noon.The early summer sun scorched the air.

Ozaki Momiji put away the paper umbrella and entered the Mafia building at the port and walked slowly back to the office. On the way, she met Chuya, "Elder sister seems to be in a good mood." The black coat was replaced with summer materials, which looked very light.

Raising her sleeves to cover her face, Hongye smiled, "That's right, my concubine went out with Hoshino today."

"Will it be fun to go out with her?"

Hongye didn't answer, and the two separated, but there was still a smile on their brows and eyes.Not only was it fun to go out with Hoshino, but she also met someone she thought was dead.

In the office, Hongye brewed jasmine tea and closed her eyes. The aroma of jasmine awakened by the hot water wafted out and gradually filled the whole room.Hoshino, this child, only you know what you are like in your heart.Hongye thought about what happened this morning.

***

The sun is not so scorching in the morning, and the wind blows on the body with a slightly cool breath.Hoshino came out of the shop carrying the package, and just happened to see Ozaki Hongye who had just got off the car, blinked his eyes, and extended an invitation to Hongye, "I'm going out to deliver a snack, sister Hongye, would you like to come with me?"

As if having a premonition, Koyo Ozaki nodded in agreement.

At the entrance of the orphanage, standing there to sign for the receipt was still a young girl with blond hair and blue eyes, and the middle-aged man who made Hoshino aware of the danger.

Koye Ozaki looked at the other party in a daze, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's Hongye."

"Mr. Mori." Even though he was only standing on Ozaki Koyo's side, Hoshino still caught the unbelievable and suppressed surprise in Momiji's voice.

As long as you know that the other party is still alive and living a good life is the best ending.Hongye is well aware of this truth.Without much communication, several people soon separated.

Hoshino asked casually: "Sister Hongye and the dean know each other?"

"Well. But, you little girl..."

Maybe it was because her wish was fulfilled, Hongye readily admitted.

The two talked about other topics on the way, and soon returned to the shop.

Seeing the young girl sitting across from her make tea in a smooth and flowing manner, and the fragrance of flowers evaporated into the air with the steam, Koyo Ozaki slightly rolled up her sleeves and took a sip, "The leader's condition has not been very good, thanks to Hoshino, Only by being a concubine can I know that the leader occasionally relaxes."

Heart skipped a beat, Hoshino didn't want to talk about Dazai with anyone.

Mostly when you like someone, you will be touched as long as you hear his name.

The feelings for the person I like are only buried in my heart. If I tell it, no matter who it is with, I will spread my secret for everyone to comment on.Hoshino resisted a little, so she changed the topic with a rhetorical question, "Hey, sister Hongye is also drinking tea here now, and Mr. Zhongyuan often comes, doesn't he?"

What a failed interruption.

When encountering such a problem, Hoshino was completely at a loss, flustered like a student who has just entered the world, so immature that people can see through it at a glance.

When Hongye heard this, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed, "You child..." But Hongye didn't want to let this topic just go away.She pressed her step by step, and added: "Hoshino, you actually want to continue like this, right? You just stand aside and want to stay by his side."

After the rain, the smooth water flow in the azure ceramic teapot suddenly had twists and turns. Even though nothing could be seen from the hands holding the teapot steadily, the movement became very clear and obvious after the distance was extended.

Hoshino put it down as if nothing had happened, "Sister Hongye," Hoshino hesitated for a moment, and made a reasonable expression, "You know, he will only accept collaborators." He dared not express any remaining feelings.

Because, as the leader, he will not accept any relationship other than work.In other words, as a lover, it is impossible to approach him.

"Silly boy, even if the leader is a slave to the organization, Dazai-kun—forget it, if you can stand by his side, go and help him. Even if I have known Dazai-kun for five years, I don't mind at all." I know exactly what he wants. So does Hoshino. In fact, Hoshino alone knows most of what happened in this city. I'm telling you these things with intuition, because——Before the conversation, my concubine I really can't see you showing any emotion, just like Dazai-kun."

Koyo Ozaki said these words with a smile, then changed the subject and stopped prying into Hoshino's heart.To pierce the heart, it is enough to say it once.

Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief.Pull yourself out of your emotions, and reply politely and seriously: "Yeah."

The atmosphere becomes lighter.

Momiji lowered her eyelids and smiled.As long as you want to probe into the child's heart, you will be rejected. Such a sensitive reaction, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.Especially when meeting Dazai-kun...

Although the mood swings are not big, it seems normal to ordinary people, but as a killer who appeared on the top list at a young age, Hongye never believes that the instinct engraved in his bones will disappear even if he has not moved for many years - Always hide your true self.

Ms. Hoshino, who appears in front of everyone, is always gentle, gentle and unhurried. Her demeanor makes people feel trustworthy. She talks with others with a reassuring smile. She looks strong enough to tolerate all mistakes in the world, no matter what happens. Anything, will say: "It's okay, leave it to me."

This kind of person would never allow others to know what was hidden in her heart, forbearance and restraint like a marionette who could only carry out orders—orders she made for herself.

However, I still have mood swings when mentioning Dazai-kun.

Hong Ye took a sip of tea, "Then this concubine can feel at ease. The summer festival will be soon, how about going out to play together then?"

"Okay." Hoshino agreed.

The two talked all morning about how to make tea and how to keep the aroma of the tea. Before leaving, Hoshino gave Hongye a piece of jasmine tea.

