Chapter 44: Trouble in the Alley 1

"Toothpaste for Jing, beer for Hagiwara, shampoo for the class monitor, and cigarettes for Matsuda. Hmm, I have coke, beer, and snacks... Tsk, it's not a real love letter, why should I listen to these guys, really..."

Coming out of the supermarket carrying a large bag of things, Jōtani muttered to himself, stuffed the note in his hand into his pocket, reached into the bag and took out a can of beer, pulled the ring open, and drank it all in one gulp.

Tokyo was humid and hot in August. After drinking a can of cool ice beer, Furiya Rei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the heat in his body had dissipated a lot.

There was still some time before the evening roll call at the police academy, so although there was no need to rush back, those guys would definitely complain if I was late. Especially Matsuda, who had been talking a lot of nonsense these past two days.

"...I didn't expect that after entering the police academy, I would be troubled by my classmates."

Fūya Rei suddenly recalled some distant memories. He sneered helplessly, complained, and quickened his pace, preparing to take a shortcut by taking a small path.

This is a narrow and secluded alley. The street lamps are a bit far apart, and there is a long shadow in the middle, which looks eerie. There are almost no pedestrians at night.

When they were almost halfway through the road, Fūya Rei saw a young woman dressed like an office worker walking towards them. She had her head lowered, her hands tightly grasping the straps of her backpack in front of her chest, and she looked nervous.

Furiya Rei frowned.

Single women would generally try to avoid walking on this kind of road at night, unless there is a special reason? Coupled with the fact that this woman kept turning her head to look behind her, things didn't seem that simple.

Furukaya Rei looked past the young woman and found that there was indeed someone more than ten steps behind her.

In the dim light, all you could make out was a man of medium build wearing a windbreaker.

When he noticed a stranger walking towards him in the alley, the man paused for a moment, reached out to pull up the collar of his windbreaker to cover his face, and it was obvious that he had something to hide.

Seeing the young woman approaching him, Jyouya reached out to stop her and said, "Hello, may I ask..."

"what!"

The young woman kept walking with her head down and didn't notice anyone in front of her. She was stopped unexpectedly and was so scared that she took several steps back and let out a scream.

At the same time, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the shadow in the corner and rushed straight towards Furukaya Rei's face.

Furiya Rei reacted quickly and dodged to the side subconsciously. He felt a strong push on his shoulder and his cheek hurt as if it was scratched by a knife.

Fūya Rei took two steps back before he could see clearly what had attacked him.

A black cat with green eyes stood between him and the woman. It swung its tail and called out to him, "Meow (Oh, you actually dodged it. You're awesome)."

"Hei-chan!" the young woman exclaimed in surprise, and then, as if emboldened by the cat, she looked at Fūya Ling with a vigilant gaze and shouted in a timid voice, "Who are you and what do you want to do!"

Koizumi was speechless.

She could hear the slight tremor in the woman's voice and couldn't help but complain in her heart. Your acting skills are as bad as your courage. Your voice is distorted and out of tune. It sounds like you are bluffing, right? You should calm down! And do I know you well? How come I don't know.

Furiya Ling also clearly felt the woman's nervousness. He thought for a moment, took out a small notebook that Koizumi was familiar with from his pocket, opened it and showed it to the woman: "Madam, I am a student at the police academy, and this is my student ID. I see that you seem to be followed by someone, do you need any help?"

Under the dim street light, the woman couldn't see the words on the document at all. She was hesitating whether to go closer to take a closer look, when suddenly a black cat jumped out of nowhere and bit a corner of the document.

Fūya Rei's attention was not on the cat at all, and he did not expect that a cat could jump so high, so he was caught off guard and attacked by it again.

Before he could react, the cat ran over to the young woman with his student ID in its mouth.

The woman didn't expect the black cat to do this. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly bent down to take the ID from the cat's mouth and took a look. After confirming that it was indeed a student ID from the police academy, she hurried over and returned the ID to Furuya Rei: "I'm so sorry, Black-chan...ah, your face is bleeding!"

The woman hurriedly took out a pack of tissues from her purse and handed it over.

Fūya Rei took it and wiped it, only then did he find that there was actually blood on the tissue. It was obvious that he had not been able to completely avoid the cat's sneak attack just now, and was scratched by it.

Koizumi: ...

I'm suddenly curious about your reaction ability...

Sorry, didn't mean to do that.

