"No, as long as the villa is big enough, it's fine. I want to talk to you about something else." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair. Although she knew that the three little ones next to her were looking at her, she didn't want to deliberately move away from them to answer the phone somewhere else.
"I didn't think too much about it before, but when Sonoko called me, I realized that the friend I wanted to borrow the villa from was of some unusual status." Shizuka Hiratsuka pursed her lips and lowered her voice a little.
"Koko Heikemedia, I wonder if Mr. Suzuki knows this person."
"Hekmedia, although I'm not very familiar with it, this name is quite famous in the world." There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone, and then Suzuki Shiro's laughter rang out again.
"It just so happens that although I'm not familiar with the Suzuki family and the Heikemedia family, I've heard about this family from a friend."
"Why, is it their daughter who wants to borrow the villa this time?"
"Yes, it would be easier if you knew that. I'm just a little worried. I don't know if it will have any negative impact on you. After all, you know the business they are in charge of."
"Is that so? There's nothing difficult about this. Miss Hiratsuka, you're worrying too much." Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's concerns, Suzuki Shiro smiled calmly.
"It's just that my son Sono is lending out a vacant villa from the Suzuki family to repay her sister for taking care of her for many years. It won't have any impact."
"Is that so? That means it won't matter if Koko and the others come to Neon for activities." Blinking, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked the question she wanted to know most.
Although Koko kept telling herself that she would handle it, Shizuka Hiratsuka was still somewhat worried about whether there would be any negative impact after they came to Neon.
"I believe that Miss Heikemedia will be safe the moment she steps onto Neon." His voice was soft and steady, and Suzuki Shiro did not directly answer Hiratsuka Shizuka's words.
"And Miss Hiratsuka is with them, isn't she?"
"That's true." She nodded with a smile. Although she didn't get a direct answer, Shizuka Hiratsuka was sure of what she was thinking.
She would not let anything happen to Koko in Neon. If it was impossible, she would try to get rid of Kong Lao and the others. If that didn't work, she would go and act like a spoiled child to her master. Anyway, Shizuka Hiratsuka was still somewhat confident about safety.
The call ended relatively quickly, and after getting the answer she wanted, Shizuka Hiratsuka no longer refused the villa provided by Sonoko. She even agreed to have dinner at the Suzuki house when she had time, amid Suzuki Shiro's laughter.
"Master." Seeing Suzuki Shiro hang up the phone, the butler standing next to him called softly.
"It's okay. Remember to give the key to Sonoko after school." There was a slight pause and Shiro Suzuki blinked.
"The one sent to Villa No. 3."
"I understand, sir." His eyes changed slightly, and the butler slowly stepped back.
"Is that true?" Thinking back to what Shizuka Hiratsuka said on the phone as if she didn't care, Suzuki Shiro slowly narrowed his eyes.
"She is truly a very confident and mysterious lady."
. . .
"So, my dad also said there's no problem!" After taking the phone from Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand, Sonoko smiled again.
"Yes, yes, you are so good, Sonoko. You dare to show me your displeasure." Looking at Sonoko's smug expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and rubbed her hair in annoyance.
"So the problem is solved?" Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka and Sonoko quarreling again, Xiaolan smiled as if she was relieved.
"Well, there's no problem."
"Um, Sister Jing, what exactly is the identity of your friend? Can't you tell me at all?" It didn't seem to be consistent with her usual personality, but Yukino's curiosity did make her take the initiative to bring up the matter that Shizuka Hiratsuka had deliberately glossed over.
Simply put, she was a little anxious.
"Well..." Scratching her hair and looking at the three pairs of sparkling eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka hesitated for a moment, but still spoke helplessly.
"It's okay if you want to know, but don't talk nonsense afterwards, okay?"
"Yeah!" The three little heads nodded quickly, and their curiosity was all attracted by Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"My friend has a special identity." Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned forward slightly and consciously lowered her voice.
"She's an arms dealer."
"..."
"Ok?"
"Eh!"
"Wow!"
After a moment of silence, Xiaolan and the other two girls all widened their eyes after finding the meaning of arms dealer from their vocabulary.
They never imagined that this legendary figure to them was actually Shizuka Hiratsuka's friend.
"Okay, okay, you already know, so don't ask anymore." Seeing what the three little girls were thinking, Shizuka Hiratsuka decisively changed the subject.
"By the way, what were you guys doing gathered at the door after class?"
