Unremarkable Alpaca King

On the first day of the new year, according to the custom, the three of them planned to visit a nearby shrine.

At this time, the street outside the window was already covered with a thick layer of snow, and the white snow glistened under the reflection of the sun.However, because there are special staff responsible for cleaning every day, it will not hinder people's travel.

Last night, because of celebrating the birthday of Yuegang Passerby, all three of them stayed up late.Fortunately, the soundproofing of the apartment is good, otherwise the three of them might have attracted complaints from neighbors after they were drunk.

Passer-by Yuegang struggled a few times before opening his eyelids that were almost sticking together. Compared to the cold air outside, it is a wise choice to lie in a warm blanket anyway.

Squinting his eyes, he looked at the time displayed on the phone, it was 46:10.Tsukioka retracted his head again, and another [-] minutes of sleep around seven o'clock is not too much, right?

The law of sleeping a little longer, as we all know, the flow speed of time inside the quilt is different from that outside the quilt.So after 10 minutes passed by Yuegang Passerby, the time has come to 10:30 at a slow pace.

When Tsukioka, who was in a daze, was wearing a furry pajamas and was about to wash up, he opened the door and saw two well-dressed guys sitting on the stove in front of the TV, peeling oranges, and the red fruit bowl was specially distributed by the unit new year cookies and sweets.

"Good morning, Kotsukioka." Kenji Hagiwara turned his head and saw the passer-by in Tsukioka, who was still not sober, and waved at him the orange he had just peeled.

Walking a few steps, Yuegang passer-by bent down and bit the orange.Tangerines in winter always taste a bit sweeter than those in other seasons, and they slide down into the stomach with a little coolness. Tsukioka is now fully awake.

"Have you had breakfast?" Yuegang passer-by glanced at the program on TV, and it was the replay of the red and white songs that he was not interested in.

"I've already eaten it. Your portion is in the microwave. Remember to reheat it before eating."

"Got it—hagi mother." Tsukioka drew his voice, and when he entered the bathroom, he saw Hagiwara Kenji doing such childish things as trying to stack all the oranges.

When he had the last one left, Matsuda Jinping suddenly reached out and took one orange from the middle.Seeing this, Yuegang Passer-by couldn't help laughing out loud, and hurried into the bathroom before the two of them turned their heads.

After washing up, Tsukioka turned on the microwave, and there was a sandwich with a smiling face painted on ketchup and a cup of hot milk inside.

It was obviously not the first time I saw the breakfast prepared by Hagiwara and the others, but Tsukioka Passer-by didn't hold back his nose when he saw it, and tried his best to stop the urge to cry.Not long ago, he always felt as if he was in a dream, and the monthly changes in his body were always reminding him.The estrangement from this world is particularly clear in the first few months of his arrival in this world, and he still wakes up from his dreams from time to time.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the blood-stained faces of his companions would appear in front of him, and he would shout to him: "Run—"

Obviously Hagiwara Ken and Matsuda have been accommodating him... Tsukioka lowered his head, controlling himself not to make a sound that would be heard by the two people in the living room.

Until this moment, Yuegang Lu was truly sure that the sun was really shining on him.All the words he knows can't describe the feeling of being picked up from the bottom of the sea at a depth of [-] meters and seeing the sun again.

"Are you ready?" Matsuda Jinhei was leaning against the wall of the entrance, and Hagiwara Kenji was already chatting with Mrs. Yamamoto next door outside.

"Immediately." Yuegang Passerby put on the Martin boots, and the long black down jacket was the same style that the three of them bought when the mall was on sale.

"Wait." Matsuda Jinpei looked Yuegang up and down, walked a few steps to the front and tore off his collar, and saw that he was only wearing a thin long-sleeved jacket, and slammed on the head of the passer-by in Yuegang one time.

"Go and put on the sweater." Under the intimidation of Matsuda Jinpei, Tsukioka was furious, and returned to the room with his head covered.

Matsuda crossed his arms and walked to the door, looking lazily at Tsukioka who was rummaging through his clothes, while commanding: "Also, bring the scarves and gloves I bought for you earlier. Don't forget to bring the coins you will use later when you visit the shrine."

"Understood." The passer-by in Yuegang turned his head and made a grimace at Matsuda, "Matsuda has been completely infected by Hagi's mother's air."

Matsuda Jinpei snorted when he heard Tsukioka's words, but didn't express much.He felt that since this guy passed his birthday, he was much more childish than before. Obviously, there was only one male mother at the beginning, and now there is also Kenji Hagiwara.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was also claimed by Tsukioka to have become an old mother, refused to admit that she had gradually become a masculinity.

The three of them walked side by side on the street, their shoes creaking on the snow.Passerby Yuegang's entire face was huddled in the scarf, and he squinted his eyes under the sun's rays, obviously he just woke up not long ago but felt sleepy again.

"There are still a few days left for the holiday, do you have any plans?" Hagiwara Kenji chose to wear the down jacket open for the sake of looking good. Inside, he wore a dark blue turtleneck sweater and a gray vest, and all the scarves of the same color were wrapped around his neck. A little extra.

"No, stay at home." Matsuda Jinpei's clothes were still all black as usual, with black sunglasses that covered half of his face.With his own ruthless aura, Matsuda is more like a debt collector who does not take holidays even during Chinese New Year.

"Me?" Discovering that the two of them were suddenly looking at him, Tsukioka passers-by didn't hear Hagiwara's question at all, "I want to eat oden."

"Really, that's not the question I asked about Tsukioka." Hagiwara Kenji covered his face helplessly, looking at Tsukioka who didn't know why, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.This idiot turned out to be his friend, what else could he do?Of course I accepted it.

