106 Chapter 106

"Why, do you have any objections?"

The next day, when Chihoko Hanano woke up, she found that her hair was inexplicably messed up.

Looking at herself in the mirror with her frizzy hair, Chihoko Hanano couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Since childhood, Gin has loved to touch the top of her head, whether he was in a good mood or in a bad mood. He is such a domineering person, but he chose such a childish way to express his emotions.

Looking in the mirror at her own face, whose eyes, eyebrows, and nose were nothing like Gin's, Hanano Chihoko gradually stopped laughing as she remembered that Gin had deceived her for more than ten years.

The wall clock shows 7 o'clock.

Chihoko Hanano silently put the mirror back. After going out, she did not go directly to the organization, but took a taxi to go somewhere else.

“Beep!”

In the underground parking lot, as soon as Shuichi Akai got out of the car, he was greeted warmly by a brand new Volvo.

Akai Shuichi raised an eyebrow and looked at Hanano Chiheko, who was wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat. "Newly bought?"

"Yeah, I buy it now and pick it up now."

Hanano Chiheko rolled down the car window, crossed her arms, and looked at Akai Shuichi with a smug look on her face. "How's it? Not bad, right?"

Akai Shuichi took a quick look at the car and asked, "Why did you buy this brand?"

Hanano Chiheko didn't really understand any of this. She opened the door and got out. "I heard this car is really sturdy. It hits the mark exactly what I need."

Akai Shuichi heard something, "Are you going to hit the train?"

"Hahaha, this joke is so cold."

Hanano Chihoko gave a perfunctory smile and knocked on the car body with the knuckle of her index finger. As she expected, she heard the crisp sound unique to steel and aluminum materials mainly used in aerospace.

"After dropping countless phones, I've learned that no matter what you buy, the most important thing is durability. Everything else is irrelevant."

"And even during the organization's missions, there are times when you can barely escape death. If nothing else, just look at that guy Amuro Toru. He always reports a car repair bill after each mission. Wow, that's scary."

Akai Shuichi had no way to refute what Hanano Chiheko said. He looked around Hanano Chiheko's car and accepted her words. "You really should cherish your life."

"Is that so?" Hanano Chiheko saw Akai Shuichi as if she had found a kindred spirit. "Great minds think alike. Just for what you said, I'll give you a small cake."

Akai Shuichi recalled the lingering shadow of the lollipop and looked at Hanano Chiheko hesitantly for a moment, "So generous?"

"Of course, I always treat my friends like this!"

Hanano Chiheko raised her chin and glanced at Akai Shuichi: "Why, do you have any objections?"

Akai Shuichi smiled indifferently, "How could that be? I'll wait for your cake then."

"Okay! Then... are you busy lately? I can find time to send it to you." Hanano Chiheko asked casually.

Akai Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I have a mission tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, so I might have to go on a business trip for two days."

Hanano Chiheko thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll let you know when it's done and you can pick it up."

After dealing with Shuichi Akai, Chihoko Hanano breathed a sigh of relief and came to the laboratory.

Miyano Shiho was already at her workstation. Hanano Chiho looked at her still busy back for a while, then sat down at her own workstation.

Miyano Shiho hadn't seen Hanano Chihoko all night, and now that she saw her coming, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

After finishing the work at hand, Chihoko Hanano sat in front of the computer and stared blankly. Leisure time always passes quickly, and the day was over in a flash.

In the evening, Chihoko Hanano drove back home in her new car.

When Chihoko Hanano saw that her special car had not returned, she went to the security guard to register. She chatted with the security guard for a while and mentioned her new car very casually.

Due to the instability of Hanano Chiheko's missions, the uncle was no longer surprised by her habit of going out at unusual times. "That's good, the little girl doesn't have to ask for help if she has any urgent matters."

"Hehe." Hanano Chihezi said with a smile, "I think so too."

As they were speaking, Hanano Chiheko turned around and saw Miyano Shiho walking towards them.

"Oh, what a coincidence!" Hanano Chiho raised her hand and greeted Miyano Shiho enthusiastically.

Miyano Shiho naturally noticed the unusually active Hanano Chihoko and nodded in response.

The uncle saw Miyano Shiho and took out a booklet that was much more advanced than the one signed by Hanano Chiheko. He handed the pen to Miyano Shiho and said, "Come, please sign your name."

Miyano Shiho is usually taciturn and only chats with the outgoing Hanano Chihoko and Igawa Nako.

Even though Miyano Shiho has lived here since she was a child, she is not familiar with the security guard.

Chiho Hanano watched Miyano Shiho finish signing thoughtfully, then immediately put her arm around Miyano Shiho's shoulders with sisterly affection, waved briefly to the uncle, and got on the elevator together.

When the elevator door opened, Miyano Shiho did not go directly back to her own home, but followed her back to Hanano Chihoko's home.

Chihoko Hanano knew that Shiho Miyano wanted to make things clear with her, so she led Shiho Miyano into a more private bedroom to talk.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Hanano Chiheko's expression was still a little stiff when she looked at Miyano Shiho, "Shiho, you..."

Miyano Shiho's hands, hidden under the sleeves of her white coat, tightened unconsciously.

Hanano Chihoko knew the confusion in Miyano Shiho's heart, bit her lip and took the lead in comforting her: "My plan is just your Plan B. In fact, you don't need to feel too much pressure..."

"No." Miyano Shiho suddenly interrupted, "It's my plan A."

Miyano Shiho's words were like a sudden punch to Hanano Chiheko's face, leaving her unable to dodge. "W-what?"

Miyano Shiho lowered her eyes. "I've been thinking a lot these days. If I continue to stay here, not only will my freedom be restricted and I'll never be able to see my sister again, but I'll also betray the sacrifice my parents made in resisting this inhumane experiment."

Miyano Shiho's tone trembled a little. She stopped to take a deep breath and looked at Hanano Chiheko across from her again: "I want to leave here. I want to join your plan!"

"real!"

Chihoko Hanano's eyes were touched for a moment, and she rushed over to hug Miyano Shiho, but because she didn't control the strength well, she rolled onto the bed with Miyano Shiho in her arms.

Even so, Hanano Chiheko was reluctant to let go, instead she hugged Miyano Shiho even tighter, "I will send you back safely, even if it costs me my life."

Miyano Shiho frowned, "I don't want your life. I want you, my sister and I to escape this cage alive and regain our freedom."

"Freedom..."

The words Harada Emi said before she fell from the building suddenly flashed back in Hanano Chiheko's mind.

Chihoko Hanano was slightly stunned, murmured, let go of Shiho Miyano, turned over and looked at the ceiling with Shiho Miyano.

The orange light was a bit dazzling. Chihoko Hanano covered her eyes with her hands, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at the sunlight-like light through her fingers.

A scene from my hazy memory many years ago inexplicably overlaps with the present.

At noon when the sun was shining brightly, Chihoko Hanano looked at the unrestrained backs of the police academy team and seemed to envy their free and bright future.

Hanano Chiheko put down her hand and let the moisture fill her eyes. "Well, we will be free in the end."
