Rain Girl's Revenge

"Judging by the direction of the wind, there should be an exit in the southeast direction."

"The humidity in the air is very high. Is the exit over there facing the pier, Mr. Magician?"

"...So you caught me here on purpose to use me as a navigator?"

very noisy--

Just as Mieko woke up vaguely, she heard a bickering sound in her ear.

It's really noisy - it's so noisy in the morning, where are the tenants arguing again?What a worry-free job——

If only—father and sister were still here—

Dad and sister?

By the way, what did I do yesterday—I vaguely remember that I received the news and prepared to run away, and then I planned to make Masuda Toshi as a scapegoat at the suggestion of someone, and then—I seemed to see—Dad?

father!

Mieko woke up instantly, but the scene in front of her once again made her dumbfounded.

Right now, I seem to be in a deep tunnel. The tunnel is not dug smoothly, it seems to be smashed out bit by bit by hand, and the outline of the edge is very rough.I was lying on the solid ground, wrapped in a blanket I didn't know where to take it out, and several flashlights around me flickered in the dark.

"Tick-tock-"

Mieko felt that her face was suddenly a little cold, she wiped her face, but felt the water drops on her face, it turned out that the water dripping from the stalactites on her head just fell on her face, the coldness was very refreshing.

"Where am I-?"

Xu didn't speak for a while, and Mieko's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yo, you're awake!"

Carter greeted Mieko with a smile.

"It's already 11.00 am the next day, Ms. Fujiwara." Grammer nodded to Mieko, "Do you need lunch?"

"Huh? Oh—oh thank you."

Mieko numbly walked towards the few people gathered together, and thanked in a low voice. "Kato-san" gave her a seat very gentlemanly.

Carter handed her a piece of bread: "I'm sorry I came out in a hurry, so I only brought these. Do you want butter and jam?"

"The jam will be fine, thank you."

Mieko looked at the steaming coffee pot in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt familiar. Speaking of which, had she seen this coffee pot before?

"Ah, I forgot to mention. When we went out, we found that we didn't bring a coffee pot, and we were a bit rushed. We couldn't help but brought the coffee pot from your shop. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Carter scratched his head while eating bread. Scratch your head.

Mieko:. . . . . .

"No, it's okay?"

"Kato Zun":. . . . . .

Grammer: . . . . . .

"It's okay, Ms. Fujiwara, you don't have to worry about this idiot's feelings." Grammer said lightly, then turned around and slapped Carter on the forehead, "His brain is not normal for a few days every month. "

"Excuse me, so you can swear!" "Kato-sun" eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new world.

Carter: . . . . . .Let's go, big brother!

Grammer: . . . . . .I kind of regret bringing him out.

Mieko:. . . . . .I'd better eat.

"That—where are we now?" Seeing that the depression on Grammer's body was getting heavier and heavier, Mieko quickly and cleverly changed the subject.

"Just below the Rain Goddess Shrine, Ms. Fujiwara."

"what?"

Mieko knew that her facial expression must be stupid, but she didn't know what kind of expression to face this explanation.I was obviously still in Inoue Ichiro's bedroom last night!

"To be precise, it should have passed the Yunu Temple and walked towards the pier, and we will soon be able to reach their dirty little secret base." Carter enthusiastically gestured the route, "Of course, this is with you guys. The road back then was different, so it's no wonder you don't know, Miss Mieko." After that, he gave Mieko a comforting smile.

Sure enough, they all knew.Mieko's heart sank slightly, it seemed that pretending to be stupid had no effect.

The four of them fell silent again, only the coffee pot was still making a "woo-woo" sound.

"That—I know that I'm a bit wolfish when I say that—" After a long while, Mieko suddenly spoke hesitantly, "But——why did you rescue me?"

"Why not?" Carter still had a pleasant and generous smile on his face, as if Mieko's question didn't offend him too much.

"I killed someone!"

"we know."

"I killed more than one person! Ichiro Inoue, Granny Gardenia, Toshi Masuda, they were all killed by me!"

"why?"

This question seemed to make Mieko a little difficult to answer. She put her hands on her knees and stared at the dancing flames.

After a long time, she licked her lips and finally said:

"Because they deserve to die."

"Those people go to the base every time in the name of going to sea to make drugs, and sell them to the underworld groups in Tokyo——Dad, because he saw the scene of their transaction, he was personally injected by them. A lot of drugs, and finally passed away in pain——later—later, my sister followed my father’s example to go fishing in order to buy me a headband—and then ran into their business again—the knot—the result—"

"They killed her again! Not only did they kill her, they also abused and beat her, even—even—" After speaking, Mieko was already trembling with anger, and her big eyes were full of strong anger and hatred.

"Even raped her, right?" Grammer said flatly.

Seemingly stimulated by Grammer's words, Mieko's body shook suddenly, her eyes glowed with intense hatred.

"That's right! They are animals that are not as good as pigs and dogs! They deserve to die! I killed them and avenged my father and sister! I was not wrong!"

"I also tried to solve the problem through the law! I really tried-but no matter how many times, everyone told me that it took too long to do it, or that there was no complete evidence to solve the problem. I Tried to go straight to the police, but it didn't work, it didn't work, no one was willing to help me but myself—"

"So, when 'The Magician of the End of the Century' approached you, you said yes without hesitation, right?"

"Yeah - besides this reason, there is also the fact that he and Dad are so similar -"

The coffee seemed to have been thoroughly brewed, and there was a contented purr.Carter reached for the coffee pot and filled Mieko's water glass with a cup of coffee.

"Calm down, you were too excited just now."

Mieko picked up the water glass with trembling hands, and swallowed heavily, only to choke tears from the boiling coffee.

