Chapter 201 - Difficult For Her
As much as she wants him? Sumire repeated those words in her head and frowned. It is hard to measure another person's desires. Nobody can truly understand somebody else's longing. Longing for another person to the point of deprivation, craving for them so badly and yet not being able to get them. Since she realized she fell in love with Terashima Yuhi, she suffered a lot.
It was strange, falling in love with him.
She fell in love with him shortly after their first meeting, so it was difficult for her. When she realized she loved him, she wanted to see Yuhi every single day. But she couldn't, she had to control herself. She didn't write that note half heartily. She will see him once she has made a name for herself, until then she must refrain from meeting him.
_1.jpeg)
It was difficult for her but she survived so long and coped with the pain and longing. But now that she has learned his warmth, it will be difficult for her.
"So you know what I was thinking?"
"Mm?" The two of them were walking down the busy streets of Tokyo hand in hand.
"We should go somewhere together."
"Somewhere?"
"A trip, just us two. How do you feel about blue skies, a field of sunflowers and an ocean?"
Sumire paused to think. She is not that fond of beaches or the hot weather. She preferred to stay in doors whenever it was summer. But this is probably the only chance she will get to be alone with Yuhi properly. Sure they have spent the last few days practically glued to the hip, but this is different. They will go to a place where nobody knows them.
"I'd like to see you in your swimsuit."
Yuhi laughed. "Just an old pair of trunks, unless you're after something else?"
Sumire tilted her head innocently. "I don't know what you're talking about."
She was messing with him of course but only because he saw right through her. The other day she briefly disclosed how she was going crazy around him. She pointed out that this was a serious thing and they needed to discuss it. Since then Yuhi has slipped in a few jokes.
"If that's what you want, you don't have to wait until we go to the beach." Yuhi brought his lips to her ear. "You can see it whenever you want."
The atmosphere around Yuhi suddenly turned sexual. Sumire had to admit that she was impressed whenever this happened. Yuhi was an excellent boyfriend, he was a gentleman but he also knew how to please her. He knew how to make her happy without doing it. For example the current situation where he is kissing her earlobe, one hand on her thighs and the other raising her shirt.
"Sumire, you really are pretty. It's a waste for us not to do anything."
"A waste?" Sumire repeated.
"Mmm, you--" Yuhi trailed off. "-dont want to try?"
The offer was tempting. But they both knew they couldn't.
"Sorry." Sumire brushed her lips against his. "I want too and you know that. But I don't want to cause you any problems."
If this were the old days then they wouldn't have to care about such rules or rather this would be the perfect age for it. But times have changed. Yuhi is two years older than her, there isn't a large age difference but he should know better than to touch somebody who is underage.
She knew that Yuhi didn't think of this as a problem. Nobody had to know too. The walls don't talk so it's not like anybody will realize. But what if something goes wrong? There are far too many risks involved.
Besides a part of the reason why she didn't want to was.. "Black Alice." Sumire mumbled.
Yuhi frowned when he heard her words. "Don't think about it."
"Yuhi, we can't ignore it forever."
Recently she gets this feeling that somebody is watching her too. Sumire didn't want to worry Yuhi so she only informed Shin about it. Shin told her he would check up on the matter and get back to her. But so far she has not heard anything.
"I know we can't." Yuhi admitted. "But I just don't want you to stress over these things. It isn't good for you."
"Yuhi, I appreciate your concern but I am not weak."
Yuhi extended his hand out and pinched her cheeks. "I know your not, you're amazing." He nodded at this. "But I just want to help you Sumire, you're not alone anymore."
She covered her face when she heard him say those words. "Uh, I thought you were going to lecture me. I didn't expect a rain of compliments."
"Rain of compliments? That was only one."
It was only one but it was enough to make her heart beat fast. Yuhi pulled her hands away from her face. He brushed his forehead against hers. "Don't be afraid."
"I--I am trying not to." She muttered.
"Good." Yuhi kissed her forehead softly. His lips seemed to linger on that space for a few extra seconds before he pulled away. "Lets get going, otherwise the night will disappear."
…
"So, I don't understand why you buy so much food but don't eat it."
Yuhi rolled his eyes. "You never know what you will need." She watched as he tossed some snacks onto the trolley.
"Ah-huh, but it just seems like a waste of money." She thought back to the amount of snacks she found in his apartment. Even though he doesn't go there often there was so much food.
"At least I will be prepared when something happens."
