Mr. Oda and his friends

"Sakunosuke, I made new friends today and went to the beach in Okinawa. Although we may part soon, we all had a great time together. I really hope that the flowers will not wither and the banquet will not end."

The red-haired young man listened carefully to the voice coming from the mobile phone. The little girl who usually doesn't talk much, talked for a long time uncharacteristically.

"The question I asked within the day, I understand the thoughts she hid in it and couldn't express it. But... I didn't say to her 'you can choose whatever' like everyone did to me, because I don't think it's a good idea to escape."

"I really like the saying, 'All the gifts of fate have already been priced in invisible places'. Escaping from reality will only make the price more unbearable."

Encouraging Tian Nei Riko to refuse to assimilate with Tian Yuan according to her own ideas, this is just a light word for her.But what about the price?Who will pay the price later?

Hiyori knew in her heart that no matter whether Lizi could assimilate with Tianyuan in the end, it would not have any impact on her life in Yokohama.I can just pick up some more pleasant and irresponsible words to comfort her.Then, the magicians will lose the enchantment they rely on to protect themselves, and the ancient existence that shelters human beings will also face the danger of "dark fall".

As for the deeper things, she can't think of them yet, but that doesn't mean they don't exist:

——Even if Riko Amane can escape the fate of assimilation with the help of Gojo and Xia You, will she be able to live a peaceful and happy life?

Leaving aside those extreme conservative forces in the magic world, just from the perspective of ordinary magicians who have a larger number, how many of them who suddenly lost the necessary environment for exorcism work can hold back not to swear?

In addition, if it is true as Lizi's "science popularization", she will lose funding from the magic world after refusing to assimilate, and at the same time face revenge from extremist forces. The days of "freedom" may not be as beautiful as imagined.

Maybe Wujo and Xiayou have the ability to solve everything, another possibility is that they can't do it either.

Compared with the risks faced by the entire magic world and the disasters that may affect the world of ordinary people, one person's voice is too small.However, as I said before, Hiyori didn't think she could make decisions for Tennei, and was caught between rational approval and emotional rejection, and she experienced unprecedented entanglement and sadness.

As a human god, Kongchan, she should firmly support assimilation.But Miyata Hiyori, who is an ordinary person, is full of sentimentality for the imminent death of her new friend.

"The flowers have faded this year, and they will bloom again next year. This banquet is over, and it will continue next time. My friend is always there. As long as you keep thinking about it, she will exist in your mind."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he couldn't draw a conclusion, so he could only try his best to coax Hiyori to think about it.

"Everyone has something to do. It's better to be on the side of justice...Although everyone's definition of justice is different, I think the one that makes more people happy is the closest Real interpretation."

"is that so?"

Hiyori's voice was filled with doubts that would never be possible in normal times, while Oda Sakunosuke lamented her rapid growth in his heart, while biting the bullet and affirming: "Yes, the angles are different, and the things you see are different. "

After all, I am just an ordinary layman. Compared with Hiyori who has lived together day and night for a whole year, Riko Amauchi, whom I have never met, is just a strange name.If there is such a thing as "retribution" in the world, it should be borne by me, not Hiyori, who was so depressed that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

"You can't stand at the top of the sky and at the bottom of the valley at the same time, you can only choose a level that is more suitable for cognition, and then think about it." From the perspective of a leader, don't consider the bondage of human relationships; if you discuss it purely as relatives and friends, Then don't worry about world affairs.

The little girl was speechless, and the other end of the phone fell silent.

After a while, the young man's deep and gentle voice sounded again: "Anyway, you just said what you would do. There is no evaluation, let alone any suggestion. As for what other people will choose, that is their own decision. It can only be said that being affected is definitely not your responsibility, so don't take the responsibility on yourself."

"I'll pick you up back to Yokohama next week, okay?"

Now the war between the Yokohama Pokichi Road has indeed fallen into a feverish stage as predicted by Mr. Ranpo.In the words of a famous detective, this is called death is about to end, and the final winner will appear soon, and the whole city will soon usher in a new round of stable development.

After eighty days of civil strife, Oda Sakunosuke's most intuitive feeling is that the streets have become more depressed, and even the orphans he picked up... also increased to five at once.

Sigh... I don't know how to explain it to Hiyori at all.She might be upset, but those children, he really couldn't stand by and watch.If you don't adopt them, maybe you will see them at the police station next time.

—either lying in the morgue or handcuffed to the water pipes.

Hearing that the return date has been set, Hiyori finally pulled himself together, and even made a lot of sticky and strange requests: "That Sakunosuke needs to come early, I want to eat hard fruit candy, and I want Sakunosuke to go ride the Ferris wheel with me... ", hearing these childish requests, Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help smiling: "Okay, I will catch the earliest bus to pick you up, bring your favorite hard candies, and go to the Ferris wheel with you .Do you feel better?"

"much better!"

Hiyori lay on the bed at the inn and turned over, facing the window lattice.

