Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 94 Accidents during the journey

  Is Tokugawa Kuritora coming to Hokkaido for a business trip?

  In the Hoshino Resort Hotel, Higashinohara's first reaction when he heard the news was. Is there something going on in Hokkaido recently?

  But thinking that the other party is in a high position, and he often ran around Kyoto, Osaka, and Nagoya when he was in New Tokyo, he felt relieved, smiled and rubbed Miri Nishimaru's small head to express that there was no problem.

   It's not a big deal to meet each other.

   "Good morning, Higashino-san."

"Good morning."

  But when we were eating breakfast in the hotel cafeteria, for some reason, many girls in the same class and even the class next door greeted Higashinohara shyly when they met each other very naturally.

what's the situation?

   Higashinohara will not deceive himself, he knows very well that his appearance in this life is not bad, so it seems a bit modest to say so.

   It should be quite outstanding, thriving, and there is nothing wrong with attracting bees and butterflies.

  But before that, although the girls around occasionally met Higashinohara with sideways glances, there were not many cases where they greeted Higashinohara shyly and timidly like today.

   Higashinohara didn't know that it was a girl's reserve not to say hello before, and casually greeting a strange boy would give people a frivolous feeling.

But when there was an episode at the ski resort yesterday afternoon, so many girls gathered around to help him stand in line. Although some talked, many didn't say anything, but the girls felt that everyone "shared weal and woe" together. Naturally, it is a little closer and no longer unfamiliar.

  Without that layer of psychological barriers, the meeting is not just a greeting.

   Although you don’t expect anything to happen when you say hello, but the handsome smile that the latter responds politely, like the warm winter sun, can make you happy all day just by looking at your mood.

  The seats for breakfast were random, Higashinohara sat by the window with a plate in his hand, and Nishimaru Miri sat opposite him, sipping a children's set meal.

   After a while, Hayato Aida from the upstairs also moved a chair with a plate and sat in the aisle. The morning sun reflected the white snow and reflected through the window, giving people a feeling of clearness between heaven and earth.

  At this time, the Hokkaido local station began to broadcast the morning news on the LCD screen in front of the cafeteria.

   "The following broadcasts a news about a village on the outskirts of Fort Tarkov, the capital of Shayash."

  The female anchor paused after saying this, and a group of photos of the scene appeared on the screen. Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the ruins of ruins were scorched and messy.

  At this time, the voice-over from the TV with a somewhat sad and indignant tone came into my ears.

  "According to the latest reports from our front-line reporters, the Grand Duchy of Shayash, which has recently announced its disintegration, is in constant turmoil. A village has been attacked by an unidentified Celestial Squad. The property in the village has been plundered, and the old, weak, women and children have been massacred."

  Seeing this news, many students in the Takehara South Academy in the cafeteria couldn’t help being a little stunned. Although there have been vicious terrorist incidents in Wano Country, there has never been such a rampant and serious one.

   It's just that everyone present had just experienced a terrorist attack on the school in the Ice and Snow Festival not long ago, and they were a little terrified, and everyone couldn't help talking in a low voice for a while.

  Some people are angry at those slaughterers who have no conscience, and some people feel that it is fortunate that they were not born in a country full of turmoil and chaos.

  Higashi Nohara listened to the discussions of the people beside his ears. Apart from feeling the fragility of life in his heart, he didn't have much emotion. In his opinion, the Wano country in this world is not much better.

  After breakfast, class leader Hamada Yuka took the roll call as usual.

  After all the people in the two classes assembled, the group took the shuttle bus to Chaoli Railway Station according to today's schedule, and got on the slow train to Otaru.

   As the name suggests, a slow car is a relatively slow car.

  This kind of train stops at many stations along the way, and stops as soon as it sees the station. Naturally, the speed cannot be increased, but it is very suitable for tourists who go sightseeing, and is affectionately called "Station Station Music".

  Asari is a small village near the sea, somewhat similar to Koshimizu Town, Shari County, Higashinohara’s hometown.

  The small houses by the sea are all colorful, and there is a sense of fairy tales that amazed children like Miri Nishimaru. After entering the station, they took a short rest and got on the train on the platform.

