At this time, Vermouth was sitting on the love sofa, watching the TV opposite calmly.
Hoshino Shirazawa opened his bedroom door, sent Ryoko in and locked her up, then sat down next to her.
Before she could say anything, Vermouth spoke in a calm tone:
"Who is this child?"
"I picked it up on the way back the day before yesterday."
"You picked it up on the road?" Vermouth was amused: "Then go out and pick another one for me."
"You don't believe me?" Hoshino Bai Ze pretended to be disappointed.
Vermouth sneered, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You said you picked it up on the road the day before yesterday, so why didn't you send it to the Metropolitan Police Department? Why did you keep it at home?"
Hoshino Shirazawa knew that his excuse was lame.
But my official identity is an orphan, and now there is a child suddenly appearing in the family, so I can only use this excuse.
Although it is a bit rotten, it is still very versatile. As for whether others believe it or not, it depends on how thorough the deception is.
"Well, that's really the truth. Where else could she have come from if not picked up? Do you think I'm a human trafficker, planning to kidnap children to sell? Or do you think she's my daughter? How old am I? If you subtract her age, I shouldn't be able to have a daughter at that age."
Vermouth frowned in thought.
Hoshino Shirasawa pursues and fights fiercely:
"Ms. Chris, have you ever heard of a saying? When you eliminate all the impossible factors, whatever is left, no matter how unlikely it is, it must be the truth."
"Well, think about it yourself. I'll make a phone call."
Hoshino Bai Ze slipped away at the right time.
He was afraid that if he continued talking, it might have a counterproductive effect.
He came to Vermouth's room, took out her mobile phone, and dialed the number that Lai Shenglei gave him.
Waited for a while.
Jiujuan Zhaoshi's old voice sounded:
"Hello, I'm Sakumaki Akishinoshi, what can I do for you?"
"Director Sakamaki, it's me."
"Xingye, is this the call from Miss Laisheng?"
"Yes."
Hoshino Bai Ze took the mobile phone and walked back to the sofa in the living room and sat down, not shying away from Vermouth:
"Director Sakamaki, Xiaolei told me that you have something to talk to me about? Is the filming delayed?"
"No, no, no, I finished filming yesterday, and I spent another day editing it today. I mainly wanted to ask you, have you written a second script? I'm looking forward to working with you for the second time."
"..."
The corners of Hoshino Shirazawa's mouth twitched, and he said with a fake smile: "I'm sorry, Director Sakamaki. I just wrote the beginning, and I'm still trying to find the feeling. It may take a while."
"It's okay, it's okay. It'll take another month or two for this movie to be released and finished. I have plenty of time, so you can take your time to write. Anyway, let me just say this: whenever you're done, you can call me. You're always welcome here."
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb your rest then."
Hoshino Bai Ze said a few reserved words and hung up the phone directly.
He felt that this old man was really crazy. He was so old, but still working so hard.
Given his situation, making three movies a year would probably be easy for him. It’s scary to think about it.
When watching other directors making movies, some take five or six years, while some take one or two years. To be able to make movies as fast as him, at such an old age, is simply a rare gem.
"What? Are you planning to be a screenwriter in the future?" Vermouth asked calmly.
"It depends. For now, it might be like this for a while. I still have a few good ideas, so I should be able to make some money."
Hoshino Shirasawa has several familiar anime movies, and I think if they were filmed in this world, they would not have any problems adapting to the local environment.
Vermouth did not mention Ryoko's matter anymore. I don't know if it was because she had let it go or she didn't care anymore. Instead, she continued the conversation:
"Let me warn you. Don't think you can rest easy just because you're my subordinate. I can only give you stability for a year or two at most. When that time is up, you'll be recruited by the organization for training."
"Ah? What am I, a subordinate, going to train for?"
"Who said no? At least you have to learn how to use weapons. You may not be proficient in all kinds of firearms, but you must know them."
"It's that simple?"
"Why, you're not even a peripheral member, what kind of special training do you want? Do you want the organization to waste its energy on you? If you want, I can help you change."
"No, I'm just surprised. If you want to learn how to use weapons, I'll accept it."
Hoshino Bai Ze is not opposed to this.
After all, this is a modern world, and you still need to know how to use guns. In the past world, you didn't have the chance to touch a gun, but in this world, you must play with it when you have the chance.
