As evening approaches, Tokyo is dyed golden by the sunset,

In the refraction of light, the sunset that crossed the city skyline climbed up to the high-rise buildings, leaving dazzling halos on the outer glass. The crossroads in the distance gradually became blurred, as if they had been added.

Layer a nostalgic movie filter.

At this moment, the concrete steel forest seemed to have finally slowed down.

After coming out of the supermarket, carrying large and small shopping bags, Kitagawa Che and Ejima Myo were on their way home.

Walking on the sidewalk, Kitagawa Che slowed down a little, turned his eyebrows and looked at the city's main road just around the corner.

At this time, it was the peak period of commuting, and the traffic flow gathered together. The originally spacious road was completely occupied by the dense traffic.

However, due to city regulations, there was traffic jam at this time and there were few whistles. In comparison, the roar of car engines and the conversations of passers-by on both sides of the sidewalk were particularly clear.

Looking away, Kitagawa Che started chatting with great interest, "Miao, do you know when there was no difference between a good car and an ordinary car?"

"When?"

Ejima Miao turned her head, with more doubts in her eyes.

This topic was too exciting, and she couldn't keep up with her thoughts for a while.

"Here." Kitagawa Teru deliberately slowed down two steps and motioned to Myo Ejima, who was walking on the sidewalk, to look towards the driveway, "In this traffic jam, no matter if you have a good car or an ordinary car, in the traffic

You have to wait patiently until the indicator light changes."

"Oh."

Ejima Miao agreed and pulled Kitagawa Che closer to the sidewalk.

The next moment, a hurried office worker ran past him.

"Actually, there is one thing that I have always been curious about." Ejima Miao paused, "Ache, why do you suddenly want to learn fighting?"

In Ejima Myo's impression, Kitagawa Che had never been interested in such fighting. During the time when she went to receive specialized training, Mrs. Kitagawa asked her young master if she wanted to learn together, but at that time

He refused, and he refused quite decisively.

It's like he's not interested at all and doesn't intend to have anything to do with it.

Not just once or twice, he refused like this when she was learning mixed martial arts, and he also refused like this when she dabbled in kendo.

As for after the accident, my young master rarely said anything at home, let alone refused, and the same was true at school. It was only from this month that he started to talk relatively more.

"My interest suddenly came."

Kitagawa Che has already thought about how to answer this question.

As a time traveler, he knows very well how serious school bullying is in Tokyo.

He doesn't want to bully others, but he also doesn't want to be fooled by those campus delinquents with cock-heads.

If you want to fight against hot violence on campus, the best way is to have countermeasures.

Taking action is always the worst option, but you have to have this option.

What's more, I still have such a learning panel. Since I have such a prerequisite advantage, I should make good use of it.

17 years old, afraid that campus is not violent enough.jpg

Of course, this is just a joke.

Kitagawa Che didn't plan to practice this skill to a high level, just enough for self-defense, and he didn't even think about doing more.

"Is it really just interest?"

Ejima Miao blinked, her red eyes filled with suspicion.

"I just feel that I have to have the basic ability to protect myself." Kitagawa Teru glanced at Ejima Miao, but the latter didn't realize it. He had no choice but to hold her wrist with his free hand.

He grabbed her hard and said, "Hey! It's a red light."

The two of them had reached the crossroads unknowingly.

This intersection is also the last intersection you pass on your way home.

"Sorry, Master, I didn't pay much attention."

Myo Eshima subconsciously lowered her head and apologized.

After the words fell, the passers-by around them turned their heads to look at them in surprise, but quickly withdrew their gaze. However, retracting their gaze did not mean that they did not care. Many people quietly pricked up their ears.

, the soul of gossip begins to burn brightly, and I hope to hear more gossip before the traffic light turns green.

Hiss.

Beichuan Che took a breath.

It's not that I'm surprised that this child is so scary, nor is I too uncomfortable with the reactions of people around me. I just feel that Eshima's behavior of keeping Marseille private at all times is really hard for him.

He even had a premonition that if he didn't answer Ejima Miao, the girl would immediately add the sentence "Red Dorney Private Marseille".

"You don't need to apologize for this kind of thing, right?" Kitagawa Che shook his head and lowered his voice, "I remember a saying that said, the more familiar friends are, the more natural they should be to get along with each other. It's such a small thing.

, isn’t it a simple task, but it’s not right to treat each other as guests.”

In his life experience, generally speaking, the more polite each other is, the more normal the relationship will be.

"I..."

"Okay, it's time to answer the question you just asked." Kitagawa Teru interrupted Ejima Myo's words, and his eyes fell on the indicator light on the other side of the street. There were still fifteen seconds left on the red light at the crosswalk, and he felt deep in his heart

He counted silently for ten seconds, and then said, "Boys, they always crave power."

Just in time, the red light turned to green.

"It's time to go."

After reminding Ejima Miao, Kitagawa Che took a step forward. While looking at both sides of the zebra crossing, he took her hand and walked to the other side of the street.

When the two of them walked through the intersection and stepped onto the road inside the residential area, Kitagawa Che let go of Eshima Myo's hand.

"But, young master, you..."

Myo Eshima did not finish speaking, but her meaning was conveyed.

"The answer is that people always change."

"But it will be hard."

Myo Eshima's eyes were quite serious. She gritted her teeth and completed the training that lasted for a year. The reason was that she hoped that through such training, she could protect him in the future.

"There is no life without hard work."

"If the young master says so." Ejima Myo no longer insisted on her own ideas, "then, I understand, I respect your ideas and will fully support your ideas."

"But..." She changed the topic, her eyes were clear and firm, and she didn't know whether it was due to the dusk light. Her side face was stained with a layer of red clouds, "If you are just trying to protect yourself,

I don’t think there is any need to spend time on this matter, because I will protect you and I will be by your side, always.”

In the year when she was adopted by the Kitagawa family, because of her rustic accent and overall lack of self-confidence, after she transferred to the elementary school where Kitagawa Che was also there, she was bullied a lot by other children.<

/p>

Being precocious, she knew that if something went wrong again if she had just been adopted, it would definitely make the Beichuan couple unhappy.

Even if they were very kind to her, maybe it was because of the cowardice and inferiority in her heart that she chose to endure the bullying from other children.

Until one day, Kitagawa Che knew about this.

He, who had always been quite indifferent to her, waved his fist at the people who were bullying her that afternoon.

Two versus five, although they won miserably, they still won.

Both he and she had bruises and bruises, but the other one was more serious.

After that time, no one bullied her again.

After the Beichuan couple learned about this incident, they did not blame Beichuan Che, nor did they blame her. They just gently told her that she must resist next time she encounters such a thing.

This matter was brought to the attention of the principal, and there was no so-called peace and quiet. The principal stood on their side.

From that day on, she became firm in her thoughts.

No matter when or where, she will stay by his side, even if she can only be a valet.

This is also the reason why she was able to grit her teeth and carry through those trainings the year before last and complete them to the best of her ability.

There was silence between the two again.

After walking for another distance, the roads in the residential area suddenly became empty.

They were the only ones left in the street, and the sky was dyed red by the burning clouds.

Kitagawa Che's expression relaxed a little, and his tone was calm and serious. He gently touched the back of Eshima Myo's hand with the back of his hand, "Is it possible that I hide behind you when I encounter a problem? That's not good, right?

"If I have a choice, I still prefer to have the ability to protect myself. Ideally, I can also protect the people I want to protect, such as...you."

As the words fell, Miao Eshima's heart skipped a beat.