  Accompanied by the prompt of the train announcer in the ear, the platform outside the window receded like rewinding. Higashinohara plugged in his earphones, and the colorful low buildings on the side of the road quickly flashed in front of his eyes.

  Nishimaru Miri sat quietly opposite him, the little girl was holding a painted fairy tale book called "King Ranking", which was said to be very popular recently, and it told the story of a little prince.

  She was concentrating on watching, the pale golden bangs on her forehead swayed slightly, and the clear morning light outside the car window shone on Higashinohara's side face, inexplicably giving people a sense of ease and laziness.

   But the vibe didn't last long.

   After a while, it was broken by a few boys wearing the uniform of a certain school in Sapporo sitting on the opposite side of the aisle in their carriage.

   It was a row of front and rear facing four-seaters, and in the middle was a foldable small table for sundries.

Among the two people sitting next to each other, the short boy with a scar on his forehead suddenly grabbed the hair on the back of the head of the tall, eye-eyed man next to him, and pressed it against the small table without any politeness, and pulled out a piece from somewhere. The iron piece lightly patted the tense side face of the other party.

   "I remember I said, this school trip asked you to bring some money, right? But look, you didn't listen to my words at all. Five thousand yen. What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

   "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I really don't have any money. Yesterday my sister found out that I stole the money and told my mother. I hid all the money at home. Sorry, I really can't find it."

   "Hey, hey! Don't always say sorry, it's like I'm bullying you."

  The two boys who looked like they were from the same school sitting opposite each other were laughing and pointing, and echoing something from time to time. The three of the four were obviously a small group.

   This kind of slow train is very noisy during the journey, everyone in the carriage is chatting, especially in their carriage, there are more girls, no one noticed what happened here amidst the noise.

  Is it bullying among classmates?

  Higashi Nohara showed a thoughtful look.

   This scene couldn't help but remind him of the bad trio of Hikari Sagi in the class. It's a pity that he and his two younger brothers didn't participate in the school trip this time, otherwise he could compete with the three in front of him.

  However, although Higashinohara claimed to be "justice driven by interest", the scene in front of him was obviously not where his justice could reach, so he shook his head and continued to close his eyes and doze off.

  He is not a student of this school, and it is impossible to treat criminals like criminals. Even if the encounter during the trip is taken care of once, the boy will only suffer intensified revenge after he leaves.

   Fortunately, that group of people didn't seem to go too far.

   Seeing that he couldn't get any money, he calmed down after a while.

   Higashinohara squinted his eyes in the sunlight, and shook his head at Miri Nishimaru who was sitting beside him with his little head tilted and staring from behind the fairy tale book.

   Seeing that there was nothing left and right, his consciousness was immersed in the [Guilty Manual] and continued to "practice swords in the brain" to improve the proficiency of the Kodachi two-sword style.

   Now he has brushed up to advanced 30/100, although there is still a distance from the master, but this cannot be achieved overnight, it still needs to be done bit by bit.

Miri Nishimaru, who was next to her, saw Higashinohara taking a rest with her eyes closed. It was cold in Hokkaido. She gently took out a small blanket from her backpack and covered Higashinohara's legs, and found that Higashinohara was not disturbed. With a sweet smile on her face, she lowered her head and continued to read her storybook.

  Before I knew it, forty minutes passed, and it was almost noon. According to the plan today, I should take a bus to Otaru for lunch.

Higashinohara opened his eyes and rubbed his sleepy eyelids. He was too tired after exiting the video space of the Guilty Manual, and he actually fell asleep. At this time, he saw the fluffy blanket on his body and couldn't help but smile slightly. .

   This little guy is quite caring.

Um?

   But where did she go?

   Higashinohara looked around the aisle with some doubts, but he didn't find the little guy Miri Nishimaru, and he was also stunned when he glanced over and walked to the seats opposite.

  The four boys were gone.

   Higashinohara suddenly frowned slightly, stood up and was about to look for it, but at this time, Nishimaru Miri came trotting quickly from the aisle in front of the carriage.

  He breathed a sigh of relief.

  The little guy is too young, even if he is a person with dual talents, after all, his wings are not yet full, so it is not so reassuring.

