As the closing time approached, Jia Liang left the empty store and went to the kitchen to deal with the huge squid that the owner of the fish shop brought in this morning.

"Squid is delicious~ It's not the peak season, and I don't know where the boss got it."

The outer skin was torn off, the internal organs were removed, and the phone rang.

Jialiang pressed the answer button without thinking much, clamped the phone between his ears and shoulders, and freed his hands to handle the squid.

"Hello, Gu Chuan's family."

After a few hisses of poor signal came from the opposite side, a voice almost sent Jialiang to the sky.

"Jialiang! Are you okay!"

Jia Liang, who was fine at first, was so frightened that he cut his finger with a knife.

"...Well, I'm fine, Phil."

Jialiang put his fingers in his mouth and turned the squid over.

It had been several months since Phil had been missing, and it was unusual to call her suddenly today.

"I heard that the magic side caused an explosion in Shibuya, and now that Tokyo is in chaos, my house will soon be—"

"But I'm in Gifu now."

Jia Liang paused and continued.

"I can't help you keep Ray Cartis' big gold man."

It wasn't an illusion, there was a clear "cut" from the other side of the phone.But with Phil's temperament, she should be angry that "A mere Jialiang can guess what I want to say".

"What happened in Shibuya? Why did the magic side target there? Isn't the whole of Tokyo under Academy City's eyelids?"

Add cooking wine and white pepper to marinate the squid, and Jialiang starts to process the filling.Mince carrots, cucumbers, green onions and ginger, add them to the pork stuffing, add salt, cooking wine and a little sugar, and stir in one direction with chopsticks.

"It's probably for the book of fantasy. It's really troublesome. One or two are all over their heads for the book of magic, but the book of magic doesn't want to choose any of them at all."

Across the radio waves, Phil's eyes dimmed in a place where Jia Liang couldn't see.

She sneaked into the campus city and has been investigating the whereabouts of the phantom book for the past few months.Judging from the attitude of the science side towards her, they don't know or believe the rumor that gray wolves can read phantom books, so they should have prepared corresponding readers.

In fact, the findings point to that being the case.They are making No.5 of the seven level 3, a clone of Misaka Mikoto.Some of the defective bodies were used for other top-secret experiments, and some were used for experiments in reading phantom books.

Although this approach is very inhumane, Phil is still very curious about the results of the experiment, it would be best to use Misaka himself for the experiment...

"But it doesn't seem to be a big event. Nothing was written on the news."

"That's because the first batch of reporters who rushed to the scene were all in chaos. It was a magic that must never be spoken, so I don't know the real name, so it will still be treated as an explosion in the future."

"Isn't Phil in Tokyo?"

Knowing what happened in Shibuya so well, she should have something to do with the explosion.

"Me? I... I'm in Tokyo, maybe, but I can't go out."

Phil didn't bother to explain to Jialiang that she wanted to escape from the science side and the magic side at first, but sneaked into Academy City because of the "Pandora" adventure mentioned by Kidd.

If she guessed correctly, after the supernatural war, Pandora should have fallen into the hands of science, and Kazuharu Hasegawa was in charge of researching it.Later, because of selfishness or other reasons, he knocked off a piece and hid it in Jialiang's body.

That obviously abnormal and special appearance is the proof of being influenced by Pandora for a long time, or being accepted by it.

"Anyway, it's good that you're fine, have you found what you want in Gifu?"

She changed the subject calmly, staring at the document in her hand.

As a result of hacking into the database, Hasegawa's information was in her hands.

Something that proves Pandora exists.

Phil's gaze was fixed on the date of birth and death. It was indeed written there, born in March, Meiji 41.

"I found it."

"That's it, don't give up, one day it will——you found it?"

Paper documents are scattered.

"Well, my family's shop has opened again. Everyone likes my cooking, and the business on the pedestrian street is showing signs of improvement!"

fair enough.Whether it is Tokyo or Yokohama, there is no peace because of the phantom book. It is safer to stay in the country with her temperament that will automatically get involved in trouble-but is this really good?

She knew that Jialiang had stepped into the other side, and it was impossible to escape this fate.

“…it’s great to be able to live the life you want.”

In my impression, Phil would never speak like this, so she sensed something was slightly wrong.

"Phil?"

When there was silence on the other side of the phone, someone entered the store.A bell on the door jingled, waking them both.

"I still have something to do, let's talk about it next time."

She actually wanted to say, don't run away from your own destiny.Of course, even if she escapes, it's useless, she has already met Huang Batu.

Sooner or later, Jia Liang will be pulled into the planning of Yokohama's book, she doesn't need to worry, everything is running normally...

"Hi, what would you like to order?"

Although it is about to close, as long as it is not closed, guests must be received.Her family's shop has always been like this. Sometimes when the shop closes, it still takes in some travelers.

The fairy pot is probably filled with love.

"Income Tax."

The woman who came in had blond hair, spoke fluent English, and was a foreigner from head to toe.

