Although Kuriyama Mai understood the boss's caution very well, at this moment he had a fierce attitude and said coldly in the boss's ear:
"How to get to the roof?"
The convenience store uncle waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes almost looked like pleading, and shook his head gently to signal the young man in front of him to leave.
"Come on! Don't cause any trouble."
Kuriyama Mai knew his uncle's good intentions, but the feeling of being monitored by someone really made him very unhappy. It was like the sound of keys rubbing against a blackboard was echoing in his heart...
And the uncle's current attitude also confirmed his guess. A cold light flashed in his Sanbai eyes, and he made a gesture of wiping his neck with his right hand:
"Don't talk nonsense, is it over there? Is there any other way to go?"
"..."
The boss was a little confused for a moment. The enthusiastic person who was helping him unload the goods in the early morning suddenly turned into a violent bully and insisted on hitting the muzzle of the Qingkou team.
Moreover, the members of the Qingkou group who came to the store today look completely different from the group of people who usually collect bills...
"Huh? Is there any other way to the top floor?"
Seeing that his boss didn't respond for a long time, Kuriyama Mai chewed his cigarette and looked at him sideways, looking like a gangster who was about to take action.
"No." The uncle shook his head tremblingly and pointed to a curtain with a Kabuki pattern printed on it.
"Thank you." Kuriyama Mai withdrew his fierce gaze, cupped his hands, and walked towards the stairs in one stride.
Looking at his back, the convenience store owner sighed deeply, "Why bother with them when you have nothing to do..."
He muttered some complaints, but as the next customer entered the store, he had to smile immediately and said, "Welcome~"
Taking advantage of the cover of his large coat, Kuriyama Mai quietly hid the Browning pistol with the safety switch turned on in his right trouser pocket.
If you encounter a situation, you can pull it out immediately.
And [Shooting A-] gave him the ability to shoot wherever he pointed with a pistol within twenty-five meters.
So even though there may be more than one opponent upstairs, he still has the capital to confidently deal with them.
When I walked into the stairs, the first thing I saw was a shoe cabinet over one meter high, with uncle's shoes scattered here and there.
Upon closer inspection, there are several pairs of small and cute shoes that seem to belong to girls, maybe the uncle's daughter.
The wooden stairs in front of me are extremely narrow, barely allowing one person to pass.
And because the sides have been closed with wooden boards, you can't observe the situation upstairs at all before climbing to the corner.
Kuriyama Mai became cautious. He held his breath and kept the sound of his footsteps to a minimum. He stayed close to the side of the wall and walked up cautiously.
If the Qingkou team was monitoring, it was very likely that someone was watching downstairs, which made him have to be very alert.
When he was about to reach the corner of the stairs, he clearly felt the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs.
Exposed? Or a coincidence?
Kuriyama Mai couldn't figure out the reason for the moment, but he didn't want to give up the initiative.
The voice sounded like it belonged to only one person, so he held his breath completely, bent his legs slightly, and lurked silently in the blind spot of his vision.
No matter which angle the man downstairs turned around, he could not be spotted immediately.
Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, he silently began to count down in his mind.
"3, 2..."
First grab this tongue and extract some information about the Qingkou Group from his mouth.
The moment the figure appeared, he immediately pounced on it reflexively.
[Fighting A-] Let him skillfully push the man to the ground and fix it with a cross lock, making him unable to move any joints.
"Tell me, why are you monitoring me?"
The man he was holding down was only panting in panic, and seemed to be shouting vaguely, "Dad... help!"
Only then did Kuriyama Mai realize that something was wrong. This man's body was several times smaller than he expected.
When he looked closely, his body immediately relaxed subconsciously, and he stood up and jumped back a big step.
Fortunately, the strong core strength brought by [Parkour A] allowed him to stabilize on the uneven corridors instantly, otherwise he would have been very likely to fall over.
The person who came was not a big man in a suit or a vicious gangster, but a little girl.
Even a cute little girl.
