I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"That's not actually it..."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but still explained the fact that it was actually Serabelle who bought the milk tea.

After hearing this, Sonoko quickly lost interest in gossip.

"Oh, I see. So it was Saira-kun who bought it for you and your aunt nearby. That's fine... Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's time to go skiing!"

"I'll get the protective gear and be right back!"

Seeing her friend turning around and walking towards the cashier, Xiaolan quickly raised her voice and shouted.

After shouting, the unicorn girl fell into deep thought again.

She vaguely remembered that Serabelle said that they were "queuing up" to buy milk tea at a nearby milk tea shop, and if she was not mistaken, she and Serabelle arrived at her mother's office at about the same time, at most the time it took to go up and down the elevator.

According to Sonoko, if the order quantity was 2, that means she and her mother's milk tea was bought by Serabelle after she bought her own.

But is that amount of time really enough?

But if not, doesn't that mean...Sera-kun only bought two copies from the beginning?

And one of them is definitely not hers.

But if that's the case...

Especially the strange smell in my mother's office, the underwear that fell on the floor, and the extremely unnatural reaction.

Could it be that……

Xiaolan shuddered and dared not think about it anymore, but this was not something she could control subjectively. The emotion of doubt was like a huge whirlpool, which would carry her thoughts down even if she didn't actively think about it.

No, it's absolutely impossible. How could Mom and Sera-kun do such a thing!

Shaking her head vigorously in an attempt to get rid of the complicated thoughts in her mind, Xiaolan resolutely turned around and walked towards the cashier counter with her skis and protective gear.

She just hoped that the cold wind from the snowy mountains would bring her back to consciousness.

Chapter 471 Zhenchun: Damn, the power generation was almost discovered

With the mentality of eating, drinking and playing whatever I want, the first day in Kitanosawa Village passed like this.

Time came to evening in a blink of an eye.

Due to its location in the mountains, it gets dark early, so even though it was only 5:30 Tokyo time, the surrounding mountains were already pitch black and windy.

In contrast, Kitanosawa Village, which is still brightly lit in the wind and snow, is like the last gathering place of human civilization and glory.

Even so, there would be basically no one outside the houses in Kitanozawa Village at this point.

The vendors who did business during the day packed up their stalls and returned to their residences, the local villagers also went home, and the tourists all retreated to the hotel, enjoying a delicious dinner in the restaurant on the first floor with the warm air brought by the air conditioner.

"Hmm~ This omelette rice is delicious. Why don't you try it too?"

At the dinner table, Masumi Sera excitedly shared the omelette rice he ordered with Ran, Sonoko and Ayako.

Serabel was also at the girls' table, but since he also ordered omelette rice, he didn't need to share with his sister.

He just ate his meal steadily and watched the girls happily exchanging delicious food.

What is more surprising is that Suzuki Ayako also participated in it very enthusiastically.

But think about it, although she is Sonoko's older sister in terms of seniority, she is still in school and is currently a graduate student at university. She is only a few years older than Xiaolan and Masumi.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Sonoko suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to the young man sitting next to Sera Masumi across the table.

"Speaking of which, Masumi and Sera-kun, I haven't seen you for a while when I first arrived at the ski resort this afternoon. Where have you been? Did you go on an adventure with that brat Conan?"

"Conan?"

Serabelle was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that the reason Conan was mentioned was probably because the latter had gone to investigate the people who opposed the construction of the reservoir that year.

He shook his head to explain.

"No, because Zhenchun said that he wanted to go to the ski resort next to the snowmobile, so we went to the other side first."

"Oh, that motorcycle..."

Somehow, as soon as the snowmobile was mentioned, Yuanzi immediately rolled his eyes in pain.

"In the afternoon, the three kids kept clamoring to ride motorcycles, but there is a height limit for that thing, and none of us, my sister, Lan, or I, can ride a motorcycle. If something that heavy flips over, it's no joke."

"Then let brother take Ayumi and the others out to play tomorrow~" Masumi Sera said with a smile, patting his shoulder.

"I do not want it……"

Serabelle also rolled her eyes, which was rare.

Are you kidding? He doesn't like taking care of children.

As if they had expected Serabelle to refuse, the three girls opposite them all laughed softly with their hands covering their mouths as soon as the words came out of their mouths.

The young people here are having a great time eating together, but the table of old and young people next door are not so lucky.

Oh, to be precise, the only one with a look of despair on his face was Kogoro Mouri, and the low pressure emitted by him alone covered the entire table.

If you get closer, you can hear him muttering something cool like bathing with baboons.

I guess he was stubborn and went to the mixed bathing hot spring in the mountains, intending to have a wonderful encounter with a young and beautiful woman, but he didn't expect to meet a mountain baboon... maybe even a female baboon in estrus.

In this way, time passed quickly and it was after dinner. The wind and snow outside finally stopped a little. The shadows of the trees on both sides of the road no longer swayed. Only tiny snowflakes fell slowly under the warm light emitted by the street lamps.

If you just look through the window from inside the house, it's quite cozy.

But even so, Serabelle didn't plan to go out.

After all, although having wind and not having wind are two completely different things in this weather of minus ten degrees Celsius, it doesn't mean it will be much warmer without wind. It's just not as cold as when there is wind.

To sum up, the best option is to go back to your room, take a shower and go to bed early, so that you have enough energy to continue playing the next day.

The scene then switches to the second floor of the hotel.

Inside the guest room, the bathroom door was pushed open from the inside.

