Eri, held in Natsume's arms, turned to look at Yukiko: "It takes you twenty minutes to do your makeup. Isn't it too much trouble to redo it?"
"Sigh, putting on makeup is indeed a lot of trouble, but—"
Yukiko playfully poked Natsume's cheek, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a mischievous chuckle:
"Since our Demon King has made up his mind, he definitely won't let us off the hook. If you keep messing around, it won't just be a matter of redoing your makeup; you might have to take a bath and change your clothes again. What will you do then?"
"..."
After listening to her best friend's words, Eri realized the problem as well. She was now pressed against Natsume's body and had noticed some changes. If she let him hold her for a while longer, she might end up doing everything Yukiko had mentioned!
"bring it on!"
With that in mind, Eri Kisaki decisively tiptoed, raised her pretty face, and pouted slightly. Reapplying lipstick was much better than getting out of bed all over again!
"This is so good!"
Xia Ye smiled and lowered her head.
A moment later, he released Eri Kisaki's slender and supple waist.
Eri rolled her eyes at him, opened her bag, took out her lipstick, and started touching up her makeup.
Fortunately, it was just a matter of touching up lip balm.
Xia Ye did not push her luck or do anything further.
After letting go of his inhibitions, he went to find Yukiko.
She watched as Natsume and Yukiko shared a kiss right in front of her.
Of course, Eri was immune to such scenes. After they finished, she handed the unclosed clear lipstick to Yukiko.
"Eri, that's an indirect kiss~"
As Yukiko applied her makeup, she blinked her beautiful eyes suggestively, as if she was seizing any opportunity to tease Eri.
"Haha~"
Eri Kisaki was completely too lazy to pay attention to Yukiko's feeble flirting. Forget indirect kissing; it's not like they haven't kissed before. For her to feel shy, unless—
Eri Kisaki's pretty face actually turned red.
She thought of the yuri novel she had secretly read one day.
The scenes depicted there—
Ahem! In short, Xia Ye will definitely like it!
...
When Xia Ye arrived on the deck.
The Isabella is about to dock at Osaka Port, marking the end of this short one-day, one-night cruise trip.
Including Tomoko Suzuki and her group, with the exception of a few guests who wanted to spend a few days in Osaka, almost everyone was preparing to fly back to Tokyo.
The Isabella will then rest in Osaka for two days before continuing its round-the-world voyage shortly thereafter.
It will cross the Pacific Ocean, sailing along the west coast of the United States, then around South America to the east coast. After another rest and repairs, it will cross the Atlantic Ocean and finally reach Europe. This is the normal route for ocean-going cruise ships.
The Suzuki Foundation's use of it to entertain 500 guests for a day trip is truly extravagant and somewhat beneath its capabilities.
but--
Although it was a short trip, Xia Ye gained a lot.
Having met his two new wives, Kane Ooka and Shizuka Hattori, Cao Cao now has two more targets.
I've met Reiko Akiba, whose temperament, looks, and figure are all superb... well, let's put that aside for now~
The key is--
They've got Vermouth!
Bayonetta still has some masochistic tendencies; towards the end, she was almost completely submissive, allowing Xia Ye to see a different side of this multifaceted witch.
Xia Ye then realized that Vermouth was actually a woman who admired strength, and only a strong man could conquer her. He realized that his forced breakthrough this time was indeed the right choice.
Oh, right!
Natsume also experienced the thrilling scenes of Yukiko's project.
It's double!
It really felt great!
You can't play this kind of game too often, otherwise you'll lose the novelty. Just play it once in a while!
...
Osaka.
It is known as the city of waves.
Osaka International Airport.
The Suzuki family's two large private jets are parked here, specifically for transporting guests who attended the Suzuki Foundation's 60th anniversary banquet home.
Of course, Hattori Shizuka and Kazuha, who originally lived in Osaka, didn't need to be sent off by plane. Instead, they came to the airport to see Natsume and her group off back to Tokyo.
"Ran, come visit me in Osaka sometime!" Kazuha said, holding Ran's hand. "I'll take you to see Osaka Castle and Tsutenkaku Tower, and then we'll eat all the delicious food in Osaka!"
"Know it!"
Xiaolan's beautiful eyes crinkled with laughter: "I'll bring Xia Ye along too, okay? I think he'll definitely want to enjoy Osaka's beautiful scenery and delicious food—and beautiful women, hehehe~"
"Hate!"
He Ye blushed; Xiao Lan was teasing her with a hidden meaning in her words!
Ran gave the shy Kazuha a meaningful look; in truth, her words weren't just directed at her—
There's another log holder in Osaka Castle!
not far away.
Shizuka Hattori was exchanging pleasantries with Tomoko Suzuki.