"Why don't you go to the hot springs." Hagiwara Kenji cheered up, and after realizing that the two friends were unreliable, he decided to take on the big responsibility.

"In winter, of course you want to go to the hot springs, right?" Hagiwara turned his head and looked at Matsuda Jinhei with sparkling eyes, as if looking for approval.

"I don't care, the hot spring is indeed very suitable for relaxation after a year of work."

"That's right, that's right." Hagiwara Kenji looked at the hesitant Tsukioka passer-by and increased his temptation, "After soaking in the hot spring, wouldn't it be better to eat oden?"

"so I......"

“The chow mein bread there is delicious.”

"I go!"

Hagiwara, who saw the consent of Tsukioka passers-by, quietly made a gesture to Matsuda Jinpei. Seeing the smug look in his eyes, Matsuda couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This kind of life is ordinary but hard-won.

After throwing the coin into the cash box, shaking the benping bell, the three of them clasped their hands together and closed their eyes to make their wishes together.Legend has it that in the sound of the Hontsubo bell, the wishes of devout people will be conveyed to the gods living in Kotengahara through this bell.

"Let's hang an ema later." Kenji Hagiwara stepped back with his hands behind his head, looking at the two people who were walking slowly behind.

One of the shrines that the three of them chose to visit this time is located in a relatively remote and secluded place. The shrine is tightly surrounded by seven or eight-meter-high trees.It took the three of them more than an hour to walk up from the bottom of the mountain. Some steps are covered with moss because of the lack of pedestrians. If you don't pay attention, you may slip.

The distance from the wishing place to the gate of the shrine is only about twenty steps, which is no different from other shrines.The only thing worth mentioning is that when you enter from the gate, you can see the sacred tree that can only be embraced by at least four or five adult men.The tassels on the shimenawa rope entwining the sacred tree have begun to turn yellow, and they all tell the traces of time to the people who come to worship.

"I think it should be around this corner—"

"hiss--"

Kenji Hagiwara, who was busy talking back to the person behind, didn't notice the person walking in front at all, and directly collided with that person abruptly.

"Sorry, you're fine..." Hagiwara Kenji held his blushed forehead and suddenly lost his voice after seeing the unlucky ghost clearly, opening and closing his mouth.

"Bourbon, are you okay?" Scotland, who noticed the movement, hurried over a few steps, and before he had time to care about his little boy, he saw three people standing still in front of him.

Yuegang Passerby subconsciously wanted to call out their names, but he immediately realized that he was still on an undercover mission, so he could only express his hesitation with his eyes.

Zhu Fu Jingguang laughed when he met Yuegang's gaze.A smile that everyone was familiar with during the police academy was raised on his face, and his blue eyes were slightly curved with joy.

"Long time no see everyone."

"It's really good, long time, no, see you." Matsuda Jinpei looked a little angry, and after noticing his clenched fist, Tsukioka quietly took a step to the side.

"Is there no one who cares about the victim?" Fugu Ling's tone was full of dissatisfaction, and he didn't really mean to blame his friends, but just wanted to break the somewhat strange atmosphere.

"The bastard who disappeared for three years without leaving a word does not deserve to be sympathized with."

"Curly, please close the microphone."

"Do you guys want to fight when we meet?" Matsuda Jinpei took a few steps forward and grabbed Furutani Rei by the collar.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Rei Furutani showed a provocative expression to Matsuda after being aroused, "The guy whose dentures were all knocked out by me."

"Wait, don't fight as soon as you meet." Yuegang Passer-by intervened between the two of them, motioning for their young tame-ran to pull them away.

"We should go." Zhu Fu Jingguang glanced at the time, his face darkened.Jiang Gu Ling also frowned, the recent frequent actions of the organization made him feel a little worried.

Kenji Hagiwara lowered his eyes silently, although he wanted to persuade him to stay, he knew clearly that those two people were doing something more important and dangerous.All the emotions are reduced to one sentence: "Take care."

"If you die before me, blond bastard," Matsuda Jinpei has never been good at saying parting words, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly against the light. "I'll tell everyone that of course you were the one who lost in the police academy."

"Then you will never have such an opportunity in your life." Among the five people, Matsuda Jinpei's personality should be the most similar to Furutani Rei's.They are two extremely awkward guys, even if they are concerned, they have to say it in such a tone.

"By the way, Yuegang." Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was about to go out, suddenly leaned into the ear of a passer-by in Yuegang, "Happy birthday, look carefully under the snowman, there may be surprises."

After watching the two leave, the three stood in front of Ema.Because fewer people came to this shrine, the three of them quickly found the ema left by Zhufu and Furuya.

【Wish my friend happy forever, signed H. 】

[I wish the other four people a happy new year, sign 0. 】

The three of them watched in silence for a while and chose to hang their ema next to the two pieces.

[Everything goes well, signed Hagi. 】

[Come back soon, sign matu. 】

Matsuda and Hagiwara who hung up the ema turned their heads to look at Passer-by Tsukioka who was still writing.

[I hope those five idiots will be happy forever. 】The inscription is a Q-version alpaca.Although the two people who saw Tsukioka's blessing were also very moved, but.

"Who are you calling an idiot?" Matsuda Jinpei asked fiercely, strangling Tsukioka's neck.

"Does Xiaozuoka miss the parents so much?" Hagiwara Kenji rolled up his sleeves pretendingly, "It's time to let you know the majesty of the parents."

Although they will eventually go in different directions, the final result must be the same goal.
