me, the protagonist

In the general concept, grades are the spokesperson of students' IQ.

Yamabuki Sakura looks natural, and sometimes acts like a nerveless child, but he is actually a smart child.

It's just that she put all her energy into her idol career, relying on the surprise tutoring and quizzing the week before the exam all the year round to get through the final week.

Only she was a little concerned about this matter, so in the face of Matsuda Jinpei's words, Yamabuki Sakura felt an arrow hit her knee, and she was petrified all of a sudden.

At this time, in the hall where people were coming and going, a young man looked around, saw Matsuda's back, his eyes lit up, and he came towards this side.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with calling me in such a hurry?" Kenji Hagiwara patted his colleague on the shoulder, speaking in a very peaceful tone.

"Oh, you're here, Hagiwara," Matsuda turned slightly to reveal the person he was blocking, and motioned Kenji Hagiwara to look at the chair:

"Do you know this little girl?"

Yamabuki Sakura: "That..." She is 17 years old.

"Hey, who are you talking about?"

Although Hagiwara Akiji has a good relationship with the opposite sex, among the people he knows, there are very few people whom Matsuda calls "little girl".

Puzzled, he turned his eyes to Yamabuki Sakura, and the two looked at each other.

"...So it's Sakura."

Seeing the familiar glowing special effects around the girl with cherry hair, Kenji Hagiwara called Yamabuki Sakura by her nickname familiarly and intimately, and bent down to touch her head with a smile:

"Grow up well, let me think about it... Sakura should be 13 years old this year, and she is studying in junior high school?"

"Huh?" Matsuda Jinping said, "This guy should only be twelve this year, right?"

"No, no," Kenji Hagiwara shook his head and retorted, "When I met Sakura, she was only six years old. That was seven years ago, so she should be 13 years old now."

"It's impossible," Matsuda Jinpei retorted. "When I met this guy three years ago, she said she was nine years old, so she should be twelve now."

"If I met a six-year-old Sakura, Kojinhei, you met Sakura four years after me, right?"

Kenji Hagiwara counted the time, and quickly discovered the contradiction: "When Kojinhei met Sakura, she should be ten years old, how could she be nine years old?"

Matsuda thought about it coolly, "Let's be old."

"Yes, that makes sense," Hagiwara said with a relaxed smile after solving the "problem", and said to Yamabuki Sakura:

"Did Sakura go to junior high school this year?"

Sakura Yamabuki sat down on the plastic chair, quietly peeked at the two tall young men in front of her eyes, and whispered:

"Well, I'm already in high school, I'm 17 years old..."

Hagiwara Kenji's smile froze on his face: "..."

Matsuda Jinpei simply sneered, looking at Yamabuki Sakura's petite figure: "You, Seventeen?"

The three words are full of disdain.

"..." Yamabuki Sakura clenched her fists: "Tomorrow I will grow to 1.9 meters."

System: "...It doesn't have to be."

Compared to Matsuda Jinpei, Hagiwara Kenji is much more serious. He asked Yamabuki Sakura: "Hey, is Sakura really 17 years old?"

Yamabuki Sakura nodded vigorously: "It's true!"

She handed over the printed student ID card she got when she was taking notes, on which "17 years old" was clearly printed in the age column.

Holding their student ID cards, Matsuda Jinpei and Ogiwara Kenji looked at each other, feeling something strange.

In fact, according to common sense, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei would not live to this day.

The two of them were classmates when they were studying at the police academy, and later entered the explosives. Explosives. Objects disposal class together.

Seven years ago Hagiwara Kenji was assigned to dispose of a bomb planted in the Kubado building.

Originally, the police met the conditions put forward by the gangsters. The gangsters who planted the bomb had already stopped the countdown to the bomb. Almost everyone relaxed their vigilance, thinking that it could be dismantled slowly.

The countdown to the bomb started again.

Hagiwara, who was not wearing an explosion-proof suit at the time, fled in the opposite direction alone holding the bomb after letting everyone escape.

Plastic, plastic, and bombs can affect a wide area, but Hagiwara thinks that even if the extra distance is only one meter, he will try his best to win it for his colleagues.

After being separated from the team members, when Hagiwara ran around the corner of the corridor alone, what he saw was unbelievable:

In the building where the residents had been evacuated, there was actually a little girl with a schoolbag on her back, her pink hair was messed up by the little yellow hat, and she was looking at him curiously.

What's going on, didn't you say that they have all been evacuated? !

Hagiwara stopped on the spot with the bomb in his arms, not knowing where to go, the little girl had already happily ran towards him.

"Stop! Don't come over!!"

Kenji Hagiwara subconsciously stopped, but the girl's short legs ran very fast, bouncing over like a chicken, raised her head and said:

"Big brother, I lost Sakura's key and can't get in. What should I do now?"

That girl was so beautiful that I had never seen before, with pink and jade-carved features, big cherry-colored eyes that were as clear as washing, and because she was too cute, she was shining brightly around her.

My heart melts when I look at her.

Although she is still young, she is already incredibly beautiful.

But what was even more incredible was that Kenji Hagiwara looked down at the bomb in his arms.

The countdown on the LCD screen narrowly stopped at "00:00:01", and if there was another second, he and the little dumpling in front of him would be fried into meat sauce.

Hagiwara, who narrowly escaped death, was covered in cold sweat, with cold hands and feet.

"Why doesn't big brother breathe?" Pink-haired Xiaotuanzi tugged at the hem of his clothes, a little puzzled: "People will die if they don't breathe, you have to inhale like this - and then spit it out!"

She gave a demonstration to Hagiwara, but because the demonstration was too big, she was choked.

After being disturbed by this episode, Hagiwara finally regained his composure.

