Chapter 18: Move closer to modern people
Masako pondered for a while, then raised her head and looked at the imposing chief inspector, "I'...... Can I make a request? ”
"Say, don't be afraid. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I didn't have time to ask you yesterday, please don't let my mother know about it, she's already working hard, I don't want her to worry, I, I'm letting my sister hide it from her, saying, saying that I'm tutoring at the same school......"
Ken Nakamura was silent for a long time, "Okay, I promise you, your father's ......"
"We don't have a father!"
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, I am, I mean, my father left us a long, long time ago and I haven't seen him since I was a kid......"
"What about your ......sister," Mr. Inspector asked awkwardly.
"It's a half-sister, and my mother got married again, but my stepfather died in a robbery not long after my sister was born."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay."
After a few casual chats, he stood up and came to the door, "The public funds for treatment and hospitalization expenses will be reimbursed for you, you don't have to worry too much, rest assured, I will come back to see you, and I will have someone bring you breakfast later." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Nakamura, goodbye."
The door was shut, and the footsteps outside the door faded away, and I came out, which made her almost scream.
"It wasn't a dream......
"Do you want to dream about it all? I can keep you in your dreams forever as you wish. ”
"No, I didn't mean that, I'm sorry Lord Alice...... Alice. ”
"Hmph, how do you feel?" I asked.
"It's so much better, it's so much better than yesterday! It's as if the shoulder has just been hit by a hammer, and there is no pain in the heart. ”
"Then don't move, you try to move more vigorously in two days, and remember, if someone asks you why your wound heals ridiculously fast when you change gauze, you say you don't know anything."
"Well, I know it's a secret."
"I'll go first, starting today, I'm going to conduct an investigation, I'll start with the outer personnel of the Konoe family first, if you have a good suggestion, you can tell me now."
"Wouldn't, that mysterious man who seems to be more powerful than you, wouldn't he intervene in Alice's way?"
"I have a way to avoid it."
"You, you too, take care of yourself...... I know Alice is a very nice person, otherwise I wouldn't be ......"
There are countless people who have sent me good guy cards, but I know that I can't afford it, "I treat you viciously, and I don't care if you live or die to disturb your will, and you think I'm a good person?" ”
"That's it! That's because! I do it myself, I ......" she gave me a reason that I had confessed to others at the beginning, "You dare to fight for your life for the sake of the friends you met in Pingshui, and you are not afraid of obvious threats to investigate alone, and even for sinners like me, you have the privilege of distinguishing me from most people in the world who have entered a realm of cultivation that so many noble people in the past and present have not been able to achieve, Alice must be the best person in the world!" ”
"Hmph," I turned my face away from her, "being able to start the path of cultivation is due to your own luck and qualifications, no one knows what a person's qualifications are before entering, and I don't know what the so-called qualifications are, I am a lazy magician, I can't give you instructions and guidance in my cultivation, you can only rely on yourself to explore, I can tell you that I have all left in the soul imprint, as for whether you can use your own practice to develop the ability to do things or fight against enemies, You can still only rely on your own efforts, the cultivation method I passed on to you is the original magic method created by Yasaka Fengshen after abandoning the altar and the believers, when you work hard to cultivate to a high enough level, the Fengjin-sama may appear to meet you, of course, that possibility is too slim for you to have much expectation. ”
"I may never know about the god of wind or something in my life, I only know that Miss Alice is my benefactor for life."
"Very well, so you can be discharged from the hospital quickly, and you can help me."
"yes, yes, Alice seems to come from a mysterious place, and there are no Japanese mobile phones, right? I have some money saved from my part-time job here, and I originally asked my sister to send it over to pay to the hospital, since the police station can reimburse the expenses, let this money be given to you, buy a phone first, as long as you keep in touch, I can also give you some advice temporarily...... I don't know what I can suggest, though. She pulled out a crumpled stack of banknotes from the cabinet drawer on her right-hand side and handed it to me.
"Hmm...... That's not bad, I do need a contact tool. ”
What I lacked most at the moment was indeed currency from the outside world, so I unceremoniously took the stack of bills that seemed to be hundreds of thousands of yen and stuffed them into the pocket of my skirt.
"Hehe, uh-huh—if you look closely during the day, Ah Miao is right, Alice is also the most beautiful person I have ever met, ah, I mean the appearance, and of course the heart."
"The beauty of the appearance is just a cloud on the horizon, you can forget it when you see it, it will pass away in a flash, it has no profound meaning, and what you are pursuing on the path of cultivation should not be such meaningless eternity."
"Eh......" She was speechless by my excitement, then tore a note from the low cabinet, wrote and drew and handed it to me, "This is my phone number and email address, remember to call it when you buy the phone, as well as mail, hmm...... If you don't know how to use the email, ask the person who will greet you. ”
There were footsteps outside the door again, and I thought it was the person who delivered the breakfast, so I put away the note, warned her to pay attention to her body and to watch out for suspicious people, and then left the room incognito.
Passing by the young policeman who had entered the house, he glanced around suspiciously, shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to doubt.
I also confirmed that this person was one of the people who had stood guard outside the door before leaving unharmed. After the massacre the night before, I don't think the Konoe family will be distracted from the trivial trouble with Daigo Masako - that seems to be just the personal behavior of Reika Konoe, as long as she is in trouble, she will not act rashly, maybe she has forgotten that she threatened a girl.
After looking around the hospital, I finally found a small supermarket selling mobile phones, I pressed my nervousness and went in to compare with the hostess, and finally finalized a flip phone that seemed to be the easiest to use, and then asked the hostess to get a card casually, and asked the email problem in her strange eyes, and then I knew how to use the mobile phone basically, and finally paid. It's not difficult to buy modern products that I've never heard of before, I thought and left the small supermarket.
Then add an email address and dial the phone number on the note.
"Hey? Is it Alice? ”
"It's me."
"Okay, I'll make a note of this number, and I need to protect my phone."
"Hmm...... E-mails, etc. will be sent to you. ”
"Ah, okay, I'll send you the address of my house and the approximate route later, if, that, if you're not too bothered, please help me look at the apricots, I hope the bad guys won't go to her."
She told me first? After a moment of silence, I said, "Okay." ”
"Thank you, totally, thank you in short."
"Is there anything else?"
"No, ah, that, why don't you identify yourself to Uncle Nakamura? He's sure to be able to help you a lot. ”
"Don't you understand that procedural methods of an official nature only hinder me and do not help me! I only know Nakamura Miao.,I don't want to be involved with Nakamura Ken.,That's it.,Send me the address quickly.,I'll go find the map outside of Shibuya first.。 ”
"Well, goodbye."
