The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Early summer is a drowsy day, and I fell asleep within a short while in bed.

Faintly hearing cicadas chirping outside the window, the crow-like eyelashes fluttered a few times, and when he opened his eyes in a daze, Ritsu Sasashima realized that he seemed to have slept until dark.

The hotel room is close to the street, you can hear the sound from outside.

Ritsu Sasashima stood in front of the window with hotel slippers on, looking out at the scenery outside. The rooms on the lower floors are also pretty good, and it feels more like a city.

He turned and walked into the bathroom, straightening his messy hair and wrinkled shirt.

A washed denim jacket is worn over a white T-shirt, and the lower body is casual jeans in the same color as the jacket. A pair of clean sneakers shows that he loves them very much.

I didn’t have my schoolbag on my back either, so I stuffed the room card into my wallet and set out for a night trip to Shibuya.

Wandering aimlessly, buy a snack at the food stand when you are hungry.It's almost natural to eat something sweet when eating salty food. Ritsu Sasashima is holding the freshly made taiyaki, which is piping hot.

Instead of choosing the traditional red bean filling, I ordered custard filling.Ritsu Sasashima bit the part towards the tail, just like a greedy kitten also likes to start from the tail.

The warm custard sauce is full, even if you bite the fish tail, you can taste a lot.Creamy and rich, delicate and smooth, there should be a small amount of fine salt in the skin of the taiyaki, the collision of salt and sugar can bring out the sweetness of the filling.

In less than 30 seconds, the palm-sized taiyaki was eaten by Ritsu Sasashima.

After drinking and drinking, I walked all the way from Udagawa to Kabado, and felt a little tired when I passed the Kabato Central Bridge.Sasashima Ritsu strolled alone by the lake under the bridge, feeling quite comfortable with the warm evening wind blowing.

The commercial street on the other side of the lake is shining with neon lights, and the residential area behind it looks extraordinarily quiet.

He sat on the railing with his hands on his buttocks, turned his head and looked at the calm lake, the bangs on his forehead were blown by the breeze, in this silent atmosphere, he thought of something on his mind for no reason.

Suspended for a year, what should he do this year... have no idea.

Simply planning to leave Bencheng's house and settle in Tokyo, but without planning what to do after that, a sense of confusion arises spontaneously, whether his future will be the same as this lake.

It was so calm that there were no waves, like a pool of stagnant water.

"..."

Sasashima Ritsu propped his body upside down to face the lake, closed his eyes and tried to feel the evening wind, while clearing his mind, thinking about whether to study hard or delve into something else during this year's free time.

Before he could think of anything useful, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

Feeling someone grabbing the hem of his clothes, Ritsu Sasashima subconsciously grasped the railing tightly with his knuckles, and pressed his body against the railing to prevent himself from accidentally falling into the lake.

Seeing Sasashima's appearance, the person who was pulling his clothes behind him thought he had made up his mind, and shouted hastily.

"No...don't commit suicide!"

"?"

Ritsu Sasashima turned around and found that the person pulling his clothes was a black-haired boy who was half a head taller than himself, and he looked flustered.

suicide?Do you look like someone who committed suicide?

"Let go."

Hearing the words, the black-haired boy quickly dropped the plastic bag in his left hand, tightly gripped the crumbling jacket with both hands, and shouted, "Tell me if you have any troubles, don't commit suicide! There are still many..."

"Can I pause for a moment?"

"Hey?"

Ritsu Sasashima pointed at the coat that was about to be torn off with one finger, and said with a blank expression: "You almost tore my clothes, and..."

He jumped off the railing and looked at the black-haired boy who was half a head taller than himself, and said word by word: "I, no, want, suicide."

"But...but you just leaned out with half of your body."

"I'm just thinking about things. Are you thinking too much?" Sasashima Ritsu leaned back on the railing and looked at the boy in front of him. Under the dim streetlights, his complexion was darker than his own, but it was not as dark as wheat. color.

The hairstyle looks like the kind of obedient and good student in the class. The phoenix eyes on the end of the eyes are very beautiful, and the face reveals a kindness, which is completely different from his facial paralysis face.

