song of water and fire

He shook off Rin's grip on his wrist.

"Relax, I won't run away."

"As a policeman, no matter what, it's impossible to let someone who may cause harm to the people." Rin looked at the hand that was forcibly thrown away by Haruka, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, "You just need to be consciously obedient."

☆、Chapter 8

Rin opened the door, only to see a gray-haired boy standing at the door, probably because of walking for a long time, his face was covered with a lot of sweat.

"Are you Senior Rin? I'm Aiichiro Nitori who came here recently for an internship!" The boy bowed to Rin.

"How did you find this place?" Rin asked curiously.The person who knew he would be on Makoto's side...could it be that guy Sousuke?

"Senior Zongjie told me two addresses. I went to the other one before, but no one responded after knocking on the door, so I came here to have a look."

Knew it.

Rin looked at the sweaty Niao, but decided to let him go to Makoto's house to rest for a while.

"Take a rest and report to the police station with me later."

"Okay!" The bird-like eyes were shining brightly, making the already youthful-looking cheeks even more youthful.

The outstanding graduate of the police academy that Zongjie said this year is actually this guy who looks underage...

Rin looked at Nitori with scrutiny.And Haruka at the side ignored the two of them, and fell into his own world.

"Let's go after resting." Rin checked the time and stood up.

"Okay, Senior Rin." Niatori quickly stood up from the sofa.

After Rin opened the door, she suddenly looked back at Haruka who seemed to be in a trance on the sofa, and raised the corners of her mouth. "We'll talk about it later."

Then he patted the folds on his clothes chicly, and left with Si Niao.

"Tsk." Humans are really troublesome.She stood up and locked the door carefully.

"I'm so tired." Haruka spent too much energy last night from discovering Makoto to dragging him to the beach to rescue him.

Although Haruka hadn't eaten any food so far, the strong sense of exhaustion still defeated the sense of hunger.

When Makoto comes back, he must let him take me to eat mackerel.Thinking of this, Haruka looked at the clock on the wall.Then he relaxed his body, let himself slide down and slumped on the sofa, slowly closed his eyes and fell into sleep.

He even forgot the time limit of the transformation and fell into a deep sleep, and it is still unknown how long Makoto's emotional fetters on him can last.

Rin walked down the street with her head in her hands, trying to avoid letting her probing eyes fall back on Niatori.

Nitori followed Rin's right behind step by step, looking at Rin with a pair of shining eyes.

"Senior Rin is really amazing!" Niiao couldn't hold back his excitement and said. "When I was still in school, I heard about Senior Rin's deeds in Australia from my classmates."

"It's really lucky for me to be able to work with you during my internship."

Facing such a blunt compliment, Rin couldn't help but feel a little shy, and his face couldn't help turning slightly red.

"There are many more outstanding seniors here in the police station. Compared with them, I'm just a piece of cake." Rin stroked the unruly hair on his forehead with some embarrassment.

"But in my eyes, Senior Rin is the best!"

Niao Niao, who roared out this sentence excitedly, was also a little embarrassed, and added in a low voice, "You are my idol."

Rin's mood was a little complicated.Before, he was critically questioning Niao Niao's immature appearance with prejudiced eyes, but this child worshiped himself as an idol.

Is he as good as he thinks?Rin secretly made up his mind that he couldn't relax just because he came back from Australia.

After arriving at the police station, Rin took Niao to report.On the way, I met Zongsuke with a hurried expression.

"Hey, Zongsuke!" Rin looked at the stack of files in Zongsuke's hand and stopped him.

"Well, it's Rin and... Biri."

"Senior Zongsuke!" Niedori greeted excitedly.

"Well, did Makoto go back safely?"

"That guy went to work not long after he got home. It's not easy for them firefighters."

"I have to hurry up and sort out the files for the first half of this year, and I'm going to prepare for the mid-year report soon, so I'm leaving first."

"Okay, I'll take this kid on patrol later."

"Goodbye, then, Officer Shark."

