Two days have passed since Misora told Towa about me.
It was the third day since Runa escaped from the mental hospital.
“I guess they haven’t caught her yet?”
“Well, the fact that I haven’t heard anything probably means she hasn’t been caught yet.”
It’s totally troubling.
If Runa isn’t caught soon, I’ll never be able to go on a date.
“But I think it’s about time they caught her.”
No reports have come in for three days.
It’s not possible for a normal human being to live without a place of residence.
If we don’t find anything today, it’s a safe bet that there is some kind of collaborator.
I don’t know who it is, though.
“Well, we can’t worry about it, and we’ll just have to go on as usual, won’t we?”
“I guess so. We can’t do anything about it.”
“Well, I’m off to school.”
“Yes. I’ll go downstairs just in case, but be careful okay?”
A car is already parked downstairs for pick-up and drop-off.
Since Misora and our high school are complete opposites, there are two cars available.
“Yes, right? Be careful because you never know what might happen, okay?”
“Yes ! I’m off.”
A few minutes after we saw Misora off, we left the house too.
“Then, I’ll ask you to take care of her for me.”
“Leave it to me. Towa sama.”
The driver replied, and the car started moving slowly.
After a short time, the car stops near the school gate.
“Thank you very much.’
“Yes. Please be careful on your way to the school.”
The driver calls out to us as we get out of the car.
It’s already the third day, so I’m used to being the object of curious eyes, but I’d like to be able to keep on flirting with Towa on the way to school, so I hope Runa gets caught soon.
“I’ve gotten used to this staring.”
“I guess so. Actually, even before we started going out, I got looks like that a lot.”
Before I started going out with Towa, when we started working together, they had been giving me this look for a long time.
There was no malice in their gaze just now, but their gaze from before contained a great deal of malice, murderous intent, and other such negative feelings.
“I guess so, too.”
As soon as we arrived at the school, we were having the same conversation as usual.
“Yanagi senpai !”
“Hm? What’s the matter?”
Nanami san was running this way.
It is unusual to see her running in such a hurry.
Did something happen?
I didn’t ask for help regarding Runa this time.
“Is it true that Horii senpai has escaped?”
“Yeah, that’s true. Where did you hear that?”
“Goto san told me. Why didn’t you tell me?
“No, because in this case, I thought that if we waited three days, they would have caught her and there was no need to investigate her that much.”
In fact, I think Runa will probably be caught soon.
She can’t go home and she doesn’t have any friends she can rely on.
Satoru, the only one she could rely on, is currently missing.
At this point, I didn’t tell Nanami san because I thought it would be impossible for a high school girl with no money to keep running for more than three days.
“That’s true, but doesn’t that seem a bit fishy? After all, you and I are in a good relationship.”
“Don’t say things that could lead to misunderstandings. Look at my feet. They’re being stepped on for good, aren’t they?”
Saying that, I turned my gaze and saw my feet being firmly pressed down by Towa.
It was quite painful because of the force that had been put into it.
“Oh, sorry. Now that I think about it, Amane senpai is surprisingly jealous. Don’t worry, I don’t see Yanagi senpai as a man, so please rest assured.”
“…I see. That would be fine.”
She finally moved her leg.
I’m grateful for that.
But it still hurts me a little that she doesn’t see me as a man at all.
“So, what on earth do you want in such a hurry?”
“No, it’s nothing important, but there was a sighting of someone who looked like Horii senpai.”
“Eh !? Where in the world?”
“In school There was a bit of a fuss when someone who looked like her was seen there in the early hours of the morning.”
That’s understandable.
I don’t know if the sightings are real, but do I need to be on guard even at school?
It’s really tiring, isn’t it?
“Well, even if it is true, she will be caught soon. Let’s be on our guard just in case. Thank you Nanami san.”
“Don’t worry about it. Please be careful, Amane senpai.”
“Thank you.”
“Well, I still have things to do.”
With that, Nanami san jogged off towards the school building.
“She’s so cute, isn’t she?”
“I know.”
“……”
“No, why are you looking at me like that?”
Towa is giving me a very cold look.
Why???
“How can you call another girl cute in front of your girlfriend?”
“No, but it’s a fact. I think Nanami san is cute, but Towa is number one. No one else.”
Say this while holding Towa’s hand and looking into her eyes.
May Towa rest assured.
“…Sora is so mean when he says that.”
“But I really do love Towa, and to be honest, I’m not interested in any other women.”
“But I still feel insecure.’
“Well then, if you ever feel anxious, just tell me. I’ll embrace you anytime.”
“Hug me then?”
“This is the entrance to the school, you know? There are a lot of people watching us.”
It was morning time and this place was full of students.
I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to hug her in the middle of the crowd.
“But you told me it could be anytime. Perhaps Sora is lying to me?”
“Gu……”
With that, I had no choice but to embrace her.
Well, I was already standing out in a bad way anyway, so it was probably too late now.
I made that excuse to myself and embraced Towa.
I could hear the thumping of a heartbeat that wasn’t my own from around my chest, and it was a pleasant feeling.
“It’s okay now. I’m relieved.”
“You sure? I understand.”
I pulled away from Towa, feeling a little regretful.
Looking at Towa’s face, her cheeks were slightly flushed and she looked cute.
“I’ll see you at lunchtime.”
“Okay. I think it’ll probably be okay, but try not to be alone at school too much today.”
“I know, I know. You should also be careful, too. You’ll be the first to be targeted.”
“Of course I know that. I’ll see you later.”
And so we headed to our respective classrooms.
