Late night eatery in Yokohama

-Grilled dried horse mackerel ([-])-

In the afternoon, Hal said that he would take Cage Island Green and Nakahara Chuya to the nearby Qiping Town to do some errands.During this period, Osamu Dazai looked at Nakahara Nakaya who was named, his eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Before going out, the blond man summoned the girl to him again, dragged her into the bedroom, and groomed her meticulously.

"This is...?" Obediently took the new suit handed by Hal, Cage Island's green eyes were full of confusion:

"...don't wear the red cloak?"

She looked at the crimson pleated high-waisted skirt, the lace sleeved shirt and the pure black sleeved jacket embroidered with a white deer pattern, all completely handmade, and exclaimed in a low voice.

For a long time, Hal seems to be particularly partial to red, black and white, and the small dresses prepared for her are always in these colors. Besides, Hal himself prefers to pick out all kinds of luxurious and elegant clothes with Gold pink accents.However, it is undeniable that this new outfit is full of romantic and classic style, which made Cage Island Green curiously touch the ruffles of Xiao Ji's sleeves and the pure white soft fur collar of Rex Rabbit.

Oh, it's really comfortable...

Inhaling the gorgeous texture of the dress like a small animal, she thought a little tearfully.

"...This is a new gift I specially prepared for Lu, do you like it?"

Sensing the surprise in Cage Island's green eyes, Hal's blue eyes flickered with gentle light.

When speaking of the words "new gift", the man deliberately lowered his clear voice to a very low level, but he couldn't hide the faint smile that overflowed from it.

...that's all she needs to know.

Looking at Cage Island Green who obediently picked up her clothes and went to the dressing room, Hal lowered his eyes and thought of the wasteland witch who has become more and more arrogant during this period, that woman is not ordinary ambitious, if she finds out...

Thinking of the blond man's eyes flashed a touch of gloom.The girl's intuition is sometimes too accurate, for this, he has to be fully prepared.

On the other hand, it was Luanbu and the leader's turn to graze the sheep in the field in the afternoon.But what is rare is that Mr. Detective didn't pout and make a noise because the little boss didn't follow him. Instead, he walked up to Nakahara Nakaya, adjusted his glasses, and calmly opened his eyes:

"Mr. Hat, I have a bad feeling. You... remember to observe carefully when you enter the town. If there is something wrong, take Xiaolong Island to evacuate immediately, you know?"

He stared straight at Chuya Zhongyuan, the green eyes under the frame of the mirror were as aggressive as cold light.

After hearing this, the young man with orange hair seemed to realize that there was something in Edogawa Ranpo's words, so he simply asked, "...What is a bad feeling? You mean there will be enemies ambushing this trip?"

After finishing speaking, Nakahara Chuya's blue eyes narrowed slightly, obviously there was no murderous intent in them, but for no reason, it made people feel a cold and suffocating feeling as if they were falling into an abyss.

"It's not..." Luanbu pondered for a moment, then said seriously: "Anyway, as a bodyguard, you have to keep an eye on her."

It is self-evident who this "she" is.

Tsk, he knows without you telling me!Who else is the bodyguard? !Nakahara, who became a bodyguard inexplicably, also showed an expression of wanting to hit someone, and then he didn't remember to ask Hal until he was halfway out of the house:

"Hey, is there anything worth paying attention to after entering the town?"

Glancing at the thick smoke billowing behind him, the steam train galloping on the rails "Boom Boom Boom" and the military fighter planes flying overhead from time to time, Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned.

this era...

"Hm... let me think about it, I would recommend you to take the greens and try the signature fish and chips at the corner of the square with croissants dipped in honey jam? If you don't like croissants, you can replace them with butter fried Egg or dried fruit crispy chocolate sandwich ice cream, she likes it very much. Remember to order a cup of warm black tea or grapefruit water at the end."

Hal lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhongya Nakahara, the fine golden hair blocked the flash of light in his eyes, and the drop-shaped emerald green earrings shook with his head tilting, shining light .

