Atobe Keigo and Akashi Seijuro watched Tsushima Shuji disappear into the apartment building before getting into their respective cars and leaving.
Tsujima Shuji silently got on the elevator and came to the apartment.
By the way, this apartment building has only one unit on one floor.
Shuji Tsushima lives on the top floor, and even the rooftop has been converted into a private area.
A place for parking helicopters and... afternoon tea.
Although the number of uses is only a handful.
But that person really likes afternoon tea.
It is an out-and-out antique hobby.
Shuji Tsushima opened the door to the apartment, but there was no one in the room.
but……
A figure rushed over quickly.
Shuji Tsushima made a decisive decision and closed the door of the apartment with his backhand. He instantly jumped up from the wheelchair and avoided the flying figure.
Even the hanging arms were freed.
The terrifying figure squatting on the sofa and throwing himself on the wheelchair looked at each other.
"Who released you?" he asked with a smile.
"Ouch——"
Golden.
Haro Amuro replied innocently.
He changed direction again and rushed towards the figure on the sofa.
"Stop—"
"silly dog--"
"Stop it—"
"Don't come over—"
Shuji Tsushima hung in the air holding the chandelier, looking numbly at the Shiba Inu below who raised his head, stuck out his tongue and waggled his tail crazily.
"Ah..." He breathed out silently.
It's like spitting out the soul.
I decided, just hang it on the lamp and scare Bourbon and the others when they come back!
So when Toru Amuro came back, he saw a dark room, and he subconsciously turned on the light.
The next moment, a figure rushed towards him.
Amuro Toru tried to dodge out of reflex, but...
But he was still forced to the ground.
"Cough cough cough -" He lay on the ground, coughing with a look of despair on his face.
"Get up -!!" One hand hammered the floor frantically and roared.
Tsushima Shuji sat cross-legged on his back, holding his face in his hands, closing his eyes and saying, "Don't—"
"That stupid dog was released intentionally by you, Bourbon."
"I was so frightened that I hung on the lamp for a long time."
"Bourbon is really too much." He said, jumped off Bourbon's back, stepped on his back before he got up, turned around and ran away.
Bourbon finally raised his upper body to get up, but was suddenly stepped back down.
Feeling the cold floor temperature.
Bourbon:…
"Woof——" Haro Amuro squatted in front of him and shouted.
"Are you mocking me?" He picked up Harrow and rubbed the dog's head frantically.
Trying to vent his anger by mistaking the dog's head for Kaa's head.
"Do you know who ruined your dog food-"
"It's that guy -" Amuro Toru said heartbrokenly, looking like Amuro Haro couldn't recognize people clearly.
He didn't know why Harrow didn't like to eat dog food at first, until he carefully observed it and found that the bag of dog food was faintly green and... smelled like celery.
Then I think of the celery that suddenly disappeared from the kitchen that day.
Bourbon: Kaa must have done something right.
only……
He has one more unsolved mystery, such as...
How did Kaa know that Haro hated celery?
While he was sitting on the ground looking at each other and thinking, Scotland also came back.
There was also a black-wrapped letter in his hand.
"Why are you sitting on the ground?" Scotland looked at Bourbon sitting on the ground and was confused.
"...The ground...is cooler." Bourbon put Harrow down silently and stood up.
"Oh." Scotland looked like he believed it.
"Where's Kaa?" he asked.
"I just returned to the room, what happened?" Bourbon asked curiously.
"I received a letter addressed to him." Scotland shook the black letter in his hand and said.
He walked to the door of Tsushima Shuji's room, knocked on the door and said, "Kaa, I have your letter."
"This guy... is really..." Bourbon's eyes were unclear.
Neither he nor Jingguang will receive letters or express delivery, only Kao.
Almost every once in a while, I will receive letters or gifts from different people.
Bourbon: Sure enough, it’s because too many people have been deceived by Kaa!
"Letter? Who sent it?" The black-haired boy seemed to have finished washing and changed into pajamas and was ready to go to bed.
"Hmm... signed by Forgotten Man." Scotland said, looking at the column with the sender's name.
The young man lowered his eyes with an incomprehensible expression.
"...The forgotten person?" He lowered his head and chuckled.
With a little sarcasm.
"Who is the forgotten person?" He reached out and took the letter. Without saying anything more, he opened the envelope directly in front of Scotland and Bourbon.
[I have prepared a gift for you. It is at the Spider Mansion in Puppet Ridge. If you want it, just go and get it yourself.
And... long time no see. ——A person who should have died]
The black-haired boy tightened his grip on the letter, his expression gloomy.
"Who cares about your gift?" He balled up the letter, but did not throw it away. Instead, he held it tightly in his palm.
He lowered his eyes as if thinking about something else.
"Forget it, I'd better go take a look at the so-called gift." He thought for a while.
Shuji Tsushima:! Look at how complicated my performance is! Full marks, you must give me full marks!
"Kaa...?" Bourbon called softly in a tentative voice.
This is...a letter from who?
He only had to lower his head to read the contents of the letter.
but……
The letter said that he had prepared a gift for Kaa, but Kaa didn't look happy at all.
and……
The last sentence, "Long time no see", was signed by a person who should have died.
what does it mean?
He and Scotland looked at each other solemnly.
"It's just an ordinary letter." The young man smiled and seemed unconcerned.
"Tomorrow we will set off to the Spider Mansion in Puppet Ridge." He informed calmly.
"I'm also curious about what gift he will give me." The voice was low.
Then he closed the door.
There are secrets.
Bourbon and Scotland looked at each other with this sentence written in their eyes.
Scotland shook his head.
Signaling Bourbon not to be too curious.
"The way he seemed to react..."
"Not a happy secret."
"Don't do this to him," Scots said earnestly.
"Yes Yes--"
"I'm not a bad person who only pokes holes in people's pain." Bourbon raised his hand and said helplessly.
"Kaa is easier to get along with when he smiles." Scotland said.
"Ah, that's right." Bourbon's tone suddenly became deeper.
He does...
He didn't really want to get along with Kaa, who asked him with despair in his eyes whether life was really meaningful.
That kind of Kaa...
The despair seems to be contagious to those around him.
Drag people into the abyss.
The willful and childish Kaa is more interesting.
…
