Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Enthusiastic Citizens Kick a Bento
It was very easy when I was riding alone, but with Jinpei Matsuda on the back seat, riding a tandem bike became a bit difficult.
“…”
Momozawa Airi rode her bike breathlessly, feeling that she had taken on too much.
The tandem vehicle was located right on the uphill slope of the park, and was moving uphill at a snail's pace visible to the naked eye.
She took a deep breath, trying to save face, and maintained a calm tone: "...How is it? Staying behind me, do you feel safe? Do you feel your heart beating faster? Ehhhhhhhhhhhh——"
Before she could finish her words, Momozawa Airi, whose legs were sore, stopped pedaling and the tandem bike began to slide backwards.
Momozawa Airi: "????"
My heartbeat really quickened...!
Her scream was still stuck in her throat when she felt the tandem vehicle's backward movement stop.
Behind him, Matsuda Jinpei lazily responded with a succinct comment: "Roller coaster replacement."
The speech was slow and steady, and it didn't sound like he had just been through exercise.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She thought for a moment, then turned angrily to look at Matsuda Jinpei, who was holding the ground with his legs. "Did you not step on the pedals at all just now?!"
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows at her and calmly curled the corners of his lips.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Momozawa Airi angrily denounced: "Too much!"
She happened to be out of energy, so she got out of the car in a dreadful manner: "It's my turn to rest, you go ahead and fight."
After changing seats, Momozawa Airi sat leisurely in the back seat, swapping the lazy roles in a very professional manner.
In the evening, there are still many people taking leisurely walks in the park.
There were also high school students gathered in groups of three or four to play together, and many of them were riding bicycles - the single-person kind.
The evening breeze was a little chilly, and Momozawa Airi, who was wearing thin clothes, felt the breeze for a while and couldn't help but let out a soft hiss.
The car stopped suddenly.
Momozawa Airi: "?"
She raised her head in confusion: "You have no strength left? No way, the time is shorter than mine——"
He put the suit jacket that had just been draped over Matsuda Jinpei's shoulders on her without any hesitation, interrupting her next words.
It creates a light minty scent.
"Only fools catch colds easily."
The tandem vehicle was once again driving smoothly on the road.
This casual remark was blown away by the evening breeze in the park.
“…”
Momozawa Airi held her suit with her hands and looked at Matsuda Jinpei's back.
The simple white shirt outlines his tall and slender figure, and the muscle lines can be vaguely seen under the thin fabric.
His slightly curly hair was blown by the wind, not quite smooth, revealing a somewhat unruly temperament.
Momozawa Airi let out a soft click of the tongue.
If only this wasn't a tandem.
She can then hug the other person's waist.
As they passed the cherry blossom avenue in the park, Momozawa Airi suddenly asked.
"...Which kindergarten did you go to?"
Jinpei Matsuda announced a name.
"What about elementary school?"
Jinpei Matsuda named another school.
…
When Momozawa Airi asked about high school, Matsuda Jinpei paused, named a school, and then casually asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Momozawa Airi dragged out a sound: "Because——"
She kept people in suspense and there was no further news for a long time.
The tandem bike suddenly sped up, and Momozawa Airi exclaimed, catching a glimpse of her flying hair.
“…Why did it suddenly speed up?! My hair is going to get messed up!!”
"Hurry up and speak." Jinpei Matsuda's voice came very clearly from the front.
“…”
Momozawa Airi raised her eyes and looked at the curly-haired man in front of her.
...Even though she had just seen Jinpei Matsuda at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, she felt that the man who had become Captain Matsuda seemed to have become much more mature and stable without her noticing.
But when I get along with her, I still seem to instinctively reveal some childish and immature temperament.
“…”
Momozawa Airi's heart moved, and taking advantage of the fact that Matsuda Jinpei couldn't see, she smiled a somewhat happy smile.
"I just feel—"
Her voice was carried away by the wind.
"It would have been better if I had met you earlier."
If only... her life experience and that of Jinpei Matsuda had intersected earlier.
"but……"
Students on bicycles passed by in groups of three or four.
As Airi Momozawa listened to their cheerful and noisy voices, the smile on her face deepened.
She held down the hem of her suit jacket that was blown by the wind with her hand, looked at Jinpei Matsuda's back, and added softly.
"It's good like this now."
*
In November, the temperature dropped a lot.
An ordinary working day.
On the streets, there were long queues of crowded cars.
In the taxi, Momozawa Airi, holding a pile of heavy books, eagerly peeked out, "Excuse me, is there a traffic jam ahead?"
The driver was also anxious and sighed helplessly: "There seems to be an accident in a nearby block. The police have implemented traffic control. I think the traffic jam here will last for a long time."
