I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

……

As if she had predicted the route she would take after getting off the plane, when Serabelle returned to the Haido Hotel from Kudo's residence, the aroma of food filled the familiar double suite, and the sound of oil frying came from the direction of the kitchen.

It was Akai Mari who was making dinner.

There were already four dishes on the dining table in the living room. Footsteps were heard getting closer and closer from outside the kitchen, and Masumi Sera came out carrying a plate of freshly made curry, potato and chicken cubes.

When she saw Serabelle changing her shoes at the entrance of the suite, she was stunned for a moment, then she quickly trotted to the table to put down the plate in her hand, and then turned around and ran to the latter.

Came up to give a big hug.

"Okairinasei (Welcome back), Bernie-chan!"

"I'm back, Zhenchun."

Serabel responded by hugging her gently, without any other intention.

Logically, she should have let go, but instead of letting go, Sera Masumi took the opportunity of the hug to get close to Serabell and smell her body carefully.

"what happened?"

"Well, nothing, I just felt like there was a smell."

Masumi Sera tried to describe it, but after pondering over the wording for a long time, he could only come up with a vague sentence.

"It smells pretty good."

"..."

Serabelle didn't react at first, but after a little thought, she suddenly understood.

Majun was probably talking about the smell left by Yukiko's hug before he left Kudo's house.

"Okay, let's not dwell on this anymore."

The girl with tiger teeth pursed her lips to cutely reveal her true tiger teeth, and pointed her thumb in the direction of the kitchen.

"Go tell mom too. She specially stayed up late to make dinner today to wait for you to come back, brother."

"Understood."

Serabelle responded and turned to the kitchen.

He thought Zhenchun would follow him, but after taking two steps and turning around, he found that the latter had actually sat down at the table, looking happy and waiting for the meal to start.

Just touched it directly, right?

Serabelle smiled in his heart. He knew that Zhenchun was not really lazy. He just wanted to leave some space for himself and Mary to talk.

When I stepped into the kitchen, Mary Akai was waving a spatula to fry the last dish.

Noticing Serabelle's return, she simply turned her head and glanced, then raised her chin towards the pool.

"Just wash your hands and you can eat right away."

"Good~"

The dinner process was the same as usual. The three of them sat at the table and ate and chatted. Most of the time, Sera Masumi was talking about what happened in school or what she saw in the news, while Serabel was in charge of the supporting role, and Akai Mary occasionally made a comment. The atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant.

Then time quickly came to after dinner.

Tomorrow is still a workday, and normally Sera Masumi should be back in her bedroom doing her homework by now.

However, today was different. She remained sitting in the living room until Serabel helped Akai Mari clean up the pots and dishes.

The meaning was clear. She also wanted to hear what Serabelle had experienced in New York and what news she had obtained.

And then... no more.

The poor girl with tiger teeth was sent back to her bedroom to do her homework by her old mother with just one word.

And Serabel was also dragged to his own room by Akai Mari.

Close the door tightly and lock it.

Before Serabel even spoke, Akai Mari spoke first.

"Let me tell you first. The day before yesterday at noon you called me while you were taking a shower. I heard someone calling you at the bathroom door."

"Oh, that day was Sister Yukiko..."

Noticing the change in the British girl's eyes, Serabelle somewhat awkwardly ignored the second word "sister".

"She and I just had a face-off with the Black Organization. She was probably a little frightened and couldn't sleep at night, so she came to find me..."

However, he was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"You did it?"

“…I did.”

"several times?"

Chapter 111 Using Her as a Breakthrough

Sometimes this is how a strange desire to win comes from.

Two hours later, they were still in Serabelle's room.

At this time, it was completely dark outside the Beihu Hotel. The windows of the room were open, and the bright moonlight blew in with the evening breeze from high in the sky, and disappeared the moment it touched the bright lights in the room.

The air was filled with the faint scent of shower gel and shampoo.

Serabelle was sitting at the coffee table by the window in the room, and Akai Mari was sitting directly opposite him. There were two teacups and a pot of hot tea between them, and a hazy white mist was rising from the spout of the pot.

Akai Mari held the phone in her hand with her head lowered, tapping the screen with her thumb quickly and continuously as if she was sending a text message.

After editing, click Send.

Maybe it was only ten to twenty seconds, and suddenly there was a beeping sound from the door of the room, indicating the access control was unlocked.

Then the door was pushed open from the outside, and a boyish face peeked in from the crack of the door.

"Then I'll come in... Ouch!"

Out of habit, Masumi Sera wanted to push the door open and walk in, but the door was pulled open a short while ago by a force and could not be opened any further. She did not stop her head when she stuck it in, and accidentally bumped it against the door frame.

Fortunately it didn't get stuck.

She gasped and touched the place where she was hit. The girl with tiger teeth grinned, looked down and immediately exclaimed.

"Oh, mom, what are you going to do? The anti-theft chain is up, so I can't get in."

