In a remote alley shrouded in the deepening night, a girl in a junior high school uniform was leaning her back against the wall, her waist-length straight purple hair sticking to the wall, and some dust was also falling.

"Eh, gravity or something......

Perhaps because the other party's question was too incomprehensible, the girl did not react to the young man's frivolous behavior for a while.

Should you answer the question first, or should you ask the other person to stop first...... However, both of these choices should seem unusual when facing monsters that can easily kill humans.

The girl thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it anyway.

The young man didn't seem to expect her answer, didn't stop his movements, rubbed her cheeks, and lifted her long silky hair hanging down her chest with a happy expression, feeling the delicacy of the skin before revealing a satisfied look.

"These eyes are also outstanding...... You're a good fit, so are you going to merge with me mentally or physically? I'd recommend this option for all. ”

The young man easily uttered the words with a strong sense of crime, but the tone was as natural as that of a mascot who solicited customers on the street.

"The ......"

The girl didn't know what to say, so she looked up at the young man.

"Ah...... By the way, it's rude to not know your name before reaching such an intimate relationship. ”

The young man said to her with a smile on his face.

"So, what's your name?"

After a moment of silence, the girl gave the answer truthfully with the most instinctive thoughts.

"Asagami Fujino."

"Is it shallow...... It's not a shallow god anymore. ”

The young man looked thoughtful, "Then, I'll just call you Fujino, it's not suitable for talking here, let's leave first." ”

In a rather familiar tone, the young man directly took Fujino's hand and walked towards the alley.

Although he wanted to resist, because his strength was so weak that even resisting was a luxury, Asakami Fujino was involuntarily pulled out of the alley.

After walking out of the alley, the girl quickly lowered her head to check if there were any marks left on her feet from stepping on the blood-stained ground.

"Eh......"

But neither her small leather shoes nor her white stockings were dirty, and Fujino subconsciously looked back, only to find that at some point, the bloody alley had been eaten by the dark shadows.

It was as if the shadows that had swallowed up all the light around them covered every inch of the alley, erasing everything that had happened there.

"I'm not a good person, but I don't want to throw away my responsibilities, and the minced meat stuck to the wall will become difficult to clean up when the time comes, and I won't cause trouble for the cleaning staff."

Even Fujino Asakami, who felt abnormal, was stunned by such off-line words, she was led by the other party while staring at the broad back of the man in front of her, and for a while she was in a trance, and her thoughts were constantly tumbling.

She gradually understood what was going to happen next, first by missing the curfew, which made her father furious, and then by being questioned about what had happened, and that she would spit out everything as it was, who would not lie.

As a famous family in the Asagami family, when encountering such a situation, he will definitely be punished very severely in the end, and he will not even be able to go to school when he is a shame of his family, and his mother will be implicated.

In the end, I completely lost a place to go back.

Asakami Fujino is well aware of her situation, she is an accessory, a child brought over with her mother's remarriage.

Her father only needed the ones her mother had brought, the estates that belonged to the Asagami family.

Essentially, she was no different from the debts that came with the estate and caused the bankruptcy of the Asagami family.

Asakami Fujino once fantasized about being a chaste woman like her mother, a good student who was proud enough to make her father proud, and an ordinary girl who no one would think she was suspicious.

This effort is not for anyone, but for her own deep yearning for this dream.

But no matter how desperate you are, Asakami Fujino himself knows that since it is a fantasy, there will be a day when it will be shattered.

Although her requirements are not high, just ordinary happiness.

But to do this, you must first experience what it feels like to be alive.

Obviously everyone can have it, whether it is an adult who is older than her, or a child who is younger than her, why is she the only exception?

Asakami Fujino pinched his face, which was still ravaged before, with his free hand.

Nothing was felt.

Even if the intensity gradually increases, there is still no feeling, and even the fact that his face is being pinched looks so hazy.

Everything is so ethereal, in this body that can't even feel pain, in a consciousness that can't even understand the feeling of being alive or living, what is the point of the existence of the name Asakami Fujino?

Despite the usual evasion of this issue, Asakami Fujino has not been able to ignore it completely.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if you die, even if you are treated very excessively.

She is an incomplete person, an anomaly who cannot fit into society, and there is no possibility that she can be happy in this world.

Even though he had already accepted this in his heart, Asakami Fujino unconsciously put his hands on his chest and tightened his clothes.

She slowly lowered her head and stared at the clenched fist hand, under the influence of the previous frustration, she subconsciously deepened her strength, letting her nails pierce into her skin, and let the red blood drip from the palm of her hand.

Only such a deep color can give her an understanding of what is happening to her.

Otherwise, she would not have felt the pain, and she would not even be aware of the injury itself.

As if sensing Fujino's emotions, the man's footsteps suddenly stopped.

He turned his head and looked at Fujino, whose fingertips had been dyed bright red, and said in a confused and flirtatious voice.

"Miss Fujino, aren't you in pain?"

At the moment when the young man spoke, something suddenly broke in Asakami Fujino's body.

It's as if the rusty gears have finally been oiled, like the strings of the broken strings have been reconnected.

A feeling that Fujino had never felt before came from the bloody cracks in the palms of his hands.

Searing, intense sensation.

Hopeless, strange feelings.

Abnormal, pleasant sensations.

Asakami Fujino gripped Roland's hand tightly, watching the vivid experience coming from the palm of his hand, and the burning and souring sensation at the tip of her nose slowly spread to her eyes, making her eyes glisten with tears.

She followed Roland's previous question and said the answer she should have said.

"—it hurts."

"There are some things that cannot be changed to the way they are without them, but if you really desire, if you pray to me with all your heart, you will understand that this truth does not exist in front of me."

Then, Asakami Fujino suddenly noticed that the man, who seemed to know that she would behave like this, stared at her in the dim light without any cover.

It was a pair of eyes that were more magnificent than gems and clearer than the sky, perhaps because of the illusion brought by tears, Asagami Fujino faintly saw that in the depths of the other party's pupils, there were countless overlapping marks.

It's like a Chinese ink painting, a high-spirited horse.

"It's a little late to introduce yourself, but it's not too late, hello...... Fujino Asaue, my name is Roland"

He said with a smile.

"—won't you come and be friends with me?"
