At the fourth pier in the port area, the sky is slightly bright, the sun is slowly rising from the horizon, and the sky is white.

The snow is still falling, and it's getting heavier.

The thin layer of snow on the ground was smeared red, dazzling to the point of blindness.

Zero Shogu quickly ran to Ritsu Sasashima's side and crouched down, the only remaining sanity that made him call out the name of McCarron instead of Ritsu Sasasima.

“Macallan？！ Wake up, Macallan!! ”

His vision had already blurred, his pupils were gradually dilated, and he could hear Zero's voice, but Ritsu Sasashima had no way to respond, and wanted to move his fingers to tell him that he was still alive, so that he could calm down and not be suspected by the members of the organization who rushed to him.

"Don't fall asleep! Don't you want me to pay you for your phone? I buy... I'll buy you as expensive as it gets! ”

"Aren't you still looking forward to fish and chips? Can I do it for you every day? ”

"Please—don't sleep!"

Don't sleep, don't leave me, Ritsu.

The plea gradually turned into a plea, and Zero's voice gradually trembled as he found himself trying to cover Ritsu Sasashima's hand, but he couldn't.

It was so cold that the tears in his eyes condensed, and he leaned down against his chest.

There was no heartbeat anymore.

I can't feel the rhythm of my heartbeat anymore.

There was a sound of footsteps beside him, and he drew his pistol vigilantly, but he was first pressed against his head, he slowly put down his raised hand, despair occupied his reason, and if he died now, he should still be able to walk with Ritsu.

Even if you have a companion, you won't be alone.

"Bourbon, why are you here?"

With an unfamiliar voice, Falling Valley Zero turned his head and saw a woman wearing a thin white shirt with long silver hair, and even her two eyes were different in color, her left eye was blue and her right eye was transparent.

Who is she?

"Who are you... Is it the people of the organization? ”

"Answer my question first, Bourbon."

Falling Gu Ling raised his hands above his head, and he frowned as he gradually calmed down: "I was on a mission with Macallan before, and his mobile phone suddenly couldn't get through, and he couldn't find anyone, so I tried to look around and appeared here." ”

There was no sign of lying.

In fact, Curacao had been there all the time, and had even witnessed Ley shoot at The Macallan. Mr.'s voice came from inside the headset, and Curacao put away his gun and said, "I'm Curacao, give me Macallan." ”

Curaçao? She's actually Rum's confidant Curacao... It turned out to be a woman.

Falling Valley Zero frowned and wondered, "Where are you going to take Macallan?" ”

"It's common sense to recover the corpses of members of the organization who failed in their mission, Bourbon."

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Zero stood up and looked at Curacao who picked up Ritsu Sasashima's body, it was really incongruous for a boy who was nearly 1.9 meters tall to be carried by a girl.

Corpse.

Oh, even if you don't want to face it? Ritsu can't come back, he sleeps here forever, on the snow day he hates the most.

Curacao's figure gradually disappeared from his field of vision, the last light in his purple-gray pupils extinguished, and all that remained was an infinite void.

Falling Gu Zero looked down at the blood stains on his body, all of which were Ritsu's blood, and his trembling hands touched the residual blood, as if he was still by his side.

The white of the fish belly on the edge of the sky gradually dyed pink, and he raised his eyes to look...

Ritsu, the sunrise is beautiful, I watched it for you.

Rest long, my dear friend.

.

In the dark room, a shrill alarm rang.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was in the warm quilt, raised his hand and grabbed it, and easily disintegrated the alarm clock in a half-awake and half-asleep state.

There was no noise distraction that allowed him to go back to sleep directly, and no one could hinder his date with the bed.

No, there are still people who can.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open directly, and Kenji Hagiwara, who was standing at the door wearing a medical blindfold in his right eye, shouted dissatisfiedly: "Jinhei! How long are you going to sleep? Have you forgotten that there is an important meeting to take place this morning? ”

“…… Well, Hagi you, just sleep for another three minutes. ”

"Nope."

"A minute is always fine, right?"

Kenji Hagiwara didn't want to bargain with him, and he could only use one trick to subdue this guy. He leaned against the door frame and clasped his hands in front of his chest, chuckling: "Okay, I'll use my mobile phone to broadcast your bed-like appearance and send it to the LINE group of the Metropolitan Police Department." ”

“！！！”

Matsuda Jinhei, who was with a fried hair, jumped up from the bed suddenly, and when he saw the mobile phone in the second hand of the research, he immediately wrapped his head tightly with the quilt, and a muffled voice came from the quilt: "Hagiwara Kenji!" Put your phone away or I'll let it disintegrate! ”

"I'm not going to talk to you, let's get up quickly." Hagiwara Kenji looked out the window and smiled, "Today's weather is very good." ”

.

