I am BOSS! ～fine～[Tutor KHR]

"Suzuna——!!!"

Before Suzuna could distinguish the wonderful feeling in her heart, a voice that Suzuna should be very familiar with but inevitably mixed with a third of unfamiliar voice sounded behind everyone.

"real,……"

Suzuna suddenly turned her head, and the bonfire immediately lit up the face of the visitor.The person who came, Yamagishi Mayumi, had rushed through the crowd and rushed into Suzuna's arms.

Because of Suzuna's sudden disappearance, Mayumi, who was looking for Suzuna's whereabouts everywhere in Namori Town, happened to see a fire suddenly appearing from Nazhong's side.Following the fire that soared into the sky, Mayumi never expected that she would find Suzuna who hadn't appeared in Namori Town for several days.

"True—"

A transparent warm liquid splashed out, and when Suzuna understood that those were Mayumi's tears, the tearful Mayumi had already crashed into her arms.

"Where did you go?! Why did you disappear suddenly! The discipline committee members didn't tell me anything! The teachers just said that you asked for sick leave!"

The supposedly youthful and invincible girl described herself as haggard, and Mayumi with red eyes spoke quickly and anxiously.Every sentence in her slightly hoarse voice was filled with deep worry.Only Suzuna's Mayumi could be reflected in her eyes, as if she couldn't see the existence of other people.Under the reflection of the fire, the tears on her face were also stained bright red.

Mayumi grabbed her arm so hard that her arm started to ache, but Suzuna stared at Mayumi blankly, unable to utter a word of excuse.

——No matter how good a person is at deceiving, it will be difficult for him to speak his deceitful words in front of someone who really values ​​him.What's more, Suzuna is not the kind of person who is good at weaving lies and using excuses to prevaricate others.

The whole heart trembled little by little.Suzuna thought of many things in that instant.For example, it turns out that there are people who are caring about you where you can't see.For example, there are important existences in my life other than Li Baoen, Tsuna Kichi and others.For example, even though Mayumi once lost her memory of herself, she still became her friend again.For example, this is not the first time that she has disappeared, nor is it the first time that Mayumi has been anxious to find herself.

Everything is like the past again.And before that, I didn't expect what kind of mood Mayumi would take to find herself and ask others about herself.

Suzuna held her breath as the astringent taste rose from the tip of her nose.Because as long as she takes another breath, her weakness and guilt will pour out of her eyes.

"I've been to your house! There's no one in your house! You're not sick at all, are you?! But if you're not sick, what are you—"

"Master Suzuna."

Spedo frowned, and with his right hand across his chest, he had to interrupt Mayumi to remind Suzuna—it was precisely because he was the chief culprit who used Mayumi Yamagishi to hurt Suzuna that he understood Mayumi Yamagishi as Suzuna's weakness , Suzuna's weakness.If Yamagishi Mayumi's memory of Suzuna is not eliminated earlier, Yamagishi Mayumi will be a stumbling block to Suzuna sooner or later.

It was also at this time that Mayumi noticed the man who interrupted her and Tsunayoshi Sawada who also did not show up at school a few days ago.

There seems to be a string in my mind that has been plucked.Mayumi understood one thing almost instinctively: Suzuna's disappearance is inseparable from Sawada Tsunayoshi and others.And this man with a strange haircut in front of him... If he had seen him before, he would never forget that his strange head was so impressive that he couldn't be confused with others.But obviously I can be sure that I haven't seen him before, but I have a wonderful illusion in my heart that I should know him.

The wonderful illusion brought a strong sense of disobedience, which made Mayumi's nerves tense up.

"……sorry."

Suzuna's voice made Mayumi turn her head and look at her again.She lowered her head seriously with red eyes.

"Master Suzuna?!"

Spedo didn't expect that Suzuna completely ignored his signal.Instead, he lowered his head guiltily.

How can this adult bow his head to such a passerby who has no sense of existence? !This was Spedo's first reaction.

Seeing this kind of reaction in his eyes, G sighed forcefully and said: "Hey...haven't you learned your lesson yet? Put away your bad habits quickly. Or do you want to repeat the same mistakes?"

