Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"Aunt Jing, what if Kyogoku-san were compared with the kids from your village?"

"Uh, compared with the people in our village?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked blankly, thought about it for a moment and shook her head with a smile.

"Then he's still a long way off~"

"Really?" Xiaolan nodded slightly. After hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, she didn't ask any more questions, but her curiosity about the village that she had always heard Shizuka Hiratsuka talk about since she was a child became even stronger.

Not only Xiaolan, but also Yukino, Sonoko, and Conan, who also knew some of Hiratsuka Shizuka's background, all suppressed their curiosity and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

They all really wanted to know what kind of village it was that could produce a remarkable woman like Hiratsuka Shizuka.

But they also knew that no matter how much they begged and pleaded, Shizuka Hiratsuka would never tell them any news about the village.

"But we have gained a lot from this trip~" Seeing that the car suddenly became quiet, Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes turned and she spoke with a smile.

"Yukino, Ai is having fun, right~"

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun, Sister Jing."

"It's really relaxing." They nodded in unison. This trip was indeed very good for Yukino and Ai.

Ai was happy that her relationship with Shizuka Hiratsuka became closer.

As for Yukino, her happiness might be more direct.

For example, in her phone's hidden album, the nearly 300 photos of someone in a swimsuit were enough for Yukino to admire one by one during the long night.

"But if we talk about the one who gained the most among us, it has to be our Sonoko~" Without stopping the topic, Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, and naturally shifted everyone's attention to Sonoko, who was unusually quiet and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Hey, what's wrong with me?" Sonoko was rarely flustered when she suddenly heard her own name.

He coughed lightly and looked at everyone pretending to be calm.

"Hey, Sonoko, how does it feel to be confessed to so directly~" Looking at Sonoko in the rearview mirror with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka completely abandoned her reserve as an elder and took the lead in starting the fight.

"Ah. I don't feel anything at all, ahahaha~"

"A hero saving a beautiful girl? I've only seen this scene in books and on TV. I never thought Sonoko would actually experience it herself. I'm really envious."

"If you're envious, could you please be more sincere in your tone, Yukinoshita?"

"Ah, I remember that Sonoko and Kyogoku-san exchanged phone numbers when they left. How romantic~"

"What's so romantic about this! Didn't you and your Shinichi husband already swap positions a long time ago?"

"Oh, Sonoko-sister is shy~"

"I didn't, you little brat!"

"Yeah, I'm shy indeed."

"I! I didn't!!"

Chapter 331: Sorry to contact you

It was a rare opportunity to tease Sonoko, and Shizuka Hiratsuka was in a very good mood.

Although Sonoko always talks about finding a handsome guy, Shizuka Hiratsuka is very clear that she is just a little girl who is only good at talking big. Not to mention having a boyfriend, even when a man really approaches her, she will not seem comfortable.

This time, whether it is Shizuka Hiratsuka, Ran, Conan and others who are familiar with Sonoko's character all know that Sonoko is really attracted to Kyogoku Makoto.

After all, Kyogoku Makoto is different from all the boys who appeared in front of Sonoko in the past.

Moreover, Hiratsuka Shizuka is particularly optimistic about Kyogoku Makoto. His skills are one thing, but more importantly, his character and personality make Hiratsuka Shizuka feel that if Sonoko can really develop a relationship with him, then the result may be very good.

As for things like being well-matched.

To be honest, if family background really matters, with the Suzuki family's assets, Sonoko can bluntly say to all the men of the right age in Japan, "You can show off your wealth as much as you want, but you can't compare to my arrogance anyway."

The Suzuki family no longer needs to consolidate its position in Japan by means of marriage with other chaebols. Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki have always let Sonoko and Ayako's marriage go their own way.

If your daughter has someone she likes, you can bring him/her home to meet her. If not, when she is about the same age, they can help her find some suitable blind dates.

So in Shizuka Hiratsuka's opinion, if Kyogoku Makoto performs well, he and Sonoko will still have a very great chance.

At least, Shizuka Hiratsuka herself doesn't mind giving him a push from behind.

But before that, she still needs to report her idea to her master~

"So, Sister Jing, do you want to take in an apprentice?" A somewhat lazy voice sounded from the other end of the phone, but just by listening to the voice, you could tell what a listless person this person was.

