"Forget it, forget it, let's not eat this. I'll take you out to eat."

Chapter 535: Sera-kun is my only friend now!

Considering that the building where Kisaki Eri's law firm is located is just across the street from the commercial plaza in the city center, and the fact that both of them are on the law firm's white-list, it is convenient for them to come and go, so simply going out for a meal is not a big deal.

The scene changes to a ramen restaurant on the second floor of a commercial plaza in the city center. Serabelle and Xiaolan sit facing each other on the inside, each with a bowl of steaming char siu ramen in front of them.

The unicorn girl, who had lost all her memories of her life, stared blankly at the food on the table in front of her with her head half lowered. After hesitating for a long while, she carefully picked up the chopsticks and nodded stiffly to Serabelle who was sitting across the table.

"Um...thank you. I'm ready to start."

I have to say that although it was just an ordinary bowl of ramen, it was not expensive and it was not particularly delicious, but at least it looked more appetizing than the loving breakfast that Kisaki Eri made herself in the office before.

At least it's edible and not at all unpalatable.

While Xiaolan was still expressing her thanks and praying, Serabel, who was British and had no habit of praying, had already picked up the bowl and started eating. The rising hot steam blurred his expression.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a bowl of ramen anyway. It's not something expensive. Besides, there's no need to worry so much between friends."

"Friend...?"

Xiaolan had already taken a bite of noodles and was slurping them with the chopsticks in one hand, while with the other hand she lifted the hair that fell beside her cheek.

Hearing the boy's words, she barely raised her head from the bowl with the half-finished ramen in her mouth, and cast a confused and slightly curious look from bottom to top, looking like a hamster sucking noodles.

"So we were friends before? Sorry, I really don't remember, but I heard Mom call you 'Bell' yesterday?"

"Serabel, this is my name."

Serabelle picked out a piece of barbecued pork from the noodles and took a bite.

"And actually, if I really want to call us friends, we can't really be considered friends. Well, how should I put it? Calling us friends directly seems a bit too familiar. If I say we're just acquaintances, it doesn't seem that strange. We should be considered ordinary friends, right?"

"Ordinary friends... So I don't have many friends?"

Xiaolan seems to be particularly curious about her interpersonal relationships before she lost her memory.

"You have few friends?" Serabelle stopped eating her noodles, put down the bowl and glanced up. "Why do you say that?"

"because--"

The unicorn girl swallowed the food in her mouth, and the confused expression on her face became slightly more serious.

"Normally speaking, if a person loses his memory or becomes ill, shouldn't her best friend be the one who insists on staying by her side? And now it's you, Sera-kun, who's with me. So if even you, Sera-kun, are just an ordinary friend, then wouldn't I have few friends before?"

Um? ?

Although it is not true, it does seem to make sense at first glance.

"No, that's not the case."

The 1988 World Cup has attracted 100 million viewers, and 15 million viewers have been robbed.

"It's just because today is Sunday."

"Oh, so today is Sunday..."

Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully.

Then she suddenly realized.

"Wait, but what does this have to do with Sunday?"

"Because school is closed on Sunday."

Serabelle continued to explain.

"Your amnesia happened last night, and it's only been fifteen hours. Plus, today is the weekend, so no one would notice anything unusual even if you don't go to school. But if you still don't go to school tomorrow, Monday, they would definitely notice it."

"Then when 'Mom' comes back, I'll discuss with her about going to school tomorrow..."

For some reason, Xiaolan seems to mind making other people worry because of her.

Serabelle continued to eat noodles with the bowl in her hand, and a sound without much fluctuation came from behind the bowl.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you've lost your memory, don't even think about going to school."

"But in that case, the homework will be ..."

"So do you remember what we taught in school last week?"

"Eh?"

The sudden interruption made Xiaolan fall into silence. She put down her chopsticks, lowered her head and thought for a long time before shaking her head slightly.

“I don’t quite remember that.”

"That's fine. Since you don't remember anything, you won't understand even if you go."

Serabelle ate the noodles calmly.

"Besides, falling behind on homework is a minor matter. The key issue right now is that the murderer has not been found yet. If you run around outside alone, the murderer will most likely take advantage of you being alone and kill you."

"Murderer...does that mean someone wants to hurt me?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaolan did not show much fear about this fact, but was just thinking about it seriously.

"That's how it is, in simple terms." Serabelle said, "Generally speaking, martial arts masters lose all their martial arts skills after losing their memories. To use a very classic saying, just because you can break a stone tablet with your bare hands when you are young doesn't mean you won't have a herniated disc when you are old, so I don't recommend you learn from Wuming."

"nameless?"

"A person who likes to play the erhu when he is at full health and wander around the map when he is at low health."

"Ah, speaking of this..."

Having said this, Xiaolan seemed to suddenly remember something. She put down her chopsticks, looked up at the ceiling, and touched the corner of her lips with her index finger.

"This morning, when 'Mom' left the office, she told me not to go out alone. Even if I wanted to go out, I had to tell her and she would go with me. But I hadn't sent her a message when I left just now. I'm going to tell her now..."

