In the evening, Morino rode his bicycle through the sunset alleys of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe city has been aging a bit in recent years, and there are not many young people of the new generation, so the old empty houses are gradually filling the narrow streets. As a local, he is familiar with every street around him, and he is also intoxicated by the reassuring smell that permeates the old alleys. I had just had a simple dinner in half an hour, and my work as a new member of the club was on the right track, and as soon as I thought of these things, my face began to relax involuntarily. Riding around the neighborhood is a pleasant experience. After a long day of stiffness, the fatigue gradually eased from the simple exercise......

"No! I have to cheer up now...... "I suddenly muttered to himself.

In fact, he was not riding a bicycle, but doing something similar to patrolling a patrol. No one had ever forced him to do so, but out of a sense of duty, he had recently begun to seriously try to patrol. Between late evening and midnight, some things are most likely to happen. So from now on, the focus of the official Pingping patrol. Unfortunately, like most Japanese people, his personality is relatively stable and laid-back. Looking at the peaceful scene on the street, I can't help but start forgetting my original intention. However, this also has something to do with the fact that he has just started patrolling and has not mastered the know-how.

Three hours of cycling is a bit long for a cycling exercise to digest after a meal. The time is slowly passing from evening to about ten o'clock in the evening, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. It's a city, but it's not as good as Tokyo. I heard that in Tokyo, there is a rush hour at 5 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 11 o'clock in the evening. In order to keep the city running, people work in shifts in shifts. But this is not Tokyo, and by about 10 p.m. it is already deserted. The little couples who could have been seen an hour ago have also gone home. Xuan Ping thought with some envy, and he also wondered if he could find a girl to talk to from among his previous college classmates. When you think about it this way, there are as many as three or four people to choose from. Huanping's personality is gentle, and he is not very picky about girls, so the woman's popularity is still very good. But if you think about it, your sister's words might be angry. Although he felt that he was a little arrogant to say this, he felt that if he had a girlfriend, his sister would be jealous.

"Sister ......"

Thinking of his sister, Huanping suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. The reason why he started this spontaneous patrol was because of the terrible things that happened to his sister. Hirohei's face changed, his lazy and laid-back expression began to fade, and he once again strengthened his heart and decided to patrol the streets so that what happened to his sister would not be repeated.

Hirohei glared imposingly, and soon found a suspicious target. A girl who looked to be only the age of a high school student was walking down the street in civilian clothes and carrying a plastic bag. The girl has long, quiet black straight hair and a ponytail tied at the side, which looks chic and unpretentious. Although he could only see a back, he instinctively felt that this was a very beautiful girl. He sped up his ride, came to the girl's side, and began to talk. This kind of behavior may be considered a sister, but Zohei himself has no such intentions at all. He rode his bicycle in front of the girl and crossed over, blocking her path.

The girl stopped and looked at Hirohei. Xuan Ping felt that he had guessed correctly, this was indeed a very beautiful girl, and she was probably between the first and second years of high school. No hair dyeing, no makeup, no extra trinkets, and it looks like he was attending a school with a very strict style. The upper body is wearing a knitted sweater, and the lower body is a midi skirt that is somewhat conservative for today's girls. The slender ankles that peeked out from under the long skirt couldn't help but make Zun Ping look at it for a while.

"Excuse me......" After a short while, the girl spoke. Her voice was not low, not high, very flat. Like her appearance, her voice was quiet.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Only then did he come back to his senses. He was really embarrassed to say that he was in a daze because of the other party's ankle, so he had to quickly bring the topic over, "I don't know what are you doing so late?"

Honestly, the girl is dressed modestly and looks much more pleasing to the eye than the popular hot girl line and the like. But it was precisely this that made Hiroi feel a little bad - why did such a well-behaved girl walk alone in the middle of the night? Because the girl was not wearing a school uniform, it didn't seem to be a helping person, but it was not ruled out that she would go to the godfather of a regular customer. Or maybe someone has seized the girl's handle and tried to coerce her into doing something unpleasant? I think I can handle the above situation, but there is a possibility of worse than that.

So he can't leave this girl alone.

"As you can see...... the girl replied with a regular honorific, and she lifted the plastic bag in her hand, "I'm going to the convenience store to buy something." ”

"Is that so...... "If it's a purchase, there shouldn't be any problem, "even that's a bit dangerous, you shouldn't come out alone." Don't you have anyone else in the house?"

"It was at the behest of my father. The girl said stiffly.

