Takehara Minami High School.

Morning meeting in the classroom of Class F one year.

"Hey, Higashino, the squad leader just said let's learn from you."

In the back row, Aida Yuto stretched out his hand to poke Higashinohara, but his tone did not have the previous ridicule and eyebrows, but stared at Higashinohara who turned his head blankly and looked tired.

If you want to talk about the difficult brothers in the class, Aida Yuto is recognized by everyone as being about to follow in the footsteps of Higashinohara - a man who will become the next generation of "three war veterans" in Class F.

Higashinohara's consciousness returned from the sin manual, and the words of Yuto Aida's words gradually came clearly in his ears, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "What is there to learn from me." ”

"You're still pretending to be garlic." Aida Yuto lowered his voice and said, "Higashino, you are honest.... Aside from running... Is there any secret training method? Let's talk about it. ”

At this time, the morning meeting had ended, but Aida Yuto was naturally loud, and even if he lowered his voice, he attracted the attention of the students sitting next to him.

Only Hikaru Sagi, who was sitting in the last row of the door, sneered, and was about to say something, but turned his head to find that his two followers had pricked up their ears intently, and he was so angry that he kicked up.

Here, Higashinohara could only say helplessly when he heard this, "In addition to running seven kilometers, I now do 70 squats, sit-ups and push-ups every day." ”

Aida Isamu and some of the classmates sitting next to him waited patiently, and after waiting for a long time to be gone, they were stunned and said, "That's it?" ”

"Well, that's all." Higashinohara nodded sincerely.

Aida opened his mouth, and there was something he wanted to say but couldn't.

He is the flesh system ability of Talent Sequence 101 [Strengthening the Flesh], and he has been doing these basic exercises since two years ago, but he is still in the first grade two years later.

Oh yes!

One level remains.

Does this thing really work?

He was afraid that after asking this question, Higashinohara stared at him with a complicated expression and said, "We are different", which would be really a bit embarrassing.

However, the other students sitting next to me have never done this kind of exercise, although it sounds a little incredible at the moment, but the real "success story" is around, and their faces are also thoughtful.

Is this the "classroom of power supremacy"?

Higashinohara smiled in his heart when he saw this.

He clearly remembered that before he played Hikaru Saki last week, he was a little transparent in the back row in the classroom, and even his friend Yuto Aida was stunned when he said that he was running in the playground that morning.

But since winning Hikaru Saki, the practical class teacher Ken Nakazaki also said that Higashinohara is now estimated to have the strength of the second order and the second stage, he seems to have gained the "right to speak" in the class all of a sudden, and someone listens carefully to everything he says, and he secretly thinks about it in his heart.

It's actually quite a good feeling.

However, Higashinohara didn't have any idea of being an opinion leader in Class F for a year, so he thought about it and passed.

It is estimated that when those people find out that his training method is not "universal", I am afraid it will be a different posture, and sure enough, people can never live in the evaluation of others.

......

In the afternoon, practical classes.

Although Higashinohara kept his hand in the battle, Ken Nakazaki, an experienced practical teacher, also noticed from Higashinohara's battle that he seemed to have improved again.

Ken Nakazaki couldn't help but smile and nodded at Higashinohara, praised Higashinohara's progress on the spot, and was very optimistic about the "three-war veteran" of Class F this year for next year's spring exam.

Actually there is progress again?

Did this guy take any big tonic pills?

Suddenly, while others were stunned, they also strengthened their determination to implement the "Higashino Exercise Method" from today, and even secretly determined to increase some training intensity, maybe the effect would be better.

Of course, there are also people who get cheap, and they secretly laugh at Higashinohara for being too stupid - after all, he is a country boy from Hokkaido, who has the knack for this kind of exercise and does it in secret, and adds so many competitors to himself......

After the actual combat class, Higashinohara left the school without club activities.

In the afternoon, when he was in the training hall, he tried the small knife, and sure enough, he felt like an arm and finger, as if he had been immersed in this way for many years, and it seemed that the improvement in the character image dissection of the Guilty Manual seemed to have a real effect.

On the way to the train station, Higashinohara considered whether to go to a special cold weapon store or buy a set of small knives online for future training and self-defense.

But the thought of the expensive cost is a little painful.

The reward given to him by the Metropolitan Police Department last week has been handed out this morning, 400,000 yen, and it has not been delayed for seven working days.

Then with the 50,000 yen earned last night and the balance of the monthly living clothes sent from his hometown in Hokkaido, all of Higashinohara's assets now add up to more than 500,000 yen, which is almost enough for a small knife made of stainless steel.

The problem is not to mention that his double knife stream only has one knife.

It's almost the end of the month, and although the rent for the next month is halved, it is always paid, plus daily expenses, if you really impulse consumption, I'm afraid you'll have to eat instant noodles and drink soup next month.

Alas, I'd better find some part-time jobs...

That's right!

Higashinohara suddenly thought that he was now almost the strength of the second order 3rd stage, and he heard that those who were able to have a certain amount of preferential treatment when they found a corresponding job.

But what is your counterpart work?