The sun rises slowly over the horizon, and the sky takes on an orange glow.

The February wind was cool, and Itahang, who had just finished stalking all night, couldn't help but yawn and wipe away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Date senpai! It's sunrise! ”

A brown-haired young man in a camel-colored sweater jacket walked out of the convenience store, holding two cups of warm coffee in his hands, and he handed one to Itahang, with a hearty smile on his face.

His name is Wataru Takagi, and his current police rank is Inspector General, a junior of Date Airlines, a new police officer with a sense of responsibility, honesty and integrity.

"Takagi, haven't you seen the sunrise before?"

"I don't think so." Wataru Takagi noticed the faint smile on the corner of Ida-senpai's mouth, and couldn't help but show a gossipy expression, and asked, "Date-senpai, did you watch the sunrise with someone very important?" ”

Yi Dahang was stunned for a moment, smiled and took a sip of warm coffee, looked at the slowly rising sunrise in the sky, and said with a light smile: "Yes, when I was in the police academy, we watched the sunrise on the rooftop together." ”

"Huh? Rooftop? Isn't that a place you can't go up to? Wataru Takagi blinked in surprise.

"Hahaha! Because there were a few guys in our class who were particularly good at picking locks at that time, the rooftop was our secret base. ”

"Huh? That's right. ”

I thought that Ida's seniors must be a good role model for students in school, but I didn't expect to do such a thing.

Date Hang fumbled with his phone and sent an email to his girlfriend Natalie Laima, who reached out and patted Wataru Takagi on the shoulder and said, "Coffee thanks, I'll go first, someone at home is waiting for me to go back for breakfast." ”

"Okay, go slowly! Date Senpai! ”

.

Dark gray suit with blue tie.

Standing in front of the mirror, he checked the stubble on his chin and made sure there was no clutter before he walked to the kitchen, took the breakfast box for his colleague Kazami Hiroya, and went to work at the National Police Agency.

It's been half a month since Ah Lu came to report on the mission, and I don't know how he and Zero are doing recently. Since Zhufu Jingguang became the contact person of the film group, the relationship between Yuya Kazami, the contact person of the Zero group, has become closer.

The main thing is that he can get information from Kazami that he wants to know, such as... Zero's latest development.

He drove a dark blue Citroen CX, which was the same as his brother's, but in a different color.

After greeting the staff on duty at the door as usual, Zhu Fu Jingguang took the elevator to the fifth floor and walked towards the depths of the corridor, and unexpectedly, he actually saw Kazami Yuya, who arrived earlier than himself.

The next second, he couldn't help but turn his back and snicker.

"Zhufu senior, is there anything funny?"

Although both of them are liaisons, Zhu Fu Jingguang's police rank is one level higher, and his execution is slightly higher than himself.

"Poof... Kazami, your trousers are worn backwards. ”

“？！”

No wonder so many people stared at themselves on the way to the subway, it turned out that the trousers were worn backwards? It's too social to die!

Kazami Yuya hurriedly pulled his legs and ran towards the toilet, and after taking off his pants and putting them on again, he also washed his hands by the way, and walked to the office while wiping his handkerchief, only to find that Zhufu's seniors were still standing there.

What's worse is that the bento box containing his breakfast actually fell to the ground, and the warm food inside was scattered all over the ground.

"Zhufu... Predecessor? ”

The phoenix eyes, which had always been radiant in the past, lost their brilliance, and Zhu Fu Jingguang tried to clench his mobile phone with his trembling right hand, his head was blank, and he couldn't even hear Kazami calling his name.

What happened to Zhufu seniors?

The mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.,Kazami Yuya took out his phone in confusion and found that it was an email from Mr. Tsukiya.,I thought it would be some kind of information from the organization.,But after seeing the content on it...

He understood why Senior Zhufu showed such a look.

[Mr. Tsukitani: Macallan was confirmed dead at 06:04 on 02/07, and his identity was not revealed, reassuring the higher-ups.] ]

Kazami Yuya raised his eyes to look at the senior of Zhufu who raised his head and tried to control his emotions, he was very sad, how sad should Mr. Shibuyani and Zhufu seniors be as close friends?

The answer is: so sad that I can't breathe.

It's like there's something heavy on my chest.

Zhu Fu Jingguang squatted down expressionlessly to clean up the spilled lunch, nothing, not a single tear, and left in silence.

It wasn't until he walked into his office that he looked sideways out the window at the cherry blossom trees that were not yet in full bloom.

It doesn't matter if you open it or not...

Because the stamens have withered, the petals will eventually wither.

He won't come back.
