Chapter 200 90: Cranberry Biscuits
Beside the hospital bed, Kyoko Shirai opened her eyes, and the eyes revealed were already filled with turbulent darkness.
She took a deep breath. The black mist that had taken so much effort to suppress in the past was now so well-behaved that it automatically receded and returned to normal. Even the covered eye was no longer needed. No longer suppress darkness and sin, because they are already blended into each other.
Okamura Tokusei on the hospital bed trembled and opened his eyes with tears pouring out.
He looked around in a daze, and finally his eyes stopped on Shirai's face, and his face instantly showed extremely regretful and self-blame.
"I, I am really wrong, I am guilty! I have sinned so much! Master Shirai!"
He suddenly cried bitterly, as if he was infected by Shirai's ability, and he completely changed his ways.
Shirai watched his performance quietly, Gujing Wubo.
She didn’t know whether the other party was really awake or just acting, but she only knew that the dead would not be resurrected and sins needed to be judged.
"Perhaps all this is retribution for the absurd things that happened before! Master Shirai, God Amaterasu must have sent you here to let me start a new life and try my best to be a good person who repays society and save more people from suffering. ——Ahem!" Okamura burst into tears, covered his heart, and started coughing crazily when he got excited.
The ward door was opened, and the subordinate guarding the door looked in nervously.
"Get out! Didn't you see that Shirai-sama and I were talking about something?!" Okamura's face turned red due to coughing, and he pointed at the subordinate who opened the door and scolded him.
The subordinate apologized hurriedly, and then quickly and quietly closed the door.
"Hey, I feel like my body has improved a lot. Shirai-sama, have I recovered?" Okamura stroked his chest, looked at Shirai and asked softly, hoping to get the chance to survive. promise.
"Your illness is too serious." The first sentence Shirai said made Okamura's heart lift, but fortunately, he also heard the next sentence, "It requires multiple treatments."< br>
"Huh" Okamura suddenly felt full of hope again, "So, it can be cured, right?"
Shirai lowered his eyes and nodded: "Yes."
Okamura's face was He couldn't suppress his smile and said in an eager tone: "Well, Master Shirai, when is the next treatment scheduled? I don't mean to rush it, I'm just afraid that my body won't be able to support it for too long. I also want to set up a charity as soon as possible. Institution, devote the rest of your life to dedication.”
“In your current condition, you can go home to recuperate. Please arrange for someone to pick me up in three days. In the past few days, you must maintain your mental state. Avoid mood swings," Shirai warned like a doctor.
"Thank you, thank you so much! If you have any instructions, Mr. Shirai, you can just tell me. Although our Okamura family is not a big family, we can still do our best, maybe we can Helped me in some places." Okamura expressed his sincere thanks.
"No need, just wait for me to come, and then you won't have to suffer anymore."
What he wanted to say has been finished, Shirai has no intention of staying to chat, nor does he mention the other party. The things in my memory left as leisurely as they came.
When Shirai left the door, Okamura's bright smile gradually faded away, and his expression showed a little hesitation, as if he was thinking about something.
"Master Okamura, Master Shirai has left."
The subordinate came back to report.
Okamura nodded: "Bring me the paper information about Shirai Kyoko you mentioned last time, keep it secret."
"Yes."
The subordinate left, Okamura Turning his head to look at the sunshine outside the window, he reached out his hand impatiently, as if he wanted to catch a ray of light full of life.
"This is extraordinary. Wonderful, wonderful, extraordinary resurrection. Maybe, this life is indeed a demon sword that has not yet awakened. However, there is still one person left, just one person left. I need to make another one with my own hands. Artwork endures, endures again.”
Special Affairs Bureau.
After Takashima came back from handling the chores, Noguchi informed Noguchi that Shirai had gone to treat Okamura.
In the entire Special Affairs Bureau, who knows Shirai the best, it is Takashima.
She had a bad feeling in her heart and found Shirai in the restaurant.
“Are you eating noodles again?” Takashima glanced at the noodles in front of her table and sat across from her.
“Well, I’m used to it.”
"Did the okonomiyaki last time taste good? It just took a while to get it back and it was cold."
"I ate it with Kondo. It was delicious. Thank you Takashima-san."
Takashima chatted tentatively and found that Shirai's mood seemed not abnormal, but unusually stable.
This is better than remaining silent.
Once upon a time, Takashima also entered this system with passionate ideals. In the end, her ambitions were wiped out step by step, and she recognized the reality. Fortunately, she met Yushi Noguchi, the leader. In the system, Noguchi has already He can be said to be the most unafraid of power. In his eyes, crimes committed by powerful people are always investigated, but in many cases the judiciary does not side with him.
"Don't forget, I promised you to eat puffer fish sashimi, but I've been busy all the time. After this, let's go together."
"Yes, definitely."
". Above, are you sure you want to join the Holy Infant Society, regard it as a new family, unite under the Holy Infant, and never abandon it?"
"I am sure!"
".You You are still young, so keep everything simple for the time being. From now on, you are a trainee member of the Holy Infant Club. When you pass the inspection, you will undergo the formal initiation ceremony with others."
