The young officer hurried in, sweat on his forehead and anxious eyes in his eyes.

"Your Excellency Jason! Excellency Jason! ”

When Urajima saw Jason, he shouted again and again.

What was already a fast speed has become even faster.

The young officer raised his hand to grab Jason's arm, but Jason dodged him without a trace.

Urashima stumbled and almost fell.

The old monk of Tong Shou Temple raised his hand to support the other party.

"Don't worry, take your time."

The old monk said kindly.

The voice is soft, with a soothing feeling.

Almost instantly, Urashima calmed down.

The young officer took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Here's the thing—"

……

Urashima, who was worried about paying the bill again last night, refused to go to the 'Glowing Restaurant' with righteous words, and went straight home.

After a hot bath and heated milk, Urashima felt the beauty of the world.

Nothing special, after the hair was blow-dry, Urashima fell into a deep sleep.

Until 6:15 a.m.

This is the time he normally wakes up.

After a little activity, Urashima began to exercise: a morning jog.

This is a habit that Urashima has developed since he was a student.

In the same way, there are not many people who have such habits.

Therefore, Urashima also has a lot of friends who go for a morning jog.

However, everyone seems to be a little busy lately, and there is only one young girl named 'Yukiko' who insists on exercising with him every morning.

Yukiko is a college student at a nearby university.

In order to make it easier to work, I didn't live in the dormitory of the school, but rented a single apartment nearby, which is not in the same neighborhood as the single apartment on Urashima, but not far away.

"Morning, Urashima!"

Kiko and Urashima in a white tracksuit greeted each other.

The smile is kind and hearty.

As always, it's good-looking.

"Morning, there is Kiko."

Urashima responded with a smile.

For pretty ladies, especially the younger ones, few men can resist.

Urashima is no exception.

However, Urashima is self-aware.

He knew exactly what he could and couldn't do.

Therefore, Urashima is unwilling to think about superfluous things.

He just regarded Yukiko as a partner for morning exercises.

"Let's get started?"

Urashima asked.

"Okay, 5km at a constant pace!"

Yukiko nodded, and then, the female college student shouted.

Both started at the same time.

There is no competition, and there is no competition.

It is the companionship of mutual exercise.

With this in mind, mutual small talk has become normal.

Urashima will talk about some work things.

It's the kind of thing that doesn't violate discipline and can make people more vigilant.

Yukiko is talking about campus life.

Today, however, is a little different.

"Urashima, do you remember 'Ah Shi'?"

Yukiko asked.

"Ashi?"

"Is that the girl with a single ponytail who is good at sports?"

Urashima asked.

Ah Shi, a classmate of Youxiko, is very good at sports, participates in sprinting, jumping and other clubs, and is also a well-known kind in Yukiko's university, and it is rumored that she won a full scholarship.

I also ran with him twice.

It's really amazing.

He's not an opponent at all.

After being brought into the rhythm, he was out of breath for a few minutes and had to disarm and surrender.

Because of this, the girl named Ah Shi stopped coming to him after two times.

"Well, that's her."

"She's been in a bit of trouble lately."

Yukiko nodded, looking a little hesitant.

Urashima has seen too much of this hesitation.

Everyone who asks him for help, so it is.

"Don't worry."

"I'll do everything I can to help her."

"What's going on?"

Urashima smiled gently.

He was reassuring Yukiko, hoping that Yukiko would tell him in detail and clarity what had happened.

Only in this way will he be able to better help the girl named Ah Shi.

"Ah Shi seems to be entangled by someone."

"She said it was relatives or something, but I didn't feel like it."

"Those people are vicious-looking."

Yukiko said.

"Is that so?"

"I see."

"I'll deal with it when we're done."

Urashima breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought something was going on.

I see.

A good-looking girl will always encounter trouble like this.

But are those guys too bold?

Dare to pester the students in the school?

Or is there something wrong with Miss Ashie in the hands of these bastards?

Although he is still a half-newcomer, following Ryosuke, Urashima has seen a lot of things.

Similar to this kind of bastard, he generally does not dare to cross the line.