Chapter 266: Things have been a bit turbulent lately
"Ah, us?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka satisfied the curiosity in her heart, but what followed was even greater surprise and excitement.
However, seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka changed the subject so directly, Xiaolan, Yukino and the others knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't want to talk about this topic too much.
But they could understand this. After all, arms dealers were too far away from their lives.
"We are planning to go and help distribute flyers for Tamonsuke on the weekend. Their traveling theater troupe is having a performance soon and they need a lot of audiences to come and watch it." After satisfying her curiosity, Sonoko, who felt a little empty, was no longer bored and soon became excited.
As for the reason, Shizuka Hiratsuka could more or less guess it.
"Tamonosuke? The new student in our class, Ito Tamonsuke." Nodding in understanding, and thinking of the other person's face which could definitely be described as handsome and handsome, Shizuka Hiratsuka also understood why Sonoko was so concerned about him.
"You really are so idle that you have nothing to do." Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head helplessly. She didn't want to say anything to discourage the two little girls' kindness.
"But if you go to help, it's better not to bring Conan with you." After finishing the food on her plate, Shizuka Hiratsuka hesitated for a moment and said something subtle.
"Hey, why, Aunt Jing?" Xiaolan looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with some curiosity. She didn't know why Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly said that.
"Well, I think that although Conan is very smart and much more mature than other kids, it's not good for him to stay with you all the time on weekends. Kids should have their own social circle." Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded seriously, and her words even deceived herself.
"That's true, but don't worry, Aunt Jing. Conan has good friends at school." Xiaolan smiled and blinked, but she was not that worried.
After all, Conan is a very obedient child at home except for his worrying behavior in special circumstances.
"Don't worry, Sister Jing, we don't want to take a burden with us out." Yuanzi waved his hand carelessly and spoke with a smile.
She has always been very rude to Conan. She felt that the kid was very arrogant. He was still a child, but he always looked down on others.
"Okay, I don't think I have much free time recently, so you don't have to call me if you have any activities."
"Then, can we go play with you, Sister Jing?" With her eyes wide open in excitement, Sonoko looked straight at Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Not only Sonoko, but even Ran and Yukino beside her looked over secretly.
"There's nothing strange about it. They look no different from ordinary people." Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a headache and was helpless as she scratched her head. She didn't know why children were so curious.
"But we are just curious!" Sonoko crossed her arms and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a sense of righteousness.
"I've never seen an arms dealer in my entire life! Sister Jing, could you please be so kind as to take us along for some fun? We're in Neon anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"No, no, Neon is not as safe as you think." Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew how persistent Sonoko would be when she encountered something that interested her.
"We'll see when the time comes. If they all think it's okay, I'll take you guys to play for a while. But you can't cause any trouble for me then!"
"Long live, long live Sister Jing!"
Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka who compromised after Sonoko's persuasion, Xiaolan and Yukino also smiled slightly.
They all knew that if they went to Shizuka Hiratsuka and whispered to her in a coquettish voice, Shizuka Hiratsuka would eventually agree. However, since they had such a useful pioneer like Sonoko, they didn't need to waste any effort.
. . .
"Wow~"
After opening the familiar paper door, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her eyebrows as she looked at the somewhat empty pub, then sat down opposite the fat man at his invitation.
"What's wrong? Why are there so few people in the pub today?" After finishing a day's work smoothly, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who suddenly felt a little greedy, told Fujiko that she would go home late in the evening and came to the pub in high spirits.
But the situation in the tavern today is a little different.
Unlike the usual bustling tavern full of monsters, there are obviously at least six fewer monsters sitting in the tavern today.
"They are all busy with their work. Things haven't been peaceful lately." Smilingly, the fat man turned over the cup and poured a glass of wine for Shizuka Hiratsuka. While finishing his barbecue, he answered Shizuka Hiratsuka's questions.
"Not peaceful? What's going on that even requires Yingluo to go out?" He raised his eyebrows. After everything was talked out, Shizuka Hiratsuka got to know the monsters in the tavern again.
At the same time, we also have a clear understanding of their strength.
Putting aside the boss in the tavern, the foreigner Kong who has rarely taken action, the one with the strongest overall strength is Hua Jian Yingluo, who is called Hua Ye by the monsters.
Although I have not seen the full strength of Huajian Yingluo and Fatty with my own eyes, but in the words of Fatty.
The Mist Tengu that had caused Shizuka Hiratsuka a lot of trouble before, if the fat man exerts his full strength, it will be no problem for him to beat five of them alone.
