“...... How's it going for you?"

"There are no doctors and no nurses...... No problem, it's time to come out. ”

The sun is shining on a Sunday at the Kabido Central Hospital, and the clean, cream-colored floor reflects the green shadows of the trees in the courtyard. There weren't many people in the air-conditioned hospital lobby, and it was so quiet that you could hear the conversation coming from the direction of the inpatient department without much effort. Although the content of their conversation did not give people a glimpse of the truth, the moment they appeared in the hospital lobby, it still attracted the attention of a considerable number of people.

There were four of them. Except for the silver-haired woman with a delicate figure and beautiful appearance who walked in front, the other three looked like teenagers who were still minors.

The silver-haired boy walking on the left looked somewhat similar to the woman, but it was completely different from her, with the corners of his mouth curled and his back hunched, and his whole body overflowed with a heavy feeling of laziness. The tea-haired boy on the right is tall, and a pair of thin-framed glasses that reflect the light make people unable to see clearly, but he can still taste some elegance from his gestures. Walking between the two was a dark-haired teenager with his hands in his trouser pockets. He wears a dark blue T-shirt with a skull on his chest, white shorts on the bottom, a pair of large pink sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and dark and sharp black eyes looming behind the lenses.

With the appearance of several people, several girls in sailor suits in the hall suddenly whispered with a little excitement-

"Look at it, those guys—"

"Wow, you're handsome!"

"Could it be some kind of new idol group? Look, the one in front looks like an agent!"

"How could this be! This is a hospital, how can an artist ......?"

"That's that, that, a health check before debut, or something. ”

"Possibly, why don't we ask?"

"Still don't, I'm sorry...... Ah, they've seen it!"

"It's really handsome, that silver-haired one!"

"Eh, I like that tea-haired guy more, don't you think he's a bit of an English deacon?"

"The one in the middle is not bad, it's pretty cute!"

Listening to the unbridled talk of the girls, the black-haired teenager grabbed his short hair in embarrassment, and walked out of the building stiffly under the screams of the girls "Ah, shy!" and "so cute!", rolled his eyes at the people on the left and right who were obviously laughing, and sighed weakly.

"Ahh......h Why do I have to dress up like this?"

"Of course, dumb!" the silver-haired boy poked her head, "You're seriously ill, and it's not a joke to be found out by your horrible grandmother!"

"What's so serious? It's just that I'm unlucky to have a little injury, so why make such a fuss. The black-haired boy took off his sunglasses and narrowed his eyes, "And what I care about is ...... Werewolf-san, I remember you said you were here to visit the sick, so why didn't you bring not only two sets of clothes, but also something strange like a wig and contact lenses?"

"It's rude to say 'weird stuff'!" Nioh pouted, pulling up his pigtail and sweeping it around his lips, "It's just that I saw a reduced price on the way to the hospital, and I thought it was a good fit and I bought it." ”

T-shirts and shorts, why are there even prices for wigs and contact lenses?"

"Yes, of course...... It just so happened ......" Nioh's eyes rolled, and one turned to Yanagi's side, putting his elbow on his shoulder, "You said yes?

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention. Yanagi replied with a smile, pushing his glasses in the other party's suddenly dangerous eyes, "Ah, but after you said it, I think I've seen a big sale near the station, but I don't know what it sells." ”

"Well done. Nioh muttered in his ear, patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and smiled at Nao, "Well, that's it." ”

"Since Yagyu said so......" Nao nodded, obviously accepting the statement. She looked at Nioh's T-shirt, pulled up her own shirt and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh, "But Werewolf-san, you really like the color blue...... But why skeletons?

"Ah, well, almost. Nioh chuckled dryly twice in Yanagi's knowing but pitiful eyes, and a large bead of sweat ran down the back of his head.

- Pirate culture is not the point at all, is it good!

"Hey—it's too slow, boys!"

Nioh Mirai, who was walking in front, had already driven out the car and parked on the side of the road, waving at the three people who were still rubbing at the gate, "You guys are going to Shibuya, right? I'll send you there!"

"Oh, great help, big sister!" Nioh lazily raised his hand at her, turned back to Nao and Yanagi and smiled, "Let's go, it's time to get down to business." ”

The two nodded, and walked with Nioh towards the future car.

Although Nao has been living in Tokyo for more than two months, she has never been outside of Kakudo Town and the neighboring Rice Flower Town, let alone busy areas such as Shibuya and Shinjuku. The crowd in Shibuya on Sunday left Nao, who grew up in the relatively remote city of Okinawa, a little confused. The steel jungle, the strangely dressed young people, and the heat wave from the air conditioner all make her feel like she is in another world—new but unable to fit in. She looked up at the towering skyscrapers, realizing for the first time that she had left the land she loved so much, the simple and welcoming Okinawa. The sudden uneasiness blew on her skin like the cold air of Shibuya AT Plaza, making her cold from head to toe, and she followed Nioh's future steps indifferently.

"I'm going to be abducted by Uncle Blame if I'm in a daze here," Nioh said in her ear with his elbow, seemingly unintentionally, pressing his elbow on her right shoulder, "If you're uncomfortable, just say it, and don't rush to investigate or anything." ”

The sudden extra weight on her shoulders pulled Nao back to reality, and the boy's cool body temperature instantly dispelled her uneasiness. She was a little surprised that Nioh, who didn't like to be too close to people, would take the initiative to touch her, but the surprise in her heart quickly dissolved into the boy's slightly uninhibited smile that buried worry in the depths.

