Threshold of palm

The lips are finally bloody.Zhongshan, who was smiling with great interest, was about to speak when someone else's voice came from behind as if he couldn't bear it any longer.

"...That's the end of the superfluous words. I'm going to get angry?"

Not treating the other person as an equal, but a cold, vermin-like voice...but very charming.

Want to be someone else who just has a similar voice.Want to believe something is wrong.

However, the man who walked over quietly was not mistaken.Such a coquettish and beautiful man, there is no one else other than him.

Zhongshan glanced at Shuma sympathetically and shrugged.

"...I don't want to be angered by you. Finally, Xiaozawa has been ensured. The imprisoned prince seems to be safe and well. We will take responsibility and educate Xiaozawa again. Can we make things even now?"

"Shinozawa's administrative tasks were originally entrusted to you, right?"

"I'm sorry. I caught him according to your instructions and imprisoned him all the time. I just didn't pay attention, and the person in charge of the guard was thinking about it. Make him sleep with a guy who can also talk to men, and secretly extort money. Then , Xiaozawa is gradually losing his mind, he must have been drugged. Those guys have been dealt with by me just now, I will let Xiaozawa detoxify, and I will take good care of him in the future... can't you?"

"...Okay. But, there will be no next time"

"Yes! Thank you very much!"

Zhongshan straightened his back and bowed ninety degrees, and walked away quickly like a well-trained watchdog.

Light streamed in from the open door, and the flying dust glistened.It's like an angel's halo.

If you are a devout believer, you may have knelt down at your feet long ago.To this man in his expensive leather boots walking on the dirty floor, slowly approaching the counting horse like a saint.

——To this man named Tsubaki Yukiya.

"...Don't, don't come here..."

Shuma shook his head in fear, and stepped back step by step.The black eyes that didn't look at Zhongshan at all were shining with demonic light, tightly entangled with several horses.

Is what Shinozawa said true?

Did the Okudera-gumi take your money to work?I've been tortured, and you know all about it.He knew it, but he didn't stop it until the class reunion.Is Zhongshan your accomplice?

No—after all, it was all his conspiracy from the very beginning.

There are too many questions I want to ask, but in fact, there is only one sentence that comes out of my mouth.

"Don't come here..., don't come here, don't come here!"

His back touched the wall, and Shuma threw the chairs piled up on the table towards him one by one.However, no matter which one, he easily avoided it softly and gracefully.

——No, no, no!

That's not snow.It was just another person with the same attitude as Snow.It must be so.

However, don't say no, the questions that are about to be forgotten are solved one by one like a puzzle.

He was attacked on the way back from the class reunion, and his home was ransacked not long after he started living in Yukiya's house. The day after he was hugged by Yukiya, he witnessed Zhongshan and the others for a long time.

Thinking about it carefully, the Okudera group... When Zhongshan and the others want to do something with Shuma, it is often related to snow.Although I haven't noticed it all the time, if Xue is also instigating behind the scenes, I can accept it.

...then...

Suma trembled when he realized that he might have made a huge misunderstanding.There was nothing to throw on the table, and the outstretched hand fell to nothing.

...The animation of the entrapment of Suma was shot at perfect timing.Could it be that Zhongshan and the others filmed it?

If Zhongshan is not to collect debts, but to monitor and count horses.Ever since he lived in Xueye's house, he has been monitoring several horses outside.

...If it was Yuki who ordered them to collect evidence that had a bad influence on Shuma.All the actions are the wind's words in Xue Ye's ears.

"...Poor Shuma"

Boom, a rough movement contrary to the gentle and compassionate tone, Yukiya put his hands on the wall next to Susuma's face.The fairer and more dazzling beauty in the dimness leaned closer.

There is nowhere to run.

"You're shaking. It's because you're only wearing a thin coat on such a cold day."

"...Uh, huh, uh...!"

When the button was released and the unfolded coat was gently draped over Shuma's body, Shuma's back slowly slid down the wall.Xue also looked down at Shu Ma who had fallen to the ground.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Shinozawa did something?"

The harmless black eyes that never allowed Yi to leave at the beginning, and the expression that really didn't know why Suuma was trembling, were all terrifying.

Wanting to ignore Yukiya as much as possible, wanting him to return to the old Yukina—wanting him to tell himself that what happened so far was all a dream, Suuma tried hard to move his mouth.Little did he know that this pushed himself into an even more desperate abyss.

"...What if, something happens to you, what are you going to do?"

"destroy him"

After asserting nonchalantly, Snow also smiled.

"Erasure and destroy all traces of Shinozawa's existence in the world.... But, with his appearance, even if I don't do anything, he will destroy himself."

