Xi was at a loss; she had exhausted all her options.
A piercing pain shot through her abdomen, as if someone had been pressing on her wound, but at the same time there was a dull ache emanating from within.
As she staggered and fell to the ground, in the last second before losing consciousness, she saw Mianmu Sato supporting himself with his hands on his sword, gritting his teeth as he stood up again.
"No, run!"
Xi cried out weakly.
But she soon lost consciousness.
Do you want to continue?
Tenyu Zanzan turned to look at the standing Namime Satoru.
With difficulty, Namime Satori lifted her eyelids, her forehead covered in cold sweat. Her usual cheerful demeanor was gone, replaced by an expression of extreme anger.
Because the one that was just knocked down was actually the Sleeping Bird.
She should have been performing the purification ritual.
For the first time, Namimei Sato felt anger, but just as she was about to use her last bit of strength to fight the Empress to the death, a voice came from the end of the alley.
"Hey, what are you doing over there?"
Two middle-aged women carrying plastic bags were passing through the alley while buying groceries when they noticed something amiss and asked what was going on with concern.
Seeing that passersby had discovered the situation, Tianyu Zhanzhan frowned unhappily, then turned around and quickly disappeared into another entrance of the alley.
"What happened? Why are these two girls lying on the ground?"
"Blood, it's blood! Call the police right now!"
"That girl was the murderer, wasn't she? She seems to have left."
"We need to check the situation quickly!"
Two kind-hearted women immediately threw the plastic bag into the alley and ran quickly into the alley, while simultaneously calling an ambulance and the police.
...
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the supermarket.
"Wu Qing, do you think this hat looks good?"
Chitanda Eru took the sun hat from the shelf and gently put it on her head. Then, with her hands behind her back, she turned around gracefully and looked at Kiriharu, who was looking at other clothes.
Kiriharu was looking at clothes for Takanashi Touka when she heard Chitanda Eru's question and immediately turned her head to look.
At this moment, Chitanda Eru was wearing a white sun hat with a wide brim, and on top of the hat was a beautiful little purple flower. The combination of pure white and purple made her look truly noble and holy.
Just like Chitanda Eru herself.
"It looks great, it suits you perfectly."
Wu Qing pinched her chin and nodded with admiration in her eyes.
This isn't flattery; it's the absolute truth.
Actually, Chitanda Eru is very beautiful. As long as she doesn't wear particularly strange clothes, she looks good in anything.
Even when she's wearing a penguin mascot costume with her face showing, she still looks incredibly adorable and endearing, making you want to hug her tightly and pamper her.
"Then let's buy this one!"
Chitanda Eru, who had been picking and choosing, immediately decided to buy this sun hat after hearing Kiriharu say it looked good.
Kiriharu also decided to buy a new outfit for Takanashi Touka here.
He had just spotted a black dress that wasn't expensive, but the material was quite good, and Wu Qing thought that Shi Hua would look especially alluring in it.
The thin black gauze gently supported her curvaceous figure, revealing her flawless, model-like body. Beneath the black gauze dress, a pair of shapely, straight, and fair legs were visible.
Tsk, just imagining it makes Wu Qing a little restless.
Unfortunately, he has to work here for another day and can't go back to be with Takanashi Toka right away. He'll just have to be patient for now...
Chitanda Eru paid for the hat, and when she came back, she found that Kiriharu had also bought something and was paying at another shop counter.
"Is this for Rikka? Is it a little too big?"
Curious, she walked over and took a look, wondering why Kiriharu had bought women's clothing that made her much fuller-figured than Takanashi Rikka.
"This is for my landlady. She's Rikka's older sister, and her name is Takanashi Touka," Kiriharu replied, taking the packaged kraft paper bag.
Upon hearing this, Chitanda Eru didn't ask any further questions.
If you have a good enough relationship, it's quite normal to give each other clothes as gifts.
Attracted by the discounted clothes on the first floor, the two went up to the second floor to buy clothes. They did not forget their purpose for coming here. On their way downstairs, they bought drinks. However, just as they were buying drinks, they heard the sound of an ambulance outside the door.
Both were drawn to the sound of the ambulance, but didn't pay much attention, paid the fare, and left the supermarket.
When Kiriharu and Chitanda Eru arrived at the supermarket with drinks, they saw several female nurses carrying a stretcher to the back of an ambulance.
There were also people around who knew something discussing it.
"Oh dear, I was just passing by when I suddenly saw a fight going on in the alley, and two girls were lying in pools of blood."
"Didn't you see the murderer?"
"I saw her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye; I couldn't see her clearly..."
The ambulance started moving quickly.
Kiriharu and Chihiro watched for two seconds, but neither saw who had fallen to the ground nor knew what had happened.
We could only find out from the onlookers.
