Chapter 66 Please Walk by My Side

Some words are destined to be a flag that will fall down as soon as they appear.

For example, "I will never argue with Kamiya Aoi like an elementary school student."

This promise, which only appeared in Matsuda Jinpei's mind, disappeared like smoke within ten minutes after Kamiya Aoi appeared, looked at him twice, and said a few words.

The words that Shen Youkui said were - "Can the police perm their hair?"

Matsuda Jinpei: “?”

What does this mean? Even if I spoke in a low voice, I was looking at him. How could he not notice it?

As Kamiya Aoi finished her whisper, a barrage of comments rolled past Matsuda Jinpei's eyes like a tide, and each one was more outrageous than the last.

[Hahahahahaha Jiraimaki's life of being attacked!]

[All natural curls are good people! Apologize to Mazda’s curls now!]

[Shen Youkui, the modern master of mine sweeping—the kind that only cares about setting off mines but not defusing them.]

[Hagiwara’s expression is killing me with laughter]

[So, can police officers perm their hair?]

…

Considering that Kamiya Aoi had a natural expression and casual tone when asking the question, it seemed that she was just asking casually out of curiosity and not making a joke about his jimmy roll.

It's just the bullet screen that's adding fuel to the fire.

Matsuda Jinpei thought again, this was the first time he met Kamiyakui since the restart of this round.

So the words that were about to come out of his mouth, ready to say no, were swallowed back.

However, Hagi, who was trying not to laugh, had to be punished - Jinpei Matsuda, with a gloomy face, hammered Hagiwara Kenji twice behind the menu.

The two muffled "bang" sounds were hard to ignore.

Kamiya Aoi, who was originally looking at the menu, inexplicably raised her head and looked at the two of them, looking for the source of the strange muffled noise.

Facing Kamiyakui's puzzled gaze, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, a pair of childhood friends, immediately lowered their heads to look at the menu in tacit understanding.

But if you look closely, you can still see Hagiwara Kenji's shoulders trembling slightly when he lowers his head.

Jinpei Matsuda's cheeks were puffed out under the raised menu.

Shen Youkui looked around, pretended not to notice anything, and ordered a steak and burger set meal.

Seeing that he had already ordered, Kenji Hagiwara casually ordered a pork chop rice that would not go wrong.

"Well, let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend, Jinpei Matsuda. And this is my friend, Kamiya Aoi, who I treat like a younger brother."

Kamiya Aoi raised her eyes and looked at Matsuda Jinpei for a moment, then extended her hand and said politely, "Hello, Senior Matsuda. I am Kamiya Aoi, who has been taken care of by Brother Kenji. I am currently receiving training at the National Police Academy. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

This kid... he always has a different personality every time we meet.

Matsuda Jinpei silently complained, and also extended his hand to shake hands with Kamiya Aoi, "Matsuda Jinpei, there is no need to call me senior, just call me like you call me Hagi."

"Xiao Zhenping..." Hagiwara Kenji was a little surprised.

After all, in his impression, Jinpei Matsuda was always quite a troublemaker. He was not the type of person who would be so friendly and affectionate to the juniors he met for the first time and would let the other person call him brother the moment he opened his mouth.

Before Hagiwara Kenji could finish his surprise, Matsuda Jinpei said again, "Also, police, perming is not allowed."

Hagiwara Kenji: “…” He was overthinking it. The man who spoke so confidently was indeed that Jinpei Matsuda.

Kamiya Aoi: "...Okay, I got it, Jinpei-san."

I could hear his whisper, and sure enough, the strange gaze he felt outside the store was coming from Jinpei Matsuda.

Just now when he was outside the store, Shen Youkui keenly noticed that someone seemed to be staring at him.

After careful observation, Shen Youkui felt that the sight did not seem to be from the street, but more likely came from inside the store.

It is possible that the person looking over was Jinpei Matsuda, who arrived at the store earlier and looked over because Kenji Hagihara was walking beside him. In fact, he was looking at Kenji Hagihara.

So when Kamiyakui walked into the store, she whispered, "Can police officers get their hair permed?"

This is to test who Jinpei Matsuda is focusing his attention on...

After discovering that Matsuda Jinpei was looking at him, Kamiya Aoi was completely certain that her meeting with Hagiwara Kenji today might not be a coincidence.

Perhaps even the encounter with Morofushi Kagemitsu was not a coincidence.

But why is this?

Shen Youkui was puzzled. It was obvious that he had been repeating his previous actions since the start of this week's game. He hasn't had time to make changes or explore new plot lines.

"Xiao Kui..."

While Kamiya Aoi was thinking, Hagiwara Kenji was shocked when he heard him call him "Jinping-nii".

Because in his impression, Kamiya Aoi is not a person who can be obedient and honest!

What's more, this was only the first time I met Jinpei Matsuda!

"It seems that Xiao Zhenping and Xiao Kui get along very well." After being surprised, Hagiwara Kenji smiled and looked thoughtfully back and forth between his childhood friend and his younger brother.

affinity???

Hearing Hagiwara Kenji's comment, Matsuda Jinpei's mouth twitched, and he and Kam Yuuki, who had come to their senses, looked up at each other at the same time.

It’s just that I’ve gotten used to calling him “Brother Zhenping” when he was cheating people last episode - Shen Youkui.

It's just that I saw this guy committing suicide too many times, and after being cheated, I couldn't help but ask for some interest - Matsuda Jinpei.

Their eyes met, and they both turned their heads away in disgust, each picking up their tea and drinks and drinking them in gulps.

