Of course, those are stories for later~
Returning to the present, Eliseo Abe was smashed, along with a tree, by Crazy Diamond's attack, and then restructured together by its ability, turning him into a human-like tree, constantly fluctuating between the boundary of death and survival.
A wisp of black thread that had just floated out of the tree's body was instantly captured by a large, green hand and disappeared.
"I will return, jie jie..." Ho Fei-yu suddenly heard a familiar voice, stopped, and rubbed his ear, but the only sound he heard was the pounding rain.
"Did I jerk off too much recently? That can't be right..." Confused, he knew Ruri-chan had drained him quite a bit in the last few days, but he shouldn't be that weak. Was it a hallucination?
He resumed his steps toward the bus stop; there was still a naive girl there.
Kokoro Aono sat on the bench, staring blankly in the direction where the two had disappeared. She had only planned to check her class assignment at the school she was about to attend today and look for an affordable rental house so she wouldn't have to commute back and forth between the countryside and the city, which would disrupt her studies. She hadn't expected to witness such an incredible event.
'Can a human body really do that?' Kokoro Aono thought to herself, looking at the large area of fallen trees.
'Why did the man who was running toward me suddenly disappear? Was it him?' Kokoro Aono recalled the scene in her memory, feeling more confused.
'Was it him? If it was the chubby man, what should I do? If it was him, then what...'
After waiting for about ten minutes, a figure finally appeared in Kokoro Aono's eyes, but it was too dark to see clearly.
"It's you! Where is the chubby man?" As the figure approached slowly, Kokoro Aono finally recognized the person: it was the boy with the slightly perverted gaze.
"Heh, it's me. What? Is he the one you wanted to see?" Ho Fei-yu naturally sat down next to Kokoro Aono, turning his head to look at the girl coldly.
"No, I... I was just curious..."
"Curiosity can be very dangerous, especially if you know things you shouldn't know~" Ho Fei-yu said, his tone slightly teasing, and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand as he spoke, threatening the girl.
"Ah! Then I won't ask! I don't know anything! Please don't kill me!" Hearing Ho Fei-yu's words, Kokoro Aono looked terrified. She shook her head while inching her butt away, trying to distance herself from Ho Fei-yu.
"I have a habit. As soon as I feel someone is avoiding me, I can't help but want to hit something. What if I can't control the force~" Ho Fei-yu said matter-of-factly, watching Kokoro Aono's reaction.
Hearing this, Kokoro Aono immediately stopped moving, her small face looking anxiously at Ho Fei-yu, afraid that his fist would land on her.
"What's your name? What are you doing here?" Ho Fei-yu was quite satisfied with Kokoro Aono's reaction. Although he already knew the girl's name from the system, he pretended to ask.
"I... My name is Kokoro Aono," the girl replied weakly.
"Today I wanted to go to school to see the class assignments and then rent a house close to the school." Kokoro Aono quickly added when she saw Ho Fei-yu raise an eyebrow.
'Did I meet a classmate?' Ho Fei-yu thought to himself but didn't say anything, otherwise, how could he continue to scare the innocent girl?
"Hmm! Very good! Very honest." Ho Fei-yu nodded in praise of the girl's reply.
"Wha... What about you?"
"I... I won't ask! I don't know anything! I have a bad memory, and I've forgotten what you look like!" Suddenly recalling stories on TV where hostages who saw or knew the criminal's appearance and name were silenced, Kokoro Aono quickly said, closing her eyes, looking like she knew nothing and saw nothing.
Ho Fei-yu looked at Kokoro Aono, amused. For some reason, he just wanted to bully her. It was her own fault for being so naive. He had to teach the girl a lesson.
"Hmm~ It's good that you can't remember, otherwise my hands would have to be stained with..." Ho Fei-yu continued, following the girl's words.
"It's raining so heavily now, and you're soaked. Are you still going to school?" Ho Fei-yu continued. If she didn't go today, she could go tomorrow. He wasn't in a hurry.
"This..." Kokoro Aono hesitated. Just as Ho Fei-yu said, she was soaked, feeling her clothes, skirt, white socks, and shoes sticking to her, which was very uncomfortable. But if she didn't find a house today, she would be rushed tomorrow.
At the same time, the girl was also worried about collateral damage. If Ho Fei-yu found out her school and class, and something bad happened, she would be responsible. Her grandmother's soul wouldn't rest in peace.
"No... I won't go." Finally, Kokoro Aono made up her mind. She couldn't let innocent people get involved because of her.
Ho Fei-yu didn't reply.
The two sat together at the bus stop, the atmosphere strange, listening to the rain.
"Are... Are you not... leaving?" The last bus to the city had just passed. Seeing Ho Fei-yu not getting on, Kokoro Aono couldn't help but ask.
"What about you?" Ho Fei-yu didn't answer but countered with a question.
"Me? I don't know either." The girl shook her head, looking lost. She didn't know what to do next.
