Haruka’s brain did not even try to
understand the reality before her eyes.
“Kimino…?”
She put on the usual smile and called to her childhood friend who stood in her
way with arms crossed and a haughtily evil smile on her face.
This girl had been with Yume and Ryou like
a sister since they were little. She was bright and straightforward and she had
never done anything bad in her life. Yet now that childhood friend was acting
like she was the leader of these delinquents who were indisputable human
garbage.
Those men had been spewing filthy language
and committing atrocities as they saw fit, but now they kneeled obediently
behind Kimino.
What had happened to her?
When had she started working with people
like that?
Haruka had not the slightest clue.
The shock had dulled her mind to the point
that the questions just endlessly circled around her head.
Why had Kimino had those men attack Yume?
For what reason had she put Haruka through
this ordeal?
How had she known Haruka was Ichijou Ryou’s
genderbent form?
That had been a secret even from Yume.
Only Haruka’s parents, her aunt and uncle,
the main Ichijou family, and the school headmaster knew.
“You look confused.”
