I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Oh yes, Shinichi, what time will that friend you mentioned come over tomorrow?"

"Eh?"

Conan was stunned, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have not really told Serabelle what time tomorrow would be, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

"He's probably around morning or noon, what's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just plan to prepare a little surprise for them when the time comes..."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Agasa scratched his gray hair, and a mischievous smile appeared on his fat old face.

"Anyway, I understand. Shinichi, be careful on your way back. There's no rush."

"I'll...try my best."

Conan's eyes wandered slightly.

It's not anything else, but mainly because he felt a little scared when he thought about Xiaolan's angry look with her hands on her hips when he said he had to go out so late before he came, and his calves seemed to have a lot more strength.

As soon as Dr. Agasa saw him like this, he knew what this kid was thinking. He couldn't help but laugh twice, and took out a bunch of car keys from behind his back.

"Forget it, I'll take you back."

"Uh, this isn't necessary, right?" Conan looked at his pajamas and felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter. Besides, it's important to take care of the feelings of those close to you."

Dr. Agasa patted his shoulder with a smile.

"Of course. If Xiaolan asks you about it after we get back to the office, it would be better for you to say that you walked back by yourself, Shinichi."

"...I understand the logic, but Doctor, can you at least take your house key with you? Otherwise, how are you going to get back later?"

"Ohhh! Yeah, I almost forgot. Luckily you reminded me, Shinichi!"

Chapter 42 Because I like you

The night was long, dawn finally arrived, and time passed quickly to the next day.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Serabelle drove to the hotel where she had booked a room for Miyano Akemi last night.

Although he said noon or afternoon yesterday, that was just a little margin to allow the other party enough time to find a suitable temporary residence.

Before going to bed last night, Conan sent a message saying that he had already reached an agreement with Professor Agasa and could move there today.

In that case, there's nothing wrong with being early.

Park the car and go upstairs.

Following the floor and house number in her memory, Serabelle quickly found Miyano Akemi's room and knocked on the door.

There was no immediate response of "coming" from inside the door, which was obviously the latter's cautious behavior. However, this caution seemed a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults at the moment.

After all, the biggest feature of the hotel's residential floors is quietness. Standing in the corridor, Serabelle can clearly hear something in the room behind the door approaching the door cautiously.

Then the peephole on the door lit up.

Serabelle waved at Cat's Eye with a determined look on her face.

Then the peephole closed again, and two seconds later, accompanied by a click, the door was slowly opened from the inside.

Still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, Miyano Akemi appeared behind the door. She smiled a little embarrassedly when she saw Serabelle outside and greeted her.

"Good morning, Sera-kun."

"Good morning. Remember yesterday I said I would help you find a safe place to live? If there is no problem on your side, Miss Miyano, we can go there directly now."

As Serabelle spoke, she observed the details of Miyano Akemi's face.

Judging from his slightly red and bloodshot eyes, he didn't sleep all night...

But that's true. After all, I just experienced such an exciting thing, and my sister is still missing. It's impossible for me to sleep well.

"Okay, wait a minute while I get my phone."

Miyano Akemi agreed immediately, then turned and walked into the room, picked up her cell phone from the bedside table, took the room card, and followed Serabel out.

This is indeed all the luggage she has now.

Because it was not yet noon, the room would not be counted as renewed for the next day, so the entire check-out process went smoothly and was completed without paying any extra fees.

Leaving the hotel lobby and getting into the car in the underground parking lot, Serabelle started the car and slowly stepped on the accelerator, saying at the same time.

"I'll give you a preview before we get there. You'll be staying at 2, Beika-cho 22-chome, Tokyo, for the next period of time. It's a villa area. The owner is a single elderly man named Dr. Agasa. As for his personality... according to the information, he's probably a mischievous old man. He's probably easygoing, so you don't need to worry about conflicts in your daily life."

"Yeah." Miyano Akemi didn't say much, just responded softly.

In less than half a minute, the black Audi drove out of the underground parking lot.

However, when they arrived at the hotel entrance, there were a few cars at the exit who seemed to be about to go out as well. They were queuing up and waiting for the bumper to be raised and lowered to let them out one by one.

Since Serabelle and her friends had just arrived, they were the last ones in line.

While waiting in line, Serabell took out a bank card and handed it to Akemi Miyano who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Regarding daily expenses, Miss Miyano, it is probably impossible for you to go out to work in your current situation. There is 400,000 yen in this card, you can use it first, but it is not recommended to go shopping. It is best to stay at home and shop online. Of course, this is just your pocket money. As for rent, utilities and food expenses, I will have another card to give to your landlord, you don't have to worry about it. And-"

After such a long speech, there was no response, and no one took the bank card in his hand. Serabelle paused for a moment and turned to look at the young woman next to her.

But he saw Miyano Akemi looking back at him blankly.

"Any questions?"

"Oh no……"

Miyano Akemi was startled, then waved her hands in panic.

"How should I put it? Should I say I'm embarrassed or I feel unworthy of it? Uh... that's it..."

She rambled on for a while, finally coming down to a stumbling sentence.

"Why is Sera-kun so nice to me?"

"what?"

Serabelle was stunned for two seconds, and a buffer icon appeared above her head.

