A day has passed.

Ritsuko spends the night in a room in the basement of her beloved vomit and eats breakfast with Tozato.

Is Menu living alone?

During the meal, Ryoko asks.Ryoko tells me that her parents were murdered.

“Yes, I recently lived in a room at the homicide club.Before that, I was alone at my parents' house.I don't have any brothers. "

Ritsuko answers without a stomach.

"I won't go back when it's gone, but the beautiful past is in my memories..."

Ritsuko looked up at the void with a dreamy look and muttered.

"You're a poet, aren't you?"

The toothbrush smiles.

"It's the lyrics to the new Tsukunami Cars song.When I heard this, I cried a bit.My family and I... we had a good time. "

"Oh, I'm sorry." Let's change the subject. "

Ryoko tended to fall down, so Tozato made a deliberate panicked voice.

"This is the third interview with the Snowflake Society today."

Togari projects a holographic display and opens a video site with scheduled snowflake society interviews.

"This time, it will be released on the street, right?" I was a little surprised. "

Ryoko said when she saw the display.

"From noon, right?" Do you want to watch it together? "

Yes.

Said Tozato, who had finished breakfast first, nodded tinyly while Riko, who was still eating, ate.



Having left Poor Noppo, Tozato and Ryoko visited one of the two major shopping districts in the immigrant cave, the North Namida Shopping District.

“It's like downtown in the city, it's crowded.Also, there is a department store in the immigration hole.Oh, there's a movie theater, too. "

Surprisingly, Ryoko looks over the bustling streets lined with countless department stores.

“It's a city of a million people, so there is.However, the price is very low. ”

It refers to the special sale Villa in which Tozato is placed in the store.

"Wow, that's true. It's very cheap, but is this going to make the store money?”

"I'm not sure about teasing, but I've heard that it's made profitable by selling at a low price.It's unique to immigrant holes, isn't it? "

As a matter of fact, Tozato always had the same questions as Ryoko.I don't really understand why prices are unusually low in immigrant holes while being in the same country.However, because it is the cheapest, immigrants will have no difficulty in clothes, food and shelter.Many people who do not know the actual situation of immigrant holes have the image of immigrants living in poverty with a minimum wage, but the reality is not so tragic.

"There are also people who are not immigrants."I was a little worried that we might float. ”

Ryoko says that, of course, there are many immigrants in the population ratio, but the Japanese are also mixed in the crowd.

"From the beginning, I could see a certain amount of pure Japanese people, but recently, there have been a lot more entrances and exits.Oops, this might be discriminatory.Well, that was thanks to tea time on the battlefield.You must have learned that even in the cheapest immigrant holes, there is a way to make money by doing business well.It is above all this population. And the immigrant caves themselves are getting cleaner than before. ”

That tendency itself is a welcome part of Tozato, but that doesn't mean that tea time on the battlefield can be recognized.At least they're telling us to leave unilaterally.

"Um... I'm going to say something biased, but it's okay to shop here, right?"

Ritsuko is frightened.

"Immigrant grottoes are the cheapest, but there are no cheap goods or crude products.This shopping district sells decent things.Poor Noppo's basement is full of suspicious and dangerous things, such as illegal drugs, illegal dream bands, stolen goods, and pirated goods.However, there is often a mix of cheap and rare excavations underneath Poor Noppo, so there is demand there. ”

Toothpick explains.

“Do you have anything you want?”

"I want to see if there are any tools available for creative activity."

Dialogue that Ryoko uttered - Creative activity refers to murder.But this was unexpected.Tozori had used various tools to kill people in various ways, but Ryoko had never used tools until now, and had photographed the photos she had killed and killed with her ability.

"I haven't used any tools until now, but if I want to do creative activities with Nono-san, I want to match him."

To make matters worse, Ryoko also wanted to find those tools together with Tozato and enjoy shopping.

Alright, let's go around.

After that, for a while, they went around grocery stores, household goods stores, and tool stores to find items that could be used for creative activities.

I noticed that it was noon.

Oh, I was shopping, and time was running out.

It was the first time that Ryoko felt that the flow of time was so fast.

Let's have lunch.

Tozari says that and looks for a restaurant.

It stops in front of "Getmeat The Barbarian Female", a yakiniku chain that has been expanding globally in the past few years.

"Is it okay here?" Is there anything you don't like about meat? "

No, I'm fine with the meat.

Confirming that the toothpick was not only eating, but also handling - was an extra thought.Of course, I won't say it out loud.

I was scared yesterday.

Huh?

Ritsuko's face turned strange at the remark of Tozato, who had spoken to her when she took her seat.

“It's a battle in front of the church.It was the first time in my life that I felt serious fear over there.Menu got shot in the head and collapsed.... "

The fear of losing someone is an experience that Tozato was born to experience for the first time.I felt more scared than I faced death.No, it's a different kind of fear.

"Um... um... I'm so sorry..."

