Before he could hear Bastion's muffled "It's okay, you're welcome, don't mind me," the shortie started running again with Sada chasing after her.
This time, with experience, he didn't plan to squeeze into the crowd anymore. Instead, he took the stairs and ran out.
Looking back at the vicious Sada, his short legs kicked even harder. It was only because of the commotion in the theater that no one noticed the chase behind him.
If he had been a little suspicious before, now that he saw the shortie running on the street, Sada was certain that it was her!
"So what if you have long legs?"
Angrily looking behind him, the shortie kicked over the pile of junk in the alley. They were all old things that might have been placed there temporarily to be scrapped after a while.
"Clang!"
Suddenly stopping, Sada was almost hit by the falling junk.
The shortie behind the junk chuckled as if her plan had succeeded. If it wasn't for the fact that she was afraid of exposing her identity, she would probably have turned around and made a face.
"You want to catch me?
Go eat your fart! "
The shortie ran forward with small, relaxed steps. However, the relaxed steps didn't last for long. Her forward steps turned into swaying in the air.
The one and a half meter tall little fellow was picked up by someone and lifted into the air like a crane, his feet off the ground.
Her feet left the ground. Unfortunately, her intelligence wasn't high enough.
"I've caught you."
Misa, who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, had a cold expression on her face as she extended her arms. Crane!
What great strength.
Misa grabbed the shortie's collar with one hand and lifted her up as if she was lifting a small basket in a supermarket.
Her strength was great, and her expression was relaxed. It was as if she was grabbing a ball of cotton.
She raised it high above her head, and there was not the slightest bit of mercy in her eyes.
If she was holding an enemy in her hands, the moment she lifted the enemy up, the bone spikes on Misa's body would have already brazenly attacked, tearing apart the enemy's joints and ruthlessly piercing the internal organs with her bone blades.
At that time, groups of 'people' would appear on the ground.
However …
Misa's beautiful eyebrows furrowed as she looked at the 'enemy' in front of her. "Who are you?"
"I-I'm Kanna Okumura!"
As he bared his fangs and brandished his claws, a small face appeared under the hood.
She had a young face, a baby's head, and a short body. She was a complete little girl in the first or second grade of middle school.
"Bang!"
After pushing away the garbage, Sada finally caught up. "Did you catch it?
This guy … "
She was first surprised by Misa's strength, then she frowned like Misa.
Is this the person who gave us the curse letter?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.
"I'm Kanna Okumura!"
As if a single sentence wasn't enough, Kanna Okumura repeated her name again, as if repeating it twice would be enough for everyone to understand her identity.
Who was Kanna Okumura?
Sada dared to use her intelligent brain to guarantee that she definitely didn't know anyone named Kanna Okumura. In fact, she didn't even remember knowing anyone with the surname Okumura.
Why would Kanna Okumura stuff a curse letter at a wine club when they had never met before and had no grudges against each other?
After exchanging glances with each other, Misa dragged Kanna Okumura to a dark corner of the alleyway.
She was familiar with this type of work. She had dragged others into alleyways and killed them countless times. However, since her friend was right behind her, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to kill them.
"I …" Kanna Okumura avoided Misa's gaze, but she couldn't help but remain silent in this dangerous situation.
"Speak!"
Sada took two steps forward aggressively, causing Kanna Okumura to tremble in fear. "Why did you give the curse letter to someone else!?"
"I, I, I'll speak!"
Kanna Okumura stuttered as she was being pressured by Seiji's aura. "Yes, I did, but I had my reasons."
Kanna Okumura was quite straightforward and didn't try to defend herself.
She had a standard attitude of admitting her mistake and was determined not to change her ways.
"What's the reason?"
Mai Sada's expression was still as stern as ever. However, his brain, which had been trained by various variety shows and television dramas, was already working furiously to come up with a bunch of reasons for Kanna Okumura's actions.
For example, she was forced to write the curse letter, or perhaps the curse letter was actually some kind of boring game — if you didn't pass the curse letter to the next person, then the curse would take effect on you. This boring internet meme had recently become popular on social media.
There were even many conflicts that went on the news because of this. It was as if the person who had been cursed was having an offline brawl with the other person.
However, no matter what the reason was, Sada didn't intend to forgive this person, even if she was a girl of the same grade. Stalking someone was too despicable of her!
Kanna Okumura's performance would determine whether she would be sent to the police station or handed over to the school!
"Because of me, because of me …" Kanna Okumura stammered as she glanced at Misa, who had just lifted her up.
"Because I was jealous!"
"Hmm?"
"What?"
What the hell was jealousy?
Mai Sada's serious expression became blank as she pondered over the meaning of Kanna Okumura's words.
Jealous of what?
Height?
Long legs?
These were the only reasons that Mai Sada could think of for jealousy. That's right, if he really had to pick one, there was also her beauty, which was probably one of the reasons.
But was she going to give her a curse letter just because of such a small matter?
It wasn't like an all-girls school would get jealous over a girl's beauty, so he couldn't think of anything to be jealous of.
"Because I like Mochizuki Misa, and I'm jealous and envious of the two of you being so close to Mochizuki.
That's why I thought of using a curse letter to make you two annoying fellows stay away from Misa!
"Mochizuki, I like you!!"
Kanna Okumura turned around and said the last sentence directly to Misa. She used so much strength that it seemed like she was using up all her energy.
Miyuki Kahara finally realized what was going on and ran over. She didn't hear the previous part of the story, so she only heard Kanna Okumura's confession.
However, this was enough. Sada's expression was exactly the same as Miyuki's. Even though Sada had heard everything from the beginning to the end, he was still astonished by the sudden turn of events.
"What!" Miyuki Kahara covered her mouth as she stared at the scene in disbelief.
Her little head was first filled with shock, then she pursed her lips into a "W" shape, and her eyes became as wide as a wild cat's.
This was the expression she had when she heard about gossip!
Big news, big news.
Miyuki's radar of gossip instantly activated, and her eyes wandered between Kanna Okumura and Misa.
His small eyes were quick-witted as he asked Sada what was going on in the field.
Unfortunately, even Misa herself didn't know what was going on, not to mention answering Miyuki's questions.
As for who was the most confused, Mesa was the undisputed number one. Someone had confessed to her?
And it was a girl from the same year?
