By the way, it may also be the relationship between Megumi Eto who was bullied by Shimizu Biru of Soma Photon Group when they were in the same class for the first time when they were promoted to the second grade. Shimizu Hiruno would deliberately reach out to trip her over her or cut her skirt with a utility knife when he passed her in the hallway. However, recently, Shimizu Bilu Nai may have lost interest in Eto Megumi, and he has bullied her less often.

Although Mitsuko Soma has not bullied Megumi.

However, Soma Mitsuko is a character who is even more afraid than Shimizu Luno.

That's right, Mitsuko Soma will be happy to kill me.

Thinking of this, Megumi Eto's body trembled again.

Ahh......h Megumi Eto hugged her body tightly with her arms, desperately suppressing the shaking of her body.

Megumi Eto was under the dining table, and she could see Mitsuko Soma's hand holding the flashlight, and her waist skirt floating in the light. In the drawer of the counter, there was the sound of squirming for items.

Hurry up, get out of this house! At least I can run into the bathroom when she leaves the room.

If it's there, you can lock it from the inside and escape through the window. Please hurry up and leave!

Gurgling, a burst of electronic sound suddenly sounded, which frightened Megumi Eto's heart as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Mitsuko Soma was also taken aback.

The light of the flashlight was turned off at once, and the lines of the skirt disappeared.

I could feel her moving quickly into the corner of the room.

Megumi Eto found that the electronic sound was coming from his pocket and hurriedly took out his phone. Almost without thinking much about it, he reflexively opened the button cover and pressed the button randomly.

The voice came from the phone. "I'm Kitano. Eto, I advise you to turn off the power of this phone. If the teacher calls you like this, won't Eto's location be exposed? Do you hear that? So ......"

Megumi Eto's fingers fumbled for the call stop button, and pressed it hard, and Sakamochi's voice disappeared immediately. The breathless silence lasted for a while. And then ......

"Megumi?" Mitsuko Soma suddenly asked, "Is it Megumi?" Are you there? ”

Listening to the voice, Mitsuko Soma seems to be in the kitchen corner.

Megumi Eto gently placed her phone on the ground, holding her stun gun tightly in her hand.

Her hands were shaking more and more, and the stun gun was like a fish trying to jump out of her hands, but she held it very hard, very hard.

Although Soma Mitsuko's height is taller than Eto's Megumi, the strength of the two should be about the same, and he still has a stun gun in his hand, so if he can hit, he should be .......

But what is Soma Photon's weapon? It can't be a pistol, right? No, if that were the case, Soma Mitsuko should have shot in his direction a long time ago. If it's not a pistol, then there's a chance to win. That's right, I have to kill her, and if I don't kill her, Mitsuko Soma will definitely kill herself.

You can't kill her.

Suddenly, there was a click, and the light of the flashlight returned.

The light shone under the table, and Megumi Eto instantly felt dazzled. Just stand up now, point at the source of the light, and stab the stun gun forward.

However, Megumi Eto's anticipated action was abruptly interrupted by the unexpected development of events.

The light of the flashlight fell lower, and in the faint light, I saw Soma Mitsuko sitting on the floor and looking at herself, her eyes still glistening with tears.

"Great!" Her trembling lips finally moved, and she hung her head and said, "People...... Family...... I'm so scared! ”

Mitsuko Soma's voice was whimpering.

His hands stretched forward, as if he was going to ask Megumi Eto for help.

There were no weapons or anything on hand.

Then Mitsuko Soma said in one breath, "If it's you, if it's you...... It doesn't matter, right? You're not going to want to kill me, are you? You...... Would you like to stay with me? ”

Megumi Eto was at a loss for a moment.

That Mitsuko Soma is crying.

She was begging for my help.

The trembling of her body disappeared briskly, and an indescribable emotion surged into Megumi Eto's heart.

yes, I see. No matter how bad people say she is; No matter how bad the rumors say about her, Mitsuko Soma is just like herself, just a girl in the third grade of middle school.

Even Mitsuko Soma can't do such a murderous and horrific thing as killing his classmates, right? She was alone now, scared, terrified.

And what about me, what a transgressive person I am?

A sense of self-loathing, and a sense of reassurance that someone is with you and you don't have to be alone, fills Eto's chest at the moment.

Megumi Eto also shed tears.

The stun gun slipped from Megumi Eto's hand.

Leaving the table, he crawled forward on his knees and held the outstretched hand of Mitsuko Soma. The embankment in his heart seemed to collapse, and he shouted, "Soma-san! Soma-san! ”

Megumi Eto trembled all over, but knew in her heart that this time it was because of another emotion.

Either way, it doesn't matter. I...... I......

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll be with you. Let's do it together. ”

"Uh-huh." Mitsuko Soma wiped her tear-stained cheeks with her hand and shook Megumi Eto's hand back.

"Uh-huh."

Just a vigorous nod.

Megumi Eto holds this posture and hugs Mitsuko Soma on the kitchen floor. Soma Mitsuko's body temperature was transmitted. When she felt Mitsuko Soma's body, which was trembling with fear, through her arm, her guilt grew stronger.

My thoughts were so terrible, how could I be so excessive and want to kill her!

"That ......," Megumi Eto's mouth came out.

"I ...... I ......"

"Huh?" With tears in her eyes, Mitsuko Soma looked up at Megumi Eto.

Megumi Eto shook her head from side to side and closed her lips tightly so as not to whimper.

"I ...... I feel so ashamed. For a split second, I almost killed you. At that time, I thought to myself, I must kill you. Because I'm so scared. ”

Hearing this, Soma Mitsuko's eyes instantly widened.

But she didn't get angry, just nodded slightly with tears on her face, and then smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't care." It's inevitable, because things have turned out so terrible. Don't care. Is it okay to stay with me? Please. ”

Looking at Mitsuko Soma's appearance, Megumi Eto thought to herself: It turns out that I have misunderstood before.

I didn't expect Mitsuko Soma to be such a kind-hearted girl. In the face of people who want to kill themselves, they can still be lenient and say don't care.

I remember that Mr. Hayashida, who had been killed, always said to us, "You can't judge a person by hearsay." That's what only people with ugly hearts do. ”

Thinking of this, Megumi Eto had mixed feelings in her heart.

Only hugging Soma Mitsuko's body tightly.

That's all I can do now.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm such an ugly person at heart. I really am......

"By the way, these photos are all from the three villages!" As if he had found something, with the help of the light of the flashlight, Mitsuko Soma looked at the few photos that leaked out of Megumi Eto's backpack with a look of surprise and said.

"Nasty, don't do that." Megumi Eto hurriedly snatched the photo shyly and put it in her bag.

Because the backpack was still in the corner of the table, because she was too shy and cared too much about the photo, Megumi Eto forgot that the stun gun hadn't been picked up yet.
