I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"……Um."

Ooka Momiji pursed her lips, looked up at Suzuki Tomoko, and nodded slightly in response.

"Besides, I have to get up early tomorrow. If possible, I would like to go back to my room and rest after dinner. I won't go shopping with you three today."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll do it next time..."

That's all Yuanzi can say.

……

Time soon came after dinner.

As agreed upon at the dinner table, Ran, Makoto, Jun and Sonoko went out to go shopping.

Ooka Momiji decided to go back to her room to rest. Because she was staying in the top floor suite of the hotel, which was not on the same floor as other people's ordinary suites, she even needed a special room card to reach her floor, so even if Serabelle wanted to send her there, there was no way.

"Whoo~"

After returning to her room, Serabelle turned on the light at the entrance. Looking at the empty room, she couldn't help but feel helpless.

It's like I'm not used to it all of a sudden.

Forget it, I'd better take a shower first and then call Sister Mary.

Thinking of this, Serabelle put on her slippers and went into the bathroom.

Soon the lights in the room came on and the sound of gurgling water came from the door.

Almost at the same time, rhythmic knocking sounds were heard at the entrance.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Who is it?

Serabelle had planned to brush her teeth while the bathtub was running to make good use of her time, but just as she walked out of the bathroom, she heard a knock on the door and couldn't help feeling confused.

Why would someone come to see him at this time? It shouldn't happen.

Hongye went straight back to her room to rest, while her three best friends Ran, Masumi and Sonoko went out shopping, and Mrs. Suzuki probably had things to do at the consortium.

who can that be?

"……coming."

Puzzled, Serabelle responded and walked to the door of the room and pressed the doorknob.

The lock bolt was withdrawn and the door slowly opened.

The figure of a certain Osaka housewife and maiden outside the door came into view clearly, and...she was dragging a large suitcase behind her.

"Jing, Jinghua?"

Even Serabelle was surprised.

He sent a message to Hattori Shizuka at noon today, but there has been no reply until now. And now he suddenly shows up at her door? ?

"Well, how should I put it, hehe..."

Outside the door, Hattori Shizuka kept scratching her face with her fingertips and looking away. A faint blush appeared on her usually fair cheeks, and her smile seemed a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I arrived in Nagoya this morning, but because I've always heard that Nagoya has a strong history of the Warring States Period, I thought I'd just wander around a bit before looking for a hotel. As a result, I accidentally wandered all the way here until now, and even forgot to book a hotel... If nothing goes wrong, I'll have to stay at your place tonight, Sera-kun, is that okay?"

"..."

Chapter 822 Please use Jinghua as much as you want~

The bathtub in the bathroom was still flowing with water, and the water level in the bathtub was rising little by little, emitting hot steam.

There is nothing else to do tonight, so I have quite plenty of time.

This is also a major change for Serabelle since she came to Japan.

In the past, he hardly cared about these material enjoyments. It was not that he was opposed or disgusted, but simply had no interest... or just didn't care.

And now, Serabelle will try to make herself as comfortable as possible as long as conditions permit.

For example... a bath, especially a bath for two people.

Hattori Shizuka, who had just arrived at the hotel, put her luggage in the room and looked around.

"Hmm~ Bell, your room is really messy."

The voice floated from the bedside, and when Serabelle looked in the direction of the voice, she saw a certain married woman and maiden holding a small umbrella that was fully filled and tied at the top with her thumb and index finger, lifting it from the pillow beside the bed.

It was also clearly visible that there were several other small umbrellas and used napkins scattered on the ground next to the bed.

"Hmm? Uh, that's..."

Following the sound, Serabelle turned her head and took a look. When she saw clearly what the wife was holding, she couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand.

I have to say that this was indeed his negligence. It was left over from the afternoon when he and Mrs. Suzuki and Hongye shared the meal.

After all, considering that it was already late, if they delayed any further, Sonoko might drag Masumi and the others over to knock on the door, and it would be difficult to explain if they saw them in the same room. Besides, they also had to take a shower first, which would take time.

In the end, the final result was that it was not cleaned up in time.

“Even though there’s a lot in each bag, the number of bags is average.”

Hattori Shizuka casually found a roll of garbage bag from the drawer of the bedside table and tore off one of it. After opening the bag, she picked up the small umbrellas and paper balls scattered on the bedside and on the ground under the bed and threw them into the bag.

Only after she had packed up everything did she stand up, tie a knot at the mouth of the garbage bag, and throw it into the trash can in the room like a nesting doll.

"This way, even if a night passes, there won't be a strong smell."

Serabelle: "..."

To be honest, Jinghua's reaction really surprised him. Logically, shouldn't she come up to him and ask him who he did it with?

Her first reaction was to clean up the scene first. That’s really strong feminine power... No, this is wife power.

However, as the saying goes, what you think will come true. Just as this thought popped up in Serabel's mind, Hattori Shizuka, who was still speaking with full of wife power in the last second, came in front of him.

The white tender hand touched the boy's cheek, and the Osaka wife's words were still gentle.

"So, besides Bell and I, is there a third person living in this room?"

"……there is none left."

Serabelle knew what she was asking.

