(**Sakura’s POV**)

A few hours before Rin contacted Kaito―

“Excuse me for a bit… I’m going to go pick some flowers.”

“Ah, yes. I’ll wait for you around here then.”

Sakura smiled and nodded to Rin-chan, who shyly said she wanted to go pick flowers.

Sakura thought it was cute to see Rin-chan’s cute embarrassed face, which she rarely got to see.

When Rin-chan was out of sight, Sakura took out her smartphone and looked at the location of Onii-chan and the others.

It seems that Onii-chan and the others have entered the movie theater.

Onii-chan seemed to have wanted to watch that movie with someone else, but I guess she wanted to watch it with Onee-chan.

Onii-chan and Onee-chan used to fight so much, but now they’re getting along so well.

Sakura was very happy to see that.

However, Onii-chan has become even more obsessed with Onee-chan than before.

Before the summer break, Sakura was able to spend time with Onee-chan on the way to school and during lunch.

But now that there is no school, Onee-chan has the whole house to herself.

And even when she came to visit our Grandparents, Rin-chan and Onee-chan took care of Onii-chan, so Sakura wasn’t pampered at all. 

That’s why she’s feeling so lonely…

More than anything, Onii-chan’s feelings seemed to be drifting further and further away from Sakura, which was painful and disgusting.

I didn’t feel this way until recently, so why am I having these bad feelings now?

Is this jealousy…?

Sakura is jealous of Onee-chan and Rin-chan…?

Sakura is becoming a nasty girl…

Sakura has developed feelings for Onee-chan and Rin-chan that she shouldn’t have, and now she hates herself.

This is because she’s no different from the people around her…

“Nya~”

As Sakura was thinking, she heard a cat’s purr coming from nowhere.

No, it didn’t come from nowhere, it seemed to be coming from underneath Sakura’s feet.

“Oh― kitty!”

Sakura looked at her feet and saw a tiny, charming kitten rubbing its cheek against her leg.

Sakura bends down to look at the kitten, and it starts rubbing her hand as well.

It seems to be a very friendly little one, is it a domesticated cat?

But it’s a little dirty, so maybe it’s not a domesticated cat?

“Now, now― What’s the matter?”

The kitten is so cute that Sakura pats it on the head.

“Nya~Nya~”

Then the kitten let Sakura pet her head for a little while, and then left her.

But it kept glancing at Sakura.

“Maybe it’s asking me to follow it?”

“Nya~”

Sakura couldn’t understand what the kitten was saying, and she couldn’t tell the color of the expression on the kitten’s face because it was an animal, but she had a feeling that the kitten was asking her to follow it.

But Sakura had to stay here and wait for Rin-chan.

So, she couldn’t follow the kitten.

“Nya~nya~”

“Ugh…”

But the kitten seemed to really want Sakura to follow her, so she came up to her again and rubbed her cheek.

…It’ll be okay if I go back soon, right?

She couldn’t leave the kitten alone, so she decided to follow it, thinking it would be no problem if she came back soon.

Then, there was a cat with an injured leg, caught in what looked like a trap set by someone.

I think the kitten wanted me to help her, so she called Sakura.

“How awful… are you okay?”

Sakura managed to help the painful cat in front of her.

The trap wasn’t very well made, and she was able to get it off the cat’s leg quickly.

But the cat was dragging one of its legs.

“Nya, nya-nya.”

I wondered if the cat was thanking me.

I have no idea what it’s saying, but I have a feeling it is thanking Sakura.

She wanted to do something about the cat’s injured leg, but with what Sakura had at hand, there was nothing she could do.

Then, the cat and the kitten ran away.

“Bye-bye~!”

Sakura waved to the cats.

If they were able to run, does that mean they’re okay for now?

Then, Sakura should go back to Rin-chan’s place―.

“Hello, little girl. Long time no see.”

“Eh…?”

Sakura was about to go back to Rin-chan’s place when the people who had been messing around with Onii-chan appeared.

“Kiri-chan was right, we just waited and now she’s really alone.”

“You know what? You shouldn’t have to go to the trouble of messing with us when there were two of us, should you?”

These people were looking at Sakura and talking with a big grin on their faces.

And Sakura felt sick at the look on their faces.

She could tell from their expressions that they were trying to do something bad to Sakura’s body.

