I have pure love with them

The first inappropriate answer made Toyokawa Shoko frown, but the second answer made Toyokawa Shoko straighten her body and look at Quan with sharp eyes.

"You... went to the planetarium?"

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko, whose eyes showed suspicion and sensitivity, he smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I went to the planetarium. When I entered the screening room, I happened to see you and your friends. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't go up to disturb you."

"..."

"When I left the planetarium, I happened to run into someone I knew and chatted with her for a while, so I didn't talk to you after I left the planetarium... But I didn't expect to meet you again on the way back."

Facing Izumi's gaze, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little complicated. When she was in the planetarium, she didn't notice Izumi's existence at all.

"That friend of yours seems to be Mikado Hatsuka from 'sumimi'? Are you close friends?"

After hearing what Quan said, Toyokawa Shoko looked at Quan's face with sharp eyes.

"Why, you don't want to say that you are still a supporter of 'sumimi'?"

325. Imminent Death Danger! Subway Attack!

Quan is naturally not a fan of 'sumimi', but when he heard Toyokawa Shoko talking about this, he instantly remembered that when he first met Toyokawa Shoko, he once said that he was a supporter of 'CRYCHIC'.

Now, when it came out of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth, there was a hint of teasing and mockery in it, which reminded Izumi of the first time she met Toyokawa Shoko, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"There are a lot of promotions for the group 'Sumi' on the streets right now. I can't say I'm a supporter, but I know a little bit about it. As for the idol, Mikado Hatsuka, who was with you just now, does have a nice figure and a beautiful face. She left some impression on me, but I didn't expect you two would know each other."

After hearing Quan's evaluation of Sankaku Hatsuhua, Toyokawa Shoko lowered her eyes slightly. She did not deny that Quan's description was an objective fact, but a trace of irritation still appeared in her heart.

"Everyone knows someone, right? You know Nagasaki Souyo, so is it strange that I know a Sanjiao Chuhua?"

Toyokawa Shoko turned her head to look at Izumi beside her and answered in a calm tone.

"Of course not—"

When Quan was answering Toyokawa Shoko, a rapid exclamation suddenly came from the next carriage, interrupting his speech. Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting next to him, also heard the exclamation from the next carriage. A confused expression appeared on her face and she looked in the direction of the next carriage.

It is currently the peak period of subway operation. Many people in this carriage heard the exclamations from the next carriage. Out of curiosity and instinctive vigilance, everyone looked towards the tunnel.

"what!!"

"Killing people!!"

Before the people in this carriage could see through the through passage what was happening in the next carriage, the people in the next carriage had already run into this carriage with panicked looks on their faces.

"kill?"

When some people heard the screams of these people, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, before they could react, they saw a man in black clothes, holding a bloody dagger, stabbing the pedestrians who had not yet had time to run into the carriage!

In an instant, hysterical screams and fear spread throughout the carriage. The passengers who had been merely observing the situation also desperately ran towards the passage leading to another carriage.

Since they were sitting in the middle of the carriage, both Toyokawa Shoko and Izumi had enough time to react and escape to another carriage before the crazy criminal attacked them. But when Izumi realized what was happening and was about to leave the carriage, he found that Toyokawa Shoko beside him had no intention of standing up at all.

His eyes fell on the girl's face, and he found that this poor young lady who was born into a wealthy family had fallen into a complete daze. She was completely shocked by the scene happening before her and forgot to react as she should.

"..."

Seeing that the man in black was finishing off someone who hadn't had time to run away, Quan, who didn't want to cause any more trouble, reached out and grabbed Toyokawa Shoko's hand.

The moment her hand was held, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but tremble. She came back to her senses in a trance and looked at the person who was holding her hand tightly.

'Thousand...quan...'

The boy didn't look panicked at all, which calmed Toyokawa Shoko's panic a little.

"run!"

In the current situation, there was no time to communicate with the girl who seemed to have come to her senses. She only used one word to succinctly say what needed to be done.

Toyokawa Shoko nodded subconsciously, and let Izumi pull her hand and run towards another carriage.

In the peaceful daily life, Toyokawa Shoko was not the only one who did not react immediately. There were others who were also frightened by the vicious attack of the man in black and did not leave the car immediately. So when Izumi and Toyokawa Shoko ran towards the next car, they soon arrived at the through passage.

But because it was rush hour, people in both carriages suddenly ran towards the next carriage, causing congestion in the carriages. The two men came to the through passage but were stuck in the middle and unable to run to the next carriage.

The man in black who attacked people looked at the passengers stuck in the through passage with a very indifferent expression on his face. He did not seem anxious or crazy at all. Instead, he took out a large bottle from his body and poured it on the passengers who had been stabbed and fallen to the ground.

Quan, who was protecting Toyokawa Shoko in front of him and moving forward little by little while paying attention to the situation, the last scene he saw was a man squatting down and lighting the liquid that was splashed on the injured passengers.

