Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Worry. ...
It was almost three in the morning when the two men were finally about to come down from the mountain.
They could already see the suburban highway not far away. Fortunately, it was in the suburbs, and the two teenagers could see a lot of things clearly with the moonlight. Moreover, there was a jade dog beside each of them to help them show the way.
Since he separated from Geto Suguru, it seemed so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard, which made Fushiguro Megumi feel a little uncomfortable. He glanced at the girl beside him several times along the way and wanted to say something several times, but in the end he remained silent.
Why is she so quiet...
Fushiguro Megumi was racking her brain. Could it be because of Geto Suguru's recent actions and words? Even without dwelling on it, there were too many suspicious points. Was that weird Liu Hai crazy? He'd held Eri captive for half a month, and now he'd let her go? Was he crazy?
"He is really crazy." Eri Kimoto suddenly spoke.
Fushiguro Megumi: "Hmm... hm?"
Qi Ben Eri looked up at him,
The boy's profile in the moonlight was clean and sharp, with a youthful spirit unique to his age. He seemed a little confused, perhaps because he suddenly heard his own question. He also tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to hear his words more clearly.
From this perspective, Megumi Fushiguro's eyelashes are really too long. Although I noticed it before, maybe it's a matter of angle. Eri Kimoto feels that the shadows cast by his long eyelashes under his eyes are also quite nice... but that's not the point.
Qi Ben Eri raised her right hand and shook her wrist in his sight. "Is he sick? He let me go, why didn't he help me untie this? Has he forgotten because he's old?"
The black braided rope shone with the same plain luster in the moonlight, but it did not look tacky when wrapped around Eri Kimoto's wrist.
"You think it's tacky too, don't you, Fushiguro-kun?" Eri Nori pouted. "Damn it! I can't change it up any more. Otherwise, I could pretend it's a BV lambskin braided bracelet."
Megumi Fushiguro: "...That's not the point at all."
Frowning and staring at the black rope, Fushiguro Megumi said in a low voice: "That man must have other purposes."
"nonsense."
Eri Nori rolled her eyes and waved her hand perfunctorily. "You can tell with your toes that he's not such a kind person. Let me tell you, the Bankei Cult is really short-sighted. Can you imagine a world without McDonald's, Fushiguro-san?"
“....?”
It is difficult to answer this question seriously.
Fushiguro Megumi thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, KFC is also fine."
Eri Kimoto suddenly became quiet and looked at him for a long, long time.
Megumi Fushiguro stared at her, puzzled by her strange expression.
“....”
"?"
Turning her head and looking straight ahead, Eri Qimoto stopped talking, and swiftly pushed him away and got on the road, but her back looked vaguely sad.
"...Hello."
"Wait for me."
"Hello,"
"When did Kenx provoke you?"
"...Honestly, I have to admit that their egg tarts are delicious."
"Eri Kimoto——"
"Don't run, asshole!"
........
........
The two men and the two dogs exercised a little on the road, and they were all a little tired after jogging along the road for half an hour.
Qi Ben Eri slowed down her pace, and after stopping, she patted Xiao Bai's head as he panted with his tongue hanging out: "Xiao Bai, you should like McDonald's and KFC -"
"I'll eat." Fushiguro Megumi stood beside her and silently took out his cell phone. He didn't want to run anymore.
After running for half an hour, we were still in the mountains. There was no signal at all, and we couldn't get a car. Besides, there were probably no cars left at this time. Fushiguro Megumi forgot to consider this part of the problem when she came, and now she felt a little complicated.
I was both annoyed at myself for not having arranged everything, and confused by the fact that I had left without planning for the consequences.
It's hard to describe the strange feeling I felt when I looked at Eri Kimoto who was watching the road next to me.
...It can't be the feeling of seeing the naughty kids finally come back into your sight and being able to keep an eye on them under your nose. Then you would be very responsible.
Not realizing she had been labeled a naughty child, Eri Kimoto blinked her big eyes at him and asked, "How long will it take?"
Shaking off the strange thoughts in her mind, Fushiguro Megumi opened the map and confirmed that they were not going in the wrong direction before she carefully replied, "There's a gas station a little further ahead. Let's go there to rest for a while."
Another fifteen minutes passed before a self-service gas station and a 24-hour convenience store finally appeared in their sight. When they glanced over, they saw that the clerk in the convenience store was dozing off.
