I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

It is impossible not to feel resentful when this opportunity, which may only come once in a lifetime, is snatched away by someone else.

"It's possible, but it's just a possibility."

Serabel pointed at Genta who was being comforted by Ayumi and Mitsuhiko.

"But the most urgent thing now is to send the children back, especially Genta. As for who tampered with the thermos, I think we can find out by investigating the itinerary of those who went to the Domoto Music Academy today... By the way, can you, Miss Akita, go with me as the person involved?"

"Well, I don't mind, but this matter should be discussed with you..."

Before Akiba Reiko could finish her words, Sera Masumi hooked her arms around the boy's neck and hugged him, her tone clearly sour.

"Hey, brother, you were reluctant to go and see the explosion at Domoto Music Academy last week. Why did you take the initiative when you met Miss Akita?"

Yes, why?

Serabelle felt a little strange for a moment.

But he still found an excuse that sounded acceptable.

"…It's probably the difference between one happening right in front of me and the other happening a week later when I heard about it from you on the news?"

"Don't give me that. I think you just like mature older sisters."

Chapter 375: Qiu Ting Lianzi’s favor is up!

The perspective changes to the residential area of ​​Beika-cho 4-chome.

In the afternoon, under the setting sun at a 45-degree angle, Serabel and his group, who had just come out of Teitan Elementary School, were walking along the walls of the rows of single-family houses on the right side of the road.

In fact, according to Japanese traffic laws, you should drive on the left.

However, considering that there are generally no large vehicles in residential areas, and it is still far from the evening rush hour at this time, looking around the entire road, there are no cars or people, not even a dog to be seen, so it doesn't matter.

"By the way, Miss Qiu Ting is here with us too?"

Sonoko, who was following the three little ones side by side with Ran and Sera, looked back at Akiba Reiko who was walking beside Serabelle behind her, and couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.

In fact, her home is not on the way to Beika Town, but no matter what, she is good friends with Xiaolan and Sera. Since her two good friends have escorted her all the way, she, the eldest lady of Sonoko, can't just leave the school gate, get in a Rolls-Royce and leave.

And even though she blamed Yuan for being greedy and bringing trouble upon himself, Yuanzi actually liked these three little guys very much, so she was somewhat worried about them coming along.

But even Akiba Reiko, the seemingly unapproachable and noble girl, came along, which was something Sonoko had not expected.

"What can I do? It's not my will."

Reiko Akiba shifted her eyes to the side, and there was a lot of reluctance between the lines.

"No matter what, this little fat boy became like this because he drank my tea. I have to explain it clearly to his parents. Otherwise, what if I am held accountable in the future?"

"Well, I don't think that will happen..."

A drop of cold sweat slowly dripped down Miss Sonoko's forehead.

"That's not OK."

Reiko Akiba's attitude is very tough.

"Anyway, I have to explain it to his parents. Besides, how can a child be like this? Taking other people's things without their permission."

"Uh……"

Now I can’t even wash the garden.

Indeed, taking other people's things without their consent, or even drinking other people's tea without permission, is too much of a behavior even at an age when cats and dogs hate them.

boom--

At this moment, the low roar of a diesel engine suddenly came from the direction of the residential intersection behind the crowd.

"Be careful, there's a car coming from behind."

It was actually Reiko Akiba who spoke up to remind everyone.

She still had her arms folded across her chest with the demeanor of a cold queen. She didn't even open her eyes, let alone look back. She accurately determined the location of the vehicle behind her just by listening.

After hearing the Queen's words, everyone else moved to the side, except Serabelle, who seemed to have noticed something and glanced back once more.

Then he opened his eyes slightly.

That's right, the reason he looked back was because he noticed something was wrong with the engine sound.

Normally, the only cars that would appear in residential areas are small cars such as family cars, but family cars all run on gasoline and do not make the noise of a diesel engine.

Diesel engines are basically used in very high-powered means of transportation, such as buses that can carry dozens of passengers, and trucks that need to transport heavy goods.

And now, located behind them and preparing to turn the corner, was a mud truck with a front end long enough to cover the entire trail.

And judging from the condition of the truck bed, it was still an empty dump truck.

But why is the dump truck coming to a place like this instead of just parking at the construction site and waiting to transport soil?

Serabelle frowned: "That car..."

"Eh? What did you say, bro?"

Masumi Sera didn't quite hear clearly, so he turned around and asked.

But before Serabelle could answer, the sound of the diesel engine that had been running slowly at a low idle speed in the rear suddenly became loud and high-pitched. The huge car body weighing more than ten tons suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, accompanied by thick black smoke erupting from the rear of the car.

!! ?

Needless to say, everyone realized that something was wrong.

"Find a place to hide!"

Conan shouted, waving his arms vigorously.

The place they were in now was right in the middle of a whole row of single-family houses, with other people's walls on both sides and no alleys or lanes to go through.

However, humans can never outrun modern mechanical vehicles in a straight line.

