The first feeling of the flower shirt was not that it was a ghost, or unbelievable, but that it was sudden and very flustered.

That didn't last long, though.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little impatient, and since everyone was here, he didn't bother to waste time with this kind of little minions.

A probe, a tall and large flower shirt like a chicken, was choked by the back of the neck and fell into the hands of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi moves slowly, even with some grace.

He gently tucked the revolver into the right hand of the flower shirt, then grabbed his wrist and thoughtfully helped him hold the revolver against his head.

"I said, it's your turn, don't be in a daze."

"I see you're also a veteran, the gambling isn't that bad, right?"

As soon as the flower shirt wanted to speak, it was changed hands by Uesugi Kiyoshi, and it changed from grabbing the back of the neck to jamming the throat, and he could only stumble and couldn't spit out half a word.

He struggled to break away from Uesugi Kiyoshi's clamps, but the white and slender hands were as firm as steel shackles, and they didn't move.

His gaze turned from anger to fear, and finally to deep despair.

Uesugi Kiyoshi leaned into his ear and whispered.

"There's a hand in this gun, right? Looking at the way you look at your chest, can you control this kind of gamble? ”

"So... How many people have you killed with this Russian roulette? ”

"Have you ever thought that you too would die in a gambling game one day?"

"This is called retribution, be a good person in the next life..."

"Isn't it time to say, don't be my enemy in the next life--it's more imposing?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi muttered to himself, slowly pulling the fingers of Hana's shirt on the trigger.

Then, press down.

In full view, a second gunshot rang out.

Like a watermelon falling on the concrete floor, red and white splashing everywhere, this revolver looks quite powerful, shooting at close range, and the entire brain of the flower shirt is blown through.

The frightened corpse fell to the ground, and Uesugi Kiyoshi had no pity in his heart.

A mirage was released, blocking the blood and brains, and there was a muffled pop of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by screams one after another.

Those gamblers, just watching the managers of this casino? A headshot in front of them.

Kiyoshi Uesugi bends down? Picking up that revolver and smiling a little unconsciously? Hold down the hammer? Shoot into the sky.

It wasn't until the bullet was out that he let out a long laugh? Gather and yell.

"Everyone, it's time to get off work! It's closed! ”

"Come back tomorrow, right? How is it? ”

The scene has already become a mess.

Flamboyantly dressed men and women break free from the thrill of gambling? Running wildly, the casino staff were also frightened, and those Yakuza in black suits surrounded them menacingly, but there was some apprehension in their eyes.

The boss is dead? Rudderless ship? What to do?

A few of them wanted to touch the gun from their waists, but before they could stretch out their hands, they screamed miserably, hugged their arms and wailed.

Visible bone scars were carved into the arms, and blood gushed out like money.

Uesugi Kiyoshi has a thought? There is a sword aura that is full of energy, how can these mortals succeed?

He protected two girls behind him? Long with your hands behind your back and squinting? Waiting for the end of these gamblers.

What follows has nothing to do with mortals.

When people are threatened with their lives? It usually bursts with amazing action.

A lively venue? Less than five minutes? And the man is gone.

The scene was a mess, and even the black suit ran a lot.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his hand, kicked the corpse of the flower shirt on the ground, and turned to look at Fujimura Chiha.

"Alright, lead the way."

"I'm going to take a look further back as you said."

"It's a little strange, I deliberately made such a big noise, why hasn't anyone come out to check on the situation?"

"What a waste of my energy."

It may be the relationship between the demons, even if he saw such a bloody scene, Fujimura Chiba did not feel uncomfortable, but just walked forward in small steps very well-behaved and led the way for Uesugi Kiyoshi.

On the contrary, the apricot was a little discolored, she closed her eyes tightly, pulling the corners of Uesugi Kiyoshi's clothes, like a little pet, but she also followed firmly.

At the very back of the casino is a small door similar to the outside.

