"What if I don't agree? Will you drug me and ban me again?"

Akai Shuichi said calmly and calmly: "...Yes."

Furukawa Kumisa:......???Are you quite honest?

She laughed angrily: "Are you really embarrassed to say that?"

Akai Shuichi ignored her anger, but stubbornly stretched out his hand and held her hand again.

He wanted to take her into his arms again, but she subconsciously avoided him. Akai Shuichi's eyes dimmed and he could only hold her hand instead.

Furukawa Kumisa struggled to break away, so he let him hold it, but continued to sneer on his face: "In modern society, it is impossible to have a method and place that can completely 'imprison' people. You used to trap them before."

I ran out of my Kudo residence in less than two hours, and you can try whatever other methods you have."

But Akai Shuichi just shook his head: "I said, I will never let you leave my sight again, and I will always be by your side."

Furukawa Kumisa:……

She had to admit that part of the reason why she was able to run out of Kudo's house was because Akai Shuichi was not around at the time.

Dead things cannot trap living people, especially living people like Furukawa Kumisa.

But that's not necessarily true for Shuichi Akai, a living person. With him monitoring her 24 hours a day, it would be really difficult for her to run away.

"Even if you can cut off all contact between me and the outside world, I still have familiar friends. If I am missing for a long time, they will come out to look for me, and sooner or later someone will come to rescue me."

Akai Shuichi suddenly laughed. There was no irony in his laughter, but it somehow made Furukawa Kumisa feel a little creepy.

"Who are those 'friends' you mentioned? Toru Amuro? Shinichi Kudo? Or your colleague from the Metropolitan Police Department?"

There was a certain certainty in his tone that belonged to "Shuichi Akai", and it seemed that he had the same confidence as always that he had everything in his hands.

Perhaps it was because Akai Shuichi had become accustomed to being gentle and forbearing in front of her since he recognized her, so Furukawa Kumisa was not used to such Akai Shuichi for a while.

His tone remained steady: "If they knew what you were doing, or knew the real reason why I 'protected' you -"

He held her hand and squeezed it gently, as if to signal her to relax: "——Guess... will they let you out and let themselves face the danger of losing you again, or... cooperate with me?"

Akai Shuichi omitted the unfinished second half of the sentence.

——In fact, except for Matsuda Jinpei, they had already united to "protect" her once.

As for Matsuda Jinpei, Akai Shuichi was not familiar with him, but if the other party was really so obsessed with her, then he thought that many of their emotions and worries were in common.

No one wants to see her injured and dying again, and no one can afford the consequences of "losing her again."

They may not "participate", but as long as they don't "make trouble".

And this is not a long-term solution. He will not lock her up for a lifetime. As long as everything is settled and she will no longer face danger, he will let her go free.

...even if it means she may hate him for the rest of her life.

Furukawa Kumisa pursed her lips and did not answer.

Because she suddenly realized that Akai Shuichi's words were true.

Leaving aside Amuro Toru, a person whose affection is unknown, several other people have already had a deep affection for her. Although they may not be allowed to participate in "imprisoning" her, it is enough for them to "protect"

For her own safety, she acquiesces in others using special means.

——She couldn't guarantee whether they would join in the evil deeds with Akai Hide after learning the "truth".

An overly high favorability turned out to be a burden at this moment.

In the final analysis, maybe... his being shot this time scared them.

Furukawa Kumisa inhaled slightly: "...Have you told them this idea of ​​yours?"

Akai Shuichi was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to ask this, and then shook his head: "No."

Furukawa Kumisa breathed a sigh of relief: ...It would be nice if she didn't. Otherwise, if she accidentally opened the door to a new world to those people, she might have to face the promax version of the luxury prison | prison package, or for multiple people.

That kind of.

She took a deep breath and tried to reason with Akai Shuichi: "Shuichi, I know you are worried about me... But you see, I also have my own things to do. I need to go to work on time every day, as well as the tasks assigned by the organization...

"

Akai Shuichi was also very clear-headed: "The news of your recovery has not spread. Your job at the Metropolitan Police Department is your cover. No one in the organization knows exactly your situation yet."

