March 20, Fire Sunday.
It's already spring, but the temperature today is strangely low.
Fujiwara Yu, a corporate slave who works diligently and doesn't work from nine to five, finally leaves work early near dusk. It's not that he intentionally passes his duties to his subordinates, but this day was really a bit torturous.
While riding his motorcycle to work in the morning, he encountered an elderly lady who had a sudden heart attack and needed to be rushed to the emergency room. When he came out of the hospital, he also met a junior high school girl who ran away from home and was nearly abducted by human traffickers. After experiencing many twists and turns, he finally arrived at the Osaka Police Headquarters to report. However, before he even pressed the elevator button, he was informed that a homicide had occurred in Tennoji District.
Because he was so unlucky, Otaki Goro waved his hand and let him go back to rest early.
Fujiwara Yu had just returned home and hadn't been playing for long when he heard the voice of Toyama Kazuha coming from the door. This made him instantly alert. Although his body and eyes did not move, his ears were perked up.
On the other hand, Hattori Heiji, who was originally sitting on the sofa with them, was like a hungry dog smelling dog food when he heard Toyama Kazuha's voice. He almost wagged his tail to show his courtesy.
But Hattori Heiji slammed on the brakes just before the goal was about to be scored. He slowed down his pace and pretended to be nonchalant. After opening the door, he leaned against the shoe cabinet, using his height advantage of a few centimeters to pretend to be mature.
"Hey, He Ye, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Um... Heiji, can you accompany me to Tomomi's house? I left my exercise book at her house, and I have an exam tomorrow, so I can't review tonight." Toyama Kazuha looked a little awkward when she said this. She was not the type to be good at lying, so she stuttered at the end.
She was extremely upset. If she hadn't accidentally mixed up her diary and exercise book, she wouldn't have had to run to someone else's house to ask for them back. Her biggest worry now was that her classmate Tomomi Matsushima had already opened the "exercise book" she had borrowed.
There were a lot of graffiti about Hattori Heiji, and even some inner monologues. If it was seen, the classmates would definitely make fun of it. If Heiji rejected her then... there would be no way... to continue staying by his side as his "sister".
"How could you be so careless, you idiot? You better be alert for the test tomorrow." Hattori Heiji ran back to the sofa and poked his head out to look at Touji Sosuke, who was pretending to sleep with a newspaper covering his face. He smiled brightly and said, "Touji-san, can you come with us? My parents aren't coming home for dinner tonight, so let's go out for a bite later!"
Failed to pretend to sleep · Fujiwara · Doesn't want to go out · Yu reluctantly pulled off the newspaper covering his face, and looked at Hattori Heiji who tricked him into going out with resentment. After experiencing some things, he was really a little afraid to go out with Hattori.
Whether it was the Sad Love Lake or the ski resort, these two big events made him numb, as if as long as he went out with Hattori Heiji, he would be able to get a "big surprise" by opening a blind box and drawing a hidden version. Such a surprise would be better off not having it.
"I don't want to..."
Fujiwara Yuu thought that the public security in Japan has indeed not been very good in recent years, and it is indeed not safe to let two minors go out together. Based on the principle that reliable adults should pay more attention to the healthy growth of minors, he swallowed his refusal.
He sighed softly and picked up the black windbreaker folded aside. He had already finished get off work but had the illusion of going out to work overtime.
"Forget it, I'll go with you and buy a pack of cigarettes."
"Mr. Yingsi, you'd better smoke less. After all, smoking is harmful to your health." Toyama Kazuha reminded with a smile. She quite liked to be accompanied by an adult police officer when going out. It gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
Fujiwara Yuu paused as he was about to take out his cigarette case. He pulled his hand out, touched the tip of his nose, and smiled faintly.
"Yes, I will."
After going out, Toyama and Ye said that they could just walk there.
Although the Tennoji and Ikuno areas are separate districts, they are located close together and can be reached on foot.
It’s less than three kilometers on foot, so there’s really no need to drive. You can also buy some snacks along the way to fill your stomach.
Isn't that right? After only a few minutes of silence, the two of them started arguing about what flavor of ice cream to buy at the next intersection.
Hattori Heiji said that blueberry flavor was the right choice, but Toyama Kazuha disagreed and thought that strawberry flavor was the best choice - only Fujiwara Yu, who was walking in front and had already bought a cup of iced lemon tea, put one hand in her pocket and said that she didn't understand the romance between young couples.
They seem to feel uncomfortable if they don't quarrel for a few minutes.
"Huh? Who wants strawberry ice cream? It's awful! I'm definitely going to get the blueberry flavor!"
"Blueberry flavor isn't good. If you look at the list of popular ice cream flavors, you'll definitely find strawberry. You're the odd one out if you like blueberry!"
"Tsk, what's so delicious about satisfying the tastes of the masses?"
Listening to the two of them talking back and forth, Fujiwara Yu stood at the door of the ice cream shop with his eyes wide open, expressing his speechlessness. The argument between the two was like the question of the century: which tastes better, Coca-Cola or Pepsi.
He glanced at the two people who were still arguing, and his tone was helpless:
"I say, is there any need for you two to argue about this? Are you planning to get so sloppy you're eating an ice cream together?"
“!
!”
Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were stunned for a moment, then waved their hands in panic to indicate that it was not the case. The look in their eyes when they paused before seemed to give the impression of trying to cover up something.
Hey... these two kids must have just imagined eating an ice cream together.
