When the door was slowly pushed open from the outside, we couldn't help but be ecstatic—

"It's finally time to get out! Brother! ”

Natsume was the first to stand up, reaching out from the side and pulling my sleeve, and couldn't help but shout. Lola's face was full of surprise, her eyes were wide open, and her eyebrows were almost at right angles. In the depths of those caramel-colored eyes, there seemed to still be a trace of doubt lingering.

Her eyes focused on the doorway, and the voice she came out of her throat seemed to be a little hesitant and confused.

"Who?"

She couldn't help but clench her fists and press them against the edge of her knees. The long bangs on the forehead also obeyed gravity and slowly drooped. And a little farther away, the person standing in the sunlight also seemed to be looking at this side with a smile and interest.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not your enemy—"

After taking a deep breath, she said. The voice is very calm, gentle and slightly serious.

"To put it simply, I'm here to save you. However, it took a little time to get here. Moreover, it will not be easy to find you. ”

"No, I didn't ask you that!"

At this point, Lola interrupted her a little carelessly.

"I'm asking for names! Who are you? All you have to do is tell me this! ”

As she spoke, she took another step forward. Stared closely at the girl in front of her, who was slightly half a head taller than herself, and had her long soft and smooth hair in a ponytail. At the same time, leaning forward slightly, he was carefully studying her face.

"In short, I am you."

After a while, maybe I felt a little embarrassed, right? She took a slight step back. Then he looked over Lola's shoulder and looked at Chihiro, who was also very surprised and even a little overwhelmed in his wheelchair.

"Long time no see...... It doesn't seem right, right? Chihiro? ”

In an instant, her voice became very gentle, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her eyes narrowed, and she asked with a smile.

Then, despite Lola, who was still staring at her, she walked around her without hesitation and walked quickly in front of me! I couldn't help but reach forward as well, trying and desperately stretching out......

"Brother......? Do you know her? ”

Natsume's voice came out of his throat in amazement, and with a very confused expression, his gaze kept turning between the two of us several times in succession...... Then, asked me this question.

"You're Natsume, aren't you?"

"Yes, are you—"

Natsume couldn't help but glance over to me and reached out and grabbed my sleeve. The expression is also a little stiff...... It's a bit like you want to talk and stop.

"Didn't Chihiro mention me to you?"

At this time, Natsume shook his head quickly and vigorously.

"Huh?"

In an instant, her voice seemed to be really disappointed, and she looked at me with a little anger.

"Isn't that a bit too much? Chihiro—"

She asked as she slowly crouched down in front of me, then reached out and gently held mine. And at this moment, Natsume, who was next to him, let out a small exclamation.

"What is that!?"

Now, her eyes are focused on the ring finger of her left hand, where she wears a ring.

"Do you and my brother say ......?"

Natsume muttered quietly.

At this time, her expression became bright and refreshing, and she smiled at Natsume.

"That may not be right, though...... But in another world, we are already married. ”

As she spoke, her expression suddenly became serious. It doesn't sound like a joke either......

"Really? Brother? ”

Natsume's voice was a little hesitant, and he looked at me with a mixture of consternation.

"Yes. But how could you ......? ”

Maybe it's because Natsume is staring at it like this, and Lola is embarrassed to stare at it unceremoniously, right? So, I quickly withdrew my hand, which was a little weak-hearted.

"If you're in danger, I'll be there wherever I am."

At this time, she straightened her back and said confidently in a boastful voice.

After that, before I could react, he gently poked my face with his fingertips—it felt a little itchy. However, just as she wanted to put her palm on it, Lola walked over from behind, blocked her body in front of her, and knocked her hand off.

"Even if that's the case, that's not what happened in this world!"

As soon as the words ended, I realized that there was something that could be called tears lingering in the corners of Lola's eyes.

"Sister Lola......"

Natsume whispered her name, and Lola looked at her and shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Next, use the back of your hand to wipe away the tears that are about to fall.

"Anyway, let's go out first!"

At this time, Natsume proposed in order to ease the atmosphere.

"That's right. After all, that's what I'm here for. Let's get out first, shall we? I'll talk about that later. Then, he walked around behind me and expertly pushed the wheelchair. Suddenly, Natsume's eyes widened again, and he blinked several times in a row, not knowing what to say.

And yet, just as we get to the steps—

"Natsume, can you help?"

Because of the steps, the wheelchair cannot go down smoothly. That's why she asked Natsume.

"I ...... I know! ”

At this time, Natsume, who seemed to be attracted by the flowers on the lawn, was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. Then, he hurriedly grabbed the handle from behind with her.

"Be careful—"

"Well, I know ......"

"There may be some uncomfortable feelings, so please bear with me a little in this regard! Chihiro. ”

With that, she winked at me. I couldn't help but laugh again......

But just then, something grazed my shoulder at a great speed—

"What......?"

Suddenly, I was stunned for a moment. Then I heard Lola's exclamation—

"Be careful!?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly ran over and knocked her shoulder away from her other self, who was concentrating on supporting her wheelchair. Then, he stretched out another hand and blocked Natsume with his body.

Keep your eyes fixed on the grass in the distance.

"There, what's ......!"

"What?"

Natsume looked up at Lola, her expression now very serious, serious, surprised, and even mixed with a hint of disbelief.

"Take Chihiro with you! Immediately now!! ”

Then, in a very anxious and serious voice, he shouted at Natsume.

"We have been targeted! If you continue to stand still, you will become a target! ”

With that, she ran towards the grass that she had just noticed was unusual!

"Wait, Sister Lola! One person's words are too dangerous! ”

Natsume, who got up from the floor, chased after him without even thinking about it! But before she could catch up, she stopped.

"Sure enough, it's you, Nangong ......"

"Wow, you remember my name! So happy......! ”

Then, Nangong, who suddenly appeared from the grass, made a piercing sound from his throat. The facial muscles couldn't help but move at odd angles several times in a row. Then he slowly narrowed his eyes.

He slammed his hand on Lola, who was locking her hands from behind, and in an instant, Lola's body suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground. Then, there was another pain in my stomach that I couldn't ignore! It almost made her vomit the contents of her stomach.

Then he rolled several times before his back hit the pillar before stopping......

"Stop!"

At this time, Nangong ignored my angry shout and rushed over to make up for a few more kicks...... The southwestern sky suddenly became gloomy at this time, and thick cumulonimbus clouds were drifting towards it. It looks like it's going to rain......

"If you have any grievances, you can come at me!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I put my hands on my knees and couldn't help but clench. Because of anger, I am shaking!

"Really? That can be on your head...... Dig a hole?

Nangong stopped as if he was finally attracted by my words...... But his request even made me wonder if I had misheard...... Then, before he could react, he pointed at him with the utility knife in his hand—

However, this kind of statement and practice also made someone unbearable - she rushed to Nangong from next to me with great momentum, kicked off the utility knife he was holding before he could react, and then turned around and made another knee blow so fast that I couldn't even see the trajectory clearly-

Hit him straight in the stomach.

Suddenly, he arched his body, and with a painful expression, he kept staggering back with his hands on his stomach...... Then, I couldn't help but kneel...... Raising her head and staring at Lola from another world with angry eyes, her expression seemed to be unconvinced.

And Lola ignored it, walked over and went around her back at a fast speed, and unceremoniously pounced on her again! Suddenly, he lay on the grass in an ugly and somewhat funny position.

"Originally, I was only going to watch from the sidelines, but if your goal is Chihiro, I will never let you go!"

Lola's voice was calm, but when she said this, it was a little creepy......
