Although the girl really wanted to find the person who had saved her life, she knew it would all come down to luck.
She hoped she and her savior would have a chance to meet again.
Of course.
When that time came, she really hoped she'd recognize the person who had saved her.
Otherwise, they might pass each other by... or something...
That would be so frustrating.
"I was wondering..."
"Did I miss some kind of sound just now...?"
The girl rubbed her ears.
After all, she'd shouted pretty loudly just now.
But by the time she shouted, she'd already gotten into trouble...
"What sound?"
The boy looked completely puzzled.
"What?"
"Oh, right."
The girl lowered her hand from her ear.
"Didn't I say earlier that I heard a voice telling me I was about to have bad luck?"
"And then I really did have bad luck."
"I was just wondering..."
The girl glanced around.
"Did that voice warn me this time, too?"
This time, she'd had spectacularly bad luck.
No.
She'd faced a serious crisis.
So, could that voice have appeared beforehand, too?
And she just hadn't noticed?
"Huh?"

He didn't really understand what she was so hung up on.
It was just some inexplicable remark.
Though it seemed to have coincidentally matched what happened to her afterward...
A coincidence was still just a coincidence.
There was no point thinking too much about it.
Besides...
A lot of things didn't hold up
