If we go back in time, one can realize that there are many things that connect and will connect with the passage of time, they were always there, although we have not paid attention to them, there are some who already know of their existence. Just not to make you forget them and also because I require it, in this world there are several organizations that try to bring peace and order to the world, being a policeman is one of them, yes! That officer that you see in the corner, is serving for a good cause, literally the fiction that we have of someone doing good in exchange for nothing, we could say that they are the police, although I also do not want to romanticize the police, and many can draw their own conclusions from it, but in principle and for what they work and are, is for the good of all, I guess like everything, anyone started with a noble objective and meet your goals to achieve, the need to protect civilians from the latent dangers that exist, it will have been born from the heart by a very good person who will have been the pioneer of this, who will have been, but at least he was the first to want to serve others, even sacrificing his life for the greater good, maybe he wanted to be a hero in real life, we will not know, and even many think, especially when we are small, that being a policeman is the closest thing to a person can become a hero, also firefighters fall into the category, osea an act of beneficence and for others. But at the end of the day it is still a job, you get paid and that's it, and as everything is transformed with the passing of time, that feeling of the beginning, that pure value of serving and acting for the good of all, has been lost little by little. At present, there are still people with the feeling of responsibility to fulfill for the greater good, and that at the moment of truth, do not hesitate to take risks, after all it is what they like most in their lives, the only flaw is that we are like everyone else, living beings who are prone by nature to see for themselves.
A civilian was walking around the city on this beautiful day, it's a perfect day to do what you love, it's sunny, the weather is perfect, plus it's Spring! What better time of the year when new lives are born! New experiences bloom! Above all, it is the season where for some reason the warm scent is overflowing with passion.
"Yes, there is also Summer, Winter and Autumn, they are beautiful times of the year! I wish I could enjoy all of those! Not for nothing I always prefer to get my own way and not work, it's better to enjoy my youth now that I can, I'm in the full bloom of my youth! I am a young man! 』-『But the times I ended up running away to enjoy those seasons, it didn't end up in the best way I would have liked, the date I agreed with a girl last summer, even though we agreed that our first meeting would be at the beach, She said she was so insistent that she ended up denying me the date at the end of it all, which was strange because I was already on the beach alone with my float in my hand, last fall I was also going to meet another girl! She was a co-worker from another prefecture that we were in communication with! She was a very graceful girl and she was also tender in many ways, the best thing to do in autumn is to visit the forest! Because in the forest, the leaves fall orange! Maple leaves! Check it out please, just imagine! You, with the future mother of your children, relaxing and having a good time with said person, sitting enjoying the scenery, she falls asleep on your shoulder, you see her lips close and !!!!!!!. Of course that didn't happen, I told her my whole plan that in the end I did end up scaring her away. And in Winter! Look, I don't like winter because it's too cold, I'm more of a warmer person, besides I prefer my ------------- to be ------- than ------------- you understand me right? If you must understand me, or are you the opposite team? Whatever, I managed to date a Snow Girl! A Yuki-onna! Yeah! Yes!!! I always wanted a Species wife! My time has come! She had frosted hair and wore mostly white! I made her! I made her pretty, I said it! I didn't have to spoil her again, something had to come from here! Why why why!!! I've waited so many years, this has to be it! I can feel it! I have to learn from my mistakes and make it all work out! But when we were having our date, we went to a coffee shop, when I saw her, she looked just like in her pictures! I said it's her! She looks very mature and I like that! Some people say I'm too intense, but I tell them I can't deny my nature, if I end up going gray I'll break the shackles, if they throw me to the wolves! I'll go back to the pack!!!! If he was amused by the things I was telling him, even I felt it weird because...that someone feels comfortable with me is weird, very weird...I should start to suspect I think...But no matter, the date went on and he asked for a hot coffee, I called his attention because "Hey, hot coffee? not cold? You're a Yuki-onna, like cold? Don't you think so?" After a few laughs he answered pleasantly that he really likes the heat, something that for me ..... "Me too, you're perfect" I really got hooked, we have many things in common! Cold girls, of course I like them, don't compare that I hate the cold of feeling cold with the cold of being cold, do you understand little brother? I like it hot because when I see a girl, she warms me up more than the summer sun! I would do anything