The young police officer hurried in, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were even more anxious.
"Your Excellency Jason! Your Excellency Jason!"
When Urashima saw Jason, he shouted again and again.
The already fast speed has become even faster.
The young police officer raised his hand to grab Jason's arm, but Jason dodged without a trace.
Urashima staggered and almost fell.
The old monk of Tongshou Temple raised his hand to support him.
"Don't worry, speak slowly."
The old monk said kindly.
The voice is soft, with a soothing feeling.
Almost instantly, Urashima calmed down.
The young police officer took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Here's the thing—"
…
Last night, Urashima, who was worried about paying the bill again, justly refused to go to the 'Glowing Cuisine Kiosk', and went straight home.
After a hot bath and heated milk, Urashima felt the beauty of the world.
There was nothing special. After drying his hair, Urashima fell into a deep sleep.
Until 6:15am.
This is his normal wake up time.
After a little activity, Urashima began to exercise: morning jogging.
This is a habit that Urashima developed when he was a student.
Similarly, there are not many people who have such a habit.
Therefore, Urashima also has many friends who go for morning jogs.
However, everyone seems to be a bit busy recently, only one young girl named 'Yukiko' insists on doing morning exercises with him every day.
Yukiko is a college student at a nearby university.
For the convenience of part-time work, instead of living in the school dormitory, I rented a bachelor apartment nearby. It is not in the same community as Urashima's bachelor apartment, but it is not far away.
"Morning, Urashima!"
Yukiko in white tracksuit greeted Urashima.
The smile is kind and hearty.
Good looking as always.
"Morning, Yukiko."
Urashima responded with a smile.
When it comes to beautiful ladies, especially the young ones, few men can resist.
Urashima is no exception.
However, Urashima is self-aware.
He knows exactly what he can and cannot do.
Therefore, Urashima didn't want to think about unnecessary things.
He just regarded Yuxiko as a morning exercise partner.
"let's start?"
Urashima asked.
"Okay, run 5 kilometers at a constant speed!"
Yukiko nodded, and then, the female college student called out to start.
The two started running at the same time.
There is no competition, let alone competition.
It is to accompany each other when exercising.
On this premise, chatting with each other has become normal.
Urashima will talk about work.
It is the kind of thing that does not violate discipline and can make people raise their vigilance.
Yukiko talked about campus life.
However, something is different today.
"Urashima, do you remember 'Ashi'?"
Yukiko asked.
"Ashi?"
"Is that the girl with the single ponytail who is good at sports?"
Urashima asked.
A Shi, a classmate of You Xizi, is very good at sports and has participated in clubs such as sprinting and high jump. She is also a little famous in You Xizi's university, and it is rumored that she has received a full scholarship.
Also ran with him twice.
Really great.
He is no match at all.
After being brought into the rhythm, he was out of breath for a few minutes and had to surrender.
Because of this, the girl named A Shi stopped looking for him after two visits.
"Well, that's her."
"She's been in a bit of trouble lately."
You Xizi nodded, with some hesitation on his expression.
Such hesitation, Urashima has seen too much.
Everyone who asks him for help does so.
"Do not worry."
"I'll do my best to help her."
"How is it going?"
Urashima showed a gentle smile.
He was comforting Yukiko, hoping that Yukiko could tell him what happened in detail and clearly.
Only in this way can he better help the girl named Ashi.
"Ashi seems to be pestered by someone."
"She said it was a relative or something, but I don't feel like it."
"Those people look vicious."
Yukiko said.
"is that so?"
"I see."
"I'll deal with it after we're done running."
Urashima heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought it was something.
It turned out to be like this.
Good-looking girls always encounter troubles like this.
But aren't those guys too bold
Dare to pester the students in the school
Or did Miss Ashi have something to fall into the hands of these bastards
Although he is still a newcomer, Urashima has seen many things after Ryosuke.
Bastards like this generally dare not cross the line.
This is not the so-called 'faith' or 'righteousness' or the like.