"Buy me some ice cream, Fushiguro-san."
Suddenly grabbing the edge of the boy's clothes, the penniless Eri Kimoto said humbly (without any words) outside the store: "Vanilla flavor, buy two, I can do that."
After pulling and finding that he couldn't pull his arm back, Megumi Fushiguro dragged her in with an expressionless face.
After taking out his wallet and buying three ice creams, he pointed to the seating area in the corner and asked the yawning waiter, "Can we sit over there for a while?"
"Of course." The clerk, who had become more sober, glanced at the two of them stealthily. A man and a woman appearing alone on the mountainside at this hour... They both looked so young. They must have run away from home... It would be too strange for them to walk to such a place!
"If you need help—"
Fushiguro Megumi nodded to him and said, "Excuse me, is it convenient to call a taxi here?"
"It's not easy to get a taxi at this time, but maybe you can wait for a car going your way. Maybe a car that needs gas can take you downtown."
It is still some distance to the city center. Instead of walking for another hour, it is better to rest here first. Fushiguro Megumi looked at the time and thought that it would be difficult to wait for a car going the same way at this time.
After politely thanking the clerk, the boy turned back to look for Eri Kimoto.
After taking the ice cream from the waiter, she skipped off to the rest area, like a carefree child who didn't worry about anything.
After scooping a spoonful of dark chocolate ice cream into his mouth, Megumi Fushiguro relaxed a lot at this moment...and Eri Kimoto, who was humming a little tune and playing with her phone beside him, was even more relaxed, which made it impossible for him not to focus most of his attention on her.
After not seeing her for so many days, she looks really strong... No, should I say she looks better? Is it because she has someone to play with in the Panxing Sect?
Why did you cut your hair suddenly?
Megumi Fushiguro stuffed another mouthful of ice cream into her mouth. The person next to her sighed and lay down on the table in a lazy posture that she had been told many times but still didn't change.
His sight slowly and quietly fell on her black hair.
In fact, Eri Kimoto has very good hair quality. Her long black hair is a bit like thick seaweed. Sometimes you can see circles of light reflected in the sun. Why did she cut her hair short suddenly? However, this short hair with a little layering and almost reaching her shoulders is quite suitable for her.
And the same goes for these nails... Apart from these, there seems to be no other changes. Fushiguro Megumi breathed a sigh of relief again, thinking that this guy is actually still very powerful, he can do well anywhere... at least he can survive.
At this time, Eri Kimoto had already started eating her second ice cream. She flipped through her Line, replied to messages from a few classmates, and then started scrolling through her social software, as if she was catching up on some jokes.
Megumi Fushiguro smiled and was about to tell her that there was nothing worth memorizing recently, but she accidentally saw her new message reminder.
【Have you returned, Eri? 】
[It seems there are not many cars at this time.]
The sudden news made both of them suddenly quiet.
Eri Kimoto sat up straight silently, stared at the text message, and slowly turned her head to look at the boy next to her who was also frowning.
"....Do you think he is sick?" Qi Ben Eri waited for the boy's answer with a complicated expression.
Fushiguro Megumi spoke frankly: "........I think so a little bit."
"Since they knew there were no cars at this time, why didn't they just let his followers drive?" Qi Ben Eri's mouth twitched, "Why not just take us back to Tokyo?"
What on earth is Geto Xiayou thinking? He acts like a mother who is concerned about whether her child has reached home safely. Wasn't he a kidnapper half a month ago, bastard?
Fushiguro Megumi hesitated to speak, opened her mouth, scooped another scoop of ice cream, and closed it again: "..."
She rolled her eyes at her phone, then leaned over the table and yawned. She didn't seem that interested in replying to Geto Suguru's message. After eating two ice creams, she was now a little sleepy.
I looked at the time and it was only half past three. The sky outside was still completely dark, with no sign of light.
Maybe she will have to stay up all night tonight. After completely relaxing, Megumi Fushiguro also felt a little tired, but there were still some things that had to be dealt with.
...After taking a deep breath, Megumi Fushiguro turned on her phone again and started replying to messages, especially those from her seniors after turning off the airplane mode and silent mode.
Panda-senpai: Megumi! How dare you! You're not really going to look for Eri, are you?! Why didn't you answer our calls?!