   "Mili, have you gone to the bathroom?" Higashinohara smiled and sat down again.

  Nishimaru Miri's small face was a little tense, as if she had encountered something, she walked up to Higashinohara and didn't climb onto the seat, but pulled Higashinohara's big hand instead.

  The latter leaned down slightly.

  Nishimaru Miri leaned closer to Higashinohara's ear, and said very worriedly, "Big brother, the bathroom door in front cannot be opened, me and me."

   "What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?"

   Higashinohara looked back and forth, and just happened to be a few boys sitting next to him in the back aisle. They seemed to be coming from the bathroom in the back carriage, so he asked casually:

   "Do you want to change carriages?"

  Nishimaru Miri shook her little head vigorously, glanced at the boys behind her secretly, and said in a low voice, "No, no! I seem to see blood and the smell of blood in the crack of the door on the ground."

  Is there blood under the door?

   Higashinohara frowned when he heard the words.

   "Have you opened it?"

   "I didn't open it."

   "Let's go, I'll take a look with you."

   Higashinohara stood up and took Nishimaru Miri with him, and the two stood up and walked forward.

  The three men coming from behind just sat down. Seeing them get up and move forward, two of the boys seemed to be a little nervous, and the short boy with a scar on his forehead gave them a hard look.

  The two hurriedly averted their eyes.

  At this time, the short boy looked at Higashinohara who was walking forward with Miri Nishimaru, and suddenly an unknown light flashed in his eyes, and he greeted the three of them and stood up again.

  In the bathroom in front of the car.

   Higashinohara also saw the blood stains between the cracks of the door, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, and lightly patted Miri Nishimaru, who was clutching himself nervously with his small hands.

  The next moment, he pushed open the door.

   Blood!

   Blood is all over the floor!

  The one who fell in a pool of blood was the tall man with glasses who was bullied just now.

  At this moment, the lens on his face was cracked and one piece was blurred, the clothes on his chest were blood red, and the other glass that was still visible under the mirror was staring round, and the dilated pupil was full of fear and unwillingness to die.

"what!"

   Behind him, Miri Nishimaru glanced curiously, let out a moderate exclamation, and then was covered by Higashinohara's eyes—children's eyes should avoid seeing such things.

  At this moment, the train was still running, but Higashinohara was in a bit of trouble.

at this point.

  He doesn't quite know if he should "follow the procedure" right now, should he shout something like "Help, someone died" like in the midnight drama.

  However, someone seemed to see Higashinohara's predicament, only to hear an extremely ear-piercing man screaming from the aisle behind him!

   "Help! Someone killed someone!"

  Higashi Nohara had actually noticed that someone was coming from the rear compartment, but he didn't expect that the other party could still see the bathroom from that angle, and went through a procedure very neatly.

  Wait, someone killed someone?

  But hearing what the other party shouted, Higashinohara couldn't help frowning slightly.

  He turned around and poked his head out of the bathroom, seeing the face of the short boy with a scar on his forehead, and the faces of the two boys following him were full of unnatural horror.

  The latter three probably thought that Higashino should panic.

   Think about it, too. On a peaceful train, you push open the door of the bathroom, and you are surprised to find a corpse lying in a pool of blood.

  Normal people should be a little panicked.

   But what they didn't expect was that Higashinohara in front of them had a very calm face, and he didn't seem to panic because of the corpse in front of him.

   On the contrary, the other party looked at them, as if they were looking at a group of clowns with poor acting skills, and the short boy with a scar on his forehead suddenly felt a "thump" in his heart.

   But something seemed to come to his mind. He settled down a bit, and then increased his screaming voice again.

   Soon, he attracted the surprised eyes of countless people in the front and rear carriages, as well as the attention of the police officers on the train, and everyone who stopped talking gathered around him.

  After half an hour.

  The train stopped at the platform named Tomacho during the journey. Most of the passengers on the train were mainly students from Takehara Minami Private Academy, and all other passengers were blocked and stayed at the station.

  Fortunately, this kind of train is originally a slow train for sightseeing. It is slow, has many stops, and there are temporary stops in the middle to give way to the train, but this time it encountered such an accident.