"I said...let's leave that title alone." Rin helplessly looked at Zongsuke who was walking away quickly, and found that he only left a shadow of his back.

The author has something to say: The code name Shark is directly used in the official port settings. Zongsuke seems to have a code name too, but I can’t remember it clearly. I’ll check it out someday.

ps: The little bird-like angel is on the stage

In the original book, Okoshiba is also a policeman, and it seems like Rin and Sousuke’s chief officer. This article should change the setting.

Some characters haven’t decided whether to add them or not. If you want to see someone, you can comment. I’m trying to open my mind. _(:з」∠)_

☆、Chapter 9

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Rin turned to look at the snickering Niao, showing a mouthful of shark teeth.

"Ah, no!" Niiao sensed the danger and quickly controlled his expression.

"Heh." Rin smiled and grabbed Biri's cheek.

"Pain, pain, pain...Senior QAQ" Bi Niao pitifully rubbed her flushed cheeks.

"Go to eat, and then go to patrol." After finishing speaking, Rin strode forward.

"Senior, wait for me!" Niao Niao also hurriedly chased after him.

When the police station is flying around, the fire department is surprisingly harmonious.

"Senior Tachibana is here!" Because Makoto is always gentle, polite, and helpful, she is very popular in the branch.People who saw him greeted him one after another, and Makoto would also say hello with a smile.

"It's another sunny day."

Obviously just passed by the god of death, but Makoto seems to be ignorant, and quickly threw herself into the new job.

What do firefighters have to do when there is no fire?

In addition to the clerical work of some fixed positions, more often than not, besides fighting fires, firefighters also run around children who are stuck in cars or windows, donkey friends who are crushed by stones or get lost when they are adventurous in the mountains, and people waiting for rescue in landslides. People wait.Even a hornet's nest is their task to blame.

Although the job of a firefighter may seem less dangerous than that of a police officer, they should be respected just as much.

After all, each of their lives has shouldered many other lives.They get reported less and are only more at risk.

Although there are risks, Makoto likes this job very much.In addition to the reason he likes to give, there is another point, that is... away from the sea.

The sea... will swallow everything.

"Bell..." The fire department's bell rang frantically.

"Moses, Moses," Makoto answered the phone.

"A hornet's nest appeared on the west side of the town? Please tell me the exact address...Okay, I'll be there right away!"

As the team leader, Makoto and his other four team members rushed to the scene quickly.

"Everyone, please stay away from here!" Several people helped several local policemen evacuate the crowd, and immediately put on full-body protective measures.

"Captain Orange, why don't I go..." Another member of the team who had worked in the fire department for several years said hesitantly.The other three people are all newcomers who have been here for a few months.

"It's okay, I'll come." Makoto smiled and patted him on the shoulder.I have had a similar experience before, you just need to watch me below.

Makoto supported the tree trunk with both hands, found the right position and jumped up.

"Senior..." Several newcomers stood under the tree and looked at Zhenqin on the tree with admiration.

"This is it." He moved towards the branch with the hornet's nest hanging on it.

Before coming here, Makoto discovered that there was a large acacia tree near this town.

Honey is rarely produced in Japan, but it does not mean that there is no honey.Acacia honey is one of the few.

In Japan, acacia was originally a tree species introduced from the United States to strengthen dikes.Generally, in the flowering period between May and June, the flower color is mostly milky white and reddish purple, the smell is fragrant, and the flower body can be eaten raw.There is a beekeeper in this small town.

But wasps and bees are two different things.

Makoto got rid of distracting thoughts in her mind, and concentrated on approaching the hornet's nest.

It's close! Makoto put her feet in a relatively safe position as much as possible, then freed up a hand to take out a relatively large sack from her waist, opened it, and stabbed it to trap the hornet's nest.

Then Makoto fixed the bag with one hand, and with the other hand used a knife to cut the hornet's nest from the connection with the branch.

"Buzz..." The wasp in the bag sensed something and started to get restless.Makoto quickly tied a knot at the opening of the sack, and then threw the sack to the ground.

