I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"So, Mrs. Suzuki called this time because she has some new work?"

When he asked this question, he was also wondering why Suzuki Tomoko called him.

Normally speaking, Suzuki Tomoko called him just to find him somewhere, but there has been no news of any new actions by the thief lady recently.

As for Yuanzi going out... they just encountered that incident at the Twin Towers yesterday, and it hasn't even been two days and you're already thinking about going out to play again. Isn't that a bit too careless?

However, Suzuki Tomoko's next sentence almost made Serabelle choke on her saliva.

"I'm sorry, it has nothing to do with work. I just wanted to ask if you've ever been to Izu."

Hmm, Izu, a familiar place name.

Serabelle told the truth: "I went there once with my family in early summer. We went to the beach at the seaside."

Suzuki Tomoko hummed on the phone.

"I see. Then you haven't seen the fireworks display in Izu yet, right?"

Fireworks display?

I really haven’t seen this.

Serabelle knew about fireworks. Although they originated in China, they were also set off in the UK. However, he had never been to a fireworks display, especially one in Japan.

According to a veteran colleague in MI6, men and women in Japan have to wear yukata to watch the fireworks display, and they don't wear underwear under the yukata...

"We're leaving tomorrow afternoon for three days and two nights. Are you free to go together?" Suzuki Tomoko asked directly.

Serabelle thought for a moment and changed the question: "It is true that Kong has it, but does the wife of a consortium also have a private tour?"

"Of course I do."

After getting a positive answer, Suzuki Tomoko's mood was obviously much better. She could even be heard lying back comfortably in her office chair from the other end of the phone. She must have been taking a break in the office after finishing her work.

"I've said it before. People like us have to show up in front of the public every day and deal with the cameras of many news reporters. It's rare that we have free time after work. Naturally, we should relax. If we keep tense, even the strongest people will collapse."

Serabelle nodded. "That makes sense. So when and how do we get there?"

"As for the time, it's tomorrow afternoon, just like I said. Specifically, around 2pm. As for how to get there..."

At this point Suzuki Tomoko suddenly paused, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense.

"Since we are traveling, the process of getting to the destination is also part of the fun of traveling, so I plan to take a bus. What do you think?"

"..."

The wife of the CEO of the Suzuki Group is going on a bus tour?

Serabelle on the other end of the phone fell into deep thought.

……

The scheduled departure time was 2pm the next day, but since the bus stop from Tokyo to Izu was only in Beika-cho and not in Haido-cho, Serabel packed her luggage and left the hotel at 1:30pm.

However, even so, when he arrived at the Beikacho station platform a quarter of an hour later, someone had already arrived there.

To be precise, everyone except Kenta was there, including Suzuki Tomoko, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan, a total of four people.

Everyone was wearing yukata.

Of course, Serabelle was the same in this regard. This was agreed upon yesterday, and she would wear a yukata when she set out.

"Hello hello~ Sera-kun is finally here!"

Sonoko had sharp eyes. She noticed Serabelle dragging a suitcase and holding Manager Urahara's black cane in her hand even from a small side street.

When Serabelle walked in, she immediately came closer to take a look.

"Oh, this cane is really nice!"

"Well, that's...right."

Serabelle wanted to explain that this was a prop made by Dr. Agasa, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say it out loud.

There is no need to explain the main thing.

If someone else held this cane, it would probably give people a very strange feeling. However, perhaps because Serabelle herself is British, her determined face with few changes of expression gives people a lazy feeling. Coupled with the sharp aura of a former MI6 executive department investigator, when she holds the cane, not only does it not feel out of place, but it also gives people the feeling of a young deacon or a young butler.

Even if you change into a Japanese yukata, it's the same.

Serabelle looked up at Suzuki Tomoko and nodded, then turned to Conan and Xiaolan.

"You guys go too."

"Well... that's because of Sonoko."

Xiaolan said this while squinting her eyes at one of her best friends.

"She said that traveling alone with Aunt Tomoko was too lonely, so she insisted on asking Conan and me to come along."

"President Suzuki is not going?"

Serabelle looked around and found that Suzuki Shiro was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing this, Yuanzi curled his lips and waved his hand: "That's right, dad doesn't have time to travel. Otherwise, how could I say that mom and I are the only two people in the desert."

"Oh haha~"

A quarter of an hour passed unnoticed as a few people chatted, and the bus to Izu arrived on time with the sound of the diesel engine and the heat waves from the tires.

After buying the ticket and getting on the bus, there were only four empty seats left in the last two rows near the door.

It would be a bit difficult if there were five adults on the bus, but fortunately Conan is still in child size, so Xiaolan can just hold him on her lap.

"Then Sonoko, you can sit with Ran," Suzuki Tomoko arranged.

"Ah? Oh..."

Yuanzi didn't think much about what her mother said and agreed without thinking.

So it became that Sonoko, Ran and Conan sat together, while Serabelle and Suzuki Tomoko sat in the corner seats of the last row.

"Sorry, I prefer to look out the window while riding in the car. Can I sit inside?"

Suzuki Tomoko asked this question before taking her seat.

Of course, Serabelle did not refuse, but just listened to the two high school girls who had already sat down in the front seat start chattering while waiting for Mrs. Suzuki to take her seat first.

When he followed closely behind him and sat down in a seat near the aisle, he heard two slight sounds of shoes falling to the ground beside him.

