[Master K] The bad one next door

Only three days had passed since the last time I left Zhenmecho.

Today, three days later, Yazawa Shinya is in Zhenme's apartment, with a sniper gun and a small pistol quietly lying on the coffee table in front of her, while she herself is biting chocolate and watching TV while sitting Dangle your legs on the couch.

News about the "Butei Killer" was broadcast over and over again on TV. It is said that this unknown man blew up a bus in Tokyo last night. No one in the whole car was recovered, and one of them died Butei high school students, the whole thing is very noisy.Listening to the reporter's voice on the stereo, Mami's shaking legs gradually stopped.

Normally at this time, she should have stayed in the classroom of Tokyo Butei High School, dealing with those cultural lessons that she thought were much simpler than combat training.This time, however, was an exception.

She—or her team, received the task the day after it was established.

The mission level is A, which is somewhat beyond Maya's ability, but Oida said that with her sniper ability, she is fully qualified for the job of a sniper for this mission.The entire task was described as catching a serial killer who was absconding in the town—although the killer was famous and had a photo, but for some reason the police couldn’t find him, so the task of hunting was handed over to the military. detective's hand.And on the afternoon when the task was handed over, by coincidence—really by coincidence, a camera in Zhenmu captured his flashing figure in the crowd.

Then, they successfully received this task that was rewarded very richly, but was strangely placed on the task bar and ignored.

Maki bit off the chocolate bar with a "click" and picked up the remote control on the coffee table to turn off the TV.

——how should I put it... Because she was so lucky, she had the thought of "this is too coincidental".

She flipped through the terminal and found the murderer's information.

"... Kota Fujiwara?"

Speaking of it, I always feel that this name is very familiar.

The "Fujiwara Kota" shown in the photo is a handsome man with a smile on his face that makes people feel warm just by looking at it. It is hard to imagine why such a person would commit such a serious crime as serial murder. ——Of course, these are not things she should consider now.Her first task is to find Kota Fujiwara and arrest him.

Regarding this point, the organization gave something that was said to be an "assistant", but it was actually similar to a "chicken rib"...

- Software called "detectioner-13" installed on the terminal.

Installing this software requires special permissions. Its function is very simple, that is, it can scan the target to be searched within a radius of three meters.However, the whole town is so big, if you want to rely on this to find the criminal, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, you can only rely on luck.

Having said that, when the four of them were acting separately, Hirobe-kun seemed to have started wandering around the city.

Miya couldn't help but sighed.She rubbed her temples, put away the terminal, and planned to take this time to visit the Barbara bar.Before going out, she picked up the small pistol on the table, hesitated for a while, and finally put it back.

Although it is only a spare firearm for self-defense, I always feel that it is not good to bring a weapon to a friend's place.

——Then, let’s go out like this.

She quickly made a decision, came to the entrance, picked up the coat on the hanger and put it on.As the door opened with a "squeak" and then closed with a "bang", the house was once again silent.

In the darkness, only the barrels of the sniper guns and pistols on the coffee table reflected a cold light.

<<<<<

The recent town is a bit turbulent.

The bombing of the "Butei Killer" in Tokyo has invisibly affected this area, and the number of robbers and criminals on the street has gradually increased a lot compared to the past, and many innocent people have been involved. A series of incidents have caused secpter? Barbara was very busy.When the Red King Zhou Fangzun led his clan to patrol the streets of Zhenmu, only Izumo Kusanagi, Tara Kushina and Anna Kushina stayed behind in the empty Barbara Bar.

This morning, when the wind chime at the door was ringing, they were surprised to hear a meek voice that shouldn't have appeared here: "Brother Kusanagi, Brother Shishu, Anna sauce, good afternoon."

"Yazawa? Don't you have to go to school today?"

Kusanagi looked surprised.The black-haired girl walked in and smiled just right: "Because I have to go home to finish some homework. Of course, I should be going back soon... I want to disturb you before going back to school, I hope you don't mind." After finishing speaking, she touched Touching Anna's head, "Long time no see, Anna——Brother Shishu too."

