【Jing Lin】Yes

Lin also has such a mentality, what will he do, he can't control everything, he can only choose the most stupid but the most sincere way.

He thought that the only thing he could do at this time was to stay by his side and protect him as Orihara Rinya said.

When he walked to the door of Orihara Rinya's apartment, Shizuo had already smoked five cigarettes in this way of thinking. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't touched cigarettes. He had always relied on cigarettes to suppress his inner irritability. After so many days of repressed psychology, he was finally liberated after smoking.

After throwing the men in black into an alley away from the street in several separate trips without attracting attention, Shizuo stopped by a convenience store on the way back.After all, this is Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro's strongest reputation is heard here, but after all, not many people know the true face of Shizuo Heiwajima, so looking at this shirtless body covered with bandages, but his face The man with a gentle expression, the cashier lady kindly persuaded him not to smoke for the time being, but in the end the cashier lady couldn't hold back the man's insistence and sold him the cigarettes.

After pushing open the broken door and going in, what he saw was still a mess, Orihara Rin was lying on his desk without work, his mobile phone and pocket knife were put aside, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shizuo saw his blood-stained white shirt still on the desk, and walked quickly towards the desk.As soon as he touched the edge of the desk, Shizuo saw Orihara Rin, whose eyes were slightly closed, also suddenly frowned.

"Xiao Jing, smoking is not allowed here."

Shizuo was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Lin Ye could smell his own body. He picked up the shirt, turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

"I'm not going to smoke in your room. Also, lend me the sink."

The blood stains on the clothes were so glaring that Shizuo frowned in disgust. Thinking that he only had this shirt to wear for the time being, he began to wash the clothes seriously since he cared about the things his brother gave him.

Shizuo calculated silently in his heart, and estimated that it has been a week since he was injured and hospitalized today, and he has not bought a new one since his mobile phone was destroyed in the explosion. Seniors have contacted.Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hold back when he thought of his younger brother who might be waiting for his news in Ikebukuro.

It is not difficult to wash the clothes soaked in the blood from the human body, and maybe because Shizuo rubbed them very hard, the shirt quickly returned to its original white color.After casually taking a hanger from the bathroom and hanging the clothes on the balcony, Shizuo slowly returned to the living room.

Seeing Lin Ye still looking bored, he finally couldn't help but said, "Well, Lin Ye, I want to go back to Ikebukuro."

"Return." Lin Ye replied quickly, even laying his head on the table without lifting it.

"..."

Jingxiong didn't speak, but the long unnatural silence made Lin Ye put up his body with a strange smile: "Why, do you want me to go back with you?"

"……Um."

Heiwajima Shizuo had already thought of many reasons in his mind to persuade Orihara Rin to follow his actions, but he did not expect Orihara Rin to agree so readily, he didn't say any words of persuasion, and the other party just said "Xiao Jing, who has always wanted to drive me out of Ikebukuro, took the initiative to invite me to Ikebukuro this time. How could I live up to my good intentions?" Such a reason interrupted all his thoughts, and then he returned to his own The room began to unpack.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them must have left the apartment. The clothes that had been drying for a few hours were not finished, and there were still some water-stained coolness, but the wound would not be infected, so Shizuo was not there. Put it on directly.When walking out of the door of the apartment, Shizuo looked back and saw Lin Ye coming out dragging a small suitcase, and couldn't help but take the weightless suitcase.

"Why do I suddenly feel like I want to go on a trip with Xiao Jing?"

Lin Ye skipped down the stairs, and Shizuo Heiwajima followed behind him, watching in horror.

"Forget it, who would travel with a flea like you." Shizuo finally grabbed Lin Ye's arm at the second staircase to stop his dangerous behavior.

Although the reason Shizuo Heiwajima said was to go back and say hello to acquaintances so as not to worry them, but seeing the mess of the house that could not be recovered, Shizuo also proposed to Lin to live in his house for a period of time, and Lin also just After hesitating for a while, he agreed.

