Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Rabbit
As the dinner was drawing to a close, the heat on Momozawa Airi's cheeks finally subsided a little.
It's still red, but it can be attributed to the normal redness after drinking.
She looked around quietly and felt relieved that no one noticed anything unusual about her.
Until my sight met a pair of blue eyes with a nonchalant smile.
The instigator raised his eyebrows slightly and sat down directly opposite her calmly.
He looked as if he had known she would look over.
“…”
Momozawa Airi pursed her lips and thought for a long time with her drunken brain, and felt that this matter could not be let go like this.
...I need to teach Jinpei Matsuda a lesson.
The other people around her were discussing what events to participate in the upcoming sports meet. Momozawa Airi took advantage of no one's attention and carefully lifted a little bit of the tablecloth in front of her.
Hmm, probably around this location...
She moved a little bit, testing the direction.
The moment she determined the exact location, Momozawa Airi quickly and accurately stretched her legs, neither too hard nor too soft—
Step on the loose field with one foot.
After happily completing her revenge, Momozawa Airi raised her head slowly and looked across at the other side with satisfaction.
She had expected to see Jinpei Matsuda's distorted expression of pain.
However, the other person's expression remained unchanged, as if he was completely unaware of her prank.
...Huh?
Momozawa Airi stared at Matsuda Jinpei in disbelief.
Didn’t you feel it?
She blinked, slowly straightened her legs, and tried to take another step.
“…”
Lift up.
Find the right position.
Pah...!
As a result, at the moment when she was about to step down, the sole of her shoe was pressed by the other person's slightly raised toes.
Unable to move.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Jinpei Matsuda still looked at ease.
He leaned lazily on the back of the seat and curled the corners of his lips at her.
He looked relaxed, and there was no sign that he was secretly competing with her on the lower half of the table.
"..." Momozawa Airi puffed out her cheeks, but before she could figure out what to do next, her feet suddenly felt empty.
It landed with a thud.
Momozawa Airi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Matsuda Jinpei who suddenly stood up and whispered blankly, "Why are you suddenly..."
She was interrupted by a hand on her shoulder before she could finish her words.
"Airi, we need to go back."
Zhu Fujingguang patted her shoulder gently and gestured to her.
Momozawa Airi: "?"
When she came to her senses, she found that the others had stood up and were waiting for her.
Momozawa Airi suddenly stood up: "S-Sorry, I didn't hear you just now."
Then, he heard Jinpei Matsuda's deliberate chuckle.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Everyone walked out of the store.
Jinpei Matsuda glanced at Momozawa Airi who temporarily squatted down to tie her shoelaces, and deliberately walked slowly at the back, and forcibly sent away Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu who wanted to turn around and support Momozawa Airi.
Matsuda Jinpei shoved his wallet in their hands and said, "Go pay the bill."
He casually said, "You look very smart. You will definitely not make a mistake in calculating the change."
Jiang Guling: "?
Zhu Fujingguang: “?”
…
Momozawa Airi lowered her head, struggling with her shoelaces that had come undone without her noticing.
When did it disperse?
She stood up and followed everyone's pace with unsteady steps.
“…”
Why do I feel like I'm stumbling a bit...
After walking a few steps in a daze, she naturally fell on the person in front of her.
"The way you walk is just like the kid next door who just learned to walk."
Jinpei Matsuda casually held her in his arms, feeling her warm breath on his shoulders.
"...You're so annoying." Momozawa Airi muttered incoherently and changed into a comfortable position.
...The bone in Jinpei Matsuda's shoulder was poking her.
Her head rubbed randomly on Jinpei Matsuda's shoulder, and the sweet scent of strawberry shampoo faintly stirred Jinpei Matsuda's breath.
“…”
Matsuda Jinpei's nonchalant movements paused for a moment before he continued walking towards the store entrance.
*
After standing outside the store and enjoying the evening breeze for a while, Momozawa Airi still felt dizzy.
...Help, how strong is the alcohol these people usually drink?
The other few people seemed to be completely unaffected by the alcohol and stood straight.
Momozawa Airi leaned limply against Matsuda Jinpei as if she had no bones, with her eyes half closed. The sounds around her seemed to be muffled and difficult to hear clearly.
She vaguely felt that the fingertips of Matsuda Jinpei's hand on her waist were gently stroking her waistline from time to time.
...It's so hot.