"Yeah, since it's hard to get through to my master on the phone, I'll just contact you directly." Leaning back on the sofa, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled casually.

This was the latest information Might Guy gave me after he came to Tokyo to meet me.

Anyway, there is no need to hide the matter from Shizuka Hiratsuka like before, so the situation in the village can be a little more relaxed.

Everyone is clear about Shizuka Hiratsuka's character and knows that she will not easily reveal their existence, so there is no need to be the bad guy and hide everything from Shizuka Hiratsuka.

However, this is a common problem among the people in the village. The older generation is not very good at using electronic devices. So after thinking about it, Might Guy left Shikamaru's phone number to Shizuka Hiratsuka so that she could contact the village easily if she had any problems.

Even though Shikamaru's fighting power is not the best among the younger generation in the village, his mind is definitely second to none.

Even Tsunade, when she was upset, would ask Shikamaru and his father to help with the village work, and she would go aside to drink.

"Accept a disciple." Shikamaru scratched his hair. He felt a little awed and afraid of Hiratsuka Shizuka in his heart.

It cannot be said that they are not close, but the years that Shizuka Hiratsuka studied in the village did leave a lot of shadows on these young people.

The titles of Hiratsuka Demon King and Big Sister Jing were all earned by Hiratsuka Shizuka through teachings with a grim smile!

Shikamaru still doesn't understand why Shizuka Hiratsuka is so interested in these kids who are about ten years younger than her, and can never stop teasing them.

However, when he thought of the villagers who were about the same age as Hiratsuka Shizuka, Shikamaru felt much more balanced.

Anyway, he was not the one who was bullied the most. You know, now when they have dinner together, whenever Naruto mentions Shizuka Hiratsuka, his expression becomes unnatural, his tone becomes forced, and he can't help but want to cry when he hears Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"If Sister Jing just wants to take in a fighting disciple, I don't think the village should have any problems." Shikamaru was a little casual, gently turning the pen in his hand.

After all, everyone in the village knows about Shizuka Hiratsuka's attitude.

Ever since Shizuka Hiratsuka entered the village, she has been the most popular person in the village. Her unpretentious, carefree yet attentive and kind personality makes everyone in the village like her very much.

To exaggerate, the older ones all regarded Hiratsuka Shizuka as their own daughter, and those of similar age regarded her as their older sister or younger sister. Even the younger generations who were bullied regarded her as their own aunt.

Not to mention that there is a village chief in the village who is nominally Shizuka Hiratsuka's master, but his private desires make people want to complain.

Shikamaru still remembered that when Might Guy came back from outside the village and brought back the news that Shizuka Hiratsuka had been attacked by a monster, the village almost rioted.

If there weren't some relatively calm elders keeping the situation under control, Tsunade would have rushed out of the village with a group of red-eyed guys to start a fight with the monsters!

Well, the ones who shouted the loudest among the younger generation at that time were Naruto and Rock Lee.

"If you want to take him to learn something else, Sister Jing, it shouldn't be a problem to tell the village." Shikamaru tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his tone a little helpless.

"But Sister Jing should remember that it's better not to expose too much of our existence. The current balance was achieved after going through a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry about that. I know it's not like I don't understand everything." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile. This was just a temporary thought, and she didn't know the specific situation yet.

Although she couldn't bear to see Kyogoku Makoto's talent go to waste, she was not the kind of person who would rush to have someone become her apprentice.

"Okay, then I'll just look around here. When I get back to the village, I'll bring you some gifts~"

"Then I'll look forward to it." Shikamaru chuckled and blinked, as if he had thought of something.

"Sister Jing, would you like to have a word with the village chief? I can transfer the call to him."

"Forget it, let's wait until we have time. It will take too long to talk to the master." Without any hesitation, Shizuka Hiratsuka rejected Shikamaru's proposal.

"Well then, goodbye, Big Sister Jing."

"Okay, bye~" After hanging up the phone happily, Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched lazily and glanced at Shuai Shuai standing beside her.

"Handsome..." Before she could even utter the call, Hiratsuka Shizuka's phone rang again.

"Hmm?" Looking at the unfamiliar overseas call, Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment and then frowned, but her hands did not stop moving at all.

"Hey!"

"Jing, I'm so sorry to contact you."

Chapter 332: All parties move together

"I understand. I'll be there right away. Wait for me, Koko."

