"... There's no other way,
We can only wait for her to wake up. "After checking the girl's injuries, Su Yu made such a decision.
There was no need to say much about the specific injuries. Even if she took good care of them, there might be sequelae in the future. The girl lying on the bed like a broken doll,
Made Kyōko shed a fierce tear and took the initiative to take care of the patient.
Even though she had used a healing potion that could instantly heal external injuries, hard injuries like bone fractures could not be healed immediately.
Moreover, the girl's mental injuries seemed to be far more serious than her physical injuries. Even in a deep coma, she would suddenly tremble all over.
She did not know what terrible things she had dreamed of.
Although there were props that could forcefully wake the girl up, in the miserable state of the person on the bed and Kyōko's unbearable gaze,
Su Yu still silently gave up on this plan.
The small space that was disconnected from the outside world was so quiet that it was suffocating.
Su Yu hadn't returned yet.
The CD player here was playing the movies that she was already tired of, but when she came back, it was already too late.
This habit stopped.
Not only did she have a seriously injured patient to take care of, but her life was also enriched.
It was also because she knew that she was in this space with her.
As long as she had such knowledge,
It would make people feel at ease.
The patient was completely taken over by Kyōko.
Su Yu had no choice but to tidy up this small space that she had not seen for a long time.
The small front hall was tidied up in an instant.
There was nothing to tidy up in the back hall where the two of them lived.
When she was free, she naturally fell into a daze again.
Life back in the shop was not as relaxed as she had imagined. Vivian's condition was not ideal, and the iron ring on her hand had not been removed. Moreover, there was still a Culolo outside the shop. He would definitely not let her off so easily.
Su Yu couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle at the thought of the man's last look. She had a feeling that things wouldn't end so easily. However, when she thought of the man still waiting for her outside, concentrating on catching her, she suddenly felt that it would be better if things didn't end like this.
She had stored a lot of items that she was used to using in her dimensional pocket. If all of them were converted into lifespan, they would probably be thousands of years old. Not to mention what she would do if she lost them, it would cost her a lot to make up for it. If she still wanted to support the recovery of Mary Sue's goods, she would have to find a way to recover this huge loss.
Come to think of it, that man was really a thief.
Su Yu pursed her lips and threw the paper ball in her hand onto the table. She paused for a moment and then remembered that this little habit of hers was developed to annoy him.
She awkwardly got up to dispose of the garbage she created. Then, she threw her head back on the sofa. Her fingers could not help but touch the scabbing wound at the corner of her eye.
It was still quite painful. If he had used a little more force, he would have been able to penetrate her thin eyelids and take away her light.

Vivian woke up three days after coming to the shop.
Although her throat was still hoarse and painful, it was much better than before when she couldn't make a sound. The festering scars on her body had been properly treated. Although it was dark outside the window, the quilt had the smell of sunshine.
This was an unfamiliar environment, but it was also reassuring. Vivian lay on the bed in a daze for a long time before she heard footsteps coming in.
"… At this rate, I won't be able to keep up with my nutrition. But it's still a critical period. I don't know when I can go outside …" The girl's soft and gentle voice sounded indescribably pleasant. Just by listening to her tone, one would think that she was a very cute little girl. There seemed to be the sound of bowls and plates clinking.
Vivian slowed her breathing and controlled her condition. It was no different from being unconscious. The girl's footsteps did not sound orderly. Even if she tried to stabilize the plates, she could hear the glass trembling. It seemed that no matter how she judged it, she was just an ordinary person who had not undergone any training …
When the glass shattered on the ground, Su Yu instantly kicked open the door and rushed in. The girl on the bed was completely awake. Although one of her shoulders was still injured, the fingers of her left hand were stretched straight and pressed against the brown-haired girl's slender and weak neck. As long as the tender skin was slightly pricked, bright red blood would immediately gush out.
