The man says, kicking the falling Cyclo further and holding him down as he leans further on top of him.
“Ugh!?”
“You criminal! Don’t think you can escape!”
The man’s words were incomprehensible to Cyclo. You’re the criminal, Cyclo thought.
But – as the police officer chatted with a neighbor who had come by, he finally understood what the man meant.
“What’s going on!?”
“You’re a neighbour, aren’t you? Call the other police officers! He is a suspect in an attempted rape!”
“What!? Is that so!?”
“Quickly! Before he escapes!”
“Y-Yes!”
Hearing these words, Cyclo’s face turns pale.
(Don’t tell me– this guy! Is he trying to pin this on me!?)
Cyclo tries to speak up in a panic.
However, he is unable to speak out because the police officer is holding him down from above.
“Ugh …… I-I ……”
“Shut up, you criminal! You’re probably the one who is responsible for the recent series of rapes, aren’t you!? I’m not letting you get away with this today!”
The tone of voice is somewhat unnatural, like an officer’s explanation.
But he knows this because he knows the truth, and for those who don’t, the truth is what the police officer says.
And the last thing Cyclo sees is…
“…… No. Cyclo is ……?”
And a voice leaks out — it was Miranda, who noticed the commotion in front of her house and came to check on it.
(That’s not true …… Sister Miranda ……)
Cyclo struggles to somehow clear his suspicions.
However, he is held down and constricted by the police inspector, and the damage and stress caused him to pass out.
