It was a woman.

A blonde woman with a familiar face.

The morning sun sprinkled on her gold-like dazzling hair, which made people's minds inevitably appear in the mind of a precious and silky silk, the ends of the hair were slightly curled, somewhat similar to the hair color of Nishimaru Miri, and the swan-like slender white neck exuded an elegant and noble atmosphere.

At this moment, even if the woman in front of her is curled up in the corner of the corridor like a common drunk and a homeless person, sitting on the ground with her arms crossed and sleeping on the wall, I am afraid that no one will look down on her as a vagabond, and the princess in distress is almost the same.

In the corridor of the apartment, Higashinohara, who stopped and frowned, recognized the woman in front of him - the woman from the dissolved Grand Duchy of Shayash that he met in the sleeper box when he and Nishimaru Miri returned to New Tokyo from Hokkaido to take the train after the Spring Festival.

At that time, the other party seemed to be being chased and killed by the revolutionary forces in the Grand Duchy of Shayash, and Higashinohara happened to be in the car, which could be regarded as saving her by mistake.

Later, the police arrived when the train entered the station, and Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miri simply recorded their confessions, and the two sides said goodbye, and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to say hello.

But how could the other party be here?

Did you come in a hurry to thank you?

Maybe it's possible...

But the question is how did the other party find this?

He didn't leave an address at the time, and the police couldn't have helped with that kind of help.

......

Higashinohara pondered this.

The soft facial lines of the blonde woman leaning against the wall loosened slightly, and she opened her hazy sleepy eyes slightly, and vaguely saw a figure standing not far in front of her.

Kolotia. Oselle subconsciously raised her hand to block the harsh sunlight outside the eaves of the downstairs hallway, and then she was a little dazed before she could see Higashinohara's face clearly.

Huh? It's him?

Kolotia. Oselle glanced at Higashinohara in a daze, and suddenly realized where she was, and quickly climbed up from the steps of the stairway, and quickly arranged her grooming clothes with both hands.

So do you care about the image?

Higashinohara saw that the other party's move was purely subconscious, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about the identity of this woman.

But the Grand Duchy of Shayash has disintegrated, and even if the other party's former status is no longer what it used to be, he has no restraint or pressure.

......

"Hello! I didn't expect to see you here! ”

It's still, Kolotia. Othello said a little at a loss, as if she really didn't expect this teenager who had saved her once on the train to appear in front of her so suddenly.

After finishing speaking, he remembered something, and hurriedly bowed again, "My name is Kolotia. Thank you, Ocellet! Thank you very much for your help on the train. ”

On the train from Hokkaido to New Tokyo, I went to Kolotia, who had a toilet on the train. When Ocellet opened the door, he was stunned to see the men being chased by the Storm Revolution and his subordinates lying in a pool of blood.

When the Storm Revolutionaries did not find themselves in the sleeper compartment and began to search the compartment by compartment, the sound of footsteps on the aisle of the train was a life-threatening signal for her.

At that time, she was really frightened by living in the royal family since she was a child, and her heart was in a mess, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen to her after being caught by those people of the Storm Revolutionary Army.

Later, the train toilets are violently opened, and she is captured by the ferocious Storm Revolutionary Army soldier, who seems to take her hostage and wants to change her.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him refused.

Everything that happened next,

But it still makes her feel like she was in a dream when she thinks about it.

When the train walked in, the young man in front of him turned into a shadow full of death, his eyes flashed with a dizzying knife, and in a blink of an eye, he was standing in a pool of blood and a miserable howl...

Truth be told, even Kolotia. Oselle's family background is extraordinary, and her vision is far from being comparable to ordinary people, but she has never seen such a cold, calm and powerful young man, and the hurried side of the train can be said to have left a very deep impression on her mind.

......

Didn't expect to meet me here?

At this time, after hearing this, Higashinohara looked at the other party's face full of gratitude, and suddenly thought in his heart - it seemed that he was not specially coming to thank him but looking for someone else.

Thinking so in his heart, Higashinohara also bowed slightly and said, "You're welcome, are you here to find someone?" ”

"Uh-huh, yes."

Kolotia. Ocelle nodded, looked at the room next to her with some restraint, and then raised her slender and white right wrist, and looked down at the room number written on it.

505。

The room was occupied by Xia Li, a girl from the Heavenly Tiger Clan.

Could it be that she is looking for Xia Li?

Haven't you heard of Xia Li, a country girl from Okinawa, and a foreign friend from the Grand Duchy of Shayash?

What's going on?

Higashinohara was a little confused, and subconsciously asked, "Is there no one at home?" ”

Kolotia. Oselle immediately waved her hand a little awkwardly, and said nervously, "No, I only found this place late last night, I think she may have rested... So..."

