People are teaching, and future daughters are helping

"I've seen you several times with your classmates. Although you act like a hot girl, don't forget the type of girls in my class are basically hot girls."

“But you are still different from them.”

"And after observing you a few more times, I'll confirm that you're not really a hottie."

"Human instinct tends to make people imitate things they are afraid of, because it makes them feel at ease. So, you who are pretending to be a hot girl, have actually been bullied by hot girls, right?" Baiyin said.

"But how do you know so clearly..."

Karuizawa was still a little bit incredulous and looked at him in confusion.

"Isn't that natural?"

Shirogane shrugged and said seemingly casually, "There are only so many ways to bully, so you can guess it with just a guess."

In fact, I felt relieved and thought that I had successfully covered up the lie.

"No, it's more than that!"

But Karuizawa suddenly became excited and stood up from the ground. "It's impossible to know so clearly by just guessing. It's more like you are in the situation yourself. So, either you have bullied others before."

Sakura covered her mouth again as she thought of another possibility.

As expected, Karuizawa spoke next.

"Or, you've been bullied before!"

Karuizawa's face was full of confidence, and even a little excited, a little excited because he had met someone with the same suffering.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Baiyin fell silent, seeming to want to say something but unable to.

So, Karuizawa, is your imagination so rich?

For Baiyin, his junior high school life was all about studying. He lived in his own solitary world, rarely interacting with his classmates. So, he had no idea if he was actually being bullied or isolated.

just.

Whether Shirogane believes it or not, Karuizawa Megumi has already believed it.

After all, she had already formed a preconceived notion, and even if Shirogane told the truth, she would take it as his excuse.

As a result, the girl who was originally shivering in the corner as if she had been bullied and humiliated, looked at Shirogane with a much softer look in her eyes.

"..."

Suddenly the script went awry and turned out like this. Shirogane looked at Karuizawa Megumi speechlessly and sighed, "As long as you're happy."

"it is as expected."

Karuizawa's body trembled slightly, but this time it was because of excitement. There was a strange blush on her fair face because of excitement.

Perhaps it was because of her past experiences that she cared more.

On the one hand, I try my best to hide and avoid the past pain, but on the other hand, I often think about it and the shadow is hanging over me.

In this situation, she will want a support more and more.

And it would be best if it was someone who had the same experience as her.

Obviously, Shirogane has been regarded as one of her kind.

"Um, Shirogane-kun."

Karuizawa's face turned rosy because of excitement, no longer pale as before, as if all the shadows had disappeared.

But in reality, she was just using another method to evade and cover up.

She doesn't dare to face the shadow of the past, so she will never be truly brave.

"Ok?"

Shirogane looked at the girl in confusion, thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

The script was distorted by the other party, and her mentality changed.

So how can we change the topic back to make her understand that she once risked her life to resist, and she actually doesn’t need to be afraid of bullying anymore.

But the abuser should be afraid of her.

She has done a great job.

"You, how do you know that I was once fatally injured and on the verge of death?"

However, Karuizawa raised his little face and looked at Shirogane with a little nervousness and anticipation.

She had never told anyone about this, but people are very contradictory. For example, the more they keep a secret, the more they want others to discover their secret.

Just like Kushida, she tried hard to keep her friends' secrets, but in the end she couldn't help but expose them online. As a result, she was discovered, which led to the collapse of an empire.

The same goes for Karuizawa.

But she took the initiative to bring the topic here, which made Baiyin look at her with a new respect.

Because I thought the script was distorted, but it turned out to be the same.

Is she the heroine?

So strong.

But now the other party has listed him as someone who was also bullied, so he should just maintain this character for now.

So Baiyin said, "Because I also fought back."

"To be able to disguise oneself as the most detestable abuser is obviously a desperate act."

"So I suspect you may have put up a very strong resistance, but also suffered a great setback." Baiyin said, and then showed a silent expression.

"When you and Sato and the others were together, you always subconsciously kept your distance. Furthermore, you were almost always facing sideways towards them. And when you were in contact, you subconsciously protected your lower abdomen. Therefore, I concluded that the wound was there."

"Is that so?"

