Perhaps everyone thought that she was with Fujita Maiko and had gone back home safely?
Various pessimistic thoughts, like venomous snakes, coiled around her heart.
Is anyone there...?
"Please save me..." Sato Miwako tried to call out again, but her voice was so weak that she could barely hear it herself, and it was instantly swallowed up by the sound of the wind and rain.
Sato Miwako tried to push herself up with her hands, hoping to stand up on one leg and at least find a better place to shelter from the rain.
But with the slightest movement, a tearing pain shot through my ankle.
This completely exhausted her, causing her to collapse back into the mud.
The cold, muddy water soaked through my clothes, bringing an even deeper chill.
Her consciousness began to blur, and the cold and pain had drained a lot of her energy.
Sato Miwako seemed to see lights flashing in the distance and hear footsteps approaching.
But when Miwako Sato strained her eyes and listened intently, she discovered that it was just her hallucination.
Hope was ignited time and time again, only to be shattered again and again, leaving only ever-deepening weariness and despair.
"Could it be... that this is where it will end..."
A terrible thought popped into her mind, and Miwako Sato shook her head violently, trying to dispel it.
But my body heat is gradually being lost, and my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.
Miwako Sato hugged herself tightly, burying her face in her knees, trying to draw a little warmth, but to little avail.
Loneliness and fear overwhelmed her like a tide.
From the beginning until now, almost all the routes have been checked for me by Takada-senpai.
I've always been relying on him...
But now, when he's not around, I've become like this.
I'm sorry, Takada-senpai.
sorry……
Just then, Sato Miwako heard a shaking sound coming from the nearby woods.
She slightly raised her head and excitedly cried out, "Takada-senpai..."
"Hmm?" Turning her head, she saw another familiar woman. "You're Fujita Maiko..."
Is it an illusion?
still……?
With her last ounce of strength, Sato Miwako raised her head and called out hoarsely in the direction the voice came from, "...Here...I'm here!"
She dared not have too much hope, for fear of being disappointed again.
However, this time, a response has arrived!
The footsteps grew clearer, the sound of footsteps crunching on fallen leaves and mud growing closer, accompanied by a somewhat familiar female voice: "Is that Sato-senpai? Answer me! Where are you?"
It's Maiko Fujita!
An indescribable surge of excitement and relief instantly overwhelmed Sato Miwako's mental defenses, and tears mingled with the rain as they streamed down her cheeks.
“Fujita Maiko… I’m here! Under the tree!” Sato Miwako cried out almost in tears.
The beam of the flashlight pierced the darkness, forming a swaying pillar of light in the rain, and finally locked onto Miwako Sato, who was huddled under the tree roots.
"Great, I've finally found you, Sato-senpai."
"Thank goodness you're safe and sound!" Fujita Maiko's voice was filled with surprise and relief.
She rushed over quickly, her clothes as soaked as Sato's, looking quite disheveled, but her eyes were unusually bright and determined.
"Sato-senpai! Are you alright?" Fujita Maiko crouched down and quickly shone her flashlight on Sato Miwako, immediately noticing her pale face and unnatural posture. "Your foot?"
"I...I twisted it..." Sato Miwako's voice trembled as she grabbed Fujita Maiko's arm as if it were a lifeline. "I lost my phone too...I'm so sorry for causing you trouble..."
"Stop talking about this now!" Fujita Maiko interrupted her, her tone decisive. "Can you stand up? We have to leave here immediately; your body temperature is too low!"
With Fujita Maiko's help, Sato Miwako endured the excruciating pain and managed to stand up on one leg, leaning most of her weight on her.
Although Fujita Maiko wasn't very tall, she seemed exceptionally reliable at that moment.
“I’ll try to carry you for a while. We’ll figure out another way when the road ahead is easier,” Fujita Maiko said, adjusting her posture as she tried to carry Sato Miwako on her back.
"No...no need, it's too heavy..." Sato Miwako weakly refused.
"Don't push yourself, Sato-senpai!" Fujita Maiko's tone was firm and unwavering. "This rain isn't going to stop anytime soon, we have to get back as soon as possible! Hold on to me!"
Sensing the strength and determination in Fujita Maiko's words, Sato Miwako no longer objected and allowed the other to carry her on her back.
Fujita Maiko's steps were a little unsteady, but each step was very steady.
Nestled against Fujita Maiko's not-so-broad back, Sato Miwako felt a long-lost warmth and sense of security. The ice of despair finally began to shatter at that moment.
"Thank you... thank you for finding me, Fujita Maiko..." Sato Miwako buried her face in Fujita Maiko's shoulder, her voice choked with emotion.
"Sorry, we got separated earlier, and I almost got lost too."
