We who can't be heroes [Comprehensive]

On the way to the intelligence room together, Akiyama suddenly said to Sakuya: "By the way, once before, your father came to sceter4 to look for you, but unfortunately, you and Mr. Fushimi just went to Yokohama." He laughed He smiled, "Benzai happened to be there that time, and he said he told you."

"Well." Sakuya nodded, "Yes, Mr. Benzai told me, I already know."

"You and Fushimi-san are really similar people," Akiyama said with a sigh, "even the fact that you have conflicts with your family members. Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

Sakuya hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, it's okay, Mr. Akiyama, don't worry." Why do people in the secret service think she looks like Fushimi?That's what Benzai said last time, and it's really scary.

Akiyama smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Sakuya's shoulder, did not ask too much, and did not say any comforting words to her, some just said: "Be yourself."

It's just a simple action and a simple sentence, but it already contains Akiyama's full understanding and support for Sakuya.

Moved by Akiyama's actions, Sakuya's heart warmed, and he nodded heavily: "Well, I see."

Although he knew in his heart that he was still working, Sakuya's mood was inevitably affected.When she was outside, she was able to maintain a calm state because of other people. Now that she can stay by herself, she starts to get upset.Therefore, after returning to the intelligence room, she looked calm on the surface, writing the report in front of the computer without saying a word, and handed it to Fushimi silently after finishing writing, and then returned to her station in a daze .

Sensing that something was wrong with Sakuya, Fushimi asked casually, "What's wrong?"

But did not get an answer.

Fushimi raised his head in confusion, and saw that Sakuya had returned to his work station, sitting in a chair in a daze, Hidaka called her as if he didn't hear her.

What happened?Awashima, who went to the Metropolitan Police Department with Sakuya, is not in the intelligence room, Domyoji and Goto have not returned from the interrogation room, and Akiyama, who went with her, is also discussing some headquarters affairs adjustments with Benzai , so no one can answer Fushimi's doubts.

"Tsk." Smacking his tongue a little irritably, Fushimi first put aside the report handed in by Sakuya, and started to read it after finishing the work at hand.Just after opening it and taking a look, Fushimi realized that something was really wrong with Sakuya.This report is written in a mess of typos, and the format is wrong. This kind of low-level mistake is not something that Sakuya would make.Obviously, the person who wrote the report was quite absent-minded when he wrote it.Fushimi looked up at Sakuya, and found that she was still in the same posture when she went back, in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.Frowning, Fushimi called Sakuya, "Hey, Nanase—"

It's past the off-duty time, and today is a day when there is no need to work overtime, so there is basically no one in the intelligence room, except for Fushimi and Sakuya, only Akiyama and Benzai are left.

Failed to call Sakuya back to his senses, Fushimi was about to call out again, but Akiyama spoke.He said to Fushimi in a negotiating tone: "Well, Mr. Fushimi, if possible, let Nanase calm down first."

This sentence is obviously telling Fushimi that something happened today.Fushimi squinted his eyes, said "Got it" and started to revise Sakuya's report.Without raising his head, he said to Akiyama and Benzai, "You two get off work first."

Benzai still hesitated, but Akiyama gave him a hand, shook his head slightly at him and said to Fushimi: "Understood, Mr. Fushimi." He glanced at Sakuya, and then said to Benzai , "Let's go."

The two left the intelligence room, and after closing the door softly, they breathed a sigh of relief.Benzai asked with some concern: "Is it really okay to keep those two people inside?"

"It's okay," Akiyama said calmly, "Mr. Fushimi is not a character who asks too much about other people's private affairs, Nanase is just thinking about things, and the two of them will not disturb each other, don't worry. "

After thinking about it, Benzai could only nod, although he was helpless: "Well, you are right. Speaking of which, what happened to Nanase? Did something happen to you at the Metropolitan Police Department? Why did Daomingji and Goto Does it look all right?"

After thinking for a while, Akiyama said to Benzai: "Nanase's father also went to the Metropolitan Police Department today, but the two of them haven't seen each other."

As one of the people who knew that the relationship between Sakuya and his family was not harmonious, when Akiyama said this, Benzai could understand why Sakuya would be so abnormal after returning.He sighed: "Oh, I don't know why she broke up with the family. Don't you think she looks like a child who ran away from home during the rebellious period?"

Akiyama laughed a little: "If you want to say that, isn't the other one inside?"

