"Hug me, Zero, please."

The boy's snort brushed in his ears, and the crying plea was so faint that it was almost nothing, but it was so loud when it fell on Amuro's ears.

Whether it's the title of "zero", or warm. The extremely ambiguous "hug me" is too much. Far beyond Amuro's expectations.

Tsurumi is like a blank piece of paper, but whenever there is a little bit of color on his body, it will be more vivid than ordinary colors, just like this fiery emotion.

Amuro was keenly aware of the strong attachment hidden beneath these words...... and even admiration. It may not be more than half a step away from the tipping line, but it has never gone any further because the owner of the emotion has not noticed it.

It is precisely the ignorance of Tsurumi that makes this sentence particularly powerful.

Amuro froze in place, not moving for a long time. He could feel the other people's meaningful gazes falling on him and Tsurumi as they quieted down.

Amuro knew that the best thing to do was to pretend that he didn't hear anything, and give Tsurumi a hug like a normal friend, and point to it. Then let him go, settle him securely on the couch, call an ambulance or leave him to Dr. Yosano.

He shouldn't have given Tsurumi any hope that it might go further.

Even if this is a teenager he has raised for more than half a month, a bright color flashing out of the dull and boring time, he shouldn't be emotional.

[Zero Valley] has so much responsibility on his shoulders that he can't afford to bet on what that emotion will do to the future.

Amuro eventually backed down, and he didn't even dare to give Tsurumi a hug. Because he was afraid that if he carried him down, he would no longer be able to control the development of the situation.

"…… Ah He, are you still uncomfortable?" Amuro comforted softly, "Follow the rhythm of my breathing, don't be nervous." ”

Naomi Tanizaki thoughtfully handed over a handkerchief, Amuro thanked him, and after taking it, he wiped the boy's sweaty face with a handkerchief.

"Brother Tou......" Tsurumi said that he waited for a long time, and he didn't wait for his own hug.

Amuro firmly supported his waist and neck, and the position where his palm stayed was extremely gentlemanly, never taking half a step beyond the thunder pool. He was still considerate, kind, and gentle, but Tsurumi always felt that something had begun to change between them after that request.

Amuro looked at him with a little more complicated thoughts that Tsurumi couldn't read.

Tsuru didn't understand, he only knew that he was unwilling.

- If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain. Tsurumi

Mind Description; Then use those eyes to ask him to give himself a hug.

He gradually loosened his restraint on his abilities.

The black-haired boy looked at Amuro with his face upturned and intently, his golden eyes were shining, and his pitiful and cute appearance made people feel pity.

Amuro stared at those golden eyes, and couldn't help but feel in a trance, his brain was dizzy, and the secret desire that was pressed in his heart gradually went up, revealing its majestic sharp corners little by little.

- Why refuse? Such a young man who loves him wholeheartedly, the golden eyes of the young man are bright and bright, so beautiful, if those eyes can only see themselves from now on......

"No, it's not time yet." As if with a voice that always has a flirtatious smile, he said firmly and unquestionably.

A hand reached out, the palm of which gently rested over Tsurumi's eyes, and Tsurumi barely had time to catch a glimpse of his bandaged wrist under his sleeve before his gaze returned to darkness.

The discomfort of being deprived of sight made Tsurumi Shu subconsciously struggle: "Let go of me-"

He heard the voices of people around him arguing.

"Dazai-san, don't irritate Atsuru!" It was Amuro's voice, and he seemed to want to tear Osamu Dazai's hand away.

"I'm saving him. If you want him to recover faster, you'd better not say a word. Osamu Dazai's hand pressed against Tsurumi's eyes without moving, and he said quickly, "Atsushi, come here, call his name."

Everyone was confused, and they didn't understand what Osamu Dazai was talking about.

But Atsushi Nakajima obviously knew what Osamu Dazai meant, and he didn't even think about why Osamu Dazai knew about the special relationship between him and Tsurumi Shu, after all, even the tiger himself had just found out.

