[Bungo Stray Dogs] Bless the world

"Oh, your injury is really just right."

"...Please don't scare me." Lying on the operating table, Xiangli looked at Dr. Akiko with twitching corners of her mouth. Although she had heard it often before, trying it out was indeed... a very scary experience.

"Ah, I will try my best to be as light as possible." The moment he spoke, a sharp fruit knife quickly cut off the carotid artery of the girl on the operating table.

When the door of the operating room opened, Xiangli, who touched her neck with lingering fear, came out, looked at Naomi who was resting on one side of the hospital bed, and Tanizaki-kun who fell asleep and was waiting for the next treatment.

"..." So I was injured a little more seriously than Tanizaki-kun?

...Maybe Akiko-san will not be so "gentle" when she treats Tanizaki-kun.

It is a novel experience to have the carotid artery cut open and then to be resurrected with full blood, but it would be better to have less of this kind of experience, it is best... not to.

"Ah, Kunikida-kun?" When he walked to the ward a little outside, he saw the anxious Kunikida, so he subconsciously called out, and the latter dropped his notebook on the ground with a trembling hand.

"Shari, are you alright?" He stood up and picked up the notebook in a hurry, and Xiangli looked past him and landed on Atsushi who was lying on the bed, "What's wrong with Atsushi? I wanted to ask just now, you were attacked Is it?" She frowned, although the detective agency will deal with some incidents in the gray area that the government cannot control, but such an attack, there are really not many people who can do it.

Hearing Kaori's question, Kunikida didn't answer her directly, but changed the subject and asked, "What's the matter with your injury?"

"Me?" Xiangli pointed to her nose, and smiled after a while, "Well, I was unlucky, it exploded. Some idiot I didn't know planted a bomb in the police station. I was too unlucky to bring I just happened to meet a child who was lost with her parents when she was looking for help. Ah——" When she said this, she asked as if thinking of something, "How is that child?"

"You have to ask Kenji-kun who brought you back." Kunikida replied with folded arms.

At this time, she heard a sound coming from the hospital bed, Xiangli glanced at it, and mouthed to Kunikida, "Then I'll go first." Then she opened the door lightly, and slipped out lightly.

After confirming from Kenji-kun that the child had been taken away by his parents, Xiangli breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but look at his back in the mirror when no one was looking-although there would be no one left Any scars, but—sure enough it still hurts.

"Miss Xiangli, are you alright?" Haruno saw Xiangli looking at her back in the mirror as soon as she walked into the bathroom, "I was shocked when Kenji-kun brought you back."

"Well, it's all right." Xiangli nodded to reassure the other party.

"I heard that the criminals planted a bomb in the police station?" Haruno walked to Xiangli's side and helped her button up the buttons behind her back. "It's really too much. This kind of thing completely disregards the safety of the people around you."

"Criminals are called criminals precisely because they don't care about the safety of innocent people around them." Xiangli tidied up her clothes, but Qi Luozi couldn't help asking, "Why? gone?"

"I'm not sure... I just passed that person."

"Who?"

"The man who planted the bomb in the police station."

"Eh?"

"—It's a..." Xiangli's voice softened.

"Is?"

"No, it's nothing, maybe I read it wrong. Maybe it's just an ordinary person who happened to pass by."

——It's... a thin and lonely figure from the back.

——With such an excuse, I can't help but want to find an excuse for the owner of the back—this is from my own mood, I don't know why I am so sad and entangled.

If you look closely at the feelings at that time, if you didn't hold the child with your hand, maybe you couldn't help reaching out and grabbing that person's hand at that time.

—Why are you there?

—Who are you?Why...it looks so sad, so lonely, so...familiar?

"Miss Xiangli? Miss Xiangli?!" Qi Luozi's call woke Xiangli up from her daze.

"what?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you still not feeling well? Do you want to take a rest?"

"...Okay." Xiangli nodded with a smile, and seemed to think of something after a while, "Well... let's decide like this."

"What was decided?" Kirako looked at Xiangri who was showing a playful smirk, and shook herself first.

"If I meet the guy who made me go to Ms. Akiko's operating table, I will pack him up and stuff it with Ms. Akiko, and let her use it to practice her abilities." Xiangli clapped her hands, only 17 years old She smiled like a pure and innocent angel.

However, only people from the Armed Detective Agency can understand what kind of deep meaning is contained in this sentence...

——Miss Kari, you really are a scary person.

However, as the saying goes, "Fortunes never come singly", at one o'clock in the afternoon, when I took the elevator up to the fourth floor with the ramen I made for Kenji-kun, I happened to meet a group of people dressed in black...why? See how suspicious people are.

The leader was a very retro old man in a black windbreaker, for which Xiangli gave way a little bit, "Well... are you going to the fourth floor?" Xiangli smiled at the black-clothed uncle who had squeezed into the elevator Said.

"..." Is there something wrong with this little girl's mind? !Talking to the mafia so blatantly, hey? !

"Well, yes." To everyone's surprise, Guangjin Liulang nodded.

"That's it," the girl nodded, "I delivered food to the newspaper office on the third floor. But I just called and couldn't get through... It's really troublesome." Saying this, she took a step forward, "Everyone is crowded The elevator will be overweight when entering, so I'll wait for the next one."

A hand was put on her shoulder, "No need, I'm not overweight."

"..." Xiangli had no choice but to smile and stand there motionless.

My luck has been really bad recently.

The girl was thinking like this, but she turned her head inadvertently and saw the masked...boy standing aside?Uh... it should be... a girl, right?

When the elevator reached the third floor, the door opened and closed, but no one got out.

"Well, it's the third floor—I'm going down."

"Go directly to the fourth floor." The old man put his hand on Xiangli's shoulder, "It was originally given to the detective agency."

"..."

"Little girl, you are really not suitable for lying." Guangjin Liulang said slowly, as if teaching an ignorant child in the house, "So, please come with us, for now."

—Ah, when did this strange bad luck start?

Xiangli couldn't help but sighed from the bottom of her heart.