Benzai pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well, maybe this is the generation gap? After all, they are still underage, and we are almost [-] generations old."

"Hey, hello," Akiyama protested against Benzai's statement, "Should we still be in our twenties? Don't add age to yourself casually. But it is also a minor, and Daomingji is much simpler in this regard. Then The kid shouldn't have passed the rebellious period, right?"

Benzai couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid he was kicked into sceter4 by his father before he entered the rebellious period. Well, let's not talk about them, let's go back quickly."

"okay."

Sakuya didn't know how long she had been in a daze, she felt as if she had thought about a lot of things, but she didn't seem to think about anything, and when she came back to her senses, her mind was blank.She sighed and looked up to see that the intelligence room was empty.

"Huh?" She uttered a questioning tone in a daze, and then heard a lazy voice asking herself, "Are you done in a daze?"

Sakuya tentatively called out: "Mr. Fushimi?"

A head popped out from behind the computer, and Fumian asked gloomyly: "Otherwise, who do you think?" He got up and walked to Sakuya, and put the revised report in front of her, "I have given you Change it, write a new one for me when I go to work tomorrow, and get off work today."

Sakuya opened the report he submitted earlier with a dazed face, and after reading it, he was even more confused: "Ah..." She looked at Fushimi with a tangled expression, "Is this the report I handed in before?"

Fushimi pointed to the lower right corner of the report: "Look at the name."

Nanase Saki... good.

Even the word "liang" was circled by Fushimi, and "night" was added with a black marker pen next to it.

Biting her lip, Sakuya said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Fushimi is so serious, he even changed the name for me."

The corners of Fushimi's mouth twitched slightly: "Is it time to praise me for being serious?" He pointed to the name, his eyes staring at Sakuya through the lens, "Is this your sister's name? I'm so in a trance that I'm reporting Your sister's name is written on it, did something happen when you went to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Because Fushimi knew his affairs, Sakuya felt that there was no need to hide him.She silently obliterated the wrong name, re-wrote her own name, and breathed a sigh of relief. She adjusted her emotions and tried to sound as calm as possible: "This afternoon, my father is also in the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Your father?" Fushimi raised his eyebrows, "Have you seen it?" Even if you saw it, it was just a meeting, so the reaction doesn't have to be so strong, right?

Sakuya shook her head: "No." She raised her head and looked at Fushimi, "It was Officer Takagi who said it. Although I heard that Mr. Nanase came to the Metropolitan Police Department today, I was I thought it was a coincidence, but I wasn't sure it was my father, because there are many people with this surname. But then he said that he came here because of a kidnapping case seven years ago, and he also mentioned my father's name, I'm sure."

"The kidnapping case seven years ago, wasn't it..."

"Ah."

Fushimi didn't finish, but Sakuya nodded.She said softly: "It's the kidnapping case of my sister and me. He said, it seems that because

Because a new clue finally appeared, so I invited my father over.I originally wanted to go to Police Officer Mumu, but..." She smiled wryly, "I thought it would be useless to go there, so I gave up. "

"This way..." No wonder she behaved so abnormally after she came back.

The elder sister who has been missing for many years suddenly has a clue, but it is not known whether the clue is useful or not. The whereabouts of the elder sister is still a mystery.Fushimi didn't know what kind of mood Sakuya was in now, but he guessed that her heart should be full of hope and despair now. Under the influence of this struggling and contradictory mood, it is normal to behave strangely.

"Well, forget it." Sakuya breathed out, tried to smile at Fushimi relaxedly, and then turned off the computer, "Mr. Fushimi just said that the report will be revised and handed over to you at work tomorrow, right Right? Then let's get off work."

Sighing, Fushimi pushed his glasses, and replied in a calm tone: "Well, let's get off work." He returned to his workstation and turned off the computer, and then walked out of the intelligence room with Sakuya.

When walking out, because Sakuya had been silent, Fushimi didn't say anything.When walking out of the garrison, Sakuya suddenly asked Fushimi: "Mr. Fushimi, do you think sceter4 is a better place than Barbara?"

"Huh?" Fushimi looked at Sakuya inexplicably, "Why did you suddenly ask such a question without thinking?"

Sakuya replied seriously: "Because I have always felt that Barbara and Sceter4 are two opposing organizations, just like fire and ice. The contrast is very sharp. Barbara is a person who will always talk about clans and fetters. Is it a hot-blooded organization on the Internet? Compared with them, although we are also the clan head of the Blue King, and we also have bonds with each other, we don’t always mention it, it seems very shallow. Compared with them, we Always maintain a sense of distance that does not disturb each other and makes each other feel comfortable."

