Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

The entrance of the Aragaki apartment.

Nishimaru Miri, who was on spring break, wore a little girl's pink running shoes, a sky blue jacket, and a goose-yellow headband tied her golden satin-like hair behind her head.

When running, the ends of the golden hair swayed back and forth in the afternoon sun, which looked rather fresh and lovely.

Along the way, many nearby neighbors greeted her when they saw it, and some tenants probably knew that Nishimaru Miri's father was adopted after his death, and the adoptive father "died" again.

Except for some older people who are a little superstitious and feel that the little girl is a little unlucky, most of the young tenants feel that this little girl is pitiful.

Some who came back from the supermarket looked at Nishimaru Miri who was standing in front of the Aragaki apartment after running 7 kilometers, and gave her some sweets that children like to eat from shopping bags.

Nishimaru Miri will sweetly thank the neighbors and decline the kindness of the neighbors, and then continue to stand in the afternoon sunlight below the Aragaki apartment, raising her head and squinting her eyes in the sunlight, imitating someone's appearance.

When Higashinohara left, he only said that he would "leave for a few days".

Since the day Higashinohara left, the little guy has worked hard to work and rest every day, get up on time, wash, eat, exercise and study.

Higashinohara often told her that the world is not as safe as it seems, it is better to rely on yourself, and Nishimaru Miri is working hard to learn to protect herself.

Of course, in her little heart, she hopes to surprise her big brother when Higashinohara returns.

It's like a child who got a certificate and a little red flower at school. It would be better if they could be praised. It is estimated that they can be happy for several days.

But time passed day by day.

Not only did she not wait for the praise she expected, but she didn't even see the shadow of Higashinohara.

I don't know why, but Nishimaru Miri's heart began to be a little scared. It seems that since her short life began, the people around her kept leaving her for various "reasons".

First the mother, then the father.

And then the adoptive father

When Midnight Yume was curled up in the small bed, Nishimaru Miri also tried to reach out her little hand to grab them, but every time she caught them empty.

sunrise sunset,

Time goes by day by day.

Nishimaru Miri didn't want to think that way at first.

But every time I ran past the downstairs of the Aragaki apartment, looking at the closed door on the far left of the fifth floor, my hopeful eyes gradually dimmed.

The little girl gradually fell silent.

Now, is it finally Big Brother's turn?

She couldn't help but think so.

Nishimaru Miri took out the small mobile phone in her pocket, and on the screen was a photo of her eating sukiyaki with Higashinohara, aunt Colotia, and sister Charlie next door.

In the photo, Higashinohara is sitting in the center with a smile on his face, Charlie next to him is holding chopsticks and staring at Gulugulu bubbling sukiyaki, next to aunt Kolotia who is wearing an apron to help prepare dishes , Nishimaru Miri sat beside her obediently.

It should be Xia Li who took the picture with her phone. In the background, it was a dark night outside the window, and the glass was stained with cold rain streaks.

Everything in the room was warm.

The gulugulu hot pot is very warm, the warm yellow light is very warm, everyone is very warm in every inch of light and shadow, like a warm family of four.

Every time Nishimaru Miri saw her face, two shallow pear eddies appeared on her face.

It was like at this very moment, in the afternoon sun, Nishimaru Miri, who was standing in front of the apartment building, raised her small hand and smoothed the soft blonde hair floating on her forehead.

She stared at the screen saver of her phone for a while, and opened the text box with Higashinohara.

The last text message sent was on March 6, before ten o'clock last night.

"Big brother, I ran seven kilometers in one breath today, and I feel like I've become stronger again, but I'm definitely not as good as big brother. Well, I'll be even better when you come back."

The elder brother said that his routine is very regular, and he goes to bed on time at ten o'clock every night.

So Nishimaru Miri edited the text message when she finished eating, and waited until 9:55 to click send.

But the message is preceded by a red exclamation mark, which means the delivery failed.

Going forward, for several days, the messages were sent at 9:55 every day.

Most of this information is not very nutritious. It is a little girl's self-talk about what she did today, what she ate, where she went, and so on.

But without exception the sending fails.

There was one in the middle that seemed to be missed after I posted it, so I reposted another one below.

Well, there is also a red exclamation mark in front of it.

It's just that the little girl doesn't seem to care, this is what she needs to do every day.

It's like going upstairs after exercising every day and saying "I'm back" to my aunt Colotia who is preparing the meal, and then my aunt says "Welcome back".

After losing contact for so many days, Nishimaru Miri's original expectation has turned into worry, and the words sent out every day are like a sustenance.

No matter whether Dongyeyuan returns or not, as long as the big brother can reply to him, at least it proves that the big brother is still safe. This reason is enough for her to persevere.

