ㅡClick, click, click… !

The soft shutter sound continues to ring.

A thin finger presses the shutter button.

It was a frantic movement of the hands as if trying to capture the subject’s soul in the camera.

The camera angle continued to capture distant figures. Each time your finger adjusts the aperture, the subject captured in the lens is captured more precisely.

A woman with her light blue hair tied back.

A man with gray hair can be seen next to him.

He was a small boy whose height reached the height of a woman’s chest.

‘It looks a lot different, but it’s unmistakable no matter how you look at it… … .’

The woman, who had her hand on the shutter, thought to herself and zoomed in closer.

In the enlarged screen, a man and a woman were standing in the parking lot of a ruined hospital. They were rummaging around for something there. I don’t know what was underneath, but I was casually digging through the piled up debris.

ㅡCha, car, car, car, click… !!!

She even captured this on camera. Even in continuous shooting mode. However, one strange thing was that only one person was captured in the camera angle.

ㅡClick!

And finally, the front view of the gray-haired boy is captured on the screen. He was a boy with red eyes that were clearly visible even from afar.

“Hehe, I finally found it─♡”

A young and delicate voice leaks from the lips of a woman who is pressing the camera shutter. It was a voice full of satisfaction.

“I thought I would never see you again, but I never thought I would see you again… … .”

She couldn’t take her eyes off the camera and kept muttering. It looked like it was grinning, showing its sharp fangs between its lips.

“Moran! Are we there yet? Let’s go!”

“How long has it been since you escaped from prison that you have been secretly observing the capital hospital? I guess hospital food suits your taste?”

“Or was there a male nurse you liked?”

At that time, a voice is heard giggling from behind. Everyone could only be seen as a silhouette because they were covered in shadows, but judging by the way they spoke, it was possible to guess that they were villains.

They called the woman they were filming with a camera ‘Peony’. She still couldn’t take her eyes off the gray-haired boy.

“Moran, if you keep going like this, a chase team might catch up?!”

“That’s right. The new boss will be waiting for you, but that’s it─”

“Okay, you guys go first-!”

Moran coldly cuts off their noisy conversation. She was still looking at the camera screen.

“Yes? What now… … ?”

“It’s noisy, so shut up and go home on your own.”

“Yes, but the boss made a special prison break for Moran… ”

“Don’t make me repeat the same thing twice. Before taking pictures with this camera.”

“… … .”

Everyone’s mouth freezes at her firm tone. The coldness of the childish voice could not have been colder than that.

“Now that I have seen that you are still alive and well, there is no reason to return to the Union-♥”

***

-Quarrr! Suddenly, slowly… !

A sharp noise vibrates from a construction site.

Collapsed bricks fly lightly.

Like tipping over a light plastic block.

But it was definitely not a toy.

It was a real iron pipe and a heavy brick.

Those things were now flying through the air like nothing happened.

A woman with light blue hair was digging through the ruins with her bare hands and no equipment.

“Noona… ? Let’s stop now and go… … .”

“Ha, I just fell in love with this guy… … . Today was the first day… … .”

Iria grumbles and reluctantly straightens her back and stands up. And then… … .

ㅡCrispy! Crunch… !

He turns the brick he was holding into powder with just his grip. He must be calming his mind by venting his anger on a brick.

“Haaa… ! It’s not a good idea to go outside for a while. Please meet a good owner in your next life… … .”

Iria muttered in a weak voice, scattering the brick dust she was holding in her hand into the air.

Anyone who sees it may think that they are scattering the remains of the deceased in front of the stone tomb and praying for their souls to rest in peace.

“Cars, and now even bikes… … . If you were a member of the association, you could at least claim the expenses… … .”

“Sister, it’s okay… ?”

“Whew! Yes, just buy a new one. How much… … !”

What a nonsense. Just by looking at it, it looked expensive.

Well, if you have a lot of money, what’s there to worry about?

If you have a lot of money, it is true that you are a sister.

Iria sighed and turned around with heavy steps. Then he looked into my eyes with a slightly gloomy look.

“I’m really fine. So should we stop going back now?”

Still, he tried to smile.

Pretending like nothing is wrong, pretending to be calm.

He held out his hand to me, telling me to hurry and go home.

“Sister, you’re really okay, right… … ?”

“Yes. Still, I’m glad you’re safe.”

Iria’s expression gradually softens as she holds my small hand tightly and makes eye contact. Then she shakes her head left and right and shakes off her worries.

“Now, let’s go home quickly. It would be best to get some rest today.”

Iria soon regained her usual appearance as if nothing had happened. I guess he was trying to change the mood by looking at my feelings.

“Yes… ! Let’s go! I’m hungry!”

Now that I see Iria like this, I finally feel at ease. Also, I was feeling hungry after overusing my abilities in the clinic earlier.

“Hehe… Just tell me what you want to eat. I’ll buy it all for you.”

“Good! But sister, how do I get home from here?”

I also asked her questions in an attempt to get her rhythm out of the way and get away from the depressing topic. It was also something I was really curious about.

