I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

It would be fine if he told Mari Akai about his relationship with Xiaolan, after all, Mari Akai, including sister Yukiko and aunt Eri, knew about it.

But for Masumi Sera, this is not the case at all, especially since they are in the same class. At the moment, only Xiaolan knows Masumi Sera, but Masumi Sera does not know Xiaolan, so the balance can be maintained for the time being.

But if the two knew each other, emmm~

"What are you doing?"

Just then, the door of the second bedroom opened, and a blond British girl walked out, yawning and covering her mouth. Seeing her daughter clinging to the boy in the living room like a koala, she couldn't help but frowning slightly.

It's okay if he's traveling, but doing this at home, even in front of her, isn't that a bit too much?

"Nothing, nothing."

When she saw her mother appear, Sera Masumi, who was already feeling guilty for not finishing her homework, quickly got downstairs. She didn't dare to stay in the living room any longer and ran back to the door of her room.

She stopped a second before entering the room and turned around.

"By the way, brother, someone called you when you were away. It seemed to be the client."

"Client?"

Serabelle raised an eyebrow, thinking that she hadn't received any commissions recently.

Sera Masumi changed the way he said it: "It's a new client, an unfamiliar number, and I want you to investigate a man named Fujinami Hiroaki. I've written down the specific information, brother, please take a look at the memo on your phone."

"Oh, good."

Serabelle said as she walked to the coffee table, picked up her phone, opened the memo and started checking.

At the same time in the kitchen, Mary Akai started preparing lunch and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator one by one.

"Um……"

"what happened?"

She asked without turning her head when she heard the boy behind her looking at his phone and mumbling something from far away.

"Nothing, I just... don't really want to answer it."

Serabelle shrugged and put away her phone.

"I took a look and it seems like it would be quite troublesome if I really accepted the offer. Besides, they didn't tell me the exact remuneration, and they haven't paid me the deposit yet... Tsk."

"Is it that troublesome?"

Akai Mary was a little curious.

In her opinion, although Serabelle had not undergone complete and strict systematic training, her innate fighting power was naturally evident after years of careful training. Even her professional qualities in other aspects could still surpass 99 percent of Japanese police officers.

Even Serabelle finds this troublesome, what kind of investigation mission is this?

"No, to be precise... it's a waste of time."

Serabelle briefly explained the content of the commission.

"The target person is a real estate agent named Fujinami Hiroaki. I think he is a black agent. He wants me to follow him and collect evidence of his fraud."

"Oh~"

Now Akai Mary understood.

This kind of tracking mission is indeed very time-consuming, and it is also the type that Serabel has always hated. In comparison, he prefers the type that directly gives a precise coordinate point and then rushes over to kill people.

"So you're just going to not answer it?"

"No."

Serabelle shrugged and started swinging.

He used to take on commissions to earn a living, but ever since Mrs. Suzuki gave him that huge sum, Serabel just laid down completely. Anyway, he was not the type to spend a lot, let alone having more than 2 billion in his hands, he would have spent even 200 million.

Because this is basically the income that the Japanese middle class can earn in their lifetime. As long as they don't spend it lavishly, there is basically no possibility of spending it all.

What's more, Serabelle is different from Conan. He didn't become a detective just because he likes to be in the spotlight.

This is also why he had basically no enthusiasm when he encountered a case after that.

Don’t work unless necessary. Use this time to spend more time with your family.

Akai Mary didn't say anything else, which meant she agreed with his idea.

Jingle bell bell~

But in the next second, Serabelle's cell phone suddenly rang.

The young man's body trembled slightly. He was thinking that if it was the same number calling, he would just ignore it and pretend he was away. But when he picked up the phone, he found that the caller ID showed that it was Mrs. Suzuki calling.

huh?

Just at this moment, Akai Mary, who was standing on a small stool beside the stove, turned around and glanced at the caller ID on the screen.

"Do you need me to avoid it?"

"No...nothing."

Serabelle was choked by these words, walked forward, picked up Akai Mari, turned around and sat down on a small stool with her back against the stove without even wiping it.

When the phone was connected, Mrs. Suzuki's gentle voice with a smile came.

"It's been a while since we last met, Bell, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"

"Convenient, no problem."

"Is such that."

When Mrs. Suzuki heard that it was convenient to answer the phone, her tone instantly became more casual.

"We previously had a construction project in Tokyo, and it's basically been completed recently. It can now be found on the map. It's a landmark building with a simple name, Suzuki Tower."

"The Suzuki Tower will be open for its first trial operation in three days. If you want to go then, you can go and have a look. You can bring friends along."

"Although the number of tickets is limited, if you go, just tell the staff and they will know."

Just say it...?

Akai Mary curled her lips and snorted.

Chapter 595 Mary Lifted High~

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

As she had accepted the invitation from Mrs. Suzuki, Serabell arrived at the destination with Masumi Sera and Mary Akai on the day of the trial opening of "Suzuki Tower".

In fact, his original plan was to ask Reiko to go with him, but Reiko Akiba couldn't come because she had a performance somewhere else recently.

It seems that Xiaolan has also received an invitation from Sonoko. As their relationship is still a secret and cannot be made public, they simply split up and treat it as a surprise when they meet by chance.

However, the surprise has not yet arrived, only the shock has come first.

Because according to the display on the mobile map APP, this Suzuki Tower seems to be located in the center of Tokyo. Although it is not that close to the city center, it is definitely not remote.

