Did I fall off the horse with Touzi today?

Toru Amuro followed Shane to her room to get tea.

Shane's suitcase is a classic white leather suitcase, Toru Amuro once saw it in an early British mystery movie, and there is a change of clothes for Shane in the suitcase.

Even if the two are lovers, Toru Amuro didn't dare to take a closer look at what was in the suitcase. He leaned against the door frame of Shana's room and watched from a distance as Shane quickly took out a rectangular tea pot from inside. He closed the suitcase and returned to his side.

The tea caddy is made of metal, about one 拃 high, with complex and classic patterns on the white paint. If you look carefully, you can see the name of the tea contained in it written on one side of the box.

— Good night tea.

It is indeed suitable to drink at this time.

It is also suitable for scaring Mao Lilan who has just been frightened by Osamu Dazai.

"This is a new tea I just bought a while ago."

As if realizing that Amuro's eyes were on the tea pot in his hand, Shane stretched out the pot in front of him and shook it gently, and Amuro could hear the rustling sound from this beautifully designed pot.

Xia Nai looked as if nothing had happened, and introduced the new box of tea to Amuro Toru without any suspicion, "It contains passion fruit, chamomile, cardamom and cinnamon, and it is said to be a yoga tea for calming the nerves." , does not contain □□, suitable for drinking before going to bed."

Amuro looked at his girlfriend's side face, and suddenly felt that they had returned to the time when their relationship hadn't had any cracks not long ago——

At that time, Shana didn't find out about his job, and he didn't realize that Shane had contacts with the port Mafia.Xia Nai only thinks that he is an ordinary coffee shop clerk, and he only thinks that his girlfriend is a clerical employee of a small company whose monthly performance is in jeopardy.

But at that time their relationship was very good.

Although they don't call each other and send text messages every day, just like Xia Nai introduces the newly bought tea in her hand, she will tell herself any interesting things in her life—or in the text messages, Or on a date.

And what about him?

Every time I come up with a new menu, I think about whether Nana will like this taste, and when the new menu is successful, I think that I must make one for her next time I meet Nana.

Occasionally he also fails, but at that time he will be thankful that Nana is not at home and will not see his failed works.

Toru Amuro still wanted to go back to that time in his heart.

Even if he knows that the nature and background of Xia Nai's work will be exposed at this time, it is far better than him submitting a marriage application to his superiors, and even being exposed after officially marrying Nana.

Even though he knows that if he has a girlfriend who has connections with the black industry, it will have a huge impact on his work.

Even though he knew that for the sake of his official career, he should have separated from his girlfriend with an "innocent" background earlier, and even accepted the blind date arranged by his boss...

Toru Amuro never thought of breaking up with Shana.

He didn't know if Shana had the same thoughts as him, but looking at Shana's expression now, Toru Amuro felt that the thoughts in her heart were probably similar to his own.

Toru Amuro listened quietly to Shana's description, and suddenly asked a question that he was quite concerned about now:

"Nai Nai, haven't you slept well recently?"

"..."

Xia Nai's expression suddenly froze because of her boyfriend's question, and she stopped abruptly even talking about how effective this calming tea is.Those turquoise eyes took a deep look at Toru Amuro, and then Shana suddenly looked away.

"It's not that I didn't sleep well."

Her voice suddenly softened a lot, and she lost all the vitality just now, as if she didn't want to bring up this topic at all, "It's just that there are a lot of things to deal with recently, and I can't sleep at night, but they are stared at by Zhongye and they are not allowed to stay up late. I'm not allowed to take medicine either..."

Toru Amuro, who has been working a lot lately, immediately heard the subtext of his girlfriend——

She has too much work recently, not enough time at all, and her spirit is very excited because of work.She originally wanted to take the opportunity to stay up late and work overtime to catch up with work, but Nakahara Chuya and the others didn't allow it, so she could only drink calming tea before going to bed to let herself have a good sleep.

Amuro breathed a sigh of relief, "Soothing tea is always better than sleeping pills."

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't sleep, I wouldn't take sleeping pills. I accidentally took Dazai's before..."

Xia Nai seemed to realize something, and she stopped talking before she finished speaking. She looked up at Toru Amuro again, but saw Toru Amuro's expression didn't seem to change even when she heard her mention Osamu Dazai.

So Xia Nai didn't continue talking, and the two of them had already arrived at the kitchen at this time. The kitchen was brightly lit and the counter was clean and tidy, but there was no one inside.

Natsuna and Toru Amuro could only make tea by themselves.

Fortunately, both of them are proficient in housework, and Toru Amuro works part-time in a coffee shop. One boils water and the other cleans cups, and they cooperate very well.

Amuro, who was cleaning the teacup and teapot, glanced at Shana who was waiting for the water to boil, and suddenly thought of what would happen if they lived together in the future——

Given how busy he is, he probably won't be able to make tea for Xia Nai every day.

But as long as Xia Nai wants to drink black tea, he will definitely be able to show the level of a coffee shop clerk, and prepare a pot of black tea with a moderate temperature and full color and aroma for Xia Nai who likes to drink tea.

