Umemiya never expected that since meeting Kyo Sosuke in the kitchen, she had not seen him for several days.
I didn't see him get up in the morning.
No one was seen during the meal.
There was no answer when he knocked on his bedroom door.
Even Yuki, who has been staying in the orphanage, has never seen him.
If it weren't for the fact that the durian bread placed at his door every day wouldn't disappear, Umemiya almost thought something had happened to Kyo Sosuke.
If this continues, when will he be able to bring him down to have dinner with everyone.
Ume Gongichi, who was secretly melancholy, went to Dongfeng Shopping Street to help as usual, but this time, he called his "good friend" Hiiragi Touma.
Touma Hiiragi is a boy with short black hair who likes to comb his hair back. He has shark teeth and is good at fighting, so he looks a bit fierce.
But it doesn't matter, he has already said hello to the uncles and aunts on the street in advance.
I believe that the enthusiastic uncles and aunts will definitely win the Hiiragi Denma.
"Hey, Xiaoyi, you are here today."
"Ah, this is Xiaoyi's new friend, he looks good~"
In an instant, several uncles and aunts surrounded Hiiragi Toma, and one of them patted Hiiragi Noma on the back heartily:
"Young man, you are in good physical condition. You seem to have exercised well."
Others also spoke:
"He is indeed Xiao Yi's friend, and he looks as energetic as him."
"Young man, what kind of bread do you like?"
……
There were a few more snacks in Hiiragi Touma's arms. In his past life experience, he rarely had the opportunity to face the kindness of his elders, and these kindnesses were just because he was from Mei Gong.
Facing these kind eyes, Hiiragi's eyes dodge unconsciously, his face turned slightly pale, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and even started to stumble when he spoke:
"I...I...I..."
It took a long time before he remembered Mei Gongyi next to him and quickly asked for help with his eyes.
Ume Gongyi stared at this scene, his blue eyes clearer than the sky at this time. After receiving Hiiragi Toma's request for help, he squeezed in calmly, stood next to Hiiragi Toma, and helped one by one. He dealt with enthusiastic uncles and aunts.
It wasn't until the uncles and aunts dispersed that Hiiragi Touma breathed a sigh of relief, his face returned to normal, and he reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
I almost had to take stomach medicine.
Then he immediately glared at Mei Gongyi: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Umemiya patted Hiiragi Touma on the shoulder: "After entering the wind chime, I will come to this street often. What if I'm not good at dealing with the people here?"
Touma Hiiragi: ...Thank you for reminding me, I'm starting to feel stomachache already.
"Xiao Yi, can you help me move these goods into the store?" A middle-aged woman shouted at Mei Gongyi from a distance. She touched her waist: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yi, I just put the goods in the store two days ago." My waist is flashing, I’m going to trouble you again.”
"You're welcome, Mrs. Yamada, I'll be right back."
"Let's go, get on your horse, and let's go help together."
After Mei Gongyi shouted something loudly, he dropped a few words and ran over first.
Hiiragi looked at his back on his horse, as if he saw a bright light illuminating the dark road ahead. After he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, he followed him.
As the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on this street. When the lanterns first come on, a crescent moon slowly climbs up into the sky.
Ume Gongyi and Hiiragi Touma have just finished their work.
The two of them were walking home together: "How was it? Is it not bad?"
"It's really good." Busy and happy.
"By the way, get on your horse and do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Find me someone."
"There is actually someone you can't find?"
Hiiragi Touma was very surprised. He knew that the reason why he knew Ume Gongyi was because he could always find him anytime and anywhere.
Whether it's in a fight or when you're alone.
This person always comes out of nowhere.
It happened so often that it once bored him. Unexpectedly, there was someone he couldn't find.
"The time is too short, I want to find him before entering the wind chime."
Umemiya took out her cell phone, clicked on the photo, and handed it to Hiiragi Touma.
Hiiragi Touma took it and took a look. It was a sideways photo. In the center of the photo was a man about his own age, with short black hair, silver eyes, very white skin, and a slender figure. He was wearing black home clothes. The background of the photo is in the kitchen. He is standing in front of the refrigerator, opening its door. His eyes are not looking at the camera at all, and his hands look a little blurry due to his movements.
The photos were obviously taken secretly.
The location is also obviously at home.
He looked around at Mei Gongyi with a bewildered look.
Mei Gong tilted his head:?
The blue, drooping dog eyes actually have a somewhat innocent delusion.
Touma Hiiragi would not be deceived by illusions, and taught him like a kid who went astray: "You actually followed someone else's home and took secret photos?"
"Do you know that stalking is illegal?"
"You actually kept the incriminating evidence..."
Seeing that the lectures turned into random thoughts, Mei Gongyi quickly stopped him and said:
"Wait a minute, you misunderstood."
Hiiragi stopped lecturing, folded his hands on his chest, and cast a look in his eyes, saying "I'm listening to your quibbles."
As soon as Mei Gong recalled the random thoughts that had just hit her face, she quickly pulled out the thread and started her own excuse, ah no, excuse:
"First of all, this is indeed a candid filming."
"You..."
As the thoughts were about to begin, Mei Gongyi quickly finished the rest of his words:
"But this is my house."
Hiiragi Touma:?
Umemiya had no intention of hiding the fact that she came from a children's welfare home in front of her friends. After telling the matter in an understatement, she quickly told the story about Kyo Sosuke.
Hiiragi Touma didn't care, but the focus fell on:
"So, it's been so long since Kyo Sosuke has been here, but you haven't had a meal together?"
It was written all over his eyes: "You are a bit neglectful as a brother."
Mei Gongyi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Ha...ha...ha, isn't it because we haven't found the opportunity yet?"
Thinking that there are fights everywhere here, and many people like to fight with knives, Hiiragi Touma understands very well: "If your brother really wants to thoroughly implement his ideas, then it is normal that you can't find anyone."< br>
Speaking of this, Mei Gongyi was worried, his blue eyes full of worry:
"Many people among my people have heard about this, and I believe other gangs have heard about it too."
"I act too high-profile. I'm afraid something will happen to him, so I want to ask you and your brothers for help to find him as soon as possible."
Hiiragi Touma's expression was serious: "Send me the photo."
"Huh? You agreed?" Mei Gongyi said in surprise.
Hiiragi Touma's black eyes narrowed slightly, as if he encountered something that interested him, and said frankly: "To be honest, I am quite curious about your brother."
Umemiya looked at Hiiragi Toma's serious expression and smiled knowingly: "Ah, I'm quite curious too."
……
A few days later, Mei Gongyi, who was helping out at Dongfeng Shopping Street, suddenly received a phone call.
"Hey, get on the horse."
"Mei Gongyi, the person has been found. He is being beaten by a group of people." The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely serious, and it sounded like the matter was urgent.
"? Send me the address and I'll come right away."
"Okay."
As soon as Mei Gong hung up the phone, she quickly received an address. He finished his work neatly and said eagerly:
"Sorry, Mrs. Yamamoto, I have something to do."
"Don't worry, I can do the rest by myself. You go quickly."
"Okay."
Mrs. Yamamoto shouted to Umemiya's running figure: "Protect yourself, Koichi."
"Okay~"
