For Anraooka Hanabi, her life seems to have changed with the appearance of Sayu.

Besides, now she has one more place to go.

Whenever she saw her older brother being affectionate with that old woman, Hanabi would choose to go to her house with Sayu to play, and at the same time, she naturally became familiar with Fang Zheng.

Of course, for Anlegang Hanabi, Fang Zheng is a completely different type from the older brother she likes. Although he is much more handsome than the older brother, he is not as gentle and kind to girls as the older brother, and he is basically not as euphemistic as the Japanese. What he says is to the point, and he doesn't consider the other person's feelings. Sometimes he even uses sarcastic words to mock others, so that even Anlegang Hanabi, who thinks she has a weird mind, sometimes shakes her head and sighs involuntarily after listening to his words.

But this also has an advantage. That is, when she is with Sayu and Fang Zheng, she doesn't have to think about the things between her older brother and that annoying woman at all. Although being played around by Sayu and Fang Zheng makes her mentally exhausted, because of this, she doesn't have time to think about those trivial things. After returning home, she will fall asleep quickly because of exhaustion, so she doesn't have to think about how far the relationship between her older brother and that old woman has progressed.

But when the older brother stood in front of her, Anlegang Hanabi had to consider this problem.

"Hey? Big brother is looking for me?"

"Um……"

Zhong Jing in front of him still looked shy. He stretched out his hand to scratch his cheek embarrassedly and looked towards Anlegang Fireworks.

"Xiaohua, I actually have something very important to tell you. Can you go somewhere with me after school?"

"……OK."

Although she felt a little uneasy, Anraoka Hanabi nodded.

After that, Hanabi Anloka was listless the whole day. Her elder brother never showed that kind of expression when talking to her. If it was before, maybe Hanabi Anloka would have imagined that her elder brother wanted to find a place to confess his feelings to her, and then the two of them would become a loving couple. But Hanabi Anloka knew that this was impossible, because she had seen her elder brother and the old woman sticking together very closely these days.

Could it be that... Big Brother wants to tell me about his marriage to that old woman...

Thinking of this, Anlegang Hanabi felt cold all over, as if she was falling into an ice cave.

"…What's wrong with Anraoka-san?"

Seeing Hanabi Yasuoka sitting next to her in a daze, Sayu curiously approached the red-haired girl next to her and asked in a low voice. The red-haired girl was Hanabi Yasuoka's good friend Sanae Ebi. She and Hanabi Yasuoka had been good friends since their first year of high school, but after their second year of high school, the two were assigned to different classes. However, even so, the two still had lunch together at noon.

Of course, later Sayu also came over, and it became a group of three, which originally made Ebisu Sanae quite unhappy. After all, it felt like her good friend was taken away, so her attitude towards Sayu was not very good at first. However, Sayu didn't care about these little things at all. Until now...Ebisu Sanae could only accept her even if she didn't like her very much.

"I don't know either."

Ehime Sanae also shook her head, and Sayu came in front of Anraooka Hanabi and stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Anraoka-san? What are you daydreaming about? What happened?"

"Ah, it's nothing serious..."

Only then did Anlegang Hanabi come to her senses and shook her head.

"It's just that I have something to do..."

"Hmm? Do you need our help?"

As she spoke, Sayu clenched her fists and posed in front of Anraooka Hanabi, who hurriedly shook her head - she had not forgotten how scary the things like the stun gun and pepper spray in Sayu's schoolbag were.

What's even scarier is that Sayu won't hesitate to use them.

"No, thanks. It's just a little personal matter. Ah, sorry, I can't go home with you today."

"Is that so? If you have any questions, just give me a call. It doesn't matter if it's a personal matter. We are friends after all. I will help you."

"Me, me too, Xiaohua!"

Hearing this, Ehime Sanae next to her also spoke hurriedly.

"No matter when you call me, I will come to help you!"

"Thank you..."

Looking at her good friends in front of her, Anlegang Hanabi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and spoke to the two of them.

"I'll call you if I need anything."

Although she said so, after school, looking at Mr. Zhong Jing walking beside her, Anlegang Hanabi couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Teacher Zhong Jing, where are we going?"

"Well... to a very special place."

Hearing Anlegang Hanabi's anxious question, Zhong Jing smiled a little embarrassedly.

"There are some things I want you to know, Xiaohua..."

To Anloka Hanabi's surprise, the place where Mr. Zhong Jing took her was a hotel that looked very luxurious. According to Mr. Zhong Jing, they were going to attend a banquet next.

"But, but I was only wearing my school uniform..."

"Don't worry, there are changing rooms and showers over there. You can change your clothes after taking a shower and then go to the party."

“Haha…”

Is this necessary?

To be honest, Anloka Hanabi was also quite confused at the moment, but because the one who brought her here was her older brother whom she always trusted, she was not worried that he would have any bad intentions towards her - or rather, Anloka Hanabi actually hoped that he would have such feelings towards her.

But unfortunately this is impossible.

After taking a shower, Anraoka Hanabi changed into a sleeveless, off-shoulder evening gown, and was led by the staff to a private room on the top floor, where Mr. Zhong Jing, who was also wearing a gown, was waiting for her.