"Oh."
A long time passed again.
"The rain is finally getting lighter." Kokoro Aono, feeling on edge next to Ho Fei-yu, couldn't help but speak when she noticed the rain lessening.
"Yeah."
"I want to go... go home..." Kokoro Aono said, as if asking for his permission.
"Go! Your legs are yours. Do you want me to carry you home?"
"Ah! You... You don't mind?" Kokoro Aono asked, confused. Was he going to let her go so easily?
"I don't mind."
"Oh, then I'm leaving..."
"If you're going, go quickly, or else!" Seeing Kokoro Aono dawdling, Ho Fei-yu raised his hand in a hitting motion, threatening her.
"Ah!" After sitting for about three or four hours, and having been threatened by both Ho Fei-yu and Eliseo Abe, the girl's body was already stiff. Now, as she stood up, she was slow to react and lost her balance, falling to one side. Seeing that she was about to hit the bench, Kokoro Aono closed her eyes, bracing for the pain.
The next second, the girl felt herself being held. The expected pain didn't come. She opened her black eyes, and Ho Fei-yu's smiling face came into view. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was a miracle that the boy hadn't killed her; he was actually helping her.
The soft body in his arms, the girl's scent wafted over him. One of Ho Fei-yu's hands encircled the girl's soft waist, and the other held her fair, delicate arm. The two soft areas made his mind wander, but his expression remained cold.
"Aren't you going to get up? Are you trying to feel me up?" Ho Fei-yu spoke first, turning the tables.
"No... No, I'm not! It's just my legs... my legs... they're weak." Kokoro Aono's fair face blushed, and she immediately stammered a denial, struggling in Ho Fei-yu's embrace.
"Oh, then I'll let go."
"Ah!" With that, Ho Fei-yu suddenly let go. Kokoro Aono, who had just stabilized, tumbled back toward Ho Fei-yu, right into his embrace. Her two small hands clutched at Ho Fei-yu's clothes, and her soft chest pressed right against his pillar. The girl gasped in surprise.
"You... You... You..." Although Kokoro Aono was inexperienced, she knew what was pressing against her chest. Her already crimson cheeks flushed even deeper, spreading to her small ears and delicate collarbone.
"You threw yourself at me, didn't you? I didn't initiate it. If anything, I'm the one who's losing out! What are you trying to say!" Ho Fei-yu said calmly. He wouldn't let himself be put in a disadvantageous position. Gender equality, understood!
"You... I... You're arguing!" Kokoro Aono didn't know what to say and could only bite her teeth, her eyes practically watering as she looked at Ho Fei-yu.
"Alright, can you stand up now?" Ho Fei-yu stopped teasing the girl. He helped Kokoro Aono up and asked.
"N-No, my legs are still a bit weak." Kokoro Aono was slightly unnerved by Ho Fei-yu's sudden concern but still replied.
"Get on, let's not waste time."
"What are you trying to do?" The girl asked, confused.
"What do you think! I'll carry you back. I'll take the loss, and you can enjoy the benefit." Ho Fei-yu said flatly.
"You... You want to go back with me?" Kokoro Aono seized on the key point.
"Yeah! What if you run away and report me? Of course, I have to go back with you!" Ho Fei-yu said, as if it were the most natural thing.
"I won't say anything, or... or else I'll..." Kokoro Aono immediately replied, trying to swear to gain Ho Fei-yu's trust, but she couldn't think of what to say.
"Stop with the nonsense! Are you the bandit or am I the bandit!" Ho Fei-yu stared menacingly at Kokoro Aono, motioning for her to shut up.
The girl finally remembered that the boy in front of her was a killer "bad guy" and immediately shut her mouth, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.
"Get on!" Following Ho Fei-yu's dominant command, Kokoro Aono tearfully leaned her body against his back.
"Hold on! Quickly!" Kokoro Aono was still hesitant once on Ho Fei-yu's back, unsure where to put her hands. When Ho Fei-yu spoke again, she finally held tightly onto his neck.
Her heart raced. She had never been this close to a boy, especially a "bandit."
"That's better. Lead the way." Ho Fei-yu lifted Kokoro Aono's delicate body slightly, his hands supporting the girl's buttocks. It was soft. Even through the skirt, he could feel the perfect curve.
"Go up this path, turn right at the corner, and then turn left, and you'll be there." Kokoro Aono felt the large hands on her butt. Although her skirt and panties were wet, she could still feel the warmth. Under the threat of intimidation, she could only bite her teeth and reveal the location of her home. Fortunately, she was the only one within a few hundred meters.
Ho Fei-yu followed Kokoro Aono's directions and indeed saw a small house, but it was dilapidated, with some of the wall plaster already having fallen off.
Moreover, the road was full of mud, washed by the rain, and extremely muddy. He himself was fine, walking as if on level ground, but he wondered how the girl usually endured it.
