be king

It's as if it never existed.

The little boy whose death was confirmed by Kanin and Kusanagi was not found any clues about his identity even though the intelligence dealers probed him in every possible way. Yuuki, whose professionalism was questioned, was a little frustrated and went out of his stronghold to relax, but the result After walking a few steps, I found myself going around the bookstore.

Although the leisure yard doesn't like being disturbed by others, it has become a habit to go there for a walk - it is said that it only takes three weeks for a person to form a habit, but Yucheng calculated that he has been here for two months .

Unlike the days when he was quite free, Yuki did far less for himself than managing the intelligence network of the Black King Clan, but it has to be admitted that having formal subordinates is different from working alone.

Speaking of trouble, the most important thing is to have a real backer, or...

A sense of belonging.

This is what he never thought he would get when he first saw Xianyuan.

The curtains are drawn.

Xianyuan was in a good mood today, Yuki was standing behind the bed in a daze when he saw her.Sensing Yuki's sight, Hanin turned his head and nodded at him, and then Yuki saw the flickering terminal on the sofa behind her.

"what happened?"

Munakata's voice brought Xianyuan back to his senses, and the red-haired man whose eyes had changed from loose to even looser closed the curtains, leaned over to the sofa and picked up the terminal.

"I just saw people waiting."

"Interesting description."

There was the sound of pen and paper touching, and the rustling sound made Xianyuan's ears itch.Leaning on the sofa, smelling the unique smell of a new sofa, Xianyuan wrinkled his nose, but he still leaned on it.Munakata was probably processing some documents at the moment, but Xianyuan recalled the scene when she was lying on the table watching Munakata doing homework.

And the straight back of the boy and the serious expression behind the glasses.

"Mi Haisha," Munakata said after a while, "I'm waiting for you to speak."

Xianyuan faced the terminal, and after a while, a word popped out.

"talk."

The voice of writing over there immediately stopped, and Xianyuan could probably imagine Zongxiang's forbearance expression of strangling her to death.But for Hanin, it is a pleasure to make Munakata helpless, no matter what the other party's mood is, she will eventually follow her temperament.

Just like when she was in high school, she loves to act like a brother and sister.

Munakata sighed, as if putting the document aside.

"What's the weather like at Mikaisa? The weather here in Tokyo is fine."

"I've already checked tomorrow morning and asked me." Xianyuan opened the curtains and looked outside, Yucheng was standing not far away basking in the sun: "It's very sunny, but it's very hot."

Putting down the curtains, Xianyuan simply sat on the carpet.A thick layer of blanket does not keep you warm in the air-conditioned room, but keeps the soles of your feet from catching cold due to the marble floor.

"Master Li."

"I'm here."

"I've been...thinking about a question."

"It's really rare." Munakata seemed a little interested: "Is there any problem that makes Mi Haisa want to get angry?"

"That's right," Xianyuan said, "For example, what does a man's mind think, that he will marry a guy who is arrogant and arrogant."

There was a silence on that end.

"Mi Haisha, every time you describe yourself, it seems that some major event that I don't know about will happen."

"I haven't." Xianyuan replied firmly and abnormally.

But this feeling of guilty conscience is lingering.

"The first time I asked this question, it was when Mi Haisha volunteered for the university and took the Army Command Academy behind my back on a whim. If it wasn't for me to open the mailbox, Mi Haisha probably doesn't know where to serve now."

"……I did not go."

"The second time I asked this question, it was Mi Haisha and I who had a quarrel about raising cats, turned around and reported to Doctors Without Borders, and after reconciliation, Mi Haisha's department head notified me of this incident .”

"...I didn't go either."

"The third time I asked this question, it was Mi Haisha who left a message on the phone."

The courtyard is silent.

Then she ran away from home.

"So if you want to say something, say it now."

Leaning his head on the back of the sofa, Xianyuan lowered his eyes, thinking about what to say.

Then she figured it out.

"Master Li."

Munakata just stood there waiting for the next sentence.

"I miss you."

"...It is a harvest to hear this sentence."

In the silent tug-of-war between the two sides, Munakata sighed at the end and gave up the questioning of Hanyuan who did not know when.On the paper in his hand was a person with outlined eyebrows and eyes, which happened to be what she looked like when she had a coquettish and flattering expression.

Although not too common.

"Now that we have broken through the bottleneck of saying such things," the man behind the glasses rarely smiled, "How about saying a few more words?"

"……don't want."

His tone was so stubborn, as if he was about to hang up the phone.But since the time on the communication record is still persisting every second, the expression of the person over there should be that he wants to hang up the phone but is reluctant.

