Chapter 113

Xingchuan and Ming used the excuse that they were in a hurry to see their daughter, and quickly dragged Nishihara Tadahiko to room 908. And because of what happened in the elevator just now, Xingchuan and Ming were unwilling to enter the elevator again no matter what.

Nishihara Tadahiko thought his sudden stubbornness was a sudden onset of PTSD, but Xingchuan and Ming were thinking that their strange physiques could even affect elevators. If they were trapped in the elevator again the next time they took it, wouldn't they have to experience danger again?

So it is safer to climb the safety ladder.

However, what they didn't expect was that the moment they opened the door to the stairwell, they actually saw Naoto Matsui again.

Matsui Naoto was also climbing the stairs, and was slightly surprised when he saw someone coming in. However, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was the two of them.

It was somewhat funny to see the three people who had just experienced the elevator shock get together to climb the stairs again.

Xingchuan and Ming immediately recalled the scene they had just seen in the elevator, and asked cautiously:

"Mr. Matsui? What are you doing?"

Matsui Naoto didn't notice Hoshikawa Kazuaki's defensive attitude at all, and said in a natural tone:

"A guest upstairs accidentally kicked the room card into the gap of the door of the empty room opposite, so as a waiter I had no choice but to run over to open the door."

He looked up at the long staircase that he had not yet climbed, and said with a helpless smile:

"You know, I don't want to go in the elevator at all, so I have to take the stairs."

Only then did Xingchuan and Ming dispel their doubts about him.

It's not that he is suspicious, but he has encountered a lot of bad things during this trip. He has a feeling that things are about to get out of control, so he has to be more cautious about Matsui Naoto who has appeared for the second time. Now it seems that his appearance is really just a coincidence.

Thinking that there was not much time left, and Matsui Naoto who appeared one after another happened to have the authority to open the empty room, which could just make up for his lack of time. So he immediately used consciousness to contact Kagano Satoshi.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: Xiaozhi, I met a waiter here who has the authority to open the empty room. He went to help open the door and pick up things. I think this method is not bad. You can just find something and throw it into the door of room 918, then call the front desk to send someone to help open the door. This can save time. After we go upstairs, we can directly enter the topic and save the time of laying the foundation.

Kagino Satoshi: Huh! Did you just think of this? I had thought of this method a long time ago, and I had already called the front desk. Maybe the waiter you met was the one I called.

Kazuaki Hoshikawa: ...Awesome! come on!

Unexpectedly, the always silly vest has become smart now, and Xingchuan and Ming have regained some confidence in this script. After all, this time they have to face the bomb right from the start, and Kagano Satoshi's powerful operation has restored some confidence in Xingchuan and Ming.

Standing in front of the door of Room 918, Kagino Satoshi quickly cut off the connection of consciousness. He was very proud when he was praised by Xingchuan and Ming, but when he faced the narrow gap under his feet again, he couldn't hide his guilt on his face.

What he didn't say just now was that the room card of his room was not thrown into the door crack intentionally in order to open the door of Room 918 earlier as he said just now, but was accidentally dropped on the ground by Kagino Satoshi, and when he bent down to pick it up, his foot slipped and he accidentally kicked it into the crack of the door opposite.

But how can I tell such a shameful thing to anyone? Not even to my other self!

Therefore, Kagino Satoshi had to reproach himself for "deceiving even himself" while lying fluently and naturally, and he actually deceived Hoshikawa and Ming who loved to lie the most!

I actually succeeded?

I even want to deceive myself. It seems that I am really crazy!

A strange sense of pride suddenly arose in Kagino Satoshi's heart.

After Hoshikawa, Ming and the other two came out of the stairwell on the 9th floor, they saw Kagano Tomomasa standing in front of room 918 with his hands on his hips. The smug expression on his face made Hoshikawa and Ming twitch their lips.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki: You should calm down a bit. Who in their right mind would be so proud of dropping the room card into the door crack? Isn't this telling others that there is something wrong with you?

Kagino Satoshi: …

Kagino Satoshi quickly pretended that he didn't want to see them, and spoke to Hoshikawa and Akira bluntly:

"What are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you that I never want to see you again?"

Nishihara Tadahiko: This is a strange attitude. Are these two really childhood friends? No matter how you look at it, it looks like they did something bad and then broke up.

Naoto Matsui: I never thought that I would be confronted with Mr. Hoshinokawa's brutal battle just to open the door for customers! Could it be that Mr. Hoshinokawa is willing to sacrifice himself for the next manga? It's really amazing. I never thought that he would go to such lengths to draw a good manga! He is worthy of being Mr. Hoshinokawa!

Hoshikawa and Akemi couldn't stand Kagano Satoshi's stiff acting anymore, so they changed the subject:

"How about we open the door and get the room card first. Is this the room?"

Xiaozhi took a step back, and Matsui Naoto immediately stepped forward and opened the door with his service staff's special room card.

As soon as the door opened, Xingchuan and Ming walked in first, not paying any attention to the room card on the ground. Instead, they pretended to stay in the room opposite Kagano Satoshi and turned around to say to everyone:

"I think this room is in a very convenient location. Since it's still empty, I might as well stay here. Mr. Matsui, please talk to the front desk. I'll reserve it now and go down to check in later."

As he spoke, he looked around the room, his attitude so natural that it seemed as if he really treated this place as his own room.

Nishihara Tadahiko already knew that Hoshikawa and Akira were here to make peace with the noisy Yukino, so he didn't find their abnormal behavior strange at this time.

Matsui Naoto was very excited. If Hoshikawa and Akira really stayed here, wouldn't he be able to get in close contact with the little idol? Maybe he could even get a few portraits or something.

Although Hoshikawa Kazuaki appears calm and composed, he is actually extremely nervous. The explosion time planned by Nagata Ryo is getting closer and closer, and he must find the bomb hidden in this room as quickly as possible and contact Matsuda Jinpei immediately.

Under the pretense of checking whether the room facilities were complete, he quickly checked every corner, even opening the cabinet doors and drawers one by one to check.

At this point, he finally discovered the benefits of the "sensing electronic devices" that the hooded vest mentioned. If he could have such a keen sense, why would he need to search bit by bit?

However, the waiter Matsui Naoto, after his excitement just passed, seemed to be suddenly awakened. He turned his head and stared at the huge dressing mirror on the wall, muttering in confusion:

"Eh? That's weird. Why is there something strange in the closet mirror today? It looks like there's something extra in it?"

Hoshikawa Kazuaki was startled and turned around abruptly, staring sharply in the direction of the cabinet that Matsui Naoto mentioned.

It turns out that the dressing mirror in the room is not embedded directly on the wall, but embedded on the door of the closet. This design was originally designed to increase the utilization of the wall and optimize the visual effect. However, the shortcomings are also obvious now. Xingchuan and Ming just didn't even notice the existence of this closet.

Now, Matsui Naoto could feel something was inside the closet without even opening the door. Hoshikawa Kazuaki had only seen this happen with hooded vests before.

The scene in the elevator suddenly popped up in his mind.

In the intervals between the lights, Matsui Naoto's face was filled with fear. His eyes were wide open, and his originally brown pupils quickly enlarged in fear, and then suddenly a dark orange light shone from his pupils, getting brighter and brighter until his entire eyeball was reflected with a yellow halo.

Hoshikawa Kazuaki shook his head and suppressed the thought that had just arisen. Even if there was something special about Matsui Naoto, now was not the time to explore it.

He then strode forward and pulled open the cabinet door.
