Chapter 93 The Primary Source Of All The Trouble

At the same time, in the class of 1-D classroom.

"He still haven't returned..."

Sakura Airi stood by the window, watching the sky outside gradually being tinged with the colors of the setting sun. Her voice carried a strong sense of unease.

There was no other way.

Whether it was due to concern over the outcome of the incident or not, the classmates in the class hadn't stayed in the classroom. They had left, leaving Sakura Airi all alone.

For Sakura Airi, this situation was the most frightening.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have blended in with the crowd and returned to the dorm..."

But that wouldn't solve the problem at all.

Yesterday, Sakura Airi had done just that.

But even when she returned to the dorm, Sakura Airi didn't feel even the slightest sense of security. She could only hide under her covers, trembling with fear, not daring to use her computer or phone.

That feeling was pushing Sakura Airi to the brink of collapse.

That's why Sakura Airi had turned to Fang Li for help.

Being by Fang Li's side was the safest place for her.

Sakura Airi was certain of that.

Because anyone around her would show malice, except for Fang Li.

Through a holiday, Sakura Airi had confirmed that Fang Li was not someone to be feared. Only then could she be certain of that.

But now, everyone around her had disappeared, leaving Sakura Airi all alone in this place.

"If I were to be found at this moment..."

Sakura Airi involuntarily uttered these words, but quickly shook her head to dispel the unease and fear in her heart.

"No... It won't happen... It definitely won't happen..."

Sakura Airi could only look through the window, watching the people coming and going on the road below the school building, sincerely pleading.

"Please come quickly..."

Her expression was as if she was seeking a reliable partner.

For Sakura Airi, her biggest failure in life was happening in this moment.

Her plea didn't bring the response she had hoped for from the person she had in mind. Instead, it brought a response from the person she least wanted to see at this moment.

"As expected, you've been waiting for me all this time."

Accompanied by a voice filled with intoxication, trembling, and ecstatic joy, Sakura Airi's whole body shuddered, and the phone she was holding tightly slipped from her hand.

"Crack..."

With a crisp sound, the phone that Sakura Airi had been holding fell to the floor and rolled away.

Then, with a pale face, Sakura Airi stiffened her body and slowly turned around, looking behind her.

The next moment, Sakura Airi saw it.

A store employee wearing an electronics store uniform had suddenly appeared in the classroom of 1-D.

His eyes, filled with the same aggression as on that holiday, stared fiercely with desire.

And he was ecstatic due to his excitement.

"Ah...!"

Sakura Airi recoiled as if struck by lightning.

But behind Sakura Airi was the classroom window and the wall where there was no way to retreat.

"You... You're lying..."

Sakura Airi could only press against the wall, voicing her fear.

"Ha... Ha..."

The store employee, in his excitement, trembling with anticipation and ecstatic joy, slowly approached Sakura Airi.

"Did... Did you see my messages? Is that why you're specifically waiting for me here?"

The store employee's neurotic voice continued to ring out, rapid and chilling.

"I... I knew that we were connected by fate! Finally... Finally, I've been waiting for this day!"

In this terrifying tone, the store employee expressed his love for Sakura Airi while moving closer to her.

"Don't... Don't come any closer..."

Sakura Airi watched the scene unfolding before her, shaking her head incessantly.

Fear had taken over her gaze, her expression, and her inner being.

The store employee seemed indifferent to it all.

In fact, in his eyes, only Sakura Airi remained, completely ignoring her feelings.

"Do you know? Do you know?"

The store employee spoke as if driven mad.

"T...The first time I saw you in a magazine, I fell in love with you. And now, we meet here. It must be destiny, don't you think?"

"I love you so much, I can't stop loving you."

"Now, I'll reveal my true love to you and let us be connected."

As the store employee spoke, his eyes started to wander over Sakura Airi's body.

From her legs, hips, abdomen, waist, and up to her chest, the store employee scanned these areas with a lecherous gaze.

Desire had completely leaked from the store employee's eyes.

Feeling the unabashedly lewd gaze of the clerk, how could Sakura Airi not understand how dire her situation was?

"Don't... Don't..."

Sakura Airi could only shake her pale face, hoping that the person before her would realize what they were doing.

Unfortunately, Sakura Airi didn't know that her trembling appearance, fueled by fear, only heightened the sadistic tendencies of the man before her.

"In the future, we'll always be together!"

"Shizuku!"

Calling out the name hidden deep in his heart, the store employee, with a terrifying aura, lunged towards Sakura Airi.

Despair began to surge within Sakura Airi's heart.

She could only utter that name.

"Nanaya-san!"

A scream of desperation, representing the final hope in the girl's heart, reverberated throughout the classroom.

And this time, Sakura Airi's plea was answered.

"Bang!"

A muffled impact reverberated through the air.

It was the sound of a chair being kicked and sent flying from the entrance of the classroom.

The chair, propelled like a concealed weapon, soared through the air with an almost sonic boom-like force.

Finally, it crashed mercilessly into the approaching store employee, who was charging towards Sakura Airi.

"Thud!"

The resounding impact followed suit.

The back of the store employee, who was lunging towards Sakura Airi, was struck by the swiftly flying chair.

"Guh...!?"

Under the force of the impact, the desire-ridden store employee seemed to exhale all the air from his chest, emitting only a muffled grunt before tumbling to the ground.

Only at this moment did the sound that Sakura Airi had been longing to hear reached her ears.

"So, you're the one responsible for the anomalous behavior of Sakura for the past two days?"

Within the calm voice, a trace of coldness seeped through, jolting Sakura Airi out of her fear-induced stupor.

She quickly opened her eyes, which she had unconsciously shut, and turned her gaze towards the classroom entrance.

Standing there was the person she had been calling out for all along.

"Nanaya-san!"

Sakura Airi's voice rang out, a mixture of overwhelming joy and relief, as if she had been given a second chance at life.

Fang Li couldn't have missed it.

Looking at Sakura Airi, who was leaning against the wall, trembling with fear, Fang Li lowered his gaze to the fallen store employee in front of him.

In his pitch-black eyes, a chilling coldness flickered.