After hanging up the phone with a serious expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka let out a long sigh and walked to her room without any hesitation to take out her luggage bag.

After quickly packing a few of her frequently used clothes, Shizuka Hiratsuka checked the nearest flight to South America on her mobile phone and quickly placed an order.

"What the hell is going on?" There were still five hours before the plane took off, but Shizuka Hiratsuka was in no hurry and rushed directly to the airport.

Sitting on the sofa, she recalled the call from Koko just now with a headache.

Although Koko and the others did not tell her what she was planning, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew that it must be something very dangerous.

If nothing had happened, Shizuka Hiratsuka wouldn't bother asking anything and would just pretend not to know. However, bad luck is not something you can avoid just because you don't want to be involved.

"How heavy is the burden that Koko and the others have to bear! How dare they do such a thing?" Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair in pain. She couldn't explain how subtle and resentful her mood was.

"Forget it, all the complaints are useless. Let's wait until we see Koko with our own eyes."

Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka lit a cigarette, and as the smoke lingered, she picked up her phone.

There are some things she still needs to arrange.

. . .

"Hey, Brother Jing, what's the matter with you suddenly going abroad?"

When Shizuka Hiratsuka opened the door of the tavern, the fat man's curious voice rang out.

"There are some things that I have to do." He shook his head slightly, carried his backpack and walked to the seat with the handsome Shizuka Hiratsuka and sat down.

Originally, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't want to take Shuai Shuai with her and planned to leave Shuai Shuai with Yukino to help look after him for a few days. But as soon as she was about to go out, Shuai Shuai jumped onto Shizuka Hiratsuka's shoulder and refused to get down no matter how Shizuka Hiratsuka coaxed or poked him.

"Is that so?" The fat man scratched his head in distress, his expression somewhat helpless.

"Brother Jing, you don't have to worry about home. We will not only help look after the little girl who is studying with Shi Lan, but also the other people around you." Hiratsuka Jing poured a glass of wine, and Huajian Yingluo, who was sitting next to Hiratsuka Jing, spoke softly.

"It's just that we are a little worried about you."

"Worried about me?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked in confusion after taking Huajian Yingluo's wine glass.

"Yes." Huajian Yingluo nodded seriously. She was already very clear about Hiratsuka Shizuka's identity and no longer had her usual frivolous smile on her face.

"For some reasons, we monsters generally don't leave Neon on our own initiative, but there are some monsters that are different."

"for example?"

"For example, I have always been very interested in you, Brother Jing, Saki!" Huajian Yingluo said softly after drinking the wine in her glass in one gulp.

"Actually, we haven't found Saki's real whereabouts yet, but the information we heard is correct. Saki has his own forces abroad."

"And with Saki's personality, if you, Jing, leave Neon, neither we nor the village behind you will be able to follow you out very well. In this case, he will definitely take action."

"I left secretly, it can't be such a coincidence." Shizuka Hiratsuka said with some lack of confidence, her pretty eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

After these encounters, she also realized that the monster named Saki was somewhat difficult to deal with.

"It's better to be safe than sorry, right?" Shaking her head slightly, Huajian Yingluo laughed out loud as she looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a serious expression.

"However, I think with Brother Jing's personality, it is inevitable that he will go through this time."

"That's right, I have to go." Shizuka Hiratsuka also laughed and did not hide her determination.

"In that case, there's nothing more for us to persuade~" Blinking, Huajian Yingluo withdrew her gaze when she saw Shuai Shuai still on Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder.

"Mr. Kong, I think we should give Brother Jing a gift, right~"

"That's right." He chuckled and nodded. Kong Lao, who had been standing behind the counter, raised his hand. A faint light flashed between them, and a small sign with an indistinct texture but a faint metallic glow appeared in Kong Lao's palm.

"Xiao Jing, just carry this with you. It can help you avoid being sensed by monsters to a certain extent, but you still need to be careful in everything you do."

"Don't worry, Mr. Kong, I know." Nodding, Shizuka Hiratsuka took the sign from Mr. Kong without hesitation.

"Well, I'll be leaving now. Goodbye everyone~"

"Bye, Jing-ge."

The farewells from both sides were more pleasant than expected. Watching Shizuka Hiratsuka disappear in the tavern, the fat man rubbed his stomach, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
