There is a price, of course.

Under the same sky, the weather in Tokyo is actually not much different from that in Kanagawa.

The sun is scorching outside the window, and even the occasional wind is full of heat.

Just when Sanada Yuki was crying as if she felt the same thing, Karasuma Sonobu was curled up in the corner of the bedroom, trembling uncontrollably.

As the pain gradually slowed down, a bone-chilling chill quickly spread from the seams in his bones to his whole body. Karasuma Sonobu's eyes glanced at the small video recorder beside him, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

Half an hour later, Karasuma Sonobu climbed up from the floor as if he had just been fished out of the water, and walked slowly to the bathroom.

On the way, he also picked up the video recorder that he had thrown aside casually before.

A few minutes later, Karasuma Sonobu, who took a shower and changed his clothes, looked at himself in the bathroom mirror and gave a sarcastic sneer.

Now, am I considered a human being or a monster?

The changes that had been subtle before, under the influence of the two latest injections today, reached a qualitative change that Karasuma Sonobu finally noticed.

The housekeeper Karasuma, who was counting the time in the living room, looked at Karasuma Sonobu who finally opened the bedroom door and walked out. His eyes glanced at the end of the half-wet hair, and then he reached out and took the memory card handed over by Karasuma Sonobu.

He glanced at the blood collection equipment lined up on the coffee table in the living room.

Karasuma Sonobu sat on the sofa, rolled up the cuff of his right hand to his upper arm, and then rested it on the armrest of the sofa.

After the blood collection was completed, Butler Karaoma didn't stay long.

Watching Karasuma Butler leave, Karasuma Sonobu threw the hemostatic cotton ball into the trash can aside, and then picked up the USB flash drive left by Karasuma Butler.

After looking at it twice, he did not choose to check the contents immediately. Instead, he went back to the bedroom to put his laptop and some odds and ends into his backpack, and then left the safe house.

And on the other side,

Belmode looked at the photo in his hand, his eyes moving across the handful of sunflowers held by Yuki Sanada in the photo, and he was very puzzled.

At this time, when Whiskey wasn't busy looking for inducements and trying to scare the restless members of the organization, how could he still have the heart to send flowers to his mother?

Was it because he was confident, or was it because the blood relationship between mother and son seemed to Whiskey to be more powerful than the upcoming storm.

There are many people staring at Yuki Sanada nowadays.

Whiskey's move will surely reach the ears of Rum and that gentleman soon. Why did he do this?

Why did you choose this time?

And... why should I ask her to meet.

While he was thinking about it, the wind chime hanging on the door of the restaurant made a crisp sound as the door was pushed open. Belmod looked up and saw Karasuma Sonobu, who was dressed casually, walked in under the guidance of the waiter.

Putting his backpack aside, Karasuma Sonobu took off his hat, and then ordered a cup of coffee to the waiter who was waiting for his order.

Although dressed casually, Karasuma Sonobu was dressed in black, and the only bright color from head to toe was the ruby ​​earring on their left ear.

Out of the professional habits of a popular movie star, Belmod looked at the ruby ​​earrings twice, but didn't pay much attention to them.

Passing the photo in his hand, Bermod stirred the cup of coffee in front of him. He did not speak, but quietly observed Karasuma Sonobu's expression.

With cool fingertips caressing Sanada Yuki's face in the photo, Karasuma Sonobu looked at his mother who was not much different in the photo than in his memory.

Even in front of Belmode, the expression on his face softened without concealment.

It wasn't until the waiter came over with a cup of coffee that Karasuma Sonobu put the photo into his backpack, and then suppressed the tenderness in his eyes.

"You asked me to meet you specifically, probably not just for this photo."

Belmod opened his mouth to test with interest. Karasuma Sonobu took a sip of coffee and replied calmly:

"Then you guessed wrong, I came here just for this photo."

"Oh, I heard that the guy from the country couldn't help but take action. The next situation will definitely be very lively. Do you really not want to consider participating?"

Seeing that Karasuma Sonobu would not accept the move, Belmode moved out of Rum.

"I never like to join in the fun. If you like it, you can join in the fun yourself."

Karasuma Sonobu didn't even raise his eyelids and spoke quite calmly.

Belmod, who received an order from Karasuma Renye last night to stop immediately and not allow her to participate in this matter anymore, felt more and more that there was something wrong with it.

