I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up the newspaper, then took a sip of tea from the teacup that was placed to the side.

She doesn't usually read these boring news articles when she has nothing to do.

I really don't know anything about high school detectives.

When she saw the report and photos of Bai Ye, she finally understood.

So Bai Ye has been working as a detective lately?

"So you're not working at a convenience store anymore, but have changed careers?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep breath.

Isn't this a rather large leap across industries?

She had heard of high school detectives.

But it's still that high school detective, Shinichi Kudo.

But there seems to be no news about him lately.

"I guess so. Actually, I've been starting my own business recently. You know my situation; if I don't make some money, I'll probably starve to death."

Compared to last time, Bai Ye now has another excuse.

Moreover, it's a legitimate excuse.

With that, Bai Ye placed a business card in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Teacher, here is my Yorozuya contact information. You can contact me if you need anything in the future."

"."

After taking the business card from Bai Ye, Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Bai Ye silently.

Then he muttered, "I don't want to have to come to you for anything."

The things a detective does are really just a few things.

She didn't want to hire a detective.

They've already resorted to hiring a detective; this probably isn't going to be anything good.

"My Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) doesn't just do detective work; we can solve all sorts of problems."

"Can it solve everything?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka muttered something to herself, and seeing Bai Ye nod, she jokingly asked, "What should I say if my parents are pressuring me?"

"Hey teacher, look at our transactional relationship!"

What's going on!

I treated you like a brother, and you actually lied to me about having a baby!

It's normal for parents to be urging their children to get ahead of them, isn't it?

Hiratsuka Shizuka is getting on in years, and her family has been urging her to get married.

If it weren't for her, Hiratsuka Shizuka would probably still be being pressured to get married.

This is why Hiratsuka Shizuka has always indulged herself.

That's why.

"See, you're getting impatient."

Hiratsuka Shizuka shrugged, then waved to indicate that Byakuya could leave.

After learning that Byakuya was not being kept by a rich woman, Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm afraid Bai Ye won't want to work hard anymore.

Since he still wants to try, that's enough.

As for taking leave later

Looking at the business card in her hand, Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed; it seemed she had no choice but to agree.

After all, there's no other way if you disagree.

What they said is right; given his circumstances, it seems he can only rely on himself.

Before Bai Ye returned to the classroom, Eriri, who had been waiting for him outside, quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

Then, unable to resist glancing inside the classroom, and after confirming that the person inside hadn't seen her, she hurriedly said, "Bai Ye, something terrible has happened!"

She was feeling somewhat sad at the moment.

I don't know how to describe myself later.

"what happened?"

"That woman is catching up!"

Eriri said quickly.

She never expected that Ann Takamaki would actually follow her here.

And the first thing they did was find themselves.

Now that they've caught up with me, what am I supposed to do?

Previously, Eriri was thinking that things would get better as time went by.

Now that they're catching up, what should we do?!

"You've finally arrived! It must be you!"

A bright female voice rang out behind Eriri, a voice that sent chills down Eriri's spine.

Ruined.

The other party appeared.

At this moment, she also felt a little regretful, realizing that her previous recklessness had led to their current awkward situation.

Ann Takamaki, who was behind her, ignored Eriri.

She had already recognized Bai Ye as the leader of this group last time.

To join the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, you need Byakuya's permission.

I've already been rejected once, so I can't afford to be rejected again this time.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 293 The Internal Strife Between Tohru and Sadako!

"You're really boring."

I originally thought that I had probably missed out on Ann Takamaki's chances.

But to everyone's surprise, Ann Takamaki actually chased after him herself.

But I've already refused once, so refusing a second time probably wouldn't be appropriate, right?

Wouldn't it be easy to get her to join?

“I only had one friend at that school, and everyone was quite hostile towards me.”

If she had friends, Ann Takamaki would never have chosen to pursue him after being rejected by Byakuya.

Are you being isolated?

Ann Takamaki's words resonated with others.

Eriri has many friends, but they are all fake; she only has a handful of real friends.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was in a similar situation; in fact, she was somewhat isolated.

As for Kato Megumi...

Given this passive situation, it seems impossible not to be isolated.

"It's quite pitiful, but why should we let you join? After all, the risks are very high."

It's not just the risk of getting caught.

And there is also the risk of being poached.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also harbored a slight hostility towards Takamaki Ann.

The other person was wearing a mask at first.

Now that I've seen the other person's face, I'm even more certain that I can't let them join.

"Because I've found you. In the game of cat and mouse, once you're found, you have to obey!"

"It seems I have no choice but to listen, so I agree, but I need to observe you first."

Bai Yejun.

You probably already wanted to agree a long time ago, didn't you?

Hearing Bai Ye's words, the three of them twitched their lips, their eyes filled with helplessness.

Although I had already realized that no matter how much I tried to stop it, it would be futile.

But they haven't even started yet.

"make a deal!"

Ann Takamaki patted Byakuya's hand, as if a deal had been struck.

Although it still needs to be observed.

But since you've already agreed, you can't just kick me out later, can you?

When will we make our next move?

"Hey, are you an undercover agent?"

Although I felt a little sorry for Ann Takamaki's experience before.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha is not going to let this go so easily.

This woman is a threat.
