A few days later, the day finally came.
This evening, there will be a turning point in the Nanase family, and of course I will do my best to save them.
In the game, Suguru will notice something is wrong with Haruka two days after the collections arrive, but I’m not going to wait until then.
This week is the test period, so club activities are voluntary.
The collection is supposed to come at 5:30 p.m., so I should be there by then.
I was considering using money to solve the problem, but when I talked to my dad, he said he was going to destroy the whole organization, so that’s what I was going to do. I have already talked to the police.
However, we couldn’t move the police based on uncertain information, such as the fact that the collection would be coming today.
I thought about waiting at home first, but then I couldn’t call the police, I didn’t know how many people would be coming, and it would be difficult to fight while protecting the two of them if someone had a gun.
So I need to wait at a little distance from the house for the collectors to come and buy time for the police to arrive after I call the police.
“All right, let’s get ready.”
It’s after school and I leave school right away.
It was 4:00 p.m. and I was waiting near Nanase’s house early.
Haruka hadn’t come home yet.
An hour later, Haruka came back with Suguru.
The four childhood friends all live close to each other.
But for some reason they seemed to be arguing.
After a few minutes, they were still arguing.
While I was watching them, Haruka turned pale and ran away.
Kamiya followed her.
I sensed something was wrong and looked toward the Nanase house to see four collectors there.
I hurriedly called the police and explained the situation.
When I finished my explanation and rushed to the Nanase house, I saw Haruka standing in front of them.
Seeing Haruka, Kaori san was crying and bowing to the yakuza people.
Kamiya, perhaps realizing that he was facing a yakuza, ran away at full speed with a face like he was about to burst into tears.
I ran toward Haruka.

★ Nanase Haruka（side)
Today is the day Sano-kun comes over for dinner.
My mom was really looking forward to it, and I was a little excited too.
Since it was a test period, club activities were voluntary, so we would practice for a little bit and then go home immediately.
So I headed to the gymnasium.
After practice, I decided to go home, but Suguru was there.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure I could talk to him as usual, so I avoided talking to him today.
“Hey! You’re home now~?”
“Yeah, I am.”
I tried my best to act as usual.
“Odd coincidence, I’m on my way home too, let’s go home together.”
“I see, okay, I’ll go home with you.”
So we decided to go home together for the first time in a while.
“We haven’t been home together in a long time.
“Sure, we do. We both have club activities.”
“Oh, it would be nice if the four of us could go home together once in a while.”
I would have been able to agree with that until the day before yesterday, but after hearing that story, I am not at all willing to go along with it.
I’m still trying to sort out my feelings, so it’s hard for me to talk to him alone.
We walked around talking afterwards, but I was feeling a bit hazy the whole time and didn’t enjoy the conversation at all.
If I were normal, there is no way that would have happened.
I was thinking like that when we got close to my house.
“I’ve arrived home, so I’m going home.”
“Hey, Haruka? Can I go to Haruka’s house now?”
He suddenly said such a thing, but today was the day Sano was coming over, and even without that, I didn’t want to talk too much right now.
“It would be troublesome if you said something so suddenly, mother is here too.”
“Kaori-san will be fine, I used to go there when I was in junior high school.”
“Anyway, you definitely can’t come over today. If you’re going to come over, you should have told me in advance.”
“No, but ……”
After a few minutes of this exchange, I heard noisy voices coming from my house.
I looked in that direction and saw people in front of my house who looked like the Yakuza.
My heart was racing, I had no idea what was going on, but my legs were moving on their own thinking about mother.
“Mother!”
“Haruka!”
Mother, who called me, her face was frightened.
Seeing this, my legs were trembling with fear, but I asked the four of them.
“Who are you people? What are you doing in my house?”
I said while holding my trembling legs.
“Haa? Didn’t your mother tell you, little girl?”
“What are you talking about?”
My head was in chaos.
“Then I’ll tell you. …”
I was desperate to know everything.
I knew that Mom had been pushing herself too hard all these years, that she was trying not to worry about me, and that I was enjoying myself by doing club activities and so on.
I looked at my mother and she bowed her head and cried, begging for help for her daughter only.
Seeing this, I once again despaired of myself, unable to do anything about it.
Then the men turned to Suguru, who was following me, and said
“So, what are you? Are you the young lady’s man? Then you’re going to have to pay with me.”
“N-No, I had nothing to do with it. Hiiiiii”
With that, he ran away as fast as he could.
I had a little hope that he would help me.
But that didn’t happen. It’s not his fault.
In this situation, most people would have reacted the same way.
I was thinking about that, but honestly, it didn’t matter.
My heart was already broken when I saw my mom with tears in her eyes and her head down.
I could easily imagine the future between me and my mother.
So I didn’t even want to think about it anymore. I didn’t care about anything else.
“Then, if you don’t have money, come along, mother and child.”
The men grabbed me and my mother’s hands.
Even though I thought it didn’t matter, for some reason tears started to well up in my eyes.
In my heart, I was screaming for help.
I don’t care who you are, if you save us, I’ll give the devil everything I have.
Then a small voice came out.
“Save me.”
