"Too."
Yukiko changed her target to another person: "Xiaolei, do you have time?"
In just one short day, Ruisheng Rui had developed a relationship with Yukiko and the others where they could call each other by their names.
"I'm sorry, Yukiko." Lai Shenglei said softly, "I need to go back to see my two younger sisters at home, and then I need to take care of my own things."
"Your home..."
Yukiko subconsciously wanted to ask about the question of Raito's parents, but she was smart enough to understand the other meanings in the other person's words. She seemed to understand something and smiled:
"Oh, that's such a shame. Originally, I wanted to let you see my performance today."
"Performance?"
The tears of the next life are curious.
Kisaki Eri explained, "Yukiko loves performing. I went shopping for costumes and props with her yesterday, so I came home late."
Yukiko said with great vigor: "My dream is to become a famous star known all over the country."
Hoshino Shirazawa nodded. It seemed that Yukiko's dream came true when she was in high school.
"You guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first."
Without staying any longer, Hoshino Bai Ze packed up everything, picked up his schoolbag and quickly left the classroom.
He is going to have an interview for a new job today, and there is not much time left before the agreed time with the other party, so he cannot delay.
After a while, the tears of Laisheng also disappeared.
Yukiko looked at her best friend and said in frustration, "Damn it, we lost two viewers."
Kisaki Eri didn't answer, an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
Yukiko was stunned, her eyes gradually widened, and she asked through gritted teeth: "Hiki Eri, are you in trouble too?"
"Ahem, I didn't mean it. I have something to do and I have to go to the house left by my grandfather."
"..."
Yukiko was speechless.
Kisaki Eri smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Yukiko, how about I accompany you tomorrow?"
"Forget it, forget it. I'll go with you. Besides, I know where your grandfather's house is. I can go home and change into my performance costume. It's the same if I perform in that house."
"Yes, yes, let's do it together. Once you're done, I'll enjoy your performance."
Chapter 0007: 22-year-old Ikebo Shizuka
"Third-chome..."
"Third-chome..."
"Three Dings..."
Hoshino Bai Ze held the note in his hand and looked at the house numbers outside each residence, comparing them one by one.
Finally, he stopped.
"It should be here, right?"
Looking at the yard in front of him, Hoshino Bai Ze observed it carefully for a while. It had a strong sense of age, but it was well maintained and there was no visible damage.
Step forward.
I reached out to knock on the wooden door of the yard, but as soon as my hand touched it, the door opened.
"Isn't it locked?"
Hoshino Bai Ze strode in and saw a small pond with a circle of flowers planted beside it. The open space on the side was paved with pebbles.
Right in the middle of this moment, he saw the back of a woman in white training clothes, with her long hair tied into a bun at the back of her head. She held a sword high in her hand, motionless, and in front of her was a wooden stake.
this moment.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
Under the setting sun, the sword seemed to be glowing little by little.
Suddenly.
A "swish" sound.
The sword fell straight down, making a loud sound of breaking through the air, as if the air in front of eyes was being cut.
The next moment, nothing happened.
The sword slowly sheathed.
At this moment, the wooden stake standing in front of him broke into pieces silently and fell on the cobblestone ground.
"Hi~"
"At least a master at the Pistol level."
Hoshino Bai Ze gave an evaluation in his mind.
In Conan's world, pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, and Conan's football are all standards for judging a person's strength.
Of course, we don’t know how strong this woman is, after all, she has no rifle or sniper rifle to attack her.
Anyway, ordinary people definitely can’t do what they just did, like him.
"Hello."
The woman turned around and looked at Hoshino Bai Ze.
"Hello." Hoshino Bai Ze came back to his senses, looked at the fair forehead of the beautiful woman, and said with a smile: "I heard that you need a handyman here, I'm here to apply for the position."
"Oh~"
The woman showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, looked up and down at Xingye Bai Ze for a while, and asked: "My job here may be different. I have to do everything. For example, when I need a sparring partner, you want to be a sparring partner. Is that acceptable to you?"
"..."
Hoshino Bai Ze took a look at the broken wooden stake and the smooth cut surface, and felt a chill all over his body.
The only ability he has now is to [communicate with animals]. His current body is just that of an ordinary person for the time being and cannot withstand such torture.
Of course, if the next ability can enhance combat effectiveness, then everything will be fine, but it is not now after all.
However, when I think of Vermouth at home and the Black Organization, the most important thing is to stay away from them first.