[Otsutsuki-senpai: Why don’t you take me with you?]
[Gojumaki-senpai: It's too dangerous! ! ]
[Gojuan-senpai: Are you okay? ? ]
[Otsutsuki-senpai: Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you?]
[Senior Panda: Youtai is so angry! ]
[Panda-senpai: Rika too!!]
[Otsutsuki-senpai: Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? 】
[Panda-senpai: ...Sorry about Maki.]
[Otsutsuki-senpai: Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? Why don’t you take me with you? 】
[Panda Senior: Danger! ! ! !]
[Maki-sister: Hey, you're really brave.]
[Otsutsukoshi-senpai: :)]
The ding-dong sound of the message notifications was really a bit exaggerated... Fushiguro Megumi swallowed her saliva, pretending to be calm and preparing to reply to the messages one by one. At this time, Eri Kimoto's furry head also came over.
After reading the whole bunch of news, she actually laughed out loud.
She also didn't notice the boy's helpless expression or his gesture of giving her more space to read the message more clearly.
"Speaking of which, how did you manage to sneak out without Otsutsuki Yuuta?"
Eri Nori tilted her head and winked at him. Her eyes sparkled, and the slyness and innocence that flashed in them became vivid with her smile.
"How did you get out? I really want to know."
"..."....Can I talk about this topic that I slipped out while my senior was in the toilet? Wouldn't it be a bit indecent? Fushiguro Megumi was silent, thinking that she had tried really hard to do what she said and never allow her senior to follow her!
Preparing to avoid the topic, Fushiguro Megumi sighed inwardly and simply reminded him, "Your sister was very worried about you and almost tore down the technical high school."
"So is your brother-in-law Otsutsuki-senpai."
"The other seniors are also worried about you."
Qi Ben Eri changed her posture again. She supported her chin with one hand and stared at him quietly.
"And you?"
"Are you worried about me too?"
“…”
What a strange question! Why did the tone suddenly change to such a serious one?
Megumi Fushiguro glanced at her and wondered if there was any other answer to this question. Otherwise, why would she have gone to so much trouble to sneak out and appear here?
"Of course it is—"
"Hey, hey, students! There's a car coming!!"
The convenience store clerk was the first to notice the car parked at the gas station, so he waved to them anxiously, "Should we go ask the driver if he can give you a ride into the city?"
Megumi Fushiguro immediately stood up, thanked him, and looked out the window. The man who got out of the driver's seat of the truck was already standing in front of the gas pump, ready to refuel.
"Let's go."
Eri Kimoto pursed her lips. She was a little dissatisfied because she didn't hear the complete answer, but the subsequent answer, which she could guess, made her feel good. So she stood up and followed the boy obediently, watching him communicate with the driver.
The kind driver quickly agreed to Fushiguro Megumi's request, saying that he could not only take them to the city, but also take them to the police station.
...Thank you so much, but the police department doesn't need it.
Megumi Fushiguro smiled politely, made up an excuse to reassure the driver, and then pulled Eri Kimoto into the car.
The scenery outside the car window slowly disappeared behind us. It seemed that there were already signs of dawn, and it would take some time to get back to the city.
Looking at the time again, Fushiguro Megumi thought that she would take Eri Kimoto to have some breakfast first, and then they could take the bus back to Tokyo.
If she wanted, she could just take a taxi back to Tokyo and go back to rest early. This guy was always a good sleeper, and now he's been up all night—
At this moment, it landed gently on her shoulder like an autumn fruit, and Eri Kimoto rubbed her head as if looking for a more comfortable position.
After a pause, Megumi Fushiguro subconsciously slowed down her breathing and turned her head slightly to look at her.
I don't know when he fell asleep, his breathing was steady and long... He looked a little more obedient than his usual lively appearance.
The pillow on his shoulder might not be in the right position, and Eri Kimoto's head seemed to be sliding down little by little. Her hair brushed across her neck as she moved, making it itchy and distracting.
The young man stretched out his hand and gently lifted her head onto his shoulder.
Thinking about the way back and what she would face when she returned, Megumi Fushiguro closed her eyes and prepared to rest.
However, the two teenagers who closed their eyes did not notice that the phone in the hand of Eri Kimoto who had fallen asleep had lit up again, and the content of the new message on the screen was confusing.
【See you soon.】
【Eri. 】