"Buzzing..." A few wasps that hadn't been caught spun around Zhenqin quickly.

"..." Makoto's cheeks under full armor were covered with sweat.

He climbed down the tree step by step carefully.

"Hoo..." It's safe.Makoto landed on the ground successfully.

"senior!"

"team leader!"

Several team members rushed up from the chrysalis.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhenqin looked at the sack containing the hornet's nest in the hands of the team members, "I will dispose of it later, be careful."

While talking, several people came to the fire truck and unloaded their equipment.

Just as they were about to return, several people from the town came over with a large bottle of honey.

The leader is the beekeeper.

The author has something to say: The content related to acacia honey comes from Baidu. In addition, Du Niang shows that □□[-]% of the honey in Japan is imported from other countries, so it should be relatively rare but exists in the local area.

In addition, the firefighters really do everything, give them a thumbs up qwq

Makoto is indeed a very gentle and understanding person. Although I don't know why he is not very cute, I still feel admiration. (ps I have a good impression of all free members who are fans of passers-by, and everyone is about the same. Maybe it is a fraternity party?)

☆、Chapter 10

"I'm very sorry!" He bowed to several people.

"I don't know if it's because of me that I'm bothering you. These are some fresh honeys that were just produced this year. Please accept them."

"Aha, no need." Makoto smiled and waved at the man, "This is what we should do."

"Please accept it." The man forced the honey into Makoto's hand and left.

"Hey, then...thank you!" Makoto stood there holding a jar of honey, a little at a loss.

By the way, if you grill fish, you can add honey, Haruka might be very happy.

Thinking of this, Makoto couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

After dealing with the hornet's nest, several people returned to the fire department.After Makoto distributed the honey to several people, he realized that it was time to get off work, so he walked home with the honey in his arms.

"I don't know if Haruka will like it..." A familiar small shop came into Makoto's eyes while thinking.

"Makoto is here." The owner of this store is Tian Fang Mei Ho, who seems to have worked as a white-collar worker in Tokyo, but no matter how much she asks her, she has never told anyone about her previous work experience.

"Ms. Tianfang!" Makoto greeted her.

"Confucius has a saying that friends come from afar, so it's not easy to say (joy)." Tianfang Meifan recited the famous quote slowly.

"So, Zhenqin," she looked at Zhenqin with a "kind" smile, "is it better to call me sister Tianfang?"

"Aha..." Makoto's cheeks were faintly sweating. "Okay, Tianfang...sister."

It always feels weird, Makoto thought in her heart.

"I'd like a salt-grilled mackerel set and a...hey, is the cat cake set new?"

"Yes, it's a normal meal plus a cat's claw biscuit."

"It's amazing," Makoto thought for a while. "Then take one mackerel set meal and one cat cake set meal, and take it away."

"I remember Makoto, you don't like to eat mackerel," Tianfang Meifan showed an inscrutable smile, "Did you bring it for others?"

"Ah, yes, for a friend."

"Did you bring it for your girlfriend?"

"Eh?" Makoto was taken aback. "It's not..."

"Okay." At this time, the chef in the shop had already packaged two dishes and handed them to Makoto.

"That day, Fang Nu...uh, sister, I'm leaving first."

"Okay, thank you for your patronage~" Tianfang Meifan, who found that Makoto called her the right name, smiled softly.

Well-behaved and obedient boys are the best.

Makoto, who walked home with two dishes and a jar of honey, didn't know what the owner of this small shop specializing in desserts and dishes thought.He took the key out of his pocket with difficulty and opened the door.

"Haru, I'm back."

Makoto put things aside.

"Haru? Hey, fell asleep!" Makoto helplessly looked at Haruka, who was lying on the sofa sleeping directly on his side, and shook his head gently.

He walked into the bedroom quietly, and came out with a quilt.Just as he was about to cover Haruka, Haruka suddenly opened his eyes.

"Haruka, I'm back, and the mackerel set meal is ready..."

Haruka just woke up and looked at Makoto in front of him blankly. "oh......"

