[Net King + Patterns] Ugly Fish

It is undeniable that Keigo Atobe wanted to see Sakurako Sanjo's reaction, when he reiterated his decision in a calm tone as if announcing what to eat for dinner, "I'm going to Germany to go to high school."

At this moment, only Keigo Atobe knew that there was something wrong with the beating frequency of his heart. As for what kind of expression he wanted to see Sakurako Sanjo show, he had no idea.

Probably from realizing that her performance has always been calm, Atobe Keigo thought, if he could see Sanjo Sakura lose her composure, he might have a sense of accomplishment?

Atobe Keigo is somewhat special to Sanjo Sakurako——Atobe Keigo hopes to see such a result.

……

……and then?

Then, Sanjo Sakura's eyes widened slightly, her lips trembled as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, then she lowered her eyelashes, and slowly rubbed her hand on the table to the teacup, Pause for a moment before clenching the body of the cup, the knuckles of the tightened fingers are slightly white.

Silence spread between the two of them, and Keigo Atobe was not in a hurry to explain, and still looked at Sanjo Sakura quietly; after a long time, he saw the cup in her hand tremble slightly, and then she raised her eyes. He squinted his eyes, meeting his.

"Ah——I didn't hear you mention it before." There was no special change in her facial expression, but she looked a little dazed, and even the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed forced.

"Have you chosen a school? Well—that..." At this point, she fell silent again, her eyes wandering and staggering his gaze, and after a while, her tone trembled when she spoke again, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations?" Keigo Atobe raised one eyebrow in surprise, "Congratulations to me?"

"Ah? That, it's nothing." Xu Shi finally came to his senses. She blinked her eyes as if to adjust her state, "It's nothing." She repeated, her tone became clear, and the daze on her face gradually dissipated after a while.

"I wish you a smooth journey." She straightened her back as she spoke, as if she had armed herself in an instant, her expression and tone were impeccable.

Atobe Keigo stared at Sanjo Sakurako for a while, suddenly lost interest in teasing her, leaned his body over to get close to her, and said word by word, in the most serious tone ever, "Follow me to Germany. "

Come with me, get out of here, I'll take you.

……

Sanjo Sakurako's eyes widened in an instant, Atobe Keigo's mood suddenly brightened, the corners of his gray-purple phoenix eyes raised slightly, and he also expressed the awkward emotion of relaxation in a harsh tone, "What are you staring at, how dare you refute my uncle's decision?" try?"

Raising his hand, putting his fingers together, and knocking [咚——] on a certain smooth forehead, Atobe Keigo snorted, and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Throw those messy things aside, and pack your luggage when you go back. .”

"Huh? Ah—wait wait!"

Sanjo Sakura blinked her eyes a few times, and her blank expression finally changed, "Wait!" She suddenly raised her hand and crossed her chest to indicate a pause, then raised her voice a few degrees, "Isn't there still one semester left?" What?! What are you doing packing your luggage?"

"Always need to prepare in advance." Atobe Keigo patted her hand in a leisurely manner, raised his eyebrows, "I will solve the problem of leaving the country, as for you, pack my luggage obediently, and dare to make trouble..."

After a meaningful pause, Atobe Keigo narrowed his eyes, "Whether you want to leave the country through normal channels, or be checked as luggage, the choice is yours."

"Hey, hey--" Santiao Yingzi murmured feebly but did not refute anything specifically, but a thick black line was vaguely hung on the back of her head, and I don't know if it was because of the abnormal consequences he said, or because of some unspeakable things. Yes, emergencies that are inseparable from her.

Seeing the unmistakable joy in the eyes of Sanjo Sakurako, Keigo Atobe curled his lips for a long while, and the depressive feeling brought about by the conversation with his grandfather earlier finally faded away a little at this moment.

No matter how unfavorable this decision will be for him in the future, at least for now, he has no regrets.

……

Atobe Keigo believed that for a long time, he would be impressed by what happened today, not for anything else, but because he had never seen his grandfather show such a tired look before that conversation.

"Jing Wu, some people in this world are born with crises. ' This is what Keigo Atobe heard after sitting in the room with his grandfather for a long time.

