"Sharon, you're distracted."

In the dimly lit little bar, Shirakawa's voice brought back Belmode's consciousness back to the distant past.

She snapped back to her senses, and at this moment, Bai Heqing was still sitting behind the bar, supporting his chin with one hand, looking at the empty wine glass in his hand.

"It's rare that you've been distracted in front of me for so long?"

He had the usual smile on his face, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

In fact, it's not really "as always", at least not when he was young......

"Nothing, just thinking about some of the past......" Belmode replied casually in a nonchalant tone.

Bai Heqing's hand shaking the wine glass suddenly stopped.

She could clearly feel that when she said this, a chill emanated from his whole body, although only for a moment.

It was as if he had touched something that was most hidden in his heart.

"Shirley's thing, I'm not going to back down."

However, Bai Heqing didn't have any intention of taking on this topic, and the original abrupt aura recovered instantly, and he calmly skipped Belmode's words.

Even so, I don't know if it was her words that had some special effect, but there was still some slight change in Bai Heqing's tone.

Although his words still sounded very strong, there was a faint sense of loosening.

Belmode didn't say anything more, she took a sip of the wine in her glass, then stood up and turned to leave the small bar.

She knew very well that Bai Heqing had already made concessions.

Since their first encounter, the two have known each other for decades and know each other's habits very well.

He first asked Ah Jing to reveal the news of finding Shirley to her, and induced her to take the initiative to come to him, Belmode had no doubt that this was a "please enter the urn".

According to Bai Heqing's original plan, after she came over, she probably wouldn't have any "personal freedom" in the period before he really caught Shirley.

She knew this before she came.

But here she came anyway.

Because in Belmode's view, this is not a real unsolvable situation.

And she did succeed.

Perhaps it was the "previous things" she inadvertently said that awakened the figure in his memory that had left them for a long time, so that Bai Heqing finally made a concession and let her leave the small bar.

At least for a while in the future, Belmode no longer has to worry about being locked up in a small black room by Bai Heqing.

During the time she organized the capture of Shirley, Shirakawa Kiyoshi allowed her to move freely in any way...... For Shirakawa Kiyoshi, this was already a huge concession, and even Belmode was a little surprised.

Is this confidence that she is unlikely to interfere with his plans? Or is there some other reason?

Belmode couldn't figure it out.

Although she thinks she knows Shirakawa Kiyoshi very well about her character, the last time the two met directly before Shirakawa Kiyoshi returned to Japan this time was ten years ago.

She had no idea how much he had changed in the past decade......

“……”

In the bar, as soon as Belmode left with his front foot, Bai Heqing suddenly collapsed on the bar, his whole person trembling slightly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Time passed in silence, minute by minute, and after a long time, he let go of his somewhat whitish fingertips, sat up again, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Huh?"

Returning to his usual smiling appearance, Bai Heqing suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a letter on his mobile phone.

“……”

"See you tomorrow! Miss Miyano! ”

On the other side, in the newly opened parent-child amusement city of the Suzuki Foundation, the interview with Rice Flower TV was over, and Akemi Miyano, who had completed today's shift, came to the staff's locker room and changed out of the bulky brown bear doll costume on her body.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."

Wiping the sweat from the doll's costume with a towel, Akemi Miyano smiled and nodded at the two female colleagues who were also in the locker room.

"Also, I watched the interview this afternoon, Akemi, you're doing great! Super awesome! The colleague said with a smile while changing into a staff uniform.

"Why, don't taunt me anymore......" Akemi Miyano whispered back a little shyly.

"Really! Akemi, your aura is not lost to the host next to you at all, we all think you are so powerful! Calm and atmospheric! Maybe after a while, we'll all have to call you Akemi Manager! ”

"You know how to tease me...... Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go back first, and I'll see you tomorrow. ”

"Well, bye-bye."

After greeting the two, Akemi Miyano, who had already finished taking care of it, left the locker room.

This staff locker room is located in the corner of the amusement city, and not far from the back door of the amusement city, which is just convenient for the amusement park staff to commute.

The only thing that is a little inconvenient is that the back door of the amusement city is not a direct road, and you need to walk through a secluded and uninhabited path before you can get to the road.

And in some extreme cases, this kind of unmanned road is actually easy to be attacked by some dangerous elements.

Like now.

"The target is single, and I'm tracking."

The clatter of the heel against the ground echoes in the secluded path, and not far behind Akemi Miyano is a man in a suit and sunglasses who is whispering a conversation through a headset.

"Yes, you take note."

As if receiving some order, the man in sunglasses nodded slightly, took out an electric shocker from his pocket, and walked towards Akemi Miyano in front of him.

The footsteps of the man in sunglasses were low, and Akemi Miyano didn't seem to notice anything unusual behind him.

In this way, the man in sunglasses approached within two meters of Akemi Miyano with great ease, and then rushed forward with an arrow step, raising the electric shocker in his hand and pressing it on her back.

【Mission Completed...... What?! 】

However, the man in sunglasses expected to easily bring down Akemi Miyano did not happen.

Just as the stunner was about to touch her, the woman in front of her suddenly turned around at an incredible speed and pinpointedly grabbed his wrist holding the stunner.

"You...... Who is it? Looking at him with cold eyes, Akemi Miyano frowned slightly and asked.

[Careless! This woman is very skilled! 】

Realizing this, the man in sunglasses suppressed the panic in his heart, quickly flipped the electric shocker in his hand, and poked at Akemi Miyano's hand that was holding his wrist.

As he expected, under the threat of an electric shocker, Akemi Miyano let go of his wrist.

But what he didn't expect was that while Akemi Miyano let go, she also raised her leg and kicked the side of his right knee.

"Uhh

That was the end of Sharon's first memories.

Keiko, Kokarasuma and Shirakawa Kiyoshi, they were all young at that time, and the past of the three of them will continue to unfold from Sharon's perspective later. (﹃)