Su Yu steadily held the wooden gun in her hand. Her delicate face that lacked human emotions was frozen. The wooden gun accurately pointed at Vivian's head. Even with the protection of her telekinesis, Vivian had no doubt that the gun could penetrate her defense and explode her head.
After all, this person had no lack of magical items.
"Do you know what you're doing, Vivian?" The temperature in her voice dropped to the lowest point. This made Vivian even suspect that the comforting words she heard before she fainted came from her mouth. "I can save you from that damned place, and I can also put you in an even scarier place."
"… Su Yu, Mr. Store Manager." Vivian's scarlet eyes flashed with a hint of complexity. The Meteor Street blood that had been rooted in her bones for more than ten years made it impossible for her to relax. However, she still moved her left hand a little to show her sincerity. "I didn't realize it during the Hunter Exam. After all, even I didn't expect Mr. Store Manager to walk out of this shop."
Su Yu remained silent in front of her. To be honest, she did not expect the current situation. She did not expect this scarred girl to be so aggressive. At the very least, she thought it would only be a little unpleasant. She did not expect the girl to take Kyōko hostage and escalate the situation into a confrontation.
But now that the arrow was on the bow, Su Yu had no choice but to use the momentum that he had cultivated during his confrontation with Ku Luoluo. He forcefully took two steps forward and said, "There's no need for pleasantries. Let go of Jingzi and we'll talk about other things."
It seemed that the girl's tough attitude made her even more nervous. Vivian's hand involuntarily tightened. At that moment, the girl that she was holding hostage said, "Su Yu … I'm fine. Everyone, don't be nervous. Um … I remember your name is Vivian, right?"
The girl's gentle voice seemed to calm the tense atmosphere. In her patient explanation, the two confronting people gradually lowered their posture, and Vivian's hand gradually moved away from her fatal place.
However, Su Yu's guilt towards Vivian was quickly erased by her action. She put away her weapon and left the room for the time being. She stood quietly by the wall and no longer took the initiative to speak.
The door wasn't closed, and the girl's soothing voice could be heard clearly by his ears.
She could not be as gentle and tenacious as Kyōko. Whether it was to Vivian or Iori, once someone really reached out their claws to the people around her, she would become irritable as if someone had touched her reverse scale. At this time, if Kyōko was not sitting by the bed and constantly comforting the nervous girl, she might have thrown her out.
But Kyōko was right to do this.
Su Yu silently made another note in her heart.
When Vivian's mood seemed to have calmed down, Su Yu turned and walked into the room. She stood by the bed and looked at the girl wrapped in the quilt. When she saw the big and small bruises on her face, she wanted to warn her again.
"… Do you understand the situation now?" Su Yu was referring to the situation in the outside world. This was something that Kyōko could not explain to her. "Although I don't know much, I should be able to answer some of your doubts."
Her tone was still a little stiff, but Vivian did not mind at all. Her eyes darkened, and she glanced at her vigilantly. Then she hesitantly asked, "You … What is the relationship between you and Culolo?"
The first question was actually this. Vivian also felt very awkward, but she couldn't get rid of the habit of paying more attention to that man than herself. Even after he betrayed her, she still couldn't help but think about him.
If she had to ask why, that man was her faith.
He was the light that she followed in the white night.
Helpless against her innate nature, Vivian closed her eyes and waited for the girl's answer.
At this time, Su Yu's mood was very complicated.
She really wanted to say that she had nothing to do with that man, but she couldn't bring herself to say such an irresponsible thing. If it weren't for her rationality restraining her from running away, the two of them wouldn't have stopped kissing that night. What would have happened next was self-evident, but it wasn't right to say that they were lovers.
Even though they had lived together intimately, their hearts had never gotten closer.
He planned to restrain her, and she planned to escape from him.
"He …" Su Yu hesitated. "He is my …"
His body temperature did not seem to have cooled down, and his breath seemed to be at the tip of her nose.
But the scar at the corner of her eye was also aching.
