I paid too much for Feiwuluo

All black-haired ones, one big and one small, were walking on the streets of Ikebukuro.

The older one looks like a college student who hasn't been severely beaten by social training. The ease and ease that is constantly exuding from every pore is really enviable.

The little one is also an ordinary cute little girl.

Although the difference in height between the two makes the little girl have to lift her hand above her head to hold the big one, but generally speaking, these days, there are really too few brothers who are willing to go out alone with their younger sister who is more than ten years apart in age .

——Should be a good brother, right?

Occasionally, passers-by who notice them will have such relief.

Probably because someone was leading her, the little girl didn't look at the road the whole time, and kept staring at the floor tiles to ensure that her feet could step on the middle of each floor tile accurately, as if she was treating the piano keys seriously.

But soon her attention was diverted.

Compared with the floor tiles only in light gray and dark gray, children still prefer the colorful street scenes and the display windows with all kinds of colorful products.

For a super-large city that takes 10 minutes to complete a circle around the city while driving the first EVA machine at full speed, there is no doubt that there is a clear gap between the economic development and urban planning of different regions in the city. .

Some places are full of feasting and feasting, while others are no different from ordinary cities.

Unlike Zhenmecho and Nishoricho, two seaside areas that are often active, Ikebukuro, which is bustling with people, is not an exaggeration for Alice to say that it is just unpacked Lego blocks.

Although Alice likes to go out for a walk by herself, she is not so playful that she likes to run around.

Except for the time when she was dragged to the racetrack by the big Doberman Fuhesher, her range of activities has always been very small, almost a circle with a radius of half an hour walking on her chubby legs.

Even though she is a little home-loving child in essence, she does not recognize the bed, does not have insomnia, and does not have a bad sleep when going out, but every morning when she wakes up, she can see the familiar ceiling, see the face of Anna or Izumo, smell The faint sunshine and the smell of detergent on my little quilt are the reasons why the little cat's eye snail Alice, who is lying on the sand, can get out of the bed and start a good day.

So far, the farthest door Alice has ever traveled is the large shopping mall with an ocean ball amusement park that Kusanagi took her to when she first came to Barbara.

The not so good effect of staying in a small place is that although this little bun is soft and cute, he is also a little bumpkin.

She was exclaiming when she passed the moving cotton candy car, saying that she would help her father run errands later and wanted to buy a cotton candy to reward herself.

She exclaimed when she saw someone else's Lolita dress, saying that she had never seen such a beautiful and gorgeous dress.

She exclaimed when she found other people's faces painted with weird paintings, saying that everyone is so weird and funny.

Even passing Wan ○ specialty stores——

She was still exclaiming.

The number one informant in Ikebukuro is rare because he feels ashamed of being a "human being".

If you insist on describing it, this feeling can probably be summed up as.

— shame.

Invincible shame.

"Wow! How come there are so many transformation devices of Kamen Rider here!" The little bumpkin Zhou Fang Alice wanted to slap her face on the glass window, squeezing her nose like a pig's. look.

The clerk inside saw her and walked to the window, smiling and tapping her nose through a layer of glass.

"Brother Isaiah, do you watch Kamen Rider?"

Just when Orihara Lin also wanted to take two steps back to keep a distance from her and pretend "I just happened to stop here and have nothing to do with this little girl", Alice suddenly turned her head and asked him crisply.

Orihara Rinya: "..."

He hadn't seen Kamen Rider and couldn't speak.

As for the name "Isaiah", he also casually made up the pronunciation of his own name to Alice.

The real Isaiah is the prophet who served God Jehovah in the Bible Old Testament.

And Orihara Rinya's identity in the world is an intelligence dealer who has been in Ikebukuro.

Although his real job and hobby in this world is to observe humans, observing a human baby who screams and fusses the whole time is completely out of his plan.

Orihara Rin also silently half-dragged and half-dragged Alice's back collar in the eyes of the people around him, and tore away the little bumpkin that was like an octopus on other people's glass.

