Chapter 25
He strolled over to her side and paused.
She seemed oblivious to his approach, still sound asleep. The light filtered through her long eyelashes, casting a thick shadow across her cheek.
The close proximity made his heart skip a beat, though he preferred to call it regeneration-induced arrhythmia. He
was clearly an ordinary human, but when close, his body reflexively engaged in strange reactions:
the irresistible urge to touch her, to hug her, even to kiss her.
His attachment to Naoko filled him, his every inch of him involuntarily savoring the exquisite pleasure of her contact. His mouth watered, his nose clamoring to bury itself in her neck and embrace her.
The warmth of her skin, the way she embraced him, the rhythm of her heartbeat—even without him having to think about it—filled his mind with memories.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, the fact was this: Tomie Amamiya loved Naoko Kawase so deeply that it had become an instinct for every Amamiya.
He wanted to kill this "rat."
The memory of kissing Naoko rained down on him like rain, sticky, wet, and lingering.
He instinctively gagged, wanting to pull away, but he couldn't help but stay close, unable to escape.
When he came to his senses, his hand had already gently rested on her neck.
Whether he intended to kill her or caress her, he couldn't tell.
The neck beneath his fingers was slender and fragile; a slight pressure would have killed her silently.
...What a disgrace to "Amamiya Tomie."
To develop feelings for such an ordinary person, were they mad?
...And to have caused him such a terrible situation.
The burning heat penetrated his skin, transferred to his fingertips, and he shuddered subconsciously.
—·—
"I'm so sleepy... Amamiya-kun, is it dark yet?" Naoko slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes drowsily. Amamiya
stood beside her, staring at her with downcast eyes, but his face was half-hidden in the darkness, making his expression difficult to discern.
Seeing that he didn't answer, she asked again: "Did you just wake up too?"
...
After waiting for a while, he continued her words coldly, just like usual: "Do you think I am you? Get up quickly, we should go home."
She just stood up, and was frozen by the tingling pain in her neck: "...Wait, my neck seems to hurt."
"Oh," he raised his hand and pinched it gently for her, "Maybe you have a stiff neck because you sleep too badly."
"It shouldn't be...that serious?" Seeing the dark sky outside the window, she collapsed and shouted, "It's over, it's so late, Mom must be very angry... Have I slept for a long time? Where are Matsuki-san and the others?"
Hearing the name, his voice became colder: "Oh. I'm not sure, maybe they are dead."
After all, if you dare to attack "Amamiya Tomie", death is a natural thing.
She was used to this guy's sharp tongue: "You should be more polite. It's getting late, we should go home early."
But Amemiya didn't move, he was two steps behind her, looking down at her.
She thought he was in a bad mood again, so she turned around and asked: "What's wrong, Amemiya-kun?"
She was standing not far from the door, the light of the colored lights shining on her face, making her eyes round and bright.
Stupid again.
Not sure what was going on in her mind, she reluctantly stretched out a hand to him: "Do you want to hold hands?"
Did she take him for a child?
Did Amemiya like this kind of talk before?
Boring.
He coldly slapped the hand away, snorted disdainfully, and walked past her with his hands in his pockets.
"Don't you want to? Did I make you angry again?"
Wow, his aura suddenly became so annoying.
Seeing him about to leave, she quickly called him back.
"Hey, Amemiya-kun, wait a minute." She looked down at the black cat circling her feet. "There's a cat."
It was a black cat with green eyes and white gloves. Seeing her looking at it, it rubbed its head against her trouser leg in a flattering manner.
Few people could resist such a cute creature, and Naoko was no exception. She quickly squatted down, picked it up, and rubbed it lovingly.
Amemiya stood four or five meters away, taking in the black cat's appearance, and subconsciously frowned.
"Don't touch these disgusting stray cats, or they'll bite you." With that, he took two steps forward and tossed the cat out of her arms.
Naoko didn't even have time to react to the smooth movement.
What a tasteless guy.
Seeing that it was not seriously injured, she criticized it coldly: "Hey, don't go too far. What you're doing is called cat abuse, don't you know?"
He snorted indifferently.
"I was just about to ask, Amamiya-kun, why do you smell like garbage?" She walked closer, tiptoed to the side of his neck and sniffed.
Amamiya immediately took two steps back as if facing a formidable enemy, and the muscles on his face twitched twice: "Hey, don't come so close without talking to yourself."
"Even if you fell into the trash can, I wouldn't laugh at you for it, Amamiya-kun. Because I'm not as vulgar as you." She imitated his behavior and snorted.
"..." As if she'd hit the nail on the head, Amemiya was silent for a moment. "Do you always talk so much? You're so long-winded."
