Although there were only a few lines of words, Kuriyama Mai stared at them for a long time...
This guy... Minister, did she originally mean this?
Kuriyama Mai felt her cheeks feel a little hot. At first, she thought she didn't understand and had to wait for him to prove it to her...
Fortunately now, she pointed out a core issue in one sentence.
I have to admit that in terms of theoretical knowledge, she knows better than me... I really underestimated her before.
It seems that there is still a need to participate in future club activities. At least in theory, he still has a lot to learn from.
Kuriyama Mai clarified his thoughts, knowing that he could not argue the sutra, so after much deliberation he could only reply with some specious words.
[Gei: A perfect system is hard to come by, but it would be nice if we could learn from it some fresh methods to solve real-life bugs]
[Chinatsu: Do you still choose to try a method that is destined to fail? 】
Why is she so pessimistic...
But looking back on her experiences in junior high school, it’s not difficult to understand.
Maybe we have to find some way to win her back. The girl who sees so clearly cannot be wasted, Kuriyama Mai thought to himself.
But what to do?
He sat up from the bedside. The spicy smell of Skylark cigarettes rushed straight into his lungs, and his brain became clear as if the cache had been cleared.
Direct argumentation has no results. This is a problem that has not been solved by someone else or even him. Kuriyama Mai has this self-knowledge, so he has to change his thinking.
[Gei: As long as it becomes better than before, even if it brings some bugs, it is still worth trying]
[Gei: Just like an exam, improving from 40 points to 60 points can be seen as a huge improvement, but it doesn’t have to be a perfect score]
[Gei: The problems I'm encountering now are a bit tricky, so I want to find some old books to open my mind, so I don't have to think too far ahead for the time being]
If you want to realize your dreams, you have to accept the reality that your dreams will be compromised.
It's better to do it than just think about it.
Rather than doing nothing, Kuriyama Mai would rather make a mistake.
Even though R had been reborn for less than a week, his impulsiveness had already caused him a lot of trouble, but it was still better than doing nothing and regretting it later.
Thinking of this, a nearly forgotten memory from his past life suddenly came to his mind.
Kuriyama Mai pressed the cigarette butt hard on the ashtray beside the bed and sighed with a half-smile.
When I met her for the first time, no wonder I felt unhappy, wanted to tease her, wanted to brainwash her...
It turns out it's not because of her, but because I hate myself who didn't do anything in the past?
Kasuga Chinatsu looked at the message that popped up in front of her eyes, and her eyes, which were already a little tired, suddenly became brighter.
Although this person's ID was strange and didn't sound like R or English, she felt a huge shock in her heart from these few lines of words.
"As long as it's better than before?"
"You don't have to get perfect marks on the exam?"
She repeated this sentence over and over again in her heart, but she still didn't understand it.
Why can you be so confident?
If she knew that something could only achieve 60 points in the end, she would rather do nothing...
And whatever she is determined to do, she will do her best to make it perfect.
In other words, she is extremely disgusted with things that work hard but may not necessarily lead to results.
If the final outcome is only a little better than before, is there any point in paying such a high price?
Even though her heart was rolling like a roller coaster, facing this unknown Mr. San Gei, she didn't want to argue with him on these aspects.
It's hard to be convinced by others, and she doesn't want to waste time with such strangers.
Thinking of this, her eyes subconsciously moved from the phone to "Steel" lying quietly on the desk.
Even for that guy...
I just hope he can figure it out on his own.
So Kasuga Chinatsu's reply seemed very restrained.
[Chinatsu: Are you sure you need all the books? 】
Seeing her noncommittal reply, Kuriyama Mai understood it and pretended that she had just said nothing.
But after confirming the deal step by step, he tried again carefully.
[Gei: Is it convenient to add a Line? If I encounter any confusion when reading the book in the future, I would like to discuss it with you]
【Chinatsu: Okay】
[Chinatsu: If I have any questions, please feel free to enlighten me]
Kasuga Chinatsu answered simply.
Although she didn't agree with some of this man's concepts, he was generally honest and his purpose in reading books was very pure. He was not a boastful person. He might have some observational value in the future.
Although the trace of fantasy she had left was wiped out like this, but for such a person, at least she was able to make the best use of everything.
————
Kasuga Chinatsu's attitude on the line seemed very cold.
As soon as Kuriyama Mai's greetings were sent, Kasuga Chinatsu politely informed her that she was going to bed, ending the conversation politely but distantly.
Kuriyama Mai, who turned off his cell phone, couldn't help but ask himself, if he immediately changed the size to chat with her, would the result still be the same?
After much thought, he finally resisted the idea of changing his cell phone to chat and chose to sleep silently with his eyes closed.
It wouldn't be fun if she got suspicious. After all, Hayato Yamazaki didn't want to expose his vest.
————
It was three o'clock in the morning, and the hour hand pointed directly at noon, when Kuriyama Mai slowly woke up from bed.
He walked out of the room and heard the gentle snores still coming from Igarashi's room. He had to sigh in his heart, this guy really likes to sleep.
After washing briefly and having lunch, he began to go downstairs to sort out some of the luggage that had been brought over. To his surprise, Chinatsu Kasuga's book had also been delivered.
Among the other luggage, the one that interested him the most was the Insta360.
The sandwich teaching video recorded a few days ago was still there, and he couldn't help but smile in surprise when he saw it.
The video was obviously taken a few days ago, but somehow it feels like it happened a long, long time ago...
He edited the video as if he had found a treasure and posted it on TikTok using Mr. MilK’s account.
