I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Miss He Ye... Is everything okay after the examination?"

"Well, of course I have no problem with that. And you can just call me He Ye. There's no need to be so polite."

The Osaka girl quickly forced a smile on her face and waved her hand.

But the smile quickly faded.

"It's mainly my classmate, Future Zi. When the doctor examined her just now, he said that further detailed examinations are needed. Now she has been taken to take X-rays."

"Filming?"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment.

The hospital they are in now is one of the best hospitals in Kyoto, and it is staffed by very experienced doctors.

Now even the old doctor said that further examination is needed and took the patient to take X-rays, so it is most likely a fracture.

There is a saying that goes "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone." If you break a bone before a karuta competition, not to mention winning, even participating in the competition becomes a luxury.

Hattori Heiji didn't have any idea and pointed in the direction of the radiology department with a bored look on his face.

"So what do you say? Should we go directly to the radiology department and wait for her now?"

"No, let's just wait here..."

He Ye shook his head.

At the same time, the door of another surgeon's office nearby opened, and a noble girl in gorgeous kimono walked out leisurely, followed by a stern-looking long-haired butler.

Ooka Momiji came out and looked around, her eyes locked on the young man and a smile immediately appeared on her face as she walked towards him. In front of Xiaolan and Sera Masumi, she moved close to him and grabbed Serabell's hand.

"Are you okay, Sera-kun? I didn't expect to encounter something like this. I hope you are not injured anywhere, right?"

"Uh, no."

Serabelle's answer seemed a little stiff.

It's not that he is not used to such close contact with beautiful girls. On the contrary, since he was a child, he has been familiar with these things in advance by Akai Mary, so Serabel's threshold in this regard is already very high, and it is impossible for him to have the embarrassing virgin reactions of the traditional light novel male protagonists in anime.

But the problem is that the murderous intent coming from behind is also real.

For example, a girl with tiger teeth and a girl with unicorn teeth.

Especially under Ooka Momiji's combined actions and words, the two girls' mentality inevitably changed a little.

You have to know that in order to avoid being exposed, they try to be as restrained as possible in public.

Sera Masumi is a little better, after all, she has the identity of a younger sister to give her some protection, and she just needs to be careful about the scale.

For Xiaolan, she is the real torture. Not only does she have to pretend to have amnesia all the time, but she also cannot be too close to Serabell in public.

These two things combined almost overloaded the unicorn girl's CPU, as she was not good at pretending.

So they have worked so hard, why can you, a young lady from Kyoto, be so unscrupulous and undisguisedly close to Bell?

Is being the granddaughter of a former prime minister so great? Huh?!

Looks can't kill, but they can make people feel the murderous intent.

When Serabelle was watching anime with Masumi Sera at home, she had seen some popular science about Japanese Kendo. It was said that there was also the concept of "forbidden hand" in Japanese Kendo. When practicing forbidden hand, the Kendo teacher would ask students to imagine eight terrible scenes of Red Flame, Shura, Rakshasa, and Netherworld in turn and provide assistance.

For example, when a student imagines red flames, the teacher will hold a red-hot iron ruler close to the student's back, giving the student the illusion of being burned by fire.

That's pretty much how Serabelle feels now.

There is a land of peace in front of you, but a sharp sword behind you.

"Ala, Sera-kun doesn't look too well. Is it because the smell of disinfectant in the hospital is too bad?"

Ooka Momiji pretended not to notice the looks of the two girls behind her, and took Serabelle's hand with a smile.

"But now that we've finished the checkup, why don't we go for a walk around the area? I happen to know of a nice coffee shop next to the hospital..."

"Wait a minute, Meimoto-san hasn't come back from taking an X-ray yet!"

Seeing that Serabelle was about to be taken away by a young lady from Kyoto, Xiaolan could no longer hold back and used Meimoto Mirai as a shield.

"Oh? X-ray?"

Ooka Hongye looked at her with some surprise.

"Hiromoto-san? Is her arm broken?"

"It's just a possibility, because the doctor said further examination is needed..."

Kazuha explained.

"Really?" Ooka Hongye nodded thoughtfully. "If that's the case, I'd be very sorry. Her karuta skills are indeed not to be underestimated. But this shouldn't matter, right?"

It doesn't matter? What does it matter?

Xiaolan didn't understand at first.

Then the Kyoto girl continued, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Maori should be here for an interview at the invitation of President Achiba, right? And Sera-kun was invited by me, so it's okay for me to entertain him personally, right?"

"This……"

Xiaolan had never expected this to be the case. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Xiaolan stopped talking, Ooka Hongye curled up a smile like a winner.

"Don't worry, I'll get him back before evening."

After saying this, she took Serabelle's hand and took two steps back.

"Shall we go, then?"

……

Just as Serabelle was dragged away by Ooka Momiji, Hattori Shizuka arrived almost right after.

A beautiful woman in kimono was seen walking through the hospital corridor holding a scabbard and carrying a sword. Her stunning appearance, temperament and warrior-like dress made everyone along the way stare in amazement.

She went straight to Conan, Ran, Hattori Heiji and others who were still waiting in the corridor for the results of Mikuko's examination.

"Hira-chan, are you guys okay? I just arrived in Kyoto and heard that the Nichimi TV building exploded. Did it affect you?"

"No, no, and mom, why are you here..."

"I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I just came over to take a look."

