I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Of course I have my own difficulties, but Sharon, you wouldn't be so cruel as to take me back to the organization. If you really did that, my sister and Miss Curacao are also in this store, and they will definitely not let you go!"

Vermouth: "..."

Serabelle: "..."

I don't know whether to say that she was possessed by a drama spirit or that she still had a childish heart. She clearly knew that the shop assistant they saw when they entered the store just now was Vermouth in disguise. In other words, Vermouth must have known that Curacao and Akai Mary were also traveling with Miyano Elena.

Not to mention that there was Serabelle sitting behind her.

It goes without saying that it is impossible to actually do something like arresting someone!

The air in the locker room suddenly became quiet, and the two of them stared at each other quietly for about five or six seconds.

In the end, it was Vermouth who gave up first and shook her head helplessly.

"Hurry up and finish or get dressed. I have a plan of action and time is running out."

Chapter 711 Mary: Did you call Belle too?

"That's it."

Half an hour later, still in the clothing store, three women lined up next to the cash register, waiting to check out.

A mountain of clothes filled the small cash register; they were the spoils they had picked out in the past half hour.

Most of them were from Akai Mari and Curacao, but since Miyano Elena already had a whole wardrobe at home, she wasn't short of clothes to wear, so she just picked out two that she liked.

The first two are a former MI6 investigator and a core executor of the Black Organization. Their usual style is silence and efficiency.

Now they bring this attitude to shopping. For other women, it would take half a day to consider something, but Akai Mary and Curacao only take less than one-third of it.

The shopping posture is just like going to a 100-dollar store on the street. You just take whatever you like without caring about the price at all.

If you don't look at the actual price tags on the clothing labels, others might think that the store is having a mid-year sale today, with 90% off on every piece of clothing.

It doesn’t make sense. What kind of family are they? How can they buy clothes like this?

Buy for zero yuan?

Of course that's impossible.

"Then I'll pack it all for you."

Behind the cashier counter, Vermouth, who had returned to her appearance as a shop assistant, scanned the labels on each piece of clothing with the cash register with extremely skillful movements, and then packed them in packaging bags with the brand logo that had been prepared long ago.

All in all, the total amount was more than 3 million yen, and all that belonged to Akai Mary was paid by Serabell using her own bank card.

Curacao originally planned to pay for her clothes herself, but out of convenience, Serabelle also helped her pay with her bank card.

Serabelle is the type who doesn't care much about money. Besides, he has tens of billions of yen in his card, so a few million yen or something is just a small amount.

It would be better to say that when he had customized those "Yukatas" in Kyoto before, the unit price of almost each piece was close to this price.

After a while, all the clothes were packed up, and the three women quickly divided the loot and took their own clothes.

Among them, Curacao sincerely thanked Serabelle.

"Thank you. I will transfer the money for the clothes to you after I return."

"Ah, that doesn't matter..."

Serabelle shrugged.

On the other side, Akai Mari, whose hands were already full of bags, looked at her sister.

"Okay, now that we've finished buying clothes and have so much stuff, it's almost time to—"

What she meant was that it was almost time to go back. After all, they came out today to buy clothes, and after buying the clothes, their mission would naturally be accomplished.

Besides, she and Serabelle had walked here, and Elena and Curacao had taken the subway to the city center, so there was no need to put the clothes in the car in the parking lot first.

Carrying so many bags while shopping is a bit like being in jail.

"Well..."

Elena Miyano hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

On the contrary, the taciturn Curacao pointed downstairs and said seriously.

"There is a temporary storage cabinet where we came up just now. We can store the clothes we bought there first, and then... hm?"

Before she finished her words, Miss Whitehair's gaze turned away as if suddenly attracted by something.

The clerk who had just entered the cash register data into the store system had now left the cash register and came to the changing room on the inner side of the store and began to turn off the lights one by one from the inside to the outside.

???

what's the situation.

Are we preparing to...close?

But isn't it just this afternoon? Although these high-end clothing stores are somewhat similar to antique shops in that they are the type that close in March and make ends meet in March, it is not the case that they would go offline right after making a big deal.

Is it so free?

While I was thinking, the "shop assistant" had already turned down all the lights in the store, leaving only a small area at the door.

"Okay, now that we've finished buying clothes, it's about time we change places and chat, right?"

Returning to the cashier counter and the last light switch, the clerk smiled at the four people at the door.

"No, you are... Vermouth?!"

A familiar feeling suddenly came over him, and Curacao subconsciously took a half step back and took a vigilant stance.

And Akai Mary, who was standing nearby and heard the name Vermouth, also had a sharp look in her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her emerald eyes.

Only Serabelle and Elena, who already knew the inside story, remained calm.

Seeing the two girls' reactions, Vermouth, who was disguised as a "shop assistant", no longer concealed herself. She returned to her original voice and gently lifted the edge of the mask on her neck and tore it off.

"Hehehe~ There's no need to be so wary of me, Curacao. You lived downstairs from me for several days before. If I really wanted to do something to you for such a long time, do you think you could still be alive and well until now?"

Then she turned to Akai Mari on the other side, smiled teasingly and shook her head.

"Ala, isn't this our famous female MI6 investigator? Since she has found Miyano Elena and restored her original body, she must have heard about my plan from Bell and decided to help, right?"

"Help? You really are kidding me, Vermouth."

There was still coldness in Akai Mari's voice.

"You forced Bell into your plan. I restored my original body to prevent you from harming him in the process. If I had to say it, I should have restrained and supervised you... Also, you can't call him Bell."

"Haha, right?"