"You're obviously more long-winded than me, okay? I don't really want to talk to you. I'm going to take Bubble home."
Upon hearing this, Amemiya's expression darkened. His cold eyes fixed on the black cat, hesitant to speak.
"Ha, don't just give it a name, okay? Throw it away right now, it's such a filthy thing."
She coldly refused, "No. I'm going to keep it."
He crossed his arms effortlessly and asked, "Oh? Really? Then how are you going to tell your mother about this?"
Naoko's voice died down.
Because Ms. Kawase Misato didn't like this evil furry creature.
By "keeping it," she meant, of course, fostering it at the Amemiya household.
"Besides, there's a tag around its neck, so it must have an owner. Leave it here right now." "
You knew it was a house cat, but you scared me by saying it was a stray..." She complained, turning over the cat tag around its neck. "Song... Songmu, huh? Could this be Songmu-san's cat?"
Actually, the cat did look familiar. If she remembered correctly, she had seen its photo on Songmu-san's social media account.
In fact, when Songmu took the initiative to show her goodwill, she was so excited that she checked all her social media apps overnight, hoping to find a way to make friends. Of course, she had seen this cat that appeared so frequently.
According to Songmu himself, the black cat was very gentle and would never lose his temper with anyone.
But then she thought about how it'd breathed at Amemiya earlier...
But as a parent, it's normal to have some kind of filter for your own children, right?
Amemiya was rather cold. He reached out again, lifted the cat from her arms, and threw it to the ground: "Who cares whose cat it is? If it has an owner, just stay away from it."
This behavior clearly annoyed the cat. It raised its fur and growled at him, even pretending to bite him.
How strange.
Normally, small animals cling to Amemiya-kun.
"No. It's so late, Songmu-san must have gone home long ago. Shouldn't we take it with us? Just for one night, and return it to Songmu-san tomorrow, okay? I promise. I'll talk this over with Songmu-san."
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and looked at him pitifully.
"Ha," he seemed about to say something sarcastic, but when he lowered his eyes to see her pitiful face, he paused and snorted coldly, "Whatever you want."
This meant he agreed.
Overjoyed, Naoko quickly scooped the cat up and held it tightly in her arms, fearing he might suddenly change his mind. "Ahhh, that's great. Come on, little kitty, go home with your sister and brother."
He retorted unhappily, "I can handle this disgusting situation without you."
She had originally planned to have Amemiya carry the cat into the small house, but once in his arms, the cat viciously attempted to bite his neck and arms.
Naoko had no choice but to carry the cat into Amemiya's house herself and place it on the carpet.
"I have some leftover cat food at home. I'll get it." Turning and taking a few steps, Naoko heard the cat's heartbreaking screams and Amemiya's impatient scolding behind her.
"Shut up, you bastard! Be quiet, okay? You should have some manners when you're in someone else's house."
"…"
Hopefully, they can get along.
Naoko happily petted the cat all night, only reluctantly returning home after Kawase Misato repeatedly urged her.
She sent numerous messages to Matsuki-san, but all fell on deaf ears.
It wasn't just Matsuki-san, it was also Aida-san and Okada-san. She wanted to ask if everyone got home safely, but there was no reply.
Maybe it was because she behaved so badly yesterday.
Of course, this was also due to Amemiya-kun's interference.
However, the next day, she knew why.
Matsuki, Okada and Aida all committed suicide by taking poison in the nameless dangerous building.
The moment she heard the news, Naoko was frightened and her face turned pale.
What a joke!
We were eating parfait together yesterday, weren't we?
People who were so lively not long ago were dead in the blink of an eye. This is simply unacceptable.
Seeing her pale face, Amemiya's lips curled up with a malicious smile: "People like that deserve to die. I wish I could tear them into pieces."
"Amemiya-kun, you're going too far. They treated us to chocolate parfait yesterday."
"People like that are not important at all. You don't need to care about such irrelevant things." He said indifferently.
"How can it be unrelated? Even if we are not friends, we are still classmates."
He stared at her without saying a word.
"Amemiya-kun, I think you are a little weird. Do you have a fever?" She wanted to put out her hand to touch his forehead, but he dodged her with a strong reaction, so she had to add, "If you have psychological problems, it is better to talk to the teacher in the psychology department."
"Oh, I'm fine." He turned his eyes away lightly, and when he looked at her from the side, his earlobe seemed to have turned red.
...Could he be shy?
With the corner of her eye, Naoko observed this strange and cold-faced Amemiya.
She always felt that something was weird.
Amemiya-kun, doesn't look like "Amemiya-kun".
He strolled over to her side and paused.
She seemed oblivious to his approach, still sound asleep. The light filtered through her long eyelashes, casting a thick shadow across her cheek.
