"I heard that you angrily refuted them when asked by reporters?" Looking at the adjutant officer in front of him, who lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, Director Susui calmly picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee gently.
"Yes...... "Assistant Maru nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, Director...... I am willing to take all the responsibility...... But," he looked up, with anger still in his eyes:
"I don't allow anyone to slander Auxiliary Officer Toriyama!"
"I understand your feelings," Director Forced Water nodded, after all, the two had worked together for many years before, and when Maru was still a secretary, he went to the soup many times for Toriyama's assistant officer...... It's no wonder that he was angered by a word from a reporter.
"But......" Director Susui paused, then got up and took off the GUYS logo pinned to the left chest of Assistant Maru, and looked at it carefully: "This is the badge of Assistant Officer Toriyama, right?" β
"Yes!" Adjutant Maru nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes, for fear that Director Forced Water would take the badge away.
"Ah, the coffee beans are gone...... Director of Forced Water picked up his can of coffee beans, shook his head, and then handed the jar to Adjutant Maru: "Please help me buy some beans and come back!" β
"Huh?" Adjutant Maru was a little puzzled, but he still took the jar and prepared to go out.
"Do you think Toriyama Auxiliary Officer will want you to do this for him?" Just as he was about to leave, Director Forced Water said this, and then he shook the GUYS badge in his hand: "This sign, I will return it to you when I come back, be careful on the road." β
"Hmm......" Adjutant Maru turned around and bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the dark hallway......
"It seems that there are still a lot of discomforts...... "When the assistant officer of the pill walked away, Ms. Mei Qixue, who was standing on the side, pouted helplessly.
"This can't be blamed on him, after all, ......" Director Forced Water turned his gaze to Mei Qixue with a warm smile: "After all, not everyone is as capable as Xiaoxue!" β
"The director is overrated!" Even so, Mei Qixue couldn't help but show a sweet smile.
"I may have to go to the headquarters in the near future, and when the time comes......" The director of the water force handed her the small box he had taken out earlier, "I will have to ask you for this and GUYS first." β
"This is ......" took the small box with both hands, Ms. Mei Qixue seemed to understand something, and nodded slightly: "Is it for that?" β
"Exactly." With a simple answer in two words, and afraid that she would be worried, the director of the forced water gently held her little hand: "It's okay, I'll be back soon." β
"Hmmm......"
"Auxiliary Officer Toriyama just retired yesterday, and those monsters appeared, and before he retired, GUYS carried out the task of investigating the hole, why didn't he check it in advance, is it that Auxiliary Officer Toriyama is about to retire and will not take care of his work seriously?"
"Are you protecting your former boss?"
"Do you think Toriyama Auxiliary Officer will want you to do this for him?"
The words of the reporter and the director of the forced water kept echoing in his mind, so that Maru was a little dispossessed, holding a jar full of beans and walking back, so that he didn't even hear the familiar voice behind him calling him.
"Maru!!" Seeing that he couldn't get a response after shouting a lot, Toriyama suddenly became angry, and went up directly and grabbed Maru's ear to make him sober up: "Ah, it hurts, it hurts!! He turned his head to see that the person who came was Toriyama in a kimono, and he couldn't help but smile:
"Auxiliary Officer Toriyama!!"
"Hey, hey, you're the assistant now!" Toriyama looked dissatisfied: "You don't bother to pay attention to me when I call you, right?!" β
"No, no, no!!"
"Still quibbling!!"
"Grandpa, is this uncle the secretary of the pill you always told us?" An innocent voice drew the eyes of both of them, a child in a pink kimono with a large lollipop in his hand.
"Haha, yes, call Uncle Maru quickly!" Toriyama let go of Maru, squatted down and pulled his little granddaughter to ask her to greet Maru.
"Hello Uncle Maru!"
Looking at such a cute little girl, Maru couldn't help but smile: "Hello! What's your name, kid? β
"My name is Minako Toriyama!"
"That's good!"
Looking at Minako, who mingled with other children in the park and had a lot of fun, the two people sitting on the public chair next to her couldn't help but show loving eyes.
"Is she your granddaughter?"
"Yes," Toriyama said with some pride, "Now that I am a qualified grandfather, I can take my little granddaughter around every day, I am very happy!" But ......"
He turned his gaze to Maru, "You seem to be in trouble lately, Maru?" β
"You know everything?" Maru was a little surprised.
"No, look at it," he said, pulling out a newspaper that was all about the morning interview.
"Nowadays, people are fast, and the speed is really ...... Tut-tut...... Toriyama complained, "But the quality of this writing is really ...... It's just not nutritious! β
"Hmm......" Seeing that the report was full of slander, Maru didn't know what to say for a while, and lowered his head with great reproach......
"Maru, this doesn't look like you!" Toriyama reached out and patted him on the back vigorously to cheer him up: "As an assistant officer of GUYS, you have to look like an assistant officer!" β
He casually threw the newspaper into the trash can and continued, "I'm retired, and it doesn't matter what outsiders say about me, but, Maru, I don't want you to be bound by me!" β
"Mr. Toriyama......" Maru raised his drooping head and looked at Toriyama.
"Become a more powerful assistant than me! Don't embarrass me! As his true feelings were revealed, he got up embarrassed and crossed his waist:
"Of course, you're far worse than I am! Hahaha!! His hearty laughter couldn't help but bring tears to Maru's eyes, and tears suddenly burst out of his eyes......
