Because of her cheap brother Gin's perverted protection (house arrest), Hanano Chiyoko has been like a little bird with clipped wings, kept in a cage since childhood. Chiyoko should have contin...
82 "Bang" Explosion
◎Out of prison!◎
Chihoko Hanano clearly saw that Shiho Miyano brought something back, but it was wrapped in an exquisite bag and it was unclear what it was from the outside.
Chiheko Hanano's work in the morning was just to get a preliminary understanding of the system, which was quite easy.
At noon, Hanano Chiheko saw Miyano Shiho take out a bag and looked at it curiously.
Miyano Shiho took out the note from the bag, looked at it carefully for a while, and then put it away carefully.
Hanano Chihoko couldn't help but become more curious. Because her gaze was too intense, it was hard for Miyano Shiho not to notice.
Remembering the words "I'm going to eat with my colleagues (smile)" written on the note, Miyano Shiho turned to look at Hanano Chiheko. "Do you want to eat?"
Chihoko Hanano hasn't answered yet.
Igawa Nako, who had been paying attention to this place for a long time, moved at the sound and instantly moved to Miyano Shiho's desk.
"Did Sister Mingmei bring you another cake?" Igawa Nako waited happily for her to be fed.
"Amei-san?" Hanano Chiheko was stunned for a moment, then quickly came over and asked tentatively, "Is she Miyano-san's sister?"
"How do you know!"
Igawa Nako's eyes widened instantly.
"Haha, I guessed it." Hanano Chiheko laughed dryly.
While the two were talking, Miyano Shiho had already cut the small cake into pieces.
In the entire laboratory, there were only three girls: Hanano Chiheko, Miyano Shiho, and Igawa Nako. The others had already gone to the cafeteria to eat in groups, so there were enough small cakes to share.
Chihoko Hanano noticed that there were fresh strawberries and blueberries on the cupcakes.
After taking a bite, Chihoko Hanano narrowed her eyes in happiness.
"Mmm~ so delicious!" Igawa Nako and Hanano Chiheko had the same happy face.
“It’s much more delicious than what I make.”
Chihoko Hanano sighed while smacking her lips.
"Can you bake a cake?"
The person who asked this question was actually Miyano Shiho.
Hanano Chiheko nodded and winked at Miyano Shiho. "Why, do you want to try my cooking?"
Miyano Shiho lowered her eyes and took a bite of cake thoughtfully. "No, I'm just asking."
Hanano Chiheko was confused for a moment, but then she stopped worrying and started eating the sweet cake with peace of mind.
As the saying goes, eating is the best way to socialize and bring people closer together.
After eating this small cake, the impression of Miyano Shiho in Hanano Chihoko's mind has changed from aloof and serious to a friendly sister-con.
As for the idea of sister complex, Chihoko Hanano really has something to say.
The cause of the incident started with the independent dormitories prepared by the organization for scientific researchers.
Due to layout issues, Chihoko Hanano's dormitory is next to Shiho Miyano's dormitory.
Just when Chiheko Hanano wanted to take advantage of the weekend to get a good night's sleep, she was suddenly awakened by a shocking explosion.
"Hey, Shiho, I'm here to save you!"
Chihoko Hanano, wearing pajamas and with messy hair, carried a fire extinguisher in one hand and a bucket of water in the other. She kicked open Shiho Miyano's door and looked around for the source of the fire.
Soon, Chihoko Hanano rushed to the crime scene after smelling a burnt smell.
I have to say, the crime scene was indeed horrific.
Gray unknown liquid was spraying out from the walls and ceiling, and the pots and pans were even darker.
Chihoko Hanano couldn't see clearly what the predecessor of the indescribable thing inside was.
Chihoko Hanano couldn't find the source of the fire, so she put down the blue thing she was carrying and looked at the person in the kitchen.
Miyano Shiho was washing herself in the sink.