"Well, yes," Fushimi looked sideways at Sakuya, "Isn't this very good? Don't you know it yourself, sceter4 is a place where you just need to do your own thing."

"However, I understand today, but asking, is actually a kind of gentle and caring way." Sakuya said solemnly, "Mr. Akiyama and Mr. Benzai also know something about the things that I have a bad relationship with my family. Even today When I was in the Metropolitan Police Department, Mr. Akiyama also knew about my kidnapping seven years ago. But they didn’t ask me, and they didn’t care too much. Some just supported and understood. So I think, this should be everyone in sceter4 A gentle way, right?" She turned her head to look at Fushimi, "So, in sceter4, which is completely different from Barbara, does Mr. Fushimi feel better?"

"Tsk, can you say something good?" Fushimi shifted his gaze to the other side, "Anyway, it's just a transfer from a bad place to a slightly less bad place where you can barely stay. If you have to say something -"

"Both places are bad?" Sakuya tilted his head and asked tentatively.

Fu met and looked at Sakuya expressionlessly: "Don't rush to answer."

"Yes." Sakuya nodded solemnly and replied.It was exactly as she had thought before.However, with Fushimi's personality, he is more suitable for sceter4, right?

When he walked downstairs to Qingyunliao boys' dormitory, Sakuya made a "stop" gesture and said to Fushimi: "Let's separate here, Mr. Fushimi, the previous few times were at night, thank you very much for accompanying me Go downstairs to the girls' dormitory, but it's not dark yet, so it's fine to come here."

"It's not to accompany you back, it's just that I accidentally passed by."

"...I'm sorry, I'm being too sentimental."

Fushimi-san, you really are a very awkward person.

And Fushimi, who separated from Sakuya and returned to the boys' dormitory alone, also thought about this question for the first time since joining sceter4: Is sceter4 a better place than Barbara?

probably.After joining Barbara, except for the first few days, he thought about leaving almost every day.but join sce

ter4 Up to now, he has not had the idea of ​​leaving. He even began to feel that leaving behind the arrogant boss, annoying seniors, incompetent subordinates, endless overtime, and the matcha and red bean paste that he has to face from time to time, sceter4 seems to be a good place.

If I have to say it, sceter4 is a place that gave him a little sense of belonging.

Walking into the dormitory building, Sakuya patted his face, trying to cheer himself up, and suddenly heard Yoshino calling himself: "Ah, Sakuya, you are off work."

As soon as Sakuya turned around, he saw Yoshino, who had changed into casual clothes, walking over with a cardboard box in his arms.She turned around and looked at the storage box behind her, and then said to Sakuya: "You have a courier, but it looks... so big." Yoshino's expression has fully demonstrated that the courier is too big to be exaggerated.

"Ah——" Sakuya suddenly remembered that her grandfather called her a few days ago and said that she had sent her something, so it should be about the time of day.And in this season, most of the things sent are...

"What is this?" Yoshino couldn't help but exclaimed as he stood behind Sakuya Shinobu and looked at the six round and spherical objects tightly wrapped in the box.

"It's a melon." Sakuya sighed, and said to Yoshino, "It's a honeydew melon, my grandfather sent it to me." She took out her personal terminal and looked at it , Sure enough, there was a message from the courier company, but she turned on mute today, so she didn't know.

Yoshino blinked: "It turned out to be a melon?" She looked at the express note on the box and found that the place of delivery was Shizuoka, so she exclaimed again, "This! It won't be very expensive. The place of origin is Honeydew melon from Shizuoka, right?"

Sakuya blinked: "Is it expensive? I don't know, my grandfather planted it himself."

"Eh? Is your grandfather a fruit farmer?" Yoshino asked curiously.

Sakuya tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying: "That's right. My grandfather felt bored after he retired, so he went to Shizuoka to build a melon field and grow melons. I also studied in Shizuoka before."

"Oh——" Yoshino suddenly realized, always feeling that Sakuya said something shocking in a very light tone.She tapped it again, and it was indeed six melons.This kind of melon is placed in the store and passed by it countless times. Maybe Yoshino couldn't bear to buy one, but now there are six in front of her... She said blankly, "Sakuya, what did your grandfather give you?" You have so many melons..."