Huajin Hotel, an activity room of the Holy Infant Club, a group of core members witnessed the joining of a new member.
Somewhat different from the past, this young member has already been quite popular among the members. Everyone, even the trainees, expressed a warm welcome to her joining the club. Some girls even prepared cakes with their own hands. .
Nakai Hayabusa turned a blind eye to everyone's noisy, and handed the trainee member sign with Inukai Momo's name engraved on it to Xiaotao's little hand. The latter touched and looked at it curiously. It may subvert the imagination of many outsiders. In fact, the Holy Infant Society is not serious inside. It is completely different from those sects that set up many restrictions in order to create a mysterious atmosphere and recite "classics" every day. In addition to daily homework and Sunday rituals, Apart from that, the rest of the time was quite relaxed. At least on the surface, there was no gap between the members and they cooperated sincerely.
Hirosue Ryōmiya, who came on behalf of the family, took a piece of cake, stood aside, pushed away the greasy cream, and ate it slowly.
These days, she is following the routine step by step. Apart from going to school, she is also studying the ability of [Forgery], and she has also figured out some novel gadgets.
According to the instructions of the Ninth Guardian, she no longer conducts awakening experiments, but assists Nakai Shunsha in selecting club members to join, establishing files, and examining those who are suitable for taking the pill.
Unlike in the academy, where everyone seems to be able to say a few words, in the club, she is extremely low-key and has only casual acquaintances with most people.
Although she actually doesn’t have close friendships with anyone in the academy. As far as she is concerned, she doesn’t like to socialize. In the club, she can take off her mask and only need to maintain the love in the heart of the Nine Guardians. Just work.
After eating cake for lunch, she said hello to Nakai Shunabusa, and then she left.
There were classes in the afternoon, so she took the time to come over.
Learning is still useful to her, even if the teacher teaches the teacher, she will learn her own below.
Shengying Academy, after class.
People gathered around Hirosue Ryōgu as usual, talking about some interesting things in recent times, and asking her for some inside information about Shinagawa District according to the family instructions.
“Really, I only got two days off for such a big thing.”
"You can be a volunteer for up to half a month."
"Hey~ I don't want to come into contact with those homeless people. The skin care products I use on my hands are more valuable than their lives."
>"Haha, how can you say that, they don't want to."
"Think about it, the conditions there may be difficult to even take a bath, and the water supply must be concentrated in one place, it must be extremely dirty."
In the small circle, coupled with their age as college students, many things they say are straightforward and naked.
Hirosue did not participate in it. She just maintained her standard smile and said a few words to others from time to time.
"Hirosue Ryōgu."
A voice came from the door, calling her by her full name, causing the classmates who were still in the classroom to turn their eyes curiously.
“It’s Kondo-san.”
“Why did she come to see Hirosue?”
"Who knows."
Standing at the door was Saki Kondo from another class.
Hirosue stood up and walked to the door: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Shirai asked me to give it to you." Kondo's face was not good-looking, and he was holding something in his hand. A bag of cookies.
Hirosue's eyes froze, but he quickly returned to normal: "Oh, she actually thought of making snacks for me, she wouldn't have poisoned her."
"Don't think that everyone else is as dirty as you!"
Kondo glared at her with murderous eyes, stuffed the biscuit bag into her hands, turned around and left, not wanting to see Hirosue again. .
Hirosue's smile slowly faded away. Looking at the cookie bag in his hand that was as exquisitely packaged as before, he felt more confused.
She is not omniscient. For example, after Shirai entered the Special Affairs Bureau, she didn’t know much about the other party’s information. She could only guess that she would most likely be the guest of many big shots, but she didn’t know. Will her character change at all?
However, the poisoning she just mentioned was just to test Kondo's reaction to see if she knew anything.
But it seems that Shirai really just asked her to give him the bag of biscuits, and with Kondo’s character, he would definitely not open it and read it, so.
Put away the biscuits and say goodbye to the curious classmates, Hirosue Bi I usually get home a little earlier.
The Shinagawa District Behemoth Incident was very involved, and their Hanajin Group also suffered a lot of losses, but these are not important, it is just that there are a lot more things to be busy with, so she is the only one left in the family. Even my mother was roped in to help, so she only took time to participate in the new member activities on behalf of the Hirosue family at noon today.
Back in the room, she sat down at the desk, spread a layer of paper towels, took out the biscuits from the bag, and poured them down.
Different from last time’s disdain, this time she was extra careful.
After digging around a few times, sure enough, there was a folded piece of paper inside that was about the same color as the cookie.
Open it. The time and place are simply written on it.
"Such careful contact can only be to avoid the Special Affairs Bureau, so why?" Thinking about the clues she knew so far, she picked up a cranberry cookie and put it in her mouth.
She didn't eat the cranberry biscuits last time, so she didn't know the taste, but she had eaten the honey biscuits Shirai Kyoko made before, and they were sweet.
And this is bitter.
Swallowing the bitterness, she took out the camouflage mask she made with [forgery] from the cabinet, and stroked the crying face pattern on it.
"I hope you have really thought it through."
