"No, no need, I'll do this myself..."

With a red face, Sakurai Ruiko took the towel dipped in hot water from Izumi Toru and began to wipe her calves and knees...

"Sakurai-san."

"Um?"

"What are you going to do next?"

Sakurai Ruiko's hand suddenly stopped.

She pursed her lips.

"I, I don't know..."

Before she could finish speaking, her chest felt clogged and tears began to stream down her cheeks.

Tonight, the girl's world collapsed.

What lies before her is an unknown future.

"Then, before you can find a safe place to live, you can stay here with me."

The girl raised her head, and the smile on Izumi Toru's face was like sunshine dispelling the darkness, making her cheeks start to heat up.

"Of course, in return, next time I violate school rules, I hope the disciplinary committee will be lenient and treat it as if nothing happened."

Sakurai Ruiko's cheeks swelled.

"Don't break school rules!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I know. You are really selfless." Izumi Toru rubbed her head and smiled.

Izumi Toru's hands seemed to have magic power, and Sakurai Ruiko couldn't think of any resistance at all.

She lowered her head and let him stroke her hair.

"Anyway, I'll sleep here tonight. Although it's better to send you to the hospital, I'm sorry that I can't guarantee your safety outside of here. We can only talk about tomorrow."

"oh……"

"Also, I have a question that I'm curious about."

The girl raised her head, "What?"

"With a weapon in hand, you sneak into other people's homes and try to kidnap and threaten them. How are you usually sentenced? Ms. Disciplinary Committee member?"

"Eh?!"

Seeing her suddenly at a loss, Izumi Toru couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll punish you by [not allowed to cry again today]."

Izumi Toru's words made Sakurai Ruiko's heart start to beat wildly.

She had never seen anyone like him before, and she couldn't resist him at all.

She lowered her head, lost in thought, and her heartbeat was beating fast.

"hungry?"

"Huh? No, I'm not hungry."

"Are you thirsty?" Izumi Toru asked again.

This time, the girl hesitated.

"A...a little bit..."

“Can I have beer?”

"But..." Nodding subconsciously, Sakurai Ruiko realized something was wrong, and she quickly said: "Of course not!"

"Tsk! There are quite a lot of requirements, but what about the sake?"

Sakurai Ruiko stopped talking.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Izumi Toru laughed instead.

"I'm usually fierce, but now I'm very cute and well-behaved."

Watching Izumi Toru turn around and walk towards the refrigerator, Sakurai Ruiko couldn't help but touch her hot cheek.

Cute and well-behaved...

Only, not at all!

However, she suddenly thought of her mother who could not be contacted and her unconscious father.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

Izumi Toru came back with bottled water and sighed inwardly when he saw the girl's slightly sad face.

"Here, here you go."

"Thank you~"

The girl took the water, unscrewed the cap, and took a big sip.

Then, the two people fell silent.

Izumi Tetsu always felt a little embarrassed. He thought for a while and finally thought of the topic.

"By the way, Sakurai-san."

"What?"

"The water you just drank, I added a lot of sleeping pills to it."

Sakurai Ruiko's expression immediately became frightened.

Izumi Tetsu grinned.

"I lied to you."

The girl's heart went up and down like a roller coaster.

"But what if I'm with someone from outside? It's better for you to be wary of me."

With that said, Izumi Toru walked towards the door.

When Sakurai Ruiko saw that he was leaving, she felt a little scared.

"W-where are you going?"

"Go to my fiancée's room. Or are you willing to take over my fiancée's job?" Izumi Toru asked.

Thinking of those strange sounds just now, Sakurai Ruiko hurriedly lowered her head.

"Don't worry, you are safe tonight."

Izumi Toru left a word and left the room.

Click!

The door was closed by Izumi Toru.

A strong sense of emptiness came over her, and Sakurai Ruiko didn't know what to do, so she had to cross her arms and sit on the edge of the bed, shivering.

…

Asazuki Hongyin was taking a bath when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"What's up?"

"Senior, can you rub my back for me later?"

Izumi Toru's words made her panic.

Every time she made such a request as a joke, Izumi Toru always refused. Why did she take the initiative to request it today?

For a moment, she didn't respond.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence."

"wait……"

She was about to refuse, but then she thought about it, what was her reason for refusing?

Thinking of him calling her sister in a sweet voice, she couldn't refuse.

Yes, isn't it natural to rub Izumi's back?

A gentle smile appeared on the woman's face.

After Izumi Toru waited outside for a while, Asatsuki Koine opened the bathroom door.

Her pretty face, flushed from having just taken a bath, poked out from behind the door.

"come in."

"So fast?" Izumi Toru was stunned for a moment.

"Then let me soak for a while longer?" As she said that, Qianyue Hongyin made a move to close the door.
