I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

At nine o'clock in the morning, Sousuke Araki, who was snoring loudly, was lying on the sofa in the conference room of the "Institute of Truth", sleeping soundly.

"Well, this second-hand 370Z is not bad, but I don't know how many times it has been shaken... How much is the car loan? A successful person like me buys a car, of course it pays the full price!"

He was blushing and dreaming, and was still holding on to the suitcase under the sofa with one hand.

"My heart is like a mirror, I am not anyone else, I will definitely hang a rainbow in this sky"

The crisp mobile phone rang suddenly, causing Araki Sousuke to slowly open his bewildered eyes.

"My heart is like a mirror, so meaningless, is the 'future me' seen by these eyes still trustworthy?"

"I made a mistake, I forgot to turn off the phone before going to bed... Who, it's so early in the morning, don't you know that I was tossed about the ups and downs of life yesterday?"

"My heart is like a mirror, the facts are slowly receding, and I go to the other side of the rainbow to wait for a different future"

"Hiss, my head hurts... pain..."

Enduring the hangover headache and groping around for a long time, Sousuke Araki finally found the annoying mobile phone in the crack of the sofa.

"A number I've never seen before... You don't have to go to work so early for telecom fraud, right? You disturbed my sleep, are you ready to be scolded?!"

Although it was an unfamiliar call, Sousuke Araki still pressed the connect button out of the idea of ​​"I will give you a good lecture after waking me up." I don’t order anything by phone, I don’t need a loan, I already have a (long-term rental) house, I don’t confirm any courier and bank transfers, I don’t have any equipment to watch HNK TV at home, my Jing is very expensive, you can’t afford it, and it’s no longer available Need to work hard."

"Ara... Wood... Jun..."

After a second of silence, a low, indistinct, non-human hoarse voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"I'm fine... the fishing rod... I'll leave it to you... don't trust... anyone..."

The dry and piercing voice like rust friction, as if he hadn't spoken for hundreds of years, made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What kind of liver carving? Hey, what are you..."

Araki Sousuke, who was already dizzy, was still recollecting the inexplicable words of the other party, when the blind voice of "beep beep beep beep" came from the other end of the phone.

"What's the harassing phone call?!"

Throwing the phone aside in displeasure, Araki Sousuke looked around the empty meeting room with some guilt.

"It's so quiet, Lu Dou drank so much last night, he probably hasn't gotten up yet... SAFE."

After confirming that he did not see Mai Hanyu, he got up slowly with dry mouth, came to the empty "Houkai Ludou Exclusive Workstation", and opened the "Houhai Ludou Fat House Happy Water Small Refrigerator" ...

"This guy, his taste has become more and more strange recently."

From the refrigerator full of "Girl's Holy Water", he finally took out the last bottle of DR.PEPPER, and he began to drink it with his head tilted back.

"Patter."

In the next second, the coded door of the Institute of Truth was pushed open, and Atsukai Luto and Hanyu Mai walked in with sad expressions and complicated eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough... You two night owls, you both woke up so early today. Could it be that the earth is going to be destroyed..."

Swallowing the drink that almost choked into the trachea, Araki Sousuke was halfway joking with the two, but found that the atmosphere didn't seem right: "... What, what's wrong?"

"I should have thought of it earlier..."

After entering the door, Mai Hanyu slumped down on the sofa, buried her pretty pale face between her knees, and muttered something in a low voice.

"Black Claw...it must be them..."

Her usual frenzied excitement was completely gone, leaving only a distressing weakness.

"Ara, Araki-kun!"

The distraught and pale Atsukai Ludo stepped forward and grabbed Sousuke Araki's hands tightly.

"What, what's the matter? Didn't you just drink your last bottle of DR.pepper, I'll go down later for convenience..."

In the other party's red and swollen eye sockets, an unknown flame was burning: "Uncle Shiben... he is dead!"

"Pfft... Shiben... the old man... is dead?!"

Hearing the news, Sousuke Araki lost focus of his eyes and froze his expression. He sprayed Dr. Pepper all over Hou Kai Lu Dou's glasses...

"Just kidding, a few hours ago, he was fine..."

He didn't even notice that the suitcase in his hand fell to the ground silently, and a large bundle of "Fukuzawa Yukichi" spilled out.

"I'm not joking. It was an unnatural death. The police are upstairs collecting evidence at the scene..."

Wiping the drink off his face carelessly, Hou Hai Lu Dou continued to say word by word: "Araki-kun, we must find the murderer!"

Although I complain a lot about this uncle who can never remember his full name and loves to use his childhood nickname...

However, the two siblings have received a lot of care from Tokimoto Ichiro, both financially and in life, in Tokyo these years, and their relationship is quite deep.

"Lu Dou, you..."

At this moment, Sousuke Araki finally understood, the flame in the eyes of Hou Hai Lu Dou, who has always been submissive, is called hatred.

"I know... Evil Flower, it must be them, they have done it..."

The conversation with Tokimoto Ichiro last night gradually became clear in his mind.

"What the hell... Araki-kun?!"

Amid the exclamation of Atsukai and Ludou, Araki Sousuke had already pushed open the door of the "Institute of Truth" like a gust of wind, and rushed into the elevator.

"Ding."

As the elevator door opened, what came into view was the corridor of the Eliminator Association blocked by a large number of yellow tapes.

Several police officers wearing gloves, goggles, and masks were holding various instruments and carefully collecting evidence.

"Hey, who are you, this is a blocked area now, entry is prohibited... Ugh!"

Two police officers in charge of maintaining order wanted to step forward to expel Sousuke Araki, but he knocked him to the ground without paying attention.

"You kid, do you want to hinder the official business... Hurry up, stop him, the footprint collection is not over yet..."

There was no time to react, they could only watch each other cross the yellow line area and run along the corridor.

At the end of the corridor behind the yellow line, two slumped figures were kneeling at the door of Ichiro Tokimoto's office, motionless.

"Ara, senior Araki!"

Seeing Araki Sousuke running in a hurry, one of them raised his head and called out to him in a low voice.

"Teacher Shiben, he... woo woo woo woo..."

It was Yamada Kengo who burst into tears.

Kneeling beside him was Toda Hiroshi who was staring at the ground in a daze without saying a word.

"What is it now... President Tokimoto, he really..."

Arriving at the door, Sousuke Araki stretched out his hand towards the closed office door, wanting to push the door in and confirm this unreal fact with his own eyes, but he hovered there because of a certain throbbing in his heart.
