Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

The excited female anchor screamed into the microphone:

"We! Actually! Got an invitation from Prince Gadja! To come to the private Zenad Paradise! Domon's hospitality! Next! I will give it my all! Report to everyone!"

"Ah, the Chief of Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters!"

Ryoko muttered.

The Chiba Prefectural Police Chief, a middle-aged gentleman, had been acting with dignity and composure, but as soon as his eyes met Ryoko's, he hurriedly looked away. His attitude was particularly suspicious.

"It seems we should take the initiative to say hello."

Her high heels made a resounding drumbeat as Ryoko walked towards the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters. The head's expression changed instantly, so quickly that one could almost hear the sound of "swish".

The chief turned around, gave some unknown order to his subordinates gathered around him, and immediately disappeared to the other side of the wall of people - not "as if he was going to escape", but rather fled in panic.

Crowds gathered around us:

"You are the Superintendent of Yakushiji Temple of the Metropolitan Police Department. We will be responsible for your protection."

Five or six strong uniformed police officers surrounded Ryoko and me - they pretended to be guards, but in fact they were isolating and monitoring us.

"What? Such a big fuss. I don't want any guards."

"This is an order from above, we are just following it."

"We were invited by Prince Gadega, so we can't even say hello, right?"

"Please tell your superiors about this."

In Japan, "orders from above" take precedence over the constitution and are an excuse for civil servants to shirk their responsibilities, like a magical spell.

The vast Zenad Paradise is divided into several areas.

The Fairy Tale Park is themed on legends and fairy tales, with a medieval European castle as its center. Surrounding it are the "Fairy Garden", "Swan Lake", "Puppet and Music Box Museum", etc., and is especially popular among girls.

Horror Park is themed around horror and strange stories. Centered around the "Vampire Castle," it features scenes like the "Wolf Forest," the "Vampire Bat Cave," "Jack the Ripper's Street Corner," and the "Zombie House," attracting adults more than children.

The theme of Science Adventure Park is undoubtedly the future and science and technology. Boys are particularly captivated by exhibits featuring robots, spaceships, aliens, and time machines. There's even a "Metroidvania" exhibit, where players pilot high-speed vehicles and use beam guns to battle space monsters and pirates in a CG-created universe within the dome.

There is also the Dinosaur Park, which has just reopened after a year of renovation.

From the floats carrying ballet and parade performances came waves of women's cheers:

"Wow, a Tyrannosaurus Rex! It looks exactly like the real thing!"

"What a horrible face it is."

"Because it's a carnivorous dinosaur."

Ryoko agreed, glancing around with malicious eyes.

"Zenard's concept of good and evil is very simple. Carnivorous dinosaurs are bad, and herbivorous dinosaurs are good. Isn't that the case in the movie, too?"

"I haven't seen it."

Ryoko held Shiraizumi's hand and walked slowly under the feet of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The police officers who were monitoring the two of them in the name of security had no expression on their faces, but in fact they were staring at them sternly.

·· ·······Request flowers····· ·····

The crowd surrounding His Highness Gadja surged, and several figures emerged. They looked around as if searching for someone.

"Ah, Miss Yakushiji!"

The chairman, vice chairman, general manager, deputy general manager, executive director, and general manager of Tokyo Zenad Land... a dozen or so middle-aged or older men and women came over and bowed to Ryoko who was holding Shiraizumi Masaru's hand.

"Please calm down. I hope you can understand what happened this time. After all, it was the government's request..."

"I'm not angry."

“Ah, so that’s how it is…”

"I'm not angry, I'm just sad. Alas, for Zenad Paradise, flattering state power is more important than shareholders and guests!"

"This, this, you really leave me no place to stay..."

. .. ...

The old man, who was very wide from front to back and left to right, and covered in fat, bent deeply, with his chin almost touching his knees - considering the extent of his protruding belly, this was simply a miraculous move.

"It's not just a matter of what you say verbally."

"No, no, honesty and gratitude are our company's motto. To bring peace to the world and satisfaction to our customers. Any disrespect I show you today will be repaid double in the future."

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course."

"Then I'll contact you again later. You must put the status of your guests above your authority."

What a truly righteous line. It's hard to imagine it coming from someone who consistently abuses power and bullies others.

"Quan Yi!"

A familiar voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw a familiar face:

"Why, Miwako is here too?"

"Yes, Inspector Yakushiji has also included us in the special guest list."

The police officer traveling with Miwako is Inspector Takagi Shigeru. The two are still colleagues as in the original plot, but there is no extra affection between them anymore.

"I am truly sorry to receive such an exception from your kindness."

"No need to be so polite. Hey, it's just the two of you?"

"Inspector Megure is over there."

Miwako pointed in the direction of Fairy Tale Land and saw Inspector Megure, who was wearing a hat every day, walking towards her.

"Oh, this isn't my first time here, but it's been at least twenty years since the last time."

With a wry smile on his face, Inspector Megure wiped the sweat off his neck with a towel-like handkerchief.

Fainted with happiness

Ryoko impatiently dismissed the important figures from Zenad Paradise and returned to her subordinates. The five of them began to move forward. They then came upon an ice cream shop with a sign depicting three large bears.

Bai Quanyi ran to the ice cream shop, bought five servings of ice cream and shared them with everyone.

