[Master K] The bad one next door

Friday night.

The hour hand of the Garfield alarm clock by the bed was already pointing to 12, but Yazawa Maya still didn't feel sleepy at all.She sat in front of the desk, propped her chin and stared at the thick night outside the window, the lamp on the desk cast a dim yellow halo on the blank diary.

Insomnia.This can be said to be an extremely rare situation for her who has always been sleepy.

Even though it was already late at night, her mind was clearer than ever before, and she sorted out the messy thoughts before when she was in a daze.

Compared with the absent-mindedness last night, she has already calmed down now.There was silence outside the door, apparently both Yazawa's parents had fallen into a deep sleep, which just gave her time to quietly think about the cause and effect of this incident.

Zhenmu Commercial Street.explode.terrorist.Hatta Misaki.superpower.

After she wrote these five key words on paper, she bit her pen and stared blankly again.

What she saw yesterday was something she had never imagined in her life—she thought that this high-tech era was full of excitement, but she didn't know the hidden dangers in this world until she saw the scene where Misaki Hatta's body was lit. There are many things she cannot see and may never know.

The tip of the pen rests on the page, smearing a little ink.Maya hesitated for a while, and finally took up the pen to write the first sentence.

["Supernatural beings" - that's what I call those people. 】

After the first sentence appeared, the following content emerged from her mind logically, and the writing speed was unbelievably smooth.

[Just at the first glance, I feel that they are different from me, May, and most people in the world.In fact, I also guessed right, they have incomparable power to ordinary people, I can feel the tyrannical and powerful aura in their flames just from a distance... it is untouchable.The difference between me and them is like the difference between an ant and a dragon, and what I didn't expect is that Misaki is also one of these "supernatural beings". 】

[Of course, Fushimi-kun and Kamamoto-kun are also fighting with him, and the flames that can easily burn me are under their control like arms and fingers.I used to think that the 13-year-old me who had been with Misaki knew enough about him, but after what happened yesterday, I realized that I was wrong. 】

[I never really knew Hatta Misaki. 】

After writing here, Maki took a deep breath, stabilized the tip of the pen, and continued to write with concentration.

【Even though they are friends, they didn't even reveal such a big thing to me.It is undeniable that he may have something to hide, or his organization has such regulations, or he may not dare to tell me about it... I have considered these reasons, but I still feel very uncomfortable-because Fushimi-kun and Kazuya I am an insider, but I was kept in the dark from the very beginning.Thinking about it this way, they didn't go to school today because they were with other partners. 】

[Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. 】

[I've always been curious about what kind of person can control these supernatural beings with a strong prestige, but the leader on Misaki's side was no one during the whole fight. 】

[Until the appearance of those who call themselves secpter4. 】

[What makes people laugh and cry is that secpter4's real target is clearly the group of five, and Barbara (whose name seems to be called) is also targeting the group of five.It is said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, but in the end it turned into a fight between two large organizations-what kind of hatred and hatred are they doing! 】

As if recalling that chaotic scene, Maya couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and the arc of his smile softened a little under the light.

[After the man called "Chairman" by his subordinates appeared, the leader of the Barbara, who had been missing for a long time, also appeared.The leader's aura of the Barbara seems to be very different from that of the "room chief", even at two extremes. The former is a kind of violence that is almost disorganized, while the latter is a calm and self-sufficient order. 】

【Well, it's a good thing that Misaki joined Barbara, otherwise she would definitely be blown up in secpter4's oppressive atmosphere. 】

[My biggest impression of the leader of the Barbara is his crimson red color and the lazy temperament like a lion exuding from his body... Oh, and the two distinctive red whiskers in front of his head.What hairstyle is that?The most popular avant-garde look in recent years?Anyway, even though that leader is not my ideal boss, Misaki will be very happy to follow him. 】

Maki's pen paused, and some didn't know how to write.It was already 12:30, and looking through the window, there seemed to be only a few houses with lights on.She hesitated for a while, but continued writing.