Something huh? What does he expect will-- she paused in midthought. Well if the world turns upside down due to the superpower thing then indeed they would need supplies.
Sumire grabbed some things from the shelves and tossed it into the trolley.
Yuhi grinned. "That's my girl, you catch on quick."
My girl? Sumire repeated his words in her head. Sometimes Yuhi uses terms that make her blush. He calls her love, my dear and sometimes he calls her his wife.
She wonders if this person is serious. He loves her a lot yes but the wife thing? Does Yuhi actually want to spend the rest of their lives together? He wants to be with her forever? Thump. Thump. She hears the rapid sound of her heartbeat. Forever with Yuhi? She actually liked that idea more than she thought.
The last few days she got a glimpse of their life together. It seems like if she is with this person she will achieve the happy life she has always dreamed about. But is it okay for her to be happy? A person like-- her thoughts broke off when she felt Yuhi kiss her. No, it seemed like he fed her something.
"Chocolate?"
"Mm, its a freebie. Tasty?"
Sumire slowly nodded her head and Yuhi laughed. "Nobody else is around, maybe we should get another."

Chapter 202 - The Path To The New World
This person seems so happy recently. The last few days she noticed it. Yuhi is smiling a lot more now. It makes her happy knowing that Yuhi is smiling now. But Sumire wondered what the cause was. When she first came here he still seemed distant and aloof. Is it a woman? They say that men change whenever it comes to love. Did Yuhi find another girl and that's why he is happier these days?
It wouldn't surprise her. While they are together nearly all the time. There are moments where Yuhi goes somewhere and leaves her alone for a good hour or so. Can love blossom in that short amount of time? Sumire did not know. But one thing is for sure he definitely changed because of her.
"Why are you making that stupid face for?"
"Why are you calling me stupid again?"
Yuhi sighed. "I told you before that if I call you stupid it is to confirm things." He trailed off. "Tell me what you're thinking."
When she saw the serious look on his eyes, Sumire knew she couldn't keep this a secret so she told him.
"I am happy that you're cheerful now don't get me wrong or anything it is great. But I feel sad knowing that your happiness was caused by another woman.."
Yuhi pulled her into his arms and kissed her earlobe and then neck. "Another woman?"
"Y--" What is he doing now? Even though she probably caught him out.
"What other woman have you seen me with?"
"Nobody I saw but you know when you go out for an hour.."
"To buy your pastries and anything else you crave for?"
"Then on the phone you sneak around."
"I don't want you seeing the photos I took of you."
Sumire was running out of excuses. How come he has a perfectly good and acceptable answer for everything?
"Remember to trust me Sumire."
"Well I do but you're just behaving strangely," Sumire mumbled.
Yuhi kissed her lips again. "The reason I am happy is because of you. I mean these days you take the initiative more so.." He ran his hands through his hair. "So it makes me very happy. I can see that you really do like me. I thought so before too but it wasn't until now where I confirmed things."
So it was to do with her? The reason why he smiles more is her?
He nuzzled his face on her neck. "You know maybe we should skip the adventure tonight and go home."
"Go home?"
"You keep tempting me. I am having a hard time not attacking you."
Sumire laughed softly. "I want to buy more things. We can go after this."
"Alright, I will take your word for that." Yuhi trailed off. "Stay here for a bit and browse. I will go over there."
"I can come--" He placed his lips on her fingers.
"It is too cold in the freezer area. But we can get good food there. Be good."
Sumire only nodded her head. Whenever Yuhi talks to her in a gentle voice like this, she ends up having crazy ideas in her head. It seems like that happens a lot regardless of what he does. Yuhi gently kissed her lips again and she tugged on his hand.
"Relax, I will only be there for a few minutes."
She was reluctant to let him go but nodded. He bolted down a lane and disappeared behind some large metallic doors. Sumire stared at the tray of food and put it aside as she sat down on a high stool.
From: Unknown
Are you still going to continue ignoring my calls and messages?
From: Star
I am not ignoring you now am I?
From: Unknown
I will come there soon.
From:Star
You don't have to personally come here. I have this under control.
From: Unknown
Was dating Terashima Yuhi part of the plan?
Sumire frowned when she saw that message. It seems like that person already knew. She thought she could hide it from him, but that does not seem to be the case here.
From: Star
It won't interfere with my work. Besides, we made a deal didn't we? If I helped you, you would find out for me.
From: Unknown
We need to meet
From: Star
When?