"By the way, I have never even thought about staying at Xiaojing's house." On the way to the station in Shinjuku, Lin also sighed, "Are you sure you won't leave the house in the middle of the night?" Am I kicked out?"

Jingxiong looked at Lin Ye walking forward with ease, neither using a blind stick nor asking for his own help, and very tactfully did not do unnecessary things.

"Don't think of people so sinister, didn't you say you want me to be your bodyguard, and you said 'don't leave even one step', of course it's safer to live together."

Maybe it's because he hasn't been out on the street for a long time, Lin Ye sometimes hesitates at the intersection, and his walking speed is obviously slower than ordinary people.Shizuo has been trying to walk parallel to Lin Ye's side all the time, but unexpectedly, if he just takes two steps, the person next to him has already fallen one or two steps behind. This walking speed is really a bit aggrieved for him, but he also It's hard to say anything.As he walked, Jingxiong found that Lin also seemed to be unconsciously leaning towards him. Sometimes after walking a few steps, the two of them touched each other's arms, and Lin pursed his lips and continued walking at an angle.

Shizuo thought, it would be more efficient to take him by himself, but after hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't speak, until Orihara Lin also stopped at a certain intersection.

Why don't you go?

Shizuo originally wanted to ask this question, but when he lowered his head, he saw Orihara Rinya's slightly frowned brows and a not-so-serious expression.

Lin also put his hands into the pockets of his coat, his eyes wandered irregularly around, but he never took a step forward.Seeing Lin Ye's appearance, Shizuo understood the reason, and raised his eyebrows a little funny.

"Why are you standing still?" Even though he knew the reason, Shizuo deliberately kept a flat tone and asked, and as expected, he saw Orihara Rin raised his head and cast a dissatisfied gaze on him.

"...Xiao Jing is really too much." Lin Ye's face turned ugly as expected, "Normal people would not let a blind person lead the way."

Shizuo chuckled in his heart but didn't show it, nor did he reveal a certain truth he knew that night. Seeing Orihara Rin's slightly anxious expression, he proudly moved the hand that wasn't holding the suitcase. It reached into Lin Ye's pocket on the same side, grabbed Lin Ye's wrist, and then took it out.

"Come on, come with me." He raised his foot and walked forward without saying a word, ignoring the astonished expression of Orihara Rin beside him.

"Wait...wait for Xiaojing." Lin also found it difficult to keep up with Shizuo Heiwajima, "It's not necessary, just tell me which direction to go." He tried to break free from Shizuo Heiwajima hand, but the power is not at the same level.

"Don't babble there, when will we return to Ikebukuro according to your method." Ignoring Orihara Rinya's needless struggle, Shizuo clenched that somewhat slender wrist even more.

"Ha, so eager to see your dear brother." Lin Ye still shook his hands vigorously without giving up.

"Ah, that's right, so please give me some peace of mind."

A little annoyed by Orihara Rinya's meaningless movements, Shizuo simply grabbed both of Rinya's hands to stop Rinya from moving around.Apparently, he didn't expect the man's strength to be so great, and Shizuo Heiwajima restrained him with one hand while overlapping his hands, and Rin Orihara couldn't help but feel a burst of frustration after realizing the reality.Although there was a layer of coat material between the man's hand and the skin of his wrist, it was really uncomfortable for him to be held like this.

"Understood, at least let go of my other hand."

Shizuo turned to look sideways again, and after confirming that Orihara Rin had no intention of struggling anymore, he let go of one of the hands, still holding the other hand and walked towards the station.

Now that he thinks about it, Orihara Lin also went to the streets to explore the road only one night, no matter how powerful his memory is, it is impossible to memorize all the streets.

