By the time I came to my senses, the other party had already hung up the phone, and I didn't even notice that the receiver had fallen at my feet. I just feel uncomfortable and helpless, as well as an inexplicable feeling of suffocation. It's like being grabbed by the throat by someone who doesn't exist here.

So, I couldn't help but clench my fists and hit the wall again and again!

"Brother!? What's wrong! What happened? ”

Natsume, who heard the movement, ran over and grabbed my hand with a look of confusion and disbelief on his face, stopping me. Then he walked around in front of me and slowly crouched down, and asked with his eyes wide open.

"Lola seems to be ...... Get nailed. The phone call just now was from the other party. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my shoulders fell along with my arms, and my body staggered and fell forward uncontrollably...... Natsume stretched out his hand and circled around my back, catching me steadily.

To be honest, I'm in a terrible mood right now, and I don't know what to do or what I can do. At this time, Ming Ming quietly put his usual hand on my head, imitating my mother's movements when I was a child, and stroked it over and over again.

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

Then, her gentle voice slowly came from above.

"I, I want to save her."

"Really? Wouldn't that be the only way to do that? ”

"But, you know that, right? With my current body, I can't do such a thing. ”

Suddenly, my voice began to feel a little self-defeating. The moment it rang out of my throat, I hated it so much that I even felt that it wasn't my own voice at all.

"So, let's call Sister Shion and Sister Hequan to discuss it. There's always a way! ”

At this time, Natsume told me in a confident voice and expression.

"Moreover, if you retreat because of this, then you really left Sister Lola behind!"

Then, Natsume's expression suddenly became very serious, looked me in the eye, and told me.

"And I think that since the other party has personally called to tell you about this, if you don't show up in the place he designated in the end, then Sister Lola's situation may become even more dangerous than it is now."

"That's right......"

When I heard Natsume say this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and my expression gradually became refreshing and bright.

"I'll contact Sister Hequan and Sister Shion now!"

With that, she let go of me gently, stood up, and quickly walked through the hallway, disappearing into her room. But it didn't take long for him to run back again. Looking at my face, he coughed a few times before slowly telling me what he had just said in the room—

"Sister Hequan said that she will come over immediately, and she will try to contact Sister Ziyuan on the way!"

"Really? That's great! ”

After listening to Natsume's word-for-word retelling, the sense of anxiety in my heart finally faded a little.

However, at this time, her expression suddenly became serious—

"Brother, I'm going there this time!"

Suddenly, I was taken aback by her decision, and my eyes widened. I thought it was something wrong with my ears.

"What are you talking about? How could I allow such a thing!

So, without even thinking about it, I interrupted her in my own voice. But she didn't pay any attention to it, and walked past me on her own. When I got to the balcony, I was collecting the clothes that had been dried out yesterday; With his back to me, he continued what I had interrupted.

"But brother, you can't do anything without me, right? Or do you have a way to go alone? ”

"I really can't go alone, but aren't there still Shion and Izumi? Are you so worried? ”

As soon as the words fell, a sense of anxiety slowly rose in my heart that I couldn't explain.

I think the reason why I feel this way is because Natsume—my sister has a lot of weight in my heart, right?

"It's not!"

At this time, a somewhat angry voice suddenly came from the balcony. In an instant, when Natsume looked at me, I happened to look at her. That's how the eyes met.

"I just don't want to be separated from you anymore, brother. I don't want you to go somewhere I don't know anymore! ”

Natsume shook her head vigorously as she told me what was in her heart. Unconsciously, there was a cry in his voice. And let the tears run down his cheeks, and drop by drop to the floor. Then he slowly walked up to me—

"Why don't you understand!"

Now, she seems to want me to understand my thoughts more than to wipe my tears.

In an instant, there was only one fist left between us, almost touching the tip of our nose......

"I just don't want you to be in danger—"

So, I hesitated, and then slowly reached for her cheek—

"After all, if you're in danger, or if something happens, I'm ...... If I had to face the reality of losing you, I really don't know what I would do. ”

"In that case, then I should go with you."

As soon as I finished speaking, she emphasized it again.

"Why?!"

"Because, brother, what you just said, that's the same for me. So whatever you say, I'm going to follow! ”

Natsume's voice was calm, but he was desperately trying to convince me.

But just as our argument became more and more serious, and gradually developed in the direction of quarreling, the doorbell rang—

It also happens to be an opportunity for us not to argue any further.

"I'm going to open the door. It's possible that Izumi-Sister they—"

"Hmm."

I nodded. Then I couldn't help but think of the reason for the argument just now, and suddenly laughed a few times helplessly.

"Really, stupid or not, I'm ......"