Outside the window, the vast starry sky hangs high above the head, and the Milky Way lies in the middle of the sky.The young man's voice was a little hoarse that he didn't know: "I will watch you fall asleep, so go to sleep, good night and Rihe."

It was really reassuring to hear this person's voice before she became unconscious... Thinking of this, her breathing gradually became steady and deep.

On the other side, Oda Sakunosuke frowned and put down the phone, but did not hang up.I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I simply got up and walked outside the dormitory, lit a cigarette and held it in my hand, falling into deep thought.This cigarette was recently bought and used as a prop on the body. It is low-priced and low-quality, but it is very popular with the low-level members of the community organization.

After the moist tobacco burned, it released a small amount of gray smoke, which obscured the figure of the young man.

Hiyori...what kind of mood does he have when he looks at him Oda Sakunosuke?

Those words of "want to be with Sakunosuke" and "want to be with Sakunosuke" are mostly as untrue as the youngest daughter's swearing that "I will marry my father when I grow up" - after more than ten years, my father can only feel sour Sending her off in marriage is nothing more than childish words.

After adopting Sakule and the other children, he realized that his thoughts on Hiyori were completely different from those of the real children.If Saki Le said that a boy came to ask her out to play, he would definitely investigate the other party's background like a real detective, and then nodded stingily in agreement.But when it came to Hiyori, he only met once, so he avoided asking questions and didn't want to ask more questions, wishing to think that the two boys from Tokyo were air.

Back then when he took Hiyori away from the corpse pile, he was full of anxiety for fear of being discovered; when he took Sakule away from the corpse pile in the same way, the sneaky guilt disappeared without a trace.If there are no other thoughts lurking because of that astonishment, why save people secretly?

The tobacco slowly burned to the end, and a wisp of curled white smoke rose into the air and then fell silent, just like Oda Sakunosuke was in a good mood at the moment.

He said that he should give up, but what he thought in his heart was not what he wanted.

Or... go to Tokyo a few days in advance to see Hiyori, and then return to Yokohama together?

Anyway, there is enough chaos in the city right now. At this stage, the Metropolitan Police Department, the military police, and the Supernatural Secret Service Division all released the signal of "salted fish lie flat".The former was completely reduced to the backbone of the major organizations to clean up the battlefield. The middle one evacuated Yokohama on the grounds of "garrison transfer". As for the last one, even Ango worked overtime and went to the hospital to inhale oxygen. Others can imagine.

Therefore, the work of the Armed Detective Agency has also returned to the previous state. What should the big guys do? There is no response to the gunshots that sound outside the window from time to time, and they even think about buying a special egg with a limited time discount.

He could be off duty for a few days without causing any trouble.The children adopted from the street can be temporarily handed over to the owner of Zizixuan Curry Shop to take care of them. Colleagues will also pay attention to their safety, so don't worry too much.

The day after tomorrow, I will ask for leave to visit Hiyori in Tokyo, and accompany her to say goodbye to her new friend.

So decided.

Okinawa.

"Wow--"

"Wow--"

"...!"

In the undersea tunnel of the aquarium, three girls lie on the transparent glass wall and look out.A huge black and white killer whale was turning its belly sideways and staring at them with big eyes.

——Little two-legged animals, so cute, and one of them exudes a power that makes it feel very comfortable.

"Wow! It opened its mouth! It's bubbling!"

Riko Tenuchi was so excited that she wished she could go out of the glass and touch this naive big fish. The killer whale spit out a few bubble circles from another angle as if it understood.

The jellyfish surrounded by the bubble circle was stunned, at a loss.

"Hahahaha, look over here, take a photo to commemorate."

Wujo raised the phone to take ten consecutive shots. The killer whale didn't like him, so he swung his flippers and twirled his tail.Xia Youjie, who was in charge of carrying the picnic food, took the opportunity to sneer: "I'm hated, Wu."

"Impossible! I won't be hated, that's because I feel threatened. It's me who can make the deep-sea overlord afraid!"

The always confident Baimao pointed out his orchid finger, and pushed up his sunglasses pretentiously to greet the killer whale: "Hi~"

Fat Tiger patted the tunnel glass lightly with his tail, pushed away the sea water with great force, and disappeared almost instantly.

"Hey, I'm scared away." He pretended to be innocent, and forced a smirk at Riko Tenuchi who was glaring at him: "Hey!"

"Hey, what do you mean, you!"

Riko Tenchi was upset, the little ancestor of the magic world put his hands on his hips, and was about to spew out a long string of rare and wonderful adjectives, Xia Youjie stuffed her a red bean bun in time to make the war invisible: "It's almost time, go back to the hotel How about participating in a bonfire meeting and enjoying a seafood barbecue dinner?"

She immediately forgot about scaring the fat tiger away, and turned to discuss dinner with the other two girls.

With his back turned to them, Wujo gave a thumbs up to his friend.

Well done, as expected of you.
