After an accident, Watanabe Temple was in a better mood than ever before.
And this good mood was also noticed by the people around her. Skylark glanced at the herbivore that suddenly hummed a song strangely, and couldn't understand what made her mood better——
What happened just now? He spent two seconds recalling it, but still couldn't find the reason.
A trace of confusion flashed in the man's eyes.
Hibari Kyouya is not a person who likes to embarrass himself. When he encounters a problem, he is usually used to solving the problem or solving the person who raised the problem.
He shifted his gaze to the herbivore, stayed there briefly for a few seconds, and then looked away lightly.
The unconscious girl was still smiling. Her smile started from this moment and lasted until the end of the patrol.
"It is indeed the route compiled by Mr. Kusakabe!" Watanabeji said enthusiastically, praising the results of Tetsuya Kusakabe's work, "I have been here in Namimori for so long, and this is the first time I have discovered that Namimori is so beautiful!"
"It's a pity that I have been busy with work and haven't been able to go out and take a good look. I missed so many scenery." The girl complained, "It's just summer and it looks so beautiful now. It must be even more beautiful in spring."
?”
I don't know which words pleased the man. When Watanabeji raised his head again, the aura around Hibari had softened a lot, and even his mood was visibly better.
The happy boss made a decision,
Then, Watanabeji was forced to stand at the door of someone else's shop, hesitating and hesitating, refusing to move.
"Mr. Hibari..." Watanabeji said with great difficulty, "Should we try another way..."
"Follow up."
"Forget about patrolling, collecting protection fees and so on..."
"It was done this way before."
"Before? How long ago?"
"forgotten."
"????"
That's right, Hibari Kyouya decided to take her to collect protection money from street shops after the patrol was over!!
After just understanding what his boss meant, even Watanabe Temple, who was immersed in a girl's fantasy, shook off all the pink bubbles in shock and returned to reality——
What's the point of collecting protection fees?
Isn't the Feng Ji Foundation a serious company? She remembers that it's not a local gangster organization like gangsters or gangs! Why can Mr. Skylark take the matter of collecting protection money so naturally, as if he had often done so in the past!
Wait, I often do this... Watanabe Temple had already reluctantly remembered the description in the report given by the detective,
It seems like he really did this a lot in the past!!!
That's not OK!
Aren't they dating?
Even if Mr. Hibari doesn’t understand, Mr. Kusakabe doesn’t understand either!
If this is a date, who would bring a girl on a date to collect protection money!!
Watanabe Temple's heart was a little messy, but this messiness was not successfully conveyed to the target. Hibari Kyoya was dressed like a young college student, with a white shirt and black pants, and the surroundings were quite warm.
His aura made even passers-by unable to help but keep their eyes on him.
But it was such a person who was planning to take his poor assistant to the store to collect protection money!
As I said before, no one can stop what Hibari Kyouya wants to do, but before Watanabe Temple could say his next words, he saw that the man had opened the door of the store and walked away.
Got in.
Watanabeji only had time to send a message to Kusakabe Tetsuya on his mobile phone, and he followed him into the store at a trot—it would definitely be more social if he stayed outside!
When the girl ran into the store, she suddenly realized that the situation in the store was different from what she expected?
The slightly fat shop owner was standing at the end of the bar, smiling and handing a wad of yen into Hibari Kyouya's hand.
Watanabe Temple: "?"
She couldn't believe her eyes. The next second, she saw the man casually pick up the stack of banknotes and walk towards her direction.
"Mr. Hibari?" Watanabeji subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop him.
Forget about charging protection fees or anything like that!
Hibari Kyouya paused, glanced at the girl's outstretched hand, and then placed the stack of yen in her hand.
Watanabe Temple: "?"
She stood there stupidly, staring at the figure on the banknote.
what's the situation?
Why give her this?
Is she taking the protection money collected by Skylark?
Wait, she seems to be holding protection money now... standing in the store that was just "robbed"??
Watanabeji woke up early and raised his eyes to see the smiling face of the fat coffee shop owner.