for her! And when everything was going well, I asked her how old she was, since in the application where we met, she hid her age, I had my doubts about that, but she looks very adult, I was waiting excited what answer she was going to tell me, but what she told me was "Sorry for hiding it, but I'm actually 16 years old" There was no more to say, what I thought came true, so I got up from the table, left the money for our meal, and told her that "Come back home girl, your parents need you, if it's out of curiosity or to experience new things, stop doing it, you are still a child"』-『Yes, I am also unfamiliar with myself on these occasions, but I had forgotten something very important, the girl felt confused since. ... "But if in your profile, you say you are 18, 2 years difference is not much" She even showed me her phone, my profile where exactly, it said I was 18 years old, where to this of course it became a lot to me, I am older and you younger! In my eyes now you are just a girl more than anything, so as the good man in search of true love, I'm sorry but here it ends, I wish you happiness and success in your whole life, and that the person who ends up with you, make you very happy, ciao *smile*』
And I withdrew, like a gentleman of law I withdrew, it would have been perfect, we had the same tastes, I could feel the click of our love affair that could have been perfect, she could have been the mother of my children, but...but...it didn't turn out to be like that, since I knew the moment you were a child in my eyes, I can't ignore what is right. That happened this winter, it was a hard blow, but looking back it was ok, imagine if it hadn't been me and it would have been someone else, a much more perverse and sicker one, plus these dating apps that were always present today, is the perfect hook up for what you live and fear, the kidnapping of Species, for the bad guys it makes it easy for them, even though we cops have it very present, we can't do something against them, ask for all those apps to close temporarily, of course it would not be convenient at all, either for the bosses or for the users, I must be attentive to this as well. We are living beings after all, we don't see the obvious even if it's in front of our eyes, the only way to be aware is to be told by someone or to live it on our own, I hope that Yuki-onna listened to me that time, I haven't met her again, that's how it should be, little girls should be at home without doing anything dangerous, they shouldn't worry their parents or others, if I had a daughter, I would forbid her to have a modern cell phone! I would give her one with a cover just for communication! And I would stop seeing her as a child! Until the last day of my life!!!!!
If we thought Mia was very overprotective, this guy is even more so, and he's not even a father yet. This guy was walking relaxed through the streets of the city, he was well dressed with his short shirt and shorts, his look reflected confidence, people who passed by him were staring at him, not to contemplate his beauty, but because he was one of those people who attracted attention because his whole being shouted that he wanted to be different.
『Hello baby, I'm here *smile* 』
『That greeting, I remember it! I'm glad you came! Roko Koki! *cheerful* 』
At this he always wants to look gallant in front of his dates, he even arranged his hair with his hand, but when he saw his date who was already at the meeting point, who had her back turned, at the moment they met, this went from a gallant smile to a puzzled and worried one. The girl he had met on the dating app was again the Yuki-onna of that Winter. Who she was very happy for this meeting again, while Koki was shocked.
『But...but!...What are you doing here Mari! Where is my date! You must have gotten confused 』
『No, look! Here's our date agreed between us, you can see it, it's our conversation we had *happy* I'm really glad I ran into you again! I like people who are as warm as the sun *smiles* 』
『Ah...thank you for your words but...You're a minor!!!!! 』
『No, not anymore, last month, I turned 17 *proudly* 』
『You are still a minor!!!! Listen Mari, stop being into this stuff, it's only for responsible adults! You're still a child! Besides there's this whole species kidnapping thing, you don't want to be next, I don't want you to be next! 』
『*happy* I like that, that you care about me even if I'm a stranger, besides them kidnapping me, that won't happen to me, besides I know how to defend myself, when the moment of truth comes as you say, I'm going to show how strong I am *decided* 』
At this Koki was worried and afraid, even though this girl looks very mature, she doesn't really look like a minor, or wait...or do children nowadays look like that at that age? When was the change! Back in my day kids 16, 17 and even 18 years old! They were still in diapers! Although Mari came well groomed and attractive, Koki could only see a little girl in her eyes. He himself was rubbing his eyes because that's why things happen, many people think that nothing is going to happen to them, but surprise, it ends up happening to them and all that confidence disappears in an instant. Mari was very happy moving from side to side with a smile, I'm really surprised that he is really interested in Koki, it's genuine this ....Le would take Koki's hand and they were going to start their date, but he took the reins and would take him by the shoulders to tell him.
