Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

As Chikako Ikeda's number one admirer, Hiroki Kakutani immediately offered up all the information he knew.

"Would it have turned out like this if I only kicked him once?"

Ota Katsu glanced at Takahashi Ryoichi, whose face was covered in bruises, with lingering fear, and subconsciously moved a few steps away from the girl next to him.

He almost overestimated himself and went up to chat her up, but thankfully he stopped himself in time.

"That's right! Sister Xiaolan only kicked him lightly; he fell and hurt himself!"

Luo Tian naturally sided with the girl.

And he wasn't wrong. Perhaps Xiao Lan had used the flying kick too much, and the girl's proficiency with this move had reached a state of perfection. When she kicked down, it would only have a control effect and wouldn't cause much damage.

If the open space by the cliff hadn't been uneven and full of loose rocks, the bandaged monster wouldn't be covered in injuries on his face like this.

"Xiao Luo! Stop talking!"

The girl felt quite ashamed by his eloquent words.

She had initially thought the other person was planning something bad, but it turned out they were also a guest at the party, just dressed rather strangely.

She was worried that she had kicked the wrong person!

"Be confident, Sister Xiaolan! This guy is acting strangely; he's definitely not a good person!"

"You're not a good person, kid! What right do you have to say that to me?!"

The bandaged man, or rather, Ryoichi Takahashi, became as agitated as a mouse whose tail had been stepped on when he heard Luo Tian's words.

He just came to the party with a few friends, and incidentally killed someone for revenge. What did he do wrong?!

Even if there is a mistake, it doesn't deserve to be said by a child!

Moreover, he believed his plan was flawless and absolutely impossible for anyone else to discover!

I like dressing like that! What's it to you?

Takahashi Ryoichi began to struggle, insisting that dressing up as a bandaged weirdo was just his personal quirk.

Little did he know that Luo Tian had already seen through his little scheme.

"Is scaring people in public one of your hobbies?"

"That's right! It won't work!"

"Is carrying an axe with you a habit of yours?"

"Yes, yes! It's perfectly reasonable to bring an axe with you when you come to this villa in the middle of nowhere!"

"She's clearly very thin, but she deliberately pretends to be very fat..."

"I do what I want! It's none of your business!"

In the end, even Ryoichi Takahashi started answering questions first.

Luo Tian also realized that this guy was really stubborn! Almost as stubborn as Kogoro Mouri!

However, this was within his expectations.

Despite having the advantage of being ahead of the curve, it's difficult to take them down directly when the other party hasn't done anything yet and there's no solid evidence.

At most, like before, the girl might kick him as a deterrent.

He had already planned his next move!

……

The matter was temporarily resolved, and the guests all returned to their rooms, including the bandaged freak, Ryoichi Takahashi.

He used the excuse that he wanted to scare a few old classmates to clear himself of his strange attire and behavior.

After being untied, he originally wanted to say something harsh to get back at the girl, but after weighing the difference in their fighting strength, he reluctantly gave up on the idea.

He went upstairs amidst the strange looks from the crowd.

Although he has temporarily escaped criminal suspicion, he has labeled himself with a number of bizarre tags, which, thanks to the spread of Ota Masaru and others, will likely stay with him for life... if he can spend the rest of his life outside.

"What exactly is going on?"

In the kitchen, Ayako Suzuki asked the girl beside her while preparing dinner.

As the host, she was in a difficult position, torn between her younger sister's best friend and her classmate.

"I don't know either, but that guy's definitely up to no good!"

As Suzuki Sonoko said this, her body betrayed her, and she ran over to Luo Tian, ​​eagerly hugging the little boy into her arms.

She didn't care what the truth was; she was definitely on the little boy's side!

Perhaps due to a lack of exercise, Miss Suzuki's skin lacked the elasticity of Ran Mouri's, and her bust was at least two levels smaller.

But it's soft and fragrant, which is also quite good.

Luo Tian lay comfortably in her arms and continued to provide psychological counseling to the three of them.

"Regardless of whether that guy has a problem or not, let's make an assumption: if he really does intend to do something bad, then who is most likely to be the victim in this villa?"

Who could be the victim?

Ayako Suzuki immediately turned her gaze to Ran Mouri, who had just displayed her skills, but quickly shook her head.

It's understandable that she would want revenge after being humiliated, but putting aside the difference in their physical strength, this was their first meeting, and there was no reason for her to be their target.

After all, the other party's behavior was strange first, and the girl took action afterward.

Similarly, my own younger sister and little boy can also be ruled out.

Thinking about it this way, she realized that, in reality, it was actually her and her other friends who were in danger.

So what about the motivation?

Squinting, Ayako Suzuki subconsciously began to think again, recalling the experiences of others and things that might have been motives for the crimes.

At the same time, she kept glancing at Luo Tian out of the corner of her eye.

To be able to think of these things so quickly, he seems to be a very smart child!