   "What's the situation? Higashino killed someone?"

   "What nonsense! Higashino-kun is so handsome, how could he kill someone?"

   "That's true. But I think the police officers found the murder weapon in Higashino-kun's bag. It was a piece of iron."

   "It hasn't been identified yet, maybe it's framed."

   "Exactly, is that boy with the scar on his forehead a witness? Why does he look so fierce?"

  “.”

  In the inquiry room of the police station in Toma-cho.

  The short boy with a scar on his forehead is named Ko Imai. At this moment, he is leaning against the back of his chair bored, playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and glances at Higashinohara with a calm face from time to time.

   When he lowered his head to look at the phone again, there was a glimmer of haze in his eyes. Does this guy really know nothing about being afraid?

   Just like that **** guy.

money?

  Do I need your money?

  Damn it!

  Why are you not afraid of me!

  Suddenly, two men in black formal suits hurried into the inquiry room. After entering the door, they didn't look at the suspect Higashinohara, but lowered their heads slightly and came to Imai Kou's side.

   "Sorry sorry! It's been a long wait."

  Ko Imai raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them, and said nonchalantly, "It's been a long time."

  He put away his mobile phone and said to the two, "My transcript has been finished, now I can go."

   "Of course, you are welcome." The two said with a slight bow.

   Higashinohara watched the scene in front of him coldly, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.

   It turned out to be a child of the powerful.

  Is there a senior official named Imai in Hokkaido?

  Hmm. Thinking about the news I saw when I came here, it seems that the mayor of Sapporo City under the governor is called Imai Yuta.

   Could it be the son of the local second-in-command? !

  Ko Imai glanced at Higashinohara when he got up, sneered, and turned to the door of the inquiry room.

  Unexpectedly, at this moment, the figure at the position of Higashinohara gradually dimmed, and then Ko Imai's figure flashed in front of him, and a figure had already blocked the door.

"what are you doing?"

   "It's a person with abilities!"

  Ko Imai was taken aback when he saw this.

  The two men in black formal suits who had just entered the door looked serious.

  Higashi Nohara shook his head, watching Imai Kodou calmly, "You can't leave."

   "Why don't you let me go?"

  Ko Imai reacted from the initial short-term stunned look, and looked at Higashinohara with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, "The capable person still wants to do whatever he wants in the police station?"

  How could it be possible that he has never seen a capable person with such a background, and Higashinohara's hand naturally couldn't scare him.

Those two men in black formal suits seemed to be capable people too, and surrounded Higashinohara from left to right, and one of them said in a stern tone, "Student, think about it clearly, fighting with us here is assaulting the police. You can get out of homicide and you will be detained."

   "I won't fight with you."

   Higashinohara said softly, "I just want to keep him."

"why?"

  Another person asked subconsciously.

   "Because... he is a murderer."

   Higashinohara looked straight into Imai Kou's irritable eyes, and his tone was very flat, as if he was stating a normal thing like "the sky is blue and the sea is salty".

   At the same time as he said these words, the [Crime Manual] flipped in Higashinohara's mind.

  【Name: Ko Imai】

  【Race: Human】

  【Innate Ability: None】

  【Evil value: 1 and a half stars】

  【Character image profile (click to open)】

  【Randomly selectable task: capture or clear Imai Hang who bullied and killed his classmates by mistake. If the task is successful, you can immediately get an ability or skill, and get a crime value attribute reward】

  Any doubt requires evidence.

  But Higashinohara's suspicion does not need evidence.

Imai Hang was so angry at this time, he roared at Higashinohara with a ferocious face, "What are you talking about?! Are you spitting blood? We all saw you standing next to the corpse, and the police in the car are also in your car The murder weapon was found in his bag."

  Higashi Nohara glanced at him calmly, and suddenly asked, "There is no monitoring in the bathroom, but when I wanted to ask, could you really see the corpse in the bathroom from that position and angle?"

   "If you didn't see the body, why did you scream so quickly?"

   "Where did you go during the time of the victim's death? Does your usual relationship with the victim stand up to investigation?"

   "And... the most critical point."

