Chapter 45: Gloomy Night (1/2)

After seemingly sleeping for a long time, Masashi slowly opened his eyes, only to see everything was pitch black.

‘Where is this?’ He asked himself. His brain spaced out and can’t remember anything.

Immediately he found himself with his hands handcuffed behind his back. His feet were also cuffed, and finally, his chest tied by a rope fixed to a chair.

‘Am I being robbed or kidnapped?’

Masashi’s eyes began to adapt to the dark environment. He vaguely saw several people sitting next to him. But they were all motionless, and he can only hear their gentle breathing.

“Kazumi, is that you?” He saw a familiar figure.

The other had no reaction whatsoever.

Masashi has no other choice but to resemble a flea to carry the chair, moving it up and down, little by little.

Finally, he jumped to the side of that person. After taking a closer look, that person really is Kazumi, with Rumi sitting next to her. The two people were also tied to a chair. Only their feet, which were not tied.

“Kazumi, Kazumi, Rumi, wake up.” Masashi’s head knocked against Kazumi’s body.

Only after about five minutes trying to wake them up did Kazumi gently let out a cry.

“Kazumi, wake up, don’t sleep. I am your brother.”

“Is it dawn yet?” Kazumi blearily opened her eyes. Her face was blank.

“Dawn your head! Do you think we’re home now? Wake up. We are tied by someone.”

“Oh my, what happen?” Then she noticed her and Masashi tied to a chair condition.

“Don’t ask first, I also just woke up. You quickly rouse Rumi.”

When she called out Rumi, Masashi took a closer look at the several people around them, who turned out to be Shizuko and her friends. He also saw another two people that he never saw before.

All the people, without exception, had been tied up.
