I, a counselor, just want to have a serious relationship in Ark

No.80 A series of six chapters

No.80 Chapter [-]

[Make a choice, half of the life of ■■, or her. 】

[....I choose ■■. 】

The left hand was tightly held by the middle-aged man, and the immature hand tried countless times to grasp the cherished memory, but in the end, it still failed.

[Why do you do such a thing! ■■■I also have the right to live, give me an explanation! 】

【....I have reasons why I have to. 】

It was a blurry scene, and I couldn't see the specific situation clearly.I can only faintly feel the anger in that young voice, and the unwavering determination in that middle-aged voice.

She has been thinking about a question, just like it has been lingering in her mind for a long time.When a devil wants to take one of two precious things from you, how to choose without regret.

She watched the elders who dominated her life keep making choices, she also looked at others, and watched everything around her keep making choices.

Under the sky covered by origin stone dust, they are destined to only choose, there is no room for the best of both worlds.

This is destined to be a repetition of tragedies... At some point, this concept has penetrated into the hearts of everyone, not just her.

Until the light and shadow flow, as if the years fly by.In that hazy dream of the past or the future, she was sitting at the desk, turning her head sideways to hear a certain man's answer to her question.

[Chen sir, you asked me how I would choose in this situation? ....Is it only possible to choose one of the two? That is really an embarrassing question. 】

Using the freshly heated water from the water dispenser to brew the black tea powder that is as bright as sand in the cup, under the always smiling face, the figure handed a cup of it to the desk in front of him.

[If possible, I will try to stop the devil itself first, and if I don't fight, who knows the result. 】

[What if after trying to resist, it turns out that the devil is irreversible? 】

【Irreversible... Ah, that was a difficult situation. 】

Carefully staring at every slight change in the man's facial expression, she saw him pondering for a while, and then gave the following answer:

[If these are really two things worth cherishing with my life, if the devil has to take something from me...then I will choose to go with it by myself and leave both things behind. 】

Gently shaking the steaming Western-style tea in your hand, wearing a monocle and casually saying such words while slowly swallowing them in your mouth... It's as if you never cared about the hot tongue temperature, Without the slightest hesitation.

【But if those two things...】

She moved her lower lip, as if she wanted to say something else.But in the end, the man who walked to his desk interrupted his words.

[Actually, Sir Chen, let’s change the question you mentioned... I prefer to make choices by myself rather than being forced to make choices by a devil. 】

He took out a bag of loose cheese shreds in his arms and tore off the seal.

[Just like entertaining your very important guests to drink tea, you have brewed two cups of weak tea, and then it is time to add the condiments in your hand that can make the tea delicious to these two cups of tea. 】

Witnessing the man put the cheese bag against the mouth of his teacup, adding bright bits and pieces that can make the tea sweet aftertaste.

【Xu You, what do you mean...】

[If you don’t add a little, it’s too bland, and if you have half of it, you’re a little unsatisfied, and if you share it with others, you’ll feel uneasy...Of course, you can also choose not to take out the seasoning and share the tea with your guests.I don't know how wise you are, Sir Chen, how would you choose? 】

【How to choose...】

Seeing the movement of the man who added half the cheese from the bag to her teacup and then stopped, she thought for a while until a relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The same three things, the same variety of decisions...that is, at that time she understood what the man wanted to make herself understand.

The host, the guest, the shredded cheese... Thanks to him, he is the only one who can make such a magical metaphor.

[My words..... prefer to drink sweeter ones?You shouldn't mind, Xu You. 】

【Ah, of course... After all, this is the Imperial Guard Bureau, you are the master, and as a guest, I can only follow the master's wishes. 】

He snatched the shredded cheese bag from the man's hand, and poured it all into his teacup unceremoniously.Looking at the man's helpless expression, it was from then on that some of the doubts in her heart were resolved.

......

"..."

"Old Chen?"

"..."

"Old Chen...!"

"... woo?"

The books that Ben used as a "pillow" under his elbows were suddenly taken away, and Chen, who was half lying on the desk, was drowsy, and his consciousness flew back to reality from the dream.

"Old Chen, look what time it is. If you don't go to the cafeteria, you won't even be able to buy lunch."

