Chapter 26

I touched my cheeks; the feeling of warm blood splashing onto my face in the dream was a rather vivid memory.
Surveying around the four corners of the wooden house, I found a bottle of mineral water. I opened the cap and drank half of it's contents in a single gulp before pouring a little water onto my hands to moisten and rub off the bloodied scab on my nose which had already solidified. I then discovered a torchlight on the bedside; using my thumbs to flick the switch on, I discovered that the battery still worked. By then, I was ready to head home while holding a torchlight in my left hand, and my right hand about to push open the wooden door.
Glancing around the surroundings after I had stepped out of the wooden house, I realized that there still wasn't even a trace of the moon in the dark black sky; there were only a few clustered stars in the sky flickering nonstop. Walking in the pitch black forest made me a little terrified. With my only consolation being the torchlight emanating a weak light, my heart felt a bit relaxed.
"Looks like even after I've fainted it wasn't too long after all.... the sky's still as dark as ever."
Murmuring to myself as I walked onto the forest path, I tried to deceive myself into being less frightened of the blackness around me.
Although I didn't recognize the pathway around me, after walking around randomly I still managed to walk out of the forest in the end. Looking at the slightly familiar scenery around me, I pointed my torchlight's light onto the grass patch, and there seemed to be something that reflected a shine back due to the torchlight's light, being curious I walked forward to squat onto the ground to pick that object up.
"It looks a little like the button on my shirt..... was it because Miwa had used too much force to tear it off earlier?"
I stood up and crammed that button into my shirt's front pocket, and resumed following the light glow to walk forwards; as I saw my school bag lying down not far too front from me, I proceeded to walk towards it, picking it up.
"This is my bag?"
Grasping the bag's strap with a single hand while using the torchlight's glow to shine onto it, when I saw clearly what had happened to the bag my face expression became rather peculiar, because what was originally a black backpack had now turned into what I would describe as "destroyed".
On the bag had numerous vagueish kind of injuries on it, seemingly caused by someone using extreme force to tear it apart, resulting it becoming quite unrecgonisable. If not for the bag's logo on top of it, I would have already thought that this is a somewhat tattered cloth, and upon closer look there's actually some teethmarks on top of it? My hand that was grasping onto the bag strap also felt some kind of a wet liquid dripping from it.
(Recently it didn't rain, nor I don't think it could be the accumulated pool of water from the grass patch....... could it be mucus? Or something else?)
As I continued to point my torchlight onto the bag strap, I noticed there are still some foam on top of it, and it looked still wettish too.
"Somehow I feel that this would be like someone's saliva, huh............................ oh shi-"
I haven't completed my sentence when I suddenly felt a tremendous force knocking me down from sideways, and being off-balance from it I fell down onto the floor, the person then flipped me upwards, and sat onto me, greedily sniffing my scent around my neck.
"O yay~ Hiroto I've caught you."
Being tightly held down, I cried as I spoke: "Miwa, how come you're still here."
"I haven't found Hiroto, so how could I leave here~"
Even as she spoke, she dug her face deeply into my chest as her hands separately held down my arms, and as Miwa spoke, her breath that came out kept brushing onto my chest, making me feel rather itchy.
