When the Sand Sculpture Trial Comes to Yokohama

After attending Fujika Academy for a day, Minan Rinka felt that the things taught in the class were not difficult, and the way the teachers taught was also simple and easy to understand.

what does that mean?This means that when Minan Rinka needs to do the tasks of the Tokino Government, or when something happens in Yokohama, she can ask for leave without any scruples, and she doesn't have to worry about it affecting her test scores...

The end of school at Fujika Gakuen is 02:30 pm, and after that is club time.Minan Rinka usually has a lot of things to do, so she has no idea of ​​joining the club.So when the time came, she packed up her things and left.

As soon as Minan Rinka came out of the gate of Fujika Academy, when she looked up, she saw the tall boy from Romance Academy who was peeping behind a tree in the morning standing at the school gate looking forward, as if waiting for someone.

According to the palpitation value exchange system, this boy's name should be Nozaki Umetaro.

Minan Rinhua glanced at him, but didn't pay much attention, and wanted to pass him by raising her leg.Unexpectedly, Nozaki Umetaro's eyes lit up after seeing Minan Rinka, and he walked quickly.

"Well, please stop." He stopped Minan Rinhua.

Minan Rinka turned her head in surprise, and saw Nozaki Umetaro raised his hand and touched the back of his neck uncomfortably, hesitant to speak.

——Nozaki Umetaro came here on purpose, just to squat Minan Rinka.After seeing a farce at the gate of Fujika Academy in the morning, the image of Minan Rinka was deeply imprinted in his heart, which made him realize the fact that he added a superficially serious but privately excessive character to his comics. Sand sculpture handsome guy character, it seems very interesting.

So here comes Nozaki Umetaro.For his own manga, he made up his mind to talk to Minan Rinka and get more material from her.

But when things came to an end, Umetaro Nozaki called Minan Rinka to stop, but for a moment he didn't know what to say as an opening remark.

But this kind of hesitation in Minan Rinhua's eyes carried another meaning.

Minan Rinka was silent for a moment, and said: "Are you reluctant to give the book to Mr. Tomioka again, do you want to get the book back? You look a little bit like that, let me tell you..."

Umetarou Nozaki was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No, no..."

Why do you think he is so stingy!

Nozaki Umetaro hesitated for a moment, and said whatever came to mind: "To tell you the truth, my name is Nozaki Umetaro, and I am a girl cartoonist who serializes comics in monthly magazines. After seeing you, your classmates and teachers this morning, I just want to know about your life so that I can draw material for the manga..."

"Oh..." Minan Rinhua suddenly understood.This is to use her for inspiration.

It turns out that Umetaro Nozaki is a manga artist, no wonder he stuffed Tomioka Yoshiyuki with a manga this morning without saying a word...

But can Xiaohua tell him the details of her life casually?Obviously not.

When it comes to daily life, she lives in Honmaru with a group of sword fusangshen; when it comes to daily work, she holds a confidential employment contract from the government of time to maintain history.These things must not be leaked out, otherwise the entire Honmaru will be held accountable.So far, the only person who knows the existence of Honmaru is Chuya Nakahara;

Even about Yokohama, Minan Rinka didn't plan to talk about it.Letting an ordinary male high school student know that there is a powerful enough lethal ability lurking so close to him, apart from causing him panic, it has no other use at all.

So Minan Rinka thought for a moment, and then said: "Did you listen carefully in class? Have you finished your homework? Have you reviewed all the exams? Have you registered for the remedial class?"

Nozaki Umetaro was a little dazed by Minan Rinhua's barrage of questions: "Not yet..."

"Then do you still have time to ask here?" Minan Rinhua said, "Why don't you go back and do your homework to prepare for the exam?"

[System prompt: Nozaki Umetaro's palpitation value +200]

After two seconds of silence, Nozaki Umetaro asked, "Then what if I answer... yes?"

Minan Rinhua spread her hands: "Then it's over? Which student doesn't listen to lectures and write questions for exams? Since you are doing it yourself, why don't you ask me to understand..."

[System prompt: Nozaki Umetaro's palpitation value +250]

After leaving the bewildered Nozaki Umetaro behind, Minan Rinka turned around and found a secluded place where no one was there, turned the teleportation compass back to Honmaru.

White light flickered, Minan Rinka reappeared in the courtyard of Honmaru with her schoolbag on her back.

"My lord!" As soon as Minan Rinka appeared, Kakiri Hasebe, who was pacing back and forth in the corridor opposite the teleportation compass, rushed up to greet her, "Just now, the Armed Detective Agency called!"