Longmen City, Guard Bureau Building, 12:55AM.

In the office that symbolizes the exclusive use of the leader of the special inspection team, a tall, one-horned police superintendent dressed as a ghost woman is looking helplessly at the superintendent of the dragon clan who has just recovered from a doze——Obviously, this The Superintendent of the Dragon Race obviously forgot about lunch, and has fallen asleep since the lunch break began at twelve o'clock sharply.

"Hoshiguma? Uh, what time... is it almost one o'clock in the afternoon?"

Helping her somewhat drowsy head, the female superintendent of the dragon clan raised her sleepy eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall in the office——as the female superintendent of the ghost clan said, if it doesn't go to one o'clock, it will be ten minutes later. The canteen is closed, maybe she will really be hungry at noon today.

But this female police superintendent called Chen, she doesn't know what's going on with her. Ever since she got up in a daze and came to work this morning, her head has been in a half-dream and half-awake state.

She obviously didn't eat breakfast or lunch, and her stomach was always empty, but she just felt tired, as tired as if she stayed up for three consecutive nights without sleep.

She couldn't even remember what happened last night... The memory seemed to be fragmented from drinking too much, and accompanied by a bad mental state, she came to the Guard Bureau where she worked.

"Old Chen, don't force yourself if you really can't support yourself. You have worked hard enough, and it's okay to give yourself a little vacation once in a while."

Seeing Chen's appearance, Hoshiguma also showed concern—although she didn't know how she managed to deal with the large pile of documents one by one in the morning, but Hoshiguma could also imagine working in such a mental state Absolutely not.

"Obviously I told you in the note I left you not to come to the Guard Bureau this morning, but you are so stubborn, alas..."

"There are so many things that need to be handled by someone... If I don't come, can I let that char siu cat come?"

Rubbing his eyes to wake up a little bit, Chen looked at the helpless Hoshiguma, shook his head and asked casually:

"Don't worry, I have my own measure... But what happened last night? Did we go out drinking? I have to say that I have never had such a swollen head before staying up for two consecutive nights... um .”

"Ah, this..."

Hearing the question Chen asked while rubbing his temples, Hoshiguma looked a little hesitant——she really didn't know how to answer the question, about what happened in front of the detention center last night.

With Chen's personality, if she knew that this kind of thing happened last night, she would definitely get to the bottom of the details of the incident——but the problem is that she was also affected to a certain extent. Master's blessing, his current state may not be the same as Chen's.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later, let me see if there is any new news about work..."

Seeing Xingxiong's deliberate expression, Chen didn't have the intention to continue waiting for her answer because of his poor condition.

Instead, I turned on the mobile phone next to the desk to check the information that I might have missed during sleep, so as to stimulate my drowsy mind.

".....Um?"

But at this look, Chen was stunned, and the previous tiredness immediately dissipated.

Because when she turned on the screen, she suddenly saw the missed communication popping up on the main interface.

[Xu You, 12:25, missed call 1]

[Xu You, 12:31, missed call 2]

【12:39, missed call 3...】

A long column that fills up the phone screen.

.......

No.80 Chapter 55 Sunny day, [-]:[-]

No.80 Chapter Seven

"beep----"

It was the ringing of the phone when no one answered it for a long time.

.....Troublesome.

Walking on the streets in Longmen City, squinting at the noon sun, Xu You's mood was extremely complicated.

To be honest, because of a certain Miss Inspector, he still hasn't been able to enjoy the lunch he was looking forward to.

how you said that?Could it be that the inspector had already been "solved" by him?

This is indeed the case, but the current situation is unexpected even for Xu You——about a certain Miss Supervisor who "kills but doesn't bury.

【Miss Awakening...】

[Please tell me, sir. 】

【Are... are you sure we're going to be handcuffed like this? 】

[Sorry sir, I left the key in the Supervision Department to prevent you from escaping.If you don't mind the trouble, sir, you can pick it up with me. 】

【...Forget it then. 】

With complicated eyes, Xu You, who was walking on the street, glanced at a certain well-behaved unicorn lady who was "hand in hand" with him, and he felt his stomach aching all the time.