As a newly popular blogger, he has stopped updating for a few days. I wonder if this new update can retain his old fans.
If the effect is good, this tool for earning excitement points must be put to good use.
After the video was released, he wrote two reminder notes for Jie Deng and stuck them on the refrigerator, and then went out to investigate.
In the afternoon, Yanagihara Town was noisy as usual.
Although the passenger flow is not at its peak, tourists who come here often choose this relatively calm time to hang out.
However, after a little observation, there was something very strange to him.
All the gang members who hung around were nowhere to be seen.
Whether it's luxury stores, restaurants, or even custom shops that have opened for business, you can't see them.
After asking several bosses, I didn't know the reason. I just speculated that Igarashi Mikaze might be making some big move.
Kuriyama Mai couldn't find any ideas for a while, and he found nothing when asking Takayama Ken on his mobile phone.
Seeing that it was getting late, he walked back. Before he reached the convenience store, he saw Yoshida Yuka half-leaning in front of her Toyota Yaris, waving to him excitedly.
Compared with her tall figure, the first thing that attracted Kuriyama Mai's attention was her car.
Her two white Toyota Yaris, if you look closely, are two-seat sports cars equipped with a 1.6t engine and a 6MT gearbox.
The wheels and brakes have been modified to be sporty. Through the car window, you can see a detachable steering wheel hanging on the driving position, and the seats have been modified into racing bucket seats.
"Your car is pretty good~ It must have good control."
Kuriyama Mai didn't even look at her, he touched the hood and praised her.
A pure manual transmission JDM, although the speed is average, it is great to drive.
Especially when cornering or overtaking, when you downshift to replenish the gas, the gear lever in your hand feels as smooth as a woman's thigh.
"It's okay, but I rarely have the chance to drive it recently. I misunderstood you the day before yesterday. I'm sorry."
Yoshida Yuka expressed her sincere apology to him.
"Nothing." Kuriyama Mai then moved his eyes to her, "I promised you that the motorcycle will arrive in a few days."
After changing out of her police uniform, she has short hair, a white shirt and silk black trousers, which makes her look like a smart urban beauty.
The only flaw is that, perhaps because she has become accustomed to bare makeup, her makeup may be a bit unfamiliar, the mascara is a bit thick, and the eyeshadow color is a bit abrupt.
But overall she is still a beauty, but the makeup hides her cuteness without makeup.
"I didn't expect you to be fascinated by cars. I thought you cared about motorcycles~"
Seeing that Yamazaki Hayato's attention seemed to be mostly on his car, Yoshida Yuka smiled knowingly with an expression as if he had discovered someone of the same kind.
"If I hadn't heard from you that you rarely open it, I would really want to try it."
A surprised smile appeared on the corner of Yuxiang Yoshida's mouth, and he said jokingly:
"Are you familiar with cars using a simulator? Yamazaki, you are really a genius."
But then she got into the cab as if she was declaring her sovereignty, "As you might imagine, I won't give up the driving opportunity I got from my hard-earned vacation today to you~"
"No problem, the barbecue you bought for today is enough." Kuriyama Mai said and sat in. The passenger seat was much more comfortable than he imagined.
The riding experience is much better than that of Mitsui Kanon's Lafa.
"Hehe, let's go then."
Yuka Yoshida enjoyed the feeling of assembling the steering wheel to the steering column, but just as she was about to start the car, her cell phone rang inappropriately.
Her face darkened slightly, but she finally chose to answer the phone.
Kuriyama Mai could only vaguely hear what was said on the phone, that a body was found somewhere, and that the person who reported the crime was emotionally unstable.
Yuka Yoshida's expression became more and more serious. When she hung up the phone, she seemed to be venting her dissatisfaction and slammed the phone into the central console storage table.
After she took a long breath to adjust her emotions, she looked apologetically, clasped her hands and looked at Yamazaki Hayato:
"I'm very sorry...I'm really sorry..."
Kuriyama Mai understood the difficulties of her profession and said only half-jokingly:
"Take me to see the scene and I will forgive you~"
"No!" Yoshida Yuka's rejection was more straightforward than he expected, but it seemed that she felt it was too blunt, so she immediately explained in a panic:
"This is not a detective animation for elementary school students... Unrelated persons are not allowed to approach the crime scene."
Kuriyama Mai smiled knowingly, waved, then opened the car door and prepared to walk towards home.
"I'm really sorry, I won't do it next time..."
Even without looking back, Kuriyama Mai could hear the deep apology in her tone.
"It's okay. Next time, just leave it to me to drive."
"Definitely!" Yoshida Yuxiang nodded solemnly, then turned the car around and drove in the direction of the incident.
When Kuriyama Mugi returned to the house, he saw that Igarashi Yuto had not yet gotten up, so he randomly selected a book from Kasuga Chinatsu and started reading.
————
Just as Kuriyama Mai closed the book and was about to go to the casino, Yoshida Yuka's phone rang.
"Are you free to cooperate with the investigation now? After investigation, it was found that the deceased had close contact with you 48 hours before his death."
"Huh? Who is it?"
Sure enough, do you still want to play a guest role as a detective?
"Toyama Yuko." Yuka Yoshida said in a heavy tone, "Can you come over now?"
What? Kuriyama Mai couldn't believe it in her heart. The prostitute who was tempting him the day before yesterday died just because she said she was going to die.
Moreover, Yuko's status in the casino does not seem to be low...
But he didn't ask too much on the phone. After simply agreeing, he immediately walked towards the police station.
