MTL - Officer Matsuda Wants To Save Himself-Chapter 78
When he heard the apology that came for no reason, Matsuda Jinhei paused. However, after this slight reaction, the curly-haired youth with messy hair just got up still sat beside the bed and continued to half hug this obviously wrong friend to comfort him.
It's not that Matsuda Jinhei didn't know the way to ease his breathing, but he didn't have any suitable props at hand, so he could only try his best to appease Hagihara Kenji first. His hand was like smoothing a cat's fur, trying to smooth the air down Hagihara Kenji's back according to the rhythm.
The curly-haired officer's sharp eyes glanced at his friend's room, trying to find an opportunity to make him emotionally unstable.
After all, Matsuda Jinhei couldn't think of anything that Hagihara Kenji needed to apologize to, or what happened at work yesterday, Hagi now treats him as another person?
The profession of police is prone to psychological problems. A police officer with a stronger sense of justice is also prone to take the victim as his responsibility and overwhelm himself.
Hagihara Kenji has never shown such a situation, but maybe the long-term pressure has led to the status quo. Matsuda Jinping's frightened and sober brain turned a little blankly, and he didn't dare to say anything to stimulate his friends.
"Hagi? What happened?" Matsuda Jinpei only asked when he felt almost finished.
However, Hagihara Kenji still kept his original movements and shook his head, and his hairy head rubbed against his neck, causing a little itchiness. But compared to the tears that wet the fabric on his shoulders, this feeling can be easily ignored.
Hagihara Kenji obviously wanted to say something, but his mouth seemed to betray him, he could only open and close it twice, and there was no sound at all from his throat.
But even so, Hagihara Kenji still held on to him.
Matsuda Jinping felt that according to this situation, there must be a problem with today's attendance, so he tentatively said, "Can you let go first? It's almost eight o'clock. I'll go and call Officer Takahashi?"
In the end, this sentence was not only useless, Matsuda Jinhei even felt that Hagihara Kenji hugged him even tighter. Just like a child, Hagihara Kenji's arms wrapped tightly around Matsuda Jinping's waist, and Matsuda Jinping felt breathless with such force.
"Forget it." Matsuda Jinpei gave up. He let his friend's act of seeking a sense of security go, sighed, and patted Hagihara Kenji's head twice with his free hand: "Don't worry, I won't leave. ."
Matsuda Jinping used his heel to hook the mobile phone that fell on the bed not too far away from him. He didn't bring out his own mobile phone at all. Now Hagihara Kenji won't let him go, and can only borrow the other party's mobile phone to contact Police Officer Takahashi.
Matsuda Jinping opened the phone and noticed at first glance that the battery at the top was almost exhausted, and the next second, he saw the interface at the moment and the text on it.
[I can avenge you right away. The agreement that day was agreed. 】
…Um? Matsuda Jinping's expression was blank for a moment, he seemed to suddenly realize something, flipped the text message interface up, and watched a line of familiar words appear in front of him—the most important thing was that time.
The last text message was three years ago on November 7th.
So Matsuda Jinhei instantly understood what happened to Hagihara Kenji.
Matsuda Jinping suddenly felt dry in his throat and could not make any sound.
He glanced at the fluffy head, leaned against the edge of the bed and raised his head, feeling helpless in his heart - just because he guessed it would be like this, he didn't want Hagihara Kenji to know.
In fact, this is meaningless, Matsuda Jinhei thinks so.
In the light novels and comics set by rebirth, there is always a rebuttal, that is, after the protagonist is reborn, many things that have happened will be changed. Especially in the face of people who were not friends before, it is natural to embrace the trust and understanding that will only appear in the future. This is unfair to the other party.
Of course, it is also unfair for the protagonist that the protagonist alone has the memory of getting along with them.
But he and Hagihara Kenji can't be counted like that. Because even if Hagihara Kenji gets the memories of his previous life, it will only take less than half a year.
And in that half year, he also experienced it once in his life. It even took a full six years longer than the last time, and the calculation could continue.
Hagihara Kenji passed away too early, and the later Matsuda Jinping can only miss it. This is a one-sided confession, Matsuda Jinhei never thought of letting Hagihara Kenji get this too heavy emotion.
Matsuda Jinhei has never concealed Kenji Hagihara, whether it was at the beginning or now. It doesn't matter if Hagihara Kenji didn't guess it, if he guessed it, it's okay to keep that perception.
Whether it was in the previous life or this life, Hagihara Kenji did not actually participate in that period of time, so this pressure is unfair to this guy.
Matsuda Jinhei took his cell phone that was about to run out of power, found Officer Takahashi's note in the address book, and called.
It's almost eight o'clock now, and it's not too late to rush there, but he doesn't worry about Kenji Hagihara alone.