There is still childishness on his face, he doesn't look much older than himself, high school student?

But now this childish high school student lowered his head and covered his cheek shyly, he seemed to feel shy.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had finished shopping at the convenience store a few minutes ago and was about to go home, walked home along the sidewalk above the lake. When he looked at the bustling commercial street on the other side, he suddenly noticed something standing by the lake.

After looking carefully, I found that it was a man who didn't look very tall. When he saw his body leaning forward with his hands supported on the railing, he realized that this man might try to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake, so he ran to him with all his strength. , grabbed the hem of the jacket.

Oh my god, what are you doing... so embarrassing!

"If I really want to commit suicide, will you save me?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang put down his hands and raised his head to look at Sasa Island, his cheeks were still slightly red, but his expression was very firm, he said seriously: "Of course."

"But we don't know each other at all. Is it necessary?"

"Helping people doesn't need a reason."

Sasashima Ritsu frowned slightly, the person in front of him seemed to be kinder than he imagined, thinking of what happened in the past ten years, no matter what happened, he never extended a helping hand to him.

He reached out and put on the jacket that he had torn off in half, his blue pupils in the backlight were like the black lake behind him.

Seeing him staring at him without speaking, Zhu Fu Jingguang blinked his eyes and thought about what to say to break the awkward atmosphere.In fact, he himself is also the type who is not good at communicating with strangers, and he even suffered from aphasia because of something before.

"My name is Zhu Fu Jingguang. I'm 17 years old. We know each other now, right?"

He really said what he thought of, Zhu Fu Jingguang only felt his back was sweating, he introduced himself as soon as he introduced himself, why did he stretch out his hand, wouldn't it be more embarrassing if he didn't shake himself.

Well, it would be nice if Zero was here at a time like this.

There was no response from the other side. When Zhu Fu Jingguang was about to withdraw his hand, he didn't expect a cold hand to wrap his right hand. In the warm environment of early summer, it was quite comfortable.

"Rito Sasashima, 14 years old..."

Ritsu Sasashima obviously didn't expect that he would do this, let alone that he would want to shake hands with him. The unprecedented treatment made him not know how to react for a while.

Noticing that he wanted to withdraw his hand, without thinking about what to do or say next, he held it directly.

"ささじまりつ, that's a nice name." Zhu Fu Jingguang asked curiously, "What are you doing here alone? It's already late and you're not going home?"

Family.

He no longer has a home.

Ritsu Sasashima glanced at the plastic bag that was thrown on the ground, and two cans of beer and shredded squid as an appetizer ran out of it, which obviously didn't look like what Zhu Fu himself ate.

He bent down to pack the things into the bag and handed them back to him, then directly changed the subject and said, "Is it okay if you don't go back, you should run errands for the family."

"Ah! Uncle asked me to buy something! I have to go back!"

I thought that Zhu Fu Jingguang would leave directly, but I didn't expect him to find an old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket, and smiled at him: "What's your email address, can you give it to me?"

"…Can."

After exchanging email addresses, Zhu Fu Jingguang ran forward, not forgetting to turn around and tell: "Sasashima-kun, please pay attention to safety on the way home! Remember to report your safety when you get home."

Is he so gentle to everyone? For some reason, he thinks of his mother whose memory has been blurred.

Putting away his thoughts, Ritsu Sasashima walked towards the commercial street on the other side of the lake, and hailed a taxi back to the hotel amidst the buzz.

After returning home and handing the beer and shredded squid to his uncle, Zhu Fu Jingguang lay on the bed holding his mobile phone, staring at the ceiling in a daze... After hearing the email notification tone, he immediately got up to check the mailbox.

[Sasashima: This is Ritsu Sasashima, I have arrived home safely. ]

"This kid is really old-fashioned." Zhu Fu Jingguang scratched his cheek, pressed the button and edited an email to reply.

Sasashima Ritsu, who was about to wash and sleep, showed a helpless expression after seeing the reply.

[Zhu Fu: You are still a middle school student, why do you speak like a little old man?Young people should use kaomoji more!Good night, Sasashima-kun~<(?????)>]

[Sasashima: (|3[▓▓]]
