Vehicles are like shuttles, and colorful street lamps complement each other, weaving a web of light and sound between high-rise buildings. On both sides of the street, shops are busy decorating Christmas trees with colorful Christmas lights, and the sudden heavy snow has added a romance to these pine trees that carry happiness. Even when the Son Jesus saw such a scene, he wanted to come again and enjoy the joy of all living beings.

Walking through Ikebukuro West Exit Park, feeling the cold touch of the north wind on her cheeks, Mingko felt her brain, which had been cluttered with a long shopping list, slowly regaining her senses. Thinking of this, she took out her phone and carefully checked the memo. After making sure that all the items on it were marked, the girl looked relieved.

"It's over!" the girl shouted, startling two unknown birds.

The snow became heavier and heavier, as if a velvet blanket had been draped over the earth. Mingzi was interested, so she simply put away the folding umbrella and let the goose feather snow fall all over her soft pale blonde hair. Against the backdrop of the dim street lamps in the park, Mingzi's creamy skin is coated with a faint halo, and even the smoothest jade is afraid to be inferior by three points.

"But it's really lonely...... "Looking around, Mingzi sighed when she found that the entire park was filled with couples in pairs except for herself.

I couldn't help but think of my senior sister in my mind. What is the senior sister doing at this moment? Is she enduring her father's harsh and rigid preaching, or is she wearing a gorgeous kimono and walking through the labyrinthine castle tower under the guidance of Miss Yuki to prepare for the upcoming dinner party? Then again, I don't seem to have seen the senior sister in a kimono......

"I'm thinking about something...... "When Mingzi found out, her wild thoughts had long since gone to know where they had gone.

Bigger than the universe is really a brain hole.

The girl shook her head and threw the mess behind her. There are more important things to consider right now. Half a minute ago, the government just issued a notice of suspension of the train, saying that there was a large-scale blasting and demolition work in the old Edo, which could threaten the operation of some of the trains. To be honest, Mingzi didn't know why the demolition of the old Edo in the northwest would affect Ikebukuro in the central city, but in addition to complaining, the top priority was to think about how to return to the dormitory of Chido Gakuin in Bunkyo Ward.

"Or ...... Go home?" A thought appeared in Mingzi's mind, and although she immediately left it behind, it kept resurfacing.

As one of the most prestigious educational institutions under the Thousand Islands Foundation, Thousand Island College far exceeds other private schools in terms of admission standards and tuition fees, and most of the students who can study here are not from ordinary families. One of the most typical examples is naturally the Thousand Islands Foundation's Thousand Islands Bamboo. In addition, there are not a few students from the Sopranos family. Although these major gangs that legally existed in the old imperial era were not as good as before under the severe crackdown of the UFN government, they still have a certain influence in the civil and political and business circles. The Chiba family, where Mingzi is located, is like this, not only the underworld, but also one of the largest families in the Toshima area. But Mingzi didn't mention this matter to anyone, on the one hand, under the rule of UFN, the life of the underworld is getting more and more difficult after all, and on the other hand, Mingzi doesn't like the life of the underworld. It was precisely in order to draw a clear line with that family that Mingzi chose the Kuril Gakuin, a high school under the control of the Kuril Foundation and neutral compared to the intricacies of Edo, and applied for a boarding school. However, although he was ready to make a big noise, there was no opposition at home, which was unexpected by Mingzi.

This kind of relationship with the family is similar to the Cold War, which has lasted for almost a year since Mingzi entered school. Although she has always had a sense of estrangement from that home, after all, it is the place where she has lived and grown up for fifteen years, and Mingzi does not know how much trouble her impulsive actions have caused her father and other members of the organization. But Mingzi refused to let go of her childish self-esteem, and in the end, let alone go home, Mingzi didn't even call home for so long.

"Ahhh......h ** The fatigue was accompanied by numb-like chaotic thoughts, and she simply sat down on the bench next to her, refusing to move even a single step in anger.

"This young lady, may I ask...... Do you know how to get around the Doge's Palace?"

An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in my ears. Mingzi was startled, raised her head suddenly, and her eyes met a pair of strange eyes in an instant. These eyes are filled with a deep black, like a black hole that wants to swallow all light, not only the pupils, but also the whites of the eyes. In the midst of the shock, Mingzi tried to retreat, but leaned back against the back of the chair.

"Sorry, did you scare you?" Seeing Mingzi's appearance, the man apologized to her and took a step back. It wasn't until this incident that Mingzi saw the other party clearly. It was a tall, thin Asian man with long black hair who looked to be in his early twenties. With an apologetic smile on his face, he looked approachable, and if it weren't for those incongruous pure black eyes, he might have made people feel close.

Mingzi looked away, trying to restrain herself from looking into the other party's eyes: "No, there is no ......" It would be rude to say that she was frightened by the other party's eyes. Maybe it's just a contact lens or something, right?, Mingzi tried to convince herself.

"If you're going to be at the Governor's Palace, you can catch the tram from here. Mingzi pointed to Ikebukuro-nishi Station, which was not far away, "But now the train and subway are out of service...... I don't know if there's any way to go back......" Mingzi said with a wry smile. Although she was wary of the man in front of her, she thought that the other party was probably a poor person trapped here like herself, so Mingzi let down her guard a little.

"Tram...... ......The man frowned and pondered for a long time, "What if you walk over?"

"Go back?" I didn't expect the other party to come up with this bad idea for so long, and Mingzi was speechless for a while: "Please...... Even if Toshima and Kuril Wards are next to each other on the map, the actual distance is many kilometers. If you start walking back at this time, you will probably be bright when you get to the academy......" Feeling the soreness in her legs, Mingzi shook her head in disagreement.

"Is it that far......" The man scratched his head, lost in thought again.

The snow stopped at some point, but the clouds still hung over the city. It was already dark, and the dim lights of the park created a hazy and ambiguous atmosphere. Mingzi looked at the man's face, but she couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, only an angular outline remained. In the park, my lovers and I all left at some point, leaving only Mingzi and the strange man in front of me, and a silent silver-white world.

"Hey......" heart jumped up at some point, Mingzi touched her cheek and found that it was a little hot.
