The moment I came back to my senses, I grabbed her outstretched hand! "Why?!" Then, looking at her expression of surprise that she forgot to blink, I couldn't help but say the question in my heart without even thinking about it. Suddenly, the moment they met their eyes, Lola seemed to have the same question in her heart.

Even if she can't say it in her own voice, I can feel it. Now, however, it's not the time to care about that kind of thing. "Hold on to me, don't let go!!" Right now, Lola's feet are not supported at all, and if I let go, she will fall. "I'm going to pull you up! So don't let go! ”

At this point, my voice was nervous, but I shouted to her with all my might. "Don't let go!!"

Lying on the edge of the balcony, I said, holding her hand tightly. But it didn't take long for a tingling sensation to slowly spread from his fingertips, like a creeper...... First with the fingertips, then the palms, then the arms...... up to the shoulders.

As it gets more intense, I don't know how much longer I can hold on. A chill crept up my back, and suddenly the bottomless sense of fear almost overwhelmed me. It's like sinking into the pitch black ocean alone......

"Don't give up, don't give up!"

As I spoke, I pulled Lola up a little bit, and at that moment, there was a crunch in her left hand, near her wrist—it seemed like something was breaking. Suddenly, I was stunned for a moment, and looked at the place where the sound came from—

It turned out to be a bracelet.

Now, at a very fast pace, it has fallen...... After a while, even the shadows were gone. Then, in order not to let go of my left hand, which had been completely swallowed up by the soreness, I stretched out my right hand again! Then, pull Lola up little by little again!

Honestly, it took all the effort! Cold sweat fell one by one, and my breathing became messy over time, and my throat hurt as if it had been burned. At this time, Lola suddenly shook her head. He looked me in the eye with a very serious expression, and then smiled wryly......

"Let it go?"

She seems to have said so.

"Long-winded! I'm not going to let go! ”

I didn't even think about it, and I shouted at her. With the loudest sound that I can make now! "It's better to fall with you than that!" With that, I pulled her up a little more! However, that distance was not enough.

I tried to pull it up, but the part of my arm that was close to my shoulder was now in terrible pain, and the feeling made my whole face wrinkle, and my expression became strange and painful! At this time, I saw a figure below......

Because he happened to pass in front of the bench, the light of the street lamp next to him fell on the person's face. "Hey! I don't know who you are, but can you help! At this time, I shouted with all my strength.

"Please, help me if you can!"

Then the man slowly raised his head and looked to my side, near the direction of the window. "What?!" Although it was a bit far away, it was still found. "Lola?!" It turned out that the person who happened to pass by was none other than Izumi.

"What's going on!?"

Suddenly, she was so frightened that her expression seemed to be frozen, and there was a long delay. It looks extremely stiff...... "In other words, the voice just now is ...... Chihiro?! Immediately after, Izumi immediately moved his body and ran towards me with all his might!

"Hold on a little longer, I'll be right here!"

It wasn't long before she appeared behind me, her hands on her knees, panting a little. "Please help me!" Then, Izumi nodded, his expression very serious. "Let's do it together!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands and grabbed Lola's arms tightly—

"Got it!"

So, although it took some time, we managed to pull Lola up in the end. It's just that it didn't take long for all three of them to lie on the ground with exhaustion...... I don't even want to open my eyes. Since there is no carpet on the balcony, the feeling of the back is a little uncomfortable.

But for me now, this feeling of being cold and hard, and a little painful if I accidentally hit an uneven place has become bearable. So, I opened my eyes and looked to the side while adjusting the rhythm of my breathing, which was still chaotic......

Lola is not far from me. "So, what the hell is going on?" At this time, Izumi moved a chair from the corner of the balcony and asked us as he sat down. The expression is honestly very annoyed and at the same time incomprehensible.

The gaze circled across our faces several times.

"Why is this happening?"

The attitude and tone are also very cold, but it doesn't look like he's angry, but he seems to be a little worried. Then, I couldn't help but glare at me. "I don't know......" Suddenly, my voice was a little embarrassed, and the moment I met looked away from her face.

