Tokyo: Pick up the big sister next door at the beginning

Chapter 240 239. Teacher Noriko said she was coming over! (Ask for monthly ticket)

Because there is still the last day of vacation, I have to go back today.

Shinkai Taki lamented that he always had so little time to spend with his parents, let alone not meeting his father this time.

Shinkai Taki, who originally wanted to call his father, learned that Saijo Mi was missing. He contacted almost everyone with known relationships with Saijo Mi throughout the morning, but there was no news about her.

Including Shinkai Taki, his eldest sister and Qiu Keiko also called each other's phone, but they all showed that the phone was turned off.

This made everyone panic.

Saijo Mei, could something happen to her?
Due to the disappearance and unknown whereabouts of Saijo Mi, Shinkai Taki felt a little guilty about what happened last night. Perhaps, he could handle it a little more gently.

Her disappearance must have something to do with him.

In the morning, Shinkai Taki and his elder sister searched and inquired around the town, but some of the people they met were indifferent, some shook their heads, and said no.

Shinkaitaki asked his mother again if there were any cameras installed nearby.

Mom shook her head. Except for the entrance to the town, there were no cameras installed anywhere else.

After all, this place is still quite far from the city center.

After searching for about three or four hours, and feeling warm all over, Shinkai Taki called his eldest sister and asked her to go back first. He also talked to his mother on the phone and gave her opinions. It seemed that it was necessary to call the police.

But people at the police station said that it would take more than 24 hours to file a case.

Therefore, Xin Haitaki also felt helpless.

Mi Saijou, Mi Saijou, you wouldn't do anything stupid, right?

Therefore, throughout the whole day, both of them, including the eldest sister, were a little on tenterhooks. Qiu Huizi also blamed herself a little, saying that if she hadn't been used to going to bed early last night and could have noticed the other person's emotions earlier.

Maybe he wouldn't go to bed so early, but stay with her.

Now it's time to go back to Tokyo.

Still no news from Saijo Mei.

But now it was impossible for him to go back first, so he could only call Teacher Noriko Hayakawa.

"Is it Mr. Noriko?"

At that time, the sun was about to set, and the scenery in front of my home was endless.

Against the backdrop of the surrounding woods, the sun shines brightly.

While Shinkai Taki called Hayakawa Noriko to ask for leave, he subconsciously looked toward the forest.

There seemed to be a path there, leading deep into the forest.

Shinkaitaki observed.

"Yes, has Xinhai-kun gone home? Tomorrow morning is the first day of class after the holiday. The midterm exam results will be announced, so don't forget to go to class on time."

Noriko Hayakawa's voice on the phone was very cheerful, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

I don’t know what she did during the holidays.

"No, something happened to me here."

Shinkai Taki explained the causes and consequences of Saijo Mei's disappearance on the phone.

Teacher Noriko suddenly became worried.

He also said that if he gave her an address, she could come over right away and be responsible for following up on the matter together.

Shinkai Taki said, not yet.

He has already called the police and it will take 24 hours to file a case. During this period, he will try his best to search and rescue the other party.

Moreover, Qiu Huizi also went to the commune in the town, informed the organization here, and sent search and rescue personnel to help.

I'll definitely have to look for it tonight.

What Teacher Noriko means is to keep in communication with her at any time. If you still can’t find her at night, call her quickly and she will be responsible for following up on the matter.

Shinkai Taki felt a sense of reverence for Teacher Noriko to have such a sense of responsibility and courage.

Later, she told Shinkai Taki a piece of news, that is, the two of them had previously collaborated on writing an article to participate in the Tokyo Literary Newcomer Competition, and now they have entered the finals, with 10 out of 1 selected.

In the end, everyone has an opportunity to modify the content. The last date to participate is one week later.

Ask Xin Haitaki to quickly go over the manuscript again so that he can discuss it with her.

Shinkai Taki nodded.

During this period, the book "Evil Love" (later renamed) that I and Teacher Noriko created did as expected, passing all the tests and entering the finals.

When he hung up his phone, Shinkai Taki subconsciously opened Line and looked at the chat box about his senior sister.

Since she left the day before yesterday, the messages in the chat box have been empty, and I don't know how she is doing now.

