Zhong also obviously doesn't think so.

After all, when anyone sees a girl who is nearly ten years younger than him—and a girl who is not yet an adult expresses his admiration for him, the first thing that comes to his mind should be "she is not mature enough, I can't do this"—— Although it is an established fact that he likes her.

But Zhong is also a mature adult man.

And a mature adult man knows what he should do and what he should not do.

So he shook his head and said, "You're too young."

Maki blinked.

She probably misunderstood something, and the look of disappointment in her eyes disappeared for a moment, but she didn't let Zhong Ye find out.

She just pouted coquettishly.

"I'm not a child anymore, Mr. Nakaya."

"But you're not an adult either." Chuya said.

"Looks like you're right."

Maki said to the system with some disappointment, "You are all right - he won't like me."

The system's voice trembled.

It said: [Not necessarily, host. 】

Maki smiled slightly.

She raised her eyes and said, "Then if I wasn't a little girl, would you like me?"

"Maybe." Zhong also said ambiguously.

He stood up, jumped an apple from the fruit basket brought by the sympathizers next to him, sat next to Maki's hospital bed, found a knife and began to peel it.

Chuya's knife skills are very good. The red apple peel was peeled into long uninterrupted strips, and then fell to the ground with a "snap".

Maki's heart also trembled with it.

At that moment, she almost blurted out - in fact, she is not a little girl, in fact, she is from a parallel world, in fact, she has already known Chuya from another world.

But in the end, he didn't say a word.

Maki took the apple, took a bite of it lightly, and then stared at the neat tooth marks on the pulp.

Zhong also rubbed her head.

"You'll find someone you really like in the future," he said bitterly, "someone who really likes you."

He felt that the little girl under his hand was stiff for a moment, so he moved his palm uncomfortably.

However, in the next second, Maki raised her head, as if nothing had happened to her, the expression on her face returned to the usual flatness.

"That's what you said," she said.

*****

When Maki was officially discharged from the hospital, there were still two weeks before she left school—the doctor wanted her to stay in the hospital for a longer period of observation, but Maki refused.

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Chuya was sent on a business trip again, so Osamu Dazai came to pick her up.

When Maki was hospitalized, she was alone. Now that she is discharged from the hospital, she doesn't have much luggage. A small box can fill it up.

Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand and motioned for him to take it. He thought that Maki would bluntly refuse, but unexpectedly, the little girl handed him the suitcase without much hesitation.

She looked a little worried.

Osamu Dazai closed the trunk and joked, "What's the matter, emotional trouble?"

"You have to have some basis for guessing, Dazai-san." Maki rolled his eyes.

Osamu Dazai smiled, watched her get into the co-pilot, and got into the front driver's seat himself, pulling the brakes and firing the accelerator.

"go home directly?"

Maki thought for a moment and said, "I still have something to do, can I trouble you to send my things back?"

Dazai stared at her for a few seconds.

"You've just been discharged from the hospital," he said warningly. "Besides, school will start soon—didn't you work hard to get into the hero department?"

Shinji held his chin with one hand, looked out of the window boredly, and said indifferently: "I know it in my heart."

Osamu Dazai didn't say much.

He stopped the car at the place Maki designated, which was the largest tram station in Yokohama, leading in all directions - Maki didn't seem to want him to see where he wanted to go.

She didn't even take the tram card, she just asked him how many [-] yuan notes, and then got out of the car with her hands in her pockets and two things.

Taking advantage of the reflection from the car window, Maki put on the peaked cap and sunglasses, and then tucked her long hair into the brim of the hat.

Osamu Dazai rolled down the car window and looked at her inexplicably: "If Chuya finds out, he will definitely be angry."

Zhen Ji faked a smile and said, "Don't worry about the loan."

She knew in her heart that Osamu Dazai was not a very kind person, and he didn't like to meddle in other people's business—the previous dissuasion was probably because he had taken the wrong medicine, and he had always been a kind of laissez-faire when it came to her own desire to take risks. Attitude.

Moreover, this kind of "letting go" has become more and more obvious recently.

Maki suspects that it probably has something to do with the so-called main task of the system - people like Osamu Dazai always know something that ordinary people don't.

