I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

“It’s just possible.”

"Maybe...ah."

Yuanzi's expectant expression froze instantly. She pulled her body back and sat up straight, crossed her legs, propped up her cheek, and looked out the window, as if talking to herself.

"Sure enough, it's still very strange."

……

After saying goodbye to her friend, Xiaolan quickly entered the community and followed the familiar route to the downstairs of the apartment building.

However, just as she was about to walk into the apartment building and take the elevator upstairs as usual, a familiar figure suddenly came into view in the elevator lobby on the ground floor of the apartment building.

"Sera...-kun?"

Xiaolan stopped and blinked.

Hearing the voice behind her, Serabell turned around.

"came back?"

"Yeah, she just came back. Sonoko is sending Genta Ayumi and the others off now."

Xiaolan subconsciously walked closer to the boy, but just as she was about to get closer, she reacted in time and braked the car. She glanced outside the door of the apartment building behind her, and after confirming that there was no one around, she boldly took another step forward and sniffed the latter's neck and shoulders.

"What about you, Sera-kun? Why did you come back from outside just now? Did you go to see another girl? (Suspicious)"

"If there is no girl, where did the girl come from... If I must say, I probably went to look for the murderer and looked for you by the way."

"Eh?"

Xiaolan was completely unable to understand such a description.

Serabelle pointed upstairs.

"The whole thing is a bit complicated, shall we go upstairs and talk about it slowly?"

"Okay...oh no, no."

"?"

The girl's inconsistent agreement and refusal made Serabelle slowly type a question mark.

Xiaolan covered her mouth with a hint of embarrassment and whispered, "It's already eight o'clock. Mom will be back from get off work soon. If she's at home..."

Oh, I see.

Serabelle understood instantly and immediately changed her proposal.

"Then let's talk in my car?"

This time Xiaolan had no objection, but her cheeks turned slightly red.

"Well, I guess that's all right."

So the two of them, who had just arrived downstairs at the doorstep, turned back to the underground garage and put sunshades on every car window.

In the back seat of the car, Serabelle and Xiaolan sat together.

Serabelle sat on the sofa, and Xiaolan sat on Serabelle, facing this side and skillfully stretched out her arms to hug her neck.

"So, what's going on?"

"To put it simply—"

Serabelle organized her words a little.

"Remember the targets that Teacher Judy mentioned in the Metropolitan Police Department meeting room when the first sniping incident happened a few days ago?"

"remember."

The unicorn girl nodded.

"First there was the unscrupulous real estate agent, then there was the heartless man who cancelled the engagement and caused my sister to commit suicide, then there was the U.S. Army Sergeant Bill Murphy, and finally the U.S. Army Officer Jack Waltz."

Serabelle counted them one by one.

"Yesterday it was Bill Murphy who died, and then tonight at about half past six the last one, that Jack Waltz, also died."

"Eh? But why would Sera-kun know that?"

"The sniper attack was launched from the top of the observation hall on the first floor of Suzuki Tower, and the bullet successfully hit the target in the elevator room on the top floor of an abandoned residential building in Moto-Asakusa."

"bell……"

Xiaolan was speechless.

Because at 6:30 in the evening, she, Sonoko and the three kids were in the Suzuki Tower, so doesn't that mean? ?

"But fortunately, that guy isn't that crazy." Serabelle shrugged. "After he finished the sniping, he heard you guys were in the observation hall downstairs. In order to avoid a direct encounter, he waited up there for a while until you reached the second observation hall on the upper floor."

“Yes, that’s right.”

Xiaolan blinked twice again, not knowing whether to say she was still frightened or relieved.

"But why does Sera-kun know all this?"

"Because I was also in the tourist hall at the time."

The boy's explanation was rather crude and simplistic.

"And just guard the stairs leading to the rooftop. If that guy is not in his right mind and wants to harm you, I will kill him the moment he comes down the stairs."

"Deal with it...or something."

Xiaolan's mouth twitched slightly.

"But we were also in the observation hall at that time. Yuan Tai Ayumi and the others ran around the observation hall twice. Why didn't they notice you?"

"Maybe it's because I hid it better."

Serabelle raised an eyebrow.

At the same time, the hand around Xiaolan's waist tightened slightly.

"Anyway, that's probably what happened. Since we're already down here, why don't we sit there for a while before going back up?"

"Well, okay..."

The girl lowered her head with a red face, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

This seems to be the first time this happens in a car.

Chapter 622: A fatal question? ○ Just a meal!

The Suzuki Tower sniper incident passed just like that, and time flew to the next day.

Today, Serabel did not sleep until nine in the morning as usual. He got up very early.

Because Lianzi is back.

