Chapter 18 Complaining to each other!

Shibuya.

In a remote street.

The clock pointed to 11:30 midnight, and the street was filled with quiet loneliness.

At this moment, the glow of the neon lights cast a faint shadow, outlining a winding path.

The remote street seemed to be a corner forgotten by time, desolate and quiet.

In the silent atmosphere, only the occasional breeze blew through the empty street and blew up the vertical material bags on the ground.

Mizuno Maki's expression was still so cold, slowly pushing the old bicycle in the dark street.

Next to the trash can, the stray dog ​​that was eating kitchen waste noticed the arrival of people, as if to protect the territory, and barked at Mizuno Maki frantically.

"Woof woof woof!"

Mizuno Maki seemed to be frightened, and there was a trace of fear in her previously indifferent eyes.

But there was only one way home, she could only suppress her fear, use the bicycle to block in front of herself, and slowly move against the wall on one side.

Her fingers tightly grasped the schoolbag. If the stray dog ​​approached, she would definitely use it to protect herself.

Fortunately, the stray dog ​​saw that Mizuno Maki had no intention of approaching, so it just barked a few times and continued to eat the food on the ground.

Mizuno Maki was relieved immediately, but she was still a little worried that the stray dog ​​would approach, so she quickened her pace and pushed the broken bicycle quickly through the dark street.

After a while.

She walked to an old apartment.

The street lights near the apartment were broken at some point, sometimes emitting light and sometimes pitch black.

Mizuno Maki took out her mobile phone from her pocket familiarly, intending to use the flashlight function to illuminate the surroundings.

It was a pity that her mobile phone model was three years old, and even if she didn't use it much, the battery of the mobile phone could hardly support it from morning to now.

Without any power on the mobile phone, no matter how many times she pressed the power button, there was no response.

"I forgot to charge it when I was working"

Mizuno Maki put the mobile phone back in her pocket and could only put the bicycle back to the bicycle parking place under the apartment in the dark.

As the street lights flickered from time to time, she looked down at the broken chain of the bicycle, as if she had gotten used to bad luck, her beautiful eyes were calm, and her expression was still so cold.

She knew she had to find a time to go to the repair shop to fix the bike.

Otherwise, she would have to take the tram all the time, which would cost a lot of money.

Because the repair shop was closed too early in the morning when she went to school, and she had to work near the school after get off work, and she was afraid that the repair shop would have closed when she came back.

Then she could only wait until the weekend to find a repair shop to fix the bike.

Under the flickering lights, Mizuno Maki slowly walked to the room next to the stairs on the second floor of the apartment, took out the key and familiarly pushed open the door of her house.

She didn't say the words about going home, and even if she did, no one would respond.

Her right hand gently touched the light button next to the door.

The fluorescent light on the ceiling immediately illuminated the entire room.

What came into view was a small room of three square meters, which was small but had everything.

It had everything it should have.

Refrigerator, kitchen, bathroom, bed.

However, the bathroom was very small, and there was only a waterproof cloth blocking it from the shower room.

Mizuno Maki's room was very clean.

In addition to the necessary daily necessities and school supplies, there was basically no other extra things.

Mizuno Maki turned back to close the door, and at the same time put the anti-theft chain on the door lock. After seeing that everything was done, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she put her schoolbag aside and sat at the table to finish the ramen sent by the foreman.

Feeling the delicious taste in her mouth that she had not tasted for a long time, Mizuno Maki's expression was a little complicated.

After eating and drinking.

She slowly began to take off her school uniform, pantyhose and mismatched underwear, revealing her flawless body, and then walked into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

Mizuno Maki looked down at the bathtub, pondered for a while, and decided not to take a bath, which would save some water bills.

Holding the shower head to the ground, she gently pushed the faucet.

Cold water gushed out from it, but after a few seconds, the cold water gradually turned into warm water.

After feeling the water getting hot, Mizuno Maki started to use the shower head on herself.

Only when she took a hot bath could she feel a moment of relaxation.

After taking a bath.

She put on her pajamas, walked back to the room, picked up her schoolbag, and took out the 5,000 yen she earned from working today.

Then she walked to the bed, flipped open the cute doll poster, revealing the small secret compartment inside, and took out the iron box inside.

The iron box contained her living expenses, passbooks with no amount, and bank cards.

After opening the iron box.

Mizuno Maki counted the 50,000 yen in it, and found that not a penny was missing, so she felt relieved.

Then she put 3,000 of the 5,000 yen in her hand, and planned to keep the remaining 2,000 for herself, 1,000 to recharge the watermelon card (transportation card) that she had not used for a long time, and the other 1,000 was kept on her for backup.

Then she put the iron box back into the secret compartment and covered it with the poster again.

After finishing all this, Mizuno Maki did not go to bed immediately, but took out the lessons she had learned today from her schoolbag and sat at the table to review them carefully.

If her grades drop, she will not get the scholarship.

In order to avoid this, she must study very hard.

It was almost half past twelve.

Mizuno Maki was already a little tired, and she closed the book.

Turn off the light and put the dead phone on the bed to charge.

Then she fell into a deep sleep.

Six o'clock in the morning.

The alarm clock rang as expected.

Mizuno Maki sat up from the bed reluctantly, her hair messy.

She covered her still sleepy head and felt that her eyelids were a little hard to open.

"I have to get up and cook quickly."

She shook her head, woke up a little, got out of bed, and quickly changed into her school uniform.

She remembered that there was a physical education class today, so she prepared her gymnastics clothes in advance and put them in her backpack.

Then she walked to the small kitchen, put on an apron, and started to make breakfast and lunch.

After a while, she made a simple lunch box with basically vegetarian dishes and no meat.

It was still a little early.

She studied at the table for a while.

Around 7:30.

Mizuno Maki picked up her schoolbag, walked out of the door, and checked that the room was locked.

She walked slowly on the street, heading for Shibuya subway station.

After a while.

She entered the subway station.

Suddenly, Mizuno Maki noticed a familiar figure in front of her.

That person was Kamishiro Hakufu.

He was also walking slowly in front of the subway passage, intending to go to the platform to wait for the train.

But Mizuno Maki did not intend to approach and talk, just followed silently behind.

At this time.

She noticed that there was also a student from the private Shujin School next to Kamishiro Hakufu.

The girl had short hair and looked very cute and beautiful, and her appearance was no worse than hers.

Mizuno Maki noticed that the distance between the two was a little big, as if they didn't know each other?

But even if they knew each other, it had nothing to do with her.

She didn't care.

Anyway, Kamishiro-kun and herself were just classmates.

At this time, Mizuno Maki noticed that Kamishiro Hakufu seemed to have said something, and the girl next to him suddenly became furious and made a face at him.

Kamishiro Hakufu was also not shy, and without turning his head, he gave her a weak thumbs-down gesture.

Seeing this, Mizuno Maki fell into silence, with a ripple in her beautiful eyes. She should not have cared.