Shiraizumi was eating ice cream when he saw an acquaintance next to the ice cream shop. The man was holding a container of brown bear and black bear ice cream in both hands, with a frivolous smile on his face. It was Akira Kishimoto.

"Kishimoto, are you here with the Foreign Minister?"

"Huh? It's Inspector Shiro. I'm indeed accompanying the Foreign Minister. He likes me very much and even said he would take me to a hotel to discuss life."

"Then I wish you happiness."

Kishimoto is a huge star among otakus, and the Foreign Minister, who reads nothing but manga, must have found Kishimoto very much to his liking.

"Hehe... He even asked me if I wanted to be his secretary."

"That's great. Why not go?"

Shiraizumi said with a smile. It was a good thing no matter how you looked at it, to see Kishimoto's tights fetish disappear from sight.

"Well, it's a rare opportunity."

"There's a chance you could become the successor to the Foreign Minister. Your parents would be happy too."

"If I weren't a police officer anymore, Brother Quan Yi would be so lonely."

Suddenly, the Foreign Minister appears out of nowhere.

"Oh, Kishimoto-kun, you're here."

Seeing Shiraizumi's face, the Foreign Minister showed an expression as if he was searching his memory. But when he noticed Ryoko beside Shiraizumi, he immediately turned his eyes away and turned to Shiraizumi and Kishimoto.

"Why, you two know each other?"

"That's right, Minister." Kishimoto said enthusiastically.

"So, you and Kishimoto-kun are in the same boat?"

"certainly not!"

Shiraizumi Yi couldn't help but express his opposition too strongly.

As a result, the Foreign Minister showed an unhappy expression:

"Hey, hey, you have to understand this clearly. The only things Japan is most proud of in the entire world are manga and anime!"

"And late-night romance movies."

"Oh, indeed, I almost forgot."

The Foreign Minister, with a teachable expression, called over a man who looked like a secretary and opened a bag.

"Read this book and learn from it. I can even sign it for you—it's okay, you're welcome."

The Foreign Minister holds his bestselling new book, "All the Necessary Qualities in Life Can Be Learned from Comics."

Shiraizumi subconsciously took a half step back: "I'm past the stage in life where I need comics."

"Really? How about giving you 'The Great Country Japan'?"

When Baiquan Yi was in a dilemma, Ryoko suddenly spoke:

"Ah, that Yuki guy!"

Ryoko's gaze was directed to a beautiful, intelligent woman with long black hair, porcelain-white skin, and elegant glasses, meticulously conveying orders to a uniformed officer. Her name was Yukiko Muromachi, and she held the rank of Superintendent of Police, a Counselor in the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Department. Although Ryoko's classmate, she remained untainted by the mundane world, a kind person of conscience and intelligence. Shiraizumi Masu had already gotten to know Yukiko thoroughly, and he knew she was indeed right.

"Why is a guy like Yuki hanging around here?"

Ryoko brandished Brown Bear's spoon and spat out her venomous tongue.

"Come to think of it, it's only natural. She's an elite member of the security department, and she must be here to protect Her Highness Gadega."

"Hmph, in that case, if that brat Gadjia encounters any disaster, he will have to hold Yuki accountable."

"It's not just her responsibility."

"She has to bear the blame, in this situation."

"Why are you using the causative form?... We can't let anything slip tonight. It could cause international problems."

Shiraizumi Masu had no other intention, but the words "international issue" seemed to give the Foreign Minister a jolt. He gave his secretary a look, said a meaningless "see you later," and left.

Yukiko heard the noise and looked over, and smiled at Shiraizumi Yoshi, but they both had their own work tasks, so they didn't go forward to say hello.

The main reason is that Ryoko is watching from the side, which makes it really inconvenient for Shiraizumi Yoshi. If Ryoko and Yukiko quarrel, and Yukiko tells Ryoko about Shiraizumi Yoshi taking advantage of her, things will become particularly troublesome.

Ryoko also started walking, and Shiraizumi Masu was about to follow when Kishimoto whispered to me:

"Brother Izumi, the Chief of the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters wants to tell you..."

Shiraizumi stopped in his tracks, startled. He hadn't realized when the headmaster was actually right beside him. He nodded grudgingly in response to my salute, then whispered:

"You, you are Yakushiji's direct subordinate, right?"

"Yes."

"Listen carefully, you can keep your eyes open and keep a close eye on her. You can't neglect your duties."

"what……"

The director cast a curse-like look behind Ryoko.

"If, if that guy hurts Lord Gadega, my position... my future... ah ah..."

The director pressed his hand against his stomach and took two deep breaths. Was it stomach pain or mental pain? Perhaps it was both.

"Please, I'm leaving it all to you."

He was still very nervous, which was evident from the fact that he didn't even ask my name.

Shiraizumi Mashi caught up with Ryoko and saw His Highness Kadejia standing in front of the TV camera, answering the reporters' slightly noisy questions through an interpreter.

His Royal Highness the Prince had a bright smile on his face, his white teeth sparkling, making people wonder if his teeth were inlaid with diamonds.

"Japanese women are so attractive. I envy Japanese men so much. I'm still single."

As soon as His Royal Highness said this, the reporting camp was in an uproar.

"So, Your Highness! Is it possible! to marry a Japanese! 5.5 sex!"

The questioner was so excited that he completely ignored the emphasis and pronunciation. His Highness Gadega stared at the female reporter:
