Life never follows a straight line to the end, and perhaps because of this, people have expectations for life.

But if there was no expectation in the first place, then the current reunion again would be a kind of "lost and regained" surprise for Higashino.

He stared at the sapphire-clear eyes, his face full of smiles, and his heart suddenly felt warm in the midday sun.

In the more than half a year since the soul penetrated into this world, the little soul in front of him who depended on him when he was lonely and confused was, in a sense, more like his relatives in this world.

The two of them, one big and one young, just looked at each other like this.

Higashinohara looked at the Nishimaru Miri in front of him, and found that although she miraculously returned, she also became the daughter of a big man in other people's mouths, the brightest rising star of Takehara Minami Private School Park...

But there was no change in the face of herself, she was still the little girl who squatted in front of the small shack in the corridor and took out mineral water from her small schoolbag to invite herself to "drink tea", and when she smiled, her cheeks showed sweet dimples, and her heart suddenly became softer.

He had a lot of doubts in his head.

But when the words come to the mouth,

He didn't ask what it was.

He also did not ask if he had disclosed anything about him to the Metropolitan Police Department.

He just stared down for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed her pale blonde hair, which was as smooth as satin, and asked with a smile:

"How did you get to school?"

Nishimaru Miri also felt Higashinohara's joy, and the smile on his little face became even brighter, and he rubbed Higashinohara's palm very happily and said, "I'm coming to see the big brother, in the future, my big brother and I will be from the same school, and we can see each other every day." ”

After going through such hardships at a young age, she seems to have matured a lot.

In front of everyone, she didn't mention anything else at all, but she expressed the joy and excitement of her reunion with Higashinohara in a childish manner.

“......”

"Big brother, Hanamaru, they..."

Nishimaru Miri asked about the three little milk cats.

"Don't worry, the flower pills are very good, and the food is better than before." Higashinohara said with a smile, it was Xia Li who fed them now, and the foodie was not bad about his 'distant relative'.

"Mm-hmm, I know that the big brother is the most reliable." Nishimaru Miri's small face showed dimples again

“......”

The people who were ignoring the pestle behind them were suddenly stunned.

Phoenix Courtyard Hui Ye slightly closed the gilded bone fan in his hand, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and a pair of obviously very charming foxes seemed to cast a haze in their eyes.

As the eldest daughter of the Phoenix Yuan family,Phoenix Yuan and Taidao River are the same as the top super rich class in New Tokyo.,The people around her from childhood to adulthood are careful about her.,The family also takes good care of her.,Even the two vice presidents of the Trinity Club in the school park have a peer who is specially sent into the school by the family to assist her in managing the Trinity.。

From the first time she saw Nishimaru Miri, she was full of protection for this dazzling talent and sweet smile.

The pearl is dusty.

She's the one who wipes the dust.

That's why he broke the cumbersome procedures of the Trinity Society's assessment over the years,After inquiring about the other party's movements at noon,,I didn't even have time to eat the lunch prepared by the chef at home and ran directly to the school restaurant to find someone。

So passionate, so sincere... And it was personally invited by the president of the Trinity Association herself, who was honorable.,Presumably no one in the Takehara South Private School Park will refuse.。

The little girl in front of her did not refuse.

Because her eyes never fell on them from beginning to end, it seemed that from the moment she entered the door of the restaurant, she cast herself on the boy sitting in the corner.

Big brother?

The Tokugawa family hasn't heard of an eldest son?

The Phoenix Yuan family next to her arranged to enter the school park to assist her vice president Mari Ashida,With a calm face, she took out the tablet in her hand and skillfully entered the internal network of the school's student union.,Soon found Higashinohara's information on the roster through portrait comparison.。

1 Year F Class...

Hokkaido fishing village...

2nd Order 1st Stage...

The gray ability of talent sequence 98...

Repeating a grade for the third year in a row...

Phoenix Yuan Kaguya looked at the information on the tablet in his hand, and the more he looked down, the deeper his brows wrinkled.

For her, who was born into a wealthy family and admired the elite system, such a person is an out-and-out weed among the weeds, and a flower crown like them may not have any intersection in her life.

But she...

Why did you know him?

Nishimaru Miri was adopted as a righteous daughter by the famous tiger of Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger in New Tokyo, and this news is clear to many families in New Tokyo.

But the specific origin of Nishimaru Miri is not very clear, and I can only guess, after all, the tiger is notoriously cold and resolute, but few dare to go up and brush its "tiger whiskers".