"I don't know if Munakata-san and Mr. Bailan want to drink it, but prepare a cup for them."

Xia Nai reopened a topic, she counted the number of cups that needed to be prepared, and said to Amuro Toru, "But there is no need to prepare for Dazai and Chuya, they don't like to drink this."

At this moment, Toru Amuro has already cleaned the teacup with skillful movements, and only needs to dry it.

Hearing his girlfriend mentioned those two people again, his expression didn't change, he just wiped his hands slowly, and then asked in a quiet tone:

"Nai Nai is very familiar with them? Sure enough, they have known each other for a long time, right?"

When Xia Nai asked about his work, he also asked Xia Nai what kind of relationship Chuya Nakahara had with her.

At that time, Xia Nai's answer was: "Zhong is also my current partner and my family."

Toru Amuro accepted this answer at the time, but just looking at how Natsuna got along with Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai today, he always felt that the relationship between these three people was extraordinary.

"We've known each other for over ten years."

Just when Toru Amuro thought that Shana would not answer, or just prevaricate, he didn't expect that Shana actually gave the answer.

She pulled out a chair casually and sat down, her eyes stayed on the kettle for a while, and then she looked at Toru Amuro.Toru Amuro knew that his girlfriend was planning to reveal his relationship with the two of them to him, so he hesitated again and again, but still couldn't resist his curiosity...

And vaguely jealous.

So he also found a seat and sat down, while picking up Xia Nai's words, "Calculate the time, did you know each other from middle school or high school?"

"We were only 12 years old that year."

Xia Nai lowered her eyes and looked at the white floor tiles under her feet, "I don't know if you have heard of it. There was a catastrophe in Kanagawa Prefecture 12 years ago, and we met at that time."

12 years ago, Kanagawa suffered a catastrophe.

Toru Amuro immediately remembered the conversation between Mori Kogoro and Mr. Suzukawa this afternoon.

"Could it be Kagudu..."

"Yes."

Toru Amuro was suffocated, he and Shana had been dating for nearly two years, but he had never heard that Shana was actually a survivor of the catastrophe that year.

In fact, not only Mori Kogoro, who had just entered the Metropolitan Police Department, had a deep impression of that incident, but Toru Amuro also had a deep memory of the Kagutsu incident.

He clearly remembered that he was in the third year of high school that year, and he happened to stay at Fa Xiaojingguang's house on the night when the incident happened. The two were reviewing for the upcoming final exam, and by the way, they were discussing where they would go after graduation.

When he learned of the accident in Kanagawa, Jing Guang happened to go downstairs to pour tea. He picked up his mobile phone to check the weather tomorrow, but saw an alarm popping up suddenly.

"We met Dazai in the ruins."

Probably recalling the painful past, Xia Nai's voice sounded a little muffled, "The place where he is located is not the central area of ​​the crater, but the surrounding houses were still affected, and there were many other victims. , the scene at that time... was not very pretty."

Shane's statement is still very euphemistic.

At that time, Amuro Toru, who had been paying attention to the news reports with Jingguang, could hear the part that Shana did not say. He remembered that it was mentioned in the news at that time that the death toll of this incident was about 70, and most of the victims As the land of Kanagawa was wiped out, there were no bones left.

And the victims around were even more unlucky. Many people were affected by the airflow from the falling meteorite, and many people were crushed in the ruins...

The scene was like hell on earth.

Toru Amuro knew that Shana and the others should be Osamu Dazai they met in the pile of dead people.

"Actually, the crater is still some distance away from my residence, and I and Zhong couldn't be involved. Fortunately, I didn't suffer too serious injuries."

Xia Nai gave a wry smile, "Dazai was the only living person we met in the ruins. After learning that he was badly injured and knowing that he had no other relatives, I sent him to the doctor for treatment, and then brought him back. Home."

Kanagawa Prefecture had a lot of big and small problems because of the Kaguto incident, and it was not particularly noticeable at that time that Shana's family took in an orphan.

but……

"Is the doctor you mentioned the Dr. Sen I saw last time?"

Shana nodded, and finally raised her head to look at Toru Amuro, her eyes looked red, although she didn't cry, but Toru Amuro knew that she was not feeling well.

"Dr. Sen was running a private clinic at that time, and Zhongye and I sometimes went to him for help when we were injured."

Xia Nai thought for a while, and added some details, "However, it was still early for us to send Dazai there. After he finished bandaging Dazai, people came over one after another."

Toru Amuro could guess what was going on, "I remember that the medical system in Kanagawa Prefecture and several nearby counties were paralyzed for a while."

"However, within a few years Dazai was taken away by Dr. Mori, and later... oh."

Shana sighed, Toru Amuro wanted to ask something, when he heard the sound of water boiling.Shana quickly got up to check, and Toru Amuro also followed to help.

Now he knows why Shana, Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu are so familiar with each other.

Amuro suddenly felt that the connection between Shana and Port Mafia might not be what he imagined. Although he had witnessed Shana's contacts with the cadres of Port Mafia, it was most likely because of Osamu Dazai.

