Chapter 219 Maki finally discovered the truth [please vote]
The short-haired girl who was supposed to go in to inquire about the situation stopped abruptly after hearing the noise coming from inside.
Haruno?
Is Suguha talking to Haruno on the phone?
Huh. But why?
Maki Miyazawa stared at the only closed compartment door in confusion, as if trying to get some answer.
Soon, the words she wanted to hear came out from inside.
"Well, I just wanted to ask you where you are now."
"It's nothing, I just want to meet you, okay?"
"There are some problems. Hey, am I okay now?"
“It’s just a little uncomfortable.”
Esaki Suguha's obviously not quite right tone kept coming from inside.
Although he couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, Maki Miyazawa had an inexplicable intuition that the other party must be talking to Haruno Sawayama.
Judging from the content of this conversation, Haruno is probably concerned about Suguha's situation. After all, Suguha's tone sounds very wrong.
Concern didn't seem to matter. After all, she had this kind of relationship. Even if they didn't, Suguha and Haruno knew each other and could be considered friends.
It’s normal for you to express a few more words of concern after hearing your friend’s obviously disappointed tone.
What made Maki Miyazawa feel unusual was that in this situation, even if Suguha wanted to seek psychological comfort from others, it shouldn't be Haruno.
Is their relationship that good? ?
Maki Miyazawa felt something was not right, so he decided to hide aside and eavesdrop.
At this moment, inside the station in Bunkyo District.
Haruno Sawayama held his mobile phone in one hand and the drink he just bought in the other.
Hearing the obviously frustrated voice on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but frown.
"Did your family say something to you again, Suguha?"
He couldn't help but care a little more.
No wonder he thought too much. After hearing this news, Suguha seemed to be even more deeply shocked than when she first arrived in Kyoto.
What happened?
"It's not the family's fault."
Suguha Esaki on the other end of the phone was obviously looking haggard.
"Anyway, can we meet in the afternoon?"
"Okay, I'm near the station now. Wherever you are, I'll find you." Haruno Sawayama replied immediately.
"I'm eating with someone else, but I'm almost finished."
"Which place?"
“Chiyoda Ward.”
Later, Esaki Suguha reported an address.
After keeping this in mind, Sawayama Haruno quickly said: "I'll go over right away, wait for me a moment."
"good"
The call was disconnected.
Looking at the gray page, Sawayama Haruno's thoughts were a little confused.
Everything's fine, what's going on with Suguha Esaki?
Sure enough, the family members still complained about it. When they were in Kyoto before, the other party also revealed that because of traveling to Kyoto without permission, they would definitely be complained about by the family after returning home.
What's more, there is still a blind date going on.
He felt that he had to go to Naoto Esaki as soon as possible to resolve the internal affairs of the Esaki family as soon as possible, otherwise the impact on Suguha would be too great if things continued like this.
After Haruno Sawayama made up his mind, he was ready to take the train first, but things seemed to be going up again and again.
After taking two steps, the phone rang again.
This time it was a call from Feng Shiori.
Sawayama Haruno's footsteps stopped abruptly. Looking at the name that kept ringing, he hesitated for a moment and chose to pick it up.
"Shiori, what's wrong??"
"Haruno!"
Feng Shizhi's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
In most cases, the other party speaks in a very calm tone, making it difficult to hear what she is thinking in her heart.
But this time, her anxious mood was so conspicuous that people had to pay attention.
"Me me me"
Feng Shizhi said incoherently: "My house seems to have been invaded. The door is open and the house is in a mess."
"??"
Zeshan Haruno was confused.
Is there a burglar in your home?
"Are you okay?"
After being stunned for a moment, Haruno Sawayama quickly reacted and asked with concern: "Have you called the police? Did you lose anything important? Where is your mother's necklace?"
"Xiang, the necklace is still there. But, the notebook and tablet are gone."
"As long as the important belongings are there, it's fine. Electronic equipment and the like can only be reported to the police."
Sawayama Haruno suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the island country is considered safe in the world, it is inevitable that there will be cases of theft, not to mention that the place where Feng Shiori lives is a very cheap rental apartment.
Although it is a pity to lose the electronic equipment, fortunately, my mother’s belongings are still there. "No, it's not!"
Seeing that Haruno Sawayama didn't seem to understand what he meant, Mine Shiori suddenly became anxious.
"Tablet, tablet. It also contains the contents of your manuscript. If someone hacks the phone and posts it online, it will be troublesome."
