"What a cute girl!"
exclaimed Han and Li Yu upon seeing Rei appear, but Shiori had a cold expression.
"Who is this girl?"
she asked, instinctively telling her that she didn't like her very much.
"She... she..." Takumi's forehead was sweating, not from Shiori's impulsiveness, but from fear that Rei would discover him. What did he just say? That he had come to the park with his mother?
"Rei."
Takumi no longer paid attention to Shiori and lowered his head to ask the girl: "Is your mother here too?"
"Yes, my mother is over there." The girl pointed to the side. Less than 20 meters away, Takumi saw the shop owner queuing to buy drinks. She was talking to the boss and hadn't noticed her daughter wandering off.
"Bang!" Takumi stood up. He was very afraid of seeing the shop owner. The distance was so short that they could discover him at any moment if he didn't run, but Rei was pulling his clothes, how could he run?
"Here!"
Takumi was still thinking when suddenly a white hand intervened and placed a cup of milk tea right in front of Rei. The girl was startled by the sudden attack and couldn't help but hold the tea with both hands.
"Thanks, sister..."
Before finishing her words, she saw Shiori quickly taking Takumi away.
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, Shiori!" The two roommates hurriedly gathered their things and followed her. Rei was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly burst into tears: "Mom, Takumi-kun has run away again!"
Her crying startled the shop owner, who was buying milk tea not far away, and she turned her head to look.
"Mirai-sensei!" Next to the owner, several other girls turned their heads at the same time. Among them, Akari, the leader, asked excitedly: "Where is he? Has Mirai-sensei appeared?"
Rei pointed to the fleeing figures. She said: "Other women took Takumi-kun away!"
The shop owner looked up curiously, and several people were getting farther and farther away. There was a boy with a hat among them, but she didn't know if it was Mirai-sensei.
"Rei, are you sure?"
"You're certainly not mistaken!" The one who answered her was not a girl, but Akari. The fan looked at the backs of several figures disappearing in the distance, gritting her teeth and said: "Shiori, the leader is Shiori. Damn it! She really brought Mirai-sensei to the park!"
"Shiori?"
The owner frowned slightly. She knew that name. She was the woman the Older Sisters Alliance hated the most. It was said that she was also the woman closest to Mirai-sensei. She was a member of the alliance and then founded another fan group to fight against the Older Sisters Alliance.
The Guardians, that was the name of that group. The main objective was to protect Mirai-sensei's safety and freedom, but there were rumors that Shiori had formed the Guardians to prevent others from getting close to Mirai-sensei, and that she wanted to occupy that position alone.
"So the rumors are true..." "That girl is very bad!"
Several girls who were queuing got angry and stopped queuing. They ran after them: "Akari, let's go rescue Mirai-sensei!"
Akari took out her phone, dialed the number, and notified the other sisters from the playground to chase her.
"Shiori, you're out of luck... Today we're having a party at the amusement park, let's see how well you run!"
she scoffed. This time, Shiori did fall into a trap. The entire amusement park was filled with fans from the Older Sisters Alliance.
"Rei, Rei!" After Akari finished the call, she discovered that the shop owner and her daughter had disappeared. Where had they gone?
On the other hand, while running, Takumi looked at Shiori with gratitude.
"How did you know I was going to run?" He had never been so grateful to her. If he stayed where he was, he would undoubtedly be caught by mother and daughter.
"What?" Shiori didn't expect Takumi to say something like that. She only ran after finding Akari. Takumi's words confused her a little, but she smiled again after turning her gaze: "Of course I know, I'm the only one in the world who knows you best... Quick, this way!" Suddenly,
seeing some familiar women ahead, Shiori pulled Takumi to turn around and run.
"What's wrong?"
Takumi asked in astonishment. Hadn't they gone too far?
"You're in danger, a lot of people are chasing you!" Shiori said. While running, she looked back and discovered that her two roommates had disappeared. However, Shiori breathed a sigh of relief. Without the two burdens, they were less likely to be discovered.
"A lot of people are chasing me?" Takumi asked in surprise. Why was the shop owner so capable? "Are you worrying too much?"
As soon as he lowered his voice, the amusement park's broadcast suddenly sounded.
"...Missing person report, missing person report...".
A female voice came from the broadcast: "A woman took a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He was wearing a white hat and... If anyone finds them, please prevent them from leaving immediately and notify the broadcast room. His sister and younger sister are waiting for news in the broadcast room."
Upon hearing this, Takumi instantly surpassed Shiori and ran faster than her.
"Let's go!"
. The person on the broadcast was dressed exactly like Takumi. Takumi dared to swear that the people in the broadcast room were definitely mother and daughter. I really don't want to contact them!
Missing person report...
When Shiori heard the broadcast, she misinterpreted it as a conspiracy by Akari: "Even this kind of media can be used!"
"Takumi, the situation isn't good now." Shiori sped up and ran beside him: "You're dressed too obviously, let's change your shirt!"
She was wearing a neutral-colored short-sleeved shirt, and it wouldn't have any effect if she crossed paths with Takumi, but Takumi disagreed.
"Are you crazy? Where's a place for us to change...? Hey, is that Alice?" He was stunned. There was a familiar figure in the crowd. She was blonde, carrying a shoulder bag, and walking with a man.
"It really is her!" Shiori's eyes lit up: "Is that Alice's husband? Forget it, Alice must know the way... We're safe!"
She pulled Takumi and ran towards him, and passersby who saw them started to make a commotion.
"Hey, young man, the broadcast just now...".
"It wasn't me!" Takumi shouted, and then ran in front of Alice. The editor's eyes widened in surprise: "Takumi? And Shiori, what are you doing...? Oh, the broadcast just now!"
She realized that Takumi's outfit was the same as what was said on the broadcast and immediately understood that he was in trouble.
"Come on, follow me."
Alice took Takumi's hand and left. More and more people saw him. Before the crowd gathered, Alice led them out. However, even so, the commotion attracted many to follow them.
"Oh no, run!"
Shiori saw some girls with sparkling eyes. They were members of the Older Sisters Alliance. She called them to run.
The three ran fast. Takumi's treadmill endurance paid off. After running for a few minutes, he had slight sweat stains on his face. Shiori, of course, had a problem with Alice. She was breathless after running for a while.
"You can hide there!"
Shiori led them to temporarily hide in a blind spot. Taking advantage of the brief hiding place, Alice squatted on the ground to guide the two people who had never been to the amusement park.
"There's a haunted house over there. There's a small path next to it. I'll take you around there later. There's a wall there... Shiori, will you be okay?"
Alice finished drawing the map and looked at Shiori.
"No problem!" She nodded. It was just climbing the wall. It was simple. "It's a straight line from here to there. Alice, you don't have to come. Takumi and I will run alone."
"No, I want to follow you!"
"Don't worry," Takumi said. He was worried that Alice's sudden departure would cause dissatisfaction in her husband. "We just ran out. You should go back and explain to your husband..."
"He's not my husband!"
Alice instantly stood up.
Takumi was stunned, and Shiori was too.
"No... I'm sorry..." Alice's face paled and she shook her head: "Can you pretend you didn't see that?"
"Oh, okay..."
The three heard footsteps approaching again, and they couldn't hold on any longer.
"Sigh..." However, just as she was about to start, Alice stopped. Takumi looked down at her feet again. She was wearing high heels and had obvious red marks on her feet after running such a long distance.
"Do you want me to carry you and run?" Shiori asked.
