I still remember that time vividly.
It was a slightly chilly season.
It was late afternoon, and there were many college students who had finished lunch.
Jinguuji and Kanzaki were there, just outside the campus, and there were many college students around them.
Although their ages were not significantly different, there was a difference between them as if they were children and adults.
They had flashy bright hair colors and were wearing clothes that were probably fashionable.
They stared at me, sneered at me, and pointed at me.
I was filled with anger just a moment ago, but now I wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible.
“Hey, you stalker ! Get down on your knees and apologize for stalking a woman !”
Jinguuji barks, and his cronies respond, [That’s right, that’s right.]
Kanzaki remained hidden behind Jinguuji while corners of her mouth slightly lifted up in a smile.
An unrelated female college student laughed at me, a passing businessman took one look at me and left, and a housewife on her way home from shopping said something with her mouth covered.
I felt as if everyone here was telling me, [It’s your fault.]
“I’m just…..I.”
“Hey, stop mumbling and apologize already !”
Am I wrong?
Do I owe an apology?
With that thought, both of my trembling legs slowly folded.
One knee hits the ground, and the people around me all point their phones at me at once.
“So—“
“–Hey, why does he have to apologize?”
Suddenly, I heard a voice.
The voice came from behind Jinguuji and Kanzaki, breaking the space between them and reaching my ears and the people around me clearly.
Everyone turned toward the direction the voice came from.
A woman, beautiful enough to be admired by men and women alike, had her hand on her cheek and was tilting her head.
“……Hey, Touko. What do you mean?”
“I mean, what proof do you have that he was in the wrong?”
“WThe proof I have is that Madoka, the victim, says so? What more proof do I need?”
“I’m sorry, if the victim said that, does that mean he stalked her? If that’s the case, if I tell the police that he r*ped her right now, is he gonna get arrested?”
“That’s a load of crap.”
“That’s basically what will happen. You know, don’t you all think so?”
She was not looking at Jinguji, but at his cronies.
Staring at her like that, the people who had been following Jinguuji around turned their cheeks red and stuttered.
“Barking along with your master without any proof,…..hey, don’t you realize that you are THE creepy people?”
Without changing her tone of voice or expression at all, Touko san spat at Jinguuji’s cronies.
They fell silent at her words and said nothing back to her.
Then, Touko san turned her attention to the female college students outside who were watching nearby.
“Why are you guys pointing your cameras at him too?”
“Because she says he’s a stalker…..”
“You’re taking videos of him without his permission and without any proof that he’s a stalker?”
“…….”
“Should I tell everyone, too……? I’m sure they’ll believe me when I tell them.”
“T-that’s just……I have my next lecture, so I’ll see you later !”
The female student leaves as if she is running away.
Before I knew it, the people who had been here had disappeared, leaving only Jinguuji and others here.
“Well.”
One by one, Touko san silenced the people around her. Her expression was somewhat satisfied.
She was approaching me.
The men blocking the way in front of her clear the way for her. But Jinguuji stands in her way to stop her.
“Hey, where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m gonna give him a hand? It’s cold outside, so maybe I’ll go have a cup of coffee with him.”
“….I didn’t think you were into that type of kid. You’re the one who asked me—“
“I don’t know if he’s my type, but…..fufu, I’m sorry. I’ve never thought of you as a man.”
“───!”
Toyko san said and crouched down in front of me.
“Hey, you. Are you okay…..?”
She held out her hand.
Her appearance was like a saint from a fairy tale.
“Y-yes. Thank you…..”
“You’re welcome. You must be cold, C’mon, stand up.”
I squeeze her hand back and stand up.
It is as if my heart, which was in despair, is instantly cleared.
“Let’s go. Oh, I’m Kaga Touko. Just call me Touko.”
“Erm, I’m Tachibana Ken.”
“Nice to meet you, Ken kun.”
She smiled at me as I looked at her.
At that time, I thought I was saved by her.
I didn’t know that I was going to be driven crazy by her—.
