Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 117 The Change of Sakurada Gate (1)

  Ten days are fleeting.

   On the 23rd day of the first month of the Tianyuan calendar,

  Emperor Tokumei's annual birthday.

   During the ten days after the start of school, for Higashinohara, he just reintegrated into the life of the school again. Regular exercise every day improves his basic attributes little by little, and the intensity of exercise is also gradually increasing. At present, he has reached a group of 130.

   Higashinohara’s plan is to wait until the push-ups, sit-ups, and squats have been upgraded to a group of 200, and when the attribute improvement is slow again, he will start to shorten the time spent exercising to achieve the purpose of increasing the intensity.

However, in the same short period of ten days, as the search and rescue ship of the Beihai Guard expanded the scope of the search and rescue, Tokugawa Kuritora still had no news and moved back to Higashinohara next door. Day after day it became darker and darker, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually lost.

  Last night, Miri Nishimaru was wearing the light yellow pajamas, carrying the old doll that used to live here, and timidly knocked on the door of Higashinohara like the little beast who was often homeless back then.

  Under the sky full of stars, the little girl's crystal clear teardrops fell from her trembling eyelashes, more and more, she raised her hand to wipe it, but more tears gushed out from between her fingers.

   After a while, the little girl raised her head, bit her thin lips and looked at Higashinohara stubbornly, "Big Brother, did Dad really leave this world?"

   Higashinohara was silent for a moment, did not answer, but just rubbed the girl's pale golden hair.

However, after thinking about it all night, when he woke up today, Higashinohara still took the sword box wrapped in black cloth and put it in his travel bag—because today there will be student representatives from Zhuyuan Minami Private Academy who will drive to the Sakurada Gate for virtue. Tomorrow Emperor's birthday celebration.

  Higashi Nohara is the representative of class F in the first year.

  It's not that he has to act regardless.

  I just want to see if there is a suitable opportunity, if there is, then give an explanation to Miri Nishimaru who trusts herself so much.

  At the same time, he also wanted to say goodbye to Tokugawa Kuritora, who once gave him a sword, so that he would no longer let the little girl live in endless waiting.

  That would be too cruel for her.

   Wano Kuni Imperial Palace is located in Chiyoda Ward.

  Near Shin Tokyo Station.

  There is an old-fashioned tea shop called "Tiansenluo" at the entrance of New Tokyo Station. It specializes in baked bread and coffee. It is the preferred choice for breakfast for many office workers near New Tokyo Station.

In front of the bright floor-to-ceiling windows in the store, there are long tables lined up in a row. At one end of the long table is a booklet handmade by the clerk. There are five or six leaflets about the size of a palm. Drawn "bread illustration book".

  However, because today is the Emperor’s Birthday Tencho Festival, a public holiday for national celebrations, the brochures there are replaced with a batch of life introductions and some interesting anecdotes of the current Emperor Tokumei and his wife.

  At this time, a handsome, no, it should be a handsome young man wearing a woolen trench coat, standing in front of the cash register bored.

  He pressed his hand on the lid of the hot coffee cup, smiling, and the girl at the counter in a blue clerk uniform with slightly flushed cheeks hurriedly packed bread for him.

   After paying the money, the girl looked nervously at this handsome man who had never seen him before. The man had bought breakfast from this store for ten consecutive days, and the mellow and fragrant smile on the corner of his lips was as intoxicating as ever.

   If you don't try.

  Life is missing every day.

  She inexplicably remembered this sentence before going to bed last night.

  Finally, the girl plucked up the courage, and while handing over the packaged bread, she also handed over the contact information she had secretly written on a pink post-it note when she was hand-grinding coffee beans just now.

   "Hello, this is my contact information, me."

"thanks."

  The girl with a blushing face stammered and finished speaking, and the handsome young man took the packaged bread and post-it notes.

  He opened the post-it note and glanced at it, then carefully folded it and put it in the pocket of the coat, giving people a feeling of familiarity with the road.

   It seems that this is not the first time I have encountered,

   It is not the first time this situation has been dealt with.

  The girl behind the cash register lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at the young man, but said in a voice like a mosquito, "What do you need for breakfast tomorrow, I can prepare it for you in advance."

"thanks."

  The young man thanked him again, and said with a chuckle, "But I think... I probably won't come here to buy breakfast tomorrow."

The girl behind the cashier suddenly raised her head, her ponytail jumped behind her head, the freckles on her face shone in the morning sun, and she asked very nervously, "Ah! Why? It's my abruptness that bothered you. Is it? I'm really sorry if that's the case, please be sure"

   "No no no that's not the case."

  The handsome young man interrupted her apology, shook his head and said gently, "Because my work is about to end today, I don't need to come here again."

   "Ah, that's it. Then. I wish you success in your future work."

  The girl had a look of great loss on her face.

"thanks."

  The man turned around with a smile in his arms, holding coffee and bread, and walked towards the door of the store.

  The girl behind the cash register thought that today is the last time she will see her, and she will never see her charming smile again tomorrow. She even forgot to ask her name. Endless sadness appeared on her face.

   It turns out it doesn't matter whether you try it or not.

  Life is still missing.

  However, when she looked up inadvertently, the girl behind the cashier suddenly widened her eyes, covered her mouth suddenly, and stared at the direction of the door.

  At the door of the store, there were two middle-aged men in hats sitting on the left and right. They were ordering a cup of coffee as they did every day these days, spreading out the newspaper and reading the newspaper in the morning light with glasses.

  However, at this moment, the two of them collapsed in a pool of blood on the table at the same time, the newspaper under their bodies was stained red by the gurgling blood, their arms hanging down weakly twitched slightly, and their wide eyes were full of panic before death.

   What surprised the girl the most was .

  The gentle and charming handsome young man was holding bread in one hand, coffee was hanging on his slender fingers, while in the other hand he was holding a ninja short knife about 50 cm in length, and the blood dripped down on the ground along the blade.

The handsome man wiped his ninja knife on the clothes of one person who collapsed on the table, leaned slightly and found a micro-communicator from the collar of the corpse, and said to the other end with a light smile, "Hello! I am Fuma Lucy, don't stare at me anymore."

"because.

  I'll be coming to you soon. "

   After finishing speaking, he lifted the hem of the woolen coat, inserted the ninja knife back into the inner holster, turned his head and smiled at the girl behind the cash register who was looking at him with wide eyes and covering her mouth:

   "See you again."

  The frightened girl trembled her lips, wanting to answer something, but by the time she spoke, the young man had already walked away along the road.

at the same time.

  Chiyoda Ward Council Building.

  The office area of ​​Wanzhi National Security Committee became a mess after the phone rang.

   At this time, it was in the Imperial Palace behind the Sakurada Gate, which was far away.

  Emperor Tokumei's 60th birthday, a grand celebration for the whole country, slowly kicked off amid the birthday celebrations of various ministers, foreign guests and non-governmental delegations.
