A small black shadow touched the stairwell, very slender, and his movements were relatively brisk, and his voice was not even lit - not even the voice-activated sensor light was on.

The black shadow didn't care if there was any light, and moved to the top of the stairs, and sat down on the steps.

Naoto Yoshiwara held his breath and watched for a moment, and found that the black shadow was unaware of him—he was cowering in the corner behind the black shadow.

Also, in the middle of the night, who would have thought that someone would huddle in the corner of the stairwell?

The black shadow looked like a girl, with a soft and slender body, it should be a girl, and she was sitting there at this moment, with her elbows on her knees and her chin in a daze.

In the dark, the girl sat like a stone sculpture for a long time, and Naoto Yoshiwara felt a little uncomfortable.

The girl didn't come at him, she was probably a resident of this apartment building, maybe she had some worries, maybe she was simply insomnia, and she ran into the stairwell in the middle of the night to get nervous......

So the question is, do you speak up or not?

Naoto Yoshihara hesitated for a moment, and decided to be an "invisible person", maybe this girl will sit for a while and leave, and those who are blind in the black light may not be able to see themselves, so don't worry about it.

The girl sat down for a while, and with her little face up, she muttered to herself, "What did I do wrong? I haven't done anything bad, why am I so unlucky...... Why do you want to blame me, I don't want to......"

The girl's voice was soft and beautiful, but there was a hint of sadness and dissatisfaction in her tone. She sat there with a long sigh, one after another, and then looked at the night sky from the window, and again she was stupidly distracted for a long time, and slowly hugged her knees and began to sob.

She didn't dare to be too loud, just whimpered in a low voice, full of helplessness, like a young beast in a trap. Voice-activated sensor lights also come to join in the fun, turning on and off for a while, often rendering the atmosphere like a suspense movie.

Naoto Yoshiwara silently watched the crying girl from behind, helpless. He dug into his pocket boredly, took out the cigarette case, opened it and sniffed it, then twisted a few pieces of chopped tobacco leaves and chewed them in his mouth.

The girl cried for a while, and her mood seemed to be better, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, knelt down and bowed to the air with her hands together: "Lord Inari, please bless Dad, don't let him starve from the cold...... Almighty Lord, I hope my sister will not be angry anymore...... Compassionate Mano Bodhisattva, I hope my luck will be better, no, as long as it's not too bad, please!"

She stood up after bowing, stunned for a moment, and turned to see Naoto Yoshiwara munching tobacco leaves with an innocent face - what a coincidence, the voice-activated sensor light happened to be on at this moment.

Suddenly seeing someone cowering behind her, the girl's eyes were wide open, her mouth was open, she was stupid, and after a moment she couldn't help but take a step back suddenly—behind her were steps, and she was about to fall down when she stepped on it.

Naoto Yoshihara has a bitter face - the consequences of being too suspicious, I should have known that I should have said hello normally!

He had a bitter face, but he couldn't see the girl fall. He bounced up like a spring compressed to the extreme, reached out and dragged the girl back with lightning speed, covering her mouth and covering her screams directly.

Suddenly held hostage by a stranger, the girl's eyes were full of horror, her delicate little face was distorted, and her body was as stiff as a piece of wood, and then she shivered uncontrollably, shaking her head desperately, twisting her body and struggling.

Naoto Yoshihara screamed in his stomach, but he couldn't let the girl scream loudly - seeing this girl scared like this, the screams might shatter the glass, and maybe wake up half of the people in the apartment building, and then the yellow mud would fall into the crotch of his pants, and no one would believe it if it wasn't!

The girl struggled hard, and Naoto Yoshihara had to tighten his arms, firmly controlling the girl and not letting her move, and he also added strength to his hands, for fear that the girl's voice would come out - the girl was weak and weak, and it was not difficult to control, Naoto Yoshihara mainly focused on controlling the strength, for fear that he would directly cover the girl to death if he used too much force.

He just wants to sit here and wait for the dawn, what's the matter of killing a strange girl for some reason?

The girl couldn't move at all, a look of despair slowly appeared on her delicate face, and two lines of tears slowly flowed out of a pair of beautiful apricot eyes. After a few moments, Naoto Yoshihara found that the girl had given up the struggle, and was weakly slumped in the crook of his arm, looking pitiful as if she had accepted her fate and let it be slaughtered.

A smile appeared on Naoto Yoshihara's face, and that smile was very gentle and kind, the kind of smile that the tiger couldn't help but want to make friends with him when he saw it, and said softly: "Madam, now I let go of my hand, please don't applaud?"

The girl was stunned for a long time, feeling like her brain was stiff and couldn't turn at all.

It took a long time for the girl to come back to her senses, and she nodded hesitantly, not knowing what was waiting for her-she was really a person who was rejected by God, and her luck was ridiculously bad, and she would be kidnapped inexplicably even at the door of her house......

