Tokyo was particularly gloomy in the rainy night. Even though it still looked bright and colorful on the surface, no matter how grand the lights were, it could not hide the man-eating nature of this steel beast.
Just like at this moment.
Nishijo Miha curled up under the blanket, her eyes absent-mindedly looking at the figure behind the matte glass that was blurred by the water vapor.
In the haziness, the power and beauty of the lines could be vaguely seen.
She only took a glance before she retracted her head.
Even now, she still felt like she was in a dream.
Why…did she end up in the hotel?
Although he was indeed very handsome, she did not feel much happiness from meeting a prince charming, even if he did look very similar to the prince charming in her heart.
Fairy tales were fairy tales, and reality was reality. She was still able to distinguish between them.
What would happen to her next?
In an instant, she regretted it and wanted to go home. However, this thought only lasted for a moment. In the end, it could not push away the heavy stubbornness in her heart.
She was not wrong!
No matter what, she could not admit her mistake and lower her head.
If he was really a bad person, she would die with him.
When Saijo Miha, who had made up her mind, came back to her senses, she realized that Higashino Sorgo had already finished showering. He was sitting on the bed and looking at her quietly.
"Ah!"
She let out a cute, panicked scream, then ducked her head even deeper.
Higashino Sorgo looked at the decreasing heart rate on his interface, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
She was clearly too engrossed in her own thoughts. How could he be affected?
"Saijo."
"What are your plans for the future?" he asked in a stern tone like an elder.
He understood that he should be a little stronger when facing such a shy girl.
In any case, with his current appearance and attire, she would not believe that he was a student who was about the same age as her.
"... Plan?"
She timidly stuck her head out and looked at him with a trembling gaze.
"Yes, I am."
"Are you planning to run away from home for the rest of your life?" asked Dongye Kongo.
"No, I-I don't plan to do that."
Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke. Fortunately, the soundproofing here was still good. The majestic rain was isolated from the outside along with the wild rain. Otherwise, no matter how good Dongye Sorgo's hearing was, he might not be able to hear her clearly in such a loud rain.
"Then what are your plans?"
She was confused again when she thought about this.
How would a lost lamb know how to move forward, let alone in such a cold steel city?
"I, I…don't know."
Her head was almost completely buried under the blanket, leaving only a strand of hair that had stood up and was still jumping outside.
Higashino Sorgo sighed as if he had expected this.
Fortunately, he didn't have the bad taste of plucking radishes. He only said,"Then you'd better think about it.".
"Mmmm-"
The drawn-out ending was half helpless and half worried.
The topic should have ended here.
However, Higashino Sorgo was not satisfied with this. If possible, he wanted to try and see what kind of existence a friend was.
Did he need the other party to admit it personally, or did he just need to have a good impression of him?
"Saijo." Higashino immediately spoke.
"Hmm?"
Saijo Miha looked at him blankly.
"In your opinion, can we be considered friends now?"
"I…"
Saijo Miha opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer.
In her opinion, how could their relationship be considered friends?
But if they were not friends, what kind of relationship did they have now?
She was at a loss.
"I guess…I guess so."
She hesitated for a moment and stammered.
"Is that so?"
There was not much emotion in Higashino Sorgo's tone.
He looked at the notification on the interface.
There, the mission still didn't show that it was completed.
It made sense. After all, the prerequisite was to open his heart.
They had never even opened their hearts, so how could the two of them be called friends?
"Go to sleep."
he said, turning around and lying down.
A person like her would never open her heart and talk to him just because they had spent a day and a night together.
……
……
The next morning.
When Higashino Sorgo woke up, the sky in Tokyo was gray. The gray clouds were like the unchanging crows.
It was still raining after a whole night.
The rain was empty and did not make people feel cold at all.
On the bed next to her, Saijo Miha hugged her knees and looked at the sky alone. No one knew what she was thinking.
Was it because she was afraid that he would do something to her when she fell asleep, so she didn't sleep the entire night?
Dongye Kongwu thought.
"Saijou-san."
"Yes, sir!"
His voice undoubtedly frightened her.
She shuddered and quickly turned to look at him.
"Don't be so nervous, I…"
Looking at her terrified eyes, Higashino Sorgo began to think about what he had done last night. Was he a little too much?
No, to be precise, it was not his actions, but his starting point.
Wasn't it a little too much to treat her as a tool to complete a mission?
However, in just a few minutes, how could he suddenly think of an answer?
Since he couldn't think of an answer, he might as well not think about it.
"I just wanted to ask you what you want to eat for breakfast."
Higashino sighed and said helplessly.
"Eh?"
" What?" A stunned expression appeared on Saijo Miha's face. Then, she stammered," No, there's no need."
"Do you have classes today?"
he asked again.
"I-I actually dropped out of school."
Dropped out?
" Why?" A surprised expression finally appeared on Higashino Sorgo's face." Why?"
Saijo Miha lowered her head, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
Higashino Sorgo guessed that she had fallen out with her family because of this expulsion.
Or did she quit school because she had fallen out with her family?
In his opinion, these two situations should be more inclined towards the first.
If that was the case, then he should find out why the other party had withdrawn from school.