Furukawa Kumisa gritted his teeth: "...Let's not talk about the Metropolitan Police Department. Sooner or later, the organization will know that if I disappear inexplicably, they will definitely be suspicious of me, especially Gin - you know how they deal with those suspected 'traitors'

Human.”

Akai Shuichi has obviously taken this into consideration: "I can take you away now, take you out of the organization, and give you a safe and clean new identity."

Furukawa Kumisa choked up: ...You have considered it quite comprehensively??

Akatsuki failed to reason, Furukawa Kumisa sighed, stretched out his hand to hold Akai Shuichi's hand, softened his tone, and tried to move him emotionally.

"Xiuyi, I won't doubt your feelings for me... But I am also a living person. I have my own life, which deserves to be respected - the me you like is not someone who only hides behind a gilded wall.

There are caged birds in a diamond-encrusted cage just waiting to be fed, right?”

Perhaps because of Furukawa Kumisa's soft tone, the expression on Akai Shuichi's face softened a bit. He put his arm around her shoulders, and Furukawa Kumisa let him hold her.

"I'm sorry..." He apologized, his voice full of guilt and tenderness, but there was no room for change.

He is admitting his mistake and feels guilty, but he has no intention of changing his mind.

The system was also stunned: "Is this the legendary way of actively admitting your mistakes and refusing to repent?"

Furukawa Kumisa:……

She didn't know how to describe Akai Shuichi now.

He got into a strange corner, going crazy, but maintaining some basic sanity.

He was discussing with her the possibility of imprisoning her personally, restrainedly, soberly, and rationally.

Even he clearly realized that what he was doing was wrong, but he was unwilling to change his mind.

...What is this?

Darkened, but not completely blackened?

Furukawa Kumisa had no doubt that Akai Shuichi could do what he said, but his current appearance of being very rational and even reasoning with her made her feel that there was still room for change.

She cleared her thoughts and decided to try harder.

"Xiuyi, I understand that you are worried about my safety, but I cannot accept your behavior - I know that for you now, my rejection cannot change your mind."

She took a deep breath: "But you have to understand that the only way to resist is to 'escape'."

Furukawa Kumisa straightened up from his arms and looked directly into his eyes: "You may be able to prevent all external dangers from approaching me, but you can't stop myself."

Akai Shuichi was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was talking about.

The green eyes that stared at him trembled fiercely, and the hand on his shoulder suddenly tightened, causing her a little pain.

She met Akai Shuichi's gaze without hesitation, calmly and calmly, as if she didn't feel the absurdity of what she said.

She smiled under Akai Shuichi's trembling gaze: "It's just what you think, Shuichi, I will do what I say."

If Shuichi Akai or any of them dare to imprison her again, she will dare to die.

——She no longer wants to stay in this world anyway.

It is indeed impossible to escape under the surveillance of these few people, and if some systematic methods are used against them, it is equivalent to directly tearing their faces, and there is no need to stay in this world.

In this case, I might as well just run away.

They could prevent her from escaping, but they could not prevent her from seeking death.

Akai Shuichi saw that Furukawa Kumisa was not joking, she was serious.

In other words, even if she was joking, he would not bet on the one in ten thousand possibility.

He can't afford to gamble.

Akai Shuichi stretched out his hand and hugged Furukawa Kumisa tightly into his arms again. Furukawa Kumisa also calmly accepted his hug and did not refuse.

After a while, she heard Akai Shuichi's trembling voice: "...you are threatening me."

Furukawa Kumisa smiled: "Yes, I am threatening you."

Threaten him with her own life and his feelings for her.

She finally sighed softly: "But don't forget, it was you who threatened me first, Xiuyi."

If he hadn't been thinking about imprisoning her, she wouldn't have been forced to die.

The system shook its head after hearing this: "We are hurting each other..."

When it comes to the pull between men and women, the person who is most passionate is always the first to surrender.

Akai Shuichi hugged her tighter, almost rubbing her into his body, but he trembled and compromised: "...I know..."

His voice was filled with pleading again: "I will never have such thoughts again, and you must also... don't do anything stupid."

Furukawa Kumisa's answer should be very straightforward: "I promise you."

She would not die for no reason, and escape would be a last resort.
To be continued...
