Extra Chapter 314.10 Ijuin Ayano is always vigilant

10 minutes later, we were on the resting platform in the theater foyer.

In the narrow gap between the two vending machines, Ijuin Ayano huddled up tightly with her head in her hands, hiding inside. Her body continued to tremble visibly to the naked eye, and twitched suddenly from time to time.

Outside the gap, Tamaki Yumiko tried her best to smile and persuaded again: "Aya, Ayano-chan... that place is so dirty, come out... come out and rest on the sofa?"

Ayano didn't even raise her face, she just shook her head tightly and buried it as hard as she could.

It is as if the instinct of a frightened little animal is to regard any small place as a safe harbor.

Seeing Ayano like this, Tamaki Yumiko felt very guilty...

A few minutes ago, in the stairwell, Ayano screamed immediately after being patted on the shoulder by her, rushed out of the stairwell desperately, ran around like a headless fly, and finally got into this dirty and narrow place. .

Tamaki Yumiko also came to her senses and hurriedly followed.But even after a few minutes of persuading her with various words, Ayano still refused to come out.

Tamaki Yumiko stopped, her gaze resting on Ayano's clothes.

This gap is actually not only narrow, but also dirty.In the corner, on the ground, there are traces of sticky drinks with a high sugar content that have been spilled. They mix with dust and soil to form a black paste that is smeared on the ground.

Ayano directly sat on it.The sticky dirt blackened the edges of her delicate petticoat, and some even stuck directly to the hair on her thighs.

But this demanding upper-class lady, who usually pursues refinement and elegance, no longer cares about being "dirty" at this time.

Her only thought seemed to be to shrink deeper into the corner, deeper...

Tamaki Yumiko once again felt how frightened Ayano was.So she clasped her hands together again and apologized sincerely: "...I'm sorry, Ayano-chan."

Let’s think about it from Ayano-chan’s perspective:

——An empty room, a gloomy corridor.

——The only companion walked forward regardless of his own request, and his figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs ahead.

——Full of fear and expectation, he stared at the place where she disappeared, but he couldn't see her reappearing or returning.

——But at this moment, a hand suddenly came from behind.

Even Tamaki Yumiko herself shivered involuntarily.

That is to say, she was too immersed in thinking about a certain issue at that time.Once she came back to her senses, Yumiko Tamaki immediately understood how much she had done to Ayano-chan unintentionally.

After all, the psychological pressure that little Ayano felt in this place that looked like a scene from a horror movie... she herself had already experienced it.

Therefore, she will naturally not forget - will not forget her original feeling of deep fear, just like Ayano at this time.She herself wasn't much better than Ayano at that time, and she didn't completely collapse only because——

Tamaki Yumiko reflexively forced herself to stop thinking and hugged her head. She thought the headache was coming again.

...but this time, no.

Instead, Yumiko Tamaki fell into a trance for a moment.

Holding her forehead and gently shaking her head, Tamaki Yumiko forced herself to dispel the confusion and focus on the current matter.

At this time, she was inspired and came up with a way.

In the current situation, comfort that is indifferent may be counterproductive, making Ayano unable to get rid of her random thoughts.At this time, it is better to find a way to divert Ayano's attention.

... Suitable topics are readily available.

She cleared her throat: "Ayano--don't be afraid."

"Don't worry, because I am familiar with this place."

"This place is not a different space, and there are no ghosts. There will be nothing coming out to eat us." Even so, Tamaki Yumiko still turned her head and glanced at the stairwell cautiously.

In fact, she was also a little worried... Will a certain priest with an ordinary face suddenly appear next moment?

Forcing herself to calm down, Tamaki Yumiko continued: "——Because this is the first floor of the theater with endless stairwells..."

"This is where I will transform into a witch." As she said this, countless memories flashed through her mind. Yumiko Tamaki forgot her fear for a moment, and just sighed involuntarily, "... My 'stage'."

After a moment of silence, and after the mixed emotions in her heart dissipated, Yumiko Tamaki tried her best to cheer up her mood, and raised her voice and said, "Well... Otherwise, let me tell Ayano-chan what happened to me at that time."

"...Do you want to listen?" She said, tilting her head and observing Ayano.

The girl still buried her head in her knees and arms, refusing to lift her head up... But it seemed that the trembling had stopped and her ears perked up...?
It works!

Tamaki Yumiko felt inspired.

"Ah, let me pretend that Ayano wants to hear it." She said intentionally, "Anyway, Ayano can interrupt me at any time if she gets bored."

"Then I - let's start." Tamaki Yumiko cleared her throat and began to tell, "-The beginning of the story is another story. It's called the 'Tower of Babel'."

Then, she began to mix her own affairs with the story of "Tower of Babel" and tell it to Ayano.

In mythology, a long time ago, people on the land of Shinar built a tower to reach heaven in order to go to heaven, but found that at the end of the sky was a stone dome called the "heaven cellar", which blocked the way to heaven. path.Therefore, from the perspective of the protagonist of the story, a quarryer, he and his colleagues were transported by lathes in a relay to the top of the tower to carry out the task of digging out the "heaven cellar" and opening the passage.

