At seven o'clock in the evening, Chiba followed the flow of people and walked slowly into Tokyo Tower, which was crowded more than usual because of the Tanabata festival that was being held here today.

Judging by the personality that Kosuke Mizutani has shown, it is unlikely that he will commit suicide in Tokyo Tower while there are still people - that would cause trouble to others, and it is almost the last thing he wants to see for Kosuke Mizutani's character. So from now until the end of the Tanabata event and the closure of the museum, Kosuke Mizutani will at most wander around the Tokyo Tower, waiting for the most sacred moment for him.

There are less than four hours left, as long as you search the special observatory at the top and the large observatory in the middle, and make sure that Kosuke Mizutani didn't arrive early, Chiba can go down to the door again and squat at Kosuke Mizutani by himself.

But at this moment, Chiba received a call - from Gray Plains.

"Hello?" Qian Yu asked. "What's wrong?"

"Where are you now?" Gray Yuan asked directly.

"Now?" Qian Yu thought about it, but decided to tell the truth. "Tokyo Tower, what's wrong?"

"Is it to catch the murderer?" Gray Plains asked.

"Yes," Chiba said halfway through when a question suddenly came to mind. "Wait a minute, why did you ask this question all of a sudden?"

"Because I'm watching TV," said Gray Yuanai, sitting in front of the TV at home, watching the TV. "The cameraman seemed to have caught you walking into Tokyo Tower, so that's why I asked where you were."

"Videographer?" Qian Yu frowned. "Outside Tokyo Tower?"

That's not good, leaving evidence that I'm here...... In the future, if something happens, it may spread to yourself......

"yes," Gray Yuan nodded. "The camera crew of Nippon TV Station, the host's sister is wearing a kimono and is broadcasting live at the door."

"Forehead...... "Chiba found a gap in the crowd and glanced outside the Tokyo Tower Gate, and sure enough, he saw a woman in a kimono with a natural roll talking about these things in front of a photographer. Ah, sure enough, it looks like I'm going to have to keep a low profile. ”

"......," came a soft sigh from the receiver of the phone. Forget it, pay attention to safety, there may be weapons on the other side anyway. ”

"Hmm," Qian Yu curled the corners of her mouth after being slightly stunned. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

……

Three minutes later, at the Great Observatory, Chiba stood quietly outside the elevator.

[Downstairs, there is a reporter from the Daily Sale TV station filming the ground floor, I can't go back, otherwise I may be photographed again.] - Chiba Tachibana

[Just look at the big lookout, Kosuke Mizutani will most likely come to the big lookout where you are or the special lookout I'm at right now.] —Kiyoshi Matsumoto

[You're going to be out of this role soon, right?] I'm going to throw all the pots on the person "Matsumoto Kiyocho", so please be sure to take all the blame for this identity before disappearing. - Chiba Tachibana

[The reason why I didn't kill that guy was to let him top the cylinder, rest assured. —Kiyoshi Matsumoto

"Okay." Qianyu sent this text message with the number simulated by the auxiliary unit (so it is possible to send a text message with a non-existent number, because this set of numbers is made up by Qianyu with the auxiliary unit), and then looked at the tourists in front of him who were happily communicating or playing in the large observation deck.

He probably hasn't been here yet, or isn't he here? For someone like him who is so emotional and has experienced such pain, these heartwarming scenes here can only make him feel painful.

"Huh?" At this moment, the exclamation belonging to the girl came. "Your name is ...... Chiba Tachibana, right? ”

“？” Chiba was stunned and looked in the direction where the voice came from - a pink-haired kimono girl was standing next to the boy who was also wearing a kimono, looking at Chiba.

Yuma Okazaki? Why is she here?

"Sister, why are you and Brother Takeda here?" Chiba blinked and asked Yuma Okazaki.

"Huh?" A flash of crimson flashed across Yuma Okazaki's face. "That, that...... We...... Yes! We're here to see the stars! Look, how beautiful the starry sky is outside—"

Her hand stopped as it swept across the sky, which was completely covered by dense clouds and devoid of a single starlight. "Ah......" The crimson on his face was even worse.

The sky is completely obscured by clouds, and there are no stars at all from here, so where did you see the beautiful starry sky, sister......

"I originally wanted to see the stars, but it turned out that there were a lot of clouds today," Takeda hurriedly excused himself. "So we talked about it and decided to enjoy the view."

Wait a minute, if the two of them are here, will they-

"Are Sister Hotaru and Brother Fujiwara here?" Qian Yu asked.

"Hotaru is right here," Yuma replied. "But Fujiwara-san seems to have something to do today—or Hotaru probably wouldn't have come with me—" She paused abruptly as she said this.

“？” Qian Yu was slightly stunned, and then realized that her gaze did not seem to fall on her.

"Whew-" Just as Qian Yu was about to turn around to see if there was anyone behind him, a soft, warm air flow suddenly hit his ears.

"Ahh Startled, Qian Yu hurriedly moved a few steps to the other side, and then looked at the person who was blowing into his ear just now.

Hotaru looked at him with a smile on the look of a little devil who had succeeded in her prank.

"How did you get here?" Hotaru asked after Chiba regained her composure. "Coming with your little girlfriend?"

"I'm here to buy a gacha," said Chiha. "I accidentally broke a gacha that Gray Hara bought here the other day, so I wanted to come and buy some more for her. When I got here, I found that the Tanabata Festival was going on, so I came up to take a look. ”

"I see," Hotaru walked up to Chiba and touched his head. "Would you like to walk around here with your sister? My sister isn't familiar with this place. ”

"Huh?" Qian Yu blinked, and then said while shaking his head. "That...... I'm not familiar with this place either, and sister, you still have to accompany Sister Yuzhen, don't you? ”

"Hmm-" Hotaru made a thoughtful expression. "It seems to be right...... Woo - looks like you really can't take your sister here. ”

"That ......" Chiba already felt a little tired of dealing with Hotaru's attack, so she retreated decisively. Well, then I won't bother my brothers and sisters to come out and play...... I'll withdraw first! ”

"Okay~" Hotaru smiled and waved to Chiha. "Have a great time!"

————————

emmmm, the next paragraph is the final collision of the entire theatrical version, because I have buried the relationship of foreshadowing, and the whole plot will be far more complicated than the original book - both in terms of the number of participants and the overall process. According to the old rules, the perspective of the female protagonist and supporting characters used to support part of the plot will be released after the male protagonist completes this main plot, so if there is something you don't understand, don't be impatient.