"So you sat here all night?"

Higashinohara blurted out.

Kolotia. Oselle's pretty cheeks were suddenly dyed with a touch of red, and she lowered her head a little sneeringly, and Higashinohara was a little speechless when she saw this.

Since Xia Li's guy joined the Aragaki Detective Agency, his routine has completely followed his boss Aragaki Satoru.

Satoru Aragaki is an out-and-out charter man, and except for a few rare cases, he spends most of his time sleeping until the afternoon before getting up to call Xia Li to eat - for which Higashinohara once suspected that this guy was trying to save a working meal.

The name of the person in front of me is Kolotia. Oselle's woman sat stupidly at the door waiting, so it was estimated that Xia Li would have half a day to wake up.

If Higashinohara hadn't encountered it, forget it.

I must still help when I encounter it.

Although he and Xia Li had some discord at first, their relationship is not bad now - the main thing is that they have nothing to do and come to Higashinohara to watch TV.

Therefore, Higashinohara was not polite, turned around and knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard a clang and a rush of footsteps.

Someone fell out of bed?

The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched slightly.

In the next second, the door to the room opened from the inside.

In early spring, the weather was warm and cold, but Xia Li, a mixed-race girl of the Tianhu Clan, who opened the door, wore a cool little vest and a sky blue shorts on her lower body, giving people a feeling of vitality.

However, it is estimated that she is comfortable sleeping and wearing it like this, and when she opened the door at this time, she waved happily after seeing that it was her neighbor Higashinohara:

"Good morning, Higashino!

Are you here to treat me to breakfast? ”

Would you like to have breakfast?

Higashino turned around and left.

But considering that there was a blonde exotic friend standing in the corridor next to him, he could only cough dryly and say, "The landlord said that he would invite you to breakfast, you can go down to find him later, by the way, I think someone is looking for you outside, you come out." ”

With that, Higashinohara moved out of the way.

The next moment, Kolotia, who couldn't help but look worried. Oselle and Charlie looked at each other with blank faces, and there was an eerie silence in the air.

Seeing this, Higashinohara couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

Do you really know each other?

Look at this age gap... Sisters may not be able to.

But the surnames of the two seem to be different.

Could it be a distant cousin?

He guessed for a long time without saying a word, but unexpectedly, Xia Li and Colotia. The two of them were still big-eyed and small-eyed, and the scene gradually became a little anxious.

Higashinohara couldn't help but look at Kolotia with a blank face. Ocellet asked, "Is this the person you're looking for?" ”

Kolotia. Oselle looked down at the mark on her wrist in confusion, then looked up at the house number 505 on the door of the apartment, and nodded first... Then he shook his head.

What's the situation?

Higashinohara frowned slightly.

Xia Li also turned her head to look at Higashinohara, leaned towards him and said in a low voice, "I don't know her, but this woman is so beautiful... It can't be Higashino, you want to soak in someone's house, right? ”

Higashinohara was speechless when he heard this.

These two ha are too good at breaking their mouths.

At this moment, only a "squeak" was heard, and the door of the room next to 505 was pushed open from the inside.

A little Lori Nishimaru Miri, with pale blond hair, walked out of the room with a small schoolbag and sorted garbage in her hand.

She turned around and locked the door carefully, and when she turned her head to see Higashinohara, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her little face, and she ran over quickly with her little short legs, and the ends of her pale blonde curly hair were very dazzling in the morning light.

Seeing this, Higashinohara's heart moved slightly.

He turned his gaze, and sure enough, he saw Kolotia. Oselle's gaze also fell on Nishimaru Miri without blinking.

Higashinohara suddenly remembered that the 505 where Xia Li lives now used to be lived by Nishimaru Miri and his father, and later Nishimaru Miri was adopted by Tokugawa Kurita and moved out.

After Tokugawa Kurita's accident in Hokkai, Nishimaru Miri moved out of her old mansion, and now she has changed to the room next to Higashinohara when she returns.

Could it be that this woman is here to find Nishimaru Miri?

Wait a minute!

Looking at her appearance and temperament, it seems that she really looks a little similar to Nishimaru Miri.... Reminiscent of the rumored mother of the Nishimaru Miri in this building, who was smuggled from the Grand Duchy of Shayash back then...

Could it be ......

But not too young?

Higashinohara was guessing in his heart...

At this time, Kolotia. Oselle had already walked quickly over to Nishimaru Miri and squatted down.

She stretched out her hand slightly trembling at Nishimaru Miri's palm-sized delicate little face, and quickly retracted it, and then raised her hand to wipe the corners of her moist eyes, staring at Nishimaru Miri in front of her without blinking, her eyelashes trembled lightly and murmured:

"Like... It's really too similar. ”

Nishimaru Miri has a shy personality and rarely talks to strangers, but I don't know if it's because the two have the same hair color, but she has an inexplicable sense of closeness to the woman in front of her.

