Part 3

I ended up wasting a lot of time

I had visited various places related to child abuse control, but not a single one paid attention tofourteen-year old child and all I kneas Yuuka’s name

Humans can’t save other humans–––And I couldn’t save other humans

All I could do was destroy them

Even if I were to threaten her parents, or even kill the a ht had already fallen and artificial lights lit up throughout the city, as if trying to overpower the light of thethat this was human territory

People exposed the noisily between them without a concern

Drunk business andfrom cram school

Waves of people flowed into the train station, and others canized a familiar face

The perfect student who used to be–––in past tense–––good friends with Budworured that he was probably co on his shoulder

His face looked extrehtly sunken

He was clearly trau mood, so I walked around and sneaked up behind hi his shoulder

“Hiieeeeeee–––!”

He screa down

“There was so a bit, I pictured the one-eyed girl inup the notebooks that had fallen out of his bag, while he just stared atno h they were his books

Did he perhaps dislocate his hip?

Once I had picked up all the notebooks, I stacked them up and held the at me

I forcefully pushed the the aardly like a broken robot all the while

“W-what do you…need?”

His face was filled with terror, like a little ani to hide his shi+vering For some reason, he reminded me of my step-father

“Just what I said earlier, to ask you so”

“Okay I’ll answer, I promise I’ll answer, so please spare”

I sighed and pushedto even start a conversation with hiht on that I was talking about Budworo as mad as she did?”

As soon as he noticed that I wasn’t directly targeting him, he became visibly relieved

“I’m not aware of the details” However, his mind was still filled with fear and his voice was low

“W-when Natsume-san disappeared…s-she became really silent, didn’t say much for…some time Then o-one day, she said she met a s-sorcerer…i-it was probably…since that time…”

I patiently waited for his broken sentences to end, after which I nodded once

“Do you know anything about that sorcerer?”

Still treht…” I placed ht “Then tell her that I said to meet tomorrow at school”

That was all I had to say, so I turned around without waiting for a response and swiftly took one step to the side

Ih where I had been standing, it was a razor knife

Turning around, I hit his face withback, only for hiain with his left hand–––the only one he could use––– and stand up, shaking in fear

His well shaped face was contorted with impatience and looked alet killed, no ht as well…SO I MIGHT AS WELL–––!!”

He had been engulfed by despair, his loud shout drawing attention to us

I crossed my arms and knitted my brows

Mixed into the crowd chatter that frequented train stations, so on there? A fight?”

“Should we call the police?”

“Woah there, are you taking pics of this?”

“How scary, he has a knife”

“Just look at that guy’s face, do you think that’s a delinquent?”

“Hey, let’s get away froot involved”

The perfect student paid no attention to the rando his knife

His movee his attacks even with ot old too quickly

So I grabbed the incohtest that my hand was unprotected

A small cut appeared on h, it wouldn’t become any worse

“Ahh…aahhh…AAHHHHHH!”

He screamed hysterically and yanked it with his arle e, what are you thinking by reacting like this?”

I twisted my hand and broke the blade off from the knife handle with a metallic clank and kicked his foot

He fell for the third tiet back up

I lifted a heel to his left shoulder and stepped on it, crushi+ng it

I ignored his screams and the shrieks of the crowd that aps in the throng, leaving that place

shi+ro had done nothing to help me

He had been absorbed in himself the entire time

It was obvious that no matter what anyone said, it wouldn’t reach his ears
