[Outside the Alley]
Shiina Chizuru's little face was tense, looking sowhat nervous.
Very soon, she heard a few piercingly shrill screams.
Then, deathly silence.
Terrifying, bone-chilling.
At that mont, a familiar tall figure walked out of the alley. Shiina Chizuru let out a long breath, her taut body finally relaxing.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Class Rep."
"N-no…", Chizuru shook her head, then, looking nervous, asked Hikari, "A-are they… are they all dealt with?"
Hikari nodded calmly, "Dealt with. I finished off that Tamura guy completely. From now on… no, forever, he'll never co to bother you again."
Hearing this, Chizuru clearly sighed in relief. But very soon, she worriedly looked at Hikari and asked in a tense tone, "Is… is this okay?"
Hikari knew that Chizuru, with her excellent grades, was quick-witted. She had probably guessed what had happened in the alley.
But he still smiled casually, "It's fine. Just a few nobodies, so vagrants, no one will know. Unless, of course, you call the cops to have arrested."
"I won't!", Chizuru shook her head quickly.
Afraid Hikari might misunderstand, she hurriedly explained in a fluster, "I'm not threatening you, I… I'm just worried about Hikari-kun."
"Worried you ki—worried that dealing with them might be discovered."
"I've studied chemistry. I once got curious after watching a Western drama and looked it up. I know roughly how to make that… that sulfuric acid that can dissolve a human body."
"I just wanted to say, you did this to save , so I want to help too."
"If you need it, I… I'll definitely help you take care of them together!"
Hikari looked deeply at Chizuru.
He chuckled, "If so, that makes you an accomplice."
Chizuru's body trembled, but her gaze stayed firm, "I'm not afraid! And… I always have been!"
He stared into her eyes for several seconds, seeing her firm gaze that never wavered.
Hikari suddenly broke into a smile.
Like spring breeze brushing peach blossoms, making Chizuru dazed.
"Don't worry, I handled it cleanly. Nothing will happen, no need to worry," Hikari's tone was calm but confident.
He was very satisfied with Chizuru's answer.
Her personality had always been upright, unable to tolerate even a speck of sand. But thankfully, she wasn't stubborn to the very end.
Even now, knowing he had broken the law and killed, she was still willing to cover for him, even willing to be an accomplice and help deal with the aftermath.
After all, he truly had saved her.
But so self-righteous saints, even when saved, might still turn around and report their benefactor.
If he'd encountered such a saint bent on reporting him, Hikari naturally would never have saved such an ingrate.
Of course, for Chizuru, who adhered to rules almost rigidly, this kind of "non-procedural justice" probably left her uneasy inside. But even so, she still firmly stood by him.
That alone made saving her worthwhile.
And once she heard Hikari's assurance, Chizuru stopped asking further, completely trusting his handling.
When she felt that Hikari's gaze now held a bit more trust in her, Chizuru's whole body ward inside.
'This feeling… is so comfortable.'
Seriousness and justice had indeed been her life's creed, but the comfort Hikari gave her was even more important.
For that, she was willing to give so, so, so much...
Thinking this, Chizuru glanced at Hikari and said, "Um, Hikari-kun, your clothes look a bit dirty."
Hikari lowered his head, unconcerned, "Those three guys were too filthy, couldn't avoid it."
Chizuru imdiately said, "My house is just ahead. Why don't… why don't you co over and take a shower?"
For so reason, as she said this, her fair face turned a bit red.
Tamura and those vagrants truly had been filthy. Though not much had rubbed off, even the slightest bit made Hikari uncomfortable.
Hearing Chizuru's proactive suggestion, he nodded in agreent.
"Alright, I'll go to your house then."
"Okay! Hikari-kun, follow ."
Hearing his agreent, Chizuru bead, happily leading him ho.
On the way, Chizuru kept chatting with Hikari, and Hikari occasionally responded.
For so reason, Chizuru's steps were much lighter than when leaving school, as though her happiness had doubled.
Her emotions seed excited. Though her pace wasn't fast, the rise and fall of her chest was rather intense.
Her full, proud curves swayed like a rollercoaster, dizzying to look at.
Hikari faintly sensed sothing, glancing at her long, beautiful legs under the pleated skirt.
Noticing his gaze, realizing he might have guessed her thoughts, Chizuru's face turned crimson, the blush spreading to her ears.
"Th-that's my house up ahead, Hikari-kun, c-co with ."
Even though they were almost ho, Chizuru seed more nervous than when Tamura had trapped her in the alley. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke to Hikari.
"Alright," Hikari's tone was calm.
They ca to the house marked with the naplate "Shiina."
