Maki slammed on the door twice again.

After a few seconds of silence, she turned around abruptly, and then let out a long breath: "They fell asleep."

Zhong didn't know when the lighter's fire was extinguished.In the darkness, Maki could only see a vague shadow.The shadow was motionless, and Maki guessed that Nakaya's blue eyes, which would appear darker in the dark, were staring closely at her face.

She suddenly relaxed.

Maki fumbled to find a stool and sat down, and whispered, "...Sorry, Mr. Nakaya."

She felt that she was not doing it wisely.

Whether it is to find Dostoevsky, or to hide Mr. Chuya.

The girl covered her face in the darkness.

She doesn't hate the dark, but she doesn't like it either.So her voice became a little trembling: "Can we go out first?"

Zhong also walked to the door.

He lit the fire again, and brought the flame close to the wooden door under Maki's surprised eyes.

"Mr. Chuya...?"

Maki's words were halfway through, but she swallowed them back.

The door panels didn't burn as she had imagined.In fact, almost nothing happened—the little tongue of flame licked the grain of the wood, but the wood didn't cooperate at all.

Zhong also knocked on the door, and the heavy wooden door made a dull sound.

"Fireproof and explosion-proof." Zhong also said, "After my ability test - the only way to get out is to tear down this wall."

Maki's eyes paused for a moment.

There were no windows in the wine cellar, nor any other exits.

She frowned: "Why did you install such an exaggerated door?"

Zhong also said: "...the material was on sale at that time."

This is, after all, the residence of the cadres of Port Mafia.Although it looks like an ordinary, slightly gorgeous house from the outside, in fact all the doors and windows are stronger than the riot shields of the police. Ordinary walls are inlaid with layers of dense barbed wire that are difficult to break through.

Perhaps the weakest point is the door lock that was broken just now.

Maki let out an "oh", and didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Zhong also looked a little overwhelmed.Such a small episode also calmed him down a bit. He was more worried about whether staying in such a dark place would make her feel uncomfortable than what the little girl was hiding from him.

Maki pointed behind him: "There are some candles in that drawer."

Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows: "Why are there candles here?"

Maki uncomfortably straightened the hair around her cheeks: "Because we think candles and roses will sell better together—"

She paused.

The eyes that have adapted to the darkness saw Chuya's face, obviously this is not a convincing reason.

"Well," said Maki, "actually these roses aren't for sale either—do you know, Saki Fujiwara? The lady from the real estate company I mentioned to you is going to have a formal wedding with her fiancé next month." Engaged."

Zhong also froze for a moment.

Chuya: "I remember you are only in the first year of high school?"

"But the cooperation of their family business can't wait until they come of age—"

Maki walked around Chuya, took out a bunch of apple-shaped candles from the back drawer, placed them on the table in a circle, and signaled Chuuya to light them too.

Maki: "Besides, they get along pretty well recently, at least better than before."

At the beginning of school, Gao Fajiao always thought that Fujiwara Saki was just an unreasonable young lady.

But as time goes by, Fujiwara actually has a lot of lovely things-she looks beautiful, although she is pretty but has a straightforward personality, she is still a good girl.

Nakaya silently lit all the candles.

Because there was no wind, the tiny flames burned straight up.

Maki sat in the original position without moving, staring at the circle of candles intently - under any other circumstances, this should be an extremely romantic scene.

Most of the bright red roses were planted in beautiful pots, and some had been wrapped in shiny wrapping paper and soft ribbons in advance.

Under the flame of the warm color system, the edges and corners of the rose seem to be smoothed, and there is a little softness in the beauty.

She stared at the roses until the flames flickered before she suddenly came back to her senses.

Maki stood up, pushed back her chair, and walked to the door.

She looked at the lock. "Do you think we can take it off?"

The door lock is fixed by two screws, cross, and the gap is not very large.

Zhong also shrugged: "Unless when you brought in roses and candles, you also brought a screwdriver with you."

Maki glanced back at him, then turned his head: "It doesn't have to be a screwdriver, like a utility knife—or an iron ruler or something like that."

She paused: "Four Four, draw a card."

The hardness of the R card is comparable to that of an iron sheet. In this case, it can completely replace a screwdriver.

System: [Host, did you forget something? 】

Maki froze for a moment.

A light blue translucent screen was displayed in front of her.

The balance column above is a bright red duck egg.

Maki: "...Yeah, I went bankrupt just now."

Maki: "Mr. Nakaya, do you have any cash with you?"

Zhong also frowned slightly: "Why do I have to bring cash at home?"

... also makes sense.

Besides, even if online payment is not developed in Japan, people like Nakaya are more comfortable with bank cards than cash.

However, Maki's current series cannot be recharged by non-cash - thank God the maximum denomination of Japanese banknotes is [-] yen, otherwise Maki would often have to run around with several boxes of cash.

