I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"But just now Sonoko said she was stuck in traffic in the city center and it will probably take another five minutes to get there."

"Then wouldn't it be a good idea for you to go down now?"

Serabelle urged.

"Besides, if you two met at the entrance of the square, Sonoko and Xiaolan would come in from the outside, and you would be the only one going out from the inside. Wouldn't it be troublesome to explain then?"

"Oh, I know, I know. Brother, if you continue like this, you're going to become like mom."

Sera Masumi thought about it carefully and realized that this was true. She was forced to get off the bed. The moment she stood up on her feet, she yawned again and complained incoherently.

"Really? I was still feeling unsatisfied just now, but now that I've calmed down, I'm inexplicably feeling sleepy."

As she complained, she deftly put on all the clothes scattered on the ground, then moved forward to hug Serabel and kissed her, then waved her hand reluctantly.

"Then I'll go first. Brother, remember to go to the front desk to refund the money later. There is still an hour of internet fee left."

"I see. Then what time will you come back in the evening?" Serabel asked again.

The girl with tiger teeth paused for a moment after hearing this, and thought for a moment with her lips touching.

"Hmm, around eight o'clock? If nothing goes wrong, it'll be after dinner. Then we'll see if Sonoko and the others want to go to the movies. Anyway, I'll be back before ten o'clock. Remember to tell mom for me."

"it is good."

"See you later then~"

After receiving a positive response from his brother, Sera Masumi pushed open the door and left the box briskly.

Serabelle pulled out a black garbage bag provided free of charge by the Internet cafe from under the table, cleaned up the garbage and traces generated by the "gaming" in the box over the past two hours, then tied a knot to seal the mouth, preparing to take the bag outside to the lobby and throw it into the public trash can.

However, just as he finished all the gestures and was about to leave and go to the front desk to refund the Internet fee, a familiar girl walked in from outside and blocked his way at the door.

Um! ?

Serabelle subconsciously raised her head quickly, but when she looked carefully, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

A warm, angelic smile and the familiar pointed horns on the head.

And then there was the usual soft voice.

"What's wrong, Sera-kun? Are you surprised to see me here?"

Chapter 552: Sera-kun doesn’t want his mother to be difficult, right?

At the same time, at 3:05 pm, in front of a commercial plaza in central Tokyo, a black luxury sedan with the Suzuki Group logo printed on it slowly stopped beside a busy road.

The rear door of the car was pushed open from the inside, and a high school girl wearing a headband bent down and walked out of the back seat, then stood up. After looking around at the bustling streets of Tokyo, she suddenly smiled brightly and waved with one hand.

"Oi~ Sera-san, this way~"

"Ah, Sonoko-san, you're here."

On the other side, Sera Masumi, who had just come out of the commercial plaza, happened to see the Sonoko family's car on the roadside. Seeing the latter get out of the car and waved to greet them, she immediately waved and went to greet them.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Sera-san?"

Yuanzi said a little embarrassedly, feeling that he was late due to traffic jam.

However, a certain tiger-fanged girl scratched her cheek guiltily.

"That's not the case~"

After all, strictly speaking, they were supposed to meet after lunch in the afternoon, but due to her own reasons, the meeting time was pushed back by two hours.

So if we have to say who is waiting for whom, it should be Xiaolan and Sonoko who are waiting for her.

Not to mention that a quarter of an hour ago she was happily "connecting" with Serabel in the Internet cafe box on the fourth floor of the square.

Fortunately, Yuanzi is a carefree person and didn't care about her friends' slightly strange reactions.

Now that two of the three had arrived, she naturally began to look for the remaining one.

"By the way, where's Lan?"

"I don't know. He probably hasn't arrived yet. Let me take a look..."

Sera Masumi really didn't know. As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and looked at the small group chat of three.

But at the moment when the girl with tiger teeth unlocked her phone, a new message from the small group of three people fell down in the form of a banner at the top of the screen.

[Xiaolan: I'm sorry, something happened suddenly, and I may not be able to come until five o'clock. I'm really sorry. As an apology, I will treat you and Suzuki to dinner. And this code can be exchanged for two movie tickets. If you don't mind, you can go up and watch a movie first. ]

“…Lan, that’s what she said.”

Masumi Sera said as he looked at the chat messages on his phone.

I don't know why, but this sentence pattern always feels so familiar?

"Ah~ Lan, is this guy real or fake?"

Yuanzi was a little upset and covered her head with one hand and put her five fingers into her hair.

"I originally wanted to ask her to come out to play today to see if I could let her try to restore her memory, but how come the person who needed her memory restored the most ended up being the last one to come!"

"Well~ But since Lan said that she had something urgent to do, there is no other way..."

Sera Masumi scratched his head.

"Forget it, let's go watch a movie and wait for her."

"Alas, what else can I do? This is the only way~"

The only one who was not in the situation, Yuanzi, sighed helplessly.

……

The perspective switches back to the Internet cafe box.

"Okay, that's no problem."

Xiaolan waved the sent message in front of the boy, smiled gently and put away her phone.

