"Sasaki-kun~Sasaki-kun~"
Listening to the soft call in his ear, the boy's hazy vision gradually became clear as an extremely delicate face came into view.
"Sasaki-kun, you weren't sleeping during the exam, were you?"
Looking at the boy with confused eyes and a red mark on the side of his face, Haruno Ayato felt a little confused.
Stretching and waking up, Sasaki looked around the nearly empty classroom and shook his head slowly:
"No, I went to sleep after I finished."
"Ah? Are Sasaki's English grades good? I heard from other students that this time the English questions were quite difficult."
"Difficult? It was okay, I guess. The choices were a bit limited, but it wasn't much different. I finished in a minute."
Haruno Ayato: "..."
Twitching the corner of his mouth, the boy had a vague idea of Sasaki's exam performance.
If he unlucky, it would be single digits, and if lucky, it should be over 40...
As for himself...
After working so hard on the questions, he should be able to pass...
With this thought in his mind, Haruno Ayato, who was going to work in a convenience store, waved his hand to Sasaki who was packing his schoolbag:
"I'm going to the store first."
"good."
After he left, Sasaki had just stood up after packing his schoolbag when the message notification sounded from the phone inside his pocket.
Ding~
Taking out his mobile phone and looking at the messages, his lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.
'Can't hold back now, huh? Even more eager than I thought.'
Serizawa Yukiha: [Sasaki-kun, the janitor uncle afrom yesterday said he wanted to thank me, should... should I go with him?]15:15 'Read'
Lifting his finger slightly, Sasaki edited a message while walking towards that direction.
Sasaki Fuyumi: [Do you want to go?]15:15 'Read'
Serizawa Yukiha: [I...I feel like it's not good to refuse, he is waiting for me outside the library now, if you don't want me to go, I'll refuse him now...]15:15 'Read'
Having turned the corner of the corridor, Sasaki looked at Masami Kitou who was looking around anxiously in the corridor, and edited a message again.
Sasaki Fuyumi: [If you don't want to refuse, then go ahead. Just go and come back quickly. ]15:15「Read」
Yukiha Serizawa: [Okay, I will be back soon. ]15:16「Read」
The moment the message was sent,
Sasaki, with his keen senses, heard the soft footsteps coming from the library.
Swish-click—
Opening the library door, Serizawa Yukiha saw the janitor looking around anxiously and called out to him with a hint of confusion.
"Janitor-san, I've put away my bag... you?"
The camera had already been tampered with by him, choosing a time when most students were at their club activities.
Because it was his first time doing such a thing, Masami Kitou was still afraid of being caught by others.
But upon hearing that gentle voice and seeing the plump, youthful body of the girl,
The anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were instantly burned away by the blazing fire of greed.
There was only one thought in his mind right now.
That is... to turn this gentle and kind-hearted girl in front of him into something that exclusively belonged to him.
The greed in his heart made the fake smile on his aged face appear more sincere and... unsettling.
"Oh~ No worries, everything's ready, let's head out now."
Although she felt that the janitor's smile in front of her was somewhat frightening,
But Serizawa Yukiha, with her inherently good nature, didn't think someone she was helping would harm her.
So, pushing aside that slight unease in her heart,
She nodded her head.
"Okay, thank you, Janitor-san."
Walking through the deserted corridor,
Serizawa Yukiha followed Kitou Masami to a room at the very corner on the first floor of the school's equipment building.
"This is the school's storage room, where I keep the tools I need for work, and the gift I have for you is also inside.
Taking out the key and opening the door, Kitou Masami entered the room and poured a cup of the prepared drink for Serizawa Yukiha.
"I'll go get your gift, have some water if you're thirsty in the meantime."
"Okay, thank you, Janitor-san." Placing the drink smoothly on the table, the later thanked him.
Her kindness always made her see the best in people.
Thus, she appeared quite unguarded against strangers.
But no matter how low her guard was, she still knew not to drink beverages offered by strangers in such isolated circumstances.
And she had agreed to follow Kitou Masami here,
Simply because she believed that being in the school and with a school employee, there would be no danger.
Under this premise, she accepted his gratitude due to her soft-heartedness.
Otherwise, no matter how soft-hearted and kind-hearted she was, she still knee that it was extremely inappropriate to run around with strangers.
Seeing that Yukiha Serizawa didn't drink the drink he gave her, the ugly janitor grinned somewhat distressedly:
"I thought to save where I could, but I didn't expect you not to drink. Not drinking? If you won't drink, don't expect to leave here conscious."
"You..."
Even a fool could sense the evil intentions in his words.
So, when Serizawa Yukiha saw the malice openly displayed on his face, she tried to turn and run towards the door.
But as soon as she turned around, a big rough hand pressed on her weak shoulder.
The rough hand, exerting a force, she couldn't resist, brutally twisted her body back around.
Staring at the janitor's sinister smiling face with trembing eyes, Serizawa Yukiha didn't even get the chance to call for help,
Before the white spray bottle in his other hand appeared before her face.
Hiss—
The mist sprayed from the transparent bottle landed on the girl's face, filled with panic.
She didn't smell anything.
But feeling the chill on her face, Serizawa Yukiha's mind, already filled with chaos and nervousness, began to experience unbearable dizziness.
Accompanied by a loss of awareness of her body, the girl's vision also began to spin.
The dizziness in her mind was like a tsunami, sweeping over and destroying her sanity.
The soreness in her eyes and the increasingly muddled thoughts blurred her vision.
And the last image she saw before passing out was the slowly approaching, maliciously smiling ugly bastard.
'Who will... save me...'
The panic and regret in her heart made Serizawa Yukiha shed a line of tears from the corners of her eyes.
Using the remaining hazy consciousness, she remembered several messages she sent before coming out.
'Sasaki-kun...'
As her blurry vision faded to darkness, just before sinking into the abyss, she faintly heard the sound of crisp knocking.
Knock knock—
Looking at Serizawa Yukiha who fainted on the ground and lost consciousness.
Kitou Masami, alarmed by the knocking at the door, frantically looked around for a place to hide.
'Got it!'
Spotting a tall storage cabinet in the corner of the room, he hadn't even taken a step to clear its contents when
Boom—
A deafening thunderous noise, as if the ceiling was shedding a layer of dust from the shock, erupted behind him.