『You don't know what will happen, I admire your confidence and strength, but in the face of real danger, where you have to be the bravest, you end up becoming the weakest, it's not a game, it's not fun, that nothing will happen to you, that blind confidence, there is the possibility that something will happen to you, what you should do is avoid it, not incite it, look, I guess this is your last year of high school, think things through, think about your future as you are going to live it, first in this life you need to see yourself, establish very strongly what you want to do in your life, after you have fulfilled all your personal goals, then you can dedicate yourself to find that love you want, but not now, I was just a girl who thinks she knows what she is doing but she doesn't, let's cancel the date, go back home, reassure your parents and do what you have to do, go do your homework, your obligations, go out with your friends of your age! I repeat! Of your age, you seem to have a mania with the ma----*tose* Think well and organize your life, yes? I can help you if you want but nothing more, okay? 』
To this kind of activated a conscience of caring for Koki, she advised in her own way the best to Mari, who she could only understand only one thing, that really this person cares a lot about her, and moreover we know this, many people like those who make themselves difficult and do not show interest, and like every little girl, she is attracted to this.
『All right, I don't want to worry you again, and besides, I can tell you won't stop until I get home *smiles* But since we're looking presentable, do you want to accompany me to do some shopping? That way also if you worry about what I do, you can take care of me in the meantime until I get back home *happy*』
To this Mari turned her back to him and turned to look at him with the best presentation of herself, that kind of thing and the way she expresses herself, it was clear. That anyone, her classmates, friends and so on would have felt something, but Koki only felt responsibility and more than love affair, he felt like her father who must correct his daughter. To this he gave a sigh and out of caution better than regret, he was going to accompany him.
『Okay, but just for a while, then you're going straight home, yes? 』
『Yes! *happy* After all we'll have our date 』
『I just see that I'm taking care of a girl...*sigh* (What was it costing you goddess, to give me a grown woman in my life...)』
At this they were heading to the square so they could start their date, where Mari wanted to go hugging Koki's arm, if he seems to be interested, if only our Roko Koki was acting normal, he literally has everything it takes to attract adult women, but with his juvenile acting he has he only attracts girls like Mari.... To all this, someone seemed to be following him, a small young man with messy hair but with a direct look as if he was looking right into your soul judging you, from what he was alert to what looked like Koki coming home, this one set off and see what would happen.
All this was the first time I go to the central square of the city, I ended up being surprised by this, it is a new place and new experience, plus I'm sure I will find new things. But as I was going, I just wanted to go straight for what I came for, which was to buy the cake that Dhapi is recommending me so much, but to all this, if she likes to make conversation to this girl, that does not displease me, rather I like her, but I feel a rhythm that I'm not used to much, like she tries and it works very well, to be attractive and take the interest of many.
『Look! Some stuffed animals! Don't they look cute on you, this one especially, it looks a lot like you, you can even make it grrrrrrrrr *happy* 』
I was next to a cute wolf stuffed animal, and what's so special about me and a wolf? At this I didn't pay much attention, Dhapi approached the stuffed animal and wanted to do the same as a wolf, sticking out his paw and even roaring like one. I approached it too to play along, if I am a wolf, then you?
『Ohh look! Here we have an elephant! A gorilla! And a stuffed shark too!!!! Come on! Choose what you are! 』
『And that they had the Murcielago stuffed animal, I choose the....!!!!!! What do you mean by that!!! It's a trap! I'm not going to fall for it easily! Is that what young people used to say back in the day!!!! 』
『But that's the first thing that came to my mind, and what's so strange about these 3 animals? 』
I hadn't noticed, but Dhapi was slowly making blue tennis shoes also made of stuffed animal close to the little animals.
『Come to think of it, you can make any living thing float? Even if it weighs tons and is very big? 』
『*proud* That's right, before my abilities, I can float any living thing, no matter how big it is 』- 『Elephants! Gorillas! Sharks! And even a whale! I can float anything I set my mind to!』
『That would be too broken, you must have a limit to it 』 -『And what do you want to do with the little shark and those tennis shoes you brought? *confused*』
『You caught me, I better...I was going to throw them away, I'd better put it on the shelf and.... 』
What he did with the stuffed animals ended up in a way that in the end did end up annoying Dhapi, so slowly, with a slight finger movement, he made the shark lie down on the shelf.