Xu You's original plan was to go to the Guard Bureau after visiting the snow pheasant and hand over the strange potion in hand to Xingxiong and others for investigation and analysis, if he could take a look at Chen's situation by the way.

But things are going well now, thanks to the supervisor, his plan has been messed up in sevens and eighties.

Because of the D32 steel shackles, Xu You couldn't be separated from the inspector for the time being.No one answered Chen's phone call, so Xu You could only tentatively think that the superintendent of the Dragon clan was probably still asleep.

So now he could only take the inspector lady out of the hospital and onto the streets of the city.

【I can only go directly to the Guard Bureau first...】

Holding the delicate hand of a certain Qilin lady, walking in the bustling streets in the center of Longmen city, Xu You had no choice but to change the itinerary.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, the two walking on the street must hold hands tightly at all times and cover the shackles with their respective sleeves—although this is nothing, but because of the difference between the behavior and appearance of the two The reason is that Xu You can be regarded as full and keeps turning his head.

"Hey, look at that girl, she seems to be the eldest lady of our Yan Kingdom's aristocratic lineage! She is so beautiful, is she worthy of being called 'Kirin'..."

"Wow, look, the Victorian man next to her is equally handsome! Could it be that he is also a descendant of a nobleman?"

"Their relationship seems to be very close. Are they dating? It's really exciting. As long as they are perfect to a certain extent, even a couple who show affection can't be envied at all..."

One after another, whispering.

Walking in the crowd, it was clear that Xu You had deliberately controlled the two of them to walk along the inconspicuous corners of the street as much as possible, but it still attracted so many eyes and discussions.

You said that if the relationship between the two is really as discussed by passers-by, that's all. If it's really a date, it's not normal for couples to hold hands and go shopping.

But the problem is that he and this Miss Qilin are not that kind of "intimate" partner at all, but the relationship between "suspect" and "policeman", "suspect" and "detective" is as bad and life-threatening.

"Hi sir, I am the entertainment reporter of the comprehensive variety show of Longmen TV Channel [-], can I borrow a little time from you? We would like to interview you and the lady next to you who is your lover. In such hot weather, You two..."

But things seemed to be enough, not to mention hearing so many passers-by talking about it, and even encountering such a situation directly—— being interviewed by a reporter from an entertainment variety show as a couple in love, the exposure was even greater. It's going up like a straight line.

"Sorry, Miss Reporter, although it is an honor to accept your interview, we have booked a movie that will be released soon, and we are on our way to the cinema. If possible, could you please find someone else?"

"Ah, how about that, then don't bother Mr. and Mrs.... I wish you two a pleasant date in our Longmen city."

In this regard, Xu You could only decline without wasting time as much as possible—he didn't want to stay in front of the reporter in front of him and the cameraman behind him holding the TV station's logo camera for even a second.

Xu You only hoped that this "unsuccessful" interview would be edited instead of being broadcast live on the TV station. Otherwise, if a certain Miss Film saw it and misunderstood it, tsk tsk, the consequences would be disastrous.

Hurry up, and finally, after walking through the busy noon streets in Longmen City, Xu You brought the Qilin lady beside him to the building of the Guard Bureau.

"Today is Tuesday, that's right, it's the time when everyone is on duty...huh?"

Although the left hand tightly held by a certain Qilin lady was sweating a little due to the gradually rising temperature, but due to various reasons, Xu You couldn't spare it to dry it with a handkerchief.So, he had no choice but to take out the phone with one hand with his free right hand, wanting to contact Hoshiguma.

"brake----"

But at this moment, an accident happened.

I saw a car driving past the steps in front of the Guard Bureau building from the outside and parked steadily in front of Xu You's eyes. The window of the driver's seat was slowly rolled down.

"Xu...you...!"

"...!"

The so-called fear of what comes, when Xu You saw the figure gradually revealed behind the window, a feeling of incomparable fluctuations suddenly arose in his heart.

That figure was none other than a certain blond Miss Ferlin staring straight at him with wide-eyed tiger eyes.

Oh, if you look carefully, you can also see the TV entertainment program being played on the car screen beside her, and the figure of a pink-haired Zalak girl with complex complexion on the passenger seat who is also familiar to Xu You.
