Lévi brought Eve out today, and originally wanted to ask her where she had been these days and what she had seen and played. As a result, before we could start talking, we ran into the situation at the museum.

"That's right, turn it into a small shop that sells all kinds of things, or some public facilities that are convenient for pedestrians. ”

It's impossible to say that Eve hasn't seen those converted phone booths on the street for so many days. It seems that she is not very interested in the scenery, including architecture, and still likes to watch other people's lively and cheerful appearances as before, and she does not pay attention to the places she goes to every day.

"For example, the most common ones are the phone booths in the places where tourists love to go, which are usually converted into small shops selling souvenirs. In leisure places frequented by citizens, such as parks, telephone booths have been converted into free drinking water. There are also shopping streets where many people work, and there are even phone booths that have been converted into small take-out cafes. ”

Levy bought a cup of coffee yesterday with the children of the SOS group at a phone booth café. Although this form is nothing special when you think about it, it is equivalent to setting up a small stall on the street, and then the stall owner uses the coffee machine to make coffee and sell it to passers-by. It can be said that there are countless similar businesses in every big and small city. However, the transformation of one of the city's symbols, the red telephone booth, into a small stall gives visitors a sense of novelty. Even Haruhi Suzumiya, who didn't seem to be interested in anything before, and had to rack their brains to do something to be happy, was a little bit interested in these renovated phone booths. Even though her interest usually comes and goes quickly, it is enough to show that the local government's efforts to attract tourists are quite effective.

"It seems like a lot of fun. ”

Eve took a closer look and realized that she had indeed seen these repurposed phone booths. For example, on the way to see a bridge with Naha Takamachi this afternoon, she saw a phone booth full of flowers. In retrospect, it must have been transformed into a flower shop, right?

"There are no suspicious people in the community's surveillance. ”

Eve kept talking to Levi about what she didn't have, but it didn't affect her productivity in the slightest. This kind of trivial matter of distraction is completely worthless for a girl with countless nano-machines in her body with countless functions.

In just two or three minutes, Eve went through all the footage captured by the surveillance cameras that could be connected to the police station in charge of policing the community. There weren't too many people in those shots, and they were all extremely ordinary. Even without Levi's look, having just listened to his attention to detail, Eve could conclude that none of those people were special objects that needed attention.

"No, it looks like it's more and more likely that the kid is looking for someone. ”

Levi nodded with his chin tucked in, and the young man, who had been sneaky all the way, turned right into a fork in the road after probing around at an intersection.

"We seem to be getting closer. ”

Levi immediately left the phone booth with Eve and chased him to the intersection. On the right is a small downhill path, flanked by two-story houses built along a steep slope. After a brief observation, Lévi took Eve by the leap and jumped onto the roof, chasing after it until it was almost directly above the young man.

"When walking on this kind of downhill road, people generally don't look up. Unless this is a person who has an accident and is being hunted, but judging from his series of performances just now, although he looked around along the way, he didn't pay much attention to the ...... behind him."

"So it's certain that he's not running away, he's looking for someone. ”

Although Eve is not a layman, except for the ability to do it directly, other 'professional skills' are indeed much worse than Levy. However, she is also a person with rich experience in actual combat, and there are some things that she just didn't pay much attention to before, let alone think about and summarize. In fact, these things have been witnessed many times, as long as others mention them, Eve can immediately understand the truth.

"Do you want to keep following him?"

Eve took Levi's hand and looked at the man below from the rooftop. Since I chased this path, I haven't seen him look around and around like he did on the road outside. Although the road is just downhill and straight at a glance, there are houses on both sides and it really feels like there is nothing to observe. But after Levi's guidance, Eve also consciously paid attention to various details. From the way the man walked, especially the movements of his waist and neck, she could feel that the man's mentality seemed to be different from when he was on the road outside.

"Have you noticed that his back and neck are not as straight as they were just now, which generally indicates that a person's spirit is more relaxed. On the other hand, when he was on the road outside, including when he was at the entrance of the museum before, his body was tense all the time, indicating that he was nervous at that time. ”

Lévi teaches Eve all sorts of things she should have known but didn't learn when she was a killer in the past. Although now and even in the future, Eve may never be a killer again. However, even if the reality is not like the sentence in the movie, 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility', but Levi feels that this sentence is slightly changed to 'the greater the ability, the greater the trouble', there is no big problem.

Capable and powerful people, even if they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there will always be all kinds of troubles coming to the door one after another. This is a 'theorem' that Lévy agrees with. Otherwise, a person like him who doesn't like to cause trouble and is afraid of trouble should live quietly and quietly, and all the major events in the world have nothing to do with him.

However, even if you don't count the accidents of the last six months, Levi hasn't tasted too many leisurely days in the past few years.

There are always unexpected things coming to the door, so he can't always be comfortable and lazy with his family. There is no way to avoid it, and there is no way to escape it.

"Hmm. ”

Eve snorted softly, not knowing if she had discovered the details that Lévi had said, or if she had just asked casually.

"I don't think you'll find anything out if you follow along. Or just take him back and ask him clearly. ”

This road has always been a very ordinary house. There is no security monitoring equipment on both sides of the road, and only when you reach the intersection can you see cameras that I don't know if it is for security or to take pictures of illegal cars.