『I won't tell you my limit and they'll never know, in the face of ignorance, it's a great advantage!』
We were with the remaining stuffed animals in hand, it really makes me curious this broad, and again she is not afraid to show her skills in public. The seller, seeing us enjoying her stuffed animals so much, was not going to miss the opportunity to sell us some of them. Of course I only wanted to see, nothing to buy, but Dhapi....
『These stuffed animals are so cute! Except for that one over there』
I was pointing at the shark again, which as I was taught, which is bad to point out, so I was making him put his arm down so as not to displease the seller.
『You sure did a good job, sir! 』
『Eh? Ah yes, some of them are imported, but the ones in the front row, they are my creation 』
『You created them????!!!!!�(ﾟ□ﾟ*川 No wonder they are so pretty, you can tell the clear difference! You do an excellent job *smile* 』
『(-,-) So does the shark then too?』
『No, not that one , that one is still *looks* chistosin! 』 ( ･ὢ･ )
『Thank you Miss *happy* Good! I'll give you a discount, if you buy one stuffed toy, you can buy another one right now at half price! 』
『Seriously?! What a bargain! Did you hear Kurusu-san? They're giving us a discount! 』
I'm just finding out what's going on, what's more, did the owner like the whole conversation? like half off for buying one? Just like that? If that is a bargain, I didn't want to buy it anyway, because this money is for the cake and only for the cake, even if I regret it, I won't have to accept it. I was retreating as I started to think, how strange to be called Kurusu, I'm not used to it yet...But at this I felt something above my head, it was the wolf we had seen at the beginning.
『Take it, this one's for you *smiles* 』.
I was taking the stuffed animal, when I turned to see Dhapi, she also had a stuffed animal? Stuffed toy? It was rather weird, it was like a puppet stuffed animal, the kind that goes in your hand and acts according to what you do, I didn't know what there was about it too, Dhapi had it in her hand and it looks like this wasn't going to end.
『Hey Kurusu-san, what's that on your head, it looks very pretty, it makes me very curious, if you don't answer me quickly, I'm going to have to eat it 』.
He was referring to my head ornament, my Christmas ribbon, although it was fun to see how he talked through his stuffed dinosaur puppet, I told him that it was a gift from a friend, and that I am not embarrassed to wear it.
『You accepted your friend's gift, you are interested in her, right? *crosses*』
!!!! I'm surprised how she knew quickly, that giggle she puts on, she's very expressive in this kind of situation, she saw it easy through me, that I was only telling her that she was a very important friend and nothing more, that's all she just has to know.
『How cute, it looks good on you, it brings out how much they love you at home』. - 『I've tried to give gifts to a person important to me too, but whenever I end up giving him something, that son of his cute little mother ends up not giving use for it!!!! He has a hard time using the things I give him!!!! If you don't want something, it's better to give it to someone who needs it instead of not using it, but that guy is bitter all day long and doesn't want to be interrupted! If you talk to him tenderly, he only responds with a "yes" "ah" "ya" "uhm, ya" What kind of conversation is that! And if it's not that! He always has to be nagging me! Or correcting me on something! I'm just having fun and he has to be the serious one of the 2! It's no fun being the lively one of the duo, without a desired response, my glow and mood can be dulled! Although of course it's a saying but...what's it costing him to be more fun!!!! 』
To this at what point do we move on to complaining about someone? Eh? It seems that when I asked her, she was referring to her caretaker, Dhapi came for the Species Exchange program to the country, she was assigned a caretaker who will be keeping an eye on her all this time, and it seems that the only thing she complains about him, is that he is very upright in what he does, she literally complains that he is low spirited, not fun, even somewhat quiet and dedicated in what he aspires to. It seems that his caregiver is someone who is in High School and....
