The moment she sat down, Yu Sheng Nan slowly closed the thick original novel in his hand.
Yuzuru wasn't surprised at all that the other student would transfer to his school.
After all, he was a former MI6 ace agent. Even though his body has shrunk and resources are limited now, if he really wanted to investigate, he could definitely find some clues and follow them to Teitan.
If she doesn't even have this much ability, then Akai Mary has wasted all those years.
Speaking of which, according to the settings of the anime from the previous life, Mary Akai's family is indeed quite amazing.
It's one thing for family members to have different surnames—Akai, Sera, Haneda—and even their nationalities are different.
The father, Tsutomu Akai, worked for MI6 and disappeared for many years; his mother, Mary Akai, was also an MI6 elite, but has now been drugged and turned into a blonde, blue-eyed little girl. The eldest brother, Shuichi Akai, went to work for the rival FBI and faked his death to go undercover. The second brother, Hideyoshi Haneda, was adopted by the Haneda family at a young age and became a shogi master. The youngest sister, Masumi Sera... has a personality and appearance like a real man, and dreams of becoming a detective.
What's even more incredible is that his parents were agents of MI6 in the UK, while his older brother went to work for the FBI in the US. This family background is truly unique, making them a "model family" in the international intelligence community.
During holidays, we never know which headquarters to go to for a family dinner.
Thinking of the FBI, Yuzuru Hanyu's lips curled into a playful smile.
Shuichi Akai hasn't finished settling accounts for his previous attempt to infiltrate and investigate by exploiting the feelings of his naive maid, Akemi.
Although we gave her a small "punishment" last time, turning her from Sera Masumi's older brother into her "older sister," it doesn't mean that this debt is wiped clean.
Exploiting emotions, especially the emotions of a naive and kind girl, is one of the methods he despises the most.
He truly lives up to his family's reputation as a family of spies. Even knowing that Miyano Akemi is his cousin, he can still use his emotions to get close to her and complete his mission without batting an eye. He fully embodies the spy's "any means to achieve his goal" trait. What "excellent" family upbringing!
If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.
Oh, Akai Tsutomu is missing, so it can't be attributed to him.
Then the child's debt should be repaid by the mother, which should make logical sense, right?
After all, my mother's upbringing wasn't up to par.
Far away in her suite at the Mika Hotel, Mary Akai, who was frowning as she studied encrypted data on her computer, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and sneezed, a small sneeze that perfectly matched her current loli-like appearance.
Achoo!
She rubbed her small nose in confusion, a hint of bewilderment flashing in her large blue eyes.
Could it be that her immune system weakened after shrinking, and she caught a cold? Or... is someone plotting against her?
.........
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
The innocent and kind-hearted Ran, who believes in "admitting mistakes," immediately pulled Sonoko, who was still a little awkward and felt embarrassed, to Sera Masumi's seat to apologize.
No wonder Xiaolan is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.
She never considered another possibility—who says girls can't be perverts?
Female, likes women, and believes in the beauty of lilies. Want to know more?
"Um... Sera-kun, I'm so sorry about what happened on the bus yesterday!" Ran bowed sincerely. "We misunderstood you and thought you were... that kind of person... I'm really sorry!"
She was too embarrassed to say the word "pervert" directly.
Although Sonoko was still a little upset about the fright she'd experienced yesterday, she chimed in, her tone slightly awkward: "Yeah, who knew you were a girl... Since you're a girl, you're definitely not a pervert, right? It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! Haha..."
Sera Masumi wasn't a petty person to begin with, and seeing them come to apologize, she immediately waved her hand cheerfully, revealing her tiger teeth as she laughed, "It's alright, it's alright! We became friends after our little misunderstanding! And that guy from yesterday... Yuzuru-kun, right? He's really skilled!"
She then steered the conversation toward Yuzuru Hanyu.
Sera Masumi's carefree, unpretentious, and "buddy-like" personality quickly bridged the gap between her and Sonoko, who was equally outgoing and had a quirky way of thinking.
The three introduced themselves to each other, and the atmosphere quickly warmed up.
As they chatted, Sera Masumi casually gestured with her chin towards Hanyu Nanami, who was whispering with Ooka Momiji, and asked indirectly, "That Hanyu-kun... seems to have a good relationship with you guys? He is...?"
Ran and Sonoko exchanged a glance, both with slightly shy yet happy smiles on their faces.
Sonoko, always outspoken, chuckled and said in a low voice with a hint of pride, "Nan, he's our boyfriend!"
Xiaolan blushed and nodded gently.
Sera Masumi: "!!!"
Her eyes widened instantly, and her mouth opened slightly, enough to fit an egg.
I thought that liking girls was already considered quite unconventional in this society... I never expected there would be experts here!
They've created a harem right off the bat?!
One boyfriend, several girlfriends?
And it seems these girls have a good relationship?
Is this legal in Japan now? Or is it some new upper-class trend she's unaware of?
However, as shocking as it may seem, this is indeed an important intelligence lead.
Sera Masumi silently wrote it down in her mental notebook:
[Target Person: Yuzuru Kusunoki]
Gender: Male
[Hobbies: Female (plural, exact number to be verified, three confirmed so far, and possibly more?)]
[Personality traits: Extremely high combat prowess, lacks gentlemanly manners, but seems to be extremely popular with women and able to maintain harmony within the harem?]
[Note: It is crucial to closely observe their relationship with the target, Ai Haibara/Shiho Miyano, and whether they possess the antidote. Their complex interpersonal relationships may provide a breakthrough.]
She secretly glanced at the black-haired boy who remained calm despite being surrounded by several beautiful girls, and felt that although the mission had a bizarre start, it should be able to be completed quickly.
Mom underestimated Sera Masumi.
Wouldn't that make it easy to infiltrate the "enemy"?
They also obtained crucial intelligence!
Next, all she needs to do is maintain good relationships with these girls, each with their own distinct personality but all quite adorable, and then naturally make contact with Yuzuru Nanami. Following the clues, she can then investigate the brown-haired loli who is likely her cousin, obtain the antidote, save her mother, and reach the pinnacle of her life...
Yes, that's it, plan in place.
I'm such a genius detective!
Sera Masumi mentally gave herself a thumbs up, feeling that her future was bright.
