I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

After leaving the cramped environment of the elevator where the surveillance camera was pointed at her face, Akai Mary finally broke the silence.

"The female lawyer I met downstairs just now seemed to be quite familiar with you guys."

She added the word "们" somewhat awkwardly and reluctantly.

"I can't say we're familiar with each other."

Sera Masumi said without hesitation: "Lawyer Hime may be more familiar with my brother. As for me, I have only met her once, in a coffee shop on my first day in Japan."

"Then I did it twice, once in the cafe, and once when I went to Fujieda's house to handle a commission last time." Serabelle was a little confused, "Didn't I tell you that?"

Akai Mary turned her head and stared at him before uttering two words indifferently.

"I didn't say it."

“…That’s what I forgot.”

Serabelle readily admitted her mistake.

The girl with tiger teeth tilted her head and watched the two of them talking to each other. She always felt that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

After a little thought, she asked, "Mom, do you hate Lawyer Fei?"

"No, why do you ask?"

Akai Mary turned her eyes and asked back.

Sera Masumi was speechless for a moment: "Well...how should I put it? It feels like you, mom, are...uh, should I say wary of Lawyer Hime? I can't really tell. But I think what Lawyer Hime said downstairs before was just unintentional. After all, she doesn't know your true identity, mom."

"I don't care about that."

As if not wanting to continue this topic, the British girl turned her head back and continued walking forward.

Feeling that something was still a little off but not daring to ask further, Masumi Sera had no choice but to turn his questioning gaze towards Serabell.

'Brother, do you know what's going on?'

Serabelle thought about it seriously, then shook her head firmly.

……

The perspective changes, and above the beach, there is blue sea and sky, and seagulls soaring.

As it was approaching noon, the sunlight in the sky became increasingly scorching, reflecting layers of golden light on the sea surface.

This beach is extremely large, and even with such a large number of visitors on weekends it does not seem crowded at all. Some people are playing in the water, some are playing beach volleyball, some are spreading mats to bask in the sun... everything seems so well organized.

Suddenly, a figure ran across the beach, waving his hands high and spreading the sound of vitality along the way.

"Hey~ Ran~ and little Conan, we~ are~ here~"

Everyone was attracted by such youthful behavior, but when they looked up in the direction of the sound, the wheat-colored legs that were crossing back and forth due to running had already passed by them, leaving only the girl's agile back in the distance.

At the beach near the sea, Xiaolan, who was dragging Conan to force her and her mother Kisaki Eri to swim together, also noticed the situation not far away. She couldn't help but smile and raised her arms and waved.

“Ah, it’s Sera-san, this way…”

However, before she could finish her words, she saw Masumi Sera, who had completed a running start, leap high after a standard triple jump and rushed straight towards them like a big cat pouncing on a fish.

The moment he fell into the water, huge splashes of water exploded on the sea surface, and then fell down again, followed by a drizzle.

Xiaolan and others, as the victims closest to the attack, almost endured a quarter of the water attack. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and held their breath in time, so they avoided being gulped down by a large mouthful of warm sea water.

"Mo~Sera-san, your way of appearance is too exaggerated..." Xiaolan complained in a low voice.

"Hey, sorry, sorry~"

Masumi Sera admitted her mistake very readily, but judging by the bright smile on her face, she was the type of person who was brave enough to admit it but refused to change.

Then she turned to Kisaki Eri who was standing beside her and was about to say something, but after just one glance she uttered a surprised sigh.

"Auntie, your swimsuit is so beautiful~"

Indeed, this is a completely different feeling from what Kisaki Eri usually gives people.

On weekdays, since Eri Kisaki is mostly busy with lawsuits and lawsuit-related matters, when she goes out, she usually wears a business-style OL outfit, a pair of half-frame glasses, and her long brown hair is neatly tied up.

Today, Hibiki Eri has completely unsealed herself. Not only has she taken off her heavy women's suit and put on a backless one-piece swimsuit that outlines her perfect body curves, her long hair is also draped behind her like a waterfall, floating freely with the waves.

And without the obstruction of glasses, Kisaki Eri looks particularly gentle without her makeup, and she doesn't have the sharp edge she does at work at all.

If I have to use one word to describe her, it would probably be goddess.

"Really? Thank you."

Kisaki Eri smiled politely, then she looked over the shoulder of the girl with tiger teeth and nodded in the direction of the beach.

"By the way, aren't Sera-kun and the others coming down to play with us?"

"Eh?"

Sera Masumi was slightly stunned and turned to look in that direction.

Then she saw Serabelle on the beach, concentrating and happily building a sand castle...well, a sand castle in the shape of poop.

Not to mention, the pile is quite realistic, big, smooth and round, including the color of the sand after being wetted by sea water, which is also well restored, and the most critical and most charming point on the top is also well placed.

Then, after the pile was completed, Serabelle sat down with his back to his poop sand castle, with the back of his head right next to the tip, and he lay back with his head tilted back...puff.

Tiger-fang girl: "..."

Next to Serabelle, Akai Mari, who had found a parasol from somewhere, sat under the shade of the parasol and made a gesture to her.

What I mean is - you guys play.

Ok……

Although she didn't know exactly what happened, since it was her mother's decision, she couldn't say anything.

Just as Sera Masumi withdrew her gaze and prepared to continue swimming, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Kogoro Mori and the university diving club students whom she had met in the hotel lobby in the distance.

Perhaps because it was a rare opportunity to meet a celebrity, those college students were obviously very interested in Kogoro Mouri and kept surrounding him and asking him questions.

Kogoro Mori, who was already good at bragging, felt like a fish in water and the smug smile on his face never stopped.

But for some reason, he would glance in the direction of Xiaolan and the others from time to time. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he would immediately look away and pretend that he had just seen it inadvertently.

