Chapter 125: ...... Ten Years Later （4）

“…… Are you some kind of perverted seducer?! ”

Ikekawa scolded through gritted teeth.

He tugged the front collar of the person in front of him, and all the case materials that the other party had just held in his hand were knocked down and scattered on the marble floor.

Shuichi Akai spread out his hands and made a gesture of surrender, his expression not looking apologetic.

This attitude makes the accuser even more angry.

"You guy!" If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have any weapons at her disposal now, Ikekawa would have wanted to see blood on the marble floor.

Recalling the scene just now, when he woke up in the posture of [curled up in Shuichi Akai's arms], his face changed again and again, and finally froze on the thin red that he didn't know whether it was shame or annoyance.

And what this guy did while his mind was not clear, he could already be sent to court for trial for coaxing this crime!

"I don't think my previous actions were coaxing." "From a certain point of view, this is just a statement of facts. ”

"The facts?" Ikekawa Na almost laughed angrily.

As soon as he thought that the result of 'stating the facts' at that time was that he took the initiative to pull his hair away and let the guy in front of him mark it, he wanted to kill the other party first, and then kill himself.

Extinguish the mouth, must extinguish the mouth!

"Those are the judgments I made based on my analysis of these symptoms. Judging by the results, there should be nothing wrong with this. Shuichi Akai looked as usual, "As for why you wake up in this position......"

From the other party's face, I saw the big words "Isn't this what you asked", and before these words were really spoken, Ikekawa Nai hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth.

"Shut up." He gritted his teeth.

He didn't want to hear it from this guy again, how he was in that state and asked him to bring himself with him.

It's a shame...... Who would have thought that the 'mark' would also bring such sequelae, when I was bitten by Gin, I was fine!

Wait a minute......

Looking at Shuichi Akai's face close at hand, Ikekawa Na suddenly remembered another thing.

He slowly lowered his head and found himself straddled the other.

When he woke up, he grabbed the other party's collar and began to question, and he even forgot that he didn't get off the person.

“！”

The flushed face that was already covered with a layer of flush became even redder, and Ikekawa Na hurriedly went down and coughed twice to hide the panicked expression on his face.

Akai Shuichi at this age is really difficult to deal with, no matter what he says, he feels like he is hitting cotton, and sure enough, when he is old, he is in trouble.

Straightening his clothes, he tied up his half-length hair with a tie and looked at the man sitting on the couch.

The man wears only a thin sweater and slim-fitting slacks at home, and the close-fitting clothing outlines the explosive muscle lines, and sits on the single sofa like a beast for a short rest.

He held his head, his dark green eyes were much deeper than ten years ago, and the sharper edges and corners concealed the coldness that once hung on his face, and the subtlety of the corners of his eyes combined a unique rhythm.

It is like a spicy and sweet sake that has been brewed in a barrel for a long time, adding other flavors that are difficult to replicate.

The man ten years later did have a big difference in size with himself, so he just slept on that person...... Very good.

Not wanting to admit it, Ikekawa frowned and fell on the information that was everywhere on the ground.

From just now, Akai Shuichi's eyes fell on him, and his gaze always had a very vague tolerance. It's like he's playing a child's temper.

Again, it's tough for a guy of this age.

Thinking about it, the 'difficult guy' sitting on the sofa stood up. He quickly gathered up the materials on the ground and approached closer.

Under the age difference, even his height seems to have shrunk in front of Shuichi Akai, and the instinct accumulated by staying in the organization all year round makes Ikekawa Na subconsciously wary of all those who can't be easily subdued.

He took two steps back and found the best position for attacking and defending, but the other party just put the materials he had read on the bookshelf.

"Don't be so vigilant." "Until we find a way back, we'll have to be roommates for a while." In your current situation, it may be difficult to act alone. ”

After all, he now has no documents to prove his identity, no savings, and no electronic devices to communicate.

“…… After all, before I came here, I was on the opposite side of you, so it's normal to be wary. Ikekawa whispered, and after a moment's pause, he remembered the topic he had been interrupted earlier.

"You said before that it was because of your ...... 'wish'? I'm just here. Isn't it enough to think about it again, like wishing he could go back to the original timeline? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that." Shuichi Akai put down his hand to organize the materials.

