Civilization Guardian Front

Immediately, the girl froze on the spot...

She saw it, a name she had known for a long time, but for some reason, she always avoided contact with it.

"The person most likely to know more..."Earl of Pembroke" Chios Pesheim William Marshall. "

Chapter 310 Three? Don't say such embarrassing things

August 9th 8:18

Tokyo, West Shinjuku Quintessence French Cuisine...

"I basically understand the situation..."

The ceiling is built with simple dark wood, and the floor is matched with slate tiles. In a small private room that combines Japanese Zen with modern architecture, a young man and woman sit opposite each other at the dining table.

The black-haired young man was wearing a black-blue shirt, with the sleeves folded up to the elbow, exposing the rose gold Athens watch on his left wrist, adding a touch of casualness to his perfectly neat appearance.

After cutting the fish on the plate into medium-sized pieces with a knife and fork, and dipping them in the frothy sauce that the chef drew on the edges, Chios stopped his movements.

"You want to clear the suspicion that your mother was identified as a "Butei Killer", so you need to arrest the real culprit.Judging from the two incidents of the Maritime Self-Defense Force being attacked, you judge that the two things are related, so you want to find Kana Toyama’s younger brother Kinji Toyama, get more information from him, and even get a S-level evaluation of Butei's help. "

The words paused for a while, and he raised his head to look at the pink-haired girl sitting opposite.

Although he was wearing a mature black dress, with the side parted bangs fixed with hairpins, revealing a part of his flawless forehead like porcelain, the childishness shown by the other party's petite figure and double ponytail hairstyle was too strong, so that he paid more attention to dressing up Also to no avail.

"Unfortunately, Toyama Kinji recently asked for leave to return to Sugamo's ancestral home. It should not be convenient to disturb him in a short period of time. Therefore, during the hijacking of the Mori Building, he had an intersection with Toyama Kana, and the intelligence network became more The complete me will become the object of your inquiry."

"Um..."

From the moment she stepped into the private room, Aria, whose expression showed a trace of nervousness and uneasiness inexplicably, after listening to Chios' summary, silently clenched the hem of her skirt with her hands under the table.

The motives of his behavior were clearly stated, even if the content was completely in line with the truth, it still made people feel a little embarrassed.

What's more, as long as she stays near the man in front of her, she can't calm down at all.

The sense of crisis, as if being aimed at by several guns at the same time, made her breathe faster, her heart beat faster, and her adrenaline was also stimulated. The muscles and nerves of her whole body were in a state of excitement, ready to fight or flee at any time.

This kind of physiological reaction does not slow down with time, and the excessively high energy is accumulated in the body, but there is no way to vent it, resulting in a slight dizziness.

However, Aria, who is asking for help, cannot escape without reason.

Especially if the other party didn't offend me...

All the anxious expressions of the pink-haired girl fell into the eyes of Chios.

(This is the side effect caused by too strong intuition...)

It was not the first time he had seen the interference of the will of the world, and he knew it well.

If you don't handle it well, this kind of strong emotion can easily turn into an equal degree of hostility, but if you guide it well, you might be able to save yourself a lot of trouble.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm actually very happy that you are willing to ask me for help..." A gentle smile appeared on the handsome face, and the black-haired young man stabbed a piece of fish with a silver fork and brought it to his mouth.

"After all, I've always thought you were repelling me, ever since I was invited to your 12th birthday party and you never looked at me."

"Ugh? "

Aria was taken aback.

She had no idea that the Earl of Pembroke, whose aristocratic rank was much higher than that of the Holmes family, had attended her birthday party.

Not impressed at all...

"At that time, Aria had golden flaxen hair and sapphire eyes that reflected the color of the sky..."

Under the girl's suspicious gaze, Chios first returned a self-deprecating smile, and then his eyeballs moved slightly to the upper left, revealing a hint of reminiscence just right.

"Although it is still beautiful now, the scene I first saw at that time is still vivid in my memory, and it is clearly and deeply imprinted in my memory."

"You, you, you..." Aria, who was completely deceived by the youth's superb acting skills, jumped out of the seat almost as if she was bouncing.

