Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 105 Thirteen Steps

The twilight was getting thicker, and there was no movement of others in the school, and the corridor was filled with an atmosphere that seemed to suck people into the depths of darkness.

Ying Lili stopped suddenly in the middle of the corridor, then squinted her highly myopic eyes desperately, and looked into the depths of the dark school building.

She is the highly anticipated trump card in the art department, the No.1 beautiful girl in the classroom, and the eldest lady of the high-paying sponsor's family in the teacher's office.

However, in the girl's current appearance, she didn't have the confidence or strength like the usual Qianjin, and she seemed a little scared.

"...Should...no one is there."

Inexplicably, he remembered the bad joke someone made with her just now.

"...The thirteenth step...it's just a lie."

Ying Lili, who muttered like this, finally began to adapt her eyes to the dark environment.

Taking slow steps, as if confirming the existence of the floor, she moved forward step by step.

The wind blowing outside the window rattled the glass.

In the quiet corridor, only light footsteps and weak breathing sounded in the girl's ears.

The corridor, which is usually not long, suddenly became strange at this time.

Rounding the corner, Ying Lili began to climb down the stairs.

One, two, three... Eleven, twelve, they arrived at the middle ground between the second floor and the third floor.

"...What, what do I care about?"

The girl caressing her chest involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to walk down, her steps gradually brisk.

One, two, three... eleven, twelve... thirteen?
With a click, Ying Lili's body froze after landing smoothly.

How many did I just count?

This question popped up uncontrollably in my mind.

It was followed by a burst of coldness.

Cold sweat trickled down his graceful cheeks.

There seemed to be countless malicious sights in the darkness, condensed.

I have to get out of here...!
He obviously thought so, but his legs were as heavy as lead, and a sense of isolation and helplessness invaded him.At this moment——

Tap... Tap... Tap... Tap.

Slow footsteps came from behind...or from the direction of the third floor.

who... who...?
There is obviously no one there...!
My heart was pounding, and my thoughts began to falter.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly, but it still couldn't stop the approaching steps.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Four steps, five steps, six steps...

After that, I can't remember where I counted.

Finally, the footsteps stopped behind him.

A gust of cool wind blew on the neck, causing countless tiny particles to appear on the skin instantly.

"no, do not want……!"

Ying Lili said in a trembling voice, and couldn't help but her legs softened, and she fell to her knees on the ground.

Even with the cover of the over-the-knee socks, it can't stop the coldness from the ground from continuously penetrating into the skin.

But what terrified her more than that was the existence behind it who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost.

When the weird campus talk that I thought was ridiculous before really happened at this moment, all that was left was fear.

Is it a monster?Will it be a monster?
Just as she was thinking this way, a familiar voice sounded from the back of her head.

"What are you doing here?"

There was some doubt in the calm tone.

"Yeah... eh...?"

Looking back suddenly, what caught my eyes was a clean and handsome face.

Ying Lili's expression froze on her face.

After a while of silence.

Kato Yusuke could clearly see the change process of the other party's expression from dull, to stunned, to angry.

"...dead...dead..."

West?West what?
"Huh? Did you say something...?"

He didn't hear clearly, he took a step forward.Then--

The girl opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, the crisp and clear sweet voice of a beautiful woman resounded through the stairwell.

"Why did you rush out all of a sudden~~~~!!!"

The decibels were so sharp that they seemed to break through the eardrums, making Kato Yusuke cover his ears involuntarily.

after a while

When the girl finally calmed down, he rubbed his ears and said.

"...Didn't I tell you to take you to the station? When I went downstairs, I saw you standing here motionless."

"Then, why didn't I see you just now!" the girl asked.

"Huh?" Kato Yusuke frowned, "Because I returned the key in the office, the art room."

He stretched out a hand to Ying Lili who was kneeling on the ground.

"Isn't it cold on the ground? Get up soon..."

"Don't worry about it! I can stand up by myself!"

The girl said a little arrogantly, and slapped his hand away, and stood up by herself.

It just seems to be because of being on the ground for too long, and getting up was a bit too violent.

"Ah..."

Before Ying Lili stood up straight, her body swayed and fell forward under the dual effects of numbness in her feet and black eyes.

Then someone grabbed his shoulders.

"Are you OK?"

"..."

Seeing the girl looking unwell, Kato Yusuke asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Ying Lili frowned and shook her head: "...I'm fine with such trivial matters."

The dizziness of the brain made the girl's tone sound a little weak, and Kato Yusuke didn't understand the reason, so out of caution, the boy made a decision directly.

"Come on, let's go to the hospital."

"...doctor...huh?"

Before Ying Lili could react, she was picked up by the squatting opponent.

The sense of weightlessness from her body made her subconsciously wrap her arms around the other's neck.

A pleasant mint aroma pervaded the air, and the girl finally realized what had happened.

Suddenly, her face turned red.

The shyness and panic that followed became the motivation for the struggle.

"Wait...! You, you, you, you, what are you doing!?"

"Take you to the hospital." Unmoved, Kato Yusuke walked down the stairs quickly with her on his back and said, "We'll be there soon, do you want to contact your parents before then?"

"Who is going to that kind of place! You should put me down quickly!" Ying Lili said with a red face.

This kind of intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex other than her father for the first time since she grew up had a much stronger impact on the girl's heart than she had imagined.

Especially the hands that hugged his knees, he always felt that the temperature coming from him made his body very uncomfortable.

"You don't need to force yourself. Since you promised your parents, I will take care of you."

"It's said that you misunderstood! I'm just a little dizzy, not to the point where I need to go to the hospital!"

Facing the girl's defense, Kato Yusuke just responded flatly.

"Whether you need it or not, wait until you see the doctor."

This kind of ignorance of listening to her at all made Ying Lili go crazy in her heart.

She wanted to jump down, but her legs were tightly bound, coupled with her fear of getting hurt, she was a little afraid to do that.

After all, Kato Yusuke is really fast now.

From the rustling wind in my ears, and the constantly retreating scenery, I can know that it will definitely be uncomfortable if I really want to fall.

under such circumstances.

The girl who couldn't vent her complicated emotions made a long complaint.

"Really~~~! I don't care about the things after that~~~!!!"