"I'd better forget it. I've been busy lately and don't have time to join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, Karasuma Sonobu guessed that Belmode's peace must be the instruction from Karasuma Renye.

"That's a bit of a pity."

Belmod still had a smile on his face, but the eyes behind his sunglasses darkened a bit following Karasuma Sonobu's words.

He picked up the coffee again and took a sip. Karasuma Sonobu, who had achieved the purpose of meeting, was not interested in continuing to chat with Belmode.

He made a random excuse, got up and left.

Bermod, who saw some clues from Karasuma Sonobu's words, keenly sensed a crisis.

Then, she suddenly reacted.

Whiskey won't come off the field personally to join in the fun, but that doesn't mean he won't take charge of the game from the sidelines.

Thinking about the order she received last night, Belmode was immediately worried about her two beloved angels.

After spending a few seconds thinking about it, she felt that it was necessary to remind her.

Especially the little detective whose curiosity is even stronger than that of a cat. His eyes light up when he sees clues about the organization, and he rushes in regardless.

However, Belmod, who left in a hurry, did not notice that Karasuma Sonobu did not leave immediately after walking out of the restaurant.

Karasuma Sonobu, who was sitting in the car, looked at the direction in which Bermod left and raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

So impatient?

It seemed that those two people were much more important in Belmod's heart than he thought.

Then, let me see how far you will go for your angel.

Belmode.

"Ding ~"

The familiar email alert sounded. Karasuma Sonobu took out his phone and clicked on it. There was only a short sentence on it.

Everything is ready.

At the corner of the street, the bright sunshine shines evenly on a cool-looking black sports car. The gold-plated luxury car logo always makes people passing by take a look.

Mao Lilan, who was dragged out for shopping by her best friend Suzuki Sonoko, initially just glanced at it casually, but then she noticed the hair color of the young man sitting in the car, which was extremely eye-catching in the sun.

Suzuki Sonoko held a parasol in one hand and ice cream in the other and ate it one bite at a time.

She also noticed this scene and decided to say hello after thinking for less than a second.

Sera Masumi, who was being sent away by her mother, immediately changed her expression. She quickly blindly sent a message, and then followed suit with a natural expression.

After greeting Karasuma Sonobu very smoothly, Suzuki Sonoko began to introduce the two little sisters next to her:

"This is Mao Lilan, the little boy who grew up with me. This is Sera Masumi, my good friend and my classmate..."

Speaking of her two good friends, Suzuki Sonoko became very talkative, piling up many gorgeous words on the two of them, and also recounted many deeds.

Hearing this, Mao Lilan blushed and quickly stopped Suzuki Sonoko from continuing.

"Sonoko, you are getting more and more exaggerated as you talk. If you keep talking, your ice cream will almost finish melting."

"Eh?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who originally wanted to refute, heard the second half of what her friend Xiaolan said. She looked down and saw that her ice cream was softening.

He immediately ignored the rebuttal and concentrated on the huge ice cream in his hand.

Without Suzuki Sonoko's voice, the remaining Mao Lilan and Sera Masumi couldn't help but become more and more nervous when faced with this momentary quiet scene.

Among them, Sera Masumi was even worse. Although his face was trying to remain calm, his forehead was so nervous that he was sweating, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Fortunately, it was summer, so a few people were still standing under the scorching sun.

Faced with Karasuma Sonobu's inquiry, Sera Masumi used the hot weather as an excuse to brush it off.

From the moment Suzuki Sonoko started introducing her, and when she noticed Karasuma Sonobu's eyes sweeping over her, Sera Masumi had been in a state of nervous tension.

Even though the gaze that Karasuma Sonobu glanced over didn't have any inquiring meaning, it was just a casual look.

But Sera Masumi, who knew the meaning behind whiskey, still couldn't be calm.

She had already sent the news of meeting Whiskey here to her mother Akai Mari and eldest brother Akai Shuichi.

In the current situation, the person in front of him is undoubtedly a very critical existence.

When it comes to inducers, all of them agree that Whiskey must not be able to sit idly by. The lack of movement at this moment can only show that Whiskey has a big plan behind this time.

Most likely, he was secretly planning some big move.

I was lucky enough to meet him this time, who knows what will happen next time.

She also knew that now she should try her best to delay the situation and give her mother and eldest brother enough time to react.

However, the plan was quite good. During the chat with Karasuma Sonobu who was very cooperative for some reason, Sera Masumi had a hard time keeping his face calm and natural.