The surroundings were very noisy, and she vaguely heard a few words like "I must have been the one to take her home", "It's too late but I applied for accommodation in advance", "Don't you two have to practice extra tomorrow on the day off?", "Hurry up and go", etc.
I don’t know how long it took, but the surroundings finally became quiet.
When Momozawa Airi came to her senses, she found herself sitting in the back seat of the car.
She yawned, feeling at ease as she continued to lean against Matsuda Jinpei, and whispered, "...Where are we going? Home?"
The moment she said this, she was stunned for a second, but quickly covered it up as if nothing had happened.
"Back to our home, of course."
Jinpei Matsuda answered as a matter of course.
Momozawa Airi muttered to herself, repeating, "Oh...our home."
She closed her eyes and fell down at will.
She lay directly on Jinpei Matsuda's thighs.
"Then I'll go to bed first."
After moving around for a long time, Airi Momozawa finally found a comfortable position and decided to take a good sleep on Matsuda Jinpei's lap.
Her hair rubbed against each other again.
Matsuda Jinpei held her head in place with his hand and dryly instructed her, "...Go to sleep quickly."
Momozawa Airi listened in a daze, and inexplicably developed a rebellious mentality. She deliberately swayed back and forth to break free from Matsuda Jinpei's hand.

"I'm just going to... move around..."
Her stubborn voice came slowly.
"..." Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth, pressed his hands against the sides of her face, and repeated viciously, "Go to sleep quickly."
He lowered his eyes and found that the girl who was full of energy just now seemed to be dizzy.
She stopped moving blankly, tilted her head back, and looked into his eyes.
The long hair was spread messily on Jinpei Matsuda's legs.
Several strands of hair rubbed against her cheeks randomly due to her previous movements.
Momozawa Airi's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she frowned slightly, as if she felt a little uncomfortable with the broken hair rubbing against her face.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to brush it away, she found that Matsuda Jinpei raised his hand first and slowly brushed the loose hair away from her face.
Matsuda Jinpei stared at her for a while.
Momozawa Airi stared at him with a dazed look in her eyes, and inexplicably found that the rolling of his Adam's apple was particularly clear in the night.
Suddenly, her eyes were plunged into darkness.
A hand covered her eyes.
Momozawa Airi instinctively closed her eyes.
…
When she opened her eyes again, the taxi had already arrived at the foot of the apartment building.
Ah, here we are.
Momozawa Airi slowly followed Matsuda Jinpei out of the car, feeling that she seemed to be a little more awake after a good sleep.
But it seems only a little bit.
Because, the moment she saw the long staircase, she instinctively turned her head to look at Matsuda Jinpei: "I can't walk anymore."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He paused for a moment, then naturally spread out his hands: "Carry you up?"
Momozawa Airi shook her head: "No need to go up, just move the apartment down to me."
She felt that her logic was very clear and even nodded with satisfaction.
"That makes sense."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…………”
He looked at Momozawa Airi who was pointing seriously at the upstairs, and suddenly felt like laughing.
So he laughed.
Momozawa Airi caught a glimpse of the corners of his lips curling up, and said angrily, "Don't laugh! Going home is a serious and important matter!"
What’s more, it’s their home!
Then he watched as Matsuda Jinpei's smile deepened.
“…”
Momozawa Airi reacted slowly for a moment, then suddenly jumped towards Matsuda Jinpei.
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
He instinctively reached out and held the other person firmly with one hand.
Momozawa Airi hooked her arm around his neck, slowly tilted her head, and leaned close to Matsuda Jinpei's neck, whispering, "...Who told you to laugh at me? I'm going to punish you—"
Halfway through her words, all the strength she had just suddenly generated seemed to be used up. Her head drooped weakly, and her lips lightly brushed against Matsuda Jinpei's skin.
"—as punishment for carrying me up there."
The warm breath mixed with the aroma of wine continued to gently rub Matsuda Jinpei's Adam's apple.
*
Momozawa Airi lowered her head and did not hear Matsuda Jinpei's answer.
Instead, the other person's voice kept appearing in my mind.
But the speech was too fast and the content was too much, and her alcohol-infused brain could not make out the specific content.
I can only vaguely catch a few strange keywords.
“…”
Anyway, in the end I was carried upstairs.
Out of a childish desire for revenge, she deliberately pushed down with some weight, trying to make it more difficult for Jinpei Matsuda to carry her up the stairs.
But the other person held her in one hand without blushing, without getting nervous, and without breathing heavily, as if he was lifting a cabbage.