"…Bell, go help Masumi open it."

After exerting a little force and feeling the degree of soreness in her legs, Akai Mary decisively passed the blame to someone across the table.

Serabelle had no choice but to do as she was told.

After being let in, Sera Masumi covered her head and muttered, "Bernini-chan and mom, what on earth are you talking about in the room? Why do you have to put up the anti-theft chain?"

After all, the anti-theft link is the ultimate physical anti-theft, and it is usually only put up when there is someone in the room and they are sleeping.

But now both of them are in the room and not sleeping, so why put up the anti-theft chain?

Serabelle couldn't answer this question because he wasn't the one who died.

Akai Mary lowered her head to drink tea: "I forgot and just hung it up casually."

"And then you locked your daughter out, right?"

Sera Masumi continued to mutter, but suddenly stopped midway through her words, then sniffed and frowned subtly.

"Mom, have you taken a bath?"

"..."

Hearing this, Serabelle's heart skipped a beat.

There was nothing wrong with the question asked by Masaharu Sera, but as the saying goes, the speaker may not have any intention, but the listener may take it to heart.

They did take a bath, um... together.

Fortunately, Akai Mary had anticipated this and replied calmly, "Don't you see what time it is? Besides, I have something to talk about when you finish your homework today, so I washed it early."

There is nothing wrong with this answer...

"So you were waiting for me to finish my homework. I thought Mom and Bernie-chan weren't going to let me know." Sera Masumi complained.

Akai Mari seemed a little amused. "I just want you to finish what you need to do first. Besides, there's no need to hide this kind of thing from you."

"So you're hiding something else from me?"

The tiger-fanged girl's casual remark caused Akai Mari to fall into a brief silence.

After pausing for about half a second, she raised her chin towards the chair next to the coffee table and changed the subject.

"sit down."

"Oh……"

At this point, all three of them were seated.

Serabelle coughed lightly and began to explain bit by bit what happened during her trip to New York.

He spoke in great detail, starting from the time the plane landed, to meeting Chris Wynyard disguised as sheriff at the theater door, to watching a series of events that happened during the rehearsal including a murder, to solving the murder and leaving the theater, and finally to working with Vermouth in an abandoned industrial park on Long Island to finally escape safely from the siege of the winery.

Of course, he also appropriately omitted some content that is not suitable for children.

For example, Yukiko's ventriloquism performance.

The oral process was a bit lengthy, but because Serabelle kept the sentences as concise as possible, it took less than ten minutes to finish.

Both Akai Mary and Sera Masumi listened very seriously, but the former fell into deep thought while the latter had an expression as if her CPU was completely screwed.

"Wait...wait a minute, according to Bernie-chan, Chrissie Wynyard is her mother, Sharon Wynyard, and she is also a member of that organization, codenamed Vermouth?"

"That's it." Serabelle spread her hands.

"But how is this possible..."

Sera Masumi scratched his head vigorously.

"Isn't that equivalent to saying that Sharon Wynyard doesn't have a daughter at all, and that the so-called daughter is actually a character she played herself, and has maintained her youthful appearance for more than 20 years?"

Elixir of life, right?

Well, it’s actually nothing. After all, my own mother has regained her youth, so it’s no big deal for others to remain immortal.

At this time, Akai Mary, who had been silent and thinking, spoke, frowning slightly.

"If that's the case, I think my previous inference may be wrong. I thought that woman... Vermouth gave me the drug purely to kill me, but now it seems that she is likely the one who knew about this 'side effect'."

The British girl said as she looked up at Serabelle.

"And the sister of the girl you rescued before also said that there are very few people in the organization who know the true effect of the drug. Vermouth might be one of them, but she pretended not to know and drugged me, and deliberately exposed the true purpose of the organization."

"Well, this matter is indeed quite strange."

Serabelle once again recalled the negotiations in the factory building.

"Vermouth gives me a strange feeling. It's as if although she holds a high position in the organization, she is not loyal to the organization for some reason. She even hopes that the organization will be destroyed. However, since she does not have such power, she has always chosen to lie dormant. However, as long as someone shows the power to destroy the organization, she does not mind helping... Of course, she is under the premise that her own safety can be guaranteed no matter what the result is."

"I also have this feeling."

Akai Mary nodded in affirmation.

"And since she chose to cooperate with you this time, it means she thinks you are a potential stock worth taking risks to invest in. Maybe you can use her as a breakthrough point to contact the organization."

"Use her as a breakthrough point? Is that really okay?" Sera Masumi never expected that her mother would make such a decision.

Akai Mary shook her head: "The process doesn't matter, what matters is the final result."

"All right……"

Shrinking her head to show that she had no objection, the girl with tiger teeth paused for a moment and then raised her index finger.

"Speaking of which, do you want to go out and play this weekend? I just finished my homework and checked my phone. It seems that the beach in Izu is very popular recently!"

...the beach?
