[Comprehensive] The correct way to use the semi-cold and semi-flammable personality

Nanase curled up next to the freezer in the 24-hour convenience store, pinching the potato chips in her hands uneasily.The sound of the thin rope when the wrapping paper was being rubbed made the only salesperson on duty in the store cast his eyes frequently, watching her every move vigilantly.But Nanase didn't notice the salesperson's eyes.She doesn't have any more distractions now, the fear still exists in her blood, and she doesn't know when it will be completely obvious.Her imagination ran uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where the guy pretending to be a taxi driver rushed into the convenience store viciously.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she hurried around to another shelf, grabbed a small fruit knife that had not been opened, and held it in her arms together with the potato chips.

Everything she showed was like a cowardly thief, and the salesperson's attention to her grew wildly.The salesperson didn't understand Nanase's panic, and likewise, Nanase didn't know how the salesperson viewed her.She stared at the road outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, expecting a police car with sirens to appear within sight.

But she had already reported to the police just now, and she thought the speed of the Yokohama police should be quite fast.

The potato chips in her hand were ruthlessly crushed into tiny crumbs, completely missing the perfect flakes on the package promotional picture.If she had used more force, it is estimated that the hydrogen in the packaging bag would also be crushed by her.

It was very calm outside.She withdrew her gaze, but still had lingering fears.The convenience store was eerily quiet, making the roar of the freezer's operation all the more obvious.Nanase dialed the phone tremblingly.

The annoying call tone didn't last long, and the person on the other end connected her call.

"Officer Megure, I think I saw Saito."

Before Mu Mu could say "Hello", Nanase said anxiously.She deliberately lowered her voice, but the panic in her voice could not be weakened much.

"Why, does he want to do something bad to you again?" Mu Mu seemed a little flustered.

"Ah...no, no." Nanase quickly denied, "Actually, I don't know what to say, but he didn't do anything to me. I saw him, and I remember he seemed to have a plastic bag in his hand, So I guess he lives nearby. I think if you cooperate with the Yokohama police, you should be able to..."

Should be able to capture him.

She paused for a moment, and the unfinished words were choked in her throat. For some reason, she had a strong desire not to say these words.

She didn't say any more, but Meguro already understood what she meant.He became full of energy all of a sudden, and his originally lazy tone was swept away, as if he had regained his vitality.

Nanase didn't say anything, and hung up the phone.

She was restless again, feeling that she was not safe anywhere.She quietly moved to the other side of the shelf, curled up, and hid her figure so that no one outside the store could see it—even though there was no one outside.

The electronic clocks on the shelves all marked 09:30.Nanase didn't expect it to be so late, how to go back has become a question that urgently needs to be answered at this moment.

She still has lingering fears about taxis, and she thinks she won't try this kind of transportation again in a short time.It is close to the suburbs, and there are few buses. She checked, and even the nearest station is a 15-minute walk away.What happens on the way from the convenience store to the station?Nanase didn't dare to think about it.

In Nanase's heart at this moment, the risk factor of a bus is comparable to that of a taxi.

How about staying in a convenience store?Anyway, this place is open 24 hours, as long as you buy a little more, I believe that the salesperson who looks very friendly will not drive her away-if you think about it a little more presumptuously, the salesperson might welcome you. Spend the long night with her here.

Nanase felt that this was undoubtedly a genius idea.

Therefore, when she came to the cashier with a lot of snacks and carefully expressed her thoughts, she was quite confident.

However, the cashier politely refused her request.

"We close at twelve," she said.

Nanase was at a loss for words for a while, and after hesitating for a long time, she muttered softly: "Isn't this a 24-hour convenience store..."

"Hey, 24 hours, it's just talk." She waved her hand and complained to her, "There are not many people who are willing to patronize this small convenience store, and there are even fewer people in the middle of the night. To save some wages, the late-night shifts have been withdrawn, and we only operate until twelve o'clock at night. We have been doing this for many years!"

"Um... well..."

Nanase collapsed in an instant, and sighed a few times. Although she was still unwilling, she obediently picked up the pile of puffed food on the counter, and left sadly.She bought these snacks for nothing.

For some reason, the police haven't contacted her yet, and she doesn't know what happened.All in all, it is better to take the bus back before the last bus arrives.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get back to the apartment before eleven o'clock.

She took a deep breath, held the fruit knife tightly in her hand, and made a moment of mental preparation before stepping out.Walking on the deserted street, the slightest bit of night wind made her tremble.