   Higashinohara stared at Imai Hang's neck, and shook his head slightly, "If I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn't use such a clumsy method."

  Ko Imai was stunned by Higashinohara's series of questions, his face was stunned, and after he realized it, he became angry and pointed at Higashinohara:

   "This guy just wants to take the opportunity to escape! Quick! You catch him!"

  At this moment, there are only four of them in the inquiry room of the police station.

  The two of them looked at Higashinohara, and then at Imai Kou, and connected some rumors, although they already understood a little in their hearts.

   But thinking of the background behind Imai Hang, they looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

   "I'm sorry classmate, please go back to your previous seat."

   Higashinohara nodded when he heard the words, returned to his seat, and said softly, "Yes, but he must also be here."

   Imai Kou heard this and suddenly became angry for no reason!

   In this three-acre land in Sapporo, there are still people of the same age who dare to challenge me!

  Damn it!

   These guys really don't take themselves seriously!

  Is it because he is an illegitimate child?

   But does the old guy have any other sons?

   "Do you think I'm a suspect just like you? I've finished the transcripts that should cooperate, and I'll leave the rest to you. Don't let me down."

   Imai Kou finished speaking quickly, turned around and walked out.

  The two stood in the middle, their eyes fixed on Higashinohara.

   Higashinohara sighed softly.

"Why bother."

Um?

  The two were a little dazed when they heard the words.

  Unexpectedly, a shadow flashed in front of them. Although they were both early-stage power users of the fourth stage, they were not of the speed department.

  Crunch—!

   Just a crisp sound!

  The leg that Imai Kou stepped out was bent instantly, and immediately his body suddenly lost his balance, and he fell directly to the ground with a miserable howl.

  The figure of Higashinohara appeared beside him, looking at Ko Imai calmly.

  He will not have the slightest sympathy for bullying classmates, even murder, even if it is manslaughter.

  He did not assault the police.

  He only keeps those who should stay.

  Ko Imai, who was lying on the ground, was suddenly severely injured. His nose and tears almost came down from the pain, and he yelled fiercely at the two people with red eyes:

   "You guys! Are you just watching? Beat him to death! Beat me to death! My dad will tell me what happened!"

   Higashinohara couldn’t help but look at Imai Kou with some surprise. To be honest, no matter in his past or present life, he has never been able to understand the brain circuit of those cheating second generations shouting "My dad is XX".

  The two people in black formal suits were also dumbfounded.

  They are the fourth-level power users of the Dangma Town Police Station, which is equivalent to the strongest combat power of the local police station, but the young man from other places in front of him seems not to be easily provoked.

do not care.

  It is difficult for a strong dragon to overwhelm a local snake.

   You can't offend both ends.

  The two of them, one with the ability of the flesh system and the other with the ability of the element system, approached vigilantly and were about to use their abilities to work together to capture Higashinohara.

  Unexpectedly, at this moment, footsteps and familiar voices came from outside the inquiry room.

  Can vaguely hear the old You Tiao director of the Dangma Town Police Station saying something with a full face of apologetic smiles, "It's nothing, you are too polite, you have nothing to worry about with me."

Oops!

   To make the director so respectful, did the mayor of Sapporo send someone here? If they saw the mayor's son like this, I'm afraid the two of them would be overwhelmed and walk around.

   Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the old director of the Macho Police Station walked in.

  Seeing the two super-powerful guards attacking Higashinohara at an angle, the old director couldn't help being stunned, and the next moment someone came in from behind.

  He hurried forward and scolded, "What are you doing? Are you extorting confessions by torture? Are there any rules? Are you still talking about the law?"

Um?

  The two super-powered guards were stunned.

   What happened?

The next moment, the two turned their heads, and saw a tall figure with a majestic and resolute face walking in. His short chestnut hair looked like a crouching tiger descending from the mountain. The killing breath came.

   Unexpected!

  The two recognized each other immediately.

  It is team leader Tokugawa!

  In fact, as long as they are the official power users of Wano country, there are not many who don't know this Tokugawa Kuritora who created the power organization structure of Wano country's highest official super power [Third Investigation Team].