Before being dragged away, Alice reluctantly murmured "Ah", and then looked back at the Wan○ store that was drifting away.

"I want to look at it for a while..." Alice murmured softly, and looked back at the Wan○ specialty store where the products in the window could no longer be seen.

"But didn't you say you still have to go to the supermarket?" Orihara Lin also let go of her collar, and didn't hold her anymore.As he spoke, he quickened his pace: "It will be dark in a while? If you don't go home before then, will your family worry?"

He was right.

Alice, who was convinced, trotted behind him, trying to grab the hem of his clothes, but he didn't know why he kept dodging her.

"Wait for me!"

Alice, who noticed something was wrong, stood straight on the spot, and shouted behind him: "I can't walk anymore!"

Orihara Lin also looked back at her.

Seeing him stop, Alice immediately ran up again.

Seeing this, Orihara Lin also stepped forward again.

Alice was tired after chasing him for a while—she took the tram alone for two hours today, and it took her a lot of energy to stay awake in the shaking carriage, and then she got lost on the streets of Ikebukuro For half an hour, if it weren't for the usual habit of walking, and the fact that he was forced by curiosity when he came to a strange place, Xiaodou Chai would have made a fuss to find a place to lie down and rest.

This time she was not allowed to yell, and Orihara Lin also consciously stopped.

After about a minute, when Alice had almost had enough rest, he turned his head again and walked forward without saying a word.

After repeating this four or five times, Alice finally couldn't help it: "I won't go with you!"

The little girl shouted angrily: "You walked so fast on purpose! You took me a long way on purpose! I saw the supermarket gate twice! You still took me to the front!"

As she yelled, the corners of her eyes began to get wet.

——I actually noticed it.

—It's nice not to be a total chump.

Orihara also smiled at her.At this moment, he was completely sure that this little girl was indeed the type who could easily trust others.

It was the same when he followed him all the way just now, his appearance was almost the same as that of a puppy who trusted humans wholeheartedly.

— polite, compassionate, innocent enough, and probably never been lied to.

— Her family must love her very much.

——It is a flower bud raised in a greenhouse.

Orihara Lin also thought about it with a smile.

- Rare objects available for observation.

——Because such children are usually well protected, and they are less likely to appear alone on the streets of Ikebukuro.

"Sorry, sorry, I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't notice..." Orihara Lin also softened his voice, knelt down and apologized to her with his hands clasped together.

"Actually, my puppy died yesterday...I usually take it for a walk in this area...I suddenly remembered it just now, so..."

"Actually, I want to help others because I want to keep myself busy and forget about it temporarily..." He sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I'm so bad that I can't even lead the way..."

With this soft sigh, Alice's tightly wrinkled brows, which were pouting, slowly untied.

"Y-It's not that bad..."

The little girl who didn't know that it was not allowed to walk dogs in this downtown area easily believed his nonsense, and because she had raised and lost puppies herself, she felt more and more sympathetic to the young man in front of her.

"Don't be too sad..." Alice said, wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.Then she thought of her Xiaobai and Dahei who would never come back again, and felt sad again.

Although Izumo explained to her why Xiaobai and Dahei could no longer be kept, Alice was still sad for a long time at that time-after all, she took care of them for a hundred days.

She carefully glanced at Orihara Rinya, and felt that this face that had become a little irritating just now was pleasing to the eye again - even more pleasing to the eye than before.

"I'll buy you a bottle of strawberry milk later. You won't be sad after drinking it, okay?"

Alice asked him in a low voice.

"……Um."

Knowing that his credit rating in the other party's heart has risen by another level, Orihara Rin also nodded obediently, "Regroup".

Seeing his pretty face glow again, Alice also became a little happier.

After that, the old and the young happily found everything Alice wanted to buy in the supermarket—very light and small items such as bags of curry and instant coffee—and were happy again. Excitedly left the supermarket.