『He's in high school! In the middle of his junior year! His lividity must be through the roof! Any kid would freak out if one day an Interspecies comes to live in his house, how can he stay calm when he's near me?! It's impossible! Not once! Or maybe a few times... but he is not interested in me! Where is the interest at all! Of course he plays the role of taking care of me, and many times he scolds me because I go out without his permission, even more, when he comes back home he asks what I did, of course if I am at home, and if I am not he comes to look for me and call me to come and get me, but the days he almost always ends up scolding me! He is very serious! Very angry! He wants everything to be perfect and in its place! He is also very distrustful of everyone! He prefers to do things by himself than to get help, God! If I wasn't there for him, what would his life be like! If he doesn't show a little trust to others and continues to be lonely, he will end up being lonely for real! And I don't want that to happen! I want to be with him as long as possible, I want him to really get better...』
Dhapi did talk a lot, but it seems that she was once again venting to her caregiver, the one who is looking out for her and that everything is in order. But I am surprised with the way she said it, I feel that it was little what she could express, like there are many more things she wants to say...She really got sad at that moment, that I wanted to help her to get better, but quickly she changed her mood very fast, since with her stuffed animal.
『But that's none of my business! In the end everything will end well! Everyone gets what you deserve after a great job! He's a pessimistic guy, he just doesn't want to accept it, but my duty as coming at the right time to help him! It's to change his life! Did you see those stories about Species changing the lives of several Humans? That now they can't imagine a life away from them? And that's why they end up staying together and forming a family! It is the dream of every man! And mine too of course, how grateful he must be that someone like me has that gloomy guy very much in mind and is willing to be with him, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept 』
Ehh...haber, let me understand what just happened, the guy who is your caretaker, is someone you don't like because he is protective, serious, not very expressive and as you said pessimistic, but anyway all those things you hate, you ended up liking him that now you want to be together with him and be able to change his life to a better one? But...but....What a mania these kind of people have that they want to be with someone who doesn't appreciate them and they have this desire to change a bad person to a good one. Although I'm not saying that their caregiver is bad, if not I think they would have already taken action but .... What's up seriously, I guess the only way to understand this kind of people, is to be in their shoes, but don't worry my friends, I will never be interested in someone who despises me and wants nothing to do with me, you'll see, I promise you.
『Ice cream! I want ice cream!!! I'm going to get one right now!!! 』
Dhapi quickly went to the ice cream stand there, she had been standing in line, she seems to feel so irritated by all this, the whole time she was standing in line she was pouting and wearing an annoyed expression the whole time. It was only when she finally took a lick of her ice cream that she became happy.
『That's yummy *happy* I feel better already, nothing like a good ice cream to take the edge off, here! I also bought some for you』
To this with her dinosaur stuffed animal that was holding my ice cream cone, she was offering it to me, yes she is a considerate broad, I accepted it and at the first lick of course it was tasty, where it seems that was enough to content Dhapi, and as if she couldn't forget the subject....
『I once invited him for an ice cream』.
!!!!!!! I can imagine, I'm sure she ended up rejecting him or denying him in some way, seriously why do you start remembering something bad now!!!! Wasn't it supposed to be to relax!!!! But at that I saw that on Dhapi's face she became happier, saying.
『And at the first lick she messed up her nose, how clumsy she looked *smiles* 』.
False alamar, how nice, I thought he was again going to complain, but it seems he didn't. After he messed up his nose, Dhapi didn't miss to wipe it with his finger and then to eat it in front of him, this must have made him nervous like many, but he just continued eating his ice cream thinking about the homework he has to do and responsibilities ahead. Literally the "Immutable."
『"Immutable"!!!!! I like that! It fits him perfectly! I've tried many things with him, but nothing works, he doesn't move, he doesn't react, and he just stays still, The Immutable!!!! I like it *smiles* 』
It seems that what I said without thinking, Dhapi ended up liking me, I'm happy for her, I wish I could have such sudden changes of attitude. But to this we would stay to rest for a while on the benches in the Plaza, eat some ice cream while talking to each other, and Dhapi's way of even eating, yeah that's cute.