She looked up at Higashinohara who was standing beside her, and her little heart was slightly settled, and then she mustered up the courage to look up at Kolotia, who was staring at her. Oselle bowed politely and asked:

"Hello,

Are you here for me? ”

Kolotia. Ocella quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, a smile appeared on her face, and she carefully confirmed, "Yes, is your name Nishimaru Miri?" ”

"Hmm."

Nishimaru nodded his little head.

Kolotia. Oselle suddenly couldn't control it anymore, and she suddenly opened her arms and hugged Nishimaru Miri, and said in a somewhat choked tone, "Xiao Weili, I finally found you." ”

Nishimaru Miri was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

But perceiving the other party's sincere joy and excitement, she didn't break free, but raised her little hand and gently touched the other party's hair that was as soft as hers.

Moments later, Kolotia. Ocellet also recovered from her gaffe.

She noticed the intimate relationship between Higashimohara and Nishimaru Miri, and couldn't help but stand up and seriously bow slightly to Higashinohara again, "You saved me on the train, I didn't expect Xiao Miri to be taken care of by you, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Speaking of this, she also seemed to sense the confusion on Higashinohara's face, and quickly added, "I'm Xiao Weili's aunt, and she's my sister's daughter." ”

Aunt?

Higashinohara reacted a little.

No wonder the other party looks so young, it doesn't look like they have given birth to children.

Was it Nishimaru Miri's aunt?

Nishimaru Miri's little face was a little dazed.

Although her biological father is a bit of a scumbag, she has almost no impression of her mother in her memory for a few years after coming to this world, and she has no concept of her mother's sister.

So she stood there stunned, took two steps back in some fear, and turned her head to look at Higashinohara.

Higashinohara is clear.

The bond of relatives, even if it cannot be called dependence, is often a kind of psychological sustenance.

Higashinohara knew that the blow to Nishimaru Miri from the Tokugawa Kuritoro accident was far from being the kind of smile she usually showed that could be concealed, and occasionally staring at the air in a daze could still show the loneliness in her heart.

Especially when she went to her hometown in Hokkaido in Higashinohara and saw her parents and sister, she may have longed for family affection in her little heart.

So at this time, seeing Nishimaru Miri's subconscious retreat, Higashinohara couldn't help but smile and interrupted, "Let's not stand here, if you don't mind, let's come to my room and sit down and talk slowly, Xiao Miri also wants to know about her mother." ”

Kolotia. Oselle noticed the cowering of Nishimaru Miri, and suddenly felt a little distressed for the daughter that this sister entrusted to her on her deathbed.

At this time, when I heard Higashinohara's words, I immediately cast a grateful look at him.

So Higashinohara went back the same way, took out the key and opened the door, and took Kolotia. Othello and Nishimaru led them into their room.

Xia Li, who was called up inexplicably, was also full of curiosity and wanted to follow up to see the excitement, She had never encountered the "recognition scene".

But as soon as she stepped in, she was stopped at the door by Higashinohara.

"What's wrong Higashino?"

Xia Li also looked inside.

Higashinohara had an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm really sorry to disturb your sleep just now, don't you have to go back and sleep a little longer?" ”

Xia Li's curiosity was rising, where could she sleep, the two furry ears on her head moved, and she shook her head and said with a big grin:

"I'm not sleepy at all now!"

"You can be sleepy."

Higashinohara had a gentle smile on his face.

"Huh?! But I'm really not sleepy. ”

Xia Li hadn't reacted yet.

"If you're not sleepy, you can sleep a little longer." Higashinohara continued.

Xia Li reacted in hindsight, squinting at Higashinohara with those big eyes, and suddenly leaned over to lower her voice, "Higashino... Are you forgetful of your friends? ”

Even if her voice is lowered, the voice is not small, and she may not be able to hear it inside, and Higashinohara suddenly gave her a head in anger.

"You big-headed ghost!"

After finishing the incident, he didn't care about her protests, he directly closed the door with his backhand.

It's not that Higashinohara doesn't want to see Xia Li, it's just that this person's character is really a bit ergy.

And Nishimaru Miri's sister-in-law of the Grand Duchy of Shayash seems to be a little sensitive in terms of identity, otherwise the revolutionary army of the Grand Duchy of Shayash that has disintegrated would not have been able to chase all the way to the train in Hokkaido.

In case Xia Li hears something... If she accidentally spreads it out after the incident is finished, and causes unnecessary trouble, it is better to simply lock her out of the door and pull her down.
