Chapter 2
Before Hiroto got time to answer, Bomper who hadn't said anything for a long time interrupted, saying something that, if it was possible, made the situation even worse..." You can't afford it boom booom"
Miu gasped in shock and stared at Bomper. What did he say, it couldn't be that horrible.
"No ... you can't just say… it can't be… THEN WHAT SHOULD WE DO! ANIIIII!" She screamed and attacked Hiroto's chest with her fists like it was his fault" DON'T JUST STAND THERE, DO SOMETHING!"
After just a few seconds she began to cry violently and over breath. Hiroto hurried to take her in his arms to keep her calm while Ren tried to find something that could stop the over breathing. Hiroto felt very confused, he still doesn't know what has happened; only that Saki's sister had sold something that Miu, although they had decided not to do so in order to not ruin their friendship, was willing to buy back - without asking him for permission if it was necessary. He was just about to ask what Sanae had sold, when Ren came up to him with a plastic bag to stop the over breathing.
Hiroto was concerned. He and Miu had agreed on not to lend money to friends, yet he knew that this was what Miu had wanted to do before she learned that ... that she couldn't. This worried him. Miu would not lend money to friends unless it was a question of life or death, Hiroto was sure about that. The thing was that if it was a question of life or death and they couldn't help… Hiroto thought and swallowed nervously, it was the only thing that could explain Miu reaction.
"Okay, can anyone please tell me what Sanae has sold now!?" Hiroto said while Ren helped Miu. The very next second, he wished that he hadn't asked.
Saki got another panic attack. Hanto walked up to her just in time for her to throw her lunch up on him and Sosuke handed her a bucket, it took a minute before she stopped. Hiroto took the bucket out to clean it. He still had no idea what had happened but he couldn't ask in there, he knew that much, not when Saki was there anyway.
When Hiroto came back, he first looked in through an open window.
Ren had just finished cleaning up the last of the soup. Then he tried to look at Saki but he couldn't. Saki was still tied up so she couldn't hurt herself. Miu… Hiroto couldn't see Miu.
"Hey Saki ... "Ren said weakly, "I... just want to say... I don't like your sister anymore!" Hanto nodded in agreement.
"Neither do I. What a bitch!"
Sosuke just looked tired, Ren and Hanto seemed angry, Gunpei didn't show any feelings at all and Saki cried of happiness after that Ren and Hanto had finally realized what kind of person her sister was.
Hiroto couldn't figure out much of that! What the hell happened, what had Sanae sold and where were Miu!? He needed to know! He run inside.
Where Miu were was the first thing Hiroto found out, he noticed that right away, she was asleep on a couch under the window that Hiroto had just peaked in through.
"Now I want to know what's happening here!" Hiroto said while he sat down next to Gunpei. Sosuke still seemed tired and sighed. Ren came closer and sat down at the table with the others.
"Can't we take those lots first so we have done it?"
"Okay, but on one condition!" Hiroto interrupted. He waited to continue until he was sure that he has everyone's attention. "Miu will not have to do whatever it is!" It got quiet for a while but Sosuke finally nodded, Miu needed to rest at least a little longer, and the task that would be given out now he agreed with Hiroto that Miu would only be happy to be excused from.
"Okay, Miu and Saki are immune "he said, and put the hat whit the lots on the table." Who wants to take one?"
Half a minute later, it is still no one who has signed up to volunteer even to draw lots. Then Miu waked up and came over to them.
"Miu, are you okay?" Hiroto asked and got to see for himself.
"Sure, we'll pick up those lots now or what?" Miu asked and before Hiroto had time to stop her, she had put her hand into the hat and took out two tickets which she then threw on the table after placing the hat on the floor.
Hiroto swallowed, Miu's lot was still in the hat. If her name was on one of the lots which now lay on the table, they would be forced to send her on the mission.
Ren took one of the lots and opened it. He put it in the middle of the table so that everyone could read. "Hanto".
Hanto sighed and lay down on the bench, resting his back on Sosuke's. Hiroto leaned forward to the other lot. He unfolded it and read... his own name.
"Who?" Sosuke asked from the other side of the table. Hiroto put the lot beside Hanto's.
"So, what are we supposed to do? What are these lots forcing me and Hanto to?"
"Maybe we should go out a while" Ren suggested nodding towards Saki who had just managed to get some sleep. Hiroto nodded back as he understood, and then he followed Ren and Sosuke outside.