G's words made Spedo's shoulders move.He wanted to refute, but in the end he found that he could refute G's words without even a single word.

yes.If the matter of Elena and Liannan didn't make him understand anything, he, who still can't let go of his prejudice, is not qualified to stand by Suzuna's side to speak for Suzuna—there are not only people and things that he values ​​in this world is precious.People who only stick to their own prejudices can only see a narrow world.Besides, since Suzuna is to be given priority, Suzuna's will must be given top priority.If Suzuna's will is to respect Mayumi Yamagishi, then identifying with Mayumi Yamagishi is something she cannot doubt.

"—Suzuna."

Looking around at the people around him, he saw embarrassment on Tsunayoshi's face, disdain on Gakuji's face, guilt on Yamamoto's face, dodge on Yanzhen's face, and Ed Heidi's disdain. Seeing the indifferent Mayumi on her face, she opened her mouth with a firm expression as if she had made up her mind.

"I know you have something to hide from me."

"Sorry……"

Suzuna lowered her head even more.

"No need to apologize. I know you have your reasons. So I just want to ask you one thing."

Lifting Suzuna's head and letting Suzuna meet her eyes, Mayumi said: "Is this something you can't tell me anyway?... If you answer yes, I promise not to ask you again in the future. What's going on."

"I want to know about Suzuna. Everything, everything. I want to do everything I can for you. Suzuna doesn't want to, and I will never force it. But, Suzuna. I beg you— "

Above the curly and upturned eyelashes are eyes that are so concerned that they seem to be in pain.Staring deeply at Suzuna, Mayumi said softly, "Protect yourself, please? Don't do things that will worry me, please?"

"…………"

Suzuna was speechless for a moment.At this moment, she really didn't know what else she could say to Mayumi.

She wanted to tell Mayumi that she didn't have to care about herself so much, and she didn't have to think about doing something for herself.Because I have no reason to let her do that.But at the same time, Suzuna doesn't need Mayumi to explain why Mayumi cares so much and wants to do something for herself.

(Because I am the same.)

If Yamagishi Mayumi suddenly disappeared, I would definitely look for her like crazy, worrying that she would not be able to eat or sleep.

(because,)

I want to hear the girl in front of me tell all the things she is willing to tell, and I want to do whatever I can for the girl in front of me.Even if he can't do it, he is willing to try things for her that he couldn't do in the past.

(--We are friends.)

(But--)

As if being pierced slowly by an ice edge, Suzuna's heart contracted and felt pain, and at the same time it was getting cold bit by bit.

Telling Mayumi everything means that Mayumi will also be drawn into the world of the mafia.In the world of the mafia, there are not only good people like Tsunayoshi, Yuji, Yamamoto, Liaoping, Hibari, and Dino...

Even someone like Yanzhen who seems cowardly and deceitful, even someone like Mukuro who seems to be only interested in uniforms, even someone who is frivolous and friendly like Bai Lan...every one of these people is like that deadly.As long as they are willing, they can destroy the life in front of them with a snap of their fingers.Not to mention that Yanzhen, Mu and Bailan are not evil.Those who are not evil are so frightening, how heinous should those evil people be?

How much Suzuna hopes to stop hiding from Mayumi, stop lying to her best friend, how much she wants to protect Mayumi from the influence of the mafia world.So she was confused, hesitant, and sad.

Ribaun, who chose Suzuna instead of Mayumi, watched Suzuna, and he waited for Suzuna to make the final decision.He didn't have much opinion on how to deal with Mayumi's affairs.All he is interested in is what choice his youngest disciple will make.

"……I……"

Suzuna opened her mouth, her voice sounded very dry.

She doesn't like this choice.It can even be said that she is suffering because of the choice in front of her - she has already lost her best friend once.After regaining her best friend's friendship, she didn't know if she could let go of her best friend's warm hand for the same reason without any confusion like in the past.

Frankly, it was a disguised form to push Mayumi into a dangerous world, putting Mayumi's life at risk.If you don't confess, it is tantamount to losing your best friend.From now on, Mayumi can no longer enter Suzuna's life, and Suzuna can no longer touch Mayumi's heart.

"—"

A soft sigh came from Spedo's mouth.Everyone was taken aback.Even G and He didn't expect Spedo to sigh like this in front of people.

Immediately afterwards, the people who couldn't react between the lightning and flint watched Spedo appear behind Mayumi in amazement.

"You can't choose. Let me choose for you."

Covering Mayumi's eyes with his white-gloved hands, Spedo said calmly, "Even if you will hate me forever for this."
