They all pushed me!

After following this cautious man for a distance, Beichuan Liang discovered that the other party's destination was not the front yard at all, but the laundry room in the middle yard.

When the kindergarten lets children participate in outdoor activities, they often change them into clothes that are resistant to dirt and wear. If a child accidentally soils his or her clothes while eating or exercising, the caregivers will help wash and dry them here. For children like Abiko Samejima, whose parents are busy with work and simply send their children to the kindergarten, their daily changes of clothes are also kept here.

However, because it is the kindergarten's laundry room, it also has another important responsibility.

Wash diapers for young children.

It can only be said that Kitagawa Ryo, who had been with Ruby for two years, smelled a familiar scent as soon as he walked in here. The look he looked at the middle-aged man not far away became more and more unfriendly. He stretched out his hand to pull out the wooden sword that he had been carrying with him these days in his backpack.

He probably had guessed the other party's intention.

Because today is the kindergarten's open day, basically all the school staff are busy looking after the children and guiding the parents in the front yard, so the laundry room in the middle yard is quiet.

The man tiptoed into the laundry room, showing an expression of great enjoyment, and even took an exaggerated deep breath.

Just as he was surrounded by children's clothes and took out gloves and a plastic bag from his pocket, and was about to stuff the few pieces he liked into the bag, Beichuan Liang's voice came slowly from outside.

"I advise you to stop. I have already notified the security."

The man who had never expected that someone would follow him suddenly turned around, but after seeing that the person blocking the way was just an elementary school student who looked no more than 11 or 12 years old, the panicked expression on his face eased a little, and he threatened in a hoarse voice:

"Get away from me, kid."

However, since his theft had been discovered, the man did not intend to stay any longer. Although he was not sure whether what the other party had just said was true or false, to be on the safe side, he chose to rush out the door, trying to push Beichuan Liang away and escape.

However, after getting closer, the man also discovered the wooden sword in Beichuan Ryo's hand. Not wanting to get entangled with Beichuan Ryo, he simply pushed down a nearby clothes hanger.

Kitagawa Ryoya never expected that his first practical use of his wooden sword would be to push away all kinds of clothes and diapers flying towards his face.

After briefly apologizing to the founder of the ancient swordsmanship that he practiced, Beichuan Ryo directly raised the tip of the sword and aimed at the man's face and nose. His wooden sword was not sharpened. If he wanted to make the other party temporarily lose the ability to move, this area with dense nerves and strong pain was the best choice.

He was very strong, and his angle and timing of attack were impeccable. The man did not expect that Beichuan Ryo could make such a fierce counterattack without any panic. He was hit hard on the nose, leaving a bloody mark.

As the man's steps paused in pain, Kitagawa Ryo kicked him again directly at the man's vital part of the lower body. This move had nothing to do with swordsmanship. It was a ruthless move taught to him by his agent, Mr. Izaki. It required both speed and accuracy.

All I can say is that Mr. Izaki might have been a man with a story when he was young.

After kicking the man back into the door with a knife and a kick, Beichuan Liang saw that the man looked like he was going to get angry, so he lightly stepped back a few steps and opened his mouth to shout loudly:

"Catch the thief!"

This sudden noise startled the thieves nearby. Needless to say, Beichuan Liang's voice was so loud that not only the children playing in the front yard but also the parents visiting the classroom in the backyard could hear it clearly.

Children of this age are naturally good at joining in the fun. After more than a hundred children started running, the two teachers who were responsible for maintaining order in the front yard gave up the action and simply ran to the middle yard.

After all, Beichuan Liang was shouting to catch a thief. If it was something like catching a murderer, they would probably have started to evacuate immediately.

The man who was annoyed by Beichuan Liang's shout knew that if he delayed any longer, it would be difficult to leave. He even threw away the bag of clothes he had packed in his hand, and rushed towards Beichuan Liang, covering the wound on his face and intending to go forward and knock down the child who was in the way.

Just after Kitagawa Ryo dodged the throwing object that had both physical and chemical effects, he saw the man swinging his fist towards his face.

After using his size advantage to dodge nimbly, with his adrenaline rising rapidly, Beichuan Liang simply stopped showing mercy and stabbed directly at the man's left waist. When he subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect that part, he swung a few quick knives at the man's nose and face.

By the time the parents, school security guards and other staff, as well as the children in the front yard ran over here, the scene they saw had changed to Beichuan Ryo chasing a bloody prisoner all over the yard.

