30 Huh? Something's wrong
◎Nothing is right~◎
In the Porsche, the Seven Stars cigarette in Gin's hand formed a thick cloud of smoke, making it difficult for Vodka in front of him to see his expression.
"Boss, are we being too strict with Kazuko..."
The car was ablaze with light. Gin looked out the window. The halo of light from the fireworks cast a soft glow on his face. "The mad dog that the boss has been eyeing lately is becoming increasingly dishonest. He even disdains rum. I can't risk Kazuko."
Speaking of which, that group of people relied on their temporary usefulness to the boss and looked down on others with dog eyes all day long. They really don't know their own limitations.
Vodka remembered that Gin was injured last time, and it was largely due to their efforts. Although he didn't know why his elder brother didn't seek medical treatment immediately after being injured, but went to find Kazuko.
"But..." Vodka hesitated for a moment. "Brother, if you do this, I'm afraid you'll push Kazuko further away."
Gin looked at the brilliant fireworks in the distance, his tone cold and almost firm, "She won't leave me, never..."
"Ah, I really want to freeze this scene forever!" Under the fireworks, Chihoko Hanano raised her cup excitedly and almost spilled the hot cocoa.
Hagiwara Kenji helped Hanano Chiheko steady herself and joked, "Why is Chiheko still acting like a child?"
Chihoko Hanano stuck out her tongue playfully, and when she turned around, she found that Rei Furuya was also smiling at her.
"Why, are you laughing at me too?"
Chihoko Hanano put her hands on her waist and looked at Rei Furuya, like a little hedgehog with a bad temper, ready to scratch people at any time.
Furuya Rei nodded for some unknown reason, and before Hanano Chihoko could continue to insist, he added, "Very cute."
After Fūya Rei said this, the four of them were silent for a moment, with only the continuous sound of fireworks exploding one after another.
Chihoko Hanano was obviously the first to be stunned, staring blankly at Rei Furuya.
When Fūya Rei looked at her, his purple-gray eyes were beautiful under the light of the fireworks.
Jinpei Matsuda clutched the hanging scarf with his fingers, his expression slightly solemn.
Kenji Hagiwara's expression paused, and the semi-permanent smile on his face was slightly blown away by the night wind.
Suddenly, Jōgō Gōra woke up a little from the warm atmosphere, his earlobes flushed slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
Chihoko Hanano looked at Rei Furuya for a while, then pretended nothing had happened and lowered her head to drink her hot cocoa, but she accidentally choked because she drank too quickly.
“Cough cough cough…”
Chihoko Hanano felt short of breath and lowered her head to cough violently.
Furiya Rei came back to his senses and helped Hanano Chihoko calm down together with Hagiwara Kenji.
Chihoko Hanano was already feeling uncomfortable, and the cool wind made things worse, causing her to sneeze several times.
That’s enough!
Chihoko Hanano rubbed the tip of her red nose and sighed that today was one of the worst days of her life.
Hanano Chiheko was complaining in her heart when she suddenly felt a warmth on her neck. Seeing the familiar dark blue plaid pattern, Hanano Chiheko looked up in surprise.
Jinpei Matsuda had already stood in front of Chihoko Hanano and wrapped the scarf around her.
“Ah, this…”
"Stay close to me, or you won't blame me if you catch a cold!"
Jinpei Matsuda was harsh with his words, but his hands were quick and careful.
Feeling Matsuda Jinpei's slightly awkward concern, Hanano Chiheko muttered uncomfortably, "I'm not such an unreasonable person..."
Furukaya Rei, standing aside, was watching the expressions of Hanano Chihoko and Matsuda Jinpei as they spoke, the emotions in his eyes and brows tangled and incomprehensible.
When Hanano Chiheko disappeared just now, the thought that clearly emerged in his mind again made him unable to deceive himself anymore.
Before confirming that Kurosawa Kazuko is Hanano Chihoko, he can no longer allow this idea of compensation to spread and grow.
Now, Rei Furuya has no reason to ask Chihoko Hanano for anything.
Fūya Rei restrained himself and withdrew his gaze, silently drinking the hot cocoa in his hand that had already grown cold.
