On the fifth day of Lestrade and Sherlock Holmes' vacation, they went to the beach again, but this time they prepared a barbecue by the sea, and in view of the fact that Raven had appeared on the beach last time, McCroft used his small power to temporarily circle a quiet place.

They are planning to spend the night at the beach tonight, and according to the weather, it will not be very cold tonight, and there will be no extreme weather such as storms.

Before that, they had prepared everything they needed for the barbecue, and Lestrade set up the oven with the help of the bear children as the cook, and McCroft helped Lestrade on the side. Originally, Hannibal was going to help, but who knew that Mycroft said that the job was very simple, and that Hannibal could take Raven to the beach to look for shells, and now the tide is low, isn't it?

Hannibal glanced at Mycroft, he sniffed lightly at Mycroft, the sweet smell of his body was even stronger as McCroft approached Lestrade, but he had observed the way Mycroft looked at Lestrade, and there was nothing in it...... Lust/Lust.

Human love is often related to sex, unless it is a real platonic love, not the kind of relationship between the same sex that Plato admires, but a spiritual love worthy of everyone's understanding now.

Among Hannibal's past patients, there are also emotional problems, no matter how they say that each other's previous love has nothing to do with sex, but those eyes really can't deceive people, at least not Hannibal in the future. Mycroft's eyes at Reestrade have a liking and appreciation, but there is no sex/** in it, maybe not only Reestrade is a special human being, this Mycroft is also beyond Hannibal's imagination in a certain way.

If you don't think about Mycroft's status and Hannibal's own age, then Mycroft would be a good prey, a prey that Hannibal wants to shoot.

"Won't you be found out if you use your 'small' power with such fanfare?"

After the bears and children had run out to play, Lestrade asked what he had been asking about, and Mycroft put the skewers on the fire and said nonchalantly, "Dear Greg, you should believe me, those are just small things, and I have taken care of them." ”

In five days, from the beginning of the plan to the closing of the net, Anthea completed it very well, although there was a small accident in the middle, but McCroft's emergency plan also solved the matter perfectly.

His political enemies wanted to pull him down with him, to be honest, Mycroft finally sat in his current position, how could he go down lightly, his dream as a child was to enter politics, even if he had a smarter mind than Sherlock, he didn't want to become a detective. Politics was McCroft's choice, if nothing else, at least more suited to him than the toiling and being called in exchange.

Another point is that Mycroft's laziness is magnified much more than Sherlock, and Sherlock once mocked Mycroft if his political enemies knew about him, and Mycroft Holmes climbed to this position because of laziness, I don't know if he would die of shame.

In short, the five-day time plan has begun to close the net, and McCroft's political enemies, as well as his betrayed agents and those who want his life, have been accused by him, and they have been tricked by Mycroft's tricks to a distant town, where they are waiting for not Mycroft himself, but his trained men. Whoever wants to make a deal with McCroft is not qualified now.

"All right, Mr. British Government."

Mycroft smiled slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Inspector Greatest. ”

"Tsk, greasy dead fat."

Sherlock threw the crab in his hand in front of Mycroft and laughed at him, saying it so greasy that Sherlock wanted to vomit.

"Sherlock, you're willing to take care of your ...... yourself Small crabs? ”

Mycroft teased the crab at his feet with a skewer, and Sherlock had a purpose in looking at it so closely, and wanted to use the crab to "assassinate" him, and Sherlock had a really good idea. But the reality is the backbone, and Mycroft used only a stick to control the crab at his feet, and this kind of disobedient and troublesome guy should let Sherlock take it and play with it himself.

“No！”

Sherlock grinned and said a no very happily, because this place was monitored by Mycroft's men, and there were no people nearby, so the bear children showed their abilities when picking up shells, especially Loki and Merlin competed to see who picked up more things with magic, because after the low tide, some crabs or fish would be washed up, and they were all uncontrollable, so when picking up things with magic on the side, They also had to be distracted to make sure that the little things that were alive and kicking around didn't sneak away.

Harry, who knows magic, is left in the house as a referee.

The game had just begun, and Sherlock had come out in the middle trying to attack McCroft with crabs, and the game over there was very interesting, so he didn't want to deal with any small crabs here.

Merlin and Loki are very good at magical stability, and even Mycroft must admit that in the years of information, it is rare for a little wizard like them to use magic at will. Although Harry is also a rare genius in terms of magic, there is one point, Harry's magic will explode, and his stability is not as good as his two younger brothers.

But Mycroft thinks that Harry, Loki, and Merlin will be the only people in the wizarding world.