She never wanted to make Higashinohara feel a burden and become a drag on her eldest brother's business affairs, so every time she sent a text message, she was about to fall asleep at night.

But today, Nishimaru Miri hesitated, and finally made a decision.

"Big brother, are you back?"

The moment the editing was completed and the send button was pressed, Nishimaru Miri suddenly became nervous.

This was the first time she sent a message to Higashinohara during the day. After sending it, she was nervous and looking forward to it. It was like walking to the podium to hand in the answer sheet during the exam. After it really came out, I got a completely unsatisfactory result.

On the screen in his hand, the animation of the paper airplane that is being sent by the text message used to be unable to find the end point after taking off, and often returned to the origin after a circle.

But today.

It seems a little different.

Nishimaru Miri's big eyes that were as green as gems shone slightly, as if a little beast cheered up in her heart, and even showed a radiant look.

It was at this moment that she suddenly reacted in her little head.

The message is out!

Does that mean the big brother has received the news?

Nishimaru Miri couldn't help thinking like this in her small head, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, her phone vibrated with a "buzz".

"You have a new message, please check it."

The moment Nishimaru Miri saw the news clearly, the listless little beast in her heart almost danced happily, her face filled with an unstoppable smile.

It's big brother!

She opened the message immediately.

"Big brother, are you back?"

The other party's reply was very brief, with only one simple word.

"Um."

Under the warm sunshine in the afternoon, Nishimaru Miri couldn't help but looked up, her brows filled with uncontrollable joy, and her small body ran towards the apartment building as quickly as a gust of wind.

On the third floor balcony.

Aragaki Satoru, who was paralyzed on the reclining chair and basking in the sun, put down his teacup, and glanced at Nishimaru Miri, who was rushing up from his side in surprise, and suddenly reacted after being stunned for a while.

Huh?

Is that kid back?

Speaking of which, he didn't seem to have seen Higashinohara after the spring break, and Satoru Aragaki even thought that the kid who loved money like his life went to the clubhouse to find a job and joined the ranks of sending warmth to rich women.

After running up to the fifth floor like the wind,

Nishimaru Miri nervously walked to Higashinohara's door and found that the door was still tightly closed.

But the text messages on the mobile phone will not be fake, and it is even more impossible for the big brother to deceive himself.

Taking courage, Nishimaru Miri raised her small hand and tried to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, just as her little hand touched the door that used to be tightly closed, the door opened in response.

Nishimaru Miri pushed in the door, and the next second, he covered his mouth slightly in surprise and froze at the door.

In the dusty room, I saw a pale, familiar figure lying on the tatami in the middle of the living room. He was wearing a piece of clothes that didn't fit very well. in a coma.

When Higashinohara woke up, it was already evening.

Lying on the tatami from this angle, he could see the lights in the city outside the dark window, and the tip of his nose twitched slightly, but he smelled a familiar smell of rice.

Higashinohara turned his head to the side, and under the warm yellow light in the room, a tall woman in an apron was cooking porridge on an induction cooker not far away with her back to her.

seven days.

It's not long, it's not short.

It can make him feel unfamiliar with all the daily familiar things, and it can also trigger memories when he smells certain smells and sees certain people, and resets the memory back to the original point.

Squeak-!

The door was pushed open.

"I came back and bought miso and pickles."

"Well, Higashino-kun likes to eat porridge and pickles, put them there."

"It's hard work auntie."

"There is no such thing."

While the two were talking, Nishimaru Miri inadvertently glanced in the direction of Higashinohara, a very happy expression suddenly appeared on her small face, and she rushed over with a quick trot.

"Big brother!"

At this time, although Higashinohara's face gradually returned to ruddy, it still looked particularly haggard under the warm yellow light.

"You are finally back."

"Yeah, I'm finally back."

He nodded with a chuckle, and touched Nishimaru Miri's small head.

During those days in hell, he had thought a lot about returning to this warm hut again, returning to this little girl who was attached to him, but only at this moment did he realize that everything was so warm and plain, there was no such thing as Too much explanation is necessary.

You're back.

Yes, I am back.

Such a dialogue is for them,

is enough.

Ding Ding Ding-!

At this moment, there was a familiar sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miri looked at each other, and Nishimaru Miri, who was in a good mood, squinted and said, "It's Sister Xia Li. She also heard that you were sick and wanted to come see you."

"This guy is not such a kind person." Higashinohara smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, when Xia Li came to visit Higashinohara, she was holding an apple and a banana she didn't know where to break it. Those who didn't know it thought she was going to the zoo to feed the monkeys.

As soon as she entered the door, Charlie's nose twitched twice, and her eyes fell on the induction cooker.

"It smells so good, Sister Kolotia!"

