"Ah!" Uchiha Hikaru suddenly sighed inwardly. When he turned to look at Akane Shizuku, he caught sight of the spring scenery before him. His face reddened, and he hurriedly pulled the white Shinigami uniform up.
The sunlight was just right—warm but not scorching, like the blazing sun in winter, bringing warmth without making one feel unbearably hot.
A complicated look appeared in Uchiha Hikaru's eyes. Was it pity, confusion, or perhaps affection?
After crying bitterly for a while, Akane Shizuku raised her head and met Uchiha Hikaru's eyes. "I thought you wouldn't come save me."
"I thought you'd been lying to me all along!"
Uchiha Hikaru awkwardly opened his mouth. "How could I not come save you?" Right now, he did not dare meet Akane Shizuku's gaze at all!
Her eyes were so pure, so gentle, completely unlike the fierce impression she had given him when they first met! She was so obedient that he could not help wanting to pull her tightly into his arms!
"Ah!" Only then did Akane Shizuku realize that, aside from Uchiha Hikaru's white Shinigami uniform cloak, she was wearing nothing at all.
Her face instantly flushed crimson, and she leaped down from Uchiha Hikaru.
But whether from excessive nervousness or embarrassment, she failed to steady herself or use her power the instant she jumped down.
She fell straight down. The wind lifted the white Shinigami uniform, and Akane Shizuku felt a chill sweep across her body as she cried out loudly!!!
"Don't look!!!"
Uchiha Hikaru turned his head away, then suddenly realized that she would get hurt if she fell straight down like that!
He shook his head helplessly at the fact that Akane Shizuku was nearly at the ground and still had not reacted.
He dove downward and shot straight toward Akane Shizuku.