“…”
Momozawa Airi struggled to recall for a while, vaguely remembering that they were discussing the physical training at the police academy during dinner.
It seems like there's a lot of weight training going on... wearing heavy training clothes and carrying a shield...
Matsuda Jinpei was able to flip her upside down before, so now he can't just toss her around for fun...
Momozawa Airi finally gave up struggling and curled up limply. She always felt that the hand with thin calluses that was supporting her was rubbing against the smooth skin of her legs, which was a bit uncomfortable.
She twisted quietly, only to have the other party move closer.
“…Don’t fall.”
Momozawa Airi felt a rough fingertip pinching her, and she felt a tingling sensation.
Then came the rustling sound of keys.
The door opened.
Momozawa Airi slowly raised her head and looked around the apartment which she hadn't lived in for a long time.
Ever since Jinpei Matsuda went to the police academy, she moved back home and rarely came here.
...I came here once not long ago, cleaned up casually, and then hid the bunny skirt in the closet.
“…”
Thinking of this, Momozawa Airi pursed her lips and thought seriously for a while.
There is still some rationality, but not much.
It can only be used to think about some meaningless issues.
for example--
Did she put the bunny skirt here?
...or is it in your own closet at home?
This question is like remembering whether you locked the door after going out. The more Momozawa Airi thought about it, the more problematic it seemed, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was not worth thinking about.
Momozawa Airi bumped her head against Matsuda Jinpei and mumbled, "Put me down."
She's going to check it out.
For a long while, there was no movement from Jinpei Matsuda.
He seemed to completely ignore her words, holding her with the hand that was not wrapped in bandages, and said in a long voice: "What are you doing? Why don't you just go to sleep?"
As Matsuda Jinpei spoke, he walked leisurely towards the bedroom.
Momozawa Airi replied in a low voice, very principled: "I'm looking for something..."
"What are you looking for?"
“…”
In the quiet room, Momozawa Airi sensed a hint of danger, raised her hand, closed her mouth, and then slowly made a zippering motion.
Don't say.
"Look." Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Momozawa Airi, who was clearly confused, and a plan came to his mind. He raised his eyebrows in amusement, "What will I become in the future?"
"……police."
Momozawa Airi, who was truly confused, responded slowly, her voice soft.
As she spoke, she remembered that Jinpei Matsuda was about to enter the somewhat dangerous explosives disposal team.
Normally she disguised herself very well, but at this moment, the alcohol took over, and Momozawa Airi couldn't control her expression for a moment. Her eyebrows drooped involuntarily, and she looked a little aggrieved.
"..." Matsuda Jinpei calmly took in the change in her expression, silently memorizing it in his mind as he continued to speak patiently, "So it makes sense for me to help you find something."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She blinked her eyes and thought for a long time with her alcohol-numbed mind, and felt that what Matsuda Jinpei said made sense.
If you have any trouble, call the police!
And the person in front of her is about to graduate and officially start working!
So, Momozawa Airi confessed everything with a clear conscience: "Looking for clothes."
He even described the style details of the clothes in detail.
Then he stared at Jinpei Matsuda honestly.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
A trace of guilty feeling passed through my heart.
He suddenly remembered the messages they had just exchanged, and absentmindedly opened the wardrobe door and glanced around.
His gaze finally paused meaningfully at a corner for a moment.
Matsuda Jinpei turned his head nonchalantly: "It's right here. I've opened the closet door for you. Take your time."
Momozawa Airi nodded and praised righteously, "You're such a nice person, future police officer."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
It was really hard for him to hold back his laughter.
So I couldn't bear it anymore.
Laughing openly in front of Momozawa Airi.
Momozawa Airi looked at him blankly: "?"
*
Jinpei Matsuda looked at Momozawa Airi who was sitting in front of the closet and slowly rummaging through clothes, and decided to take a shower.
When passing by her, Momozawa Airi suddenly raised her head and said, "Be careful."
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
Momozawa Airi pointed methodically at the bandage on his hand and succinctly summarized it: "Danger."
Because she was dizzy and her speech became more and more unclear, Momozawa Airi decided to use fewer words and not say anything else.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
…
There was a sound of water in the bathroom.
Momozawa Airi finally found the bunny skirt that she had never worn, and also found the bunny ear headdress.
She looked at it slowly and carefully for a moment.
...It's quite cute, I kind of want to try it.
Why not just put it on quietly and look in the mirror while Jinpei Matsuda goes to take a shower?
