On the way, the silence made it difficult to break the silence.

Neither of them expected that it would become such a situation in a moment-

In a word, it is embarrassing, boring, and even a little unbearable.

But even though these emotions are all felt at this moment, they all invariably choose not to deliberately break the silence that makes people itch and unbearable.

But......

- How is it possible to do something like this?

"I mean, tell a joke, right? Even if it's to make me happy, okay? ”

That's right, only at this time will he be in a fluke mood and occasionally show such an attitude towards him.

- Just for now...... It's okay to be coquettish once in a while, right?

"Will you spare me...... It's too difficult. ”

"Let's not say that I'm not good at making people happy, what's worse is that the object is still you......

"Hmph, if it's not me but Lila who makes the request at this time, you will definitely go out of your way to rack your brains to make her happy."

"Am I wrong?"

“......”

Riveria pouted, and in the blink of an eye without mercy, she shook out what sounded excessive—

"Is this guy a schoolboy?!"

Someone couldn't help but wail.

Although, this is really Lemuel's death hole. But what makes him even more confused is this guy's current attitude......

- It seemed like an awkward mess no matter how you looked at it, but he really didn't know why he was the target of a fire for no reason.

Immediately after that, the reflection of the two unconsciously stretched longer and longer......

By the moment I realized it, it was as if I was chasing the sunset that was sinking in the west......

"What's wrong with you? That tone is a little subtle, isn't it? ”

"That's your delusion, it's not."

"If you don't, what do you mean by pouting? It's hard to understand......"

“......”

Whether this guy is lying or perfunctory, at least I can still see this. So he was going to ask clearly.

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all—"

Immediately after, Lemuel was about to ask a question, but ......

"I said no, no, you're annoying?"

"What? You have something in this, and your attitude of only saying half of it is difficult to accept, right? ”

"Since you have something to say, just finish it and let me understand?"

Before I knew it, I didn't know who said it, and there was more and more of a tendency to quarrel.

But it's also commonplace—

After all, no matter how good the relationship is, there will inevitably be times when you dislike each other......

But seriously, what is this kind of relationship like "friends and lovers are not full"?

By the way, the number of times the two of them have pointed out each other's shortcomings so bluntly can definitely be counted on one hand.

And now, again, for inexplicable reasons, things have become like this.

"Clearly? How so? If I really tell you in terms that you can understand, you won't be able to accept it, and you'll think I'm talking nonsense. ”

"How is that possible? So far, as long as it's your business, how can I not think about it seriously? ”

"Riveria, I said it when we first met, right?"

"You can tell me anything without reservation, even if it's just pouring bitter water—"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by her sneer that gradually emerged and had never been seen before!

It's easy to get people wrong......

And this guy has always had this kind of hindsight attitude. Who is the hard part?

"Why do you not hesitate to say such things? You know better than anyone else...... That's impossible, right? ”

"Why? Isn't that how the three of us have been here all along? As a good friend? And—"

Then he heard an unexpected rebuke—

"I don't want to have such a relationship with you at all! Why don't you understand such a simple thing?! ”

"Huh? Huh......? ”

Lemuel was stunned for a moment—

"Why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong? If yes, I'll apologize—"

"But at least tell me why!"

As a result, as soon as he wanted to ask, his outstretched hand was mercilessly removed-

"That's it, that's it! Don't follow me anymore...... I'll go back on my own! Don't follow me anymore. ”

“......！”

However, even after being rejected so clearly and forcefully, Lemuel still followed with wishful thinking.

— because he doesn't know that reason yet.

He may be more stubborn in this regard than he thinks......

"What the hell did I do to make you unhappy? If that's the case, I'll apologize. So wait for me! ”

"Stupid! Didn't I tell you not to come with me? ”

"If you want to say that's your freedom, but it's my freedom if I don't follow, isn't it?"

"Unless you give up and continue, or I'm exhausted...... Otherwise, I'll always be with you! ”

"You dead-faced stalker!"

"Say whatever you want?"

Voila, right? The words and deeds of the two are simply unreasonable and messy at this moment.

Awesome quarrel!

And it's as if they want to destroy all the relationships they've built up to now!

However, I obviously don't want to do this......

If there is something that is most cherished by this self now; At the same time, I am most afraid of losing......

Then there is no doubt that this idiot is following at this moment......

- Because, it's a close friend.

"So it's really annoying to say that a place like you is......"

"Didn't you already know about this kind of thing? Do you still need to say it now? Wait for me! ”

"By the way, where did your apparent excess physical strength come from?"

That being said, however, Lemuel always kept a distance from her, neither far nor near—

And it was this subtle distance that made Riveria's already distraught thoughts even more like a mess!

- Because, although that guy is an elm head to some extent, this kind of just right measure is really scary.

"You're a tough guy than a dog's skin plaster...... Seriously. ”

Finally, in what seemed to be a sweaty moment, she finally stopped—

"I'm tired, I'm tired......"

