As night falls, the darkness gradually gives the city a bright and shimmering coat.
At this moment, the fifth squadron base.
As the door opened, Kosukawa Maho, who had just returned from Hokkaido, walked in from the outside with his head hanging down.
Seeing this, Edo Shosuke, who was on duty tonight, greeted him.
"Xiao Zuochuan Wuxi, you have worked hard on your mission."
"Uh-huh."
Kosukawa Maho muttered in response, and then swayed from side to side under the puzzled gaze of Edo Shosuke, walking step by step towards the base like a zombie.
However, before she had gone far, a careless voice came from the other end of the corridor.
"Youyouyouyou, isn't this idiot little Zuo Chuan? We haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become so haggard?"
Nohara Rintaro took the cigarette butt out of his mouth and looked thoughtful.
"Let me guess, the mission must have failed again, so you came back to the captain to help you clean up the mess, right?"

"Well, if you want to be more open-minded, you have already failed so many times, so you don't care about one more time, right?"
Regarding his provocative words, Kosukawa Maho seemed not to have heard him and passed by him with his head lowered.
Well?
After noticing this situation, the cheerful smile on Nohara Rintaro's face couldn't help but froze.
He turned to look at the other person's leaving figure, with unconcealable surprise in his eyes.
Are you... being ignored?
What's going on? Obviously, if I just casually call him "idiot", Maho Saukawa will immediately jump over to him, as if he wants to fight him to the death.
But looking at the other party's current state, he must have suffered a very serious mental blow, to the point where he has no response to the idiot's level of stimulation.
However, given Maho Saukawa's mental capacity, a simple mission failure should not depress her to this extent...
Thinking of this, Nohara Rintaro's eyebrows suddenly raised, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
Originally, the work content of the fifth division was very monotonous, and teasing Xiao Zuochuan after work was one of his few activities to relieve stress.
If even this bit of fun is taken away, wouldn't all that be left be boring and dull daily life?
No, we must hurry up and get the other party to cheer up!
After making up his mind, Nohara Rintaro immediately put out the unburned cigarette butt in his hand and trotted to follow.
He stretched out his hand to stop the opponent, summoned a ghost imp made of smoke, and waved to the opponent with a smile.
"Hey, little Zuochuan, don't worry about it. I'll give you the whole job. Come on, Yanyanluo, grab a lighter!"
"Not interested? Then I'll tell you a joke. Ahem, listen up. This is a joke that even monkeys will laugh out loud. By the way, there used to be..."
However, Xiao Sukawa Maho was completely indifferent to this. He just walked around him and continued to walk to his room.
It has no effect...
Then, the only choice is to change tactics.
Seeing this, Nohara Rintaro helplessly stretched out his hand to disperse the smoke, changed his tone, and spoke seriously.
"I say, little Zuochuan, don't dwell on things like this alone in your mind. It will only make you sink deeper and deeper."
"If you have any worries, you can discuss it with me. I am your senior after all, and it is one of my responsibilities to share your worries with your juniors..."
"senior?"
Hearing this word, Xiao Sukawa Maho's footsteps suddenly stopped and seemed to be touched.
Sure enough, playing the emotional card is more effective!
Seeing this, Nohara Rintaro couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart and boasted.
"That's right, no matter what happens, as long as there are seniors, I--"
ever!
It was as if the invisible wind suddenly turned into a sharp blade, and a cold wave of physical coldness passed across his cheek fiercely.
For a moment, Nohara Rintaro couldn't help being stunned, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat.
He lowered his head to look at the cold blade resting on his neck, and then looked up at the little Sagawa Maho who had approached him at some point, holding a ninja sword. For a moment, his eyes could not help but be filled with shock.
Okay, what a fast knife...
Both his moves and his spiritual power have reached an astonishing level.
Before he had time to react, it had already reached his neck, and it was a blow like a thunderous explosion.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had no killing intent, then I might have been seriously injured even if I was lucky enough to survive.
To be able to wield such a decisive and decisive sword, is the person in front of him really that idiot Xiao Zuochuan?
