stand-in creed

"I have to go now."

"……Um."

"From tomorrow onwards, I will probably continue to search for the criminal in Moriou Town, so I may not be able to accompany you all day like today."

"It's okay, after all, business matters!"

What's more, the person to be arrested is the prisoner who killed himself.Suzumi Sugimoto thought.

But Nero thought of the dilapidated and unlit Sugimoto's house, the old books that had been flipped through, and the girl's yearning expression when she mentioned the outside world. He hesitated for a while before continuing.

"But I should be able to spare some time to come and have a look. After all, Duwang Town is not very big."

"Ok!"

The girl's smile was obviously brighter.

Nero nodded: "Then... I'm leaving?"

Sugimoto Suzumi hurriedly said, "I'll see you off!"

The two walked forward quietly.

In a short distance, the two walked for a full 5 minutes until they sent Nero to the entrance of the alley.

After saying goodbye again, Nero finally left.Seeing Nero's back gradually going away, the girl's face was filled with a smile that she didn't realize, but immediately there was a touch of disappointment on her face.But soon the disappointment on the girl's face dissipated, and a few smiles appeared again.

After returning home, he was not in a hurry to open the door, but sat quietly on the steps in front of the door, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

"...Tomorrow, you will come too, right?

"If it's a dream, I really don't want to wake up."

Chapter 51 Pearl Jam Part [-]

Although the day away from the world in the alley reminded Nero of enjoying afternoon tea in Rome, listening to his favorite music, and leisurely sitting on the sofa playing games all afternoon, but now Du Wang Ding didn't have much time for Nero to enjoy.

A whole day is already a luxury.

The next morning, Nero came to Sugimoto's house with breakfast as agreed the day before. After having breakfast with the girl, he embarked on a detective journey to find the criminal.

Meanwhile, Yoshihiro Kira is here.

In the photo, Yoshihiro Kira is yawning boredly, hiding under the edge of the school bed and listening to the boring math class. Even the idea of ​​"find the culprit who disturbed his son's life earlier" has faded a lot. knock off.

There is no other reason. The three of Dongfang Jousuke never mentioned where the detective named Nero was in their usual chats.

This is also a matter of course, as if you invite a friend you have known for many years to have dinner at home, you will never deliberately repeat your home address, it is meaningless.

The only hope is when these three guys can't think about it.

After class, Hongcun Yitai said excitedly.

"Hey, Jousuke, Koichi, are you going to eat something after school?"

"Eat?" Jousuke asked.

"What to eat?" Kang Yi asked.

"I also heard it from the girls in other classes when I passed by other classes occasionally, there is a very good Italian restaurant in Morioh Town!" Nijimura Yiyasu said seriously.

Kira Yoshihiro has little interest in this.

As a ghost living in the photo, Yoshihiro Kira has gradually forgotten what it feels like to eat. He is not even sure whether the ghost has the function of eating. After all, his son Yoshikage has never cooked anything for himself. Will have lunch with the hand-in-hand.

But since it's his own son, it doesn't matter.

Just when Kira Yoshihiro was about to yawn again, Jousuke suddenly said.

"Italian food? Speaking of which, Nero is also an Italian, so why don't you ask him to go with him after school?" Jousuke said solemnly.

"Huh?" Yoshihiro Kira asked.

"Huh?" Koichi Hirose asked.

"Are there two voices?"

Hongcun Yitai scratched his head and began to look around.

Kira Yoshihiro tightly covered his mouth.

Josuke yawned, "Maybe you got it wrong, Okuyasu."

Yitai nodded: "Yeah, I'm not very smart after all."

Kang Yi was a little speechless: "It doesn't matter if you are smart or not, right? But Jousuke, do you want Nero to go with you?"

Jousuke nodded: "Of course. Although I really want to use the touching rhetoric of "eating hometown food in a foreign country", but you think, Nero is a real Italian, right?And once you get along with him, you will know that this guy has a very picky mouth, and many delicious things can only be evaluated as "okay" in his mouth.

"He is completely different from the Japanese who always say "delicious" or "Juicy" when asked about the taste, no matter how bad they are.

“It’s as if Chinese people come to Japan and complain that real Chinese restaurants don’t have fortune cookies or General Tso’s chicken! Just take Nero and we’ll know whether this Italian restaurant is “authentic” or not. No fake Italian food fooling us! "

"That's right? You're so smart, Jousuke!" Okuyasu said excitedly.

"...Well, yes?" Kang nodded.

"I said Koichi, it shouldn't be my illusion, are you a little afraid of Nero?" Jousuke said curiously.

"Hey, eh?"

"Well, Kang Yi, don't be too scared." Yitai said seriously.

"Although that guy is a guy who almost chopped off my head when I first met him, he is even scarier than Mike Corleone in the movie, and more like the boss of the Italian mafia! But you only need to spend more time with him You get to know him a lot, and he's actually a nice guy."

"Did you really say that you almost cut off your head? Did you really say that? Shouldn't you be more afraid!"

Kang Yi yelled.

However, at this moment, a scalp-numbing female voice came.