"Hey," Sakuya nodded, "Because he knows that I'm working in sceter4, he should want me to share it with my colleagues. Wait in my room and eat melon." After she finished speaking, she was surprised by Yoshino, Lifted the box with bare hands.

Yoshino was dumbfounded: "Saki, Sakuya, is it okay for you to move alone?"

"It's not a big problem, but I may need you to open the door for me later." She turned the right side of her body to Yoshino, "the key is here."

"Oh, good." Yoshino quickly took out the key of her room from Sakuya's pocket, and walked in front.She said worriedly, "Otherwise, why don't I help you?"

"It's okay," Sakuya raised his chin, "don't worry about me, just go and open the door for me."

"Ok!"

Yoshino rushed back to her room ahead of Sakuya and opened the door for her first, Sakuya then went in, put the box containing six honeydew melons on the table, and fanned the wind with his hands: "Ah, okay hot--"

Awashima next door heard the movement, so he walked out of his room and walked towards Sakuya. When he was almost there, he asked, "Nanase? You just came back? Don't you have to work overtime today?" When walking outside the door , Awashima saw that Sakuya was panting while leaning against the table, and Yoshino was also in Sakuya's room, holding a box in his hand.

Seeing Awashima coming, Yoshino greeted her: "Miss Awashima, are you here?"

Awashima asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Sakuya pointed to the box next to him and replied: "My grandfather sent me six

Gua, just when I came back, I ran into Yayoi, so I asked her to open the door for me. She breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Awashima and Yoshino after feeling a little relieved, "Let's go to Chagua together." "

"Eh? Well, good." Awashima was still a little dazed, watching Sakuya quickly peel off the foam paper wrapped around the melon for protection, and asked with a puzzled face, "Nanase, is your grandfather Guaron?"

Yoshino opened his eyes wide and looked at Awashima: "Miss Awashima, you asked the same question as me!"

"After all, six were sent at once..." Awashima looked at the melon, then at Sakuya, and said, "Take a bath and change your clothes first, I happen to be cooking soup, go to my place tonight Let's eat."

"Ah, good," Sakuya nodded, "Then I'll take a shower first, and I just left for work today, and I feel a little sticky on my body."

Invited by Awashima to have dinner with her, Yoshino also said happily: "Then I'll go back and put down the courier, and I'll go directly to Awashima-san later."

"Well, go." Awashima waved at Yoshino, and waited until she left before asking Sakuya, "Nanase, are you okay?"

Sakuya just took off her uniform and hung it up. When Awashima asked, she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Why are you asking me that?"

"Because you don't look well," Awashima walked over and took Sakuya's hand, "When I came out of the Metropolitan Police Department this afternoon, I felt that your mood was not right, although you concealed it very well, but I still found out. Did something happen in the Metropolitan Police Department?" She smiled at Sakuya and said, "If you want to say something, you can tell me, if you don't want to say it, I just ask. Although we are in sceter4 It's a subordinate, you are more like my sister when you get along in private, but I won't interfere too much in your private affairs."

Holding Awashima's hand instead, Sakuya couldn't help laughing: "It's really gentle, whether it's the deputy chief, or other colleagues in the secret service team. I told Senior Fushimi when I came back from work, but it's okay to ask. The members of the Blue Clan have a unique gentle way." She said, "I told the deputy chief before, I have experienced a kidnapping incident, and my sister's whereabouts are unknown in that incident. Because of this incident, I and The family relationship is now also very deadlocked."

Awashima listened intently, without interrupting Sakuya's words.

"At the Metropolitan Police Department today, I learned from Officer Takagi that my father is actually in the Metropolitan Police Department today. The reason is that there are new clues to the kidnapping case seven years ago." Sakuya lowered his head, "I originally wanted to I went to Police Officer Megure to find out the situation, but after thinking about it, I gave up."

Awashima tentatively asked: "Are you afraid that this clue will make you hopeful, but the result will disappoint you?"

"Well." Sakuya nodded, "Maybe, deep down in my heart, I don't want them to continue investigating this case, so I can comfort myself, no news is good news, my sister may live somewhere in the world It's very good, but she can't contact us. But I hope they can find my sister back." She looked up at Awashima, her eyes were a little red.

"I really, really miss her."

Even just once, she still wants to see her sister again and say sorry to her.

Sorry for not being able to protect you.
