seaside.

It was dusk at the moment, and many people were walking along the street to digest food.There were also people who looked curiously at the girl on the bench by the side of the road—no way, she was so beautiful that it was very difficult for people to ignore her.

The sea breeze carried a fishy smell, and Quan Zhi leaned back against the back of the bench.The drawing board was leaning against her tender knees, with a few sketchy strokes on it, the human figure could barely be seen.

09 couldn't help persuading her: [It's the fifth day, don't you still write? 】

It's been five days, and Quan Zhi's homework is still on the first sheet.

If it wasn't for the difference in flow speed between the main plane and the secondary plane, and she still had time to struggle, 09 would have wanted Quan Zhi to just give up.

Quan Zhi squinted her eyes, and her cheeks were blushing beautifully due to the sun for a long time: [I'm drawing, I'm drawing, I'm working hard. 】

It is impossible to paint homework, as soon as you pick up the homework, even the dirty high-pitched voice of the classmate Shanyi next door becomes interesting.

"Meow~"

There was a soft meowing sound next to her ears——Quan Zhi turned her head and saw a three-flower sitting obediently next to her.

She immediately became interested, put the drawing board aside, stretched out her finger and scratched the cat's chin skillfully.The cat was touched comfortably, turned over and exposed its belly in front of Quan Zhi.

09 rolled his eyes at the side: [Disrespecting the old!unacceptable!Is the supernatural power just for you to use to find young girls to cheat for food and drink? ! 】

If it weren't for 02's refusal to share the animal simulation data with it, it would have turned into a cat, rolling in Miss Sister's arms!

Quan Zhi picked up the cat and put it on his lap, moved his head, and sighed: "'I am a cat' is really a good thing, it would be great if supernatural powers can be taught to each other like swordsmanship, so that Chuya can go learned."

Think about it and become a cat-stimulation.

After she finished saying this, she obviously felt the cat lying on her lap stiffen for a moment.

Quan Zhi smiled and hugged the cat, and whispered in its ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person—don't turn back into a human as soon as you get emotional. I still like cats more than humans." .”

Natsume-sensei: "......." I shouldn't have come to this chair to bask in the sun!

"Xiao Mi—"

"Where are you, Mimi?"

"Xiao Mi—"

Wearing glasses and wearing a Mori girl's long skirt, the woman with a light and familiar temperament called anxiously.She looked left and right, her eyes quickly locked on the cat in Quan Zhi's hand, and then she noticed Quan Zhi again.

There was a hesitant look on her face, not knowing whether she should step forward to confirm.

Fortunately, Quan Zhi took the initiative to ask, "Sister, is this your cat?"

While speaking, she also put the cat down - the cat ran to the woman's side in a few steps and rubbed her calf dependently.Haruno Qiluozi quickly waved her hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's a cat near the detective agency. I just come to feed it often. Today I found that it suddenly disappeared, and I thought something happened to Xiaomi..."

As she spoke, Haruno Qiluozi's voice gradually became quieter, with a hint of lack of confidence; from just now, she felt that this girl was so beautiful that she looked familiar, and now she finally remembered: Isn't this the same girl who was called by the president before? The little girl you stopped?

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to recognize her, and smiled sweetly at her: "If you like it, it's best to take it back and raise it! It's not safe to raise stray cats."

Haruno Kirako unwrapped the snacks in her hands, squatted down and fed them to the cat.When she heard Quan Zhi's words, she showed a little helpless expression: "Because of some irresistible reasons... and Xiao Mi's personality doesn't like living in the room, so she has been free-range."

"Xiao Mi seems to like you very much!"

Hearing Haruno Kiroko's last words, the cat's movement of eating snacks froze for a moment: I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!

"Maybe it's because of my aura," Quan Zhi said nonsense without blushing, "I'm more attracted to small animals."

09: 【...Doesn't your conscience ache? 】

Quan Zhi kept smiling: 【The savior doesn't need a conscience. 】

She picked up her drawing board and hugged it in her arms, while looking up at Kiraka Haruno: "Sister, you just said a detective agency—is there a detective agency around here?"