While lamenting how troublesome the blind people are, he had already walked to the station with Orihara Rinya.Orihara Lin was also very quiet along the way, keeping his head down and not speaking, letting him lead him to buy a ticket, get on the bus and find a seat to sit down.As soon as Lin sat down, he couldn't wait to shake off Jingxiong's hand, sitting next to Jingxiong without saying a word, Jingxiong glanced at Linye indifferently, and had no intention of speaking.

The drive from Shinjuku to Ikebukuro is not long, and it takes only ten minutes to get there. Shizuo wanted to smoke a little, but considering that this is a public facility, he resisted the urge and turned his head to look at the passing scenery outside the window.Orihara Rin was still very silent along the way, which made Shizuo feel a little strange. The reason why he used to bother this flea was because he always spoke disgusting words that he didn't understand, but now he is so quiet. Not quite used to it.

Looking back lightly, he realized that the reason why Lin Ye didn't speak was because he might have fallen asleep.The black-haired young man sat beside him with his head bowed, his eyes tightly closed, the red light in his pupils was well concealed, but he could still maintain a stable sitting posture on this bumpy car. I knew he wasn't really asleep.

"Are you tired?" Shizuo put his elbows on the edge of the window and asked quietly.

"...No, it's just that if I'm too awake, it will be uncomfortable to ride in the car, so I'll take a rest with my eyes closed." As expected, Orihara Lin didn't fall asleep, but he just lowered his head and replied lightly without opening his eyes .

"Oh." Shizuo didn't know what to say, but he could clearly see that Orihara Rin's expression was not very good either.

Is this the so-called motion sickness?Shizuo guessed randomly in his heart, but then he thought that Orihara Rin didn't seem to suffer from motion sickness, so he came to the conclusion that "it's related to the sequelae of blindness".

We will arrive in Ikebukuro in less than 5 minutes, Shizuo turned his head and didn't want to pay too much attention to it.When he turned his head, he noticed a pair of two people who seemed to be a mother and a son sitting in the front three rows. The son who was probably in his teens was resting on his mother's shoulder at the moment. Very pleasant.

Jingxiong couldn't help but turned his head to look at the information dealer who was sitting extremely unsteadily next to him, struggled for a while, then raised his hand and shook his shoulder.

"I said," he said with some difficulty, "you...would you like to lean on me?"

Orihara Rin finally had some reaction, raised his head and cast his eyes on him with a very strange expression.Frightened by this out-of-focus but straight gaze, Shizuo was stunned and continued to speak: "Uh...you don't feel well, as long as you don't press on my wound, you can lean on it."

Lin also suddenly laughed a few times with unknown meaning, but there was just a hint of irony in Shizuo's ears.Just as he was about to have an attack, the person in front of him suddenly tilted his body and leaned his head on his shoulder.

The black broken hair rubbed against the skin around the neck, and a slight itching sensation spread to the nerves.Shizuo was a little dazed, he didn't expect Orihara Rin to lean up like this, obviously he asked the question on his own initiative, but he couldn't respond for a while.

"I'm still in a daze for what I proposed. If you want to go back on it, I won't do it."

A clear male voice came from close at hand, with a playful tone, Shizuo came back to his senses, and turned his head to look out the window with some dissatisfaction: "Huh, who would repent, who told you that this flea is weak into this."

Orihara Rin also chuckled and didn't speak, Shizuo suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders sink a bit.Orihara Rin didn't fall asleep either, he just leaned on it like this, Shizuo was inevitably a little angry, but even though his shoulders were sore from the pillow, he didn't dare to move.

Shizuo cursed in his heart for his self-indulgence, as soon as the car arrived at the stop, he immediately pushed Rinya away, and then dragged Rinya out of the car quickly. Amidst Rinya Orihara's inexplicable ridicule, Shizuo rubbed himself slightly Sore shoulders.

"Xiao Jing is really stupid." An inexplicable provocation.

Jingxiong glared at Lin Ye fiercely, and realized that the other party couldn't see him, then he patted the other party's head vigorously: "Troubleshooting! Let's go!"

