In the early morning, Kuroki received a call from Belmod in a daze. He was confused for a long time before he heard the sarcasm in Belmod's tone.
"...Sister, are you very free?" Kuroki Ren didn't sleep enough. He rubbed his eyes and leaned on the bedside, yawning sleepily: "If you were free, you should have come to the meeting last night..." He muttered behind him. Belmode didn't hear what he said clearly.
Her eyebrows were curved and she was in a good mood.
"What, it's not easy to stand on the opposite side of Gin."
It was equivalent to resisting the entire inspection department. How could Kuroki Ren's thin shoulders be able to carry it.
"It's okay, it's okay if the result is good." Kuroki Ren was still not quite awake. He shook his head and took out a bottle of iced Coke. He clamped the phone between his ear and shoulder and made a 'chi' sound. Opened the can.
The person on the other end of the phone obviously heard this voice. Belmod said something about getting up early and drinking ice cream, which was bad for your stomach. He didn't pay much attention to him, but just said softly: "Be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."
"I know." Kuroki Ren smiled, raised his head and took a sip. The dryness in his throat was relieved. "So, you didn't call me so early in the morning just because you were curious about whether I was assassinated by Gin."
"Gin doesn't even bother to attack you."
Although those words were said, Kuroki Jin always felt that he was despised. He touched his nose, swallowed his rebuttal, and listened to Belmode continue: "As for the hidden kitten, do you have any clues about tricking her into coming out?"
It is not an easy task to take people to an open area under FBI supervision so that they can assassinate them.
All said and done, Kuroki Jin is still worried about being embarrassed by Gin.
"You said it's a kitten, of course you can catch people by playing with the cat stick." Kuroki Ren sneered, and then returned to his gentle look. He was suddenly curious about one thing: "Speaking of Bell Maude, I remember you never had a cat?"
"how?"
Kuroki Ren laughed: "How come all your adjectives are kitten, and it's the same when you talk about Shirley."
Belmode was choked, seemed to cough slightly, and then smiled with unknown meaning: "Then Xiaoren, do you want to know the reason?"
Although he thought about it a little, Belmod's tone at the moment was too scary. Kuroki Ren opened his mouth but didn't dare to speak.
"...Why don't you speak?"
"No." Kuroki Ren avoided the topic, "I was thinking about giving you a cat as a New Year gift."
"Are you planning to give Shirley to me?"
"You're kidding, right?"
"..." Belmode held the phone in his hand and listened to the busy tone inside. His original smile couldn't be stretched slightly, and the corners of his mouth dropped slightly for a moment.
She couldn't help but think of the cat she picked up when she was 28 years old. The innocent girl once thought that it would be her lifelong beauty.
Unfortunately, we can never go back to the past.
"..., I hate you so much."
Kuroki Jin's funny cat stick has already hit the target. He went to the candy store to work normally these days, and not surprisingly, he ran into the daredevil Hondo Eiyu again and again.
After going back and forth, I quickly became familiar with the people in the store.
One day at lunch, Ruomu Wenren asked in an unintentional manner: "Brother Yingyou, has anyone said that you and Shui Wulian look alike?"
"Eh?"
"Speaking of which, it's really amazing, especially these eyes." Asai Narumi approached Hondou Eiyu as if she had discovered a new world, staring at his eyes that were not like a boy, "Thinking about it this way, it seems that Reina Mizuna has not appeared in the house for a long time. It’s on TV.”
Kuroki Ren noticed that Hondo Eyou's hand hidden under the table was slightly clenched.
"I quite like her." Yucheng Daimei from next door came over to eat. "I don't know what happened. There wasn't even an announcement."
"Perhaps it was due to tax evasion." Kuroki Jin said nonchalantly.
"No." Ruomu Wenren raised a finger and waved it slightly, smiling mysteriously.
The topic was quickly diverted, but it kept Eyou's attention. He met Ruomu Wenren several times at school and tried to talk about it, but to no avail. He didn't know when he would be unable to restrain his strong curiosity.
"Curiosity will kill the cat." Ruomu Wenren murmured while digging into the ice cream: "Brother Kuromu, do you want me to stimulate him more?"
Kuroki Jin wiped the cup, glanced at Asai Narumi outside who pretended not to hear, shook his head and said: "No, being too deliberate will alert others."
"Anyone else?"
"I'm not the only one staring at him. You should be more careful at school and don't let Miss Lan trick you."
"Ms. Ran...you mean Kudou Shinichi is also watching this matter?" Wakamu Atsushi had a suspicion in his mind, "Kuromu-san, if you don't tell me, I haven't realized it yet. I just talked to Hondo Eiyu these two times. In short, Miss Lan will come over by chance."
"Damn it." Ruomu Wenren said with a smile.
After closing the shop in the evening, Kuroki Jin stopped the tired Asai Narumi and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, I will talk about these things behind your back next time."
Unlike Wakaki Onito, Asai Narumi is not in the dark and should not know these things.
"It doesn't matter." His soft side face was reflected in the light, as if he had returned to the days of the gentle and pleasant Dr. Chengshi on Yueying Island. "If my existence makes you, boss, unable to even speak in your own place, then I will It’s uneasiness.”33
"What's more... the boss is a good person, isn't he?"
Kuroki Jin is a good person, so Asai Narumi believes that no matter what the reason is for abducting Hondo Eiyu, Kuroki Jin will not harm the life of an innocent student in the end.
This feeling of being trusted - Kuroki Jin smiled softly in the darkness.
Didan High School——
"Wen Renjun——" Hondou Yingyu, who was after school, was stuffing his schoolbag carelessly while calling out to Ruomu Wenren who was passing by the class door in a hurry.
Ruomu Wenren took two steps back and poked his head in: "What's the matter, Brother Yingyou?"
"Wait for me, I want to go to the candy house too." I said this.
Mao Lilan had karate club activities today, and Suzuki Sonoko was called back from home for something to do in the afternoon and didn't come to class at all. The main hall Yingyou, who has just transferred to another school, doesn't have that many friends, so he gets along more with Wakamu Onu these days.
This was what the classmates saw. It is unknown what the two people involved thought.
"But I have something to do before I go to the candy house..." Ruomu Wenren hesitated, "But it's not a big deal. Brother Yingyou, do you mind being delayed for a few minutes?"
"It's okay, it's okay—" Hondo Yingyu packed up his things and kept up with Wakamu Onto.
"Where are we going?"
"There are some stray cats in the alley behind the school. I have to feed them some food every few days..." Ruomu Wenren said slowly.
Some people died, but not completely...