It's not 'faith' or 'righteousness' or anything like that.

It's just that these bastards can't afford the consequences.

So, once the line is crossed.

There is definitely a reason for it.

And whatever it is, Urashima intends to take care of it.

After all, if a girl like Ash is entangled with those bastards, there will definitely be no good end.

The whole life is torn apart, and that's all easy.

The most terrifying thing is that life is better than death.

It seemed that after hearing Urashima's assurance, Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief.

Yukiko, who had a smile on her face again, ran forward for about a few hundred meters before speaking again.

"Urashima, do you have an impression of 'Guizi'?"

Arikiko asked.

"Guizi?"

"Is that the girl who loves the outdoors?"

"Ran with us before."

Urashima recalled a little, and he recalled a very cheerful girl in his mind.

The other party laughs every time he appears.

From time to time, he would pat him on the shoulder, and then hand him the kettle in his hand.

Compared with Ashi, Guizi often comes.

They know each other well.

I have eaten twice.

"Of course I do."

"Didn't we make an appointment for pancakes before?"

"She made me pancakes with her own hands."

Urashima replied.

"Hmm."

"At the time, she was smiling a lot."

"The pancakes are delicious too."

Yukiko smiled and nodded, as if recalling the situation.

"What's wrong with her?"

Urashima continued to ask.

"She's fine."

Yukiko replied.

This made Urashima a little embarrassed.

Scratched his head as he ran.

"I thought something had happened to your son."

Urashima became more and more embarrassed.

With Ah Shi just now, he thought that something had happened to Guizi.

As a result, he thought too much.

That's right, how can there be such a coincidence.

will appear next to Yukiko continuously.

"Urashima, you are really, where can there be such a coincidental thing, appearing by my side continuously!"

"I just wanted to say that Takako wanted to ask us to continue eating pancakes."

While running side by side with Urashima, Yukiko gently patted Urashima's arm.

This kind of intimate behavior made Urashima's face turn red.

"Urashima, do you remember 'Mai'?"

Yukiko continued.

"Mai?"

"Remember, remember."

"A soft and weak little girl in a white dress with a ball-haired head."

"We invited her to run before."

"But after running a few hundred meters, I can't run."

"I remember she bought a new dress last week, right?"

Urashima said.

"yes!"

"I accompanied her to buy it."

"But how do you know about Urashima?"

Yukiko asked curiously.

"We had a number with her, she told me personally at the time - she also said that she was learning to make cakes recently, and she would invite us to eat them when they were ready."

Urashima replied naturally.

This naturalness is not camouflaged, but really natural.

In his opinion, there is nothing to hide from such a thing.

Especially for Yukiko, Urashima thinks that he should not hide it.

However, Urashima, who ran forward, didn't notice Yukiko's somewhat gloomy face at all.

Urashima ran two steps forward only to realize that Yukiko hadn't followed.

Subconsciously, the young officer turned around.

"Yukiko, what's wrong?"

Urashima looked at the expression that was a little wrong, and Yukiko couldn't help but ask.

"Urashima, you're a policeman, right?"

Arikiko asked.

"yes, rookie cop."

"I'm still a rookie, but I'm going to try to be a good cop like Officer Ryosuke, and ...... Be like Lord Jason and be a real man. ”

Urashima was a little embarrassed.

Becoming a police officer has been his dream since he was a child.

For this reason, Urashima has suffered a lot.

It's just that what Urashima didn't expect was that the police were even more bitter than he imagined.

However, he will inevitably accept these tribulations.

Because, he has a goal to chase!

Ryosuke!

Still......

Jason!

"Excellency Jason?"

About Ryosuke, Yukiko knows.

But Jason is an unfamiliar name.

Suddenly, it attracted the attention of Yukiko.

"Your Excellency Jason, someone I've only known in the past two days."

"A very charismatic person."

"Not only are they strong, they're tall, but they're also very warm-hearted."

When it comes to being strong, Urashima's eyes light up a little.

When it comes to a strong body, Urashima is quite concerned.

If he didn't want to be stronger, he wouldn't exercise every day, and he was mainly anaerobic and supplemented by aerobics, with muscle-building meals every day.