Momozawa Airi asked about the time and the driver told her the truth.
It’s getting late.
Momozawa Airi was confused for a while.
…She forgot to charge her phone last night and only discovered it was completely dead after she left the house. She couldn’t even check the news or the time while commuting.
It looks like we're going to be late.
She pondered the distance between the law firm and here for a moment, then finally pulled out her wallet and said, "Excuse me, I'll get off here."
Momozawa Airi opened the car door and hurried forward.
She has been working as an assistant in Lawyer Fei's office for some time. The pile of reference books in her hand were given to her by Lawyer Fei, who said they could give her some inspiration.
Momozawa Airi brought them to the law office every day and took them home after get off work.
She had met Lawyer Fei at a homecoming event before. She was her senior who had graduated many years ago.
At that time, after chatting for most of the day, Attorney Hime, who had just established the law firm, extended an olive branch to Momozawa Airi and asked her if she was interested in being her assistant intern.
Momozawa Airi had heard of this senior's name and knew how outstanding she was.
Concubine Yingli.
Momozawa Airi agreed, thinking that she could learn a lot from the other party.
Maybe she can start her own business and open an office in the future =v=
As the exam time was getting closer, Momozawa Airi quit her part-time job at the cafe, but she never quit her job as an assistant.
The sensible Eri Kisaki usually doesn't give her too many tasks, as she feels she can balance work and review.
…
The weather is quite cold.
Momozawa Airi, wearing only a thin autumn outfit, hissed softly and tried to block the wind with a book.
Lawyer Fei will take her to meet a client in the afternoon.
Momozawa Airi was very excited - this was her first time meeting a client!
She gritted her teeth and went out wearing high heels for the first time.
Momozawa Airi was not used to high heels. Although she tried to walk faster, she still walked very slowly and staggered a little.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She felt that she might really be late.
As they passed by an alley, Momozawa Airi yawned, thought for a moment, and remembered that they could take a shortcut here.
...There's a vending machine on the street at the end of the alley, so go buy a glass of water there.
I’m so sleepy. I got up too early.
I really want to sleep.
“…”
Momozawa Airi walked in silently.
Although it was broad daylight, the alley felt strangely eerie.
Not a single person.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
How can there be such a place in the city? !
So scary QAQ
Momozawa Airi swallowed and continued walking forward, her high heels making a clattering sound on the cobblestone road.
Da da da.
Da da da.
From the other end of the alley came the faint sound of... a police siren?
Momozawa Airi frowned.
...What exactly happened?
She turned a corner along the road and ran into a man who was also in a hurry.
Heavy collision.
There was a soft snap.
"hiss……"
Momozawa Airi almost sprained her ankle. She struggled to stand and found that there was something like a remote control on top of the pile of books in her hands.
Maybe it was dropped by the other party.
At the same time, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded rapidly in her mind.
【Luckily, the only remote control device is not in that idiot's hands. 】
[I'll blow them all up when I get back to the car... Where did this woman come from?!]
She heard the man swear.
Not the voice of the heart.
But speak.
“…”
The moment Momozawa Airi heard the word "exploded", she instinctively stepped aside, tightly protecting the remote control with her hands.
Ever since Jinpei Matsuda joined the Explosion Prevention Team, she has become very sensitive to bombings in the news.
She gets scared every time she sees a bombing.
Because Jinpei Matsuda might be on his way to the dangerous scene.
The man wearing glasses seemed to be guilty of his crime. When she bumped into him suddenly, he seemed to be frightened and was stunned for a long time.
He didn't come to his senses until Momozawa Airi had moved some distance to the side.
After seeing her appearance clearly, the man seemed to think that she was easy to deal with. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if he wanted to take the remote control device directly.
“…Give it back to me.”
After hearing the other person's thoughts, Momozawa Airi ignored him. She cursed the high heels in her heart and moved as quickly as she could towards the exit of the alley.
...Call the police, call the police quickly.
She heard footsteps behind her getting closer and closer, and the man was chasing her like a madman.
“…”
Momozawa Airi pursed her lips and forced herself to calm down.
...There really seemed to be a faint sound of sirens on the other end.
Momozawa Airi immediately started shouting for help and nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding the knife that the man was trying to stab at her.
Being caught up.
Momozawa Airi knew that she probably couldn't escape, so she tried hard to hide the remote control device.
Ah, ever since that high school graduation scuffle...
It seemed like she hadn't fought in a long time.
*
"How many times have I told you to wear a bomb suit?! Didn't I remind you before we left today?!"
Jinpei Matsuda punched Hagiwara Kenji fiercely on the shoulder, ignoring his pitiful murmurs, and continued to give him safety education.
