Chapter 15 JK Detective 1
"Kurosaki-chan's malice towards Mika is quite strong."
Kurosaki Utsuki nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, in my six years in Karakura, I haven't met as many Hollows as I have in this past month."
Although it was an accidental encounter before and it is a chase now, there is no comparison between the two, but the fact is that she has seen too many Xu in Mihua!
The boy across from him laughed. "It's a job after all. Being a Death Agent is such a dangerous job, so the salary should be pretty high, right?"
"It's okay... Aren't you going to work?"
"Yeah, I'm going right away."
Now that the person who needed care had returned safely, Kenji Hagiwara packed up his things and prepared to leave, but when he was zipping up his bag, he suddenly remembered that there was something equally important that he had not asked.
"Kurosaki-chan, what do you want to do with this request from the robber? Are you going to just leave it alone?"
Although he didn't know what the request was, he felt that he shouldn't ignore it. This wasn't just a request from a robber, it was also a request from an earthbound spirit.
Because some people are still waiting for the truth.
The answer given by Kurosaki Utsuki was beyond his expectation: "No, I will take responsibility to the end this time."
She was fiddling with her phone, her movements lazy but righteous. "Although I'm a 'Death Agent' and have been entrusted with the work of 'Hell Girl', I can definitely uncover the truth as a 'JK Detective.'"
Just like the advice Urahara Kisuke gave her.
... Mainly because she had just checked and found that the reward for clues related to the incident issued by the police was quite attractive. Since she could get an excessive reward for completing the work, there was no reason to miss it.
That being said, the unsolved cases entrusted to her should all have a reward of some sort... She would research this later.
Although she had no intention of completely ignoring those cases, she had no motivation without a deadline, and these obvious rewards really gave her a strong push.
"Come and help too." Kurosaki Utahi said without looking up, not thinking that he would be rejected. "I will pay you."
Sure enough, the boy opposite happily agreed: "Okay."
The two naturally exchanged contact information, and then Hagiwara Kenji ran to the store where he worked. When he encountered a red light on the way, he looked at his mobile phone and found that the email from Kurosaki Utsuki was already in the mailbox.
"When are you free the day after tomorrow, come to my house and help me."
This sentence was followed by an address, which was not far from his home.
"Going to the girl's house..." He glanced at the traffic light that had not changed color yet and quickly replied "All day long".
Although he had attended birthday parties at girls' homes before, this was the first time they were alone together... He seemed a little nervous.
Thursday, April 30th
Golden Week has arrived, and the day before is a statutory holiday. The school has arranged the 30th and 1st, which are not holidays or weekends, into consecutive days off, meaning that we can rest from yesterday until the 5th of next month.
Of course, there is no conflict between working and the Golden Week holiday.
When Geto Xia Yu called, Kurosaki Utahi was having brunch and waiting for someone. She stuffed risotto into her mouth with a spoon in one hand and pressed the hands-free button with the other hand. Her voice was unclear: "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask when you can start work today. You should be at home now, right?"
The man who had been planning to escape work and had already successfully escaped the entire day yesterday was strangely silent for a second: "...How did you know today was a holiday?"
Logically speaking, the other party should have little understanding of the holiday arrangements in the real world and no time to observe humans, so she thought she could rest well.
"Just now, I buried a high school teacher who died in a traffic accident. Wait, you're not trying to avoid work, are you?"
"How could that be?" Kurosaki Utsuki answered quickly, and of course the turn of events followed quickly, "But I can't do that during the day. I have plans today."
As he was speaking, the doorbell suddenly rang.
She put down the spoon temporarily and stood up, holding her cell phone to open the door for the visiting Hagiwara Kenji. After turning off the hands-free function, she gestured to let the person who arrived earlier than expected come in first, still talking on the phone.
"Yeah, I have a date."
"It's a boy, yes... not a boyfriend."
"If you insist on thinking that, I have no objection. Then I will have to go on dates every night from now on, and Rice Flower City will be protected by you alone."
Kenji Hagiwara followed behind her. Although he didn't listen to her phone call intentionally, he could easily infer some information from it.
The person opposite should be the real Death God of Mika City that she had mentioned before. Judging from the tone of her voice, the relationship between the two should be quite good.
He was thinking about this yesterday. The real "Grim Reaper" was completely different from the ruthless being he imagined, holding a huge scythe and reaping human souls.
By the way, Kurosaki-chan's house is really big, but the last name on the doorplate is "Ishida", which is quite concerning...
Of course, what concerned him more was her outfit, a fluffy white long dress with layers of layers and bows. It should be a nightgown, definitely a nightgown!
Is it really okay for her to greet him, a member of the opposite sex, in her nightgown? Or is it that for her, human gender is nothing special, just like for humans, both male and female cats are cute?
Although, while feeling a subtle sense of frustration, he couldn't help but feel that this nightgown, no, it should be said that Kurosaki Utsuki wearing the nightgown... was really a bit cute.
·
Following Kurosaki Utsuki into the living room, Hagiwara Kenji immediately spotted the suitcase spread out against the wall. Half of it was empty, while the other half contained something neatly packed in a black plastic bag.