Her cheeks were so red that she was about to spew out steam. She stretched out her hand, but soon realized that she was impolite. In the end, she clenched her fist and pressed her chest. subside.

"Don't...don't say such embarrassing things, stupid..."

The last word was only half spoken, and there was no more words.

She knew when the change in her pupil color and hair color started, and the time the other party mentioned happened to be the last period before the change.

Can use this expression to say the details that most people don't remember, it should be impossible to be fake...

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly felt guilty.

The man in front of him was a nobleman second only to the British royal family, and he was ignored by him, but he didn't remember it at all.

Her emotions are fully expressed in her facial expressions and body movements.

Chios, who was sitting across from him, easily guessed most of the girl's thoughts without even saying a word.

"You want to know about Kana Toyama..."

The purpose of disturbing the intuition of the other party has been achieved, so the young man no longer spends more time on chatting, and quickly finishes the few dishes left on the plate. After taking a sip of white wine, he directly cuts to the point:

"First of all, it is necessary to clarify one thing. Why does Toyama Kana, who is under the command of the special director of the Buteijutsu Agency, have contact with "that organization"? "

"Isn't it very simple..." Talking about the business that he was most concerned about, Aria immediately re-sat, and replied seriously:

"Two frigates were destroyed and more than [-] sergeants died in the line of duty. It is impossible for the Japanese government not to hold them accountable."

"This is a good reason, but we all know that unless the other party shows up on its own, that organization is by no means an easy target for people to find. Then the problem comes..."

Shaking the liquid in the goblet with one hand, Chios leaned against the back of the chair and raised his feet gracefully.

"What is difficult for the world's top military detectives and spies to do, why can she be different?"

Hearing this, Aria frowned slightly.

For some reason, she always felt that the young man's words were not only about Kana's situation, but also seemed to imply something.

"You...you mean..."

The girl opened her mouth to ask for clarification, but was interrupted by the other party before her words were organized.

"Sorry, that's all for today's conversation, I have something to do later..."

Lifting his left wrist and looking at his watch, Chios placed the folded napkin next to the bread plate and got up immediately.

"Let me explain the rest at the next meeting. At that time, I will prepare gifts and pay a visit."

Chapter 310 Four? Strange

Walking out of the Quintessence French restaurant, Aria waved a taxi and came to the single-family house near Higashi-Okubo Park.

After he pushed the door and got off the car, several lines of sight were focused from several ordinary-looking private cars parked around the park in an instant.

Kanzaki Kanae, who was once dubbed "Butei Killer" and was ordered by prosecutors to be sentenced to 900 years in prison, although her current situation has improved due to the terrorist attack a few months ago.However, the suspicion has not been completely cleared, and he has been placed under house arrest in an independent private house. Not only is his access strictly restricted, but even the streets outside the house are guarded secretly by plainclothes police at any time.

After discovering that the visitor was a pink-haired girl, these gazes were quickly withdrawn.

Aria has long been used to the prying eyes of the watchers. Apart from snorting lightly, she didn't show any more dissatisfaction, and pressed the doorbell in front of the metal gate.

Ding~dong...

After waiting for a short while, the light on the walkie-talkie turned green, and the owner asked politely in a gentle voice:

"Hello, who is this?"

"Mom, it's me."

"Oh, Aria, it's rather late today..." Hearing her daughter's familiar voice, Kane Kane's tone suddenly became less restrained.

The camera on the intercom was turned on, and when she saw Aria's current attire, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and said with a smile:

"You even put on a brand new dress. Could it be that you are going on a date with your boyfriend?"

"That's... that's not the case!" The pink-haired girl who was calm a second ago, her cheeks turned red visible to the naked eye, and her tone also rose sharply:

"Lianlian, being in love is so boring, what's more, how can I have time to do such shameless things before I help my mother clear her name!?"

"Oh~ Is that so?"

Kanae Kanzaki obviously didn't fully believe what Aria said.

"I'm just having a meal with the teacher..." As if she could see her mother's teasing and suspicious eyes through the camera, the girl waved her hands anxiously and explained:

"The other party is a British nobleman, no...it would be impolite not to change into more formal clothes..."