She lowered the brim of her hat, waved casually at Osamu Dazai, and then dodged into the crowd.

Osamu Dazai stared at her deeply, until the petite figure could no longer be seen, then he closed the car window again.

The screen of the mobile phone next to it kept flickering.

[Chuya should not come back within a month. 】

Dazai stared at the screen for a few seconds.

Then pick it up and reply: [I see——]

His fingers paused.

[Mr. Mori. 】

*****

Maki did not leave immediately after entering the subway station as Osamu Dazai thought.

She sat down in a cafe in the subway station, leisurely ordered a cup of black coffee, sugar-free and dairy-free, then found a secluded corner, and took out her mobile phone and portable folding keyboard from her pocket.

She plugged in her earphones, then cut a random French song to cover the noisy sound in the cafe.

Maki opens a website.

When she was in the hospital, she found this website—in a sense, this is the so-called "dark web", which is full of things that ordinary people cannot see. It is thanks to the function of the system that Maki can find it. Paid a price of 20 yuan.

It was not a lie that Maki said before that she knew what she knew.

"The sixth main task is not complete yet," she pondered, "that is to say, I have to figure out the truth of the book no matter what."

The truth of the book.

Maki took out a napkin and wrote a few key words on it with the ballpoint pen she carried with her.

Dostoevsky.

Laughing man.

The tip of his nose taps the napkin a few times, then circles the word "The Laughing Man."

Probably because of intuition, Maki thinks that the Laughing Man has more to do with this matter. Even though this person has used only a small trick up to now, Maki feels that this is not his limit—he It's more like a boring child. The small tricks he is currently using are just casually used by him out of boredom. If that person is really serious, the consequences will be disastrous.

Maki paused.

But these are just her conjectures.

If you want to know more - Tosi's side is obviously not credible.

So she can only rely on her to take the initiative.

Now the only chip in Maki's hand is [Card Damage].

This newly opened ability is so easy to use that it is beyond Maki's imagination. Although it costs a lot of money, such a long-range attack method that does not limit the distance can be said to be very convenient.

Maki clicked on the post he posted on the website forum a few days ago.

Anyone who can read this forum, without exception, is not a good thing - the purpose of this forum is to allow various gangsters to contact privately, and of course there is no shortage of information trading and human life trading.Although the website was built in Japan, there are also posts in other languages, such as Maki, which uses English.

[Online fortune-telling by the only descendant of a foreign metaphysics family, check if you have a bloody disaster? 】

Without exception, the first few layers of recovery were all questions like "???" With a small injury within a few days, this post that didn't match the atmosphere of the forum instantly became popular.

Of course, those so-called "minor injuries" were all caused by Maki - I don't know if it was her luck or something, but there happened to be a few characters corresponding to her SSR card.

And Maki has already learned through a well-known information dealer on the forum that the Laughing Man seems to be in private contact with people from the Karasuma Group recently.

With such a big criminal group, there will definitely be people sneaking online, Maki finally got her goal today.

She was still an acquaintance - when the system checked the ip and told Maki what that person looked like, she was slightly surprised.

Gin, the top executive of the Karasuma Group.

Zhenji scanned the content on the gin card, a little puzzled as to why such a person would go to the forum to read the posts, but the reason for this had nothing to do with her, so Zhenji clicked on the avatar of the replyer and chatted privately with him.

[Maki (English): Hey. 】

【Maki (English): I'm sorry, just now I figured out that your subordinates seem to be about to trip and break their bones. 】

At this moment, Vodka, who was peeking at the forum on his elder brother's mobile phone, was taken aback for a moment.

He took a few steps closer to Qinjiu: "Brother, the host who has been very popular these two days said that I will break a bone soon."

Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows, and sneered: "Quick talk, let her go."

Vodka grunted in response.

【Gin (half-baked English): ?Miss, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can’t talk indiscriminately——]

"Gin" suddenly disappeared for a few seconds.

【Gin (fluent English): What do you want to do? 】

Maki folded the napkin with satisfaction, and replied: [I want to meet you. 】

The author has something to say:

Thanks to the little angel who threw the grenade: Shen Chen 1;