When she was with Suzuki Tomoko, she felt like the other woman could see right through her. She knew it was because the other woman was the log administrator and could see a lot of her information. Maybe the other woman knew as soon as she got the log!
"We're the same age, let's just call each other by our first names. Calling each other 'Madam' is too formal!"
Tomoko Suzuki suggested with a light laugh.
"That's fine, Tomoko~"
Hattori Shizuka did not reject Suzuki Tomoko's advances, even though she already knew the other party's true intentions.
"Jinghua~" Suzuki Tomoko's beautiful eyes darted around, "How does it feel to have a logbook?"
Hattori Shizuka hadn't expected Suzuki Tomoko to be so direct, but she wasn't actually surprised. Since Suzuki Tomoko was an administrator, it was normal for her to ask this question, whether subtly or bluntly.
She shook her head, a hint of helplessness appearing on her exceptionally fair and delicate face. "I don't think it's very good. This thing is like a demon that can manipulate people's hearts. If you're not careful, you'll become its, no, its master's slave. It's just too domineering!"
"Actually, it's not that domineering~"
Tomoko Suzuki smiled faintly and said:
"You yourself haven't been affected much, have you? As long as you can resist the temptation, the log's corrupting influence on the holder isn't that overbearing."
"I also know of one owner who has only opened the log twice since she got it. Before the update, she even received a random reward, but she didn't claim it at all. Her willpower is terrifying. For someone like her, the log has almost no impact on her."
"I see!"
Hattori Shizuka could certainly sense these things.
However, she glanced at Kazuha not far away and sighed softly, "But Kazuha, she and my son are childhood sweethearts..."
"You should let your son find someone else."
Suzuki Tomoko's eyes showed pity. She lightly tapped her slender fingers on the journal for a while, and then said, "These past few days, that girl named Kazuha has made dozens of wishes in the journal. Although they are all simple wishes, I only said, there's no hope. Let her fall for her!"
"Hey!"
Hattori Shizuka sighed again.
She decided that once she got back, she would find an opportunity to confront Kazuha.
Then I advised her to make fewer wishes in her journal, saying that this might help her control the rate at which she falls into depravity.
However, he won't be able to hide his identity as the log holder anymore, and considering that all the log holders are female characters that Natsume likes—it will definitely be very awkward if he comes clean with Kazuha~
However, there are priorities and urgency in everything.
Lung Jinghua has made a decision.
...
Half an hour later.
The Suzuki Group's private plane took off from the runway and quickly entered the route to Tokyo.
Two more hours passed.
The plane landed at Haneda Airport.
This short trip has come to an end!
Xia Ye had a fruitful trip, and the girls had a great time. It truly was a wonderful trip!
Chapter 320: Green Momo's Unusual Thoughts!
Metropolitan Police Department, search lesson one.
Natsume sat at Sato Miwako's desk.
Listening to Inspector Megure's beaming praise, I felt like my ears were getting calluses.
"Xia Ye, thanks to you this time!"
"The killer in the serial kidnapping and murder of several teenage girls has finally been caught!"
The pressure on his shoulders vanished instantly, and Inspector Megure secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his chubby face beaming with an even brighter smile.
Xia Ye waved her hand and said with a smile:
"It was Miwako who solved the case. I only received the notification when the arrest was happening, so I just went to lend a hand."
"Inspector Megure, don't give me all the credit. Remember to give it to Miwako, and don't forget the bonus!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget it!"
Inspector Megure patted his chest and assured him, "Sato is my most valued subordinate, and I remember all her credits!"
"That's good~"
Xia Ye looked at Sato Miwako, who was chatting with another policewoman not far away.
What he just said to Inspector Megure wasn't out of favoritism towards his own people, but rather the truth.
The location where the criminals were hiding was indeed found by Miwako Sato; he was just an assistant.
The only slightly strange thing is—
Last night, Sato Miwako invited him out for a candlelight dinner, and then they went to a hotel. She even wore her female detective uniform, which she almost never wears. I thought she had something to ask of him, but after all that fuss, she just went to sleep!
And then today she found the trail of those criminals!
Xia Ye was a little puzzled.
Could sleeping with yourself actually have a strengthening effect?
Can it make people smarter or something?
impossible?
However, to be honest...
Last night, Sato Miwako's real police uniform was really great. Although it wasn't revealing at all, it gave people a sense of satisfaction just by looking at her. Especially the uniform with a pencil skirt and black stockings, it was simply a feast for the eyes!
The black stockings were styled by Miwako Sato herself.
But that tight-fitting uniform and narrow pencil skirt are the standard summer attire for female detectives in the Metropolitan Police Department.
The fact that the Metropolitan Police Department's logistics department issues these uniforms to female detectives who spend their days catching criminals is clearly not for them to wear on a daily basis.