"..." So, why is it all about eating?This man——!

Zhongyuan Zhong also choked. After a long time, he let out a deep breath and changed the subject: "...is there an event in town?"

"You mean today? Indeed, May Day."

"Ah, no wonder..."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the residents of the town hold some activities, such as setting off fireworks. Remember, croissants and black tea. If you can't, you can replace it with butter scrambled eggs, dried fruit crispy chocolate sandwich ice cream, and grapefruit water. ^v ^"

"...I remember it already!!"

Then, after the three of them entered the town, they were dispersed by the wave of people who enthusiastically waved and shouted at the reviewing soldiers, and the three-flowered cat in their arms was also missing.

Regarding this, Cage Island Green slowly raised a question mark, and Zhongyuan Zhong also...

Did he do it on purpose? ! ! !

right! !

Although Zhong Yuanzhong was very sure that this was the man Hal's actions to avoid the two of them, but when he glimpsed the unstoppable worry in the eyes of the people around him from the corner of his eyes, in order to avoid unnecessary situations, he couldn't help but Raising the volume suggests:

"Cage Island, how about I take you to an ice cream shop first?"

"...Oh."

What kind of non-salty reaction is this? ? ? ?Zhong Yuanzhong also said that it was too difficult for him.

However, the process of getting to the market square is not easy.Along the way, Zhongyuan Zhong used dangerous eyes to push back the men who came forward to strike up a conversation, but there were still some soldiers who didn't know how to wink and tried to touch Longdao Lu's head, but they were not only in a bad mood Nakahara Nakata stomped on his face and beat him hard, and was stepped on and kicked in the knee by Ryoshima Midori who was also in a bad mood.

...Holding his legs and screaming.

"Well, Mr. Nakaya, why don't you come to have a bite too? I feel that the dry fruit crispy chocolate sandwich ice cream in this store is not bad!" After 3 minutes, Kagoshima Green, who was sitting outside the ice cream shop, saw the orange-haired young man who was obviously distracted , asked with concern.

"..." Zhongyuan Zhongye, who came back to his senses, silently glanced at the spoon the little girl had used, and then politely rejected her.

It feels... After eating the ice cream, her mood improved a lot.The young man with orange hair thought to himself.

However, before Zhongyuan Zhongye was completely relieved, there was a sudden grunt of wheels crushing the ground and the sound of horseshoes from across the street.

The two followed the prestige, and saw two fat and strong horses with round backs and small silver manes walking proudly in small square steps, pulling a gilded carriage and stopping under the plane tree. The golden bell made a crisp jingle, and then the owner of the car came down from inside.

This is a pompous and extremely conceited lady who seems to give people the first impression, even though her appearance is enough to bear the word "coquettish and charming".

Although his figure was slightly bloated, the other party was still wearing a very tight, wrinkled dark black leather jacket and hip-wrapping skirt.The long skirt is studded with translucent diamonds, including pink, blue, green and even magnificent gold.The fluffy sable fur shawl hung on the shoulders almost fell to the waist, looking fashionable and dignified.

Under a plump and flowing wide-brimmed hat with huge ostrich feathers is beautiful chestnut hair, which seems to modify her facial features to make her more youthful and beautiful.

At this time, this extravagantly dressed femme fatale was smoking white smoke coquettishly through a long cigarette holder, and on her green index finger sticking out from under the soft mink fur shawl, she was wearing a cerulean inlaid with bright emeralds. expensive ring.A few well-manicured manicures were dyed an alluring crimson red, and valuable crystal diamonds were arranged in the shape of water droplets to decorate the gorgeous nail surface.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the woman's skin is a little too pale, and her face is full of contempt...

After getting off the carriage, the woman silently looked at the bustling market. When she saw the colorful flags and soldiers in neat uniforms in the streets and alleys, her eyes showed horror like looking at the dead. .

And Zhongyuan Zhong across the street tensed up his nerves and muscles almost the moment the woman got out of the car.

