Chapter 197 Hatchet

  From "Ueno" Station, take the "Tokiwa Line" limited express train towards "Mito" and it will take about an hour to arrive at "Ibaraki".

   on the first-class seat of a certain carriage.

   "Hey, so why are you in such a hurry to get back to Ibaraki? Kyou."

  The woman dressed as an urban beauty said to the lover beside her: "The moving company is coming tomorrow, can't you wait another day?"

   Following her gaze, a man who was looking at the scenery outside the window slowly turned his head.

   He has brown hair and brown eyes, and his facial features are straight. Even though his complexion is slightly pale, he can still be regarded as a handsome guy.

   It was Yaguchi Kyoya whose life was hanging by a thread last night.

In the face of his girlfriend's question, Yaguchi Kyoya responded with a forced smile: "...Anyway, you have already done almost everything in the workplace, and I have also entrusted the manager to the apartment, so it's early. It's okay to go back to Ibaraki early to adapt to the new environment, right?"

   "Eh—but..."

  The woman pouted a little glumly, "Even so, they haven't told you to play around with you, obviously they planned to go to Disneyland..."

  …

   Yaguchi's eyes looked around.

  Because I bought the morning ticket, there were not many people in the carriage. Even if they were included, there were only five people in total.

   The other three are: the OL sitting in the front position, the man in the suit in the front left position, and the baseball cap boy in the row next to the aisle.

   Among them, the OL is working on a computer, the man in the suit is reading, and the baseball boy is playing a game of marbles.

   Everyone was busy, and no one paid attention to them.

  The train moved smoothly.

  The bright sun shines in from the window, making people feel warm.

  The atmosphere seemed peaceful and peaceful, as if everything last night was just a dream.

   gave Yaguchi Kyouya a feeling of being out of the world.

   involuntarily rubbed his abdomen, where there seemed to be some phantom pain, and the air he inhaled in his nose also had a faint smell of sea water.

   There was a look of memory in his eyes.

   Since the incident that broke into Sayu's house, Yaguchi Kyoya fled back to his girlfriend's apartment and hid to observe the situation.

   Even though he said that he didn't care, but when he thought that he would be approached by the police, he inevitably had a feeling of fear.

   Especially when he was smashed by that hot **** the spot.

  According to his guess, even if Sayu didn't call the police, Mami's character would definitely call the police at that time.

  But after hiding in the apartment for a night, he was surprised to find that this did not happen.

   And when everything was fine the next day, Yaguchi Kyouya was finally convinced that the other party did not really call the police.

   Although he didn't understand the reason, it was a good thing for him.

   After taking the courage to accompany his girlfriend to a nearby clinic to treat the wound, Yaguchi Kyouya's hanging heart finally let go.

   Until last night.

  Because his girlfriend was going to spend the night at his best friend's house, he was left alone in the apartment.

   With a subtle mentality, Yaguchi Kyoya, who had dressed up in disguise, went to the convenience store where Mami and the others worked, and bought two cans of beer.

  Because it was already evening, it was a matter of course that he didn't see the two girls, but he got the news from the night shift staff that the girl was on leave due to illness.

   Then came the next thing. At that time, he never thought that there would be a thriller-like unfolding in the future.

  I was just staring blankly at home watching TV and drinking beer.

   As a result, he was attracted by a strange noise coming from outside the balcony. It was a sound like a pulley rubbing against the ground.

   "Gulu Gulu..."

   Looking at the empty room, Yaguchi Kyouya got up from the living room and came to the living room with dark lights.

  The cold wind blew in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and swayed the curtains.

   Tightening his clothes, he walked to the window and opened the curtains.

   I saw a large black suitcase in front of me.

   followed by—

   "Yaguchi Kyouya?"

   Accompanied by a soft inquiry sounded from behind, a hand covered with black gloves suddenly placed on his shoulder.

   In an instant, a tingling coolness rose from under his feet and quickly swept his body.

   looked back suddenly.

   Red face, raised eyebrows, long nose.

   A hideous face wrapped under a black hood slammed into his eyes so defenselessly.

   Immediately afterwards, his world went dark.

   A feeling of heart palpitations arises spontaneously.

   While thinking about this, his face became paler.

   As for the reason why that person let go of him later, Yaguchi Kyouya doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to go into it.

   Having had the privilege of tasting the water of Tokyo Bay, there was only one thought left in his mind - that is to quickly escape from this place.

   As for the others, he believed that he would have time to investigate slowly in the days to come.

  …

   "Little Gong...?"

   Seeing that he didn't speak, the woman couldn't help but asked aloud with some doubts: "What's the matter all of a sudden... By the way, your face looks so bad, is it because you are not feeling well?"

"…Uh-?"

   Returning from the state of wandering, he licked his dry lips.

   Facing the woman's question, Yaguchi Kyouya rubbed his face and said, "...Sorry, I just happened to be thinking about something. I probably didn't rest well last night, so I was a little dizzy."

   heard the words.

   "That's why I said you don't have to leave in such a hurry."

  The woman first said something a bit strange, and then she took his hand very considerately.

   "But it seems like it's time to eat some sweets. It means that I just bought a muffin before getting in the car. Let's eat it together~~?"