『There are more things to say, for example seriously, days ago while I was walking around the streets, I ended up meeting a cute little dog! You should have seen it! He was with his owner, but look, I managed to take pictures of him! Do you like dogs? - Do you also follow the trends? Listen to this music! Come on stick to it *smiles* 』 -『In this place they make really good food! When you try their dishes, you're going to want to go again and again! 』 -『Enseriously 15 years old? Then I'm your oldest 』
『How old are you? I guess 19 or 20 』
『I'm 16 *smiles* 』
『....No, you're my oldest by a year? Hey but...you're still a kid....』
『Thanks, I get that a lot, it's better to look less when you actually have more! 』
『Ahh...Ah!!!! I get it...now I do get it, yes! You're 16 years old *smiles* 』
『Yes! I'm 16 years old, and I mean it, long live youth!!!! 』
『Viva!!!!! 』
『Seriously, I'm 16 years old 』
At this I kind of stared at Dhapi, really how do people manage to understand this kind of people, I don't understand her! Aren't you the other thing? Aren't you the one who has more but appears to be less? But somehow this reassures me, because I know a little person who does that and it is not a lie...but he only responds with a... "It is not my fault to keep me so beautiful" It reminds me of Carmis, only that this guy is more daring and I feel that he has no shame in what he does.
To this in another part of the Plaza, Koki was with Mari buying clothes, this one put on many clothes to be able to dress and try on, but of course this came with another intention, to attract and surprise little by little to Koki, so that he sees her with different styles and thus attract his attention. She tried so many clothes, one-piece dresses, summer clothes, traditional clothes, spring clothes, casual clothes, extravagant clothes, but in none of them she was getting the reaction she expected, literally Koki was with her arms crossed all the time and as a Dad said.
『Well』
Literally failing to excite him, at all this he had no other choice, so he put on something daring, a swimsuit for the summer that!!!!! Despite Mari was red-cheeked and embarrassed by this, Koki seeing this.
『Good』-『Although if I were your father, I'd say cover up more』.
Total failure...Mari already put on everything possible, literally gave Koki a personal clothing session, but nothing, nothing was activating him, but to this he would try something new, the mature office worker outfit! To this when she opened up her legs, and with her best pose, she made a revelation of this, when Koki saw it he was a little surprised. This made Mari happy, but....
『All right...yes...quickly put on another set of clothes...』Σ('△｀Ⅲ)
She got the same reaction or even worse, there was no more, defeated and after trying everything on, she did not know what clothes to buy, if nothing interested him, then why all this. To this Koki asked if she was done with everything, where Mari said yes, discouraged, to this as she did not go out because she felt uninterested, but Koki as if by suggestion, there was a garment that he had seen, so he suggested that, which Mari ended up putting it on. In the end it was a simple outfit, it was not flashy, if not a casual one, but Mari did not like this as it made him feel like a simple child, but to this Koki liked it saying.
『That looks good on you too 』.
To this being a different answer, it amused Mari, and in the end anyway, she would end up buying this casual garment, and since she was not delaying to debut it, she had it on and was going with it. She was happy with her purchase, but Koki could only say.
『I thought you would buy something more your style, all the clothes fit you well, but I guess this is the one you liked the most 』.
To this Mari kind of didn't get it, like all the clothes looked good on her? And well yes, that's what she said and that's what she thought, everything she wore looked great on her, or didn't she imply that?
『Wasn't it these clothes that I'm wearing that you like the most? 』
『Huh? Me? How? For me to wear it? No, of course not, it's too childish and boyish, I would wear something more sophisticated! Maybe a terno, a plaid shirt, a cool pants, huh? you bought it because you thought that's what I like the most? But, weren't you buying clothes for yourself? 』
『Clothes for me? Eh? Well, you were supposed to, weren't you? 』
『Because you hesitate, there, for you, of all the clothes you wore, which one did you like the most 』
『The Autumn outfit, it was warm but it was also light and cool, the reddish colors it had I really like it 』
『Yes, that one looked great on you too, but then, if you liked that one, why didn't you buy that one 』.
『Because I thought that the clothes I'm wearing, you liked it 』
『But I repeat, why me? Ah....I don't understand you at all...is it that I'm getting old already or what?』
At this they kept walking, with Mari with her bag in hand while Koki doesn't understand and feels responsible for what happened. To this he kind of didn't hesitate to make amends for his mistake.