"Hahaha, Haruka is so cute." Makoto couldn't help laughing at the dazed Haruka.

"Hey..." Haruka was about to refute Makoto's evaluation of him as "cute", when she found a familiar change in her body—the time limit for transformation seemed to have arrived.

"Eh?" Makoto, who witnessed the catastrophe, took a step back in shock.

"Come here." Haruka stretched out her hand towards Makoto.

"Ah, is the time limit up? I'm sorry I forgot." Makoto hurriedly walked over and grabbed Haruka's hand, and then his fish tail turned back into human legs.

"What time is it?" Yao asked, only to realize that the watch was on the wall, so he blushed and turned his head to one side.

"It's about seven o'clock in the evening, is Haruka sleeping all day?" Makoto looked at Haruka with a smile.

"Well, I'm so tired, I'm so hungry now."

"Ah, that's right." Makoto quickly put the packed food on the dining table.

"What's your share?"

"The owner said it was a cat cake cooking set, so I bought it and tried it. Haruka, would you like a piece?"

"Oh, good." Haruka took a cat's claw biscuit from Makoto and put it aside, and took a bite of mackerel first.

"good."

The author has something to say: The author's bad taste seems to have mixed in, please don't pay too much attention...

I always feel that Haruka has been set as a foodie by me【x】

☆、Chapter 11

"It's good that Yao thinks it's delicious." Makoto narrowed her eyes with a smile, then picked up a cat's claw biscuit and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's delicious, let Haruka try it too."

"Oh, good." Haruka picked up the biscuit and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's not bad."

"Let's have a few more from Haruka." Makoto put all the biscuits between herself and Haruka.

"Hmm... Then Makoto won't be full?"

"No, Haruka just enjoy it."

Then the two enjoyed a delicious dinner quietly.

"Ah, yes, Haruka." Makoto suddenly remembered the jar of honey.

"I went to solve a hornet's nest today, and the people there kindly gave me some honey." Makoto opened the lid of the honey jar.

"It's acacia honey, do you want to eat grilled fish with honey?"

"Acacia honey, what is that?" Haruka, who had lived in the sea since she was a child, didn't know this kind of food. "Also, to solve the hornet's nest...Aren't you a firefighter?"

"Ah, this is also one of the duties of firefighters. By the way, just wait a moment!" Makoto went to the kitchen to get a clean spoon, dug a spoonful of honey from the jar, and handed it to Haruka.

"Try it? It's very sweet."

"Oh, good." Haruka poured honey into his mouth.

"Ah, it's so sweet..." It's a taste I never had when I was in the sea.

It is also a joy that has never been experienced in the sea.Eating food such as mackerel and biscuits and honey made with human-specific cooking tools, Haruka felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"Can honey and grilled fish still be combined?"

"Yes." Makoto replied with a smile. "But I don't know how to cook very much. Someday I can let Rin cook for you. Rin's cooking skills are not bad."

"Rin? That policeman..."

"Rin...... there shouldn't be any trouble for you, right?"

"......"

"Eh? I asked you a very strange question?"

"Yeah, wait, how do you know that?"

"I don't know why, but I always feel that if I look at Haruka seriously, I can vaguely feel what Haruka is thinking."

"Is that so..." Haruka remembered the time limit. "By the way, I remember, when I came to Makoto's house in the morning, it should be around [-]:[-], right?"

"Ah, it seems so. What's the matter, Haruka?"

"Is it close to twelve hours..."

"Hey! Can my bond with Haruka only last for such a short time?" Makoto asked in surprise.

After all, at this moment, Zhenqin's heart is filled with gratitude to Yao.

They had no relatives and no reason, and met by chance.But Haruka chose to save him even if he would reveal his non-human identity.

I still remember that the owner of the small shop that specializes in cooking and desserts once said a famous saying that I don’t know which celebrity – the kindness of a drop of water, should be repaid by a spring.

So how do you repay the grace of saving your life?

"It's not short. I didn't expect it to be so long..." Yao retorted softly.

