Lead the other world.

The 17-year-old Kiryu Takumi Takumi, a two-year high school student, lives with his sister Kiryu, Kiryu, a citrus vegetable, Kana, aged fifteen. The mother died as soon as her sister was born, and her father went missing two years ago at work.

Then Takumi lives with her sister using the money she earned part-time with her own tuition, living expenses, etc., and the money she had left at home.

And two years have passed, and the two are just finally getting used to this life.

Whoa, whoa.

Kahkar......

The sound of two crows echoes into the sky at dusk.

There's a pair of men and women who talk "Nana Diamond" in harmony in the street under the wire with two crows clumped together making such a noise. The man has a small supermarket bag and the woman has her own handbag.

"Hey, brother, glad your cabbage is cheaper today!

"Oh, right. Thanks for saving me this month because my food bill was pretty tight."

Walnuts walking a short time ago looked back and laughed, and Takumi also smiled and responded.

It was a holiday, Takumi and Citrus went together to buy dinner ingredients at the supermarket, and just after arriving at the supermarket, a discount seal was affixed to the vegetables, so two croquettes were obtained cheaply.

Thus, for dinner today, one croquette of vegetables is fried with vegetables and miso soup. It may still seem like it's not enough for the two high school students, but for both of them, today's menu is fully satisfactory.

And now I'm on my way home from shopping at the supermarket. The two of them are walking in chatter about their plans for tomorrow and what was at school.

Eventually, when the topic broke off, the citrus unexpectedly looked up at the sky at dusk and groaned pompously.

"It's been... two years..."

It's just two years today.

It had been two years since Takumi and the others found out that Kiryu Maple had gone missing at work.

Takumi responded with apologies, looking sideways at the citrus vegetables that smudged and murmured while clouding her expression.

"Oh yeah...... I'm always sorry, citrus. I put up with a lot of things. It would be a little easier if I graduated and got a job."

The citrus sees Takumi, who talks to himself in a mockery, waved in haste.

"Oh well, nothing to be unhappy with! I'm always grateful to your brother."

"Oh well... I hope so."

"Besides, if you're gonna say that, your brother's just more patient. I wish you enjoyed your high school life more..."

Takumi was neat for a moment on the citrus words that clouded her slightly overturned expression, but Takumi smiled small and returned the words.

"I'm just happy to see the citrus fruit cheerful and laughing. And don't worry about it. I'm enjoying my high school life."

It was the heart of Takumi. The happiness of her only flesh parent and close sister from an early age was above all a joy for Takumi.

In terms of study, he has excellent grades and enjoys high school life, not least because of Takumi's good character or because he doesn't have many friends.

Citrus unexpectedly turned away and slightly blushed her cheeks at the words Takumi utterly embarrassed with a small laugh.

"Ugh...... Why are you so embarrassed?"

"Huh...? Did I say anything embarrassing?

Two routines as usual. My parents are gone, we share sad and happy things together, and we have worked together so far to finally have a smile from our hearts together.

A routine that lasts forever, that I want to last forever, that I was finally able to feel happy about.

That was the time.

When the two started crossing a small bridge about two cars wide with rivers flowing downstairs, Takumi noticed one man standing out on the way to the bridge.

He's wearing a black hood deep and his expression doesn't look good, but the guy whispers something.

(What the hell is that guy? That's creepy...)

A creepy thought, Takumi took turns with the citrus and urged him to walk along the edge of the bridge trying to keep the citrus away from the man in the hood.

Not recognizing a particularly creepy man, the citrus moved with a suspicious look on his face.

"Hmm? What's going on?

"Fine, fine."

And Takumi starts crossing the bridge by making sure she enters between the man in the hood and the citrus vegetables.

Eventually, two people, a citrus fruit that kept ridiculing and Takumi laughing at the citrus fruit while paying attention to the man, slipped next to the man.

Takumi opens her eyes.

(Huh!!)

Killer. I feel it for the first time, but I have goosebumps on my back on purpose.