As a trainee investigator in the MI6 executive department, the missions he received on a daily basis were basically of the type of "go where, kill who". Anyway, every time he arrived at the destination and hit the target to achieve master-level perfect stealth, he basically didn't need to use his brain too much.

As for whether the mission site will generate any social opinion, that is not something the executive department needs to consider. Polishing the action report is the job of the administrative department.

And even if there are occasional tasks that require thinking during the mission, Akai Mary will always help to get it done. She is like a powerful external brain.

But now the external brain cat is inconvenient to use in the hotel, and Serabelle is forced to face this problem alone.

Indeed, why should he be so nice to her?

From the perspective of not playing tricks, it is of course because the other party is the daughter of Sister Mary's sister, and both parties are on the same side, both are enemies of the Black Organization.

But Serabelle couldn't say that right now.

After all, if that were the case, there wouldn't be a need for him to come over and take care of it now.

So the question is, how should we say it?

Just say this is MI6's witness protection program?

No, that seems a bit far-fetched. Besides, how could there be a witness protection program that can be approved directly without the consent of the witness himself... It doesn't exist at all.

Furthermore, this would also expose the identity of MI6, which is not a good idea either.

Ah~ This is so troublesome. What should I say at this time? I just want to get away with it... Oh, there is a way!

As if the clever Moffitt had suddenly grown a brain, a large light bulb lit up above Serabelle's head with a "ding".

He took a deep breath, focused his tongue, and looked solemn as if he was uttering the six-word mantra.

"because I like you."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere in the car fell silent for a moment.

Miyano Akemi's brain seemed to have completely shut down, and after staring at Serabell blankly for a while, she blinked twice quickly.

Blink twice more, blink twice more, start blinking continuously, blinking wildly... keep blinking! Stop!

Finally, after the repeated confirmation process in her brain ran at full speed up to three times per second for ten seconds, Miyano Akemi quickly held her cheeks, which suddenly heated up to hot, and uttered a long exclamation.

"Eh!!?"

Chapter 43: Beihua Town’s main focus is a hardcore

As we all know, there is no such thing as premature love in Japan.

This has also led to many people having already been in love in junior high school or even elementary school, and having tasted the forbidden fruit in high school.

So for Japanese people, if they have not had a relationship by high school, they will basically be labeled as a "failure".

Maybe it’s easier for men, but especially for girls, it is actually a very shameful thing to be a solo student until high school.

And she, Akemi Miyano, is an older single woman who has made no contribution to Japan's declining birthrate society. She has indeed been single for 25 years, the same length of time as her age.

Of course, this is not because she has any defects or special orientation, but due to other objective factors...such as family environment.

Since her parents brought her into the organization due to work reasons when she was very young, Miyano Akemi understood the difference between her family and ordinary families very early on, and gave up the idea of ​​living her life as an ordinary person.

From childhood to adulthood, whether it is the choice of residence or the school to attend, there has been more or less intervention from organizations. In order not to cause trouble to others, Miyano Akemi also tries her best to keep a distance from all non-organized people around her, regardless of gender.

This also led to the fact that in the past 25 years of her life, Akemi Miyano has hardly developed any feelings for any opposite sex. The only one was... no, that couldn't even be called a favorable impression. To be more precise, it could only be considered that she was relatively familiar with him and there was a possibility of developing a favorable impression.

After all, the other party joined the organization through her, and to some extent, they can be considered people from the same world.

But now, she was confessed to by a boy who was almost a generation younger than her!

And judging from the other party's expression and tone, it doesn't sound like he's joking at all.

What should I do? What should I do?

Can I agree to this? Probably not...

But how should I say no? I can't just say no. After all, he is my lifesaver, so I have to be more tactful...

Woo~ But how should I say it? No matter how I think about it, it’s impossible to reject a confession in a tactful way, but if I say something vague, it will make people feel like I’m leaving you hanging…

Hurry up and start using your brain. Don't stop here. Sera-kun is still waiting for my answer...

The scenery outside the car window swept past one after another without stopping. Sitting in the passenger seat, Miyano Akemi looked ahead with empty eyes, her heart in turmoil.

Serabelle had no idea how much of a stir her one sentence had caused in Miyano Akemi's heart.

He could only see the latter staring straight ahead without saying a word, his lips moving silently, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was saying nothing.

But this is not important. At least it’s good enough that he can concentrate on driving.

As the saying goes, there are thousands of roads, but safety is the first. It is always a good idea to avoid being distracted while driving.

There was no conversation along the way.

Twenty minutes later, a black Audi stopped quietly in front of a white round villa on the quiet Beika-cho 2-chome road.

Serabelle had never met Dr. Agasa before. He came here following the precise address given by Conan.

The gate of the villa was closed, and some bed sheets and quilt covers were drying in the yard in front of the gate.

Take a look at the house number.

——Ali House.

Okay, this is it.

"We're here." Serabelle turned off the engine and pulled the handbrake.

"……oh oh!"

As if waking up from a dream, it took Miyano Akemi two seconds to react from the moment she heard the sound. She hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt, and her eyes couldn't help but glance secretly in the direction of Serabelle on the left.

My cheeks are still hot.
