"Babble, babble!!!"

Stupid screams that even I had never heard before.

Anyway, it's too embarrassing to be thirty years old and afraid of thunder.

In such a situation, if your sister or friends see it, you can immediately dig a grave in the ground and bury yourself.

It's just thunder, and what's there to be afraid of.

Although ———— thought so, the upper body that had not lost its ability to move kept trembling.

The fear instinct for a bad imagination triumphs over reason.

The image of being struck by lightning could not be dissipated in my mind.

If I knew there would be a storm, I would have found an excuse to visit the café...... Like this, the emotion called regret spreads rapidly in the heart along with fear.

"If you rush back to the house———

Before he finished speaking, a loud "boom" sound came into his ears that was closer than just now.

The heartbeat is constantly racing.

The pretty face lost its bloody color.

The brain is stuck in a state similar to waiting for a restart.

In my panic, I have completely forgotten how much chance of being struck by lightning while staying at home. Tachibana Yukino closed her eyes and pushed the wheels of her wheelchair desperately with her memory, sprinting in the direction of the living room at a speed like running.

Then, in the corner place.

"Woo-goo————!!"

It was as if I had hit something.

The scream was lighter than that of a mosquito——— it was a sound she knew very well. For a moment, however, she couldn't remember who it was.

Before she could open her eyes, her body unconsciously fell forward because of the force of the thrust back.

——— it's not good, I'm going to fall!

When I thought about it, I reflexively closed my eyes.

However, unexpectedly, the hard touch of falling on the ground did not appear for a long time. Instead, the touch of being hugged by someone———— as if she was being treated as a fragile object, gently caught her body that was about to fly out.

.........

.........

"Babble, babble!!!"

It's been a few minutes since I arrived at the door of this Japanese-style house according to the address given to me by Tachibana Chizakura.

I knocked on the door and got no answer. Instead, screams with a palpable cry were heard.

Before noticing, he forcibly kicked the door open and rushed towards the source of the sound.

What's going on?

He and Yukino Tachibana have known each other for almost fifteen years. Although it's not intimate, day and night, but the relationship with each other is also very good.

Even when her feet were cut off, the strong and beautiful senior sister didn't let out such a helpless scream as if she was afraid or something.

What kind of thing can make the other party so panicked?

Is it a robber who burgheys?

No, not to mention that the door was locked before he came in. At that level, this senior sister can solve it with two fingers.

Even if he loses the ability to move his legs, the foundation of being one of the commanders of the thirteenth division remains. If there is no accident, even throwing a small stone can shatter the knee or elbow, and it can also take away the opponent's mobility without killing anyone.

So, is it a horde of robbers who look like cockroaches?

No, it's still not possible. Unlike him, this senior sister was not confiscated of her equipment when she was in the 13th Division of the Military Department when she retired. That level of battle scum, even the slimes in the game are not as good, even if you close your eyes, you only need to pull out the "Divine Weapon" to solve it all with a swipe as a last resort.

So, what happened to the unexpected situation that there was no way to deal with? For example, menstrual periods or something.

No, it's still impossible to think about it. To some extent, he is an outsider. This kind of private information, it is absolutely impossible for Tachibana Chizakura, as the sister of the other party, not to know. Anyway, it's impossible for the other party to let themselves come over on such a day, right?

Thinking quickly in my head. Although it is only a momentary thought, it is already a considerable degree of thoughtfulness for others.

In any case, I can't think of a reasonable explanation that can convince me. Because of this gift, my heart became more and more anxious.

With a foot force comparable to that of his heyday, he kicked the ground with a loud bang. It seems like I'm smashing the floor, but there's no time to care.

It only took a second to reach the end of the hallway. Then you just have to go around this corner to understand what happened.

——— just when Ji Yuehua was thinking like this.

"Woo-goo————!!"

It reminded him of his days in the army, as if the impact of being hit by a red horned triceratops from the front exploded in his abdomen.

It's more terrifying than you think.

If you want to describe it, it's like a straight fist thrown by a human being at a moment of life and death. In the current situation, it is a collision. The problem is that at the level of Tachibana Yukino, it is already a veritable killing move.

A burning pain came from the place of the abdomen.

But......

“————”

Until then.

In the interval of 0.00001 seconds, Ji Yuehua barely opened his eyes. What catches my eyes is something I've never seen before.,I've completely lost my mind.,The expression on her face feels like Tachibana Yukino who is about to cry out in fear.。

In his impression, this senior sister should be a more reliable sister, listening to the troubles of juniors and subordinates, and solving all problems in a sassy manner.

———— he had never seen an expression like this.

For a moment, it was as if the heart was being grabbed. It was ten times more painful than a physical impact.

I don't know what it's all about...... Before thinking, the body is already moving reflexively.

With a will like steel, he swallowed the pain and questions into his stomach with a muffled grunt, and stood steady like a rock. Then, in that instant, the "Mindless Mind" was activated.

If you take the example of a game, it's "bullet time".

The flow of time came to a standstill in an instant.

Everything in the horizon seems to be playing at the speed of slow motion.

Including the location of Tachibana Yukino, the time it takes for the other party to fall to the ground, it takes less than a second to understand the situation you are in now.

Ji Yuehua moved slightly to the right, blocking the front of Tachibana Yukino with her body. Then, adjusting the angle, he opened his arms to catch her in a position that would not hurt Yukino Tachibana, and gently held her in his arms.

The whole process is done in one go.

If there was a third person here, I would probably think that Yukino Tachibana jumped into his arms happily after seeing him, like a girl who saw her lover, right?

However, at this moment, he did not have the leisure to think about this kind of thing.