Atsushi Nakajima squatted in front of Tsurumi Shu - the table that was blocking the way had been moved away by everyone, and he grabbed Tsurumi Shu's wrist and shouted nervously, "Tsuru, Tsurumi-kun...... Tsuru, wake up quickly......"

The white-haired boy raised his eyes and looked at Osamu Dazai, and the man bowed slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Atsushi Nakajima drew courage from this nodding motion, and he called out even louder by Tsurumi's name: "Tsurumi-kun!"

Ignoring Tsurumi's struggles, again and again, calling out his name.

Until the black-haired boy's heart was reawakened from the abyss by him, he moved his fingers and whispered tiredly: ".... I'm fine. "

Osamu Dazai withdrew his hand and leaned over to look at Tsurumi Shu, and Hitomi smiled with a smile: "Yo, you're awake, Shu-chan."

"

Everyone shook again, and they all showed expressions that couldn't bear to look at directly. What kind of nickname is a JK girl?,What is Mr. Dazai's obsession with playing JK.。

Tsurumi was lying flat, resting on Amuro's lap, and his half-squinted golden eyes saw Osamu Dazai's face, a face that was one hundred and eighty degrees upside down from where he was.

"…… I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Tsurumi said slowly.

He didn't know what else he could say.

The thought that those terrible thoughts and ideas just now came from his own brain and were almost put into practice made Tsurumi Shu feel ashamed.

How could he have thoughts of hurting or even killing others? How could he almost mentally manipulate Brother Tou?

This kind of crane is so strange that even he is frightened.

The boy looked like he had been fished out of the water, his shirt wet with sweat, and his shirt clung to his skin. His exhaustion was almost visible to the naked eye, he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, and he was speaking word by word, and the speed was very slow.

He didn't dare to look at anyone, let alone look at Toru Amuro's expression, for fear of seeing a little disappointment and disgust in it.

Tsurumi Shu was sent to the infirmary and handed over to Akiko Yosano for a physical examination - a normal physical examination.

As soon as the door of the infirmary was closed, the outside exploded instantly.

"Hey, Dazai, what the hell is going on?" Kunikida asked solemnly. Osamu Dazai shrugged, looking like he wasn't going to say more. Kunikida frowned and quickly turned his target: "Mr. Ranbu?"

Ranbu sat back in his office chair, his hands on the armrests, and his feet rested

Touching the floor, turning the chair left and right.

"I wasn't going to care about it, trouble, it's too troublesome!" Ranbu took out a lollipop from the drawer, opened the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: But since he is kind to the president, I will reluctantly help.

Kindness to the president?!

The detective agency was shocked.

Toru Amuro also frowned, the president of the military detective seemed to be the famous "silver wolf" Your Excellency. I didn't expect that Ah He's background was not simple.

Junichiro Tanizaki said in distress: Mr. Ranbu, why didn't you explain it at the beginning?

Innocent: "You didn't ask. ”

All:.

"It's a favor, but it's not really good. &#

34; Ranbu chewed on the lollipop and thought: "It's actually a more profitable deal for the detective agency", such as ......

Ranbu pointed to the remaining Japanese food on the table: "Those things were bought with the money he gave."

Kunikida wondered: "Mr. Ranbu, isn't this Dazai's invitation to pay the bill. Atsushi and I watched Dazai's card with our own eyes. Atsushi Nakajima nodded repeatedly.

Ranbu is very straightforward: The card was asked for by Dazai from the president.

What! Everyone brushed their heads and turned their heads to see Osamu Dazai.

yes. Osamu Dazai spread his hands innocently: "I got the card with the permission of the president."

Ranbu: "The president didn't let you use it indiscriminately!"

Osamu Dazai smiled: "Mr. Ranbu, you can't be angry with me just because the president doesn't give you a card to buy coarse snacks." ”

Ranbu: "Humph!!"

Osamu Dazai: The cakes at this Japanese restaurant are also very good, Mr. Ranbu, I've thought about it for you. Ranbu retorted: You're just trying to drag me into the water as an accomplice.

Osamu Dazai smiled but said nothing. saw through it without saying anything, and took the initiative to share the first piece of cake, and he was already a default accomplice. Amuro's deep voice interrupted their conversation.