"Originally it was a coincidence. Hongye stayed in the same hotel as us, but she arrived here yesterday afternoon. I sent her a message when I arrived at noon today, and then she came down... But now Hongye has gone back upstairs to the top floor suite to rest."

"Hongye? Oh, the girl from the Ooka family."

Hattori Shizuka thought about it for a moment and immediately reacted.

"But can you use so much on her alone? Can she withstand your strength, Bell? Will you hurt her?"

"In fact, there was another one..."

Serabelle defended herself carefully.

After hearing this, although Hattori Shizuka didn't show much change on the surface, her tone was obviously stern.

"Who?"

Serabelle could only tell the truth.

"Mrs. Suzuki..."

"Hmm~"

It was a very explosive answer, but Hattori Shizuka didn't seem too surprised.

To be precise, she had a premonition of this a long time ago. After all, think about it, the Suzuki Group has been constantly reporting in the news since last year about its close cooperation with Serabelle.

Usually this kind of news paves the way for subsequent engagement news.

But it has been more than a year, and not only is there still no sign of the engagement, but even the interpersonal relationships of the second daughter of the Suzuki Group have become more and more distant, and they are almost strangers.

This is the simplest method of elimination. Since the second young lady has almost become a passerby, and the eldest young lady Ayako has long been married to the Tomisawa Group, the only one left is... well, I know it without saying it.

"I see. This is what the Suzuki Group is planning."

After thinking for a moment, Hattori Shizuka pursed her lips and smiled softly.

"It's indeed a good move."

"……what?"

Serabelle looked confused.

As a former MI6 investigator, he knew a little about the twists and turns of the civil service system, but he knew nothing about the history of family marriages.

"Nothing."

Hattori Shizuka was rarely naughty and lightly tapped the boy's forehead with her fingertips.

After all, Suzuki Tomoko only said half of what she wanted to say in bed in the afternoon.

It is true that the Ooka family has now reached the point where it must make the right marriage in order to advance further. Any other marriage with any other family in Kansai can only barely maintain the status quo.

But this does not mean that she did this purely because of the relationship between Serabelle and Ooka Momiji and wanted to help the Ooka family.

It is almost impossible for a businessman to do charity purely for the sake of charity, let alone doing charity for his competitors.

The so-called marriage is actually a long-term and reliable cooperation agreement. In Japan, a society with clear hierarchy and seniority, the declining Ooka family really needs a helping hand from a super-large conglomerate like the Suzuki Group, which is in its heyday.

The Suzuki Group also needs to use the Ooka family's background to do things that cannot be accomplished by simply piling up money.

For example, the commercial layout in the Kansai region.

Although the secret treasures of the Tsar’s family that were exhibited in Osaka were in the Suzuki Foundation’s own art museum, this was just a trivial matter.

To put it bluntly, building an art museum and holding a cultural relics exhibition are nothing, but if the Suzuki Group wants to further encroach on the Kansai territory, it will definitely attract concentrated resistance from all capital in the entire Kansai region.

At times like this, we have to rely on the name of the Ooka family.

In this way, it seems that the Ooka family has made a comeback, but in fact it is just a cover, and the Suzuki Group is still the one manipulating it behind the scenes.

She is really amazing, she is worthy of being the real mistress of the Suzuki Group.

Hattori Shizuka couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and her body consciously stretched out her arms and hugged the boy's neck.

"So, it seems that neither Mrs. Suzuki nor Miss Hongye were able to satisfy Sera-kun this afternoon. But it doesn't matter, Jinghua will take care of all the aftermath--

The kimono wife stood on tiptoe and whispered softly into Serabelle's ear.

"Just think of it as a way to share some of the room charges. Please feel free to use Jinghua tonight."

Chapter 823 Yesterday was Jinghua's dangerous day

Drop drop... drop drop...

When the morning alarm clock rang in the room that had been silent all night, the girl curled up in the quilt on the bed moved slightly.

"Hmm~"

Opening her still sleepy eyes, Ooka Hongye forced herself to resist the urge to turn over and fall asleep again. She threw away the cup on her body and sat up from the bed with some difficulty.

sleepy……

But there is no way, since the alarm clock has rung, I have to get up.

If you don't get up when the alarm goes off, then the alarm loses its meaning.

Besides, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, which was not too early considering that we had to arrive at the hospital near Nagoya Airport before ten o'clock.

So I turned off the alarm clock, got out of bed, put on my slippers, walked out of the bedroom, crossed the long corridor to the bathroom and started washing up.

The hotel's top-floor suite is quite spacious, covering an entire floor. Compared with Ooka Momiji's daily activity area, it is too big and too deserted.

But there is no other way, the daughter of the Ooka family has to have such a presence when she travels.

This is true in Kansai, and even more so in Kanto.

In the bathroom, the Kyoto girl who was squeezing toothpaste inadvertently looked up at herself in the mirror, with slightly dark circles under her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly in frustration.

"What on earth am I struggling with..."

This is both a complaint and a consolation to myself.

In fact, according to Ooka Hongye's normal schedule, she shouldn't have gotten up so late, nor should she have had such difficulty getting up.
