Chapter 48 Eight Presidents
The Akae residence holds a gathering almost every week, and participants are determined by who is free on that day. After all, they meet each other every day, so there is no need to make time to attend. For example, Oda Sakunosuke, Dazai Osamu and others were not present this time.
"The doctor and Sawada went to San Francisco to attend a seminar. I've been staying at my sister's place for the past two days." Huibara held the juice in her hands and explained in time when the black-haired young man looked over.
Chi Jiang Na Yue recalled for a moment and indeed found such a thing in his mind. He thought for a while: "Then, should we stay overnight for the next two days like before?"
His house has a number of guest rooms reserved for children, ready for use in situations like this.
The most important thing is that now his battle with the demon has begun. Considering how well Akae Nayue knows about the Russian's methods, it is completely impossible for him to let the two sisters go home without worry. Not to mention that he is worried, part of the purpose of Huibara Ai bringing up this matter is to get them to stay overnight.
She knew that as the logistics and medical staff of the detective agency, if anyone showed up to target the detective agency, they would definitely choose to start with her - Haibara Ai was not worried about taking the risk herself, but she didn't want her sister to take the risk, so staying with Nazuki, the man she trusted the most, was the best option.
So the girl nodded easily.
Chi Jiang Na Yue, who was sitting opposite her, was distracted for a while, thinking about the next arrangements.
[When is the next mission?] He asked the book in his mind.
[Shu] readily replied: [I will be able to gather enough energy for the next trip by 3 pm tomorrow. Do you want to go directly then?]
Tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock... Akae Natsuki calculated that according to Kudo Shinichi's investigation habits and time, they would probably still be near the Tower of the Sun at that time.
If every mission was the same as this time, with a time difference of only three seconds, then when he completed the second mission and came back, it would be just a blink of an eye in the eyes of Kudo Shinichi and others.
Just stay out of their sight for a while, otherwise when the [Book] is thrown at him, there is a very likely sight of a living person disappearing on the spot for three seconds.
Chijiang Nayue is not ready to announce to the public that she has accepted the mission to help in another world. As for the reason...
Of course, you have to collect enough of the dark history of your friends in the other world and then show it to them all at once, so that it will be shocking.
A certain savior thought so.
When Chijiang Nayue was distracted in thinking, a hand reached out from behind and tried to take advantage of the situation.
The young man in the haori looked up expressionlessly and met the eyes of Matsuda Jinpei who was tiptoeing behind him. He suddenly smiled softly, "Jinpei-kun, what are you doing?"
"I see you've finished your fruit tea. Let me add some for you." Curly-haired police officer Si didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said it calmly, sounding very innocent - ignore the smirk at the corner of his lips.
Of course, it is impossible to ignore Chijiang Nayue.
"Oh, really?" His eyes became sharp. "Do you want me to add some vodka to my fruit tea?"
Matsuda Jinpei froze for a moment as he was trying to hide the bottle behind his body, but then he immediately became confident and said, "You have a day off tomorrow anyway, so drinking a few sips occasionally won't affect solving the case!"
The savior sneered and was not prepared to ask where the vodka came from - in the words of Hagi, who was in cahoots with the curly-haired idiot, "wine will grow in boxes that have not been used for a long time."
Chi Jiang Nayue no longer wanted to keep count of how much alcohol these two idiots had smuggled into his house, a place that didn't drink, using this excuse since he graduated from the police academy.
He smiled as if the spring breeze was blowing on your face: "Is that so."
Then, without any warning, he punched Matsuda Jinpei in the face. The next second, the two men, who were almost sixty years old in total, moved to the living room and started fighting skillfully.
The other people at the table had already gotten used to this, and except for Kudo Shinichi, who always watched the game with great interest, the rest continued to eat as if nothing had happened, not being disturbed at all.
Furukaya Rei even took the opportunity to grab the most complete and largest fried chicken leg from Akae's plate with his chopsticks at lightning speed, while the drink in front of Matsuda Jinpei's seat had already been replaced by Hagiwara Kenji from Sprite to another glass of vodka.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked up casually, cleared his throat and reminded him implicitly: "Na Yue, curry is not delicious when it's cold."
The two people who had been making a mess at the table quickly sat up straight and pretended nothing had happened.
Haibara Ai looked to her left at Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran who were huddled together and chatting in low voices with laughter, and then looked to her right at her sister who was concentrating on picking up food for her.
She glanced at the five adults on the other side who had just returned and started a fight with a new target with a clear goal, as well as Kudo Shinichi who had secretly poured herself a cup of iced coffee and drank it during the chaos, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Is it really necessary for such an organization to be targeted by evil forces?