"By the way, it's really unbelievable that a guy like you can maintain the impression of being weak and sickly for granted?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handkerchief was handed to Lemuel, who was sweating profusely and panting as if he was holding his knees.

And rightfully so?

- As a friend. And more heart-warming care than this is not something she can do.

That's right, that line must not be crossed......

As long as the two of them are still "friends" that common sense can explain......

You can't take that step yourself.

Because if you do something more than that, a certain balance will be easily upset.

At that time, I'm afraid I won't even be able to do such a thing!

So, absolutely not!!

And as a friend, she was very afraid that this balance would be upset.

Because, no one can turn back time......

"Wipe your face. Remember to take a shower when you go back later, really...... What the hell are you doing? Messing yourself up so much. ”

"What is this? You're too arrogant to beat a rake, right? ”

Whose fault is it that I am so embarrassed? Is......

Whining, he took the handkerchief.

- "I'll wash it and give it back to you." ”

"No, I'll treat it as a gift to you."

As she spoke, the corners of Riveria's mouth couldn't help but rise.

While thinking to himself-

"It's really a defeat for his perseverance."

While sighing again-

That's why I became such wishful friends with him......

It must be so, right?

The situation was really the same back then as it is now......

However, only ...... may think so I'm not the one he knows, right?

So that's enough.

Because of the other me, the feelings that I hold on to the current self that I desperately loathe......

That is, the existence that can never be communicated.

So, it's really annoying to be in a place like him, and at the same time, the incredible patience can make people feel the urge to rely on it. It's true...... Very annoying.

- "Anyway, thank you for sending me back. Goodbye......"

Immediately afterwards, at the moment when this sentence blurted out, both of them coincidentally realized-

I thought that a destination far away was already close at hand.

"Ah...... Good bye. ”

However, in the end, he still couldn't better understand the reason for Riveria's hot and cold attitude.

But it doesn't matter now, right?

Because, compared to just now, her expression at this moment has finally softened.

But again, until the end she was reluctant to explain why.

And now, I can only give up honestly, right?

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've come to your house! Can't you just let me go up and sit down? ”

"How about I give you a gift in return?"

However, he clearly said to himself over and over again, "Enough is enough......

However, the actions shown are still contrary to the original intention.

"Just cheap apartments everywhere. Don't show your curiosity so explicitly—"

He didn't want to go back so soon. - Is that okay?

"Really? Am I really acting that explicit? ”

"It's all over my face - I want to go up and sit down, stop by and have a cup of coffee before leaving. Isn't it? ”

How disappointing is your creepy correctness and intuition?

Lemuel wanted to say this, but he didn't.

"Okay, okay, since you said no, then I'll go home...... Cheapskate. ”

As soon as the words fell, a man's figure suddenly broke into the conversation between the two at this moment.

“？！”

- "Why is it so late?" Where have you been fooling around again? ”

His voice was so cold that it even made people feel that what he had just said was not what he said to his daughter.

INTERVIEWER But it's true that it's a little late, so it's natural to feel angry, right?

However, just as Lemuel thought this, Riveria's words shocked him for a moment......

"Do you still care when I'm back? It's good for you that I'd better never come back—"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

As a result, the moment the words didn't fall, he was slapped in the face!

And what made him feel even more unbelievable was that after being treated like this, Riveria couldn't even see a single star of anger.

“......”

It's just expressionless and scary......

"Wait! Uncle, what are you doing!? ”

Of course, her right cheek was completely swollen, and the palm print was clearly visible.

- "You are?" Oh, did you learn to fish for men so quickly? ”

"But speaking of which, this guy is really handsome on the outside, and you have a good eye. Heh......"

This unhesitating speculation instantly stunned Lemuel on the side......

However, before he could defend himself, Riveria's anger had already exploded first!

"I'll do whatever you want, but he's not like you! Don't insult him with your narrow-minded thoughts that make you want to vomit! ”

"He and you are fundamentally people of two worlds!"

As soon as the words fell, she kept making eyes for Lemuel to leave quickly.

However, he did not react at all.

INTERVIEWER If this conversation continues, no one in the room will be spared.

At the same time, the side of himself that he least wants to see will be exposed mercilessly!

At that point, everything will be irreparable!

- If you are like that, you will definitely be hated by him!

In any case, such progress must be avoided! Because, I don't want him to see it...... Such a filthy self......

And what do you want to seek from him, who has long been hopeless?

The so-called salvation in the eyes of ordinary people has long been an unwanted existence for themselves!

- "So, don't let me continue to run away into your tenderness for free!" ”

"You seem to like him, don't you? Why, do you have a crush on this kid? ”

- The man sneered and finally threw out the words that Riveria didn't want to hear at this moment, to put it mildly!

"Shut up!!"

Immediately afterward, because of this sentence, she even lost the right to continue to stay here.

"No, it's not like that at all! Say no more......"

However, the more it is denied, the more it proves the fact that everyone seems to know it well.

"Don't be whimsical, you don't have such a right at all! After all, you're just my venting tool! ”

"And it seems that the real you, it seems that this kid doesn't know anything?"