"Cough cough cough-"

Coughing and coughing, hot tears gushed out from between her fingers like torrential rain, moistening the dark soil under her feet.

"Kato-san" silently patted her on the back to help her calm down.

Grammer and Carter stood up, listening in silence to the girl's desperate cries echoing through the small room.

After a long time, it was not until the girl was tired from crying, and she cried a few times, that Grammer finally stepped forward, handed her a small handkerchief, and comforted her softly:

"You did nothing wrong, you did a good job."

Mieko's eyes widened in surprise, the reactions of the two people in front of her completely overturned her imagination.

Seeing Mieko's surprised expression, both Carter and Grammer laughed.

Carter scratched his head: "How should I put it—we can understand your feelings. If any of us were you, we would all have the possibility to make the same choice as you, or even more ruthless than you."

"Precisely because there are so many problems in this world that the light cannot solve, the ruling from the dark is particularly important."

"But——you made a very serious mistake." Carter straightened his back, and his face returned to seriousness for a moment, "Because you feel that you will be rewarded, you choose to perish with the enemy. This is the most stupid way of revenge."

"In this world, nothing is more important than staying alive."

"As long as I can survive—even if this choice means abandoning my dignity and bearing great pain forever—as long as I can survive, there is still hope for everything."

"At least in our opinion, no one is worth giving up your precious life."

It was the first time for Mieko to hear such remarks, her eyes widened involuntarily, and the tears in her eyes were once again turbulent.Only this time, she finally stopped crying out of despair.

After packing up their luggage, the few of them set off again.Along the way, "Kato Tsun" rarely quarreled with Carter and Grammer, but just guided the way honestly, reminded them from time to time when they made mistakes in judgment, and was very gentleman when they encountered difficulties in walking To support Mieko, or Lakater and Grammer - although according to the two of them, it is not necessary at all.

The path dug by hand is very difficult to walk. The road has always been steep, the dirt road is wet and slippery, and there are no handrails on the walls on both sides. From time to time, small stones will scratch the feet of several people. Almost fell straight down.Fortunately, with the support of several other men, it was safe and sound.

"These holes are like a big mouth, I feel like they will swallow us at any time." During a break, Mieko mentioned.

"I feel like you've been looking for something, what are you looking for?"

"Soon," Grammer replied softly.

"You'll find out soon, Miss Fujiwara."

The few people walked for a while, and suddenly a steel gate appeared in front of them, which looked particularly abrupt in the dark tunnel.

"What the hell kind of place is this?" Mieko subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, her voice filled with strong disgust.The pungent smell coming from the gate made her very uncomfortable.

"As we said earlier, this is their dirty little gathering place." There was a hint of sarcasm and a hint of indifference in Carter's voice.

"The door is open, let's go." "Kato Zun" opened the door first.

"You move very quickly." Carter raised his eyebrows.

"It's just the simplest password, it won't bother me."

The iron door opened with a bang, and Carter lit the candlestick placed at the door with a lighter.

The scene in front of her was far beyond Mieko's expectations. She thought she would see ancient altars, mysterious reliefs, and even monuments such as treasures, but she was far from expecting that the things in front of her were full of post-industrial revolution— ——In front of her eyes, there were rows of neat and orderly machines.All the machines had been polished, and some of them were still emitting white smoke. It seemed that the operators had neglected to turn them off.

"The level of this machine—it seems to have been inherited from the Nazis." Carter looked around and nodded.

"It's really—it's not ordinary cruelty." "Kato-san" sighed.

Mieko was confused.

"Excuse me, what are these machines used for?"

"It's used to produce drugs, Miss Mieko." Carter tilted his head and directed Mieko to observe the operating tables of those machines. "As I said, this is their dirty little gathering place."

"The thing has been found, let's go." Grammer came out from an unknown corner and said to everyone.

Everyone nodded.Before Mieko left, she took one last look at the operating room, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Here, where they produce the damn things.

It was because of these things that they killed Dad and sister!

"Aren't we going to destroy this place?"

"No need." Carter scratched the back of his head.

"It's better to leave these things to the police. They will be of great use at that time." Grammer turned around and explained.

Walking out of the operating room, several people speeded up their pace in unison.Mieko felt that the light in front of her eyes was getting brighter and brighter. She faintly smelled the unique salty smell of the sea, and even heard the cries of seagulls and the sound of waves lapping on the beach.That "wow-wow-" tone seemed so gentle and kind at the moment.

"We're not used to saying goodbye." Grammer stopped abruptly.

"We've reached the exit, and the squadron leader is waiting for you at the pier."

"Don't worry, we have prepared a special gift for you." Carter suddenly comforted them softly, as if aware of the anxiety and tension of "Takashi Kato" and Mieko.

"Well, okay." Mieko took a deep breath and was about to step out of the deep tunnel.

About to reach the exit, Mieko suddenly stopped.

"Although it's a little late to say it now, I still want to say-really, thank you very special!"

Being with you is my greatest blessing.

This sentence, Mieko hid in her heart.

Behind them, the three men smiled slightly.

"Nothing - the black tea and desserts you made are delicious, thank you." Grammer replied softly, as if he was not very used to complimenting other people's cooking skills, Mieko noticed that his ears were slightly red.

"Well! If you have a chance in the future, you must come to play again! I'm waiting for you!"

Mieko smiled happily, turned around, strode out of the cave, and walked to the pier where a police car was waiting for her.

Under the bright sunshine, Mieko squinted her eyes happily, breathing in the salty and humid air by the sea, and the scent of sweet cookies that was mixed in the air, which was imperceptible, and murmured a sentence in her heart:

The sky today is so bright——

Really, just like dad and sister.
