Chapter 39: Driving on a rainy day

When I returned to the middle school building, nearly an hour had passed, and Ito's children's hair was burned to ashes after I played with it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

On a hot summer day, there are not many people and cars on the streets of Tokyo in the afternoon, and I don't have much time to wander around in the sweltering sun.

I don't know whether to be happy or depressed, just before I stepped into the lobby of the building, the sky suddenly became dark, looking up, unconsciously, a large area of dark rain clouds drifted in the east, which was now blocking half of the sky, accompanied by the humid southeast wind that gradually whistled, half of the sun was obscured, and the city was like a thin curtain.

After admiring the first rain seen from the outside world for a while, I re-entered the building with a hint of nostalgia, now is not the time to feel homesick.

I called Miss Maruko, and she told me to go to the reading room to look for Fran first, and then we'll go home together after she gets off work in an hour and a half.

Fran was still in the reading room, blinking her big sparkling eyes and flipping through the comics, occasionally showing a look of excitement, even making people wonder if she had never left her seat and had been addicted to it since the morning.

"The food here is not very good!" When Fran met them, he complained, "It's worse than what Misuzu and Sakiya make!" Well, it's not as good as Sister Maruko! ”

"yes, you're too picky," she honestly went to lunch, and I thought about it, and then said, "What about that manga artist Ii Yuko, ah, and Sister Eriko?" ”

"Sister Eriko can't cook!" Fran blinked and said honestly, "But the takeout she ordered was delicious." ”

"......" as a happy sister sauce, Fran is blessed even if she is taken out by her sister, I feel jealous and envious, but I am embarrassed to express it, so I simply don't say more to her.

The planned opening hours of the secondary school building include morning and afternoon, the morning team has returned to school or home before noon, the afternoon visiting team seems to be another group, the number is small, I have not seen the same crowd as in the morning, in the hall, the corridors on each floor and the department's workplace, and at this moment there are only a few absent-minded middle school students in the reading room except for Fran, when I secretly look at them, I notice that I am also being secretly watched, but I can confirm that there are no outliers among the middle school students, He no longer paid attention to the gaze that glanced at him from time to time in the distance.

There are many windows in the reading room, most of which have been closed by the staff to protect them from the rain, and I left behind the obsessed Fran to pace to the window, and the window is a scene of a refreshing street shrouded in rain, except for the occasional passing traffic, and there is a faint figure under the eaves of the shops on the side to take shelter from the rain.

The heavy rain that cooled Tokyo has stabilized from the initial rampant, and it looks like it will fall at least until night, so won't it be a little troublesome to follow Maruko home later?

This question was answered before Maruko got off work, and she called me to tell me to take Fran to the lobby to meet, and when I got to the lobby, she introduced me to a female colleague who was also the head of her editorial team, and told us that we would take her colleague's private car home.

This female colleague named Okamoto Ran can barely be classified as beautiful in appearance, about thirty years old, with lean short and medium hair, the first impression of her is roughly that she is refined in business and serious in her work, and Miss Maruko quietly told me that Miss Okamoto is not married yet. Fran and I greeted her politely, and then were warmly invited by the owner to a small private car with the appearance of a Beetle.

I thought driving in the rain would be an easy ride home, but ......

"Is Alice a foreign exchange student? International students? Where do you go to school? It's so cute with flan sauce! Can you model me once? I've heard that Europeans have rough skin, but that's not the case with Miss Alice! Such small problems emerge one after another, and Miss Maruko, who is in the co-pilot position, keeps reminding seniors to pay attention to driving in rainy weather.

In short, the warmth of this Miss Okamoto was almost chilling, but there was no malice at all, which made me less resistant to enthusiastic peopleβ€”I was already very tired of dealing with overly enthusiastic strangers.

Finally returning to Miss Maruko's apartment, I dragged Fran out of the car and fled to the corridor to get away from Miss Okamoto as soon as possible, who had already planned to invite me to her home, and then said goodbye to her with a shy smile: "Thank you very much, Miss Okamoto, I still have a lot of urgent matters to attend to, and I will have the opportunity to disturb you in the future." ”

"You're so kind, Alice-chan, well, I'll remember it."

"Okay, let's go, senior Lan!" Miss Maruko turned around the front of the car and came to the driver's door and pressed the leader's poked head back, "Zhou, please have dinner." ”

"Ahh

With Miss Maruko and I to deal with the breathless enthusiastic leadership, Fran has been watching leisurely with a pair of seemingly innocent big eyes, seeing this, I can't help but be vicious, and use the usual method of bullying Lori to round and flatten Flan face, "Woo, woo......"

"Don't bully Fran." Miss Maruko said and led us to the elevator.

Nine hours later, I visited this little apartment that was becoming more and more cozy for the third time.

Throwing Fran in the living room, I followed Miss Maruko into the kitchen, although I couldn't help too much in cooking, but it was still no problem to get started, by the way, I had a lot to communicate with her, "Two days later, I want to take someone with me at the corporate exchange meeting on Friday night, no problem, right?" ”

"It's fine to be alone," she hesitated for a moment, "May I ask who it is?" ”

"The daughter of a declining dojo family," I thought for a moment and decided to tell more truths, "It's a friend of Ah Miao, and she may have the ability to help me do some work that ordinary people can't do." ”

"Oh! Is it the same as you, that one, a practitioner? Or a youkai? ”

"Barely a cultivator, well, I think she'll be of some use."

"That's fine! I asked my father to prepare an extra invitation. ”

"Ah, won't that cause trouble for your family? I mean, if I'm not careful, or if I have to get into a confrontation with someone from the National Police Agency......"

"No problem! They don't really care much about the issuance of invitations, as long as you pretend not to know my father and his assistants, no one will suspect my family, and then you will have to rely on yourself, I am not suitable for that kind of occasion," Miss Maruko apologized profusely, "Actually, my family never gives up the idea of forcing me to go on a blind date, I can't give them a chance!" So, uh, it's not convenient to accompany you to the party. ”

"I understand, even if you want to go, I won't agree."

"Alas......" she suddenly sighed, "There is a friend who is willing to work hard for himself, Ah Miao is really enviable, hmm, maybe I can do it for Mr. Jingyi?" ”

"Don't speculate about what hasn't happened," I said, "and it's no good to force yourself to be." ”

"I understand, I'm sorry, I also felt it, I don't think there will be too many people like this in this world."

The eldest lady of the Konoe family, who has a strange personality, expressed similar feelings, and I thought to myself, and even she seemed to have some hostile thoughts towards me......