The only way to survive is——

As he spoke, Conan had already taken quick action, relying on his small body after being shrunk into that of an elementary school student to squeeze through the gap in the iron railings of the courtyard gate, and then waved to his friends who were still outside.

"Ayumi! Mitsuhiko! Come in!"

"coming!"

"Conan still has a solution!"

"Ooooooo! Cough cough cough! Ooooooooooo!!!"

When Yuantai saw his friends crawling through the iron railings one by one, he suddenly became anxious.

Not to mention Conan and Ayumi, even Mitsuhiko is slim, but he has a big belly that makes him almost a smaller version of Dr. Agasa.

How is he supposed to get through? There's no way he can squeeze through!

Unfortunately, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't speak.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a strong young man grabbed the back of his collar with his hand, lifted Yuantai up with force, and threw him into the courtyard wall accurately by inertia.

At the same time, Masumi Sera and Xiaolan were not idle either. One of them was a karate champion and the other was a Jeet Kune Do master. The two high school girls nimbly climbed to the top of the wall with their hands, and then reached down at the same time.

"Garden!"

"Give me your hand!"

“Oh…oh…”

Yuanzi had no time to react at all. She just instinctively stretched out her hand, and was immediately grabbed by her two friends, one hand each. In the next second, her whole body flew high off the ground.

By this point everyone else had already hidden inside, leaving only Serabel and Akiba Reiko outside.

"Hey! The car is almost here, isn't it about time for us to..."

Reiko Akiba's eyes kept moving back and forth between Serabelle and the dump truck coming at high speed from behind.

She originally intended to hint to Serabelle to push her so that she could climb over the wall. After all, she was just a singer and it was impossible for her to climb over the wall!

However, Serabelle actually hugged her around the waist.

Without any further explanation, Serabelle began to run forward quickly.

This action completely confused Reiko Akiba.

What does this mean? Are you going to race against a dump truck?

There's no way you can outrun it!

Reiko Akiba really wanted to complain loudly, but the roar of the dump truck engine behind her and the smell of dust that was getting closer and closer to her face made her already fair cheeks even paler.

If this continues... I will be caught up... I will die...

As the dump truck got closer and closer, the dazzling sunlight shone on the high front windshield, and this thought slowly emerged in Reiko Akiba's mind.

Then, she heard the boy's voice above her head.

"Hold on."

Eh?

Although she didn't know why, Reiko Akiba subconsciously tightened her arms.

The next moment, she flew high into the sky.

To be precise, he was thrown away by someone.

Serabel threw Reiko Akiba high up into the courtyard wall diagonally above her like throwing a cement bag at a construction site. At the same time, she grabbed the upper edge of the wall next to her with one hand and jumped up. Her heel missed the dump truck by a hair's breadth. She flew in the air and caught the panicked Reiko Akiba, and the two of them rolled to the ground like a folding bag.

The dump truck outside the courtyard wall was caught off guard and the center of gravity was unstable due to the sudden steering wheel turn, and it overturned sideways. It moved nearly ten meters horizontally and hit the walls of two or three households before it stopped.

On the grass in the yard, Serabelle, who was covered in dust and dirt from falling to the ground, climbed up with one hand, and turned to look at Reiko Akiba who was still lying on the ground beside her and hadn't reacted.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Uh... no, nothing..."

Chapter 376: The Proud Queen

"Brother!"

"Sera-kun, are you okay?"

It was not until more than ten seconds had passed that the anxious shouts of Sera Masumi, Xiaolan and others were finally heard from outside the courtyard wall. It seemed that they had climbed out of the wall after the dump truck passed by.

Serabelle patted her butt and stood up from the ground. Relying on her height advantage, she poked her head out from behind the courtyard wall and waved to the outside.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"call……"

Although they were not close and the wall blocked the view of what was going on inside, the tiger-toothed girl who had been running over in a hurry breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was able to stand up and wave.

I guess it's really no big deal.

Inside the courtyard wall, Serabelle reached out her hand to Reiko Akiba who was still sitting on the ground.

"Get up and dust yourself off."

"Thanks……"

As soon as Reiko Akita said this, her eyes subconsciously fell on the boy's outstretched hand, when a small, dazzling flash of crimson suddenly entered her field of vision.

"Um, your hand is bleeding..."

She pointed blankly at the knuckles of Serabelle's middle and ring fingers on her left hand.

Ok?

After hearing this, Serabelle finally reacted and took back her hand to take a look.

"Oh, it really is..."

After all, even though he had been wearing thicker clothes as the weather had turned cold recently, and normally a fall like this wouldn't hurt his knees or something, but Serabelle didn't usually wear gloves, and he fell from a height of more than one meter with someone in his arms, so even if he landed on the grass, he would inevitably get scratched by stones and gravel.

"Wait a minute, I have a band-aid."

As Reiko Akiba spoke, she supported herself and climbed up, turned her backpack from the back to the front, lowered her head and searched for a while before taking out two Band-Aids.
