I didn't even have time to think about it.
The rain intensified, and the onlookers retreated further away, leaving the surroundings desolate except for the sound of the rain.
Slowly, some people began to clap and applaud, while others trembled as they called the police.
"Yeah—he disarmed him—he literally disarmed a guy with a purse! Holy crap, that's awesome!"
The sirens finally came closer.
Chihaya Aine saw another robber crawling towards the pistol. Without thinking, she lunged forward, picked up the gun, and, trembling, raised it, shouting:
"Step back! Step back!!!"
Mingze Feng walked over and held him down.
The police car stopped, and the robber was subdued by Ming Zefeng. Everything stabilized. The rain was still falling, streaming from her hair to her face, and then onto her clothes and ankles.
Chihaya Aine finally relaxed.
Panting, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but sigh; she was truly exhausted today, like a dog. She exhaled, her hands hanging naturally at her sides.
Then the gun went off.
A commotion erupted among the police and the crowd as they searched for any remaining accomplices, but they soon realized that the gunshots seemed to originate from...
From the field?
Forehead...
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the police, Mingze Feng, and many others.
Chihaya Aine's brows gradually furrowed.
The pain arrived late, a tearing agony that shot from her legs straight to her brain. She gasped, her face contorting in pain.
Tears welled up instantly.
"Ugh——!"
Blood spread downwards from the girl's leg, but a female doctor and nurse, summoned by someone, temporarily stopped the bleeding.
Naruzawa Kaede had never seen such a scene before. His mouth was slightly agape, and he looked completely bewildered. The police officers on this side were more experienced. They packed Naruzawa Kaede and Chihaya Aine together and put them into the car that had followed them. They even thoughtfully said that they would give statements together at the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, Mingze Feng thought for a moment and then called Shimizu Eliza.
......
When Eliza Shimizu pushed open the ward door with messy steps, Naruzawa Kaede was leaning against the bed, while Chihaya Aine, dressed in a hospital gown, sat in a chair, handing Naruzawa Kaede an apple with a disgruntled expression.
It's cut into pieces and has toothpicks stuck in them.
"...Which of you two is the patient?"
Even with the answer right in front of her, Eliza Shimizu still felt somewhat insecure looking at this scene.
Chihaya Aine gritted her teeth, "Who is it? Who could it be...?"
Narusawa Kaede waved his hand, pointing his thumb out at Chihaya Aine, "A superficial wound. Give her the pistol—uh...cough cough, cough..."
A whole piece of apple was unexpectedly stuffed into her mouth, and Chihaya Aine even used her fingers to push it deeper.
Naruzawa Kaede glared at Chihaya Aine, only to find that the girl's ear tips were slightly red, and her bright eyes were now looking at him with deep affection.
My affection level hasn't dropped at all... I even sent her down to peel an apple.
Never mind... I won't expose her shortcomings.
Mingze Feng turned over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"The bullet grazed my thigh and almost went through my forearm muscle. It caused bleeding but didn't damage any bones or nerves. The young man was lucky to survive."
Eliza Shimizu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that Mingze Feng is alright.
"After that..."
"The wound has ruptured and requires rest. You will need to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time."
So you're planning to stay here and take care of her?
Eliza Shimizu didn't say these words aloud.
She turned her scrutinizing gaze to Chihaya Aine, but felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar...
"Ah, you're the one from that day..."
The two girls, who were close in age, quickly reached a consensus on just how incompetent Mingze Feng was on a daily basis.
Mingze Feng rolled his eyes and offered no further explanation.
Chapter 13 Saint Aene's Inner World Never Rains
In fact, before Shimizu Eliza arrived, Narusawa Kaede had already been here for quite a while. Lying in bed, he had only one feeling.
That's what it means to be tired.
From fighting with Kikuto Hiroi in the morning, to fighting with everyone on stage, and then fighting with robbers at night.
This day...
Mingze Feng was somewhat nostalgic for the leisurely days of last month.
Originally, he hadn't planned to stay here with Chihaya Aine. After all, everyone has their own lives, in fact...
Although they haven't met up with Ryo yet, SickHack's mission in the UK is complete, and everyone, including Eliza Shimizu, is preparing to return to Tokyo.