"You also heard the news from headquarters just now - the suspect tried to detonate the bomb again, but ultimately failed and was stopped."
Jinpei Matsuda gritted his teeth, and his fierce gaze seemed to be able to stick directly to Kenji Hagiwara's face through the lenses of his sunglasses.
"What would you do if he really succeeded in detonating it?! Tell me!"
Hagiwara Kenji: "Jinpei, I'm so sorry... I won't do it again next time QAQ"
Matsuda Jinpei stared at him, feeling as if there was a volcano in his heart about to erupt.
The moment it was learned that Hagi had just had a brush with death, the volcano was almost at the critical point of eruption.
...Now it has been barely suppressed and the volcano has temporarily begun to dormant.
“…”
Matsuda Jinpei let out a long breath and was about to lash out at a few more harsh words when he overheard the voices of several police officers from the First Investigation Division talking nearby.
"Did it really almost explode just now...?"
"...Yes, I heard the news from over there that a caring citizen took the initiative to stop another knife-wielding bomber."
"There was actually another bomber... Sigh, but he got away anyway, and the surveillance cameras didn't capture him."
"That citizen seems to be injured and has been sent to the hospital. I heard he is from that very famous law firm."
“…”
Law firm… ?
Sensing a familiar element, Matsuda Jinpei instinctively turned his head. "...A kind-hearted citizen who took the initiative to stop the bomber?"
"Ah, she's a very brave girl."
A policeman who had handed over the work to him nodded.
Hagiwara Kenji also came over: "Hey, she saved my life, I want to thank her very much... Can I go to the hospital to see her now?"
"She's at Beika Central Hospital." The police officer recalled, "It seems to be... Miss Momozawa."
After a busy day, he lowered his head and was about to take a sip of coffee when he suddenly felt his desk being slammed.
The force was so great that his hands shook instinctively.
The coffee spilled.
“???”
The policeman who was drinking coffee looked up in surprise and saw that Matsuda Jinpei, who had been not far away, suddenly rushed to his desk, placed his hands on the table, and asked word by word, "Miss Momozawa?"
Matsuda Jinpei stared at him intently, feeling that the volcano in his heart seemed to be brewing, and it was only a name away from erupting.
"Yeah, that's right." The policeman put down his coffee in a daze. "Momozawa Airi... I think that's her name."
Then, he watched helplessly as the captain of the explosive squad, who had just been giving a fierce safety education, rushed out.
The documents on his desk were even blown to the ground by the gust of wind created by the captain's running.
police:"?"
Are you in such a hurry to visit...?
He said blankly: "If you want to buy a fruit basket, I know a place-"
Before he could finish his words, he watched helplessly as another captain of the explosive squad, who had just been receiving safety education, also rushed out.
"Zhen Ping——wait for me——"
Another gust of wind.
The documents that had just been sorted out were all blown into disarray.
police:"……"
*
Kenji Hagiwara considers himself a very good driver and calls himself the fastest driver in the virgin class.
Until today, when he was riding in the car driven by Jinpei Matsuda, he felt a little dizzy for the first time.
He sat in the passenger seat, dialing Momozawa Airi's number while glancing at Yukino's hands tightly gripping the steering wheel.
Veins popped out.
It's like a bomb that can explode at any time.
…
“…I can’t get through.”
After dialing for an unknown number of times, Hagiwara Kenji frowned, put down his phone, and looked towards the gate of Beika Central Hospital not far away.
Jinpei Matsuda parked the car almost in a drifting posture, pulled off his seat belt and rushed out.
He took out his police ID in a rage and went up to the ward according to the address of the "concerned citizen who had just been sent to fight with the knife-wielding bomber" he had asked about.
There was a nurse pushing a cart out at the ward door.
She gently closed the ward door and was about to push the cart away when two panting men suddenly rushed out in front of her.
The nurse was startled: "You——"
She had barely said half of her words when the curly-haired man in sunglasses in front of her opened the door and rushed in.
The purple-eyed man behind her took out his police ID and gestured to her with a polite smile.
"How is she?"
…
The moment Jinpei Matsuda rushed into the ward, he saw Momozawa Airi curled up in the quilt.
She closed her eyes and breathed steadily.
“…”
Jinpei Matsuda took a deep breath.
He had rushed over very quickly just now, but now that he saw her, Matsuda Jinpei walked over slowly.
Jinpei Matsuda took off his sunglasses and stared at Momozawa Airi's face, and found that her complexion was a little pale.
He slowly stretched out his hand, intending to see where her wound was, but the moment he touched the corner of the quilt, he finally put it down.
If you get a wound...
It was not quiet outside the ward.
But Jinpei Matsuda seemed to be able to only hear his own heartbeat.