Hanano Chihoko had a feeling something was wrong, "You're not hurt anywhere, are you?"
As soon as Hanano Chiheko asked the question, she saw that the palm of Miyano Shiho's right hand was burned red.
"fine."
Even in this situation, Miyano Shiho remained calm and said, "I can handle it myself."
How to treat the wound with only one hand left?
For some reason, Hanano Chiheko felt unhappy and grabbed Miyano Shiho's arm, which had escaped harm, and said, "Follow me."
"No need." Miyano Shiho wanted to struggle, but Hanano Chihoko's hands held her tightly like a pair of pliers.
It was not until this moment that Hanano Chiho realized that although Miyano Shiho usually acted like a little adult, she was actually still a junior high school student who could kidnap people with just a pull.
Five minutes later, on the sofa in Hanano Chiheko's dormitory, Miyano Shiho was quietly being held down by Hanano Chiheko while she applied medicine.
"What were you doing just now...eating"
Chihoko Hanano doubted herself for a moment and concluded that the unidentified object should be rice, not gunpowder.
Mentioning this, Miyano Shiho showed a rare look of embarrassment on her face: "Small cake."
Hanano Chihoko paused as she applied the medicine, thinking that Miyano Shiho wouldn't normally be as greedy as Igawa Nako, and then she came to her senses, "Is this for my sister?"
Miyano Shiho's eyes darkened for a moment, and she nodded.
"Oh, you should have told me earlier that I do have a bit of a talent for making cupcakes."
Hanano Chiheko had a little pride on her face, "I'll make it with you in a couple of days. I guarantee it'll be beautiful and delicious!"
Miyano Shiho looked at Hanano Chihoko, her expression softened a little, and then became hesitant.
"Are you...really Gin's sister?"
Hanano Chiheko hissed, then looked a little unnatural, lowering her voice and asking, "How did you know?"
Miyano Shiho said as a matter of course: "I saw Gin gave it to you on the first day you reported."
"How come you..." Hanano Chiheko paused, and suddenly remembered that day when Kawanako said that Miyano Shiho was going to a meeting. It was obviously very likely that she saw it on the road or in the conference room.
After all, Gin’s Porsche...it’s hard for ordinary people to not be high-profile.
"Are you familiar with my brother?"
Chihoko Hanano looked at Shiho Miyano and asked tentatively.
Hearing the name Gin, Miyano Shiho subconsciously frowned, "I'm not familiar with him, and I don't want to be familiar with him."
"Huh." Hanano Chiheko breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped layers of gauze around Miyano Shiho. "That's good."
Miyano Shiho looked at Hanano Chihoko's reaction and asked, "Are you scared?"
"Hmm... sort of." Hanano Chiheko bit her lip. "Although I like my brother very much, I don't want to be 'cared for' by him 24 hours a day."
When she thought of the locator in her phone, Chihoko Hanano's hair stood on end.
Miyano Shiho didn't know what she was thinking about, and her expression faded.
Seeing Miyano Shiho suddenly fall silent, Hanano Chiheko said, "Compared to that, your sister's concern is much more normal, and I can feel that your sister loves you very much."
Miyano Shiho's face showed nostalgia, "Yeah."
Hanano Chihoko thought of the familiar long-haired man that day, "Who was that man who delivered the small cake to you?"
"My sister's boyfriend, Moroboshi Dai."
Although Shiho Miyano's words lacked any emotion, Chihoko Hanano could still sense that she didn't really like him.
As expected of a sister complex, he naturally rejects all potential enemies other than himself who want to grab his sister's attention.
Chihoko Hanano thought to herself, and couldn't help but try to imagine what the scene would be like if Gin brought her a sister-in-law one day.
I don’t know if it’s because Gin’s aura is seriously inconsistent with the atmosphere of love, but Chihoko Hanano couldn’t imagine any scene for a long time.
Chihoko Hanano gave up and focused on the task at hand, tying a beautiful bow for Shiho Miyano.
