62 Listen, Touzi's abacus is crackling
◎Caught in the act!◎
"It's me."
As the voice was heard outside the door, Chihoko Hanano and Rei Furuya both breathed a sigh of relief.
When Fūya Rei opened the door, the first thing that caught his eye was an unusually striking head of blonde hair.
"Hey, Jōtani, your hair is messy." Shibata Masaru said bluntly.
The instigator, Chihoko Hanano, couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in her heart.
After realizing it, Jōya Rei smiled and lowered his eyes to tidy himself up.
Shibata Masashi glanced into the room and saw Hanano Chiheko. He immediately smiled as if to predict what would happen: "Ha, I knew you were here!"
"Shh!"
Hanano Chiheko searched around and quickly pulled Shibata Shoichi inside. "Keep your voice down! If Auntie finds us again, all our efforts would be in vain."
Only then did Masakazu Shibata come back to his senses from the ecstasy of having escaped with his "accomplices" and made an OK gesture in a serious manner.
Standing nearby, Rei Furuya noticed something interesting in Shibata Shoichi's words and asked, "How did you know Kazuko was with me?"
When Hanano Chiheko heard this, she suddenly realized something, her whole body shuddered, and she turned to look at Shibata Masakazu.
As expected, Hanano Chihoko saw Shibata Shoichi's eyes shifting between her and Furuya Rei the next moment.
It’s going to be bad!
Before Hanano Chiheko could even move, Shibata Shoichi had already taken the initiative to bite her. "Of course it's you... mmm..."
"Hehe." Hanano Chiheko quickly covered Shibata Shoichi's mouth with her hand, using her awkward smile to cover it up. "He meant to guess~"
Naturally, Furuya Rei didn't ignore Hanano Chihoko's awkwardness, but faced with the obvious lies of the two people in front of him, Furuya Rei didn't want to pursue the matter...
Furuya Rei's eyes passed over Hanano Chihoko's hand covering Shibata Shoichi's, and he turned to Shibata Shoichi and said, "Are you okay with this hair color?"
Chihoko Hanano gave Shibata Shoichi a warning look and let go to let him answer.
Shibata Shoichi learned his lesson and decided not to continue the previous topic. "Ah, well... there are still two days until Monday, so I'll try it myself first."
In this regard, Rei Furuya did not comment.
Hanano Chiheko, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, it was a false alarm. Before Auntie notices, Shoichi and I should slip away quickly."
As she spoke, Hanano Chiheko touched Shibata Masakazu's arm, and Shibata Masakazu understood, "Oh, yes, yes, we won't bother you anymore."
When Rei Furiya heard the key words, his heart became gloomy for a moment. When Hanano Chiheko turned around, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed Hanano Chiheko.
Chihoko Hanano paused, turned around and looked at Rei Furuya in confusion.
Only then did Furuya Rei realize what he had done. His mind raced as he looked up at Hanano Chiheko with concern and said, "You're in such a hurry to leave. What if you run into your aunt who's still looking for you?"
Hanano—a truly unlucky person—Chihoko's expression showed a hint of hesitation: "That's true."
"Oh, what a coincidence!"
Shibata Masakazu patted Hanano Chihoko's shoulder with confidence, trying to give her strength in this physical way, "I'm still lucky."
In response to this, Chihoko Hanano, who had just experienced escape with the lucky guy Masakazu Shibata, couldn't help but look doubtful.
The next moment, as if to verify Hanano Chiheko's true feelings, her aunt's voice suddenly came from outside the door, asking: "Furiya-kun, are you asleep?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the house, which was heated, suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The bright smile on Shibata Masaichi's face, which hadn't yet faded, instantly collapsed. He quickly turned to look at Hanano Chiheko and Furuya Rei, and whispered, "What should we do?!!"
At the critical moment, Hanano Chiheko actually felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she had asked Shibata Masakazu to speak in a lower voice, otherwise her aunt would have heard a live broadcast as soon as she stood at the door.
But the current situation is urgent and Chihoko Hanano doesn't have time to think too much.
Chihoko Hanano immediately pointed at the cabinet where she had just hidden and quickly asked Shoichi Shibata to hide in it.
Wherever Hanano Chiheko points, Shibata Shoichi hits.
Shibata Masakazu immediately moved quickly and tried to get in, but in the next moment he suddenly had an idea and stopped.
"Come in quickly." Hanano Chiheko urged more and more anxiously.
Fūya Rei immediately saw what Shibata Masakazu was struggling with, and quickly took out Hanano Chihoko's little yellow sweatshirt and handed it to Shibata Masakazu.
Masakazu Shibata took the sweatshirt, put it on without delay, and hurried in.
When Shibata Masakazu hid in the closet, Hanano Chiheko realized that the space in the closet was small. It was difficult to accommodate the tall and strong Shibata Masakazu, let alone her.
After searching around, Jōguchi Ling couldn't find any hiding place in the house, and his face became grim.
In a flash, Chihoko Hanano thought quickly and stepped behind the door.
Rei Furuya immediately understood Chihoko Hanano's thoughts and immediately took action to pull her back.
Before Hanano Chiheko could even be surprised, she was pushed down on the bed by Furuya Rei without any explanation.
