Sente Eiji's Black Friday

When I was convinced that Odasaku had contacted the armed detective agency, I destroyed the mobile phone I bought temporarily in the past few days, as well as the car and luggage I used in Yokohama, and took the Shinkansen back to Tokyo with light packing.

Osamu Dazai has not been heard from yet, but as long as Odasaku is in the detective agency, he will rush there like a cat attracted by catnip, I can be sure of that.

"——So, Master Eiji, I am really free from trouble now!"

Sitting in the car that came to pick me up, I announced loudly with a happy smile.

"That's really great! Congratulations, Instructor Kurosawa!" The handsome man in the driver's seat smiled and gave me a wink, full of charm as always.

"It's Natsume, hagi, Instructor Natsume! Didn't you listen carefully to what the above said? The instructor has been performing tasks under a false identity before!"

The little curly hair next to me patted the driver's seat in dissatisfaction before I could speak, causing the driver to beg for mercy with a smile: "I know, it's just that I haven't gotten used to it for a while! It's rare for the instructor to return to his identity after finishing the mission. , you should be happy too, Zhenping-chan."

"Ah? Who said I'm not happy! I'm obviously very happy!" Little Curly raised his sunglasses, revealing a pair of super fierce eyes like burning flames.

"This expression doesn't look happy, it's more like finding fault..."

"This is obviously a happy expression! Hagi, you bastard——"

"Pfft—hahahaha." I couldn't help laughing as I had been watching, and raised my hand to rub the curly hair of the person beside me, "You are still as energetic as ever, so I can rest assured! "

Two of my most beloved students—Matsuda Jinhei and Hagiwara Kenji were taken aback at the same time, and then the former looked away a little unnaturally, while the latter quickly showed a bright and bright smile, and said a little abruptly:

"I'm really very energetic, but let me tell you, instructor, actually, I have a friend. After he heard that you were coming back soon, he suddenly glowed with vitality that surprised even me who knows him best. !"

"Really?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes, yes!" Hagiwara began to shake his head exaggeratedly, "Ah, during the years when I couldn't contact you, my friend has been unable to think about food and drink, and can't sleep at night. Seeing it makes me feel distressed. Fortunately, you are finally here. I'm home!"

"Hey? That friend of yours is actually so worried about me?" I blinked my eyes in surprise, and asked with interest: "Who is that person? Since I can get the news of my return in advance like you, it should be that I am very worried." Familiar people?"

"This is-"

"Ahem!!" Matsuda next to me suddenly coughed twice, punched Hagiwara on the shoulder, interjected forcefully amidst his screams of pain and the violent shaking of the car: "Instructor, you must be tired, right? Are you going to eat first or go back to your residence first?"

"what?"

In fact, I’m fine, today I’m just riding in the car besides the car…

I blinked my eyes in confusion, looked at Hagiwara who was crying but seemed to be smiling, and then at the fierce little curly hair in front of me, swallowed the truth out of intuition, and went on following Matsuda's words: " You don’t need to eat, I have eaten on the Shinkansen.”

"Then let's send you home first." Matsuda's face softened a little, and the aggressive aura disappeared.

At this moment, he suddenly stared at my face for a while, and then he seemed to finally realize (caused by the aggressive questioning of me) that the distance between us was too close, and the roots of his ears turned red all of a sudden.

"Matsuda?" I tilted my head.

Matsuda Jinpei suddenly fell back like an electric shock, and fanned his face unnaturally: "Ah...well, the weather is getting hotter and hotter lately."

"Pfft." Hagiwara suffocated laughter in front of me, and then waved his hands with a smile under my puzzled gaze: "Ah, it's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something interesting."

"..." Matsuda knocked down the driver's seat with his knee in a flat and expressionless manner, causing the half-long-haired man's muffled laughter to intensify.

The two of them are acting strange today.

Is it because we haven't seen each other for so long?

I stroked my chin thoughtfully.

Hagiwara saw my movements from the rearview mirror, maybe he suddenly felt that he shouldn’t be so lively in front of the instructor. He restrained his smile a little guilty, and asked me with a smile instead: "Where is the instructor's current address? We Send you back."

When I heard the words, I realized that I hadn't thought about how to settle down after returning to Tokyo, so I gave up exploring the changes of the students, and started talking to myself distressedly:

"Well, that's right... the previous residence, because the identity was exposed, so I definitely can't go back, otherwise those guys will definitely come to chase me, maybe even Zero who is responsible for confirming whether I am dead will also be exposed... "

Matsuda and Hagiwara, who had been noisy all this time, suddenly quieted down, probably waiting for me to make up my mind.I ignored their silence and continued to list the locations in my mind.

"The organization's safe house is definitely not good. If it is my own safe house... there is a possibility of encountering zero, it is best not to rush there..."

In this case, there is only one way left.

I sighed helplessly: "Hagiwara, just send me to the nearest hotel."

"Huh? Are you kidding me? You, a hero who returned home with honor, are actually going to stay in a hotel?" Matsuda turned around suddenly, his eyes covered by sunglasses could not see any emotion, but his brows were tightly frowned.