“Thump!”
Hanano Chihoko waved her hand to show Miyano Shiho the finished product, "Isn't it super beautiful?!"
Miyano Shiho looked at the extremely conspicuous and exaggerated bow, and after being stunned for a moment, a smile unconsciously appeared on her brows.
"Can."
After a few days of adaptation, Chihoko Hanano has roughly understood the specific content of her job.
Unlike those researchers who stay in the laboratory all day, Chihoko Hanano is better at clinical medicine and physical skills. Her main focus in the future will be experiments on drug application and the characterization and recording of experimental subject reactions.
Simply put, it means finding human guinea pigs during the mission to test the effects of the medicine.
In order to go on a mission, Chihoko Hanano needs training in shooting and actual combat.
Chianti is Hanano Chihoko's shooting instructor, and Gin is her instructor in actual combat.
"Aim." Chianti patted Hanano Chihoko's hand holding the gun. "Pay attention to your breathing when shooting."
Chihoko Hanano took a deep breath and tried hard to aim at the bull's eye.
"Bang!"
A mechanical voice from the shooting room rang out: "Missed the target."
Hanano Chiheko's heart began to flutter, and she aimed and fired again: "Bang!"
As if to oppose Hanano Chihoko, the mechanical voice sounded again: "Missed the target!"
Hanano Chihoko gritted her teeth and wanted to shoot again, but Chianti grabbed the gun and said, "Blind practice will only deepen your impression of the wrong posture."
Hanano Chiheko also came back to her senses from her unwilling state at this time, "Coach, what did I do wrong?"
"Not mentally right."
"What?" Chihoko Hanano was surprised for a moment and suspected that she had heard it wrong.
Chianti took Hanano Chihoko's gun, aimed at the bull's eye, and shot.
The mechanical voice sounded again, "Ten Rings."
Chianti's lips curled up into a wicked smile. "You don't have the determination to kill. Regardless of whether you can learn to shoot or not, even if you did, you wouldn't dare to do it."
Every word Chianti said touched Hanano Chihoko's heart, leaving her at a loss as to how to respond.
"Kazuko." A familiar voice sounded not far away, inexplicably giving Hanano Chihoko some comfort.
Chihoko Hanano turned her head and saw Gin standing at the door of the shooting room.
Chianti still kept his gaze fixed on the bull's eye. "Let's stop here for today."
"Bang!"
"Ten rings!"
Hanano Chiheko no longer hesitated, "Then see you next time, Coach."
After saying that, Hanano Chiheko quickly ran towards Gin.
Cohen, who was training nearby, watched Hanano Chiheko and Gin walk away and said to Chianti, "It's not nice of you to say that. The girl is just getting started."
"You also know that she is a 'naive' little girl."
Chianti's eyes flashed with a hint of sneer. "Don't you think she doesn't match the color scheme here?"
After hearing what Chianti said, Cohen thought about it and agreed.
"A young lady like this hanging around will only give me the same feeling as that annoying woman."
Speaking of this, Chianti's eyes became sharp.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
On the way back, the car was unusually quiet.
Vodka looked at Chihoko Hanano and Gin through the rearview mirror. One was staring out the window in a daze, and the other was resting with his eyes closed.
"Oh." Vodka broke the silence. "Um, Xiaohezi, have you gotten used to staying in there for the past two weeks?"
Hanano Chiheko came back to her senses, "Not bad, the new colleagues are all very nice."
Gin half raised his eyes, "Really?"
"Yeah." Hanano Chiheko smiled and said, "Maybe the department I'm in is better. At least the people there aren't as...dark as I imagined."
Gin's expression was slightly serious, and he immediately took the person home after getting out of the car.
The lights in the house were not on. In the darkness, Chihoko Hanano could not see Gin's expression, but based on her experience since childhood, she sensed that Gin was not happy.