Maki put one hand on our class and let out a long sigh.

After such a set, she was hungry—when she was down there before, she didn’t eat anything except the small steaks at the beginning. After all, dealing with a bunch of drunks and a Dazai was too much effort, and she could hardly even drool. not on.

Maki gave up and sat back: "Can I talk while eating?"

He also made a "please" gesture.

Maki simply sat down across from him, picked up a piece of butter bread and gnawed it in small bites.

She carefully looked at Chuuya from the corner of her eye, but Chuya didn't know what she was thinking, and never asked the question.

Maki is of course happy, but she also knows that this is not a good solution.

So the girl said slowly: "I found Dostoevsky because of the Laughing Man—I mean, when I was in USJ, I felt that guy didn't get along so well with other people."

Chuya: "Yes."

Maki: "So I found a way to find his whereabouts, and then reached a cooperation with him with a little intelligence."

Chuya: "Yes."

Maki: "But I don't trust him completely—I don't trust him very much, exactly, so it's just another source of inaccurate information, and I won't even meet him again—"

She paused.

Then he said, "Mr. Chuya, are you listening?"

Chuuya suddenly came back to his senses.

Maki was gnawing on another piece of butter bread, her cheeks were slightly puffed up, a bit like a hamster.

He stared at her for a few seconds, and blurted out a sentence: "Will children of your age fall in love in school?"

Maki: "What?"

She almost forgot she had bread in her mouth and almost choked on it.

Zhong also quickly picked up a bottle of drink next to her and handed it to her.

Maki gulped down a few mouthfuls, and managed to avoid the tragic ending of suffocating himself to death.

She coughed a few times and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Chuya: "Because of those two classmates in your class...you don't seem to think this is any strange thing at all."

Maki shook her hair: "Their relationship is quite special, but—"

"That's right," she said, "There are quite a lot of couples in our school. There are probably a little less in the hero department, and most of them in the business department are family marriages, but it seems that everyone in the general department is in love."

Because of cultural differences, falling in love in high school in Japan is a very common thing, and there are no parents who twitter about it. Except for some schools with very strict school rules, most teachers also turn a blind eye.

In places like Xiongying, where the school spirit is free, the teachers will even make fun of young couples who are dating on campus.

Zhong also looked slightly surprised.

He frowned: "Did someone confess to you?"

Maki picked up another piece of butter bread: "Occasionally."

Although she has a relatively strong reputation in the school, Zhenji is actually a pretty and petite girl. According to the gossip of the round glasses, she is still the top three on the list of the cutest girls in the heroic school this year.

Saying it is "occasionally" is a little modest, almost every month Maki will receive two or three love letters.

Maki watched Chuya's expression carefully.

Could it be that Mr. Chuya is the kind of feudal parent who does not allow his children to fall in love at school?

Chuuya had a strange expression on his face.

He paused, and then changed the subject: "Why did you go to Dostoevsky without telling me?"

Maki was silent for a while.

Then he said with some embarrassment: "I just don't want you to worry."

Zhong also noticed that she unconsciously used honorifics again, which is a manifestation of Maki's nervousness.

The little girl lowered her eyes with some guilt, her long eyelashes cast a sparse shadow on her face.

She looked tense.

"That's not a reason."

Chuya's voice was calm: "I'm really worried, but it won't stop you from doing it."

Maki's voice became even smaller: "Can't you?"

Zhong was also silent for a few seconds.

"I can not guarantee."

Without waiting for Maki to say anything, he continued: "You shouldn't be involved in these things," he said gently, "This is the only correct thing Dazai said, you are too young, even if you want to Saving the world can also wait until you grow up."

Maki's lips moved.

"But I don't have that much time," she said.

——Just now, if she wants to upgrade and get [Card Damage], she must first complete the fifth main task.

And the progress of the main task five is only 50%. If she wants to know the remaining half, she must first find that guy named Laughing Man.

Chuya: "Why?"

Maki didn't look up, she pursed her lips: "I can't say."

She clasped the bread in her hands uncomfortably.This matter has something to do with the system, and she is determined to hide everything about the system for the rest of her life.

She felt Chuya's eyes burning hotly on her head.

"I always thought you were hiding something," Chuya said, "but are you going to keep hiding it from everyone?"

Maki's fingers snapped.

She wanted to say something, but Naka had already moved on.

His voice was very flat, a little deep, with a touch of hoarseness.

"—Even for your future lover?"

The author has something to say:

Thanks to the little angel who threw the grenade: Qin Xiangxiang 1;

Thanks to the little angels of the irrigation nutrient solution: 100 bottles of Xin Zimo; 5 bottles of Soired, Miss Zhongye; 2 bottles of Blue Locke Devino, and Bird in a Cage;