And he's so cute and handsome... After all, they're sisters, and Ayako Suzuki, who has similar aesthetic standards, gradually grew to like this little cutie.

"Little brother, you're amazing, you can think of so many things."

She crouched down, looked at the little boy in her younger sister's arms, and praised him with a smile.

"So, Ayako-neechan, have you thought about who might be in danger?"

Luo Tian looked expectantly at Miss Suzuki, who had narrowed her eyes.

Everyone says that squinty-eyed people are monsters. If she could guess the truth behind this incident directly, I wouldn't have to rack my brains to find excuses and make up stories.

Unfortunately, Ayako Suzuki was indeed smarter than her younger sister, but not by much. She could only vaguely guess that Ryoichi Takahashi's abnormality might be related to an incident from a few years ago.

But she didn't know the details of that matter, so she could only shake her head apologetically.

At the same time, both Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki received system notifications.

[Ding! Urgent Mission: Party Time - The enemy's revenge is about to begin. Please protect the lucky star during the party!]

[Ding! Risk detected in "high-quality stock," please be aware!]

Chapter 49 Let's sleep together tonight

The atmosphere at dinner was somewhat awkward due to the unexpected events that occurred in the afternoon.

Fortunately, Ryoichi Takahashi was self-aware enough to take his share of the food back to his room and didn't feel comfortable sharing it with others.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone got to know each other and were able to chat for a while.

However, most of the time it was Ayako Suzuki and her classmates who were chatting, while Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, as guests, spoke much less.

On the one hand, we weren't very familiar with each other, and on the other hand, we had just received a task notification.

Xiao Luo is in danger!

This was the two girls' first reaction after receiving the mission.

So even at the dinner table, the two of them were very alert, afraid that something unexpected might happen.

As for Luo Tian himself, he was happily enjoying a delicious dinner.

It must be said that, unlike her younger sister who is hopeless at housework, Ayako Suzuki, as the older sister, is quite good at cooking.

In addition, the Suzuki family, even in this suburban villa, prepared excellent ingredients, which complemented each other to create a sumptuous feast.

Luo Tian was naturally unaware of any danger.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, having undergone two enhancements, he has Wing Chun for close combat and Spirit Ball for ranged attacks. Even if he's just a little boy, his combat power is terrifying.

The bandaged freak? I'll make sure he never leaves alive!

……

"Huh? Sonoko, you're going to sleep in the same room as us?"

After dinner, it was time for the usual room assignment process.

Although the villa was large, there were quite a few guests. After Suzuki Ayako's classmates had divided the rooms, there were only two rooms left.

Logically speaking, the Suzuki sisters should share a room, and Luo Tian and the girl should share a room, which would be just right.

But Sonoko Suzuki insisted on squeezing in, which greatly troubled Ran Mouri.

She wondered if her best friend had another episode and was trying to take advantage of the young boy.

In fact, she was right!

Sonoko Suzuki, who already had wicked intentions, had even more reason to get close to the little boy after receiving the mission.

Of course, due to system limitations, she couldn't say this reason aloud.

Ran Mouri is the same in this respect.

The two girls, who were not speaking to each other, remained silent for a while before turning their gazes to the person in question, Luo Tian.

"Ok?"

Luo Tian was standing on the balcony, tiptoeing and gripping the railing, observing his surroundings in case anything unexpected happened, when suddenly a chill ran down his spine.

Why do I get this feeling of a chaotic battlefield?!

He turned his head and found that both girls were staring straight at him, and he habitually smiled.

"Don't be afraid! I will protect Ran-neechan and Sonoko-neechan!"

He was telling the truth!

Given that both sides are clearly aware of the situation, it's hard to guarantee that the bandaged monster won't do something desperate, so protecting the two girls is essential.

But in Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki's eyes, a cute little boy saying such things in a firm tone, coupled with his sunny smile, was a wonderful sight.

They were all sunk!

"Waaaah, Xiao Luo, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you!"

Sonoko Suzuki was moved to tears, and at the same time, she took the opportunity to hug the little boy.

"Yes! If that guy tries anything bad, I won't let him get away with it!"

As Ran Mouri spoke, she threw a powerful punch, creating a series of whooshing sounds.

……

"Damn it! That brat! And that brat!"

In a room in the corner of the villa, the bandaged man—no, it was Ryoichi Takahashi—was carefully changing his bandages.

That kick almost disfigured him!

Fortunately, there were enough bandages wrapped around his face, otherwise his already not-so-handsome appearance would have been completely ruined.

"Just you wait! I will definitely get my revenge!"

In the original story, he would chop someone up with an axe simply for discovering his secret about his body.

Now that he's been kicked and lost face in front of everyone, Ryoichi Takahashi swears that if he doesn't get revenge, he's not the Bandaged Monster!

Even the original targets of his revenge had become secondary in his eyes.

As for plans and such, he wasn't worried at all!
