Chapter 359: The Murder in Shikatori Town, The Spiritual World of Orange Aozaki (Part 2)
When Aozaki Aoko woke up again, the lights were already on outside. She stared blankly at the deep night sky outside the window. Among the lead-colored clouds, a star was trying its best to emit an insignificant light.
"hiss--"
Her head seemed to have been split open with an axe. Aozaki Aoko subconsciously took in a breath of cold air. Not only her head, but her entire body seemed to have lost contact with her soul, which was unexpectedly heavy.
She tried to swallow a mouthful of saliva to moisten her thirsty throat, but it felt like swallowing a razor blade, but she finally managed to swallow it.
"You're awake and you look fine."
A cup of warm black tea with rising steam was handed to her. Aozaki Aoko was about to subconsciously thank her, but she saw a gloating smile on Mikael's face.
【Which of your eyes can see that I look pretty good?!】
Roaring in her heart, she hesitated slightly, took the warm black tea, and then took a sip. As the warm liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach, her headache unexpectedly eased a lot.
Even my body has become more flexible, without the feeling of stagnation and heaviness.
[But this taste...is it really black tea?]
"I added some sugar cubes. They say sweetness can make people feel happy."
As if he knew what Aozaki Aoko was thinking, Mikael said with a smile. They say you don't hit the smiling person, but why is the smile on his face so annoying?
Aozaki Aoko shook her head gently to expel these thoughts from her mind, and then struggled to get up from the bed, but soon she discovered that she was actually wearing the same pajamas from before.
"It wasn't me, Youzhu changed it for you."
Seemingly seeing what Aozaki Aoko was thinking again, Mikael explained.
"How do you know what I'm thinking?"
After trying hard to suppress the anger rising again in her heart, Aozaki Aoko pretended to be casual and asked.
[Could it be mind-reading magic?]
"Aozaki-san, all your thoughts are written on your face. You don't need mind-reading magic at all."
Mikael couldn't help but sigh. Compared with the old foxes he had seen before, Aozaki Aoko was just an innocent little white rabbit, and even Yuju from Kuonji Temple next door was the same.
"call--"
Aozaki Aoko took a deep breath, and then showed a charming smile. Mikael smelled the danger and leaned back suddenly, only to see his white fist waved in front of his eyes.
Apparently her swing was in vain, and she fell off the bed. However, the ground was covered with soft carpet, so she only felt a slight pain.
"I feel relieved to see you so energetic."
Mikael walked toward the door, stopped when he was about to leave, and showed a devilish smile, "Then it's okay to double the training volume tomorrow."
………
At this time, Kuonji Yuju was thinking about what to eat tonight. She looked at the several cards in front of her and hesitated which restaurant to call for ordering food.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind, picked up the receiver, and quickly pressed a series of numbers.
Obviously, for the shopkeepers there, Kuonji Yuju and Aozaki Aoko are already old acquaintances, and they even remember their tastes clearly.
"Or two portions of fried tofu udon noodles?"
The boss's vague voice came from the receiver, and Kuonji Yuju subconsciously said "hmm", but soon thought of something.
"Add another portion of fried tofu udon."
………
The waiting time for the takeout was long, and it can be described as a second like a year, especially when I was so hungry. However, amidst everyone's eager gaze, the subtle sound of bicycles finally came from outside the bungalow.
But soon an exclamation broke the calm outside, and without waiting for too long, the doorbell of the bungalow rang.
"Sorry, sorry..."
The man wearing a teddy bear coat bowed deeply and apologized sincerely. Just by the rich aroma of fried tofu udon noodles on his body, Mikael could imagine what happened and even write a few words.
A short essay of ten thousand words.
There is a piece of frozen ground on the road outside. It seems that a water pipe in a certain house burst due to freezing in the winter. Although the water pipe was repaired in time, the wet ground is not so easy to dry and naturally condenses into ice at night.
The unlucky delivery boy didn't notice the icy ground and fell over. The fried tofu udon noodles that everyone was looking forward to had spilled all over the floor.
Kuonji Yuju raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she didn't say anything, she was still feeling very unhappy at this moment, but her face was still expressionless.
Seeing the calmness on Kuuanji Yuju's face, the delivery boy became more and more frightened. He couldn't help but apologize again and again, and his head almost dropped to the ground.
Aozaki Aoko also came up. She had just climbed out of bed and her stomach was growling with hunger. However, seeing such a sincere apology, she couldn't say anything too harsh, so she could only sigh softly and rub her hands.
Rub your empty belly.
It's just that I seem to have heard this outsider's voice somewhere...
"So this is Aozaki-san's home?"
I saw that the outside staff took off the cute stuffed bear head covering, revealing a simple and indifferent face. Of course Aozaki Aoko has seen this face before, and it is quite familiar. After all, he is one of the two transfer students. In order to
Teacher Yamashiro also ruined his wonderful holiday.
"Hey - does Mikael-san live here too?"
Jingxi Sojuro looked in the direction of Mikael with a little surprise. Although he had just transferred to another school, his good-natured character made many classmates have a good impression of him, and he integrated perfectly into the new class.
Through chatting with his new friends, he naturally also heard about the rumored boyfriend of the Devil Guild President. Although everyone said it clearly, he still didn't quite believe it, until this moment...
"Okay, classmate Jingxi, you can leave now. If you dare to speak out, I will call the store manager and tell the store manager that you spilled the takeaway."
Seeing the expression on Shizuki Sojuro's face, Aozaki Aoko immediately knew what he was thinking. Although he was smiling, he looked like "If you dare to tell me, I will kill you and silence you."
a feeling.
And as the student council president, she has information about all students. Shizuki Sojuro is in a difficult financial situation and works many jobs. If he tells the store manager that he spilled it outside, his salary will definitely be deducted.
After closing the door impatiently, Aozaki Aoko felt resentful eyes staring at her from behind. She slowly turned around and saw the calm face of Kuonji Yuju.
"Haha... Youzhu... Hahaha..."
Aozaki Aoko let out a dry laugh, and then scratched her head in embarrassment. Although her face was expressionless, after two years of getting along day and night, she could still detect the subtle changes in Kuonji Yuju's expression in different moods.
For example, the current Kuonji Yuju is very dangerous.
"Okay, I'll order the takeout tonight."
Kuonji Yuju's expression did not change at all.
"I'll order tomorrow's takeout too."
Aozaki Aoko sighed softly, feeling heartbroken over the money she was about to spend.