The faint fragrance of flowers filled the office. She always thought that the former leader had passed away, but she didn't expect to become the head of the orphanage.The two of them only need to communicate with each other by sight to understand what happened. Hongye took a sip of tea, her eyes seemed to see through the fog.

How many things did Mr. Dazai do secretly?

***

The fingertips tapped rhythmically on the glass tabletop, the sound echoed in the empty shop, and the freshly soaked fragrance of flowers lingered around the person.After straightening out his thoughts, Hoshino slowly opened his eyes, let's talk about this matter later in the evening.

People took their orders one after another, and the afternoon passed quickly. Hoshino watched the night that had already closed, locked the store door, turned left and right, and reached a quiet phone booth. She reached out and pressed the number, and the other end of the phone Get connected soon.

"Hey?"

"Ango. It's me, Hoshino. The matter that I was asked to investigate a month ago has already begun. However, if you want me to tell the truth, I have a condition."

There was a silence.But Hoshino was not in a hurry.The one in favor now is her.

"What conditions?"

"You can agree to the conditions that have nothing to do with me, and it will not harm your interests."

"··it is good."

"Until you retire, nothing I say next will appear on the file."

"That means, Mori Ogai, the former head of Port Mafia, is still alive."

"Yes, the Ability Secret Service Section's guess is correct. But I think, if I hadn't called you this time, you would have let it go in a few months, and you wouldn't be able to find out anyway. He It's alive and well, and it's safe now."

Pun intended - he will not be involved in any activities.

Without waiting for the other party to ask a question, Hoshino quickly started the next topic, "Okay, now I have completed the third commission. I can finally clear my file."

After all, the two have known each other for three years. When Hoshino first arrived in Yokohama, someone from the Supernatural Secret Service found her trace. In order to live in Yokohama normally, Hoshino took the initiative to meet Ango from the Supernatural Secret Service. , had a conversation, the two sides exchanged terms with each other, and what Hoshino had to do was to complete the commission from the government during this period.

"Well, don't worry, the file has been completed." Ango's steady voice reached Hoshino's ears through the microphone, "It's completely clean."

"Yeah." Hoshino replied contentedly, "By the way, have you been to Oda? Kemi asked about you recently."

"Ah. Last month, I have been dealing with information about the illegal supernatural organization that was wiped out by the port Mafia." Speaking of this, Ango's voice suddenly became a little resentful, "Hoshino, you know, you are the director of this matter." Torch."

"Eh? Ango, I didn't do anything." Hoshino changed the topic, "Let's stop here for today, hang up first. See you next time at Oda's house."

Before the other party could answer, Hoshino put down the microphone.She still thinks it's better not to make Anwu complain.

If it wasn't for Hongye's appearance, Hoshino could not be completely sure of the identity of the director of the orphanage.Even when she met Mori Ogai for the first time, the other party deliberately restrained his temperament-a friendly director of the orphanage.But Hoshino felt that she felt the danger from the same kind at a glance, and the seeds of doubt were planted at that time.

The moon climbed to the middle of the sky, and there was no cloud in the sky. The moonlight in Yokohama tonight was rare, especially soft and bright.The silvery moonlight shined on Hoshino through the glass of the phone booth, and the light purple windbreaker seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

In order to keep her promise with Ango, she must tell Ango what she needs to know.But in the morning, Hoshino vaguely guessed that this incident was planned by Dazai - he designed the former leader of Port Mafia to fake death, and then he himself became the leader of Port Mafia.

Otherwise, relying on the investigative capabilities of the Supernatural Special Service Section, it would be impossible to catch only a suspicious little tail.

But Hoshino, she will not overthrow Dazai's chess game.

Leaning against the cold iron inner wall of the phone booth, Hoshino raised one hand and rubbed between his brows, letting out a sigh of relief.As long as she thinks of that person, no matter how calm she looks, her heartbeat will betray her.In such a quiet night, in such a narrow space, she had nowhere to hide.

Seeing him was only a momentary event, but now it needs to be practiced with various actions in the future.

Can be used as a pawn on the chessboard, as an ally in temporary cooperation, or even—, even—

Hoshino suddenly clenched his fists.She couldn't imagine the consequences of taking another step forward.If she takes one more step, in this state, she will lose herself and become a pawn that he can control.

No.

Absolutely not.

This state is very good now, just standing next to Dazai, in what she considers a friend relationship, lukewarm, close to each other but distant, each other stopped at the present.

The little girl approached the deepest part of the abyss step by step with the dim lamp, and then gently lifted the lamp that was on and off, tremblingly, not daring to make any other movements.

Hoshino pushed open the door and chose another relatively prosperous road.On this street, pedestrians are coming and going in groups of three or four, making noise and laughing, and the neon lights are flashing in different colors, illuminating this intricate city.Hoshino was standing in the crowd without anyone accompanying her. To be precise, she was in another world.

Turning the corner a few times, the dark night in the bleak place engulfed her figure.

The author has something to say:

The snippet:

Mr. Sen made a friendly appearance.

I finally let Ango out! .

In this segment of Ms. Hoshino's personal analysis, Mr. Dazai only appears in the conversation and has no lines.

Note, there are really no lines, not a single word!

Count... Confession, right?

Slight abuse!

Such an intense plot was stunned because I wrote it so naively. (choking.) Am I really not suitable?It seems that I am the author of the silly white sweet series? ? ?

You can tell from my foreshadowing that the next chapter will be about the summer festival, which is a warm direction.

I try to be sweet...