"I'm panting," Fujita Maiko said as she carefully made her way forward.
"Later I remembered there was a small, slightly higher mound in this area that might offer a better view, so I tried climbing up and shining my flashlight around. I think I saw a reflection under the trees here, and I guessed it might be you, so I came over to try my luck... Luckily... luckily I came."
Her tone also carried a lingering fear.
"There's a pavilion not far away; let's go there and rest for a bit."
The two struggled forward in the wind and rain, with Fujita Maiko frequently talking to Sato Miwako to prevent her from losing consciousness.
"Hang in there, Sato-senpai, we'll be there soon. Takada-senpai and Yumi must be worried too..."
After a short while, the two finally arrived at the pavilion.
Chapter 130 Yumi Miyamoto's Heart Flutter
After a quick clean-up, Fujita Maiko quickly dialed Miyamoto Yumi's number. "Yes, we'll go back once the rain subsides."
"I'm sorry to have troubled you." After hanging up the phone, Fujita Maiko made a call to the other club members to let them know she was safe.
Sato Miwako looked at Fujita Maiko in front of her. Despite her ankle being a little uncomfortable, she still managed to stand up and said to the other woman, "Fujita Maiko, thank you."
After putting down her phone, Fujita Maiko turned around and glanced at her. "Sato-senpai, have you calmed down?"
“Fujita Maiko…” Sato Miwako bowed and thanked her respectfully, “I’m so sorry to have troubled you.”
"It's all my fault for the person in front of me running around like that."
"It's alright." Fujita Maiko said gently, her eyes filled with tenderness. "I didn't even notice you disappeared all of a sudden. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
Listen, Sato Miwako finally decided to sit down, and Fujita Maiko also sat down.
“And…” Fujita Maiko gently closed her eyes and said softly:
"I'm sorry, I'm not the Takada-senpai you're talking about."
"Hmm?" Sato Miwako's face immediately tensed up as she looked at Fujita Maiko.
However, in that brief moment of silence, Fujita Maiko suddenly clutched her stomach and burst into laughter, "You...you have to make such an exaggerated expression!"
"No, that's not it!" Sato Miwako's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly explained, "It's because..."
Seeing that the other person was still laughing, Sato Miwako said anxiously, "Listen to me, stop laughing, Fujita Maiko."
"I'm sorry," Fujita Maiko said, her head bowed, still with a slight smile, "because your reaction was just too much."
“I understand, it’s Takada Yuuki, right?” After saying that, Fujita Maiko stared intently at Sato Miwako.
“It has nothing to do with Takada-senpai,” Sato Miwako tried to explain.
Fujita Maiko said, "Your face is super red right now, so you're not convincing at all."
"No," Sato Miwako desperately explained, "Listen to me, what I actually like is..."
"Alright, even if you didn't say anything, I can roughly guess who you're interested in, Sato-senpai." Fujita Maiko said calmly, "However, I'm a little tired right now."
……
hateful!
The rain is getting heavier!
Looking at the heavy rain in front of him, Yuuki Takada became increasingly anxious.
"Takada-senpai!"
Suddenly, Yuuki Takada heard a familiar voice calling from behind him.
Suddenly, Miyamoto Yumi appeared, holding an umbrella in her right hand and another in her other hand, and quickly walked towards them.
"Really!" Miyamoto Yumi said breathlessly, "Takada-senpai, I've been looking for you for so long."
“Yumi…” Miyamoto Yumi, holding an umbrella, immediately said to Takada Yuki, “Um… I heard that they seem to have found Miwako.”
"Really?" Yuki Takada's eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety as he stared wide-eyed at Yumi Miyamoto.
"We found Fujita Maiko-senpai. The two of them are currently taking shelter from the rain somewhere."
"I heard that we'll be going back once the rain stops. That's great, I can finally relax for now," Miyamoto Yumi said, looking at the man in front of her.
"Yes, that's great." Yuki Takada lowered his head, his mood becoming somewhat somber, letting the raindrops fall on him.
Then, the two led a spot illuminated by a streetlamp and sat down gently.
"Did you come here specifically to inform me?" Yuki Takada turned his head slightly and glanced at Yumi Miyamoto.
Seeing this, Yumi Miyamoto said repeatedly, "It's all because you haven't read the messages. I was so worried about you."
"I'm sorry." Yuuki Takada slowly uttered three words.
"It's nothing." Miyamoto Yumi lowered her head gently and said softly, "Because you've been desperately looking for Miwako, haven't you? You're really worried about Miwako."
Yuki Takada shared his feelings: "It felt like I was the only one worrying for nothing. If I had known that Maiko Fujita could find Miwako, I should have stayed put."
"What a shame."