Anna held her finger lightly in response, while the brunette young man sitting beside her made a kind joke: "Of course not, as long as Yazawa-san wants to come anytime, you are welcome, but today Hatta is not here, so don't So disappointed."

Hearing this, Mami was suddenly embarrassed.

"Why, why, I didn't come here just for Misaki..."

——As time went by, she also gradually discovered that every time she came to Baru Wuluo, she would be teased by everyone, and most of the content was related to her childhood sweetheart who had a low fire rate.Although I knew they were just joking, as the parties involved, I always felt a little shy when I heard it.

Fortunately, Kusanagi quickly helped her out, and handed her a cup of hot matcha latte, which successfully diverted her attention.It was the end of summer, and the air outside the bar was still hot from the scorching heat, but the temperature inside was extremely comfortable.After Mami thanked her, Xiao Xiao took a sip of the matcha latte, letting the familiar sweetness moisten the tip of her tongue, and her heart, which was a little anxious because of the first mission, suddenly calmed down.

The Tokyo Butei High School app on the terminal kept sending reminders of new messages, and Mami took the time to glance and found that Hirobe was swiping the screen one by one like a convulsion.

"Shinichi Hirobe: Wow, I saw Izumi Liang and Oida dating in a dessert shop! So let's show off our love @环泽真娅"

"Shinichi Hirobe: Do you know that I saw the legendary barbarians parading through the streets! The red-haired cockroach beard in the lead is so magical hahahahaha!"

"Shinichi Hirobe: ... Eh, no one cares about me, I'm so boring and heartbroken QAQ love between people, trust QAQ"

——The level of chatter is astonishing.

If this guy dared to say such outrageous words in Barbara, he would definitely be burned to death in minutes.She silently turned on the input method, and replied a few words under the dense nonsense.

"Yazawa Maya: ... just as long as you are happy."

"By the way, are Misaki and the others patrolling outside?"

The smile on Toku's face clearly said "Look, it's not a question at the end": "Ah, yes—but Yazawa-san, don't worry, if the king is here, it's a coincidence to fight with secpter4 Hatta will not be seriously injured."

Knowing that the other party was comforting herself, Maya couldn't help but nodded gratefully at him.Although she vaguely guessed that the unusually frequent group outings of the barbarians might have something to do with the recent unrest in society, she still didn't ask any further questions, but picked up the cup and drank the matcha latte silently.

The bar became quiet again, and the red decoration in the store revealed a layer of calm tone.Kusanagi turned on the TV, and the projection on the TV screen was clearly reflected on the bar.

It was the news station at this time, and the voices from the speakers were a bit messy, mixed with background sounds of running and shouting, among which the voice of the female reporter was the most prominent:

"It is reported that at about 23:[-] last night, an explosion occurred in the office building of the Household Registration Section of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau. After investigation, it was confirmed that the explosion occurred in the building where the criminals were held. The cause of the explosion is still unknown. This is a follow-up report, and we will continue to report for you in the future ..."

Hearing the familiar name suddenly, the people present turned their heads subconsciously, staring at the TV screen that suddenly trembled for some reason.

……

"--explode?"

In the samsara dessert shop, Zhui Tian withdrew his gaze from the TV on the wall, and focused on the expressionless white coat companion in front of him: "Izumi Liang, do you think the explosion of secpter 4 is abnormal?"

Quan Liangquan nodded, but said nothing.

"...You agree with Irie pretty much."

"?"

"Irie Irena from the sniper department, the one who is in the same class as Shinya and Hirobe." Seeing him bewildered, Chaita explained patiently, "The night when the explosion happened—to be precise, it was around one o'clock in the morning. A post was posted on the school forum, saying that the explosion may have been a prison escape by a capable person. Of course, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Quanliang didn't respond, as if these things had nothing to do with him-in fact, the two had nothing to do with each other.Zhui Tian stared at him closely, and his response was a long silence.Just when she thought he would not answer, he suddenly said, "Heizu."

"……what?"

"Student Zhui Tian, ​​have you heard of the Hei Race?"

Zhui Tian tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "What the hell, I've only heard of the Gray Clan, and the Gray King is dead...I said, this can't be a pirated copy of the Seven Clans, right? The food is ready." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing at her own brain hole.

