke me under these circumstances?"