『Well! Looks like it was my fault at the end of it all, so to make up for it, the next time we go out, this time I do have to corroborate that you buy what you like, did you hear? What you like! You! Not me! You! you like, got it? 』
He kind of felt responsible for this, so he was agreeing on an upcoming outing to make up for his mistake, even though it has nothing to do with it but well, let's just say he just wants to do it out of a sense of responsibility he has. To this Mari so out of the blue, even though she didn't get what she wanted Koki to like, in the end she got another date, although it's not a date but ok. Mari was happy and accepted gladly, but to this then, she asked him the reason why he showed more interest in this clothes than others, that was because....
『It would look perfect on my daughter! That's how I would dress her up! *proudly* 』
Ahh...no wonder he was struck when he saw her dressed in a casual and ordinary way, it was literally a coincidence that she wore something he would like for his daughter. So all this time he did see her as a child? That would explain everything then, and when she tried to dress mature with the bold office worker clothes, he rightly felt uncomfortable and worried, in his eyes and think...he will have seen that was very wrong. To this since what had to be done was done, Mari was retiring and saying goodbye to Koki, and the latter said to her.
『Hey girl! You have a subway ticket, don't you? Be careful! Don't get robbed! And if a senior needs a seat! Please give him yours! Be cautious and everything !!!! And if possible, inform your parents about what happened! It's better to have evidence!!! 』
She was saying goodbye while Koki was still staying in the square, but to this Mari was only grateful more and all this protection she was getting from Koki, just made her feel safe, that if anything happens to her, this guy is going to come and save her.
『*sigh* At last I'm done, this babysitting thing is hard, young people nowadays are really bold, maybe I should escort her and report everything to her parents myself, yes, that's what I should --------』
『That's enough Koki-nii』
At this a small young man, smaller than Koki, had appeared behind him to stop him, when Koki noticed, Koki was glad for this since.
『Koji! You were in the square? What a coincidence, listen Koji, the date I was going to have with a mature woman, it turned out that in the end a girl showed up, why! why is this happening to me! What did I do! 』
『You exaggerate Koki-nii, besides I was keeping an eye on everything, and seriously I can't believe that since last year you are looking for a partner like crazy, my brother who was always looking for opportunity to be lazy and miss work, now he is looking to make a family? to be a father? It's a change that I still can't digest 』
『Koji, I made a mistake, I've relaxed all this time believing to be young forever, you wake up without any responsibility, that's for everyday 』
『We're policemen, we have a lot of work, the only day off we have are Sundays, fortunately』
『We wake up with no responsibilities to have, and when you realize it, you look at yourself in the mirror, comb your hair, get groomed and...』
『Here it goes again...』
『A gray hair!!! A gray hair in the comb!!!! How's that!!! And when I started to review how much time passed, what year we are and what year I was born...I'm past 30....』
『You're thirty ---------------------』
『I'm 18 years old!!!! But yes! I'm already doing sir really, the sense of responsibility that I've obviated so much is calling me...』
『I wouldn't say it like that...rather...eh? Although yes...』
『The sense of being a father is calling me, I want...to start a family before it's too late, then I'll be 40, and then 50, 60 and I'll be an old man, with no one to love me or be by my side, no children or grandchildren, it's something I abhor as a young man, but now...or wish for with all my might...I want a life partner 』
It's like that gray hair would have been that interrupter that he should continue to the next step, at his age he should even have children by now plus or minus 10 years old. But...he's still here, being an eternal 18 year old, and the way he was before and the way he is now, it's not helping him to achieve that goal.
『If I don't get a partner before I'm 40...it's all over...』
『But how exaggerated, come on Koki-nii, if you're going to get what you want, besides that thought you have that the older you get, you're not going to get a partner? Everything has its time and the person chosen, it's just not your turn now, ok? I'm just telling you to ignore that fact, don't do anything and it will pass by itself, in the meantime you can keep slacking off .... working better, yes? Koki-nii? 』
『Do nothing? Me do nothing? Let it all come by itself? I'm sorry Koji but I don't think so, if I don't do it myself to accomplish my goals, no one will do it, no one will gift me what I want so much, I taught you as your Big Brother that if you want to get what you want, you yourself must strive for it, and it's because that very thing...』
『Here it goes again...』
『If I don't do it!!!! No one will do it!!!! I'm going to get and work for what I want so much!!!!! 』
He wasn't ashamed to say it and shouting with his hand outstretched towards the sunlight shining on him. To this as Koji was already very used to. And of course it's better who understands his big brother.