"What is Kang Yijun afraid of?"

She has a beautiful figure, fair skin, a face like an iceberg, and curly black hair like a waterfall.

It was Yukako Yamagishi.

"Ah, Yuhanako-san!"

Kang Yi was surprised.

To be honest, Dongfang Jousuke couldn't figure out what was going on between Koichi and Yukako recently, just like he couldn't figure out what his grandfather muttered, "Don't get stuck in it".But Josuke Higashika, who had been with Nero for a while, was sure of one thing——

Yukiko Yamagishi is not someone who needs to be sent to a hospital or to hell.perhaps.

"Yo, Yuhanako-san!"

Yiyasu did not have such confusion as Dongfang Jousuke, because he didn't have it at all, and he didn't need to think about it.

He just simply said hello to the female classmate who came over: "We are talking about going to an Italian restaurant with Jousuke's Italian relative named Nero after school. Koichi seems to be a little scared of him."

"Really, Kang Yi?"

"Hey, eh?!"

Yamagishi Yuhanako's gaze sharpened.

Even Josuke and Otoya who were standing next to each other had the feeling of being watched by the grade director while playing games, let alone Koichi, the main target of their eyes.

Kang Yi was a little panicked: "No, I'm not that scared, it's just a little bit special, after all, that Nero is not in the ordinary sense..."

"That can't be done, Koichi-kun!" Yukako Yamagishi said seriously.

"Kang Yi-kun must become a man of indomitable spirit! The more afraid you are, the more you have to overcome it, so--Jousuke-kun, Yi Yasu-kun, can you take me to dinner with you? Of course I won't have the cheek to forcefully follow, That's rude, so I'll treat dinner to you, but be sure to bring your relative who frightens Koichi.

"I must let Kang Yijun correct this timid character and become a real man!"

Jousuke was surprised: "Are you going too?!"

Yitai Yixi: "Your treat?!"

The focus of the two is not the same.

However, the result is the same, that is, there will be one more person going to the Italian restaurant tonight.

Kira Yoshihiro outside the window was also in tears.

A few days?

How long has it been?

A solitary photo of myself was exposed to the wind and sun outside, and I finally got information about Nero. I don’t know if my son Jiying is eating well and sleeping soundly these days.

Kira Yoshihiro wiped his tears with his sleeve, his eyes gradually became sharper.

Betting on the honor of the ancestors of the Kira family, we must reveal the true face of this detective!

Chapter 52 Pearl Jam II

Duwang Hotel, Room 324.

Nero, who had just finished a day of investigation, had just taken a shower and was walking around the room in a loose white bathrobe when the doorbell rang.

"Why are you here, Jousuke, Okuyasu, Koichi, and...uh."

Nero saw the fine-looking girl following the three boys.

Although a little confused, it only took a second to understand that this girl was probably the Yamagishi Yukako they had mentioned to themselves before.

"You are Yuhuako Yamagishi, right? I've heard them talk about you, so please give me your advice when we meet for the first time."

"Please advise, Mr. Zeppelin."

Yamagishi Yukako also heard Nero's full name on the way here.

Nero nodded: "I didn't expect them to bring girls together, please forgive me if they are not neatly dressed. Please sit in the living room first, and I will go to the cloakroom to change clothes—Josuke, there is a freshly burnt cloth on the cabinet over there." Good water, treat some classmates to tea or coffee for me."

"Ah, um."

Jousuke touched his head in a subtle mood.

Shouldn't I be the elder?

Although I thought about it for a while, I still acted like a junior in the family to invite people into the house and help make coffee.

Only Kang Yi's expression was tense.

If he remembered correctly, during the so-called "I heard them talk about you", Nero Zeppelin seemed to ask himself seriously if he wanted to help him deal with Yukako Yamagishi.

Is it really appropriate for these two people to meet?

Yuhanako-san won't be killed for saying the wrong thing in a while, right?

And why is it that you can still say hello in a serious manner now that you have said such scary things before!

After a while.

Nero, who looked like a dog, came out, and after learning from several people that he was going to an Italian restaurant, Nero had a strange expression: "It won't be Italian like "Hawaiian pizza" or "Doria rice". restaurant? "

Hearing Nero's question, Nijimura Yiyasu patted his chest confidently.

"I don't know! Brother Nero, you said it, if you don't know, you don't know, even if you kill us!"

"I! @#￥%..."

Nero felt a little uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it, he nodded: "Okay, let's go with you. But you just said that it was Hanako's treat? I'll invite you for this meal. How can someone my age go out to eat without a job?" The reason why students treat guests."

Yamagishi Yukako just opened her mouth: "But..."

Nero waved his hand: "There's nothing but, it's settled."

In Nero's opinion, this is actually a very normal little thing.

But in the eyes of the three of Jousuke, especially Kang, it seems that they have seen a ghost-is there anyone more powerful than Yukako Yamagishi in this world?

But on second thought.

oh!It's Nero, that's all right.

A car, five people—and a photo pasted on the chassis, leisurely drove towards the destination.

Not a bustling shopping street.