Ritsuko apologizes when she remembers when she was shot.I've been trained in combat, and I've learned how to dodge shots.Nevertheless, I am ashamed of having been taken lightly, and I am sorry for that.

“There's nothing for Menu to apologize for.I have a fault for getting involved. "

"No, I wanted to follow Mr. Nono, so I'm worse."

"Then let's keep each other in mind."Oops, that's more time to broadcast. ”

Togiri projects a holographic display.It was an interview with the Snowflake Society.

“It's not a live stream, is it?”

Ryoko says surprisingly.

"Sounds like it." Ahhhh, finally the boss Masuma-kun is out. "

“Do you know anyone?”

Well, a little bit.

Asked by Ryoko, Tozato shrugs his shoulders.The Snowflake Society has been a good business partner for some time now.At the time of the transaction, Tozato and Masuma were negotiating face-to-face.

"Hmm... I have the impression that you're a child who doesn't wear clothes on his teeth."Somehow... is it a child who looks down on people?I feel that way during the festival of words. ”

Looking at the horses talking in the screen, Ryoko's impression was not very good.

"From my point of view, adults are dirty and disgusting.That's why we created an organization that only gathered children.And yet, adults said it was terrible. "

"Is the adult dirty and creepy?At this age, there may be some cases in particular where they look like that. ”

Listening to Zheng Ma's argument, Tozato exhales with a small breath.In fact, in his teens, Tozato had a strong bad impression of adults just like Masamori.

"Even though you're younger than me, I think this eloquence is amazing.Ah, I feel a bit angry right now... "

While Ryoko was talking, Masamori was staring at the interviewer in the screen.

"I'm very sensitive to being thought of and scolded by adults, even though I'm dirty or terrible."

Toothpick, to say the least bit of irony.

It's not unusual for a teenager to be the boss of an organization in the back streets, but Masuma-kun felt that it was a particularly flimsy material.

After watching the third interview of the Snowflake Society, Tozato gives his thoughts.

"I felt like I was in trouble, but is there someone who would follow me even if they were the leader..."

Riko was only a bitter critic of Masuma. The expression is also steep.

"I'm sorry... I feel sick again..."I don't think I can do this...... anyway..... "

(Is that all you got?)

Looking at Ritsuko, who looked pale and gave out a dark aura, I was surprised.

"I'm sorry for being such a troublesome woman..."

“No, I don't think so.”

I don't even think of Ritsuko as a hassle.However, I was surprised and sympathized with the tooth.And I think we need to get along carefully.

"Dangerous."

The toothpick supports the ryoko who is about to fall from the chair.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

The fallen ryoko was supported by the toothbrush, and his body struck the bad-looking customer of Gara who was passing by the book. The customer raised a grumpy voice and was amazed.

"This immigrant hole is so dizzy, and I'm taking JK with me. What kind of people are these?"

Furthermore, the customer behind him shouted with a suspicious expression.It attracts the attention of the store. Both of them are not Japanese.Tattoos and piercings.I could see at first sight that I was not a resident of the main street.

I'm sorry.

When he smiled at the two bad customers, Tozato took Ritsuko's body back to her seat and stood up.

"Grrrrr!?"

Oh, my God!

In the early work of the lightning stone fire, Tozato knocks out the two thugs.It attracts the attention of customers and shop assistants in the store.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

After glancing at the two fallen cocksuckers, Ryoko lowered her head towards the toothpick.

"No, but this prick... is Rojas's big, sticky manticore."I'll put in a protest later. ”

"You don't have to do that..."if it gets unreasonable..... "

“No, we should be clear about this.Besides, Rojas is a young man, but he's a monotonous man, so if you tell him the truth, he'll understand. ”

It was Joshi who feared that it might be a strange situation because of him, but Tozori showed a frown that he didn't pay attention to.

"Sometimes I get confused, I'm sure it's a proxy."Both my father and my mother had such a problem.I hated it and couldn't help it... "

Ryoko says with a bitter expression.

"Do you have all your parents? But... Mr. Menu is Mr. Menu.Oh... I'm sorry. Say something I don't understand.I couldn't think of a clever dialogue..... "

The toothpick smiled bitterly.Whether the parents were stupid or not, her daughter, Riko, was by no means stupid - that was the line that came out.

"I understand..."

But it was properly passed on to Ritsuko.I was glad that Tozato thought of herself and strongly appealed that she was different from her parents.



After lunch, Tozato and Ryoko went to the Namida shopping district, and even visited the homeless city a little before sitting on a bench in the river.The time was around 3 pm.

“It's been a long, warm, fluffy day.”

Ryoko glances at the lowered sun in a daze, and Ryoko speaks such a dialogue.

"It's an interesting expression, isn't it? What if I say something similar?”

Huh? I'd be very happy if Nono-san was the same.

Riko answers the toothpicks with a mischievous laugh.

"If a girl like Menu were to say, anyway, don't you think it would be a little tough if I told her that I was a good-aged man?"

That's the way to go.

Riko replied with a smile as she checked her teeth with a bitter smile.