However, after seeing the large army arriving, Beichuan Liang quickly put away the wooden sword in his hand, pointed at the man and quickly explained what had just happened.

The security guard quickly stepped forward and controlled the man who actually had no ability to fight anymore. The other caregivers also began to explain to the parents who came later while busying themselves with picking up the clothes scattered everywhere, which was actually quite a workload.

However, because the confrontation between the two ended too quickly, it was only a minute or two from the time Beichuan Ryo shouted to the time everyone came over. The children who ran fast could barely see the last few strikes and the scene of Beichuan Ryo putting away the knife. The children who came slowly could only feel a little annoyed that they did not join in the fun, and turned to listen to the excited and exaggerated stories from other children.

For boys of this age, two branches of suitable shapes can make them enjoy fighting each other for a long time. Everyone has fantasized about the day when he can use a magic weapon to defeat the bad guys fiercely and handsomely.

Although Kitagawa Ryo was only using the most basic wooden sword, in the eyes of many children, it was already covered with a layer of sacred light. What's more, many of them had also seen the Kamen Rider in which Kitagawa Ryo appeared, and their eyes lit up for a moment.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Amid the chaotic noise, Kitagawa Rumi trotted over to Kitagawa Ryo with difficulty. He had just reunited with the staff about everything that had just happened. As the guardian, Kindaichi Toshiro was also communicating with the principal of the kindergarten on the other side.

Although the children found it lively and exciting, most of the parents frowned and kept expressing their dissatisfaction to the school when they thought about how the kindergarten was just boasting about its comprehensive security facilities and a thief broke into the campus the next moment.

"I am fine."

Beichuan Liang rubbed his wrist. In fact, the opponent was not running away all the time. He still hit him twice unexpectedly. However, compared with the scars he left on the opponent, basically nothing happened.

However, Kitagawa Rumi still held his wrist nervously and kept checking it, and even blew air at that direction, and the warm air felt itchy when it hit his skin.

Just when Kitagawa Ryo was about to put the wooden sword back into his backpack, he discovered that the backpack placed in the corner of the yard seemed to be covered by something not so good.

Kitagawa Rumi also noticed this, but she walked up without any hesitation and picked up the blue and white bowl. She even considerately folded it again and handed it to a nearby caregiver who was collecting the clothes.

I can only say that it’s a blessing that what fell on there wasn’t some child’s diaper. Beichuan Liang still likes this bag of his very much.

However, during the short time that Kitagawa Rumi left, Samejima Abiko, who was originally with her, followed Kitagawa Ryo and asked softly from behind:

"Can you let me watch you put the knife away again?"

"—"

After fully experiencing the heartbeat of the thief just now, Beichuan Liang turned around and saw this serious-looking girl who looked older than Ruby.

Unlike Kitagawa Rumi's dazzling blonde hair and red eyes, the girl who spoke to him had the same black hair and black eyes as Kitagawa Ryo. When the two of them stood together, they might look more like a pair of real siblings in the eyes of outsiders.

"I remember your name was... Samejima Abiko."

Because Kitagawa Rumi pointed at her in the audience, the other party immediately won the first place in the painting competition, so Kitagawa Ryo specially wrote down her name, and then he also half-knelt down with a smile:

"Why do you want me to do this again?"

This was a little habit taught to him by Toshio Kindaichi. When he first met Kitagawa Ryo, he half-squatted so that the eyes of the adult and the child could be level.

In the words of Toshiro Kindaichi, "Children have a lot to say, but if they look up, it will be easy for them to slip from their throats and fall back into their hearts."

However, what surprised Beichuan Ryo was that when he squatted down like this, Samejima Abiko turned her eyes away again, as if she didn't dare to look him in the eye. She just answered the question that Beichuan Ryo had just asked softly:

"Because - I want to draw what happened just now."

"Is this so..."

Beichuan Liang nodded. It was the first time he met such a timid girl. He raised the corner of his mouth with amusement:

"But this reason doesn't seem to convince me."

Samejima Abiko nodded decisively and spoke emotionlessly as if stating an established fact:

"Because I'm Ruby's best friend."

Kitagawa Rumi, who had just completed the task of handing over the blue and white bowl, just walked over and heard this. She thought that Samejima Abiko had finally agreed to her request, so she quickly ran over, took her hand, and said to her brother proudly:

"Yeah, yeah, Abiko and I are good friends."

"Meh, my brother also said that I have no friends."

