Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Will she be angry about this and will it ruin the night?

But she just picked up the wine glass nonchalantly.

"Go ahead and come back early."

Chapter 124: Meeting in the Crowd

Seeing Oreki Gen couldn't hide the haste of his steps as he left.

It took a long time for Sayuri Yukino to look away.

But at this time, Sakuraba Mitsuki looked at the girl.

"What would you like to drink, Senior?"

Sayuri Yukino smiled and said, "Long Island Iced Tea will be fine."

"Long Island Iced Tea is not a drink like its name suggests. It has a high alcohol content."

Sayuri Yukino smiled indifferently.

"It's okay for me...but is it okay for you?"

"What does it matter to me?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki looked into the other's eyes.

Sayuri Yukino didn't mind making her words clearer.

"You just let him go find Ran-chan?"

Sakuraba Jianyue sneered.

"If I didn't allow him to, he wouldn't have gone? Besides, why don't you seem to be in any hurry at all?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki was a little suspicious. If something really happened to Asagiri Ran, it would be understandable for her to sit here, because the two of them always seemed to be at odds.

But doesn't this senior have a good relationship with everyone? Why is she sitting here so calmly, even chatting and laughing with me?

Sayuri Yukino smiled.

“What kind of accident could happen? Besides, I don’t have the strong physique like Oreki-kun. There are so many people outside. If I go, I might get into trouble myself, which would only cause more trouble. Sakuraba-san, your behavior is more like...giving them an opportunity.”

Sakuraba Mitsuki just smiled slightly. She was like a queen sitting firmly on the throne, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window under the dim and ambiguous light.

Outside is the bustling lights of the entire city and the thick darkness.

"As you said, I do care about these things. But... feelings are different from other things. I don't care about fairness in other things, but in this matter, I want everything from him, so I must give him some fairness."

Sayuri Yukino thought for a moment and looked at the other party in confusion.

"Then if he showed even the slightest struggle in front of you because of Ran-chan and you, you would not be able to tolerate it."

When Sakuraba saw Yue turning her head away, she lowered her head slightly and took a sip of wine.

"Whether I can endure or not is my business. What I do depends on what results I want to see... You didn't use mind reading skills, did you?"

Sakuraba Kentsuki looked at Sayuri Yukino suspiciously.

Sayuri Yukino smiled and shook her head.

"Whatever you say, I won't be using my mind reading skills on any of you today, so don't worry, just say whatever you want to say, I am a loyal audience."

----

Oreki Xian went downstairs quickly. He kept trying to dial the phone, but inexplicably there was no signal on his cell phone. Not to mention the Internet, even making a phone call was very difficult.

I could hear a lot of people complaining around me.

"Why is there no signal at all when there are many people?"

“Really? I can’t even send pictures!”

Oreki Gen was just thinking about the last words she said to him on the phone.

Sushi restaurant...

Since she mentioned the sushi restaurant, it proves that she is at least near the sushi restaurant.

But how many sushi restaurants are there around here? At a glance, there are signs of sushi restaurants everywhere. Sakura City is not short of sushi restaurants, just like Shu is not short of hot pot restaurants.

Oh shit...

No, there's no rush.

Oreki Genji calmed down and looked around.

If it is a sushi restaurant that can attract her attention, then those inconspicuous small signs must be excluded, especially those on two floors or more, which are unlikely to be noticed by her, so the one on the first floor is the most likely.

He wanted to take out his phone to search the map for sushi restaurants on the nearby floor, but with the place so crowded, the network was running slower than downloading a movie.

Oreki Gen quickly thought about the route he took before entering the building. If Asagiri Ryou had come here, he would most likely have taken the subway or bus, that is, walked from the exit. What would the route be like?

He suddenly remembered something. His excellent memory allowed him to quickly recall anything he had seen, even if he had not paid attention at the time. As long as he had seen it and thought about it carefully, he could recall the details at that time.

So he immediately looked in one direction.

"Sorry, I can borrow it for a moment."

The crowd in front of him was almost like a wave that needed to be pushed aside, and the boy wanted to be a surfer among these waves, to weave through this surging crowd.

He soon saw the sushi restaurant in his memory. It didn't have a very big storefront, but it was right at the corner, so if she was heading in the direction of Wu Ran's exit from the station, she would definitely pass by here, and the location was very conspicuous and could almost be seen at a glance.

Oreki Gen was in the crowd, using his height to observe.

overtake.