It seems there were three girls fighting in an alley, and it was quite a brutal fight. Two of the girls were lying on the ground covered in blood, but no one could clearly see what the girl who was the perpetrator looked like...
"That sounds really scary."
Chitanda Eru grabbed Kiriharu's clothes with some fear.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Kiriharu inexplicably thought of Rikka, and subconsciously placed her hand on Chitanda Eru's head, rubbing it back and forth a couple of times.
"It's alright, what are you afraid of with me here? Come on, it's time to go back."
"Ok!"
With Kiriharu's words, Chitanda Eru felt incredibly safe. Luckily, she had brought Kiriharu with her. With Kiriharu by her side, there was really nothing to be afraid of.
As they cycled back, the sun had already set behind the other side of the mountain, and the dim afterglow only provided a little visibility. However, Kiriharu had excellent eyesight, and even though Chitanda Eru had repeatedly worried that Kiriharu riding so fast in such darkness might easily crash into rocks or overturn, she was still able to see clearly.
Wu Qing thought what she said made a lot of sense. Just imagine riding a bike with such a beautiful girl in such a romantic and leisurely environment, and suddenly crashing into a stone block, the bicycle flew up and the 1.6-meter-tall girl fell headfirst into the mud.
Ugh, that's so embarrassing.
But Wu Qing wouldn't let such an embarrassing thing happen.
Although the light was dim, his vision was still clear.
Even if he crashed into the stone pillar, with his reaction speed and strength, catching Chitanda Eru would be a piece of cake. In short, Kirishin had no intention of slowing down.
But Chitanda Eru, who couldn't see clearly in this environment, felt her heart pounding. In her view, she was sitting on a bicycle without headlights, speeding along a country road with poor road conditions in the dark.
Anyone who tries it knows how scary it feels; it's impossible not to be afraid.
Out of fear, Chitanda Eru hugged Kiriharu even tighter than when she came, almost pressing the little rabbit to its limit, making it flat and round against Kiriharu's back.
This indescribable, wonderful sensation also stirred up feelings of longing in Wu Qing.
Tsk, he was already getting impatient imagining Takanashi Touka in her new clothes at the supermarket, and now Chitanda Eru has put that pressure on him.
It's uncontrollable, absolutely uncontrollable!
Chapter 151: What Aoyama Nanami Wants to Do
In the end, Kiriharu held back. He rode his bicycle with Chitanda Eru at breakneck speed, finally arriving at the Chitanda residence just as it was getting completely dark.
As the two rode to the gate of the compound, a girl with a ponytail was sitting on a stone stool by the gate, her hands supporting her chin, looking expressionlessly at the wheat field in the distance.
This girl is none other than Aoyama Nanami.
Kiriharu was riding her bicycle with Chitanda Eru on the back. Because it had just gotten dark and Kiriharu was riding very fast, Chitanda Eru was still a little scared and tightly hugged Kiriharu's waist. Her soft, white body was almost entirely pressed against Kiriharu's back.
But at the same time, she also felt a bit excited, because she wasn't really afraid that Wu Qing would fall, something she had already verified on the way.
Even though Wu Qing rode very fast, she remained very steady. However, despite her stability, the way the bicycle bounced back and forth on the road and made sharp turns still gave her the feeling of riding a roller coaster.
"Slow down, Wu Qing, you scared me to death."
Chitanda Eru hugged Kiriharu's waist and complained softly.
Kiriharu couldn't help but smile. "It's alright, we're home now. It would be troublesome if it got too dark." As he spoke, he stopped the car and held the handlebars steady so that Chitanda Eru could get out.
"That's true, but it's really scary!"
Chitanda Eru complained softly, then revealed her signature fresh and gentle smile, and slowly jumped off the bicycle.
The two then chatted and laughed, appearing unusually warm and loving.
This scene was witnessed by Aoyama Nanami, who was not far away.
"Misty Clearing..."
Her previously expressionless face now showed a hint of sadness, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and she tightly gripped her pants, which she had washed countless times.
Yes, although her family wasn't poor, due to some special reasons, she acted like a poor Cinderella at school.
Compared to Chitanda Eru, who comes from a wealthy and powerful family, she seems to have no competitive advantage at all.
If he didn't quickly and firmly grasp Wu Qing's heart, he would be snatched away by another woman. Aoyama Nanami felt that he had to act quickly!
What couldn't be continued last night.
I absolutely have to... today.
"Have you been waiting for us, Nanami?"
At that moment, Chitanda Eru walked over and looked at Aoyama Nanami with a smile, handing her the cola from the plastic bag.
"Ah? Um..."
Aoyama Nanami quickly smiled, took the cola, and looked up at Chitanda Eru, whose features were exquisitely sculpted. For a moment, she felt as if she were looking at a beautifully crafted game model in real life.
She's such a beautiful person; even I, as a woman, envy her.