It's just that he still can't be sure why Shane entered the Mafia headquarters in the port last time.

To meet Osamu Dazai?

"Wait for the water to cool down before making tea."

Xia Nai glanced at the instructions on the package of Anshen Tea, and felt that it might not be appropriate to boil water at this temperature, then she turned to look at her boyfriend, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Toru Amuro really has nothing to ask.

If it was the little detective who was full of curiosity and suspicion about everything, he would probably ask one sharp question after another right now.

But this is not Toru Amuro's style, especially when standing in front of him is his girlfriend.A while ago, the two just broke up unhappy, and finally Shana's attitude eased, and Toru Amuro didn't want to make the atmosphere stiff again.

So he shook his head and changed the subject again.

"I'm just a little surprised why Mr. Hanchuan invited you to be a guest."

Toru Amuro seemed to realize that his tone was not quite right, so he quickly added an explanation, "I heard from him that it was the first time you met him, so I was a little surprised why he found so many people who had never met before at once. Come as a guest."

In fact, he already has the answer, but the reason "to find the Aragami he met in the disaster" is too outrageous, so Toru Amuro wants to know what his girlfriend thinks.

Perhaps she can provide some information.

"I'm not sure, but I remember there were rumors in Yokohama that Mr. Samukawa also experienced the disaster 12 years ago, so it might be related to that disaster?"

Xia Nai tilted her head and thought about it carefully, "I seem to have heard other people mention that Mr. Samukawa was also a young entrepreneur back then. He was well-known in Yokohama. It seems that after the Kagutsu incident 12 years ago, suddenly Becoming fussy."

It's more than a godsend.

Toru Amuro, who had witnessed Mr. Samukawa's crazy appearance just now, sighed in his heart, and didn't say anything else, just helping Shana make tea together.

The strong fragrance of flowers and herbs lingered in the air with the hot water brewing, Xia Nai put the teapot and the teacups that had almost dried up on the tray, and Amuro took them back to the chess and card room.

Munakata Reiji and Bai Lan, who were playing billiards, had already sat on the edge of the sofa, and seemed to be chatting with Mori Ran and Dazai Osamu, and Nakahara Nakahara, who couldn't chat with Dazai Osamu, was looking at him with a cold expression. Outside the window, Mori Kogoro was still soundly asleep.

Only Conan seemed to be looking at everyone's expressions.

At this moment, the tea leaves had just been thrown away. Toru Amuro poured the scented tea prepared by Shane into the cup and distributed it to others. Mourilan, who was frightened by the story of Osamu Dazai just now, seemed quite interested in the scented tea. Following the instructions on the box, he drank the strong-smelling tea soup.

If Kogoro Mori's snoring was ignored, the atmosphere would have been harmonious for a while.

When Shana quietly yawned for the third time, Toru Amuro immediately smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'll send Teacher Mori back first."

"I'm here to help."

"Then the rest of us should leave too. We have to get up early tomorrow for our return trip."

With Toru Amuro taking the lead, the people who were already very sleepy and had no other entertainment facilities immediately responded, and everyone helped to send Kogoro Mori, who was still asleep, back to the bedroom, and then went back to their rooms.

……

The night of the snowstorm is extremely quiet, and the birds and animals hide in their safe nests, quietly waiting for the moment when the wind and snow stop.

But at the same time, it was also very stern. The wind sounded like a woman's wailing, accompanied by the sound of something being blown up by the wind and then falling heavily, and the sound of a tree branch breaking under the weight of the snow, from the beginning to the end. Never heard of it.

The calming tea provided by Xia Nai seems to be very effective. After drinking half a cup, Amuro felt that he slept very sweetly in the first half of the night. If he didn't pay attention to the rustling noises coming from the corridor, he thought he would be able to sleep for a while. Sleep till dawn.

The roommate Mori Kogoro was still snoring, Toru Amuro felt that he would not be able to fall back asleep for a while, so he casually put on his clothes and put on his pants, intending to see what happened in the corridor.

Before going out, Toru Amuro passed through the crack of the door and found that the originally brightly lit corridor was now pitch black.

These years of life in the organization made Amuro Toru full of vigilance for every unusual thing, he was fully on guard, and opened the door with a calm face.

It was so quiet in the corridor, so quiet that even the slightest rustling sound was incomparably obvious.

Toru Amuro closed the door softly, turned on the phone and was about to call out the flashlight, but saw a shadow flashing past the glass window at the end of the corridor.

The speed was extremely fast, as if someone was running, but there was no movement at all.

Feeling more and more abnormal, Toru Amuro hesitated for a few seconds, and was about to step forward to check, but felt a heavy weight on the back of his neck, as if he had received a violent impact, before he turned his head to check...

Then fell into the darkness again.

But before Amuro Toru's consciousness completely dissipated, he faintly felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if the same thing happened not long ago.

Amuro Toru's body fell heavily on the heavily carpeted floor with a muffled sound, and shortly after he fell——

The closed door was pushed open without making a sound.

There was only a thin sigh, which slowly spread out in the restored quiet corridor, and was quickly annihilated.

It's as if nothing happened.