The phone rang suddenly, and Nanase almost dropped what was in her hand in fright.After the bell rang for a while, she realized that it was probably a call from Hong Jiaodong.

After all, the task of today's routine call has not yet been implemented, and she is about to forget about it.

She blamed herself for flipping through her goldfish memory.

With her hands full, it took her a while to pull out her phone and fumbled through the call.

When she heard the screeching sound, Nanase couldn't help but have a sore nose, all grievances rolled in her heart, and she wished she could throw herself into his arms and cry.But now she was walking on an unknown street in Yokohama, alone.

For the first time she felt how irritating distance was.

At the very least, the scorching sound could make her feel the long-awaited peace of mind.Therefore, she didn't want Hong Jiao Dong to worry about herself either.

She lowered her voice, trying to sound cheerful.She kept talking about how interesting Bajingdao Ocean Paradise was, and how much she looked forward to coming with him again in the future, until Hong Jiaodong interrupted her.

"Well... Nana, tell me, did you encounter any unpleasant things?" He asked cautiously.

Recently, Hong Jiaodong called Nanase (nanase) from his name to Nana (nana).There was a unique intimacy to it, he said.

All of Nanase's words stopped abruptly, and the silence echoed over Tokyo and Yokohama for a moment.

"Yeah." She bit her lower lip tightly, but she still couldn't restrain her crying, "I encountered... a particularly terrible thing..."

When Hong Jiaodong heard her crying and telling all the experiences of the previous hour, it was actually a heart attack, as if her heart and lungs were tightly clenched together, and the intense emotion that accompanied her breathing did not know whether it was anger or sadness.He tried hard to comfort Nanase, but the pale words couldn't do anything, and the dryness seemed to scratch his throat.A sense of guilt filled his heart, and he kept blaming himself.

It would be nice if I could be by her side, so I wouldn't leave such an experience...

It would be nice if I could call her earlier, maybe she would get in another taxi...

It would be nice if she could hear her heavy nasal voice when she answered the phone, so she wouldn't have to pretend to be strong...

"but."

Nanase let out a long sigh.

"But it makes me so happy to hear your voice!"

Hong Jiaodong forced a smile, not knowing whether he should be happy, but felt his heart was even more sour.

No wonder everyone said what a terrible thing distance is, and now he really realized it.

"Keep the phone open, okay? I don't worry if I don't watch you back to the apartment." He sighed softly, "But do you really think Caihu saved you?"

To be honest, he didn't have much trust in Caihu.All his impressions of Caihu were bad, and he didn't have the slightest liking for him.He still doesn't quite believe what Nanase said.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Hong Jiaodong never thinks that talented people are kind.

Nanase on the other end of the phone thought for a moment, "I think he helped me, because the driver—ah no, it should be a pervert—he kept yelling that he couldn't see, and Saito happened to be Appearing there, even if it's a coincidence, it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

"According to what you said, isn't he just following you? This is even more terrifying...!"

Bang Jiaodong almost cried out.

This guess is reasonable, and Nanase is unavoidably shaken, but she still has a little trust in Saito, and she is still unwilling to assert Saito as a vicious villain.

She knew that on this issue, Hong Jiao Dong would always disagree with her.Nanase hated this kind of situation, so she didn't continue this topic anymore, and glanced around boredly, just in time to catch a glimpse of a slightly old piece of paper on the station sign.

"Hey, there is actually a small advertisement on the stop sign?"

"Really? Will anyone still choose such an ancient propaganda method?" Hong Jiaodong laughed.

Nanase got up and approached, wondering what was written on it.She has already made up a bunch of ancient scam advertisements such as asking for a child with a lot of money in her brain.

But this little advertisement might disappoint her, because it was just a simple job advertisement.And the paper is not old, it's just because it happened to be under the warm yellow street lamp, so it was painted with the same color.

"The Armed Detective Agency is looking for a part-time assistant. The working hours are free, the commuting time is fixed, and the monthly salary is generous. It fully complies with the "Yokohama Employee Labor Law". Welcome students to come and learn about it! Tel: xxx-xxxxx"

Armed detective agency?Nanase felt that the name was familiar, as if she had heard it mentioned by someone before.

She continued to look down.Someone wrote a sentence in the corner of the recruitment advertisement, and the handwriting was so chic that no one could ignore it.

"At the same time, I sincerely recruit women who are willing to die in love with me!"

"It feels so unreasonable..." Hong Jiaodong muttered in a low voice.