Hearing the anxious words in his ears, Haruno Sawayama finally reacted, and his expression suddenly changed.
Yes, there is still a copy of his manuscript in Feng Shiori's tablet.
If someone actually flashes the phone and unlocks it, it won't be a problem after reading the manuscript, but if it spreads, the problem will be serious.
He had just signed the contract with Kodansha, and thanks to his excellent brain memory, he was now very clear about the "penalties for leaking manuscripts without permission" contained therein.
That was a very fatal breach of contract, and both he and Feng Shiori would face legal criminal liability.
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno no longer hesitated and said immediately: "I understand, I will come over later."
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
The matter with Mine Shiori was so serious that he had to go over there. If not, he would have to call back Riho Morikawa who had just separated not long ago.
But the situation on Esaki Suguha's side also made him a little worried.
You must know that it was mentioned in the last system mission that Suguha Esaki might die.
Although this task has been completed, he does not dare to bet that the other party will not have the same crisis in the future.
After weighing it internally for a while, Haruno Sawayama took out his phone again and sent a text message to Maki Miyazawa.
He couldn't get away now and couldn't go to Suguha by himself, but Maki had a day off today, so it was just fine to go there.
Although Sawayama Haruno also knows very well that at this time, he should go to Suguha himself, but there is no better way at the moment. The only option is to accompany Mine Shiori to report the theft to the police as soon as possible, and then contact Kodansha here.
After taking care of these things, he could take time to comfort Suguha Esaki.
But before that, I can only ask Maki first.
Although there is a possibility of being exposed, he doesn't care so much now. At worst, he will find a way to explain it later.
Datian District, outside the restroom of a Western restaurant.
The short-haired girl with a cool temperament and charming appearance was staring at the information on the screen of her mobile phone, in a daze.
It was a message from her boyfriend.
The strange thing is that her boyfriend actually asked her to pay attention to another girl who might be in a bad mood.
Why, my boyfriend will know that the other person is not in a good mood.
Maki Miyazawa pursed his lips, and his expression gradually became complicated.
She heard the sound of flushing coming from the bathroom, and when she realized that Suguha Esaki was about to come out, she put her phone away and walked outside without thinking too much.
After taking just a few steps, she hesitated again.
"There's no need to lie to yourself, right?"
Maki Miyazawa stared at the tips of his shoes and murmured as if talking to himself.
She's just too lazy to think about it, she's not really stupid
She could hear the name Ezaki Suguha shouted in the bathroom very clearly, and the sudden message from Haruno also confirmed some of her inner conjectures.
After all, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
In addition, the other party's itinerary for a business trip to Kyoto a few days ago was exactly the same as Esaki Suguha's.
Combined with the strange appearance of the other party just now, and all the clues added together, no matter how slow a person is, they can find out the clues.
Is the girl who tried to seduce Haruno somewhere she didn't know turned out to be Ezaki Suguha?
Maki Miyazawa pursed his lips, not knowing what to do.
The accident happened so suddenly that she didn't even feel the thought of being angry yet.
It feels very strange, things seem to develop beyond my imagination without even realizing it.
Although I knew that Haruno was in contact with other girls, I never expected that it would be Suguha.
Maki Miyazawa was a little confused.
But at this moment, a trembling, hesitant and confused female voice sounded from behind.
"Maki."
It's Suguha Ezaki.
She came out of the bathroom and turned around to see Maki Miyazawa's back.
The other party stood not far from the bathroom door with a gesture of "leaving". Esaki Suguha just thought about it for a moment, and instantly guessed a certain possibility, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"That, that."
Looking at her friend who had his back turned to her, she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
It was as if something was stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"oh"
Maki Miyazawa finally turned around.
It's just that her expression is a bit complicated. It's neither angry nor disappointed, but it's even less likely to be happy.
Probably that kind of surprised look of "how could it be you?"
"Well just now, Haruno sent me a message, saying that you might be a little uncomfortable."
Maki Miyazawa pretended to recall the content of the text message, and slid his finger across the phone screen in a meaningless manner.
"It's really weird. I'm obviously the one staying with Suguha, right?"
Her eyes kept wandering back and forth, and she said softly: "It turns out that Haruno seemed to know Suguha's situation better than me. He didn't say anything more. He just asked me to come over to the place near the restaurant."
"Really, you should make up a proper reason and tell me at this time."
"I, I am actually very easy to deceive."
