“On March 25, the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters announced the implementation of a safety manual.

, cooperation and help! We will try our best to give the general public a safe and worry-free living environment!"

"Director, Director, we are reporters from Osaka Metropolis Daily. Why can the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department give such a confident reply to the high murder and rape rate in the past month? Before this, the police

Doesn’t the Metropolitan Police Department have no clue about the personal information of prisoners? Is this another perfunctory treatment of the public by the Metropolitan Police Department? Can we still see you bowing and apologizing on TV and begging us to give you more trust and time?

Director! Please answer directly!"

"As you can see so far, in the play experience area of ​​Tokyo Disney, on the artificial lake in the second half of the Pirates of the Caribbean project, Disneyland officials staged a rare live-action melodrama for their guests. As you have said

See the beautiful princess and handsome prince on the sprig of the 'Black Pearl', having a final duel with the villain who opposes their loyal love!"

“Oh (↓↑)! (The guest’s reaction is displayed in the upper right corner of the program)”

“Then it’s great to switch back to the scene now, Obao-kun, what do you think of Disney’s carefully prepared live-action performance? Where is Miss Sakurako?”

"Eh? Me? I think Disney has always been very good at choosing actors for this kind of real-life princess! Look at that princess, she is so beautiful, she looks exactly like the one in the animation! Especially that one

Her blond hair seems to be shining, what do you think, Miss Sakurako?"

 “Ah, so handsome.”

 “Eh? What’s so handsome?”

 “Of course he is the prince.”

"prince?"

“Yeah, I just saw his face, he’s so handsome.”

“I repeated it twice, he is really handsome. Do young girls nowadays like this number? Are Kimura Takuya types no longer popular?”

“Oho-kun, no matter how you look at it, you are not a Kimura Takuya type! (The audience burst into laughter)”

 “This is too much”

 “But if Yabe Yuyou is there, Daiho-kun still has a chance.”

“Eh? Quan-san? Is he the actor from “Hot Blood and High Laughter”? (Photo comparison was shown on the TV show, and the audience burst into laughter again)”

“Oho-kun has no chance. No matter how you look at this prince, he is still an Oguri Shun type.”

“I heard that this pair of princesses and princes, who have never appeared in the public eye, are most likely to be Disneyland’s preliminaries for the next animated movie!”

“Ah (everyone suddenly realized it)!”

“No wonder the martial arts scenes are so great. It seems that Disney has invested a lot of money, and the coordination is perfect. Even the villains are so handsome that it makes people heart-beat!”

 “Does Miss Sakurako also like handsome guys like villains?”

“Ah, hate it, I like all handsome guys (the audience burst into laughter).”

 “So, does Miss Sakurako like me?”

 “Yada! (The audience burst into laughter)”

 “Minister! I’ve bought some drinks!”

 “Why is it so slow?”

 “Sorry for being late but in the end I only bought this.”

 “What is this? I’ve never asked you to buy anything like this!”

 “I’m sorry, Minister!”

 “Performance can be compromised, but can Coke? Look at what blue garbage you bought”

 “I’m sorry, I’m going to buy a new one now!”

 “It needs to be red! It must be red!”

 Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola will never give in! (advertising slogan)

Outside the TV sales shop, the rainwater on the glass display window was pulled by gravity and fell, leaving traces. TV screens one after another played programs from various TV stations behind the glass, news, TV interviews, advertisements, and comedy variety shows that made people laugh. The crouching artists, all mixed sounds, floated through the shop windows on the damp and cold streets reflecting the colorful neon lights.

This is Osaka Prefecture, Kyono City, a small city in the North Kawauchi area, bordering Jiaoye Mountain to the east.

This small city is located in the suburbs of Osaka. You can reach the boundary of Nara, one of the three major metropolitan areas, by walking over the Kyono City and walking through the cemetery. However, Mt. Kyono is like an airtight wall, blocking the opposite side. All the prosperity and new trends are blocked, and what is left to Jiaoye is laziness, a lazy yet peaceful and peaceful small town life.

At night, almost no vehicles can be seen on the streets of the residential area. You can only see the shadows of cars passing by under the street lights on the Second Keihan Expressway in the distance. One or two horns sound, and the fleeting white light illuminates the city.

The dark shadows of the low-rise houses flickered across the road.

Behind the window where TV programs are playing, the empty and brightly lit TV store is quiet. Every TV on the shelf is playing a program. The noisy TV sound does not increase the popularity of this little shop that no one cares about. On the contrary, it makes the store more popular.

The rainy night added a sense of coolness.

At this moment, the welcoming bell on the glass door of the store rang.

It was not that customers came in, but people inside went out. The clerk in the TV sales store who was wearing a work apron and keeping watch all night opened the door and poked his head out. The few locks of hair on his head were immediately wet by the light rain at night. He stood at the door.