But in modern times, an ordinary girl in Tokyo dreamed of this story, and then was involved in a series of wonderful and extraordinary events, and also entered a mysterious "Tower of Babel" that belonged only to her.

Yumiko Tamaki spoke slowly.

And before she knew it, Ayano had raised her head.

She looked at Tamaki Yumiko, listening with interest and concentration.

In particular, she paid the most attention to the scenery on the tower described by Tamaki Yumiko.In the section with pumpkin fields and lavender fields in the sky, the girl's expression is the most focused and lost.

Yumiko’s story is not a long one.

Finally, she said: "Okay, Ayano... let's tell the endings of both stories in one breath." "In the 'story', the ending is 'I' swimming through the water poured from the cellar of heaven with difficulty. After the flood, I finally surfaced...and what I saw was the Tower of Babel standing on the horizon in the distance."

"That is to say, the cellar of heaven goes up...not to heaven, but back to the underground of Shinar."

"And in 'reality', I -" Tamaki Yumiko was silent for a moment, skipping most of the details, and directly gave the ending, "I was also at the top of the tower, losing my human identity and transforming into a 'witch'. "

Ijuin Ayano has long forgotten her fear.

And in the middle of the story, Tamaki Yumiko has already been tempted to let Ayano crawl out of the gap, and sit with her on the rest sofa in front of the vending machine.

At this time, when Yumiko was finishing the story, Ayano just frowned and stared at Tamaki Yumiko with all her attention.

"Who is that person?" Then she asked.

Tamaki Yumiko was a little surprised that the first question Ayano asked was this.

However, it is somewhat difficult to explain the "gardener" thing.So she hesitated and said, "Well, that priest——"

"No, I mean the other person. The person who climbed the tower with Yumiko and protected Yumiko from the beginning." Ijuin Ayano continued to stare at her with burning eyes.

Tamaki Yumiko opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

In the process of telling the story just now, Tamaki Yumiko had gradually realized it.

She was not alone when climbing the tower.

Just as Ayano said, there is another person accompanying her and protecting her.The interaction between Yumiko and that person was also the source of the sense of déjà vu between Yumiko and Ayano just now.

——But the problem is, Yumiko can't remember.

She couldn't remember what that person looked like.

Therefore, although Yumiko Tamaki did not deliberately conceal anything in her previous narration, she just instinctively blurred everything about "that person".

When this question was asked at this time, Yumiko herself could not answer it.So she looked away helplessly.

Ayano continued to stare at her, and began to feel some vague hostility. .

"Gray-sama." Ijuin Ayano said in an extremely affirmative and aggressive tone, "Is the person with you Gray-sama?"

Tamaki Yumiko was stunned, and then realized that Ayano had misunderstood.

She hurriedly waved her hands and explained hurriedly: "No, no, it's not!"

"Didn't I tell you, that was before I transferred to Serenity Hall. That person was also my classmate in that school at that time."

"I don't believe it." Ayano continued to stare at her, "Tell me the name of that person and I will check it myself."

Tamaki Yumiko was speechless for a moment.

Then, something clicked in my heart.

After hearing Ayano's words, she naturally and instinctively recalled that person's name.She actually thought that she couldn't remember it, just like she couldn't remember the appearance of that person... But, she actually remembered a word.

--"Ash".

There is a word "grey" in that person's name.

Is it really related to Ayano's "Gray-sama"?

Yumiko Tamaki calmed down her emotions.

"I've never seen Miss Orihara before." She thought about the doll's appearance and affirmed, "Never."

But her fluctuating appearance has long been seen by Ayano.

"Liar." Ayano's face was gloomy.

"Just now in the Rose Pavilion...it was obviously you who dragged me away. Why did you do that? Can you explain clearly?"

Tamaki Yumiko's smile suddenly froze.

She avoided the question, and then tried to explain from another angle: "Ijuin-san, you have to be reasonable. First of all, the person I am talking about is a male. In terms of gender, he is already the same as Orihara-san——"

——Then she stopped suddenly.

Tamaki Yumiko didn't know what she said wrong, but she confirmed that the moment she said these words, the atmosphere between her and Ayano suddenly became fierce and dangerous.

As if a flood peak suddenly arrived, Ijuin Ayano's expression became extremely cold and unfamiliar.

She stood up and slowly backed away from Tamaki Yumiko.

"Ayano-chan——" Tamaki Yumiko stood up instinctively and approached the other party.

But Ijuin Ayano immediately shouted: "Don't come over!"

Yumiko Tamaki froze in place.

Ijuin Ayano, on the other hand, continued to retreat with disgust on her face.

Finally, when she reached the edge of the platform, Ayano's retreating steps stopped.

"Yumiko, you are really disgusting. You are obviously an enemy, but you always pretend to be a good person... I almost got deceived by you." She finally stared at Tamaki Yumiko warily and said seriously, "Don't come here. I hate you. .”

After leaving these words, Ayano turned around without hesitation and ran towards the door in the distance.