Accompanied by the rising mist, Serabelle came out wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, holding a heavy electric kettle in her hand.

He returned to the guest bedroom carrying a kettle, turned around to look at Masumi Sera who was playing with his mobile phone beside the bed, and coughed lightly.

"Majun, you can go take a shower now."

"Oh, right up!"

The girl with tiger teeth answered very quickly. She quickly put her phone down and plugged in the charging cable on the bedside table. Then she stood up and walked towards the bathroom. When she passed by Serabelle, she couldn't help but glance at her twice more, covering it up with a strange smile.

"Then I'm going to take a shower, brother, please don't peek~"

"..."

If Yukiko or Eri Kisaki said this, Serabel would think it was a tease.

But as for Zhenchun...logically speaking, is there any need for me to peek at her?

Shrugging silently in her heart, Serabelle carried the kettle to the window side of the guest room and placed the electric kettle, which had been filled with water in advance, on the base on the coffee table next to the windowsill.

You know, people will feel thirsty after taking a shower. Instead of waiting for Zhenchun to come out and yell for water after taking a shower, it is better to boil a pot of water in advance and let it cool down so that you can drink it when you want.

Here, Serabel had just put the kettle on the table, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of three small figures outside the window.

Huh?

Because it looked so familiar, Serabelle subconsciously turned back to take another look.

It turned out to be the three little guys, Yuan Tai, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko.

They actually sneaked out of the hotel in the middle of the night, dressed in bulky clothes like they were marching at night, taking all kinds of warm-keeping measures, and then ran towards the ski resort in the distance with their backs hunched, leaving a series of small footprints on the snow.

What are you going for?

Skiing late at night?

Serabelle couldn't understand, but for safety reasons she opened the window and shouted towards the cold air outside.

"Where are you going so late?"

!

As if they were caught in a prank, the three little ones who were tiptoeing downstairs in the hotel and trying to sneak out were all startled when they heard Serabelle's voice coming from above and behind them.

Then... he actually spread his legs and ran without looking back.

Yuantai, in particular, actually pinched his nose and tried to fake a voice, shouting in a muffled voice while running away without looking back.

"Who are you? We don't know you. You've got the wrong person!"

???

Serabelle opened her mouth slightly, and slowly typed out several question marks in amazement.

……

At the same time, in the bathroom, Sera Masumi was lying in the bathtub with no ripples on the water surface.

She immersed her entire body from the collarbone down in the warm bath water, and beneath the water, her fingertips slowly slid across her flat and firm belly, then continued down.

Sera Masumi raised her face and closed her eyes, her lips and teeth opening and closing gently, as if she was rehearsing something in her mind based on the touch of her body, and she uttered unclear words while murmuring.

"Brother..."

However, just as he got started, the sudden hurried footsteps outside the bathroom door startled Masumi Sera awake.

She was about to put away her posture and pretend to take a normal shower, but she heard Serabelle's voice coming through the bathroom door.

"I have something to do and will be back in a while."

"..."

Chapter 472: The Xuanguan Battle Plan Failed

Conan learned the news two minutes later from Serabelle who knocked on the door. He was halfway through taking a shower in his room, and there was still a big ball of bubbles on his head when he opened the door.

A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at the ski resort where they had visited during the day.

When I arrived at the carport with the chain at the door untied, I saw that among the snowmobiles that should have been neatly parked, there was a gap, as if one was missing.

There was also a snow dent the width of a car extending from the carport to the track in the distance at dusk.

"These guys..."

Conan slapped his forehead and sighed.

He recalled that when they were having dinner before, Genta Mitsuhiko and the other man were still chattering about snowmobiles, praising them highly and looking very yearning for them.

Conan thought they were just talking about it, and at worst they could ask Uncle Kogoro to take them for a drive a few times tomorrow and that would be it.

But he never expected that the three men had such a big order. Not only did they sneak out in the middle of the night, but they also drove out on snowmobiles that they were simply unable to control with their physique.

What's more, even at the top of the mountain, where there was no wind and it was so quiet, there was no sound of snowmobile engines. It was obvious that these guys were so addicted to racing that they had already run off the track and no one knew where they were going.

"But it's not bad. It hasn't snowed heavily since dinner."

Conan leaned over and touched the traces left by the snowmobile on the ground to comfort himself.

"The traces are still very clear. As long as we follow the traces, we should be able to find them."

After he said that, he took off the skateboard from his shoulders and put it on the ground.

Serabelle was watching in amazement, mainly because he clearly saw that when Conan put the skateboard on the snow, the four wheels underneath automatically turned horizontally and became like a snowboard.

"You can... use this in the snow?"

"sure."

Conan stepped on the button on the skateboard, and suddenly, accompanied by the sound of the turbine spinning, a huge airflow gushed out from the engine-like device at the rear, pushing the skateboard forward rapidly, turning a corner on the snow in front of the carport and returning to Serabel.

Conan jumped down nimbly, picked up the skateboard and shook off the snow on it.

"This time, we are investigating the construction of Kitanosawa Dam, so I asked the doctor to modify it before coming. Not only can it travel on snow, but it can also be used as a surfboard on water."

"..."

Serabelle didn't know what to say anymore.

Just imagine, the reason a surfboard can float on the water is because it is hollow inside and the overall density is small enough to provide sufficient buoyancy.

As a motorized skateboard, it is not only as big as an ordinary skateboard, but also can realize the deformation function, and its overall density is even much smaller than that of an ordinary skateboard?