Naoto Yoshihara slowly let go, then slowly retreated a few steps, raised his hands in a surrender to show no bad intentions, and said with full apology: "I'm really sorry to scare you...... However, I came first. ”

The girl lost Naoto Yoshiwara's grip and shook it twice and collapsed to the ground like mud - her eyes lost their brightness, and she didn't react to Naoto Yoshiwara's words, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

She couldn't help it with this look, so she had to take a few steps back, and said in a soft voice: "Madam, I'm not a villain, please believe me...... I won't hurt you, please take a deep breath, yes, yes, that's it...... Inhale, exhale, and inhale again...... I promise I will never hurt you. ”

The girl finally reacted to Naoto Yoshiwara's words, and she instinctively took a few deep breaths as Naoto Yoshiwara suggested, and gradually there was some light in her eyes. She stood up tremblingly, a little overwhelmed by the face of Naoto Yoshiwara, and after a moment began to slowly retreat - she wanted to escape, but she was afraid of the terrible consequences of angering Naoto Yoshiwara.

Naoto Yoshiwara hurriedly stopped her: "Madam!"

"Hey?!" the girl immediately didn't dare to move, just stood there shivering.

Naoto Yoshihara has no way to retreat, he is already standing against the wall, and if he wants to give the girl a sense of security, he has to go into the wall. He had no choice but to say, "There are steps behind you, be careful to fall down." "If this girl falls and her neck is broken or her head blooms, who is it?

The girl looked back, then at Naoto Yoshiwara, and found that the two sides were quite far away at this time, and finally barely calmed down. She peeked at Naoto Yoshiwara and found that his eyes were clear, his smile was kind, and his clothes were clean and neat, and she noticed the backpack in the corner, and finally seemed to understand a little.

Yoshiwara Naoto found that the girl was not trembling, and he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam, the contemptible person's name is Yoshiwara Naoto, Kansai people, I am sorry for disturbing you by taking a break here temporarily...... I'm sorry, I beg your pardon!" With that, he bowed.

"Ah......" The girl was a little flustered, and instinctively bowed in return: "No, I bothered you, Mr. Yoshihara, I'm really sorry!" She finished bowing, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have been saved by the person in front of her, and felt a little rude, so she hurriedly bowed again, "It's rude, I'm Miki Momomiya, thank you......" She doesn't have a good brain right now, and she can't think of how to thank Naoto Yoshihara for saving her from falling down the stairs.

Moreover, he was so frightened by him that he almost lost his footing, and was pulled back by him, does this mean that he saved himself?

Naoto Yoshihara also returned the salute - the people of Toei are like this, everyone doesn't bow to each other a few times, this is impossible to say.

"Miss Momomiya, you're welcome, I scared you, and I apologize again. ”

"Hey, ah, no, it's my fault!" Miki Momonomiya replied weakly, and asked cautiously, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Yoshihara, I—I'm ...... Can I leave?" she was nervous at the last few words, her fists clenched in her lower abdomen and trembling slightly.

Naoto Yoshiwara then realized that he was next to the door of the stairwell. He smiled apologetically, slowly retreated to the stairs leading to the ninth floor, and said, "Of course, please!"

Miki Momomiya was wary of Naoto Yoshiwara as she moved to the door and prepared to leave. At this time, Naoto Yoshiwara shouted softly: "Miss Momomiya!"

Miki Momomiya's body stiffened, she didn't dare to move the doorknob, she didn't dare to look back, and asked in a trembling voice, "Hi, you...... What else do you command?"

Naoto Yoshihara pondered for a moment, then said sincerely, "Miss Momomiya, I'm not a villain...... I just have nowhere to go, I want to rest here, please don't call the police, please!"

"Ahh......h Nowhere to go...... I see, that's great...... Ah, no, it's not good, it's really...... Yes, yes, I see...... I'm not going to call the police. After stammering gibberish for a while, Miki Momonomiya asked in a trembling voice, "Do you have any other orders?"

Naoto Yoshihara bowed slightly: "No, Miss Momonomiya, I wish you a good night!"

The girl hurriedly bowed sideways and saluted, "Good night, Mr. Yoshihara!" and she exited the door, followed by a rush of footsteps, followed by a heavy "snap".

Naoto Yoshihara hurriedly pushed open the door and took a look, only to see Miki Momonomiya fall to the ground - one of the shoes flew out. She didn't cry out of pain, struggled to get up, and fled home with a shoe and a cigarette.

Naoto Yoshihara closed the door, touched his chin and sighed again, wondering if Miki Momonomiya would recruit the police. After thinking for a moment, he went back and sat down.

Let's talk about it when the police come, if it doesn't work, go up to the roof and jump to other buildings, it's not a big deal.

He rolled another cigarette and smoked it.

Before he finished his cigarette, his ears moved again, and the door to the stairwell was gently pushed open again......

Naoto Yoshihara looked towards the door, facing a pair of almond eyes in the crack of the door, and Miki Momonomiya returned.

Anyway, this is not a small courage!

She looked a little uneasy and stammered, "Please don't dislike ......," she said, pushing a tray through the crack in the door, which she herself was still hiding.

The tray was completely inside, and she glanced at Naoto Yoshiwara with watery eyes, and there was a strange look in her eyes, as if gratitude and sympathy were mixed together.

She bowed her head and saluted, and closed the door again.

Naoto Yoshihara leaned over and dragged the tray over to take a look, a bowl of rice, a pot of tea, a plate of pickles, half a hard-boiled egg and a small bag of instant sauce......

Naoto Yoshihara checked the food once, and there was no problem, it was food, something that could be eaten, and no harmful substances were added, so ......

What does that mean? Is it to thank yourself for saving her? to thank you for not killing, or to think of yourself as a vagabond?
