I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

So Aunt Tomoko would rather not tell anyone and just meet in private. If it succeeds, that’s another story, but if it fails, everyone can just pretend nothing happened.

But now he had to bring it up in the open, in front of so many people. This was definitely a heavy blow to Yuanzi.

Even she, a good friend, can't do anything when something like this happens. She can only rely on time to heal everything...

Xiaolan thought.

On the other side, Inspector Megure, who had already checked all the alibis, coughed lightly.

"Well, now that everyone's alibis have been assembled, there's nothing to worry about for now."

There is nothing to worry about. In other words, everyone can go back to their homes.

Hearing this, Kusaka Hironari shrugged his shoulders quite easily.

"Okay, in that case I'll take my leave now. It's time for lunch, and I have to go back this afternoon to revise my new script."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mori and others said that since things had come to this, they should eat first.

Conan originally wanted to come up and hold Serabelle to say something, but unexpectedly, before he even walked in, Reiko Akiba took the lead and took the boy's arm first.

It's like declaring sovereignty.

"Let's go back to the room first." said Reiko Akita.

"Yes." Serabel agreed.

After leaving the meeting room, Serabell and Reiko Akiba walked in front, followed by Mrs. Suzuki with a calm expression and Suzuki Sonoko who looked sad.

"Garden."

"……what?"

Hearing her mother's voice coming from beside her, Sonoko, who was still immersed in the grief of being a loser, was stunned for a while before she reacted.

Looking at her daughter like this, Mrs. Suzuki smiled helplessly.

"Although I failed this time, there's no need to be too pessimistic. Mom will continue to help me find solutions."

"Eh?"

Yuanzi was stunned again, and suddenly reacted and grabbed her mother's wrist.

"Wait...wait a minute, Mom, you're not planning to..."

"What are you planning?" Suzuki Tomoko asked back.

"For example..."

Yuanzi suddenly found it difficult to speak.

"Something that would hurt Sera-kun or Miss Akita?"

Ok?

Suzuki Tomoko raised her eyebrows slightly, not expecting her daughter to say such a thing.

"No, of course not. Mommy won't hurt anyone."

"Really?"

"Really, Mommy promises."

Chapter 506: It’s almost like I’ll break it for you!

The perspective changes, and after leaving the meeting room, Serabelle and Reiko Akiba return to the room.

To be honest, it was already lunch time and almost all the passengers were heading towards the restaurant, so Serabel didn't know why Reiko Akiba wanted to go back to the room at this time.

But since she wants to, just listen to her.

Anyway, you won’t starve to death if you arrive a little later. What’s more, the restaurant on the cruise ship serves food 24 hours a day, so there is no need to worry about missing meal times.

only--

"Pity?"

As the door to the room closed behind her, Serabelle called out softly.

Reiko Akiba didn't say a word along the way until she entered the room and heard the young man's voice behind her, then she reacted a little.

Her shoulders shook slightly at first, and after a pause, she suddenly turned around and gave Serabel an extremely strong hug.

The hug was so strong that Serabelle almost felt a slight pressure in her lungs.

Reiko Akiba pressed her cheek against the boy's chest, listening quietly to the strong beating of the heart in his chest.

Her own voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"Bell..."

"Ok?"

"I won't let you leave me."

Although Reiko Akiba's voice was soft, her tone was firm and resolute, which made even Serabel stunned for a moment.

"I didn't say I was leaving..."

"I know."

Qiuting Lianzi interrupted directly.

"But I'm not just talking about now, I'm also talking about the future. I won't let you leave me in the future."

"it is good."

"What do you mean good?"

"It means... 'Okay, I won't leave you'," said Serabelle.

"really?"

"real."

"really?"

"real."

This was indeed an extremely childish conversation, but Akiba Reiko kept asking questions bit by bit, and Serabelle answered them bit by bit without getting tired of it.

Until she is completely satisfied.

About ten minutes passed like this, and Reiko Akiba, who was hugging him tightly like an octopus, suddenly moved.

Serabelle thought she was hungry, so she decided to take a break and eat first.

However, Reiko Akiba simply changed her cheek and continued to stick close to him.

"To be honest, even though I was tough with Mrs. Suzuki in the conference room, I was actually very scared."

"Fear?"