"Anyway, Haruka, thank you for saving me." Knowing that there might be danger, he still didn't choose to stand by.Makoto didn't say some words, but Haruka read everything from his eyes.

"You don't need to thank me, you saved yourself." Haruka turned her head, unwilling to look directly at Makoto's shining eyes at the moment.

"When you rescued that child, didn't you know that your swimming skills were so poor? Those people standing on the shore, no matter how anxiously they shouted, none of them jumped into the sea."

"You have the courage to die in the waves of the storm, why can't I have the right to save you?"

The author has something to say: In the anime, if Makoto is a warm little sun, then Haruka should be his power supply battery.

No matter from the perspective of friendship or corruption.

The helping hand when she was young gave Makoto the strength to learn gentleness.If there is no Haruka, maybe Makoto will still have the courage to redeem others, but he may lose the ability to redeem himself (Chapter 1 chooses to face death calmly.)

Because he has only learned to be gentle to people through the tempering of time, but he has never experienced being given tenderness.This is different from Hiyori.Because he was also a child who had suffered from alienation (maybe Rihe was a little more serious), after accepting the tenderness of corn, Rihe was only gentle with corn.And Makoto has become the sun for everyone.

The above are just personal opinions, don't spray if you don't like it.Later, I will also analyze the bond between Rin and Haruka and Rin and Makoto.

In addition, I really insist on friendship and will not waver.

I am very fortunate to have come into contact with free during the winter vacation of 19.

☆、Chapter 12

"remote......"

"I'm not questioning your decision to save me." Makoto's voice was soft, but extremely firm.

"I'm just, touched."

"Indeed, because of some reasons in the past, I had a psychological shadow on the sea and the water. But the moment I saw the child struggling in the water, I seemed to have forgotten the fear I had, and only wanted to put him Rescue it—since I have lost someone who is very important to me in the sea, then I must not let it in front of me, and then take away the most important relative to others.”

"At that moment, I seemed to have regained the courage and boldness I had lost, as well as some other precious things."

"That's something I can't throw away even if I die."

Makoto paused, then continued, "But it's only for me. But for Haruka, the sea should be a warm thing like home, but you may have to take the risk of being deprived of it in order to save me .Besides, if I were a villain..."

"Makoto won't be. It can't be. I have never regretted saving you," Haruka suddenly stretched out both hands to hold Makoto's hand. "I'm glad I saved you."

"Hey..." Makoto was shocked for a moment.Then the shock quickly turned into a warm smile.

"I'm also very happy to know Haruka."

"Bang bang bang!" The door rang again untimely, interrupting their eye contact.

"Senior Makoto!"

When Zhenqin opened the door, she saw Lian standing at the door with a miserable face.

"Sorry to interrupt! I was doing an experiment at home just now and there was an explosion. Although the damage was not very serious, I couldn't rest normally, so I took the liberty to come here to disturb..."

"Let's talk first." Makoto raised her forehead.

"Hey, does Makoto-senpai have any guests?" Rei Ryuzaki, who was invited into the room, saw Haruka's presence.

"Are you... Senior Makoto's clothes?" Lian looked at Haruka and covered her mouth in surprise. "you......"

"No, you're thinking too much." Makoto smiled suddenly, which made Lian feel a chill, and couldn't help shivering.

"It's a pity that I only have two sets of mattresses at home, so..."

"Ah, Makoto-san, I can sleep on the sofa!" Lian is a junior in the chemistry department that Makoto met in college. She once helped the fire department research the source of the fire as an assistant with the teacher.The two met during Makoto's internship at the fire department.

"But Haru..."

"I could sleep in the bathtub."

"Huh? Then how can..."

"As a murloc, I always sleep in the water."

"Wow, Haruka is amazing. Wait..." Makoto realized something was wrong.

"What, half murloc?" Lian on the side jumped up in shock.

"Just say it like this... okay?" Makoto smiled wryly, looking at Rei's surprised expression and Haruka's calmness as always.

"Anyway, I will stay for a while, and I will be discovered sooner or later. It's better to say it myself at the beginning."

