Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

Naoko Kuroda stood up from her seat.

Hearing Tanaka's mumbling, the kind-hearted girl helped Tanaka ask questions, expanding the scope of the questions to everyone, including Vermouth and Winnet, and almost everyone turned their eyes to the owner of the villa - Ara Yoshinori.

He moved to the small table next to the stairs.

There is a telephone on it.

"I do know his phone number and his real name."

He said, and started dialing.

The first few people who arrived focused on this matter. They came behind Arashi Yize and waited for a response.

There were only four of them left at the table.

As the number of people decreased, Sonoko's curiosity turned to Vermouth again, and this time she asked Winnet instead.

Yuanzi rushed to the stool next to Winnet.

"Miss Winnet, he..."

Just as Sonoko was about to ask a question like "Is he pursuing you?", Winnet put her finger on her lips.

Winette turned her face towards her.

Still fair and without any shyness.

Winnet replied with an expression.

Nothing at all.

Expressing this meaning.

"Don't you and Xiaolan know him?"

Winette attempted to answer questions with questions.

Yuanzi shook her head, and her fluffy short hair swayed.

Winnett made a strange expression and looked straight at Vermouth.

"He's the school doctor at your school. I heard him say he just started working a few days ago. It seems like he hasn't integrated well. You don't even recognize him."

"School nurse?"

Sonoko looked shocked and made a camera shape with her hand to observe Vermouth. Because of her relatively forward posture, her not-so-full chest was almost touching Winnet's face, and it smelled like detergent. What a frugal lady.

"So they are students from Teitan High School."

Vermouth pretended to be surprised and immediately introduced herself.

"I'm the newly appointed school doctor, Tomoaki Niide."

After he introduced himself, he explained the reason to Winnet.

"After accepting the principal's appointment, I began to prepare for the school's physical examination. Because we had a holiday for Adult Day the previous two days, the only people who saw me were probably a few students who came to the infirmary due to injuries."

"So that's how it is, teacher."

Yuanzi immediately changed his words and pulled Xiaolan over as well.

"Teacher, how did you and Miss Winnett know each other?"

"Actually, my family runs a clinic, and Miss Winnet is considered one of my patients."

"patient?"

Winnet pointed to the eyes.

"Ah, is there any possibility of recovery?"

Sonoko asked.

"No, it cannot be done with current medical methods, but appropriate medication and special training can achieve slightly improved results. It is only in the trial stage now."

Even though it's nonsense.

At this point, Vermouth seemed a little discouraged.

"Because I want to attend this rally, and Miss Winnett accompanied me here to test the effectiveness of this training."

"..."

“That’s actually the case.”

Xiaolan also sighed, sounding a little regretful. After Vermouth's live performance, the two girls in front of them all put him in the role of a passionate man.

If you don't understand romance, then you don't understand romance.

Although it caused troublesome misunderstandings, it was the best way to get around it. Winette also knew that further explanation would only make things more complicated, so she simply remained silent and acted indifferent.

"I'm also a little interested in magic."

She said softly.

None of the three people present took this statement seriously. Even though Winnett did not act like a person with visual impairment, the "fact" was so. No one doubted whether she really could not see clearly, and magic performances were obviously not among the items that could be experienced. This statement was almost equivalent to an excuse for rejection. The love master Suzuki Sonoko stared straight at her cold face. In the end, they came to a conclusion that Winnett did not have any feelings beyond friendship for the newly-arrived doctor.

Unfortunately, this school doctor was not her type and was a little behind her in terms of handsomeness.

Yuanzi felt a little regretful in her heart.

At the same time, the phone kept beeping and then there was a message reminder. The call to the Escape King was automatically transferred to the answering machine, playing the message set in the morning.

Araki put down the phone with a little helplessness and forced a smile.

"In that case, let's play by ourselves until he arrives."

He made arrangements as he walked over to Sukama.

"Then I will prepare dinner with Sukama now. Can you guys go to your room and change your sheets first?"

"it is good."

The newcomers said in unison.

Winnet went upstairs with a little helplessness. Because the number of people coming was decided at the beginning, the number of rooms was not very sufficient. Thanks to Vermouth's vague words, she and her might have to share a room. Men and women living in the same room is indeed a situation that easily triggers associations. Although Winnet didn't care about it, Sonoko and Xiaolan were among the participants, which was a difficult problem that could not be avoided.

"I've seen the layout of the room. It's a B&B-style room for two people."

Vermouth introduced to Winnet that, to be precise, there were two beds in a room, and the distance between them was not short.

"Perhaps I can talk to Miss Kuroda or Miss Tanaka and let you room with them."

She remained a gentleman.

"It's okay for me. Does it embarrass you?"

Under the gaze of Winnett with a smile on her face, Vermouth was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

"Then I'll help."

She was referring to changing the sheets. After Sonoko and Xiaolan entered the room, the way they communicated with each other became much less frequent. Winette sighed softly. This coincidence had added a lot of pressure to her. She was bored and a little irritated. Vermouth was patient and still put on a good show, helping her change the sheets, and her attitude was not as condescending as before.