Following the sound, I looked to the side and below, and saw two pairs of women's sports shoes that were convenient for walking in, lying on the ground with nothing inside.

Suzuki Tomoko took off her shoes again, revealing a pair of jade feet wrapped in black stockings under the hem of her yukata.

Is Chapter 183 good to watch?

"Does it look good?"

Just as Serabelle turned her head to look at the ground below, the voice of Mrs. Suzuki came slowly from beside her.

He immediately withdrew his gaze and raised his head, but the look he met was not the reproachful one he had expected, but instead a look with a slight smile.

Compared to the so-called good-looking...

The bus started moving slowly after the door was closed again. Serabelle looked around the quiet interior of the bus and consciously lowered her voice to a level that only the two of them could hear.

"I just think that a bus is a public place after all, and there are many outsiders. If someone sees it and takes a photo and posts it online, let alone whether it will affect the share price of Suzuki Group, it will at least cause a lot of news and public opinion. Is this really okay?"

"So that's what you're worried about..."

Suzuki Tomoko covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Well, although Sera-kun's worries are not unreasonable, this is also easy to explain. I just want to ask a question."

"what?"

"What is the name of the wife of the current Japanese Prime Minister and what does she look like?"

Ok?

This question really stumped Serabelle.

As a British, he knew the name and appearance of the British Prime Minister, but he had no idea what the Prime Minister's wife was called.

As for the Prime Minister of Japan... he only knew that there was a man named Abe who was carried away by two trolls from the No. 1 male gunner in the Japanese server. He had the impression that the name of the person who came to power later was similar to the author of Naruto... Anyway, he couldn't remember it clearly.

"Look, you can't tell, right?"

Suzuki Tomoko smiled.

"This is actually a very simple truth. Everyone will remember the first place, but rarely remember the second place. Everyone will remember the person standing under the stage lights, looking glamorous, but rarely remember the staff behind the scenes who are lighting, playing music and arranging the program. Even though I am the wife of the Suzuki Group, I am only well-known in the circle that has business dealings with my family. If I go to a convenience store to buy things, I still have to pay normally. If I take a bus, I still have to buy a ticket, etc. At least on this bus, no one else should recognize me except you."

So what does this have to do with taking off your shoes when you get on the bus...

Serabelle thought.

As if she had sensed the inner thoughts of the boy next to her, Suzuki Tomoko lowered her head to look at her own feet wrapped in black stockings, which were casually placed on her shoes, and curled her toes playfully.

"As for why you take off your shoes, to put it bluntly, you just want to indulge yourself during your leisure time. Is this a rebound?"

She used a new term that Serabelle had rarely heard of.

"To put it simply, the more serious and formal you are in front of others, the more you will act recklessly when you relax. You will indulge yourself in all the restraints you have on a daily basis."

"Contrasting cuteness?"

Serabelle suddenly thought of a suitable adjective.

"more or less."

Suzuki Tomoko leaned sideways against the window, resting her elbow on the window sill and supporting her cheek with her clenched fist. She looked at him in a posture that was not good for the spine but gave people a rather lazy feeling. She touched Serabelle's calf under the seat with her toes, which were only wrapped in a thin layer of black stockings.

"Have you ever paid attention to news about the entertainment industry? You should often see popular artists being exposed for having a habit of stealing things."

Serabelle nodded: "I think I've heard of it..."

"So it feels weird, doesn't it? As a popular artist, you shouldn't be short of money, but you end up stealing."

Tomoko Suzuki talks freely.

"To put it bluntly, they use the excitement of stealing to relieve the huge pressure caused by being restricted in every way on a daily basis."

"So Mrs. Suzuki, your way of stress relief is to take off your shoes in public?"

Serabelle squinted downward.

A pair of restless black silk jade feet began to gently touch his calves again.

"Haha, of course not."

Suzuki Tomoko looked at her daughter in the front seat, who was chatting animatedly with her best friend and had no energy to pay attention to the daughter in the back seat, shook her head and smiled brightly.

"I just don't want to be restrained when I'm relaxing, but I won't go too far. At least if I were sitting in the same position as now and there was no one sitting next to me or it wasn't you, Sera-kun, I wouldn't take off my shoes either."

"..."

Listening to the above words, Serabelle suddenly thought of a famous scene in a game he had played before called Old Man Ring.

I'm tired of all the red tape.JPG

I didn’t expect that you, Mrs. Suzuki, are also a warrior!

……

A two-hour drive wasn’t long at all. For the two high school girls in the front seat who were having an intense conversation, it probably just passed in the blink of an eye.

In the back seat, Serabelle and Suzuki Tomoko were chatting casually along the way, so the journey was generally pleasant.

The bus stops at a coastal road in Izu. On one side of the road are various commercial streets, and across the road is the beach. Next to the azure blue beach in the distance, dozens of-story seaside hotels stand proudly under the scorching sun.

Yuanzi got out of the car with her luggage and put her hands over her eyes like a tent, looking around curiously and asked, "Is that the hotel where we are staying this time?"

According to her expectations, the hotel her mother booked must be at least a top-notch hotel.

However, what Suzuki Tomoko said in reply made the girl dumbfounded instantly.

"Unfortunately, that's not the case. Our hotel is a bit far from here. Come with me."

"Hey, where is it..."