"Oh, your father was so careless. How can a beautiful girl like you go out at ten o'clock in the evening, and what if you meet a bad person?" ”

"So, you're not a patrolman, are you?" the girl looked up at Zohei. Although it is a question sentence, it does not seem to mean to ask. It's right to think about it, after all, he didn't wear the clothes of a patrolman.

"I'm not a patrolman, so don't be nervous. I'm just worried about something happening to a girl your age. My sister is also the same age as you, she is ......" Zun Ping mentioned his sister's matter in a somewhat low tone, "But speaking of which, your person is too good." If other girls talk to me suddenly, they won't pay attention to me. Some of them reacted violently and took out their mobile phones to call the police. ”

"So, you often do this kind of harassment of girls, don't you?"

"Not very often, since recently...... And it's definitely not harassment!" said Hiropei solemnly. But he soon saw the girl thoughtfully pull her phone out of her pocket.

"Let's let Mr. Police judge, after all, the perpetrators of crimes in recent years have denied it in your tone. ”

"Don't! Huanping, who had been summoned by the police several times, hurried up to dissuade him. Although he and the police are also old acquaintances, he still doesn't want to be at risk of being reported by a female high school student.

"Didn't hit it, I was just joking with you. The girl smiled and spread her white hands.

"I thought a girl like you wouldn't joke......" Woo Ping smacked his lips, "I looked at you and looked very serious, but I didn't expect you to be naughty inside." ”

"So I look serious?" the girl gently dragged her cheek with her hand, and the look was not so much serious as it was an indescribable sadness. With the girl's fair and delicate cheeks, this melancholy feeling is even more obvious. Huanping thought about it and still didn't say his impression, after all, he and the girl were not very familiar with each other.

"Actually, I have a question for you...... Why did you come to talk to me when there are already patrol officers?"

"That's because ......," Hiropyeong was stunned before he said, "It's because I perceived some dangers that the police didn't perceive." ”

The girl's eyes rose slightly, and she seemed to be very interested in what he had to say. To be honest, Hunpyeong was not very confident in his actions, and the girl's curiosity gave him the courage to continue. If you think about it carefully, Hirohei has also accosted more than a dozen girls before, but none of them took Hirohei's words to heart. The girl in front of her seemed to be the first to listen carefully.

"It's dangerous...... It can't be said that the police didn't find it, it should be that the police found it but didn't pay attention. They don't think it's possible at all, because that's beyond science at all. I felt a supernatural force at work...... Eh, you must be confused when I say so many strange things. Tsuhei stammered, and what had been organized was a mess, "You know that the number of girls here has been increasing lately! I think it was caused by a girl named Tokitsuki Kazuna—I can't say that she caused it, but it definitely has something to do with her." ”

"Are you talking about urban legends like 'sue the dead,' or are you talking about a new sect?"

"It's not those nasty things!

"Don't be in a hurry, just speak slowly. I know there's a café in the neighborhood that is open at night, so you can go there and talk slowly. ”

The girl who was obviously in the position of being admonished actually began to comfort Huanping, which made Xuanping feel inexplicably moved.

"Well, is it okay for you to come home so late?"

Huanping was aroused to talk, but she didn't want the girl to be scolded by her parents for her own reasons. The girl nodded knowingly, and deftly pulled her phone out of her coat pocket and started calling. The phone was put to the girl's ear, but it didn't seem to get through. Unsurprisingly, the girl took the phone back and nodded slightly to Huanping.

"No problem, my father seems to be asleep. ”

It was not easy for Huanping to swallow the sentence "What about your mother?" If you guess from the girl's atmosphere, it's better not to ask her mother about her situation here. Thinking of this, Hoeopyeong suddenly realized a problem.

"Didn't your father tell you to buy something, if he was in a hurry and needed something for his daughter to buy himself, how could he fall asleep on his own?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a late-night snack. The girl lifted the plastic bag again, and it became clear that it was actually a box of bento inside.

"Eh, why don't you buy this yourself!, but I'm still asleep!"

"That's right. The girl ignored Hirohei's complaint and took it lightly. He felt that the mystery of the girl deepened again, and at the same time, her charm deepened. Beneath her quiet appearance and quiet personality, there seems to be something special.

"Anyway, I'm interested in what you said, but I haven't been able to know your name until now......," the girl said, bowing her head slightly.

"Ah, I'm so careless, my name is Morino Kohei, I was a college student some time ago, and now I'm a social person. After accepting himself, he asked very carefully, "I don't know if you are ......"

"My name is Sulfona, please advise. ”