The one who performed the best among the three had to be Suzuki Sonoko.

After finishing the ice cream in his hands in a few mouthfuls, Suzuki Sonoko, who was quite good-looking, noticed that Karasuma Sonobu was so talkative at the moment, and immediately made an invitation for afternoon tea.

Karasuma Sonobu thought for a while and came up with a restaurant name:

“How about gold seashells?”

It was a bustling afternoon tea restaurant, not far from here, in a bustling shopping mall owned by the Karasuma Consortium.

When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she responded happily:

"Then let's borrow Karasuma-kun's light."

She has been interested in that restaurant for a long time, but the business of Golden Shell is really good, so if she wants to enjoy the exclusive chef service of that restaurant, she can only rely on reservation and luck.

Make a reservation with the chef to cook in person and wait and see what meals the chef will serve them.

But now, Suzuki Sonoko, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at Karasuma Sonobu in the driver's seat in front of him, thinking that he would be able to enjoy the highest standard of treatment this time.

Mao Lilan and Sera Masumi, who were confused and squeezed into the back seat with Suzuki Sonoko, looked at each other, feeling confused that things had developed to this point.

No, why are we going to have afternoon tea together?

The originally lowered car window slowly rose, and with the pressing of the start button, the engine of a top-class sports car roared, and the flamboyant leaving gesture attracted the attention of countless people.

the other side,

While driving on the road, Akai Marie, who received the second message, was silent for a long time. Looking at her eldest son driving and the excited Conan and others, an untimely thought came to her mind:

Seriang's cell phone couldn't have been stolen.

In a daze, Sera Masumi, who had already enjoyed afternoon tea, did not expect that his mother, Ms. Mary's thinking, had developed to a new level.

Just as Suzuki Sonoko expected, facing the arrival of Karasuma Sonobu, the Golden Shell Restaurant provided the highest level of hospitality.

The chef's restrictions have become casual orders, and the restaurant's original dining rules have also given way to power.

The person in charge of the restaurant wanted to personally serve Karasuma Sonobu tea and water, and the person in charge of the shopping mall was even lingering outside the restaurant, hoping that after the meal, Karasuma Sonobu would be able to meet him and say hello, and be satisfied.

In the private room, plates of exquisite meals were served.

While enjoying the delicious afternoon tea, Suzuki Sonoko commented on the chef's craftsmanship.

From time to time there was a little chatting and anecdotes, and with the cooperation of Karasuma Sonobu, the conversation was quite pleasant.

Suzuki Sonoko felt that the heir to the Karasuma Consortium had really grasped the scale of this conversation quite well.

This comfortable feeling is really rare, and it doesn't make her feel even the slightest bit intentional.

Seeing the words and deeds displayed by Karasuma Sonobu, feeling the thoughtfulness behind that cold face, Sera Masumi, who was not left out in the slightest, gradually relaxed, and at the same time, a thought quietly came to his mind:

Is this person really the whiskey that Big Brother and the others are so afraid of?

Isn't that wrong?

Mao Lilan, who felt the same way, was also a little shaken, but thinking about what Conan and the others told her and the information they knew, she calmed down immediately.

Outside the mall, a temporary cooperation was once again reached. Through Hanano Rina's hacking skills and the restaurant surveillance, Akai Mari's face turned dark when she saw this scene of harmonious coexistence.

From Sera Masumi's meal, she could see that her daughter was in a very relaxed state at the moment.

Conan stared at Karasuma Sonobu's every move without blinking. He did not feel that Karasuma Sonobu's move at this time had no purpose.

However, until Karasuma Sonobu and Suzuki Sonoko finished their afternoon tea and walked out of the Golden Shell Restaurant, Conan and the others did not notice anything unusual.

It seems that all this happened because of a chance encounter, and in order to maintain his current identity, Karasuma Sonobu agreed to Suzuki Sonoko's invitation.

In the elevator, Suzuki Sonoko was filled with joy after enjoying a delicious afternoon tea.

Karasuma Sonobu, who was standing quietly in the corner, glanced condescendingly through the glass of the sightseeing elevator at the red Chevrolet parked not far from his car, and the black off-road vehicle further away.

Then he casually withdrew his gaze.

Agasa House, Miwa Town,

Dr. A Li was a little surprised when he saw Haihara Ai walking in from the door with a tightly wrapped cardboard box in his hand.

However, after thinking about Haihara Ai's personality of liking shopping, she didn't take it to heart much.
