76 Fireworks Display
◎Belated date◎
As time ticked by, Hanano Chiheko lowered her head slightly, her voice devoid of emotion. "Since you've been so tired lately, I'd come over to the organization and spend some time with you."
Gin faced the top of Hanano Chihoko's head and lifted her chin so that he could look into her eyes. His voice was slightly lowered, "Why are you running away?"
Chihoko Hanano knew that the fact that she appeared under Gin's nose actually spoke volumes.
Hanano Chihoko was forced to look up. Her eyes, which had been somewhat erratic, suddenly rebounded into a desperate state when they met Gin's gaze.
"What else? Do you want me to watch my brother suffer?"
Gin's expression changed, and his eyes darkened as he looked at Chihoko Hanano.
Chihoko Hanano still felt a little uneasy, and tried to hide it by hugging Gin.
"More than anything else, I don't want my brother to get hurt because of me."
Hanano Chiheko felt a slight tingle on the tip of her nose, and she said in a hoarse voice, "But I... I'm still late."
Just as the words fell, Gin's hoarse voice could be heard from above Hanano Chiheko's head: "Give me some time. No one from the Harada family can escape."
Although he was speaking comforting words, Hanano Chihoko inexplicably felt her hair stand on end.
Hanano Chihoko tried hard to ignore the sudden raging distracting thoughts and hugged Gin tightly, "I just want my brother to be safe."
Gin lowered his eyelids and silently hugged Hanano Chihoko for a long time, so long that both of their hearts were completely at peace.
"Bang!" Chihoko Hanano was startled by the sudden sound and turned to look out the window.
Within the field of vision, a brilliant firework exploded and scattered in all directions. It was so beautiful that Hanano Chiheko couldn't take her eyes off it.
“So beautiful…”
Gin seemed to realize something and let go of Hanano Chihoko, and they looked out the window together.
As Hanano Chiheko watched, she suddenly realized something.
Fireworks display!!
Chihoko Hanano immediately looked at the wall clock in the ward.
11 o'clock...
If Hanano Chihoko remembered correctly, the fireworks display had ended half an hour ago.
them……
cell phone!
Chihoko Hanano quickly touched her pockets, but unfortunately there was nothing.
The experience that night was so overwhelming that Chihoko Hanano didn't even know where to start looking for her phone if she lost it.
Gin saw everything, took out his phone, and said, "Aoki found it."
Chihoko Hanano took the phone and saw the concave creases and obvious water stains on the screen.
I think when Chihoko Hanano "jumped" from the building, she and her phone fell down together. No wonder she didn't feel anything.
Thinking about the photo album in her mobile phone, Chihoko Hanano looked dejected for a moment.
She always felt that something was about to disappear from her world along with the broken phone.
Chihoko Hanano rubbed the screen of her phone with her fingertips, her tone obviously forced.
"It fell... well, I can still buy a new one later."
At this time, Vodka heard the noise and knocked on the door and came in. "Brother, Hezi, you guys are awake. Do you want to eat something?"
Gin grabbed Hanano Chihoko and said to Vodka, "Take her away."
Walk?
Where to go?
Five minutes later, Vodka in the Porsche was still confused.
"Um..." Vodka looked at Hanano Chiheko in the rearview mirror, "Brother, where do you want me to take you? Do you have any idea?"
Hanano Chiheko put away her phone and said, "Let's go to the fireworks display."
When Hanano Chihoko arrived, although there were still many people at the fireworks display, it was obvious that it was time for the show to end and everyone to leave.
Chihoko Hanano ran quickly through the crowd, causing her ribs to ache.
She screened and identified the faces within her field of vision one by one, but none of them was what Hanano Chiheko wanted to see.
Chihoko Hanano vaguely heard the sound of sirens, but the sound became farther and farther away.
I could hear the sounds of children crying and refusing to leave, the clamor of vendors selling their last-minute bone fractures, and the scolding and apology of elderly people who were bumped into by playful young people...
The sounds came one after another, as if they were about to explode in Hanano Chiheko's ears.
Hanano Chiheko looked around suddenly, but couldn't find anything.
Disappointment was the most bland emotion among all the other emotions that Chihoko Hanano experienced during these two short days.
But it was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Chihoko Hanano.
In the end, Hanano Chihoko burst into tears like a child abandoned by her parents, desperately but in vain chasing after them.
It seems that if you take a step back, you will be left behind by those beautiful times and completely abandoned by the people in those times.
Her eyes were filled with tears and Hanano Chiheko could no longer see the person's face, but she still wiped her tears and searched in vain.
Before Chihoko Hanano completely ran out of strength, she was suddenly knocked down by someone.
“Hey!”
"You... Kazuko!"
Someone hit Jinpei Matsuda's shoulder. When he turned around and saw Chihoko Hanano clearly, his breathing suddenly stopped.
I couldn't believe that the dazed, fragile and embarrassed person in front of me was the energetic Chihoko Hanano not long ago.
Seeing Hanano Chiheko falling backwards like a rag after being bumped into by him, Matsuda Jinpei's heart stopped beating and he hurriedly reached out to grab her.
The imagined pain did not come as expected. On the contrary, the body was firmly supported by a gentle and powerful force.
Hanano Chiheko vaguely realized something and raised her eyes.
The golden color that had haunted Hanano Chiheko appeared in front of her eyes again.
Like fireworks suddenly exploding in the dark night, Chihoko Hanano's world once again welcomes the golden color that she has always longed for but has never been able to reach.
"Wakko!!"
The crowd became even more noisy because of this sudden little incident.
Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara, the late-arriving Kagemitsu Morofushi, and Rei Furuya who was holding someone, all looked at Chihoko Hanano.
For the first time, Hanano Chihoko felt a sense of reality. She simply ignored the strange looks of passers-by and threw herself into the arms of the nearest person, Rei Furuya.
Sensing the trembling of the person in his arms, Rei Furuya didn't have time to have any romantic thoughts and had already hugged Hanano Chihoko tightly.
"It's okay, Kazuko."
Chihoko Hanano's heartstrings, which had been able to hold tight, suddenly snapped after hearing the comfort.
With a "wow", Chihoko Hanano cried so hard that it was earth-shattering and heartbreaking, in front of the surprised gazes of the four police academy members.
It was not until Rei Furuya's shirt was soaked, revealing some of the texture of his chest muscles, that Chihoko Hanano finally stopped crying.
"Come, drink some water to replenish your energy." Jinpei Matsuda handed the mineral water to Chihoko Hanano.
Chihoko Hanano was indeed tired and thirsty, so she immediately raised her head and drank a few sips.
"Are you feeling better?" Furuya Rei wiped the tears from Hanano Chihoko.
"Hmm..." Hanano Chihoko nodded, her voice still with an unignorable nasal tone.
"What's going on, Owako?" Hagiwara Kenji approached Hanano Chihoko, his eyes no longer joking, but full of concern.