"By the way, Mr. Maori, would you like to invite Attorney Kamii and the others to join us?"

"No, no, it would definitely ruin the fun of playing with a woman like that!"

Chapter 116: Miserable Maori Kogoro

The morning passed quickly between the waves and the beach, and in the blink of an eye it was noon.

The tour that Kisaki Eri mentioned before was actually at this beach, and it was not even far from the hotel where she was staying, just less than 50 meters east of the door.

There is no such thing as an "XXX chain store" name, nor any luxurious decoration. It is composed of a simple facade and the interior of the store. It is basically the style of a food stall.

Even the floor of the store is made of hollow wooden boards, which does not affect the customers' walking while allowing people to see the beach below, which is exactly the same as the one outside the store, when they look down.

It can be said that the store and the beach environment are perfectly integrated.

As it was dinner time, the food stall was doing very busy business and the seats inside were almost full, with only a few empty tables in the open air area on the beach outside.

Serabelle and the others barely managed to grab the last empty table in the store, so they didn't have to eat outside in the scorching midday sun.

After all, you don’t feel hot at the beach because there is cool sea water constantly washing over you, but if you just sit on the beach, it will still be quite hot.

As soon as Xiaolan sat down, she looked around, sniffed the air and then exclaimed in admiration.

"Hey~ So this is the restaurant my mom was talking about. The food here smells really good!"

"Haha, of course."

Since her daughter was satisfied with the place, Kisaki Eri was naturally happy too.

"I only found out about this place after asking someone specifically. I had a client who lived in Izu, and he said that more than half of the customers of this restaurant are locals."

Then she turned to Serabelle and the others and greeted them warmly.

"Okay, you little guys, just eat as much as you want. Auntie is treating us today, so order whatever you want!"

Unexpectedly heroic.

Sera Masumi originally wanted to ask if AA would be better, but since they said so, she naturally obeyed.

Just then, another group of people came in from outside.

Within three seconds, a familiar drake voice sounded.

"Ah, Tong Xi, it seems there is no room inside...Mr. Mao Li, how about we sit outside?"

Next came the voice of Kogoro Mori.

"Ah? I don't mind. Besides, having lunch by the beach and the sea is quite a treat!"

It was a coincidence that the college students who I saw on the beach earlier actually brought Kogoro Mouri here to have lunch at lunch time.

The duck-voiced Kunio Kawazu, who led the way in, turned around and prepared to leave. Kogoro Mouri, who was behind him, looked inside from the door of the store and saw Eri Kisaki sitting with Serabelle and others, chatting and laughing and ordering food. He was stunned.

As if he was afraid of being discovered looking at him like this, he quickly withdrew his gaze again, turned around and walked out, even letting out a faint hum.

However, Kisaki Eri, who was ordering food, looked up and chuckled.

"Ala, what a coincidence, I didn't expect them to come here too."

"Uh...yeah, yeah, that's why I said it's fate."

At the same time, Xiaolan also noticed this. Although she didn't know why her mother suddenly changed her previous attitude of ignoring her, she thought that a change was a good thing, so she continued to talk about it.

She carefully observed the changes in Kisaki Eri's expression. As long as the latter gave a slight eye signal, Xiaolan would immediately stand up and ask the waiter if they could share the table to eat together.

However, until Kisaki Eri finished flipping through the menu, she didn't even look outside the store.

"Waiter, take your order."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there."

……

The dishes were quickly served, hot steam continued to rise, and the fresh aroma of seafood filled the entire store inside and out.

Since most of the people present were minors, the atmosphere at the table gradually became lively after the drinks were poured over for thirty minutes.

In the open-air dining area outside the door, Kogoro Mori's loud and steady voice could be heard.

"Oh~ So you two are getting married next week, so this is your last dive as a single person, right?"

This is indeed a rather boring question, but I don’t know if it’s because of his celebrity buff, or maybe he’s just a simple honest person, but the groom-to-be, Masahiko Matsuzaki, actually answered this question honestly.

"Well, I don't think so, because we will come here to dive again tomorrow, so it can't be said to be the last time."

"That's it..."

It is said that sincerity is the greatest weapon. After being answered so seriously by the other party, Kogoro Mori really didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the short-haired girl Matsuzaki Haru took over, put one hand on the shoulder of her brother Matsuzaki Masahiko very intimately, and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, maybe this is the power of love. It was thanks to Kiwako's persuasion at that time, otherwise we would have spent a lot of effort to get this landlubber brother to join the diving club."

"Huh? Can you dive if you can't swim?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned.

At this time, Kawazu Kunio, with a hoarse voice, put down the drink in his hand and said as a matter of course: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't swim, just carry an oxygen tank."

"But it's really troublesome to carry an oxygen tank, so I usually use snorkeling equipment." Matsuzaki Masahiko scratched his face shyly.

"Snorkeling equipment? What is that?"

The completely new term that he had never heard of touched upon Kogoro Mori's blind spot in knowledge.

"Just use a tube to connect to the surface of the water, so that you can breathe freely without an oxygen tank." Kunio Kawazu gestured the movement of a tube going from the mouth to the ear and then to the top of the head.

"But it can only be used in good weather. If it's a rough day, it would be terrible if a wave came and poured water into the pipe."

Perhaps it was because it was a rare opportunity to meet a famous person who was talking about an area that they knew about but the famous person did not, so several college students surrounded Kogoro Maori and chattered about science.

At this moment, Toda Takako, who had almost finished eating, suddenly stood up and spoke to her sister-in-law Matsuzaki Haru beside her.

"Haru, could you please help me get a new towel in the room?"

"Now?"

Matsuzaki Haru was slightly stunned.