While speaking, his grandfather quietly stared at the chessboard in front of him, sighed again for a long time, Keigo Atobe saw his grandfather finally raised his eyes, and the pupils tempered by the long years carried the wisdom of insight into all , and... grim.

'Sanjo Sakurako, that girl is more trouble than I heard. '

At that time, Atobe Keigo's heart sank suddenly, and he wanted to speak instinctively, but he tried his best to restrain his anxiety, and sat with a blank expression, listening to his grandfather continue to speak in a low tone.

'After the year you go to Germany as soon as possible. '

When these words reached his ears, Keigo Atobe felt uncontrollable panic and anger that he couldn't explain himself, but his grandfather didn't seem to notice him, and remained silent for a while. After that, he said again: "The old man can't see death. Although I don't want to admit it, I am already old." '

After that, Keigo Atobe never heard what his grandfather said again. The old man's eyes fell on the chessboard again, as if he had forgotten that there were people around him; Keigo Atobe waited for a long time, and finally he quietly leave.

Then, he turned back to the room where Sanjo Sakurako was, and made a quick decision in the short time he walked along the way.

'I'm going to Germany. ’ — he would say to her.

'Follow me to Germany. ’ — he would ask her so.

……Dividing line……

While choices have been made, at the end of the day, the process still requires a long-term view.

First of all, Keigo Atobe felt that the most urgent task was to leave the Koya Mountains.

Taking advantage of the fact that Beijing Liao and his party were so busy that they had no time to take care of others, he should set off immediately with three sakura seeds and luggage.

According to the strange attributes of Sanjo Sakurako, what can't happen?

Thinking of this, Keigo Atobe, who has always been an activist, suddenly felt unable to sit still.

"What are you in a daze for?" A palm patted on the head of a certain one who seemed to be wandering away, and when she woke up with a cry, he leaned in front of her, "Go get the luggage, let's go back to Tokyo."

"Eh?"

"Eh, what?" He gave her a disgusted look, looked back at the door, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to stay and wait for Beijing Liao to recover, and haunt you like a wraith, making you restless at night?"

At that time, if you get angry, you will definitely be in dire straits, right?He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but expressed it very clearly with his eyes.

"That's right!" The corners of her eyes twitched, she got up quickly, and slammed into the room, "Go, go, hurry up!" She pulled the travel bag in two or three, swept the sundries in, and ordered Him, "call."

Keigo Atobe hooked the corners of his mouth coolly, stood up, took out the phone from his pocket, and walked towards the door—unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he met the person coming around the corner from the end of the corridor Eyes met.

With a disgruntled click, Keigo Atobe put away the phone and asked the busy person behind him without turning his head, "Who is that person you said you couldn't mention during the day?"

"Huh?" Santiao Yingzi responded with a raised voice, paused for a moment before kicking something, muttered a few times, and then replied, "Cao Cao? Say everyone is here."

"Ah, you're right." Keigo Atobe sneered, raised his chin, and brought out Sanjo Sakurako who had criticized many times for "noble young master's style", snorting arrogantly at the visitor.

"What? Do you need to requisition my Yingzi's brain again?"

The so-called 'say everyone is here', the one who hurried over at this moment was the lingering Beijing Liao.

……

"What?" Sakurako Sanjo poked her head out of the room when she heard the words, then snorted coldly, held onto the door frame with one hand, and stopped Beijing Ryo who came closer, with a disgusted tone, "Why is it you again?"

"The two suspects were found in the monastery." Kitai Liao breathed imperceptibly when he spoke, but his forehead was still sweating in the snowy weather, and his expression was cautious, as if he was observing Sanjo Sakurako's mood, waiting for him. It took a while before continuing, "Maiko Akimoto's boyfriend and her half-brother...that...they...uh~"

"They're just here to pay homage." Sakurako Sanjo interrupted in a flat tone, "Didn't you teach it in the criminal investigation class? Before the truth of the case is revealed, everyone involved in it will be suspected."

"Aoki and Takano are indeed close to the victim, but you have missed someone, right?" Keigo Atobe looked up and down Ryo Kitai for a long while, seeing Sakurako Sanjo squinting her eyes, unable to tell whether she was happy or angry.