"Speaking of which, is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Eh? Do you have time?" Xianyuan replied quickly: "If you are still with s4, that's fine."

"The tone of disgust is really obvious."

There was no sad tone at all, and the man who was rejected didn't feel disappointed: "But if Mi Haisha just said..."

There was a knock on the door.

Pressing the busy tone, Munakata put the terminal back into his pocket, and flipped over the piece of paper with a few random strokes.After Munakata asked to come in, Fushimi reluctantly opened the door and glanced at the man sitting behind the desk.

"Chairman, today is the spy team's...kendo training."

"Is there a problem, Fushimi-kun?"

Fushimi was a little irritable, but he still held his temper and tried to speak respectfully.

"The deputy chief said that you will go to inspect in person today."

But now half an hour has passed.

Fushimi didn't even want to mention that he seemed to have heard something he shouldn't have heard, but the deputy chief was supervising order and had to do what he had been told.I don't know when it was his turn to do errands like sending documents...

Obviously the office is as close as possible.

"Is that so..." Munakata looked at the clock: "Has it already started?"

"Yes, so please go to work... to guide."

Munakata looked at Fushimi regretfully, and walked out with his sword.Fushimi followed behind Munakata, looking at the back of the man in front of him very unmotivated.

Then somehow he remembered the woman who blatantly molested Bada in the barking dance.

When I saw her near Mochizuki two days ago, it was different from when I was in Barbara and the camp. She was not as bright as in Barbara, and I didn’t suppress myself everywhere in the camp. The tiredness and boredom were a bit defensive. , but when the clansmen approached to say hello, they concealed their seriousness but concealed their willful and arrogant attitude.

I don't know how that group of people get along, but it seems that she really likes life there.

"Fushimi-kun."

Munakata's voice pulled back Fushimi's thoughts of flying away, and looking around, Fushimi found that he was standing on the road about half the distance away from the dojo.This section of the road has just left the gate, and the traffic at the gate is a bit noisy.

"Fushimi-kun, I have something to ask about your activities in the territory of the Black King."

The man had a sincere tone, but Fushimi knew that his attitude was not as good as his performance.

"Yes."

"I really told everything I know, Mi Haisha."

Yuki leaned against the bookshelf, and sighed: "The child did not appear at the time and place Mi Haisha said, even the police database, I have looked for it. Could it be a mistake..."

Those words were forced back by Xianyuan's gaze.

"So just tell me clearly. It is actually basic common sense that it is impossible to obtain all-round information without understanding the process of the incident..."

"That only shows that you don't have the ability to piece together the whole picture from the pieces."

"It's true that I don't have such ability, it's just that there is a person with such ability, but Mi Haisha just refuses to ask for it..."

Yuuki stopped talking, looked at Kanin with a bad face, and finally changed his mind to ask.

"Kings?"

It's not that things can't be guessed, it's just that without Xianyuan's confirmation, it's just a guess after all.

Judging from the things given by Xianyuan, Yuki thinks that she killed a child by mistake, and in the end Kusanagi who passed by probably helped her.For details on how to help, you can refer to the fire recorded by the police at that time. The bodies of three gangsters were burned to ashes. In the end, the scientific search institute used the remaining DNA to compare the crime database and identified the identities of the three. .

But there is indeed no fourth person on record.

Yuuki also thought that maybe Hanin remembered it wrong, but Kusanagi had no reason to react so much.

"Indeed...it's not a big deal." Yuki looked at the carpet under the sofa in the leisure yard: "Actually, a king doesn't need to care so much."

It's fine if you say you feel guilty, but it's really unreasonable to sleep all night.

After all, he is a demigod.

Dean Xian heaved a sigh of relief: "Forget it, there is no need to follow."

"Huh? If you continue to chase, there may be some results."

"I said no need." Stretching his waist, Xianyuan asked the child who was still alive: "Pingtai, is that his name?"

Yuuki nodded.

"Let the city keep an eye on his physical condition."

Xianyuan gave such a sentence, and then picked up the book and read it again.Yuuki was not kicked out, and continued to stay there because he had nothing to do. He felt thirsty and went to the kitchen to get a glass of milk.

"Speaking of which, what does Mi Haisha think of it, about killing a person by mistake."

This question made Xianyuan frowned, but she answered it anyway.

"crime."

Yuuki didn't know how to evaluate such a straightforward answer, and then had a guess.

"that……"

Xianyuan was obviously a little impatient.

"last question."

"Being outside all the time, is it because of this?"

Xianyuan's eyes stopped on a certain line in the book, and then he closed the book.

"Yes."
