"Ahh

"Mu Feng, Miss Hoshino rarely does this, right?" Sakuruma poked her head out of the kitchen and happened to bump into Mu Fengye, who came to serve the food.

"yes, to be exact, I don't see her very often. ”

"This is the last dish, let's go, I'll clean up and pass." Sakurama handed the last dish to Mu Fengye, took off her apron with her hands behind her back, and took care of the table that had just soiled.

"Sakurama, hard work. ”

"What do you say, what do you say that she is also your mother, so she doesn't necessarily have to let her eat instant noodles, right?" Sakurama pulled her hair behind her ears and smiled lightly, "Okay, I'll go over right away, you go first, otherwise they'll be full of drinks." ”

Back in the living room of the main house, it was late outside, the moon was particularly bright against the background of the stars, and the silver light sprinkled into the room, quiet and soft, as if it was the most beautiful picture given by God to mankind.

"I don't know how much better it is here than working and living without a fixed place......" Hoshino held her glass and looked at the night sky outside, she hadn't looked up at the canopy above her head like this for a long time, because of her work, her daily life was almost two o'clock and one line, and she never stopped.

"People always have their own choices, and since you have embarked on this path, it becomes difficult to turn back. Shimizu shook the wine in the cup and picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "Sakuruma's cooking skills have improved again, I really want to come here every day to eat." ”

"It's just eating, Miss Qing Shui, you should be able to squeeze it out at this time, right?" Mu Fengye sat down in his position and glanced at the two empty bottles of wine on the other side of the table, "I said you guys were too drunk." ”

"What's the matter, I'm going to stay with you tonight anyway, hey, you should have a lot of spare rooms here, right? Qing Shui was already drunk, exuding the smell of alcohol.

"And so it became. Sakuruma opened the door and stepped over to her seat and sat down.

"Sakuruma-chan, who did you learn your cuisine from?" Hoshino asked suddenly.

"If you learn it yourself, as long as you master the skills, it is not difficult to cook, although at the beginning you will think that you are not suitable for this kind of work, but over time you will find that time is the thing that hones everything. ”

"Hehe, I like that kind of answer. Hoshino put down his glass, cupped his cheeks, and said, "You don't seem to be nervous at all when you see me." ”

"Miss Hoshino is Mu Feng's mother, and if it's not an enemy, there's no reason to be nervous. ”

"Now, have you ever drunk?" Hoshino asked, pushing the cup in front of Sakuruma.

"No, although I am older than Mu Feng, I am not yet twenty years old, and I can't drink according to the law. Sakurama pushed back the glass, holding up the glass full of juice, "But this one is still okay." ”

Hoshino smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass, and the two glasses made a crisp clatter.

"It's going to be a good night......

After dinner, Mu Fengye placed Shimizu Bong, who had fallen asleep during the meal, and Hoshino, who was full of alcohol, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and he didn't expect the chat after the meal to last so long, but judging from the conversation between Hoshino and Sakurama, Hoshino didn't seem to hate her, on the contrary, he seemed to like her character very much.

When she came to the kitchen with the lights on, Sakuruma had almost brushed the dishes, wiping the water stains on them one by one, looking at her back, like a virtuous and kind wife.

"Did they sleep?" Sakuruma seemed to hear Mu Fengye's footsteps.

"Hmm. You're tired today, aren't you?"

"Fortunately, I don't know how many times better it is than fighting those monsters outside. ”

"Twig looks like you very much, are you happy?"

"Hmm. ”

"Did you tell her about the matter between us?" Sakuruma asked, leaning against Mu Fengye's body.

"Anyone can see this kind of thing, and Miss Shimizu must have told her a long time ago. ”

"Mu Feng, the matter of cooperation has been solved, and the keel will be back on track in the future, the only good news is that the information between us and the Mu company can be exchanged, although I don't think your father will leak highly confidential information to us, but at least I can know about their research projects all along. Sakura's topic suddenly became heavy, and Mu Fengye had to deal with this kind of problem seriously.

"What's wrong? Do you suspect Mu's Enterprise?"

"Miss Hoshino knows too many things, ordinary businessmen don't know about the keel, and those are highly confidential information in the keel, not to mention what they are studying, but there must be someone from the Mu family between the keel. ”

"Is there anyone with my dad?"

