My daily life of cultivating immortals and removing spirits in Chiba

"Disappointing? Did you encounter something unsatisfactory at work, Taoli?"

Hasegawa Rise's voice came from the other side of the living room.

Listening to Hasegawa Rise's voice, Ichinose Momori's groggy head was stunned for a moment.

Then he stood up quickly, put his feet back on the coffee table, and stepped on his slippers.

"Haha, it's not a big deal."

After Momo Ichinose laughed a little guiltily, and then saw that Hasegawa Roshi had no other strange expressions, she also said accordingly.

"Speaking of which, Rishi-senpai, did you come home from get off work so early today?"

Today, Hasegawa Roshi returned to the apartment before six o'clock in the evening.

Although it is normal to come home from get off work at this time, Hasegawa Toshio used to get home after eight o'clock.

"Well, because I have finally finished the busy things recently, I can take a little rest recently."

Hasegawa Toshiyo took off his coat and put it on the hanger at the entrance while replying in a relaxed and happy tone.

Due to the previous incident of the Tengu, although the Chiba City Police Department was not a key force involved, it was also responsible for patrol and security work around Chiba City.

So during the previous period, Hasegawa Toshiyo didn't have much free time at all.

Even on holidays, you still need to go to work.

After that, although the "Resentful Tengu" was eliminated by Asamaha, the patrol and vigilance mission was lifted.

However, the follow-up work of vigilance on the battle scene, control of online public opinion, archiving of materials, etc. still kept Hasegawa Toshio busy for about a week.

Now all this work is over, and she finally has free time to get off work early and rest.

"That's right." Ichinose Tori nodded slightly.

After taking off her coat, she walked into the living room wearing slippers.

Then, looking at the cans everywhere beside the sofa in the living room, he frowned and shook his head helplessly.

However, looking at the embarrassed Ichinose Tori, she didn't scold her.

Then, Hasegawa Toshiyo turned his attention to the TV in the living room, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Taoli, do you also want to fall in love?"

Hasegawa Roshi's pair of red phoenix eyes that were originally slightly tired suddenly filled with a hint of ridicule, and he said softly.

"How could I! I was just bored when I was drinking. I turned on the TV and this program happened to happen, so I was too lazy to adjust it."

Hearing this, Ichinose Tori immediately denied it.

Seeing this, Hasegawa Toshio smiled, and then his pair of slightly majestic red phoenix eyes twinkled slightly, and he said with a hint of emotion on his pretty face.

"Taoli, this is actually a normal thing. There is no need to deny it immediately out of shame."

"You have cured your body now because of Mr. Asama, right?"

"Now while you are still young, it is not a shame but a very normal thing to find a handsome and gentle boyfriend and enjoy the beauty of love."

When talking about this, Hasegawa Roshi was persuading Ichinose Tori to actively seek happiness.

However, while saying these words, she couldn't help but think of herself, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Although she was advising Ichinose Tori to actively seek happiness, what about herself?

Obviously, due to the arrangement of fate, she successfully lived above Asama-kun and became Asama-kun's neighbor.

But not only did the relationship between the two not get closer, but the communication between them also became much less.

After all, she became Asamaha's neighbor and friend.

But the relationship between the two people only goes so far.

Except when something happened, Asamaha would come to her to find out what was going on. At other times, other than running into each other going up and downstairs and saying hello politely, he would basically not have any communication with her at other times. And although she is in love with Asama Ha.

But if Asamaha didn't take action, for Hasegawa Roshi, how could she dare to approach Asamaha?

Put aside other factors.

In the eyes of Hasegawa Roshi, Asama Ha is a young man who is under 16 years old, is in high school, has his youth, and also has a lover of the same age.

But she is a 26-year-old police officer who has been working for four years.

The identity difference between the two of them meant that apart from sudden supernatural cases, what reasonable reason should she use to get close to Asama Ha?

"Asama-kun, you probably just think of me as a friend, right?"

"If Asama-kun notices my thoughts, will you think I'm disgusting?"

"Let's just leave it like this."

Whenever she tried to muster up the courage to act, these thoughts would appear in her mind like a nightmare.

She became timid again, not daring to take any action and maintaining the status quo.

Hasegawa Toshiyo shook his head gently, clearing the complicated emotions in his mind.

Then she looked at Ichinose Tori in front of her, seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked.

"Speaking of which, Taori, you dressed up specially last week, probably to meet Asama-kun outside, right?"

Although she was busy with work last week, she didn't care much about Ichinose Momori's affairs.

But because some plainclothes police officers in the police station were patrolling, some police officers naturally recognized "Asama Ha", the section chief's lover in their eyes, during their patrols at night.

When he saw Asama Ha with other women around him, he took it for granted that Asama Ha was cheating on Hasegawa Roshi behind his back, so he secretly took photos and reported it to Hasegawa Roshi.

When Hasegawa Toshiyo saw this photo at the time, he was a little surprised at first sight.

But I soon figured it out. It was probably Asamaha who was helping Ichinose Tori treat her "heterophobia".

Although the two of them were holding hands in the photo, in fact, Momori Ichinose in the photo was deliberately keeping a distance from Asamaha, and they were not actually close.

And Ichinose Tori has always had a problem with Asama Ha in her impression.

Therefore, she quickly deduced what she thought was the "correct" answer.

After returning home in the evening, Ichinose Tori told her that her body had become normal, which convinced her even more.

At that time, Hasegawa Roshi was too busy with work at that time, so he didn't ask about this matter in detail and went straight to take a shower and rest.

Now she suddenly remembered it.

However, in the eyes of Hasegawa Roshi, it was a normal topic.

When Ichinose Tori heard this, her pupils shrank instantly, her face that was originally tipsy instantly turned a lot whiter, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

"No, I will never meet alone with that brat outside!"

Ichinose Tori's whole body trembled inexplicably, and she quickly denied it almost like a conditioned reflex.

At this moment, looking at Ichinose Momori's appearance, Hasegawa Toshiyo couldn't help but frown.

"Taoli, are you sure?"

Listening to what Hasegawa Toshiyo said, although Ichinose Tori felt something was wrong, her mind was already numbed by alcohol, so she nodded and responded solemnly.

"Sure! You must have read it wrong, Senior Rishi."

"But the police officers from our police station who were patrolling nearby took photos specifically. This is absolutely unmistakable."

Hasegawa Toshiyo narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, looked at Ichinose Momori's appearance, pondered for a moment and said very strangely.

She could tell that Tori Ichinose seemed to be deliberately hiding something when she lied like this.

But why?

Obviously this is not a particularly embarrassing thing, right? (End of chapter)
