He asked with some hope: "Since you are her clone --- then you know where the main body is, right? "
Hmm---" Facing Katsu's outspoken question without the slightest hint of beating around the bush, Kurumi couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes, and then said hesitantly: "I know, but are you sure you want me to tell you here?" Although I don't care..."
As he spoke, Kurumi signaled Katsu to take a look at the people around him with his eyes, and then Katsu did so, and he saw that many people around him looked regretful. Looking at them, he seemed to be regretting...the two young and good-looking people have a mental illness.
Katsu understood the eyes of the passers-by around him, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and then he pulled Kurumi's wrist and ran to an empty alley.
"Ah, what did Katsu-kun want to do by bringing me, a weak girl, to this kind of place?" Kurumi's ridiculed tone finally brought a little familiarity with Katsu.
"..." Sure enough, even Kurumi in different time periods, her personality has not changed.
Let go of the hand holding her wrist, Katsu scratched his hair, and said with some lack of confidence: "Well, can you take me to meet her? Or tell me the address, and I will find her myself..."
"Well..." Katsu's words seemed to make the Kurumi a little distressed, she stretched out her index finger and nodded her chin: "But if I do this, I will probably be disposed of by [her]---" "... like
"This Ah, sorry." Katsu was a little disappointed.
Seeing Katsu like this, Kurumi seemed to find it very interesting and laughed, but soon, the laughter stopped abruptly: "Ah, anyway, I'm just a clone for a certain period of time, even if I don't get dealt with, My time is almost running out, so why don't I tell you --- after all, people who love each other can't see each other, just thinking about it is very painful, let me be considered a 'selfish' person, I don't want [me] Endure that kind of suffering." As she said that, she turned around and walked out of the alley.
Looking at the back of Kurumi leaving, Katsu couldn't help being a little dazed but in the end, he followed.
...
The other side.
"Where did Brother Katsu go? Seriously, he just said 'something' and he disappeared---"
"Haha... probably something really urgent." Shidou, who knew Katsu quite well, helped Katsu to cover.
"Hmm... I always feel like you guys are hiding something from us." Kotori folded her arms and stared at Shidou suspiciously.
"Haha...ha, you're thinking too much," Shidou said with a smile while scratching his hair.
Seeing Shidou like this, Kotori was even more convinced that these two guys had something to hide from everyone...
However, at this moment, Tohka, who was walking a little far away with Yoshino and Mana, suddenly turned back to face this side waved, and shouted: "Shidou, Kotori, come here quickly, there is a performance over there!"
After being interrupted by Tohka, Kotori couldn't help but pause, but immediately rolled her eyes, and then said: "Well, forget it, he still has to come back at night anyway." Saying that she walked towards Tohka and the others.
...
"This is..."
Katsu looked at the dilapidated building in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
"That's right, [I] is on it." The voice of Kurumi came from behind.
Hearing this, Katsu couldn't help taking a deep breath, then turned his head to look at the cloned Kurumi, wanting to thank her, but when he turned his head, what he saw was that she had already merged into the shadow under her feet.
Having seen Katsu with Kurumi's similar operation, he couldn't help shaking his head.
"Do you want me to go find her alone..."
...
Da da da da...
In the empty building, the crisp sound of Martin's boots stepping on the ground resounded from the first floor to the top floor.
At this moment, Katsu was already standing in front of the gate leading to the rooftop. As long as he opened the door, he would probably be able to see that figure, with extremely firm eyes, he stretched out his hand, ready to push the door open for him. It is said that it can only serve as a door that blocks the line of sight.
"Who!?" The moment his hand touched, Katsu heard a familiar sound of vigilance.
"..." Katsu is now sure that behind the door, Kurumi is there, but suddenly has a bad taste that wanted to tease her.
He didn't answer Kurumi immediately, but turned himself invisible and pushed the door hard, knocking down the door that blocked the two sides. ---After all, this building has been abandoned for a long time, and the door is naturally decayed.
"Ah la..." When seeing there is no one but the door pushes itself, naturally she become vigilant observing her surrounding but when he release his invisibility and hug her from behind, seeing the true face of this uninvited guest, Kurumi was slightly stunned for a moment her face blush red like an apple, but soon, she came back to her senses, faced the opposite side and looked at herself quietly, silent Even Kurumi was a little speechless for the young man who was holding her.
Time passed by like this, and the two sides hold each other quietly all the time, no one spoke, as if they were checking each other's changes over the past month.
Finally, Kurumi moved, and she lowered her eyes slightly, turned around slowly, and looked at the bustling city below.
"How are you doing these days?" As soon as the words came out, Katsu regretted it, and then scolded those soap operas in his heart. It's because they watch too many soap operas, otherwise, how could such words come out of his own mouth!?
However, Kurumi couldn't hear Katsu's inner voice, but even if she heard his problem, she still didn't make a sound, but walked forward slowly, until she reached the edge of the roof.
"Wait a minute, Kurumi...it's very cold here---" Katsu couldn't help shouting to Kurumi.
It seems that Katsu's words worked, or maybe it was some other reason, when he got here, Kurumi suddenly turned around and faced him. Then she smiled: "Katsu-kun is still so gentle..."
However, as soon as the words fell, Kurumi lay down straight back under his unbelievable gaze, yes, he just lay down on the edge of the roof.
"Kurumi!!!" Katsu understood her intention after being confused for a moment --- she wanted to escape.
Katsu, who had come to his senses, rushed up without saying a word, and then under the astonished gaze of Kurumi, who was falling downward at an extremely fast speed, he jumped down immediately.
The moment Kurumi landed, she jumped It fell into the red and black shadow below without any injuries.
One second---It was enough for Kurumi to close the shadow, but she slowly fell into it and saw the expression of Katsu who was falling at a high speed above her. Although the other party did not speak, Kurumi could read Katsu for some reason.
At this moment, she knew that she had two choices.
One: Turn off the shadows and escape by yourself, and Katsu will not die knowing some of his ability but still sustain some injury if falls from such height.
Two: Open the shadows and welcome the embrace of Katsu ---
Kurumi didn't move, she just slowly sank into the shadows without moving, which means that she has made a choice --- -
...
When he touched the shadow, there was no sound. He only felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire, without any pain caused by falling from a tall building.
Facing Kurumi's expression of neither joy nor sorrow, Katsu acted as if he hadn't seen her, and put his arms around her waist.
Kurumi didn't struggle, just let him hug her, and then the two sank into the depths of the shadow together----