And they're going to bring Mycroft some information he didn't know, things that the wizarding world was hiding.

"They look like they're having a good time?"

McCroft said to Lestrade.

The seaside was still a little far from where Mycroft and Lestrade were, but they could still hear the crisp laughter of the bear children, and Lestrade glanced over there, it looked like they were playing some game together, and given that Lestrade knew about the little problems of his bear child, he promised that this game must not be a normal child's game, otherwise it would not have made Sherlock so excited.

"It looks like ...... Loki and Merlin are the main characters. ”

Mycroft squinted his eyes at the seaside, the two people standing in the center, Loki and Merlin, and from a distance, there seemed to be something piled up at the feet of Loki and Merlin, and Sherlock was swaying around in front of the two people, looking like he was observing something.

"Merlin and Loki?"

Lestrade raised his forehead, these two people can become the protagonists, then there must be some kind of small competition, on weekdays, Loki likes to fight with Tony the most, but if the game is to compete with Merlin, after all, Tony has no small talent and a brain that is smarter than other children.

"Forget it, nothing should happen with Harry's presence."

Lestrade wasn't worried about what would happen to the bear children, after all, the combat ability was there, he was just worried about something else happening to the bear children, such as all kinds of unnatural phenomena or something. However, Lestrade believed that Harry was reliable, and he would not let his brothers make a big fuss.

"Are you going to check it out?"

Mycroft shook his head when he heard Lestrade's words, and he took out the handkerchief in his pocket and handed it to Lestrade, because it was summer at the fire for a long time, and Lestrade had a lot of sweat on his forehead, "I am not as curious about everything as Charlie. ”

Lestrade looked at the handkerchief that Mycroft handed him, took it, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to him, "I will remember to give you a new one." ”

Mycroft's handkerchiefs must have been expensive, and Lestrade didn't say that he had washed them before returning them, knowing that that they were the only things that women who wanted to develop further.

"No, no, no, it's an honor for you to be able to use it."

Lestrade looked at Mycroft and laughed, "Mycroft, you're really a master of love talk, if I were a lady, I would love you." ”

Mycroft paused when he heard this, and shook his head helplessly, "I will return this sentence to me." ”

What does Mycroft mean? This means that if he were a lady, he would have chosen to marry Lestrade. In fact, in the eyes of both McCroft and Lestrade, they see each other as very good, and they are candidates who can become the other half in the future.

The bear kid didn't know that Lestrade and McCroft had talked about the topic of "if I were a lady", Loki and Merlin's game had reached the last moment, and now Loki was a little ahead, although Merlin was very fast when picking up things with his little talent, but he was not as perfect as Loki when he was distracted to control his "prey", and there were often escaped crabs or something that were picked up by Loki.

Then Loki would put the triumphant loot in front of Merlin into the circle he had drawn.

"The game is over—"

Harry raised his hand high and fell, and when the game was officially over, Loki and Merlin stopped moving, and neither of them looked at each other in defeat. Harry looked at his two younger brothers and laughed helplessly, and just as he was about to review their loot, it occurred to Harry that they had not stipulated that the one with the most weight would win or the one who picked up the most things.

So he looked at the two of them in embarrassment, "That...... What are the rules? ”

"Quantity!"

"Weight!"

Loki and Merlin had their own opinions, and Harry looked at them in embarrassment, especially Merlin who had chosen weight?

Because he couldn't decide for a while, Harry first judged their weight according to his feelings, and he used his little talent to control Loki and Merlin's loot, because under the same magic output, it was more difficult for the heavier side to lift up, so Harry had his own judgment.

In terms of numbers, he asked the two assistant referees, Harold and Sherlock, for their opinions, and in the end he came to a conclusion about the match.

Harry cleared his throat and said very formally, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first low tide scavenger contest has now come to an end, and I am Harry Potter, the head referee. ”

Raven and Tony lined up at the right time, and Harry nodded his head in thanks, and then heard Harry say, "Then we're going to announce the results of this tournament." ”

Everyone held their breath, except for Loki and Merlin in the game, the rest of the people participated in the peripheral bets/games, because they didn't have much financial ability, so the blockade was a week's worth of sweets after going home, as a small dessert after a meal was a joy of life for Lestrade, who was all sweet teeth.

Harry didn't support anyone because he was the referee, of course Saul supported Loki to win, Harold also chose Loki after comprehensive consideration, and Hannibal thought that poor little Merlin was too miserable because no one supported him, so he upset and chose Merlin, of course, Tony and Merlin had a good relationship and liked to quarrel with Loki, so he also stood on Merlin's side.