   Feeling the temperature in his hands, Yaguchi Kyouya's face couldn't help but feel much better.

   He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but a strange voice suddenly came from the next door of the aisle.

   "Gulu Gulu Gulu..."

   When the sound came to my ears.

   His pupils instantly dilated, and he suddenly looked over there.

  I saw the boy in the baseball cap bent over and picked up a marble from the ground, as if he had accidentally dropped it while playing.

   When the other party raised his head, a handsome and handsome face was reflected in Yaguchi Kyouya's eyes.

   Probably felt that the noise he made was disturbing others.

   Facing his horrified gaze, the boy nodded apologetically, then put away the marbles and walked outside.

  'Am I thinking too much? '

   couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, feeling a little headache, he said to the woman: "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom, you can eat the muffin first."

After    finished speaking, he walked directly towards the connection of the carriage.

   is both unexpected and reasonable.

   When he came to the bathroom, he saw that the young man just lowered his head and walked out of it.

   Probably didn't see his relationship.

"boom-"

   The bodies of the two of them collided inadvertently.

   looked up at him, and the boy smiled apologetically, then walked away.

   "Will this person not apologize?" Yaguchi Kyouya frowned and muttered in a low voice, but he didn't think much about it.

   in about five minutes.

When he returned to the carriage, the boy had already played marbles on the table again, and his girlfriend had prepared muffins, sprinkled with snow-white frosting sugar and golden honey, looking very of appetite.

   "Ah, it looks delicious, thank you Yumiko." Yaguchi Kyouya said.

  The woman known as Yumiko stood up from her seat with her head lowered and let her boyfriend sit.

   "Even the tableware is prepared, you are really considerate."

   After sighing, he lowered his head and enjoyed it.

   "Hey, Kyoumi..."

   His girlfriend suddenly called his name and said, "This time back in Ibaraki, will you marry me?"

   Yaguchi Kyoya who was eating muffins raised his head in confusion, "You said marriage...? Why did you suddenly bring up this issue?"

   A brief silence.

  I saw the woman take a deep breath: "That's because I want to marry you!"

   The sudden increase in the tone not only surprised Yaguchi Kyoya, but even the other passengers looked sideways.

   "Uh, your voice is too loud, Yumiko."

   Yaguchi swallowed the muffin in his mouth and was a little impatient: "Anyway, why don't you sit down and discuss this issue?"

   However, the other party shook his head, and then placed something in his hand on the table with a "snack" sound.

   "This, is Xiao Gong's phone?"

   said in a low, trembling voice: "I saw it! Are you dating other people besides me!?"

   The woman raised her head suddenly, and what caught her eye was an angry and sad face.

   Looking at the chat software interface on the phone, Yaguchi Kyouya suddenly became unnatural.

   subconsciously touched his pocket, he asked in a deep voice, "Why is my phone with you..."

"answer me-!"

The    woman interrupted him directly, and said in a suppressed voice, "So...what are you going to do after that?"

   As if he was also puzzled by the other party's question, Yaguchi Kyoya opened his mouth and responded, "What to do... I plan to love everyone from now on..."

   "What are you talking about? You are an idiot!"

The    woman asked angrily, with a look of confusion and regret on her face at the same time, "Associating with seven people at the same time! It's crazy! How do you want to deal with the problem of marriage?"

   Seeing that things had come to this point, Yaguchi Kyouya simply stopped hiding it.

   first lowered his head and took a bite of the muffin, and then said to the other party with a non-self-interested attitude: "You don't need to get married, it's okay to have love, right?"

  The woman's expression froze on her face.

   was a little quiet for a few seconds.

   Then, tears involuntarily fell from his eyes.

   With a long inhalation sound, she gripped the muffin knife tightly with trembling hands.

   "This is... your punishment for playing with me." She said with tears in her eyes.

   With a certain determination and madness, the woman stabbed the man in front of her without hesitation.

The   metal blade shone with a dazzling white light in the sunlight.

   When the other party stretched out his hand to the muffin knife, Yaguchi Kyoya, who had a premonition that something was wrong, stood up from his seat in advance and tried to dodge.

  According to his original expectation, even if there is no escape space behind him, the knife will only stab him in the chest at most.

However-

   "Duh-"

   There seemed to be some kind of small sound coming from the opposite position, and then a piercing pain came from the calf.

   Unable to control himself, he bent down.

   Then—

   "Pfft—"

  The sound of the blade piercing into the body sounded in his ears, and his throat subconsciously cooled.

  Some kind of warm liquid burst out from the neck and splashed onto the woman's face.

   Yaguchi Kyouya's vision also began to gradually darken.

   "Gulu Gulu Gulu..."

   An abnormal sound came to the ear.

   In a strange way, he raised his eyes and looked at the position across the aisle.

   A handsome face with no joy and no sorrow came into view, a pair of dark pupils were looking at him quietly, and gradually overlapped with the eyes under the Tengu mask in his mind.

  'Ah, so that's how it is…'

  As this thought arises in his mind, Yaguchi Kyouya's world also plunges into boundless darkness.

   "Plop—"

   As his body fell heavily into a pool of blood, there was a shrill scream in the carriage.

   pressed the baseball cap on his head, the boy stared out the window and said something softly.

  "Lifeislikeafuckingcomedy."