From: Unknown
Two days from now.
Sumire sent a quick okay to confirm and closed her phone. She sighed deeply. It seems like she needs to get a grip. If she doesnt and that person senses her weakness then the situation would end up bad. After Ru died she ended up behaving recklessly. But the funny thing is she hardly had any memory of it. One day she woke up and found herself chained to the wall, she was in an underground research facility of some kind.
The old her would have panicked and thrashed about, but the her then was lifeless. She simply stared at the ceiling and walls for hours. She even played with the idea of using the chain on her wrists to cause more injuries.
It was then when she met him, that researcher.
_______
In a laboratory on the other side of the pacific ocean.
A tall man with black hair and pale colored eyes wearing a white lab coat, black suit and leather shoes stared at the phone in his hands. A single okay was the only reply he received for the last few minutes. That girl never listens, but then again she was always a stubborn one. He knew the moment that he recruited her that it would be risky to keep her by his side. But he took the risk anyway.
It seems like she has already met Hino, met up with her ex, and meeting Nakara Shin again. But he picked up a sheet of paper that had Terashima Yuhis picture and details. Is this one important? What kind of role will this one play in the process of evolution and the world's change?
The scientist called Eli had no idea. But one thing was for sure. "The Queen is moving again."
As long as she keeps moving and forging ahead, eventually, the path to the new world will open up. But in order to create something new, something will have to end. What choice will she make? He is looking forward to finding out.

Chapter 203 - Dream World
Following day - Tokyo Main Streets-
When a bike pulled up in front of her after she left the convenient store. A bike that didn't belong to Yuhi, the last person she expected it to belong to, was Nakara Shin. It seems like she needs to change her opinion of him. This guy isn't the average nerdy scientist.
Shin tossed the helmet towards her. "Get on."
Her eyes twitched, annoyed. What is with the men around her? They all demand things without explaining. Sumire lets the helmet land on the ground.
Shin sighed. "This is important."
"The pudding will melt."
He looked troubled but nodded. "Then, is it fine if we talk in a park or something?"
…
The moment they arrived at the park, Sumire noticed how quiet it was. Recently she noticed this, and it is a lot quieter these days. Shin immediately pulled some documents out and scattered them onto the table.
"Do you recognize any of these men?"
Sumire scanned the photos, and her eyes widened. "These are staff members at my old school." She pointed to the ones on the right. "This one is the janitor, and this one is one of the canteen's servers."
The more she listed, the more she frowned. "Could these people be?"
"All members of the Black Alice organization."
Now that she thought about it whenever Ru showed up at school, he was strangely protective. For example, whenever she went to the cafeteria, he always said that he would line up in her place. Sumire thought it was weird, but she never pried or asked for more details.
To think the members of such an unknown and yet large group was all around her. Sumire frowned as she tapped her finger against the wooden table. "Not a coincidence?"
"Tsukuhara high school headmaster, have you ever met him?"
Sumire nodded. "Of course I have. He is Moonlight middle school president too. He was a popular idol in his time who sold billions of records."
"This man." Shin pointed to the man with long curly hair. "Seems to be acquainted with the headmaster."
The headmaster, huh?
"You don't seem shocked."
"Well, he was always a weird one. I remember when I was working on Nanairo feathers debut song, he kept throwing impossible challenges. Moreover, he tried to kick me out of school several times." Sumire trailed off and sighed at the memory.
Those days were indeed difficult. She went through a lot to prove her talent and ability. She went through so much pain.
"So.."
"So this doesn't surprise me. Yet I don't think he is the type of person who would get involved in the underworld matters." Sumire trailed off. "There is more to this than them simply knowing each other."
"I agree, that was why I planned to investigate the different high schools in this area."
Sumire tilted her head puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to go to Star Town?"
"Their main base of operations is in Tokyo. Also, these people are no longer working in Tsukuhara high school. I snooped around and found they have different jobs here in Tokyo."
"You're taking me with you?"
Shin sighs deeply. "Well, only if you want." He trailed off, and his gaze fell on her stomach. "It might get dangerous, so think about it."
So Shin knows about her pregnancy too. "I will come with you."
After they cleared the pictures up from the table, she followed Shin out of the park. As they left, Sumire could not help but get the feeling that somebody was watching them. It could just be her imagination, but she turned around and glanced back at the park on the other side of the road.
Not only are the streets so quiet today, but there is no sound anywhere - no sound from the birds either. Something is wrong here, but she doesn't understand what it is.