"That's right." So after some explanations and panic, Lian successfully restored himself to a non-burned state and learned about Haruka's situation.

"It's getting late," Makoto spread two sets of quilts on the floor of the bedroom, and went to the bathroom to check Haruka who had turned into a mermaid and lay in the water.

"Is it really okay for Haruka to sleep like this?"

"Ah."

"Is it okay if the water is cold?"

"Ah."

"Then... good night."

"It's really long-winded..." Yao complained inappropriately, but still blushed and said "good night" to Makoto.

The author has something to say: I suddenly want to change the relaxed setting back to the real drama QAQ

I didn't expect it to be so serious, because the outline of the story is really fun.....

Continue to write and see, maybe I am not suitable for the joyful style of writing...

☆、Chapter 13

Now let's switch the timeline back to 18:30 on this Monday evening, the off-duty time of the police station's day shift staff.

"Hey, Zongsuke!" Rin called to Zongsuke who had finished punching out his card. "Go to have a meal together?"

"Okay." Zongsuke put a thin coat on his body. "That child like the bird has gone back?"

"Well, after I took him on patrol for an afternoon and taught him how to deal with emergencies, I let him go home first. After all, he is an intern."

After punching out the card, Rin stretched and tied the coat around her waist.

"worn out......."

On the other hand, Zongsuke looked at Rin and smiled. "Do you want a drink or not?"

"Okay, let's have a Coke." Rin watched Zongsuke go to the drink vending machine, put in coins and took out a can of Coke.

"Unfortunately, there's only one can left."

"So, the old rules?"

"Okay."

"Rock scissors...paper!"

"Hahaha Sousuke, are you okay? I win every time." Rin proudly opened the can of Coke and poured a sip into his mouth.

"Hey, save some for me." Zongsuke looked at Rin who was enjoying the drink with a dark face.

"Are you sure?" Before Zongsuke could respond, Rin threw the empty can to him.

"Hahahahahaha...the jar is for you."

Zong Jie's face seemed to be darker, but his eyes were still full of helplessness and connivance.

"You bastard." He muttered and strode forward.

"Aren't you hungry? Go to the store recommended by Makoto."

"Hey, Sousuke, wait for me!"

The figures of the two gradually drifted away in the twilight of the slightly drunken evening in early summer.

"By the way, what's wrong with Makoto today?" Zongsuke, who was eating, looked at Rin who was sitting opposite, and said suddenly.

"Why do you ask that?"

"So there really is something wrong." Zongsuke caught the panic and anxiety that flashed in Rin's eyes in time.

"According to the statement of the eyewitness, this morning, Makoto and another man with black hair and blue eyes, about 20-30 years old, were wearing swimming trunks and passed the street about two kilometers away from Makoto's house."

"Witnesses said that the two were talking and laughing at the time, and their mental state was not abnormal."

"So, since nothing happened to Zhenqin, did your panic and hesitation come from that strange person who appeared suddenly and probably saved Zhenqin?"

Zongsuke quickly reasoned out the problem.

"Is there something wrong with that person?"

Rin was a little nervous.

He believed in Makoto, and the unfinished interrogation of that guy showed that he was basically harmless.In this case, he didn't want to cause them too much trouble, but he also didn't want to deceive Zongsuke.

In other words, it is actually difficult to even conceal it.Sousuke...too perceptive.

"Zongsuke, do you trust me?" Rin didn't answer Zongsuke's question, but threw out a new question to Zongsuke.

"Believe it, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Then don't ask."

"Is that so..." Zongsuke looked at Rin's expression.After a long time, he finally gave in. "Okay, I'll wait for your answer and... explanation."

"Okay, thank you."

Seeing Rin's relieved look, Zongsuke decisively took a cat-shaped biscuit from his dinner plate.

"Well, it tastes good."

"Hey, why are you eating my biscuits! Don't you have them too."

"Maybe yours tastes better?"

"What?" Rin, with a disdainful mouth, also decisively reached out and took a biscuit from Zongsuke's lunch box.

"Anyway, protect yourself."

