The red-haired boy lowered his eyes, squeezed the ointment onto his fingers, and then applied it to her injured area.

The air is filled with the smell of ointment, which smells of mint and has the unique pungent smell of ointment.His movements were very gentle, and he spread the ointment evenly on the red and swollen strangles with two fingers, bringing a subtle feeling mixed with slight pain and light itching.

After quietly applying the medicine, Hongye moved her wrist, the coolness replaced the pain.

"Thank you, Akashi-kun."

she whispered.

After experiencing this incident, after waking up, Hongye became very obedient, as if she hadn't recovered from the fright.The girl's face was still a little pale, her head was lowered, and from Akashi's angle, she could only see her side face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips were almost in a straight line, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Hongye lowered her head in a dazed and restless manner, contrary to her usual casual and neglectful appearance, she looked obedient and pitiful, making one unable to help but want to pat her head.

"I checked your body when you were unconscious, and there is nothing serious other than the trauma." Akashi Seijuro wiped his ointment-stained fingers with a handkerchief, and looked at the red leaves with his head hanging down. "But it's impossible to be sure. After all, there may still be problems that cannot be detected by the instrument. Do you still feel uncomfortable now?"

Hongye didn't answer, and Akashi didn't urge her, he got up and brought a glass of water, and handed it to Hongye, who held the water glass in both hands, and drank it in small sips.

Gradually, Hongye's fingers gradually grasped the rim of the cup, her fingertips turned white with force, and the water surface kept shaking, just like her trembling palm.Akashi watched Momiji patiently, shivering his shoulders as if weeping, quickly stuffed the water glass into Akashi's hand, and then wiped his eyes with his hand.

"I'm fine, thank you."

Apart from this, Hongye didn't know what to say, her current mood was too complicated, so she had to stuff the water glass over.

There were so many things happening that it would fill her head, and she couldn't even think about how to deal with Akashi's problems.

Fortunately, Akashi didn't seem to mind Hongye's attitude. He put aside the water glass that Hongye had stuffed in: "You don't need to thank me. It was my mistake when something like this happened."

Hongye was taken aback when she heard the words, and frowned: "It's not your fault."

She still knew about it.

After a few seconds of silence, she asked in a low voice, "Akashi-kun, is that person... caught?"

It took a long while for Hongye to get an answer to the question she cared about.

"He escaped and is now being traced based on the clues left behind. The testimony of the survivors is very clear. Although he is very smart, it is only a matter of time before he is caught and brought to justice." The boy's voice did not sound pleasant.

"Will he not appear again?" When referring to Ryunosuke Yusheng, Momiji had a look of resistance on his face, "If he escapes..."

Thinking of that person who said with a smile that he liked her, Hongye felt panic and nausea from the bottom of her heart.

Is it just because of her super high charisma value that Ryunosuke Yusheng noticed her and gained his liking, so this perverted murderer was the target and had such a terrible encounter?

What the hell is that?

She was irritable and powerless. She couldn't accept such a thing at all, but she had to accept it.

Momiji thought of the owner who was killed by an intruder who suddenly appeared in the house. She was afraid that one day Ryunosuke Yusheng would break into Barbara, and because of Momiji, he would hurt his brother, Kusanagi Tara and the others.

She was very remorseful, thinking that it would be fine if she hadn't bumped into him that day and hadn't answered his questions.

Hongye even began to think that if she hadn't filled up her charm at the beginning, she might still be living an ordinary life, instead of being caught in self-blame and not knowing what to do.

"Don't worry." Akashi said flatly, "You won't be in danger anymore."

Hongye didn't hear the strangeness in the words, she just thought that Akashi was comforting herself about Ryunosuke Yusheng, and forced a smile on him, pretending to be very happy.

"Great."

Actually not good at all.

Hongye doesn't know anything about the things she owns, she has never paid any attention to them, nor has she ever cared about the effect they will have.

She just blindly enjoyed the star-studded life brought about by cheating, but she didn't understand them.

Today I tried to think for the first time, and when I went back to gaining the ability, Hongye discovered a new trouble.

Why did she think that she was full of charm points at the beginning?Hongye thought in confusion.

Obviously there was no particularly obvious change at that time, but at the next moment, she affirmed this point without any doubt, and she firmly believes it until now.

There are too many mysteries to understand.

Hongye felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, and couldn't find any clues.

"Hongye, I'm very angry this time."

Hongye was still in a mess after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out her thoughts, and was terribly bored. Akashi's sudden voice made her pull out of her thoughts, and looked up at him.

Akashi said slowly, "It's not that I'm angry with you, but I'm angry with myself. I actually made concessions because of your dissatisfaction and didn't implement my ideas. But now I understand that I'm still absolutely right, I won't indulge you any longer."

"What?" Hongye didn't understand why Akashi said that, she was already a little upset, and couldn't help asking when she heard this sentence.

"You are too weak, Momiji." Akashi held Momiji's cheeks, and exerted force with his fingertips, causing her to turn her head to face him. The golden red eyes locked on hers, and Momiji was not allowed to dodge the slightest bit. "Anything in danger , you don’t even have the ability to resist, you are so weak that you can only be slaughtered by others, that’s why what happened today.”

Akashi's words made Hongye uncomfortable, and the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The source of Hongye's self-blame was hit by him sharply.

"...That's not the case, I'm also working hard to become stronger." Hongye opened her mouth and retorted without confidence.

"That's the truth, Hongye, you're just trying to argue for your own incompetence." He said, "Of course, it's not your fault."

However, when Hongye was bored and angry, and wanted to prove that he was not like that, but couldn't speak, he spoke again.

"I wanted to see how far you could grow, but now I don't need it anymore. In order to avoid this situation from happening again, I decided that it would be better for you to just stay by my side—you don't need to go to other places. It's time for you, Hongye."

"That's the real right decision."

Seeing Akashi like this, listening to his words, Momiji felt something was wrong.

Since dating, the young man who has always been very gentle, finally showed his fangs and sharp claws after the prey was blinded by his concession and warmth.

"Wait, wait, Akashi-kun, what are you talking about?"

Hongye grabbed the bed sheet with her fingers, looked away, and asked uneasily: "What do you mean? Why can't you go? I can't understand." After a pause, she showed an anxious look again, and hurriedly added, "No need I've explained it, let's talk later when I have time, I'm leaving now."

Facing Momiji's self-deception, Akashi gave a low laugh.

He stared at the red leaves in front of him, just like watching a bird about to be caught in a cage. It has only now felt the danger slowly, flapping its wings in a panic in front of the enemy, trying to fly away, but it is too weak to resist.

How ridiculous and endearing.

Akashi was only unilaterally informing Koye of his decision, and did not intend to give her a chance to escape. He ignored Koye's questioning and evasion, and continued talking to Koye patiently.

"You just have to obey me, Hongye, you don't need to go home, this will be your home from now on." The young man smiled slightly, and stroked Hongye's cheek, "I will protect you of."

Momiji opened her eyes wide, realizing what Akashi Seijuro really meant.

Time stood still at this moment.