His curiosity was immediately piqued. After Kurosaki Utsuki hung up the phone, he looked at the suitcase knowingly and asked, "Are you going home after this, Kurosaki-chan?"
Even though he asked this, he didn't think it was luggage for taking home.
"That's a tool we'll need later." Kurosaki Utsuki put her phone aside. "Anything else you want to ask?"
He was stunned for a second, skipping the topic of pajamas in his mind: "Why Ishida?"
"Well, this is a spare house belonging to a friend of my mother's. Dr. Ishida is the director of a hospital in Karakura City. I'm just staying here temporarily. Do you mind if I finish my meal?"
As she said this, she picked up the spoon again and handed the work flow chart for today that she had scribbled on yesterday to the other person.
Recently, Nichijou TV has a very popular variety show, the theme of which is the talent show of ordinary people. Those who are interested in participating can submit their own videos through the official website of the program.
She planned to make a video of the so-called "reasoning" and the truth of the case and send it to the program crew - the photographer was Kenji Hagiwara, who she called in to help.
For this purpose, she also prepared a special detective suit.
It may be a little embarrassing, but which Sherlock Holmes fan can resist wearing the classic detective suit with a brown plaid deerstalker hat when playing the detective?
After eating, Kurosaki Utsuki went back to her room to change clothes. But just when she was halfway through changing, the second call came.
As soon as she saw the caller ID, she immediately wrapped herself in a blanket and strode into the living room, throwing the phone to Kenji Hagiwara, whose face was full of surprise.
"You come and pick it up."
"Eh? Me?" Looking at the note "Stupid Brother", Hagiwara couldn't help but feel confused. "But, the other party seems to be Kurosaki-chan's brother..."
Kurosaki Utsuki said simply: "Aren't you my 'boyfriend who will get married as soon as he reaches the age'?"
Suddenly recalling the embarrassing scene in the hospital not long ago, Hagiwara's breath hitched: "Didn't Kurosaki-chan explain that to brother?"
"What's there to explain? Just act well." The girl raised her arm and patted his shoulder solemnly. "Remember not to say anything you shouldn't say."
If you care about this, why don't you answer it yourself? How would he know what not to say?
But under the girl's expectant gaze, Kenji Hagiwara finally gritted his teeth and answered the phone.
...Shouldn't the first sentence be your name?
"Hello, I'm Kenji Hagiwara."
The other party reacted for a moment and remembered the name: "You were in the hospital that time..."
"Yes," Hagiwara Kenji answered, trying hard to get into the role, "I am Utahiki's boyfriend."
After hearing this, Kurosaki Utsuki felt very satisfied and went back to her room to continue changing her clothes.
The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds before speaking again: "Is Ge Xi busy?"
Seeing that the "supervisor" had left, Hagiwara Kenji lowered his voice slightly and replied helplessly: "No, she is not busy, she is just avoiding it."
“…I see.”
Although he felt it was inappropriate to get involved in other people's family affairs, considering his current status as "boyfriend" and the boy's voice sounding really depressed, Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but ask, "Is there any conflict between Kurosaki-nii and Utaki?"
"No, it's not so much a contradiction... It seems that because I accidentally heard something that Utah didn't want me to know, she disliked me unilaterally."
It turns out that even the God of Death would have this kind of awkwardness with his brother...
Since Kurosaki-chan is a god of death, then her family...
Wait a minute, does that mean things related to the "God of Death" are "things that shouldn't be said"?
Feeling like he had suddenly discovered the truth, Hagiwara Kenji straightened his expression and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The answer the other party gave was not much different from what he imagined: "If Ge Xi encounters any trouble, please be sure to let me know."
When Kurosaki Utsuki changed her clothes and returned to the living room, Hagiwara Kenji had just secretly exchanged contact information with Kurosaki Ichigo. Although he was not a real boyfriend, seeing that Kurosaki Utsuki lived alone in another place, if she really got into trouble, at least he could help contact her family.
·
It was in the study, and the first test shoot had come to an end.
As Kurosaki Utsuki was adjusting the shooting angles for the video, Hagiwara Kenji suddenly remembered the suitcase he had seen in the living room earlier: "Would you like to bring the filming props over?"
The girl didn't even raise her head: "Thank you for your help."
So a few minutes later, Kenji Hagiwara laboriously moved the black plastic bag, which was still stained with some dirt, to the study where the filming was taking place.
"Kurosaki-chan, what the hell is this?"
"Is it heavy?" The newly minted JK detective, having roughly determined the angle, put down his phone and walked over. He quickly ripped open the black outer packaging of the bag, revealing the inner woven bag, which looked like it contained agricultural products. "It's the weight of money, after all."
She found the opening of the woven bag that was tightly sealed with tape, and with a slight stroke of the spirit particles gathered at her fingertips, she opened the woven bag like magic, revealing the waterproof bag inside.
She unzipped it with her gloved hands, and what appeared before them was a brand new bundle of Natsume Soseki.
"—I mean, literally."