Before Ikekawa spoke, he explained, "I think that the people of ten years ago were brought here because of a 'strong and real' desire, and I don't have a clue about other reasons for the time being." ”

"If the wish has to be fulfilled in order to be fulfilled, then I can't do it now, even if I pretend to want you to go back now."

"What do you mean......" Ikekawa paused, "you don't want me to go?" ”

Only then did he look at the other party, catching heavy emotions in those dark green eyes.

The atmosphere seemed to cool down suddenly, and those who were only used to organizing those who were tempting and mocking really didn't know how to deal with the current situation, so they could only turn their heads and whisper, "...... An FBI wouldn't be ready to find any more information on me if he asked members of a criminal organization to stay, right? ”

This is his most skillful tentative play, and the person who is bewildered by what happened before him finally regains his confidence in the second half of the sentence, and his words are skillfully sarcastic.

"Nope."

The FBI agents didn't play their cards according to common sense at all, and didn't take his words at all.

He turned his head, his eyebrows illuminated by the soft sunlight shining through the gauze curtains, and when he said this, there was no expression on his face, only a burning seriousness: "I miss you very much." ”

"So against my heart, I made a wish to send you away, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"......" Ikekawa opened her mouth.

In the first twenty years of his life, he had not learned how to deal with such words, and he twisted his face in embarrassment, and his lips spurted for a long time without speaking.

“…… Then I'll look for something else. He turned and walked towards the study, his steps so fast that he could describe it as 'escape', "Are there any books in the bookcase?" ”

Hearing the words of the two words that did not match the preamble, Akai Shuichi couldn't help but smile, and seeing that the other party was about to go into the study again, and continue to be a vampire living at home like he had done, he stepped forward quickly.

Holding the doorknob of the study, a calloused hand reached from behind him and stopped him before he could unscrew it.

"Go change your clothes." Akai Shuichi looked at the other party's earlobes that did not retreat and smiled, "I'll go out in a while." ”

"Out of the house?" Akakawa Na turned her head to look at him, "Where are you going?" ”

An hour later, Ikekawa Na stood in front of the entrance inlaid with a huge logo, listening to the laughter and annoyance of the child in her ear, her expression stiffening.

“…… What exactly are you misrecounting about me? He turned his head and whispered to the man who was buying a ticket not far away, "Why do you want to come to this place?" ”

Behind him, the four big words 'Ocean Paradise' are particularly eye-catching.

"Thank you." Taking the ticket handed by the conductor, Shuichi Akai looked at him, "I just don't want you to be stuffy in the room all the time, it's not far from the apartment, and there are fewer people on weekdays." ”

After that, he glanced down at the headband in his hand, and spoke again: "Buy a double ticket as a gift, do you want to wear it?" ”

Chikawa Nai followed his words and saw that there were two conspicuous rabbit ears on the headband on the other party's hand, one of which was tied with a small blue flower at the root of the ear, which was particularly consistent with the main color of Ocean Paradise.

"Who wants to wear something like this?!"

After being rejected, the man showed an expression of expectation and regret, and finally had to put it back in the gift bag and carry it in his hand.

"There's no way to go back for the time being, so it's better to look around first." Looking at the other party's somewhat resistant expression, Akai Shui, "You were in the United States at the time, so you shouldn't have much time to go anywhere else." ”

In fact, he didn't lack time at all, but he didn't have a chance. Even when he has nothing to do every day, he can only stay in his suite and read the books that he can never finish.

Ikekawa Na's expression moved slightly.

Half of the park was a play area, half was a variety of pavilions, and after they entered, they skipped the various amusement items and walked towards the pavilion.

Indeed, as Akai said, there are very few people on weekdays, and young tourists often gather in the amusement area, and there are very few people in the aquarium.

The entire museum is illuminated by lights and water in a quiet blue, and the huge glass exhibition surface rises on both sides, and people walking in it are like walking in the depths of the ocean. All kinds of fish stretched inside, and Ikekawa looked up with a look of indifference between her eyebrows.

"Taste it." Akai's voice broke the silence.

He handed over what he was holding, a single scoop of ice cream, vanilla-flavored, milky scoop of ice cream in a cone shell, garnished with biscuits and chocolate in the shape of small fish.

“…… Thank you. Feeling that she has been thanking herself since she came, Ikekawa Na stretched out her hand to take the ice cream from the other party's hand, but was avoided.

