When the origami giraffe was completed, a seed took root and sprouted in Maiko Haruyama's heart. She observed the giraffe made by her own hands, and brought life to the origami in her hands with her sincerity.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her expression and was a little curious, "Why does Maiko-chan like giraffes?" After spending a short time together, this innocent and pure child left an excellent impression on him.

Compared to the two children in his own family, Maiko Haruyama made Shinichi Iwahashi feel like he was an "elder".

"Actually, I like Kirin-san..."

After a little hesitation, Maiko Haruyama confided her secret to Iwahashi Shinichi. Iwahashi Shinichi told her how to fold a giraffe and why he liked giraffes, as if she had exchanged a secret with him.

Thinking of this, Maiko Haruyama told him: "My mother and I both like DREAMS E TRUE...Maiko's favorite band is KIRIN-san."

"Kirin-san gave me an origami giraffe."

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard what Haruyama Maiko said. In his mind, he remembered a letter from Miwa-chan that Miwa-chan had given to him a few years ago. He could tell at a glance that it was a letter from an audience written by a child.

Giraffe Man, who has few fans, that child is probably his most loyal supporter. He never thought that he would see her in this way.

It was Maiko Haruyama’s non-stop writing over the past few years and her perseverance to write letters regardless of whether she received a reply or not that created such a small miracle. In other words, it was Maiko Haruyama’s pure heart that created this small miracle.

A small miracle.

The more you pursue your unattainable dream, the more sincere you become.

However, most people would not do such a stupid thing.

The child sent one letter after another, and in the most wonderful way, got the evidence that Shinichi Iwahashi was the Giraffe Man.

However, this child with evidence only had pure joy shining on his face. Maiko Haruyama said to Shinichi Iwahashi: "Iwahashi-san, you are as gentle as Kirin-san."

To Maiko Haruyama, it doesn't matter whether Iwahashi Shinichi is a giraffe man or not.

Maiko Haruyama carries a key that can unlock the secret, and holds the most irrefutable evidence, but she herself has no idea about it. When saying goodbye, she reluctantly said to Utada Hikaru, "Goodbye, Hikaru.

."

The two children high-fived each other. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Maiko Haruyama and then at Hikari Utada. The precocious girl who lived in her own home said goodbye to the mother and daughter of the Haruyama family. She came back to her senses and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, revealing

A small smile.

Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly asked her: "When Maiko-chan said she likes giraffes, she wasn't talking about the animal giraffe, right?"

Utada Hikaru blinked, "I never said that Maiko-chan likes giraffes."

Indeed, they only said that the topic they were talking about was "giraffes". Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing when he saw her natural expression, as if he had been tricked by her.

However, when Utada Hikaru answered him like this, he didn't think too much. It was a kind of unintentional comment.

Utada Hikaru asked him in turn: "Does Iwahashi-san know who Kirin-san is?"

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and suggested: "Next time, how about inviting DREAMS E TRUE to your home for dinner?"

Utada Hikaru neither answered "yes" nor "no". After thinking about it, he said: "Maiko-chan has a very cute personality."

Iwahashi Shin nodded, "He is indeed a good boy." He said after a pause, "Looking at you getting along with her, I can imagine how you usually get along with your friends."

Utada Hikaru denied: "I have more than one face."

A ten-year-old girl who can say such a thing can be regarded as a genius in another sense. Iwahashi Shinichi sighed softly. He needs to accept the fact that girls living at home are not fuel-efficient lamps.

.

However, Hamasaki Ayumi did not follow today.

Shinichi Iwahashi was healed by Maiko Haruyama, and Hikaru Utada suddenly asked another question: "Iwahashi-san, is it really good to know how to fold giraffe origami?"

"Um?"

Utada Hikari asked and answered himself: "If you know how to fold a giraffe, don't you know that the giraffe is just an origami?" When watching Maiko Haruyama concentrate on learning how to fold a giraffe, Utada Hikaru's spontaneous compassion was like

It comes from this confusion.

Iwahashi Shinichi was a little confused by her. After thinking about it, he asked her: "So, you don't want to know how to fold the origami bear?"

Utada Hikaru nodded: "I don't know how the bear was made, but the bear has always been alive."

This child is extremely smart and precocious.

Iwahashi Shinichi understood what Utada Hikari wanted to express and answered her: "Whether a giraffe is just an origami depends on the intention of the person who makes the origami. If the intention does not change, the giraffe will always be alive."

Utada Hikari showed an undecided expression, but Shinichi Iwahashi said nothing more.

…

Ayumi Hamasaki lost track of time in the disco. When he realized that he should go back, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. For the disco that played every night, this time had actually just begun.

Tonight, their group saw neither Tetsuya Komuro nor Shinichi Iwahashi at the disco.

When leaving, Ayako teased her sarcastically in front of others: "Everyone, Ayu-chan's gate time has come, so you have to hurry home and sneak in through the back door quietly."

"Really? Ayu's family is so strict?" The boy who was called by Ayako showed an exaggerated expression.

Ayumi Hamasaki didn't react at all, just smiled and said goodbye to Ayako: "Then I'll go back."

No one present could figure out why this girl who came to Tokyo from the countryside of Fukuoka lived such a life. When Ayako said to others, "Ayu-chan is so mysterious..." there was a lot of joking in her tone.

As soon as he left his companions, Hamasaki seemed to have left the past behind, his mind and nerves cooling down, as if the person lingering on the dance floor just now was not him, but another person.

She walked quickly to the station.

At this time, both Iwahashi-san and Akina-san should have gone home. After moving into Iwahashi's house, this is the first time Hamasaki has gone back so late. The closer I get to Iwahashi's house, the excitement and anxiety of returning home late,

The more intense it becomes.

Today, Iwahashi-san took Xiaoguang to meet the child who sent the letter.

When she went out in the morning, Hamasaki showed no interest in the child who sent the letter. However, when she began to imagine what Shinichi Iwahashi would say to the child and what impression the child would leave on Shinichi Iwahashi,

Suddenly I started to feel anxious again.

With this thought in mind, I had already arrived near Iwahashi's house.