She was stunned and pulled down her sleeves.

"What are you planning?"

“Taking care of a child with visual impairment is common, right?”

"Have you ever thought of me like that?"

"Of course, although I don't know when your movements became so natural, but I'm not by your side, maybe you've already become very familiar with these things... The more this happens, the more guilty I feel. Isn't there a saying that if a child is too sensible, it's a dereliction of duty for the parents?"

"Are you simply taking advantage of me?"

Winette complained. But compared to before, she is indeed much smoother now, which is rare for Vermouth to notice.

She was very observant, or rather, she was paid a lot of attention. Winnet didn't want to get into a passionate conversation, so the fine hair on her ears moved slightly, and her little finger pressed against Vermouth's lips.

Lie.

She gestured.

It was just someone passing by in the corridor.

You are still so sensitive, Vermouth said with a smile. After packing her luggage, she opened the curtains and walked to the window sill. With her hands on the handrail, she looked down and saw Sonoko and the other person who were also on the window sill. She looked back at Winnett, with an expression that was hard to explain.

She smiled with her new face, and her smile made the corners of her eyes slightly droop and her eyebrows slightly stretch, revealing a very friendly and childish look, which was quite lethal to girls who like gentle men.

Winnet felt awkward seeing her like this.

"what happened?"

"Well, are you familiar with that girl named Mao Lilan?"

Winette was a little surprised to hear Xiaolan's full name, but considering that she had introduced herself outside the door and Vermouth was right beside her, it was not surprising that she knew it.

"I'm familiar with her. Her father is Maori Kogoro, the detective who often appears on TV... Knowing someone related to a detective is a bad thing, and you'll always be involved in inexplicable incidents. However, since you mentioned her directly, she must have nothing to do with that detective."

Winette was observing Vermouth's expression while talking nonsense. She seemed to have no interest in Kogoro.

Vermouth returned from the balcony and passed by her, as if taking off the disguise of a gentle man, and threw himself onto the bed. He moved his body lazily and changed to a sideways posture with one hand supporting his head. If it was a woman's outfit, this posture would still be charming, but now it was Arata Tomoaki, and only a different kind of charm remained.

"Good relationship?"

"Ah."

"Do you consider her a friend?"

"Are we still beating around the bush?"

There was obviously a hidden meaning behind Vermouth's questions, and Winnett couldn't tell her attitude towards Xiaolan.

Is he trying to take advantage of her?

"You forgot what I always say..."

"Secrets make women more attractive, right? But not everyone can appreciate your charm. Your ambiguous statement makes it difficult for me. Are you targeting her?"

"I didn't say that. I just think this girl is pretty cute."

"Do you want to do something to her?"

"How do you do it? Is it like this?"

Vermouth leaped up to Winnet and put her thick hand on the side of her neck.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Vermouth's flirtatious behavior at ordinary times, but the change in her expression was quite shocking, causing her to slap the hand away directly. Vermouth took this opportunity to restore her hypocritical state and smoothed her clothes.

"Don't be like that, it's disgusting."

The face that originally looked quite gentle suddenly became greasy.

Seeing that Vermouth avoided answering the question, Winnett felt that she probably had no hostility towards Xiaolan. In the impression left on her by Vermouth, when facing hostile objects, she always kept a low profile and would only hide in the dark like a fox and do something shady.

"Ah, it seems that you really have no interest in men at all."

"Don't interrupt."

"Don't worry, I'm just interested in this girl for personal reasons."

"Personal reasons?"

"Hey, it seems like you care about her a lot."

Vermouth shook her waist and wanted to sit on Winette's knees, but her body paused and finally she sat back on the bed.

Her face turned into an unhappy expression.

"You don't care about me, but you care about a little high school girl... I'm really jealous."

"I think you should be the one who cares about her, right?"

Vermouth shook her fingers as if she was looking for a cigarette but found nothing between her fingers, so she gave up. She walked to the windowsill, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit it facing the snow-covered pine tree in front of her. Even though she had the face of Aizawa Tomoaki, she looked like a lonely and worried woman with her arms hunched lazily on the fence. If the atmosphere was more relaxed, Winnet felt that she would mention a bad profession to maintain their usual bickering. However, she felt a lot more relaxed that Vermouth could stay honest.

The smoke from the window blew into the house. Winnet wrinkled her nose and also came to the balcony. She stood a distance away from Vermouth and looked at the snowy scenery below. This side faced the suspension bridge from which we came. From a high place, we could overlook the nearby forest. It felt like a fairy tale. To be more precise, it should be a scene suitable for Schubert's Devil. Looking down, we could see Sonoko and Xiaolan standing on the window. Their rooms were not in the same vertical row, so there was no obstruction to the view.

Winnet suspected that Vermouth was also looking at Xiaolan and the others.

What made her start to care about Mao Lilan? The possibility of the two people meeting each other is almost zero. Especially since Vermouth has not been in Japan for a long time, even if she meets Xiaolan, it is difficult for them to have more than a casual communication.
