When I Was Presumed Dead, They Became Unhinged Unknowingly - Chapter 45

Since I had explained my circumstances to them, they had been sticking to me, and I couldn’t get away for a long time. Finally, Kyoka managed to separate them forcefully.

The individuals themselves were looking at Kyoka with a truly unpleasant expression.

“Satoru, I need to talk with these people now, so could you please leave the room for a moment?”

“Got it. But if anything happens, let me know right away.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

It seems Kyoka intends to talk to them about something, but what could it be? Hopefully, it’s nothing serious.

“Now, we need to have a discussion, but could you stop directing murderous intent towards me for a moment?”

“Impossible. After snatching Satoru away from me, you have the nerve to say that?”

“Taking Onii-chan away on your own and then bossing us around, acting like you understand him, no matter how kind I am, even I would get angry at that.”

Shouko and Sakura stared at Kyoka with sharp eyes as they said that.

“Sigh… Certainly, if someone took Satoru away from me, I’d probably lose my mind and not forgive you guys, but can you somehow calm down? We have to talk about Satoru’s future.”

“Satoru-kun’s future?”

“Yes. Even now that he has revealed everything to you guys, we have to talk about saving Satoru, who still probably wants to die.”

When Kyoka said that, the five of them seemed to calm down.

“So, do you have specific plans for the future? If you try to abduct Satoru again and confine him somewhere, I’ll chase you wherever you go and kill you.”

Karen said it as if it were a normal thing, staring at Kyoka.

The look in Karen’s eyes showed no qualms about killing.

“I won’t do such a thing. Even I still don’t want to die.”

“Then what exactly are you planning to do?”

This time, Misuzu directed the question to Kyoka.

“Before I say that, there’s something I want to ask you.”

“Could you hurry up? I hate having my time with Onii-chan taken away, even if it’s just a second.”

Even though it shouldn’t have been much time since the incident, Sakura said that as if every second spent away from Satoru was precious.

“Sigh… Well, I guess it can’t be helped. So, I’ll say it. Can you promise me that you won’t let go of Satoru, and you’ll never leave him for the rest of your lives, even if it means enduring pain?”

“I can’t imagine letting go of Satoru, and I’ve long been prepared to endure any pain. Even when I heard that Satoru died.”

“Wait, can you stop asking such obvious things?”

“I won’t even consider leaving Onii-chan.”

“I hate even thinking about separating from Satoru-kun.”

“I love Satoru, so I can endure any pain.”

“Of course.”

After hearing their resolute responses, Kyoka, with a determined expression, said, 

“Good. Then, even if the six of us here will spend the rest of our lives together, it’s fine, right? It’s for the sake of not letting Satoru die.” 

The other five reacted with dumbfounded expressions to Kyoka’s words.