『Yes Koki-nii, if I don't even make the effort, I won't get or deserve anything, I understand that, but you're confusing what we can get and what we can't get. We work to get money, all right, but to make an effort to get love, that is complicated and even impossible, not by dedicating hours and effort to something intangible and sentimental as love is, I will be sure to get it, if not, how easy it would be to get it, it would be like working for money that is established and safe, but working to get love? You are crazy Koki-nii, you can't get it, you only receive it from whoever is willing to give it, you don't work for it, you build it without even having it in mind, it just happens and that's it, it's so unexpected, to get it with all your strength, Koki-nii. You're forcing yourself for nothing 』
Koji knows this very well, he is the most sensible and the most correct in this kind of situation, he sees the world like you or me, he is the opposite of his older brother Koki, literally everything he did is because of the opportunity he gave himself and wanted to do, he didn't force himself, he made an effort, the fact that his older brother Koki inspired him to join the police force, is something that had its moment and now he does what he has to do and that's it, we could even say that he does not have strong aspirations like Koki, but anyway if he has reasons to make an effort, we all do, everything happens in its due time, waiting without doing anything is not bad, but Koki. ..
『You're wrong Koji...everything can be achieved if you make an effort...even something unpredictable and random like love, you can get what you're looking for. Until a long time ago I had few aspirations, but the few I got I worked hard to get it, and now I am more aware, love if you work for it! I show the person that I care! Trust is hard work! I have become a cop because of the love I have for everyone! I want everyone to live with love and not be destroyed by nothing!!!! 』
To this he had something also present, more the personal than anything, but before his thinking that all work done with love should be valued, ignore that....Koji was also present that day, as it was obvious. The brothers Roko Koki and Roko Koji, were the first to witness what happened in the Nekomata Family home, when they saw this for the first time, Koji was shocked, he felt like vomiting and his knees were giving out, but Koki...that they destroyed the love of this home. ...made him understand that any work, affection, effort and love, can be destroyed at any time, he did not stop crying lamenting the fact that his work and effort that he did, did not do anything to stop this, he did not even realize it....
『Koki-nii, would you like some ice cream? To calm my nerves 』
『Yes, thank you Koji, you're always so considerate 』
To this with an ice cream in hand, they enjoyed the sweet while they tried not to forget that, but now if before they were looking for pretense to be lazy, now more than anything if they take it as never seriously their work.
While finally M already had the cake that she managed to buy, Dhapi was also happy satisfied by the recommendation she gave, to this they were at the exit of the square, now it only remained to wait for Mia to appear, but in that they were waiting, Dhapi was also looking forward to meet M's mother.
『It's my adoptive mother, I'm adopted 』
『I already guessed it, but how nice, that you managed to have a family and....』
At this Dhapi managed to see how a lady with crystallized black hair, was being dragged and forcibly taken to an alley by some thugs, this he couldn't ignore since...He would quickly go to be able to stop it, and he is surprised by this since....
『(Hijackers? no...none would act that way in public, they must be simple people of the bad life)』.
At this Dhapi would manage to stop them by going into the alley, he managed to see how they were bullying the girl, who was Mari, and how someone who came to help her was going to stop this.
『Hey! You guys! Stop it!!!------』
『Dhapi-chan...sorry....』
To this without her noticing someone had appeared behind her, it was the Chameleon that was quickly making her sleep with the handkerchief dipped in chloroform, quickly before this action, the first thing she did was to activate her floating ability only to the Chameleon, but this one was still with it, where quickly Dhapi would try to kick all over her waist, but this one with the help of its tail would stop it, it would propel itself with this one and POMM!!!! Dhapi's own weight would slam her to the ground, who could not do anything about it, they quickly put more chloroform with the handkerchief to put her to sleep. Where the Chameleon was insecure with this since....
『I'm really doing it...』
『Hey you guys, what do you think you're doing?』
At this appeared M in the alley also with cake in hands but, seeing the girls wanting to be assaulted and kidnapped. He kind of put his box of cake on the ground and...Like waiting for this opportunity, now if he would show what he is capable of doing.
『Now if I'm going to hit you back you were going to hit me 』.
