Chapter 66: Zero: Bury the same period Song: Beat up the same period...
Hasegawa Yu stuffed the unopened medical kit back under the coffee table.
Sitting on the other end of the sofa, Matsuda Jinpei retracted his gaze from behind his sunglasses, his cyan eyes averting uncomfortably. "Hagiri told me everything."
Hasegawa Yu trusted Hagiwara Kenji to convey the story clearly. Seeing the black-haired senior's attitude, he hesitated again. "I don't think I have anything to add?"
The face of the senior with black curly hair could not be seen clearly. With the addition of the black mask, sunglasses and scarf, even the hair was stained with an extremely aura of gangsters. He responded with a high-quality villain without saying a word.
Like a gang boss who demands his poor subordinates to guess his intentions from his unchanging body language.
Hasegawa Yu, who was not a subordinate, was naturally not afraid of this at all. He followed the normal human process of entertaining guests and brought out a plate of individually packaged low-calorie snacks.
Like the medical kit, it was also prepared by a blond senior.
Jinpei Matsuda didn't move, and felt that it was as hateful as the medical kit just now - it was silently guiding him to take off his mask!
Of course, we are not wrong to criticize the fragile Xiao and Xiaoyou!
Thinking back to all the things he had done to the young man in the past, the tips of Matsuda Jinpei's ears, hidden under his hair, began to heat up.
Some people call people by nicknames that they would rather just call them in their hearts, but they have to say them out loud and won’t listen to anyone’s rejection!
"Senior, do you want to watch TV?"
Matsuda Jinpei, who hadn't even grasped the question, simply replied, "Yeah."
The familiar background sound of the TV rang out, pulling him back from his state of shame in time.
What is being broadcast on TV is an international robot assembly competition.
Jinpei Matsuda suddenly thought of the villa he was in. It seemed that something was wrong with it, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing wrong with it.
I originally thought that Hagi hesitated because Xiaoyou didn't want to tell him the address, but unexpectedly...
He understood what the other people had hidden from him that night at the clinic!
Hahahahaha! ×N
Matsuda Jinpei suddenly stood up. Compared to the blond bastard, what he had done was nothing.
Thanks to Hagi, thanks to Xiaoyou, thanks to the organization, thanks in general.
Luckily the blond bastard wasn't around much when he did those things.
He had no dark history that was witnessed by the blond bastard!
But look at this villa, it’s really... so big.
"Xiaoyou."
He tried to suppress the curve of his lips again and again, but then he remembered he was wearing a mask and let it rise wildly, as if to give up. "Do you like watching this show too?"
"It's okay." Hasegawa Yu said honestly, his hands resting on his chins as he stared at the TV screen. "I'm more interested in the competition scene after they finish the puzzle."
I have no idea about the assembly process.
Upon hearing this, Jinpei Matsuda leaned over, took the remote control from the young man, and changed the channel on his own initiative.
The TV switched through several channels before finally stopping at a live talent show.
"Let's watch other shows. That assembly competition is a rerun. I've seen it, and the results won't be announced until next week before the competition begins."
After hearing this, Hasegawa Yu secretly glanced at the man. The senior who restored the memory of the original world was really different.
He happily agreed, "Okay~"
"I'm sorry for everything I've done to Xiaoyou, not just that night at the apartment building."
Amidst the background music of an unknown group's performance, Matsuda Jinpei, who had finally calmed down from the shocking news that "the top-ranked classmate in the police academy was engaging in captivity play," steered the conversation back to the main topic, "If you still mind, Xiaoyou, I'll accommodate your wishes."
"Didn't Senior send an apology gift?"
Hasegawa Yu pointed at the ten-centimeter-long Wall-E on the coffee table and said, "Hmm... could you change the robot's image? I want it to look like Garfield."
Noah's Ark: [! ]
Matsuda Jinpei simply agreed, "Sure, but it will probably take a few days for it to be delivered."
"It's okay. I'll go get some image reference for you to see~" Hasegawa Yu immediately stood up, "Please wait a moment, Senior."
While waiting, Matsuda Jinpei was not idle either. He folded his arms across his chest and strolled around the living room like the owner of the villa, more like the owner himself.
Wow, the traces are handled so cleanly.
How come he recovered his memory later than the blond bastard? Matsuda Jinpei sighed.
Hagi also doesn't know how to use a camera to record the beautiful moments of life.
So many good things missed!
When Hasegawa Yu returned to the living room holding the Garfield doll, he saw his black curly-haired senior sighing in front of a window.
It’s a sigh, the mask really blocks too many expressions.
Hasegawa Yu was puzzled, but considerately didn't ask any questions and just handed over the doll in his hand, "Garfield wants this~"
Taking the doll, Matsuda Jinpei looked it over in his hands, taking note of all its features, "Xiaoyou likes dolls?"
