I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

It was her mother who came forward, staring at her.

"Let's go."

"…Where are you going?"

"..."

Her mother reached out and grabbed her hand, dragging her stiffly towards the door - during this process, at some point, Hazuki Reiya seemed to finally realize what was going to happen.

The color suddenly drained from her face.

Chapter 259 If Keisuke dies, it's all your fault

On the streets of Kyoto at night, the street lights and the cold moonlight cast faint shadows on the road.

The crowd gradually thinned out, the temperature grew colder, the shops along the street closed their doors, and the lights became dimmer.

Ye Yue Li Ya stepped on the shadows step by step, walking aimlessly, not knowing where he was going.

"Thump-thump-thump" the slow footsteps sounded in my ears along with the sound of the wind.

Even if I ran away, where can I go now?

She lowered her head and stared at the shadow, and suddenly, the shadow turned into her mother's gloomy face, her mouth opening and closing, uttering dry sounds.

"Your father has a friend."

"Help us, introductions."

"...I'm very satisfied, so."

"Go over tonight."

"..."

Broken and unrecognizable sentences, like pieces of broken rusty iron, burst out of her mother's mouth and passed through her body, heart and lungs.

This was the feeling Ye Yue Li Ya experienced when she was walking in the dim corridor and heading downstairs with her arm tightly grasped.

Her heart seemed to stop beating, the flow of blood clotted, and when she opened her mouth, her lungs were blocked by the cold air she inhaled.

His body was so stiff that he was being pulled stiffly.

No matter what, she could not have imagined that such a thing would happen. She could not understand it and could not comprehend it. The person who said this was actually her mother.

It was not until I walked downstairs and outside that I felt the cold wind blowing the sweat on my face and the moisture from the shower on my body. A black sedan appeared in front of me, and my thoughts were awakened by the cold wind.

She realized what would happen to her if she continued like this.

Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

She struggled to break free from her mother's arms and ran away.

Her mother tried to hold her back, but failed.

As I ran, the sound of the wind in my ears became louder and my face became stiff.

At that moment, her mother's dry, sharp, hysterical voice cut through the night and chased after the wind: "Come back! Don't leave!"

"Catch her, go catch her, you!" This sentence was shouted to the driver who got out of the car.

"The boss said before that we have to volunteer - what is this?"

"She volunteered, catch her!"

"..."

The distance between them was widened, and the voice of the following driver could no longer be heard, but her mother's shrill voice was still chasing her.

"Go quickly! Go!"

"..."

"Why not go!? Why!?"

"..."

"He ran away! He ran away!"

"..."

"Crazy? You are crazy!"

"..."

"Hatsuki Reiya—come back!"

"..."

She lowered her head and walked faster and faster. The sound of the wind filled her ears. Finally, she escaped from her mother's voice.

But...what can we do now?

Ye Yueli was at a loss.

In December in Kyoto, the little bit of sweat that had just appeared from running was quickly blown away and covered my cheeks with coldness.

But deep down, the coolness was even greater.

Betrayal from my mother, such an unimaginable thing, actually happened.

It was like a terrifying nightmare, but what was even scarier was that it was not a dream.

It was as if he was drowning in the water and struggling to his death, but the clapping of his hands could only create useless waves - no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, it was of no use, what had just happened was the fact.

It was so sudden and there was no preparation.

Accidents happen so suddenly that people are at a loss.

On the quiet street at night, Ye Yue Liya walked listlessly, like a walking corpse.

Then, suddenly—

"Buzz!"

A heart-stopping vibration sound came from the pocket of the school uniform.

"Buzz!"

It continued to vibrate and turned into a ringtone.

"..."

Hazuki Reiya stopped.

Amid the continuous ringing of the phone, she reached into her pocket with a cold hand and took out her cell phone.

On the cracked screen, it read: "Mother".

"..."

Standing silently and staring at the screen of my mobile phone, the shrill ringtones rang out in the quiet street, beating my heart.

Ye Yue Li Ya bit her lip and raised the phone with trembling hands that were somewhat weak.

She answered it and put it to her ear.

A deep voice sounded: "Come back."

"..."

"Now."

"..."

Because she quickly lost patience with her silence, the deep voice became sharp again, piercing into her ears through the receiver, piercing her eardrums:

"Hezaki Reiya - do you know what's going on with your father? Do you know? He's dying, dying! Do you know?! What can I do? Working, working, your little money is not enough! He needs money, needs it, do you know? Without this money, he will die!"

“Dead!

The sharp sound changed its tone and became deeper, like a man-eating evil ghost roaring dryly.

"You—now—immediately—"

“All, all, all…”

"..."

The phone hung up and fell to the ground.

Ye Yue Li Ya lost all her strength and squatted on the ground.

She drowned in the deep sea, feeling the painful suffocation, the strong squeezing feeling from all directions, the whistling wind, which turned into a dizzying high-pitched sound... tinnitus.

She opened her mouth and took in big gulps of cold air. Her lungs, stomach, and internal organs were twitching.

"He's going to die!"

The sharp sound pierced into the mind from the ears and lingered in the chaotic brain.

She buried her face in her knees.

……

My feet were numb from squatting, and my tears dried up in the wind, leaving imprints on my face, leaving a burning sensation like needles.

The vision was blurry and I walked unsteadily.

Ye Yue Li Ya walked with one hand on her collar and the other on her wrist.

After walking a few steps, she stopped again and looked back.

On the ground where she had been squatting before, her cell phone was lying there with the screen on.

The light is very obvious at night.

Hazuki Reiya walked over and lowered her head to look at the screen.