"Miss Qing Shui should have guessed this, but we don't need to continue to expose the true face of that person in our current state, but after all, that is the guy who once leaked our news, even if we are in a cooperative relationship with Mu's enterprise now, we must find him, because we don't have any deep understanding of Mu's enterprise. ”

For so many years, Mu Fengye has always thought that Mu Bo's business is mainly about business, but after listening to Sakurama's words just now, he also began to be curious about this mysterious company that he had never known about, why did Hoshino, as an ordinary person, obtain this information?

"Do you have an idea?" Mu Fengye asked.

"Not yet, since he can transmit information to the outside world within a tight intelligence network like a dragon bone, it means that that person has a very high authority. If you divide it according to the level of the Security Council, I am a sixth-level member, as a deputy, you are a seventh-level member, and the Black Rider is eighth-level, and Miss Shimizu and the upper level are the top. It is impossible for someone below level 6 to leak information, and the deputy of the black rider does not directly interfere with the intelligence of the headquarters except for you, which means that person is a member of the black rider or the higher-ups. ”

"Black riders, I don't think they're like that, do you mean gods and early?"

"That guy has long been left out, he's the kind of guy who doesn't bother to do this kind of thing, and it's not good for him. Sakuruma locked his gaze between the remaining seven black riders and the higher-ups, "There are five people in the high-level besides Yaotome who has betrayed, and one of them is a god, which means that there are four people left. ”

"But we've never seen them, not even the names of the higher-ups. ”

"It's true that each of them is a secret to the outside world, but there is always someone who knows who they really are. ”

Mu Fengye thought for a few seconds, and suddenly realized: "You mean Miss Qingshui!"

"Let's take a chance to ask her about the high-level things, I think if we asked, she wouldn't shy away. ”

Sakurama dried her hands with a towel, then untied the hair tied at the back of her head, and wrapped the black ribbon around her wrist, this ribbon was given to her by Mu Fengye not long ago, and it was also a gift she cherished very much.

"The bath water has been put away for you, I'll go back to the room first. ”

"Hmm. ”

At midnight, the moon was just obscured by a dark cloud, the house was pitch black, and the candles in the corridor emitted a faint light, which seemed to be constantly swallowed up by the darkness, and the whole corridor was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

"Ah~ My head hurts, it looks like I've drunk a little too much, it's bad, where is the bathroom here......" Qing Shui got up in a daze, crawled to the door and rubbed his eyes, the things in front of him were still shaking, and the strength of the wine did not dissipate much.

After searching for a long time with his impression, Qing Shui finally touched the direction of the bathroom in the dark.

"Hmm...... Is it already two o'clock? Damn, I've been asleep for so long, ah~ If you can't wake up tomorrow, you'll be scolded by Xiaoxue again. Shimizu walked back to her room, only to find Hoshino sleeping next to her, and she seemed to be drunk, but it was quiet until now.

By the light of the candle through the crack in the door, Shimizu could see that Hoshino had taken off all her coat, her snow-white skin glowing in the dark, but she hadn't taken off the white gloves that had been worn all day and were stained with coffee.

"What the hell is down here...... Qing Shui slowly walked to Hoshino's side, she was surprisingly quiet, her breathing was close to silent, even her heart was beating very calmly, when she woke up just now, she thought she was the only one in this room, if she hadn't seen Hoshino by candlelight when she came back, Qing Shui might not have found out about her existence until morning.

"Hmm......" Suddenly, Hoshino's eyes slowly opened, and Qing Shui quickly shrank back in fright.

"Did I wake you up?" asked Qing Shui in a soft voice as he immediately returned to his bed.

"I really envy you for having such a life......"

"Miss Hoshino?"

screamed a few times in a row, Hoshino didn't respond, just turned over and continued to fall asleep, it seemed that what was just a dream just now, Qing Shui didn't pay much attention, lay on the bed and fell asleep again.

And when Shimizu fell asleep, Hoshino's eyes opened again, staring vacantly at the night sky outside the window, and it took a long time to close.

The next day, when Shimizu woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and Hoshino had already left Kyoto with the driver who had come to pick her up. The more I think about what happened last night, the more wrong it becomes, but Hoshino has been gone for a long time, and Qing Shui has no grasp of her whereabouts.

"Miss Shimizu, you're awake, come out and have some breakfast. Sakuruma pushed open the door and said as she looked at Shimizu who was standing at the window buttoning her white shirt.

"Where's Hoshino-san?"

"Mu Feng and I sent her away just now, and she said that she still has something to deal with today. ”

"That's right......" Qing Shui paused and asked, "Did I do anything after I got drunk last night?"

"What do you mean?"

"Forget it. ”

"Miss Shimizu. ”

"Huh?"

"Can you tell me the identity of the higher-ups?"