Instead, he ran the N station short video account with the ID [Sakurai-senpai] for his senior.

I took a look at it before going to bed early yesterday morning and found that the number of fans had exceeded 20.

Still going up.

He just had to update the video today.

By the time it was completely dark, the people from the town's rescue organization that Qiu Kezi called had also arrived. Shinkai Taki was worried that his eldest sister would have something to do at work tomorrow, so he told her to go back first and he would be there. We will make plans after finding Mi Saijo.

But the eldest sister said that she had already asked for leave from the company, and that she would go through the resignation procedures after leaving. Her career had begun a new chapter - another company in the cultural industry applied for the eldest sister Kana Uehara to become their The company's operating partner (Managing Partner).

She has agreed.

It is equivalent to the eldest sister at this time having switched jobs and entered the senior level of the company.

This was originally something worth celebrating, but unfortunately, this happened now.

"Mei Saijo, where are you!!"

Evening, 19 o'clock.

The sky has completely darkened.

There is a cold wind all around. This place is close to the mountains and forests, and the winter winds in the mountains and forests are not covered.

A total of 20 rescuers came, all with professional search and rescue tools. After everyone understood the situation, the search and rescue team leader assigned tasks from due east, due south, due west, due north and northeast, northwest, southwest, Guarantee 8-2 people in each of the 3 directions in the southeast, with a range of 5-20 kilometers, to conduct high-density search and rescue.

Share messages anytime.

Shinkai Taki and the eldest sister also joined in.

Because my mother was ill, she was not allowed to participate. Besides, Mi Saijo might come back during the period, so the family could not be without someone.

Qiu Huizi stayed at home and prepared food and water for the search and rescuers in time.

The search and rescue work officially started this night.

As for why the range is 5 kilometers to 20 kilometers, because judging from the current disappearance of Saijo Mei, she must have gone somewhere alone.

Qiu Huizi fell asleep at 23:[-].

There was not much movement during this period, and the meteor shower started at about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Saijo Mei probably went outside to watch the meteor shower.

Aki Keiko woke up for the first time at 6 o'clock in the morning and found that Saijo Mi was missing. At that time, she thought she had gone to the bathroom, so she fell asleep and went back to sleep. At 8 o'clock, she still hadn't come, so she hurriedly woke up Shinkai Taki. .

In other words, there were about 5 hours in between when Saijo Mi was not there.

按照平均一个女孩行走的速度大概是1分钟60-100米，按照最大步幅来计算，1分钟100米，1个小时6000米，也就是6公里，5个小时大概在30公里。

But Saijo Mei shouldn't have been walking all night, so the possible range was compressed to within 5 kilometers to 20 kilometers of Aki Keiko's house as the origin.

A group of people prepared lighting tools and search and rescue tools and set off in their respective directions.

Shinkai Taki and his eldest sister Uehara Kana happened to be heading due east of the forest. The group of people walked and shouted, and searched as carefully as possible.

It was pretty depressing at first.

Because after about half an hour, people from eight directions collected the information, and found nothing.

The captain of the search and rescue team asked everyone to be serious and not to let go of any possible traces.

But until the first 2 hours, I searched side by side and walked about 6-8 kilometers. Still no trace.

At this time, the more Xin Hailong walked forward, the more he felt something was wrong.

It stands to reason that no matter how sad Saijo Mi is, she should not do anything stupid.

But it’s not like you don’t contact them by phone.

Unless you're trapped.

There was a meteor shower in the latter half of last night. Could it be that Mi Saijo found a place with a better view to watch the meteor shower?
When we found the third hour, everyone was a little tired. There was still no news from all directions.

Xin Haitaki suddenly felt bad.

If I were Mi Saijo, would I have gone this far?

This is a strange place.

Saijo Mei has such good academic performance and is the top student in their school. How could she not be able to handle her own feelings?

He was communicating with his eldest sister on the way.

The eldest sister said: "Has Mi Saijo ever been in love before?"

In the mountain forest at night, there is a cold wind everywhere, and a chilly feeling is constantly attacking everyone's neck and face.

However, thanks to their mother who had prepared thick clothes in advance, Shinkai Taki and Kana were not particularly cold.

In addition, while walking on the road, snowflakes suddenly began to fall in the sky.

