On the crowded street, a cruise ship worker dressed as a bunny girl showed a bright smile and waved enthusiastically towards her husband.

The gentleman suddenly felt that Hoshino, who was holding his arm beside him, suddenly looked a little gloomy.

Although Hoshino would hug his arm on the street in the past, as soon as he saw someone passing by, the thin-skinned Hoshino would immediately let go of his hand.

But now... Sir, he only felt that his right arm was pressed tighter by Hoshino's arm, as if he was twisting a twist with iron pliers.

Hoshino's eyes were cold as he watched the group of cruise ship workers wearing bunny ears squeeze through the crowd and panted before walking to his husband.

They faced their husband, but their faces turned red, and they couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After hesitating for a long time, they did not dare to look into their gentle eyes, and suddenly bowed deeply:

"I... what we want to say is that we are all most grateful to sir! I wonder if you can come to our dormitory and sit for a while..."

The words the girls mustered up the courage to speak out became quieter and quieter.

Because the little man with pink hair and heterochromatic eyes, who was holding the gentleman's right arm, was glaring at them with a look so cold that it could kill.

It was a look that totally wanted to chop, cut, and chop them into pieces.

"I'm really sorry for disturbing the teacher!!"

This group of work-study students dressed as bunny girls had never seen such a terrifying battle. After apologizing, they immediately fled in panic.

Some children’s rabbit ear ornaments fell on the ground and they didn’t even have time to pick them up.

Looking at their backs blending into the crowd, the shadow on Hoshino's face finally dissipated a little.

"How popular you are, sir."

"I'm sorry, Hoshino..."

"Sir, there is nothing you need to apologize to, right? After all, you treat all students equally, so who am I to complain?"

The cold words were completely unlike what the usually lazy Hoshino would say.

She was rather like a little hedgehog with thorns all over her body. No matter who tried to touch her, they would be pricked with bloody holes on their hands.

The gentleman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his left hand that was still free.

The Hoshino in front of him was inexplicably similar to the first-year Hoshino in the old photos of the Countermeasures Committee.

The lively atmosphere on the street continues. Colorful light signs hang on the shopping streets, and students in doll costumes distribute free candies to passers-by in front of the dessert shop.

The candy wrapper is shiny and has a dazzling design.

Hoshino stared at the plate with candies for a while, feeling a little dazed.

It's funny to say that she has had such a strange dream over and over again in the past year:

In the busy street, in the shopping mall, in the park, among the strangers, one person suddenly turned his head.

He may be wearing doll clothes, convenience store work clothes, chef clothes from a street stall...

In short, hidden in any clothing that can be found everywhere.

But the person who turned around was the person she wanted to see the most.

I used to be Senior Meng, but now I am Mr.

Hoshino suddenly pulled his husband and walked quickly to the dessert shop.

She quickly tore open the packaging of the free sample candy on the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.

The sweet taste and the sour thoughts slipped into her mind.

The plastic candy wrapper was held in her hand and turned into a small crumpled ball.

Free samples of candy were given to everyone who passed by.

No one appreciates free stuff, and people quickly forget about it even after the plate is empty.

Only traces of sweetness remain.

(Maybe, he just wants to be forgotten)

When this thought flashed through Hoshino's mind, the sweet candy suddenly got stuck in his throat.

Big tears flowed out from those beautiful heterochromatic pupils.

"Cough, cough..."

"Hoshino? Are you okay, Hoshino!"

The husband shouted in panic and kept patting her back with his hands.

However, Hoshino cried even harder.

Chapter 053: Day 048·Office⑤

The rhythm of music and the din of voices could be heard all around.

The noisy sound, like bubbles rising from a cooking pot, absorbed Hoshino's sobs.

The husband half-knelt down, letting Hoshino's little head rest on his shoulder, and gently patted Hoshino's back with his big, generous hands.

Gentle movements and soothing rhythms were exactly the techniques he used to soothe Hoshino to sleep.

Feeling the distant warmth coming from behind, through a layer of shirt, the warmth of the palms slapping Hoshino's back became more intimate, more inseparable, and more... heartbreaking for her.

Hoshino didn't know why he was crying.

Hoshino thought he had shed all his tears long ago.

In the past, she only thought that this man was a treasure given to them by God, bringing her sunshine and protecting her from the rain.

She had become quietly dependent on him, that was all.

Unknowingly, tears had wet the fabric on Mr.'s shoulders.

She is 17 years old and is no longer an ignorant little girl.

She would look at her husband's loose clothes in the office clothes drying room in a daze, and then blush.

Unconsciously, I thought about the scene where he was unconsciously pressed beneath me——

Because she knew that Mr. Sober would not take action against them.