[When it was finally over, the man—the blue-haired man known as "the chief"—told us that he hoped we would forget what happened that day. 】

[Of course, I didn't intend to disclose this matter, and even decided not to tell my parents, so as not to arouse their worries.But after leaving that street, when I was going to discuss with May not to tell my parents about it, she looked at me blankly, as if I spoke an alien language. 】

【—She said she had no idea what I was talking about, and didn't remember it ever happening. 】

Writing here, she looked up out of the window again.In the dense and deep night, there was only one lamp, which was crumbling on the sea like a lone boat, almost going out.

[The last is the owner of the unknown number. 】

[After that, I never received any text messages from him (maybe her), nor did I send him any text messages.To be able to accurately predict and judge things, he should be a very magical person. 】

[During this incident, he kindly gave me a reminder, and this incident finally passed without any danger.And thanks to him, I was able to maintain my own mentality in that environment - thank you so much. 】

Towards the end, she wrote more and more anxiously.

[This terrorist attack is not without cost. 】

[The people in the game hall, as well as those who were close to the game hall at that time, including the boss and the proprietress, a total of 38 people-all died in the explosion. 】

[Sometimes I think, if we went to a game hall instead of a dessert shop, would I have died in it too?Even if you go out earlier, will you be affected by the explosion?I think so, but I know that there is no if in this world, so I can sit here comfortably and say one thing - the dead rest in peace. 】

The last mellow full stop fell, the last light in the dark night was finally extinguished, and there was only a dark night sky outside the window.

The city fell into a deep sleep.

In the almost eerie silence, a piercing telephone rang suddenly.

<<<<<<

Almost as soon as the call was made, Hatta Misaki regretted it.

Without waiting for the other party to answer the phone, he hung up the terminal in a panic, sat cross-legged on the hospital bed with one hand on his knees, and stared at the blood-red "call failed" on the screen in a daze.The light-haired man in the peaked cap who was enjoying himself playing with the PSP beside the hospital bed heard the "beep" and then cut it off in less than a second. He couldn't help but raised his head inexplicably: "Why, stop beeping?"

Hatta, with a Band-Aid on his face and a bandage on his head, looked bitter: "I just remembered that guy is not a night owl like us... If he hits him at this time, he will definitely be scolded to death!!"

Akagi Shohei's hands kept moving: "Ah? It's surprising that there are people with such good living habits among your friends. If you don't call, please return the terminal to me, so as not to waste the phone bill—— "

While nagging, he suddenly realized something, and the voice stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.

There was silence in the bright ward for a while. The young man wearing a peaked cap suddenly raised his head and stared at the orange-haired boy dumbfounded: "You mean...'her'?! A woman?! A real woman?!"

Does Misaki Hatta know any girls?What an international joke, this is the sun coming out from the west!

Hatta blushed: "Where is your focus?!"

"I think my focus is very normal!" Akagi slapped the PSP on the table next to him, unwilling to let go, "You, a super virgin guy who can't even look at a girl poster, has a girlfriend, which makes me feel like I have a girlfriend." How can we normal men who are chasing after women live!"

Seeing the angrily expression on the other party's face, Hatta was stunned.

Oh, so it's the resentment of the single dog... The point is not this.

"I said it's not a girlfriend! It's just a neighbor's girl who grew up together!"

Chicheng was stunned: "...the girl from the neighbor's house?"

"Otherwise what do you think it is!"

"So that's it, childhood sweetheart." Akagi's unbelievable expression calmed down a little bit, "No wonder you can take the lead."

After he understood what was going on, he lost interest, sat back on the chair, continued to fiddle with the PSP, and kept muttering: "I just said, how can you be a girl, after getting along for so long Even the little ones are not interested in you, you are a failure enough, I guess it is the fate of being single for the rest of your life..."

The orange-haired boy's veins twitched in front of the young man in the peaked cap who was fooling around: "—Chicheng, do you want to fight?!"