Hasegawa Yu patted the doll's head and said, "Ararat is special."
Without commenting on the name, Matsuda Jinpei seemed to be lost in thought, and revised the design in his mind.
"By the way, this is for Xiaoyou too." He took out two tickets from his shirt pocket.
"A concert attended by Akiba Reiko?" Hasegawa Yu blinked when he heard about this female singer for the first time.
It seems that this is only in this world.
"I heard from Hagi that the concert will feature an organ played by Bach, as well as a Stradivarius, and the sound quality is fantastic."
Seeing the orange-haired young man's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Matsuda Jinpei almost forgot the complicated name of the piano. He paused for a moment before continuing, "It's also an apology gift."
It's just an apology for Plan B.
Matsuda Jinhei originally planned to give only a robot as a gift - he decided to give this after hearing that Hasegawa Yu liked small ornaments with unique shapes.
However, his young friend disagreed, "How can you be sure that the uniqueness you see is the uniqueness Yu-chan likes?"
"If you want to be absolutely sure, something related to music is the best choice."
Hagiwara Kenji stuffed the concert ticket into the arms of curly-haired young boy, "Wear sunglasses when you want to sleep, keep a normal face when you don't understand, and be a tool that provides emotional value."
"If Kenji-chan hadn't had an organizational mission on the day of the concert, I wouldn't have given it to Jinpei-chan."
Pulling his attention away from his memories, Matsuda Jinpei observed the young man's expression behind his sunglasses.
Well, it’s worthy of being called Hagi, the big star really likes it.
"Thank you, Matsuda-senpai, and thank Kenji-nii for me~" Hasegawa Yu looked at the concert time, which was five days later.
"I will definitely go!" He then extended an invitation, "Is Senior or Yan Er brother free that day? Can we go together?"
Otherwise a ticket will be wasted.
"Hagi has a mission, I... will accompany you." Matsuda Jinpei resisted the urge to touch his face.
After five days, thanks to the medicine provided by the organization, his face will probably be almost healed.
"Great!" Hasegawa Yu put the ticket away, his whole body filled with joy.
"Have we never formally introduced ourselves since we met?"
They learned each other's names from others.
Matsuda Jinpei stared at the excited young man for a few seconds, then extended his hand and said, "Let's get acquainted again. I'm Jinpei Matsuda, a bomb disposal officer from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Squad of the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Department."
"Oh! What a cool prefix introduction!"
The cool bomb disposal police once again enter the high-quality villain silence.
"Hehe~" Hasegawa Yu shook his hand, "Hello, senior, I'm Hasegawa Yu, a professional idol who debuted for ten years, loves music very much, and is about to retire."
Under the indoor constant temperature system, I don’t know if it’s because the senior is too hot, but even his palms are warm.
Hasegawa Yu shook hands politely and then let go of her hand, but the warm touch remained in his palm.
Matsuda Jinpei, feeling as if he were holding a piece of cool jade, frowned slightly. "Should we raise the temperature a bit?"
"Don't worry, senior. My physique is naturally like this." Hasegawa Yu waved his hand.
If it’s any higher, it will become like boiling fish in warm water!
After confirming that the other party was not trying to show off, Matsuda Jinpei said nothing more.
The black curly-haired man put one hand on the back of his neck, tilted his head, and glanced at the young man with only the corner of his eye, as if casually saying:
"Now that we've gotten to know each other again, shouldn't we change our address?"
"Brother Jinping~" Hasegawa Yu changed his words without hesitation and gave him a bright smile, "I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Matsuda Jinpei put the hand on the back of his neck into his pocket and said calmly, "...Yeah."
At this moment, a rustling sound came from the TV, and flakes of snow flashed across the screen, blurring the picture of the talent show.
"Wait!" Hasegawa Yu immediately rushed forward, his face full of eagerness, "I can do this!"
Seeing this, Matsuda Jinpei, who was about to go forward to check, stopped and raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.
Under his gaze, the orange-haired young man raised his hand and slammed it hard at the TV, "Ha!"
Jinpei Matsuda's brows jumped.
The snow on the TV screen also jumped and returned to normal.
"Okay." Hasegawa Yu put his hands on his hips and nodded with satisfaction.
This is human magic that he learned from his sister who was a translator and taught him Chinese.
Amazing human magic!
“…”
Matsuda Jinpei retracted his earlier hope, feeling helpless. "This method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Are there any repair tools in the villa? Let me take a look."
What quality TV did the blond bastard buy.
"It seems there is one in the utility room." Hasegawa Yu was not sure.
So the two of them went to the utility room together. Matsuda Jinpei asked someone to wait outside the door while he went in to look for it.
Since the residents of the villa had not been living there for long, there was not much in the utility room except for a few stacked boxes.