The woman leaned over and patted the black cat's head. "Hei-chan, it's okay. He's a good man."

Koizumi: ...

Why does this woman seem so familiar? Oh, I see. You must be familiar with the little black cat who looks exactly like me.

Furiya Rei: "…Is this your cat?"

"No, no, it's not." The woman replied hastily, "This is a stray cat from the neighborhood. Maybe because I've fed it a few times, it occasionally escorts me along this road. Heijiang is the leader cat in this area, very powerful!"

Oh no no no, I guess that guy is just greedy for your food, really.

Furiha Rei touched the wound on his face.

It was quite amazing. He was attacked by this cat repeatedly, not only was his face scratched, but his student ID was also stolen. If his classmates, especially Matsuda, knew about this, he would probably be laughed at to death.

Koizumi: ...

Come to think of it, does this count as assaulting a police officer?

Furuya Rei looked down at the black cat, and the black cat looked up at Furuya Rei, and their eyes met.

It looks like the cat doesn't look very fierce/It looks like the person doesn't look angry.

Fūya Rei curled the corner of his mouth, reached out his hand carefully, and gently touched the cat's head with his fingertips.

Koizumi didn't dodge, but nudged his hand with his furry head.

Forget it, forget it. I’m in the wrong if I hurt you accidentally, so I’ll let you touch me.

The young woman was surprised: "Hey, Heijiang likes you very much. He rarely gets so close to people and usually won't let anyone touch him."

Koizumi: ...

It seems that it is the little black cat. That guy is indeed afraid of people.

Furugaya Rei smiled and turned to look into the distance. There were more important things to do than cats. The stalker was still lingering in the distance, looking unwilling to give up.

Furutani Ling frowned and said to the young woman: "Come on, I'll walk you out of this street."

The young woman bowed quickly and thanked him: "Okay, thank you very much."

Furiya Ling turned around and walked with the young woman to the end of the alley. "It's too dangerous for a young woman like you to walk alone on this road at night. Next time, try to find a road with more people. It will be safer. Besides, you can't really expect a cat to protect your safety, right? If you encounter similar dangerous situations next time, it's best to call the police immediately."

"throat!"

When Furiya Rei looked down, he saw that the black cat had just turned his eyes away, and it looked like it was rolling its eyes at him.

Hey, this cat is still following me? Is it really escorting this woman?

Koizumi: ...

I really was just passing through.

Furiya Rei didn't pay much attention to the cat, he was always paying attention to what was behind him.

Even though I'm a grown man, the stalker is still following me, and he doesn't seem to want to leave. He still doesn't give up? This is too bold!

Fūya Rei narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seemed that even if he escorted the woman out of the alley, this guy might wait for an opportunity to attack him after he left, so it would be better to get rid of him now.

Fūya Rei made up his mind, and when passing a fork in the road, he reached out and grabbed the young woman's hand and turned into the side road.

The young woman was startled, but found that Fōtani Rei was guarding the fork in the road, waiting for his opportunity and ready to attack at any time. She immediately came to her senses, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand without making a sound. She also cooperated very well and dodged backwards to make room for a possible conflict.

As soon as Koizumi saw what Furuya Rei did, he immediately understood.

She did not follow him, but cooperated by retreating a short distance, lurking in the shadows by the wall, turning her head to stare at the man chasing her.

The stalker didn't notice the black cat in the shadows on the roadside at all. Just as he passed by Koizumi, the black cat suddenly jumped out and hit the man's knee hard.

Fūya Rei was guarding the corner, paying close attention to the movements coming from the opposite direction.

The sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer. Fūya Rei waited patiently for the opportunity, ready to subdue the stalker as soon as he showed up.

Unexpectedly, before he could even make a move, the stalker fell to the ground, landing heavily on his face.

Fūya Rei speechlessly put down the fist he had prepared for a long time and looked at the black cat that was leisurely walking around the corner.

The man and the cat looked at each other again.

Jianggu Ling:......

This cat seems to be too skilled at sneak attacks?

Koizumi: ...

I really just wanted to be a support, I didn't expect him to be such a coward!

The stalker fell pretty badly. He lay on the ground for a long time before he got up groaning. There were some scratches on his hands and face, and his pants were torn.

Seeing the stalker's face, the young woman suddenly screamed, "Why is it you!"

Koizumi was also surprised.

why you!
