Then in the afternoon I went to Miss Yamaguchi's diving equipment store, rented a diving suit and went diving.

Of course, this time it was a serious dive.

After diving, we returned to the hotel and packed up all the luggage. By the time we finished everything, it was almost four in the evening.

Afraid that she and Serabel would not be able to control themselves and start doing something in the room and miss the evening ferry, Yukiko suggested that they go directly to the lounge area downstairs and wait.

Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan naturally agreed.

It was 4:35 in the evening. As the sunlight reflected on the sea surface gradually turned red, the four of them met in the sofa booth in the rest area of ​​the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Xiaolan and Kissing Eri sat on one side. She still had her legs together and her hands on her knees, looking like a good child with a smile on her face.

The female lawyer was drinking a can of coffee that she had bought from the vending machine at the hotel entrance behind her a few minutes ago, and looking out at the harbor terminal in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Yukiko stretched out lazily with her arms and legs spread out in an ungraceful manner, and her whole body fell crookedly to one side.

But since she is very cute and pretty, it doesn't matter.

As for Seravel...she had a determined look on her face, almost the same expression as Snorlax.

"I didn't expect to go back so soon~"

After stretching, Yukiko sighed while maintaining her crooked posture.

Upon hearing this, Kisaki Eri, who was sitting opposite her, put down her coffee, looked at her and said with a smile.

"You seem reluctant to leave, Yukiko. Of course, if you want, we can stay a few more days. The room has not been checked out yet."

"No, no, no, forget it."

When she heard that she had to stay a few more days, Yukiko quickly shook her head.

"Let me put that aside for now. Eri, you have to go to work, and Xiaolan also has to go to class."

"At worst I can just take a few days off~"

The female lawyer smiled indifferently.

But anyone could tell that she was speaking in a joking tone.

After all, you still have to pay some attention to your own law firm. You can't be the boss and not pay any attention at all, playing outside all day long. After a long time, you may not even be able to pay the assistant's salary.

"By the way, did Bell have a good time these past two days? Hmm?"

Yukiko sat up straight and turned to her side, poking the boy's cheek with her index finger in a teasing manner.

Serabelle continued with a Snorlax look: "I'm... fine. Not bad, right?"

"Hehe, I think so."

Youxi narrowed his eyes and poked twice more with more force, as if he was hinting at something else and seemed to want to say something.

But the next second she seemed to be attracted by something at the hotel entrance not far away. She turned her gaze away and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"Huh? That's not..."

"Ok?"

Kisaki Eri didn't understand what was going on and turned around to take a look. When she saw clearly, she couldn't help but frowned slightly.

It turned out to be Kogoro Mori.

She never expected that the other party would come to the hotel at this time. Shouldn't he be staying in the B&B on the island?

And the way he looked back seemed to be searching for something...

"what!"

As if he had noticed the gaze coming from the rest area, Kogoro Mouri, who was still looking around, subconsciously looked back at Serabel and the others. An expression of slight surprise suddenly appeared on his bearded, weathered face.

He walked over quickly, came to the booth, covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly.

"Good afternoon, Eri, Ran, Yukiko, and... Bell."

?

He greeted everyone as soon as he came up, and he looked quite polite. Serabel was a little unsure.

Then Kogoro Mouri turned to the female lawyer sitting next to his daughter and said in a steady voice.

"Eri, can we talk?"

"What, what do you want to say?"

Kisaki Eri raised her head and looked at him with a half-smile in her eyes.

Maori Kogoro still insisted on his own idea: "There are some things I don't want to say in public, so let's talk about it aside."

"Need not."

Kisaki Eri rejected him bluntly.

"There is nothing between you and me that cannot be said publicly. Just tell me directly. What is it?"

"..."

Kogoro Maori was silent for a few seconds, and then he took a deep breath.

"Since you insist on asking me to do so, I will tell you straight away, Yingli, I believe in you, but I want to ask you, who was the man who went to the temple fair with you the night before yesterday?"

Oh?

Hearing this, Kisaki Eri's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.

The night before yesterday... Of course she was visiting the temple fair with Serabelle, and she even brought some midnight snacks for Yukiko. How could they have been seen?

But it seemed as if he didn't see it completely. After all, Serabelle didn't wear any makeup or change into other clothes that day. Even so, he didn't recognize her. Either he didn't see clearly or he was simply drunk at the time.

After a little thought, Kisaki Eri responded calmly.

"What are you talking about? What man? Although I went to the temple fair that day, I went with Yukiko, not with the so-called 'man' you mentioned. Ran and Yukiko can testify to this."

"Yes, yes. Yingli and I went to the temple fair together that day. There was no man there."

As a good sister, Yukiko reacted immediately and testified.

"You're going too far, Mori-kun. How could Eri do something like that?"

"Yes...really?"

Kogoro Mouri subconsciously took a half step back, his eyes moving suspiciously between the faces of the two good sisters.

