5. Kagemitsu's Marksmanship

◎Chihoko Hanano: Just say this thing has sequelae! ◎

"What?" Gin remained in the same posture, his eyelashes half-drooped.

"Say it again."

"Ah, didn't you hear? Well, I won't take any of it, don't worry!"

Gin's interest faded a bit, "I'll pick you up at the school gate tomorrow morning."

"Got it!" Hanano Chiheko hung up the phone. She felt a little choked by eating the small cake alone. She drank a glass of water to moisten her throat. After taking a few bites, she suddenly remembered something. Belatedly, she looked at the orange cub who was licking his fur leisurely after a full meal.

The orange cub keenly sensed the danger and raised his aho-hair, "Meow?"

"Kurosawa Tachibana!" Hanano Chiheko suddenly jumped up, "Who told you to drink my water?"

He was drinking openly under people's noses, but the orange cub twisted his flesh that swayed back and forth as he charged forward, feeling very wronged.

The battle between the human and the cat exhausted the last bit of strength that Chiheko Hanano had left. The next day, Chiheko Hanano slept until she woke up naturally before reluctantly going out.

Chihoko Hanano, with her hands behind her back, just walked out of the school gate and saw a Porsche parked opposite and a man in black next to the Porsche.

"elder brother!"

Afraid that Gin couldn't see it, Hanano Chihoko waved at Gin exaggeratedly, her movements almost rivaling the traffic police directing traffic at the school gate.

"Classmate, don't get excited."

The traffic police on duty subconsciously extinguished the only unstable factor on the road.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, I felt a chill all over my body, and inexplicably felt as if I was being stared at by the god of death.

The traffic police was about to turn around when the green light came on.

Seeing that there were no cars around, Chihoko Hanano suddenly rushed forward, ran wildly, and bumped into Gin's arms.

The huge impact made Gin's breathing disordered. His nose was filled with the scent of Hanano Chihoko's favorite fruit, and the coldness in Gin's eyes disappeared in an instant.

Gin patted Hanano Chihoko's back and asked, "Have you slept enough?"

"That's enough." Hanano Chiheko produced a small cake wrapped in a dark blue bow from nowhere. "Jiangjiang! Do you like it? I've been choosing this color for a long time."

"Yeah." Gin took the small cake and opened the car door for Hanano Chiheko, "Get in first."

"Okay~"

When I got home, it was already noon.

"Thank you, Mrs. Aoki, for your gift!" Chihoko Hanano clasped her hands together and expressed her sincere gratitude towards the large table of food.

Mrs. Aoki has been living with Chiheko Hanano for ten years. She is responsible for her daily life and treats her better than her own daughter.

Now that he was being flattered by Hanano Chiheko again, he smiled with wrinkles on his face, "As long as the lady likes it."

"I like it."

The three of them had a pleasant meal. Chihoko Hanano talked about her internship experiences while not forgetting to finish the delicious food.

Seeing that she was very busy, Gin couldn't help but smile and handed Hanano Chiheko a glass of water.

"I'm thirsty." Chihoko Hanano took it smoothly and drank it all in one gulp.

After Hanano Chiheko finished speaking and was full, she lay down on her long-lost little bed and closed her eyes.

Mrs. Aoki took off her apron and put on a white coat. "Miss, are you ready?"

Even though Chihoko Hanano couldn't see anything, she could still feel Gin's gaze at her from the door.

"Well, let's get started."

As soon as Hanano Chiheko finished speaking, Mrs. Aoki had already extracted the medicine swiftly and slowly injected it into Hanano Chiheko's neck blood vessels.

The cold medicine mixed with her blood, and Chihoko Hanano gradually became dizzy until she completely lost consciousness.

This slightly strange scene happens once a month, and it has been going on for a full ten years.

Ten years ago, after waking up from a dream, Chihoko Hanano learned that she was suffering from a mental illness and needed regular injections of antihistamines to maintain a normal life.

Facts have proved that this medicine is indeed effective. At least in the eyes of outsiders, Chihoko Hanano is a normal person.