Sorry, I have a doubt. Amuro asked, "Atsuru is an orphan and doesn't have much money on him, so where did he get the money to buy you haute cuisine?"

Osamu Dazai smiled: "He's not an ordinary 'orphan'. ”

The implication of this sentence is too heavy. Amuro understood, and he said calmly, "Dazai-san, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Osamu Dazai: Why don't you go and ask Atsushi what he 'saw'. Amuro's gaze turned to Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi Nakajima hesitated: This is Tsurumi-kun's privacy......

"I'm his temporary guardian and I have a right to know." Amuro moved out of the identity of the guardian without changing his face, and Osamu Dazai heard this and chuckled a few times, as if he was laughing at Amuro's self-deception.

Amuro took Osamu Dazai as a deaf ear, and Kwon didn't hear it.

Atsushi Nakajima, at Amuro's insistence, was finally convinced.

He...... He is a very special being. Atsushi Nakajima carefully pondered his words, "I only saw that he had lived in an all-black ...... since he was a child In the room?

"I'm not sure if that's one

The room, because it was so dark, there was no light at all. "Tsurumi-kun slept on the floor in the middle of the room, and there was nothing around."

Amuro felt that Atsushi Nakajima's rhetoric was still too tactful.

[Room]?

It's clearly a cage.

Amuro thinks that Tsurumi grew up in an orphanage, which may not be wealthy, but he is kind to the children. Otherwise, he will not raise an innocent and lively character like Tsurumi Shu, who does not have a haze.

The homeless child learns to make a living on his own early on, knows the harshness of the world, and must have a basic sense of vigilance, and will not dare to follow a stranger like Tsurumi Shu, such as Amuro Toru, who gives a piece of candy.

Amuro had imagined a lot, but he didn't expect Atsuru to be a child who grew up in a small dark house.

Tsurumi's expression of loss after being silently rejected once again surfaced in Amuro's mind. Amuro closed his eyes, his heart plummeting.

He had just made up his mind to leave Tsurumi Shu, and in the blink of an eye, he knew this news, how could he leave with confidence? However, he really couldn't keep Tsuru by his side.

"...... the 'road sign' in Ah He's mouth?" Amuro's throat was hoarse.

Atsushi Nakajima happily admitted: "It's me, I can wake him up when he's out of control—ah, that's what I just learned today."

Squeak.

The door to the infirmary opened.

Amuro stepped forward quickly and asked, "With Doctor Xie Ye, is Ah He's still in good health?"

Gently closed the door with Akiko Yosano backhand: He fell asleep, and there was nothing to do except for excessive physical exertion. I also bandaged his own bitten finger.

Amuro breathed a sigh of relief: Thank you, thank you for your hard work, I'll pay for the medical bills.

Shrugging with Xie Ye: Anyway, we are also responsible, so we don't have to pay for the medical expenses.

Izumi Kagyoka suddenly stepped out from behind Atsushi Nakajima, her knife already in the sheath, and her head hung down: ......... I'll apologize to him when Tsurumi wakes up, I'm very sorry...... I was impulsive.

Toru Amuro: I'm sorry, I'll pass it on for you. With Dr. Yosano, can I take Ahe away?

Yes, but he's still sleeping.

It's okay, I can hold him and be careful not to wake him up. Toru Amuro said, hemp

Just call me a taxi.

He Xie Ye was about to get out of the way of opening the door of the infirmary, when he heard Ranbu lazily stop: "You can go, he can't." ”

Toru Amuro's eyebrows: Why?

The disguise on his body was ineffective after falling asleep, and there must have been a lot of people out there looking for him. Ranbu said, "You've met it on the way here.

Amuro thought of the man in the suit who was looking for someone but couldn't find him, and the other party was staring at Ah He for a while, and he was dismissed with his eyes.

Thinking about it now, Ah He's behavior at that time was very strange. I see.

Amuro thought to himself that he had been wrong all along.

Ah He is by no means an aggressive kitten, but a cat cub with sharp claws, courage and resourcefulness.