More than anything― all three of them had a black blur surrounding them.

“―!”

“Oh, wait!

Sensing her danger, Sakura quickly ran away.

And the bad people chased after Sakura.

But since Sakura was always running away, she was always fast, and even if it was a man, he couldn’t catch her.

“W-Why is that little girl so fast!?”

“Or rather, we don’t have the stamina because we usually smoke…”

“Damn―! She was alone, so I let my guard down. I should have restrained her right away.”

I heard the voices of the bad guys, who seemed to think Sakura’s feet were too slow and couldn’t catch her as she ran away.

Hurry up and meet up with Rin-chan― oh, no!

If I go back to Rin-chan like this, they’ll come after her too!

Sakura didn’t want to involve Rin-chan, so she changed her path.

So she changed her path and kept running― but the bad guys didn’t give up on her.

They’ve been chasing after Sakura for a long time.

I-It’s so painful…

Sakura has been running for a long time to get away from those people, but she was nearing her physical limit.

I often run away from them, but it’s only for short distances.

So, just as short distance runners are not good at long distance running, Sakura was not good at long distance running.

Because I’m not strong enough.

Somebody help me…!

Sakura thought she was going to get caught, so she tried to ask for help from the people around her.

However― the people she saw when she tried to ask for help were all black.

In other words, they were bad people.

You can’t… ask for help from bad people…

The people I was running away from were all black.

Sakura’s mind was being driven into a corner because she was being chased, and all the people she tried to ask for help were bad people, which made her feel like crying.

Onii-chan… Onee-chan… help me…!

Unable to ask for help from anyone, Sakura asked Onii-chan and the others for help, even though she knew they weren’t here.

There was no one else she could turn to but Onii-chan and the others.

Part 2

“―I-I’ve finally got you!”

“No, no, let me go!”

After several hours of running away, Sakura ran into the mountains and that was the end of it.

While running away from not only the bad people who were chasing her, but also the bad people who were around, Sakura found herself in the mountains.

By the time she realized that she was running along the road that led to the mountain, the bad people chasing her from behind had already blocked the way, and she had no choice but to go into the mountain.

But that was a mistake.

In the mountains, the ground was warped and muddy, and Sakura could not run as fast as she wanted.

Because of that, she got caught by the bad guys…

“Hee~, it’s so convenient that you ran away to this place on your own. No one comes here, so I can do whatever I want.”

The bad guy, who used to be acquainted with Onii-chan, looked at Sakura as if he was licking her body.

“N-No!”

Sakura flailed, covering her breasts with her free right hand instead of her left.

“Woops, let’s keep it down, shall we?”

Then the man grabbing Sakura’s left hand grabbed her right hand, which was free.

“Don’t be afraid, okay? You’ll be enjoying yourself soon enough.”

“W-What are you going to do…?”

“Who knows?”

The bad guy, who knew Onii-chan, tilted his head at Sakura’s question and pulled out a knife.

Then he started to cut Sakura’s clothes.

“N-No, please stop!”

“Whoa, don’t go too wild or you’ll get yourself cut!”

When Sakura tried to run away from the blade, she was pinned down.

Then, little by little, Sakura’s clothes were being cut off.

“Noooooooo! Stoooooooooooooop!”

“Hahahaha, you have a good cry! Yeah, that’s the kind of cry I like! If I show this to Kanzaki, I can give him despair!”

I noticed that one of the three guys was recording this scene of Sakura and the others on his phone.

It looks like they’re going to make a mess of Sakura and show it to Onii-chan.

“No, don’t, I don’t want to! Onii-chan, help me―!!”

Sakura cried and asked Onii-chan for help.

And then―

“What the f*ck are you guys doing…to my little sister?”

Another man appeared, who was not the same as the bad people who were doing terrible things to Sakura.

That man is holding the arm of the bad guy who is cutting Sakura’s clothes.

And that man― it was a man I was familiar with by now, with his eyes hidden by his bangs.

“Onii-chan!”

Sakura immediately realized who the man was and let out a squeal of relief.

Because Onii-chan had come to her rescue.

But― Sakura couldn’t believe her eyes.

“Eh…? Onii-chan’s blur… is black…?”

I don’t know why, but Sakura’s eyes judged Onii-chan as a “bad person” for coming to Sakura’s rescue―.