The girl in front of the bed had a peaceful look on her face, and Gin's eyes were filled with a subtle hint of pity. He reached out to touch Hanano Chihoko's face, but stopped abruptly when he got close.

Mrs. Aoki lowered her head and closed the door as she retreated respectfully.

I don't know how long the stalemate lasted. It was completely dark outside the window before Gin finally calmed down, stood up and walked out of the room.

This is the only way to keep her. He cannot give up no matter what. Besides... he has already made concessions.

When Chihoko Hanano woke up again, the warm light of dusk shone through the slightly translucent gauze curtains into her eyes.

Chihoko Hanano had not yet fully adapted to the light. She squinted her eyes and used her hand to block the light, but found that the hand in front of her was shaking unconsciously.

"What..." Hanano Chiheko looked at her palm in surprise, and suddenly realized something.

"I was wondering how I could be so lucky. I've been getting the injection for ten years, and how come... there are no side effects at all." Hanano Chihoko's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the last it was almost inaudible.

Hand tremors are fatal to a doctor.

Chihoko Hanano walked to the window, stretched lazily towards the beautiful sunset, was silent for a moment, and suddenly had an idea.

"Good evening, Mrs. Aoki!"

Mrs. Aoki saw the energetic Hanano Chihoko again and said with confidence, "The meal will be ready soon, don't worry."

Hanano Chiheko looked around guiltily, "Where's my brother?"

"I have something urgent to do. I guess I won't be back until tonight."

Based on Chihoko Hanano's past experience, Gin will definitely not be back before ten o'clock tonight.

Hanano Chihezi felt relieved and quickly ran out with her small schoolbag on her back. "I want to go out and play for a while, so I'll eat outside. Don't worry, I will be home before my brother comes back. Oh, by the way, don't let my brother know."

"Hey! But your nutritious meal..." When Mrs. Aoki chased to the door, she could not find anyone there.

There is a bustling square one kilometer away from my home. The reason for its bustle is that many toy and dessert shops have recently moved in.

As we all know, these stores are dating destinations for young couples.

Chihoko Hanano took a taxi there. Just kidding, she couldn't walk there at all.

Chihoko Hanano sat on a bench near these small shops, watching the beautiful sunset slowly disappearing in extraordinary silence, and felt her whole body sublimated.

Then, he put on sunglasses (ps, I got them from my brother. According to an insider named Fu, sunglasses are standard equipment in their company and they sell them at an internal price when they are wholesaled.)

Ahem, back to the topic, wearing sunglasses not only automatically blocks the endless display of affection between young couples coming and going, but also because of Chihoko Hanano's own fault - if you look at the sun for too long, you will see double.

Although the reason was outrageous, Hanano Chiheko had an arrogant buff from the moment she put on her sunglasses. She slapped the toy vendor's stall with her hand, and her tone was three parts cold and four parts contemptuous: "I want this furry hat with rabbit ears!"

The stall owner, feeling inexplicably threatened, took a quick look at Hanano Chiheko's frail appearance and came to a rough idea: "You need to shoot 30 balloons in a row to redeem this hat. Miss, why don't you try something else?"

"Pah!" Hanano Chiheko slapped the money in front of the stall owner, pushed the bridge of her sunglasses, and indulged her domineering CEO habit. "Besides this rabbit, there is no room in my eyes for another one!"

Stall owner: ...

A young couple passing by: ...

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare it for you right away. Please be quiet for a moment, sir." The stall owner resignedly loaded the plastic bullet into Hanano Chiheko.

"Please." The stall owner stretched out his hand, leaving Hanano Chiheko ample room to perform.

The gun used for shooting was a machine gun, which was very different from the guns my brother used to carry.

Hanano Chihoko thought, focused her aim at the balloon, and said, "Bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

The sound of balloons bursting mixed with the sound of gunfire was particularly beautiful.

In a blink of an eye, twenty shots were fired, and all hit the target!

Hanano Chiheko let out a long breath, her expression not without pride, "It's very simple."

The stall owner nearby pursed his lips in pain and continued to reload bullets for Hanano Chiheko.

Chihoko Hanano didn't care and held the gun again. Suddenly, a familiar feeling came to her heart. Chihoko Hanano swallowed her saliva and clenched her hand holding the gun hard, her knuckles turning white.