Jinpei Matsuda saw the toolbox he was looking for at a glance, checked that all the tools inside were complete, and prepared to leave.
Thinking about the "wrong" villa where he couldn't find any problems, he casually rummaged through the box in the corner without any hope.
After seeing what was inside, Matsuda Jinpei revealed an amused expression under his mask, "Wow!"
Outside the door, the waiting Hasegawa Yu heard a "clicking" sound coming from the utility room, and even a flash of light came out from the half-open door.
"?"
He leaned forward and asked, "Brother Zhenping, you found...what are you doing?"
Holding his phone, taking photos of the box from various angles, Matsuda Jinpei cleared his throat, trying to sound serious. "The crime scene needs to be preserved and photographed."
Hasegawa Yu: “???”
"Inside the box is..."
"Nothing."
Matsuda Jinpei didn't really want the young man to see the pile of adult products that needed to be graded and blurred, so he stepped forward to block his view of the box. "I was just taking pictures for fun... cough."
A hint of a suppressed smile leaked out from under the black curly-haired man's mask.
"Really?" Hasegawa Yuu asked suspiciously.
After staying in the utility room for a while, feeling a little bored, Matsuda Jinpei took off his scarf and said, "I found the toolbox. Let's go and fix the TV first."
Hasegawa Yu looked at him, then at the box behind him, "Okay."
Humph, wait until the senior goes back and comes to see it himself.
Returning to the living room with excitement, Matsuda Jinpei quickly dismantled the TV and scattered it all over the floor. "Some parts are cracked..."
Same with the handcuffs.
After learning the reason, Hasegawa Yu remained silent.
Ah, the sonic attack that night must have affected the TV.
Fortunately, the senior with black curly hair didn't seem curious about how the cracks occurred and focused on repairing the TV.
“Ding Dong——”
"I'll go open the door!" Hasegawa Yuteng, who was watching with a guilty conscience, stood up and ran to the door.
"Xiaoyou."
Fūya Ling appeared outside the door carrying a bunch of fresh ingredients. "I thought the ingredients in your refrigerator were almost gone, so I bought you some more."
"Thank you, Brother Zero." Hasegawa Yu said thank you but did not move away.
Furuya Rei narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and asked, "Shall I help Xiaoyou put them in the refrigerator?"
Hasegawa Yu held onto the door, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Did something happen?"
Thinking that Brother Zero was now a very easygoing person, Hasegawa Yu said cautiously, "Brother Jinpei is here too."
He remembered that Brother Ling and he had a very bad relationship!
"Oh, Granvit." When he heard the name, Fūya Ling's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
The curly-haired bastard also regained his memory.
"It's okay, I don't mind his presence."
Hasegawa Yu looked at the blond senior's expression again and moved away.
Matsuda Jinpei, who had heard the noise at the door early in the morning, sat cross-legged on the floor, tossing the tools in his hands up and down, and greeted the people who came in.
"Hey, Councillor Furuya, long time no see. I hope you are well."
"I always forgot to mention this before. When you become rich, please take us 'newcomers' with you."
"Glenwit."
Furiya Rei looked at the scattered TV parts and the curly hair that covered her face tightly, ignoring his words and said with a look of concern:
"Aren't you hot? The villa has a constant temperature system. Take off your sunglasses and mask."
If you don't take it off even though your forehead is sweating, there must be something fishy going on.
"I'd love to."
Matsuda Jinpei tapped the ground in front of him with the tools in his hand and without blinking, he put the blame for the TV problem on the blond-haired classmate. "But you, after renovating the villa, are you out of money? Why don't you buy a better TV?"
What did the curly-haired bastard discover?
Fūya Rei frantically recalled the things in the villa. He had clearly cleared them out...
etc.
After finding a way to hide the 18X unspeakable box from Hagiwara that day, I accidentally deduced Xiaoyou's identity as a mermaid. My brain was in a state of panic, and I was busy repairing the door and the constant temperature system. I also had to rush to deal with the cameras installed in every corner of the villa, and a series of other things...
The box in the utility room, completely forgotten!
The smile on Rei Furuya's face froze.
Sensing the hint on his face, Matsuda Jinpei said meaningfully, "Did Bourbon think of something?"
The thing I least wanted to happen still happened.
Fūya Rei stared at the curly-haired girl with a serious look.
The New Year is coming. Wash and bury the same period of your life whose secrets were exposed, and you will have a good same period of your life next year!
"I thought of something."
Fūya Rei managed his expression in the blink of an eye and spoke slowly, "My subordinates reported to me that Granwit seems to have been used as someone's substitute?"
Matsuda Jinpei, who had long forgotten what he had said, felt the wound at the corner of his mouth begin to hurt again.
Hasegawa Yu, who was standing by, was getting nervous, and pricked up his ears quietly after hearing this.
What, a substitute?