Fūya Rei's mouth was filled with bitterness after drinking it, even though it was made with milk and sugar...
Seeing Furuya Rei's face twisted a little, Hagiwara Kenji's brows fell on his hot cocoa. He also raised his head to drink it and stood up. "It's getting late, let's go back."
"Okay!" Chiheko Hanano stretched like a cat. After all this trouble, Chiheko Hanano felt very exhausted.
"Let's go!"
When Chihoko Hanano came back, the light in the school clinic was still on. Chihoko Hanano's arms were drooping, like a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies.
"Senior Sister?" Tomoaki Aida, who was working at the desk, stood up and quickly pushed a chair towards Chihoko Hanano.
Hanano Chihoko sat down, finally taking a breath, and asked Aida Tomoaki: "When did you wake up?"
"An hour ago."
Hanano Chihoko rested her head on her hands, lying on the desk, her head turned to Aida Tomoaki's side, her tone becoming full of longing, "That's great, this is the life I want to live lying down..."
"But isn't Senior Sister happy too?" Tomoaki Shinide also imitated Hanano Chihoko's posture and lay on the table. "Being able to go out and play with friends is also what Senior Sister likes, right?"
Hanano Chiheko was speechless and tilted her head to look at him. "Do you know that you are not cute like this?"
"Is it because I hit the nail on the head for my senior sister?" asked Tomoaki Aride.
"Yeah." Hanano Chiheko answered, and suddenly remembered something, "Just as unlovable as Kudo Shinichi."
Arata Tomoaki was surprised for a moment, "I thought Senior Sister really liked that clever detective."
"Indeed." Hanano Chiheko looked at the table. "I just don't like being around detectives."
"Why?" Tomoaki Arai almost blurted out.
Hanano Chihoko closed her eyes and said, "Because I don't like being spied on all the time, especially when I have little secrets in my heart that I don't want others to know."
Shinde Tomoaki understood and tilted his head and said, "It seems that Senior Sister has many little secrets."
"Of course!" Hanano Chiheko pretended to light a cigarette, "Don't look at me like this, I, your senior sister, actually have an unspeakable past~"
"Oh?" Xinde Zhiming's lips curled slightly, and he said sweetly, "That senior sister is amazing."
"Hehe, I'm okay." Hanano Chihoko's face flushed with the constant and pervasive praise from Aida Tomoaki. She subconsciously wanted to loosen her collar, but found that her scarf was still there.
Arata Tomoaki's eyes also fixed on this place at the same time, "Come to think of it, is this something that Senior Sister bought today? It suits you very well."
"No." Hanano Chiheko untied the scarf and folded it skillfully. "It belongs to that guy Matsuda. I forgot to return it, and he also forgot to ask for it."
So...
Tomoaki Arata looked at the scarf without saying a word.
"Okay, I'm going to go wash up and go to bed. Junior brother, you should go to bed early too, otherwise I should buy you some anti-hair loss shampoo."
Arata Tomoaki, who was inexplicably implied, smiled awkwardly:...That's not necessary.
At midnight, seeing the light in Hanano Chiheko's room dim, Tomoaki Aride got up.
After waiting for the person he was waiting for, Tomoaki Azaide turned off the lights and went back to his room to rest.
Hanano Chihoko lay down on the bed, closed her eyes gracefully, and soon fell into a sound sleep... No wonder!!
If he could still sleep after drinking a whole cup of hot cocoa late at night, Chihoko Hanano would have to bow down to him and imitate Tomoaki Akai to bombard him with sugar-coated bullets every day.
Chihoko Hanano jumped out of the bed and planned to go out for a walk. At this moment, she suddenly heard a faint rustling sound coming from upstairs.
Although the noise was very slight, it was already a level that could not be ignored for Chihoko Hanano, who had just finished a whole cup of hot cocoa and was extremely excited.
He's not sleeping in the middle of the night, maybe he's doing something shameful...
Chihoko Hanano, who was so sleepless that she had nothing to do, held her chin up and thought, anyway, she had seen all the horror movies on the screen, and there would be a live-action version or something soon... Chihoko Hanano was excited just thinking about it!
"Go and take a look!"