No wonder, there was a sudden wind at night and the sky was pitch black.

It is unimaginable that last night it was a meteor shower night, and today it turned into snowy weather.

"no."

Shinkai Taki said.

In fact, he wasn't sure either.

"You and Saijo Mei have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Don't you know her feelings?"

The eldest sister asked.

Shinkai Taki didn't want to hide it, and answered: "The so-called childhood sweethearts are just that we often played together when we were young, and we were together in junior high school. We had a good relationship in the first two years of high school, but because my center didn't pay much attention to her, especially after meeting her eldest sister. After that, we rarely communicate with Sakurai-senpai."

"You."

The eldest sister said to Shinkai Taki.

"My heart is actually kind, but sometimes I am not particularly sensitive. You should know that Saijo Mi likes you, right?"

"It depends on which one you like."

Shinkai Taki said.

"Let me guess, your love for Saijo Mei is probably based on your friend Ome, but not much. But Saijo Mei's love for you may go beyond the ordinary Ome relationship. She has always secretly had a crush on you."

Big sister provides professional analysis from a girl’s perspective.

This made Shinkai Taki sigh even more when he looked at his eldest sister's beautiful face that was slightly red from the cold in the night sky.

"Maybe."

Combined with the past, I had breakfast in the drawer for myself every day in class. During this vacation trip, Saijo Mi’s various reactions, as well as her reaction at her home last night.

If I say I generally like it, then it's definitely not.

Even though Shinkai Taki's attention is basically focused on his eldest sister, Sakurai-senpai and Yuko, he can feel that Saijo Mei treats him differently from others.

"That means you really have a crush on you. Let me ask you, what happened when you had a crush on someone else before?"

Pieces of snowflakes fell from the night sky, little by little at first, and then there were goose-feather-like snowflakes in the sky.

It fell on the big sister's down jacket, neck, and eyelashes, and then melted quickly.

"I?"

Shinkai Taki glanced at his eldest sister.

The eldest sister was holding a flashlight to check the surrounding situation.

"Have a crush on someone else?"

Shinkai Taki muttered to himself.

"Maybe not."

If you want to talk about secret love, you can basically catch up with the girl you like.

But he subconsciously understood what the elder sister wanted to express.

"I understand, Miss Uehara, you actually want to say that a person's first crush is often a very sad state, right? Especially when there is no response."

"This sad state will always be backlogged because there is no way to solve the need for growth."

"Taki is very smart."

The eldest sister said softly.

Taki Shinkai also replied happily: "It feels good to be able to resonate with Miss Yuan's soul. I wonder if we should look back now."

However, while the two were chatting, Shinkai Taki suggested this to his eldest sister.

"Go back?"

"Ah."

"Didn't I just look for them all?"

"It's possible there's something we're missing."

"for example?"

"For example, in some mountain valleys, I remember when we came here, there was a place where there weren't many trees nearby, and you could see the night sky from the front, right?"

Shinkai Taki thought about it for a moment.

The eldest sister also thought about it based on Shinkai Taki's prompts.

Then he nodded and said, "There really is such a place."

"It's not far from our home."

"uh-huh."

our family?
When Kana Uehara heard Shinkai Taki directly refer to his family as our family, she felt a little weird in her heart and wanted to resist.

I didn't marry here.

How could it be our home?

Wrong description.

But this was just a momentary thought. She also felt that continuing to search like this was not an option, and the further she went, the more she felt she was straying from the direction.

"I think Saijo Mei must not have gone far after she came out last night. Maybe the place we took a look at before was because there was a cliff and a mountain col as we walked inside, so we thought it was impossible, so we didn't take a serious look."

"Do you think Saijo Mei is there?"

Shinkai Taki analyzed and said this.

The eldest sister was also a little moved.

"Anyway, there is another person with us. Let him continue to search ahead. Let's go back to that place to search. By the way, we can also check if there are any missed places on the way back."

Chanel nodded.

After explaining the situation to the team members who were searching and rescuing in front of them, Shinkai Taki and his eldest sister quickly went back in the direction they were coming from.

Just as the two of them were going back, Shinkai Taki was on the high hillside where the mountain col was. When the flashlight flashed, he could vaguely and clearly see a girl below!
