[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

61#Kise Ryota's time

"...Since you already know, little Heizi, it seems pointless for me to keep it a secret."

Kise Ryo was silent for a long time, and smiled wryly.

"Sorry, I've been lying to you before. When I arrived, Mana was indeed conscious."

***

Kise Ryota never thought that Kuroko Mana would want to commit suicide.So when he saw Kuroko Mana standing in front of the iron fence on the rooftop, he didn't think too much, but just said to her, "That's dangerous, little Mana."

But then he saw shoes and envelopes on the side of the barbed wire.Almost without thinking, he clung to the barbed wire and climbed over, holding the barbed wire with one hand and reaching out to Mana with the other.The moment she was about to grab her, Mana moved a few steps to the side, avoiding his hand, and smiled apologetically at him.

'sorry. '

After saying this silently, she turned around and took a step towards the edge of the roof——

"Hey--!"

Kise Ryota let go of the barbed wire without any hesitation, and rushed over to push Mana to a safe area, but he fell backwards due to an unstable center of gravity, and was about to fall off the edge in the blink of an eye.

'! ! ! '

At the very moment, Mana rushed to the edge of the roof and grabbed his hand.The bones made a rattling sound due to such a huge falling force, the girl clenched her teeth, and refused to let go even if she was dragged inch by inch to the edge due to the weight difference between the two.Hooking his feet on the concrete platform, he tried his best to pull Kise back from the edge of falling.

"I said, you can't pull mine."

Kise watched the girl almost cry, and said with a smile, so, how about letting go?

Mana shook her head vigorously, tears slowly pooled in her eyes, her face was flushed with force, she bit her lips tightly, while shaking her head, she desperately pulled him back, trying to pull him up.Seeing her like this, Kise Ryota laughed, and stretched out her right hand that had been hanging behind her.

"How about a hand?"

'? ? ? '

Huang Lai smiled and climbed onto the edge of the roof, bent slightly to show her to look at her feet.

"I stepped on the water pipe."

'...'

With Mana's help, Kise climbed up to the rooftop by stepping on the water pipe, and sat beside Kuroko Mana.Seeing the girl shrugging her shoulders slightly, he let out a long sigh, and reached out to touch Mana's head.

"So you understand, if you die, everyone will be sad. Just like you can't watch me fall like this, if I didn't hold you just now, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

'...'

"I am very happy to be able to save you. When I rescued you, I was also saved. Do you understand, Mana?"

'……………'

Mana hugged her knees in silence for a long time before reaching out and gently holding Kise's hand.

'sorry. '

She said silently, smiling apologetically at Kise.However, unlike before, the despair in her eyes has faded.

Kise Ryota smiled, stood up and reached out to her.

"Anyway, let's go back, Mana-chan?"

Mana wiped away her tears, smiled, and put her hand in his.

***

"After we got off the rooftop, Mana received an email from Xiao Heizi."

Huang Lai's eyes drifted into the distance, as if he saw the girl smiling at the phone again with red eyes.What kind of smile is that, after suffering but still full of hope, like the first light among the clouds after the rain, so dazzling and beautiful.He can't forget it all his life.

"She handed it to me after writing something like this on her phone. She wrote, 'Thank you, Ryota-kun. Don't worry, I won't do stupid things anymore. Even for people who care about me, I will Trying to survive.'”

Kise Ryoto closed her eyes as if she couldn't take it anymore.From that day on, he prayed countless times, praying for the time to return, he can exchange it with anything, let the time go back to that day, back to the time when Mana left——

"...I should have sent her back. Even if there was still a modeling job that day, I should have sent her back."

But time cannot be repeated, and Kise Ryota cannot predict the future.So, he just smiled and said see you tomorrow, and then watched the girl walk out of the end of his sight.

"It took about an hour. After I finished work, I wanted to call to see if she was home. But no one answered the phone several times. Until the last call——"

The call that was connected at the last second before hanging up, came from the other end, the girl whose voice was ruined, the hoarse pleading that was beyond human voice.

"She said to me...help me...'help me, Ryota-kun'."

"She told me to help me."

"But I still couldn't save her in the end."

Even if he tried his best to run, even if he forced his agent to drive the car to the fastest speed, even if he called an ambulance on the road...even if he tried his best, he still couldn't make it in time.When Kise Ryota arrived, all he saw was the long trail of blood trailing in the alley, and the dying girl at the end of the blood trail.After being hit, he fell into a coma until he was awakened by a series of phone rings from Kise.In order to survive, she crawled towards the entrance of the alley with all her remaining strength, but she still couldn't make it to the end.

"Even then, Mana was still smiling at me."

The blood-stained, gentle smile as always.

"She said, don't tell Ah Zhe."

Then, Mana completely lost consciousness.

"That was her last word."

The room was silent.

Kise Ryota stared at Kuroko Tetsuya, and slowly smiled wryly.

"That's all I know. For the rest, you should ask classmate Di Xiaolu."

"Because before Mana's accident, she was the last person to talk to her."

All eyes were on Erica Dikoji.She bowed her head deeply, her face was buried in the shadows, and she couldn't tell what kind of expression was on her face at this moment.

Kugaoi slowly reached out and grabbed her arm.

"...Ai, Rika?"

"……what……"

"Erica?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Erika Dixiaolu suddenly hugged her belly and laughed wildly, until she choked up tears.She fell to the ground, laughing hysterically and crying uncontrollably.The black shadow swelled up again and slammed into the door forcefully. The floor of the room trembled violently. Finally, the paper door couldn't withstand these three times of impact, and it collapsed amidst the girl's wild laughter and everyone's screams!

A fishy wind swept through the entire room, and the darkness spread in the room in an instant. Only Serizawa Leila, Nura Rikusheng and the unowned candle were still burning with a faint fire, and the endless darkness confrontation.

But Erika Futekoji turned around and opened her arms towards the darkness.

"So... I was the one who killed you, Mana."

Accompanied by Erica's murmur, a dark shadow that was deeper than darkness gathered at the door.

Serizawa Leila's candle was extinguished at this moment.