"Say, Shin?" Sumire asked.
"Yes?"
"Don't you think it is too quiet?" Since earlier, she got this nagging feeling that there was a problem. But unfortunately, she didn't know what it was.
Shin stopped walking for a moment and looked back. "You still can't tell?"
"Huh?"
"Right now, you are dreaming."
She blinked when she heard those words. Huh? Is he-- "Wait, Im in a dream?"
"If you think about it carefully, yes. Do you genuinely think a place as heavily populated as Tokyo would be this quiet?"
A dream? But this morning she remembered leaving the house- or did she? Now that she thought it through, she isn't sure. Yuhi hugged her from the back, kissed her a bit, and didn't stop. He carried her back to the room.
"Wait if this is a dream, why are you here too... Unless your just my imagination."
Shin sighed. "This girl is investigating superpowers, but she finds this situation strange."
Sumire frowned. "Well, this is.."
"Were inside a dream, somebody trapped you here. I came here willingly because I need to investigate. I was with my team, but we ended up getting separated." Shin explained to her.
Did somebody trap her here? It seems like that organization is after her. But it doesn't seem like they want her dead. If they wanted her to die, they would have done it back then. Her most vulnerable moment was after Ru died. She locked herself up in his house and refused to see anybody. If they wanted her dead, they would have taken advantage of that a long time ago.
So what is their purpose- Sumire paused in mid-thought when she felt her vision go blurry. A pounding sound appeared in her head.
Her thoughts broke off when she felt Shin brush his hand across her forehead. "Excuse me."
Her eyes widened. Ah, somehow, this seems familiar. She has vague memories of something like this happening before—a young boy helping a young girl after she chased away some bullies.
"I think you have a fever, sit down for a moment?"
Sumire nodded, and he led her to some benches, not too far away. "Getting nausea in a dream is pathetic." She mumbled.
"Well, you are pregnant. This may be a dream, but they dragged your real body into the dream world."
"So, I'm not just sleeping?"
"You're in a trapped space." Shin trailed off. "Were you with Yuhi?"
At that comment, she nodded.
"Right about now, he must be trying to get you out. Or knowing him, he will try to come here."
"Come here?"
As she listened to Shin explain things, she felt bile in her throat and covered her mouth. It seems like she needs to get a bit of a reality check. Carelessly going out and investigating in her situation is no good.

Chapter 204 - Dream World PII
These days she plays with the idea of Ru being alive.
If he were still alive, he would support her with the child without a doubt. He would be very happy. Whenever her morning sickness happened, he would hold her in his arms. Sumire shook her head. What use is there thinking about this stuff now? Besides, it's not like Yuhi doesn't do that. Yuhi holds her so tightly these days like she is somebody precious. He treats her so kindly.
It's not like she isn't satisfied; she is very happy these days. But sometimes she can't help but think. How would Ru handle the current situation? Would he still rush and behave recklessly? Or would he stay by her side just like Yuhi?
"Say, Shin."
"What is it?"
"You told me before that you would protect me. You seem to have a strong conviction, why is that?" It was Something that piqued her curiosity from the very start.
Shin looked away. "Is the reason important?"
"Well, I appreciate that you want to keep me safe, and I find it sweet and all. But why?"
"You don't need a reason for it. Just know that if Something happens, I will be there for you."
Even now, he is saying such words with resolution and conviction. It doesn't seem like she will get any more answers from him. Yuhi is weird, so is Shin. Hino is acting strangely these days, and so is Sano. The guys around here are all up to Something.
She wonders if it were the same for that guy too. After that abrupt message conversation, he hasn't contacted her. He said three days, right? That means he should be here tomorrow. A part of her was not looking forward to this meeting.
"So, you came here with your team? What are they like?"
Shin sighs. "You're asking a lot of questions today."
"Well, it is rare that I get this chance." While they spoke a lot in school, it was always to do with physics.
She doesn't recall exactly how long she knew this person. But Sumire knew that her understanding of this person is small. She would like to get to know him better now that she has the chance. Sumire assumed that he was a typical book worm, but now that she thought about it, she heard some strange rumors before.
"Shin, you attended a Yankee school before you became a teacher, right?"
"Yes."
That's right; she first met him when he was still a student. It was before he started to pursue his career in physics seriously. Back then, she was frightened of him. After all, he had a scary look in his eyes and the rumors. "People used to say that you extorted money from women and children, was that true?"