   What's more, Tokugawa Kuritora has some very close ties with the remote place of Hokkaido, which makes the ordinary people of Hokkaido have a good impression of this "heavy weapon" of Wano country.

  At this time, beside Tokugawa Kurihu, he was holding a little girl with delicate and lovely pale blond hair in his hand. It seemed to be the girl who followed Higashinohara just before he was brought into the police station's inquiry room.

and many more!

  Doesn’t that mean.

  The boy in front of you knows the leader of Tokugawa?

  The two super-powered guards were dumbfounded.

  They only knew that a strong dragon would never overwhelm a viper, but they didn't expect such a maroon colorful crouching tiger to be entrenched behind the other party. You should have said it earlier if there was such a relationship, bro!

After entering the door, Tokugawa Kuritor glanced over Imai Kou, who was kneeling and howling, and Higashinohara, who was beside him with a calm face, and patted Miri Nishimaru's little head next to him, revealing a rare expression on that majestic and resolute face. smile.

   "I just said, your big brother is fine, believe it now."

   "Hmm!" Miri Nishimaru showed two dimples on her small face.

  Just saw that Higashinohara was taken away by the police, she was so worried that she immediately dialed the number of Tokugawa Kurito who was on a business trip in Hokkaido, and Tokugawa Kurito came very quickly.

  At this time, Tokugawa Kuritoro waved behind him.

   Soon out of the back was a mixed-race human wearing a wavy collar windbreaker, with blue-purple eyes and long golden wavy hair with bangs parted on the front of his forehead. He walked in with a smile on his face.

   "Interrogation? I'm good at this."

  The person who came here was the captain of the sixth team of the third investigation team, Miyano Juro, the master of talent sequence 41 [magician] ability.

  When Higashinohara saw Miyano Juro, he vaguely felt familiar, and then remembered that he seemed to have seen him once outside the villa of the Sigmund Exhibition from a distance.

   Next, the limping witness Ko Imai entered the interrogation room.

Not surprisingly, the horrific pressure given by Miyano Juro, the sixth-level peak psychic ability man, in the interrogation room soon made Ko Imai almost confess his mayor's father's XP system—what happened in the bathroom compartment today Everything was quickly restored to its original state.

The tall, eyed boy who has been bullied for a long time is named Funamachi Kanata. After being blackmailed, he was afraid of any troubles during the school trip. He wanted to leave a good memory for himself on this school trip, so he looked for friends everywhere. borrow money.

  Unexpectedly, this angered Imai Hang.

  As the mayor's son, no matter how "clean" his father is, how could he be really short of money.

   What he needs is awe,

  It's like others are in awe of his father.

  But Funamachi Sota actually borrowed money from classmates and friends. This is undoubtedly an insult to Imai Kokoro, and it is inevitable to start a little harder.

   But what really made him lose his patience was Kanata Funamachi's "stupidity".

  In the bathroom of the train, even if the other party was beaten to the point of blood by him, and his glasses were broken, he still begged him to borrow some money because he didn’t have enough money, but he still didn’t figure out what he really wanted.

  So he was angry!

result

   The other party was killed by him by mistake.

  After the incident, Imai Kou cleaned up the scene in a panic, left the bathroom, and deliberately called someone to go to the bathroom in the next car.

  As for slandering Higashinohara midway, it was purely a "brainstorm" that just happened to happen.

  Of course, it turns out that his sudden idea is tantamount to suicide

   "Have you had lunch yet?"

   A few minutes later, when he left the Toma-cho police station, Tokugawa Kuritora looked at Higashinohara quietly with thick eyebrows, then looked down at Miri Nishimaru who was holding his hand with a smile.

  The latter nodded his head seriously.

  Everyone in the two classes of the surrounding Zhuyuan South Gakuen looked at Tokugawa Kuritora in awe. He was a person with a seventh-level absolute ability, and he was also a high-ranking person.

For a while, everyone was envious of the luck of the boy from the fishing village Higashinohara, who actually met Miri Nishimaru in advance. With such a background, after graduating from New Tokyo, he was simply leaning on a solid and solid backer. Why didn’t he do this? What about luck?

