When I Rescued a Beautiful Girl Who Was About to Be Molested, It Was My Childhood Friend Sitting Next to Me Manhua

Title: A Bond Reforged As the school bell chimed, signaling the end of another monotonous day, Ryo trudged wearily out of the classroom, his mind preoccupied with assignments and upcoming exams. Lost in his thoughts, he absentmindedly made his way through the bustling hallways, oblivious to the world around him. It wasn't until a sudden commotion caught his attention that he snapped out of his reverie. Pushing through the crowd, Ryo's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw a group of boys taunting a familiar figure - Hina. His childhood friend, whom he hadn't spoken to in years. Without a second thought, Ryo felt a surge of determination coursing through him as he stepped forward, his voice ringing out clear and commanding. The boys turned to face him, their expressions morphing from sneers to surprise at his unexpected intervention. In that moment, as Ryo stood protectively in front of Hina, a rush of emotions flooded through him. Memories of their shared childhood flashed before his eyes, reminding him of the friendship they had once cherished. And now, here he was, standing up for her when she needed him the most. The tension in the air crackled with unspoken words as the boys hesitated, their bravado waning in the face of Ryo's unwavering resolve. And as they slunk away, defeated by his unwavering courage, Ryo turned to Hina, his heart pounding with relief and something more. Their eyes met, a silent understanding passing between them as they stood in the fading light of the day. And in that moment, as Hina whispered her gratitude, a flicker of something beyond friendship ignited in Ryo's heart. Walking side by side, the distance that had separated them for so long now felt like a distant memory, replaced by a newfound connection that seemed to grow stronger with each step they took. And as the sun dipped below the horizon, bathing them in a warm glow, Ryo knew that this unexpected turn of events was just the beginning of a new chapter in their intertwined lives.
