I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

Serabelle once accidentally asked Shiliang Zhenchun about it, but the latter just kept saying "um" and "ah" and couldn't explain it clearly.

Serabelle didn't know the exact reason for what Akai Mari said, but she didn't seem to be very keen on mentioning the fact that she once had a son.

Plus, Serabelle herself didn't really care about these things, so she didn't mention it again later.

But since it has been brought up today, I have to ask clearly.

The unspeakable silence lasted for several minutes before Akai Mary in the room sighed softly.

"Actually, I had not intended to tell you about this. This is proof that I have failed as a mother... Yes, Masumi has biological brothers, but not one, but two."

"The eldest brother is called Akai Shuichi, the second brother is called Akai Hideyoshi, and of course he should be called Haneda Hideyoshi now."

Haneda...

Serabelle didn't have any special association with this surname. The only thing she could think of was that when they came from England to Japan, the airport they landed at seemed to be called Haneda Airport.

Mary Akai continued, "You may have heard of the name Haneda Hideyoshi. He is the seven-time champion of the Japanese shogi world. He was once a sworn brother of Haneda Hiroshi, the four-time champion of the Haneda family. He was later adopted into the Haneda family after Haneda Hiroshi died in an accident."

"As for the American colleague that Judy mentioned whose eyes look very similar to Masumi's, Hideyoshi has basically never left the Haneda family in Japan over the years, so Shuichi is the only possibility."

"His father disappeared while investigating the death of Hideyoshi's sworn brother, Haneda Hiroshi, and there has been no news for more than 20 years... You could say he was rebellious. After that, Shuichi went to the United States alone to join the FBI in order to continue investigating this matter."

"I tried to stop him, but the kid had his own ideas. He completed all the college courses required to join the FBI in the United States without my living expenses, and we had no contact for more than ten years."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the FBI that often appears in various spy movies.

But since the other person is Akai Shuichi whom I met in the United States, and he said he was a colleague...

Serabelle thought about it for a moment and followed logic to come to a conclusion.

"So that means that teacher Judy might be from the FBI?"

"..."

Akai Mari stared at Serabelle for a while, then shook her head slowly and slightly.

"Not necessarily. I can only say that it's not necessarily true. Even if she is really Shuichi's colleague, it's possible that she is just a colleague Shuichi met while working part-time while studying in the United States. She doesn't necessarily have to be a colleague in the FBI. Maybe she is, maybe not. This still needs further observation and analysis."

Speaking of analysis...

Serabelle suddenly remembered the sharp skills of the female teacher in the arcade that she saw through the floor-to-ceiling window when they were outside the arcade in the evening. Although she was just playing a shooting game, the offensive posture before drawing the gun was obviously not what an ordinary person should have. At least she was an old hand who often sharpened her gun.

But then again, this is free America, so it doesn't seem strange that ordinary people are familiar with guns?

Just as Serabelle was hesitating about the impression she had in her memory, the voice of the British girl broke the silence again.

"Compared to this, Bell, don't you have anything else you want to ask about the other two sons I mentioned above?"

"……No."

In less than a second, Serabelle gave her answer.

There was no hesitation or wavering, just like answering reflexively when someone asked him if he had dinner.

He really didn't have anything to ask, whether it was Shuichi Akai or the other seven-time champion. If Judy hadn't suddenly brought it up today and it was related to Masumi Sera, Serabel wouldn't have cared at all.

Normally speaking, no one would be interested in someone who has no connection with their life at all, right?

Serabelle thinks so.

"you……"

Faced with such an unconventional answer, Akai Mary didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a few seconds, she breathed a sigh of relief without warning, her face showing helplessness and as if a huge stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Mari Akai pulled up the arms that were around the boy's neck and hugged him tightly, and gently placed her delicate chin on his shoulder. The moist breath exhaled from her lips and teeth blew into the boy's ears, enunciating every word.

"No matter what happens in the future, we will always be a family."

"……Um."

Serabelle responded softly without saying anything else, but just cooperated and hugged the girl's waist.

What's sticking together are not only bodies, but also two lonely souls.

"What about teacher Judy..."

"Let's continue to maintain contact for now."

Serabelle just started the question and Akai Mari immediately understood what she meant and gave her answer.

"Whether what she said is true or not, we are only in the initial contact stage with her. It's not just us who are testing her, she is the same. If we act rashly first, we will lose our composure. There is no need to do that."

"understood."

After thinking about Akai Mary's instructions in her mind, Serabelle turned to talk about another matter.

"Sister Mary, there's one more thing I haven't told you."

"what?"

“I’m planning to buy a house.”

"..."

As soon as the words came out, the concise sentence seemed to turn into an electric current that passed through the girl's body. Serabel could clearly feel the delicate body in her arms tremble slightly.

"In Tokyo?"

"Ah."

"In Beika Town?"

"Ah."

"Mo..."

Mary Akai obviously wanted to continue asking, but she didn't know if it was because of the next words that made her too embarrassed to speak. She thought for a while before lowering her head, biting her lips lightly and asking in a low voice with her cheeks slightly blushing.

"Could it be next to some vixen's house?"

what?

Seeing her hesitating, Serabel thought she was going to ask whether she bought the house in order to settle down with her in Tokyo, but she didn't expect her to ask this question. After a moment of silence, she quickly shook her head and explained.

"No, no, I just chose it because it's close to Teitan High School and a little closer to the city center, so it's more convenient for Shinjun to go to school. It's just a very ordinary apartment building, about the same size as the one we lived in in London before, and the structure of the house is also similar..."

These were all normal remarks, but no matter how Serabelle explained, the British girl's face became redder and redder.

Chapter 233: Moved Next Door to Kisaki Eri

A black Audi was parked under a building in a residential area.