"Thank you," he gently bent down and touched the girl's head. Seeing her squinting her eyes comfortably like a kitten, he couldn't help laughing, and quickly said seriously:

"Big brother still has something to do, because it's a bit dangerous, can Sakura stay away from big brother first?"

Hagiwara has only one thought in mind now, which is to go back to the toolbox and dismantle the bomb.

He suffered a loss once and never dared to take it lightly.

He thought about finding someone to send the little girl out first, and then dismantling the bomb himself.

However, the girl named "Sakura" glanced at the things in his arms, shook her head, and said seriously: "I can't go, if I go, the bomb will go 'boom'."

Like other children, she uses many onomatopoeic words and gestures with her little hands, and calls her own name in a childish voice, but she is cuter than other little angels.

But what she said just now is not what a primary school student can say.

Kenji Hagiwara asked, "What does Sakura mean?"

Sakura Yamabuki explained to him earnestly: "The gods will bless Sakura, so the bomb will not explode next to Sakura, and the big brother can dismantle it slowly."

She pulled Hagiwara Kenji to the direction he came from, and said very maturely: "Let's sit down and take it apart slowly."

"Oh no."

All this happened so inexplicably, Hagiwara Kenji was led back to the tool box by Sakura in a daze.

For some reason, the other team members who had left hadn’t come back yet, and the sirens could no longer be heard outside. This corridor seemed to be placed in another space.

Hagiwara Kenji suppressed the feeling that something was wrong in his heart, and focused on the bomb.

The counting on the LCD screen still shows "1 second" honestly. The structure of this bomb is too complicated, and it will take more time for Hagiwara to dismantle it by himself.

Hagiwara Kenji has reservations about Sakura's remarks.

But the little girl was sitting next to him. He didn't dare to delay any longer. He stamped out the cigarette butts on the ground and started working against the clock.

The child named Sakura sat obediently curled up beside her, with a card and key hanging around her neck, and the key ring was obviously empty.

"Why did Sakura lose the key? This kind of thing is so strange!"

The little girl beside her muttered softly: "It shouldn't have happened at all..."

"This kind of thing happened to everyone when they were young," Hagiwara, who dismantled the bomb, did not forget to comfort her casually: "Just don't be careless next time, Sakura."

"That's not true," Xiao Sakura retorted in a low voice, "Xiao Sakura is the center of the world, and God has always taken good care of me. This kind of thing shouldn't happen."

"Master Shenming just said that something went wrong in Sakura's world, so I have to wait here for a while," the little girl tilted her head and said to herself:

"What's the problem? Because Sakura lost the key?"

The difficulty of Hagiwara's work gradually increased, Sakura may be worried about disturbing him, so her voice became smaller and smaller.

Later, Hagiwara's attention was completely absorbed in the bomb disposal, and he was so concentrated that he couldn't hear the little girl's voice.

When Hagiwara finally dismantled the bomb, heaved a sigh of relief and looked aside, the girl who was sitting next to him disappeared.

"...Those 10 minutes were like a dream. Afterwards, I checked the residents' information, but I didn't find Sakura,"

Hagiwara Kenji showed a gentle smile: "If I didn't survive, I would have thought I was dreaming of Otohime (*Princess Ryugu in Japanese legend)."

"What are you talking about Otohime?" Matsuda Jinpei looked down at Yamabuki Sakura:

"This guy suddenly ran out on the Ferris wheel, saying that the spirit behind it is almost the same."

Matsuda Jinpei ran into the same gang that planted a bomb in the Kubato building three years ago.

This time the criminals also prepared two bombs.One of them was installed on the Ferris wheel, and it was arrogantly displayed on the countdown LCD screen:

In the last three seconds of the countdown, another bomb's installation location will appear on the LCD screen.

If you want to get a hint, you can only wait until the last three seconds.

But it takes only three seconds to defuse a bomb.

In order to protect the lives of the people, Matsuda had already decided to sacrifice himself, and in the last three seconds, sent a text message to other colleagues.

But while he was smoking and waiting, a girl coughed in the ferris wheel cabin.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Matsuda Jinpei felt that he had seen a ghost at the time.

Each compartment of the Ferris wheel is only that big, and the seats under the chairs are all sealed.How could a person suddenly appear when he didn't know?

Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help trembling at that time.

Fortunately, it was daytime and there were no other people present, otherwise the image of the cool guy for many years would be ruined in one go.

The culprit crawled out in disgrace from under the opposite seat, and the iron plate that sealed it was like paper, and fell off as soon as she pushed it.

It was a young pink-haired girl who looked like she was in the second or third grade of elementary school.

After she climbed out, she acted like no one was there, shaking her head and patting her body like a kitten flicking water, and the small Ferris wheel compartment was filled with dust, followed by bright lights.

"Could this guy be some kind of spirit, why is it still glowing?"

Matsuda Jinpei stared at her and thought, the smoke almost burned his hand.

After the girl climbed out, she still reluctantly looked under the bench: "It's strange, why is Xiaoka missing?"

Matsuda Jinpei: ""Xiaoka"? "

WTF?

The girl nodded, and said seriously: "It's Atari's close partner Xiaoka! This limited edition pendant is very expensive!"

After she finished speaking, she said in frustration: "How could I lose something? This happened for the second time in my life, it's unbelievable..."

"Wait," Sakura Yamabuki, who had been listening to the two police officers just now, stood up from her chair and said excitedly:

"I remembered! It's the time I forgot my keys at school and the time I went out to play and left my card on the Ferris wheel, right?!"

"Although I got the same Xiaoka doll later, I haven't found the original one."

She sighed heavily, and said sadly:

"How did it happen?"

Matsuda Jinpei: ...

Hagiwara Kenji: ...

Good guy, if you don’t remember the bomb, you have to rely on what you lost when you were a child to help you remember, right?
