17 Little Sera on the platform is pitiful and helpless
This child named Masumi Sera is also a girl.
Although her short curly hair and the combination of shorts and a striped shirt made her look like a boy.
"Hu~hu..."
Masumi Sera ran to the other side of the platform and saw three men carrying guitar bags getting on the train. He hurriedly got on the nearest car and then ran from inside the car to the car where the three men were.
……
In the train compartment.
Shuichi Akai, Scotland and Bourbon stood back to back, and no one spoke.
Perhaps because he felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Scotland said halfway through: "I'll transfer to the Touto Line in Ikebukuro later."
Akai Shuichi: "I know."
Bourbon: "Don't worry, I'm not a directionally challenged person..."
Scotland:……
He just wanted to ease the atmosphere... Come to think of it, this new guy is quite similar to Boss Gin, whether it's his hair or his innate aloof temperament.
After about two stops, Shuichi Akai's eyes suddenly fixed behind his sunglasses and he looked towards the rear of the current carriage.
His movements were slightly larger, attracting the attention of the two people next to him.
"Did you find anything?" Scotland pulled his hood.
"...No, I didn't find anything." Akai Shuichi turned his head, still frowning, "I just felt like someone was watching me."
Bourbon looked at the relatively empty carriage, lowered his hat, and said in a deep voice: "When you are on a mission outside, you should not attract too much attention... Find a seat."
There were obviously quite a lot of empty seats on the bus, so them standing there did attract some attention.
However, when he arrived in Ikebukuro, Shuichi Akai discovered strangely that the feeling of being watched had not dissipated.
'Who could it be?'
Shuichi Akai frowned and did not communicate with the other two core members, but was thinking in his heart.
He didn't sense any malice in that gaze, but he couldn't find its source... It was so strange, and there was no place to hide in the car.
……
The distance from Haido-cho to Ueno is not short, and it takes about 40 to 50 minutes by subway alone.
The three-person task force has even changed three subway lines...
However, what made Akai Shuichi depressed was that that gaze was still there!
"…Um…Scotch, Bourbon." Akai Shuichi said helplessly, "Wait for me at the next transfer point."
Scotland asked curiously, "Why?"
"That person is still there, I have to find him." Shuichi Akai adjusted his sunglasses.
Bourbon frowned, "Is he following you?"
"It seems like you guys don't feel anything, right?"
Akai Shuichi asked back.
Bourbon and Scotland looked at each other and shook their heads. It seemed that they were indeed targeting Shuichi Akai.
However, they have changed three routes, but the other party is still following them. Does he have some special purpose?
Both of them were a little wary.
……
"We've arrived at Kasuga Station. Passengers who need to change to the Ginza Line can get off here..."
The train announcement sounded.
Three people carrying guitar bags got out of the car one after another...
After getting off the bus, Bourbon took the lead and said, "I'll go buy the ticket. Scotland, you help this new guy find the person who is following him."
"O~kay."
Scotland gestured as if that was all right.
He and Shuichi Akai looked at each other, and walked towards the railway exit together in tacit understanding.
Just as the train behind them was about to close its doors, a small figure suddenly jumped out of the carriage and followed the two of them at a distance...
Seeing the two people in front of him passing a corner and disappearing from sight for a short time, the little figure was obviously a little anxious and rushed past the corner at a faster speed. But he didn't expect that -
"Whoa!"
The little figure bumped into someone as soon as he turned the corner and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the person who bumped into her was quick-witted and grabbed her collar.
"……child?"
Scotland looked at the little man held in Shuichi Akai's hand, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make.
Especially when I saw... Shuichi Akai's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Scotland: Mr. Zhuxing is indeed as good as Gin!
' Apparently, Zhu Xingjun knows this kid...' Scotland thought silently, taking a step back and waiting for the situation to develop.
"——I'm telling you! Why are you following me? Go home right now!"
Akai Shuichi put the man down and scolded in a low voice.
The scolded child raised his head, revealing eyes that were somewhat similar to Akai Shuichi's, with a somewhat aggrieved expression, "But, brother... I haven't seen you for a long time, when did you come back? I want to hear you play the guitar..."
She was the tomboy who was called Sera Masumi by her companions on the platform.
Scotland stood behind Akai Shuichi, a little surprised: Brother? Is this Zhu Xingjun's sister? He thought she was a boy.
Akai Shuichi: "..."
He was really confused. He had waited so long for this mysterious organization to arrange an operation, but he happened to run into his younger sister... But why was his younger sister running around on the street at this time? Didn't she have to go to class?
Akai, who had just returned to China, had not yet realized that Japanese students had spring break.
His face turned even darker. “What are you listening to? Go home right away. I have things to do. Be obedient.”
After being yelled at twice, Sera Masumi looked even more aggrieved, clutching the edge of her pants tightly: "But, but... I don't have any money anymore..."
After taking two subway rides, she had already spent all the change she had on her. She had even sneaked on this last ride without paying the fare.
Akai Shuichi: "..."
A very speechless incident happened. This girl is running around without money! Don't let her get sold out and not even know how to count the money!
Looking at Sera Masumi's aggrieved expression, Akai Shuichi had a headache, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only say unhappily: "Okay, just stand here and don't move, I'll go buy you a ticket."
Then he turned around and whispered apologetically, "Sorry Scotland, please help me look after her..."
"……it is good."
Masumi Sera stared at the long-haired figure as he walked away.
However, after Akai Shuichi walked away, she felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it. Her head almost dropped to the ground, and she tried hard to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
Scotland:"……"
It’s over, he felt that the girl was about to cry...what to do?
Scotland felt a headache when he saw the little sister lowering her head with a very aggrieved look on her face.
As he was in pain, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind:
Just now, didn't this sister say she wanted to listen to Zhu Xingjun playing guitar? Well...even though he doesn't have a guitar, it's OK!
Scotland took off the guitar bag on his back, opened the hood, took out the bass on the outside of the guitar bag, walked up to Sera Masumi, bent down and said with a smile:
"Do you... like music?"
"……Eh?"
Sera Masumi raised her head dazedly, the tears in her eyes had not yet dried.
Seeing this scene, Scotland suddenly felt warm in his heart. He squatted down and put the bass in the other person's hand. "Come... Big brother will teach you how to play the bass, okay?"
"Bass?" Sera Masumi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately forgot about being scolded by his brother. "Is bass also a guitar?"
"No, bass and guitar are two different instruments." Scotland smiled and shook his head, and began to teach her step by step, trying to make the little girl happy, "Come, put your hand here... This is the 'do' of the scale..."
'do'~'re'~'mi'~
The melody of the scale slowly sounded.
However, there were no other listeners on the platform at this time.
Not long after, Bourbon heard the sound and found Scotland, who was teaching children to play bass here.
Bourbon: "...?"
Oh, he just bought a ticket, didn't he? Why are people suddenly teaching how to play bass in Scotland?
And what about the new guy named Moroboshi Dai? Did he run away too? Is he the reincarnation of Gin?