"Hahahaha, you really get along well!" Kenji Hagiwara looked at this scene and laughed happily.

He was worried before that Zhen Ping and Xiao Kui wouldn't get along, but his worry was in vain!

"Hagi!" Jinpei Matsuda couldn't stand it anymore. Was it necessary to laugh so loudly?

"Well, okay, okay. Let's not talk about this for now." Hagiwara Kenji glanced at the silent Kamyou Aoi and took the initiative to change the subject, "Aoi will be trained for six months, right? So the assignment will be next spring?"

"Yeah." Kamiya Aoi responded, "It's called spring, but it's almost summer."

Counting six months from October, graduation is indeed the end of spring.

"I remember that after the training at the Police Academy, very few trainees could come to the Metropolitan Police Department. Ah, so, isn't Xiao Kui a police officer in the future? Wow, that's incredible, that's very impressive."

Speaking of public security, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda both thought of someone.

It was possible to continue talking, but both of them were afraid that their words would bring out something unfavorable to their undercover friend.

In the midst of silence, the waiter came over with three sets of meals, which just covered up the unusual moment of silence.

Kamiya Aoi didn't notice this. He didn't realize there was anything wrong with his school before. Now, after Hagiwara Kenji's reminder, he remembered that if he graduated smoothly, he would become a direct junior of Furuya Rei...

——Fortunately, an accident happened later.

Kamiya Aoi said: "I don't want to be a police officer, I want to join the Metropolitan Police Department."

"The Metropolitan Police Department... that's not impossible." Hagiwara Kenji thought for a moment, "You don't want to take advantage of me, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Matsuda Jinpei also looked over, his expression seemed very natural.

Shen Youkui shook her head, "I want to join the Investigation Division."

"...Are you serious?" Matsuda Jinpei looked at Kamiya Aoi's thin arms and legs without any malice, and asked speechlessly.

The Investigation Division is responsible for various criminal offenses, and it is inevitable to fight wits and courage with criminals from all walks of life, and engage in hand-to-hand combat and pursuit.

And Shenyou Aoi... really looks very thin and weak.

Although Hagiwara Kenji didn't want to undermine his brother's self-confidence, his eyes clearly slid across Kamiya Aoi's slender wrists and thin shoulders.

Shen Youkui paused for a moment, "I'm a technical person."

"That's right!" Hagiwara Kenji immediately confirmed, "Aoi is a computer genius!"

He has experienced this several times before... Jinpei Matsuda thought calmly.

The meal time was over quickly.

As a police officer who was involved in the explosion, he was not worthy of taking a vacation. Hagiwara Kenji, who had originally planned to go shopping with Kamiya Aoi, received an urgent call from his boss just as he left the house.

So the original plan was aborted, and both Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei had to rush back to respond to the call.

Before leaving, Hagiwara Kenji seemed to have something to say to Kami Yuuki, but after hesitating for a while, this young man who always smiled gently and had unparalleled friendliness just patted Kami Yuuki on the shoulder, said "keep in touch", and turned and left.

Kamiya Aoi silently took note of Hagiwara Kenji's somewhat unusual behavior.

Matsuda Jinpei walked behind Hagiwara Kenji. Before he entered the station and boarded the train, Kamiya Aoi suddenly asked, "I heard from Kenji that you suddenly came to Shibuya to go shopping today because of Jinpei?"

No matter how he thought about it, he was still very concerned about the fact that the plot itself had changed. For AI deduction, this was simply impossible, and there must be some details that were overlooked.

Jinpei Matsuda didn't know what Kamiya Aoi was thinking, but he once again felt the boy's terrifying insight.

He knew that Shen Youkui must have felt that something was wrong, which was why she asked him this question, trying to test him and get information.

Matsuda Jinpei was helpless. What could he do? Could he say, "Because I know you will kill yourself several times in the future to avenge Hagi?"

This time everyone finally managed to refresh before Hagi died. I have to quickly let you talk more with Hagi and correct your extreme and radical personality, right?

Obviously not.

So Matsuda Jinpei said nonchalantly, "I haven't bought anything new for a long time, so I took Hagi out for a walk. What's wrong?"

Shen Youkui: "I see, it's just a coincidence."

What a coincidence, isn't it? I paid for it with your life. Matsuda Jinpei complained in his heart, and without thinking about Yuuki anymore, he followed Hagiwara Kenji into the car.

"I'll come see you again when I have time!" Hagiwara Kenji said goodbye to Kamiya Aoi in the car.

Kamiya Aoi smiled subconsciously in response.

After the train left, he stood there for a while, not knowing what he was thinking about. It was not until the next train arrived that Shen Youkui turned around and left.

What he didn't know was that while he was staring at the rear of the train, Jinpei Matsuda on the train was frantically sending messages in a group of three people, relying on his typing speed.

"He saw Hagi."

"As expected, this kid becomes well behaved when he sees Hagi..."

"He actually looked at my hair and asked, can police officers also perm their hair??? He must have done it on purpose!"

"He did it on purpose, brat..."

"He seems to have noticed something is wrong. Hiro, is it because your movements are too obvious that he noticed it?"

"Hey, you two, why haven't you replied to my message in such a long time? What new bullet screen did you see?"

Outside the station, Furiya Rei, who was wearing a gray uniform, a duckbill cap and carrying a toolbox like a worker, watched Kamiya Aoi disappear.

Pulling out his vibrating cell phone, the blond youth revealed a headache under the brim of his hat:

"…Matsuda, you really talk a lot."