With a "click", a plate of small and exquisite sandwiches was placed in front of Huibara Ai. From the color, she recognized at a glance that it was filled with her favorite peanut butter and blueberry jam.
While fighting (playing) with Fūya Rei, Akae Natsuki brought this out from the kitchen and smiled at her: "You don't seem to have much of an appetite tonight, Ai?"
…
Under the gaze of Kudo Shin's half-moon eyes, Huibara Ai lowered her head calmly.
In short, it was all the fault of those evil forces. Brother Yue would never make a mistake.
—
At 3:20 in the morning, Chijiang Nayue closed her eyes punctually, then lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for five minutes.
Not long after the birth of the new world, he was (forced to) resume a barely normal schedule, and his friends forced him to sleep at least seven hours.
Chijiang Nayue was really not used to it. She would always wake up naturally after three hours, then get up and work quietly, only to be caught on the spot by other gorillas who were waiting for her.
But what high-level player can stand the overflow of physical strength?
Although Chi Jiang Na Yue already knew that the so-called game was just his supernatural power in disguise, he had also long accepted the "physical strength" setting simulated by his supernatural power. It was really frustrating to see the full physical strength bar there, but he could only look at it and not move.
As the saying goes, when the moon in Chijiang is not happy, no one else can be happy either.
Well, the other people who were supervising his sleep during that time were also tortured by the pranks that happened during the day and were complaining bitterly.
Thinking of this, the still paralyzed savior lazily called out the simulation panel, and decided to admire the perfect data that he had worked hard for seven years.
"Supernatural power, [Klein's pot]."
Chi Jiang's moon-like lips moved slightly, and the air around him twisted and shattered for a moment as the words fell. Then, a light blue screen with slightly flickering edges unfolded in front of his eyes.
His eyes naturally passed over the basic data above and stayed on the health bar in the lower half of the panel.
[Stamina: 100/Enough for you to work overtime for three days and three nights]
...This ability of bending one's elbow outwards really makes me unable to forget to make precise comments about him.
As a bug ability that can turn the surrounding world into a game, the most satisfying thing about [Klein's Pot] is that it can also display his own various values in a concrete way, and then give a comment that is very much in the style of the little devil himself.
For example, look up, omitting some of the details that are too detailed——
[Level: Even a certain Saiyan can't beat you...
Agility: Are you a monkey?
Infectiousness: Oh my god, the pyramid scheme leader is actually you
Reputation: If one day you say there is an alien invasion, everyone will believe it.
Below the stamina bar is a list of achievements, titles, and skills to be revealed.
If the Klein Jug used a radar chart to display its physical data, then Akae Nazuki would probably be what most players call a pentagonal warrior.
The existence of the stamina bar makes Chi Jiang Na Yue very clear about his own limits, which means he never takes his situation too seriously. After all, he won't die anytime soon, and his stamina bar is long enough to pierce through a child.
Similarly, three hours and twenty minutes is the total time required for his stamina bar to recover from zero to full value.
Chijiang Nayue also tried to explain this matter to her friends, but sometimes her physical strength would be reset to zero and she would not be at home, so she had to disconnect and take a nap.
So in the end, he was forced to extend his sleep time.
However, there were many times when Chi Jiang Na Yue would not really lie in bed obediently for seven hours——
In the room where dim light was visible through the curtains, a young man with black hair and red eyes turned off the special power panel and slid down from the bed with light and skillful movements.
Just kidding, he deliberately made a scene with others for so long at the party last night, wasn't it just to block the possibility of Furuya Rei telling him about the dream or asking him directly? If he didn't just sneak away now while that guy was sleeping, when would he wait?
As for Shinichi and Hiro who had agreed to investigate, we'll just have to wait for them to come over and meet him later!
After the savior, dressed and washed, swaggered out of his house, the door of a guest room with a wooden sign with a golden Q-version head graffitied on it was opened from the inside.
The blond policeman, with a sober look, stroked his chin, leaned against the door frame, and stared at the floor in a daze with his eyes downcast.
He didn't have the same dream after falling asleep last night.
In fact, Furuya Rei hasn't decided yet whether to tell Morobushi Kagemitsu and others the details of his dream.
To be honest, that dream was so real, as if it really happened in another world, and he was seeing it from another person's perspective the whole time, and could feel some of that other person's emotions.
Therefore, when Rei Furuya found out that all his friends in his dream except the squad leader had died in the line of duty, and that Nazuki Akae had never even met him, he was not in a good mood at all.
——At least he didn't want to tell them the details of the dream until they had had it too.
Fūya Rei looked up in the direction where Akae Nayue left.
It would be too bad for him to tell his childhood friends and close friends in person that "that might be the real world, but you are all gone."