Dodging the other party's outstretched hand, Shuichi Akai directly brought the ice cream to his mouth, "It melts quickly, and it's easy to get your hands dirty." Let's eat it like this. ”

The young man frowned, he said 'it's okay', and tried to pick up the cone wrapped in a napkin, but failed after several attempts.

Shuichi Akai at this age was particularly stubborn in some ways, and after he tried unsuccessfully, he could only comb the hair that hung down to the side of his face behind his ears, and slightly attached himself to it and bit it on it.

Shuichi Akai had a distinctly happy expression.

Everything after that went as usual, and the man seemed to like to let him eat with his own hands, whether it was marshmallows or chicken legs in a long line, he had to take them himself and feed them to him, without letting the other hand pass it at all.

Inexplicably, it's reminiscent of this guy's behavior at the summer festival, is it a ...... used to it?

What's even more strange is that Akai Shuichi has always been reluctant to let him take over by himself, but he does not reject his action of holding his wrist with his hand in order to make it easier to eat.

Ikekawa really didn't think about what kind of pleasure the other party could enjoy from feeding others.

I couldn't quite figure out the brain circuits of this FBI agent, but now that there is an age difference of more than ten years, it is even more difficult to figure out the intention of the other party's actions.

I thought it would be strange to go out with each other, but at the end of the day, there was no discomfort, and Shuichi Akai did have a strong sense of proportion, and always backed down at the right time.

When following the other party into the large supermarket near the apartment, Ikekawa Nai couldn't help but glance at the FBI in front of him a few more times.

It's really different.

"What do you want to eat at night?" Shuichi Akai, who was pushing a supermarket cart and didn't know that he had been looked at from head to foot by the man in the back, said, "The front is the delicatessen area. ”

Shuichi Akai is still not very good at cooking, which is the same as in the past. There are a lot of semi-finished cooked foods in the supermarket here, and you can casually cope with three meals a day.

But now that there is one more person in the family, it is rare for men who usually don't care much about their lives to go to the vegetable and fruit section and prepare to choose some seasonal fruits.

Seeing that Ikekawa Na was struggling with a pile of beef with various parts, Shuichi Akai walked over and said in a low voice, "I'll go to the vegetable side, what do you want to eat?" ”

Vegetable? I don't want to eat anything. Ikekawa Na showed a look of resistance.

The two 'confronted' each other for a long time, and finally he turned his face away from the elder's gaze and said in a compromise: "As long as it's not a carrot." ”

Shuichi Akai chuckled lowly, "Good boy." ”

The man took advantage of the gesture and wrapped his hand slightly around the back of his neck. The rough skin rubbed against the back of her neck, which was no longer protected by a frenulum, and Ikekawa couldn't help but shudder.

He frowned to look at the other party, and found that Akai Shuichi's face showed a kind of pleasure because of this action.

This guy.

After the other party finished this action, he walked very fast, so that he couldn't say his original question.

Ikekawa Nai glared at the back of the other party leaving, and before she could fall on the beef in front of her again, another person walked behind her.

"Hello, boy."

Just as she was about to reach for the steak she was interrupted by a sound behind her, Ikakawa turned her head and felt that the person standing behind her was a little familiar.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, but because of age, there is a unique mature charm, and he still wears a pair of glasses on his face...... It was the FBI agent named Judy.

Not smelling any danger, he paused and replied 'hello'.

"What is the relationship between that person and you?" The visitor looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, her expression was serious.

What relationship? Ikekawa paused for a moment, not figuring out why he was asked by this colleague of Shuichi Akai.

In the book he reads, it's either a rival or a police officer who asks this kind of question, but ...... Looking at the other party's expression, it seems that there is no emotion that the previous identity should have.

That's the latter? Could it be that the other party still has an impression of him, a member of a criminal organization ten years ago?

Seeing that the other party didn't answer for a long time, Judy's expression became a little more serious.

Isn't that more suspicious?

She originally just came to the supermarket to buy something, and who knew that she met familiar people on the way.

As soon as she wanted to say hello to the other party, she saw Shuichi Akai take the hot dog she bought at the roadside shop and walk towards the person standing on the side of the street.

The man was wearing a sweater and coat, loose in size and familiar style, clearly belonging to Shuichi Akai.

Judy originally thought that this guy who only had work in his heart finally made progress emotionally, and just took a few steps closer to say hello and teased a few words, but stopped when he saw the other party's face clearly.