Hattori Shizuka expressed her concern for her son while constantly looking around.

I was wondering why I didn’t see Sera-kun, could it be that he didn’t come?

Chapter 564 Xiaolan: Do you want to eat the noodles I made?

Time passed quickly and it was already six o'clock in the evening. After barely spending a rather boring afternoon, Xiaolan returned to the pre-booked hotel with Kazuha and Sera Masumi.

At this moment, she was sitting alone in the lobby lounge on the first floor of the hotel, holding a can of hot cocoa she had just bought from a nearby vending machine, and looking at the night view of Kyoto outside through the large floor-to-ceiling windows next to the sofa.

In fact, according to tourism conventions, going out for fun does not have to be done during the day. It is no exaggeration to say that the day and night in a city can be two different worlds.

After all, even though Kyoto is full of green lanterns, ancient Buddhas and a strong Japanese style during the day, it has a different flavor at night.

But first it was Sera Masumi, then Ooka Momiji, and then we experienced the tragic bombing of the Nichiuri TV building, which completely ruined the good mood of traveling.

What a messy first day of vacation...

And Bell wasn't there either.

When Xiaolan thought of the scene in the morning where a Kyoto lady took Serabelle away in front of her in the hospital, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

If possible, she would also like to be able to openly call herself a fiancée like Miss Qiuting, but unfortunately... maybe this is just because she didn't meet the right person at the right time.

Thinking of this, a black luxury car outside the hotel turned in and stopped leisurely in front of the gate.

The bright car lights flashed through the floor-to-ceiling window glass and caught Xiaolan's attention. Under the light from the hotel's main entrance, she could clearly see the Red Maple logo on the car.

"That is……"

The unicorn girl's heart moved slightly, and she subconsciously stood up from the sofa.

Sure enough, the next second the back door of the car opened and a familiar figure walked out.

It was Serabel. He said something to the people in the car, as if he was saying goodbye.

Looking sideways into the car from Xiaolan's perspective, she could vaguely see a girl in a kimono sitting in the back seat, waving her hand reluctantly.

After a few seconds, the car door closed again and the car started and slowly drove away.

Serabelle turned and walked into the hotel, and the next second after he stepped into the hotel lobby, Xiaolan, who had been waiting on the side, quickly rushed out and stood in front of him.

"Bell, you...you're back?"

Xiaolan's confidence was clearly lacking, and her eyes kept roaming around the boy as she spoke.

But fortunately, judging from her appearance, Serabelle seemed to have just gone out to play for an afternoon, and her clothes were still neat and the same.

At least I didn't end up losing a shirt after going out for fun.

"Oh, I'm back."

Serabell was a little surprised that she was caught on the spot as soon as she came back.

"...Are you waiting for me here?"

"Well, not really. I just happened to have nothing to do so I went downstairs to drink some coffee." Xiaolan thought for a moment and added, "And by the way, I came to see when you would be back."

"?"

A big question mark appeared above Serabelle's head.

Based on his past experience, girls always have the most topics to talk about. There is a saying that one woman is worth five hundred ducks. Xiaolan, Ye Zhenchun and that Wei Lai Zi together are at least two thousand.

Could it be that there was something unpleasant going on?

"How should I put it..."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment.

"Bell, do you remember that this morning in the hospital, Mr. Meimoto injured his arm because of the bomb incident?"

"Yeah, remember."

"Afterwards, the hospital took an X-ray and confirmed that Hidemoto-san had a broken arm. He can no longer participate in the karuta tournament in three days, so we can only ask Kazuha, who is also a member of the karuta club, to participate. I am currently undergoing emergency special training with Kazuha in the room."

"Oh~"

Serabelle drew out the tone without any emotion in her heart.

To be frank, in his opinion, Meimoto Mirai's behavior at that time was very...stupid.

If you run back to rescue the karuta when you know there is a bomb in the building, what if the bomb explodes and kills someone?

Aren't you, Meimoto Mirai, still going to participate in the karuta competition? Isn't it said that if you don't get a title, your club will be disbanded?

At this time, you don't consider these things and just focus on rescuing the karuta?

Oh no, to be precise, she considered it.

The only conclusion he came to was to leave the cleanup work to others, and let Kazuha, who had only joined the club reluctantly out of friendship to make up the numbers so that the club would not be disbanded due to insufficient number of members, to participate in the competition on his behalf.

In a nutshell, it means that you pooped your pants and still need others to help you wipe your butt.

Xiaolan probably had some similar thoughts, but she was kind-hearted and didn't like to talk about others behind their backs, so she just shook her head helplessly.

"Sera-san and I don't know how to play karuta and we don't have much interest in it, so I came down to drink coffee, and Sera-san went back to her room to rest."

"What about Uncle Maori and Conan?"

"Dad went to the pub to drink. Conan and Hattori said he was going to investigate the explosion during the day. He left after dinner..."

"Eh~"

As they talked, the two of them walked naturally towards the elevator.

A few minutes later, with a crisp ding sound coming from the elevator lobby on the floor above the hotel, the security door of elevator number 3 that had just arrived slowly opened to both sides.

Serabel, who had just returned from outside, and Xiaolan, who was holding an unfinished cup of hot cocoa, walked out.

"Bell."

"Ok?"

"Do you remember what we agreed to do in front of the Nichimi TV building this morning?"