"Bang!"

After one shot, there were no casualties.

The people who were waiting for Hanano Chihoko to win a prize were a little surprised because of her excellent gun skills.

"What an unexpected thing." Someone muttered.

Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, Hanano Chiheko put away her smile and fixed her eyes.

Maybe it was just an accident and I can control it.

Chihoko Hanano took a deep breath and aimed at the yellow balloon.

“Bang bang bang…bang bang bang!”

If Hanano Chiheko still had some hope after the first few shots, then after the next few shots, she was obviously unwilling to give up.

"Hey, customer, you only have ten shots left." Seeing that Hanano Chiheko was in a bad mood, the stall owner couldn't help but stop her.

"I can." Chiheko Hanano whispered, not knowing whether she was talking to the stall owner or to herself.

"What?" The stall owner misunderstood. "You're giving up?"

"No, I can!"

Chihoko Hanano suppressed the sourness in her nose, took off her glasses, rubbed her uncomfortable eyes, and just as she was about to aim, her hand, which was trembling more violently, was suddenly covered by another hand, or to be more precise, a gloved hand.

"Don't worry, I'll help you."

Chihoko Hanano looked up in surprise and met a pair of clear blue eyes.

All the blessings are coming!

Before Hanano Chiheko could react, Morufushi Kagemitsu had already turned to look at the stall owner and smiled very gently, "Can I help this lady with a hand? My share of the money can be calculated separately."

The stall owner was also curious about the shooting skills of the boy who suddenly came to the rescue, and immediately nodded, "You can just help this lady shoot."

"Thank you, but... I know this lady can do it." Zhu Fujingguang leaned forward slightly, holding the gun firmly for Hanano Chiheko, and said slowly in a breath: "Slow down your breathing and calm your mind..."

For some reason, Hanano Chiheko's originally impatient heart slowly calmed down following Morufushi Kagemitsu's voice.

Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was very close, was naturally the first to notice the subtle changes in Hanano Chiheko. His eyes became sharp as he looked at the target, "Okay, now's the time to shoot!"

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Every time Hanano Chiheko fired a shot, Morofushi Kagemitsu would cooperate by moving the gun slightly in order to lock onto balloons in different positions. After ten shots, the ground was covered with balloon debris.

It was not until the stall owner reluctantly handed over the rabbit-ear hat that Hanano Chiheko finally came to her senses.

"We... won?" Chihoko Hanano confirmed in disbelief.

"Well, we won."

Zhu Fushi Jingguang took off the gloves he hadn't even had time to remove the labels from, paid his share of the money with one hand, and took the rabbit-ear hat with the other hand and handed it to Hanano Chiheko, saying to her sincerely, "Congratulations."

"Hahaha! We won!!" Chihoko Hanano jumped up happily and threw the rabbit-ear hat high up.

At this moment, I am extremely happy.

What exactly are they celebrating? Hanano Chiheko herself doesn't know.

Maybe it's a bunny ear hat, or maybe... something else.

"Morifushi-san, you're a great marksman! This is it."

Next to the bench in the square, Chihoko Hanano, with furry rabbit ears on her head, and Keimitsu Morufushi sat together, gave a thumbs up, and praised Keimitsu Morufushi without paying any money.

"No." Zhu Fujingguang blushed at the compliment, "I just took the shooting course at the police academy before."

"You're too modest, Mr. Zhufu." Hanano Chihezi patted Mr. Zhufu's shoulder and said with extraordinary generosity, "If you need my help in the future, I will do my best to help you!"

"It doesn't have to be that serious."

Before, Keimitsu Morufushi had only heard the version of Kurosawa Kazuko performed by Rei Furuya, and had not had much contact with Kurosawa Kazuko herself.

Now that I have really come into contact with it, I have gained a lot of new and different understandings.

Being with Ms. Kurosawa, I should... always be happy.

As Zhu Fushi Jingguang thought about it, he glanced at Hanano Chiheko's hand, and thinking of the abnormality he had just sensed, he asked worriedly: "Ms. Kurosawa's body... is it okay?"