"… Let's not ask this question for now." The girl waved her hand in a seemingly generous manner and quickly skipped the topic. "Can you ask something more meaningful? You should know that he sold you to the Ten Geezers and …"
Before she finished speaking, her wrist hanging by her side was suddenly grasped tightly. Su Yu frowned subconsciously. The place where she grasped was exactly where the metal ring was, so although she could feel that she used a lot of strength, it was not very painful.
The girl in front of her stared at her with her scarlet eyes, her gaze uncontrollably revealing a trace of icy jealousy. She seemed to be trying her best to restrain herself, but she still couldn't stop herself from asking, "He … Have you fallen for him?"
Kyōko widened her eyes in surprise. She did not have time to listen to Su Yu's experience during this period of time. Now that she suddenly heard such a shocking news, she could not help but look at the girl with surprise and curiosity.
The girl, who was stared at by the two of them, stiffened. She opened her mouth and asked, "… Why do you care so much? Even if so many things have happened, do you still like him?"
Vivian smiled bitterly. She let go of Su Yu's hand and fell backward. "Oh, why did all this happen … Why? I didn't want it to happen …" She mumbled, "Why did it happen? I didn't want it to happen …" Su Yu's face was pale.
"But I just can't forget that damn person!!"
As if suddenly exploding, the girl lost control and screamed. Her hands clutched the quilt so tightly that she could almost hear the sound of the threads breaking. But this could not stop her from breaking down. "Why … Why?
Why? I've been by his side for so many years. What haven't I experienced? I've been in so many tragic situations at Meteor Street. Haven't I done enough for him? What do I have to do to make him believe me? "The girl's screams gradually turned into wails. Her tears fell on the white quilt, forming small flowers." Why did he abandon me? I don't understand … "
Su Yu was stunned for a moment. She looked at the girl's bandaged hands tightly clutching the quilt as if her heart was being ruthlessly squeezed. The few months of torture had caused the girl to become so thin that even her struggling posture had become weak.
She couldn't imagine how he had chosen Meteor Street with the courage to fight with his back to the wall. She couldn't imagine how he had made her grow up in the past ten years. The only thing she could be sure of was that the man had given her great courage in the past, and now she had completely lost it.
Recalling the man's clear and calm eyes, Su Yu's lips trembled. Before she could think carefully, the words had already come out of her mouth. "… You've been by his side for ten years. Have you really seen through him?"
Have you really seen through that man's cold and hard outer shell?
That's not a man who can be influenced by time.
Vivian in front of her turned a deaf ear to her words and continued to cry like a stray dog. Following her cries, Su Yu only felt that the clues in her mind had connected into a line. She took a deep breath and spoke again without hesitation. "Have you really conveyed your feelings to him? You should know better than me what kind of person he is. How could you not see through those little thoughts …"
If that was the case, the Hunter Exam would not have provoked these unrelated people, including the entire exam. In fact, it was actually unnecessary.
What kind of person was that man? Was his possessiveness and suspicion not obvious enough? Which of his trusted companions did not belong to another exploration team other than the exploration team? But Vivian, she wanted to hold on to too much.
Su Yu did not know if Culolo had ever had feelings for the girl in front of her. She did not even know if he was aware of all these silent sacrifices, but she was sure of one thing.
He did not believe in her feelings at all.
Things that were obtained too easily would also be lost easily. Things that were too passionate would also quickly cool down. If he did not break her wings and encircle her in his arms, would he be able to truly feel at ease?
She did not know how to describe it, but Su Yu felt that he was that kind of person. Even though they had only known each other for a few months, she felt that she could remember the man's tone when he spoke. His slightly curved lips, his clear and innocent eyes, his hands holding the pen, and his natural 'evil'.
Pure evil.
That was the only impression he left on her.
Su Yu suddenly felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. It was as if his breath was blowing in her ear again. She stood still and bit her lower lip. Finally, she turned around and left the room.