Looking at it from the perspective of Haruno Kirako, you can just see the cutest angle of the girl: the round golden cat eyes, and the blush blooming on the soft white cheeks.

She gasped, feeling as if an angel had pierced her heart with an arrow!

"Yes, yes!" Kiroko Haruno stammered unconsciously: "It's just above the coffee shop opposite, the Armed Detective Agency... eh!"

Halfway through the speech, she quickly covered her mouth and said with a sneer, "It's a very ordinary detective agency anyway... By the way, it's Tuesday today, don't you have class?"

The little girl looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, she should still be studying.After all, those teenagers in the detective agency are a minority.

Quan Zhi blinked, raised her index finger and tapped the flower drawing board in her arms, with a sweet smile: "Yes, I'm an art student, and I'm here to collect folk songs."

"My name is Quan Zhi, and I just moved here—what's your name, sister?"

No one can resist a beautiful sister with a sweet smile - no!have!people!

Haruno Qiluozi was dizzy from that sweet smile, and said with difficulty: "My name is... Haruno Qiluozi."

"Sister Haruno."

Tilting his head, he read her name slowly.Quan Zhi smiled, and waved to Haruno Qiluozi: "I remember, then see you next time, sister Haruno."

Haruno Qiluozi hurriedly said goodbye to her: "See you next time!"

Seeing that the girl rode on a bicycle, Ding Ding was running away; then Kunye Qiluozi reacted, and quickly covered her hot face: "What ah ... what am I doing? Is this God tricking me into having a daughter?"

The cat who was eating ham sausage even chewed slower than usual.It looked melancholy at Haruno Kirako, then lowered its head to continue licking the snacks.

With the sea breeze blowing across his face, Quan Zhi was riding a bicycle unsteadily, humming a little song, looking in a good mood. 09 glanced at the drawing board in the basket of the car, and said desperately: [Baby Quanzhi, are you planning to go back now?Don't draw your homework? 】

[The person I want to meet has already met. 】Quan Zhi glanced at the drawing board in disgust, then turned her head: 【It's just ten sketches, I'm sure I can finish them, let's get rid of the false gods first. 】

09: [...The look in your eyes just now, obviously you don't want to draw? 】

[Wow~] Quanzhi looked at the horizon in the distance and sighed: [The sea illuminated by the sunset is so beautiful!Let me take a photo...]

09 Annoyed: [You changed the subject again! 】

And the way of changing the subject is as blunt as ever.

【Ugh. 】

Quan Zhi sighed, stopped the bicycle, put one foot on the ground, and said to herself: [Zhong Ye hasn't come back for several days, I really want to eat strawberry ice. 】

It has been five days since she asked Chuya to arrange for the Akutagawa brothers and sisters.

Of course, it's not like there's no news at all.At least Zhong will also leave a message for her, telling her that she is currently busy with the attack of the Mafia on Leibo Street.

Although Quan Zhi knew it was a lie, she never dispelled it.

09 rolled his eyes, and murmured angrily: [Look, look, what did I say?There are not many good things in human beings, no matter how cute a child is, he is determined to become a human being! 】

Its favorability towards carbon-based life is quite low, and even its initial favorability towards humans is not high.Of course, Quanzhi is an exception - 09 fell in love with Quanzhi at first sight.

There is no reason for this liking, just like some people can't explain why they hate eating coriander.

Quan Zhi ignored it, looked at the sea and sighed again: [It's been so many days, will he forget that I want more strawberries and sugar for ice cream? 】

09 Continuing to think: [Are you still thinking about your glass of strawberry ice?It would be nice if he didn't bring you a backstab spree back! 】

[I see that when people raise children, they have to worry about whether they are full or not, how is their relationship outside, whether their friends are having a good time, and also pay attention to psychological problems... What about you raising children?It's not like you care about how he gets along with other people. 】

Quan Zhi ignored it - she looked at the horizon in the distance, the sun was sinking slowly, dyeing half of the sky brilliant red.The blue sea surface also reflects the red of the setting sun, as if there is a fire burning in the sea water.