"call……"
Hoshino Shirazawa took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Miss, is the salary the 10,000 yen per four hours that you announced?"
The Japanese yen was still very valuable during this period. If the salary was really that high, he could save a lot of money every month. He only needed to save a little and work for two months to move away from Vermouth.
"of course."
"Well, if there really is a sparring partner, I'm willing to accept it."
"rest assured."
The woman smiled. "I'm not a bad person. If you really need it, I will give you protective gear. I won't use a real sword, only a wooden sword. Okay, let's sign a contract first."
After saying that, he took out the prepared contract.
Hoshino Bai Ze took the contract and looked at the woman's name written on it. Just as he was about to sign, his body froze. The name he stared at was... [Ikeba Shizuka]
"Is there any problem?" Ikeba Shizuka asked at the right time.
"No."
Hoshino Bai Ze shook his head, wrote down his name, returned the contract, and began to look at the woman in front of him again.
At this moment, he finally saw clearly that the woman in front of him was the same woman he remembered when he saw her name just now.
Ikebo Shizuka.
In other words, she will be Hattori Heiji's mother in the future.
Now it was twenty years ago. If I remember correctly, the opponent should be twenty-two years old at this moment. In the original book, he also studied kendo. With such strength, it seems nothing surprising.
I just don’t know if the other person is single now?
But this is Tokyo, not Osaka. If she appears here, she should still be single. After all, Hattori Heiji and Xiaolan are the same age, and their mothers are still in school, so the chances of Ikenami Shizuka being single are very high.
"Okay, let's get to know each other. My name is Ikebo Shizuka, please give me your guidance."
"Hello, Ms. Ikenami. My name is Hoshino Shirazawa. Thank you for your guidance."
"Yes. Then, Hoshino-kun, you should clean up here first, and then clean the room inside. I have students coming to class later."
"Ok."
Hoshino Shirazawa took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and under the guidance of Ikenami Shizuka, found the cleaning tools and started working quickly.
Time flies.
After half an hour.
Just when Hoshino Bai Ze was busy and sweating, the student mentioned by Ikenami Shizuka arrived.
As the sound of a car stopping was heard outside the yard, a girl in training clothes slowly walked in.
When Hoshino Bai Ze saw who was coming, he felt that fate was such a wonderful thing.
"Ikenami-sensei, I'm late."
Lai Sheng Lei and Ikebo Shizuka said hello, and then saw Hoshino Bai Ze cleaning the room, and was also quite surprised:
"Hoshino-san, why are you here?"
"Classmate?" Ikebo Shizuka glanced at the two of them and asked, "Xiaolei, are you from the same school as Hoshino-kun?"
"Yes, we are still classmates."
"Oh, that's really a coincidence." Ikeba Shizuka nodded.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Hoshino Bai Ze didn't have as strong a sense of shame as an ordinary high school student. After all, he was an adult in his heart and had nothing to be embarrassed about. He answered generously: "Ms. Ikenami needs a handyman, so I came to apply for the position."
After saying that, he continued to work.
Lai Shenglei exhaled lightly and said to Ikebo Jinghua: "Teacher Ikebo, let's get started."
Ikebo Jinghua handed over a wooden sword and took a starting stance: "Xiaolei, why are you so late today?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ikenami, because my sister was sick yesterday, I stayed with them a little longer today."
"How wonderful! It seems that you will be a good wife and mother in the future."
"Teacher, please stop making fun of me."
While the two were talking, they had already started practicing against each other.
Hoshino Bai Ze was peeking at the side and quickly shook his head. After all, he couldn't learn anything from this kind of direct combat.
But it's normal if you think about it. After all, they have been studying for a long time, so how could they only be able to teach the basics?
Also at this time.
There was another sound from outside the door.
"Yukiko, you are really that slow. Does it take so long to change clothes?"
"Eri, don't blame me. I didn't say anything the last time I waited for you. By the way, you haven't told me why you came here."
"Nothing, actually I just came to collect the rent."
Chapter 0008: Fate, wonderful beyond words
Hoshino Bai Ze stopped what he was doing.
Hearing the familiar name coming from outside the door, he basically knew who the person was, so he looked directly towards the door.
At the same time, Ikeba Shizuka and Rai Sheng Lei also stopped.
Under the gaze of three people.
The first person to come in was Eri Kisaki, wearing the uniform of Dedan High School.
