Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 489 Late-Night Snack, Everyone Gathers!
Mihua Apartment.

After parting ways with Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others, Sera Masumi returned to her home.

At this time, Sera Mary was already at home, watching TV after dinner and doing some yoga to maintain her figure and flexibility.

"Mom, I'm back."

Sera Masumi changed into slippers and walked through the entryway to the living room.

In the living room, Sera Mari was doing yoga in front of the TV. Looking at her daughter as she entered, she softly asked, "You're back."

"Did you gather any intelligence today?"

She also remained skeptical about the gas explosion and even secretly went to the scene today.

It turned out that this wasn't the case.

She discovered that the traces of the explosion at the scene had nothing to do with a gas explosion, and that the traces were caused by a grenade.

In other words, heavy firepower was deployed in that area last night.

In this era, grenades can be considered heavy firepower, and it's not impossible to get one.

After all, in the scientific world, as long as you have money and the idea, you can acquire many weapons.

In particular, plastic bombs are one of the essential tools for the Black guy, and they are on par with cyanide.

It was because she knew some information about the scene that she was able to help Sera Masumi.

She knew her daughter well; since she went shopping with Kitahara Natsuyu, she must have gotten some information.

However, Sera Marie was unaware that all this information was obtained by betraying her.

If Sera Mary knew, she would definitely say, "Matsumi, you are such a good daughter to me!"
I really want to beat you to death!
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across Sera Masumi's face, but it was so fleeting that it went unnoticed by Sera Mary, who was doing yoga and watching TV.

Sera Masumi sat on the sofa and said, "Yes, I got a lot of information from Kitahara-sensei!"

Upon hearing this, Sera Mary paused in her yoga pose: "What information is it?"

“He said the explosion had nothing to do with a gas explosion; it was caused by Gin using a grenade, and that the FBI and the Japanese Public Security Bureau suffered considerable losses,” Sera Masumi answered truthfully.

After all, this information was obtained by selling his mother, so naturally he had to inform the person involved.

However, the person involved was unaware of this matter.

Upon hearing this, Sera Mary's expression turned serious, and she nodded: "This matches the results of my investigation very well."

"But besides the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the FBI, are there any other agencies involved in this matter?"

She knew that Japan was a sieve when she was still in MI6.

In addition to the local Japanese Public Security Bureau, there are also foreign agencies such as the FBI, CIA, and even intelligence agencies from other countries.

They even have MI6 agents planted here.

However, these organizations are not public, since Japan is a place protected by the US military, but the existence of some organizations cannot be exposed.

Stealing intelligence secretly is acceptable, but doing it openly is not.

After all, the Japanese also have their pride, and those gentlemen know about this, but they just turn a blind eye.

As long as you don't go too far, it's fine to just hang around in front of them.

However, Gin's use of grenades directly must have made the men very angry, or even terrified!

If you use a grenade today, you might drive a tank tomorrow, and then you might be strafing Tokyo Tower with an attack helicopter.

Therefore, in this situation, the Japanese police are under great pressure, as are other agencies.

Because of Gin's bombing, they all faced the risk of being arrested.

If we can't catch Gin, can't we at least catch you outsiders?!

It's fair to say that these intelligence personnel are likely the ones who are about to be sold out.

After all, they have to give an explanation!

Of course, you could also choose not to give an explanation and simply make those officials kneel down and apologize in front of the public.

There's nothing an apology can't solve. If there is, then try again. If that doesn't work, just get rid of the prime minister and replace him with a different one.

I'm already dead, what more do you want from me?
Do you agree with this logic?

“I don’t know.” Sera Masumi paused. “Brother Kitahara didn’t tell me any of this. He only told me that there were three parties involved.”

“Gin, the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and the FBI.”

"But I also got news of my brother. He's fine, Mom, you don't need to worry."

Hearing this, Sera Marie rolled her eyes at her: "I'm not worried about this kid. He's thirty years old. Why would I worry about him?"

"It's not like you haven't grown up yet!"

If she were truly worried about Shuichi Akai, she wouldn't have let him join the FBI to investigate the troubles of the Black Organization.

But the children are all grown up and have their own opinions. As a mother, she can't stop her son who has ideals and aspirations, so she simply lets him go!

Just be alive.

If he were to die while pursuing the truth, then she, as his mother, would avenge her son.

Fortunately, his son was unharmed during this operation, which was a pleasant surprise.

However, she always felt that Shuichi was in some kind of trouble, that he was hiding something and didn't want to tell them.

Don't ask, just go with a mother's intuition.

That's exactly right!

Shuichi Akai is indeed hiding something, but it's something he can't talk about and can't tell anyone, not even his own mother.

Because sometimes, some care and concern can make him feel even worse.

For example, the care and concern shown by Judy and James.

However, Judy hasn't been paying much attention to Shuichi Akai's affairs lately.

Jodie: Akai, let's not contact each other anymore. I'm afraid Kitahara Natsuhiro will misunderstand.

"But Mom, you're still happy, right?"

Sera Masumi saw the smile on her mother's face—a happy smile.

"Alright," Sera Mary said, "Let's talk about other information. As for your brother, don't tell me. You know that yourself!"

There are some things that are better left unsaid; it's better to know less.

“Hmm,” Sera Masumi said, “Kitahara-sensei only told me this much information; he didn’t tell me anything else.”

“I see,” Sera Mary nodded. “It’s okay if you don’t know. It’s nothing.”

"Take a break and go take a shower. You can rest now!"

Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you, Mom."

"whats the matter?"

