【Respect】The Beautiful Future

When the barbarians returned to the bar, Anna Kushina was curled up on the sofa and was about to fall asleep. She heard the wind chime ringing when the door opened, and opened her eyes slightly to look over.Zhou Fangzun, who was the first to push the door in with a cigarette in his mouth, burned into the color of flames in his vision. Anna's sleepiness faded instantly, and she hurriedly jumped off the sofa and ran to him to hold his hand.

Zhou Fang greeted Kusanagi Izumo behind the bar, and then looked down at the little girl in front of him.Anna looked at the other people who came in with Zhou Fang, her eyes turned as if she was looking for something.

"Munakata didn't come." Zhou Fang said.

Kushina Anna still tiptoed to look around, and finally turned her gaze away after confirming that it was fruitless.There seemed to be some disappointment on his usually expressionless face.

"He's fine." Zhou Fang added, holding Anna's hand and leading her to the sofa.The little girl nodded, and sat down obediently next to Zhou Fang.

"Little Anna~" Ten-beam Tatara also came over, bent down and pretended to be wronged and said, "I'm not even welcome!"

Anna looked up at Ten Beams, and said seriously, "Tatara, welcome back."

Shi Shu's pitiful expression turned into a smile in an instant, and he took out a few red candies from his pocket, "This is a reward for the little princess~!"

Anna took the candy and looked at it, it tasted like strawberry, then she took Zhou Fang's hand hanging by her side and gave him half, and then began to tear the candy wrapper in her hand.Zhou Fang lowered his head and stared at the strawberry candy in his hand for a while, and finally put out the cigarette silently, tore open the package and ate it with Anna.

Kusanagi Izumo glanced over the boys who greeted him and went about their own business, put their elbows on the bar and looked at the door where there was no one there, and asked, "Hatachi and Fushimi?" return?"

"Uh-huh!" Ten Beasts bit the candy that Anna fed, straightened up and turned to look at Yun, and replied inarticulately: "The two of them left us halfway," he blinked. Laughed, "Whispering between children."

Izumo nodded, looked at Toku with the usual smile on his face, and asked, "How is the situation?"

Hearing this, Shishu's smile faded slightly, his brows were slightly frowned, and he pondered for a rare moment seriously, as if he was thinking about words, but the sound of crushing hard candies kept coming out of his mouth.

"It's quite troublesome." He swallowed the candy and replied, the voice clearly hit the eardrums, making the hearts of everyone present sink a little.Immediately without waiting for others to speak, he took two steps and sat on the opposite sofa, bent his eyes and said with a smile: "But it won't make me unable to do anything. I'll go back to my home tomorrow to get some things. Besides," he raised his hand to the ground Pointing, and smiled slyly: "All the laboratories on the third floor of the underground base belong to me. Oh, of course~ All expenses of the laboratory belong to brother Kusanagi! I will never take such great credit!"

Izumo couldn't help laughing and cursing when he heard the latter words, he shook his head helplessly, and put the goblet that had been wiped clean as new in his hand back to its original position, he had to admit that he was somewhat relieved.

Ten bunches of Duo Duo Liang folded his hands behind his head, leaning on the sofa and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay, there will always be a way."

It was dusk when Hatta Misaki rushed into Barbara.The sun, which hadn't shown much for a day, still hid behind the clouds and slid down silently towards the horizon, only a little pale golden light dyed the clouds.

"Ah little Hatta—" Kusanagi Izumo was interrupted hastily by Hatta before he finished speaking.

"Have monkeys been here before!?" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked pantingly.

"No." Izumo said.

Hatta was instantly discouraged and scratched his hair in distress.

"What happened?" Shi Shu pulled him who was standing at the door to sit on the sofa, and handed him a glass of water.

"Brother Shishu..." Hatta glanced at him, took the cup but didn't intend to drink it, "The monkey is gone."

"We stopped in an alley to talk...and then we started arguing," Hatta's expression became anxious and annoyed as he recalled, he was eager to make it clear, but couldn't figure it out, "Anyway, in the end he I turned around and left straight away! I was also angry, so I walked in the opposite direction. But... After a long time, he still hasn't come back, and no one answered the phone. I can't find him until now!"

Hatta lowered his head, "That bastard said a bunch of inexplicable and excessive words, and he dared to make a disappearance! When I find him, I will--" He suddenly fell silent, raised his head and stared at Shishu in a panic as if thinking of something. Asked: "It's so dangerous outside now, will something happen to the monkey?"

"No." Zhou Fangzun who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

Hearing this, Hatta turned his head to look at Zhou Fangzun. He took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, nodded vigorously, then suddenly put down the cup in his hand, stood up and said, "I'll look for it again!" The skateboard that was thrown at the door when he picked it up rushed out of the door again.

Kusanagi Izumo hurriedly told Kamamoto and the others to keep up with that impulsive guy, supported his forehead with a headache, and then shifted his gaze to Zhou Fang, "Master, do you know where Fushimi has gone?"

"Probably." Zhou Fangyi said briefly, and lit a cigarette.

"... Where is that lord?" Ever since Kusanagi Izumo knew about their relationship, he could deduce a lot from Zhou Fang's undisguised eyes.