There was definitely something wrong with that hedgehog-haired police officer, but it turned out to be the blond bastard’s!
Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth and said, "I think this is a misunderstanding."
"That's right." Relying on the fact that Matsuda would not take out the dirty things in front of the young man, Fūya Rei, who had become desensitized and more likely thick-skinned, unexpectedly agreed with him.
"After all, plots like 'my body double turns out to be me' probably only appear in novels and TV dramas."
Jinpei Matsuda's eyes behind his sunglasses fell on the blond-haired girl.
My fists are itching, this long-lost expression of wanting a beating.
New Year is coming. Put the colleague you haven’t beaten for a long time in a sack and give him a good beating. Then you can get a good colleague next time!
Hasegawa Yu looked around and felt like sighing.
The two seniors seemed so reliable when they were apart, but why did they become so...
Childish. The orange-haired young man muttered to himself.
"Brother Ling, aren't you going to put the ingredients in the refrigerator?"
"Brother Zhenping, do you need to replace parts of the TV?"
Hasegawa Yu was busy separating the two.
"Xiaoyou, it's almost time for dinner. Ask Granvert if he wants to stay for dinner."
Furuya Reiichi chopped the chopping board with his kitchen knife. "I'm free today. I'll take care of dinner."
Hasegawa Yu obediently acted as a temporary mouthpiece between the adjacent kitchen and living room.
"Is Bourbon going to poison the food?"
Hearing the young man's retort, "I can eat it too," Matsuda paused and said, "No, I can't afford his cooking."
He will never take off his mask!
"Xiaoyou, tell Bourbon to be careful not to let anything dirty fall into the pot and affect the taste."
Hearing what Hasegawa Yu said, Furuya Ling sneered silently, "Tell him that people who don't go into the kitchen shouldn't worry so much."
Matsuda Jinpei: "Why, diners who don't eat at your 'restaurant' can't care about food safety?"
Hasegawa Yu, who was running back and forth, turned his foot and took out a plush potted plant in the shape of a sunflower with twisted branches and leaves and playing a saxophone and wearing sunglasses and a gold chain from under the coffee table.
He held up the potted plant and said in Doraemon's voice, "Clang clang—speak like a human, sunflower!"
Furuya Rei: "What is that?"
The sunflower twisted its body, and colorful lights flashed under its petals. The electronic voice repeated his words in a strange tone, "What is it?"
Jianggu Ling: "..."
"So Xiaoyou likes this kind of weird ornament?" Matsuda Jinpei's eyes turned into crescent eyes under his sunglasses.
Little Wall-E is much more beautiful than this sunflower!
"So you like this kind of weird ornament?" Sunflower's tone sounded very sarcastic.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
"What's so strange about that?"
Hasegawa Yu retorted, "It's super popular on TikTok. This look isn't sold in Japan yet. It came via international express. I waited almost half a month!"
The two pricked up their ears.
Sunflower fell into a high-quality silence.
Two people: Why don’t you learn this sentence?
In any case, Hasegawa's megaphone successfully lost its job after learning to speak to Sunflower.
Although Sunflower was not hired.
After repairing the TV, with the idea that there is still a long way to go, Matsuda Jinpei decided to heal the injury on his face and fight again!
The mask really affected his performance.
Furuya Rei, who had only intended to make dinner for two from the beginning, didn't comment on his departure. "Xiaoyou, can I ask you a few questions?"
He had wanted to ask this a few days ago.
The blond man, who had recently been researching mermaids on the encyclopedia and had broadened his horizons, added, "If it's inconvenient for you to answer, you can refuse, Xiaoyou."
"Just ask, Brother Ling."
"Xiaoyou, what do you think about two men together having a biological child?"
Hasegawa Yuu took a moment to react, "Are they remarrying?"
Seeing the blond senior shaking his head in denial, the orange-haired young man said solemnly, "Brother Ling, surrogacy is strictly prohibited and illegal!"
Furuya Rei said dryly, "...I understand. It's not surrogacy."
Hasegawa Yu thought seriously.
Furuya Rei suggested, "Could it be that one of the students..."
"What?!" Hasegawa Yu was shocked, "Boys can also give birth to children?!"
It seems that male mermaids cannot get pregnant and give birth to children.
For some reason, Furuya Rei breathed a sigh of relief.
Just say that what is on the encyclopedia is not realistic!
"I heard some have pheromones on their bodies, and they exhibit nesting behavior, estrus, and so on..."
Hasegawa Yuu was lost in thought.
Hasegawa Yu suddenly realized.
He patted the blond senior's shoulder sadly, "Brother Ling, novels are novels, and reality is reality. Don't confuse the two."
"Is Brother Ling's hallucination getting worse again? Has he taken his medicine?"
Rei Furuya, who is both physically and mentally healthy: ...
Okay, I know that the mermaids no longer have these things.
