Western Laundry.

Keitaro Kikuchi looked at Masato Kusaga who came with Mari Sonoda and was a little dissatisfied. Although he was very happy about the addition of one more person and Orphino, he was very puzzled by Masato Kusaga's joining and Qian Qiao's departure, especially Qian Qiao's departure.

"Zhen Li, Aqiao, what happened to you two? Why did Aqiao leave here? It's clear that the three of us are fine together."

Mari Sonoda remained silent in the face of Kikuchi Keitaro's questions, but just tightly grasped the faiz belt that she wanted back, with tears flashing in her eyes.

Masato Soka, who was standing by, saw how uncomfortable Sonoda Mari looked, and immediately wanted to teach Keitaro Kikuchi a lesson, but as an actor with good manners, he held back and tried to explain with a smile.

Boom!

The sound of the door opening interrupted Masato Kusaka and also attracted the attention of Keitaro Kikuchi and Mari Sonoda. After seeing who was coming, they were both surprised.

Qian Qiao looked at Sonoda Mari and Kikuchi Keitaro, and his heart was slightly warmed. He said gently, "Sorry, I came back a little late."

After he finished speaking, Ken Takumi sat opposite Sonoda Mari under the disgusting gaze of Soka Masato, took a deep look at the Faiz belt and then took it.

"Ah Qiao~"

Keitaro Kikuchi looked at Qian Qiao who took the faiz belt with wide eyes and excitement on his face.

Mari Sonoda was also very happy when she saw Qian Qiao's bright eyes accepting the faiz belt.

"Aqiao... at that time today I..."

Qian Qiao looked at Sonoda Mari who was about to cry with a wronged face and interrupted her. He took the faiz belt solemnly in his hand and said seriously: "Mari, Keitaro. I didn't know why I was fighting before, so I caused trouble for you. From now on, I will fight to protect my dreams. No matter those who use the power of Orphino to kill people wantonly and trample on dreams, or any other guys. I will use the belt in my hand to defeat them one by one! From now on, I want to be like Takahashi...Brother! Fight for what I protect!"

"Aqiao! You are so great. You finally have your own dream. Woo woo woo."

Kikuchi Keitaro, who had an emotional outburst, directly hugged Qian Qiao and rubbed his tears and snot on Qian Qiao's clothes.

Qian Qiao felt Kikuchi Keitaro hugging her and rubbing her clothes with his tearful face, and she subconsciously wanted to push him away. But when she remembered what Takahashi Toru said when they were talking, he said not to reject other people's kindness too much, so she endured it.

However, if Takahashi Toru knew what Qian Qiao was going through now, he would definitely not take the blame. His original intention was to tell Qian Qiao not to bear everything on his own and to learn how to use reasonable and tactful words to seek help.

Masato Kusaka, who was standing by, saw that Inui Takumi had no expression of rejection or dislike for Kikuchi Keitaro's hug, and his dislike for Inui Takumi unconsciously decreased a lot, which he was not aware of. However, he realized the other meaning of Inui Takumi's words and asked carefully about it.

"Um, Qian Qiao. I'm sorry about what happened today, but I'm glad you found what you wanted to protect. But what you just said means that you think all Ophienos should not be killed?"

After listening to Kiba Yuji's words, Kikuchi Keitaro and Sonoda Mari, who were immersed in the happiness of Inui Takumi's return, also reacted. They both looked at Inui Takumi, waiting for his words, their eyes full of curiosity and worry.

Qian Qiao looked at the three people in front of him and without thinking, he directly gave his explanation.

"I had no choice but to use the power of the belt to fight those who completely abandoned their human identity and used the power of Orphino to hurt people. I would not use the power of the belt to bully those who were forced to become Orphino but wanted to continue living as humans and had never hurt anyone."

"My hands are for protecting people! Not for wantonly using my power to hurt people and trample on their dreams and lives!"

Qian Qiao looked at his hands. Facing the scrutiny of Kusaga Yato, he felt no fear at all. There was only naked sincerity and fearlessness!