Zhou Fang didn't speak, took a deep breath of the cigarette and let it out slowly.

Izumo turned to look at the darkening sky, frowned slightly and sighed.Ten beams took the water glass that Hatta put down, and after taking a sip, he found that it was cold. He unconsciously tapped the wall of the cup with his index finger, and said softly, "If that's the case... I don't know how sad little Hatta will be. .”

When Reiji Munakata heard the report, he didn't even pause in the action of dropping the puzzle, but just nodded slightly.

Not long after, the deputy led someone in after getting his permission, briefly asked for instructions, then closed the door respectfully and left.

There was a brief silence in the office, until Munakata, who propped his chin and focused on the puzzle in front of him, raised his eyes, smiled and said to break the atmosphere, "Aren't you going to sit down?" He gestured to the chair across the table.

There was a light rain last night, and the gloomy young man standing in front of him still had a damp breath, which suddenly added a bit of coolness to the room.Fushimi Saruhiko looked at the jigsaw puzzles that occupied the entire table, and said, "I'll just stand here."

Munakata didn't mind any more, and continued with a smile: "Then let me guess, the purpose of your visit is not to be a peace ambassador for both sides, right?"

This oblique way of speaking made Fushimi frown displeased, and asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to poach me here?"

"Oh, did you actually run to the enemy's base just because of a word of mine? That's so innocent and cute." Munakata said.

Fushimi stared at the man who was smiling inexplicably, and frowned, "Tsk, did you just say it casually?" Although what he said was very confident, at this moment, it was like pouring a basin of ice water on his head, and he finally got rid of it. Feeling the urge of blood, I calmed down, and felt a little scared standing in this strange and cold building.Just like the hidden meaning in Munakata's words, it's really stupid for me to act rashly.

There wasn't much fluctuation in Fu's meeting, but Munakata could see clearly, he shrugged and said, "Of course not."

Fushimi felt a little impatient, but he seemed to understand what Munakata wanted to ask, so he hesitated and said, "...In short, it's not because of the reason you expected."

"I don't expect any answer from you, Fushimi-kun, just asking casually." Munakata said, there was a hint of nostalgia in his wicked smile, which was fleeting.He stood up, "It's enough for me to get the result I want, and you will definitely be more suitable for me." He walked over and opened the door, looked sideways at Fushimi, "Say straight to the point, I will solve it when you come It’s a lot of trouble. Now, come with me to the place where you will work long hours. From now on, you will be in charge of the intelligence team. If you have any applications or questions, go to Awashima-kun who brought you in. Excuse me, are you satisfied? "

The light leaking in from the half-open door made Munakata's face half-bright and half-dark, and he couldn't see clearly.In fact, even standing in a bright place, Fushimi, who thinks he can see people in detail, can't understand Munakata Reishi. This person is really unfathomable.However, there is nothing wrong with the words just now, and they are actually entrusted with a heavy responsibility.Fushimi was stunned for a moment, then responded and regained his composure.Forget it, Fushimi thought desperately, let Zhou Fangzun do the job of guessing this guy's mind.

However, he is a confident and arrogant man.

Fushimi Saru Hiko followed behind him, silently looking at the layout around him.Munakata Reiji seemed to take him directly to the intelligence team, and he didn't intend to introduce Fushimi here at all.Of course, even if he did this, whether Fushimi would listen is still a question.

They walked across the playground to the opposite side.Although there is still a lot of rain on the ground, the playground is full of soldiers in an orderly arrangement, doing the most basic physical training amidst the sound of orders.These people are recruits recruited into the army quickly after the outbreak of the virus. Many of them are even underage and lack experience and foundation. They must not relax for a moment.

Fushimi glanced around casually, and Munakata's footsteps in front of him suddenly stopped. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped before he was about to hit him.Fushimi looked over with Munakata's gaze, and there was some commotion in a phalanx not far away. The major who was the instructor and several other non-commissioned officers who assisted in the training seemed to have some disputes around one person.

Fushimi didn't know why and followed Munakata, thinking that such a small problem was not worth alarming him.

The major heard the footsteps and looked sideways. The moment he recognized the person coming, he let go of the hand on the person's shoulder and stood at attention to salute. The others also stopped and followed him to salute.

Zongxiang nodded, staring at the man who barely stood up, and asked slowly: "What's wrong?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, this recruit was caught trying to escape last night, and he made rude remarks during the training just now and disobeyed orders." The major replied.

Even the copper and iron walls of the military base can't stop the virus from invading, and maybe they haven't been honed enough, once the alliance army launches an attack, they will be forcibly sent to the battlefield.In this situation, the difference between joining the army and dying is not much different, and Munakata knows how compulsory the conscription is.

Zongxiang didn't answer, but said to the man, "What's your name?"

The thin young man raised his head slowly upon hearing the words, with a stubborn and unwilling look on his delicate face, his eyes trembled slightly when he touched Munakata's epaulets, he bit his lower lip and answered in a low voice, "Kusuhara Go."

Munakata lowered his eyes, and after a while, he turned to the major and ordered, "Find someone to take him to my office and wait for you to continue training." After saying that, he didn't even look at that person again, and continued walking with Fushimi. Go to the building where the intelligence team is located.
