HBWnovel Chapter 373
Chapter 373
The author has something to say:
The narrator of this chapter is the protagonist - Kirihara - the protagonist, and the point of perspective change is marked with *.
"Don't worry about it anymore, Kamio-kun. Don't magnify the matter." In the dormitory hall at night, everyone gathered together again, and Oishi tried hard to persuade.
"But, if this continues, my anger will not disappear!" The object of persuasion insisted.
Not far away, Kirihara, with a Band-Aid on his face, silently glanced at the end of his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
"According to my investigation, both the Sakaki-gumi and the Huacun-gumi met late yesterday. Therefore, one of us must be the real criminal!" Kamio really got on board.
"Are you going to find the prisoner no matter what?" Dashi looked serious.
"Perseverance is my strong point." Kamio did not back down.
"Speaking of which, hasn't it been made over there yet? The portrait of the prisoner." Kikumaru turned to look at the Horio trio lying at the table in the corner of the hall.
"Horio, is that a human?" Katsuro whispered, "It's a bit like an animal."
Horio, who had been frowning and holding his forehead with a bitter face, broke out, "Don't talk nonsense! You don't know anything!"
"This person is the prisoner!" Horio finally showed us his painstaking masterpiece.
In the painting, it really is a creature between animals and humans.The only obvious feature is - a head of hair as stiff as a hedgehog.
"Why is this?!" It was Taocheng's turn to go crazy.
"Taocheng! So you are the real prisoner!" Kamio Sakuro stood up and pointed like Conan.
"Is it possible!" Taocheng jumped violently.
"Phew—" With both hands on the pillow, I let out a long breath secretly, and I said, "Hey, instead of wasting time doing this kind of thing..."
"Indeed, as Echizen said, on-site investigation is indispensable." Kajimoto spoke among the people walking in the corridor.
"But why do we have to come?" Shido murmured in a low voice.
Bedtime is delayed again.Although it's my suggestion, it's better than endless wrangling.With my hands in my trouser pockets, I shuffled listlessly.Followed by Taocheng who looked like a live fish, "If you come here, you will definitely find some clues!"
At the end of the line, Kirihara played the saw-jaw gourd as usual.
At the corner of the stairs at the scene of the crime, everyone was standing or squatting, looking around.
"Ah, the scenery is really nice~" Kikumaru set up a pergola and looked out from the window.This one is for the scenery.
"Hey, Eiji!" Oishi, who was working hard, was dissatisfied.
"Sorry, sorry~" Kikumaru smiled hippie.
Sensing something strange somewhere, I turned my gaze to the fire extinguisher cabinet in the corner of the wall.There seemed to be a faint flash of reflected light just now.
Go over and squat down, and touch the bottom of the fire extinguisher cabinet.Something that my finger touches makes me frown—I know who the culprit is.
The next morning, inside the restaurant.
"Senior Taocheng! Oversized breakfast, I've been waiting for a long time!" Ukio, who was wearing a white apron and acting as a cafeteria employee, put on a flattering face, and held out a bowl of white rice that was piled up like a hill.
"Oh——THANKYOU~" Rubbing his hands happily, Taocheng couldn't wait to grab the bowl of "Xiaoshan", and sniffed the fragrance intoxicatedly.This guy is really easy to deal with, and he will be defeated with a bowl of plain rice. (Author: Change rice to grilled fish, and you too!)
"A Tao, you can eat so early in the morning." Beside him, Ju Wan rolled up the eyes of dead fish.
"Hey hey~ There are too few of these!"
"No way~"
On the other side, Shishido, who was about to cook, asked the frowning Feng softly, "What's the matter, Chotaro? You look listless."
"Oh," Feng sighed, "it's hard to fall asleep once you change the bed."
"Is it just because of this?" Shishido asked thoughtfully.
"Damn it, I can't sleep peacefully until I personally catch the real criminal!" Behind them, Kamio took the conversation angrily.
"As a result, yesterday also failed." "Yes." Kajimoto Oishi looked at Kamio sympathetically.
At the end of the line, my eyes quietly fell to the corner of the restaurant.
With his back to us, Kirihara buried himself in his breakfast alone.Li Hai is the only one selected for the Ryuzaki team, but this kid is born with an upturned nostril that is annoying (Author: You are the same!), coupled with his own style of play, no one likes to talk to him.
"What's the matter, Echizen?" Sensing my strange silence, Oishi turned around and asked me sensitively.
"It's nothing." Looking away from the suddenly lonely back, I responded calmly, lowering my head and bangs to cover my expression.
"Hey, everyone, good morning." The old lady Ryuzaki walked into the restaurant in good spirits.
"Good morning—" Everyone raised their heads in unison.Due to the diversion of the meal time, all the members of the Ryugasaki group are currently in the restaurant.
"Well, everyone is here." Satisfied, the old lady Ryuzaki glanced at the restaurant, looking at the schedule in her hand, "Let's confirm today's schedule for the Ryuzaki group. From now until ten o'clock It's free practice, go to the gymnasium for strength training from ten to twelve o'clock, and practice on the tennis court after lunch..."
Listening to Mrs. Ryuzaki's speech seemingly serious and absent-minded, I couldn't help but glance back.Quietly staying in a corner of the restaurant, motionless, Kirihara stubbornly showed his lonely but lonely back.
＊"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
A person hit the tennis ball with all his strength against the wall, and after a while, the sweat quietly covered the whole face, and I was panting.
