"Police sister, I have no friends..."
As if the word "partner" stung her heart, the little girl's face instantly darkened, but she did not hide it and still truthfully stated the fact.
"Ah, this, this is it..."
Slightly embarrassed, Okino Mina quickly made amends for her.
"Well, I just heard from Girl Jing that you just came to Tokyo not long ago. After all, Girl Jing, you are so cute. It's normal that you haven't made friends in a short period of time. I believe..."
"It didn't happen before..."
Before Okino Mina finished speaking, the little girl added another sentence quietly.
Not only did she have no friends in Japan, she also had no friends in the country where she lived before.
"Well……"
The unfinished words in her mouth were completely blocked. Okino Mina's expression was stiff and she was already sweating.
【Damn it! Why did I bring up this topic just now! 】
By the way, this little girl is so cute and smart, she is a perfect "ready-to-charge" template! How come you don’t even have a friend?
"Is there any reason?" Okino Mina asked warmly after quickly adjusting her condition.
There's definitely something wrong, there's definitely something wrong here.
Considering the child's future physical and mental health, Okino Mina decided to try to solve it.
The little girl didn't answer her immediately. She first looked up at Okino Mina, as if to judge whether she was really trustworthy.
Just like Okino Mina's previous speculation, this little girl's psychological defense is extremely high, far beyond what a child of her age should have.
If it were a normal first-grade girl, with Okino Mina coaxing her like this, she would have even told her what the style of her parents' pajamas is.
"They...are all afraid of me."
After thinking for a long time, the little girl once again chose to trust Okino Mina and said in a low voice:
"Grandpa doesn't like me talking to people outside... Every time I go to and from school, some fierce-looking bodyguards will pick me up... My classmates at school say my home is dangerous, so they all hide. Follow me..."
【……Eh? 】
The little girl's words surprised Okino Mina.
She had always thought that this girl should be a child of an elite family, but judging from this girl's words, it seemed that this was not the case?
There are actually bodyguards who specialize in transportation... This girl's life experience is not simple, and she came back from abroad...
Yabai, could he be a child of a big political family in Japanese politics?
Subconsciously, Okino Mina turned her head and looked around.
[Wait a minute, aren’t there a bunch of people watching me hidden around me now? 】
White teeth!
It's a bit dangerous, she's about to suffer from an occupational disease (phantom thief).
"Sister Police, you don't have to worry."
As if aware of Okino Mina's thoughts at this moment, the little girl suddenly said:
"Those people are very rigid. They don't think that I will run out during lunch break, so they won't show up except when going to and from school."
"This, this is it..."
"Um."
The little girl nodded, a sad look flashing across her face.
"Sorry for causing trouble to the police sister, it's almost time this time, I should go back..."
After saying this, she suddenly jumped down from the flower bed and was about to leave, but as soon as she took two steps, she stopped again and whispered something to Okino Mina with her back turned.
"See you next time, my enthusiastic police sister."
At this moment, Okino Mina suddenly had a premonition in her heart.
This little girl may not appear here again in the future.
She deliberately used the word "enthusiastic", which is enough to show that this smart little girl has realized to some extent that Okino Mina was deliberately waiting for her to show up today to chat with her.
This lonely little girl may have wanted to be friends with Okino Mina. However, Okino Mina's nervousness the moment she heard about the situation at her home made the little girl flinch.
Perhaps many similar things happened to this little girl in the past.
People who want to be friends end up fearing her and deliberately alienating her because of the situation at home.
The repeated occurrence of this kind of thing is undoubtedly a kind of psychological trauma for this little girl who also longs to make friends.
Therefore, she learned to escape. After noticing that Okino Mina had a similar reaction, she did not want to see the little girl who was alienated again, so she had no choice but to escape first.
Since you are likely to meet Okino Mina when you come here, then you should not come here again...
[She is really smart, but at the same time incredibly sensitive... This girl must have an elder in her family who is not only strong, but also very controlling. 】
"Hmph! Little girl, judging others without permission is a bad behavior, isn't it?"
Thinking of this, Okino Mina immediately stood up, took two steps forward, caught up with the little girl, and walked beside her.
"You don't think this little thing can scare me, do you? Your sister and I used to be very powerful~"
Smiling and touching the little girl's head, Okino Mina raised her head and said slightly proudly.
Hearing her words, the little girl immediately cast an undisguised questioning look. A simple translation is - Sister, aren't you just a super bad detective who goes off work at noon every day?
By the way, why are you showing off like this? The Metropolitan Police hasn’t fired you yet?
The little girl has really wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"Hmph, you little girl may not believe it when I tell you. Don't look at me now being 'collected' by the Metropolitan Police. Your sister's experience in the past is also very legendary. If the opportunity is right in the future, I will tell you about it slowly. .
Of course, even if you put aside these things, my background in the Metropolitan Police Department is quite tough. No matter what troubles I have, my background can handle it. I was nervous just now, but it was just an occupational disease from the past.
Rather than worrying about me, I am more worried about my sister, whether you, Jing Ya, will alienate me after knowing this..."
Speaking, Okino Mina raised her eyebrows and looked at the little girl.
Okino Mina thought that her operation was pretty good. Next, the little girl only needed to say shyly, "No, I will alienate you, sister.", and then she used it to tease her twice. In this sentence, everything will be happy, and she will also be able to "friend you forever" plus one...
But no.
The little girl just lowered her head and said something in a low voice without being frank.
"Stupid police sister."
What a kid who is good at ruining the atmosphere...
"Damn girl, be careful if I beat you up?"
"No, police sister, you clearly are not the kind of person who knows how to fight."
"Huh...can you even see this?"
After laughing and teasing a few words, Okino Mina, who felt that she had basically opened up the little girl's defenses, finally brought the topic to the point she had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Girl Jing, what do you want to do when you come to the Metropolitan Police Department?"