Running fast to deliver food?

He did know that some low-level abilities in the first and early second order would enter vocational and technical schools after graduation, such as those in the water summoning department who may enter the fire fighting major, and those in the fire control department who will choose to learn to be chefs.....

Higashinohara thought about all this miscellaneous stuff all the way.

When the tram arrived, he was on his way back to his apartment when he suddenly inadvertently spotted a solid man wrapped in a coat on the street in front of him, sneakily pasting something on the telephone pole on the side of the road.

The first thing that came to his mind was...

Spending a lot of money to have children?

Wait a minute!

Why does that person look so familiar?

Higashinohara suddenly reacted a little - isn't this the unscrupulous uncle Satoru Aragaki who runs a detective agency? Is it that the business is not good, and it comes out to post small advertisements?

Higashinohara waited for Satoru Aragaki to post it and left looking for the next telephone pole, then followed to take a look.

The telephone pole has obviously been shoveled several times beyond recognition, and the top brand new small advertisement is a figure wearing a deer hunting hat, a coffee-colored trench coat, and a pipe in his mouth, a classic detective look, and a narration underneath:

Are you struggling to collect evidence? 】

【Aragaki Detective Office is at your service!】 】

[A top detective who can be hired for only 300,000 yen! ] 】

【Waiting for your call at 284-132344】

Higashinohara looked a little speechless.

Doesn't this guy always stay in the apartment on weekdays and be complacent intermittently, and continue to eat and wait for death? Why are you still in the mood to come out and do this today?

......

Ahh

In the cold wind of late autumn, Satoru Aragaki sneezed and rubbed his red nose.

Bastard!

What the hell is wrong with people now?

Isn't a detective agency without a reputation trustworthy?

At noon today, Satoru Aragaki received a rare list of criminal cases, and in excitement he almost bounced up from the overwhelmed boss's chair and kicked the TV over.

It's not easy!

It's been almost half a year, and in addition to extramarital affair investigation, the visit is to help the old lady find some cats and dogs, which are all trivial and trivial things.

Today finally came a big order.

Can he not be excited?

Recasting the glory of the Aragaki Detective Agency......

Oh, there's no glory it used to be.

That's it.

In the afternoon, Satoru Aragaki came out of the closet to find a detective's outfit, and when he got downstairs to his employer's house to get on the elevator, he found a colleague.

The two knocked on the door together, and after entering the door, the other sat on the sand and smiled silently.

After the two finished their self-statements, the employer only took five seconds to think about it and regretfully told Satoru Aragaki that:

Their choice was another detective agency.

The reason is that the other party is more famous, and he has also appeared on TV Shin-Tokyo, and he has more experience in solving criminal cases. Don't mention it.

Satoru Aragaki can only return with hatred.

On the way, he was angry and disdainful, and he felt a burst of contempt for his employer.

Can detectives solve cases by looking at fame?

Do you think I can't afford to go on TV?

That's an insult to the "detective"!

So in the afternoon...

He went to a nearby convenience store to make copies of a bunch of small advertisements and walked alone into the cold wind of late autumn.....

......

Higashinohara stood speechless in front of the telephone pole.

He felt that Satoru Aragaki was mostly useless, and it was estimated that at most he would be shoveled out by the people of the nearby street committee tomorrow, and maybe he would have to come to the door to fine him.

Besides, would anyone really believe such unreliable roadside advertisements?

He wouldn't believe it anyway.

Higashinohara followed Satoru Aragaki all the way back, and he didn't let Satoru Aragaki find out in front of him for fear of being caught-this unscrupulous uncle likes to prostitute other people's free labor for free.

But when he was about to walk downstairs to the apartment, Satoru Aragaki suddenly stopped, took out his mobile phone with a thick small advertisement under his arm, and answered a call while smoking.

No way?!

Higashinohara was stunned when he saw this.

After a while, I saw Satoru Aragaki hang up the phone, snuff out the cigarette butt and walk back quickly, and when he passed by the roadside trash can, he threw all the small advertisements into it.

Higashinohara was surprised and hurried to follow.

When you cross a few streets and see an apartment building.

Far away, Higashinohara saw a short figure wearing a black down jacket and a short skirt and black stockings standing in front of the building with his back to him, looking around.

Look down at your phone from time to time.

In the next second, at the moment when the other party turned around, Higashinohara was slightly stunned.

It's her?

Ryoka Kame, who asked for leave from school today.

Did something happen to her?

Higashinohara had some doubts in his heart.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a police car across the street came quickly, and immediately stopped the car with a sudden brake at the door of the apartment building, and the car door opened.

Two teenage girls jumped out of the driver's seat.

The tall girl in front of her, wearing a navy blue windbreaker uniform, recognized the other party at a glance, Mai Aragaki, Satoru's daughter, Mai Aragaki.

Tomorrow is the Labor Thanksgiving Day of Wano Country.,Tonight is estimated to be forced back to the apartment.。

But wait... The girl in the black hoodie in the back... With short silver-white hair and two furry pointed ears on the top of his head, he looked around curiously.

It's her?!

She was released so soon?