Kolotia smiled and said, "Haha, Charlie-chan hasn't had dinner yet, let's wait."

"Okay, okay." Charlie nodded.

After confirming the whereabouts of tonight's dinner, she came up to Higashinohara, staring at Higashinohara who was yellow and haggard under the light and shook her head.

She glanced at Nishimaru Miri who was standing beside her, opened her mouth a little hesitantly, then swallowed her words again, with a look of hesitating to speak.

Seeing this picture, Higashinohara was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Xia Li slammed her mouth and finally said, "Dongye, as a good friend, I don't know if I should say something."

good friend?

We are not that close.

Let you eat a few meals and become good friends.

Dong Yeyuan complained in his heart, but said in his mouth, "I don't know if I should say it, so don't say it, let's eat first."

Charlie choked up when she heard the words.

She was just habitually polite. Who could hide her words? If she didn't say that she could suffocate herself, she quickly said, "Dongye. Did you go there?"

There?

What does this guy know?

Higashinohara glanced at the two long, restless ears on her head, and asked calmly, "Where are you talking about?"

"It's a place to send warmth to rich women."

Charlie paused for a while, then looked at the haggard Higashinohara, her expression became a little more determined, "I asked the boss why I haven't seen you these days, the boss said that you are so handsome, and most of the time you use the vacation to go there. I'm doing a part-time job, and although I envy you for making money, I still want to say that it's not right!"

This time, it was Higashinohara's turn to be dumbfounded. Even if it was a part-time job, I was doing it in an open and honest way.

Make money? For life.

Why is it wrong.

Wait, Higashinohara was surrounded by a string of words from Xia Li, and only then did she realize that the first sentence she said was "send warmth to the rich woman".

I'm more or less the same as sending warmth to alien demons.

He glanced at her angrily, "Your boss has a hole in his head, be careful, don't fall into it."

"Ah? Did the boss guess wrong?" Charlie looked at Higashinohara in surprise.

"Yes, there are ghosts!" Higashinohara said.

Although Nishimaru Miri is young, he is so familiar with the information age that he does not understand what the two are saying.

Although she didn't know where Higashinohara went for the past week or so after disappearing, she still said to Xia Li seriously, "Sister Xia Li, big brother is going to do something very important, not what the boss downstairs said. That way."

"Oh! I said it. Well! This apple and banana should be your apology." Charlie's eyes were full of reluctance.

Higashinohara definitely does not want this kind of apology.

But in order to make this second-hand meat hurt, he not only took it, but also peeled one and ate it on the spot.

Um? Why is this banana smelling weird? Wasn't it given to him after a long time?

Dinner was, of course, for four people.

Although Higashinohara doesn't like to see this second-hand, but in that lost hell world, I live under the cold sun every day when there is no temperature.

Charlie, a girl from the Okinawa countryside who is chasing her dreams in the big city of New Tokyo, is at least warm and sincere in her dealings with others.

After the meal, Kolotia cleaned up the dishes, Charlie and Nishimaru Miri helped, and the "sick" Higashinohara sat on the tatami and continued to rest.

He was a little bored and turned on his mobile phone, swiped the news, and wanted to see if there were any follow-up reports about the big commotion in the sky tree today.

Higashinohara evacuated decisively after completing the mission today. He was not quite sure about the outcome of the battle between the man from the West Sea and the Fifth Judgment Envoy, so he couldn't help but be curious.

He thought that the big figures in the Shangjing Judgment Department had put official pressure on Wano Kingdom, and all the relevant reports about what happened in the Sky Tree today might have been suppressed long ago.

Unexpectedly, there were not many related reports about what happened to the sky tree after he left, but a large number of short videos and screenshots of the scene were circulated on the Internet.

The source of these materials is not any news media, but an outdoor anchor named "Kaka" whose water pipe network has been blocked so far.

Higashinohara looked through the enthusiastic and even excited comments below, and his expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Whether it's a short video or a screenshot, it's basically a picture of him in the [World Destroyer] state and the ruling making Adeline frantically fight in the Tianwang Corridor.

Some people even made a motion picture of him grabbing the sixth ruling, causing Adeline to slam back and forth on the back of the neck.

In the public's perception, those who challenge the rulings of the world's government power institutions are all warriors who are behind the scenes.

But compared to the last time with the dragonfly captain and the fox-faced man, the man in today's video has instantly caught the attention of people from all over the world.

Don't say anything else.

The 3.5-meter-high body, full of muscle knots and full of strength, is enough to leave an indelible impression on everyone's mind.

In particular, the opponent's sixth verdict in Tianwang Corridor made Adeline's motion picture full of almost unspeakable magic.

Many people have watched it once and want to watch it a second time.

brainwashing

It's so brainwashed.