Chizuru couldn't help looking back at Hikari. Seeing his handso face and tall, strong body, her cheeks flushed again, her mouth dry.
Her thighs beneath her skirt rubbed together in impatience. Maybe because she was too excited and nervous, she rummaged through her schoolbag for a long ti without finding the key.
After several minutes, she finally found it.
Thinking of what might happen soon, she raised the key with trembling hands, nervous and excited, ready to open the door and invite Hikari inside.
But just as the key was about to go into the lock, she saw a figure step out of the house into the yard, hanging laundry.
Her mother.
Her mother, hanging laundry, hadn't noticed Chizuru at the door.
But the mont she saw her mother, Chizuru froze, the blush fading from her face.
She stiffly turned to Hikari, apologetic, "S-sorry, Hikari-kun, soone's ho today… I thought no one would be…"
Hikari just shrugged casually, "No problem. I can go wash at my own place."
With that, he turned to leave.
Seeing his back, Chizuru panicked.
Without greeting her mother, she quickly yanked the key from the lock and rushed after him.
"W-wait!", Chizuru blocked Hikari's path.
Hikari looked at her anxious face, puzzled, "What is it?"
Chizuru nervously asked, "Um, Hikari-kun, y-you're not going to shower anymore?"
Hikari replied, "I'll go ho to shower."
Chizuru quickly said, "But going ho now is… too far, isn't it? Then you'd have to co back to school in the afternoon, so tiring…"
"Then what? Isn't it inconvenient since your family's ho?", Hikari asked.
Chizuru shook her head, "For just a shower, having soone ho isn't really a big deal. Uh… maybe it is kind of a big deal."
"How about…", Chizuru's little face flushed, expression hesitant.
"How about?", Hikari looked at her curiously.
Chizuru bit her lip, then suddenly blurted, "How about we go get a hotel!"
"A hotel?", Hikari raised a brow.
"Mm! We can just find one nearby, r-rent a room so Hikari-kun can shower. After all, showering now is… important," Chizuru stamred.
Hikari said casually, "For a shower, it's not that important to ."
Chizuru blushed, lowering her head, "I-it is important, isn't it?"
Hikari glanced at her pale neck turning red, then nodded, "Alright, let's get a hotel. Are you coming with too?"
Even though it was only a few steps back to her own house, even though her mother was still in the yard hanging laundry, Chizuru still nodded.
The mont she nodded, her face flushed as if dripping blood, her little hands clutching her skirt hem tightly.
"D-don't misunderstand. I-I'm just too worked up and nervous right now, I don't want to go ho, afraid my mom would notice sothing. After what just happened, I'm still a bit scared. So… so I wanted to go to a hotel with Hikari-kun…"
Chizuru stumbled over her explanation.
Hikari nodded seriously, "I understand. I won't misunderstand."
Hearing that, Chizuru first sighed in relief, then panicked a little, afraid he really wouldn't "misunderstand."
She turned to say more, but when she saw Hikari looking at her with what seed like a faint smile, she quickly turned her blushing face away.
She even pretended to casually tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, though awkwardly.
Seeing this, Hikari didn't tease her further. He changed the subject slightly, easing her embarrassnt.
With so chatting and laughter, Chizuru gradually relaxed again.
But soon, the high school girl grew nervous once more.
Because now, following Hikari, she had arrived at a place she had never gone with a boy before.
A hotel.
With her head bowed in shyness, Chizuru followed closely.
Hikari smoothly went to the front desk, got a room, and took the key card upstairs.
Chizuru, head still lowered, tagged tightly behind him like a shadow.
When Hikari swiped the card and entered the room naturally, Chizuru took a deep breath before stepping in.
"Ah!", As soon as she entered, she saw a strong back, muscles sharply defined, shoulders broad like butterfly wings.
Hearing her gasp, Hikari turned around.
The perfect, sculpted abs appeared before her again.
This ti, she didn't cry out. Seeing that body that made girls' blood race, she was so excited she nearly forgot to breathe.
Ignoring the girl covering her face but peeking through her fingers, Hikari casually told her to shut the door, then went into the bathroom.
After rinsing, he quickly washed off the gri from earlier.
Hikari dried off, dressed, and stepped out.
"I'm done. Let's tidy up and go," He spoke crisply to Chizuru.
Seeing his slightly damp hair, Chizuru, who had been sitting nervously on the bed with her hands on her knees, swallowed hard.
Suddenly, she spoke, "U-um, today's so hot, I-I sweated a lot. I… I also want to shower. Hikari-kun, c-can you wait for ?"
"Sure, go ahead," Hikari replied casually.