Well, to be honest, she hasn't been in good shape since Chianti said those things.
This feeling was even more obvious when Chihoko Hanano was pressed against the door by Gin.
"elder brother?"
"Is it really 'good'?" Gin asked hoarsely.
Although he said something caring, his tone was questioning.
If someone who is not familiar with Gin heard this, they might even think that this person would kill someone to silence him the next moment.
Chihoko Hanano suddenly felt like laughing, and pushed Gin, but failed to do so.
Obviously, Gin couldn't let Chihoko Hanano get away with it so easily.
In desperation, Hanano Chiheko had to confess honestly:
"Well, I'm a little uncomfortable. It's just like when I first arrived at the police academy. Everything is new to me, and it takes a while to get used to it."
Gin seemed to have caught a loophole in Hanano Chihoko's words, "Is everything brand new?"
Chihoko Hanano's eyes had already adapted to the darkness, and when she looked up, she could vaguely see Gin's gem-like green eyes, which were glowing faintly.
Hanano Chihoko suddenly burst out laughing when she remembered something. She leaned over and hugged Gin. She snuggled in Gin's arms and said in a muffled voice, "It's my fault. Brother is still the familiar brother who will pick me up on vacation."
Gin's heart was soothed again. He closed his eyes and touched the top of Hanano Chiheko's head. "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
Chihoko Hanano knew that Gin wanted to take her out to relax tomorrow.
Can……
Chihoko Hanano knows the knot in her heart, and only she can untie it.
With Gin around, Chihoko Hanano will only be more confused.
"Um... I want to go out for a walk tomorrow." Hanano Chiheko said, and as if she was afraid that Gin would disagree, she immediately explained:
"After all, I've been feeling pretty stuffy in the organization these past few days. It's a lot easier to go out on my own. It's low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and I can get some exercise. Isn't that a great deal?"
Seeing Hanano Chiheko's insistence, Gin finally relented: "Go early and come back early."
Hanano Chiheko immediately smiled happily, "I promise!"
In the blink of an eye, most of the summer has passed, leaving only a small tail.
Today is the day that Shoichi Shibata is discharged from the hospital, and Chihoko Hanano went to the hospital early in the morning.
After treatment with the organization's special medicine, Masakazu Shibata is now able to move freely.
"Happy discharge from the hospital, Shoichi-kun!"
When Chihoko Hanano broke into the ward and wanted to give Shoichi Shibata a surprise, Shoichi Shibata was changing his clothes.
Neither side anticipated the other's appearance. After a moment of awkwardness, Hanano Chihoko closed her eyes and ran away quickly.
Because she closed her eyes, Chihoko Hanano couldn't see the road clearly. She stumbled forward and even bumped into the door.
"Ouch!"
Chihoko Hanano let out a muffled groan, and without caring about anything, she turned around and ran away in panic.
"etc!"
The moment Shibata Masakazu shouted, he had already jumped in front of Hanano Chiheko to block her.
"Where did you hit?" Shibata Masakazu said as he was about to pull away Hanano Chiheko's hands that were covering her face.
Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Chihoko Hanano had to let go of her hand and let Masakazu Shibata take a look.
Shibata Masakazu felt relieved when he saw that the wound had not broken the skin. He suddenly laughed out loud as he thought of something.
Masakazu Shibata's laughter successfully angered Chihoko Hanano.
"Is my wound so funny?" Hanano Chiheko asked with a stern face.
"No, no, I'm not laughing at you."
Shibata Masakazu knew Hanano Chihoko's stubborn temper and immediately waved his hand to clarify: "It just felt like a coincidence. When we first met, I think I was on your head..."
Shibata Masami gestured towards Hanano Chiheko's head and said, "Hey, it seems like you had a big bump right here. I didn't expect you to have another bump a year later."

Shibata Shoichi's bright face: What a coincidence~
Hanano Chiheko: Thank you for the invitation [burst into tears]