Takumi, who remembered the strange feeling as if time had stopped but had paid some attention before crossing the bridge, turns instantly to shelter the citrus vegetables.

"Ah."

Eyes on each other. With eyes full of congestion and madness.

And a man in the hood with a knife, not knowing where he got it out of, was already approaching Takumi's eyes.

"Huh!? You!?"

Takumi opened her eyes and was surprised, but her anterior motor vision and reflex nerves led to a man in the hood grabbing and flushing his wrist with a knife.

"Ha, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll smash everything!!

And the citrus fruit, which I noticed the man in the hood clutching the knife and staring at this one with his blood eye, made my legs tremble with fear and panic.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!?

Earlier, Takumi managed to cope by detecting as soon as possible that the man had begun to move, but now Takumi is not the only one.

Some citrus fruit.

Is this guy insane? You're totally stabbing me right now!? We need to let the citrus vegetables alone get away quickly...)

But as Takumi managed to move out to draw the man's attention, the man now swung his knife vigorously to pierce against the citrus vegetables that were right next to Takumi.

But citrus vegetables could not move off the spot because of fear and panic.

"I'm not kidding, you!

Takumi, whose head turned bright with anger when he saw how it was, hit the man with all his might who had a knife on the citrus fruit, and the man in the hood blew up behind him.

"Ugh!?

And the man in the hood, knocked down so that he could slap him from his back to the ground, screamed small.

Takumi, who returned to me with the scream of the man in the hood, gasped in his heart for a moment as he broke his attitude around his body.

(Alright! Inner now!!)

Takumi felt such intense pain on her right shoulder that she had never tasted it before when she laid one knee and one hand with the momentum she had hit. When I looked at my right shoulder in awe, there was a deep knife poking through it.

The overflowing blood stains Takumi's empty shirt and stains bright red.

Takumi, who realizes that a blade is piercing her body, crooks her expression and accidentally squatts on the spot.

"Ahhh... ahhh!?

Takumi screamed, unanswered by the fierce pain she felt for the first time and the fact that she had a knife stabbed in her shoulder.

"Brother, brother!? Oh, or on my shoulder... a knife on my shoulder, a stab..."

Seeing such Takumi, the citrus vegetables sat back with a bright blue expression, shaking their bodies crying and raising their sad voices.

Within doing so, a large amount of blood flows from Takumi's shoulder, where a knife swung by a man profoundly pierces him, gradually seeping into Takumi's clothes.

(Not like this... no)

Takumi told Citrus to scream as he stood up, eating up his teeth, as his vision glistened with pain in his shoulders, but he saw a man about to rise at the edge of his vision.

"Citrus! Run!"

"Oh... so, because... yes, I don't... What about your brother...? Hey...... what about your brother?

Ask Takumi yes as the citrus vegetables cry in a trembling voice.

But before Takumi answered, a blood-running eye-hood man fluttered, but stood up and hit Takumi with his bare hands.

Takumi couldn't react to the man's fist at all because of his gaze of vision, and he was beaten to death.

"Ha!?

"Kill me. I'm not dying. Yes!!

Takumi, who was beaten and disfigured, can't even take a passive position, knocking her body to the ground and her breath gets stuck.

"Ah, ah... ah"

But Takumi manages to stop his consciousness even though he remembers the feeling of turning when his vision wanders, and slowly rises up as he communicates his arms from his shoulders and drips blood on the ground.

I had to get up. To not lose citrus vegetables.

(Losing someone you care about more! I'll stop him even if I'm mean!)

"Whoa, whoa!

To inspire himself, the roaring Takumi withstood the pain but stared at the man with a murderous eye, hitting the man with a groan.

Then every man in the hood hits something, and Takumi's foot leaves the ground.

(That?)

Suddenly floating. And the world flips.

In a flash of events, Takumi didn't know what had happened to her.

And I finally understood my situation when the river flowing under the bridge looked about a few meters below me. We both fell off the bridge after so much momentum around Takumi's body.

The last thing I heard before Takumi's consciousness was interrupted was a citrus scream that echoed from above.
