"So, Morobushi..." Matsuda Jinpei's words just now were obviously mainly for the guy behind him who had been reserved and unwilling to actively seek help from his friends. "I don't know what happened to you at the time. Although we may not be able to give you any advice if you tell us."
"But maybe we can still help you."
This should be a good opportunity, but Morobushi Jingguang turned his head and looked at something, muttering to himself, "Need......"
Huh?
Kasugawa Shugo followed his gaze and looked at the sign of a convenience store not far away, which was flashing. He frowned and looked carefully for a moment, "... Help... No way, that can't be Morse code."
"That's exactly it," Matsuda Jinpei carefully observed the convenience store, "... I have a way."
......Kasugawa Shugo's eyelids twitched a few times abruptly, and he looked at Matsuda Jinpei's smirking face, "Really? Why do I have a bad feeling?"
Ten minutes later, he was wearing a floral shirt with a green background and yellow pineapples, and a pair of sunglasses that Matsuda Jinpei found from somewhere. He was sitting in the car, staggering from side to side, with a look of despair on his face, "Where did you get so many... of these clothes?" He
couldn't find an adjective for the moment, but Kasugawa Shugo emphasized the four words "this kind of clothes", and his tone revealed a strong sense of disgust.
However...
"This one is definitely an SSR, I must sell it to Zero at a high price when I get back," he took a series of photos of Keimitsu Morobushi, who also changed into a floral shirt and sunglasses, "It's rare to see Keimitsu wearing this kind of clothes, come and look at the camera!"
"Shugo!" Keimitsu Morobushi blushed terribly, and reached out to grab the phone he raised, but was easily dodged.
"Shugo really likes taking pictures."
Hagiwara Kenji drove the car back to the convenience store as fast as possible and interrupted him halfway.
"Of course, these are all important memories, and of course they must be recorded." Kasugawa Shugo smiled as he shook the phone in his hand, "I want to fill all the albums I bought."
Perhaps he didn't even realize how his eyes sparkled when he said that. The silver-shelled phone swayed slightly beside his face, and there were too many silhouettes inside.
This kind of joy is really easy to convey, especially since this joy comes from the memories shared by the six of them. Matsuda Jinpei looked at his sparkling eyes and showed the same smile on his face.
Afterwards, perhaps out of awkwardness about directly expressing his joy, he forcibly prevented his face from showing an even more brilliant expression. He deliberately knitted his brows and complained half-seriously, "What kind of little girl are you?"
Seeing that the two were about to make a noise again, Morofushi Jingguang quickly leaned over to stop them, "Okay, okay, why don't we take a picture together?"
"I support--" Hagiwara Kenji stepped on the brakes and stopped steadily at the back door of the convenience store, "However, it won't be too late to take pictures after we get things done."
Several people got out of the car one after another and became serious. Just as Kasugawa Shugo was about to speak, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei hooked his neck on the left and right. He looked to the left in panic, only to see Hagiwara Kenji blinking at him twice.
...I must be crazy to agree to this method of intrusion.
Having said that, he and the other three people stumbled in, arm in arm, looking at the room full of armed robbers, the four of them grinned and shouted, "Hello everyone——"
"Hey, what is that, it can't be a gun?" Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile, but his hand tapped Kasugawa Shugo on the shoulder a few times.
We have to deal with the gangsters with guns first.
"What are you afraid of? It must be fake," said Jinpei Matsuda as he moved his right hand behind Kagemitsu Morobushi. The latter took a few steps forward and locked onto the gangster who had been the most panicked since the others broke in. His sunglasses blocked his upturned eyes. "Hey, what movie are you filming? Can we show our faces too?" "
I want to play a detective," Jinpei Matsuda stepped forward to block another gangster with a gun.
"Then I'll play the gangster," Kasugawa Shugo stepped forward and put his arm around the man's shoulder in a familiar manner, "Brother, I see so many of you are playing gangsters, it doesn't matter if I play one more?"
"No way, are they really filming a movie here?"
"It looks so fun!"
Several clear female voices rang out behind him. He knew without thinking that it was Hagiwara Kenji who called them. He turned around and said, "Hey, come in, everyone can make a cameo appearance!"
"Great!"
There was a round of cheers, and people got off the truck one after another. They were all classmates who had just been called in the dormitory. After entering, they quickly ran towards the gangsters and subdued them.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, zero!" After seeing that all the gangsters were under control, Morofushi Kagemitsu opened the door to the front hall.
"Kagemitsu!" Furutani Rei was surprised and happy, "What's wrong with you guys?"
"We saw the Morse code on the sign."
Kasugawa Shugo explained the whole story in a few words. He pointed to the classmates who were pinning the gangster to the ground behind him, and said in high spirits, "It depends on numbers."
"It's just what the class monitor's father did," Matsuda Jinpei walked over and looked at Date Kou who was still staring at the other side with a lot on his mind, "Right, Hagi?"
"Huh?"
Date Kou looked at the two of them when he heard that, unable to hide his surprise.
"Yeah, actually, when the squad leader's father was beaten by that jerk-like man, I was also in that convenience store."
"What? You were there too?!"
"Squad leader, you were distracted by your father covered in blood at the time, so you didn't notice it. Later, the man's accomplice also entered the convenience store."
It was surprisingly similar to the scene today. Kasugawa Shugo cast his eyes on the frozen Date Kou. Maybe the squad leader can understand the past incident today and untie the knot in his heart.
When will Jingguang be able to... ...He is not quite the same as the squad leader. Because of his reserved and reserved personality, he will not tell us the things buried in his heart. Zero should know, but it is different to ask Zero about this matter and Jingguang tell it himself.
To deal with a guy with this kind of personality, you still have to use force.
“…There was a child like me in the store at the time, as well as pregnant women, elderly people, and female students. There were really a lot of people. Later, the police came very quickly, probably because your father called the police. Then he wanted to prevent the man from entering the store before his colleagues arrived, so he blocked him at the door. So he didn’t kneel down to beg for mercy that time.”
“It was because of this, squad leader,” Hagiwara Kenji clenched his right fist and placed it on Date Kou’s chest, “it was the heart of a policeman who didn’t want anyone to get hurt, which prompted him to do that.”
Seeing the change in Date Kou's expression, Kasugawa Shugo knew that the matter had ended successfully. He relaxed and casually looked at the shelves, trying to find his favorite chocolate milk so that Matsuda Jinpei could cash in on the bet he made today.
Anyway, he would inevitably be scolded by Instructor Onitsuka when he returned, so he might as well have fun while he could.
He patrolled and finally found a dark mass of bags of milk in the second to last row. Strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, bananas... Where was the chocolate?
Kasugawa Shugo then looked back and suddenly turned his sight back. He saw a small reflection in the middle of the bags of strawberry milk and mango milk, as if...
Hey, hey, that's not possible.
"Squad leader - get down!!" he shouted, and the next second, a bullet shot out from between the two bags of milk and rushed straight towards Date Kou, who was still digesting the meaning of Hagiwara Kenji's words.
