4-89: A Reunion Neither Recognized (1/4)
Nakamura Shinichi was indeed depressed just as Youko had described.
He knew that it was pointless worrying so much. After all, there was no other way to it, and there was no changing the past either.
But to be able to accept that, to be able to look ahead with optimism and simply be happy That was not something that the man called Nakamura Shinichi could easily accomplish.
Thats why he couldnt help but be depressed.
Nevertheless, he kept moving, perhaps as a form of resistance, or perhaps out of fear that if he stopped, he might stop forever.
So he wandered aimlessly through a city whose name he didnt even know, burdened by all sorts of negative thoughts, from frustration, to regret, to impatience, to powerlessness Even he himself couldnt quite understand anymore why he was doing all of this.
Yet though he walked aimlessly through the streets while haunted by such emotions, and despite how chaotic his state of mind was, his footsteps were firm and resolute.
Be that as it may, there was a distinct lack of people around him, likely because the atmosphere he exuded hinted at his state of mind. A commotion could be heard in the distance, but he was too preoccupied with his own emotions to be bothered.
Perhaps, not even the sounds of the city could enter his ears. His heart was just that heavy. It was as if he was carrying the weight of the whole world on his shoulders, and the dark and oppressive aura he radiated did little to help.
!
How long has it been? Where was he headed to?
Such questions have long left his mind, and despite knowing just how dangerous this was, he just left it all to his subconsciousness, while the same thoughts and worries continued to haunt him.
Where did it all go wrong? What was he to do now? There was no answer. No different answer, at least.
What awaited him at the end was a confrontation with his friend, and the consequences of that friends actions.
Thats why he was depressed.
aid! I Wait!!
But then something strange happened.
And the trajectory hed decided on subconsciously changed. No, someone had changed it.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
He was being dragged by something Being called somewhere.
Was he drawn by some kind of factor? Well, that wasnt that strange of a thing.
It was such a foolish thing to stick his head into an incident when he was like this.
But in order to switch gears, he needed something on that scale.
It was curious if he merely cared little for appearances or was merely slow in that regard, but if a certain maid were to be asked, she would say that he simply did not prioritize it.
For women, who tended to become his targets, it was an inconvenient thing.
Regardless, he had appraised the situation as such, thats why he was confused.
Actually, Shinichi was currently shocked to the point it seemed his heart would leap out of his chest.
Though because of a habit hes long picked up, none of that showed on his face, but that didnt change the fact that he was completely restless deep inside.
After all, this woman was holding his arms.
I hadnt noticed it at all until now.
No matter how abnormal his state of mind might have been, it was impossible for him not to notice that.
This woman had clearly brought him here.
If so, then she had not merely touched him but also dragged him.
There was no way he could have failed to notice that even in this state of mind.
Who are you?
Above all, he truly didnt recognize this person, so without intending to, he ended up speaking to in a flat voice void of all emotions.
To be fair, it did feel like hed seen her somewhere before, but he was just too shaken to remember it properly.
Regardless, it was in a situation like this that he spoke with a tone of rejection.
That was clearly not the sort of attitude someone ought to adopt toward a woman they were meeting for the first time.
Moreover, while he was able to hide how shaken he was, his wariness was written all over his face.
In fact, if not for the fact that his arm had been grabbed without his knowing, he wouldnt have even bothered to ask that.
Were either of his childhood friends here, they would have surely laughed, saying, hes gotten even worse with strangers! Now hes even hostile right on the first meeting!
What!? You dont know who I am!?
But for some reason, the woman he spoke to was even more shocked than him.
Shinichi knew that she was being dead serious, so that bothered him even more, and he frowned.
However, even as he considered that such a reaction was strange, a disturbing sensation in the depths of his chest made his instincts react with hostility. His instincts were telling him that the person before him was an enemy.
