Watch the world, Ono Town.

"Bang!"

The door opened from the hallway.

Accompanied by a tired sentence - "I'm back!" ”

The little girl dragged her heavy body into the entrance.

It wasn't until she took off her small shoes and stepped on the wooden floor with her little feet in white cotton socks that she suddenly remembered in the dark.

In this family, she is the only one left again.

There is no longer any need for the usual "I'm back!" ”

Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but be gloomy for a moment.

"Aono-kun..... Really! ”

This is exactly when Yukie Kanda returned home alone after a day of training and work.

The light, which would normally wait for her to come back at home, would not turn on for the time being.

Kanda Yukie hastily made a simple dinner — in effect, the leftovers from the previous two days were warmed up in the microwave.

People who live alone tend to have little mind to spend much energy on food.

If there is only one person, no matter how delicious the food is, it will always lose some taste in your mouth.

But then again, before Aono moved into Kanda Yukie's house, her parents had just been killed, and she was living alone in this empty room.

So, I'll be able to adapt quickly, right? ’

Kanda Yukie swallowed the still warm meal, looked at the empty seat across the table, and still couldn't help but feel a sour nose.

"Sure enough, I can't adapt to it at all!"

The little girl lay on the table in frustration, and the more she thought about it, the more sour her her nose became.

After a while, the eyes were red, like a little white rabbit with red eyes.

Kanda Yukie has never been a particularly strong girl.

At first, he didn't even have a friend, so he could only pretend to be a little hedgehog and erect spikes all over his body to resist the kindness or malice of the outside world.

The only place I can cry is probably in my own bed.

After spending some time with Aono and then joining the Tokyo Rangers, the girl has finally grown up after experiencing many events that seemed incredible before.

But in the matter of Aono, she really can't treat it with a normal heart.

'No, no, no! ’

Kanda Yukie patted his cheek vigorously until his little face turned red from excessive force.

'I have to pull myself together!' ’

The girl cheered up, cleaned the table briefly, and piled the dishes and chopsticks in the sink, ready to pile up more and then wash them together.

Then, take a shower in the bathroom, change into pajamas, and go back to her bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Yukie Kanda turned on her phone.

Looking at that short text message, I read it over and over again several times.

- Aono

The idea of dialing the number appeared in Kanda Yukie's heart more than once, and then she dispelled it herself.

- Similar symptoms, which have been present in her since day one.

It's just that looking at the "important things" mentioned in the text message, Kanda Yukie still bites his lip and doesn't plan to disturb Aono.

"Already...... It's the tenth day......"

The little girl lay under the covers, muttering softly.

"Rumiko-san said that you left with Yuki Hino, why didn't you come with me?"

"They're looking for you all over the world, but they haven't found this, and it's really Aono-kun......"

"And Aono-kun......"

"Soon, it's Christmas."

The petite girl, recalling the scene on the street when she walked all the way.

Compared to the dangerous world that Aono is in now, the scene of the surface world can be said to be rare and peaceful.

Maybe it's because winter has arrived, and all kinds of strange activities have disappeared in recent days—not at all, but it's many times more stable than the previous days.

People's lives have also returned to peace.

Full of lust.

Once they return to normal life, people will subconsciously think that the incredible news and various events before are just accidental.

When the sky falls, you still have to eat!

When you settle down, you want to enjoy yourself.

On the streets, the atmosphere of Christmas is already very strong.

All kinds of warm-ups and propaganda are not much different from previous years.

For normal people, this year is a bit special, but that's all.

In their minds, all misfortunes will pass.

This past Christmas, there will be the next one, the next one, the next Christmas.

Where people can't see, there are always people who carry the load.

"I wanted to ...... with you at Christmas"

Kanda Yukie stared at the phone screen, her eyes not knowing what she was looking at.

Obviously, this situation is no different from before Aono came.

But now just thinking of her alone in this house made her heart empty, as if a corner was missing somewhere.

When did this change begin?

Did she start cooking for Aono?

Or did it start with her joining the Tokyo Rangers?

Or...... The day you came in from Aono?

Kanda Yukie was stunned to think about these things, and her mind was full of all kinds of things about Aono and about her.

'Without you, I could have done it alone. ’

Kanda Yukie thought quietly.

Just thinking about it, the tip of my nose began to sour again.

"Didi!"

A message suddenly flashed at the top of the phone screen.

The fuselage shook slightly.

It's just that the color of that message prompt is bright red!

Kanda Yukie sat up from the bed suddenly, and her face instantly became serious and serious, even with the little sadness and a little girlish feeling just now, all of which were left behind by her.

It's as if there's never been a girl like that here.

This bright red message can only come from the Tokyo Rangers!