It's simply that these bastards can't afford the consequences.
So, once you cross the line.
It definitely happened for a reason.
And no matter what it was, Urashima planned to take care of it.
After all, if a girl like Ah Shi gets entangled with those bastards, it will definitely not end well.
Whole lives are being torn apart, and that's easy.
The most terrifying thing is that life is worse than death.
Seemingly hearing Urashima's assurance, Yukiko was slightly relieved.
Yukiko, who had a smile on her face again, ran forward for about a few hundred meters, and spoke again.
"Urashima, do you have any impression of 'Takako'?"
Yukiko asked.
"Your son?"
"Is it the girl who likes to travel outdoors?"
"You used to run with us before."
Urashima recalled a little, and a very cheerful girl came to mind.
The other party will laugh every time he appears.
From time to time, he would pat him on the shoulder, and then hand over the water bottle in his hand.
Compared with A Shi, Takako comes here often.
They are close friends.
Have eaten there twice.
"of course I remember."
"Didn't we have an appointment with pancakes before?"
"She made me pancakes with her own hands."
Urashima replied like this.
"Um."
"At that time, she was smiling very happily."
“The pancakes are also delicious.”
Yukiko smiled and nodded, as if recalling the situation at that time.
"What's up with her?"
Urashima continued to ask.
"She's fine."
Yukiko replied.
This made Urashima a little embarrassed.
He scratched his head while running.
"I thought something happened to Takako."
Urashima became more and more embarrassed.
With A Shi just now, he thought that something happened to Takako.
As a result, he thought too much.
That's right, there is no such thing as a coincidence.
Will continue to appear next to Yukiko.
"Urashima, you really are, how can such a coincidence appear by my side continuously!"
"I just want to say that Takako wants to invite us to continue eating pancakes."
Yukiko patted Urashima's arm lightly while running side by side with Urashima.
This kind of intimacy made Urashima blush instantly.
"Urashima, do you remember 'Mai'?"
Yukiko continued.
"Sackcloth?"
"Remember, remember."
"A weak little girl in a white dress with a ball head."
"We invited her to run before."
"But after running a few hundred meters, I couldn't run anymore."
"I remember she bought a new dress last week?"
Urashima said.
"yes!"
"I bought it with her at the time."
"However, how do you know, Urashima?"
Yukiko asked curiously.
"The person who saved the number with us, she told me herself at the time—she also said that she is learning to make cakes recently, and she will invite us to eat together when they are done."
Urashima replied naturally.
This kind of naturalness is not fake, but really natural.
In his opinion, such a thing, there is nothing to hide.
Especially for Yukiko, Urashima thought he shouldn't hide it.
However, Urashima, who ran forward, didn't notice Yukiko's gloomy face at all.
Urashima ran two steps forward, only to realize that Yukiko hadn't followed.
Subconsciously, the young police officer turned his head.
"Yukiko, what's wrong?"
Yukiko Urashima looked a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking.
"Urashima, are you a policeman?"
Yukiko asked.
"Yes, rookie policeman."
"Although I'm still a rookie, I will try my best to become an excellent police officer like Officer Ryosuke, and...to become a real man like Mr. Jason."
Urashima felt a little embarrassed.
Becoming a policeman was his childhood dream.
For this reason, Urashima suffered a lot.
However, what Urashima didn't expect was that the police were more miserable than he imagined.
However, he will definitely accept these hardships.
Because, he has a goal to chase!
Ryosuke!
also...
Jason!
"Master Jason?"
Yukiko knew about Ryosuke.
But Jason was an unfamiliar name.
Suddenly, it attracted Yuxiko's attention.
"Your Excellency Jason, I just met him in the past two days."
"A very charming man."
"Not only is he strong, but he is also tall, and he is also very enthusiastic."
When it comes to being strong, Urashima's eyes light up a bit.
Urashima cared a lot about his strong body.
If he didn't want to be stronger, he wouldn't be exercising every day. Moreover, he still focused on anaerobic and supplemented by aerobic, with muscle-building meals every day.