"Grandpa, Uncle Maru is crying!" Minako came over and sensibly handed Maru a tissue.
"Haha...... What is there to cry about! Toriyama put his right hand on his shoulder and cast an encouraging look: "Do a good job!" β
"Hmm!"
"By the way, Uncle Maru, why did you buy a jar of soybeans?" Minako's innocent words made Maru realize that something was wrong this time:
"What, soybeans?"
When he looked, Emma, he was really confused, and he bought the wrong coffee beans!!
He hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and ran back with the jar, and Toriyama looked at his distant back and nodded with satisfaction.
Since the last time he untied his heart and understood how to combine work and rest, Tian Maolei's life has been a lot more comfortable, and he has lived a little like a junior high school student, he should eat, drink, play, and study when he is done, and he did not forget to take time out to exercise, after all, he almost vomited again after driving the propulsion before......
Seeing that he had regained his spirits, the people around him were happy for him.
"WhewβI'm tired!" After a while of fighting in the playground with their partners, a few people who were sweating profusely lay down and basked in the "sunset bath" on the artificial grass.
"Haha, many years later, maybe I will say that the figure running under the sunset is our lost youth!"
"What the hell ......" Li Jiahuan was speechless at Tian Maolei's strange remarks.
"By the way, Xiaohuan, are you going to be a scientist or a pilot duck in the future?" Looking at the blue sky reflected red by the setting sun, the teenagers couldn't help but think of the infinitely beautiful future.
"Hahaha, of course it's a pilot! After all, this is what I've always dreamed of!! β
"Xiao Nai ......" looked at the other classmates around him, Tian Maolei immediately realized that he had leaked his mouth, and coughed twice to cover up: "Ahem...... He's already made it feel like for you! β
Li Jiahuan understood what he meant, and smiled slightly: "Yes, that feeling is really fascinating!" β
"What does it feel?" Deng Changwei and Xiao Wei looked confused, and they didn't understand the conversation between the two at all.
The half-immortal pretended to be profound: "This is a heavenly machine, and the heavenly machine cannot be leaked~"
"Say it as if you know......" Deng Changwei was speechless: "Anyway, Tian Maolei, what do you want to do in the future?" β
"I'm ......" Tian Maolei smiled playfully, his eyes turned into a small slit: "Of course, you will become the best foodie in the world!" Every day, people come to give away free delicacies from the mountains and seas!! β
"Hahahaha!! There is pursuit!! Hahaha!! His meeting made everyone almost laugh.
"Director, the coffee beans you wanted!" Buying beans again and returning to the director's office, Maru straightened up this time.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Seeing that the assistant officer had swept away the previous haze, the director of the forced water nodded with a smile, and then handed him a small wooden box:
"According to the agreement, this will be returned to you."
"Thank you, Director!" Adjutant Maru took it with both hands, opened it and looked at it, only to see that the badge was surrounded by soft silk, and the cotton was padded low, and it was carefully protected.
"And this." The Director of Forced Water pulled out a new GUYS badge.
"Huh? This is? Maru was a little puzzled.
"Just like Toriyama Assistant Officer said to you, become a more powerful assistant officer!" Director Forced Water personally put on his badge, and looked at the delicate locket in his hand: "This one will be kept as a souvenir, I think, it should carry a lot of your memories." β
"Hmmm! Thank you very much! Adjutant Maru was very touched and thanked him gratefully.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Adjutant Maru!"

A smile suddenly rippled on the faces of the two of them, and the sun set, submerging the two into the sunset.
Now that the days are short, when I go home at night, I can already say hello to the moon, clothed in moonlight, Tian Maolei can't help but ask himself on the way home, what is his dream? Or do you have any wishes that have not yet been fulfilled?
Naturally, it was a joke with my friends, although I was greedy, I didn't know anything about food or anything, I only knew how to say, "It's delicious!" β
According to what Xiao Nai told him before, he chose the fittest because the fittest people have lifelong regrets, and he will try his best to help them untie the knot, so ...... Why was you chosen......
He thought about it, but he still couldn't figure it out, and threw the reason to what Nexus had said at the beginning, "You're closest to me."
Maybe it's really that simple......
Although he wanted to convince himself like this, he still felt inexplicably uncomfortable......
Looking at the clear but starry sky, he had mixed feelings......
On that day, he and Xiao Nai also met on such a night...... But it was also that night...... Lost ...... myself
He didn't want to think about it anymore, shook his head vigorously, and wanted to free himself from the memories of the past, and suddenly thought of Lechuan again, and sighed softly: "Huh! Mr. Shirikawa doesn't know what to do now......"
He didn't quite understand: "What is his regret?" β
At this time, Yoshikawa was facing an uninvited guest.
Dark Zaki's evil face appeared in the air, scarlet eyes staring at him, sneering at him:
"My puppet, how did you fall so down that you ran to the powerless light? Take a look, covered in wounds and have no fixed place to live, it's really embarrassing! Hahahaha! β
"You're ......!" He didn't know how to refute him, and his brows tightened.
I've been following Dark Zaki for so long, but I've never really figured out his city, and I don't know what he's going to do, in other words, this demon can do anything...... This forced him to brace his spirits to cope.
"What do you say? Come out, Garubirus! β
