I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

　But obviously real life is not like a TV drama. Her parents are as gentle as ever, and she and Chitose are not separated because of this.

　Although the elopement failed, it was also a great victory!

　[One elopement won me a lifetime of happiness! It was a huge win!]

　From Monday to the weekend, Aine's greatest pleasure was to see the wounds on Chitose's face, hands and body getting smaller.

　As his injuries recovered, the smile on Qiansui's face became brighter and brighter.

　As long as Chitose is happy, Aine will be happy too. At the same time, if Chitose becomes healthier and gets better treatment, Aine will also be in a good mood.

　In other words, Chihaya Aine gained triple the joy!

　"Then I dreamed of an old woman selling flowers. She told me with empty hands that one must feel happy before seeing roses."

　While changing shoes at the shoe cabinet on the first floor of the teaching building, Aine, who came to school with Chitose, was talking nonstop about the unfinished dream she had last night.

　"and after?"

　The movement of opening the cabinet paused, Chitose didn't look at Aine but stared into the cabinet.

　However, Aine didn’t notice anything strange.

　She tilted her head and looked at the ceiling, trying to think about what would happen next in the dream.

　"Later...Later..."

　In a corner where Aine wasn't paying attention, Chitose silently put away a letter that inexplicably appeared in the cabinet.

　She walked forward and held Chihaya Aine's hand. Since the wound on her hand no longer needed a Band-Aid, she could better experience the touch of Aine's hand.

　"If you can't remember, think about it later. Let's go to class, shall we? Guess what delicious food I made for you today?"

　"Hey! Okay! Let me guess, is there any dessert that I like?"

　"Of course it's too wide, seriously, you're playing dirty."

　After the girls went upstairs, Kyo Haizuka slowly strode towards the shoe cabinet.

　She looked at the shoe cabinet without saying anything, and finally her eyes stopped at the stairs.

　"Huh... it's coming."

　……

　"Huh—I really can't get enough of days like this!"

　Aine sat alone in her and Chitose's secret lunch base, the sun's gaze quietly falling through the gaps between the tender leaves, adding a hurried silver glow to the girl's pink hair.

　"Why did Sui Sui take so long? Teacher Huizuka is so rude that he actually asked Sui Sui to go to the office to correct papers during lunch break. Can't he go during the break?"

　Chihaya Aine held the bento in her arms, and she could already smell the aroma of hot spring eggs, fried pork cutlets, fried tempura, some kind of raw pickles, and other foods.

　Aine can enjoy the delicious food to her heart's content just by waiting for her Noshiro Chitose to come back.

　"Come back soon, my dear."

　The sun was still rising, and soon it would be even hotter. By then, there would be no leaves above our heads to provide shade.

　It would be too bad by then.

　Aine covered one eye with her hand, and she felt dizzy as she looked at the sun with one eye.

　It was very strange, she now had an indescribable feeling.

　"I have a feeling something untoward is happening... Could it be that someone is trying to take advantage of my absence to overthrow my position as student council president?!"

　……

　Chitose covered one eye with an eyepatch and felt dizzy as she stared at the rooftop door with her single eye.

　She was waiting for the mysterious person who wrote to her that early morning.

　Tata's footsteps were heard, and someone was walking upstairs. The rooftop was very spacious, but it seemed a little crowded due to the influx of noise.

　"Hey, you're so brave to come here alone."

　Kyo Haizuka, whose school uniform skirt was cut short, blinked and kicked open the rooftop door to face Chitose Noshiro.

　"What are you afraid of? What do you want to talk to me about?"

　Chitose Noshiro glanced at the surveillance camera inconspicuously.

　The surveillance camera happened to capture her, but due to the blind spot, it could not capture the ash mound at the entrance to the rooftop.

　"What else could it be? Didn't I tell you to stay away from Chihaya Aine? You're such a shameless fellow."

　The girl had a pleasant voice and beautiful looks, so her words were surprisingly not intimidating.

　【But it would be a big mistake to underestimate her because of this! 】

　With their fingers hooked on the door handle, Kyo Haizuka and Chitose Noshiro looked at each other and blinked.

　As he exerted force with his hands, the rooftop door closed again.

　Snapped--

　……

　Snapped--

　Aine closed the classroom door and walked back to her seat with a slightly distressed look on her face.

　"Why is my Noshiro Chitose missing? If Chitose is missing, who can take her place and have lunch with me for a thousand years?"

　In the end, Aine ate a little bit by herself because it was too late as class was about to start.

　Those meals that looked delicious and satisfying to the taste buds became a little tasteless without Qiansui's company.

　[It's so boring. The days without her have become unbearable.]

　The bell rang, and Haizuka-san beside me walked into the classroom on time.

　"Aine, do you have any wet wipes?"

　"Ah, here you go. Why is your hand bleeding?"

　"Haha, I accidentally touched some broken glass. I just went to the infirmary to get it treated but I'm still bleeding."