"Why are you so serious all of a sudden... Well, I will." Looking at Zongjie's piercing eyes, Rin also became serious.

"Recently, it's been very peaceful here. It's an unusual... peacefulness."

"Oh? This guest, do you want to say 'the rain is about to come and the house is full of wind'?"

As it was getting late, the number of guests gradually decreased.The small shop, which was full of seats, gradually disappeared, and the proprietress seemed to finally be able to take a nap and chat with the guests.

Zongsuke cast his eyes on the shopkeeper for a second, then turned his head to look at Rin again.

"That's pretty much what it means. So, be careful."

"I see." Rin nodded, and Sousuke went to pay the bill.Then the two walked out of the small shop together, and then parted ways towards home.

"I have a chance to treat you to dinner tomorrow!" In the twilight, Rin took off the coat tied around his waist and draped it over his shoulders, waving at Zongsuke.

Zongsuke looked in Rin's direction and smiled, then turned and left without saying anything.

☆、Chapter 14

"Senior Makoto, am I bothering you...?" Lian's words swirled a few times in his mouth, and finally swallowed the word "we".

"No, pity. Why do you think so?"

"Ah, I just..."

"Well, you also saw that Haruka is a murloc." Makoto took out the extra quilt from the closet. "Yesterday I accidentally lost consciousness in the sea, and he saved me."

"Eh?" Lian was very shocked, "How could senior Makoto lose consciousness in the sea! I remember you never go into the water...it's so dangerous."

"Well, it was an accident." Makoto smiled at Lian, "but I'm fine now."

"It's really great. It turns out that... uh, Haruka..."

"His name is Nanase Haruka, and he doesn't seem to be very used to addressing him affectionately."

"Since he is the savior of Senior Makoto, then I'll call him Senior Haruka."

"Okay, but it's getting late. I remember Lian has an experiment to do tomorrow? I have to be on duty tomorrow, so let's sleep too."

"Oh yes, Makoto-senpai. Good night."

"Good night."

After returning home, Zongsuke remembered the few unsolved cases that he saw today when he was sorting out the files.Several of them were rooms that suddenly burst into flames inexplicably, but there were no casualties.

The police at that time investigated for a long time, but found nothing.The source of the fire was never found.

The interval between those fires was not long, and they all happened about ten years ago.But nothing like it has happened since then.

Zongsuke shook his head and pushed the thought out of his mind.

It should be just my conjecture.Thinking of this, his body involuntarily walked to the window.

Half of the sky is occupied by gorgeous clouds, while the other half is already dark blue and black.

It's beautiful, but it's also a bit of an unexpected...coincidence.

————————————————————————————————————————

The night will eventually pass, and the faint morning light falls on everyone fairly through the window.However, the sudden sound of the alarm broke the peaceful morning.

"Beep ring..."

Makoto got up from the bed quickly when she heard the bell.The pity on the side has disappeared—judging from the sound of washing from the bathroom, the schoolmaster with his own biological clock has already woken up.

"Ah, I forgot to buy breakfast yesterday..."

Makoto hurried into the kitchen to see what was left for breakfast, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Haruka in an ill-fitting apron standing by the gas stove... fried bread and poached eggs ?

"Haruka can cook?!"

"Ah, after a while, it will probably work."

"Huh?" Makoto looked at Haruka's hand skillfully turning the poached egg with envious eyes.

"That's great, why can't I cook..."

"Ah, that's right." Haruka suddenly remembered the problem of the transformation time, but at this time the poached egg just needs to be flipped quickly so that both sides are cooked just right.

However, it still feels a bit strange to say something like letting the other party touch him directly... Haruka is a little distressed.

"If you don't mind," Makoto stretched out a hand and gently squeezed Haruka's wrist. "I remember that the time limit for Haruka's transformation seems to be coming, is this okay?"

"Ah."

Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the poached eggs just happened to be the most delicious at this time.So the fire was turned off and the golden-yellow poached eggs and slightly light brown bread were served.

"Go wash up." Yao looked eagerly
