#11: The Location

(Koizumi Tsubaki/Yukishiro Himeko's POV)

"The exit is over here. I'll act as a decoy and gain their attention. No matter what, never look back and head straight to the exit."

"What are you saying...? That's foolishness!"

"It is for your own good, Seijuro-san."

*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

"Himeko!"

"Run, Seijuro-san! I'll hold them back. That's why... move forward!"

"I refuse. I won't do such coward thing. Didn't you promise that we'll get out of here... together!?"

"... It's fine. Don't worry about me. I've been through a lot worse than these. Save your life. Shiori-san would be sad if she learned that you got hurt. Don't you want to spend a lot of time with your dear mother?"

"Hahaue...."

"Go. You must go. I'll be fine, so—"

I woke up with a startle, seeing an unfamiliar room. It was slightly dim because the lightbulb was producing low brightness.

'I think I dreamt about something.... I can't remember it well.... What was it again? Anyway, what am I doing in this place...?'

Suddenly, I remembered what happened.

I tried to move but my wrists were tied behind me. Even my ankles.

"Eh!?"

"You're finally awake. You sure took your time sleeping so soundly," a familiar voice said.

I turned my head upwards and saw Seijuro-san beside me. He was sitting while leaning onto the wall. His ankles and wrists were tied at his back.

I struggled sluggishly to sit up with a support of my elbow and hip before leaning on the wall. "Seijuro-san, are you all right?"

"Do you think I'm all right in this kind of situation?"

"I'm sorry for asking a dumb question. I'm just worried about you. I'm glad that you are unharmed," I said as I scanned him. "Did those guys do something to you? Where's Hotaru and Hajime-san?" I asked, trying to untie the rope but couldn't because it was so tight that it hurts my wrists and ankles.

I bumped the back of my head to the wall in frustration, 'Tch. It'll leave a rope mark on Himeko's skin if ever I broke free from this thick rope. Seriously, who ever tied me is so cruel. A kidnapper and a child abuse!'

Unlike me, Seijuro-san maintained his composure even in this situation.

"They just took a video of us and sent it to chichiue. Apparently, those men want money for their own selfish desire. If chichiue didn't hand over the money to their account today, they'll kill us." He frowned, "Hotaru and that guy are safe."

I sighed in relief, knowing that the two of them were safe.

But....

"H-How much money do they want? A million?"
