"Yukiko, what are you trying to do?"
Just as Yukiko was about to fall from the high building, a powerful hand appeared from behind her and pulled her back to the safety of the ground.
Yukiko looked in shock at the owner of this arm. She wasn't close to this person, but she recognized her; after all, even though she was a freshman, she was a prominent figure among the freshmen.
"Shirai Kuroko?"
"Don't do anything stupid. Onee-sama would be sad."
Shirai Kuroko stood with one hand on her hip, looking at Yukiko who was kneeling on the ground. At this moment, Yukiko was trying hard to suppress the panicked expression on her face, then hurriedly scrambled up from the ground.
"I... I was just distracted for a moment. But thank you. If I had really fallen, even if I had successfully activated my ability, I would definitely have been seriously injured..."
Yukiko replied to Kuroko, feigning calmness. After saying that, she clenched her fists and walked with stiff steps, trying to bypass Kuroko and leave.
Kuroko did not reach out to stop her, nor did she speak further, because in the end, she was not close to Yukiko, and the person who could open Yukiko's heart was definitely not her.
Before Yukiko could get a step or two past Kuroko, she stopped of her own accord, because someone she could no longer brush off stood in front of her.
"Yukiko."
Mikoto looked at the even more distressed Yukiko with complex emotions. She had originally wanted to attend the charity event with Chinatsu but had been persuaded to return halfway through.
At the time, she had been puzzled why she was asked to stay at Tokiwadai, but now she understood her sister's good intentions. She couldn't imagine what kind of mindset she would have to face if Yukiko had jumped to her death.
"Mikoto, you... you didn't attend the charity event either? That's fortunate. The charity event is on fire, and I need to go over there to see if there's anything I can help with..."
"Yukiko, don't take me for a fool!"
Seeing that Yukiko was trying to run away again, Mikoto reached out and grabbed Yukiko's left hand. She was naive, not stupid; she had sensed that something was on Yukiko's mind long before Yukiko tried to steal her gua tai hair clip.
It was just that at the time, she had hoped that in the future, their relationship would be good enough for Yukiko to talk about this matter with her without any burden.
Even after Yukiko moved out of the dormitory, Mikoto had been looking for an opportunity to talk things out with her, but Yukiko had been avoiding Mikoto.
"I won't let go this time."
Mikoto looked at Yukiko earnestly. Yukiko first tried to pull away from Mikoto with force, but before she could struggle much, tears couldn't help but stream down from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Mikoto, I didn't mean to deceive your feelings. I went to steal your gua tai hair clip just... just to make my sister give up on attacking you, but now..."
Before Yukiko could finish her sentence, she could no longer suppress the tears and her emotions. Mikoto let go of Yukiko's hand, took a handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the tear-stained face for her.
"I've actually heard about your situation from my sister and Shirai. Don't worry, my sister will definitely stop your sister. She promised me."
Mikoto's words were filled with confidence. Although the charity event was now filled with thick smoke, there had not been a single casualty so far, and even the live broadcast had not been interrupted. Countless people had witnessed this miraculous scene.
After this incident, there would certainly be questions and condemnations regarding the construction quality of Tokiwadai, but at the same time, there would be no shortage of praise for Tokiwadai's orderly crisis management.