After hearing Qian Qiao's answer, Kusaga Masato was very dissatisfied. Even though Sonoda Mari was right beside him, he couldn't stand it and asked again: "Humans are humans! Ophieno is Ophieno! The two can't be integrated at all. What if people are hurt because of Qian Qiao's kindness?"

"Masato Kusaka, if anyone gets hurt because of me, I will defeat the guy I let go without hesitation, and I will take the corresponding responsibility afterwards! And I believe that I will not be wrong, and I believe that Brother Takahashi will not give those guys the opportunity to hurt humans!"

After hearing Qian Qiao's answer, Kusaga Masato just snorted in dissatisfaction. Several scenes from the party flashed through his mind, and he felt even more unwilling.

At this time, Keitaro Kikuchi, who was next to Qian Qiao, spoke.

"Well. If it's Brother Takahashi, there will be no problem. Brother Takahashi can make delicious things like beef sandwiches. My grandmother said that people who can make delicious food like to help others. And whether it's Kiba or Miss Nagata, they all admire Brother Takahashi very much. I believe they are not wrong."

Mari Sonoda looked at the love that was about to overflow from Kikuchi Keitaro's body, and immediately rolled her eyes helplessly, then raised her own questions.

"Aqiao, and Keitaro. Who is this Takahashi brother you are talking about?"

When Masato Soka heard that Mari Sonoda asked the question that he wanted to ask, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and he believed even more in the famous saying that only a mother understands her son best.

"Brother Takahashi, he is..."?2

Inui Qiao and Kikuchi Keitaro both wanted to speak to end the conversation, but then stopped awkwardly and looked at each other with humility in their eyes.

Seeing this, Sonoda Mari could only raise her hands actively, making a one to Inui Takumi, and a two to Kikuchi Keitaro.

"Hehe. Qiao, you speak first, and then it's Keitaro's turn."

Kikuchi Keitaro was a little sad when he heard that he was the second person to introduce himself, and muttered, "Why am I the last one to speak again?"

Qian Qiao gave Sonoda Mari a satisfied smile, then made a selection and told her what he knew.

"Brother Takahashi used to work at Saori Bakery, and now he owns a delta belt. He uses the delta belt to constantly fight against the Orphinos. Mari, the last time the two of us were almost hunted down by Orphinos because of Keitaro, it was Brother Takahashi who saved us."

After hearing this, Sonoda Mari couldn't help but sigh: "If that's the case, the Delta belt should be the strongest. Brother Takahashi defeated that Orphino with just one punch."

Unconsciously, Sonoda Mari also called Takahashi Toru like the others.

Kusaga Masato, who was standing at the side, heard what Qian Qiao said and clenched his fists, put his hands on his chin and said in a low voice: "The power of that belt sounds very strong. I really want to experience it."

Qian Qiao remembered his own power of Orphino, and after receiving the slap from Takahashi Tetsuai, his hearing was greatly enhanced. He also heard the low voice of Kusaga Masato, and couldn't help but recall the dog Orphino that was burning just now. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Brother Takahashi, it seems like everyone thinks that your strength comes from the belt?

With his skill of leather glove, Takahashi Toru unknowingly created a false impression for many people. His overwhelming power came from the delta belt, but his own strength was not strong enough. As a result, people who did not know the truth misjudged his strength. As for those who knew his real strength, many of them were people around him, so there was no possibility of any leak, which directly caused a disguised information gap.

"Aqiao, so does Brother Takahashi know Saya? Are they a couple? If they weren't a couple, I don't think Saya would have given him the belt?"

Imaginings of impure friendship between men and women began to arise in Mari Sonoda's mind, and her round face began to become hot, especially when she saw Inui Takumi's determined gaze towards Faiz's belt.

Masato Soka beside her also smiled when he saw Sonoda Mari's rosy face, completely forgetting the unpleasantness just now. Only the smile of Sonoda Mari beside him remained in his eyes.

As Qian Qiao listened to what Sonoda Mari said, the recklessness and unceremonious character of Takahashi Toru emerged in his mind. He could only smile awkwardly and look at the belt in his hand.

During his brief contact with Toru Takahashi, he had a hunch that a guy like Toru Takahashi would never be with Saya Kimura, let alone have the idea of ​​falling in love with her.

Kikuchi Keitaro looked at the people who were suddenly immersed in their own world and saw that the sadness on their faces became more severe and their eyes became more anxious.

Just looking at the three people who were all silent, Kikuchi Keitaro couldn't bear to make a sound and break the silence. For a moment, he felt very uncomfortable and confused.

As time passed, Kikuchi Keitaro finally failed to get the chance to introduce Takahashi Toru. After dinner, Qian Qiao and the other two fell asleep with different thoughts in their minds.

……

Late at night, in the underground research institute of Zhinao Company.

Huaxing looked at the two workers in front of him, took out two belts from a can of light brown liquid with an indescribable smell, and after waking the two workers up with electric current, he put the belts on them.

The two workers saw the belts being put on their waists and immediately started screaming and begging for mercy.

"Yami! Please, don't do that!"

"No! I don't want to die yet! My wife and daughters are still waiting for me! Please."

When Hua Xing heard the two people talking about their children still waiting for them to return home, his hand paused for a moment, but those terrifying figures and the legendary guy emerged in his mind, and he immediately buckled his belt with an apologetic look.

Stab it!

There was a flash of electricity, and then a bright light emerged from the two workers...

Chapter 22 Thousand Paper Cranes

Some time later, early in the morning, at Saori Bakery.

Hisashi Hanamura, Shoichi Tsugami, Yuji Kiba and others were carrying out the morning preparations for the bakery in an orderly manner. After a busy period, they finally finished all the preparations.

Hanamura Hisashi looked at the thirty minutes left before business hours began and clapped his hands.

"Everyone, there is still some time before business hours, let's take a good rest first. I will trouble you to work hard again today."

Listening to Hisashi Hanamura's bland speeches day after day, even without the accompaniment of music like some useless orators, just Hisashi Hanamura's gentle smile and energetic aura were enough to fill them with motivation, not to mention the happy smiles on the faces of every customer who bought bread.

"Okay, Uncle Hanamura."

A unified and orderly voice fell, followed by Shoichi Tsugami's hearty laughter, and everyone sat on their stools and began to rest.

Ding Dong!

Not long after everyone sat down, the doorbell rang. Hanamura Hisashi, who was reading a newspaper, said apologetically without turning his head, "Private Marseille, sir. It's still a while before business hours. If you don't mind, please sit down inside and wait for a while."

After expanding the store, Saori Bakery deliberately set aside a small area for customers to rest.

Takahashi Toru walked into the bakery and listened to Hanamura Hisashi's speech as usual. He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Hanamura, long time no see."

When Takahashi Toru's familiar voice was heard, everyone in the bakery was stunned for a moment before they reacted.

"Takahashi! What have you been busy with lately?"

Sho Tsugami took the lead and came in front of Toru Takahashi, looking left and right at him, and mainly touching him, without any gay intentions.

"Oh hey! Tsugami, be careful. I don't like men, especially guys like you who are clumsy."

Seeing that Shoichi Tsugami had no idea of ​​restraint at all, Toru Takahashi immediately stopped his actions, walked to his seat familiarly, sat down, took a sandwich without hesitation and tasted it, then drank a cup of tea before he let out a long sigh.

"Phew! It feels so good. I've been so busy lately, riding my bike every day, but I'm finally getting things done."

Hearing Takahashi Toru's voice that he was about to finish the job, everyone in the bakery smiled and asked with concern: "Takahashi, when you are done, please come to the bakery to help."

"Haha. Don't worry. Uncle Hanamura pays very well, and you can even slack off. This kind of job is hard to find in Japan, especially in Tokyo."

At the table, Hanamura Hisashi listened to Takahashi Toru's words without any expression. He just frowned and looked at the newspaper in his hand. After taking a sip of tea, he handed the newspaper to Takahashi Toru.

"Today's newspaper said that two workers are still missing from the underground collapse incident. I really don't know how miserable their families are feeling."

Listening to Hanamura Hisashi's story, everyone in the bakery felt the same way, and the joyful atmosphere became a little heavy.

On the table, Toru Takahashi was reading the newspaper with great interest. He took out the black pen that was placed on the table because of Hikawa Makoto and the other person, and drew symbols on the newspaper that only he could understand.

After a while, Toru Takahashi finally put down his pen, put the newspaper on the table and took a sandwich in his hand.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I was wondering how to find you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Takahashi Toru had already walked out of the store.

Hanamura Hisashi picked up the newspaper on the table and took a look. When his eyes fell on the newspaper that had been half covered by Takahashi Toru, his face immediately darkened. He raised his head and wanted to lock his eyes on Takahashi Toru, but at this time he could no longer find Takahashi Toru's leaving figure. In addition, as the first guests of the day, Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru also walked in with heavy dark circles under their eyes.

Seeing the two men's expressions, Kiba Yuji immediately pulled out two chairs, served them bread according to their respective tastes, and then asked, "Officer Hikawa, have you encountered another difficult case?"

Hikawa Makoto took a bite of the bread and then said with a headache: "Recently, a group of people on a bus disappeared when passing through a tunnel. According to the evidence collected at the scene, a paper crane was burned."

After finishing his bread and wiping his mouth with a towel, Hojo Toru said, "Similar situations have occurred in other places, and there were traces of burning paper cranes at the scene. Now it is speculated that the murderer is the same person. We will definitely catch that hateful guy."

……

Zhinao Company, President’s Office.

Beetle couldn't stop being happy when he saw Aofei Yino Zetian coming forward to him.

This person was the first one to take the initiative to ask to join Zhinao Company after he took office as the president, and he joined for the strongest lucky four-leaf clover. Although his ambition was huge, he could still control it.

"Sawada, since you want to join the Lucky Clover in the Intelligent Brain Company, you need to get a belt and hand it over to me before you can join. I think you have no problem with this."

Sawada nodded after listening to Beetle's words, and after folding a paper crane, he said, "As proof of my ability to join Lucky Clover, I will bring back the strongest delta belt."

Beetle was surprised to hear that Sawada wanted to take back the strongest delta belt, but he thought that the person in front of him had lived in Meteor Villa, and that the delta belt that Takahashi Toru had obtained previously belonged to Saya Kimura, who had also lived in Meteor Villa.

In an instant, the experienced Beetle immediately thought of the method that Sawada would use. However, the method that Sawada thought of was different from that of the Beetle. Because in Sawada's cognition, the strongest delta belt was in the hands of Kimura Saya.

"Sawada, you are very good. If you bring the delta belt back to me, I will decide and you will become the captain of the Lucky Clover."

Beetle became more and more impressed by Sawada, who was ambitious, resourceful and ruthless.

"Captain? That sounds interesting. I'll be the captain then. Let's see how powerful the so-called lucky four-leaf clover is."

After he finished speaking, Sawada left the president's office without even saying goodbye, and after going downstairs, he passed by Takahashi Toru.

Takahashi Toru frowned as he looked at Sawada, whose body was covered in the smell of blood. After memorizing his appearance, he immediately sped up.

Boom!

When the loud sound of a door opening was heard, Beetle looked over with an unhappy expression, but when he found out that the figure was Takahashi Toru, his expression immediately turned into a flattering one.

Takahashi Toru just wanted to resolve the matter of Orpheino as soon as possible, but he didn't care whether it was a beetle or the previous Murakami Kyoer. He just closed the door and turned into a stag beetle.

boom!

The overwhelming momentum frightened the beetle so much that he stood there in a daze. His body fell to his knees unconsciously and he couldn't control himself and turned into the beetle Orpheino form.

Takahashi Toru looked at the beetle with a hint of disdain in his eyes. He lifted the beetle up with his hand and asked coldly, "Where do we go to the basement of Zhinao Company?"

After listening to Takahashi Toru's extremely cold words, the beetle immediately wanted to say that he knew he could lead the way, but he was unable to do so due to the extreme fear of his biological instinct. After he came to his senses, he could only nod his head frantically, but the amplitude was extremely small.