But I don't know why, the effect is always so insignificant.

And the gym he goes to, which also always goes out of business.

Either there was an accident, or the boss fled with the money.

It really made him unable to exercise with peace of mind.

Recently, however, I heard that there is a new 'Silver Gym'.

Maybe a good choice.

Urashima thought.

"Urashima, you want to go to a new gym again?"

Arikiko asked.

"yes."

"The nearest gym is just too exaggerated."

"Run away at every turn."

"I obviously want to exercise in peace."

Urashima sighed in annoyance.

"Exercise with peace of mind?"

"The female members are all around."

"How can you exercise with peace of mind in Urashima?"

Arikiko asked.

"Hey, how do you know about Yukiko?"

Urashima looked at Yukiko curiously.

He doesn't remember talking to Yukiko about these things.

"Of course I guessed."

"Urashima, you are so gentle, there will definitely be a group of people pestering you."

"Under such a premise, it is natural for them to not concentrate on exercising, and it is natural for them to have some problems, for example, when squatting, the lumbar vertebrae are broken, when bench pressing, they are smashed by a barbell, or they are simply headshot with dumbbells or something."

"It's all normal."

Yukiko said with a smile, her face was very gentle, as if she was explaining the facts.

Urashima felt a little strange, but he felt that Yukiko had some truth in what he said, and coupled with the consumption of oxygen and physical strength during running, he didn't think much about it at all, so he left this question behind.

"Whew, swoop."

"It's really not easy to run 5 kilometers in a row."

Urashima, who had finished running, gasped for breath.

"yes."

"But if you're with Urashima, it's not unbearable to have 5 kilometers."

"Let's challenge 10km next time, shall we?"

Arikiko asked.

"10 km?"

"That's not going to be easy."

"You have to go to school, I have to go to work, and if you run 10 kilometers, the rest of the day is not so easy to deal with, so ...... Shall we start with 6 km? ”

Urashima asked after taking a few breaths.

Although he loves to exercise, he also has to think about a day's work.

Especially when chasing criminals, if you have weak legs, you will definitely be misunderstood.

"Okay."

"Six kilometres is also a good start."

Yukiko showed that gentle smile.

"And we'll see you tomorrow?"

Urashima, whose breath had calmed down, asked.

"Okay."

Yukiko nodded.

After that, Urashima returned home as usual.

The route of the two runs is a circle, and when they reach the finish line, they return separately.

This is a tacit understanding that has been formed over a long period of time.

However, today is a little different.

When Urashima walked back, Yukiko silently followed behind.

After walking more than ten meters, Urashima found Yukiko behind him.

"What's wrong, Yukiko?"

Urashima asked curiously.

"Urashima, have you never been weird?"

"When you first started running, there were a dozen people working out together in the morning."

"Why are we two left?"

Arikiko asked with a smile.

"Maybe there's something wrong with everyone, right?"

Urashima frowned and replied uncertainly.

"What about Shi, Guizi and Mai?"

"The three of them are my former roommates."

Yukiko continued to smile and asked.

"Ashi?"

"It's that I'm too bad to keep up with her."

"Takako's words...... I prefer outdoor deep swimming. ”

"Mai?"

"She's not well."

Urashima replied that he didn't think anything was wrong.

Arikiko blinked.

Just look at Urashima.

And then—

Poof.

Arikiko smiled.

"Do you know Urashima?"

"I just like your stupid look, if someone else should have noticed something wrong, you still choose to believe me."

"Ashi, I originally wanted to take advantage of it to take our relationship further, but now I don't need it, I can't help it, I can't help it anymore - I want you to merge with me."

"We don't want to separate each other!"

Yukiko continued to laugh.

It's just that such a smile has become strange in Urashima's eyes, and it has become indescribably weird.

Even the surrounding morning sun became cold.

There is a sense of bleakness.

"You ......"

"Takako, I made pancakes."

"Mai, I made a cake."

"Those people around you are also killed by me."

"You're all mine alone."

Yukiko took a deep breath, as if it was a declaration, and said-

"I love you!"