   "Although I don't want to disturb your school trip, but we are here, let's have a light meal together." Tokugawa Kuritora said with a smile, "I know that there is a ramen restaurant nearby that tastes very good. I will regret it if I don't eat it when I come to Hokkaido."

   Higashinohara nodded without any other choice. He found Tachikawa Asuka and asked for a leave of absence. Tachikawa Asuka was also very talkative.

Although she is a famous family in New Tokyo, she still has no arrogance in front of a powerful person like Tokugawa Kuritora, not to mention that the other party is a seventh-level absolute ability user who has stayed at the seventh level for many years. Tian can break through the seventh level and become an eighth-level demigod-level ability user.

  The majestic and resolute face that often appears on TV can be said to be the "heavy weapon of the country" in the hearts of the general public, and a very important strategic talent in Wano Country.

  During the meal, Tokugawa Kuritoro also waved away his subordinates, and he was responsible for his own safety.

  The group of three walked along the path by the sea for a while, and after about seven or eight minutes, they found a small ramen restaurant on the **** of the coast. The old wooden signboard at the door said "Delicious Ramen in Fishing Village".

   "This is the one." Tokugawa Kuritora's thick black eyebrows stretched out.

   "Dad, have you ever been here?" Miri Nishimaru couldn't help but raised her head and asked.

   Higashinohara couldn't help being curious when he saw Tokugawa Kuritoro's familiar appearance just now.

  Tokugawa Kuritoro was rarely taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded a little sadly after a while, "I've been here before, but this ramen shop has changed owners."

   While talking in his mouth, Tokugawa Kuritora has already opened the sea-blue curtain at the door and walked in.

  The furnishings in the ramen shop are very old and the area is not large, but the dozen or so seats are full of people, including regular local customers and tourists from other places. Higashinohara and the others found a four-seater in the corner.

   Soon, a young girl who wasn't pretty but looked very hardworking wore a white chef's hat on her head and trotted over with a menu and a kettle in her arms.

  When the young girl went back, Higashinohara glanced at the back kitchen separated by the curtain, and there seemed to be no one else inside, so she couldn't help but wondered, "Is there only one person in this shop?"

   Tokugawa Kurito took a sip of water from the cup, put it down and said with a smile, "This store has always been the same person, just a different person."

   Speaking of this, he looked at the young girl in the back kitchen, his eyes seemed to be looking at a figure that seemed to be similar, and the majestic and resolute lines on his face softened a lot.

   Soon, side dishes and three bowls of noodles came together.

  The ramen in this shop looks very simple and unpretentious, far from the tableware and appearance of those ramen restaurants in New Tokyo.

  But the noodles are quite chewy, inexplicably giving people a feeling of vigor and vitality, like the sea. No wonder Tokugawa Kuritor would say that this store tastes good.

  Kurito Tokugawa eats like a soldier. He sits on the bench with his legs apart, picks up side dishes and stuffs them into his mouth.

   Not long after, Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miri, who were sitting opposite him, moved their chopsticks a few times, and Tokugawa Kuritoro had already started to drink soup—this eating speed was second only to Xia Li among the people Higashinohara had met.

  Well, Xia Li should have finished the soup by now, and yelled at the boss for another bowl

   Soon, Tokugawa Kuritora also put down the soup bowl.

   Higashino originally thought that the other party would have another bowl, but Tokugawa Kuritora took out a rather delicate handkerchief from the navy blue windbreaker on his body, and gently wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth.

As if aware of Higashinohara's gaze, Tokugawa Kuritoro smiled and said, "The person who gave me this handkerchief once told me that you can't eat enough good things at once, otherwise you won't feel so good next time." After eating, what do you think of Dongye-kun?"

   "Taste lightly and stop, and the water will flow long." Higashinohara said.

  Kurito Tokugawa showed a helpless smile on his face, "I'm a rough person, but I don't understand these principles. It's just that the person who gave me this handkerchief is rather fierce. I can only listen to her for such trivial matters."

  Nishimaru Miri took a small sip of noodles, raised her head and asked half-understanding, "Father, who are you talking about?"

  Tokugawa Kuritor warmly reached out and touched Nishimaru Miri's little head, and said, "It's my wife, your mother, she passed away seven years ago."