Just when the two were arguing with each other, the screen of the silent terminal suddenly lit up, and then the ringtone set to street music rang along with the vibration of the terminal.

The tense atmosphere instantly deflated like a deflated ball.Hatta, who hadn't vented enough, felt angry, grabbed the vibrating terminal, ignored Akagi's shout of "Hey Hatta, that's my terminal!", pressed the answer button and put it next to his ear and said angrily: "Who Huh? Calling so late!"

After the voice fell, the terminal was silent for a while.It wasn't until Hatta felt impatient and wanted to hang up the phone that a slightly hesitant female voice came from the other end:

"Are you... Misaki?"

Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Hatta's angry expression froze instantly.

"...Maya?!"

Chicheng, who wanted to snatch the mobile phone by the ward, heard the strange girl's name, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was not in a hurry to grab it. He stood by and gloated at the orange-haired boy's bewildered look.

Well, it seems that there is a good show to watch.

On the other side, Mami sat on the soft bed in the room, stared at the halo of the lamp on the desk in the dark, and said expressionlessly: "So you also know that it is very late now."

These words were obviously hinting at the indiscriminate yelling before.

Hatta's voice, which was already somewhat stuck, suddenly stammered: "No, no, I didn't mean that... I didn't know it was you when I picked up the terminal..."

Even through the terminal, she could still imagine the orange-haired boy blushing in a panic, and his incoherent performance was extremely cute.Thinking of this, the complaint in her heart dissipated a little bit, hooked the corners of her mouth, relaxed her body and fell on the soft mattress, got into the bed, still holding the terminal in one hand: "Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you."

Hatta on the other side of the phone choked, unable to speak for a long time.Mami looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and said softly: "Did you call in the middle of the night for something?"

——You don't need to emphasize the five words "calling in the middle of the night"!real!

Hatta couldn't help slandering silently, but he still bit the bullet and continued under Akagi Shohei's interesting eyes: "Actually, it's nothing...don't hang on! It's actually...uh..." Speaking of the latter, His voice became smaller and smaller, "I may not be able to go home for the next few days, please help me make up a reason for my mother..."

Maya was silent for a long time, until Misaki Hatta was so nervous that she almost thought that she would not agree, then sighed helplessly: "I see. I will make up a suitable reason."

"...Ah?" Hatta exclaimed in surprise, "You agreed?!"

"If you don't agree, do I still watch you get mixed doubles by uncles and aunts after you come back?"

Shohei Akagi couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this.Hatta turned his head and stared at him, then scratched his head at the terminal when he turned his head, and thanked him in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Then...thank you."

"Well, I'll go to bed first, good night."

"Oh, bye...wait a minute," Hatta suddenly realized something unusual, stopped her quickly, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to ask me what happened?"

Normally, with Yazawa Maya's temperament, he would meddle in asking about the general process of the last sentence, and he was at a loss every time he asked.He even thought about the reason this time, but the other party didn't mention a word. The huge gap made him a little bit unacceptable.

The girl's voice paused: "Anyway, I can guess that it's a clumsy excuse like 'living at a friend's house'."

Hatta was stunned for a moment.Before he could react, Maki hung up the phone, only a busy tone remained in his ear.

After a while, he turned his head and looked at Akagi Shohei, who was also stunned, with a blank expression on his face: "Hey, is this my illusion? I always feel that she seems to be angry..."

The young man in the peaked cap picked up the PSP again, and said thoughtfully: "It seems to be the case."

Hatta suddenly felt a little bad.

"What's going on? It's inexplicable!"

"You ask me how do I know about this kind of thing? Ask Chitose, he knows best." Chicheng shrugged, and couldn't help sighing as he continued the game, "I didn't expect that your friend is really a girl, and the voice still sounds like a girl." It's so cute, I thought it was a shemale at first."

"What kind of shemale?! If you talk nonsense again, be careful and I will beat you!"

"Oh, it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously..."

"Can this kind of joke be made casually?!... No, who cares!"
