The comfortable and comfortable days lasted until near the end of the term.
One night, Izumi Toru took Shiratori Kyoko off to the train after getting off work from the flower shop.
When he returned to Qingshui Lao, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
I always feel like someone is watching me.
Looking around, there were several figures hiding in the darkness.
He immediately sent a message to Igarashi Mika.
[Izumi Toru: I found a strange person near Qingshui Liao. I feel that I am in danger. Please help! 】
Not long after, two messages were sent almost at the same time.
【Ding dong!】
【Ding dong!】
【Igarashi Mika: Go to hell!】
Okay, looks like I'm safe.
Feeling calm in his heart, Izumi Toru looked at the other one.
[Jinguji Kiyohime: You and your beautiful senior are in no danger.]
Senior sister is also safe, so that’s okay!
Izumi Toru put away his cell phone and walked up to the second floor.
He first knocked on Asatsuki Hongyin's door and found no one responded, so he opened his own door.
However, as soon as he entered the door, his expression suddenly changed.
Click!
The door was closed by someone else.
The man grabbed his shoulders from behind and put a dagger across his neck.
The cold blade came into contact with his skin, making all the hairs on Izumi's body stand up and even goose bumps appeared.
In particular, the person holding the dagger may be a little excited, and his hands are constantly shaking.
Izumi Toru was afraid that if the opponent's hand trembled, he would kill himself.
He didn't dare to speak or make any move, he just waited for the person behind him to speak.
After a while, he heard the person behind him let out a sigh of relief.
He also breathed a sigh of relief inside.
"your name?"
The person behind him asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
Hearing the sound, Izumi Toru was stunned for a moment.
female?
Then will my entry [Affinity] work?
This wave is stable!
Of course, if you turn around rashly, you might irritate the person behind you.
So, he answered honestly: "Izumi Tetsu."
In order to appease him, he also specially used his voice acting skills.
Bang!
The dagger dropped to the ground with a crisp sound.
"It's you?!"
The unconcealed joy in the voice of the woman behind him stunned Izumi Toru for a moment.
acquaintance?
He turned around and saw the woman behind him, no, it should be said to be a girl, and his eyes were startled.
"Sakurai-kun? What are you doing?"
The person who just held her hostage was none other than Sakurai Ruiko.
At this moment, Sakurai Ruiko's face was extremely pale.
He was wearing a sports suit that he had changed into while riding at night, but there was a spot on the vest that was damaged.
There were varying degrees of scratches on the arms, calves, and knees.
My legs seemed unable to stand still.
What on earth has she experienced?
Seeing a familiar person, Sakurai Ruiko's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Her legs felt weak.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Izumi Toru quickly supported her.
The girl raised her head, and Izumi Toru's handsome face was close to Chi Chi.
I obviously hated him so much before, but recently...
"Sakurai-san? Sakurai-san?"
Izumi Tetsu's voice awakened the girl who had fallen into a certain emotion.
She shook her head vigorously, getting rid of the sudden charm she had just experienced.
Now is not the time to think about this.
Izumi Toru looked at Sakurai Ruiko, who was frowning, smiling, and now looking lonely, and asked, "Are you okay? I just saw a strange person outside."
Hearing this, Sakurai Ruiko's heart tightened.
She immediately grabbed Izumi Toru's arm.
Somewhat apprehensive.
"Don't worry, I don't know why, but they probably won't come in. You are safe with me for the time being."
Izumi Toru said this because he thought of the news just sent by Jinguji Kiyohime.
When Sakurai Ruiko heard what he said, although she didn't know why, she already believed his words in her heart.
She originally wanted to push away Izumi Toru who was supporting her and stand up, but the sudden pain in her ankle made the girl couldn't help but let out an "ah".
She couldn't help but fall forward.
Boom!
The head and chest collided, making a slight dull sound.
There was an inexplicable smell in Izumi Tetsu's arms. Sakurai Ruiko couldn't put it into words, but she only felt her heart trembling and she couldn't exert any strength in any part of her body.
Seeing that the girl in his arms could not stand, Izumi Toru guessed that she was injured, so he said, "I'm sorry."
The girl was stunned for a moment.
Feel sorry?
Why say sorry?
As soon as her doubts arose, she suddenly felt a lightness in her body.
It turned out that Toru Izumi hugged her directly.
Sakurai Ruiko felt panicked.
But the hand that wanted to struggle subconsciously hooked his neck.
She said nothing, lowered her head, and allowed Izumi Toru to carry her to the bed and lay her down.