"Brother Kitahara is having a barbecue at home later. Mom, do you want to come along? It's not just the three of them; Ms. Jodie from next door and Ms. Reiko Akiba are also coming. Do you want to come too?"

Upon returning, they went to the store and bought a large amount of ingredients, including meat, vegetables, and even green peppers, for a grand barbecue. Kitahara Natsuhiro's family also had the necessary barbecue equipment.

Hearing this, Sera Mary hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I won't go, you go by yourself!"

She still didn't want to appear in front of too many people, and even if she did, she would do so in disguise.

Perhaps because he had been hiding for too long, he had become somewhat withdrawn, afraid to appear in front of others, and had become unnatural in social situations.

This situation is like staying at home for too long.

It needs to be changed!
"Mom, please go!" Sera Masumi came to Sera Mary's side, knelt on the ground, hugged her mother, and started to act coquettishly.

"You've been so withdrawn lately, you haven't participated in any activities."

“Although I know what you’re thinking, I still think you should go. After all, apart from Judy, no one else knows your identity.”

"As for Hattori Heiji, although he is a detective, he will not be able to find out unless you say something."

Although Hattori Heiji also has exceptional observational skills, he can even determine a person's profession from subtle movements.

However, Sera Mary left MI6 early on and began raising her own children. Although she still bears some traces of her past as a secret agent, she bears more of the marks of a housewife.

In Hattori Heiji's view, this was at most just a little bit of practice.

It's perfectly normal for a frail woman to practice some free fighting in Britain, right?

Therefore, it's alright for Sera Mary to go; there won't be any suspicion.

Although she won't be suspected, she will definitely be entangled with Toyama and Hajime.

After all, she had long been very curious about Sera Masumi's mother, especially since she was such a beautiful woman.

I might even need to ask them about body shape.

This also aligns with Toyama Kazuha's personality.

"You really want me to go?" Sera Mary was somewhat tempted.

She has been living a very secluded life lately, rarely appearing in front of others, which has led her to become withdrawn and even gloomy.

She didn't want to become gloomy.

Sometimes, a person's personality and temperament are closely related to their living environment and the people they come into contact with.

If a person doesn't interact with others for a long time, they will become gloomy.

She's a stunning blonde beauty, and she doesn't want to become a gloomy person.

Besides, everyone who organized this gathering is someone Kitahara Natsuhiro knows, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

The only person with a problem is the detective Hattori Heiji; as for Jodie, she's not a big deal.

After all, both sides have lived in this building for so long, and apart from the last time, they have always gotten along peacefully.

So there shouldn't be any major problems.

After thinking it over, Sera Mary finally agreed to let her daughter go out for a late-night snack.

She was just afraid of her identity being discovered, not that she was afraid of gaining weight. A barbecue was nothing to her; she could just get some more exercise.

Besides, she's already this age, can't she eat something good?

Otherwise, how would I live the rest of my life?

Most importantly, she has a body type that doesn't easily gain weight, and even if she does, the fat will appear in the right places.

She's not some stupid daughter!
"Great!" Sera Masumi cheered. "I'm going to take a shower."

"We'll be there at ten o'clock."

"Mm." Sera Mary nodded and watched Sera Masumi go to the bathroom.

After hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, she looked at herself and sniffed herself, seemingly detecting a trace of sweat: "I'll take a shower later. It's not polite to eat at someone's house covered in sweat."

"And you should bring a gift too; it's not good to go empty-handed."

After saying that, she left home and went to the store outside.

There are 24-hour shops nearby, so you won't have trouble finding what you need.

Soon.

It's 10 p.m.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro, Hattori Heiji, and Toyama Kazuha were preparing ingredients in the kitchen, and a charcoal grill had already been set up on the balcony.

As for the skewers, they contain pork and beef, all sliced ​​and interspersed with vegetables.

The vegetables include green peppers and scallions, as well as common vegetables such as potatoes and chives.

In addition to these, there are also some scallops.

The ingredients here are plentiful, so you can have a good meal.

Ding Dong
Just then, someone rang the door.

"I'll open the door."

Kazuha Toyama wiped her hands on her apron, then strode over to the entrance and opened the door.

"Good evening, Kazuha." Sera Masumi smiled, revealing her two canine teeth, while another woman with short blonde hair stood beside her, carrying a gift.

However, this woman's figure was far superior to Sera Masumi's; they were worlds apart.

However, the two people look very similar, especially their eyes.

"This is... Aunt Sera, right!" Kazuha Toyama's eyes lit up.

Just like Zhenchun said, Auntie's figure is absolutely amazing! She has curves in all the right places, a truly perfect figure!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look down at herself.

Yes, you can see a little bit of the toes!
She lacks confidence in her social standing; although she has some, she is not very wealthy.

At least fewer than Sonoko, Ran, and Ooka Momiji, but much more than Sera Masumi!

Sera Masumi is really flat-chested!

The kind that's completely ordinary!
"Hello, I am Sera Mary, Sera Masumi's mother."

"Hello, I'm Kazuha." Kazuha Toyama quickly greeted them, then stepped aside. "I'm so sorry to have kept you standing at the door for so long. Here are some slippers."

"Not at all," Sera Marie said politely, then changed into the slippers that Toyama Kazuha had prepared.

At that moment, the neighbors, Judy and Reiko Akiba, also arrived, each carrying a gift.

“Ms. Judy, Ms. Akiba,” said Kazuha Toyama.

"good evening."

After exchanging greetings, everyone entered the room together.

With more people, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Furthermore, Kitahara Natsuhiro had already taken the food he wanted to bake to the vicinity of the balcony.

Let's start the barbecue!
