I'm surrounded by three day boyfriends

It's too soon, have you said goodbye to others?

Hoshino was stunned for a second, then immediately came back to his senses and explained: "Brother, I'm fine, it's just a scratch, it's not serious."

"I know, Xiao Shun will be fine, for sure." Komaeda showed a relaxed smile in a tone more determined than the injured himself.

"Since it's Xiao Shun, it must be fine."

But trust still coexists with worry, my hair is all messed up, idiot.

Hoshino shook his head helplessly.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Lan." Komaeda walked into the room, "You helped bring Xiao Shun in."

"Well~ it's just a trivial matter, so don't worry about it." Bai Lan waved her hand amiably, "You don't need to use honorifics for me, I like to be casual, just call me Bai Lan, just like a friend."

"but……"

The hem of the clothes was ripped off by Hoshino as a reminder, Komaeda retracted the long compliment he was going to say, and changed it into a gentle smile: "Then, Bai Lan-kun."

The nurse quickly helped to prescribe the medicine and told some precautions not to get wet.

When they were going back, Komaeda politely asked if they wanted to come together, and Bai Lan unceremoniously followed them into the car, and after the car stopped outside the small villa, Bai Lan also got out of the car together.

Hoshino's feet are inconvenient to walk around, so the plan to play is naturally cancelled.Komaeda carried Hoshino into the living room, put him on the sofa, turned around and went to make tea.

The injury on the knee is serious if it is serious, and it is not serious if it is not serious.Stretching it flat on the coffee table feels nothing, but when you move it, the feeling of soreness and pain that drains your strength for a moment can quickly make your whole body want to scold【Your fucking Reissa Munakata】

Bai Lan said that he felt bored after playing alone for a few days, and asked Hoshino if he could join him when he went somewhere to play next time.

Hoshino said: "It's impossible to go out to play recently."

He pointed to his knees.

Bai Lan smiled indifferently: "Then go out to play after Xiao Shun's foot is healed. I can also come and chat with Xiao Shun these few days. Anyway, I don't know where to go to play."

Allow me to say no!

Hoshino didn't want to agree.

"I'll also ask for a few days off. In this case, it's inconvenient for Xiao Shun to be at home alone." Komaeda said.

"Hey, why do you feel like you're being treated as a useless person without authorization? You work as you should, and I'm not a seriously ill patient." Hoshino complained.

"But what if Xiao Shun wants to go to the bathroom?"

"So it's not like I can't move!"

"Hahahaha, I'm sorry, I'm going to work seriously." Komaeda smiled submissively.

"You two have such a good relationship." Bai Lan said enviously, and then regretted: "It would be great if Xiaozheng came with me."

Haven't you forgotten the idea of ​​pulling a friend along?

Instead of thinking about these things, why not think about whether the other party is looking for you now because of your sudden disappearance!

But it's useless to think about it.After all, there is no way to convey a safe signal to the other party.

Sighing, Hoshino: "Like I said, I suggest you make some friends here for the time being. You don't want to be alone all the time, do you?"

"What's the matter? Is Mr. Bai Lan from out of town?" Komaeda asked.

"Yeah." Bai Lan nodded nonchalantly, "It's far away from a foreign place, but suddenly coming here, everything feels strange."

"Where was it before?"

"Italy."

"It's true that Mr. Bai Lan looks a bit like a foreigner."

"Haha, is that right? I thought I was very similar to an oriental person."

"But Bai Lanjun still has Western characteristics."

The two seemed to be chatting happily, and Hoshino felt a little redundant holding the water glass.

Forget it, anyway, as long as his brother doesn't suddenly start a long speech and start his very characteristic compliment skills.

Now let him continue to reject Bai Lan and refuse to contact him indifferently, there is no way to do it.Because I feel sorry for myself, I have been helped more than once.

Holding the mobile phone to continue the previous escape room, after clearing all the levels, Hoshino came back to his senses, and was shocked to find that his brother really looked like friends with Bai Lan, and he also agreed that Bai Lan would come to accompany him in the next few days.

Accompany him!

Let him, the party concerned, express his opinion!

At night, lying on the bed, Hoshino couldn't help thinking about the questions Munakata asked.

After three days of not seeing each other... Will there be any other effects besides removing the effect of eye contact?

He had ignored the question so far, and there was no precedent for him to know the answer.

Maybe... yes?

For example, Mr. Kunikida.

However, he is not sure if Mr. Kunikida has been tricked, and it would seem very inexplicable to contact him suddenly and ask "Have you ever liked me?", so he doesn't know how to confirm it.

Osamu Dazai, as Mr. Kunikida's work partner, should know something about it.

But I don't want to ask that guy, and even if I ask, I can't believe that he is telling the truth.

With an irritable hoarse voice, "Ah—"Hoshino lifted the quilt to cover his head.

It doesn't matter, after a few days his feet are almost healed, and he will go to the Armed Detective Agency to have a face-to-face interview with Mr. Kunikida.Then, until the result is determined, do not avoid other people for the time being.

The same goes for Mr. Long and Yinci. Tomorrow will be the third day...

The next day, Hoshino woke up with a burst of itching. Someone was carefully touching his knee, which caused a little soreness, but it wasn't painful.

