Chapter 19 Greetings from Mitarai: Digital Lock Chapter 6

【Greetings from Mitarai: Digital Lock】 For the next week or so, Mitarai would always go to Ogiki’s Suita apartment when he was moving—I only found out later, and I was always wondering where he went. It was written in the contract that as long as they moved within the year, everything else was optional.Mitarai often ran to Ogiki happily with a cake box in his hand, I was a bit annoyed to see him like that—this guy had never been interested in any kind of beauties before, what happened this time? She also seems to call often, and the relationship between the two seems to be progressing very quickly.

Mitarai is a handsome man just from appearance.I know too much about his personality to really think he's handsome, but he's tall.Originally, women also have their own preferences, and occasionally there will be some miracles, so it is not so inconceivable that he is popular with women. On December 24th, Christmas Eve, Jingle Bell's melody was everywhere in the street, and it was almost tiresome.We returned to our room after lunch, completely cut off from the Christmas atmosphere of the outside world, and began to struggle with Mitarai's huge library.Originally, what made Mitarai, who has rough living habits, make up his mind to move is his habit of collecting so many books that the floor is almost bent.Books were piled on the floor, Mitarai was sitting on them, and I was tying the rope without stopping for a moment. I was working in such a way that I was busy, when I was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door outside.

Mitarai agreed.I'm not happy, and it's hard for me to work seriously for a while. Mitarai, once he loses his energy, it's very difficult to return to such boring things. But the guest was the one who made me lose my temper—when Mitarai opened the door, there was a young man named Makoto Miyata outside.It was probably very cold outside, his nose was red from the cold, and his lips were bright red, like a girl. "Oh, you're here!" Mitarai said happily. "I'm free anyway, so I just want to help you move." The boy said in a cheerful tone while taking off his scarf.The scarf messed up his somewhat long hair, making him look more like a girl.

He works quite neatly.Even a lazy guy like Mitarai is not ashamed to be lazy in front of guests, and his efficiency is unexpectedly high.In this way, by around four o'clock, most of the mountain of books that almost occupied the bedroom had been cleaned up. "I'm so sorry." Mitarai said, "I treat you as a thank you for treating you to dinner. But I'll make do with some coffee made by uncle first." "Who uncle are you talking about?" I said angrily.But Mitarai completely ignored me and asked the boy, "Do you like coffee?" "Well, I've liked it since I came to Tokyo. There are a lot of coffee shops in Tokyo."

"Unexpected?" "Well, when I'm working in the company, I'm very happy that I can drink coffee during breaks." While talking, he blushed. "Although the coffee made by uncle is not as good as that in the coffee shop, it's not bad." Mitarai said again.I was thinking about what to say to counter him, but I heard a knock on the door. Mitarai silently walked over and opened the door.Another unexpected character—officer Fumihiko Takekoshi.He silently saluted Mitarai, nodded at me, and walked into the room. "I have something to ask for you..." he said, and he was surprised when he saw the boy Makoto Miyata in a blink of an eye.

"Ah, aren't you...?" "He's here to help me move." Mitarai said. "Then I'll take my leave." Makoto Miyata said. "yes?" "Well, I still have something to do." After he finished speaking, he walked around the police officer and walked towards the door behind him. ※Bandhammer Academy's E-Book※ "Then I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow. Do you have an appointment for tomorrow?" Mitarai asked. "No." The boy agreed, then nodded at us and went out, and closed the door gently after reaching the corridor.

"Know him before?" the officer asked. "No, I just got acquainted recently." Mitarai said while gesturing to the sofa.We zigzag around the mess to get to the hospitality chairs. "Actually, it's about Ishihara Shuzo, we're going to arrest him." Takekoshi sat on the sofa and said.Upon hearing this, Mitarai showed a sharp expression for a moment. "That playboy on Nakanosaka? But no matter whether Ishihara or Bachang, there is no conclusive evidence now?" "No, it's impossible at the racecourse. He's honest and rigid, and his alibi is solid."

"Even if Ishihara doesn't have a conclusive alibi, isn't there still the obstacle of a digital lock? If I can't open this thing, Ishihara won't be able to enter the secret room either." "This is indeed a difficulty, and we know it very well, so we haven't taken action against that guy so far. I came to consult with my husband. If my husband could explain the key to the digital lock, I would have arrested that guy." "However, you can't keep waiting like this. There are no other suspects in this case. It's fine if there are other possibilities, but there are no clues at all."

"But what is the reason for arresting Ishihara? There is no evidence yet, right?" "Arrested under another name." After hearing this, Mitarai snorted contemptuously, and turned his face away: "Another name!".His expression made it clear that he was satirizing the "smart methods" of the police. "There is no lack of reasons for other things. There are many shady activities behind his consistent behavior, and the two snack bars he runs are not very authentic." "Is it okay to make a fool of myself if I catch it wrong?" Mitarai finally said.

"But teacher, we are also people with missions." Police officer Takegoshi desperately explained, "It's our shame to keep staring like this. If you know something, teacher, please make it clear." Mitarai stood up and walked back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back as usual. "Officer Takegoshi, why did you come to me in the first place? If you have made up your mind, just keep silent and persevere. After all, you have found me!" In these words, there is a feeling of distress that is different from the usual Mitarai. "This..." Officer Takegoshi only said this, bit his lips, and explained, "So I want to listen to your instructions. I am a rough person and I don't know etiquette, but seeing your mind in May I admire the excellent performance in the Ze incident. So I admit all the previous disrespect to you and ask for your opinion... I think this is more like a man."

Just as Mitarai stood still, she began to stroll unsteadily, then slowly shook her head two or three times: "Officer Takegoshi, I didn't want to say such boring words - I actually have something to consider for you. I don't know how it looks to others, but I'm not just doing whatever I want." He paused briefly, pacing silently. "But what you just said was cruel—won't you take care of it yourself?" "I can't solve it. I don't have as good a mind as you. Anyway, if you don't explain why I'm wrong, I'll go back to the office and arrest Shi Yuan now." Mitarai bit his lips lightly, and I could see that he took a deep breath helplessly: "In short, are you planning to rely entirely on me?" "That's right, as you said." Officer Takegoshi said firmly. "What to do!" said Mitarai immediately. "I wonder how much you know about this. You're betting your own reputation on me with ten times more determination than you realize. Well! Wait a few more hours, and I will let you know the truth in a few hours." "Ishioka-kun, go out for a walk, I don't want this kind of coffee. Put on your coat, it's cold outside!"
