Chapter 122: Officially All Assembled!
Both Eiri and Ayase jumped up when the doorbell rang, but then, the two looked at each other a little awkwardly, a little amused by the unexplained tension they had just had, maybe because the atmosphere was still too dignified. So whether it is Ying Lili who forcibly released her pressure and self-blame, or Ayase who suppressed her unrelenting concern for her brother in front of her predecessors and forced herself to pretend to be a mature adult, there is an inexplicable neurotic feeling, and the doorbell rang by this somewhat abrupt uninvited guest just gave the two of them a window to vent.
However, when the two saw Megumi Kato, who was squinting at the door of Spencer's house, through the camera, both showed a somewhat strange expression. It's not that Kato can't come to find Yingli Li, but this strange appearance time, and Kato's unhurried attitude after no one came to open the door for a long time, made the two feel as if they had some information that they didn't know very well.
"Well, let's go open the door!" Compared to Eiri Li, who knows Kato better and has a better relationship, but is also more inscrupulous about her psychology, Ayase's impression of Kato Megumi is just a senior sister with a better relationship, so after a short period of surprise, she still expressed the idea of wanting to open the door, but given that this is Yingli Li's home after all, she just made a suggestion.
"Okay." Eriri had a strange expression, and she suddenly felt that Megumi Kato's purpose was the same as Ayase's.
----------------------------- dividing line------------------------------
"Well, good evening, Ying Liri," Kato didn't seem to care much about his long wait time after ringing the doorbell, glanced at the raunchy Ying Li, and said hello politely but also a little solemnly.
"Well, I'm sorry, Megumi, it will take some time to get out of the room and open the door." Eriri ruffled her hair, revealing an embarrassed expression, "Ayase is also there, so she was a little sluggish." ”
"Huh? Is Ayase also there? Kato raised her eyebrows, revealing a rather surprised expression, but immediately, she nodded again, revealing a look of understanding, and asked, "So, I'll get straight to the point and ask, Aragaki-san, is something wrong?" I've been emailing him since two days ago and he hasn't replied to me.,I asked other people including Yasu-san.,Kasumigaoka-san, and they didn't seem to have received contact from Aragaki-san.,Ayase's parents who called Aragaki's house didn't seem to know anything about his situation.,When I visited Aragaki's house today, I happened to see Ayase leaving home in a hurry.,I feel like a lot of things have happened since that night! ”
"Which night? Hmm, okay! Eiri asked a little puzzled, but looking at Kato's eyes looking deeply at her, she immediately understood what the problem was.
"Actually, when I was shopping with my mother a few days ago, I saw Aragaki-san near Eirigari's house, but I was a little hesitant and uneasy when I saw him at the time, so I didn't talk to him, but I think that from that day on, it was also the beginning of Aragaki-san's non-reply to my and other people's emails, so I came to Yingri to ask if there was any news from Aragaki-san. But now that Ayase has appeared here, it seems that you should know about Aragaki-san's problem, right? ”
"That's it, okay," Ying Lili sighed, looking at Kato Megumi, who was not so calm in both the tone of her voice and the expression on her face, but her actual vigorous and resolute movements were not so calm, she was stunned for a moment, and finally gave up her resistance, "Well, this, Megumi, you better come in first, and I'll tell you about the specific situation now." ”
And next to Ying Lili, Ayase, who also looked at Kato with a shocked expression, was also stunned by the somewhat anxious look of this senior sister who had been gentle in the process of interacting with him before.
---------------------------- Dividing Line-----------------------------
"So,The kidnapper's main purpose is the same person of Ying Lili, right? The so-called asking for money, according to what you said, is probably something that was attached after remembering it, and it is really ...... to kidnap Aragaki with this" Kato frowned, a little surprised.
"yes, so when that guy called me at the beginning, I thought it was a big joke, but who would have known that it was really like this, ahhh Ying Lili also said with a little crying and laughing.
"But in this way, it can't be completely said that Yingli Lili is your problem!"
"Well, that's what I said to my senior sister, mainly because the kidnapper has some psychological problems, for a book or something." Ayase pursed her lips, defending Eiri and expressing her disdain and incredulity for the robbers who did such a thing.
"No, no, that's not what I meant," Kato said with a gentle smile, "I think it's likely that Aragaki-san himself will be held accountable for this matter!" ”
"Senior Sister Hui, what do you mean?" Ayase's face changed significantly, but given the good relationship she had always maintained with Kato before, she didn't refute it at the first time.
"Well,I mean,In the process of helping Ying Li Li sell books,Aragaki seems to be too ostentatious.,Basically everyone else is selling normally.,He's the only one who said a lot of unnecessary things.,Although these words did attract a large part of the customers.,And help Ying Li Li explain the difference of her work.。 But in the same way, Aragaki-san offended a lot of people at the time, if it weren't for such a high reputation and such a high hatred value, even if the robber deliberately coerced her to create by finding someone who was familiar with Eirigari, it would not have been possible to tie up Aragaki-san on the road so coincidentally! It can only be said that that person has always held a grudge against Aragaki-san who offended him at that time, because various coincidences further deepened his dissatisfaction with him, so Aragaki-san encountered this seemingly strange disaster. ”
If Kazuya was here, he would definitely give a thumbs up to Kato's rigorous logical reasoning at this time, and carefully consider the cause and effect, although Kato couldn't be genius enough to directly point out who committed this crime, but she basically restored the situation at that time.
However, "Although I think what you said is very reasonable.,But it didn't do anything to catch that guy.,I can also think that this person must have been one of the customers of my club at that time.,But I haven't been to that club myself.,The book I bought this time is for all ages.,There's no way to register the identity of the people at the time, right?" Ying Lili complained with some distress.
