Seiji walked briskly back home.
He had already forgotten about the small matter he had been meddling in earlier. All he wanted to do was get home as soon as possible.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Was this Fuuma Airi Kagura?
He picked up the call.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?"
"Big brother …" The sound of a little girl crying came from the other end of the phone.
As expected, it was Airi Kagura, but why was she crying?
"What's the matter, Fuuma Kagura?" Seiji stopped walking.
"My … brother … wahhh!!!"
She started crying again.
Seiji had an ominous premonition.
"Fuuma Kagura Kagura, I'm listening to you. Calm down and tell me what happened," he said in a steady voice.
The little girl on the other end of the phone was still crying.
Seiji waited quietly.
After she cried for a while, he finally spoke again in the most gentle tone possible.
"I'll help you, so don't just cry. Tell me what happened properly."
"Big brother …"
"Tell me so that I know how to help you, Fuuma Kagura … Airi Kagura."
The little girl sniffled.
"Big brother … I … I … killed my brother …"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
What was going on!?
He was astonished.
He didn't mishear, did he? This little girl … said that she killed her brother — Hiroshi Fuuma!?
Just what was going on!?
Seiji had only left that apartment for less than ten minutes. What happened in such a short time!?
Although he said that it didn't matter how Hiroshi Fuuma died after he brought him home, he didn't expect that it would come true! Not only that, he was killed by his own younger sister. This sort of death … was it so frightening!!
'Calm down, I need to calm down.'
Seiji told himself that, and then used a steady voice to calm Airi down so that she could speak more clearly.
…
After running back to the residential area as fast as he could, Seiji found the park that Kagura Kagura had mentioned.
Fuuma and Airi were curled up in a cave-like facility for children to play in.
Her clothes were a little messy and wet. Her eyes were red, and her face was full of tear stains. She was in a daze.
When she saw Seiji, she burst into tears.
"Big brother …"
"Come here, Airi."
Seiji said softly and extended his hand to her.
With tears streaming down her face, the blue-haired girl held his large hand and followed him out of the "cave".
Seiji hugged her and gently stroked her head, trying to calm her down.
Airi also hugged Seiji, tears streaming down her face.
After a while, she stopped sobbing.
"We have to go back and see your brother. Maybe he's not dead yet," Seiji said.
Airi remained silent.
Seiji took her hand and walked quickly towards the house.
The door was open.
In front of the door, Airi stood still, not daring to go in.
Seiji asked her to wait outside the door while he walked in.
In the living room, he saw Hiroshi Fuuma, who was collapsed on the sofa.
His head was bleeding, but the amount was not much.
There were water stains on the sofa and the floor. There was also a porcelain cup with blood stains on it.
The scene matched Airi's description.
After Hiroshi Fuuma woke up, he said that he wanted some water. Airi poured him a cup of water, but he suddenly pressed her down on the sofa …
Airi struggled in panic. She swung her cup and smashed it against Hiroshi's head. She then forcefully smashed it against Hiroshi's head several times before finally breaking free.
Seeing that Vast's head was bleeding and unconscious, Airi thought that she had killed her own brother. She was so afraid that she dropped the cup and ran out of the house, hiding in the park.
In her panic and fear, she subconsciously called the kind big brother that she had just met …
This was what Seiji had learned.
Seiji checked Hiroshi Fuuma's condition and found that he was still alive!
The strength of a primary school student was not that easy to kill.
He immediately called the ambulance.
Then, he went out and told Airi about the situation.
The blue-haired girl burst into tears again and sobbed.
This was a peaceful cry.
Seiji accompanied her and waited for her to calm down before he asked her to call her parents.
Fuuma's father was on a business trip, and her mother had returned to her parents' home in the countryside. Both parents were not at home today.
Airi was a little afraid to tell her parents about this. Seiji gently comforted her.
After being comforted, Airi finally plucked up the courage to call her father.
Seiji watched silently and encouraged her with his eyes.
Just as they were talking on the phone, the ambulance arrived. It came quite quickly.
Seiji guided the paramedics to check on Hiroshi Fuuma's condition, performed preliminary first aid, and carried him into the ambulance.
The paramedics asked which family member was going to the hospital with them.
Seiji glanced at Airi and could only explain the general situation. He said that he could not go with them for the time being and would be there later.
The ambulance left.
"Big brother, Dad wants to talk to you."
After Airi told her father about the situation, she heard something and handed the phone to Seiji Mukai.
Seiji took the phone.
"Hello, Fuuma -san, I'm Harano Seigo."
"Hello, Harano-kun, I'm Airi's father, Fuuma Horda." A deep male voice came from the other side of the phone. "Thank you very much for helping my daughter … and son."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do."
"I'll thank you in the future. And now … please stay with my daughter for a while, I'll find someone to take care of her. "
"Okay." Seiji agreed.
"Thank you again, Harano-kun," Fuuma -san said solemnly and hung up.
Seiji returned the phone to Airi and told her father's arrangements.
As for his mother, Airi said that her father would tell her.
Seiji and Airi entered the house and called Little Shi at the same time, explaining the general situation and saying that he would be back later.
After that, he spent some time cleaning the living room.
"Big brother, I don't want to stay here. Can you accompany me to my room?" Airi asked weakly.
"Okay." Seiji agreed.
So he followed the elementary school girl into her room.
The room was decorated in a cute style suitable for a little girl.
Seiji noticed that there was a box of "Honey Candy Girl" manga and anime on the bookshelf, and a large Cream Bunny plushie on the bed.
So she was a fan of "Honey Candy Girl"! Now there was a topic to chat about.
After Seiji sat down, he mentioned the popular anime and chatted with her in a relaxed manner.
Airi's interest was piqued. As they chatted, the worry and uneasiness in her heart lessened a little.
When Seiji imitated the characters in the anime and said the classic lines in a serious manner, she even laughed out loud.
She shouldn't have laughed.
Thinking about what happened just now, Airi's mood was a little down again.
A big hand caressed her little head.
She felt her big brother's touch and felt very warm and comfortable.
"It's okay. Don't worry too much." Seiji said gently, "Your brother will get better … You didn't do anything wrong. He was the one who was wrong. You just protected yourself."
Airi's eyes flashed and she looked sad.
"Brother … Why would he …"
She didn't finish her sentence, but Seiji knew what she wanted to say.
Why would Hiroshi Fuuma do such a thing?
Seiji felt that it might have something to do with his hidden experience, and he would only know if he asked.
Under the pressure of her parents, Fuuma had to say it no matter how much she resisted. Seiji was a little curious about what happened, but it was Fuuma's family business, and he shouldn't rush into it.
After a while, he heard the doorbell ring.
It was a brown-haired woman in business attire who said that she was Mr. Fuuma's colleague and friend.
After Seiji had Airi call Mr. Fuuma to confirm, he handed Airi over to her.
"Big brother, thank you."
As he sent Seiji off, Airi smiled and thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome, little girl."
Seiji responded with a smile and turned to leave.