Raven swayed in the middle, and she and Merlin were roommates, so she ended up choosing Loki.

Sherlock thought for a moment and chose Little Merlin, and now it's a 3-3 draw.

"Ahem, because there is no standard for winning before the match, I judge the referee based on the number and weight of the players."

After a pause, Harry continued, "First of all, the weight results, and our winner is ...... Merlin Lestrade! Let's congratulate him. ”

Harry was very happy standing alone on the rock, and Merlin almost jumped up when he heard that it was him, and he knew that it was worth the big one, and the meat was not even when the big stuff was taken back to eat, wasn't it?!

"It's not the time to celebrate! Now I'm going to announce the winner in terms of numbers, and if Merlin wins together, there will be no suspense about our championship. ”

Merlin swallowed his saliva cooperatively, as a sweetie, it was quite a happy thing to be able to eat double desserts a day, Loki stood there with a confident face, he was not like Merlin's foodie who went to find big things, Loki focused on smaller objects, so he believed that he must have crushed Merlin in terms of quantity.

"In terms of numbers, our winner is Rocky Odinson!"

Harry took the lead in clapping, and Loki and Merlin looked at each other and said that this was ...... Finished?

The result? Who won in the end?

"Because it was a 1-1 draw, this time the game was a draw, thank you all for participating in this low tide pickup competition, and we'll see you next time. By the way, I just tied the hand. ”

Harry jumped off the rock, laughing and so on, and after the two reacted, he didn't come up to beat him, and if he didn't run back to find Lestrade's support, Harry would probably be carried back by Sherlock, you must know how to fight with his two little brothers, Harry can't bear it at all.

"Daddy, help—"

Harry was galloping all the way, followed by Loki and Merlin, and it was clear that the two of them were not only dissatisfied with the game, but even more dissatisfied with Harry's desire to swallow all of their desserts, and he was not afraid that his teeth would all be broken!

Lestrade looked at Harry, who was rushing towards him, and put down his hand, and said to himself, what was the matter, when did Harry also shout for help.

Harry ran over and hid behind Lestrade, grinning as he looked at his breathless brothers who had caught up, "You should be willing to gamble and lose." ”

"Harry Potter—"

What Loki didn't expect was that he would be calculated, and Harry had clearly used the game's loopholes.

Loki didn't care if Harry had found a backer or not, given that he had used a bit of a small talent before, so now Loki had changed to hand-to-hand combat, and he and Merlin pounced on Harry together and successfully threw the man to the ground, and Lestrade laughed and looked at the three people who were rolling in a ball without any intention of interfering. The other bear kids over there are also back, Hannibal has commented on the childish behavior of the three people, Harold dragged Tony who wanted to get involved, the joke is already a mixed play, Tony must not take advantage of it.

As for Thor, who was supposed to help Loki, he also stood aside, his body telling him that he should not be involved in such a righteous and bright duel as a man, and that he should give the most respect to both sides of the fight.

But the three of them are not ruthless, it is not so much a duel as a huddle and rolling.

When he was tired of the trouble, Lestrade called the three men up, grabbed the freshly grilled meat skewers and stuffed them into their hands, "After eating, I will fight again when I have the strength." ”

Harry flattened his hair and gulped down the meat on the skewers in his hand and said to Loki and Merlin, "Okay, since I'm the older brother, I don't want your dessert either." ”

"I didn't want to get it to you!"

Loki bared his teeth like an angry black kitten.

Thor touched/touched/his hair, thinking to himself what to do with his fried brother being so cute.

Harry sat on the beach closest to Lestrade, eating the meat on his hand and rubbing his nose, wondering why he suddenly felt so happy.

"Harry, can you wipe Dad's sweat?"

Lestrade's hands were too busy, so he asked Harry for help, and Harry put down his food and took out a handkerchief from his pocket as Reestrade had instructed, which he recognized as belonging to Mycroft Holmes. He looked at the man who was pestered by Raven over there, and Mycroft must have taken advantage of something they didn't know to seduce/confuse their Dad! Otherwise, his handkerchief would not have been in Lestrade's pocket.

Dad bowed his head.

How did Lestrade know what was going on in Harry's mind, he bent down and carefully wiped the sweat from his head for him, and by the way, a soft question fell on his cheek, "Dad, you have worked hard." ”

"Oh, the angel can hear you, even if I don't get tired of it."