Then he looked at the deserted streets on the left and right sides and sighed, curled up his neck and hid his head back in the store, and hung the closing sign on the glass door.

The clerk stretched himself, walked into the display window, found the power socket behind the display TV, and turned off the switch. The colorful picture reflected on the display window went out, and the noise of the crowded TV programs also disappeared instantly, and the display window

The sound of light rain outside suddenly became louder.

The deserted street, the store that was about to close, and the endless light rain made people feel a little lonely for no reason. When this feeling came to mind, the clerk immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, throwing away the long-lost second feeling.

Now, the work in the past few years has long burned away his former middle school soul. If he was still half a brave man before, now his brave soul has been burned away by the work apron with advertisements on it.

Sealed.

The clerk put down the power socket, looked up at the window, and then turned around to go out and pack things in the store, but at this moment he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and turned his head again to look outside the glass.

 In the reflection of the glass window, in addition to rows of black LCD screens for sale and his blank face, there is also a striking shadow, a white figure.

Across the street that was wet and cold from the light rain, there was a girl sitting at the foot of the white street lamp, wearing an oversized graffiti T-shirt, with short black hair, a delicate and beautiful face under the wet bangs, and lowered eyes.

Guang Zheng was staring at the shop assistant behind the window. He couldn't tell whether his mood was sadness or resentment, but it just didn't make people feel comfortable.

The clerk subconsciously looked back at the clock hanging on the wall in the store. It was already half past eleven at night. To see such a girl on the street at this time really made people feel a little uneasy. It was not because of conscience, but because of it.

I always feel that this girl is very troublesome, just like a tissue wetted by rain. If I touch her rashly, I will only tear something that was originally intact and make everything impossible to return to the past.

But out of conscience, the clerk chose to take off his employee apron and walk out of the display window. He opened the glass door and used his apron to block the light rain above his head. He crossed the street and walked to the girl under the streetlight.

When he got closer, he noticed that the girl was younger than he thought. Judging from her face, she looked as young as a high school student or a junior high school student. Because she was squatting, her large T-shirt made her look like a girl.

The girl's whole body was completely covered, except for a pair of white sneakers under her feet. The rain had wet the fabric of her T-shirt and stuck to her arms. Fortunately, the clothes were made of heavy cotton, otherwise she would have been soaked like this.

In just a few minutes, all the spring sunshine should be gone.

He stood in front of the girl. The girl also saw the feet appearing in her sight. She raised her head slightly and looked at the young clerk. His beautiful face made the clerk feel excited for a moment, but he still held back those thoughts.

.

"Arno, are you okay?" He coughed and decided to try some sexual contact. He held up his scarf and bent down to look at the short-haired girl and asked.

“だいじょうぶ(daijoubu).” The short-haired girl answered quite briefly, her tone was a little weak, but she still tried hard to take a breath to make herself look energetic.

As long as the clerk has a brain, he can see that this girl is not a man at all. She was soaked all over. He sat in the store all night and didn't pay much attention to the situation on the street outside. He didn't know how long the girl had been in the rain.

If he keeps going like this, he will catch a cold sooner or later when the rain dries up. Especially in April, when the weather is hot and cold, he bought a lot of medical stocks and just waited for them to rise. He just made money without caring about his health.

patient's money.

 “Will you get sick if you do this?”

"perhaps."

"are not you cold?"

"not cold."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ulationThe clerk felt like he was gradually chatting to death.

The girl looked at him as if she was thinking about something. She answered whatever the clerk asked her, but the answers she gave back and forth were extremely short and made no progress at all.

“Where do you live? Are you lost? Do you want me to call the police for you?” The clerk finally couldn’t help but ask after thinking for a long time.

"No need." When the short-haired girl heard the word "alarm", she suddenly shook her head and slowly stood up from the ground. Upon seeing this, the clerk immediately took a few steps back and watched the short-haired girl walk along the street in the drizzle.

After walking for a while, I stood under another streetlight and sat down.

The clerk was stunned. Was he disliked by JK? No, even though he was not as handsome as the Disney Prince actor in the TV show, he was not ugly at all. He would not be regarded as a bad guy by JK who was living on the street.

Bar?

He wanted to walk over and continue to talk to the short-haired girl, but he didn't know how he could shamelessly start the conversation after the other girl left him. Just when he was hesitant and confused, there was a sudden sound at the corner not far away from the street.

The sound of footsteps.

At the corner of the street, a young man in a suit and leather shoes wearing a black umbrella walked out with a briefcase. He was probably a workhorse who came home late. As soon as he walked onto the road here, he immediately noticed the girl squatting under the streetlight next to him.

, he stopped and slowly lowered his head to look at the soaked girl.

"Sir, did you bring your mobile phone? She seems to be lost and can't find her way home." The clerk awkwardly held up his apron and walked over to talk to the young man, then looked at the short-haired girl on the ground.