"no need."

The voice came from across the table, and Serabelle took out her cell phone and shook it.

"I've already told my aunt."

Displayed on the screen were chat messages between him and Kisaki Eri, and he took a photo of himself and the unicorn girl eating noodles, which happened to be the scene where Xiaolan was concentrating on eating the noodles when the noodles were just served.

"H-When did you take this photo, Sera-kun?"

When Xiaolan saw herself eating, her cheeks suddenly felt a little hot.

"Just now." Serabelle was very honest.

"Woo..."

The unicorn girl cupped her cheeks.

Serabelle had already finished the remaining noodles by this time. She picked up the bowl, drank the soup, and put it down.

"Okay, let's eat the noodles quickly. If you're really worried about your aunt, we should go back quickly."

"Oh oh."

After hearing this, Xiaolan obediently continued to eat noodles.

Serabelle also took out her cell phone and took two more photos and sent them to Feiying.

As the shutter sounded, Xiaolan suddenly raised her head again.

"Oh, there's one more thing I just remembered. It was what the little brother named Conan said last night. He seemed to mean that I know someone named Kudo Shinichi. Does Sera-kun know who he is?"

"Yes, I know him. He is your classmate."

Serabelle told everything without hiding anything.

"She was also your childhood sweetheart. It's probably more like a friend than a lover. I don't know more details. After all, like I said, we weren't that familiar with each other."

"That's it..."

Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, she suddenly smiled.

"But it doesn't matter. At least for me now, Sera-kun is my only friend!"

Chapter 536 Xiaolan: Why am I sitting at the door?

After finishing their noodles, the two went straight back to the business building.

When Serabelle and Xiaolan took the elevator back to the office upstairs, the front lobby of the office was still quiet and there was no one in the office.

"It seems that 'Mom' hasn't come back yet..."

Xiaolan walked around the office but couldn't find Kisaki Eri, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

After all, even though Kisaki Eri said before she left that she could do whatever she wanted, for the unicorn girl who had lost all her memories, this place that should have been as familiar as if it were engraved in her DNA now felt as unfamiliar as coming to a completely new environment.

It's like being at the home of someone you've just met for a short time.

If it was someone else's house, how could she just rummage through things?

So for a moment Xiaolan fell into an awkward state of neither sitting nor standing. She felt uncomfortable even just sitting on the sofa outside, and she didn't even know where to put her hands.

At the same time, Serabelle, who had left the office earlier and gone to the hall outside to boil some water, pushed the door open and walked in, holding two cups in her hands. Hot steam was emanating from the cups, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee wherever she passed.

Walking around the desk to the unicorn girl, Serabelle handed her one of the red cups.

"Give."

"Thanks……"

Xiaolan thanked him and took it. Now she finally had a place to put her hands.

However, the atmosphere in the office remained quiet.

The unicorn girl picked up the coffee cup, blew on it, took a sip, put it down and let out a light breath.

"that……"

"Well?"

"Actually, I wanted to say——"

Xiaolan paused slightly, and the ten fingers of her hands holding the cup moved subconsciously, turning the angle of the cup less than ten degrees.

Then she raised her face, looked at the boy standing next to her, and spoke in a serious tone again.

"Sera-kun, could you please tell me about what kind of person I was in the past... I don't mean my life experience, I mean my personality."

? ?

Serabelle was originally drinking coffee and glancing at her sideways, but upon hearing this, she stopped and put down the coffee cup in her hand.

"Although it's strange for you to ask me this question, I'm still a little curious why you ask this question, Ms. Maori. Are you going to role-play?"

"role play?"

"Although I'm not sure if you're going to do this specifically, for example, even though you haven't recovered your past memories at all, in order to make your family and friends happy and relieved, you pretend to have remembered the past events and get along with them. Although this is also in line with your previous personality, Miss Maori, if that's the case, I still don't recommend it."

"That's not the case."

Xiaolan freed one hand and scratched her face a little embarrassedly.

"I'm just curious, and I think if I know some of the things I did in the past, I might be able to use this as an opportunity to remember more things."

Ok……

Serabelle stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then put the coffee cup in her hand down on the table. She put her right hand around the unicorn girl's neck and grasped the mouse on the table on the other side. She clicked the monitoring software icon on the computer desktop through the screen to open it.

"What is this?" Xiaolan didn't understand.

“Actual images are always more concrete than verbal descriptions.”

Serabelle said as she opened the folder where the video footage was saved on her computer.

"Also, as I said, we weren't that familiar with each other before. If you really want me to tell you what you've done before, Ms. Maori, I probably only know that you once won the Kanto region's high school karate tournament."

"Karate tournament winner? Me?"

Xiaolan had a confused look on her face.

But it's no wonder. In her current state, she has even forgotten who she is. And if you just look at her appearance, no one would associate this seemingly weak and quiet unicorn girl with a fighting champion.

"Well... okay, I got it."
