Hong Sihe is a familiar stranger to Lin Yun.

Familiar because they have known each other for a long time, in fact, they can be said to be old friends, the two have known each other since elementary school, and can be said to be partners at that time.

is strange because they have drifted apart from each other many years ago, and now he can't understand what the other party is thinking.

Although she has been in frequent contact with her recently, and she has a great intention of wanting to get back to her old ways, he doesn't see the meaning clearly.

Or rather, he didn't really want to know what it meant.

"The country announced the new magical girl flower card evaluation list last month, and there are two more rookies in one go."

For example, now.

The woman with a teasing face accosting him like this.

To be honest, although I am over thirty years old, I don't know if it is well maintained or why, the woman in front of me is still charming, looking young and bright.

When Lin Yun heard this, he made a movement in his hand, but he still maintained an expressionless face and responded: "Is there any point in saying this now?" ”

The woman laughed: "Is it pointless to pay attention to juniors?" ”

Sending some lemonade to his mouth, Lin Yun said vaguely: "It's already something that has nothing to do with me, why should you pay attention to it." ”

"You can't deceive your own people by lying like this, you can't do it without a relationship, right?"

The woman followed him and took a sip of red wine, meaning: "After all, you are ......"

"Stop."

She was in the middle of her sentence when she saw a finger tap on the center of the table.

I saw Lin Yun stretching out his index finger, but he didn't look at her:

"I should have said it, I don't want to mention it."

The two fell silent for a moment.

Hong Sihe stared at him for a while, revealing an inexplicable smile:

"Okay, let's not mention it. Let's talk about my previous purchase? ”

The topic then returned to the parents in life.

Lin Yun was absentmindedly picking up the dishes, while the woman was drinking with a smile on her face.

The atmosphere in the fine dining room is quite elegant, and the progress of dinner progresses as the waiter changes the plate again and again.

It's just that when Lin Yun felt that this dinner was halfway over, the woman opposite suddenly threw out a topic that he had to face.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

When she said this, she was obviously slightly drunk, so her tone also became very grinning: "It's the rookie magical girl in Fangting City, who has already hooked up with us today." ”

Across the wine table, the woman's bright smile was seductive: "How is it, does this have anything to do with you?" ”

The two sat opposite each other at the end of the table, creating a stark contrast of images. The woman looks young and beautiful, but Lin Yun is in a state of malaise and looks like she has experienced vicissitudes.

People who don't know the truth are afraid that the two people at this table are separated by at least ten generations, and they can't think of them as their actual peers.

"What do you want to express?"

Lin Yun held the cup in one hand, took another sip of lemonade, and continued to look unconcerned.

"Ah, you've heard of it? You're better informed than I thought, I'm the official, uh-woo, what a failure......"

When the drunken woman heard this, she wiped her eyes on the spot.

"If you are aware of the identity of an official, don't make a loud noise about inside information in public."

Lin Yun knocked on the table to stop her and said, "Also, don't cry in the restaurant, don't you see the diners around you looking at our table with strange eyes?" ”

"What's wrong with thirty-five? Isn't a thirty-five woman entitled to weep in public? Hong Sihe's eyes widened.

"Don't take the opportunity to mess around, get down to business."

After a busy day, Lin Yun, who was already extremely tired, listened to the other party's noise, and only felt a faint pain in his brain.

If it weren't for a phone call, he would now be able to lie on the couch at home and enjoy the peace instead of listening to a drunken woman go crazy in a high-end restaurant with a painful price.

"Business?"

The woman across the table tilted her head, a cuteness different from her age: "I want to talk to you?" ”

“…… I mean, you just mentioned, the magical girl thing. ”

"Huh? Don't you already know? ”

"I know, won't you tell me?"

"Don't say it?"

"Say it quickly."

"Woo woo, my predecessors murdered me...... I'm in for dinner tonight! ”

Lin Yun only felt that his blood pressure had risen and dropped severely.

I know that it doesn't make sense to reason with a drunk and crazy person, but the drunk gibberish of this woman in front of me also makes people feel a full headache.

