As we expected, when we arrived at the train station, it was almost devoid of people. Well, our neighborhood was a little quiet so it’s typically an everyday sight that at this time of the day, only those who weren’t from here would go and ride a train.
However, when the train arrived, most of the cars were still rather full. And mostly, they’re salarymen and women who probably had just gone off from work or drinking sessions at some bar or such stores that serve liquor. Some of them were drunk or totally out of it.
They might not be perverts but the smell of alcohol and their sweat stinks. Due to that, I grabbed Fuyu’s hand and led the girl away from those drunkards.
Her eyes widened in surprise. Obviously, it looked like I was taking advantage of her. However, upon understanding the reason I did it, she lowered her head and silently followed me, her hand closed to grip mine.