But now there are no more people standing in the way.

Pushing the door in, Uesugi Kiyoshi sniffed his nose first.

Some overly strong aromas linger on the tip of the nose.

He took a deep breath, and for a while his heart was a little hot, and his lust was even high.

“...”

"This is no longer an aphrodisiac drug, it's just an aphrodisiac, right?"

"What the hell, matryoshka dolls?"

"Inside the custom shop is a casino, and inside the casino is a serious kiln?"

"It's still a monk who calls the shots?"

"It's getting outrageous."

Uesugi Kiyoshi had different thoughts churning in her heart, but her footsteps did not stop.

The passage behind the door was longer than he had expected, and it was diagonally downward, and it wasn't long before a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.

It didn't look like a Yakuza watching the scene, the lights in the passage were dim, and Uesugi Kiyoshi could see clearly, it was a skinny little girl.

Moreover, this back is somewhat familiar.

Before he could say anything, Chiwa Fujimura, who was leading the way in front, suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Sunflowers?"

"Why are you here?"

Fujimura Chiba's call immediately made the little girl turn her head vigilantly.

The first thing she saw was Chiba Fujimura's face.

Some of the childish but very cute smiles immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Sister Thousand Feathers!"

"I... I'm here to find my sister! ”

"It's been a long time since I got off work, and my sister hasn't come home yet, I'm anxious, worried that something will happen to my sister, just... I'm looking for my sister! ”

"When I came in, there was no guard at the door, there seemed to be something big going on in the casino, everyone didn't notice me, I was short, and I couldn't see clearly, so I secretly looked around for my sister, but I didn't find it."

"It's strange, my sister is obviously a waitress here."

"As a result, I found such a small door and snuck in to take a look."

"Sister Qianyu, have you seen my sister?"

The skinny little girl came running on her short legs.

Chiba Fujimura explained in a low voice to Kiyoshi Uesugi.

"My lord, she's Shiina Sunflower, the sister of one of my seniors, and that senior is also a waiter here, and when I first came, she took good care of me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was a little wrong, he clenched his fists, and asked in a condensed voice, "What's her sister's name?" ”

Fujimura Chiwa blinked inexplicably, as if she didn't understand why Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone was suddenly so serious, but she still answered truthfully.

"Kikyo - her name is Shiina Kikyo."

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed.

"It turns out... Your name is Kikyo..."

While they were talking, the little girl had already run up to them.

Before she could talk to Chiba Fujimura, she saw Kiyoshi Uesugi's face.

The little girl covered her mouth and let out a short exclamation, followed by surprise on her face.

"Brother Uesugi!"

"Why are you here?"

"Sunflower misses you so much~"

Shiina Sunflower stumbled over and hugged Uesugi Kiyoshi's thigh, she looked like she was about ten years old, and it was not against the law to do this.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled intricately and touched Sunflower's little head.

"yes, Sunflower, long time no see."

Uesugi Kiyoshi has seen sunflowers, to be precise, he has seen the Shiina sisters.

His relationship with them is that of neighbors.

Uesugi Kiyoshi once told Maki Higashifumi the story of him and the young lady who worked at the Fengyue place.

The main characters of the story are a pair of sisters who live in Arakawa Ward as his neighbors.

The younger sister is the sunflower in front of her.

Sunflower's older sister is busy with various part-time jobs every day.,Pay off the debts left by her parents.,Often away from home.,When Uesugi Kiyoshi comes home.,Sometimes I see Sunflower waiting for my sister to get off work alone.。

The kind of mixed places in Arakawa Ward are not very safe, and Uesugi Kiyoshi will often be moved by compassion, he will find something to do at the door, look at the sunflowers, chat with her, and wait until her sister comes home, Uesugi Kiyoshi will go home.

Compared to Shiina Kikyo, Uesugi Kiyoshi is more familiar with sunflowers.

