"Um?"
Hearing his serious voice, Haneda Qingxia turned her little head and asked a question in a nasal voice with a crying tone.
"I have a stomachache and need to go to the bathroom first. I have already paid online..."
"oh..."
The little quail saw the painful look on his face as he held his stomach, and instantly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then nervously opened the bathroom door for him in advance.
At the same time, she helped him turn on the exhaust fan and the small yellow light, then walked out of the bathroom and looked up at him with a naive expression.
A picture of a "black question mark face" suddenly appeared in Nakano Mayu's mind.
Why do you feel like there are some subtle changes in the little quail?
Why are you looking at me like this?
What does her watery eyes mean?
"Haneda-san? Can you hear me? Moses Moses?"
But the energetic voice of Hachiyanagi-chan that kept coming from outside the door made him very clear that now was not the time to study these things.
As long as the little quail can stop crying for the time being and treat Riho-chan well, it will be fine to change the locks!
"Hurry up and open the door. By the way, senior sister, I don't like anyone to disturb me when I go to the bathroom..."
"Well, I...I remember..."
Senior Sister Quail nodded and quickly walked towards the entrance in small steps.
Upon seeing this, Nakano Mayu hid directly inside. At the same time, he put his ear behind the door panel and listened quietly to the movement outside the door.
I only heard the sound of Quail-senpai gently opening the door, followed by Hachiyanagi Riho's greeting:
"Hello, I am Riho Hachiyanagi, a staff member of TA Express. Are you Haneda...-san?"
"It's...it's me..."
What made him relieved was that although the two were classmates in the same school, they obviously didn't know each other.
If Riho-chan's connections even include the third-year Quail-senpai, he might be in trouble today.
Because if the two have known each other before, the relationship will definitely be a little closer.
For someone with perfect communication skills like Riho-chan, she might casually ask something like, "Why is this door so weirdly broken?" and then start a casual conversation.
The more conversations the two have, the higher the chance that their name will be mentioned by Quail Senior.
But if the two of them didn't know each other before, they would be a lot stranger at this time. Basically, Riho-chan would leave after finishing her business.
"Are you a woman who lives alone? Does my male colleague need to wait at the door?" Riho Hachiyanagi's voice sounded outside. Although her tone was gentle, the question she asked made Nakano Mayu's heart beat slightly faster.
"Hello Haneda-san!" At the same time, a strange middle-aged man's voice sounded. It seemed that he should be Riho-chan's colleague.
"No...it doesn't matter..."
Quail-senpai is still as considerate as ever.
Nakano Mayu could only restlessly eavesdrop on what was going on outside in the bathroom.
Outside the bathroom, Riho Yayanagi had already put on plastic shoe covers at the entrance and walked in gracefully.
But when passing by the entrance, she saw two pairs of familiar Amano high-style leather boots. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked Haneda Kiyonatsu with a smile:
"Is Haneda-san also a student of Amano High School?"
"Eh?" Haneda Kiyonatsu raised his slightly red and swollen eyes and said with a dull expression: "Is... Hachiyanagi-san is also Amano Taka?"
"Yes, I'm a second-year student. Where is Haneda-san?" Riho Hachiyanagi used her extraordinary social skills to start a conversation very naturally.
"Third...third grade..."
Nakano Mayu quietly listened to the conversation between the two in the bathroom.
Quail-senpai doesn't seem to be very good at dealing with Hachiyanagi-chan's somewhat familiar character, and her replies and dialogues are a bit forced.
According to Hachiyanagi-chan's emotional intelligence, she should be able to detect this immediately and minimize the conversation.
After all, this woman is a social genius who is familiar with most of the students in the school. She can have a good relationship with anyone if she wants to.
"No wonder I don't seem to have any impression of Haneda-san. Turns out she is a senior..."
At this time, Hachiyanagi Riho seemed to have walked to the broken door lock and began to concentrate on repairing the door lock.
At the same time, he sighed subconsciously: "Senior, the way you broke the lock is so exaggerated. Was it cut by a high-pressure water jet?"
"This... looks like a kitchen knife..." the little quail replied weakly.
"Chop knife?!" Riho Hachiyanagi's shocked voice was clearly heard by Nakano Mayu even through the door panel.
You can even imagine her cute little mouth opening round after being frightened.
"Well..." Little Quail's tone was still weak, and the contrast between the two was very sharp.
"How could a kitchen knife cause such a mark?"
Outside the door, Riho Hachiyanagi looked at the door lock in front of her, which was like a hob cutting butter, flat and smooth for a long time, and a trace of doubt flashed on her face.
"I...I don't know..." Haneda Qingxia still answered all questions without any impatience in the face of doubts.
But Riho Hachiyanagi felt something was not right.
Although the face of the senior student in front of her looked calm, her red and swollen eye sockets and the water stains on her long eyelashes that were still wet could tell that she had been crying for a long time just now.
Even before he arrived, he was still crying.
Moreover, there are traces of violence in the house where a kitchen knife was used to cut the door lock.
Although she didn't really believe that a kitchen knife could cut such a gap in the iron door lock, even if it was really a kitchen knife, it would still be very dangerous.
Moreover, judging from the color and layout, the door lock that was damaged should be the senior's room in front of her.
She was changing the door lock with her hands, making a relaxed look on her face, but she was thinking about the situation.
Could it be that?
This seemingly weak senior student suffered extremely serious domestic violence?
Maybe the skin under the clothes is covered with all kinds of traces of violence!
The more Hachiyanagi Riho thought about it, the more certain she became.
Moreover, she can tell from these simple conversations that this senior's temperament is that of a weak and inferior character.
To put it bluntly, he has a resigned character.
If a girl with this kind of personality is subjected to domestic violence, most likely she will endure it silently!
Although Riho Hachiyanagi, who is also a woman, is not someone who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, her somewhat poor family background makes her incapable of meddling too much.
But now that she has met him, she doesn't mind reaching out to help a classmate in need.
She first changed the door lock three times, then pretended to check the door lock, while silently observing the situation in the room.
There is a school bag in the room, but there is another school bag in the living room.
In other words, there should be a student in this house currently.
But why didn't it show up?
Could the student who didn't show up be the one who used violence against Haneda-senpai?
Or is it a simple quarrel between a couple or a quarrel between relatives?
But even if a couple or relatives are quarreling, breaking the door lock is a bit too much, right?
"Senior, have you encountered any violence?"
When Hachiyanagi Riho thought of this, she suddenly lowered her voice and asked Haneda Kiyonatsu with a concerned tone.