Hagiwara in the front seat also showed disapproval, as if I had suffered a great grievance, which made me quite dumbfounded: "No, the higher ups actually offered me a rewarding house, but I refused."

"Why? You deserve it!" Matsuda became even more excited when he heard this.

Because I can't live for a few days, sweetie.

I showed a flawless smile, and triumphantly pulled out a card: "Of course it's because the house is not as real as the money! Compared with the villa, I really like bonuses more!"

Matsuda choked suddenly, his face immediately filled with speechlessness, Hagi principle laughed a few times, and quickly answered my words: "Okay, okay, Jinpei-chan, it's okay for the instructor to use the bonus to buy the house he likes by himself. It's the same!"

"...Of course I know that." Matsuda seemed to be helplessly rolling his eyes, paused, and suddenly asked me casually: "So...that guy's mission, hasn't he finished yet?"

"No." Of course I knew who he was talking about, and couldn't help but sighed with a wry smile, "Jing Guang and I have been exposed, and now he is the only one who insists on it. ——Well, you have heard this before." Just forget, don’t spread rumors or explore, let alone mention him in normal times.”

"We know, instructor." Hagiwara's expression became serious, and Matsuda nodded accordingly.

I smiled at them and picked something easy to change the subject.

After chatting for a while, Matsuda, who had been silent since just now, suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to me.

I noticed that his face was a little red: "? What's wrong?"

"...Contact information." Little Curly said in a low voice, and his eyes drifted to the side again, "Since your mission is over, you can always tell me your contact information... and where did you go?" Department?"

I was slightly taken aback, and Hagi Principle in the front seat was moved: "Jinpei-chan, you finally—"

"It's so long-winded! Show me the way!!" Matsuda Zhenping roared, not only his face, but even his neck was red.

Really, don't you just want the contact information of the handsome instructor, what's there to be shy about?

I showed a loving smile, and while I said yes, I reached out to take his mobile phone.

At this moment, I caught something out of the corner of my eye, and I couldn't help looking away: "... Huh? What are those people by the river doing?"

"Huh?" As the driver, Hagiwara slowed down the speed of the car, turned his head to follow my line of sight, and then involuntarily turned serious, "That seems to be... wait, is someone trying to jump into the river?!"

I frowned, and looked carefully towards the center through the crowd of onlookers, always having an ominous premonition in my heart.

In the next second, I met a pair of extremely familiar eyes.

"--parking!!"

Suddenly there was an extremely stern voice from the back seat. Kenji Hagiwara, who suspected that someone on the bridge was going to jump into the river, did so decisively, but before he could slow down the speed of the car, the man who asked him to stop opened the door and jumped out of the car in a hurry.

"Hey, instructor!" Matsuda Jinpei was taken aback, and quickly turned around and lay down on the rear window to see if he was safe, but before he could see Natsume Eiji's figure clearly, screams came from the river bank one after another .

He was taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look at the place where the crowd was surging, just in time to see a thin figure jump off the bridge and plunge directly into the rushing river!

"Jinpei-chan! That person really jumped!!" Kenji Hagiwara's expression changed suddenly, he slammed on the brakes, opened the car door and rushed out, "Please call the police and an ambulance! Hurry up!!"

"Tsk, I really don't know how to cherish life..."

Matsuda Zhenping was dissatisfied, but actually got out of the car without delay, and frowning on the phone while running there.

At this moment, there was another scream, and Matsuda Zhenping looked up, and happened to see a blue figure climb over the railing with one hand, and jumped down without hesitation!

His pupils shrank, and he blurted out an anxious cry: "Instructor——!"

After a few minutes.

Natsume Eiji took the young man who fell into the water and surfaced, coughing and swimming towards the shore.

The sirens of police cars and ambulances could be heard in the distance. Hagiwara and Matsuda, who had been waiting anxiously on the shore, saw him swimming over. One extended his hand to him, and the other took off his coat and covered his head, and then started Pull the drowning man in his arms.

Of course, he couldn't pull it.

Natsume Eiji went ashore wearing Matsuda's suit jacket, sat on the ground with his butt dripping wet, and shook the person in his arms angrily: "Hey, let go."

Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei were taken aback: ...someone they know?

The young man in the sand-colored windbreaker didn't seem to hear it, he still hugged Ying Er's waist tightly, and curled up in his arms tremblingly, making it clear that he didn't want to let go.

Natsume Eiji twitched the corners of his mouth, and sighed bitterly.

He didn't explain anything to the two students, and he didn't insist on letting the young man let go of himself. Instead, he obviously put other things as the top priority, and took the lead in digging out one pocket.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, he who was originally frowning quickly showed a relieved expression, and happily took out a small dark red suede box.

Seeing him calm down and holding the small box tightly in his hand, Hagiwara Kenji blinked, and carefully glanced at the silent young boy beside him.

Of course, this scene was also reflected in the eyes of the young man in the man's arms.His withered leaf-colored eyes became completely pitch black under the cover of bangs, and there was not even a trace of light in them, and his expressionless face was inexplicably palpitating.

At the same time, on the bridge where no one is paying attention——

A thin figure who didn't fit in with the crowd stood alone for a while, then quietly stepped back and blended into the continuous crowd.
