The next day.

At the airport, "Kuroba Kuriyasu" got off the plane and met "Yuko Sora", and the two exchanged identities and led the magic troupe to Beika Town together. After settling in the apartment next to the performance venue that "Yuko Sora" had arranged in advance, everyone in the troupe dispersed to rest.

After Kuroba Kuriyasu and Sora Yuko went to pay tribute to Sora Kaoru together and exchanged views on what had happened in the past few days, the two went their separate ways, and Sora Yuko went home without mentioning the matter.

Kuroba Kuriyasu did not return to Ekoda immediately, but moved to Beika-cho 2-chome.

The main reason she came today was to take a look at the apartment she would soon live in at 2-23, Beika-cho - Muma-sou, and to visit Dr. Agasa, the stable maker of her magic props.

Before meeting Kaito yesterday, Kurian came here when he was looking for an apartment for the magic group to stay in temporarily. Coincidentally, the owner of this apartment wanted to sell it. So Kurian used the image of "Yuuko Kuroki" to book this apartment for himself from Mr. Sugiura [1], the owner of the Muba-sho, at a suitable price.

Mr. Sugiura has been having a headache recently. In order to get rid of a person, he actually wanted to sell this place and move to another place a long time ago, but this place is a bit old and not big, so it is difficult to sell.

He was already very satisfied to have a buyer willing to buy the apartment at this price.

After learning about the arrangements of their magic troupe, Mr. Sugiura decided to sign the transfer agreement today.

He and Li An agreed that they would find a new place to live as soon as possible within a few days after celebrating their son's birthday and then move out with their family.

It happens to be the birthday of Mr. Sugiura's son Kaito Sugiura (Class A, Grade 1, Beihua Primary School) today, and he invited some friends over, but since they are still children, he can't let them stay until late.

When Li An arrived here, the orange-red sun had just passed over the top of the mountain, and several children were waving goodbye to Kairen.

Li An recognized three of them at a glance, they were too conspicuous: a cute girl with a headband, a boy with freckles, and a fat boy.

She vaguely remembered that in the plot, Kaito Sugiura and the three children were not in the same class and were not familiar with each other, but here—

It's not uncommon for children to play together.

“I’m so happy today!”

"It's a great place here, but it's a pity that the owner is moving away."

“I want to invite everyone to my birthday, too!”

"Ayumi, I will definitely go there that day!"

Several children were chattering and preparing to leave. As Sugiura Kaito was saying goodbye to them, he saw Kuroba Kuriyasu and said, "It's the sister on TV!"

So the children stopped and looked at Li An curiously.

They watched as the older sister walked to the door of Sugiura's house, looked at the house number, and then gently asked Kaito, "Little boy, is Mr. Sugiura here?"

When Sugiura Kaito went to call his father, Li An and several other children greeted him, "Hello, are you Sugiura's friends? Did he invite you to come over and play?"

"Hello sister!"

"We are friends of Kairen, and we are here today to attend his birthday party."

"My name is Ayumi Yoshida!" "My name is Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya." "My name is Genta Kojima." "My name is..."

Kuroba Kurian introduced himself to the children with a smile, touched little Ayumi's head, and when he raised his hand, a few more candies appeared in his hand.

"Ayumi, you're as sweet as candy~"

Li An took one and put it in his mouth before passing the rest to the children.

When Mitsuhiko saw Li An eating the candy, he took the candy with the other children and put his candy away. Yuan Tai had already peeled off the candy wrapper, but after seeing Mitsuhiko doing this, he paused and put the candy away with the other children.

Mitsuhiko asked: "Is your sister a magician? The one on TV recently—"

Kuroba Kurian just smiled at their actions, and then she put her hands together, and her own piece of candy wrapper disappeared. Then a little white appeared in her hand. She opened her hands, and a dove flew out. After circling in the sky twice, it landed on her shoulder. She touched its wings and said with a smile, "It's [Bu Ye Hou]. Do you want to see the magic show?"

After the pigeon turned its head to comb its wings, it turned its head this way and that, its silver-white eyes moving, looking very clever.

At this time, Sugiura Kaito had just pulled his father out. Seeing the sister performing magic, the child let go of his father's hand and ran over cheering. "Sister! Perform a magic trick for me too!"

The white dove flapped its wings once, then twice, and then stopped moving.

A stranger is coming over, and another person hasn't come over yet, so there's no danger.

Li An tilted her head slightly and saw a strange figure out of the corner of her eye, but she ignored it.

The strange figure came straight towards this side.

When Mr. Sugiura saw this person, his face looked a little bad.

"Uncle - I'm here to..." The man came over, was stunned when he saw Li An, and smiled frivolously, "This is -"

"Ichiro, you--" Mr. Sugiura's face darkened.

……

Mr. Sugiura apologized for a long time on behalf of Ichiro Sugiura, whom he had driven away.

"He was in the magic club in college, so he might have been a little too enthusiastic to see you."

"Not in the way."

Kuroba Kuriyasu gave the children several tickets to the magic show and invited them to the show. After signing the contract with Mr. Sugiura and giving them the tickets, he left Trojan Manor.

She bought this place in advance because it was close to Dr. Agasa's house, but it also helped the Sugiura family avoid disaster, after all, this place was burned down later.

As for the subsequent tenants, please find another place.

……

As Li An left, the pigeon on her shoulder kept flapping its wings. Li An nodded to the pigeon and turned into the alley.