"It's true, even if my brother did so many ostentatious things at the time," although she hadn't experienced it, Ayase seemed to be able to see Kazuya's somewhat proud and swaggering state, grinding her teeth hard, admitting the correctness of Kato's words, and said, "I can't provide more clues and help for the criminal police." ”
"Of course, the purpose of saying this is not to find the criminals, it should be the police's job to eliminate the criminals one by one, besides, if you really do this kind of thing, whether it is Ayase, your father or Eiri Riri, your family should have put enough pressure on the police, in this case, if the criminal police in charge of Aragaki's case can't handle this matter, then he will be in trouble!"
"Hmm, is that so?" Remembering that it seemed that Kirino's father also had an intersection in this matter, Ayase suddenly became worried about her best friend's father again, but then she shook her head and said a little anxiously, "But anyway, since this is not something we should take care of, what we should do now is to help Eiri Riri-senpai finish hers, this book, right?" ”
"Well, that's the case, but what I said just now is to ask Ying Lili to not blame yourself too much, after all, this matter is not a problem caused by the first person, even the victim Aragaki himself, he needs to be held responsible, so don't blame himself too much for him, and do what you can do first is the point."
"Huh? So, don't comfort me in this roundabout way! Yingli Li, who finally understood Kato's thoughts, raised her head a little awkwardly, and said with red eyes, "Also, even if you say that, it won't have a great effect on me, I have already started to prepare, and Ayase has also helped me for a while, why don't you come and help me draw the manuscript when you have this time!" ”
"Of course I'm fine, but if you're short of people, why don't you call An Yi, or even Kasumigaoka?" Kato nodded, picked up the pen somewhat skillfully, and entered the state of Ying Lili's assistant a few days ago.
"Well, I just don't want so many people to worry about that guy, okay? Besides, I can solve it alone! "Don't look away," So, I didn't forget it! ”
------------------------- Dividing Line---------------------------
Blessingsoftware's people gathered again in such an accident, and unlike the previous gathering, the person who was missing before was Yingli Pear, and this time the missing person was Kazuya.
"So I said that my role has been compressed to this extent? It's too sad to only brush up on the sense of existence through this kind of time when everyone is assembled, right? "I'm immersed in my blog for the mid-term appraisal of July.,Lun, who was forcibly called over by Ying Lili, also complained with some dissatisfaction.。
"I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to say these things at this time, right?" Shi Yu, who soon learned the specific situation, no longer showed his usual expression of indifference, and gave Lun Ye a chestnut, and said seriously, "What's more, if you want a tragedy, I'm more tragic, but I'm also one of the heroines who appeared in the introduction of the work, and my recent sense of existence is similar to yours." ”
"I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere, but I'll still do what I have to do! Otherwise, how could I have given up on today's blog update? Lun also touched his head, sighed and complained a little aggrievedly, "So Yingli Lili, you let us come here to let us be assistants!" No problem, you should fight for that guy too! ”
"So, although I've always looked down on a guy like you before, it's rare for you to work hard, so I'd better support you, what's more, it's true that this matter is not a trivial matter!"
"Hmm!" If it was usually a bit stinging to hear Shi Yu's words, Ying Li Li would inevitably be more serious with the other party, but this time, looking at Shi Yu who spit out mocking sentences in his mouth, but in fact looked at Shi Yu with concern, Ying Li Li nodded solemnly, "Okay, then please everyone!" ”
"Yes, we have to work together!" Kato smiled and said, "If Aragaki-san doesn't come again, blessing."
The reboot of Software has to be postponed again! ”
"OK, let's do it!" Lun also shouted loudly.
"Come on!" Ying Lili, Shiyu and Kato also match.
"But being so excited at this time doesn't seem to fit the current situation, right?" Lun, who first called out the word "come on", also discovered a sense of disobedience first.
"The serious place of the plot of this book should be the emotional drama between men and women, and this seemingly dangerous plot will eventually be attributed to the happy ending in daily life, so there will be no too serious things, so it doesn't matter if you don't change the scope and shout!"
"Is it really good to keep putting up flags like this?"
------------------------ Dividing Line------------------------------
"So, is this the club that my brother joins?" After Kato's arrival, Ayase obviously felt that the depressing atmosphere before he and Eiri Pear had disappeared, and the previous atmosphere where there were only two people who could talk to Eiri Pear had also disappeared, and even more so after the arrival of Shiwa and Ryun, Ayase felt as if she was completely isolated from the group of BlessingSoftware, "I don't know anything about those things, I can't seem to understand my brother's other side of the world at all, really, A little unwilling! ”
Recalling the appearance of the black cat when he tried his best to preach to him before, Ayase suddenly had a trace of curiosity: "Although I have met bad people who have an interest in otaku both before and now, but why in the end, let my brother, let Sister Hui, and let good people like Kirino also be interested in this kind of thing?" Why? So, if I can really understand these things, or at least not discriminate against them, then I guess I can understand each one better, and I can understand Kirino better, right? ”
"Well, that's it," Ayase raised her head and made a decision in her heart with some solemnity, "I want to know my brother better!" ”
"Well, is it okay for Ayase to come and help too?" In the distance, the call of Ying Lili was heard.
"No problem, I'll be here right away, Sister Yingli Li!" Ayase nodded and said secretly, "Then, Ayase Aragaki, you have to work hard from now on!" ”
---------------------------PS-------------------------------
I feel like this chapter is a little frustrated to make up the number of words with a dividing line.,All in all, give everyone a big collection first.,After finishing this plot, I will slowly brush up on the role of the senior sister and the sage Hui.,It's really hard not to favor one over the other.。