A troubled look appeared on Shin's face. "Did you believe them?"
"Well.."
"Hey!"
Sumire laughed. "Could you blame me? I didn't know you very well back then." Not that she knows him any better now. But since she realized Ru trusted him, Sumire figured that he wasn't a bad guy. When he started to come over a lot during the time Ru was sick, she was very grateful.
"Well, the past is the past. The things that happened back then will stay in the past; right now, we should focus on the future."
Ah, just now, he looked quite cool. Sumire didn't know what it was. Maybe it was the gust of wind that suddenly blew just now. She wonders what kind of power Shin has; she hasn't seen it yet.
"Could I ask about your abilities?"
Hino has buzzer-beater.
That man's ability is earth.
Ru had sonic speed.
Shin blinked. "Are you interested?"
Sumire nodded, and he raised his hand. She watched as small droplets of water appeared from his fingertips. Her eyes widened. "Ah, water."
"Correct."
Water huh? It is a typical superpower, and yet she laughed softly. "It suits you."
"Suits me, huh?" Shin repeated.
An awkward silence appeared then, and her sweat fell. Should she not have asked him? But she was very curious. Recently she has been investigating a lot more. To think there are so many individuals with these unusual abilities. How come nobody has noticed before? They must have hidden it very well.
She often read the news and never saw things like this. But there were some bits and pieces before that she found strange—unusual accidents that happen all over the world, which can't be explained by science.
Sumire was about to break the silence when they heard Shin's phone ring. He immediately picked up the call. "Hello, Yuhi? Yeah, she is with me. Relax when we exit the dream, she will appear in the house. No, there won't be any interference. If you think so, you can make those preparations."
Yuhi? His phone works here? Then again, Shin said Something about them using their real bodies in this dream. She rummaged through her pocket and pulled out her phone but saw the black screen with the red battery symbol.
Sumire sighs. It is a good thing that Yuhi stopped her from going out. Imagine if she ended up being pulled into the dream outside, with a dead phone.
Shin tossed the phone to her.
"Yuhi?"
"Listen to shin, stick close to him, and I repeat, do not get involved."
Sumire sweat fell when she heard the long list of instructions that said the same thing. It seems like she can't do anything unless Shin says so.
"Uh Yuhi-san, you do realize that if we get into a brawl here, I can't just stand by and do nothing."
"Stupid girl, just wait for me."
Sumire wanted to say Something, but Yuhi quickly ended the call. So much for trying to bribe him with some sweet words. Then again, Yuhi is not the type of person who she could bribe during a serious situation. Sumire passes the phone back to Shin.
"It seems you're in charge of me, officer Shin."
"Well, Yuhi has the right to be concerned. If a fight does break out, you can fight but stick close to me."
Her eyes brightened at those words. "I can fight?"
"This girl is so eager to get into a brawl."
"But Yuhi is so overprotective. Just a trip to the convenient store two blocks away ends up with him fussing."
"Yuhi knows you can take care of yourself. He doesn't underestimate you. He knows if worse comes to worst, you will emerge the victor. But what he is worried about is the dirty tricks from the enemy."
"Shin, you understand Yuhi better than I do."
Shin sighs as he passed her a bottle of water from his bag. "It's not that I understand him. But after spending so long as his friend, I learned these things."
Forget knowing things about Shin. She still doesn't understand Yuhi very well. Sumire proceeded to open the cap when she saw the small straw attached to the top. Ah—? Could it be that Shin drinks his water like this?

Chapter 205 - I Will Protect You No Matter What
It took her a moment to understand. Just now, it looked like he was fiddling with Something when he had his back turned from her. So this is what he was up to? Sumire chuckled softly. Indeed it seems like she has misunderstood him. He isn't an average man, nor is he that scary person, others said he was. There is more to people than meets the eye.
After resting for a few extra minutes, the two of them are walking through the quiet streets. Indeed this is a dream, while the entire town is a replica. Sumire noticed a few things that differed from the real world.
"Shin, when can I go to the SF again?"
"Right now, we are dealing with a lot of crimes. So, unfortunately, not anytime soon."
"Is that why you don't stay in school for long?" Sumire noticed that he wasn't there as frequently as before.
At that comment, Shin nodded. "Something serious is about to happen. I don't know what the Black Alice organization wants with you. But I don't think your pregnancy is part of their plans."
"Are you saying--"
"It is a good thing it doesn't show. Otherwise, the situation could be very bad right now."