After saying this, he pulled the trolley of the suitcase and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he remembered something, stopped and turned around, and saw Orihara Lin stroking his forehead, with a slightly Standing there in pain, with no intention of leaving.

Recalling what he had done, Shizuo smacked his lips in embarrassment. Although Lin Ye's appearance was a bit strange, but realizing his mistake, he still walked back bravely, and first moved away with his gentlest strength. Lin Ye's hand, and then covered her own hand to help him rub the place that had been turned blue by herself.

"I'm sorry."

"Xiao Jing obviously wanted to take revenge like this, I have been thinking about it for a long time."

It was obviously a conversation with some gunpowder atmosphere, but Shizuo just shook his head and didn't continue talking. He lowered his head and blew a breath on the small blue mark, felt the other party's slight trembling, and then pulled up again. Liao Linye's hand continued to walk forward.

Walking on the road of Ikebukuro again, Rinya still felt a little unreal. Although he couldn't see anything in front of him, he could feel the air that belonged to Ikebukuro completely surrounded him, and a strange but familiar sense of breathing surged up everywhere in the body.He suddenly remembered that he was actually the vision that he lost in Ikebukuro. He had done countless things to escape here, but he did not expect that he would return here after a while, and he was inexplicably touched at this time.

"Lin Ye, I wanted to ask you before." In the quiet atmosphere, Jingxiong said softly, "Is it because I hurt you again in the alley that day that you lost your sight."

Lin also didn't expect Shizuo Heiwajima to ask this question. After hesitating for a while, he didn't answer.

"I still sometimes think that if you were not blind, our relationship would not be like this. I used to hate you so much, but now I think you are not so annoying."

Lin frowned calmly, but did not express it in words. "Don't be so sentimental, Xiao Jing, it's disgusting." He still said the usual words, "Besides, it's up to you whether you like me or not, I'm still Orihara Rinya."

Shizuo Heiwajima also suddenly smiled lightly, and Lin Ye could tell that there was no negative emotion in it.

The short and concise conversation between the two ended like this, but neither of them felt that there was any abruptness. After they quieted down, there were only the lightness of the breeze and the noisy conversation of pedestrians in their ears.Lin also felt a subtle change in mood, and his pace unconsciously became brisk.

In fact, what Orihara Rin needs to worry about when walking on the road in Ikebukuro is not whether he is familiar with the road or not. The existence of him and Shizuo Heiwajima is the most extraordinary source of Ikebukuro.The bombing of the Shinjuku intelligence house was on the news in Tokyo that day. People in Ikebukuro and Shinjuku had heard about it. It was not that the police had no plans to investigate, but Rinya Orihara secretly ordered it to be cancelled.The police often intervene in underworld affairs depending on the situation, and Orihara Lin also perfectly covered up this matter as a dispute within the underworld.

But even if Orihara Lin is not mentioned, the other party has no momentum to calm down.

Maybe Shizuo Heiwajima didn't know it himself, but the fact that he was seriously injured in the bombing and entered the intensive care unit was broadcast on the news in Ikebukuro for a while. Everyone in Ikebukuro was shocked by it. The famous strongest Ikebukuro would also He was hospitalized due to injuries, and the location of the incident turned out to be an intelligence office in Shinjuku.

Shizuo Heiwajima, who was walking on the road, finally realized that something was wrong here. The passers-by on the road were almost all looking in his direction in tacit understanding, pointing at him intentionally or unintentionally.He turned his head in confusion, and an office worker man who was following behind them hurriedly slowed down and lowered his head as if suddenly frightened.Shizuo glanced strangely at Rinya Orihara next to him, it seemed that he had also noticed the abnormalities around him, and his expression showed that he was paying attention to the surroundings helplessly.

"Xiao Jing, how far is this place from your home?" Lin Ye suddenly opened his mouth, making Jingxiong unable to react for a while.

"Huh? About 15 minutes."

"What is this place."