The soundproofed box door closed behind her, and the unicorn girl walked in, came to the bed, and sat down next to Serabelle.

She placed her hands under her thighs, crossed her calves and swung them in the air, looking up at the ceiling as if she was talking to Serabelle or to herself.

"Speaking of the topic before returning, Sera-kun, don't you find it strange at all as to why I'm here?"

“…I am a little curious.”

Serabelle continued as she spoke.

I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but there’s something obviously wrong with Xiaolan now.

To put it in an analogy, it's like an angel that originally had white wings, but now their wings have been dyed black.

“That’s why~”

Xiaolan took out her mobile phone again, opened the mobile business hall APP, and switched to the positioning function display.

Serabelle took just one look and held her forehead with her hand.

As expected, it was the previous family positioning service. Yukiko had used it to locate him, and then he had used it to locate Eri Kisaki, and now Xiaolan was also using it to locate him.

"Lan, when did you order this service for me..."

Serabelle kept her hand on her forehead.

Xiaolan raised her index finger and pointed at the corner of her mouth, thinking seriously: "It was probably on Monday... Oh no, to be precise, it was late at night on Monday, after I learned about your relationship with my mother, Sera-kun."

? !

In an instant, Serabel's usually emotionless face revealed a look of complete surprise, and he quickly turned his head to look at the girl next to him.

However, Xiaolan's expression remained calm. She turned her head slightly and asked back.

"Isn't it true that on Monday night this week, after you sent me home, Sera-kun returned to my mother's office. I don't need to explain again what you did in the office afterwards. I think Sera-kun, as the person involved, should know better than me."

"orchid……"

"I'm here."

There was no scolding or hysteria, and the smile on the unicorn girl's face remained warm.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything irrational. After all, I like Sera-kun very much."

Like...him?

Serabelle didn't know what Conan would feel when he heard this, but he seemed to have seen that not only the wings behind the unicorn girl turned black, but also little devil-like pointed horns began to grow on both sides of her head.

"is it not OK?"

Seeing that the boy remained silent, Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion.

"Sera-kun, you still don't know how attractive you are to girls, right?"

She counted on her fingers.

"Even if we put aside the additional points such as good looks and good figure, first of all, Sera-kun knows how to be considerate and take care of girls, which makes people feel at ease. He is patient and will not easily show impatience. Moreover, when going out to play, he will consider the feelings of girls. He will not force girls to play activities that they don't want to play just to show his masculinity, and..."

Xiaolan said one thing after another, and with each additional thing she said, the unnatural feeling in Serabelle's heart became stronger.

Why does it feel like every one of these points is comparing him to Kudo Shinichi?

Especially Kudo Shinichi was the one used as a foil.

"Actually... my request is very simple."

Having said that, Xiaolan paused for a moment, and a warm smile bloomed again on her angelic face.

"My mother definitely doesn't want me to know about her relationship with Sera-kun. After all, it's too much for a mother to let her daughter know about this... So I can pretend that I know nothing."

"In a nutshell, Sera-kun, you don't want your mother to be difficult, right?"

Chapter 553 Keep it a secret from mom

Due to Xiaolan's sudden arrival, not only was the Internet fee not refunded, but an additional expense of 4,000 yen was even incurred.

Especially for Serabel, he spent almost the entire afternoon in the Internet cafe's private room.

In the cubicle, Xiaolan turned off the screen of her mobile phone while leaning her face against the boy's shoulder.

Their skins were touching, and she lifted up the left shoulder strap with her other hand.

"It's half past five. They should be out in half an hour."

The movie tickets she bought for Masumi Sera and Sonoko were for a show that would start at 3:30 and last two and a half hours, from 3:30 to 6:00.

It is now 5:30 in the evening, so there is indeed half an hour left.

Perhaps she felt that she still had enough time, so the unicorn girl put down her phone, closed her eyes again, slightly adjusted her posture to a more comfortable angle, and leaned on the boy's shoulder again.

"Sera-kun?"

"…Hmm?"

"Don't you want to say something?"

“…I don’t know what to say either.”

Serabelle, who was also sitting on the single bed, was only wearing a white shirt with the buttons on the front unbuttoned. It was simply draped over her body, casting clear shadows on the texture curves of her chest and abdominal muscles under the not-so-bright light in the compartment.

"That's right."

Xiaolan closed her eyes and smiled softly.

"After all, Sera-kun was half-coerced by me... But I don't regret it, okay?"

"What do you mean?"

Serabelle continued the topic.

If he had only had a vague feeling like this before, he was now almost certain, with at least 70 percent certainty, that Xiaolan's memory had been restored... no, it should be said that it was even more than that.

It's like after recovering the previous memories, they conflict with the memories after losing them, which ultimately causes the whole person to become distorted.

"That's exactly what it means. I don't regret it at all."

Xiaolan spoke softly and slowly opened her eyes. She sat up slightly and turned to look over. She stretched out her arms and hugged the boy's neck from the side, resting her delicate chin gently on the latter's shoulder.

The long eyelashes above the pure sea-blue eyes trembled slightly.
