Nothing more happened that day.

Rio is sleeping in Yuzuki’s room with her.

“Dad, how can I help Rio out of her anxiety?”

“Well, I have an idea. I have an idea. Can you do what I say?”

Dad said with a grin.



The next morning, Rio would return home to his own house.

“Thank you for taking care of me.”

Rio bowed her head with a bow.

“Bye, Rio-san! Let’s have a sleepover again!”

“Yes, let’s do it again.”

Yuzuki and Rio seemed to be getting along well.

“I’ll walk you home.”

“Is that okay?”

“I’m worried about being alone. After what happened yesterday.”

“Thank you.”

We leave the house and start walking.

We can walk to Rio’s apartment from here.

“Ryo’s father is amazing.”

“Hmm?”

“He worked hard for Ryo and Yuzuki and even became the head of the investigation department.”

“Yes. I am grateful to my father.”

When I was a few minutes away from Rio’s house, I felt a sense of incongruity.

“Someone is following me.”

“What?”

Rio tried to turn around in a hurry.

“Don’t turn around. Just pretend you don’t notice.”

I was close to Rio.

“You may not like it, but put up with it for now.”

“I don’t hate it at all. I’m rather happy.”

Saying so, Rio intertwined her arms with mine.

This is part of the strategy.

I dared to show her to the stalker who was following me.

We arrived at Rio’s apartment on foot.

“Then, here.”

I walk Rio to the entrance of the apartment.

“Oh no.”

Rio grabbed my shirt sleeve and held me back.

“Come to my room. I want you to stay with me a little longer.”

“Okay.”

I walk through the entrance with Rio and get on the elevator.

“Did you get anything in the post today?”

“ There was nothing in the mailbox today.”

“I see.”

I got off the elevator on the second floor and stood in front of the door of Rio’s room.

“Drink some tea. Thank you for sending me this far.”

“Then, shall I disturb you?”

“Yes, sit on the sofa.”

The living room is neat and tidy.

The room still smells faintly sweet and girly.

It is a girl’s room.

At that moment.

Pareen!

The window is broken.

A fist-sized stone is lying near the window.

The window must have been broken by this being thrown in.

Then, a hand reaches out from the broken window.

“Kyaaa!”

Rio screams loudly.

“Rio, get behind me.”

“Uh-huh.”

It was a man in black.

“Get away from my Rio-chan !!!!.”

His voice is strained

This indicates that he is in a state of excitement.

“Get away, get away, get away!!!!”

The man has a knife in his hand.

“Ryo……”

“It’s okay. Stay back.”

My father taught me what to do in times like this.

“Rio, be mine!”

He said that and came at us with a knife.

“Ha!”

The knife fell to the ground.

Yes, I knocked it off.

“What?”

“That’s it!”

I grabbed the guy’s hand and threw him toward the window.

“Dad! Get in!”

I yelled, and my dad came running out the front door.

“You’re under arrest for breaking and entering violation of the Firearms Act, and attempted murder.”

He handcuffed the guy.

“Are you two all right?”

“I’m fine. Ryo?”

“I’m okay, too. Here.”

I show Rio that I’m not hurt anywhere.

“You guys set me up!”

“I knew that a jealous guy like you would immediately turn tail. That’s why I asked my father and Rio to help me.”

This strategy was my father’s idea.

If any real damage was done, he could go ahead and arrest them.

“I’m sorry I put you both in harm’s way.”

“If you feel that way, you could have helped us a little sooner.”

“I’m sure you’re no worse than any stalker out there.”

My father said with a laugh.

“I didn’t know Ryo was that strong.”

“Was that surprising?”

“Because he doesn’t look like that.”

I have a normal build by most people’s standards.

No wonder I don’t look like I do martial arts.

“My father trained me in self-defense and arrest techniques from a young age. I’m glad it helped.”

“Thank you for protecting me.”

Saying that Rio hugged me.

“Oooh it’s getting hot in here, I’m going to take him in now.”

An undercover police car was parked under the apartment building.

“I’ll take care of the rest”

“The truth is, stalkers are the responsibility of the Community Safety Department, so I’ll probably get in trouble again.”

The police car pulls the man over, blurting out something like that.

“But isn’t attempted murder handled by the Criminal Investigation Department?”

“Oh, that’s true.”

He put the man in the police car and had his men take him away.

“Well, glass, we have to clean up.”

The room is littered with broken window panes.

“No bugs or cameras seem to have been planted.”

My father checked the room.

“Thank you, sir.”

“That was scary, wasn’t it?”

“I know it was scary. But Ryo was with me, so that was really reassuring.”

“I’m glad.”

Thus, Rio’s angelic smile returned once again.