After saying that, Kitagawa Rumi stuck out her tongue and made a cute face.

"If that's the case, then there's really no way to refuse."

Beichuan Liang spread his hands and did not expose the lie. After all, if the two of them could really become friends because of this incident, it would be good news.

Then, he re-performed the scene of putting away the sword in front of Samejima Abiko, and even added a Iai move.

Samejima Ahiko nodded excitedly and began to sketch simple lines on the sketchbook she carried with her. Kitagawa Rumi was confused by the interaction between the two. She came to Samejima Ahiko and curiously read out the only English word in the sketchbook besides the lines:

"Blade?"

"Yeah, I want to draw a combat comic involving Blade (knife)."

When talking about her favorite topic, Samejima Abiko became much more lively. She then turned to the previous page, which was her work that won the first prize in this kindergarten painting competition. She then solemnly and meticulously filled in the originally blank part of the face with the features of the face, and used a pencil to focus on outlining his dark eyes.

Kitagawa Rumi nodded thoughtfully.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, why does she feel that the painting looks so much like her brother?

-------------------------------------

"Are there really criminals who steal children's clothes?"

Hoshino Ai was lying on the sofa in Kitagawa's house, looking shocked. She pointed her finger at her lips and said hesitantly:

"Although I have heard of underground idols selling their stockings and bath water, it is too much to target a four or five-year-old child."

"So I couldn't help myself at that time and hit him."

Kitagawa Ryoya nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which, what magic do those things have?"

Hoshino Ai raised her calves and looked thoughtfully at the white stockings on her legs:

"Would Ryo want it?"

“…I don’t know how to answer your question.”

Beichuan Liang was choked for a moment, but immediately denied it:

"I'm not a pervert. I've already torn off more than ten pairs of your stockings during the rehearsal of "Youth Taboo Game". "

"Huh... Why do I feel that Liang's behavior is perverted enough?"

Not wanting to continue discussing this topic with Hoshino Ai, Kitagawa Ryo simply changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, how's Ai's idol job going lately?"

"It's OK. The new album and single will be released soon."

Hoshino Ai confidently made a heart gesture to Beichuan Ryo and blinked:

"I am still the center of the group."

"Well, come on."

Beichuan Liang nodded. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:

"So - what are your relationships in the group now?"

Ever since Hoshino Ai joined B-Komachi, she has been the unshakable center of the group. This kind of "unshakable center" is actually not uncommon in the early stages of an idol group's debut.

But as Hoshino Ai's work focus shifts, B Komachi's popularity is also rising rapidly, and other members will naturally have their own fans.

This is the advantage of idol groups, but also their disadvantage.

What’s funny is that even Kitagawa Ryo himself has read those fans’ comments on the Internet.

On one hand, he said, "Love's stage performance is not that strong at all, it's all exaggerated," and on the other hand, he kept praising his own single push, saying, "It's not inferior to Love at all," "Second only to Love," and "The performance is on par with Love." What he is showing is a double standard.

However, this also made Kitagawa Ryo further worried about the atmosphere in the team. After all, he had heard about the discord within B Komachi a month or two ago.

The immovable C position.

He is both a star and a target.

"No problem, I can handle it."

Hoshino Ai nodded and answered in a firm tone.

However, when she saw the doubtful look on Beichuan Liang's face, she raised the corners of her mouth in a quirky way:

"If Liang is really worried, would you like to make a cameo appearance in our new song's MV?"

"But the appearance fee will be very low."

"What's the new song called? When will the MV start filming? Let me see if there's a schedule."

With almost no hesitation, Beichuan Ryo agreed immediately.

"It's next week."

"The name is Dissonance."

Chapter 5: Wanting to love but not being able to love is also a kind of misfortune (k)

Inside the B Komachi practice room in Tokyo.

"He-chan, are you still eating this vegan salad for lunch today? It feels almost like a rabbit's meal."

“Actually, it’s not bad once you get used to it.”

Gao Fenghe opened the lunch box in front of him, broke open the disposable chopsticks, and answered incoherently while putting the green leafy vegetables into his mouth.

Seeing that Gao Fenghe had no intention of replying, the girl shrugged her shoulders and said to another girl who was sitting on the sofa and playing with her phone:

"Hey, Shengzi, do you want to go eat together?"

"I'm not particularly hungry yet. You go first."

Having hit a snag again with Watanabe Seiko, the girl felt a little bored and walked out of the room muttering to herself.
