"Only by almost losing me will Ichiko cherish me, and hold onto me tightly."
"Just like that time on the rooftop."
Haruko always believed that among the many times she pretended to be a yandere, only the time on the rooftop left the deepest impression on Ichiko.
Since you don't cherish me, don't like me, then I'm leaving~
Haruko drew out another piece of paper and lightly wrote three large characters on it - To Ichiko.
This was a... will!
After making the living room a mess again, Haruko locked Dan in the room.
She walked slowly towards the bathroom alone.
She ran water into the bathtub and slowly lay down in it.
"System, aren't you going to try and dissuade me?"
With everything ready, Haruko asked curiously in her mind.
The System was silent for a long time, then slowly said.
[Host, I am just a System, I cannot become your partner]
[No matter what happens, I will stand by you]
"Thank you."
Haruko lay in the bathtub, slowly closing her crimson vertical pupils.
A bewitching smile curved up at the corners of her lips.
"Then Ichiko, goodnight~"
Sizzle—
The water in the bathtub gradually turned red.
...
Just at this moment, Ichiko, who had arrived at the "Sky Pavilion" hotel with Inari, suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
She quickly turned her head, looking anxiously in the direction of Haruko's residential area.
Inari asked from the side, "What's wrong?"
Ichiko pursed her lips, "Nothing, I just feel a lump in my heart."
She took out her phone and looked at a message from half an hour ago: "Ichiko, when are you coming back?"
At first glance, Ichiko had a vision of the terrifying and chilling scene from the rooftop.
At that time, Haruko also sent a string of such messages.
She was entangled with Sento at the time and hesitated for a long time.
But it almost led to a tragedy.
If Haruko had gathered the courage to jump down at that time, everything might have changed.
Because of this, she had quickly replied half an hour ago.
She would be back in about an hour.
With what happened today, there was no way she wouldn't go back to comfort her.
She should have gone back together with her after leaving the police station, but she didn't expect Murasaki to find her again.
The jade pendant.
Father.
The marriage contract.
And Haruko.
Ichiko felt a lump in her heart.
The only thing she was thankful for was that the message Haruko sent was just a simple inquiry, not like the last time where she kept repeating a phrase like a horror story plot.
Haruko hadn't replied to her response either, she must have fallen asleep, right?
Inari watched Ichiko's expression change from the side and said helplessly, "Since you're worried about her, then finish things up quickly and go back. You just had a fight, are you afraid she'll do something foolish?"
Inari didn't expect Ichiko to nod directly this time, "Do you remember the last time on the rooftop?"
Inari frowned.
Of course he remembered, Haruko had shown tendencies of self-harm before.
Later analysis revealed that people around her had prompted her to be like that.
However, after the psychological analysis report came out, he realized that Haruko herself was not normal. It wouldn't be strange for her to do anything with her mild split personality.
Ichiko looked at Haruko's unreplied message, lost in thought, "It was the same at Sento's banquet last time. Haruko sent me many, many messages. When I got back to school, she was on the rooftop and almost jumped because of me."
Upon hearing this, Inari clicked his tongue, "You're becoming less and less like the Ichiko I know, so indecisive, I don't even know what you're thinking all the time."
With that, he flung his trench coat and was the first to stride into the hotel, his face extremely displeased, "Let's go. I want to see what kind of background that Murasaki has, to even bring out such a marriage contract!"