"……stop……"

"There's no need to feel guilty about counting horses, right? Because I tricked Xiaozawa into an underground casino, he borrowed financing from Zhongshan and the others, but I didn't force him to assist me in framing you. Xiaozawa didn't refuse my proposal. It's what he deserves"

"...Stop..., please, stop..."

—Stop talking with that face, that mouth, that voice!

As long as he said one sentence, as long as he said that Xiaozawa and Zhongshan's words were all lies, he would believe it.But Xue didn't deny it, on the contrary, she revealed the fact that she didn't want to accept it.Not at all timid, full of pride.

"...Do you hate me..."

At that time, there was no strong white body like it is now.It was the first time I confessed to myself, with gorgeous and ruddy lips.Black eyes stained with lust.Intertwined soft limbs.A unilateral breakup email.Memories from a few years ago flashed in my mind and couldn't go away.

"...As expected..., you, do you hate me...? That's why you resorted to this trick to deceive me..."

"……hehe……"

These throat-thirsty questions received incomprehensible answers.

Snow also showed a dazzling and refreshing smile like fresh snow that had just piled up, bent her knees as if covering the horses, and covered the cheeks of the horses with both palms.The method that should have been gentle and normal made me feel like I was imprisoned, all because Zhongshan's lines just lingered in my mind.

All his life, he was lovingly raised by his master until his death.

"It's so cute, counting horses. Ahh... I've been, waiting for this moment to come..."

"……What's the meaning……"

"Your relatives, friends, company, boss, girls who have a crush on you...all of them have abandoned you. You should have experienced the feeling of being suddenly abandoned by someone you trust, right?"

The invisible blade of words pierced straight through the trembling heart of Susuma.The absolutely inescapable black eyes, twisted in the tear film.

Yuki also licked the tears accumulated in the corners of Susuma's eyes with her tongue.

"But, don't get me wrong. I don't hate you."

"...Then, why, what..."

"Just, I just want to give you a gift. Let you taste the feeling I endured when you suddenly betrayed me.... Then, let you think that only I will accept you, and you will always want to depend on me. Just like like mother

"your mother……?"

Xue, who was still a middle school student, devoted herself to caring for her selfish mother who abused her until her mother died.

When I heard Utomu mention it, I still thought it was a good talk, but now I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back.The black eyes brought an ominous premonition to Shuma.

"Until she was bedridden due to illness, my mother always played with men and never looked at me. ...But, my mother, who couldn't get out of bed alone, spoke soft words to me for the first time... You rely on me. Although everyone around you sympathizes with us, I am very happy. Because, if mother does not rely on me, she will not be able to go anywhere or do anything.”

After licking the tears, the tip of the tongue climbed from the corners of the eyes to the cheeks and lips.

"So, when you disappeared from my eyes, I made a decision. I want you to be like my mother. The reason why I was eager to become a lawyer was also for this purpose."

Bearing Xue Ye's tongue submissively, she feels more sadness than fear.

"If you are not alone by my side, you will not only rely on me, even if you don't love me, you can only rely on me to live. I changed your body like this"

Xue also finally liberated Shuma, and took out a small box from his pocket.It is a very common nutritional supplement food.Tear open the silver inner packaging, fold the contents into the size of fingertips, and stuff them into Shuma's mouth.

"...The human sense of taste is very delicate and simple. Humans who have been eating ready-made products mixed with additives for a long time, as long as they cut off the additives for a while, the food that was once edible will become unpalatable. "

"Cough cough,... Phew, cough cough cough cough"

The taste that I have eaten many times and should be familiar with is not recognized as food by Shuma's tongue.Worse than when Kinoshita let himself eat cookies.Maybe that's what it smells like if it's caked with putrid sludge.It's unbelievable that Yuki also chewed and swallowed the remaining lumps without incident.

He obviously wanted to spit it out immediately, but his lips were covered by Xue Ye's hand.Try not to taste the taste, just minimally chew and swallow with saliva.

Xue also lovingly stroked the throat that swallowed the foul-smelling foreign body, overlapping her lips as if giving a reward.A tongue covered with a lot of body fluid sneaked in, and several horses entangled their own tongue selflessly.Under the nectar-like body fluid and the softness of the tongue, the stench in the mouth dissipated.

"...Look, right. Already, understand?"

The lips that dragged Silver Thread away made a smile.

"Your tongue didn't become weird because of the pressure.... I used various methods to transform it into a food that can only accept me and the food I made."

"...Hoo..., Uh..."

Suma calmed down his rapid breathing and heartbeat, staring at Yukiya's beautiful smile.

Now that the truth is clear, everything is clear.It must not be just the tongue that has been transformed.