"You..." Chihoko Hanano stuttered for a moment.
"It's not safe there." Furiya Rei explained in a low voice while quickly covering Hanano Chiheko with a quilt and posing her in the shape after casually lifting the quilt.
"Don't make any noise." Fūya Rei gave his final warning.
Chihoko Hanano looked at Rei Furuya and felt inexplicably at ease. She nodded and let Rei Furuya cover her head.
The next moment, Furuya Rei opened the door.
The dorm manager was always very patient with Rei Furuya. This time, she didn't knock on the door, fearing that he would be disturbed. Seeing Rei Furuya's inexplicably fluffy hair, she couldn't help but look apologetic: "Did I disturb you?"
"How could that be?" Furuya Ling's tone was as gentle as before, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
The dorm manager took out a handbag and said, "This is the wolfberry I mentioned earlier. I just happened to find it when I went back. I was afraid I would forget it later, so I thought I would just bring it to you."
Fūya Ling took it with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Don't be so polite." Although the dormitory aunt said this, her face was wrinkled with a smile. "Well, you go to sleep first. I'm leaving now."
The tension in Fūya Rei's eyes dissipated a little, "Okay, take care, Auntie."
"Oh, okay."
Unexpectedly, just as the aunt turned around, a slight noise suddenly came from the room.
Masakazu Shibata quickly grabbed the clothes hanger that was dangling against the cabinet, and regretted in his heart why he relaxed his guard and leaned back after hearing the aunt leave.
At this moment, Fūya Ling's heart tightened at the door, and his aunt's footsteps also paused. She turned her head and looked towards the inner room in confusion, "Is there some noise?"
Fūya Rei's expression remained unchanged, instead he looked confused, "What?"
Most people would subconsciously think they had misheard when seeing this scene, but the dormitory manager, with her sixth sense developed from years of experience in "criminal investigation", immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Let auntie come in and take a look." Auntie walked into the house without saying a word and looked into the dim room vigilantly.
With a "click", the light came on, and the only place in the house where someone could hide was the cabinet.
The aunt walked towards the cabinet, and suddenly stopped when she passed by the bed where Chiheko Hanano was.
Fūya Rei's expression froze for a moment.
The aunt looked at the bedding that looked normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she felt inexplicably awkward, and walked slowly forward.
Chihoko Hanano's little rabbit radar was beeping under the quilt, and she couldn't help but sweat all over her forehead. Unfortunately, she was also a rabbit wrapped in the net. If she moved a little, all her efforts would be wasted.
The situation cannot be allowed to continue. Fūya Ling quickly thought of his response and took a step forward. However, before he could open his mouth, he suddenly heard a "bang!"
The loud noise beside her made the aunt reflexively look at the living person who suddenly jumped out of the cabinet.
Shibata Masakazu had a heroic expression on his face, "Auntie, I surrender!"
Then, for comic effect, he immediately put on a pitiful face, clasped his hands together and shook them back and forth, "Please don't tell my instructor..."
When the aunt saw the man's face and the yellow sweatshirt, she immediately became furious. She took two steps forward and was about to pull Shibata Masakazu's ear, "Okay, I told you your clothes looked familiar, and you let me, Jōgō-kun, lie for you!"
"Hiss...it hurts, it hurts, Auntie, please be gentle..."
The two of them sang and shouted as they left the house.
With a "click", Furiya Rei locked the door, walked to the bed and lifted the quilt. He saw Hanano Chihoko, whose hair was messily stuck to her temples and her cheeks looked red, perhaps because she was nervous or because the quilt was too warm.
"It's okay, Kazuko." Furiya Rei used a tissue to wipe the sweat off Hanano Chiheko's face.
Hanano Chihoko's brain went blank for a moment after the intense tension, and it took her a long time to find her voice again, "What should we do with Shoichi-kun?"
"It's okay," Fūya Rei soothed him, "At most, he'll have to dye his hair back and run a few laps as punishment."
To reassure Hanano Chihoko, Furuya Rei added: "Shoichi is often punished to run laps, don't worry."
Hanano Chiheko breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up. "I can't stay here for long, so I'm leaving now."
But he didn't expect that as soon as he stood up, he was pushed back by Fūya Rei.
"Um...Fangya-kun?"
Furiya Rei dodged Hanano Chihoko's annoyed look and explained, "But if I were your aunt, I'd definitely be keeping a close eye on everyone entering and leaving the gate. If you go down now, wouldn't you be walking into a trap?"
"We're not afraid of ten thousand, but we're afraid of one." Hanano Chiheko said hurriedly.
Furuya Rei said, "Now that we have that little yellow sweatshirt as a guarantee, Auntie will just think that the person she just chased after was Shibata Shoichi. Now that Shibata Shoichi has been arrested, this is the so-called darkest place under the lamp, which means the safest place right now."
Hanano Chiheko was persuaded by Furuya Rei, "What should we do? We can't stay here forever."
Seeing that Hanano Chiheko had loosened up, Furuya Ling said the answer he had thought of long ago, "Midnight, wait until midnight, when Auntie is resting, I have a way to send you out."
midnight……
Hanano Chiheko's eyes flashed and she looked at Furuya Rei.
