Hearing his words, not to mention Phoenix Academy Kaguya, even the surrounding students were dumbfounded.
At Takehara Minami Private Academy, although the Discipline Committee is also an independent student organization, it is actually affiliated with the student union. It occasionally does chores that no one wants to do to earn points for daily assessments. Even the event venue is borrowed from the student union. of.
No one thought that someone would refuse the invitation of the president of the Trinity Association for the sake of the Discipline Committee.
This guy... is a freak!
Phoenix-in Kaguya also didn't expect that in his smooth life from childhood to adulthood, he would rarely send out two invitations today, but both of them would be rejected.
She glanced at Higashinohara's armband,
After a moment of silence he said:
"Confidence and arrogance are both shackles to growth. No one can grow without resources and environment. I hope you...will not regret your choice today."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and bowed slightly to Ken Nakazaki to express her forgiveness for the inconvenience. She took Mari Haida and left the practical training room of Class F for the first year together.
The president still has me!
A face-to-face encounter was knocked over and fell to the ground. The humiliated Futaki Yu quickly got up, rubbed his chin after being slapped, and left quickly without saying any harsh words.
You use harsh words even if you have embarrassed someone.
Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
...
Same time, different place.
When the Metropolitan Police searched the office of Section 1, some people also felt very embarrassed.
"How are the families of the missing being comforted?" Masato Ishikawa, the section chief of the Search Section 1, asked his subordinates who came in to report, "Are there still no clues?"
The subordinate shook his head helplessly, "No, the only thing that can be found is that the missing persons participated in a protest that intercepted the convoy of the Celestial Nobles at Erchong Bridge in the afternoon. A few hours later, they mysteriously disappeared in Different places, without any witnesses, I doubt..."
"Swallow it, am I not clear?" Masato Ishikawa glared at his subordinates angrily.
After sitting in the position of head of the First Investigation Section for so many years, even if there is no direct evidence for some cases, he can make a close guess based on intuition.
But so what?
Not only does Congressman Hope have a respected position, he is also a guest of the royal family. He is a small section chief of the Metropolitan Police Department who is not even qualified to hold a conversation. How can he still conduct a house search?
Thinking that he would retire next year and whoever wanted to take over this mess would take over, Ishikawa Masato opened the drawer and took out the antihypertensive medicine, mixed it with the water in the cup and swallowed it in one gulp.
He took a breath and suddenly asked, "How is the investigation of Team Leader Nakagawa's suicide case going?"
Nakagawa Tsuru was one of the deputy section chiefs of the 1st Investigation Section and a strong contender for the next section chief. Unexpectedly, he suddenly committed suicide in his office two nights ago for unknown reasons.
It’s not that Wano has no high-ranking officials who commit suicide. In fact, there are quite a few pioneers in this field, but Nakagawa Tsuru’s words are really unreasonable.
Thinking of the connection between the other party and the Kimura family, Ishikawa Masato felt bald again. The Kimura family, which has wide connections in the police community, once sponsored Nakagawa Tsuru, who came from a poor family, to complete his studies. It can be said to be a huge investment in talents. The Kimura family Kimura Hakutaku is also the captain of the fifth division of the third group, so he must take this case seriously.
"The current investigation still favors another killing, basically ruling out the possibility of homicide." The subordinate shook his head.
"Nakagawa...has he handled any cases recently?" Ishikawa Masato's heart moved.
"No, Deputy Section Chief Nakagawa has only handled one case at the Kubetsu Town tram intersection in recent days. He concluded the case as suicide and hastily closed it..."
At this point, the subordinate was suddenly stunned for a moment, "Deputy Section Chief Nakagawa, could it be that you feel guilty because of this mistake..."
"Not that much." Masato Ishikawa shook his head.
If an official from the Metropolitan Police Department could commit suicide because of this guilt, then Masato Ishikawa would probably have died long ago without a complete body.
But there are currently no other clues. He can only instruct his subordinates to continue the investigation and try his best to give an explanation to the Kimura family.
Thinking of this, he sighed again.
Even if I can explain it to the Kimura family.
But how should we give an explanation to the general public?
These...
Damn God!
Masato Ishikawa felt a powerless anger in his heart.
...
After classes in the evening, Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria returned to the apartment happily.
Aragaki Satoru and Charlie were neither at home, so they probably went out to post small advertisements together. Higashinohara saw Aragaki Satoru printing a stack of small advertisements back from the convenience store in the morning.
It is worth mentioning that on the way home, Higashinohara always felt that someone was secretly watching them. He walked through several intersections but did not find anyone.
He guessed that Tokugawa Ritora sent someone to protect Nishimaru Miria.
After asking around when she got home, Nishimaru Miria, who was teasing three little kittens in the shack and giggling, raised her head and thought for a moment, recalling that Tokugawa Ritora had indeed sent someone to protect her.
Higashinohara didn't think much about it.
We went out to have a meal together in the evening, and after bidding farewell to Nishimaru Miriam, Higashinohara increased the training intensity in the next few days. Push-ups and squats were changed from 70 sets to 80 sets. It was no longer necessary to continue like this.
How long will it take to become a group of 100?
When the number becomes too large in the future, if you want to increase the intensity, you can only start by shortening the training time.
...
The days are fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, the weather is getting colder and colder, and November is coming to an end.
On the last day of the month, Higashinohara received a call from his hometown in Hokkaido.
The two simple fishermen parents in Hokkaido remitted him a sum of living expenses for the next month, 20,000 yen more than usual, and asked him to buy two pieces of warm clothes in Tokyo when the weather got cold.
During the call, there was a crisp little girl's voice on the other end - if I remember correctly, my sister Higashino Yukino is one year older than Nishimaru Miria, but has a very noisy personality, chirping and asking him when he will come home.
Threaten to go back and don't forget to bring her a gift.
Otherwise, come to New Tokyo and annoy him to death.
Higashinohara felt the concern of the parents he had never met before and the noise of his younger sister. In the past, he actually wanted to end this awkward phone call quickly every time, but this time he was unusually patient. In the end, he even cared about his "parents."
Let them pay attention to their health in winter.
The parents on the other end of the phone seemed stunned for a moment.
The original owner "Higashinohara" was ostracized and scorned when he came to New Tokyo because he was born in a small fishing village. He complained a lot about his parents. Higashinohara has been lukewarm since he inherited this body.
The sudden concern immediately made the parents on the other end feel happy.
While the mother was still hanging up the phone, she whispered to her father that the child was indeed different after coming to the big city, but her sister Higashihara Yukino was mumbling and thinking about her gift and never forgot to remind her.
Higashinohara hung up the phone helplessly.
My mood suddenly became very calm.
In this world... maybe I am not so lonely and helpless. There are people who care about me and need my care. Even in New Tokyo, there is a little guy who is very dependent on me.
Higher, faster and stronger, young man!
He cheered himself up in his heart.
Dong dong dong—!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Higashinohara guessed it was Charlie. The guy repaired the TV signal for free and found that there were no pay channels and he couldn't receive a few channels. In the past two days, he brought two bags of snacks to his place to watch the TV.
However, as soon as the door opened, what appeared at the door was a middle-aged man with short chestnut hair and a majestic and resolute face, followed by a man with an anxious face.
"Weili said she would come to see you in the afternoon. Is she here with you?"