After all, SickHack's concert also needs to be scheduled.
but...
Chihaya Aine is not an emotionally insensitive person.
Her life experiences from childhood have made her increasingly able to understand other people's emotions and adept at handling relationships with different people.
Just as Naruzawa Kaede was about to leave, Chihaya Aine had a bad feeling. When Naruzawa Kaede actually turned around, she didn't even bother to look back.
This is a signal that they're going to walk away.
Actually, Chihaya Aine knew that too...
No matter how much she thought about it, no matter how many things she imagined, between the two of them, between her and Mingze Feng, it was still just...
A mirage, like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water.
They had only met twice, and hadn't even exchanged more than a few words. Their understanding of each other was limited to just their names...
Strangers who meet by chance.
For a celebrity like her, a small fan is just a speck of dust among millions of ordinary people...
In a relationship like this, after a few weeks, you might not even remember the other person's name...
Chihaya Aine suddenly felt very cold. She wasn't sure if it was a side effect of being caught in the rain. She couldn't help but hug her arms.
It's so cold...
As Naruzawa Kaede approached the door, Chihaya Aine felt as if her chest was being clenched.
For no apparent reason... I just have this feeling that I don't want this person to leave.
This feeling...
Yes, it's anxiety.
Honestly, what good would it do to have their contact information? Chihaya Aine's contact list is full of 'past' friends she never messages. Maybe they were her classmates in middle school, or maybe they were friends she vowed to be 'friends for life' from elementary school.
Even with contact information, there are still feelings that can't be reconnected... Chihaya Aine knows that.
But what else could she do...?
Perhaps... after today, this story of a hero saving a damsel in distress will only exist in her notes and backups.
It's possible that Mingze Feng won't take it to heart and will continue living his life as usual... Oh, right, he also has a guitarist and a bassist who are all lovey-dovey, that's all.
Guys like that are never short of women. Perhaps even this "hero saves the damsel in distress" scenario is something he experiences every day.
"what......"
She had no idea how Mingze Feng would view this matter.
The more Chihaya Aine thought about it, the colder she felt inside.
But now...
Only one thing is certain.
That is... Chihaya Aine will definitely regret it to death.
Anno, bring out what you've always been best at. At least, try to fool them first.
"that..."
Chihaya Aine regretted her words the moment she uttered them. What should she say now, or what should she say at all?
"what happened?"
Mingze Feng stopped in her tracks because of what she said.
Seeing this, Chihaya Aine suddenly felt happy, and even the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Hmm... I think you might want to stay here and rest for a while."
Chihaya Aine thought she was laughing, and she did indeed laugh.
But her voice trembled slightly...
And on my face... warm, moist...
"Huh?" Chihaya Aine was stunned.
She instinctively raised her arm.
My wrist was firmly pressed against my face.
At that moment, Chihaya Aine realized what was flowing down her face.
she cried.
Hold.
Chihaya Aine's lips trembled. She quickly bit her lip, not daring to make a sound, and even looked away.
How could you cry at a time like this?!
Why the hell are you crying at this time, Aine?!
"I... I don't know... it's just that the tears are flowing out on their own..." Chihaya Aine's mind was blank, but she still subconsciously said those words.
Yes, yes.
The thought of things going back to the way they were before, the thought of being all alone in this ward again, was unbearable.
The thought of going back to those oppressive days of the past is unbearable.
Chihaya Aine had difficulty breathing.
But this is so despicable... This is like morally blackmailing someone... The person being helped is being greedy and wants more...
[Tears, go back... go back...]
I don't want Mr. Feng to stay, okay...
"what?"
Mingze Feng seemed to say "ah" at that moment, or perhaps he was sighing.
Chihaya Aine can't remember the rest.
Ming Zefeng walked over to her and sat on the bed. He nudged her to move aside, wanting to get on the bed himself.
That's how blunt we are.
Chihaya Aine was thus forced off the bed, and she took the opportunity to slip into the bathroom to wash her face. It was only then that she suddenly realized... Narusawa Kaede had deliberately sent her here...
He clearly saw her crying, but he didn't mention anything.