Hoshino opened his eyes and saw that Komaeda was changing his dressing.

"Is Xiao Shun awake?" Komaeda looked up, with a soft and apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, next time I will be more careful not to wake Xiao Shun up."

He lowered his head and continued to apply the medicine, with a lost and frustrated tone, "Sure enough, a person like me is useless, and I can't even do things like changing the medicine. I don't even know why Xiao Shun fell..."

It's very early today.

Hoshino sat up, "I was really careless. If I pay attention, I won't fall. There's no point in blaming others."

"Thank you, brother." He opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a candy. Hoshino peeled off the wrapper and fed it.

"Without you, it would be painful and troublesome for me to change the medicine myself... This is a thank you gift."

Komaeda happily ate the hard candy, and after preparing everything he could help with, he reconfirmed that Hoshino was fine at home alone, and then went out.

After sending Komaeda away, Hoshino saw an unread message from Mr. Long on his phone.

The main meaning is to let him send a photo in the past.

Indeed, almost forgot about it.It was agreed before that until a real solution is found, the state of being recruited will be maintained.

Of course, the maintenance method also needs to confirm whether it is necessary to see the person.Try to confirm all aspects of the doubts.

He raised his phone and took a new photo of himself, and recorded a 5-second video.Hoshino sent both of them over.

Not long after, the phone vibrated, and it was Mr. Long who sent a video chat.

Hoshino clicked on the connection, "Mr. Long?"

"The photos and recorded videos are useless." In the camera, Mr. Long was obviously sitting and resting on the porch on the first floor of the apartment. The light was bright but not glaring.

"But it seems that this kind of video chat is possible."

Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, when the other party is working, there is no need to meet up to disturb his work, as long as he can contact through the mobile phone.

"By the way, where's Ginji?" He asked concerned.

"In terms of Yinci, I left the apartment last night." Mr. Long replied.

Could it be... come to him.

Hoshino thought uncertainly.

But if he came to look for him, he should have arrived long ago, or maybe he had returned to the so-called hidden world?

While guessing, he turned his head and scanned the room as if confirming. Finally, when he scanned the French windows and doors of the living room, he seemed to see a white tail with a sharp tip.

Hoshino: ...

Sure enough, they came to find him.

"Hoshino-kun?" Mr. Long's questioning voice came from the phone.

"Ah, it's okay." Hoshino replied, and then asked: "Mr. Long, if the effect of eye contact is relieved by isolation for three days, do you think there will be other sequelae?"

"..." There was no answer immediately, and after a pause, Mr. Long replied: "I'm not sure about this at the moment, but I don't recommend you to do so."

"……why?"

"Hoshino-kun, regarding the matter of 'looking at each other', your thinking is that you feel that you have been killed inexplicably, and it is very unlucky, right?"

Hmm... Indeed, I feel very unlucky, and if someone deliberately harmed him, he must take revenge once he finds the culprit.

"Because of these thoughts, the most you want to do is to dispel this spell. The next best thing is to avoid people who have already been recruited, and let this effect automatically disappear after three days."

Hoshino nodded.

"But if you think about it carefully, are you really the only victim?" When asked directly to the soul, Mr. Long's attitude was obviously much gentler than Zongxiang's, rather than a forceful attitude, he said as if explaining the facts: "You are aware of this problem , that’s why you asked me if there would be sequelae, right?”

Hoshino didn't know how to answer, but his silent attitude had already expressed his thoughts.

"You are innocent, but so are other affected people. Hoshino-kun, how about facing the problem head-on before finding a complete solution?" Mr. Long suggested.

"Facing...face to face?" Hoshino didn't quite understand.

Mr. Long guided me gently and patiently like an elder.

"Through these three days, I can roughly confirm one thing, that is, the impact of 'cross-eyed' is not love at first sight that makes people lose themselves."

"The influence of this power is only to create an opportunity for other people, an opportunity to have a good impression of you. There are descriptions of such scenes in TV, comics, and novels, such as a profile, a turn, and a look, because of these. A sudden heart-pounding scene."

Mr. Long said: "I think it's the same, except that this power increases the charm of your eyes, so you need to look at each other for three seconds to have that effect. But there is not much difference in essence. That is Saying—favorability is not entirely fake.”

Hoshino hadn't thought about this kind of statement before, but after it was brought up... there was no way to refute it.

But, isn't that even weirder?Feeling good or something...

It's not like he can't understand the scene in comics where one's heart skips a beat when one accidentally sees a side face.

But... the good feeling is true, which means...

Mr. Long explained in a warm voice: "That is to say, if there is a person who likes it very much, then at least one-third of it is a true favor, and the rest is the increase of this power. But this is only the initial value."

initial value?

Of course he understands this kind of noun that often appears in games, but in this case...

"It will improve." The elegant voice expressed Hoshino's inner guess.

"Just like liking a person in general, the initial goodwill will be improved through various situations, and finally there may be a situation where the liking generated by this power completely becomes a real goodwill."

"So, how about facing it head-on?" Mr. Long suggested, "Don't just try to avoid it, face it as the most common emotional problem, and then give the most correct response you think."
