June, early summer.

After May came out, Sakuya obviously felt that the weather was a little hotter, but this feeling lasted and entered the rainy season within a few days. Every day was either cloudy or rainy, and the probability of outsider events plummeted. Shima also said to Sakuya in a joking tone: "This is the season with the lowest overtime frequency of the year, you must cherish it."

In this regard, Sakuya's answer is: "I love work, I only love work, and work makes me happy! The earth doesn't explode, and we don't take holidays! Work makes me find the meaning of life!"

Fushimi looked at Sakuya with twitching corners of his mouth: "Do you believe what you say?"

"...I don't believe it." Sakuya said honestly.

"Don't explode, you have to repair it if it explodes." Although I don't know if the earth can be repaired after it explodes... Forget it, it's fine if it explodes.Fushimi stood up, "Let's go to patrol." He glanced outside the window, the weather was a bit gloomy, but the weather forecast said that there would be no rain today, so there should be no need to bring an umbrella.

Sakuya grabbed his saber and followed Fushimi: "Here we come!"

Walking behind Fushimi, Sakuya looked around, and said to Fushimi: "Recently nothing happened, even during the patrol, no suspicious incidents were encountered. Sure enough, no one is willing to come out during the rainy season. Right? By the way, Senior Fushimi, the previous pet store incident, the owner involved in the case hasn’t been caught yet?”

"No." I don't know if it was affected by the weather, Fushimi's expression was also a little gloomy, but he still answered Sakuya's question, "The intelligence department is still investigating this matter, but it has been a long time, and there are other This case can only be temporarily shelved."

"It can't be helped," Sakuya sighed, and then took out his terminal from his pocket, "Speaking of which, I received a message yesterday." She found the message and showed it to Fushimi , "It's from a stranger."

Fushimi took Sakuya's terminal and read the contents of the message.

"Hello, I'm in some trouble, can you help me? You're from sceter4, right?"

Fushimi asked inexplicably: "Who is this? Ask someone for help and don't even tell who you are?"

Sakuya scratched his head: "I don't know, I asked who she was, but she didn't call me back, and I called and found out that it was a virtual number. E... It feels like the other party doesn't want me to know that she is Who, but sent me a distress signal."

Fushimi returned the terminal to Sakuya, and said casually as he walked forward: "Probably someone was playing a prank."

"I don't think it's very likely," Sakuya disagreed with Fushimi's statement, "The terminal I use for work is known only to the colleagues of sceter4, and only the outsiders under my management know. I think it should be one of them. One, but I don’t know who it is. I plan to go back from patrol today and ask one by one to see who has encountered any difficulties.” Outsiders managed by sceter4 also have the right to apply to sceter4 for assistance when encountering difficulties.

"Huh?" The corners of Fushimi's mouth twitched slightly, "I said, there are more than 100 outliers under your management now? Do you want to ask everyone?"

Sakuya said baldly: "I also know that this is the stupidest way, but there is no better way."

Fushimi sighed, and said to Sakuya: "Give me your terminal when you go back, and I will help you. Forget about this, hurry up and patrol." He tugged at his collar and said a little irritably, "This weather is really annoying. It's stuffy and hot." There was a faint itching on the left collarbone, and Fushimi habitually stretched out his hand to scratch it a few times.

Even more irritable.He walked forward with a sullen head, and thought of resigning when he thought that summer was about to enter and the dormitory did not have air conditioning.

Sakuya was thinking, it's almost July, I don't know if sceter4 has a high temperature subsidy, so I can buy a few more popsicles to eat.Seeing that Fushimi had gone far away, Sakuya hurriedly chased after him: "Well, Senior Fushimi, if you are agitated, it will get hotter, and you will naturally cool down when you are calm."

"Tsk!"

Today's patrol came to an end shortly as there were no incidents.When returning to the settlement, Sakuya received a call from Munakata, asking her if it was convenient for her to help her pick up something.

How inconvenient is the order of the immediate superior, of course Sakuya agreed without thinking.Munakata thanked happily, and then sent Sakuya an address after hanging up the phone.

"Why did the chief want you?" Fushimi asked casually.

Sakuya entered the address in the terminal to find the route and replied: "Let me pick up something for him along the way." The terminal quickly matched the best route from here to the address that Munakata said, and then to the settlement. At the corner in the middle, Sakuya said in a difficult tone, "Master, maybe there is some misunderstanding about 'Shun Lu'..."

Fushimi said nonchalantly, "He said he was on the way, so he was on the way."

Seeing that Fushimi was about to leave, Sakuya hurriedly stopped him: "Please wait, Senior Fushimi!" She called up the screen projection mode, zoomed in and pointed at the destination and said, "Well, after the real-time map positioning, this location is A...toy store, that, did the manager give me the wrong address?"

"That's right," Fushimi pushed his glasses, and said to Sakuya as if recalling some unbearable past, "Everyone in the secret service team knows that toy store, and now it's your turn."