When I first hid at Xueye's house, I had frequent lascivious dreams.That is not a dream, it must be reality.It is very possible for Yuki to mix a powerful sleep-inducing agent into the food, and to see the time when the horse is lethargic and return home to play with this body.

... It's just that all of this is infected with the poison and thorns called attachment.

"Ugh... ah, ah, ah..."

An unbearable whimper finally escaped, and Suma propped his hands on the floor.What was rushing wildly in his body was not anger at him for torturing himself, nor was it hatred.

It's just, sad.His chest hurts as if it had been scratched.

Snow also took away all of Shuma.Job, interpersonal relationship, reserve as a man, everything.

——But, who forced him to do this?

Xueye's mother suddenly became gentle after lying in bed, because the only person who took care of her was her son.Obviously Shuma noticed it, but Xue, who was a hundred times better than Shuma, didn't notice her mother's heart.

It would be, so lonely.

This loneliness, which deepened after the death of his mother, was exacerbated by the selfishness of counting horses.The person who created Yukiya who appeared now... who continued to smile even at this time was Susuma himself.

Obviously just cry.Why did I have to be dumped when I had no faults at all.It's enough to twist your cheeks with hatred and yell at it.A mere traitor still dares to talk about being injured, there must be a limit to his thick skin.Switching to counting horses will do the same.

But Xue also... A young man who only knew loneliness and love, smiled and turned into a ghost.Counting horses made him like this.Become a beautiful, gentle, sad ghost.

What I thought of when I saw Xueya for the first time was the lonely and pure white snow field.In the white place where only a few horses are accepted, a red camellia flew down.

The snow-wrapped crystallization now looks like the flower that is about to freeze, Suma quietly picked it up in his heart.In reality, he raised his head and wrapped his hands around Xueye's neck, who was wide-eyed.

If Shinozawa was around, maybe he would blame himself for planning to fly into the prison with no exit on his own initiative.In the case of Zhongshan, he might shrug his shoulders strangely and say that it is so.

——However, Suma will not abandon this man in the frozen world again.If you want him to be alone, it's better to be buried in the snow together.

That was the only way for Susuma, who betrayed Yukiya, to redeem himself. ...wanted to be submerged in this man's obsession, up to the head.

"...Counting horses? Why..."

"I love you"

Beside Xue Ye, who hugged her tightly in confusion, Shuma slowly and uttered the feelings that had just sprouted in her chest.

"Now, I understand. Yuki also...I, love you. It's not because I'm the only one left. It's because you want the worst man like me so much...Because I think, I can't leave you alone ..."

"...Cheat, people"

Plop, the opposite agitation of the suit intensified.

"...Counting horses...Impossible, really love me..."

"...Why, do you think so?"

"Because, I ordered Zhongshan and the others to attack you when you came back from the class reunion. I was also the one who ransacked your room, and there are other things you don't know. I did a lot of things that annoy you, okay?"

But why?Facing the incredible question from the bottom of his heart, Suma couldn't help laughing.

"You, do you want to be hated by me that much?"

"...How is it possible! I want to be liked by you....Isn't it natural to want to be loved by you...but..."

The strength of the hug was strengthened, and the back was creaked.I no longer know who is relying on whom.

"I don't have any merits worthy of being loved by you!... All I have is, this heart. No matter what I do... It doesn't matter if I don't get loved by you, I just want to bind you by my side, only this heart Ugly heart..."

What the hell is this man talking about overcoming difficulties and gaining fame and financial resources as a lawyer at this age.If Utsuki were here, he would doubt whether he was serious.

However, counting horses is known.I know that Snow is also serious. ... Seriously feel that I will never be loved by others.

Therefore, Suma can still remain calm even knowing all the truth.Because I didn't beg for sincerity from the very beginning.I decided that just like my dead mother, as long as I had my body by my side, it was enough.That's why I feel confused because of counting horses and giving their sincerity.

Mentally and physically, people who want to completely rely on the other party, who can't do anything without the other party, should be counting horses, but now their positions are reversed.

A perfect man without flaws, but looks like a young child.Can't leave him alone. ...It doesn't matter even if these hands are stained black by crimes far from justice.

"...What if I say, I want that heart?"

After whispering in her ear, Xue also immediately left her body, staring at the horses with her black eyes.The eyes are full of coercion that does not allow any contradiction and hypocrisy.Anyone who is pierced by such eyes can only tell the truth.

"...Really? Counting horses...Really, do you love me?"

"I've said that from the beginning...don't you believe me?"

However, as long as you look back at Suuma's actions so far, you can't believe it.

The first person to betray was Shu Ma.If you want to regain trust, you can only continue to show sincerity.Suma prepared himself for a long-term battle, and held Xue's trembling hand.

"Then, just confirm until you are satisfied. No matter what you do, I will never leave you again."