At this moment, holding the ninja sword in his hand, Kosukawa Maho raised his head and stared at Rintaro Nohara in front of him with wide eyes, and there was obvious anger in his tone.
"You mean...Senior?"
"Nohara, let me ask you, if the senior you are talking about is a person who is of no use at all and will only cause trouble to the juniors, who will have to take care of them from time to time..."
"Is it necessary for such a senior to exist? Huh?"
Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this question a bit too bad? Does the other party plan to kill his senior?
When the opponent held a knife to his neck, Nohara Rintaro couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Making a decisive decision, he immediately gave the opponent a French military salute and raised his hands to show weakness.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Zuochuan, I surrender, you put down the knife first..."
Suddenly, the tip of his nose couldn't help but twitch, and he smelled an all-too-familiar smell from the other party.
Such a pungent smell...it's alcohol!
After noticing this and looking at the unnatural blush remaining on the other party's pretty face, Nohara Rintaro suddenly realized something and couldn't help but ask.
"I said Xiao Zuochuan, have you... been drinking?"
"Hiccup...hiccup, I just drank a little bit, no...it doesn't matter."
Kosukawa Maho said intermittently while burping from wine.
"Nohara, tell me, why on earth are there seniors as weak as me?"
"Whether I went to Hokkaido this time or Okinawa last time, I couldn't help at all. Instead, I kept holding them back..."
"Obviously I want to express myself in front of the juniors I like, but I have never succeeded. I just keep failing. Every time, even though I have tried very hard, it has no effect at all... ."
Speaking of this, Xiao Zuokawa Maho couldn't help but sigh melancholy and said quietly.
"Tell me, am I cursed by something?"
"Huh? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Were you moved by my words?"
She patted Nohara Rintaro's face with the ninja sword in her hand and asked with some confusion.
How dare I move in this situation...
At this moment, Nohara Rintaro still maintained a posture of surrender, with the stiff muscles on his face forcing a smile, and asked cautiously.
"You...what do you want me to say?"
"Hiccup...hiccup, that's it. How do you think I can become a competent senior?"
Kosukawa Maho closed one eye and began to challenge to use a ninja sword to shave off the stubble on Nohara Rintaro's chin.
For a moment, wherever the blade passed, brown beards separated from Nohara Rintaro's chin like weeds sprayed with herbicide.
Feeling the sharp blade moving freely against his cheek, Nohara Rintaro couldn't help but feel a wave of horror, and quickly answered.
"In short, since you think you are weak, just become stronger, right?"
"Get stronger?"
Xiao Zuokawa Maho was stunned for a moment, then he accelerated the frequency of harvesting the opponent's stubble and said angrily.
"Do you still need to talk about such a thing? If it were so easy to do, I would have done it a long time ago, but it cannot be completed in a day or two. It requires a lot of time and hard work."
"Or, Nohara, is there any way you can make me stronger right away?"
"This...this..."
Nohara Rintaro couldn't help being speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said quickly.
"By the way, I think the captain will be able to do something about it, right?"
"With the captain's terrifying strength, as long as you can get her guidance, you must be able to make rapid progress even as a little Zuochuan, right?"
"team leader?"
Xiao Zuokawa Maho was startled, and then a light of joy lit up in his eyes.
"Yes, how could I forget the captain!"
After trying three times, she finally succeeded in putting the ninja sword back into its sheath, then raised her head and asked.
"Nohara, captain, where is she now?"
"In the training room, the captain is giving special training to the kid named No. 8."
"Really? Then I'll go find her now."
Kosukawa Maho waved to him excitedly.
"Thanks, Nohara, I didn't expect you to come in handy occasionally."
Seeing the other party's figure leaving in a hurry, Nohara Rintaro couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and covered his neck with fear.
Phew, just a little bit, the back of the neck is no longer safe.
but......
He then reached out his hand and repeatedly rubbed his long-lost smooth chin.
For a moment, a bit of surprise could not help but appear in his eyes.