The bell rang for about ten seconds before the phone was connected on the other side, and Officer Takahashi sounded a somewhat puzzled voice: [Hagihara? 】
"It's me, Matsuda." Matsuda Jinping said calmly, "Hagihara's brain burned out. I sent him to the hospital, so please reschedule your attendance today."
As a result, after saying this sentence, the voice on the other side just started, and the phone was directly turned off because of no power.
Matsuda Jinping looked at the phone that was automatically shutting down, and thought about the frantic and helpless expression that his own boss would have at this moment, and decided to ignore it.
Expressing emotions is a very labor-intensive thing, especially Hagihara Kenji hadn't slept all night. Listening to the sound of breathing slowly slowing down in his ears, he tried to pull Kenji Hagihara's arm, but it didn't work.
When did this guy get so powerful? Matsuda Jinhei emptied his brain.
The matter of the text messages could not be ignored. After Matsuda Jinping determined that Hagihara Kenji would not wake up, he changed the direction of the camera to the other side before opening the live broadcast room.
The barrage was a habitual greeting, and their brisk tone made Matsuda Jinhei relax a little.
[Good morning ~ Xiao Zhenping! 】
[Today is another day to see Xiao Zhenping! 】
【I am ready! So what work today! 】
[Laughing to death, your performance, I want to say, Mazda sauce is really a PUA master! 】
[But people are voluntary! 】
【and many more? It's been half a day, is it a card? Xiao Zhenping, where are you! 】
[Could it be that Xiao Zhenping was an unconscious live broadcast! 】
【and many more? Does this room look familiar? 】
The speech on the barrage was the same as usual, Matsuda Jinping simply ignored the past, and now he was focusing on the list of wishes.
The wish that has been fulfilled will never appear again, so Matsuda Jinpei actually doesn't have much hope.
As a result, he did not expect that at the bottom of the wish list, he would see the wish that he had not seen before.
[Wish: woohoo, if possible, I really want hagi to know about it—]
Ah, this is it? The brightness of this wish is not the same as other wishes. According to Matsuda Jinhei’s experience, this is a precursor to the realization of the wish – so after reading the text message, Hagi is not completely completed?
At this time, Matsuda Jinhei noticed that there was a line of black fonts next to this wish, which was different from gold, which was slightly smaller, but it would not be ignored.
[The system update is complete. It is detected that this wish cannot be completed directly by the contractor, and the auxiliary function has been enabled by default to help the contractor to complete the task better. If the contractor does not need auxiliary functions, please choose to cancel within one month. 】
And this month, Matsuda Jinpei has not broadcast live broadcast, of course he did not see this text.
Matsuda Jinhei:…
So the result is still his own problem?
Matsuda Jinping suddenly had a bad premonition, and watched that golden wish, which began to turn into golden starlight at this moment, and began to dissipate from his eyes. This is the real expression of wish fulfillment.
In the next second, Matsuda Jinhei noticed that Kenji Hagihara, who was holding him and didn't let go, suddenly had rapid breathing. He opened his eyes almost in a panic, his eyes were out of focus, and his voice was unbelievably hoarse, but he exclaimed. Out loud: "—don't!"
The barrage obviously heard this sound, because Matsuda Jinhei adjusted the camera, and the audience who couldn't see anything swiped a full screen of question marks on the live broadcast room.
But Matsuda Jinpei didn't have time to pay attention. He happened to meet Hagihara Kenji, and watched as those eyes slowly focused, reflecting his figure. At this moment, the eyes that were already too red became watery again.
-Why didn't he know that Hagi was so emotional? !
"...What did you see?" Matsuda Jinping sighed.
"...Ferris wheel." Hagihara Kenji staggered his eyes subconsciously, but as if afraid of something, he just met Matsuda Jinping again, for fear that the other party would leave his sight.
Hagihara Kenji is a very emotional person. Unlike Matsuda Jinpei, he does not have to forcibly endure all emotions and digest them by himself.
It's like watching the same movie and seeing the touching part, Hagihara Kenji will wipe his tears with a tissue, while Matsuda Jinhei will have a stiff face and show no emotion.
It wasn't just the overly heavy emotions that crushed Hagihara Kenji, but also the ending he knew from the beginning.
Even if he knew that Matsuda Jinhei was such a person, but...
[Sorry Hagihara, it seems that I can't fulfill my promise. 】
At the final scene on the Ferris wheel, the corner of his best friend's mouth smiled slightly, and even at this time, the last thing that came to mind was the broken promise with him.
Hagihara Kenji didn't dare to look away, and met those same eyes as before, with a deliberately suppressed but still very obvious trembling at the end: "...that kind of agreement, you clearly know that I'm joking. isn't it?"
Then he saw his most important relatives and friends, the young taming that he grew up with, his eyebrows relaxed and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Ah, of course I know."
They all know this and they all understand it. Regarding Matsuda Jinhei, he simply wanted to do it—this kind of unreasonable, yet seemingly natural reason.