'gasoline……'

As the flames burned and the pungent smell wafted into his nostrils, Quan withdrew his gaze, took Toyokawa Shoko's hand, and ran towards the next carriage with the crowd.

After running through three cars in a row, the subway seemed to have noticed the attack and immediately made an emergency stop and opened the doors of other cars outside the attacker's car to let the passengers leave...

"Are you okay?"

Accompanying Toyokawa Shoko, they successfully left the subway and arrived at a safe area. Looking at the girl whose body was still shaking uncontrollably and who had no sense of security, Quan asked a few questions.

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa folded her arms in front of her, bit her lips tightly, lowered her head and said nothing, unable to recover from the shock she had just received.

"Given her situation, she probably hasn't encountered anything like this before... although I haven't either."

Around the two men, there were many people who had just escaped from the subway, but not many saw the bloody scene up close. Even the only people who actually saw the attacker were those in the two carriages next to the attacker. Therefore, these people did not feel much tension after leaving the subway.

"…I just encountered some accidents, so I may be late to get home."

"Really! I really experienced a subway attack! It was so scary!"

Some were telling their families they were safe, while others were bragging to their friends that they had survived the attack.

"Well!"

"Ok?"

His eyes fell on Toyokawa Shoko again, but the girl suddenly covered her mouth with one hand, but her body couldn't help but lean forward a little.

'It's a stress reaction.'

Quan, who had taught himself some medical knowledge, saw Toyokawa Shoko's reaction and made a judgment in his heart in an instant. He hurriedly walked forward, stretched out his hand in front of her, and attracted her attention.

"Look at me, relax, and take a deep breath."

One hand gently stroked her back while the other hand attracted her attention and helped her calm down.

326. Take a deep breath. It is normal to feel dizzy.

After suddenly being subjected to strong external stimulation or an injury event, the human body will have a non-specific reaction, leading to sympathetic nerve excitement, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms.

Shoko Toyokawa's current condition is a typical symptom of stress response.

Put your hand in front of the other person to attract their attention, and then gently guide them to relax and breathe——

Shoko Toyokawa, who was pale and at a loss at the moment, pursed her lips after hearing Quan's voice, and subconsciously did as Quan instructed. After her body gradually relaxed, she found that the uncomfortable and nauseous feeling gradually subsided.

"feel better now?"

A soft voice whispered into her ears and she looked in the direction it came from and saw Izumi squatting next to her, staring at her.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko, who didn't have the strength to speak, closed her eyes and nodded slightly under Izumi's gaze.

"Can you walk?"

"..."

Without saying anything, the girl shook her head slightly.

"Then take a rest for a while. I'll take you home later."

"..."

Shoko Toyokawa really wanted to refuse, but just as she was about to do so, the scene that happened in the subway suddenly emerged in her mind, causing her to bite her lips instantly. Her body tensed up again, and she was unable to say no to Izumi.

[Shining on me who can't cry]

[The light gently carries me along]

A familiar voice accompanied by a familiar melody suddenly exploded. Shrouded in uneasiness, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head in astonishment and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"…Phone call, sorry."

Hearing the phone ring, Izumi was about to answer the call when he noticed Toyokawa Shoko's gaze towards him. His eyes dropped to his right hand which had already taken out the phone, and he listened to the "Haruhi Kage" that was playing. He met Toyokawa Shoko's gaze, smiled at the girl, and answered the call from Aine.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko withdrew her gaze, squatted in silence, and glanced at the bushes beside her.

"Quan, where are you?"

As soon as the call was connected, Aine's nervous voice rang in Quan's ears.

"I was on my way home. I just happened to run into something. I might be late getting home. What's wrong?"

"I just saw the news that there was an attack on the Odawara Line. You... probably didn't take that train, did you?"

After hearing Quan's voice, Aiyin, who was sitting in the living room watching the news, felt a little relieved, but her brows were still furrowed, worried about Quan's safety.

Although Izumi really wanted to tease Aine, under the circumstances, there was no need to make inappropriate jokes with a sister who was worried about him.

"I'm fine, but the subway to my home has been suspended, so I'll be home a little later."

"Mom is home, do you need her to pick you up?"

Chihaya's family has a private car. Although normally, Izumi and Aine rarely go out in the family car, but now that the subway has stopped running, Aine thinks that Izumi may need someone in his family to pick him up and take him home.

Glancing at Toyokawa Shoko who was squatting next to him, Izumi rejected Aine's kindness.

"No, it's not a long distance, just think of it as exercise."

"Then, I'll wait for you at home."

"Ah."

After assuring her family that she was fine, relieved Aine hung up the phone, while Quan looked at the phone and slowly put it back in his pocket.

"Why... don't you let your family come pick you up?"