"So what is it? Izumi, can you explain?"

Just as she finished speaking, there was a crisp "da" sound above her head.Looking up, the hands of the wall clock on the wall are already pointing steadily to the direction where the number "10" is engraved.

"Ah, it's already ten o'clock, and it's almost time to leave." Chaitian stood up, turned his head, and saw Quan Liang staring at the table in a daze, "Quan Liang? What's wrong?"

The black-haired boy raised his head expressionlessly, the rich black in his eyes was bottomless: "No, it's nothing. Let's go."

……

"Stab--stab--"

In the bar, the TV screen shook more and more violently, and the female reporter's face was distorted into messy lines.Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound, the screen finally flicked violently and finally disappeared.

A moment of silence.

After a moment of silence, Kusanagi reluctantly picked up the remote control, and simply turned off the power: "Oh, oh, the signal is not very good, it seems that I can't read it anymore."

Maya looked surprised: "That Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau Household Registration Section...does it refer to secpter4?"

"Ah, yes."

Kusanagi answered easily.But Miya always felt that something was not right.

"But...why did the explosion happen? Besides, it also said that the place where the explosion happened was in the prison cell, right?" Suddenly realizing something, she couldn't help but clenched her cup tightly, "Could it be..."

"—Don't worry too much, Yazawa-san."

Shi Shu's tone gently interrupted her wild thoughts.When Zhen Miwang went back, the brown-haired young man had a relieved smile on his face: "The strength of secpter4 should not be underestimated. They should have their own plans for this matter—besides, don't we still have our Barbara?"

Ten bundles of Tatara's smiles carried a reassuring magic power, and Maki's originally tense mood gradually relaxed under his comfort.She pinched the cuffs with her hands and put them on her knees, lowered her head slightly, and apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I thought too much."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, Yazawa-san's ability to say what is in his heart represents his trust in us. I am very happy about this." Totsu said, and then changed the subject briskly, "Speaking of Yazawa-san, Hatta later How would you react if I came back to see you here?"

"Eh?" Mami was taken aback, and stared at him blankly, "Suddenly saying that...it seems...I really didn't tell him..."

Ten beams winked at her: "Really? Then I really look forward to his reaction, it must be very interesting."

When he spoke, he did not hide the mischievous smile in his tone, and it was only at this time that Shinya realized the black belly factor in Toku Tara's body belatedly.But it was too late, she could only blush, and complained incoherently: "Well, even if this is really the case, Brother Shishu, you don't have to laugh so happily!"

"Huh—but it's fun."

"Brother Shishu!"

The blond boss behind the bar was wiping his wine glass, smiling without saying a word; Anna Kushina, who was wearing a red gothic loli outfit, was quietly drinking brown sugar water as always.

This situation came into view, and Maki couldn't help but feel that even if the explosion was really an ominous omen as she thought, this peace would last for a long time.

Therefore, my worries are completely unnecessary.

This thought just crossed my mind——

Suddenly there was a long "squeak" at the door.

——It was the sound of the bar door being slowly pushed open.

Then, someone's heel stepped on the wooden floor, making the sound of slow and heavy footsteps.

Kusanagi quickly reacted, and nodded to the person who came by: "Welcome... Huh?" Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

Mami clearly saw the smile disappearing from his face, replaced by a face full of surprise, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.Still, out of a strange curiosity, she forced herself to turn her head and look at the new visitor.

Walking slowly through the door was a person wrapped in black.

Judging from his body shape, he should be a male. He is wearing a huge black windbreaker, his entire face is hidden under the hood, and his expression cannot be seen clearly.After he came in, the chatter and laughter in the bar disappeared at some point, leaving only the heavy footsteps of this sudden guest walking towards the bar, and the "tick-tick" sound of the clock on the wall.

"Boom. Boom. Boom."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a sense of oppression came over his face, and Maki felt inexplicably out of breath.When this person was less than three meters away from them, another voice suddenly sounded in the bar.

"Drip-drip-"

——The terminal that had been lying quietly in Mami's pocket suddenly vibrated restlessly, sending out a sharp alarm.
