The old-fashioned sixth man in the police academy——Ishii Kazuki 21

In Ishii Kazuki's room, Matsuda Jinpei was greeted by the pleased gazes of Furuya Rei and Hagiwara Kenji, "What are you doing?" Matsuda Jinpei sat on the ground carelessly, "I got into the police academy after all, I won't turn myself into an incompetent policeman, and personal feelings won't affect my arrest of criminals!"

Hagiwara Kenji stroked Matsuda Jinpei's curly hair, "Little Jinpei has really grown up..." He even pretended to wipe away his tears, and stopped before his hair exploded, "But, people who use violence against women are indeed unforgivable."

"But lynching cannot be abused," Yi Dahang said with a serious face, "the law is the bottom line."

"But the law should also protect people," Ishii Kazuki said quietly, "unfortunately it is impossible to protect everyone."

"Ishii!" Furugaya Rei called out his name disapprovingly.

"I know, I know," Ishii Kazuki straightened up and raised his hands in surrender, "I won't do it like Chie-sister, after all, I'm also a police academy student..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang held Ishii Ikki's shoulders and looked seriously into his brown eyes. "No, Ikki, we are not here to discuss morality or to warn you not to cross the line. We just want to say," he paused to make his next words clearer and more powerful, "Don't be like Miss Kurokawa, who has to handle everything by herself, okay?"

Ishii Kazuki was stunned for a rare moment. The faces of the gorillas that surrounded him all had similar concerns. He still remembered clearly how Kurokawa Chie got into the police car. The cherry blossoms, who had not yet encountered the cruel farewell in the future, were still hot-blooded young boys, trying hard to ease their own bad mood.

Ishii Kazuki's lips moved, and after a long while he finally uttered a word, "...I've seen the look in Sister Chie's eyes on another person."

He tried to organize his fragmented sentences, and spoke honestly bit by bit under the encouraging gaze, "That look of determination..."

"...Dad looked at me the same way before he left home."

Things became much easier after he started talking. With several audience members listening attentively, Ishii Kazuki's narration became smoother. "He was in a bad mood those days. After all, something happened in the store, which I can understand. He made me salt ramen for dinner, which was a bit mushy. He congratulated me on getting into college. Even though there were financial problems in the store, he didn't touch the savings reserved for my tuition..."

"Then I woke up the next day and didn't see him. The house was so clean that it didn't look like he could have cleaned it. I thought my dad just wanted to do a thorough cleaning to change his mood, but it wasn't until I found out that he didn't come home that night that I realized something was wrong."

"The ticket he bought was for Tokyo, and I wondered if he just wanted to come and see the university I was admitted to..."

"Things are never so perfect. I applied to the police academy. My dad said he hoped I would be a good police officer and help those in trouble."

Ishii Kazuki closed his eyes. His father, whose face was beginning to blur in his mind, was still holding a screwdriver, patiently explaining to him the difference between a flat lock and a cross lock. "So, I often think about it again and again. What details that I might have overlooked made my father make that decision?"