"What's going on? Is that monster organization? Are they active again?" Looking at the steaming food that suddenly appeared on the table, Shizuka Hiratsuka, knowing that it was prepared for her by Master Kong in the kitchen, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece without caring.
Anyway, everything has been talked about, so there is no need to hide anything from each other.
Look, over in the corner, there are two monsters who are so drunk that they don’t even bother to maintain their human form. They are gesturing at something.
"I guess so. That guy Saki hasn't appeared in our sight for a long time. This time, when the news suddenly came out, everyone knew that it would definitely cause a big turmoil. But what makes us headache is that we haven't gained anything useful so far. We can only keep working hard." Scratching his stomach, the fat man also felt a headache when talking about the monster organization.
He has been very busy these days, so this kind of guy who hides himself is really annoying. If you have something to say, just come out in the open!
"And due to many reasons, we haven't been able to communicate much with the human government. This is an agreed-upon matter. Monsters are not allowed to get involved in human affairs, but humans clearly have their own organizations to deal with monsters."
"Well, I can understand this to some extent." Looking at the fat man who was a little bored, Shizuka Hiratsuka also spoke to comfort him.
After all, the identities of these monsters in the tavern are indeed a bit embarrassing in the eyes of the officials.
"Speaking of which, Fatty, there are some things I'm quite curious about."
Chapter 267 I'm much more ruthless than the fat guy
"Should we make a decision as soon as possible?"
With her hands in her pockets, Shizuka Hiratsuka strolled down the street, slowly heading towards her apartment.
In the tavern, Shizuka Hiratsuka learned a lot about monsters from the fat man that she didn't know before.
They also knew that unless it was absolutely necessary, this group of monsters would never take the initiative to get involved in human affairs. After all, compared to those monsters who had reached a consensus with humans and complemented each other, the monsters in the tavern were more in favor of wildness and freedom, had no ambitions, but were relatively casual in doing things.
The most important thing is what Fatty said to Shizuka Hiratsuka about Yukino at the end.
"Can't it be delayed too long?" Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair in distress and sighed slowly.
Because of her hesitation before, Shizuka Hiratsuka had never explained the matter clearly to Yukino, but this time the fat man told Shizuka Hiratsuka very seriously.
Because Shizuka Hiratsuka is now in more and more contact with monsters, and the energy in her body has begun to undergo a transformation, Yukino's body, which is already weak in spiritual energy, may be stimulated by the energy emitted from Shizuka Hiratsuka's body, thus causing adverse effects on her body.
"Find time as soon as possible to have a good talk with Yukino."
The forward steps slowly stopped, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her head and looked at the suddenly empty streets around her with a frown.
It wasn't too late when I got home. Based on past experience, this street shouldn't be so deserted.
"Oh, did you find it~" accompanied by a somewhat cute voice, a cloaked voice slowly emerged from the shade of the trees beside the street.
The moment she saw this figure, Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes lit up.
It is not so easy for her to forget this figure.
"I did find out, but you didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding it, did you?" Twisting her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka took her hand out of her pocket and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"I didn't expect to see you again. What's up? Is there anything we didn't finish talking about last time we met in the forest?"
"I guess so. After all, our leader is very interested in you. So I am also a little curious about what is so special about you, a woman." The face under the cloak could not be seen clearly, but it did not affect Shizuka Hiratsuka's dislike for him.
Well, there is no word of discrimination in Shizuka Hiratsuka's life dictionary. She just simply hates this sarcastic guy in front of her.
"If your leader didn't even tell you this, then it seems that you are not your leader's confidant~" With a mocking smile on her lips, after confirming with Master Kong and her own master, Shizuka Hiratsuka was very clear that she and the monster named Saki and his organization were definitely not two parties that could coexist peacefully.
"You guy!"
"Oh, by the way, actually I do know a little about you." Without giving the other party time to get angry and curse, Shizuka Hiratsuka had a subtle smile on her face, crossed her hands together, and moved them gently.
"Fatty told me that your name is Mirage. Aside from your abilities being relatively suitable for spying and tracking, you're a complete mess in combat. Fighting you is worse than finding a place to sleep."
"That fat guy..."
"Also, he said that as a monster you should have the awareness of a monster. Why not live an upright life? But you say disdainful things, but you imitate Ying Luo in every way. And you don't have her cuteness, which makes people feel disgusted."
"I (TM)."