Before today, he didn't even know that the beautiful woman with a gentle face, but bent over by the weight of life, and a dusty face but still undiminished temperament, was called "Kikyo".

They didn't even say a few words between themselves.

Even after the accidental hero saved the United States, the sisters moved away in a hurry, without even saying hello, and have lost contact since then, a long time ago.

It's been so long that they're all about to disappear into Uesugi Kiyoshi's memory.

Awakened from the memory, Uesugi Kiyoshi's face suddenly changed.

Chiba Fujimura vaguely mentioned that she seemed to have been sold to this shop by her unscrupulous mother, dedicated to a monk.

So, this is not the first time this store has done this kind of thing.

They seem to have a soft spot for young and beautiful girls.

Sunflower said that her sister didn't come home after work...

She won't be in danger!

Uesugi Kiyoshi has a good impression of Shiina Kikyo.

It has nothing to do with occupation, appearance, temperament.

It's just that he simply thinks that a girl who is only twenty years old, alone with enough debts to crush an adult, and has to raise a younger sister who has just entered elementary school, she can live so hard, it is already a respectable thing.

For example, Fujimura Chiba, the waste father, didn't he choose to cut himself off?

Shiina Kikyo's situation is much more serious than that coward.

But she chose to live strong for her sister.

This choice can earn the respect of Kiyoshi Uesugi.

This kind of person should not be miserably.

Therefore, when there were gangsters who did something to Shiina Kikyo, Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't get used to it, and he wasn't afraid of causing trouble.

So, now Uesugi Kiyoshi is a little anxious in his heart.

Since the memory of his previous life recovered, he was extremely unwilling to "not be able to protect the people around him".

He had lost so much.

Uesugi Kiyoshi no longer grinds, he stepped out with an arrow, and his body was like a ghost.

The group behind him was left behind.

At his speed, no matter how long the passage is, it will be stepped on in an instant.

A few seconds later, the iron door at the end of the passage was kicked open by him.

The smell of blood in his nose made his bad premonition even stronger.

Behind the door is a large hall with a traditional Japanese tatami design and a number of futons on the floor.

The smell of aphrodisiac drugs becomes extremely strong.

The purpose is naked body intertwining - there are several pairs of men and women, who are struggling on the futon, the women screaming and the men sprinting hard, and they are deaf to the intrusion of people.

Uesugi glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't see that familiar face.

But when he looked sideways, his expression froze.

In the corner of the wall on the side, leaning on a dying figure.

The ordinary face, obscured by the blood-stained hair, slowly overlapped with the delicate face in his heart.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt like his breathing was about to stagnate.

After all... One step late?

What if I were... If you don't rub it off, can you save her?

The idea of meaningless self-blame came to his heart, and he forcibly suppressed it.

Step by step, he approached the corner and slowly leaned down.

Shiina Kikyo wears the costume of a somewhat revealing waiter, but not too much, with long hair spread out, and half of his head is soaked in blood, which should be the impact of a heavy object.

There was a knife in her lower abdomen, blood pooled under her, and the dagger that was the murder weapon was still stuck in her lower abdomen, but she held it in her own hand.

This look is like self-termination.

"Did you commit suicide because you didn't want to be insulted?"

"That's why you were left in this corner?"

Uesugi pursed her lips and reached out to brush Shiina Kikyo's hair aside.

Although the chest of the person in front of her was still rising and falling slightly, Uesugi Kiyoshi clearly sensed that she had taken in more air and less air out.

It can't be saved, this kind of injury is just a mortal, even if it uses the means of the association, it can't be saved.

Probably sensing someone approaching, Shiina Kikyo's eyes opened a small slit.

Then, she reluctantly opened her mouth and raised her hand, making an inaudible sound.

"It's... Is it Uesugi-kun? ”

"I... Am I already dead, and I'm hallucinating? ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi had just called for the possession of the power of the gods today, and he was already a little restless, but being urged by this unpleasant aroma, coupled with seeing such a scene, made him upset, and he was not as calm as usual at all.