“...... I'm fine. Nao hid her expression in the shadows under the sea, forcibly suppressed the inexplicable feeling of fullness in her chest, and took a deep breath to barely calm herself, "The interval between the first few cases was about five days, and now it has been two days since Natsu was attacked. There can be no further delay, if you want to avoid the recurrence of the victim. ”

"I knew ......" Nioh sighed, patted her on the head, turned to Yanagi and said, "Hey, Yanagi, your family runs a clinic......, right?

"Don't worry," Yanagi's glasses flashed with a white glow, "I'll notice if Saotome has symptoms of anemia." ”

"Then I'll leave it to you, Hirusan!" Nioh smiled and waved his hand.

“...... Is that what you mean by inviting me to call you 'Masaji-kun'?" Yanagi was silent for a second, then resolutely chose to turn his head, "Then we're going to ChristianLouboutin's counter now. I just looked at the map at the entrance and it should be the third floor. ”

"Well, let's go. ”

Nao nodded and walked side by side with Yanagi to the elevator. Nioh Masaharu twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at the backs of the two, and quickly followed, "Hey, hey...... I'm kidding, don't ignore me!"

The three of them laughed and entered the elevator, and quickly reached the third floor where their destination was located. But as soon as he stepped out of the elevator door, Nao sensitively noticed a strange atmosphere - there were obviously many customers in front of each counter, but the salespeople still focused their eyes on the place where Nao and the three of them were the moment the elevator door opened. Although they quickly recovered from their original state, she still captured the fleeting disappointment and disdain.

...... Disappointment? Disdain?

Nao furrowed his eyebrows, standing in place and scanning the salesmen who looked at the elevator from time to time. If a big man is about to arrive, then the disappointment is barely understandable, but what about disdain?Nao looked at Nioh and Yanagi, and then looked down at what she was wearing, and felt that she really couldn't find a place that could make them look down on her. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask the two beside her, a metallic but penetrating male voice shot out from behind.

"Hey, the one ahead! Don't hesitate there, do you want to go or not?"

"Ah, I'm sorry. Nao knew that he was in the way of someone behind, and hurriedly staggered to make way out. But after seeing the few people who had staggered past her, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide and shouted, "-Keigo Keibe? and Yueren...... Why are you here?"

"Ahh

"Thanks to you," Nao laughed, too, "It's a good thing you got me and my sister to the hospital in time yesterday, otherwise it would have been a real hang-up." ”

"Now, Tsukibe, who is this kid?" asked Xiang Higakuto with displeasure pointing at Nao and asking Tsukibu, "Why does he know my name?" and he is directly called 'Yueren'!"

"It's rude to call me 'him'!" Nao couldn't help but laugh, pushing his sunglasses above his head and approaching Xiangri's face, "I said Yueren, I didn't know him if I didn't see him for a day?"

"This, this voice ......" Yue Ren looked at the young man with short black hair and black eyes in front of him, and his blue-gray eyes were round, "-Nana Nana Nana?!"

"That's right. Nao snapped her fingers and put her glasses back on.

"You cut your hair?!and dyed?!?!! you wear contact lenses."

"It's just a wig, a wig......"

"Why are you dressed like this!You ran away from home?!" Yue Ren pointed at Nao and gushed, "Ah no, aren't you injured?

"It's okay, it's already well bandaged. Nao tugged at his sleeve, revealing the bandage on his left arm, "As for dressing like this...... Well, there are a variety of reasons. She sneered and pulled up her sleeves, raised her head to look at the teenagers she had seen in the Ice Emperor Primary School last time, and hurriedly changed the subject, "What are you guys...... What are the activities of the tennis club?"

"It's all the ruins! It is said that the tennis shoes that were ordered for us last time have arrived, let's try them together, and there are new Zhengxuan clothes or something, the trouble is dead! Otherwise, I will go to the hospital to see you early this morning. Yue Ren puffed out his cheeks and muttered, but there was pride in his eyebrows.

"It's worthy of the ruin......" Although Nao had heard of the glorious deeds of Keigo Kube a long time ago, he couldn't help but look at him twice when he actually saw it.

"Anyway, why don't you stay in the hospital and come here?" asked Yue Ren.

"Ah, it's just an investigation, about yesterday's attack. Speaking of the case, Nao's face couldn't help but sceas, "There is some evidence that the suspect once came here to buy something, so let's investigate and see if we can find further clues." ”

"'You' are here to investigate?" Yueren's gaze turned to the two behind Nao, "That 'you' are ......"

"We are the assistants of Master Saotome. Yanagi pushed his glasses calmly, "It's Yanagi down there, and this one here is Nioh." ”

"Poof!"

"Great, master?!" Yueren apparently forgot about Nioh, who had a relationship with him, and looked at Nao, who was only in the first year of junior high school, as if in disbelief. However, as the minister, the secretary seemed to feel that there was nothing wrong with this title, and just glanced at the two of them and talked to Nao again.

"So, what do you want to investigate?" he raised his chin as he crossed his shoulders, "No matter who the prisoner is, you and your sister were injured in our Ice Emperor after all, and Uncle Ben is also responsible." In this AT Plaza, there is nothing that Uncle Ben can't do. Now, birch?"

"USU!" replied forcefully from the tall boy who followed him.

"So the 'A' of 'AT Plaza'......"

"IT'S UNCLE'S ATOBE. ”

"Great, we're worried that we can't investigate, after all, it's all about customer profiles. Nao turned around and glanced at Nioh and Yanagi, who had been silent, and smiled happily, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"Is that all?" Traces received Nao's affirmative look, and immediately stretched out his arm and snapped his fingers, "Birch, go and get the manager to Uncle Ben." ”

“USU！”