"By the way, can you please do me a favor?" Hoshino Bai Ze thought of another thing.
"What's the deal?"
"That child has no identity. Can you help her get one?"
"name."
"Ryoko, Hoshino Ryoko."
"Ryoko? Are you sure?"
"Ah."
"Okay." Vermouth looked at him deeply. She knew that this girl's matter was definitely not that simple, but it was just like what Hoshino Bai Ze said just now.
Eliminate all impossibilities, and whatever remains, no matter how outrageous, can only be the answer.
She hasn't thought of any other possibilities yet, so for now she can only believe Hoshino Bai Ze's nonsense.
From beginning to end.
Vermouth didn't even think of the child as a cat, and thought that the same name was given to the child out of love.
After all, she knew that Hoshino Shirazawa loved the cat named "Ryoko" very much, just like he doted on her as his own daughter.
Giving the same name to a child she likes may seem strange, but it is still understandable, otherwise she would not have thought of other reasons.
Chapter 0066: Conflict with Maori, Eri Kisaki eavesdrops
early morning.
In the bedroom.
When Hoshino Bai Ze was half asleep and half awake, he always felt that there was a small black shadow staring at him.
Unaccustomed to it, he shook off his sleepiness, opened his eyes with great effort, and finally saw everything clearly in front of him.
Next to the pillow.
The tabby cat sat there, with its tail wrapped around its little feet, staring with its bright big eyes without blinking.
If an ordinary person saw such a scene upon waking up, he would definitely be shocked.
But he's used to it.
"..."
Hoshino Bai Ze smiled helplessly. This little guy liked it this way before, and now that he has become a human, he still likes it this way. I really don’t know what to say.
He scratched his hair, slowly sat up from the bed, stretched his body, yawned and asked:
"Why did Ryoko turn into a cat again?"
"Ryoko is a cat."
"Uh... yes. I mean, isn't it good to keep a human body?"
"Well……"
The tabby cat tilted its head, thought for a moment and answered: "It's more comfortable to sleep this way."
“I feel comfortable.”
"The cat is comfortable."
"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you."
Hoshino Bai Ze would not argue with an ignorant little kitten, otherwise if he couldn't win the argument, he would definitely say his catchphrase "You are not smart".
I glanced at the weather outside the window and thought it was still early.
Think of this.
I felt a sense of loss.
After all, he wanted to have a good time with Vermouth last night, but that damn mobile phone suddenly called him, and Vermouth left without looking back.
He didn't even get a kiss, it was so miserable.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it, looked at the tabby cat and asked:
"Are you hungry, Ryoko?"
"hungry."
"Okay, I'll go prepare breakfast. Remember, turn into a human."
"understood."
"Can you wear clothes now?"
"Ryoko already knew how to do it."
"Yes, yes, Ryoko is smart."
Hear the words.
She raised her head proudly, stood up and jumped off the bed, and turned into a fair and tender little loli.
"..."
Hoshino Bai Ze's expression darkened and he quickly left the bedroom, leaving the little guy to fend for himself.
time flies.
Breakfast is ready.
He told the little guy not to run around and to watch TV at home when he had nothing to do. He said a lot of things, even telling him not to open the door to strangers. When he felt there was nothing more to say, he went to school with peace of mind.
Of course, lunch was prepared in advance so Ryoko wouldn't go hungry.
………………
………………
Didan High School.
As soon as Hoshino Bai Ze entered the school, he found that the atmosphere was a little strange.
The boys and girls passing by looked at him strangely. When he looked over, they quickly lowered their heads and walked away like frightened rabbits.
"what's the situation?"
He raised his eyebrows, feeling that things were a little complicated, but after thinking about it a little, he probably understood what was going on.
It must be those guys I taught a lesson yesterday who spread my bad reputation in the school.
After all, Teitan High School has always been a very good school.
In the original work, even the seemingly unreliable Kogoro Mouri graduated from this school and was admitted to Beika University.
Even the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, Suzuki Sonoko, studied in this school, so you know that this is not an ordinary school.
Generally speaking, in good schools, everyone studies seriously, bullying rarely occurs, and there are very few bad boys.
Maybe his behavior yesterday made these students feel uncomfortable and dangerous, so they instinctively rejected him.
That's why everyone is like this today, just to vent their dissatisfaction and avoid becoming the next one to be beaten.
"Haha, this is interesting."