He took Shiina Kikyo's hand and slowly carried a trace of mirage over.

It didn't help her hurt, but it at least gave her a little more strength to speak.

Shiina Kikyo's body was moistened by mirage, and it really got a little better.

Her voice was a little louder.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head, his voice low and terrifying.

"No, I'm not hallucinating, it's a coincidence that I'm here - sorry, I'm late."

He didn't even know what to say.

What can be said to such a dying man?

Even if Shiina Kikyo's face is stained with blood, you can see that she was a little charming before, and she is an out-and-out beauty.

I breathed faintly a few times, and I don't know if she understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi said.

"Isn't it a hallucination, it seems that God treats me well, and I can even see Uesugi-kun before I die."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was silent and did not speak.

Shiina Kikyo seemed to have opened a conversation, and his tone was a lot quicker.

"That's right, sunflowers, sunflowers!"

"What should I do with the sunflowers..."

"Uesugi-kun, I know it's rude to say that, but can you please take care of it for me... Take care of the sunflowers. ”

"If I die, what will she do alone..."

The dying sister never forgot her sister's name when she was dying.

Uesugi Kiyoshi only felt that his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.

But if he didn't speak again, he was afraid that the person in front of him would never get his response again.

"I know... Don't worry, I will take care of Sunflower, she will grow up in peace, have her own life, and no one can hurt her, I promise. ”

Hearing these words in Shiina Kikyo's ears, she seemed to let go of a thousand pounds of burden.

"Uesugi-kun, thank you, you're always so reliable."

“...”

"I, if only I had met you sooner."

"Before our family became like this, maybe it wouldn't have been so hard if I could meet you, right?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's fists turned white, and he looked at the person in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"Huh... Hah..."

"Don't be like that, Uesugi-kun, don't be so sad."

"Death is a relief for me."

"I'm so tired..."

"I just can't let go of the sunflowers, and now I'm throwing them at you, isn't it a little selfish..."

"Let me be selfish one last time."

Shiina Kikyo's face became a little more normal, but Uesugi Kiyoshi felt sour.

It's a return to light, and the mirage is useless.

"Uesugi-kun, do you know?"

"From the bankruptcy of my family, I dropped out of school to work, and I tried my best to be warm and cold that many people have never experienced in their lives."

"The guests at the place where I work look at me with lustful eyes, and they can't wait to pull off my clothes."

"The neighbors looked at me with disdain, and the women hated me so much that it seemed that I would seduce their men at any moment, and the men looked at me with lewd desires in their eyes."

"It's a bitch anyway, why don't you play with me, I know they say it in their hearts."

“...”

"It's just you, Uesugi-kun, and only you look at me in the eyes, the cleanest."

"You didn't discriminate against me, and you didn't look down on me."

"You help me take care of the sunflowers, and help me get rid of those ill-intentioned thugs..."

"Thank you... Thank you. ”

Shiina Kikyo grabbed Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand and suddenly forced.

"I, I want to say."

"Uesugi-kun, I... I'm clean. ”

"I laugh and drink with people, but I don't sleep with people!"

"I... I'm not that shitty! ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded, his voice very nasal.

"I know, otherwise, with such a beautiful face of yours, the debt or something would have been paid off a long time ago, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Shiina Kikyo's face suddenly bloomed with a strange and dazzling smile.

"Uesugi-kun, do you really think I'm pretty?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation.

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, you're beautiful."

"That's... Does Uesugi-kun like it? ”

The girl asked worriedly, and the glint in her eyes faded rapidly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi held Shiina Kikyo's hand tightly.

He looked straight into the girl's eyes, word by word.

"I love it."

In the next second, he felt Shiina Kikyo's hand loosen and hang down weakly.

She fell to the side, silent.

Just the smile on his face, it was more satisfying than ever.