At this time Xiaolan also spoke.

"Yes, that day Mom went to chat with Aunt Yukiko, and then they went to the temple fair. In addition, Mom and I have been living in single rooms next door to each other these days. I have never seen any man with Mom. You...'Dad', how could you say that to Mom!"

"me……"

After being repeatedly attacked by his ex-wife, her best friend, and his own daughter, Kogoro Mori was completely stuck.

That's impossible. He shouldn't have seen it wrong at that time. Could he have really seen it wrong? Wrong...?

"You are so ridiculous, I thought you were going to tell me something..."

Hibiki Eri held her forehead with her hand in a serious manner and sighed helplessly.

"Although I have been separated from you for these years, and even though I have my own business and house, I have never mentioned divorce because of Xiaolan. But I really didn't expect you to say such a thing... But it's okay. Now my daughter is in my care, and there is no trust between you and me anymore."

"In that case, let's get a divorce, Maori Kogoro."

"Don't worry, I won't ask for your alimony."

Chapter 694 Sister Bei is jealous

The ferry to Shenhai Island left at 6pm and it was already 7pm when it arrived at the port.

In early summer, although it gets dark later than in winter, it is basically completely dark at this time.

It's time to go home.

Just like when they came, it was Eri Kisaki who drove Xiaolan back directly.

Serabel drove Yukiko back to Beika Town first, and then... turned around and went to the hotel he had arranged in Curacao.

It was a bit embarrassing to say that although he used Curacao to kill Rum and used almost desperate means to separate Curacao from the organization, he had so much fun in the past few days that Serabelle didn't think of Curacao once during his stay on Shenhai Island.

The main reason is that I know that with Vermouth to help watch over it, basically nothing will go wrong.

So a few days later, when Serabelle parked her car in the parking lot and stepped into the hotel lobby again, perhaps because it was her shift change, the receptionist sitting at the front desk was still the same one as before.

The last time Serabelle came, she was checked to see if she had brought the coffee that Vermouth requested.

She even remembered Serabelle, who called out to her as soon as she saw her enter the room.

"Ah, it's you!"

"……What's wrong?"

Serabelle stopped and looked in the direction of the sound for two or three seconds before she remembered the other person and blinked in confusion.

The receptionist was seen typing away on the computer at the front desk used to handle various procedures. When she looked up, her face had returned to its standard professional smile.

"Hello, I didn't find any advance instructions from Ms. Chris. Do you want me to call Ms. Chris now?"

"Ah? No need..."

Serabel was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the other party must have mistaken him for coming to see Vermouth.

Ah, although I do miss you a little after not seeing you for a few days, there are more important things to do before that. Besides, it’s already this late today, and the suitcase in the car is full of dirty clothes from the past few days of traveling. I have to go back early.

So tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Serabelle shook her head.

"I'm not here to see her today. I have something else to do."

"That's it..."

The receptionist blinked.

But since Serabelle didn't say it herself, she didn't ask.

Serabelle nodded again and walked straight towards the elevator hall.

Only after watching the boy disappear behind the elevator door did the receptionist pick up the phone and dial the number.

At the same time, in the top-floor suite of the hotel, Vermouth, wearing a white home robe that wrapped her slender curves, was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, holding a glass of red wine in her hand and looking out the window at the night view of the city below.

Nothing interesting happened today...

The blonde Thousand-Faced Witch shook the bloody wine in the glass and thought boredly. At the same time, she changed the position of her legs and continued to cross them together. The friction and pressure between the key parts of the skin during the movement made her subconsciously feel a few ripples in her heart.

Vermouth raised her fingertips, touched her lips, and then moved her fingertips down her neck until they stopped at her collarbone.

She recalled the day when she and Serabelle were caught in the bathtub by Curacao.

Speaking of which, although Curacao has been living a normal life these days and nothing unusual has happened, it seems that no one knows where that guy has gone. Not to mention meeting him, there has not even been a single message or phone call from him.

Jingle Bell!

Suddenly, without warning, the phone on the low cabinet at the door of the suite rang.

This was a very unusual situation. Normally, the hotel front desk would only call her like this if she had booked some kind of reservation service, or if someone was looking for her temporarily... But this was impossible. Her phone was not turned off. If something really happened in the organization, someone would have called her long ago.

Could it be——

As if lightning flashed through her mind, Vermouth thought of a possibility and immediately put down her wine glass, stood up, and quickly walked to the low cabinet at the door to answer the phone.

"it's me."

"Hello, Ms. Chris. According to your request to notify you if Mr. Sera arrives, our hotel would like to remind you that Mr. Sera has just arrived at the hotel and took the elevator upstairs."

"Oh? He's here?"

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Even Vermouth couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"He's coming up now?"

"Yes... it came up, but it may not be yours."

The receptionist's voice on the phone hesitated for a moment.

ha?

"That's it, I understand."
