Chapter 143 Best Friend
Before Hoshino Hitomi could continue speaking, her eyes blurred and she saw Matsuda Jinpei took a step forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Hoshino Hitomi was so shocked by the other party's sudden action that she stood there in a daze. Before she could react, she felt the other party's warm hand awkwardly on her back.
She couldn't see the other person's expression, she could only feel his hands and even his entire body trembling slightly.
He moved very gently, for fear of hurting the precious treasure in his arms that seemed to break at the slightest touch.
Jinpei Matsuda clumsily stroked the girl in his arms, like a panicked big clumsy bear who wanted to comfort her but didn't know how.
His eye sockets were slightly red, like two crystal indigo gems, flickering with a faint light, and tears were looming in the corners of his eyes, as if they would burst out at any time.
His voice was low and hoarse, as if it had been polished by sandpaper, and every word was filled with endless sadness.
"I'm sorry, Xiaotong..."
When Hoshino Hitomi heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. She didn't understand why the other party suddenly apologized to her.
"I didn't mean to bring up that sad memory for you, I'm sorry."
"If you are angry or sad, you can hit me or scold me, I won't complain."
Hoshino Hitomi was silent for a moment, then chuckled with an ambiguous meaning, and ruthlessly pushed away Matsuda Jinpei who was hugging her.
The corner of Hoshino Hitomi's mouth twitched slightly, and she cursed lightly, the tone of her voice was like a feather falling gently, without any lethality at all.
"Being sad and blaming yourself for someone who doesn't matter to you, I think you're more of an idiot than I am."
Matsuda Jinpei felt the warmth in his arms retreat away, his eyes darkened instantly, and he felt empty inside.
It was obvious that the girl's curse words did not have much lethality, and could even be said to be harmless.
But to him, it was like an extremely sharp sword, mercilessly piercing his heart, deeply hurting every nerve in his body, and making it impossible for him to breathe.
"You are not some insignificant person, but...a close friend we have known for more than ten years."
When Jinpei Matsuda was halfway through his speech, he paused and immediately changed his words. The sentence "the person I have liked for more than ten years" was ultimately not uttered.
When Hoshino Hitomi heard this, her expression changed unpredictably. She pursed her lips slightly, then sneered and said in a deep voice:
"Best friends you've known for more than ten years? Don't get it wrong. The people around you are your best friends. After all, you and I are not the same kind of people, and it's impossible for us to be friends. You'd better wake up and give up this idea."
As soon as the words came out, Hoshino Hitomi clearly felt the aura of these people become heavy and depressing, and her face gradually became gloomy, but there was no sound of a decrease in favorability.
[Are they all ninjas? Is there anything they can't endure? ]
Xiao Yi hesitated for a while before speaking: [In fact, their favorability should be decreasing, but the favorability is fluctuating a lot, so it cannot be detected for the time being.]
When Hoshino Hitomi heard this, she suddenly realized: [It seems that the intensity of my abuse of them was not enough to wake them up.]
"Hitomi-chan, isn't that a bit too much... Didn't you admit before that we are your friends?"
Kenji Hagiwara's voice suddenly became a little gloomy and low as he stopped smiling.
The corners of Hoshino Hitomi's mouth curved slightly, and she raised her eyebrows with a hint of indifference in her eyes:
"You also said that it's all in the past, right? Time changes everything, and so do people. To me, friendship is nothing but an illusory thing. I don't need any friends at all."
"What's more, from the very beginning when I took the initiative to approach you, I already had some ulterior motives. All of this is just a conspiracy that I carefully planned..."
Xiaoyi: [Hagihara Kenji's favorability -10]
Xiaoyi: [Matsuda Jinpei’s favorability -10]
Xiaoyi: [Matsuda Jinpei’s favorability -10]
...
Listening to the series of reports about the decline in the favorability between the two, Hoshino Hitomi's eyes flickered slightly, and it seemed as if a little bird was cheering in her heart.
[It’s finally here! I’ve been waiting for this moment! ]
Jinpei Matsuda's face became extremely gloomy, as if covered by a thick dark cloud.
His face was distorted, flames of anger burst out of his eyes, seeming to burn all the air around him. The veins on his neck were bulging, and his eyes were so red that they seemed about to bleed.
"I do not believe……"
"You must be lying again?!"
His voice was low and hoarse, full of doubt and distrust, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
There was no sign of fear on Hoshino Hitomi's face. She smiled sarcastically and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'll leave first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hoshino Hitomi used one foot to perform light skills to separate herself from the four people, used a mechanical grappling hook to hook a branch, and then prepared to fly to a tree that was about ten meters high.
Fōtani Rei's eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in them.
His body was as fast as lightning, and he ran away like a cheetah. Then he suddenly jumped up.
In the air, he stretched out his arms and accurately grabbed Hoshino Hitomi's ankle with one hand, which was so thin that it seemed like it would break if bent.
This series of actions was so quick and lightning-fast that it was dazzling.
Hoshino Hitomi was startled when her ankle was grabbed, and felt a powerful force binding her tightly. She wanted to struggle, but found that she could not move at all.
The two of them flew up the tree in a flash, and when they were about to hit the trunk, Hoshino Hitomi unleashed the mechanical grappling hook in time and then firmly grasped the branch with her right hand.
Hoshino Hitomi only felt the pain from her right arm sweeping through her body like a tide. Her face instantly turned pale as paper, and a few beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead, like crystal pearls.
Hoshino Hitomi couldn't help but curse in her heart: [Damn, it hurts so much! My arm was shot not long ago, and now the injury is getting worse.]
Fortunately, Furiya Rei still had some conscience and did not grab her injured left foot, but grabbed her right ankle. Otherwise, she would be in so much pain that she could have died.
Hoshino Hitomi lowered her eyes and looked down, and found that the two of them were now at least ten meters above the ground.
It doesn't matter if she falls down, at least she has Fōtani Rei to act as her cushion, and at worst she still has the skill of lightness skill.
However, if Fūya Rei falls from this height, he will be injured to some extent. Although he will not die, he will definitely suffer serious fractures and need to be hospitalized.
Hoshino Hitomi frowned and asked in a cold voice: "Are you crazy, you bastard?!"
Fūya Rei coldly retorted: "You are the one who is crazy. Do you think you are an iron man?"
"If you don't receive prompt treatment for your injuries, they will leave permanent sequelae. You clearly know that your arms and left leg are seriously injured, but you still use such dangerous tools to perform such difficult movements. This will undoubtedly make your injuries worse."
"You're not planning to run home alone and heal yourself, are you? If you run home with your current injuries, you'll probably faint halfway through in less than five minutes. And the bleeding hasn't stopped yet. By then, you'll have run out of blood and died of shock."
Hoshino Hitomi's expression suddenly became a little guilty, her eyes dodged as if she wanted to hide something, but she still refused to give in, and responded with a little ferocity:
"What does my life and death have to do with you? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to meddle in my affairs?"
Hoshino Hitomi's tone became increasingly fierce, as if she wanted to completely shock the other party.
In fact, when her cold and sharp words are matched with her clear and pleasant voice, the whole person instantly becomes harmless and even makes people feel good about her.
However, it is not known which of her words touched the sensitive spot deep in Fūya Rei's heart.
The broad palm that was originally tightly grasping her ankle began to slowly close. At the same time, an extremely hot breath was transmitted continuously through his palm.
Although there was a thick layer of leather boot fabric in between, she could still feel the strange heat very clearly, as if a blazing fire was spreading close to her skin.

(Tips: When the favorability of the target decreases, it does not actually mean that the favorability towards the heroine decreases, but it is similar to providing negative emotional value)