Could it be a former friend?

Phoenix Courtyard Kaguya squinted his narrow fox eyes and thought about this, but next to him, the welcome minister who was rarely valued by the president of Phoenix Academy today, Futaki Yu, felt very embarrassed and walked over with a cold face.

He didn't dare to get angry at Nishimaru Miri, this was the girl that the president would value.

I could only look at Higashinohara, who was sitting there wearing a first-grade uniform and a bowl of cheap ramen with even the soup in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said reservedly:

"What is this junior's name?"

Higashinohara was stunned, glanced at the other party's second-year uniform, and replied out of politeness, "My name is Higashinohara, hello senior." ”

The seniority system in Wano Country's schools and workplaces is a bit exaggerated, and Higashinohara tries to follow the local customs as much as possible to reduce unnecessary trouble.

But Yuki Futaki doesn't think so.

Salute first, then soldier.

He immediately reprimanded with a straight face, "Hehe, when the seniors are talking, the first-year juniors can interject casually, right?" What a ......."

"I'm going to talk to my big brother."

At this time, Nishimaru Miri suddenly turned around, stubbornly tilted his little head and looked directly at Yuki Futaki, exuding a kind of momentum like a little tiger guarding his territory.

Higashinohara looked at the back of Nishimaru Miri and was stunned, and couldn't help but smile on his face, it seems that the little back of squatting in the small shack in the aisle and stroking the little milk cat on that rainy day has also grown a lot.

Ermu Yu was a little dumbfounded by such a young girl, and he had an urge to reprimand in his heart, but with the pride of the Trinity Club members, it was impossible for him to bully children.

If you don't speak...

It seems that in the eyes of others, it is not as good as a child.

Blue skinny!

"Heh..."

When he was in a dilemma, there was a chuckle from behind him, "Today is our abruptness, let Miss Nishimaru think about it." ”

Yuki Futaki, who got a step, immediately turned back.

Kaguya, however, glanced at Higashinohara.

This guy is really weirdly handsome,

But what's the use of that.

She said nonchalantly, "Hiding behind the little girl... It's not a big brother.,I hope I'll see you in the school this time next year.。 ”

Higashinohara glanced at Kaguya's extravagant dress in the Phoenix Temple, and said seriously in his heart, but his mouth was serious, "Thank you, I will work hard." ”

Hearing this, Kaguya of the Phoenix Temple paused, and glanced at Higashinohara lightly.

"You misunderstood me... No matter how hard we work, weeds can't become a flower crown, and for ordinary people, choice is sometimes more important than hard work. ”

After speaking,She was also free and easy.,Turn around and leave the school cafeteria with the two of Trinity.。

Trinity Club has a dedicated member restaurant.

Higashinohara looked at the back of the other party leaving, and complained silently in his heart.

I don't want to work hard, but I don't have a strong rich woman to let me eat soft rice.

......

In the afternoon, the Tenjin Hotel in Chiyoda-ku, New Tokyo.

In the top-of-the-line suite, burgundy marble tiles reflect the pale gold citrine chandelier overhead, and in the middle of the suite is a lavish pool with a bronze statue of a black wolf looking at the moon.

Councillor Hope sat on the edge of a steaming pool in a bathrobe, shaking a crystal cup filled with bright red liquid.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The water in the pool next to it is slowly descending.

After a while, when the water level dropped to the bottom, the body of a young girl appeared in the steaming pool, lying face down at the bottom of the pool, her dark hair scattered like seaweed in the pool, and the skin on her back was so white that it looked like she had lost too much blood.

Councillor Hope faintly rang the call bell by the pool, and after a while, the elevator clanged, and the doorway opened, and two people walked out.

One was a middle-aged man who was in charge of cleaning the guest room, he looked at the corpse in the pool, his body trembled slightly, gritted his teeth and carried the girl's body into the body bag with great difficulty, bowed and turned around and carried it into the elevator.

The other man wearing black sunglasses was named Joshua, and he was holding a trolley case in his hand, and he watched it silently the whole time, until the elevator door closed, he put down the trolley box and opened it, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gollum Gollum!

There was a rolling sound, and several faces were frightened, and the rolling heads of men and women slid down on the carpet of the suite, unstained with blood, as if they had been frozen.

But if you look closely at the faces, you will find that these faces are the "familiar faces" posted on the window glass when Congressman Hope's motorcade entered the Duo Bridge in the morning and was stopped by the public.