Jialiang has mastered English to the level of dealing with foreigners, but...

"Sorry, this shop is not a bar."

The blond took off her glasses, pulled up the nearest chair and sat down.

"How do you know I can speak Japanese?"

"Because normal foreigners won't look at this kind of shop door decorated with oriental characteristics and come in and order cocktails."

IncomeTax, translated as income tax, is gin and absinthe, and it is a cocktail made of two kinds of absinthe.

"That's right. Anything is fine, as long as it fills your stomach."

Jialiang nodded to express his understanding, and went back to the kitchen to deal with the squid.Stuff the stuffing into the squid, put it in her small oven that can only be grilled briefly, and the aroma will come out after a while.

Scotland, who was attracted by the scent, poked his head out of the living room, and the other five were lucky enough to witness the scene where he was so frightened that he flew up.

Bei... Beibei Bei Belmode?Why is she here?

Scotland's appearance that he was about to ascend to heaven caused Jialiang's kitchen knife to cut his finger again.

"What's wrong with you, Su..."

Can't call his name in this place!

It was too late and then too soon, Levi flew up and blocked Jialiang's mouth.

"Huh? Levi, why don't you..."

Scotland folded his forelimbs and raised them to his mouth. Jialiang finally got to his subtle point, squatted down and had a one-sided conversation with him in a low voice.

"What's the matter, is there anything that the guests outside can't hear?"

Scotland was almost moved to tears.Finally, finally!Jialiang and his train of thought went together!

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow, meow meow."

...It's a pity that she still can't understand.

"The customers outside... Speaking of which, what she ordered just now was income tax."

Because he also used gin, which is difficult to get through in Scotland, Jia Liang understood his meaning smoothly this time.

That golden cherry blossom is the symbol of the police.Combined with his acquaintance with the police in Nagano, Scotland himself should be a policeman.The police who have a close relationship with the winery are probably undercover agents just like those shown on TV.

The foreign woman outside should be from the winery.

"However, I have no personal grievances with that side, so the food should be served."

The oven makes a "ding" sound.Jia Liang took out the tray inside, picked up a kitchen knife and cut it into several sections, and selected the best roasted part to send to Belmode.

Scotland stayed put.He remembered that before his death, the distillery was already fighting with Hong Kong and Hei. Gin, the main battle, would never let this chance of meritorious deeds go, and Jialiang actually said that there was no personal grudge between them?

Did the situation in Japan change so badly while he was away?

Da Zai looked at Bai Lan and snatched the portion on his plate.

After all, it was Mirufiore's fault.

"I've been waiting for a long time, this is grilled stuffed squid."

Although there is no grievance, why do people from the winery appear in such a small place?

Jialiang gripped the P228 in his jacket tightly, but Belmode had already seen through this.

After all, she is completely a layman, and she will not be able to deal with a professional.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just here for a meal, I won't do anything."

Belmode was thinking that Jia Liang thought she was some dangerous person pretending to be star Chris Binyard.However, she is indeed the real person, which is more troublesome to explain, if it is fake, it will be fake.

As long as she doesn't act threatening, she probably won't make a move.

"I... are you here to travel?"

In previous years, during the tourist season, there were also examples of going to Hida and living in Takayama City. In recent years, it seems that traveling alone has become popular.

But a foreign woman coming out alone is indeed very suspicious.

But Itachi and Kamui didn't respond, at least not in a situation where a circle of people were surrounded by this woman as a bait.

"It's a business trip. There is something wrong with the warehouse here, and the boss asked me to check it out."

This is the truth.A few days ago, the holmium bomb storage warehouse of the winery was attacked by someone. It is said that they could not see the figure at all, but they should still be injured, and they should not disturb them again in the near future.

Belmode wanted to laugh when he heard that.Humans have to be at a high speed to not be able to see the figure clearly, and Yokohama hasn't moved much recently, maybe they saw something inhuman.

"This dish is delicious. It's Chinese food."

Pretty good workmanship, why stay in such a small place?

"Yes, although it's not our signature dish, it's just our dinner."

us.According to the size of this piece of squid, there are probably two or three other people—of course, this may just be the illusion that Jialiang showed her. Judging from the subtle scratches on the corner of the table, at least she is raising cats.

It doesn't matter, there is no shortage of smart women in the world.

"Since there is such a craftsmanship, why not go to Tokyo. If you open a shop there, it will widen your horizons compared to the countryside where tourists can't see it."

...That's right, no matter how satisfied she is with her current life, it's only a temporary business, and she always wants to go back to Tokyo.

Even if she returned to Japan, she and Zhong still lived a life of getting together less and more, at least wanting to finalize the relationship between the two as soon as possible-that's why they went back to their hometown.

Here, she must be able to get back her lost half body, and then she - must be able to tell him what she did back then.

The mafia does not harm women, children, old or young.

She is an existence darker than the mafia.

"You're right, Tokyo is a great place."

Jia Liang smiled back.