Unconsciously, I touched my husband's clothes and put it under my nose to smell his scent.

She thought she was using him, this useful man.

Cover up the scars in your heart with an insincere and lazy voice, and casually ask for his help in a relaxed and comfortable tone,

Then he nudged him toward the kids who liked him.

She thought that this way she could avoid the poison called Mr.

Little did they know, the stinger had already penetrated the body of the swimming fish.

Just like the tentacles of a cnidarian jellyfish, it captures an innocent swimming fish and then injects nerve-paralyzing toxins into its body, causing the fish to sink into the abyss of death in an unconscious dream.

Hoshino was watching helplessly as his body continued to fall, fall.

But she suddenly smiled happily.

Her love finally broke out at the age of 17, a young flower blooming on the dry surface of despair, and it was destined to be unable to bear any fruit, because the object of her love was her husband, who had already lost hope of survival.

Since everything is doomed, since the warm bonfire will eventually turn into ashes,

Then she can throw herself into this warm bonfire without any psychological burden.

Chapter 053: Day 048·Office⑥

Hoshino held his husband's hand tightly, covering the overly bright sunshine at three o'clock in the afternoon with one hand, and walked forward with a smile on his face.

They still had a bit of walking to do before taking the island-circuit express to the Sea World at the port.

Hoshino didn’t want to call a taxi.

Although the sun's rays were so intense that she couldn't help but mutter "It's so hot~" in a low voice,

But facing the concerned look from her husband, she deliberately turned her face away to prevent him from seeing the glistening drops of sweat on her cheeks.

The hot weather makes time slow down.

But she would rather let time slow down forever.

The pink-haired girl held her husband's hand and walked around in a circle to visit nearby attractions as if on vacation.

They went to the mall to buy a new pair of sunglasses and some fancy-looking straw hats, and tasted the local delicacies that are said to be not to be missed——

It's really just clam chowder simmered with potatoes and cream, served in a ball of bread.Naturally, it is incomparable to the craftsmanship of General Chaiguan.

However, Hoshino ate happily, and deliberately used a spoon to hold the milky white soup, and sprinkled a few drops on his white collarbone and chest.

This made Mr. look very embarrassed.

"In the eyes of other students, the teacher must be dating a female student again."

Hoshino smiled proudly, "The rumors among students will become more intense now."

The husband could only hold his forehead and shake his head helplessly.

Hoshino's smile is pure and lovely, the sun is shining brightly, without a trace of gloom.

She deliberately did not look at the empty plate in front of her husband, nor the wrinkles on his forehead, nor his already thin chest.

Compared to other children, Hoshino is better at hiding his emotions.

As long as she intentionally blocks her thoughts, sadness rarely bothers her.

After eating, they continued towards the tram stop located halfway up the mountain by the sea.

They passed by the cafe managed by Iori and saw that Miyu Kasumazawa, under Iori's special training, had been able to overcome her social fear a little, put on an apron, and received customers in a panic.

Although Miyu's voice is still as thin as a gnat, and her passive skills lack a sense of presence, she is particularly easy to be ignored by customers.

But it's a good start after all.

They passed through the neighborhood where Abydos is now stationed.

After Mr.’s training and education, the Countermeasures Committee already has some experience in urban construction.

With Nomi Izayoi in charge of finances and Ayane Okora in charge of investment planning, this narrow neighborhood quickly became revitalized.

Not only is the business operating well, but the careful Ayane also instructs the construction robot to transplant many green plants.

Even the edges of the ditch were planted with purple-red hydrangeas, which were placed in flower baskets.

Whenever the sea breeze blows, the delicate petals fall in the wind and scatter on the water, like a small boat floating on the water.

They stopped on the river embankment and watched the beautiful rain of colorful flowers falling into the stream.

Hoshino squinted his eyes and smiled, sighing in a lazy tone:

"Those kids are so awesome. It looks like I can retire now, uncle~"

The husband couldn't help but ruffled her hair:

"It sounds like you are not 17 years old, but 70 years old... The juniors are working so hard, but as a senior, you are very relaxed."

"Well, it's human nature to catch fish. How about you give it a try, sir, and don't force yourself so much?"

After hearing Hoshino's calm tone of persuasion, the gentleman still smiled and slowly turned his face away.

He didn't answer.

But a thousand words were already contained in this sudden silence.

Chapter 053: Day 048·Office⑦

Unable to get a positive answer, Hoshino was neither angry nor regretful.

With a smile still on her face, she stretched out her little hand and took her husband's hand and walked forward.

Even among the crowd, those golden and blue pupils are unique.

They boarded the express line around the island and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.

With a "ding dong" sound, the tram arrived at the station, but it ended at a military port.
