The Tanizaki brothers and sisters sent the luggage unpacked in the stand apartment to Dazai's house. It is said that the damaged walls and door panels over there were also repaired and disposed of by the police.Huayi paid half a year's rent at the time, and although it was convenient to drive to the detective agency from the stand, it was still a bit far away... Well, it would be better to rent another house near the detective agency, right?However, she has found her own house, plus she has received a generous deposit from "Tsurumi Hana", and Hana feels that it is not good to stay at Dazai Osamu's house, so she has the idea of ​​moving back, but she still doesn't know how to mention it.

——But having said that, it is obviously a matter of course, why is she so guilty that she dare not mention it?

This is... a bit strange.

Even she was spurned by her own thoughts, but Hana still couldn't speak in time. After this delay, after returning from the port mafia office, Hana stayed at Dazai's house for another two or three days—the turning point was The landlady who came back from the trip suddenly called, saying that someone had sent her a package, and there was a strange text written on the sending address, and she took a photo and sent it to her.

Huayi quickly recognized the address above as the address of Mirufiore's head office, written in Italian, and it was already noon when she received the call, because the landlady said she was going to Osaka again tomorrow, so Huayi asked As soon as possible to pick up the package, Hua Yi took half a day off from the detective agency and took the tram to the stand.

It’s already winter, and the air-conditioned car is equipped with heating. Although it’s not the peak season, there are still a lot of people on the tram, and there are no vacant seats. Hold the pillars on the tram to stand firm, so as not to be staggered by the tram Huayi felt a chill in her abdomen, followed by intermittent cramps. She bit her lip, which was fading from blood, and clenched the armrest in her hand, probably guessing what was going on.

Huayi's living habits are not very good. She often eats ice cream in cold weather and stays up all night. Therefore, when her period is seldom regular, although she doesn't like to stay up so much recently, she still often drinks cold drinks. Speaking of which, she also ate yesterday. Here comes the ice cream.

——Ah, what shouldn’t be eaten...

Cold sweat dampened the hair that fell to her ears. When she looked up to see the platform notice in front of the tram, she heard heavy panting and someone approaching from behind.

Frowning slightly, she took a step forward and opened the distance before turning around, and she met the boy's sunny and clean smile.

"Miss, you seem to be a little uncomfortable." The boy's hair is black and brown, and he has beautiful sapphire eyes. He used his body to help her avoid the fat man who approached her just now. The side made a gesture and said, "Go to the side and take a rest? We are going to get off soon."

Because he mentioned "we", Hua Yi slightly looked away, and her eyes fell on the high school girl who was sitting on the seat not far away and looked over with a little worry.

"Thank you." After she thanked politely, she complied with the boy's arrangement and sat on the seat next to the high school girl. Seeing the "fat meat she got" run away, the overweight man's expression became ferocious and twitched for a moment, Staring at their direction with resentful eyes, the high school girl sitting next to Huayi obviously has a sense of justice, she immediately glared back angrily, opened her mouth to say something, the black-haired boy standing next to the seat quickly spoke She interrupted, "Speaking of Qingzi, didn't your father say to pick us up at the station? When will we be there?"

"It's already here, I'll get off at the next stop, Kaito, don't you know?" The girl called "Qingzi" looked back in confusion and asked back.

"I mean, what if there is something wrong with the police department? Then we have to find it by ourselves...By the way, miss, do you know which direction the police department in Shimoida is?" The black-haired boy turned to look at Pied dress.

Because of the sensitive message of "The Metropolitan Police Department" in the boy's words, the obese man who felt resentment hurriedly walked to the back of the carriage, knowing that the boy was deliberately helping her out, Hua Yi showed a sincere smile, shook her head and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know, uh...how should I call you guys? Kaito...kun?"

She asked hesitantly.

"I'm Kaito Kuroba, and that guy is Aoko Nakamori. Because the Nakamori Police Department just happened to be on a business trip, we came here to play." The black-haired boy glanced at the rear of the carriage, and said in a low voice, "Miss, that pervert It seems to be eyeing you, why don't you get off with us at the next stop, and then change vehicles?"

But changing cars is a hassle...

"Thank you, but there's no need," Hua Yi lied lightly, "There is someone picking me up from the platform, please don't worry."