The man was wearing a scarf, his chin was covered by soft fabric, and his already youthful face was even a little childish at the moment, and the Asian was already small in appearance, coupled with a new expression about everything around him......

The mood that was originally congratulatory and ridiculous changed suddenly, and she even wanted to take out handcuffs on the spot.

No, wait a minute. She still believes in the character of her colleagues.

After that, she watched Shuichi Akai coax the other party and let the young man hold his wrist with both hands and bow his head to eat a hot dog, with a happy expression.

Judy: ......

She continued to watch, watching as Shuichi Akai quietly pulled the distance and led the other person into the supermarket in a posture of enveloping the person in her arms, always holding the back of the other's neck with her palm.

Judy: ......

She took a deep breath and followed her closer to the supermarket, where she saw Shuichi Akai chuckling and saying, "Good boy." ”

Judy: ......

The female FBI agent looked blank.

Xiu, do you know that you are acting like an abductor right now?

And the other party didn't say what their relationship was...... But it's also possible that it's just shyness.

Thinking like this, Judy, who was still willing to believe her colleagues, coughed twice and asked, "I saw you guys getting close just now, is it a romantic relationship?" ”

"It's not." Ikekawa Na immediately denied it, "It's just temporary cohabitation." ”

Not lovers, but living together and still wearing each other's full clothes. Judy almost couldn't hold back her expression.

She took a deep breath, a little dizzy, but still began to probe the last question that was enough to convict, "I'm sorry, I'm a police officer and I'm investigating a case right now. ”

Giving herself a good excuse with this statement, she quickly stated her purpose: "Can you let me check my papers?" ”

After asking this sentence, Judy sensed that the other party was a little wary.

It can't really be underage, right?!

After waiting for a while, she waited for the answer that she didn't have her documents at home.

Okay, Shuichi Akai. Now your crime is not to lure a minor, but to illegally bring home a runaway and penniless citizen.

"Judy?"

A familiar voice sounded in the background, and Judy turned her head to look at him, her expression changing from looking at a colleague in a relationship to looking at a potential prisoner: "You better explain, what the hell is going on with this boy?" He can't be a minor, right? ”

Immediately understanding why his colleague would talk to Ikekawa Na, Shuichi Akai paused, handed the wallet to the person next to him, and motioned for him to go to the checkout first.

Not wanting to be involved in this matter in the first place, Ikekawa Na quickly left.

It's impossible to talk about this kind of thing with others since ten years ago, and Shuichi Akai quickly found other excuses, and by the way, emphasized the identity of the other party's adulthood.

Not only adulthood, but adulthood for a long time.

"Okay, trust you." Listening to the other party's explanation, Judy frowned and reluctantly believed it, and she reached out and pressed the corner of her swollen forehead, reminding.

"But...... You remember to send someone back early. In any case, he is now running away from home without any papers, which is no different from 'running away from home'. You should not have gotten permission to cohabit from the other person's family? ”

Shuichi Akai didn't respond, he frowned and looked outside the supermarket, and the young man after settling the bill was attracted by the shop outside, pushed open the glass door and left.

"Hey, he just went out first, you don't have to be nervous like an old father who comes out with a child for the first time." Judy made a joke, and at the end of the sentence she looked up at the other person's expression, not missing the gloom that flashed in Akai Shu's eyes.

"Honestly, are you a little too controlling in this kind of thing?"

The young boy couldn't see how at her age, how could she not see the true thoughts of Shuichi Akai hiding underneath. Not to mention, this guy didn't notice it by the other party, so he didn't hide it at all.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of chatting any further, she sighed and shook her head: "Okay, since it's just a misunderstanding, then I'll go first." But be careful, Xiu, I don't want to arrest you myself. ”

After saying a brief goodbye to her, Shuichi Akai turned around and walked outside.

The float that attracted Ikekawa Na just now was still parked in front of the supermarket, but the person walking towards the cart was nowhere to be seen, and the contents of the shopping bag were placed next to his car.

Putting all of this into the trunk, the man turned on his phone with a calm face and clicked into a piece of software.

On the screen, the red dot representing the location has left the supermarket location.

His brow furrowed, his fingers tapping on the phone screen. Shuichi Akai suddenly remembered that when he was talking to Judy just now, there was a car flashing outside in the afterglow.
