Chapter 43

Saki shivered and hugged herself.

Obviously, obviously everything was fine before... But when I thought about going to the bathroom by myself to brush my teeth, wash my face, take a shower, and go to the toilet, ahhhh!

What red hand, green hand, big white hand...

Help!

Saki wanted to pinch her Ren Zhong.

what to do……

My parents were away on business all year round, so it was obviously impossible to call them back. Besides, they seemed very busy, so calling them now to ask for comfort would only disturb them.

At this moment, a figure appeared in Saki's mind.

That’s right, her boyfriend Inumaki Saki!

This is when a boyfriend comes in to help.

Thinking of this, Saki called Inumaki Satoru.

The call was connected quickly.

“Salmon?”

There was a hint of concern and confusion in Inumaki Saki's voice. After all, it had only been a short time since they separated, and Saki called, which seemed a bit strange.

Based on past experience, she should have chosen to send a message.

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the other end of the line, Saki relaxed a little.

Then she thought of something -

I was impulsive! I called Gou Juanji, but they couldn't communicate anything through voice chat.

After all, Inugami Satoru speaks Onigiri, and she obviously hasn't reached the tenth level of Onigiri.

Plus, they don't have telepathy or anything...

Communication may become the biggest problem.

But she felt a little reluctant to let Saki hang up.

"Well, it's me, Thorn."

——Ah, so stupid, of course the other party knew it was hers, after all, there is caller ID and so on.

It was very quiet over there, giving off a gentle illusion in the still night: "Salmon, salmon."

Saki thought about it and did not hide her situation.

There was a hint of frustration and grievance in her voice: "I, I'm a little scared..."

Goujuanji paused for a moment, and the next moment, his tone immediately changed: "Salmon? Big mustard?"

Worrying about Saki, he stood up immediately and subconsciously wanted to rush out.

Inumaki Ji wanted to ask, but he could only use rice ball language, which Saki might not understand.

Realizing this, Goujuanji couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Fortunately, Saki quickly explained, "It's because of the horror movie we watched today. It was fine during the day, I basically forgot about it after watching it, but now that it's dark and I'm alone at home, those movie scenes and plots keep replaying in my mind, making me a little scared."

When she said this, her voice dropped, "What should I do..."

Inujuki's voice was filled with anxiety and worry. He tried to comfort Saki: "Dajie Dajie..."

But the comforting effect that scarce language can bring is obviously very good.

Goujuanji pursed his lips.

if……

If I use the power of the spell, maybe I can help Saki fall asleep faster. If she falls asleep, she won't be afraid anymore.

But he hadn't told Saki about the sorcerer, and what if the other party suddenly fell asleep... Although it was summer now, he didn't know Saki's situation, and it would be bad if she caught a cold.

Thinking of this, Goujuanji couldn't help but lower his eyes and pursed his lips slightly.

Saki was still complaining, "I haven't washed yet. I don't even dare to go to the bathroom because I'm afraid there's a ghost in there... Even though I know it's fake and there are no ghosts in this world, but, but I'm still scared."

Goujuanji whispered: "Salmon, Dajie..."

Saki's side also became quiet.

Goujuanji couldn't help but clench his fingers.

In this situation, Saki obviously wanted to seek comfort, but he...

Inujuanji hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tuna mayonnaise."

Saki: “Hmm?”

The next moment, the call was hung up.

Saki blinked in surprise and checked her phone.

Yes, it was indeed hung up.

Before she could ask, she received a message from Goujuanji.

【Tuna Rice Balls Are the Best】: If you’re scared and alone at home…

[Tuna rice balls are the best]: I, I can go over and accompany you.

Saki: Huh?

What she originally thought was to ask Inujuan Ji if he could stay on the phone with her until she finished washing up, even though that would be a bit shy...but if she could use shyness to overcome her fear, it wouldn't be a bad idea!

But just as Saki was hesitating about how to make such a request, Inumaki Satoru hung up the phone and sent this message.

Saki: Hmm.

It seems that this is not impossible?

It would even make people feel more at ease if he came in person rather than just over the phone.

After all, it’s obviously safer to have a living person at home!

...Wait, but isn't it a bit too bold to invite your boyfriend to your house at night? If my mom finds out, she'll probably beat him to death!

No, no, no, they wouldn't do anything taboo-breaking right now! They're just keeping me company, don't take it the wrong way.

Saki coughed lightly and felt a little shy for some reason.

She pinched her earlobe.

Do you want to agree?

[Long Live the Striped Puppy]: Good...!

Sent out!

Saki glanced at her phone screen and facepalmed.

Ahhh, she actually sent it out, she agreed!

Saki fell on the sofa, covered her red face, and kicked her legs.