Lestrade didn't notice that Harry secretly took the handkerchief into his arms, as Harry who didn't want Dad to be pursued by Mycroft, he wanted to cut off anything that could make McCroft and Lestrade come into contact, like the handkerchief if it wasn't clear soon, he remembered that Chinese TV said so in terms of romance movies.

The ten-day trip was over quickly, the bears were a little reluctant to leave the small bay and the big villa, Merlin said goodbye to his room before leaving, he said that he would be back, Lestrade took Merlin in his arms and nodded his nose, "If you want to come again, we can do it every year." ”

"Everyone? Are McCroft and Sherlock together? ”

This question is a little difficult to answer, because Mycroft is a busy person, he chose to come on vacation this time one to recuperate, the other to carry out some small plans that cannot be known to outsiders, and the hope of the next trip together is actually very slim.

"Uh...... Does it have to be together? ”

"Yes!"

Merlin nodded solemnly, Merlin is actually a nostalgic person, and because of his refusal to grow up, Lestrade began to take care of him with more thought, Hannibal secretly said to him before, if Merlin refused to grow up, it must be because of the influence of some memories. It may be that Merlin's parents were not in harmony before they abandoned Merlin, and they left too many bad impressions on Merlin, so Merlin didn't want to grow up.

Later, they learned that Merlin didn't want to grow up not because of his parents, but because he really didn't want to go through any life or death because he had endured thousands of years of painful memories, so he refused to grow up from the beginning.

"Of course it will be together, I want you to assure you dear Merlin."

Mycroft didn't know when he came behind the two men, but he seemed to have heard Lestrade and Merlin talking, so he solemnly assured.

Reestrade looked at Mycroft, who casually made a promise, and was very surprised, knowing that children could not be deceived casually, that would hurt their young hearts, and he was worried that Mycroft would not be able to realize it after saying this. Mycroft saw Reestrade's doubts, and he reached out and hugged Merlin from Reestrade's arms, "Greg, I'm going to be the talker, so little Merlin, would you like to see me every holiday?" ”

“Yes！ I like Mycroft, we all do our best together. ”

Merlin looked very happy to get Mycroft's promise, and Mycroft tilted his head and winked at Lestrade, which made Lestrade sigh helplessly, he thought that Mycroft could easily promise that it would be done.

"Merlin, do you like it here? We stay here every time we come to Bournemouth on holiday, so you can bring your bunny or dolphin with you. ”

Mycroft walked out step by step with Merlin and Lestrade in his arms, Anthea, who came to pick them up, followed them with her head down/fiddling with the mobile phone in her hand, the matter in London was all settled, and this time Mycroft didn't have to take the train back.

"Like, I love it here. Can I really take a bunny and a dolphin with me? Is it okay if I bring it together? ”

The greedy Merlin wants to bring all his friends with him.

"Of course you can, as long as you like."

Merlin giggled happily in Mycroft's arms, and Mycroft smiled meaningfully at Anthea, who opened a trading page on her phone.

Harry, who was standing on the sidelines watching Mycroft coax Merlin, sighed helplessly, well, Mycroft Holmes had broken their little brother.

"If I'm not mistaken, this villa will be renamed Sherlock Holmes from now on."

Hannibal noticed the silent exchange between Mycroft and Ancia, and he could tell from their words what Mycroft meant, because Merlin, who was fond of the old Merlin, had chosen to buy the little villa for their later vacations.

"It's been renamed, but it's not Sherlock Holmes."

Harold held up his phone to them, a transcript of the transaction, and a record of the right to transfer the property that had been submitted, and the owner of the house was not Mycroft Holmes, but ...... Merlin Lestrade.

Harry looked at Mycroft's back and sighed, "Looks like our little brother has inadvertently gotten a huge fortune." ”

Hannibal shrugged, given Harry's current depression he wasn't ready to fall into the trap, not only a huge fortune, but also given that Mycroft's cousin and their Dad Greg Lestrade had accumulated more favorability for Mycroft Holmes, if McCroft turned that silly liking into a pursuit, their dear Dad probably wouldn't be able to last long.

Hannibal touched/touched his chin, and said in his heart that he was worthy of the British government, the man who ruled the whole of England behind his back, and used his IQ to make up for his lack of emotional intelligence, compared to the one over there...... It's a lot smarter.

Hannibal looked at Sherlock over there, although he wanted to become a Sherlock Holmes family with IQ and no EQ, but it was obvious that some people could make up for this shortcoming with IQ, and some people would only make their EQ lower and lower.

For example, Mycroft Holmes, for example, Sherlock Holmes.