That's right, when Suzuki Tower just opened for trial operation, Serabelle wanted to invite her along, but because she had to go to another place for work to participate in a performance, she could only invite her nominal fiancée Reiko next time.

In the morning sunshine, a black Audi was parked downstairs of an old residential building on the other side of downtown Tokyo.

Walking in from the main entrance of the corridor and entering the first house on the first floor, the sound of washing vegetables in the living room can be heard continuously from the kitchen.

A young woman with long black wavy hair and red eyes, wearing an apron, stood by the stove sink, washing the ingredients she had bought in advance one by one in the water.

Next to the woman, a young man who was also standing by the stove took the washed ingredients and placed them on the chopping board, then cut them into small pieces with his exquisite and swift knife skills.

"And these, and nothing else."

Reiko Akiba scooped up the last handful of food from the water and placed it in the plastic basket used to filter water nearby, then pushed it towards Serabelle.

However, when she saw the large basket of cut ingredients on the other side of the latter's hand, Reiko Akita couldn't help but change her mind.

"Why don't you let me do it instead? Are your hands tired?"

"It's just cutting vegetables, how can it be tiring..."

Serabelle stopped what she was doing speechlessly and turned to look at the large basket beside her.

"I'm just curious whether you bought too much, Reiko. If we cook all of this, even eight people might not be able to finish it, let alone the two of us."

"That……"

Upon hearing this, Reiko Akiba's gaze instantly drifted away, her cheeks slightly red as she coughed lightly.

"At most, I can eat for a few more days. It would be too time-consuming to make new food every time after each meal. Besides, you don't come here every day. If you come here every day, I will definitely make new food every day. When you don't come here, I will be alone at home and I will be too lazy to make so much trouble."

"Oh--"

Serabelle deliberately drew out the tone.

Then the next second, she was hit lightly on the shoulder blade by an angry fist.

"Oh just one sound will do!"

"Oh--"

Serabelle continued to drawl out her voice and concentrate on cutting vegetables, highlighting the fact that she accepts all criticisms but refuses to change.

This made Reiko Akiba's face even redder.

After all, she said so much just to cover up the fact that she bought too much food. Serabel's perfunctory tone made it seem as if she didn't trust her.

But logically speaking, Reiko Akiba shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake that only people who have never done housework would make. The main reason was that she hadn't seen Serabelle for more than a week, and she wanted to make up to her.

So after she came back from a performance in another city, she went to the supermarket early this morning and did some shopping.

When shopping in the supermarket, I see this and that and I can’t resist buying them all. By the time I realize how to check out, the cart is already full.

Even now, what is processed on the stove is only half of what Reiko Akiba bought from the supermarket.

"…Okay, now we just have to wait until it jumps off."

After pouring all the chopped ingredients into the electric casserole, Serabelle flipped the switch, closed the lid almost half-forcefully, and clapped her hands.

Reiko Akita crossed her arms and nodded softly, without saying much.

Serabelle turned and looked at her.

And Reiko Akiba still maintained that posture, neither speaking nor moving closer nor moving away, like a reserved and noble cat.

But this reserve was broken the next second.

Serabelle took a step forward, stretched out her arms through her armpits, and directly picked up Reiko Akiba. Because she used too much force, it even produced a little effect similar to lifting her up high.

"Hey, what are you doing... Be careful, there are a lot of things in the kitchen, if you knock them over..."

"Then let's go to the living room."

Serabelle carried Reiko Akiba out of the kitchen, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and put her on her lap.

At such a close distance, the cold and aloof attitude that Reiko Akiba had just managed to maintain due to her embarrassment and anger was instantly broken. She wrapped her arms around the boy's neck involuntarily, shortening the distance between them, and her voice became softer and softer.

"Bell..."

"uh-huh?"

Serabelle held the soft and tight waist, ready to cooperate with Reiko Akiba for the next step.

Then his ears were twisted by a pair of slightly cool little hands that were still damp from washing vegetables not long ago.

Reiko Akita leaned over and buried her face in the boy's neck, her voice sounding more like a reproach than a question.

"Tell me the truth, have you been fooling around with other women while I was away?"

"How can there be..."

Serabelle denied it flatly.

There may be other women, but there is absolutely no such thing as fooling around.

That should be pure love!

"Really? Then why do I feel like you've become so skilled... No, I should say you were already quite skilled before."

Reiko Akiba kept saying names one after another as if she was torturing Serabelle.

"After all, there are so many women around you, including Kudo Yukiko, Kisaki Eri, and even Mrs. Suzuki from the Suzuki Group, right?"

Serabelle: "..."

Theoretically, he should answer yes now, but if he answers yes, it would be a fatal question.