   Speaking of this, Tokugawa Kuritor seems to have opened up the conversation:

"She is from Hokkaido and was born in a diver village. She opened a ramen restaurant here more than ten years ago. She has a bad temper. When I married your mother, many people called me 'Hokkaido son-in-law'. Haha, by the way, her cemetery is near the seaside, do you want to visit it with me after dinner?"

"Yeah!"

  Nishimaru Miri nodded vigorously.

   Higashinohara looked at Tokugawa Kurihu, who was lost in memory, with some curiosity on his face. What kind of woman in Hokkaido can let such a colorful tiger occupy the female body?

   At the same time, he was also a little puzzled. Tokugawa Kuritora was in his forties, and his wife should not be very old. Why did he pass away seven years ago? Are you sick?

  After eating ramen at the noodle restaurant, Higashinohara followed Tokugawa Kuritora and Nishimaru Miri and walked for a while before arriving at a cemetery in a village by the sea.

   Tokugawa Kuritora should come here every year. The three of them circled around the cold cemetery for a while, and soon stopped in front of a tombstone.

  There is a photo on the black tombstone, which shows a girl with short hair cut to the ears.

I have to say that the woman who can make Tokugawa Kuriko's dream come true and miss her so far doesn't seem amazing at first glance, but her quiet facial features are as clear as the blue sky and the sea. Beautiful feeling.

  Yui Ayase.

   This is the name on the tombstone.

  Tokugawa Kuritoro was silent for a moment and then said, "This is your mother's tomb. Ama is the daughter of the sea, so I held a sea burial for her according to her last wish."

  Miri Nishimaru turned her head and looked at Higashinohara behind her. Higashinohara nodded slightly. The little girl plucked up the courage to kneel in front of the tomb in a very sensible way, her face full of seriousness:

   "Mom! I am my father's daughter now. I will take good care of him when he is old in many years, and I will visit you often in the future."

  Hearing Nishimaru Miri's serious words, Tokugawa Kuritora's hard and majestic face loosened slightly, showing a relieved smile under the sea breeze.

  He gently pulled Nishimaru Miri up from the ground, and stroked her little head.

Higashinohara knew that Tokugawa Kuritora was usually busy with business, and it was rare for him to come to Hokkaido a few times a year, so the former Nishimaru Miri said with a small hand, "Mili-chan, go there for a while with big brother, and let my father and mother talk for a while. OK."

"Mmm Good."

  Miri Nishimaru nodded her head.

   Higashinohara led Nishimaru Miri away from the tombstone. The two of them didn't hang out in the cemetery, but waited at the exit.

   About ten minutes later, Tokugawa Kuritora walked out of the cemetery.

  At this time, several black cars arrived at the gate of the cemetery at some unknown time.

Tokugawa Kuritor stepped out with a smile on his face, lowered his head and said kindly to Miri Nishimaru, "Dad just received a call from Tokyo. There are still some things I need to deal with here in Hokkaido. I will send a car to take you and your classmates later." Confluence, I will play with you when I have time to deal with these things."

   "Yeah, Dad keeps his word! Miri knows." Nishimaru Miri nodded and said crisply, turned around and climbed into the black car next to her first.

   Higashinohara was about to follow, but the voice of Tokugawa Kuritor came from behind.

   "Higashino-kun, please wait." He looked at Higashinohara who stopped and turned around, and said with a smile, "I'm busy with work, so I'll trouble you to take care of it during this time, Miri."

   "It should be, Miri is my younger sister." Higashinohara said.

Tokugawa Kurihu smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't take advantage of Higashinohara. He just said, "By the way, to express my gratitude, I have a gift for you. It should be on the way to mail now. I guess it will take a few days." You can go to Hokkaido in just one day."

   "You are welcome." Higashinohara said.

   "I hope you will like it." Tokugawa Kuritora said with a smile.

  In front of the seaside cemetery.

  Miri Nishimaru waved goodbye to Tokugawa Kuritora on the car window, and made an appointment to see you soon.

   Soon, the black convoy separated down the **** and headed for two different roads.

   It’s the end of the month, please ask for a ticket~
