They got carried away and forgot about someone's tendency to be a sore loser.

However, how could the little fox outrun the big bad wolf?

The little fox was very clever, but it couldn't compete with the big bad wolf's strength and cunning!

With lightning speed, Yuzuru pulled Ai Haibara, who was trying to get up and escape, back into his arms, his arm locking her tightly like an iron band, making her unable to move.

As Ai struggled, she muttered, "Can't take a joke, can't take a joke...?"

Yuzuru just chuckled softly, his warm breath brushing against Ai's ear: "Ai, you've been so naughty, it seems I need to teach you what it means to be obedient."

As he spoke, he freed one hand and gently tickled Xiao Ai's skin. The little girl was very ticklish, and she immediately laughed until tears welled up in her eyes. Her body went limp and she could only wriggle weakly in his arms.

"Haha... Stop tickling me, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay!" Ai pleaded breathlessly.

Yuzuru Nan still didn't let go of her, a smug grin on his face.

When Mingmei and Xiaolan came out of the kitchen, only the television was quietly playing a program in the living room.

...........

At a certain base of the organization, the air was filled with a faint aroma of alcohol.

Vermouth, dressed in a tight black dress, leaned lazily against the bar, gently swirling the wine in her glass with her right hand, the liquid rippling softly with her movement.

Just then, the cell phone rang abruptly.

Vermouth glanced casually at the caller ID, a slight smile playing on her lips, before pressing the answer button.

"Osaka?"

Her voice carried a slightly languid tone as she softly uttered those two words, as if savoring their nuances.

“Alright, but…” Vermouth deliberately dragged out her words, paused, and then revealed a charming smile: “Young master, did you invite just me, or did you invite all the other girls?”

For once, Yuzuru Hanyu was silent on the other end of the phone.

That familiar tone, that familiar dialogue—no wonder Vermouth and Ai don't get along.

Like repels like!

After a long while, Yuzuru said helplessly, "Sister Bei, stop messing around. Qinglan is with you, right? You two can come over together, and we'll meet in Osaka."

Hearing this, Vermouth lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Pu Siqinglan, who was intently mixing vermouth for her at the bar. Pu Siqinglan noticed her gaze, looked up, and gave her a smile.

Sister Bei said softly, "I knew it. If the other girls hadn't invited you, you wouldn't have thought of me, little master."

Yu Shengnan's lips twitched. "Sister Bei, please don't say that."

Vermouth chuckled, "Alright, little master, I was just teasing you. Tell me, what are you going to Osaka for? Don't tell me it's just for sightseeing."

"You guessed right! We're mainly going to participate in a kendo tournament, and our family is taking the opportunity to travel around a bit..."

"A kendo tournament? Young master, you certainly have a refined taste."

"No, no..."

The two chatted briefly for a while longer.

After hanging up the phone, Vermouth leaned quietly against the bar, thinking about the phrase "our family," and a deep smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Once, she wandered alone in the darkness, surrounded by conspiracies and betrayals; she was a lonely person, forgotten by the world.

But now, everything is different.

She has found her beloved little master.

...........

Hanyu's second house.

"Go see the autumn leaves? Great! I want to go! I want to go!"

Yukiko, who had just finished yoga and taken a shower and was comfortably lying on the soft bed, agreed without thinking and was even a little impatient.

She swung her fair legs, her toes playfully twirling in the air, her damp hair still carrying the moisture from her shower, winding down her fair shoulders.

How could such a fun thing be complete without Fujimine Yukiko?

Life should be full of fun adventures and joyful gatherings, let alone such a romantic and wonderful activity as admiring the autumn leaves.

"You naughty little brother, tell me honestly, did you invite anyone else besides me?" After her excitement subsided, Yukiko blinked her bright eyes, her tone tinged with slyness.

The familiar conversation caused Yuzuru Hanyu to fall silent for the third time today.

Sure enough, no matter what kind of girl she is, she will care whether she is special.

"Ahem, I also invited Sister Bei and the others..."

"Hmph! I knew that brat would come!"

Yukiko curled her lips, raised her eyebrows, and exuded a murderous aura. "I don't care, why should she have helpers? I'm going to call Eri to come and play too!"

"It's a deal! Double happiness is on your side!"

Yuzuru readily agreed to his older sister's request.

He was thinking about how to make Yukiko and the others appear in front of Ran and the others in a reasonable way.

After all, Yukiko and Bei-jie didn't want to reveal their special relationship with him to these young girls for the time being.

In their view, it was beneath their dignity to compete with a group of young girls for a man's affections.

A true master should face off against another master.

If you're a woman, come and compete against someone of the same skill level.

Yukiko on the other end of the phone snorted coldly, pretending not to hear what Nanami Yuzuru said afterward. At this moment, her mind was completely focused on how to get Eri Kisaki onto her "pirate ship".

After hanging up the phone, she sat up abruptly in bed, cross-legged, and, with her hands on her chin, fell into deep thought.

"Eri, Eri, you certainly wouldn't want to see your best friend being bullied, would you...?"

Yukiko muttered to herself softly.

Recalling the last big battle with Sharon at the villa.

Although the two ended in a draw, Yukiko realized the importance of having helpers. If it weren't for her bad brother taking sides, she would have been really overwhelmed by Sharon and Urako Seiran.

Therefore, in order to deal with this situation.

Yukiko decided that she had to drag her best friend Eri Kisaki into this mess no matter what.

Anyway, given her brother's bad personality, Eri would fall for him sooner or later; she's just bringing it forward a little bit.

A woman's competitive spirit can sometimes be quite terrifying...

"I can't believe I came up with such a perfect idea! I guess I really am a beetroot!"

Yukiko clapped her hands suddenly, her big eyes blinking with excitement, feeling smug about her brilliant idea.

Do you really think you can defeat Princess Yukiko just by bringing along an accomplice?

These days, everyone needs a helper. If you don't have one, then create one.

She, Yukiko Fujimine, is never afraid of any difficulties!

Little Sharon, how ridiculous!