Through a small rubber band, she touched the flame tattoo on her left wrist; the tattoo was done by Quan Zhi after she joined Barbara.At first, he respected her because she was young, and she was not allowed to get a tattoo—then in the summer, when the weather turned hot, Hatta took her to a tattoo artist secretly to get a flame tattoo on her wrist in order to coax her into wearing a short-sleeved skirt.

Quan Zhi still remembered the tattoo artist who had tattooed flames for many members of Barbara.He studied the scar on Quan Zhi's wrist, made gestures for a long time, and promised her with a smile: "Don't worry! I will cover it up beautifully for you!"

He kept his words, and the flame patterns covered the scars exactly. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't see any traces at all.

09 was still thinking about it, Quan Zhi yawned, and said: [I am not his guardian, I just take care of his life out of humanitarianism, why should I care about that? 】

【I'm sleepy, let's go, go back and take a nap in the afternoon. 】

Probably because she was really sleepy, it was rare for Quan Zhi to ride the bicycle without wobbling, but seriously rode the bike to the door of her house—then she saw the wandering girl standing at the door of her house.

Quan Zhi raised her eyebrows and squeezed the brake: "Silver?"

She was very impressed with the girl because she was pretty.

Yin was hesitating whether to ring the doorbell, but he was startled when he heard a voice behind him.She turned around and saw that it was Quan Zhi, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Kawasaki...so you're not at home?"

"Going for a walk."

Quan Zhi casually found a reason to perfuse her, and asked by the way: "Are you looking for Zhongye? He's not at home."

"No, no, no." Yin quickly shook his head and said, "I'm here to find you."

Her expression became serious: "My brother and I discovered something. I want to tell sister Kawasaki."

Yin was talking at the side, Quan Zhi was completely unaffected, and slowly took out the key to open the door: "What is it?"

Yin bit his lower lip, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "On the second day after Mr. Chuya introduced us to 'Sheep', a woman named Yizi suddenly came to win us over... …”

'Click it'!

The lock is open.

Quan Zhi pushed open the door, and took up the conversation without looking back: "Then they asked you tactfully, I don't seem to be worth following?"

Yin opened his mouth, and the rest of the words were immediately blocked in his throat, unable to speak.She thought back to the way those people had wooed her, and she felt rejoicing at the same time that it was absurd: they thought that everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng, but the leader actually knew everything.

Quan Zhi stood at the door and waved at Yin: "Although what they say is not pleasant, it is the truth. Thank you very much for letting me know, but I won't take care of this matter."

"Of course, I will not interfere with the choice between you and your brother."

"Go back quickly, it's best not to come to me at ordinary times."

She closed the door, went home yawning, and turned on the light. 09 floated beside her, and whispered: [Although I haven't researched the code of mimicry animals, I can project a few cat clouds for you to take a few breaths. 】

Quan Zhi unpacked the bag of potato chips, and just turned on the TV - when she heard 09's words, she smiled and looked up at it: [Ah~ are you kidding me, 09? 】

09 remained silent.

It just felt that when Quan Zhi rejected Yin's sincerity just now, his whole body exuded a sense of isolation from the world, which was a bit pitiful.

Even though 09 knew that Quan Zhi's bad personality didn't need to be pitiful, it couldn't restrain himself from wanting to make Quan Zhi happy.

In 09's impression, Quan Zhi was rarely happy.She laughs a lot, but rarely when she is happy—the first time she saw Quanzhi was in the isolation room of the Administration—the girl sat quietly on a chair and rested, wearing a black metal On the collar, the small green light on it continued to emit a faint light.

There are shackles on her wrists and ankles that suppress abilities: this level of ability suppression, in terms of the mental endurance of normal human beings, should have been overwhelmed and mentally broken long ago.

But Quanzhi was very quiet.When she heard the movement of 09 at the door, she turned her head and looked over, her brows and eyes curved into a sweet smile.

09 was struck by that sweet and deadly smile, and the main program crashed on the spot.