"What happened?" At this time, Izumi's voice couldn't help but be a little irritable. Then, her gaze turned to Lola, and the moment they met their gaze, she asked. The expression was very confused. "Isn't it possible to quarrel with that person again?"

Then, he said his own speculation.

"It's not."

Lola was silent for a moment before speaking in a voice that seemed to be talking to herself. It's quiet, but it's quiet, so you can hear it clearly. "Today, my textbook was lost again. It's only the first day of college, can you believe it! ”

"That's enough......"

At this time, Lola used the notebook next to her and wrote these words at a very fast pace. "Where was it left?" Izumi took the notebook she handed over, looked down and asked. "Isn't there a fountain when you enter the school gate?"

Then, the two continued to exchange notebooks while communicating.

"Is it possible, is it there?"

At this point, Lola nodded. Then he turned his face out of sight. After a while, you can hear the sound of sniffing without a match. However, the pen in his hand did not stop. "Is it all?"

I don't know how many times Izumi has sighed, and his voice can't help but become a little angry. "By the time I finally got them out, they were no different from waste paper. And when I went out looking for it, they used my desk as a graffiti skateboard or something. Write something nasty on it—"

"What do you mean by nasty words?"

"For example...... me or something......"

With that, she finally turned her face again. Towards Izumi...... It's just that there's no expression on it. "Of course, there's much more to it than that...... I thought that as long as I graduated from high school, as long as I survived three years, these things would end naturally—"

Then, she whispered, to herself. It seems to be looking at Izumi, but it doesn't seem to be. "But it turned out that it was all wishful thinking! This will never end! As long as I'm alive...... This kind of thing will go on and on! ”

At this point, the words in the notebook gradually became hysterical, and they undoubtedly represented Lola's current mood—pain, sadness, loneliness, and helplessness. These negativity almost overwhelmed her. No, it's already submerged, right?

"In that case, since these things will only disappear if I disappear, wouldn't it be better to do so? Perhaps, this choice will be easier. Isn't it? After reading this, Izumi slowly raised his head and handed the notebook to me......

"Let's see—"

With that, she turned her back to me and walked from one end of the balcony to the other. When I closed the notebook and looked up, I noticed that her shoulders were shaking slightly. "Are you alright?" So I walked over and put my hand on her shoulder in order to comfort her. But at the end of the day, I can't think of anything else.

"Those people, why can those people do such excessive things!"

“...... I don't know. ”

Suddenly, my voice was a little helpless. "Perhaps, it's just because Lola can't hear that that's why we targeted her, right?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh. "Don't they know that doing so will drive people to a dead end?"

"Of course I do!"

Instantly, my voice couldn't help but be a little excited. "But they don't care!"

"I think it's ...... too"

Unconsciously, Izumi's voice was mixed with more anger. I couldn't help but clench my fists...... "Not to mention, if they can get pleasure and pleasure from doing something like this, then—"

At this point, Lola reached out from behind and patted me on the shoulder. The moment I turned around, she retracted her hand behind her back and smiled sheepishly. Then, the distance between me and me was shortened. "Chihiro, thank you for saving me......"

I guess I want to talk about this, right? It's just that I forgot that I can't make a sound. Then, with a sigh, her expression became a little lost, and she took the pen and notebook from Izumi's hand. Then I tore off a page from it and wrote down what I wanted to say.

Then, it was handed to me. And sure enough, it was—"Thank you for saving me, Chihiro." He added a smiling emoji to the back. Speaking of which, tomorrow, there seems to be fireworks on the other side of the square—"

"Are you going?"

At this time, Izumi walked up to me and asked with a relaxed expression. "Okay......" I hesitated, but agreed. It's just that the expression is still a little confused. Because I don't understand the reason for Izumi's sudden proposal.

"It's a change of mood!"

At this point, she seemed to see through my thoughts and held out a finger. The voice said a little excitedly. It seems that he has completely recovered from the emotions just now. Then, as he walked up to me, he suddenly leaned his face over as if he were whispering—

"Besides, I have something I want to ask you too."

Suddenly, I was stunned for a moment, but when I reacted and couldn't help but ask, she had already left. Moreover, he kept a certain distance from me. The expression is no different from usual......