Serabelle thought to herself that he didn't see it. It should be said that no one present at the time saw that this talented female singer was afraid at all. She was clearly full of energy and wanted to have a one-on-one boxing match on the spot, and the loser would have to leave.

Akita Reiko nodded: "Yes, but it's not Mrs. Suzuki that I'm afraid of."

"That is……"

Serabelle had almost guessed what she was going to say next.

"I'm afraid you'll agree to her."

When she brought up the old topic again, there was still a slight tremor in Reiko Akiba's voice.

"Actually, I regretted it a little bit after I asked her why she wanted to meet you in private. After all, judging from Miss Sonoko's reaction yesterday, she probably likes you. So it's obvious why Mrs. Suzuki wanted to talk to you in private. But at that time, I couldn't control my emotions and blurted it out."

"After I finished questioning her, my mind went blank. I was thinking about what would happen if you, Bell, really agreed to her proposal. After all, no matter from which aspect, I can't compare with Miss Sonoko. Except that I may sing better than her, the rest of my family background and wealth are far beyond my reach."

"So you're worried that I will really choose Yuanzi?" Serabelle was a little helpless.

In fact, the topic has completely gone off track at this point, because although Mrs. Suzuki mentioned something about Sonoko last night, she really just "mentioned it briefly".

As for why I said this today, to put it bluntly, it was to deal with Inspector Megure's investigation of his alibi.

If we have to say who is the real loser in this round of battle, it would probably be Miss Sonoko.

Not only did he achieve the achievement of "it was obviously me who was here first", but he was also used as a shield by his own mother. This is truly the worst thing.

"A little bit."

Reiko Akiba also calmed down at this time, and with a slightly blushing face, she admitted it in a low and proud voice.

"Although I also think it's almost impossible, there is no zero probability in probability, and if it happens, it's 100%, so I was very scared at the time. What if you really agreed? Then I can only..."

"Only?"

Serabelle asked curiously.

Akita Reiko curled her lips and said, "I guess I can only jump off the boat. After all, not only was my fiancé kidnapped, but he was kidnapped in public. No matter how I think about it, I have no face left to continue living."

"It's okay. Even if you really jump down, Lianzi, I will follow you and pull you out." said Serabel.

"…Did you really want me to jump?"

Reiko Akita changed her offensive.

"Didn't you, Lianzi, bring it up yourself..." Serabelle was helpless again, "And I was just saying if, if."

"If that doesn't work!"

Reiko Akita pretended to be angry.

"What's the point of fishing it out? It sounds so hypocritical!"

"hypocritical?"

Serabelle didn't understand the logic here and thought it was hypocritical to pull the person out of the water.

Reiko Akita's eyes became increasingly dissatisfied.

"You only said you would be responsible for fishing it out. Doesn't that give people the feeling that 'You can die if you want, but at least don't die in front of me'?"

Ah~ So this is what it means.

Serabelle understood now and nodded.

"Then let me add that out of humanitarianism, considering the risk of catching a cold by soaking in the sea water in this season, and because the incident was caused by me, I also need to take some responsibility, so I will do my best to help with the auxiliary work of expelling cold and dampness to ensure that there will be no excessive discomfort when the menstrual period comes next month."

"……What's the meaning?"

Reiko Akiba was confused by this long and difficult entry-level sentence and frowned in dissatisfaction.

"And why is it next month's period?"

"If you want, Lianzi, we can continue until ten months later..."

Serabelle added.

Ten months later?

The strange timing only took Akita Reiko two seconds to be confused this time, and her pretty face immediately flushed.

"Stupid, stupid! Who would want to do that with you when you're like that? I'd rather just break it for you!"

"Oh, really?"

Hearing this, Serabelle reached out her hands and hugged Reiko Akiba, while one of her hands slowly reached down.

Realizing the boy's actions and intentions, Reiko Akiba's face turned even redder and she hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Stop! We're about to eat. Let's talk about it after we eat. Besides, I'm just talking... um~"

Because of this sentence, Reiko Akiba's lunch time was forced to be postponed by twenty minutes.

Chapter 507: He's not going to marry his daughter to you, is he?

In the end, Reiko Akiba paid the price for her "little threat" with some physical strength and a little body fluids.

The scene changes to a familiar restaurant.

Although there was some minor commotion in the morning due to the arrival of the police helicopter, it had completely subsided by lunch time, and everyone returned to their normal state of eating and drinking.
