Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"Run! What are you standing there for?!" Kamishiro Shiro was furious and quickly grabbed her, who was still in a daze, and ran.

Mizuno Maki reacted quickly, gritted her teeth slightly, and crawled under Kamishiro Shiro's umbrella, holding his hand as they ran up the stairs together.

The two police officers, a man and a woman, only realized what was happening at this point and hurriedly tried to give chase, but neither of them had brought an umbrella and they dared not run in the pouring rain. They could only shout from behind.

Woman: "Hey, don't run away! Come back right now! It's dangerous to be wandering around outside so late!"

Man: "This is such a headache. Another student couple. Don't let me go on a date this late! Seriously!"

Woman: "Hmph, I can't stand couples like this the most. I've been running into all sorts of them lately. Don't they know what nighttime dangers are? Damn it! I'll run up and catch them and give them a good talking to about safety!"

Man: "Fine, fine, go ahead and chase after it. I'm too lazy to chase it! It's raining so hard. If the equipment gets soaked, you'll have to explain to the director yourself. Anyway, I'm not the one who'll get scolded."

Woman: "Forget it then. I've already been scolded by the director a few times today. If I get scolded again, I'm afraid I'll have to work as a clerk in the station until I die."

Man: "It's good that you know."

Woman: "(#`O′) Hey, you two are running in this heavy rain, do you want to fall? Walk slowly, and go home right now, don't go to a hotel!"

Man: "-_-||"

It was raining too hard.

Shiro Kaede and Mizuno Maki couldn't hear what the two people behind them were saying at all.

After running for a while, they looked back.

The two officers breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the male and female police officers had not caught up with them.

But Mizuno Maki was thinking about how she had almost been questioned by the police.

She was still shaken, her heart pounding wildly.

And at this time.

Mizuno Maki was startled to realize that Shiro Shiro was holding her hand. Her ears turned slightly red, and her heart pounded even faster. She didn't know if it was because she was still shaken by what had just happened, or...

Just as she was hesitating whether she should immediately withdraw her hand.

next second.

Kamishiro Shirokaze released her hand, relieved.

"Thank goodness it's raining."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to escape."

Mizuno Maki kept her head down, making it difficult to see her expression; all that could be heard was her soft response.

"Um"

Shiro Shiro looked up at the sky and found that the rain was still pouring down, and he wondered when it would stop.

Now that Mizuno Maki is under his protection, it would be strange to drive her away.

Thinking back, it seems that the two of them took similar routes home.

Jindai Bai Feng suggested:

"Our way home is about the same."

"Let me walk you part of the way."

Mizuno Maki's delicate body trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head and softly responded.

"Um"

The two then began to stroll down the street.

Neither of them initiated a conversation.

They all walked on silently.

Shiro Kaede knew that her relationship with Mizuno Maki was a bit strange, so she didn't try to start a conversation.

It would be bad if Mizuno Maki misunderstood anything.

Tick ​​tick tick~

The torrential rain continued to fall.

The usually bustling streets of Shibuya are now eerily quiet.

Most people were caught off guard by the sudden downpour.

They could only run to the eaves or into shops to take shelter from the heavy rain.

Shiro Kaede and Mizuno Maki walked side by side quietly.

The two are very close now, practically only a step away, and could touch each other immediately if they reached out their hands.

Although the heavy rain outside the umbrella was a little chilly.

But there was an unusual feeling of damp heat inside the umbrella.

Maki Mizuno felt as if her little leather shoes and black tights were soaked.

She glanced at Bai Feng's feet and noticed that his trouser legs were also wet.

Then he looked up and peeked out.

They found that Shiro Kaede was still as calm and undisturbed as ever.

But when Mizuno Maki realized something, her pretty face showed some complicated emotions.

Because this folding umbrella is not large.

She noticed that Shiro Shiro's left shoulder was wet from the rain.

But she didn't look wet at all.

Upon seeing this, Mizuno Maki knew that Kamishiro Hakufeng was doing this out of consideration for her.

Mizuno Maki looked at Kamishiro Shirokaze's profile, her red lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't get them out.

After walking for a while...

soon.

The two arrived at the fork in the road where they had parted ways before.

Shiro Kaede knew that his home was just a few minutes away.

He looked up at the dark sky.

The torrential rain showed no signs of stopping.

He sighed and turned to ask:

Is your home far from here?

Mizuno Maki paused, her eyes flickering slightly.

She also knew that this was the intersection where Shiro Kaede usually parted ways with her.

If we just say it's very close to my home, then...

Kamishiro-kun might just send me back.

But if you say your home is far from here

Will Kamishiro-kun also send me back?

But once you tell him, won't Kamishiro-kun know where he lives?

What should we do?

But I did it out of necessity to avoid getting sick from the rain.

Besides, Kamishiro-kun doesn't seem like a bad person.

It should be fine.

After thinking for a while, Mizuno Maki's cool face was expressionless, except that her ears turned a little red.

She raised her small, fair hand, pointed to one of the alleyways, and stammered:

"It's just ahead."

"So close?" Shiro Shiro hadn't expected that Mizuno Maki's house was actually quite close to him. He nodded and said, "That's good. It's not far anyway. I'll take you there first."

"Hmm," Mizuno Maki said nervously as she walked into the alley with Bai Feng, her schoolbag tucked in her hand.

After walking to the front of the apartment...

Maki Mizuno stopped in her tracks.

Shiro Kaede knew that this was where she lived.

However, he was somewhat surprised that the streetlights in front of the apartment were broken.

"Then you can go back first, I'm leaving!" Shiro Kaede saw Mizuno Maki off to the roof of the apartment and then prepared to leave.

Mizuno Maki looked at his soaked left shoulder and felt a little guilty.

After all, this time it's troublesome for Kamishiro-kun.

If someone helps you and you let them go without giving anything in return, you'll feel really bad.

Maki Mizuno's eyes flickered. After taking a deep breath, she slowly reached out her hand to stop him, and stammered, looking somewhat nervous, she suggested:

"Um... your left shoulder is all wet from the rain."

"Would you like to come to my house?"

"Let me get you a clean towel to wipe yourself down."