After a moment, she released her arms.

...That's fine.

After all, this is the most effective method.

Saki never suspected that Inumaki Saki would do something bad to her. After all, such behavior was strictly speaking very dangerous, and even a boyfriend should not take it lightly.

However, she was not wary of Goujuanji.

Maybe he was too trustworthy.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

After learning that Inumaki Ji was coming, Saki was not so afraid of ghosts anymore.

Of course, she also knew that this was just a momentary emotion. If she told Inumaki Ji to go back at this time, Saki felt that she would still be afraid of ghosts after a while.

Besides, Inujuan Ji should have left school by now...

-

Inujuan Ji was also very nervous after sending the message.

He swallowed unconsciously and stared at the phone screen.

My heart is pounding.

Saying something like this suddenly... might be rash and rude, but he couldn't think of any other solution.

This is the only thing he can do now.

As for whether it would be too tiring or too far to run out so late, it was not within Goujuanji's consideration.

The phone vibrated and the other party replied.

Goujuan's fingers trembled slightly, and he nervously opened his phone to check.

[Long Live the Striped Puppy]: Good...!

Agreed.

Goujuanji couldn't help but open his eyes wide and his breathing quickened.

Then, without thinking too much, he rushed out of the dormitory.

*

Since she hadn't washed up yet, Saki poured herself a glass of juice and opened a bag of snacks.

Well, I always feel a little guilty about having a snack in the middle of the night.

She looked down at her waist and continued eating snacks as if nothing had happened.

How long will it take for Goujuanji to get here?

Saki hasn't asked him where his school is, but judging from previous information, it doesn't seem to be that close, right?

After all, I haven't heard of any religious schools nearby.

Thinking of this, Saki simply took out her cell phone to search for information about religious schools in Tokyo.

Um... nothing!

She simply gave up checking and sent a message to Goujuanji asking him where he was and how the journey was going, and waited for his reply.

However, Gojuanji, who always replied immediately, did not read the message this time.

Saki propped up her chin.

Is it too late to watch?

What happened on the road?

All kinds of speculations came into her mind.

It’s no wonder she was nervous. After all, it was so late, and even boys had to protect themselves when going out.

Just as Saki was hesitating whether to make a phone call to inquire, her cell phone vibrated, and at the same time, the doorbell rang outside.

[Tuna Rice Balls Are the Best]: I'm here! [Bear Knocking on the Door.jpg]

So fast!

Saki immediately got up from the sofa and ran over to open the door for him.

"spine!"

Gou Juanji was wearing loose clothes and was probably in a hurry to come out, so he didn't wear a mask.

At this moment, he was standing outside the door, controlling his breathing without leaving any trace.

But even so, his rapid and still-unsettled breathing was still very obvious.

Goujuanji opened his lips slightly to control his rapid breathing.

This was completely different from his calmness when he was jogging before. It was obvious that the amount of exercise in a short period of time exceeded the standard, so even Goujuanji, who had good physical strength, revealed the "clue" at this moment.

His eyelashes fluttered.

"kelp……"

Saki pounced directly on him.

Goujuanji opened his eyes wide in surprise and hugged her subconsciously.

They collided with each other with their hot body temperatures.

To be precise, Inumaki's temperature was higher, as he had been jogging all the way from the subway station. Saki, on the other hand, had been staying indoors the entire time, lying down, so her temperature wasn't that high.

Goujuanji's arms first wrapped around her waist, and then he couldn't help but hug her tightly.

Saki pressed herself against him tightly, feeling his body temperature, his breathing, and the sound of his rapidly beating heart.

"You came so fast!"

Gojuanji whispered, "Salmon."

Saki: "Wow, thank you for your hard work."

Gojuan Ji shook his head slightly: "Muyuhua."

Saki: "Ah! Come in, come in!"

Goujuanji paused, then suppressed the inexplicable guilt in his heart and followed Saki in.

…The layout is still the same, but perhaps because it’s night, it feels a little more unfamiliar.

Goujuanji changed his shoes and said silently in his heart: Sorry for disturbing you.

Saki took his hand and unconsciously rubbed his palm.

Well, my palms are hot too.

Inujuan felt a slight itch, curled his fingers and pulled Saki tighter.

Saki took him to sit on the sofa.

"By the way, have you washed up? Would you like a drink?"

Gojuanji: [I've brushed my teeth, but haven't taken a shower yet.]

Saki looked at his hair and said, "Oh! No wonder your hairstyle hasn't changed."

Goujuanji pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Saki: "Anyway...! I feel relieved now that you're here."

She blinked, and then moved closer to Gou Juanji in a somewhat coquettish manner.

"Um...can I have a hug?"