Considering the traffic congestion in Tokyo, there would likely be a large number of tourists on the day of the trial operation, and parking would become a big problem. And as the map showed, there was a subway station near the Suzuki Tower that was already open for operation, so in the end, Serabelle and the other two simply took the subway.

So after a half-hour subway ride, the first thing Serabelle did when she walked out of the ground entrance of the subway station was to raise her head at a 45-degree angle towards the morning sun, and opened her mouth slightly with an expressionless face towards the tower-like building that was about 150 meters away.

From the outside, it looks like an observation tower. The main body is a normal tower, with a disc-shaped observation hall in the middle and on the top of the tower, and an elliptical square at the bottom.

If tourists want to go up for sightseeing, they only need to enter from the ground floor square and take the elevator directly to the observation hall in the middle.

This kind of design was not new to Serabilla. He and Xiaolan had visited Dorobiga Park before and there was such an observation tower there. They had even gone inside to see it.

But... this one is too big!

For example, the observation tower in Dorobiga Park is at most ten stories high and definitely no higher than forty meters.

And the Suzuki Tower in front of them at this moment...

Serabelle conservatively estimated that it should be over 600 meters.

What is this concept?

The Tokyo Tower used to be the tallest building in Tokyo, but its height is only 330 meters. To reach 600 meters, the height of the Tokyo Tower must be doubled and then slightly reduced.

Or to give another example, let's take the twin-tower skyscrapers that burned down in Nishitama City. Serabel vaguely remembered that one of the two buildings was more than 200 meters tall and the other more than 300 meters tall.

This means that the twin-tower skyscrapers have to be split in the middle, and then Building A must be stacked on top of Building B to barely reach the shoulders of the Suzuki Tower.

"Brother, you seem surprised."

Wearing a hooded sweatshirt and slim jeans, Sera Masumi walked slowly to Serabel with her hands in her pockets, rubbed her slightly bulging chest against the boy's arm and teased.

“…I’m appalled.”

Serabelle took a deep breath and didn't even bother to speak Japanese, her London accent coming out.

He really never expected that just a few months later, the Suzuki Group would come up with such a big thing.

They just built an opera house last year, and if you count the movable ones, they also built a Suzuki luxury airship. But less than three months into this year, they built a super Suzuki tower.

Although this is essentially because he does not pay attention to current affairs, after all, with the style of the Suzuki Group, since they have invested so much money to create a spectacle, they will definitely not fall behind in publicity.

But the problem is that when Mrs. Suzuki called him a few days ago, she said during the call that it was "also a landmark building." Her tone was extremely nonchalant, as if she had just spent some money on some small project.

Looking back, the Tokiwa Group in neighboring Nishitama City had to beg and bribe the legislators to change the law in order to build a twin tower building. But when the Suzuki Group in Tokyo came along, they just built a 600-meter-high Suzuki Tower.

Is this the strength of the leader of the Japanese financial group?

"Cough cough!"

A deliberately heavy cough came from behind Serabel and Sera Masumi.

Then a light blonde forced her way in from the middle and separated the two. It was Akai Mari.

She glanced left and right and coughed again.

"Okay, stop standing here. If you really want to experience it, just go over and check it out."

"Hi hi~"

……

Five minutes later, the three of them quickly arrived at the square below the Suzuki Tower.

The atmosphere on the scene was even more lively than expected, with all kinds of banners and colorful flags fluttering, and fireworks and salutes going off one after another during the day as if it were night. The long queue waiting for the elevator stretched from the inside of the lobby on the ground floor to the square outside and all the way to the side of the road.

Fortunately, Serabelle and others do not have this problem.

As soon as they arrived at the square, they were found by staff from the Suzuki Group and taken directly to the staff elevator and went straight to the exhibition hall upstairs.

A moment later, the long queue below was still there, and the three of them had arrived at the first-floor exhibition hall located 341 meters above the Suzuki Tower.

Unexpectedly, despite the desperately long queues in the square below, the number of people in the exhibition hall was not crowded at all and was perfectly controlled to a lively yet relaxed level.

I think this is also the result of the elevator controlling passenger flow by transporting passengers one by one.

"Wow, come and see, the view from this height is really nice!"

Coming to the window of the exhibition hall, Masumi Sera held Serabelle's sleeve with one hand and held the safety fence with the other, looking at the scenery outside the window with shining eyes and exclaimed.

"Oh, yes."

Serabelle's reaction was now calm.

Seeing this, the tiger-toothed girl was slightly puzzled: "Brother, why don't you seem surprised at all?"

"No, I was pleasantly surprised."

As Serabelle spoke, she bent down and picked up Akai Mari, who could only see outside through the vertical bars of the safety fence due to her height, and lifted her up to the same level as herself.

Akai Mary, who was not used to such treatment, immediately twisted her body slightly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Hey Bell, there's no need to do this, put me down..."

Before he finished speaking, the employee elevator opened again and three familiar figures emerged from it.

It was Xiaolan, who was previously invited by her good friend Sonoko, as well as Sonoko and Mrs. Suzuki.

"Ah, it's Sera-kun, Sera-kun you're here too!"

As Xiaolan got out of the elevator, she started looking around. The moment she locked onto Serabell, she immediately quickened her pace, walked forward and exclaimed in surprise, as if it was a real chance encounter.

At the same time, Mrs. Suzuki noticed that Serabelle couldn't help but let a gentle and happy smile appear on her face.

Looking at these two women who cast the same look at Serabelle, Akai Mari, who was shouting to let her go just a second ago, instantly shut up.

And hugged it tighter with his backhand.