At this time, Izumi's voice came from the entrance—

"Chihiro, are you there?"

"I'm here."

Mixed with the voice that seemed very anxious and very energetic, there was also the footsteps of Aster.

"Elaborate on that? So what's going on? Why would Lola — she should be at work today, right? Why do you get a call like that? ”

As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Izumi asked several questions in a row.

Suddenly, I had to shrug my shoulders, my expression was a little helpless, and the voice coming from my throat was full of anxiety.

"I still want to know this!"

After speaking, he sighed with a gloomy expression. Looked away from her face and stared at the floor for a long time.

At this time, Natsume stood up from next to me, walked to the kitchen, opened the cabinet above and took out the teapot and cup. Then I picked up the unopened tea bag from the side, cut it with scissors, and then poured the tea leaves into the mug, and then slowly added an appropriate amount of water......

"Sister Hequan and Sister Ziyuan, are you thirsty?"

As he spoke, he put the brewed tea on the coffee table in front of the two of them, which also happened to interrupt the conversation between us.

"Thanks, Natsume—"

Shion immediately thanked her...... I couldn't help but smile at Natsume. Izumi too......

Of course, Natsume also put a glass in front of me. Then, he sat down next to me at a distance. This made Shion and Izumi feel a little surprised and embarrassed.

"You don't have to worry about me, just keep talking—"

At this time, Natsume narrowed his eyes as if he was a little amused.

"Okay, ahem—"

So, Shion cleared her throat and raised her confusion to me as she sorted out her thoughts. At the same time, her expression became very serious......

"Chihiro, why do you want to save Lola?"

"Why?"

Suddenly, my eyes widened in surprise and I looked at Shion's face with some confusion.

"Does it have to be a reason?"

I couldn't help but answer her question, and my expression was slightly annoyed. But I immediately calmed down again. From Shion's point of view, Lola and I don't have much in common in this world, so it's not surprising that she would ask such a question.

"For me, that reason is still very important. Otherwise, I can't fully trust you. ”

Shion nodded and told me again in a calm voice.

But after saying that, her expression softened a little. Doesn't seem to be so defensive of me......

"By the way, I'd like to hear that reason too."

At this time, Izumi also showed an interested expression and sat down where Shion had just been sitting. Ziyuan, who was pushed away without saying anything, although her expression was quite unhappy, she still gave up her position.

Instantly, he sat down next to me.

"Hey!"

In an instant, Izumi made a very unwilling voice. The expression is very tangled......

"I've given you the place I just had. Do you still have any grievances? ”

With an innocent expression on her face, Shion said sarcastically and sarcastically.

Suddenly, she was so angry that she could hear the sound of grinding her teeth......

"Well, Chihiro...... Can you tell us what kind of relationship you have with Lola in that world where you intersect? ”

Izumi put his hands on his knees and quietly clenched them into fists, and after glaring at Shion, who was snickering incessantly and shaking his shoulders unconsciously, he looked at me again. Suddenly, that sharp gaze made me a little nervous.

"Although I only have a partial memory. But in that world, we seem to be married. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Shion was taken to my eyes, and I choked on the tea I had just drunk and coughed repeatedly, and I couldn't help but grab my knee unceremoniously. Instantly, a slight ache gradually accumulated, and my expression became very uncomfortable.

"Aster, can you —?!?"

Shion lowered her head and coughed for a long time before slowly raising her head again and putting the cup back into the coaster on the coffee table.

"What did you just say? You're married to Lola?! ”

However, she had just managed to let go of my knee and grabbed my sleeve again. This time, her face was so close that it almost touched mine! His eyes were wide open from surprise, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Moreover, even children ......"

As soon as the words fell, this time even Izumi let out a very strange exclamation from his throat......

"That's right...... If that's the case, you'll have to do it......"

It took a long time for the two of them to come back to their senses from their astonishment, and after taking a few deep breaths, they said to me.

"While it's a bit of a surprise to be a little bit surprised, there's no need to lie. So although it will take some time to accept, Chihiro ...... We believe in you. ”

After saying that, Shion reached out and patted me on the back vigorously. Then he squinted his eyes and smiled heartily.

"So, where's the location?"

"Northwest side, after passing through that forest, isn't there an abandoned warehouse?"

"Definitely. Is it there? ”

As she spoke, Shion looked at me with a skeptical expression.

"Could it be a trap?"

Then, he put forward his opinion in a serious way. I hesitated for a moment, but finally shook my head.

"Whether it's or not, you can only do what the other party says now, right?"

Suddenly, my voice was dull again. His expression was also a little deflated......

"That's right, then let's go!"