There is also the voice that has been suppressed for a long time and is about to burst out.
*
Momozawa Airi's eyelids moved and she suddenly woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes and found someone next to the bed.
"Sister nurse, did you help me bring—"
She had just begun to whisper when she was interrupted by the other party's action.
The other person leaned over.
Hot breaths magnified in front of her.
“…Airi.”
It was Jinpei Matsuda's voice.
He spoke slowly and in a steady voice.
But there was a vague feeling of trembling.
Momozawa Airi suspected she had misheard: "?"
Momozawa Airi looked at Matsuda Jinpei who suddenly appeared out of nowhere in a daze, and was completely dumbfounded.
She noticed that Jinpei Matsuda's eyes were a little red.
It's not the kind of red that makes you cry, but the kind of red that's a little dangerous.
It exudes a strong sense of oppression.
"...Where did he hurt you?"
Jinpei Matsuda stretched out his hand, as if wanting to get closer to her, but eventually retracted it.
Momozawa Airi instinctively shrank into the quilt: "Actually——"
The door of the ward happened to open.
"Aili, are you okay—"
Hagiwara Kenji's voice came from far away.
Kenji Hagiwara himself also appears from far to near.
He moved closer to the bed and put down a charging cable. "Luckily, the sprain wasn't too serious. I got you the charger. Thank you so much for saving me."
Then he began to talk incessantly about his gratitude.
Airi Momozawa didn't quite understand why she suddenly saved Kenji Hagiwara, but her ears accurately captured the element of "charger".
Momozawa Airi sat up suddenly: "Charger!!"
The movements are very flexible.
Matsuda Jinpei: “?”
He was stunned, watching Momozawa Airi happily charging her phone.
"Finally, there's electricity... I need to call Lawyer Fei and ask for leave."
Matsuda Jinpei's voice sounded a little dazed: "You——"
Hagiwara Kenji explained sympathetically, "The nurse said Airi sprained her ankle while wearing high heels."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Hagiwara Kenji didn't continue explaining. He looked at Momozawa Airi with a smile: "Are you hungry, little Airi? I'll go out and buy you something to eat now! What do you want to eat?"
He just finished asking and then continued: "—Just buy one of everything! I'll be out for a while!"
Momozawa Airi watched Hagiwara Kenji leave quickly.
The ward door closed again.
“…”
Momozawa Airi inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Jinpei Matsuda's aura seemed a little strange at this moment.
Seems...very angry.
Looks like I want to pinch her qwq
She rolled her eyes and was about to say something when she suddenly noticed that Jinpei Matsuda was reaching out his hand towards her.
“!!”
Momozawa Airi instinctively wanted to shrink back, but her chin was pinched irresistibly.
The force is very light.
She was forced to look at Jinpei Matsuda.
There seemed to be some turbulent emotions rolling in Jinpei Matsuda's eyes.
He looked at Momozawa Airi's pale face, frowned, reached out and gently pinched Momozawa Airi's chin, and looked her up and down and left and right for a while.
"...Are you sure it's just external injuries?"
Momozawa Airi: “…Huh?”
She blinked in confusion.
Matsuda Jinpei: "...You look very bad."
He looked like he was unconscious just now.
Momozawa Airi: "Oh...it's too cold. I'm wearing too little. I'm so cold...and I didn't sleep well this morning. I'm a little sleepy qvq"
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Momozawa Airi blinked and noticed that Matsuda Jinpei's expression was a little complicated for a moment.
He stared at her intently, and the faint redness faded a little.
Momozawa Airi: "Why don't you——"
She originally wanted to ask, "Do you want to sit down and talk?"
...Matsuda Jinpei stood looking down at her, feeling a strong sense of oppression qvq
Before she could finish her words, Momozawa Airi, who was sitting on the hospital bed, felt herself being embraced tightly in a warm embrace.
The kind that made her a little breathless.
Jinpei Matsuda hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck, pressed the back of her head with one hand, and pushed her tightly towards him.
Some messy curls rubbed against her neck, and his hot breath brushed against her skin.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
I can’t breathe anymore…
"…I'm glad you're okay."
She heard Matsuda Jinpei's somewhat muffled voice.
Just as Momozawa Airi was about to say something, Matsuda Jinpei spoke again.
"Take the initiative to stop a knife-wielding bomber—you have to explain this to me first."
This time there was a sound of gnashing teeth.
The tone is unfriendly.
Very dangerous.
"After your leg is healed, I will settle the score with you."
"Don't even think about escaping."
Momozawa Airi: "..."
A lot of scary and ferocious things flashed through my mind.
She weakly tried to pull back.
But I felt that Jinpei Matsuda was holding me tighter.
Airi Momozawa: QAQ
