Looking at the time, at four o'clock in the morning, I got up and said goodbye, "Let's rest a little more before dawn, and then ...... I will go somewhere else to avoid these police and doctors, maybe tonight or tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to come back to you, remember not to make the nurse who changed your bandage suspicious, and don't let Ah Miao's father be suspicious.

"I see!" She said, "Where are you going?" Or...... Wait until dawn to go to my house, right? I'll give Apricot a call. ”

"It's better not to involve more unrelated people until you solve the problem, I have a lot of places to go." Having said that, I've already involved Miss Aosaki, and knocked her forehead in anguish.

"Okay, okay, ah, one more thing, Uncle Nakamura told me in the afternoon, this Sunday, that's four days away...... This Sunday is Miao's farewell ceremony, and I, I hope Alice will come too. ”

I was stunned for a moment, then stopped walking towards the square door, "I'll go, and I'll go with you then." ”

"Hmmm......"

Before leaving, I thought of something that ought to be said, and said to her, "Ah, and I must tell you explicitly, that this is an obligation of the gods to you," and I admonished her in a deep voice, "do not indulge in the pleasure of seduction to fool others, and deceive the nurse, which is a last resort, and is neither an end nor an end." ”

"I—Of course I know, how could I like to fool people."

I don't know much about the human mind, but I know that doing bad things too easily can be addictive—I think of the night when faced with an exhausted magician and had no ability to react or resist.

Saying goodbye to Masako, I unconsciously returned to the lake in the park, at this moment the starlight was still shining, reflected in the lake water as if the water and the sky were connected, giving people an indescribable feeling of relaxation and joy, staring around, of course I did not see Miss Komachi, I laughed at myself and hoped to meet an acquaintance to help relieve the cowardice of loneliness, and then I cleaned up my mood, sat cross-legged by the lake and tried to continue to adapt to the cultivation environment of the outside world - I had nothing to do for a while and needed to rely on sitting and meditating to pass the time, this is really a tragedy.

I endured the discomfort to recall the practice of people in the death of their loved ones, it seems that on the seventh or eighth day after the death of a person, the head of the head to entertain relatives and friends to take turns to mourn the spirit card, it is rumored that the origin of this custom is related to the belief that the soul will briefly return to say goodbye to everyone on the seventh or eighth day after the death of a loved one, of course, this should now be classified as superstition rather than positive beliefs, and people with a little common sense know, For the vast majority of people, the return of the soul is limited to beautiful fantasies, because leaving the underworld means committing to an irresistible cycle – and the gods cannot help mortals resist it.

I stayed in a daze until the morning sun rose, and gradually heard human voices in the distance, perhaps old people and young people who got up early for morning exercises, and I moved to the dense woods to continue in a daze, and then the phone rang.

The caller was Maruko Aosaki, who got up early, "Hi, good morning, Alice, by the way, where did you spend the night last night?" Fran-chan is worried about you, too. ”

"Uh...... "Tell her that the hospital or the park doesn't seem to be very good, and it's not my style to make people worry about it, but it seems even worse to say that it's a traditional shop with a long history in the custom street...... In fact, I can bear it without rest for a few days, no problem. ”

"Huh? Don't push yourself too hard, I can relate to you, but a dead friend wouldn't want to see you exhausted for her. ”

"Of course I'm not going to force myself," I said, "Anyway, it's a relatively important thing to deal with," and it's really important to teach newcomers who are new to the spiritual world, "You also have to work today, right?" Don't worry about me. ”

"Ah, that's right, today our company is just carrying out the activities of opening up its internal business to the outside world, and there are many elementary and middle school students who will be organized to visit the company's editorial offices and many other departments. Fran-chan needs to be taken care of too. ”

"Open to the public?" I savored what she meant, curiously, "It's really bad for your health to leave Fran at home...... It doesn't matter much today, okay, I'm going to visit your company too. ”

"Okay! Ah, where are you now? If it's not far away, come to my house first, and go to the company after breakfast, my home is not far from the company. ”

"Okay, I'll do it."

After hanging up the phone, I went straight to Miss Maruko's house with a hint of curiosity - I didn't think I would have the opportunity to deal with her company a few days ago, and I didn't think that I would visit her workplace today, because the changes in the world were unexpected and full of curiosity.

It was nearly half past seven when I came out of the subway station, and another ten minutes passed when I arrived at the Aosaki apartment. When I rang the doorbell, it was my sister who was in high spirits, and there was a smell of fried eggs wafting outside.

"Yikes! Alice! Fran-chan, who was dressed in a short robe and pajamas, jumped up and pounced, and I was almost knocked to the ground by surprise, "Sister Maruko said that Alice will also pay me to play!" ”

"yes, I'm here to play with you." Walking into the house, I finally took the little Lori off my chest and put it on the floor, "By the way, I will rub a breakfast with Miss Maruko." ”

The lady said hello and went into the kitchen to cook, and in a short time brought out three breakfasts—three fried eggs and three sandwiches with sauce.

Taking advantage of the gap between my sister's concentration on breakfast, I secretly asked Miss Maruko, "Fran doesn't have any bad moves, right?" ”

"Huh?" She blinked strangely, and then it dawned on her, "No, except for the sharp tiger teeth, I can't tell that Fran-chan is not human." ”

"No...... Even if she shows her wings, everyone doesn't think she's not human...... "The concept of human beings is relatively broad and there is no more authoritative definition, no matter how mutated the genes are, the gap between people and people will not be as huge as imagined, and Fran's children are cute most of the time, "Anyway, that's good, it seems that her sister has a way." ”

"I told Fran a lot of stories last night," said Miss Maruko, "and I've heard her mention her sister many times, and I feel like a very amazing and great sister, and I really want to see her." ”

"Uh...... It's hard to get along with greatness or something. "Although I don't have the heart to deal with the demon lady, it is very difficult for me to praise her in front of others, "Didn't Fran mention where her sister disappeared? ”

"She really doesn't seem to know," Miss Maruko told me, "Fran said that her sister went all over the world looking for someone to find a way to save her, but I don't think there's anything wrong with Fran." ”

"Ah, this involves something that is more mysterious and not easy to understand."

"yes, yes, as long as Fran-chan doesn't have problems so quickly......"

After enjoying breakfast, the strange trio of adult women, teenage girls, and young girls left the house and boarded the train to the office building of the middle school building.

"Alice," Miss Maruko suddenly whispered to me before entering the ground floor hall of the building, "I searched for some relevant information on the Internet yesterday, but it is still too vague, and it just so happens that some of the old-timers in the adult comics department of the company have a certain understanding of government organizations and current affairs secrets, and I will find an opportunity to inquire about the relevant information of the National Police Agency, including the leaders of the Metropolitan Police Department." ”

"This ...... You also remember not to arouse suspicion, and it is more important to protect yourself than to inquire about the news. ”

"Rest assured, this is the content of the daily communication between the editors, and it will not arouse suspicion."

"Well, I'm giving you too much trouble."

"You're welcome, as a stranger, my sense of justice might be a little redundant, but we're friends."

As we spoke, Fran's children, dressed as ordinary girls from the outside world, had already taken the hands of the two of us and accelerated towards the magnificent glass-door hall, shouting excitedly, "There are so many people! It's huge! ”