The other party is not a partner who can be dealt with casually at a normal dinner, but a person with whom he really wants to communicate, which makes communication at the dinner table extremely difficult.

"Putting aside the anachronistic titles, can you tell me first, what is the situation of the new magical girl? Recent? How long has it been active? To what extent do you work with them? ”

Therefore, Lin Yun let himself jump out of the rhythm of the other party's dialogue, turned to the initiative, and directly sought the news he wanted.

The "docking" mentioned in the words is actually the attitude of the power agency towards magical girls.

There are extraordinary powers in this world.

The remnant beast and the magical girl are both obviously different from ordinary people.

Remnants can appear in every corner of the world, and there will be magical girls in every city in the world.

Therefore, every city, in a place of light or darkness, will have a special establishment to house some capable people to deal with affairs related to the remnants of beasts. At the same time, contact and dock with the magical girls in the city, assist the other party to deal with the remnants of the beasts that appear at high speed, efficiency and low risk, and complete the protection of ordinary people.

Over time, this became a tradition.

The government agency responsible for docking with magical girls and dealing with the affairs of the remnants of the beast is called the "Abnormal Attack Countermeasures Bureau", or "Alien Strategy Bureau" for short.

The Bureau of Alien Affairs is responsible for contacting the magical girls in the city, showing kindness to them, providing help, and reaching cooperation, which is already a routine process.

And the red Sihe in front of him is actually a member of the different policy bureau.

That's why she calls herself an "official" and reveals news related to "magical girls".

"Aha...... What's the matter, you ask? Magical Girl? ”

Hong Sihe, who had gradually lost her words, narrowed her eyes, as if searching for the remnants of reason in her brain, and stumbled: "Ah, yes, I remembered, magical girl!" In that case, it should be almost the beginning! ”

“…… What's about to start? Lin Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"That's right.,Interview report on the new magical girl,On the city channel.。 Just tonight! ”

Hong Sihe seemed to regain his consciousness for a short time, and patted his forehead: "Remember to watch it!" Then you will have the answers to those questions! ”

After she said this, she seemed to have completely lost her strength and fell on the table.

After a while, the sound of even breathing came from the other side of the table, and Lin Yun looked at it carefully, convinced that this woman was really asleep at the dining table.

"Will there be an answer? Why? ”

He asked again, but unfortunately the question was destined to go unanswered.

Called the waiter, went to the front desk to pay for the meal, returned to the table, and looked at Hong Sihe, who was lying there and couldn't wake up, Lin Yun sighed helplessly.

repeatedly shouted to the other party to no avail, so he could only stand up to Hong Sihe and leave the restaurant under the strange gaze of the people around him.

He found the car keys from the other person's wallet, opened the door, threw her in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and sat in the driver's seat, igniting the engine.

On the road at night, the car is heading in the direction of Hongsi and home.

The evening rush hour has passed, and the traffic on the street has become smoother, looking at the night scene on the street, Lin Yun feels a little better.

A hand came to his knee.

"Seniors......"

Red Si and confused voices sounded on the side.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yun glanced at her and responded.

"You say...... Aya has been gone for almost two years, why can't you still consider me? ”

There was a low voice from the passenger seat.

"I'm not married yet, you say I've waited so hard."

Lin Yun was silent for a while.

He didn't really want to answer the question, and he didn't know how to answer it.

The car drove on the road for a while, and then he thought about how to express his feelings, and then spoke:

"I—haven't been able to convince myself yet."

He paused, adding:

"I couldn't convince myself to let her go."

It's just that the conclusion reached by this long test was not heard by the other party. The sound of shallow breathing sounded, and in this brief interval of silence, Hong Sihe seemed to have fallen asleep again.

In a trance, Lin Yun seemed to hear a very light whimper:

"I'm sorry."

The voice was so muffled and hazy that it took him a long time to understand that the pronunciation was actually "I'm sorry."

And whether this voice is Hong Sihe's dream words or his illusion is impossible to investigate.