In fact, it's the equivalent of the Tokyo Rangers' special app, which is installed on mobile phones and can bring a lot of convenience to these members.

For example, it can know where the nearest support is, and it can also inform the staffing and send out a distress signal in time.

In short, a very useful piece of software.

It's just that one of its most critical uses is actually to make announcements of various events!

The color is the level marker of the event.

Different grades, which are displayed, are naturally different colors.

And the bright red color is the event that starts at least A-class!

Don't underestimate the A-class, the riot caused by the giant starfish on the coast of Shonan was only AA-class at the beginning.

In such an incident, the casualty rate is at least 40%, and it is necessary for the transcendents to fill in with their lives!

Of course, if a transcendent like Aono leads the team, the casualty rate is completely different.

But the problem is that there is a real shortage of manpower!

Even during this relatively quiet time, it is not easy to meet Ayaka Hino.

The more powerful the transcendent, the less easy it is to meet.

By the way, Kanda Yukie's rating has long been upgraded to A.

And she's in a state of idleness right now — meaning she hasn't accepted any other events — so she's naturally accepted the prompt to come to the app.

To put it simply, the current Kanda Snow Painting is already the most reliable combat force in the vicinity!

Some people may think that this system is not advisable, why should they give up their rest time and fight for people they don't know?

Even in the end, no one even knew what they had done.

Yes, there are members of the Tokyo Rangers who think this way, and they are very passive or deliberately procrastinating in dealing with emergencies - this kind of person will exist at any time.

Again, never test human nature.

It's never something that stands the test.

But despite this, more people in the Tokyo Rangers are still willing to fight those weird people.

The heart is oriented to the light, so that you can stand in the darkness and not despair.

Most people who are willing to join the Tokyo Rangers have a kind heart and are willing to protect others.

For Kanda Yukie, her obsession is still to avenge her parents - as long as she drives all the weirdness out of this world, it is equivalent to fulfilling her obsession.

And one thing, if she hadn't stepped up at such times, would anyone really have come to her aid when the people she valued were attacked by weird people?

She thought of a short poem she hadn't seen a long time ago that she didn't know where -

"At first they hunted down the Communists, and I didn't say anything – because I wasn't a Communist;

Then they hunted down the Jews, and I didn't speak—for I wasn't a Jew;

Later they went after the unionists, and I didn't say anything – because I wasn't a unionist;

After this they went after the Catholics, and I did not speak—for I was a Protestant;

Finally they came to me, but no one stood up to speak for me. ”

This wave that has swept through the entire watch world may ..... No one can stay out of it at all.

Kanda Yukie quickly changed his clothes and prepared to rush to the area where the incident occurred.

It was only very soon that her phone vibrated violently.

Again and again.

One bright red prompt after another, flashed across the screen.

Kanda snow painted in place.

In just a few seconds, more than a dozen messages flashed, which means that at least a dozen A-level or above incidents have suddenly happened!

With the current high-level combat power of the Tokyo Rangers, it is almost impossible to solve all of these incidents.

"In the end...... What happened? ”

——————————

Compared to the rising turmoil and imminent storm in the watch world, Qingye in Stone Town is thinking about some questions that seem quite boring to others.

"I'm going to have to give you a name."

Aono turned his head to look at the black mist beside him.

The Spirit of the Black Mist—as she is called—was stunned at first, then delighted.

From the tone of the black mist, Aono not only heard the surprise, but also read a point or two of disbelief from it.

Like being given a name, is it a great thing for her?

Black Mist and Qing Ye have the same mind, but they retorted like this.

"So, what's the best name?"

Ignoring the reason why Black Mist was so excited for a moment, Aono asked again.

"It's better to call ...... Blackie? A little fog? ”

Black Mist:

Even Hei Mist, who had great reverence and affection for Aono, couldn't help but be silent when he heard this name, and he didn't know whether to refuse or accept it for a while.

Just when the black mist hesitated, thinking that since it was the name given by the master, it would be good to accept it.

Aono himself realized that something was wrong.

Before, he complained that the naming ability of the panel was not very good, but now that he thinks about it, is the root cause coming from him?

"Let me think about ....."

"Black...... Fog ......"

As Aono walked forward, he pondered for a long time, and finally had a stroke of inspiration and came up with a name that was not too bad.

"Why don't you call it ......?"

Black Mist, oh no, it's time to call it ink dyeing, and immediately said excitedly.

I want to make a decision on the name.

Compared to the indescribable names of "Little Black" and "Little Mist", the name Ink Dye sounds a lot better!

Aono actually just thought of the characteristics of the black mist, which stained the whole picture scroll black like ink, so he came up with this name, but he didn't expect her to be quite unexpected
