56 Midnight Murderer

◎The end!◎

"If I have to choose between her and justice, I will work hard to bring her to the side of justice."

The words that Furuya Rei whispered in Hanano Chiheko's ear echoed clearly in her mind. Thinking of her brother, Hanano Chiheko's expression became a little more sober, and her fingertips, which had turned white from holding the finger tightly, slid down bit by bit.

Furiya Rei was heartbroken for a moment, and when Hanano Chiheko was completely exhausted, he reached back and grabbed Hanano Chiheko's hand.

Chihoko Hanano looked up in surprise and met Rei Furuya's concerned gray-blue eyes.

Furuya Rei said, "Why are your hands so cold?"

To Chihoko Hanano, who has read many books: ...this plot looks so familiar.

Although Hanano Chihoko knew that Furuya Rei was not that kind of person, she still had the unpromising habit of fantasizing in that direction.

"Ahem, it's okay, I just... I'll get used to it."

Furuya Rei clearly disagreed. Holding Hanano Chiheko's hand, he sat down beside the bed and asked seriously, "Even in this state, are you still going to compete?"

Finally ignoring the warmth in her palm, Hanano Chiheko nodded vigorously and tilted her head towards Furuya Rei. "You know me, I won't turn back until I hit a wall."

Furuya Rei looked at Hanano Chiheko for a moment, then stood up in a compromising manner. "Then can you get up?"

"Of course I must!" Hanano Chiheko adjusted her mood and clenched her fist with fighting spirit: "I'm not bragging, I can even feel the strength surge up all over my body. I think I can do it again!"

Furuya Rei observed Hanano Chihoko's condition and asked, "Really?"

"Of course!" Hanano Chiheko said, with an air of "Don't underestimate the poor young man!" "Don't forget, I'm not made of dough!"

"Are you sure you can play with your muscle weakness?"

Jinpei Matsuda looked at Chihoko Hanano, who had a "fighting spirit" on her face, and questioned her mercilessly.

A faint crack appeared on Hanano Chihoko's pretended strong face.

Hagiwara Kenji, who always supported Hanano Chihoko, also disagreed, saying, "Vigorous exercise at this time is very harmful to your health, Kozue...are you sure you want to do it?"

"Since I'm here now," Hanano Chiheko scratched her head. "At worst, I can just catch fish for a few days after the competition."

Morofushi Jingguang looked at Furuya Rei who had been silent at the side, and came to his senses. He said to Hanano Chiheko, "Since this is what you really think, then go ahead. I will cheer you on!"

"Yeah." A glimmer of hope appeared in Chihoko Hanano's eyes, and she moved her wrists and ankles.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring back a big medal, and then I'll treat you guys to a night out!"

Chihoko Hanano made the promise, as if only in this way could she comfort her friend while calming her increasingly nervous heart.

Although there is a high possibility of losing, at least she has tried, and she will not regret her retreat today.

Everyone took their positions, the whistle sounded sharply, and Chihoko Hanano mobilized her body and suddenly rushed out from the starting line.

"Hey, come on!"

Although Jinpei Matsuda is ruthless when it comes to insulting others, he is also quite reliable at times like this.

Fūya Rei's eyes were fixed on Hanano Chiheko, whose breathing was obviously unstable. His brows slightly furrowed, and his hands that were holding Hanano Chiheko's coat slowly tightened.

“Huff…”

As she felt her heartbeat about to jump out of her chest, Chihoko Hanano's eyes were suddenly covered by a layer of white filter.

The feeling of stomach cramps seemed to follow the rhythm of her heartbeat, hitting Hanano Chihoko again and again.

Chihoko Hanano took deep breaths of the dry air, and the whole world seemed to be reduced to just that one dot at the center of the gray world in front of her eyes.

The opponents around her surpassed her one by one, and this huge feeling of gap made Chihoko Hanano's eyes red.

Why

Why can't I succeed after practicing for so long and sweating so much?

As expected, no matter how wonderful I imagined it to be, when the time comes, I still feel so unwilling to accept it...

"Come on, Kazuko!" Seeing Chihoko Hanano gradually falling behind the others, Zhufu Jingguang became anxious. He turned around but did not see the figure of Furuya Rei.

"zero"

"Over there." Matsuda Jinpei pointed in a direction.

Chihoko Hanano clenched her jaw and moved her feet desperately, the cold wind blowing across her cheeks.

Suddenly, behind that point in my vision, a familiar blond figure appeared, shaking the stopwatch in his hand vigorously, shouting as if it were the last practice of the day: "Hold on a little longer, and you won't have to run today!"

Inexplicably stupid...

A bright smile appeared in Hanano Chiheko's eyes. She gathered strength in her body and rushed forward like a gust of wind.

At this moment, Chihoko Hanano seemed to have only that destination and that touch of golden hair in her heart and eyes.

“Ahhhh!”

The moment Hanano Chiheko crossed the finish line, her tense heartstrings suddenly broke. After rushing nearly ten meters due to inertia, she suddenly lost her balance. At the moment she was about to fall to the ground, her body was lightly caught by Furiya Rei and turned half a circle due to the force.

The scene in the novel where someone holds me and spins me around in circles was achieved so easily.

I have to say, Furuya Ling's embrace is so warm, just like the embrace of Juzi. I wonder if there is a belly as soft as Juzi's...

Hey, what are you thinking about?

After Hanano Chiheko came to her senses, she slightly despised herself for being so improper, and then allowed her vision to go completely dark.

"Wakko!!"

The voice of Jiang Gu Ling in my ears sounded so urgent.

Chihoko Hanano felt a little reluctant to make him worry so much, but no matter how she struggled, she felt like she was being possessed by a ghost and couldn't move at all.

Her consciousness became increasingly dizzy, and amid cheers, Chiheko Hanano fell into a deep sleep.

Chiheko Hanano was in a daze and felt someone covering her mouth and nose.

Although the hand covering her was so soft, it was also stubborn enough, as if it was determined to take her life today.

“Mmm…”

Chihoko Hanano struggled to break free, and her mind instantly flooded with plots from countless novels about murder and robbery that she had read. So... what was there about her that was good to rob?

While Hanano Chiheko was puzzled, her breathing suddenly became much smoother and the sleep paralysis phenomenon disappeared.

Before Hanano Chiheko could be happy, she suddenly found that there was something near her mouth and she was groping for something.

A sudden flash of inspiration came to Hanano Chiheko's mind. It must be that the bad guy just now failed to attack and wanted to attack again!

Hanano Chiheko felt her blood rushing up in an instant. She was already in such a dizzy state, but someone dared to take her life while she was sick. This was something her uncle could not tolerate, but her aunt could not!

Hanano Chiheko thought so and did just that, opening her mouth and taking a big bite.

"Hmm..." The man cried out in pain and tried to pull his hand away.

Hanano Chiheko had already activated her dog skills, biting her teeth a little tighter as she finally opened her eyes, trying to identify this malicious murderer in the dim moonlight...

Falling to zero? ? ?