After a brief chat, Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori got off the train at the next stop, waited for a few more platforms, and out of the corner of her eyes, Hua Yi, who got off the train at the stand, saw the pervert on the tram follow her off.

Hey, trouble.

The girl who was not in the mood to pay attention to him turned into a black alleyway next to him without a monitor. When the man hurriedly chased him in, a knife was suddenly nailed into the wall next to him, making his legs weak in fright. He slumped on the ground.

When he looked up, there was no girl in the dark alley even in broad daylight.

"See, hell!" After a long while, the man who shuddered and uttered these words rushed into the deep alley in a panic.

And around the corner, a thin man emerged from the shadows with an illusory figure, his eyes were fixed on the direction where the girl disappeared, and then he glanced at the position of the knife that gradually disappeared on the wall until there was no trace left behind, his expression was unclear , the light of the jewel on the ring finger in his hand flashed, and the man disappeared into the mist.

Huayi lived not far from the station. Not long after she walked out of the alley invisibly with illusion, she subconsciously looked behind her. There was a lot of people, but there was nothing strange about it.

——When getting off the station, the feeling of being targeted by someone is an illusion?Or is it just the perverted eyes of that tram?

No matter what.

Hua Yi, who was not feeling well, didn't care about so much. She got the key from Tanizaki Naomi after the police changed the lock, and bought Hua Yi in the supermarket for laundry. First, she went to the landlady's house to get the package, and then returned to herself Apartment on stand.

Because the rent has been paid, the water and electricity in the apartment can still be used normally. After she changed the wash, she covered her aching stomach with her palm and found that the water dispenser hadn’t been used for a long time, and the water in it was naturally undrinkable. She sighed Huayi obediently found the kettle from the cupboard to boil water. While waiting for the water to heat up, she returned to the sofa and opened the courier with the scissors she found in the desk drawer.

The package was a wooden box the size of a book. After opening the box, foam was piled inside to carefully protect the contents. She searched inside and found a greeting card, a ring and a box.

[Dear Leila:

Remember to call back when you receive it~]

There is no signature, but the shading of the greeting card is a simple and elegant sketch of white orchids.

Brother just loves being ambiguous about such details.

——Someone wants to call you.

Throwing the greeting card back into the wooden box, Hua Yi endured the abdominal cramps, clutched her cold stomach with difficulty, went back to the kitchen and turned off the fire, poured a cup of hot water, and slowly moved back to the sofa. After the water cooled, Sipping in small sips, he felt better after knowing that the warm water was pouring into his stomach and his limbs were slowly warming up. He fell on the sofa and curled up his body like a shrimp, picked up the mobile phone at hand, Dial the overseas phone.

【Ah, what a surprise, I actually got a call from Layla, have you received it yet?Rings and caskets. 】

Bai Lan's brisk and sweet voice came from the phone, without any gap, as if what happened in Ikebukuro two weeks ago was just her illusion.

However, Tsurumi Hana wasn't surprised at all. After all, she knew Bai Lan as well as Bai Lan knew her less—with double memories, she was his "another" in the eyes of Bai Lan who had parallel world memories. Sister" maybe.

"Hmm..." The voice dragged on for a while and she replied feebly. When she came out, she found that her voice was weaker than expected, so she pulled herself together and added, "I have received it. Give me the answer." What is this for?"

【Well, it will always come in handy.Is Leila uncomfortable? ] He said something meaningful, but the topic suddenly changed to her.

"It's a bit... so I hung up because you have nothing else to do." Hua Yi wanted to go to the room to lie down for a while.

[You should still be in the apartment at the stand, right?Don’t run around anymore today, or my brother will feel bad, sleep well, and someone will deliver things to the door later, Leila, don’t oversleep and forget to open the door~]

After a negligible pause, Bai Lan further reminded——

【Ah, by the way, although you know it, Layla, you have a poor memory, so don't forget...that box, unless it is absolutely necessary, don't use it indiscriminately. After all, Layla, you are a person with supernatural powers. 】

She said "uh" and said "I see" before hanging up the phone.

Too bad, my stomach hurts even more, go lie down for a while.

She got up on the soft cushion, drank the hot water on the coffee table, looked at the wooden box on the table, picked up the box and the ring, entered the room, and threw the things into the drawer of the bedside table. , curled up in the quilt on the bed, and gently closed his eyes.