He was keenly aware that this woman was dangerous, and even the smell from her body gave him a very familiar and special feeling, and this sense of alertness made his body's instincts faster than his consciousness could protect her. next to the girl.

"Don't move yet," he whispered.

Thinking of Edogawa's warning before leaving, Nakahara Nakahara, who hadn't noticed them yet, quickly said "Leave here first" before turning around and wrapping the cage island green circle into his arms. Quickly jumped into the alley next to the ice cream shop.

The moment they hid in the alley in a hurry, the orange-haired young man seemed to have a feeling and turned his head to glance at the other side of the street. After he didn't catch any suspicious people, he paused, and then looked back.

"Has anyone been found?"

In the distance, a woman's charming voice sounded slowly. She seemed a little careless, but in the Central Plains, she also heard a sticky and disgusting feeling.

This woman displeased him very much.

"...Mr. Chu, Nakaya, I feel like I've seen that woman somewhere—"

Halfway through the speech, the words were stuck in the throat, leaning against the wall of the alley, looking up at the sky, Cageshima Midori suddenly froze in place, and the slightly out-of-focus cherry-colored pupils were slowly getting bigger... ..

"that's terrible."

Suddenly, she muttered to herself, her voice distorted with tremors.

Nakahara Chuya, who was always paying attention to the girl's movements, had a slight movement in his heart, subconsciously followed her gaze, and his gaze passed through the other side of the alley, the colorful medieval red brick buildings in front of him, and the bustling and colorful crowd whizzed by. The tram finally landed on the steeple, and the blond man who was jumping in the air was holding a braided girl in a straw hat...

Body.

"..." Nakahara Chuya's eyes quickly darkened. At this moment, the dance music on the square seemed to be deliberately matching the leisurely pace of the two...

Tsk, it really is.

"Like it?" Or envy...?Turning his head, he looked at the girl who was immersed in despair, and suddenly said, "You...give me your hand."

After all, he seemed a little impatient, and before the girl could respond, Zhong Yuanzhong suddenly took her hand.

The fingers of the two were tightly intertwined, Cage Island Green blinked, her body was still stiff when he was dragged like this.However, Zhong Yuanzhong didn't care about these things, he quickly ran in the alley with his strong arms!

"Eh?!"

The heart was beating violently, as if it was about to burst out in the next second. Seeing that they were about to run to the entrance of the alley, the other party suddenly grabbed her waist and jumped up with gravity. At the same time, the scene began to change rapidly, and it was originally dark. The sky suddenly lit up!

The bustling market square gradually shrinks in the bird's-eye view, and a large piece of blue, clear, and unstained sky slowly catches the girl's eyes, as if it is a pure transparent sapphire without any impurities. Glittering beautifully...

The wind roared in the ears, and a head of faded and faded long wool curly hair was lifted high by the oncoming air waves and flew upwards——

The skirt flutters.The girl's exclamation was suddenly blocked in her throat, and she couldn't help but widen her almond eyes, looking in shock at the town under her feet.The next moment, she couldn't help but turned her head to look at the young man who was holding her hand and half wrapped her waist...

The corners of the mouth are slightly grinning, and there are bits and pieces of light shining in the confident and arrogant eyebrows and eyes.

The large coat draped over the shoulders of the other party was now fluttering backwards along with the raised orange curly hair, like wild and unruly waves, drawing a clean and neat arc under the transparent sky.

No matter how the strong wind poured in, the pure black bowler hat was still firmly worn on his hair.

Looking down, the open collar is filled with the explosive force of blood swelling, and you can just clearly see the pure black leather choker close to the skin... and the delicate protruding collarbone.

"thump--"

"Plop plop-"

...heartbeat is gradually increasing.

It's exactly what it says...

The handsome young man with orange hair, wrapped tightly in a suffocating black coat, walks steadily, leading her for a walk over the town together, like a shadow embracing light. "Shadows are born of light, but light exists for shadows." .”

The chest is warm and fiery.

"Don't be afraid, I'll hold you tight."

He said.

The voice came into the girl's ear clearly...

So gentle that it made her want to cry.
