Natsume gently ruffled Shiho's hair and whispered:
"As friends, Ran and Sonoko should take Shiho out for some fun."
"completely fine!"
Sonoko patted her chest excitedly and said, "When Shiho wants to go there to play, Ran and I will go with her!"
"Hmm~"
Ran nodded gently, indicating her agreement with Sonoko's statement.
"Hmph! Just don't complain about it when the time comes!"
Shiho's face was aloof, but anyone with eyes could see the emotion welling up in her icy blue eyes. However, because she was so proud, everyone tacitly pretended not to see it, so as not to embarrass her.
.........
after eating.
Xia Ye took out the dojo key from her inventory and handed it to Xiao Lan.
Sonoko's luxury car was already waiting downstairs at the Beika Department Store.
Xia Ye didn't need to escort them back, so she said goodbye to them.
"Remember to keep in touch online, Xia Ye!"
Sonoko sat in the car and waved this way.
Xia Ye gave an OK sign and watched them leave.
"Let's go~" Shiho glared at him and pouted, "What are you still standing there for? Don't you want to leave that girl?"
"Both girls are quite nice, aren't they?"
Xia Ye smiled slightly, pleased that Shiho had made friends with Ran and Sonoko.
Shiho's heart is incredibly strong.
In the original storyline, she only gradually let go of it after several hundred episodes.
Having friends now is a good thing for her.
Ran is gentle, kind, and understanding, while Sonoko is lively, cheerful, and a real joy to be around.
Xia Ye refused to believe that such a top-tier partner couldn't open her heart!
"It's actually pretty good!"
In front of Natsume, Shiho made no pretense, a faint smile on her pretty face, which could be considered as her acceptance of her two new friends.
........
I drove back to the research institute.
I spent some time with Shiho in the lab.
The two returned to the apartment together.
Standing at the door, Shiho's face flushed slightly, but she pretended to be calm and said:
"Would you like a cup of coffee?"
"I want it!" Xia Ye said with a mischievous smile.
"Since Shiho invited me, how could I refuse? I'd drink as many cups as I wanted!"
"Don't overthink it! It's just coffee!"
Shiho's face flushed red. This guy's smile was so wicked, did he really want to do something bad?
Enter Shiho's apartment.
The apartment has a very simple style.
Aside from the necessary furniture and appliances, there was no other decoration.
only--
Xia Ye sat on the sofa.
Something incredible was pulled out from the gap in the sofa.
Although it's a white strawberry bear, it's simple and cute. I never expected Shiho to have this style...
"Let go!"
Shiho leaped onto Natsume.
She cursed herself inwardly.
How could I have forgotten this thing on the sofa?
"Give it to me quickly!"
Shiho was only concerned with grabbing things.
I didn't notice anything particularly ambiguous about her relationship with Xia Ye.
"All right!"
Xia Ye reached out and hugged her slender waist, stopping her from moving.
This girl is a great beauty with a great figure, yet she has no self-awareness at all. Isn't this just torture?
Shiho also sensed that something was wrong.
She immediately stopped struggling and shyly buried her face in Xia Ye's arms.
Is he really planning something? I'm not ready yet!
"Don't overthink it, let me hug you~"
As he heard his gentle voice, Shiho's heart instantly calmed down.
"Hmm~".
Chapter Twenty: Logbook Lottery Results
[Or maybe we should just take out Gin!]
It was 11:30 p.m.
Everyone was waiting for the log results to be announced when this sentence suddenly popped up.
No one knows what happened.
Only Shiho, from the apartment across from Natsume, blushed and huddled under the covers, gritting her teeth as she said:
"Xia Ye! If you dare write this in your diary, I'll bite you to death!"
If Xia Ye were to write down the promise I just made with her in her journal, I'd be mortified! I'd be too ashamed to show my face!
...
New York, luxury villa.
Vermouth yawned lazily.
Judging from her current appearance.
She doesn't seem to be sleeping very well.
Her silk pajamas were in complete disarray, and her long silver hair was a mess.
The hem of her pajamas was rolled up to her waist; it would need a holy light effect to be added to the photos.
Apart from her still exquisite and charming face, she no longer possesses any of the aura of a witch.
So don't believe that any woman can wake up in the morning with her hair perfectly styled and her makeup flawless—that's impossible!
Still half asleep, Vermouth casually opened her journal.
I just happened to see that sentence pop up.
Then she instantly woke up!
Is Natsume going to kill Gin?
what happened?
She quickly flipped back through the journal.
Aside from the fact that Sulli's name appears in a lot of places, there's nothing unusual.
What's wrong with Xia Ye?!
Vermouth frowned slightly.
He was considering whether to inform the boss to transfer Gin to another country for a period of time.
Judging from the contents of the log.
If Xia Ye really wants to kill Gin, then he'll have no choice but to find someone to collect his body.
[Forget it. Even if we kill Gin, we can't wipe out the entire organization in a short time. Too much trouble!]
Vermouth immediately closed the log.
It seems there's nothing for me to do now, as long as Xia Ye doesn't go against the organization for the time being.
As for the log reward, Sherry worked quite hard today. After all, I wasn't by Xia Ye's side, so I was at a disadvantage in the fight.
I'll wait until I get to Japan before I think about it.
........
Xia Ye put down her journal.
Shiho's charm is truly extraordinary.
I came back from Shiho's place.
He was almost ready to put on his Spider-Man suit and take down Gin.
After all, Shiho's "reward" was too tempting.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
Directly confronting the organization is too troublesome.
Even if we kill them one by one, how long would it take?
I still need to think of a way to rescue Shiho and Akemi from the organization discreetly, so that we don't have to go to great lengths.
Okay, I'll write a couple more lines and then go to sleep!
I saw Ran and Sonoko today!
Those involved perked up and awaited further developments.
[Shiho made friends with them; I really want to show those partisan squabblers what's going on!]
In the original world, the Ai Party and the Lan Party fought tooth and nail, but here they're friends! Haha, what's the point of fighting?!
Shiho, who had been relieved that Natsume hadn't written the promise in her diary, was speechless.
What? In Xia Ye's world, my fan club and Xiao Lan's fan club actually had a fight?
Aren't these people incredibly bored?!
[They've been arguing about who should be the female lead for over twenty years, with all sorts of political parties involved, but I'm an ALL supporter!]
What ALL party?
Shiho rolled her eyes, speechless.
You might as well just say you like any pretty female character!
What's with the pretense?
Wait a minute! More than twenty years?
This crappy comic has been updated for over twenty years?
How absurd will this plot eventually become?