This is the area closest to the center of Tokyo. The reason I say this is that from this community, you only need to walk two or three intersections to reach the real center of Tokyo.

Skyscrapers, commercial plazas, the First Hospital, Tokyo Tower, etc.

It is basically the area with the highest concentration of high-quality resources in the entire Tokyo.

"Wait, wait, wait! Brother, are you saying that you bought a house right here?"

The Audi's door opened, and Serabelle got out from the front driver's seat first. Then a girl with tiger teeth who was holding a schoolbag and shouting also opened the door and jumped out from the passenger seat.

Serabelle got out of the car and walked to the back. She opened the back door and saw two bulging travel backpacks placed on the left and right of the back seat, occupying more than 60 percent of the space in the back seat.

And Akai Mary was sitting between two travel backpacks, with her legs together and her hands on her knees, looking very well-behaved.JPG.

Fortunately, she is petite enough, otherwise if Sera Masumi, who has the physique of a high school student, sat in the back seat, she would really be in jail.

Serabelle casually picked up a travel backpack from the back seat with one hand, got out of the car door and threw it over her shoulder. She glanced at the girl with tiger teeth suspiciously.

"Of course. I have packed up everything in the hotel room. I don't expect the client to bring his family and all the luggage with him, right?"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Sera Masumi still found it hard to believe.

She looked around, her eyes sweeping across the neatly trimmed and lush green belts in the community and the access control devices with lit screens at the security doors on the ground floor of each building. She then gazed at the Tokyo Tower standing proudly above the earth in the distance, and wordlessly put her index finger and thumb on her cheeks as if she was going to pinch them to see if she was dreaming, but gave up after a little thought.

The main thing is that no matter how you look at it, this place doesn't look like a place that normal Japanese working-class people can afford to live in, right?

If I have to put it bluntly, it feels like the kind of house that only wealthy families would buy to make it easier for their children to study in Tokyo, or simply to raise... well, that kind of house.

While Sera Masumi was lost in thought, Serabelle had already taken out another travel backpack from the car.

"So what does that mean?"

"Well, I was thinking that you would rent a house here, but I didn't expect you to buy one directly..."

Sera Masumi interrupted herself before she could finish her words.

"But even if you rent in this kind of community, it won't be that cheap. It's better to live in a hotel. At least there is free cleaning service... Then again, how much did this house cost to buy?"

"Let me think about it. If converted into British pounds, it's less than 900,000. It's really unaffordable for the average Japanese working class. But Mrs. Suzuki..."

Mentioning the keyword, Serabel's voice suddenly paused.

He turned to look at Akai Mary on the other side and found that she was also looking at him expressionlessly. She then coughed lightly and passed it off.

"Anyway, I made a little extra money, so it's not a problem to buy this house. As for this house, it was originally planned by a couple for their child to live in when he went to college in Tokyo. They even renovated it, but it seems that they failed the college entrance examination, so they can no longer use the house. They didn't even live in it and sold it second-hand."

"This is the legendary failure of raising a baby..."

Sera Masamune complained speechlessly.

So the three of them entered the apartment building and took the elevator all the way up, stopping when they reached the fifth floor.

The elevator door opened and the corridor was quiet. There was no cigarette butts or even garbage on the ground near the elevator door.

On the left side of the elevator lobby is another family's house. The light at the door is dim and it is difficult to see the details. On the right side is the newly purchased house of Serabelle.

You can see that the words on the doorplate have been changed to "Shiliang".

"It's so clean, could this whole floor be empty?" Sera Masumi poked her head in and asked, "Should we go say hello to our future neighbors first~"

"I'm not sure. Anyway, let's go check out our house first."

Serabelle has never been interested in things that have nothing to do with him. For him, as long as the neighbor does not affect him, it doesn't matter even if there is a dog living next door.

drop.

I used the room card to swipe the door, pushed open the long-dusty entrance door, and a faint stale smell immediately hit me.

Entering the entrance hall is a spacious living room, with a balcony on the left and a dining room and kitchen on the right. It is equipped with various televisions, sofas, cabinet air conditioners, etc., all covered with dust-proof plastic bags with a thin layer of fine dust, but there is surprisingly no smell of decoration paint in the air.

I guess after the renovation was completed, I spent a lot of time thinking about the ventilation, but in the end it was completely useless.

"I remember reading that there were three bedrooms in total, just enough for one person..."

Serabelle walked in with her luggage and looked around, while Akai Mary walked into the kitchen to familiarize herself with the new environment.

The room is a very simple three-bedroom, one-living room apartment, but there are two bathrooms, one on the side of the entrance and the other in the master bedroom.

Serabell decisively assigned the master bedroom to Sera Masumi in her mind.

On the one hand, it can prevent the girl from getting lost in her new home and not being able to find the toilet in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, it can also reduce the number of times she goes out at night.

I believe Sister Mary will also support this decision.

Yeah, yes, that's it.

Then, Serabelle randomly picked one of the remaining two bedrooms as her own room and began to clean up.

However, he had just taken off the plastic covers on the desk and chair and was about to deal with the dust cover on the bed when a burst of hurried and brisk footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.

The next second, a girl with tiger teeth appeared at the door of the room in a hurry. She stepped on the ground with her feet and grabbed the door frame before she stopped.

"……What's wrong?"

Serabelle looked up blankly, not knowing what she was going to do.

Without any answer, Sera Masumi walked into the room with stomping feet, came to the boy's side, leaned over, put his hands on the bed, tilted his head with a serious expression.

"Brother, do you still remember what Lan's mother's name is?"

Miss Maori's mother...

Serabelle recalled carefully.

"I remember everyone called her Lawyer Hime, but I can't quite remember what the name "Hibi" was, but it seemed to be...Hibi Eri?"
