Intermission 3 — Broken Spell
"You took my hotspot!!"
Onee-chan came storming into my room. I'd been found out. I returned it though...!
My mind went blank with fear. What would happen now?
"What are you doing, you freeloader!? Papa and Mama will be angry with this. I know you've been sneaking around with a smartphone, " she said, snatching the phone from my grip.
I tried my best to resist, but an elementary schooler is much weaker than a middle schooler.
She easily took it.
"Give it back, give it back!"
"Ehh, is it so important? Oh, what's this? Chatting with a boy? You impertinent elementary schooler."
She looked at the screen and sneered.
"Give it back!"
I reached out for it, but she held it out of my reach because I was short.
"You want it back? Hmph, then maybe losing this will teach you a lesson."
A chill ran down my spine.
What would she do?
The phone was the one connection between Shuu-san and I.
Was she going to break it?
"Please... I'm begging you... I'll do whatever you say, so stop it, " I pleaded with her.
But she looked coldly at me and ran out of the room.
I chased after her.
But I couldn't catch her.
And then, she threw the phone onto the concrete of the entranceway right in front of me.
The phone cracked.
"Now you can't do anything bad, " she practically spat.
I frantically picked it up.
It wouldn't turn on.
"Onee-chan, why...?" I looked up at her as I cradled the phone, glaring, "I hate you!!"
I ran outside.
"Oi, where are you going, it's dangerous!" She shouted from the door, but I ignored her. I didn't want to be here anymore.
I'd never come back. I'd go somewhere far away, where no one would find me.
With no umbrella to shield against the driving rain, I ran through the streets.
