Hearing that cold, hard inquiry, like a ghost summoning souls at such a moment, the four men, who were attempting to pry the door open, trying to squeeze in, instantly paused
They then simultaneously turned their heads to look.
What they saw was a tall man with wet hair, his eyebrows and eyes obscured by his hair strands.
Drops of rain from the man's hair tips continuously fell onto his convenience store uniform, already half soaked.
Although they couldn't clearly see his eyes hidden by the wet hair,
But that chilling gaze devoid of emotion made them shiver all over.
The few people shuddered silently, looking at each other without saying anything, when suddenly...
A blurry and elongated black shadow quickly enlarged in their eyes.
Before they could figure out what it was.
The sudden beating of their hearts made them feel as if they were being strangled by their necks.
Bang—
A force, as if intending to expel all of his internal organs, surged from his abdomen throughout his body.
The middle-aged man, who was hit, felt like half of his bones were shattered, felt his head was in a daze and his vision went dark.
Then, like a baseball hit by a bat, along with the other three, they were simultaneously smashed against the wall.
boom--
With his anger still burning fiercely inside, Sasaki looked at the men collapsed on the ground, hitting the wall tiles until they shattered, with a gaze as if looking at the dead, then he rushed into the toilet stall.
He had plenty of time to deal with these scum slowly, wether it was to break their bones, pull their muscles, crush their eggs, it would be later.
Right now, the priority was the frightened Rinka.
.
.
.
Entering the toilet stall,
Sasaki stood in front of the girl.
He saw her in thin, non-transparent clothes, her originally vibrant chestnut ponytail completely soaked by the rain, continuously dripping.
Looking at the petite and frail body curled into a small ball, trembling uncontrollably, while his anger surged uncontrollably, a feeling of sadness and pity also surged into the boy heart.
After all, she was the lively sister who had played with him, always following him around, calling him "brother" since she was a child.
If he were to remain indifferent upon seeing her in such a pitiable and helpless state, Sasaki wouldn't be considered a human being.
"Rinka~"
"Rinka~"
He didn't approach rashly, towards the girl, who had her head buried between her legs.
Instead, he deliberately made some noise to attract her attention, calling her softly.
After the sound of breaking the door.
Okino Rinka, who just buried her head, didn't hear any ghostly howls or wild laughter, nor did she feel the dragging sensation that seemed to pull her into the abyss.
Instead, she heard a voice, extremely familiar, softly calling her.
Thinking it was a hallucination, Rinka's small body shivered slightly.
Before she could raise her head tremblingly, a big warm hand gently stroked the wet hair on her forehead.
.
.
Feel the warmth coming from the big hands.
A familiar tall figure suddenly appeared in Okino Rinka's cold and desperate heart.
"Fuyumi...Brother Fuyumi..."
.
Whispering softly with her chattering teeth, Okino Rinka, whose eyes were red, swollen and sore, slowly raised her head and looked at the familiar face squatting in front of her at eye level with her.
And at that moment, the despair and fear filling her heart turned into tears gushing out, accompanied by heart-wrenching sobs.
"Brother Fuyumi, I'm so scared, I'm so scared, Brother Kazuki doesn't want me anymore..wuu wuu~ There are also bad people bullying Rinka... wuu wuu..."
Lowing his head, and gently patting the back of the girl, who had thrown herself into his arms, Sasaki comforted her softly.
"It's okay~ It's okay now~ It's all just a dream. It'll be fine when you wake up. It'll be fine when you wake up.
If Kazuki doesn't want you anymore, you still have your Brother Fuyumi, and he won't ever leave you alone, it's okay~"
While comforting her softly, he felt the cold and trembling body of the little one in his arms and asked her softly.
"Rinka, do you have any strength left?"
Freezing so much that her teeth uncontrollably chattered,
Wanting to burrow into Sasaki's arms for warmth but aware that she was soaking wet, just like an ice pimple condition, Okino Rin, still not moving away from his embrace, heard his question and she shook her head subconsciously.
After a moment of silence,
Knowing that continuing this way could harm Rinka, possibly even leaving lasting illness, the boy pondered:
"Rinka~ You need to take off your wet clothes first...otherwise..."
Although the hesitant words were not complete, but the girl still understood what he meant.
She knew that her current situation was very bad, so she didn't hesitate or shy away,
Instead, she weakly lowered her head onto Sasaki's shoulder, consenting with a phrase.
"Sorry to trouble...Brother Fuyumi~
The words that trembled because of the coldness made Okino Rinka even unable to tell how shy they were.
But her ice-cold and numbed heart, stung by Kazuki, warmed slightly with this whisper of shyness, bringing back some warmth.
Holding the girl, who was curled up and shivering from the cold, in one arm, Sasaki moved to the adjacent stall.
"It'll be fine in a moment..."
Closing the stall door he sighed lightly and started unbuttoning her uniform.
Because he only regarded her as a playful and lovely little sister, he did not have any distracting thoughts.
After quickly unbuttoning Okino Rinka's dripping uniform and pleated skirt, he looked at the equally drenched light white undershirt as the uniform came off and couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Then suppressing the weirdness in his heart and quickly took off the undershirt as well.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the lines on the floor tiles.
With his gaze falling to the patterns on the floor tiles, Sasaki took off his own half-wet uniform and covered the girl's head with it, using the still dry part to wipe her dripping wet hair.
"Rinka...use this to wipe your hair first, then use my uniform to dry your body, and wear my shirt to keep warm."
After saying that, Sasaki wiped her hair with one hand while unbuttoning his school uniform with the other.
After knowing that the store owner was Sister Ayumi, he didn't want to work all the time, so he didn't take off his uniform.
Fortunately, he had temporarily changed into the convenience store uniform that he still wore after leaving the office.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have enough clothes for today.
After taking off his uniform, he looked at her hair no longer dripping but still damp and handed over the clothes in his hand.
But when his hand was only halfway out he suddenly remembered that Rinka had no strength now...
And after Sasaki suggested wearing his clothes.
The thought made the girl feel the silence at that moment.
Thinking of this scene, she felt speechless at this moment and did not speak for a while.
In the end, she just lowered her head, wrapped her arms around herself, and shivered uncontrollably.
'Why are you being cowardly? As long as you are not embarrassed, then it's not awkward.'
Looking at the petite girl in front of him, head bowed, damp hair covering her face, arms wrapped around her chest, legs closed together, wearing only a pink pair of panties and bra.
Sasaki, who had prepared himself mentally, took a deep breath, and walked over with a straight face without a word.
Apart from the overwhelming pity, overflowing anger and the slight weirdness in his heart, he didn't have any lascivious thoughts.
Only a guy who only thinks with his lower body without caring about anything else would have such thoughts at this time.
As he wiped the pale girl from head to toe with three strokes, the latter just lowered her head, like a rag doll, not making any resistance movement.
.
.
.
After Sasaki took off his upper body clothes and wrapped Rinka completely, he hugged the blushing girl, who had a pale face and looked a little listless and languid, out of the toilet cubicle.
As he walked on the road, he thought about the next thing.
Although the ambulance sent by Dr. Fujitsubaki had not yet arrived, but Rinka was out of danger for the time being.
So it's the time to vent the raging anger in his heart.
