[Comprehensive] A good snake has a safe life

"Are you OK?"

After the whole dinner party, people gathered around Zongxiang who wanted to express their closeness to 4, and they all went together, which made Shelley feel dense and frightened.

Just as Shelley thought, Munakata was very popular in high society—at least in the high society she saw, and it seemed to have a lot of praise, so that the protagonist of this banquet was put aside.

"Why didn't you stay by Munakata's side?"

Sakashita picked up two pieces of spicy chicken diced when there were few people, looked around and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.

"I was squeezed out." The snake girl rubbed her hair: "And why did the spicy chicken appear at the dinner party?"

"Because some people can't control themselves even if they have a stomach like a sack~"

A golden-haired girl appeared beside the black-haired girl, and the shadow cast by the tall figure under the light completely covered Sakashita.Shelley obviously saw that Sakashita was a little embarrassed, and he lowered his face after swallowing the food.

"Didn't you go to get close to the gold side?"

"It's over, I thought about coming back to feed, but..." The man reached out and rubbed Sakashita's head heavily: "I found that some people are disobedient..."

Sakashita slapped Golden Retriever's hand off without saying a word, and hid behind Shelley.

"Get rid of him quickly."

"Uh..." The snake girl who sat on the plywood unknowingly met the eyes of the golden retriever who seemed to be smiling, and resolutely protected the girl behind her: "No."

"To be honest, I've been thinking about a question."

After successfully and easily chasing Sakashita's followers away, Shelley pulled the black-haired girl onto the balcony, breathing heavily in the cool night wind: "Why are you so easy to invite me to change jobs? Of course I know that my fighting ability is very strong, but this is not the reason why you speak. As long as you say something, you should be sure of success, so... why. "

Shelley asked, "Why do you think I'm swinging."

"I don't like to do profiling outside of work hours, it's considered disrespectful. But if you must listen, I can give my opinion."

Sakashita felt a little headache from the wind, and took a few steps back to wrap himself in the velvet curtain.

"Overall, there was no enthusiasm."

"……Eh."

Shelley waited for Sakashita's next words, but did not wait for a long time: "... gone?"

"No more." Sakashita said, "Isn't that enough?"

"Of course not enough! When it comes to enthusiasm, you don't have much, do you? And a few hours ago you were still saying that you are only suitable for this job!"

"Then do you think you are suitable?"

The silver-haired girl choked.

"The work is indeed in place, but think about it for yourself, are you pushing yourself? If you think not, then what do you think is the reason for your lack of enthusiasm?"

"Can't you see it?"

"I'm just a human being. At most, I can see that you like Munakata so much, but at the same time you hate certain special features of him, and your feelings about the current organization are extremely complicated. I can't know your past. , can only speculate based on what you have shown now, but as I said, it is disrespectful."

Sakashita felt cold, so he opened the door.

"But if you want to make any changes now, no one else can help you except yourself. For example, I made an invitation, but you didn't respond, so you can only continue in your current state."

"It's not like I can only rely on your invitation to change the status quo."

The person who heard this turned his head and looked at her with some sympathy.

Shelley was a little annoyed.

She sat in the car on the return journey and looked at the scenery without saying a word, and the man next to him who had been drinking also exuded a somewhat confused aura—Munakata leaned loosely on the cushion, completely out of the ordinary Tall and straight, resting with eyes closed.

Are you drunk too much?

Shelley occasionally saw Munakata's side face on the reflected car window, although it was very fresh to see this person with his eyes and mouth closed, but the annoyance after talking with Sakashita just now still lingered in his heart go.She thought many times about asking the driver to take Munakata back and she would walk around alone, but she gave up.

In fact, you can get Munakata back first and then come out by yourself.

Shelley thought so, so she took the car with peace of mind.When approaching Tsubaki Gate, Munakata opened his eyes as if he had had enough rest.

"Please stop at the park entrance ahead, please."

And after parking the car, he got out of the car and took Shelley out.

"...Did you drink too much?"

"Not to the point of drinking too much."

After saying goodbye to the driver and confirming that there is no need to send Tsubaki back, Shelley and Munakata had such a conversation.Although Munakata said calmly that he could drink reasonably, Shelley was still skeptical.

"It's just that Mr. Shelley needs to blow some air to calm down." Munakata pushed his glasses: "After all, he looked a little anxious a while ago."

"You... noticed?"

"Mr. Shelley needs to use such a surprised tone. To be honest, I am a little surprised." Munakata said: "Responsibility for the physical and mental health of pets is the most basic task of a pet owner, I think."

go to hell.

Shelley's face darkened, and she thought of many things that made her unhappy, such as the scientific breeding guide.

"Oh yeah."

Munakata smiled happily: "It seems that my attempt to ease the atmosphere failed."

... Where did he think that these words could ease the atmosphere!

The barrage in Shelley's mind was already able to shield the face in front of him, and after a few deep breaths, Shelley began to walk on his own, leaving his immediate boss behind.