"The witness in the back alley of the hotel, Nanze brought back from the forest search this morning."

"Do you still need me to explain?"

"We're already tracking down Nanze." Ryo Kitai raised his voice, as if to justify his own actions, "It's just... Miura, where is the last missing person of the three defendants?"

"How could I know that kind of thing." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand impatiently. Under Beijing Liao's slightly surprised gaze, Sanjo Sakura raised one eyebrow with a half-smile, "Do you think he still has a chance? Survive at the hands of the mad father?"

After a few minutes, Keigo Atobe stepped forward to embrace Sanjo Sakura, and before turning back to return to the room, he said to Kitai Ryouman, who was standing by the side blankly, "If you can't find it, it will be treated as missing, just like Akimoto Maiko back then." .”

……

The door slowly closed, and from the corner of his eye, Beijing Liao's expression was indescribably complicated, his eyes were fixed on the slight movement of the lips inside the door, but in the end he didn't say a word, but slowly clenched his fists at his sides.

Atobe Keigo sighed silently.

'Just like Akimoto Maiko back then'——if it weren't for the more or less wealthy family background of the three defendants, the disappearance case would not have been dismissed from the very beginning. But nothing came to mind, and even Gao Ye, who had experienced it himself, didn't dare to say anything.

What's wrong with this ending now?

Even though Sanjo Sakurako's behavior is inappropriate, at least she believes that there is no crime that does not require a price, and Keigo Motobe deeply agrees with this point.

There may be evil deeds in this world that the law can't deal with, but one day, the invisible law in the dark will eventually give sanctions.

Therefore, it is appropriate to end like this.

……

The silhouette reflected on the paper sliding door finally left, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of light breathing, his and her's was left.

Keigo Atobe put away those spontaneous emotions, and his eyes fell on the face of Sanjo Sakura who was also silently watching the door. She looked at the door, her blurred eyes seemed to be staring at a certain point in the air, concentrating on it does not belong.

After a while, she turned her face sideways and looked into his eyes quietly.

Keigo Atobe clearly saw that there was something pure and dangerous in the pupils of Sakurako Sanjo, like a beast dormant in the dark silently looking at the world through the irises. Isolated by numerous obstacles, he struggled and roared, and finally restrained his minions, hiding in the depths of the eyes that gradually dissipated the fog.

She smiled at him, but didn't say anything, just turned back to a corner of the room, stood in front of the charcoal stove for heating, lifted the copper pot and bent over to stuff the things out of her pocket into the charcoal fire.

Across her figure, he couldn't see the thing clearly, he only glimpsed a corner of it when she spread it out, and vaguely felt it was a piece of white paper covered with colorful printing blocks.

There was a smell of ashes from burning in the air, Sanjo Sakura lowered her head halfway, her voice was low and hoarse, she spoke as if she was talking to him or talking to herself.

"Be my conscience ~ Jingwu."

He was taken aback for a moment, but before he could fully digest what she said, he heard her sneer, "I can't say such provocative words, it's irresponsible to put morality on others."

She turned her face back, tilted her head slightly, and a hint of incomprehensibility slipped quickly between her brows, "Take me to Germany, Jingwu; this is what I want to say."

"Are you an idiot?!" He strode up to her, and tapped her forehead lightly with his fingers together, "I told you, obediently follow my uncle."

He could probably guess what she burned just now. It was either a shocking conspiracy or a reminder that it would trigger a bloody killing. No matter what the reason was, she finally gave up.

He is very happy.

……

Condescendingly looking down at the three cherry blossoms covering their foreheads and screaming, the last glimmer of haze in Keigo Atobe's heart finally dissipated.

"Let's go together~" He held her face in his hands, brushed his thumb across the corner of her lips, and slowly, with an almost pious attitude, made a promise in a low voice, "No matter what happens next, I will be behind you .”

The smile on her face settled instead, and she stared at him for a while before nodding her head heavily, "Okay."

He saw that her eyes no longer had the gloom of ignorance that revealed a chill, and the eyes of this person who raised his head halfway up with a solemn expression gradually brightened up, as if he had hidden fragments of the sun.

……

OK, let's go together.

With you by my side, there is nothing to be afraid of.