It was strange that Yu Linye asked the question, Jing Xiong still answered the question honestly, but Lin Ye suddenly let out a breath after listening to the answer, as if he had relaxed something.

"Xiao Jing, there is a cafe nearby, let's go there first." Saying this, Lin also suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Ah? Why?" Jingxiong obviously didn't keep up with Lin Ye's thinking rhythm.

"...if you don't want a picture of the two of us on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper, you can listen to me."

Shizuo Heiwajima looked down at Rinya Orihara's hand that he was still holding, and at that moment he finally realized the reason for the weird atmosphere along the way.

It wasn't until he sat down in the cafe that Shizuo stopped being annoyed at himself. He actually walked on the street so naturally and peacefully. For Ikebukuro, the possibility was infinitely close to zero.Annoyed, annoyed, seeing Orihara Rinya who was sitting across from him acting like a normal person talking to the waiter, he quickly calmed down.

"A cup of black coffee, no sugar... and a cup of milk."

Lin Ye placed the order naturally, and after watching the waitress leave, Shizuo leaned on the table and asked Lin Ye: "How do you know I want milk?"

Lin didn't answer either, but Shizuo swore he saw Lin's brow twitching twice.Immediately afterwards, Lin leaned himself against the back of the fabric sofa without making any movements, and closed his eyes as if resting his mind.

"I want to thank you this time." Lin Ye said such a sentence suddenly, the subject was not even obvious.

Shizuo tilted his head, not knowing how to respond.Lin didn't say anything else, but after feeling the atmosphere around the man across from him, he laughed even more wildly in his heart.

——I really want to thank you this time, Xiaojing

——bring me back into the battlefield of Ikebukuro

Although Shizuo was surprised by Rinya's nonsensical words, he knew that Orihara Rinya's words and actions had always been illogical, so he still ignored them after thinking for a few seconds.

The street outside the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window is directly opposite to an alley. Shizuo propped his head and looked out the window, waiting for the milk to arrive. However, the scene that came into his line of sight through the glass in the middle of boredom made him unable to calm down no matter what. up.

"...Ah." Jingxiong sat up straight suddenly, and sighed involuntarily.

He thought that if he was not mistaken, those strange figures in the alley across the street looked like—

"asshole……"

A group of punks who are bullying female high school students.

"what happened?"

Hearing the non-surprised question, Shizuo noticed that he had crushed a glass, and he glanced across the street again. The girl with a panic expression on her face was still wearing Lailiang's school uniform, which made him even more confused. Confirmed the fact.Shizuo almost jumped up against the table, and the moment he stepped forward, he suddenly remembered what Rinya had said, suppressed his emotions and turned around to look at Rinya who had no expression for some reason.

"I want to leave for a minute." He made the request as calmly as possible.

"Go."

"You don't need to explain to me." Orihara Lin also said the same, stretched out his hand and lightly knocked on the window with his index finger, but the direction happened to be the direction of the alley where the girl who was still panicking and begging for mercy was.

Shizuo Heiwajima frowned, but he didn't want to waste time and walked out of the cafe without saying a word. At the same time he heard the sound of hard steel cracking outside the window, Orihara Rin finally raised a sly smile.

"The monster is gone, so next..."

Somewhere in the café came the sound of small footsteps, and the sound became clearer as they got closer.

Orihara Lin also kept the smile on his face and leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed, listening to the approaching footsteps comfortably, as if he was enjoying a piece of beautiful music.He didn't open his eyes again until he felt a not-so-warm hand on his shoulder, and the metal blade hidden in the palm was cold against the skin of his neck.

"Long time no see, Orihara Linya."

It was a thin voice that couldn't be connected with the image of holding a knife no matter how you listened, it was clear and clean.But Orihara Lin also knew that hidden under that voice was a blade-like emotion.

"Ah, it's really been a long time."

——"Black Marsh-kun."

- the monster is gone

- next

——It’s a carnival for human beings