Change it back quickly before he finishes his shower, otherwise...
otherwise……
Momozawa Airi vaguely recalled what she heard during dinner, and the temperature of her already hot cheeks seemed to rise a little more.
She slowly changed her clothes, stood in front of a full-length mirror, and put on her bunny ears headpiece.
...It's really cute.
There really isn't much fabric.
The soft, furry rabbit ears felt nice, so she raised her hand and pinched them.
This skirt has many complicated and intricate straps, and Momozawa Airi hasn't tied them yet, so the full effect of what it will look like after wearing it cannot be seen. The skirt just hangs loosely on her body.
Neck, waist, arms... everywhere.
Momozawa Airi sat on the bed with her head lowered, suppressing the alcohol-driven resentment in her heart that was clamoring, "This is so annoying, is this still something a human should wear?", and slowly tried to tie each strap.
She held up a strap dazedly and examined it for a moment.
The world seemed to be spinning, and a white ribbon seemed to turn into several before her eyes.
Momozawa Airi studied it for a long time with a dazed look in her eyes, and she felt her head getting more and more dizzy.
I just can't figure out how it is combined with several other straps to form the large, delicate and intricate bow in the try-on pictures I saw before.
“…”
So annoying.
Momozawa Airi lost her patience and became a little angry. She despairingly removed the bandage from her neck and threw it aside.
I don't want to tie it anymore.
Just take a look at it.
She slowly climbed to her feet, her eyes casually glancing towards the doorway as she tried to look in front of the full-length mirror again.
“…Huh.”
Momozawa Airi blinked and found that Matsuda Jinpei had been standing there for some time.
His hair was still a little wet and he was holding a glass of water in his hand.
...How long has he been standing there?
The alcohol seemed to have slowly and completely taken over her sanity, and Momozawa Airi felt her mind was blank.
All thoughts seemed to be immersed in the boundless ocean, and were washed onto the beach by waves from time to time.
Click.
Momozawa Airi stared blankly at Matsuda Jinpei, whose eyes were somewhat ambiguous, and inexplicably thought of——
Are his fingers very nimble?
If he can dismantle equipment and bombs, tying... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight straps shouldn't be a difficult task.
"Can you tie it for me...?"
Momozawa Airi tilted her head and felt the furry rabbit ears drooping gently on the side of her face.
She didn't hear Matsuda Jinpei's answer clearly, but she felt the mattress beside her sink slightly.
Jinpei Matsuda sat behind her and put the water on the bedside table.
Momozawa Airi stared blankly ahead, bored.
The wave hit again.
Click.
She remembered that Jinpei Matsuda had an injured finger.
Momozawa Airi turned her head hastily, her rabbit ears wagging: "Hey, forget it, you..."
Before she could see clearly, her head, which had already turned halfway, was fixed by Matsuda Jinpei's hand, and then he urged her to turn back slowly without any objection.
"Don't move."
Just a glance, she vaguely caught a glimpse of the other person's dangerous eyes.
Momozawa Airi vaguely felt that Matsuda Jinpei casually raised his hand and twisted two straps, as if he was completing the last set of steps with ease.
The other person had just come out of the bathroom, with a faint heat lingering around his body, mixed with a bit of hot breath, which sprayed directly on the back of her neck.
“…”
Momozawa Airi instinctively shrank back, and felt her bunny ears sway.
She didn't know how long it had been before she felt Matsuda Jinpei's hands on her shoulders, moving her whole body towards her.
Momozawa Airi leaned lazily against the head of the bed. With her back supported, she instantly relaxed a lot.
She looked directly at Matsuda Jinpei and realized that the dangerous look she saw at that moment was like an illusion.
Nothing happened.
Jinpei Matsuda's eyes were as clear and calm as a lake on a sunny day.
He held a strap in his hand and nodded at her: "The last one."
Momozawa Airi followed suit and nodded: "Yeah."
The rabbit ears wiggled.
Then he watched helplessly as his hands were bound by the straps.
It also has a beautiful bow tie.
Momosawa Airi: "...?"
A huge wave of memories came over me.
Snap, snap, snap.
Countless fragments of memories were ruthlessly thrown onto the shore.
And the eyes that were like a lake on a sunny day just now suddenly switched to a cloudy mode very naturally.
A violent storm seemed to be about to hit.
Momozawa Airi belatedly realized the lurking danger.
...But my back was against the headboard, with nowhere to retreat.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