Speaking of the second half, she couldn't help recalling the anxiety and anxiety she had shown when she faced Chios in the restaurant. Affected by this, the words she blurted out became less certain.

Fortunately, Kanae Kanzaki, whose mind was affected by unexpected developments, did not tease her daughter further this time.

"Teacher... Great British nobleman..." There was a faint whisper from the other end of the walkie-talkie, and Aria could only faintly hear the first part, and couldn't hear the rest clearly.

This unusual reaction made the girl a little nervous.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"Huh? It's nothing, I just remembered something..." Reverting to her usual light tone, Kane Kanzaki's words brought back the previous abnormality.

Kick...

The electronic door lock on the gate of the single-family house was unlocked and slowly opened backwards.

"Come in, I've cooked miso soup and prepared your favorite peach man."

"Really? Thanks Mom!"

Hearing the name of her favorite food, the pink-haired girl's dignified expression immediately softened, jumping like a child getting candy, ignoring her mother's strangeness a moment ago, and walked briskly into the house.

...

In the southeast of Chiba Prefecture, Akabane in the mountainous valley between Katsuura City and Kamogawa City...

The road passing through the rice fields and the lush low mountains on both sides turn from emerald green to yellowish-brown after early autumn. Although it is not yet the season for viewing autumn leaves in Kanto, we can already glimpse the colorful layers of nature. .

The setting sun sets into the western horizon, and the afterglow brings the last golden glow to the earth, drawing the outline of the forest outer layer like a stroke, and the greenery that was bright in color not long ago was covered by shadows in the blink of an eye.

Low two-story houses, the courtyard is fenced by neatly trimmed shrubs, forming a small settlement at the corner of the narrow and long valley.

Areas where the majority of residents are farmers are facing a serious population outflow problem. Even in the daytime, except for middle-aged and elderly farmers who are working in the fields, there are no people on the entire road as far as you can see.

In the evening, even more so...

The not-too-noisy chirping of insects echoed in the valley, and the lights lit by the houses, compared with the surrounding dark night, were like little fireflies in the darkness, making people feel terribly quiet.

Among them, in the courtyard of a farmhouse closest to the depths of the valley, an elderly woman with snow-white hair, as the sun sank, put away her spade, took off her gloves, left her vegetable garden, and walked leisurely back to her room.

brush...

Pushing open the ancient sliding door, she soon smelled a little oily smoke and rice.

"This is..." Stepping faster, the old woman passed the old TV in front of the living room, and walked towards the kitchen with a worried expression on her face.

In the kitchen separated from the living room by a curtain, a brown-haired figure with an apron on his waist was busy preparing dinner in front of the stove.

Seeing this person's busy appearance, she couldn't help but sighed.

"Hey, girl, the injuries on your body should not have fully recovered, why do you force yourself to cook there..."

Hearing these words, the young woman in front of the hearth turned her head, her emerald-colored eyes were soft, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Grandma, you are back..." Kana Toyama said apologetically after first nodding to the old lady meekly and politely:

"After a few days of recuperation, my health has improved a lot. Since I can move my body more or less, I feel sorry for asking you to take care of me all the time."

After finishing speaking, she lifted the lid of the kettle rice, and showed the crystal clear rice to the other party after the heat dissipated.

Add a little mushrooms and chicken, and steam the pot rice with rice, exuding an appetizing aroma.Together with the potato ragout and fish soup cooking in the side pot, it is enough to make a delicious home-cooked dinner.

From Kana's movements and expressions, it was roughly confirmed that she was not too reluctant, and a smile finally appeared on the old woman's kind face that had aged with the passage of time.

"What a virtuous girl. She looks so pretty. Many boys must like her, right?"

"This..." Faced with such a question, Kana didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Hehe, I'd better not ask too much about young people..." Seeing Kana's embarrassment, the white-haired old woman turned her back with a smile and walked away slowly.

"Then I'll wait in the living room. I'm sorry to make you worry about preparing dinner."

"Where, a little thing is not a respect..."

Folding his hands in front of him, Toyama Kana gave a deep salute to the departing figure, and replied earnestly:

"You are willing to take in a person of unknown origin like me, and let me recuperate here. Thank you very much."