"I want to check your ankle, okay?"
"……Um."
Izumi Toru was surprised to see her being unusually well-behaved, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't hesitate and took off her sneakers directly.
The white sports socks had cute cartoon patterns on them, but because the girl had been riding for a while at night and was chased by others, there was a slight sour smell after a long period of exercise.
Izumi Tetsu frowned.
Sakurai Ruiko saw him frowning and guessed something.
Her face turned red.
"Yes, I'm sorry...because..."
"I can understand." Izumi Toru interrupted her.
"oh……"
The girl's face turned even redder.
So embarrassed...
Izumi Toru carefully took off the girl's socks.
With her petite and delicate feet exposed to the air, Sakurai Ruiko subconsciously arched her insteps, but this movement made her feel a sting again.
Izumi Tetsu held up her right foot.
Although the girl's feet were very cute, Izumi Toru was not in that mood at the moment.
Because at this moment, the girl's right ankle was swollen and looked distressing.
He pressed somewhere on her ankle and asked, "Do you feel any tearing here?"
Hearing this, Sakurai Ruiko moved her ankle slightly.
The tearing feeling made her bite her lower lip.
"Yes, a little bit..."
Izumi Toru carefully put her feet down.
"If it's just a sprain, there should be only slight swelling and pain. Considering that you may have aggravated the sprain with strenuous exercise just now, severe swelling is also possible. But, coupled with the tearing feeling... it is more likely to be the ankle joint.
Torn ligament..."
With that said, Izumi Toru stood up and said, "I'm going to get the medical kit, and here's this for you. You must have lost your cell phone. Use mine. Call your father to pick you up. You have to go to the hospital. I can't protect you.
, but as your father is a police inspector, there must be no problem."
Sakurai Ruiko didn't take his phone, she shook her head.
"My father is in a coma right now, and my mother can't get through the phone..."
Izumi Tetsu's heart sank.
Things seemed to be more serious than I expected.
After finding the medical kit, ice pack, and medical bandages, Izumi carefully treated her ankle.
Sakurai Ruiko looked at Izumi Toru who lowered his head to treat his injuries, and the fear and grievances he felt tonight suddenly came to his mind.
Snap!
Snap!
Tears fell uncontrollably.
There were water droplets blooming on the back of the hand, and beautiful flowers bloomed. Izumi Tetsu was stunned for a moment.
Looking up, the discipline committee member Sakurai Saiko, who was usually arrogant and confident, was now in tears.
"Hey, is it okay to cry in front of me? I'm Toru Izumi, the one who has always held a grudge against you and wants to embarrass you in front of the whole school. If you do this, I can't help but
I filmed you crying and spread it on the Internet."
Izumi Toru's feigned ferocity made Sakurai Ruiko stunned for two seconds.
She suddenly didn't want to cry anymore.
But she didn't believe that Izumi Toru would do such a thing.
She just said "Oh" and then there was no sound.
Izumi Toru continued to help her with her ankle.
Wrap a bandage around and around the fixed plate.
After taking care of the injury, he asked: "What happened today? Of course. If you want to tell me, just tell me. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter."
Sakurai Ruiko hesitated for a moment and then said it.
"Today, I received a call from my father's colleague. My father was assassinated by the Yakuza and is still being rescued. I called my mother's number, but couldn't get through... Then, a group of people dressed in black appeared and wanted to
They wanted to arrest me, but my car was broken down. I could only run and keep running. When I got here, I found that your room could be opened easily, so I hid in..."
Izumi Toru's eyes narrowed.
It's really incredible news that the Yakuza assassinated a police inspector.
If you can't contact your mother, you may encounter something unexpected, or you may be kidnapped. Either way, the situation is extremely bad.
But why did Igarashi Mika and Jinguji Kiyohime tell them they were safe for such a big thing?
Moreover, why did the Jidao chase them to Qingshui Residence but didn't come in?
Is there anything here that they are afraid of?
Apart from me and my senior sister, no one else is staying here.
He had a vague guess in his heart.
"Um, Sakurai-san."
"What?"
"Do you know who is chasing you? Or does he have any characteristics?"
Sakurai Ruiko frowned and thought for a long time.
"I remember...here," the girl gestured with her hand on her chest, "there is a Chinese character that looks like a crescent moon...Wait, this, I seem to have heard my father mention it, this seems to be the symbol of a certain Yakuza...
…”
After thinking for a long time with a frown, the girl's eyes lit up.
"I remember, it's the [Asatsuki Group]!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sakurai Ruiko's expression suddenly changed.