She was wearing a black sailor uniform and looked younger than Xiaonan. Maybe she had just entered junior high school.
The bow on the collar had been torn apart because of his roughness just now.
The top button also popped open, and a small section of the girl's fair and smooth collarbone was still exposed, half-covered by the pipa.
"Sorry...I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Kuriyama Mai apologized profusely.
Only then did he realize that if he were from the Qingkou group, it would be impossible for him to make such obvious footsteps.
If the convenience store uncle takes him seriously and takes him to Yoshida Yuka, he may be imprisoned for several days...
She may not be able to cure the Qingkou group for the time being, but it is more than enough to treat him now.
After all, the little guy in front of him looks like he may not be 14 years old yet. There is a question mark as to whether Mitsui Kanon will help him if something like this happens.
The little girl who had just been pushed to the ground finally slowly sat up, with two slightly red knees exposed under her skirt, which made people look particularly pitiful.
Her long hair was pinned back by a white headband, exposing her entire forehead, showing a unique youthful vigor.
A pair of quiet round-rimmed glasses floated over her bright eyes, and her slightly voluptuous cheeks made her even more cute.
She cried a little aggrievedly and whispered:
"Brother...it hurt just now..."
Kuriyama Mai only felt his scalp numb. He scratched his mottled yellow hair and apologized sincerely:
"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person. I'm really sorry."
Seeing that the girl lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly, Kuriyama Mai could only continue to care:
"Is it important? Does it still hurt? Can I carry you down?"
He was even vaguely worried that the commotion just now might be too big. If the people from the Qingkou group upstairs were provoked, things would become more complicated.
"It's okay." The girl sat on the ground for a while, then shook her head, straightened her skirt, and stood up with great effort.
"Big brother doesn't look like a deliberately bad person."
Don't you look like a bad guy? Kuriyama Mai lowered his head in a little shame. This was the highest praise Yamazaki Hayato had received for his appearance.
Only then did he notice that the girl was wearing a pair of black sneakers, paired with lace white socks, which made her slender ankles look particularly pure.
"Is it really okay?" he asked still worriedly.
The girl moved her body a little, and after a few simple stretching exercises, the breath of youth seemed to hit her face.
"It's okay, big brother, are you here?"
"I just wanted to see the top floor."
"On the top floor?" The girl suddenly took two steps back unnaturally and leaned against the wall of the stairwell. "There seems to be a scary person up there..."
Terrible person? Kuriyama Mai immediately clenched the pistol in his bag with his right hand, nodded to the girl, and ran upstairs with low footsteps.
When he passed the remaining two corners, he looked like a well-trained special operations team member. Even if he met the opponent head-on, he would definitely be the one to shoot first.
But in the end, I was scaring myself, and the other side of the stairs was always empty.
When he finally came to the door of the rooftop on the top floor, he felt a little nervous.
He carefully opened the door a little and looked carefully. Except for some flowers and plants, there was no figure at all.
illusion? No, if it was an illusion, the uncle would not have that attitude.
He always felt that something was strange, but he had no idea for the moment.
But just as he was about to open the door and walk in to take a look, he suddenly felt an eerie chill on his back.
In an instant, a chill surged through his body, and his entire vest was instantly wet with cold sweat.
The problem is there! How could R himself wear shoes at home!
"Brother, please take your handbag out, otherwise, it will really hurt this time~"
He had no choice but to slowly raise his hands and look behind him with his peripheral vision.
He didn't dare to bet. The distance was too close. If there was a gun behind him, it would take enough time to turn around and fire two shots.
Sure enough, it was the girl just now.
She held the muzzle of the gun against him with one hand, but the other hand holding the dagger had already reached into his clothes, and the sharp blade seemed to be scraping his hair.
But there was a smile on the girl's face. She raised her purple grape-like eyes, and her eyes intertwined with those of Kuriyama Mai.
"Brother, please be obedient."

On the other side, the uncle on the first floor saw a familiar figure outside the store, and a loving smile immediately appeared on his slightly tired face.
"Dad, I'm back."
