Chapter 246 As Long as We Are Both Here (Additional Update for Luo Yue of Imperial Government)

Toru Amuro worked extremely hard on his last day at Ritsufeng Music Classroom. He even gave each student a handwritten card expressing his gratitude and farewell.

Nobuhiro was honored to receive one as well. The card was placed in a delicate envelope and sealed with wax.

After returning home, he used a small scraper to gently dig out the complete paint seal and took out the card.

The content on the card was very simple, and Nobushige sighed sadly the moment he saw it.

He didn't know what he was expecting. He thought with his toes and knew that Rei Furiya would never write a thank you card in his own handwriting. He was not even sure whether Jiang Guling's handwriting was still the same as before.

Nobuhiro looked at the card, paused, then stood up and walked to the wine cabinet.

This wine cabinet is very large, but unlike the wine cabinets that are used as decorations in many homes, Nobushige filled the entire wine cabinet with various fine wines from all over the world. The first floor is lined with various varieties of white grapes or red wine, the second floor is some fortified wines, such as sherry, port, brandy, etc., and the upper floors are other spirits.

Nobuhiro doesn't drink often, because alcohol can sometimes paralyze a person's nerves and make him make irreparable mistakes. This is a big taboo for someone like Nobuhiro. But he also doesn't mind having a drink on a good night, or getting drunk with his close friends. The latter was too difficult, but he often did the former.

In such cases, wine quality and variety are important.

Nobushige felt that he could buy a bunch of wine and not drink it, but he couldn't find out when he suddenly wanted to drink sherry.

This is a matter of attitude towards life.

Nobushige took down a bottle of bourbon from the upper shelf of the wine cabinet and a glass specifically for drinking spirits.

He sat down in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking out at the bizarre night sky in Tokyo, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Immediately the sweet aroma of bourbon spread.

However, Nobuhiro was not in a hurry to taste it. He used the knife he used to open the envelope to gently pick up the back label of the wine bottle and took out a photo from inside.

As an undercover agent who walks on the edge of a knife all day, Nobuhiro knows that nothing related to his past can be left behind, but most of the time Mescal's identity is quite safe and there is no need to be too reserved. As long as he can do it, if one day he needs to receive colleagues from the organization at home without being noticed, it will be enough.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. Nobuhiro doesn't agree with this. But even so, he couldn't carelessly put important things on the wine cabinet for others to see. He had to be appropriately vigilant.

Probably no one would have thought that he would hide the photo on the back label of the wine bottle, right?

This is a somewhat old photo, but it is well preserved and does not have any damage or stains.

The background of the photo is a crooked cypress tree, and the blue sky in the distance can be seen through the gap in the treetops.

The time was frozen on the day they graduated from the police academy. Five high-spirited young people smiled brightly at the camera.

Zero stood in the middle with a somewhat triumphant expression, because his hands were pinching the cheeks of Zhu Fu Jingguang in front of him very hard, but he didn't notice that Datehang on the left had already put the V-shaped sign above his head. Matsuda Jinpei, the most inconspicuous among them, is almost obsessed with Jingguang. Only Ogihara Kenji, in order to maintain his perfect and romantic image in the eyes of his female classmates, smiled at the camera and exuded his unplaced charm and...hormones.

Seeing this photo, Nobushige couldn't help but chuckle.

It's great to be young. Those were probably the most carefree days for them, right?

Although everyone has scars or pain deep in their hearts, and although the death of his parents often makes Jingguang breathless, when he looks back at the past from the current perspective, he realizes that as long as each other is around, other sufferings and pressures will Nothing at all.

As long as each other is here...

Xinfan's smiling eyes gradually dimmed, he sighed inaudibly, hid the photo back in its original position, and sealed it with glue.

Well, he is already fine, at least he knows that he is not alone, at least he knows that Zero is not far away, at least he can watch that guy silently.

But for Feng Guling, he is really the only one left in this world.

Walking alone on the cold and dark road, letting the thorns pierce your skin, you must keep going forward even if you are covered with bruises.

This process must be painful and must be full of despair, but no matter Jingguang or Zero, they have no choice.

Maybe when everything ends, Jiang Guling, who knows the truth, will not be able to help clenching his fists and beating Zhufu Jingguang. Then let him fight. At least they can survive until the end.

Being alive is already very, very good.

Nobushige swirled the glass and drank the liquid in one gulp.

Wine is just like people, some are worth savoring slowly, and some are best for cutting through the mess quickly. Too much hesitation and thinking will slow down the pace of the brave. Jianggu Ling does not need to wallow in the past, and Zhu Fu Jingguang cannot do this.

Just when Nobushige was about to get up and pack his things, there was a sound of a key opening the door from the entrance.

When he heard the sound and looked around, the confusion and sadness on his face had completely dissipated, and it was replaced by Asano Nobuhige's signature gentle smile.

Hui Yuarai pushed the door open and immediately noticed the man standing in front of the window against the light.

She was stunned and asked softly, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"Well... because the night outside is beautiful." Nobuhiro walked over and turned on the chandelier in the living room, "Did you enjoy playing with your classmates?"

Haibara Ai put her schoolbag on the sofa, and then replied: "Well, Yoshida-san's mother is very gentle, and the snacks she makes are also delicious."

"Really, that's great. Xiao Ai can often go to his classmates' homes in the future, and he can also invite his classmates to his home on weekends..."

Nobushige originally wanted to say that he could invite his classmates to play at home, but he suddenly remembered that this classmate also included Edogawa Conan, and immediately changed his mind, "Well, you can also invite them to go out for a picnic, watch a movie or something."

He is not afraid of Conan's reputation as the "Death Schoolboy", but if Conan comes over, the probability of homicides in this building, especially among the residents on this floor, will skyrocket. Living next to a dead apartment is not that pleasant after all.

It's best to avoid it if you can.

Haibara Ai didn't hear the dislike for someone in Xinfan's tone, so she nodded happily. It can be seen that Xiao Ai, who has lost the memory of Miyano Shiho, has adapted very well to the life of an elementary school student.

"By the way," Nobuhiro suddenly remembered, "I plan to buy a single-family house in the 2-chome of Miwa Town. What are your requirements for a new home, Xiao Ai?"