"It's because of you that my brother was hospitalized!" 』The girl's sharp voice.
"Kirhara!Say it again and try it! ’ the boy said angrily.
"Don't turn a tennis ball into a tool for people to hate you. 』The soft voice hides a cold voice.
"Are you aware of your limitations, Akaya? 』Stern and solemn voice.
In the illusion of various voices, a frivolous and arrogant voice sounded, "Let me tell you clearly, I will not sympathize with you!"Hehehe——』
The same voice kept echoing in my head, "Of course not even an apology!" 』『The incitement is a little bit~』『Weak dogs are better at barking! ’ ‘That’s what I was talking about, ahaha——’
『Senior—how many minutes did it take for the fastest finish of this Kanto Tournament? 』
"Then it will take 13 minutes today~"
ah!Whose voice is this person who hates ghosts?who is it!I tried my best to escape, but the voice lingered on me relentlessly.
"Good job! ’ ‘You are amazing! ’ ‘I’m going to destroy you! 』
"That's great, I thought I couldn't get a point~" "What, is this kid a monster! 』
"Hey~ Did you hit it again?I'm sorry, I didn't mean to~』
The triumphant voice suddenly screamed sharply, "We lost!Completely crushed—”
Then turned cold and ruthless, "I will have no sympathy for you!" ’ ‘I won’t sympathize with you! 』
In an instant, it turned dark and ruthless again, "He is really a person worth destroying—" "Akaya Kirihara!" 』
Yes, there is nothing wrong, and escaping is useless.This is my voice.This is the despicable me!
With a hard shot, I tried my best to smash the ferocious red-eyed monster in my head, and the tennis ball left a deep ball mark on the wall.
＊"What are you doing?" In the equipment training room at noon, I leaned against the door frame with my hands in my trouser pockets, glanced at Sister Ju who crept in through the back door, and I said lazily.
"Ah!" Obviously taken aback, she quickly turned around, "Echizen-kun!"
"If you want to find Kirihara, he seems to have gone outside with a racket."
After being dazed for a while, Sister Ju lowered her head, "Really." Suddenly thinking of something, she opened her eyes wide and raised her head to stare at me.
Straightening my back, I stood up straight, "It seems that the injury is not very serious, Kirihara."
"You, what are you talking about? Why are you telling me this." The previous touch seemed to be fake, and Sister Ju was confused.
The old man is right, all women are born actors, if you want to take the initiative, you must not be deceived by acting~
Looking at her, I took out something from my trouser pocket, "I found this on the stairs yesterday. This one belongs to you, right?"
Looking at the sky-blue hairpin lying in my palm, Sister Ju fell silent.It is very simple to make this inference. There are only three little girls in the entire training base, and only Sister Ju is the one who likes to use hairpins.
"En(ěn)~Looking at this, that person is really you." Her reaction confirmed my inference, and I further suggested, "Although I don't know what happened between you and Kirihara, it's better to talk to me. Please explain the situation."
Otherwise, they will be suspicious of each other and panic, and even those with delicate nerves will not be able to sleep.
Glancing at me, Sister Orange turned her face away, "He fell by himself, it has nothing to do with me."
"However, Kamio seems to be very uncomfortable for this." I took it easy.
With a change in expression, Sister Tachibana looked at me in surprise, "Why would Kamio..."
"Because everyone suspects that the culprit is Kamio." That's right at first.
"Hey?"
"Kamio said that he was wronged, and that he would catch the real culprit with his own hands, and he is still desperately looking for the culprit." I looked into her eyes.
Sister Orange's expression finally changed, "I don't even know..."
Making up her mind and clenched her fist, she rushed out of the training room, "I have to go..."
After running a few steps, she stopped, "Kamio-kun?"
In the corridor, Kajimoto, Momoshiro, Kikumaru, and Oishi stood in a row, and Kamio was standing among them with his head down.
"Why? Why exactly? Xiao Xing?" Without raising his head, Kamio said in a sad tone.
After hesitating to speak, Sister Ju also lowered her head.
"Even if he had something with Tachibana, it would be too..."
"No, Kamio!" Sister Tachibana shouted loudly.
"What happened between you and Kirihara, Xiaoxing!" Raising his head suddenly, Kamio yelled louder than her.
Shocked by Kamio's unusual expression, she opened her mouth in a daze for a while, and sister Tachibana's big eyes were covered with mist, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The tone gradually choked, and she covered her mouth and began to cry bitterly.
Kamio immediately panicked, "Xiaoxing!" He stepped forward to comfort him at a loss.
The Kajimoto four standing beside them also looked at a loss.Made the girl cry, and I will definitely be criticized if the old man finds out.
"In other words, Kirihara is not protecting Kamio, but Sister Tachibana." Dashi realized later.
"Hmm—" Kikumaru glanced at Oishi in confusion, "But, is that Tachibana's younger sister? I thought he would say what Kirihara said."
Quietly, I left the training room, picked up the tennis racket, and walked outside.
In front of the ball wall in the corner of the playground, a figure was bending over to pick up the ball.Swaggeringly, I walked behind him with the racket on my shoulders.
"What's the matter, Echizen?" He turned his head and glanced at me vigilantly, and continued to pick up the ball, "What's the matter?"
"Hey, play a game with me." The corner of my mouth curled up.
The movement of picking up the ball paused, and he straightened up. He slowly turned his head and looked over with a complicated expression.