"Since you said that you are responsible for my physical and mental health, then..." Shelley asked, "Do you think there are any similarities or differences between me and the previous generation 4 and the current new players?"

"This is a very difficult question. Do you have any supplementary questions?"

"Awashima said that compared to a rookie, I was more like a member of the previous generation who had no expectations for the future. Sakashita said that I have no enthusiasm for 4, and said that I can change jobs to the police."

"Would Sakashita criminal also do this kind of action behind his back? He really can't be judged by his appearance."

"Is this the point!"

"No, it's just that I want to say other things than comment on the evaluation of these two people."

Munakata did not know when she walked side by side with her: "Probably before the first batch of new players left the team, Shelley and I discussed why Shelley stayed in 4."

Shelley remembered what she said back then, in order not to let herself regret.

"'It's just that I don't want to make myself regret it.' It's a very powerful sentence." Munakata raised the corner of his mouth: "And I have been thinking about what so-called regret is since then."

"So do you have any conclusions?"

"Since handing over a group of newcomers to Shelley, I am very happy to see that Shelley has devoted himself to teaching swordsmanship, both at work and in private, and even how to let those who are not so gregarious It took a lot of time for them to become more gregarious. It is reasonable to say that such dedication should be respected and loved, as well as sought after by the stars, but..."

Munakata looked at Shelley calmly: "You are avoiding such a scene intentionally or unintentionally, Shelley."

"I just think it's noisy."

"There is a reason for what people do. No matter how much you deny it, the innermost driving force always exists. I don't think Shelley is a dedicated personality—for example, the big Besan who doesn't meet his own wishes is He simply abandoned it neatly, but Mr. Daomingsi, who is more difficult to deal with than Da Besang, has always been treated patiently. I can only think that Shelley is a person who protects the short-term very well in a broad sense. So a short-term protector very powerful people are far away from the group she is trying to protect..."

Shelley suddenly felt a little sad.

"Are you afraid of something?"

The silver-haired figure froze, and subconsciously stepped back, but was stopped by the arm that had been lying behind his back for a long time.

"Like, fear of being hurt?"

"I do not have."

Shelley didn't know how long it took her to say these three words, and it took her a long time to say these three words smoothly and completely.

"I guess I'm just...envious of you guys."

This is real.

"No matter what the reason, everyone seems to have dreams and goals. It may be to build an orderly society of supernatural beings, or they may just want to take the civil service exam, or be pushed in by their father. But... everyone They're all working towards it. It may be a dream, it may be a playful attitude, but the feeling of being alive is real."

Shelley looked at the moon and narrowed his eyes.

"How should I put it... very desperate."

Because there is only one life, everything I do seems to be for the sake of making life more exciting. It makes Shelley feel that even a drop of sweat flowing down his forehead or an unskilled handover of work is as strong as the visible step by step of fate. heavy.However, for her, it seems that it doesn't matter what she does, because the future is doomed.

"Such a person is really suitable for giving something, but if it's something in return, I think it's better to forget it." Shelley lifted a lock of hair and put it around her fingertips: "Wait until the relationship is too deep. When it’s time to leave, it will be sad again.”

In the following world, I began to miss hopelessly again, and then I was attracted by other people, and then I gradually forgot about them, and the cycle went on and on, with no idea where it started or where it ended.

When she wants to think of Skuvalo now, she still has a happy and a little sour-sweet feeling, but Shelley can't remember any clearer things; she still remembers the long years of ancient Sumer, as handsome as a god. The King of Heroes with red eyes, the charming goddess, and the boy standing quietly behind her; how far away...

There was a very nasty imp and a fat man in the dump;

There are three very annoying and lovely little ghosts and a sick and consumptive ghost in the village.

Do they remember her?I should have remembered it.

Perhaps it is deep in the bone marrow, and can be drawn all the time, or maybe there is only a vague impression left, which makes people pass by in a flash, and only feels that they have forgotten something unimportant.She should be just a moment in their lives, but to her, every moment is worth remembering.

But so what, she will slowly forget.Although I knew that forgetting was inevitable, I was still haunted by a kind of pain in my heart.If she doesn't think about it, she can pretend not to know, but once she thinks about it...

It's like losing a piece of my life time and time again.

But this group of people was so alive, so alive that she couldn't help but want to get closer.Let me tell you if this is wrong, and if it’s not right, I can come to help, so I entered other people’s lives with a little distance without knowing it.

It sucks.

Shelley thought so.

To put it bluntly, let Munakata fire her.

Shelley suddenly had this whimsical idea, and had already thought of the scene where she jumped to Sakashita to eat the chocolate in her safe after being kicked out.

But good things are rare, and Shelley's delusion was interrupted by Munakata's kind tone.

"Let me remind you, Mr. Shelley probably doesn't want to experience it."

"The fate of leaving the team without my permission."
