"Yes, I'll get ready."
Xia Ye took out her phone and searched for the address Mingmei had mentioned.
"Are you going to...?"
Ai and Akemi recalled the moment he fell from the rooftop of the Beika Hotel that day!
"Yes, that's more convenient!"
Xia Ye calculated, "The straight-line distance is... exactly ten kilometers. As for the height, there aren't many tall buildings here, so let's say fifty meters!"
"Finish!"
Xia Ye calculated the coordinates, confirmed the selection, and then disappeared into thin air in front of the three people.
"this......"
Yukiko had never seen Natsume use this skill before, and since it wasn't a skill belonging to any particular identity and couldn't be found in the logbook, she was still shocked even though she knew Natsume was amazing.
"We don't know either~" Ai shrugged, seeing her questioning look. "It's probably something like teleportation, but there are probably some limitations..."
"Forget it~"
Yukiko stopped dwelling on it, but—"Natsuha isn't even trying to hide it from us anymore!"
“That’s right. Apart from not telling us about the system and the transmigrators, he’s kept almost everything else from us.” Xiao Ai had already noticed this.
"That's good too!"
Yukiko smiled and said that it felt really good to be trusted.
........
The night sky over Tokyo.
Xia Ye appeared out of thin air, and then disappeared again before falling to the ground.
This is Arakawa Ward, and it's still five kilometers away from Akemi's apartment in Adachi Ward. This is the limit of the [Coordinate Reset] skill.
6-chome, Adachi Ward.
When Xia Ye reappeared, she was already wearing the Amazing Spider-Man suit.
Looking down, unlike the brightly lit downtown area of Dongdu, this place was not so noisy, and many places were dark.
0 ······Requesting flowers·· ··
Xia Ye cast out a spider silk thread and gently pulled it, arriving at the front of Mingmei Apartment.
I took out my key, opened the door, and the apartment was laid out before me.
Although Akemi said to only take the important things, Natsume still packed up everything in the 1DK apartment except for the furniture and threw it into her inventory.
After finishing, Xia Ye locked the door.
Xia Ye had originally planned to fly away using spider silk, but there weren't any tall buildings around, so she had to climb up to the rooftop, find a secluded spot, and cross several dozen meters to reach a park.
I took off my clothes, left the park, and took a taxi home!
........
At Xia Ye's villa.
Yukiko received a call from Vermouth.
Then--
"You want to talk to Ai?" Yukiko glanced at Ai, who seemed a little surprised, and asked in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Is she afraid?" Vermouth raised her voice noticeably, and Ai heard it too!
"Give me!"
....... 0 0
Ai took the phone from Yukiko's hand, her face instinctively turning icy, and said in a cold voice, "Vermouth!"
"Shirley~"
Unlike Ai Haibara, Vermouth's voice wasn't tense; instead, it carried a hint of ease and teasing.
"The last time we met was two and a half years ago, wasn't it? It's a pity that next time we meet, I probably won't see the same you anymore; I'll only see a plain-looking girl. It's really a shame~"
She spoke of regret, but her tone was full of schadenfreude.
"What do you want to say?"
Ai frowned. She hadn't expected to be able to communicate with Vermouth again so soon, and Vermouth had changed a lot since then...
"It's nothing really~" Vermouth chuckled. "That joke was my last bit of malice towards you. I won't target you anymore. Actually, it's not just you; even your parents were just taking it out on me. Who told them to take on that 'Silver Bullet' project!"
"what ever!"
Ai knew this was the best possible outcome, but she still refused to admit defeat.
"Even if you're still targeting me, it's okay, Xia Ye will definitely take care of you!"
"Oh~"
Vermouth's tone rose slightly, tinged with a smile.
"You're trying to say you're Xia Ye's girlfriend, right? You're so confident, Xue... Ai, looking like this, do you think you can hold onto the position of Xia Ye's girlfriend?"
"This is none of your business!"
Ai wasn't actually that angry. She could feel Natsume's feelings for her and wasn't afraid of Vermouth's provocations at all, except—
"Although Xia Ye is my student, he's still a very outstanding man. I've decided to make my move on him. Miss Ai, are you ready?" Vermouth said before hanging up the phone, "It's time to find an opportunity to meet you all. You'd better treat me well then~"
"That despicable old woman!"
Ai handed the phone back to Yukiko, pouting and scolding.
Yukiko twitched her lips, somewhat embarrassed. She was much older than Ai, and had a relationship with Natsume. Feeling guilty, she felt Ai's insult sounded like a veiled attack... a knife.