So she ought to keep it a secret. Sumire intended to do so anyway. She tried to shrug away Sano's words, but it remained in her head. When she safely gives birth, she can hide the child. Wait until they have both graduated and then reveal it. One year, she can do that cant she?
It will be hard for the child, but she has no choice. She wants to protect Yuhi and his dreams.
"Just be careful."
"You said before that you would always be able to find me whenever Im in danger."
Shin nodded. "As long as there is water nearby, then it is easy for me to pick up your trail."
Eh, but then— she pointed to the bracelet in her hands. "Do we need this GPS?"
At that comment, she watched as Shin awkwardly looked away. She immediately understood from that action alone. "You don't need an excuse to buy me a present."
"I didn't think you would wear it," Shin admitted.
Why did he think- Sumire paused and sighs. "I know I mess around and joke a lot, and it is a bad habit of mine to tease people. But I was only joking. You don't have to be in a relationship to give girls presents."
To think he remembered a conversation she had with Asuka a long time ago. Back then, she said something along the lines of guys giving presents to girls with bad intentions. It seems like Shin overheard that conversation.
"Then I will bother you a lot," Shin mumbled.
Her gaze softened. "Please do."
He is a lot clumsier than she thought. She looked at the bracelet in her hands. I can imagine it now, him choosing this gift for me. Awkwardly entering a jewelry shop and looking around lost. Getting bombarded by questions from the store clerk.
"Thank you; it's very pretty." The small bracelet with the small water symbol seemed to glow whenever a beam of light hits it.
"Your welcome."
Again another silence. But this time, Sumire didn't mind it. So Shin is a clumsy and awkward guy, huh she could get used to this. She wants to know why he joined the SF instead of the regular police force. Normally people would superpowers would try to hide it. Why would he join a force that makes use of people like him to hunt their kind?
Then again, she doesn't understand this superpower thing very well yet. Before she makes careless remarks, she needs to learn more.
The Black Alice organization and the tale she told Shin not too long ago. If it is exactly like what she thought, then could it be the Queen is- her thoughts broke when Shin suddenly stopped walking. She bumps into his back.
"Shin? What's wrong?"
"We have trouble."
Trouble? Sumire looked over at what he was pointing at and saw something strange. At first, she wasn't sure what she was looking at. It looked like a block, yes, a block of black static.
"Shin.," Sumire mumbled.
Shin extended his hand out and gave her hands a reassuring squeeze. "It will be fine; we need to stay out of the way, though. I wouldn't advise fighting those."
"What is it?" She questioned. To her, it looks like a box of static, but maybe there is something else? For a moment, Sumire thought she got a glimpse of a human figure.
"People."
Sumire paused when she heard that. Huh? What?
"Inside those boxes are humans with evolved abilities. They are going through a process of their powers evolving, that's why they are in the box." Shin explained. "It seems like the person who is in charge of this dream at least has the sense to control them."
"There are people there; we should help them."
Shin grabbed her arm. "Do you want to die?"
"But—"
"The people inside those have unstable abilities. If you were to intervene now, you could get severely hurt or even lose your life."
Is it that serious? But she glanced at the black boxes. She could hear it if she listened carefully, their painful cries. Shin grabbed her wrist and pulled her along, so they walked in the opposite direction. He seemed like he was in a hurry.
"Their range... it shouldn't be that large, but just in case." Shin increased his footsteps.
Sumire knew better than to say anything during this situation, so she kept her mouth shut instead. It frustrated her leaving those people behind, but if anything happened to Rus child, she would never forgive herself.
...
Another thing she discovered about Nakara Shin was that he is a fast runner. She thought she was fast, but this person is on an entirely different level than all the others.
"Let's hide out here for a bit," Shin said as he barricades the door with planks of wood.
Sumire slumped to the ground and leaned against the wall. She is more exhausted than she thought she would be.
"We should wait until Yuhi gets here."
"We should?"
Shin nodded. "This terrain suits Yuhi's ability better. That doesn't mean I can't fight here, but it would be difficult." His gaze fell on her. "Rest assured, no matter what happens. I will protect you."
Sumire paused when she heard him say those words. He repeatedly told her that he would protect her, so she should be tired of hearing it by now. But somehow, it felt nice.
This entire time she has been fighting all her battles alone. Nobody ever said such things to her because she was stronger than them. The people in the underground world call her the demon Princess for a reason.
