Miss Naoko is always at the Shura Field

The endless, vast, broad sea.

The sea is calm, and the blue mirror surface is rippling, like crumpled blue Qinghai wave weave.

The setting sun was floating in the sky, looking like it was about to set, like a flame bird, with red blood flowing from its body into the sea.In the distant sea floats the cold blood of the setting sun.

"The dinner party was held to celebrate the birthday of the adopted daughter of the Martigio family. Although she is only an adopted daughter, she also has the right to inherit the Baccano Group."

The BACCANO Group is a large-scale force headquartered in Europe that started as a mafia, and is jointly led by the Malticcio and Gandall families.

This group rose in the 30s and has grown into a behemoth that has shocked Europe.The two families have strong control over the members of the family, and they always maintain a certain number. The internal rules of the group are strict, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to join them.

On the wide deck, a lady wearing a gorgeous and delicate gown with a small parasol was talking with a man in a suit and vest.

"What's more, she's Japanese," said the lady again. "It is said that they are Chinese (1) who were exiled to Europe during World War II."

The man raised his eyebrows, smiled and said to his wife: "The Chinese, it's a thing of the past."

"Who says it's not." The lady said, moved the umbrella, and coughed softly, clearly to draw people's attention to her next words: "But some people don't think so, as long as they marry such a little girl ..."

Madam's words have a greasy feeling of cold soup and cold rice, obviously implying that the man acted like this, but he put on a noble look.

However, such words still made the man a little jealous.

"Okay," Madam Lizhi patted the man on the shoulder with his body slightly tilted because of the conversation, "We should go down."

The two walked down together and entered the banquet hall through the cabin.

The Beagle takes its name from Charles Darwin, who discovered the theory of evolution on a voyage around the world aboard the HMS Beagle between 1831 and 1836. (2)

The Beagle of the BACCANO Group is much larger than the original Beagle, with a displacement of 116000 tons. It is one of the fifteen largest luxury cruise ships in the world. (3)

The banquet hall is brightly lit, the crystal chandelier in the middle of the ceiling is shining, and there are many waiters in tuxedos carrying wine plates between the wine tables.

Men and women sat on the seats, and the delicious food on the table was dazzling. For a while, the soft music was floating in the hall.

Ronnie Squiat, the cadre of the Malticio family sitting at the main table, tapped the wine glass and drew everyone's attention to him: "Sirs and ladies, today is the birthday of the direct son of our Malticio family." Tenth birthday, everyone is welcome to attend this banquet, let's invite our little princess to enter."

Everyone followed Ronnie's gaze, and a girl with black hair, black eyes and delicate face in a white lace princess dress slowly stepped into the room under the lead of Filo Prosianzo, another cadre of Martigio's family. After leaving the banquet hall, he walked to the main seat.

The girl has an obvious oriental face, her eyes are black and big, and her dark pupils have a sense of melancholy that the West imagines for oriental women. She has fair skin, bright red lips, and an emerald necklace around her neck. Oriental elegance.

"That's the adopted daughter of Maltico's family?" The man frowned and murmured, "So young..."

It turned out that no one knew the age of Malticcio's adopted daughter.

"The one on the girl's right is Meza Avalo, the current head of the Malticio family." On the other side, Atobe said to his son while cutting the steak with a knife.

Keigo Atobe's dining etiquette was perfect, and his father's words fell into his ears verbatim.At only ten years old, he already knew the rules of acting as the heir of the Atobe Foundation.

Mastering the information of each family is his daily learning content.

"Ronnie Squiat on the right is in charge of the family's internal affairs, and the one with the girl is Philo Procienzo, who is in charge of the family's external affairs."

After dinner, the ladies went into the dressing room, while the men stayed in the ballroom to continue chatting.

As the director of a large consortium in Japan, Masaichi Atobe has the capital to talk side by side with the head of the Malticcio family.

"Should Ling'ai go back to Japan to live for a while, or..."

"Naoko will stay in Japan until she comes of age," said Meza Avalo, a man of gentlemanly demeanor, who was also very polite to Atobe.

"Which school will your daughter attend?" Atobe Shoichi asked again, "Inuzi will return to Japan in a few years, and will study at Hyotei Gakuen."

"Hyodi Gakuen is a good international school," Meza said, "However, Naoko has already enrolled in another school under the arrangement of her family."

"That's it, that's a pity." Atobe Masaichi said, thinking that the Malticcio family still wanted to keep their adopted daughter's whereabouts a secret.

"I heard that your son is the same age as Naoko." Maiza said, he paused, and said sincerely: "Zozi has been unhappy because he has to leave the family temporarily, can you ask your son to accompany Zhizi?"

"Of course, Jingwu has no friends on the boat. He will be very happy to find a companion."

The night was dark, and the sea was full of storms, but the moon and stars in the sky were clearly visible, emitting a chilling light.After a while, snow began to fall, and the fragments of the falling snow disappeared into the cold sea water again.

"My name is Keigo Atobe." Keigo Atobe said, and he was taken to the girl's room.

The girl's room is decorated in Rococo style, with delicate and delicate lines unfolding in the room, and the inner walls are decorated with mirrors and wooden panels, whether it is the mirror skeleton, or the moldings and carvings of the panels are all ferns.The small decorative paintings on the wall are also nature-themed. In addition, there are porcelains and screens from China. In order to contrast with the wall decorations, the furniture and fabrics are selected in elegant and gorgeous dark green tones, and the arrangement is like a magnificent dream. (4)

Well, it's still gorgeous, Atobe Keigo thought.

However, such a semi-mandatory friendship still makes him a little uncomfortable.

"My name is Naoko Tsukimi." The girl said, her voice was soft and sweet, she lowered her head slightly, as if she was in a bad mood.Her satiny black hair made her look docile.

Atobe wanted to stroke her hair, but held back.

There were only the two of them in the room, and Keigo Atobe looked at the girl who was silent, so he had to find some topics by himself: "Why are you upset?"

Straight to the point, it is indeed his style.

The girl's eyes were filled with sorrow, and she replied: "Because I don't want to be separated from my parents and uncles."

"You can still make video calls with them when you return to Japan, and you can fly directly to Europe if you miss them." The technology is so advanced that traveling between the two continents is not troublesome.

The girl shook her head, "It's not like that."

If someone else said this, Keigo Atobe would feel impatient even if he didn't show it, but the girl's faint melancholy made Keigo Atobe slowly calm down.

"Then talk about something happy." Keigo Atobe said again, "What do you like?"

"Me?" The girl tilted her head, thought for a while, and said seriously, "I like painting and literature."

"Well, not bad." Keigo Atobe said encouragingly, "I am also very interested in literature, especially Shakespeare's plays. Of course, I also have a lot of knowledge in fencing..."

Keigo Atobe talked eloquently, and when he saw the girl's shining eyes full of admiration, he continued with more satisfaction: "Of course, my favorite is tennis. I am a very strong tennis player."

"Ah, this is so good." The girl's eyes seemed to be shining, making Atobe feel stupefied.

The next day, the Beagle ran aground on Japan's Izu Peninsula.

There was a clean chill in the morning air, and the Izu Peninsula was almost completely covered in snow, making it look like a white world.

Atobe Keigo followed his father to disembark, and just as he was about to go down the gangway, the girl waved her arms on the deck and shouted loudly: "Atobe, goodbye——"

Atobe looked at the girl as soon as he heard the sound, and said to Atobe Keigo with a smile: "It seems that you get along well."

Keigo Atobe hummed proudly: "Is there anything I can't do in this world?" Then he waved vigorously to the girl and replied loudly: "Be happy, Naoko!"
