Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, bright sunlight poured into the room, and Koji Shimizu woke up from his deep sleep.

The room was a little stuffy and there was a bad smell. I didn't feel anything last night, but when I woke up in the morning, the feeling was particularly clear.

Koji Shimizu sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, looking around the small hotel suite, the sofa, the bathroom, the balcony, the window, the coffee table. Fragments of memories kept flashing through his mind, and even though he was used to this kind of thing, he couldn't help but feel absurd.

Turning his head, Koji Shimizu looked at Mary Akai, whose half face was exposed beside him. He reached out and felt her breath. Well, she was still alive and sound, and it seemed that she was sleeping comfortably.

Small body, big energy.

"Ms. Mary, it's time to get up~."

Koji Shimizu reached out and pinched Mari Akai's nose, and Mari Akai frowned and turned over, but had no intention of waking up.

Koji Shimizu smiled and did not disturb her sweet dream. He got up alone, cleaned the room and opened the window for ventilation.

More than half an hour later, Akai Mary sat on the sofa, eating breakfast while looking at Shimizu Koji in confusion, "Hawaii?"

"Well, there should be a lot of people when traveling." Shimizu Koji nodded.

The doubt in Akai Mary's eyes remained unchanged. Many people? She just thought about it for a while, and roughly understood it, then shook her head decisively.

"Forget it, it's not appropriate for me to be there." Mary Akai looked at Koji Shimizu with an ambiguous look.

There was no embarrassment on Shimizu Koji's face. "You were the first one to start last night."

Akai Mary blushed for a rare moment and looked away, "If Shiho and Akemi knew about this, I wouldn't be able to face my sister."

"You probably just use me as a tool, just like Vermouth, so this is enough for us, isn't it? Anyway, for Masumi and Shiho, I won't do anything else."

"Well, that's a bit too much. In fact, I haven't even made a move on Vermouth."

"Will you let her go?"

There was a look of disbelief in Mary Akai's eyes. Shimizu Koji moved his lips but didn't say anything decisive. Seeing this, a cold look flashed across Mary Akai's face and she snorted in disdain.

"Besides, you can't call me a tool. Your current identity has no value to me, so you certainly can't be called a tool."

Koji Shimizu stopped talking halfway because Akai Mary turned around coldly and said a few words to him. Well, it was lip reading and mouth shape, but with her cold and disdainful eyes, Koji Shimizu could still understand it completely.

"How do you know that kind of thing (a three-word tool unique to comics)? Of course you are not in that situation. Well, our friendship is simple."

Koji Shimizu tried to explain himself, but his explanation seemed pale and powerless, and Mary Akai just looked at him coldly.

"Well, I really can't explain it if you put it that way." Shimizu Koji rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"It's impossible to explain, right? It doesn't matter. I don't care about that. Anyway, your kung fu is pretty good. If you think about it from another angle, it's actually an old woman like me who is taking advantage."

"Hey, Miss Mary, don't be so extreme. I don't think it has come to that point between us. Are you planning to break the jar with me after you get your revenge?"

Akai Mary curled her lips, "Why, is it not possible? Besides this and that, what else can you do to me?"

Shimizu Koji was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but complain: "Okay, I have to admit one thing now, you are really Shiho's aunt." However, after saying that, looking at Akai Mari who was eating a sandwich with a sneer on her face, Shimizu Koji couldn't help but have an extremely 'strange' idea in his mind.
Who told you to say that first? After a moment of inner struggle, Shimizu Koji's eyes became firm and "ferocious".

"Since you say so, then just enjoy your work!"

The inside story here is not something that can be told to outsiders.

All you need to know is that Akai Mary ate the sandwich with disgust, and the look she gave Shimizu Koji was once again full of contempt.
But it's not Shimizu Koji's fault for all this. Who told her to say that first? Shimizu Koji was very innocent at the beginning.

-

After breakfast, Koji Shimizu sent Mary Akai back to the Grand Hotel in Haido as she was, and then called Michiko Tetsu and asked her to help create two new legitimate identities for Mary Akai and Masumi Sera.

After a while, Akai Mary and Sera Masumi will be able to move out of the hotel and move to Beika Town.

Afterwards, Koji Shimizu returned home and told Ai and Akemi everything that happened last night, except for what happened in the hotel later.

Then, he was pulled by Haibara Ai and got into the car again, acting as the driver.

The destination, of course, is the organization's base. They are going to get the information about drug A openly.

"If I had known I would have told you later. I just got home and you dragged me out again."

Koji Shimizu complained while fastening his seat belt. Although the loli in the co-pilot seat was replaced by the smaller Haibara Ai, Haibara Ai's venomous tongue was even better than that of Akai Mary.

"Is going home important to you?"

Huibara asked very seriously, staring at Shimizu Koji with her big eyes, without any fear.

“Uh (⊙o⊙)…, of course it’s important.”

"But my sister, Yukiko, and I didn't receive your call. We waited for dinner from seven to nine in the evening, and your phone was turned off the whole time."

"Sorry, I forgot." Koji Shimizu opened his mouth, but decisively did not continue to be stubborn.

And now he finally understood why even Mingmei at home did not welcome him as warmly as before, and Yukiko even turned around and went upstairs when she saw him.

Yesterday, his phone ran out of battery early because he had been using it for tracking and navigation. Later, he had to use Vermouth's phone to continue tracking. In addition, due to the special nature of Karasuma Renya, he forgot about everything else. Finally, he solved everything and returned to Tokyo. When he should have gone home, he couldn't resist the temptation.
This, this, this. It was rare for Koji Shimizu to feel a little guilty and even embarrassed.

Just when he thought that Haibara Ai would continue her attack, he didn't expect that after fastening her seat belt, Haibara Ai suddenly became quiet and turned to look out the window.

After a long while, he said softly, "Next time. It won't happen again. We are really worried."

Haibara Ai did not continue to be aggressive like before, which surprised Shimizu Koji. However, seeing her pretending not to care, he couldn't help feeling a little warm in his heart.

"I understand, Shiho."