Chapter 96: Could Miyano Elena not be dead?
Vermouth hung up the phone.
A faint smile appeared on her delicate and charming face.
Once you set aside the malice, and look at Sherry, that little girl—oh right, she's called Ai Haibara now—and then at that Miss Haibara, she seems quite cute. If you tease her, she'll fight back fiercely, making you want to keep teasing her, which is quite fun.
As for what I just said...
It wasn't just for teasing Ai Haibara.
It's half true and half false!
If I really had to find a man, Xia Ye would definitely be a good fit.
As for so-called love, tsk, who knows!
Vermouth felt in a good mood and wanted to have a glass of red wine.
Unfortunately, the only bottle of Château Petrus wine in this apartment had already been given as a gift to Miss Angel and her mother across the street.
Hmm, that lawyer, Ms. Kisaki, seems to have a good understanding of wine. She recognized this bottle of Château Petrus, but accepted it without saying anything. She certainly has a generous personality; no wonder she and Yukiko are such good friends!
Speaking of Yukiko.
What photo did she send to Attorney Fei?
Is it the same as mine?
Vermouth was a little curious.
.....
Eri Kisaki's apartment.
After Vermouth left, Ran and Eri continued chatting on the sofa.
"Miss Chris is so generous!"
Eri Kisaki glanced at the Château Pétrus wine that she had already placed in the wine cabinet and explained to her daughter, who knew nothing about wine:
"The bottle of red wine she brought as a gift for '700' is Château Petrus, known as the king of Bordeaux wines. It's from 1982, so it must be worth at least 800,000 yen."
"So expensive!"
Xiaolan couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; it was equivalent to four months' worth of living expenses when she used to live with her father!
"It's alright. Château Petrus prioritizes quality, produces very little, so the high price is to be expected."
Eri Kisaki smiled slightly; this price was really nothing to her.
"Speaking of which, I've never tried Petrus red wine before. Maybe I can invite Miss Chris to come and taste it with me sometime!"
"Mom, you look just like one of those rich women in high society!" Xiaolan mimicked her mother, slightly raising her delicate, fair chin, and said calmly, "Invite Mrs. XX over to play mahjong, and tell her we're one player short!"
"You brat, what do you mean by 'rich woman'? That sounds awful!" Eri tapped her daughter's nose in exasperation. "And do you even know what high society is? High society, my foot!"
"I don't know, but Sonoko does. She said it's boring!" Ran pouted and brought up her best friend. Although Sonoko is a carefree girl, she is definitely a member of the upper class. What hasn't she seen?
"The garden—"
Eri Kisaki naturally knew Sonoko and was very familiar with her. After all, they had been best friends for over ten years, and Sonoko had even cried and begged to be her daughter's little maid when they were young. How could they not be familiar with each other?
"Is she still waiting for that shady buff to activate?"
The garden, which has gained a rapid growth buff, has recently become an object of unspoken observation among log holders.
Everyone wants to see how effective the buff will be on her; if it works well, many people will be waiting to switch to it.
"Yeah, when they video chat with me, they only show their face, they don't let me see anything else!"
Ran was speechless. Her best friend of ten years wouldn't even let her watch. Did she have no sisterly affection left? She might as well just abandon her and become best friends with Ai and Akemi!
“Not letting you see it means it works really well~” Eri’s beautiful eyes smiled: “It seems she has decided to give you a surprise. Hmm, I hope the final result isn’t too exaggerated. You little girls think that the older you get, the better, but actually, there are still a lot of troubles when you get older!”
"I know that~"
Xiaolan resonated with her mother's words.
"There are indeed many inconveniences when having PE class!"
"As long as you know!"
Eri Kisaki scanned Ran's body. Her own daughter had grown up and had a perfectly proportioned figure. She didn't need any kind of buff at all!
"mom!"
Xiaolan felt a little shy under her mother's gaze and said reproachfully:
"I'm not changing that buff!"
"That's good~"
"Hmm~"
Xiaolan nodded, then, as if remembering something, looked at her mother cautiously and asked, "Mom, can you tell me what that email message I just received was?"
"..."
Eri Kisaki was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:
"You really want to know?"
"Uh-huh!"
Xiaolan nodded vigorously.
"I've never seen you use that word before, Mom. Is it some kind of case that's upsetting? Or something else?"
"Neither of those."
Eri Kisaki no longer wanted to hide it from her daughter, and said speechlessly with a pretty face, "It's Yukiko!"
"what?"
Xiao Lan was taken aback.
What did Yukiko do to make her mother so angry?
"See for yourself!"