Why can’t Asagiri Ryou grow taller, like her sister?

At least you can see the one that stands out from the crowd at a glance.

But now, with so many people around, even if one has good eyesight, it doesn't seem to be of much use, because Asagiri Ryou has black hair, and what Asia has the most is black hair.

How are you going to find the other person? Can you shine in the crowd?

Just when Oreki Gen was looking around in confusion, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Oreki Gen was stunned for a moment, and when he picked up the phone, it turned out to be a call from Asagiri Ran.

He answered the call immediately, and amid the noisy and chaotic crowd around him, he struggled to hold the phone as close to his ear as possible.

"Hello? Where are you?!"

The voice on the other end still seemed a little vague and intermittent.

"I...I'm in the square...where is the entrance? You..."

"Which entrance? I'll be looking for you down there! Can you see me? I'm right in front of the sushi restaurant you passed by."

Oreki Xian turned his body 360 degrees, trying not to miss any angle.

"What? Why are you coming down? I'm looking for the way..."

"You suddenly screamed. I thought something happened to you. Where are you now? Stand still. If there is anything conspicuous nearby, I will come to find you!"

"What's your attitude? Why are you so fierce..."

"Where are you!"

Oreki Gen repeated this sentence.

He used to be a good-tempered person, but now, for some reason, his mood has changed significantly. Is it because he is impatient? Or is it because he has realized that he is worried, which he cannot hide at all?

But soon a faint sound came from the other side.

"I'm right in front of... a pink light sign."

Oreki Xian looked over and quickly spotted the pink sign.

Next to the pink signboard is a girl holding a mobile phone. Her figure is exactly the same as Asagiri Ran.

She was wearing a light-colored sweatshirt and a pleated skirt, and black over-the-knee socks. Although there wasn't a lot of people around her, she looked lonely.

Oreki Gen sighed softly and said.

"Sorry, I was a little hasty before. I'll go find you. Wait for me."

Asagiri Ran was stunned.

I didn't expect the other party to say that.

But when she thought that the other person actually rushed down to find her because of her unexpected scream, Asagiri Ran suddenly felt some indescribable feelings in her heart.

It was like some honey hidden in the cupboard that finally couldn't help but melt.

She was holding the phone, her hands were a little cold and her face was a little red.

"Where...where are you now?"

"I'm coming towards you."

The young man on the other end of the phone spoke in a steady voice, accompanied by a noisy sound that was unclear whether it came from his side or the people around him.

"Where is it..."

Asagiri Ran tried to stand on tiptoe to see, but her height was normal. Although she was not as petite as a little loli, facing this crowd, it was like an impenetrable wall for her. She had to go through the crowd to see anything.

It's just too difficult.

It seemed that she could only stand there and wait for the other party as he said.

But why, as he heard the rapid breathing on the other end of the phone?

My heartbeat was also speeding up unconsciously.

It was as if there was a feeling in the dark that the other person was looking for me, and was approaching me across the vast sea of ​​people.

This feeling suddenly seemed strange.

Her cheeks heated up unconsciously.

Suddenly, she heard words coming from the other end of the phone.

"Asagiri Stain."

"Ok?"

"Do you see me?"

he asks.

Asagiri Ran was stunned. In front of her were still the people moving slowly and with difficulty. She did not see the familiar, slender, and extremely handsome figure of the young man at all.

"I...No, did you find the wrong place? I'm just..."

"I didn't find the wrong person. You are right here."

This sentence made Asagiri Ran instinctively want to answer something, but she soon realized that the voice was not coming from the phone, but from behind her.

Asagiri Ran turned around immediately.

Then I saw the young man standing behind me, holding a mobile phone.

He walked through the crowd and came behind him, illuminated by the pink sign.

As long as he stands here, he is different from everyone else.

And this time and this place, the millions of people here are all different.

Those people seemed to automatically become the background of the unified layout. Apart from him, they seemed to be unimportant.

When she saw the other person, she didn't know what to say.

Until Oreki Gen put down his phone and walked in front of him.

He looked at herself without smiling, and that seemingly frozen expression made Asagiri Ran feel inexplicably timid and nervous.

"Why did you yell that before?"

Asagiri Ran avoided her gaze and answered softly.

"It's just...someone bumped into my shoulder suddenly, and then the phone lost signal and automatically hung up. I...didn't know you would be so worried."

Oreki looked at her.

"You really don't know that I'm worried about you?"

"I..."