But I don't know why, the effect is always so inconspicuous.
And the gym he goes to keeps closing down too.
Either there was an accident, or the boss ran away with the money.
It really made him unable to exercise with peace of mind.
However, I recently heard that there is a newly opened 'Silver Gym'.
Maybe a good choice.
Urashima thought.
"Urashima, do you want to go to the new gym again?"
Yukiko asked.
"yes."
"The nearest gym is over the top."
"Run as fast as you can."
"I obviously want to exercise with peace of mind."
Urashima sighed in distress.
"Exercising with peace of mind?"
"Those female members are all around."
"Urashima, why are you exercising with peace of mind?"
Yukiko asked.
"Hey, Yukiko, how do you know?"
Urashima looked at Yukiko curiously.
He didn't remember talking about these things with Yukiko.
"Of course I guessed."
"Urashima, you are so gentle, there must be a group of people pestering you."
"Under such a premise, it is normal for them to not concentrate on exercising and have some problems, for example, when they squat, their lumbar spine breaks, when they bench press, their throats are smashed by a barbell, or they are simply headshot by a dumbbell, etc. .”
"It's all normal."
Yukiko said with a smile, her face was very gentle, as if she was explaining the facts.
Urashima felt a little strange, but felt that what Yukiko said made some sense. Coupled with the exhaustion of oxygen and physical strength during running, he didn't think much about it at all, and just put this issue behind him.
"Whew, wheeze."
"Running 5 kilometers in a row is really not easy."
After running, Urashima gasped heavily.
"yes."
"However, if we are with Urashima, such a 5-kilometer journey is not unbearable."
"Shall we challenge 10 kilometers next time?"
Yukiko asked.
"10 kilometers?"
"That's not going to be easy."
"You have to go to school, and I have to go to work. After running 10 kilometers, the rest of the day is not so easy to handle, so...how about we start with 6 kilometers?"
Urashima asked after taking a few breaths.
Although he loves exercising, he also has to think about his day's work.
Especially when chasing criminals, if it is because of weak legs, it will definitely be misunderstood.
"Okay."
"Six kilometers is also a good start."
Yukiko showed that gentle smile.
"Then we'll see you tomorrow?"
Urashima asked after calming down.
"good."
Yukiko nodded.
After that, Urashima returned home as usual.
The running route of the two is a circle. After reaching the end point, they return separately.
This is a tacit understanding formed over a long period of time.
However, today is a little different.
When Urashima walked back, Yukiko silently followed behind.
After walking more than ten meters, Urashima found Yukiko behind him.
"What's wrong, Yukiko?"
Urashima asked curiously.
"Have you ever been surprised, Urashima?"
"When you first started running, there were more than a dozen people doing morning exercises here."
"Why are there just the two of us now?"
Yukiko asked with a smile.
"Maybe everyone has something to do?"
Urashima frowned and answered uncertainly.
"What about Ashi, Takako and Mai?"
"The three of them are my former roommates."
Yukiko continued to ask with a smile.
"Ashi?"
"I'm too bad to keep up with her pace."
"Takako... I prefer outdoor deep travel."
"Sackcloth?"
"She's not well."
Urashima replied that he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Yukiko blinked.
Just staring at Urashima.
Then-
Pooh.
Yukiko smiled.
"Urashima, do you know?"
"I just like your silly look. Otherwise, other people should have found out that something was wrong, and you still choose to believe me."
"Ashi, I originally wanted to use it to make our relationship go further, but I don't need it now, I can't help it, I can't help it anymore-I want you to merge with me."
"We must not distinguish between each other!"
Yukiko continued to smile.
It's just that such a smile became strange to Urashima's eyes, becoming indescribably strange.
Even the surrounding sun has become colder.
There is a sense of gloom.
"you… "
"Takako, I made pancakes."
"I made Mai into a cake."
"Those people around you were also killed by me."
"You belong to me alone."
Yukiko took a deep breath, as if making a declaration, and said—
"I love you!"