"Oh, are you the little girl who came with Yunque?" The boss was not only not angry, but also looked quite kind.
"I'm very sorry!" The girl bowed and was about to return the wad of money to the boss, but the boss waved her hand and refused.
"Hey, what are you doing for me!" The fat boss waved his hand twice, not intending to accept the protection money. "This is nothing compared to the losses caused by the gangsters!"
"Fortunately, that boy Skylark is back, so you don't have to worry about little gangsters coming to this street in the future."
Watanabe Temple was stunned.
Then the fat boss kindly pointed to the door: "Aren't you going out yet? I think the kid has gone away."
The girl looked back and saw that Hibari Kyouya was no longer at the door. She looked at the money in her hand, then at the fat boss, and under the encouraging eyes of the other party, she gritted her teeth and chased out.
The fat boss was left leisurely to make another cup of coffee. When a regular customer came in, he asked, "Boss, are you in a good mood today?"
"Yeah," the fat boss smiled and glanced outside the door, "I just suddenly felt that being young was great."
The child they watched grow up was finally willing to accept others around him.
Watanabe Temple had already chased him out of the door. She quickly glanced left and right, but did not see the skylark-like figure on the street.
Just when he was about to raise his foot and continue chasing, he suddenly saw a man waiting there with an impatient expression on the side of the store sign.
"So slow." Yunque frowned tightly. "What are you doing in there?"
The girl thought about what the fat boss had just said and opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start or how to say it.
Skylark didn't seem to be in the mood to get to the bottom of it. He just said "Follow me" again, turned around and walked into the next shop.
Watanabeji could only follow her for a long time. The interface on her mobile phone screen still displayed a letter from Tetsuya Kusakabe——
【from Tetsuya Kusakabe:】
【Please be sure to keep an eye on Mr. Gong!】
This sentence seems easy, but if something really happens, can she really stop Mr. Hibari? Watanabe Temple has long expressed great doubts about this matter.
But what’s surprising is that after collecting the protection fees, nothing really happened?
Most of the owners of these stores are the same as the fat owner of the first store. They all act very familiar with Skylark when they see him. They even smile when they entertain people, and they are even more happy when paying the protection fee——
Just like the previous time, after receiving the protection money, Hibari Kyouya habitually placed it in the girl's hand.
At first, Watanabeji just helped him hold it and put it away out of habit, and didn't feel anything was wrong.
Until a shop owner who looked like an old man smiled and said to the old woman next to him: "Look, it's time for this kid to hand in his wallet. He's as conscious as I was back then."
The old lady patted him on the shoulder: "You old man, how can you compare with Kyoumi? Besides, you were still hiding your private money to buy wine back then!"
The old shopkeeper and his wife were bickering, but the girl here suddenly felt that the money in her hand was extremely hot——
Wha, what the hell!
Isn't this the assistant who is helping his boss keep the "protection money" to help the boss do evil?
It is said that elderly people like to have romantic partners, and now it turns out that this is indeed the case!
Although she found a suitable reason to explain this matter, Watanabeji had already found an excuse to return all the hot protection money to Hibari, but she failed.
"Don't you want it?" There was a trace of doubt in the man's eyes.
Watanabeji didn't think about when she wanted protection money at first. It wasn't until the other party reminded her that she remembered the scene when she reached out to stop Hibari in the fat boss's shop——
"That's, that's...!" The girl stammered in explanation, her dark eyelashes hanging down in panic, trembling like uneasy butterflies, looking left and right but not daring to look.
lark.
That’s because I want to stop him so that he doesn’t collect protection money!
In fact, she was no longer so afraid of Skylark, especially after discovering that the other party was actually very tolerant to her most of the time. Otherwise, she would not have been so bold as to directly stop him.
But is the point about fear?
Isn't the point why as soon as she stretched out her hand, Yunque happily gave it to her?
Although judging from the reactions of those shop owners, charging protection fees and the like seems to be an ordinary thing that you don't need to worry about.
But that’s not the point!
Why was it that the skylark was given to her as soon as she stretched out her hand?
