"Sister Sae, can you just let me get off here?"

"What's the matter, Akemi, it's still some distance from your apartment!"

"It's nothing, it's just that I just saw someone I know, and the other party doesn't seem to have an umbrella!"

"Then why don't we turn around and go back to pick each other up!"

"No, Sister Zuojiang, you've been working hard today, so let's go back and rest early! Anyway, the rain isn't too heavy, and it won't take much time to walk back!"

"Okay then! Let's break up here, see you tomorrow, Akemi-chan!"

"See you tomorrow, Sister Sae!"

The Toyota Alpha was safely parked in the parking area next to the road. After Akemi took the umbrella handed over by her agent Sae Takashima, she immediately pushed open the car door and slowly opened the umbrella. Got out of the car.

At this moment, the fresh and humid air after the rain makes Akemi's mood extraordinarily good, as if a hard day is nothing.

The Alpha let go of Akemi and slowly drove off to the road ahead. Akemi turned around and waved her hand in the direction of the car. Then she first jumped up and looked in the direction where Lin Xiuyi was. Immediately afterwards, she habitually put on her mask and walked in the direction where Lin Xiuyi was.

Lin Xiuyi originally planned to find the nearest izakaya to have a drink as soon as possible to warm up his body. But wait until you find that the rain is not very heavy. Lin Xiuyi was not in a hurry. I simply strolled along the streets of Akasaka in the drizzle with my heart.

"When you come out alone, you really don't know what to eat? It stands to reason that the current season is the time to eat soba......! It's raining today, but you should still eat something that will warm your body. And you can't drink too much wine, otherwise it won't be good to pick up Ling Nai with a drunken body!"

Just when Lin Xiuyi was thinking about today's dinner, suddenly, he seemed to feel that the rain seemed to have stopped. Lin Xiuyi, who felt a little strange, immediately raised his head, only to realize that he didn't know when, an umbrella suddenly stretched out on his head to shield him from the rain!

"Ah, thank you so much for helping me shelter from the rain, I only found out now!"

Lin Xiuyi, who was extremely grateful in his heart, hurriedly turned around and thanked the kind people behind him. However, when he saw a girl wearing a mask standing behind him, he couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Miss Sonoji?"

The masked girl's eyes narrowed suddenly, and then she nodded suddenly. Immediately after that, she handed the umbrella in her hand to Lin Xiuyi, and then said jokingly:

"Officer Lin, you look so pitiful now, you look like a puppy that has been lost with your owner!"

"Oh, really, that's such a faux pas, it's such a mess and you have to meet it!"

"No, I'm kidding!"

"Hey, I know!"

Lin Xiuyi replied with a smile.

"Well, my house is over there, your clothes are wet from the rain, it must be very uncomfortable! Why don't you go to my house and tidy it up!"

"That's not good!"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard Akemi's invitation, he instinctively refused to the other party.

"It's okay, and I'm very close to the office, after Reina finishes her studies in the office, you can also come to meet us there, you won't make an appointment with other people, right?"

"Of course not, but forget it!"

I don't know why, Lin Xiu felt a little embarrassed in the face of Akemi's invitation. All along, Lin Shuichi met through Reina and Akemi. There are not many opportunities for the two to have a direct conversation like this.

"Could it be that Officer Lin was afraid of meeting Miss Keiko so he refused my invitation?"

"Of course not, I'm just afraid of causing you trouble!"

Hearing Akemi mention her neighbor Miss Keiko, Lin Xiuyi immediately denied it to the other party.

"But I don't think I'm going to get in trouble by taking you up for a seat!"

Akemi continued to invite Lin Xiuyi, and since everything was said and done, Lin Xiuyi naturally had no reason to refuse!

"Well, I'm going to bother more!"

Lin Xiuyi replied to Akemi with some embarrassment. Hearing Lin Xiuyi's affirmative reply, Akemi squinted her eyes again and nodded, Lin Xiuyi guessed that there might be a smile under the mask now, but what kind of smile it was, Lin Xiuyi didn't know.

In this way, the two of them each held their own umbrellas and walked side by side through the streets of Akasaka. The air after the rain was fresh and humid, and it was rare for the streets to be so empty as now, but all this was not noticed by Lin Xiuyi. Because he really didn't know what common topics he would be able to communicate with Akemi for a while.

"Well, do you want to eat something downstairs before going up, it's almost dinner time anyway!"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly pointed to the 7 convenience store on the street and asked Akemi.

"Well, there should be enough food in the refrigerator!, but if Officer Lin wants to eat something, we can go in and have a look!"

Akemi heard Lin Xiuyi's suggestion, and immediately stopped and replied to Lin Xiuyi.

"Otherwise, let's buy some oden as a side dish, by the way, it seems that the instant rice at the convenience store is also good, we can buy one and go back to make chazuke!"

Lin Xiuyi casually suggested to Akemi. These things were all foods that Lin Xiuyi often ate at night when he lived alone in the past. You don't even need to prepare rice for chazuke or anything, just sell it back and heat it in the microwave and pour the brewed tea on it. Oden, on the other hand, is even more useful, as it can be used as a dish to accompany a meal, a dish to accompany alcohol, or a snack to pass the time while watching TV. To be honest, for otaku, as long as the food is sufficient and delicious, you don't have to go out to buy it all the time.

Akemi was actually worried about what to eat at night. However, after hearing Lin Xiuyi's suggestion, Akemi also seemed to think that it was a good idea. After all, it is too inconvenient to always wear a mask when eating out. And it's rare to have someone to have dinner with you, and of course it's more comfortable at home.

So, the two walked into the convenience store and then purchased some side dishes and snacks together for dinner in the evening. In addition to oden, chicken meatballs and rice. Lin Xiuyi also bought a few cans of beer drinks, as well as something similar to shredded squid.

"Thanks to your patronage, it's 2,390 yen in total!"

After waiting for the convenience store service staff to quote the price, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly handed over his bank card. Akemi lifted the bag and stood aside. It looks like a couple who go downstairs to buy a supper!