Sakuya's heart skipped a beat, and he asked fearfully, "Why do I feel like this is a cursed place...Well, is there anything special about this store?"

Fushimi seemed to know the route so well, he didn't even need to follow the map to know how to get there.He said: "If you think about the hobbies of the director, and then think that it is a toy store, you should know what the director asked you to get."

"……puzzle."

"You're not stupid."

Thinking of puzzles, Sakuya wanted to die.When I went to Munakata's office to report to work last time, I happened to see him putting together a jigsaw puzzle of his ID photo.Seeing Sakuya going in, Munakata did not shy away from it, and even said happily: "I saw the second Nanase-kun." During the whole process of reporting work, Sakuya was in a state of blindness, and when he returned to the intelligence room, his face was full of despair I went to grow mushrooms in the corner.

After walking for a while, Fushimi suddenly stopped and said to Sakuya, "Go by yourself."

"Ah?" Sakuya was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Fushimi's arm and asked weepingly, "Senior Fushimi, do you want me to face the blast by myself?"

"It would be nice to face this kind of thing a few more times." Fushimi ruthlessly opened Sakuya's fingers, "You go, I'll wait for you here."

Sakuya looked around, and then asked wonderingly: "Why are you here, wouldn't it be fine if Senior Fushimi didn't go in?"

Fushimi pointed to the convenience store next to him: "I'm going to buy popsicles."

"Then I want honeydew melon flavor."

"All right."

Fushimi gave Sakuya an "ok" gesture, and then waved her hand to signal her to go quickly. After she left, Fushimi turned expressionlessly and walked in the opposite direction to the convenience store.He didn't know why, he never had this kind of thought when he passed by here before, but today he wanted to go and have a look.

His former home.

No, it should be said, the house where I once lived.

The toy store was not far from the place where Sakuya and Fushimi separated. She followed the map and quickly found the store.The door was open, and there was still a transparent wind chime hanging on the door, but there was no wind now, so it hung there quietly, motionless.A fat-looking beckoning cat was drawn on it, and Sakuya couldn't help reaching out to touch the wind chime.Under the action of external force, the wind chime shook and made a crisp sound.

The boss sitting behind the cashier heard a voice, so he looked up and saw a girl in a blue uniform standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Welcome."

The owner is a grandfather who looks about 60 years old. He has a gentle attitude and a very friendly tone. Sakuya said politely: "

Hello, I'm here to help Mr. Reiji Munakata fetch things. "

"I can tell by looking at your uniform." The old man took off his reading glasses and came out from behind the counter with a big box in his hand, "Minister Munakata called me and said there would be a small The girl came to fetch something."

"Yeah, it's me." Sakuya took the paper bag with both hands, feeling that the paper bag seemed a bit heavy, and it didn't seem like a puzzle.She asked curiously, "May I ask what's in it? Isn't it a puzzle?"

"There are puzzles," the shopkeeper nodded, and said, "Your room manager orders puzzles from me every time. Oh, the pattern is weird. It's always a picture of some people."

You've been complained about, Chief.

After staring at Sakuya for a while, the shop owner stroked his beard and said, "I remember the last time he came to order, the photo he gave me seemed to be you, right?"

Sakuya quickly reached out to cover his face: "It's not me, it's not me, you're mistaken!"

"Wait." The shopkeeper returned to the back of the counter, found the photo that Munakata had sent him from the computer, and after looking at Sakuya for a long time, he said, "It's you! Oh, I still want to say, before It’s fine if they’re all young men, why don’t they even let off little girls.”

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Swallowing his saliva, Sakuya asked nervously: "Well, may I ask, what kind of puzzle did our room chief make this time?" I have done all the ID photos, and I don't know what else Munakata can do.

The shop owner quickly found the picture that Munakata sent last time from the computer, which is the pattern of the puzzle this time. With just one glance, Sakuya felt that he was going to faint.

It turned out to be a photo of all the members drawing their swords!It's the photo of them drawing swords at Xiongying High School last month!The memory she tried so hard to forget was abruptly brought back to life by this photo.

Curiosity killed the cat, and today she is the cat that was killed.

The head of the room is a ruthless person.

Rubbing his forehead tiredly, Sakuya said weakly: "This weight doesn't seem to be the weight that a puzzle should have, right? Is there anything else in it?"

"Yes, it's a set of toys that Munakata asked me to order," the shopkeeper replied. "He said his nephew is going to have a birthday soon and he wants to give him a gift, so he asked me to order it for him. It's a bit hard to find, so It took me a while, but I found it yesterday. Mr. Munakata often takes care of my business, so I gave him a gadget, hahaha."

Sakuya opened the bag and took a look, and there was indeed a well-packed square box inside, which looked quite small.She bowed to the shopkeeper: "Thank you very much, I will tell the manager when I get back. Then I will not bother you, goodbye."