What is going on?

Anlegang Hanabi looked around in confusion. She originally thought that Teacher Zhong Jing called her out to announce his marriage to the old woman, and she was even mentally prepared. But now it seems like... a date?

"Sit down, Xiaohua."

"Ah, um..."

Hearing her elder brother's voice, Anraoka Hanabi nodded and sat opposite Teacher Zhong Jing. Then she saw Teacher Zhong Jing take out a mask from his pocket and put it on his face.

"Brother? You are…"

"This is the rule of the banquet."

"Eh? Then I don't need to wear a mask?"

"No, you just sit here."

As Zhong Jing finished speaking, the whole room suddenly became dark, which scared Anlegang Hanabi. She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the next moment, she felt the ground shaking slightly, and then gradually rising. At the same time, Zhong Jing also held her hand - feeling this familiar temperature, Anlegang Hanabi's mood became calmer, and then she felt that she seemed to rise to another space, and then... a dazzling light suddenly flashed and hit her body.

“Woo——!”

Anlegang Hanabi subconsciously raised her hands to cover her face, then she slowly opened her eyes and looked around.

Where is this place?

Anloka Hanabi was surprised to find that she was not in a banquet hall. On the contrary, it seemed to be a place like a gladiatorial arena. Standing around her were countless men and women who, like Teacher Zhong Jing, were wearing masks and gorgeous clothes. They stared at her without any kindness in their eyes, only cruelty like wild beasts.

"Big, big brother, what on earth is this..."

Anloka Hanabi looked at Mr. Zhong Jing anxiously, only to find that he was standing up and walking to the other side. On the other side, under the spotlight, Anloka Hanabi could see a woman who was also wearing a mask walking towards them.

It's that old woman!

Although the other person was wearing a mask, from her figure and hair color, Anraoka Hanabi instantly recognized that this woman was the music teacher Akane Minagawa who was in love with her childhood sweetheart.

What's going on?

“Everyone!!”

However, just when Anlegang Hanabi didn't know what to do, suddenly, a voice that sounded like a host rang out.

"Today's dinner party is a little special! Because, this is not only a feast for us to enjoy, but also the scene where Mr. KN proposes to Ms. MA!"

“Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Hearing this, the people around cheered excitedly, while Anlegang Hanabi stood there blankly with a pale face. Although she had been prepared, she still felt extremely painful and sad when she heard the news. But at this time, the host's voice still reached Anlegang Hanabi's ears.

"And this girl is the proposal gift prepared by Mr. KN!"

"Why?"

What does this mean? What do you want me to do?

Just when Anraooka Hanabi was confused and extremely chaotic, Teacher Zhong Jing walked up to Teacher Minagawa and held her hand.

"This is my love for you. That child will be a witness to our love."

"you……"

"Look."

As he spoke, Zhong Jing turned his head and looked at Anlegang Hanabi affectionately. However, at this moment, Anlegang Hanabi got goose bumps all over her body. She could feel that there was some kind of terrifying threat in the other person's eyes when he looked at her.

"I have raised her since she was little. Her preferences, her physique, and everything about her were carefully cultivated by me. I have cultivated her for so many years and finally made her into a perfect ingredient - and now, I am giving her to you, my beloved."

Having said that, Mr. Zhong Jing knelt on one knee and looked towards Jiechuan.

"will you marry me?"

"...I do."

After hearing Minagawa Akane's answer, the audience burst into warm applause, which sounded like they were sincerely blessing the newlyweds, while Anraooka Hanabi stood there blankly, her mind in a mess. This was not only because she had witnessed her favorite big brother proposing to that old woman, but also because of what the other party said.

"Big brother, what are you talking about? Why am I a gift?"

"Don't talk, Xiaohua."

At this moment, Mr. Zhong Jing turned around again, his voice was still so gentle and peaceful - but at this moment, there was an extra knife in his hand.

"You just need to stand there obediently. You are the witness of Xiao Qian and I's love, and you will also be the perfect proof of our marriage."

"…You, what are you talking about, big brother?"

At this moment, Anlegang Hanabi was extremely frightened and uneasy. She subconsciously stepped back, and then her feet suddenly slipped, as if she stepped on something, and then Anlegang Hanabi sat down on the ground. She subconsciously looked at her feet, and then she screamed in fear - she saw a bloody severed hand under her feet!

“No, don’t—!!”

The girl's scream was drowned out by cheers and applause, and at the same time, the entire venue appropriately began to play the wedding march. During the performance of this song, teachers Zhong Jing and Minagawa walked shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, holding shining knives together towards the Yasuoka Fireworks.

It's like a newlywed couple planning to cut the cake together at their wedding.

However, their target is not cake, but human beings.

“No, no, don’t…”

Seeing the two men approaching her with knives in their hands, Anlegang Hanabi was trembling all over. Her instinct prompted her to run away, but she couldn't even stand up. She could only watch the two men come to her and raise the knives in their hands...

The next moment, the lights in the entire venue suddenly went out.