“Umm… Probably 30-40 minutes by subway from here? The roads are a mess because of the recent terrorist attack, so it will be difficult to take a taxi or bus.”

“It’s taking longer than expected, isn’t it? When it came, it seemed like it took very quickly.”

“Right? My driving skills are also good… Unfortunately, the bike that passed away before its owner was a relatively new model… … .”

Ah, the voice becomes gloomy again.

I thought I finally made you forget… … .

Before I get depressed again like this, let’s talk about the topic… … .

“Ah, anyway… ! So you’re going by subway?”

“Yes. Thanks to the villains, I will be able to use public transportation for the first time in a long time.”

“Wait? Are you really going to take the subway? Sister, are you okay?”

“Huh? What’s wrong? Is there anything you’re worried about?”

“Because… ?! Did we leave our helmets behind too? Are you going to show your face like this?”

It was like that. I am worried about whether I will be able to use public transportation with the popular hero Iria. Obviously, many people will recognize it, so even moving may be difficult.

“Hmm… are you okay. Because there is a way.”

“How?”

“Okay, let’s stop by the association’s temporary relief center for a moment.”

In “? Why there again?”

“I was on my way to the station anyway, and I wanted to get some small support in exchange for the bike price.”

Iria just shrugged her shoulders with an expression that seemed like it was no big deal. As if there is a way to everything.

***

Even though it is bright daylight, the view is completely dark.

In addition, visibility is reduced, which is frustrating.

The feeling of being blocked by walls up, down, left and right.

I had to turn my head to check my surroundings.

That’s right, I was wearing black goggles right now. The size didn’t even fit, so my nose was buried inside the goggles. If it gets a little hotter, it gets steamy inside.

“Sihuya, are you very uncomfortable?”

“Well, it’s pretty bearable. Is it really okay for you to be like this… … ?”

“Yes. Thanks to you, I got to go outside for the first time in a long time, and it felt good.”

“It’s underground… … .”

Iria is standing there holding my hand tightly.

She is also wearing sunglasses.

Besides this, we each had a black hat and mask covering our faces.

In particular, Iria, who took off her gas mask, was wearing an additional layer of mask to cover the mask she was wearing on the inside.

Otherwise, I would have had to go around with my suspiciously wet mask clearly visible.

All of this was supported by the association’s temporary relief center.

‘Nothing will really happen… … ?’

No matter how much you cover your face,

The feeling of anxiety did not go away.

I was afraid that other people would recognize me,

On the one hand, the strange tension makes me pay attention to my surroundings.

“Sister, then why did you reject the association’s support? You said you would even lend me a car.”

“Ah, the president of the association said that. Now, if possible, don’t trust anyone from the association. It seems like there are spies inside… … ?”

“Like Dr. G?”

“Yes. Still, it’s nice to ride the subway normally. It’s been a really long time since I’ve done something like this.”

“Well, I guess so.”

“And when will I walk outside together like this again? When you get to the station, you can think of it as a walk home and walk together.”

“If that’s the case, I like it too!”

I never thought I would miss a normal daily life.

I feel sad and pitiful for no reason.

For her, there is no reason to refuse cardio.

How frustrating and lonely must you have been working alone with your face covered? As long as I can ease that loneliness, that’s fine.

Even though his face was covered.

It’s a strange feeling because it feels like we’re on a regular date.

‘Ah, isn’t it a bit too much to just do this everyday? It seems like they’re having a secret affair… … ?’

Dates where people avoid eye contact are rare.

I feel like I have become a celebrity too.

It was a daily date that was difficult to experience in my life.

[Rurrr-! The train is coming. Passengers, take a step back… ]

As I held Iria’s hand and pondered various thoughts, the subway arrived.

[The screen door opens.]

The subway here was not much different from where I was. The only difference is that there are men-only seats instead of pregnant women-only seats.

This system was created because there were so many perverts in the subway.

ㅡWhat a buzz… !

Even though it is only around 2-3pm, it is crowded with people, perhaps because it is in the metropolitan area.

Did people flock to the subway because of the aftermath of the terrorist attack? The crowd of people getting on and off the train is much larger than expected.

‘Ugh? It’s narrow… … ?’

Of course, there was no place to sit inside.

It’s quite crowded.

So much so that there is no room to even step.

All I could do was barely stand.

Fortunately, because of my small body, I had some room to spare.

[The screen door closes.]

As the door closes, they become even closer.

The women’s warm pelvis and breasts put pressure on every part of my body.

I don’t know where to put my hands and eyes.

‘After this, I can’t even see Iria’s face properly? By the way, where is Lia Noonan…? … ?’

It was a time when I was standing in such a tight space, whining.

-Pook!

“Ahh… ?”

In an instant, my arm is pulled and I feel a warm touch all over my body.

It felt like someone was hugging me from behind. Probably Iria.

But there was a different problem.

ㅡWiggle, wiggle… !

Something is stirring in my lower abdomen.

“… … ?!”

It felt like he was gently holding my sensitive area with his palm and massaging it slowly.