Vermouth burst out laughing and turned her gaze to Serabell who was silent beside her, but she was still mocking Akai Mari.

"I think it's better to ask the person's opinion on this matter... Did you hear that, Bell? Your 'mother' seems a little jealous and doesn't want me to call you so intimately, so I want to know what you think, Bell. Are you willing to be called that by your sister?"

Serabelle: "..."

So if you want to talk about something, just talk about it. Why lead the conversation in this direction?

Fortunately, Vermouth didn't dwell on this aspect too much and quickly brought the topic back to the main topic.

"Okay, I won't say much else. In short, this matter is not only about me, but also about you. If it cannot be resolved smoothly, the impact on you will be even greater."

Having said this, the Thousand-Faced Witch smiled and turned off the last light in the store, with her fingertip on the switch pointing directly outside the store door.

"So, let's go somewhere else and talk slowly, shall we?"

Chapter 712 Sister Bei: Do you want to see the video we made?

Although she was very reluctant, even Akai Mary had to admit that what Vermouth said was true.

Considering the confidentiality of the topic to be discussed next, the final meeting location was chosen to be the penthouse suite of Vermouth's hotel.

"That's our plan, then."

In the middle of the living room, Vermouth, who was sitting on the sofa, took out a huge roll of printed paper from under the coffee table and placed it on the table, then flattened it and spread it out in front of the four people.

To be precise, it was a satellite map of a coastal area somewhere in Japan.

And judging from the words marked on the map, the area on the map seems to be called Hachijo Island.

However, what is strange is that usually maps will use most of their space to depict land areas, but in this map, the area of ​​Hachijo Island only occupies a very small corner, about 7 to 8 percent of the entire map.

As for the rest of the area, it is all blue sea, and there is a huge cross buoy drawn with a ballpoint pen in the deep sea, corresponding to Hachijo Island in the lower right corner of the map. It is a fictional sign that does not exist on the map.

"Hachijo Island, this place..."

Noticing the place names marked on the map, Miyano Elena felt that they looked a little familiar.

Vermouth chuckled softly.

"Yes, it's within Tokyo. I heard there are whales living near that sea area. If you want to travel, you can go back and forth every day. It's very convenient for commuting, right?"

Of course, this is just a little joke. None of the people present here go to work honestly, and naturally they don’t have any obsession with commuting.

Vermouth's fingertips fell on the boundary between the coast of Hachijo Island and the sea on the map, and she walked in a straight line all the way to the location of the huge cross buoy.

"Our plan is to take a speedboat from Hachijo Island, head to the cross buoy, and then approach the cross buoy by diving alone. Then someone will pick us up and open the valve from the inside."

"Support?"

Akai Mari frowned in confusion.

"Isn't this buoy Interpol's territory? Why would someone come to pick it up? Did someone from your team sneak in?"

“It’s hard for me to say.”

Vermouth smiled and spread her hands to indicate that she did not want to disclose it.

But her reluctance to disclose does not mean that Curacao will not disclose it.

Miss White Hair said on the spot: "I think the person who should be contacted should be Binga. He was the one who caused this incident in the first place, and he is the only one who would be so anxious to solve it. Secondly, as far as I know, Binga has a disguise skill that is no less than Vermouth. Although some features cannot be concealed due to gender issues, it is not difficult for him to disguise himself as a staff member in the buoy to sneak in."

Features? Oh, I guess it's the Adam's apple or something like that...

After a little thought, Serabelle quickly understood.

"Well, that's not what I said, but that's what it is in a nutshell."

Vermouth listened to Curacao's revelation with a smile and did not intend to stop it.

"But there is one thing I must say first. Although we currently have five people, excluding the civilian staff Elena, there are four people who can directly participate in the execution, but when diving into the buoy, there can be no more than two people. If you have no objection, Bell and I will be the duo..."

"I disagree!"

Before he could finish his words, the voice of the British wife beside the coffee table suddenly rang out.

Akai Mary stared at the Thousand-Faced Witch with fierce eyes.

"I can't let Bell go with you on such a dangerous mission. If there must be only two of us, Bell and I will go!"

"……you?"

Vermouth did not rush to refute, but crossed her arms across her chest with a smile, looked the British wife up and down, and then slowly asked the question.

"Then may I ask, if we are discovered by the people inside during the infiltration, how will you escape as soon as possible? At least if it were me, I could immediately disguise myself and Bell's appearance to hide as other people, but what do you say, Ms. Akai Mary?"

"Then we'll go together." Akai Mary refused to give in.

"Then it's even more impossible."

Vermouth sighed and shook her head as if with regret.

"The most important thing during a mission is mutual trust. If the two of us are always on guard against each other, the ultimate result is that the chances of mission failure will be greatly increased."

"I know. I will choose to trust you temporarily, at least until the mission is over." said Akai Mary.

"Um……"

Vermouth held her chin with one hand and bit her lip, her beautiful pair of eyebrows furrowed together in helplessness and confusion.

"That's very strange of you to say, Ms. Akai Mary. You first said you didn't trust me, and then you said you would trust me, even if it was only temporary. But have you ever considered that I might also attack you during the mission?"

"Then you can try it." Akai Mary said coldly.

This is based on the confidence brought by her skills. Even when her body became smaller due to the effects of APTX4869, she was able to beat Vermouth to a pulp with her physical skills, not to mention now that she has recovered.

Perhaps the two sides are almost the same in physical strength, but in terms of fighting skills, Akai Mary can beat a hundred Vermouths with one hand.

"You are really stubborn, Ms. Akai Marie."