When I walked out of the gate of the supermarket, the sky was already dark, and when I looked up, I could see the unhealthy pink-gray clouds in the sky made by industrial pollution.

Orihara Rin also inserted the straw into the milk carton, took a sip, and almost vomited out.

——What the hell? ?

——It’s too bad to drink, isn’t it? ?

Taking advantage of Alice's inattention, he conveniently put the strawberry milk that he had only taken a sip on the advertising light board on the street.

——Well, this is very immoral.

He knows it all.

He also knew that Alice, who had just come out of the supermarket, had the last 1500 yen left on her body.

The remaining 1500 yen, 500 yen is used to buy cotton candy to take home, and the remaining 1000 yen cannot be moved, otherwise there will be no money for the car.

"Boss, please take a cotton candy."

With Alice who asked again to go back to the cotton candy cart, Orihara Lin also helped her get the cheapest 500 yen original flavor cotton candy on the cart, and did not ask the boss to pack it in a transparent bag.

——The expectation value is full, and there is only a little money left, and the trust in him is enough.

- All conditions are met.

Orihara Lin also smiled.Then, when Alice happily held up the cotton candy and stared at the cotton-like soft candy thread like a baby, she quietly stretched out her leg and tripped her.

"Oh, Alice, why are you so ignorant of the road!" Orihara Rin also "hastily" ran over to help her up, "Are you all right?"

"Marshmallow..." Alice quickly got up from the ground, ignoring her sore knee.

But the marshmallow she was thinking about had already collapsed in half because it was thrown to the ground.

"Ugh..."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Orihara immediately comforted her: "It's okay Alice, don't cry."

He gently picked up the part of the marshmallow that didn't touch the ground with a bamboo stick, and said to Alice, "It's still edible."

Alice stared suspiciously at the marshmallow in his hand, hesitating not to take it.

"Look, this part is not dirty." He said, turning the bamboo stick in his hand.Although more than half of it is missing, the remaining bits of sugar are still white and clean. "I'm really worried, you can still wash it. After washing it, it will be clean."

Alice heard the words and held back her tears.She still wanted to taste the taste of this soft ball of sugar.

"really?"

"Of course." Orihara Lin also spoke convincingly, almost smacking his chest, "You are so kind to me, why should I lie to you? Right?"

Alice sniffed her nose and gave a small "hmm".

She looked around and quickly found a faucet set up on the side of the road to provide direct drinking water for passers-by.

Alice stood on tiptoe.

Alice turned on the tap.

Alice put the marshmallow in her hand under the clear water.

Alice rubbed the marshmallow in her hand.

then--

"Marshmallow……!"

She anxiously stared at the smaller and smaller sweet white cloud in her hand, and fell into a state of extreme bewilderment and helplessness.

In such a situation, she could only turn to the people around her for help—Orihara Rinya.

But on the other side's face, I saw an undisguised smile.

Orihara Lin also suddenly burst out laughing.

Amidst his unscrupulous laughter, Alice finally realized belatedly—she had been cheated.

Marshmallows cannot be washed with water at all.

After realizing this, the people and things in front of her eyes were instantly blurred by tears.

However, in the next second, a vending machine suddenly fell from the sky, causing Alice to hold back her tears for the second time today...

With the dim light of the sky, the teary-eyed Alice saw a tall man with blond hair and sunglasses appearing more than ten meters behind her.

Shizuo Heiwajima's clenched fist was full of veins. Just when he didn't want to and could no longer suppress his anger because of "Rinya Orihara, this dead flea appeared on the streets of Ikebukuro again", this possessor who could easily lift a A monster with strange power from a vending machine, suddenly felt his leg was being hugged by something small, soft and light...

"I, Izumo!!!"

The "thing" that was hugging his leg buried its face in his leg and yelled, and then began to cry.

Shizuo Heiwashima: "..."

Izumo? ? ?

who? ? ?