"With all that said, let's use your body to calm my anger as always!"

"Because that's the best cure for me......"

With this sentence as ***, Lemuel's anger finally reached a critical point as if even he couldn't believe it-

However, before he could make any move, the two disappeared from front of him, as if they had discussed it beforehand......

However, in the end, Riveria's gaze, which seemed to be asking for help, made him unable to let go for a long time!

"Something has to be done! Otherwise——! ”

It wasn't until there was a fierce revolt in the apartment that Lemuel finally pulled his legs and ran!

If hesitant to think about it right now, his instinct told him......

If you really let it go, things will really become irreparable!

However, when he finally saw that he was covered in bruises......

And when Riveria fell on the floor of the living room as if she was naked, she felt an unprecedented impact in an instant!

"What?!"

"Why are you here...... Didn't I already let you go back? Why the hell do you want to ......! ”

The shock almost made him feel dizzy for a moment. But now is clearly not the time to savor it—

Lemuel, who walked slowly to Riveria's side, took off his coat and carefully draped it over her without thinking.

"What's the point of you doing this now...... As you can see, I am such a woman. ”

"So what? If you think I'm going to dislike you for that reason, you're very wrong. ”

"It is true that this may be the case...... But admit it or not, that's up to me, right? ”

Without thinking about it, he threw out the words he had prepared in advance—

"It's amazing! It's funny, but what kind of face do you have to tie this guy to this day now? ”

Unexpectedly, the man was only halfway through his words when Lemuel, who was still angry, glared mercilessly!

"Hey, you're ——!"

Gradually, he couldn't help but clench his fists ......!

Without hesitation, I rushed up and rewarded that guy with a punch!

“？！”

"You, you...... Outrageous! ”

The man desperately covered his swollen cheeks and the bridge of his nose that was crooked and splashed with blood in an instant!

I can't even say it properly......

Because this punch was really painful, it made him can't help but have gold stars in his eyes!

Of course, he won't just sit still!

It took a few seconds for Lemuel to realize that he had been punched as well—and his glasses were torn apart!

There is blood in the corners of the eyes! And, sure enough, it's not an ordinary pain......

The moment one realizes this, one can't help but stumble!

"Oops, it looks like I can't stand on my feet......!"

And this power and speed are far superior to the punch he just threw in all aspects.

After all, there is a physical gap between the two.

So even if it is such a result, it is a matter of course.

"I'm obviously an outsider, so don't let me talk about it here!"

"So far, she can only come in handy for this kind of thing! So I just asked her to do what she could! ”

The man then punched again—and the bridge of Lemuel's nose almost shattered!

Dizzy, his vision was full of seemingly inexplicable ghosting......

The body staggered and fell against the wall! But at that moment, he was held up by some body that was also trembling—

"You...... Idiot or stupid! How can I be worth it!? ”

...... So at that time, the reason why I was against doing this was because I knew that things would definitely develop like this-

"Enough is enough! Enough is enough...... Father. Anyway, I will be obedient and will not resist again...... So......! ”

"What are you talking about...... As you can see, I'm still ......"

As a result, before he could finish speaking, his body trembled heavily......

In an instant, he was hugged by Riveria with just the right amount of force-

"What kind of hero are you doing so far...... Isn't this already covered in wounds? ”

"I've said that before, right? You don't need to do it for me...... Thanks, though. ”

This is undoubtedly the voice that lingers in my ears for a long time.

But even if she said it so neatly, her body at this moment was trembling to the point that she couldn't stop.

Even better than yourself......

"Really, what the hell is the hero...... Which way? ”

- And at that moment, someone broke into the door......

“...... Sure enough, it seems that I didn't come too late-"

The man who was there, and the voice, made Lemuel not believe his eyes for a moment......

"Lela, why are you here?"

Before answering his seemingly stupid question, Rila helped them both up.

Then he faced Lemuel...... Then I slapped my boyfriend hard!

"Woooooooo Why was it me who was fanned?! ”

In the blink of an eye, he was completely stunned...... Instantly aggrieved -

However, at this moment, Leela only ignored this as self-inflicted, and it could be seen that she was now angry......

"Didn't I say that if you see something wrong, call the police?"

"It's so desperate! Are you just listening to my words?! ”

"Sorry...... I'm sorry! ”

"But even so, I think I've been a little wronged by this slap-"

"You're still talking? As a reward that worries me so much, a slap is already quite cheap, right? ”

After saying that, he stepped on his instep fiercely!

"Yes, yes, yes! As you said, I've been fully reflective...... Pain, pain, pain?! ”

"Really?"

"Really...... true?!"

Unconsciously, she strengthened her strength again-

"Actually, after you went out, I also pinched the time to go out just in case, and then followed all the way here."

"Because I'm really worried......

Then, she turned to the people behind her who looked like they had never met—

"Then, Mr. Policeman, I'll leave the rest to you."

It wasn't until here that it dawned on Lemuel -

It turned out that she had already called the police...... Before you show your cards......

"Got it, please leave it to us."