***

"Rinka Minan?" The Armed Detective Agency does not have Rinka Minan's personal phone number, only the phone number to contact Honmaru. At this moment, Kunikida Doppo who is on the phone asked, "Do you have time now?"

"Yes, yes. What's the matter?" she asked.

"Do you remember what I told you a few days ago about cooperating with Cang?" Kunikida Doppo asked.

"Remember." Minan Rinka replied.

"Just today, 'Cang' sent a job invitation to the Armed Detective Agency, hoping that we can send Mr. Ranpo to assist them in solving a case. It's just that Mr. Ranpo is on a business trip in Kyushu right now, so he has no time to assist 'Cang' in the investigation. President Fukuzawa took the opportunity to recommend your sword firm to them."

"The e-recommendation letter has already been sent, and it has been reviewed by Moki Fununtaro, the head of the department responsible for reasoning and analysis in 'Kura', 'Ihata'." Kunikida Doppo said, "You'd better send a suitable one as soon as possible." The members are going to Tokyo, and I have already sent the address to your mailbox."

Minan Rinka suddenly understood.This is a great opportunity to skip the ability license, and she will never let it go.

"I understand." She thought for two seconds before saying, "I'll go in person."

***

Minan Rinka's preparations were done very quickly—after she changed her school uniform and picked out a pair of shirts and high-waisted long skirts, she compared the map and the address sent by Kunikida Doppo, and chose a relatively secluded place. The place was teleported to the past.

From Yokohama to Tokyo, it takes less than 30 minutes by JR, but from Honmaru to Tokyo, it only takes a moment to use the teleportation compass. Five minutes later, Minan Rinka stood in front of the police facility where "Cang" was located.

The facility where the "Cang" organization is located is not in the same building as the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.What Minan Rinka saw at this moment was a modern building covered with glass curtain walls.She looked up, raised her legs, walked up the steps and entered the building.

What Kunikida Doppo said is indeed true.As soon as Minan Rinka handed out the business card of "Touken Office", a man in a suit and uniform who claimed to be a foreign affairs analyst brought her into the reception room next to her.After the two parties signed a confidentiality contract, he introduced Minan Rinhua to the elevator that required fingerprints to unlock.

Minan Rinka stood in the elevator, looking at the display screen with numbers flashing - it was obviously a tall building, but the foreign affairs analyst who brought her pressed down a floor with a negative number.

From the buttons in the elevator, it can be seen that there are seven floors underground in this facility building.The foreign affairs analyst pressed the button on the fourth floor.

The elevator is extremely fast and makes no noise.Soon, there was a "ding dong" sound as the floor arrived, and the silver metal elevator doors slid silently towards both sides.The foreign affairs analyst who brought Minan Rinka down first stepped out of the elevator, and then turned slightly to let her follow.

After stepping out of the elevator, Minan Rinka finally understood the reason why this facility has seven underground floors.

She came out from the fifth floor, but she could fully see the scene from the fourth floor to the sixth floor.I saw that these three floors were completely opened up, forming a huge well-shaped cylindrical space, which was connected by a platform and a spiral staircase.

And this space is faintly divided into two key areas, the main body of one area is a large intelligent operation screen inlaid with all the circular walls, while the center of the other area on the lower floor is vacated with a circle with a diameter of about 2.5 meters. area, the bottom of which is a stereoscopic projection instrument.

A man standing not far from the elevator entrance saw Minan Rinhua coming out, so he turned and walked towards her.

The visitor was wearing a tailored black suit and a dark shirt, his short black hair was trimmed into a neat hairstyle, and his facial features seemed somewhat irresistible and fierce.He stood still in front of Minan Rinka, and asked straight to the point: "Sword Office?"

"Yes." Minan Rinka nodded, and took out a newly printed business card, "The person in charge of the sword office, Minan Rinka."

"I'm Momoki Funataro, the director of 'Ihata'." The man took Minan Rinka's business card and glanced at it, frowning slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his expression, "When President Fukuzawa recommended it to me, , but it didn’t mention that the person who came here would be a female high school student.”

When Minan Rinhua heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "How do you know that I'm not well-maintained..."

Hearing this, Baigui Funataro was slightly taken aback.

"Excuse me, what is your age this year?" he asked.

Minan Rinka: "I'm 16 years old, hehe..."

Bai Guifuuntaro fell silent for a moment.

Isn't this just a real high school girl?Then what did she argue just now?