Although she was treated as a background, Sakura-san was already completely immersed in it. She nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Shirogane-san with surprise in her eyes.

And Karuizawa was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

In her excitement, the girl even put her tender white hands on the waistband of her pants.

Then, he reached out and lifted up——

"what--"

Sakura screamed as she watched the girl's actions.

It wasn't because Karuizawa pulled up her skirt to reveal her panties, but because she pulled up her wet shirt to reveal a long and ugly scar on her fair and flat belly.

The scar spanned almost her entire lower abdomen, as if it had cut her entire body in half.

The uneven scars were like irregular obstacles entrenched on the fair skin, adding a hint of flaw to the originally beautiful body.

It can’t be said to be ugly, but it is inexplicably heartbreaking.

"Ugly, isn't it?"

Karuizawa Hui's hands, holding the hem of her clothes, trembled slightly. Her pretty face was already covered with tears, but she still looked at Shirogane-san firmly and stubbornly, "I also tried to resist..."

Karuizawa choked up and repeated, "I resisted, but, but..."

"But this almost cost you your life."

Shirogane sighed and shook his head slightly. He already knew what Karuizawa wanted to say and said slowly, "I think this matter has definitely attracted the attention of the school. After all, it's a living life."

Karuizawa nodded gently and shed tears silently.

"Luckily, although it was life-threatening, you survived."

Baiyin continued to speak, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Unfortunately, you survived."

"Eh?"

Sakura was stunned. Isn't it good enough to survive? Why would you say such a thing?

But she didn't understand, Karuizawa's body was shaking even more violently.

"Because you survived, you need to continue to endure the bullying from those people. Because you are still alive, the school administration, considering the impact of this incident on the school's reputation, decided to make a big deal out of a small matter. So instead of holding the bullies accountable, they asked you to keep silent."

"Because the school knows very well that bullies won't reveal such things on their own. Only you, as a victim, might be unable to endure the endless bullying and expose the incident or even call the police.

The school warned you and your parents that if the incident became public, you would be expelled. But as compensation, they gave you a long vacation and sent you to this school."

“…No, don’t say that.”

Karuizawa raised her little face, tears streaming down her face, her delicate body trembling slightly.

What he knows, he knows it all.

He knew everything about her.

She hadn't told anyone, but he just knew.

Instead of continuing to speak, Shirogane walked over and squatted down in front of the girl.

“No, don’t look…”

Karuizawa suddenly became panicked and hurriedly tried to step back to get rid of Shirogane's outstretched hand.

However, she forgot that there was a wall behind her and she had no way to retreat.

"……"silver.

I originally just wanted to help her up.

but.

Now her reaction was as if she was afraid he would see her scars.

But wasn't she the one who just revealed the scar?

just.

However, Shirogane understands that Karuizawa is currently in a state where she has exposed her own weaknesses but is now being attacked by the shadows of the past.

Shirogane turned around and glanced at Sakura, who was still in a nervous state.

Obviously.

She didn't understand the look in his eyes that wanted her to come and comfort Karuizawa.

then.

Baiyin had no choice but to reach out his own hand.

This was a completely different state and mood from when Kushida-san took the initiative to hold his hand. Seeing the girl's timid expression, Shirogane-san suppressed the sweat on his forehead and slowly covered the girl's lower abdomen with his right hand.

The skin that should have been delicate has become a little rough to the touch because of the scars.

The warm feeling from Shirogane's palm made the girl's body feel slightly hot.

Her little hands were holding up the hem of her clothes, and she could have put them down directly, but she still didn't have any.

"Does it hurt?"

Shirogane's voice was tender and compassionate as he gently caressed the girl's belly.

Although it was an extraordinary action, the two girls did not see any difference.

Even Sakura, who was always shy and introverted, was hesitant to speak.

Although she felt that touching other girls without permission was not a good thing, Shirogane-san shouldn't be taking advantage of her.

correct.

It must be like this.

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

The girl's voice was tearful, and Shirogane's words almost made her cry out loud.

No one had ever asked her this question, not even her parents.

She had told her parents and teachers countless times about the bullying, but each time the bullies only intensified the bullying and there was no effective relief at all.

Even if she wanted to transfer schools, her parents would not agree.