　"Be more careful next time."

　Aine didn't dare look at Huizuka's hands. She didn't like seeing blood, especially after meeting the little girl who was always covered in blood.

　"By the way, have you seen Sui? He can replace Chitose."

　Aine asked Kyo nonchalantly, as neither the teacher nor Chitose were in the classroom at the moment.

　"No, maybe she's busy somewhere. I saw her in the office at noon."

　Haizuka balled up the bloody tissue and stuffed it into the desk, and Aine's attention remained on it.

　She always felt that the blood color of the paper was similar to that of Qiansui's bandage.

　The door was pushed open, it was not Chitose, the teacher began to lecture, no one noticed Chitose's disappearance.

　Except Chihaya Aine.

　While taking notes, she kept biting the pen cap with her canine teeth. The uneasiness and anxiety in her heart made it impossible for them to concentrate on listening.

　When the class was halfway through and Aine finally couldn't help but want to ask for leave to go look for Chitose, the front door of the classroom was pushed open from the outside.

　【age!】

　"what!"

　Aine covered her mouth in disbelief. She and the rest of the class witnessed Chitose's miserable state.

　The school uniform was stained with blood, and the bandage on the girl's head was seeping with blood.

　She knocked on the door with her wounded hand and said in a trembling voice, "Report... I'm here for class."

　-

　There are two more pictures at the end, love, Ch303. The plan to eliminate Chitose was made by Aine.

　"What's going on? Tell me now!"

　Chihaya Aine was not familiar with the way to the infirmary, but since she met Chitose Noshiro, she knew it very well.

　"I…"

　Qiansui pointed to his head and said incoherently: "Sorry, I still feel dizzy. Can I take a break?"

　"Ah! Sorry! Lie down quickly..."

　"Ms. Chihaya, please calm down. Miss Noshiro is almost fainting from your torture."

　The school doctor reluctantly pulled Chihaya Aine away. Before she had finished examining Noshiro Chitose, the girl who had brought the patient here started crying and asking questions.

　"I know you're anxious, but there are some things you can't rush. For example—please move the patient away from your chest of steel... first. If you want to kill her, you won't be able to suffocate her like this."

　"what!"

　Chihaya Aine was forced to retreat a few meters and continued to look worriedly in the direction of Noshiro Chitose.

　Afraid that Chihaya Aine behind him might worry, and also disliked the creepy feeling of having his back stared at, the doctor drew the curtain and began to examine Chitose carefully.

　The girl waited for ten minutes, feeling anxious.

　"Alright, Miss Noshiro is fine. She might have a mild concussion. Let's get her to the doctor right away."

　"Yeah! Year-old, let's go!"

　"Oh…"

　Holding Chitose in her arms, Aine felt that she was more anxious than the ant on the hot pan, as she was.

　Half of her school uniform was stained red and black by the blood on Chitose's body, which reminded her of some fragments of her memory.

　[What is that blood-stained thing?]

　……

　"Ah... Is this true? That bloody thing is Haizuka's fist."

　[Today, my girl was taken to the hospital with injuries all over her body. This is what happened.]

　"Remember to pay the hospital bill."

　"Okay! Thank you, doctor."

　Chihaya Aine bowed awkwardly, and when she carefully poked her head into the ward she found Chitose looking at her.

　"Alas," Chitose sighed, "I thought there wouldn't be any new wounds. Sorry to bother you again, Ai."

　"What nonsense are you talking about? Just get some rest... Also, tell me who is bullying you!"

　Aine felt uncomfortable all over when she thought about this.

　The heat in her body urged her to rush back to school immediately to find out the culprits who bullied Qiansui.

　"You can't tell me, Ai. If you tell me, the impact will definitely be greater than if you don't tell me." Chitose looked numb, as if she was used to being beaten, which made Aine feel uneasy.

　"Ah? Ha! How could something like this possibly have a greater impact if I told it?"

　Sometimes it was hard for Aine to understand why Noshiro Chitose had been hiding who had bullied her.

　「Can’t you just tell me straight?! Is there anything I can’t do?! I’m your girlfriend, why are you hiding this from me?!」

　The little universe in Aine's heart was burning.

　No matter how warm the spring sunshine was, she couldn't be happy at all.

　At this moment, Aine was the angriest person in the world.

　"Besides, I've already declared Chitose mine! And yet there are still bad guys who dare to bully her... Is this still the school I'm familiar with? There haven't been many cases of bullying before!"

　Even if there is, it is at most cold violence... This kind of violence that escalates to the level of fistfights is really unheard of!

　"Tell me quickly, I'll go now..."

　"Calm down, Chihaya...Aine."

　"..." All the anger was extinguished when Chitose Noshiro called out her full name in a cold and trembling voice.

　"Listen to me, don't get so excited. I'm scared."

　Qiansui sat on the hospital bed with her knees hugged, her fragile temperament not concealed at all.