"Walk slowly."

Walking out of the toy store, Sakuya walked towards the place where he was separated from Fushimi, and at the same time thought: The chief also has a nephew... I don't know what it feels like to be the nephew of a person with such a bad taste as the chief... …

However, he will buy toys for his nephew as a gift, the head of the office should be a good uncle, right?

Forget it, never mind.Popsicle, here I come--

Looking blankly at the magnificent building in front of him, Fushimi unexpectedly found that his mood was unexpectedly calm.There is no nostalgia, no pain, and no disgust, as if the ten years I have lived here no longer exist.He tried his best to recall what happened the last time he came back here - at that time he was still in Barbara, Kusanagi took him to sceter4, passed by here when he came back, and he saw the hallucination of that man.

That man named Fushimi Renxi.

This time there is nothing, nothing, the building in front of me is just an empty shell, the woman probably won't come back, the inside may be covered with dust and cobwebs, it is obviously a luxurious villa, but it is no longer liveable.

Slightly narrowing his eyes with a gloomy expression, Fushimi thought a little self-deprecatingly why he wanted to come here all of a sudden.Standing there for a while, guessing that Sakuya should have almost returned, Fushimi withdrew his gaze and turned to prepare

Prepared to go back, but heard the sound of "squeak" - the door opened.

His eyes widened incredulously, and Fushimi's feet seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move, until a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind: "Saru Hiko?" There was hesitation and hesitation in that voice, as if he was also Not sure if it was him.

Fushimi quickly adjusted his mentality, turned around and looked at the other party expressionlessly: "Why are you here?"

"Should I ask you this?" Fushimi Muzuo looked at his son arrogantly, "It's been a long time since you saw your mother. Is there only such a cold sentence when you see your mother?"

Fushimi smiled mockingly: "It doesn't seem suitable for the two of us to greet each other."

The muscles on Muzuo's face twitched slightly, but the distance was a little far away, so Fushimi didn't see it.She closed the door, adjusted her expression slightly, and her tone became calmer: "I'll come back to get something."

"Is there anything else you need here?" Fushimi's tone was still full of sarcasm, "I thought you took away all the things you needed ten years ago."

Mu Zuo frowned slightly, but did not refute Fushimi's words, but asked, "What about you, what are you doing here again?"

Fushimi looked around and said casually: "Patrolling here, just drop by to have a look." When he looked to the left, he found a black car parked on the side of the road.He was familiar with the license plate number, and he knew it was Muzuo's car.He couldn't help being a little annoyed, because he parked a little far away, so he didn't notice the car when he came over, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have come over.

The mother and son looked at each other silently for a while, but in the end Fushimi couldn't bear the stalemate atmosphere, and left the sentence "I'll go first" before leaving.After hesitating for a while, Muzuo proposed: "You want to go back to the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau? I'll take you there, anyway, it's very close."

"Anyway, it's very close, so I won't bother you." Fushimi rejected Muzuo's proposal directly, "Besides, I have a colleague."

Just as he was talking, Fushimi heard a familiar voice calling him: "Senior Fushimi? Are you here? Strange, where did you go?" After speaking, Fushimi appeared in his sight Sakuya's figure, she was holding something in one hand and a terminal in the other, and she was still looking around. Soon, she saw Fushimi, and then trotted towards him. After getting closer, she realized that there was a person standing next to him Miss.

The other party is slender and elegant, with exquisite makeup and hair, wearing a suit and high heels, exuding an aura of a strong woman from all over her body.

...the atmosphere between these two people is not right.Keenly aware of this, Sakuya greeted the other party carefully and politely: "Hello."

Seeing Sakuya wearing the same uniform as Fushimi, Mu Zuo knew that she should be the "colleague together" that Fushimi said.She responded politely and distantly to Sakuya's greeting: "Hello." She looked at Fushimi, "Is your new colleague?"

Fushimi narrowed his eyes: "How do you know she's new here?"

"That," Sakuya raised his hand, "I've been here for more than two months, so I'm not considered a newcomer."

"That's not important." Suppressing the irritability in his heart, Fushimi regretted coming here, but he didn't expect to meet Muzuo here.He said, "My colleague has come, we are leaving." After speaking, he turned and left.Sakuya also wanted to leave this suffocating place quickly, so she hurriedly followed Fushimi's pace.

Mu Zuo asked sharply from behind: "Don't you even say goodbye? I don't remember teaching you to be so uneducated."

Fushimi stopped, turned his head slightly, and asked sarcastically, "Have you taught me anything?" The corners of his mouth curled into a nasty arc, "You may not even know that when I was in middle school Have you ever been a punk?"

He is a child who is not liked by his parents, and his parents know nothing about him.

"You—" Mu Zuo choked, but he couldn't refute.Just when she was in a daze, Fushimi had already left with Sakuya.
