Conan waited on the phone all night, and finally got a call back from Sakura before he wanted Dr. Ari to help book a flight to Kyushu.

As soon as the call was connected, Conan told Sakura that Akai Shuichi still remembered what happened last night, and quickly asked Sakura what to do.

Sakura held the phone in silence for a while before asking uncertainly, "Um... Conan, who is Mr. Akai you're talking about?"

"..." Conan on the other end of the phone fell into a weird silence.After the hands of the clock on the wall passed half a circle silently, he seemed to have recovered his voice, and introduced to Sakura who "Shuichi Akai" was with an erratic voice.

"Does Conan think he can be trusted?" After listening to Conan's introduction, Sakura still had no impression, but asked such a question.

Conan was slightly taken aback, and then responded softly.

Hearing this trusting "hmm", Sakura's lips slightly raised, she held the phone and said, "That's okay. You said it, he didn't seem to care too much, presumably he wouldn't Tell me what happened last night."

"..." Conan was silent again, he didn't expect that Sakura would simply brush off this matter.

Sakura seemed to have guessed what Conan was thinking at the moment, a faint laughter came from the other end of the phone to Conan's ears, only to hear Sakura say: "Even if he says something, someone must believe it."

"Huh?" I don't know if it was an illusion, but Conan always felt that there was something in Sakura's words.

Sakura's chuckle came from the other end of the phone again, "Conan, do you know the idiom 'three people become a tiger'?"

Of course Conan knew this idiom, but he just didn't understand what it had to do with what they were talking about now.

Sakura couldn't stop smiling, "Whether a rumor is true or not, as long as there are many people who say it, people can believe it to be true. However, without any evidence and only him, that Mr. Akai announced what happened last night. Yu Zhong, do you think anyone will believe it?"

Conan didn't know whether he was relieved or just gave up when he heard the words. He relaxed, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Xiaoying is really 'reliable'. Don't you worry that there are people like Mr. Akai in the 'inner world' Haven't been erased from memory?"

"Even if there are fish that slip through the net, compared to ordinary people, people in the 'inner world' can keep their mouths tight and never talk nonsense." Sakura's smile gradually deepened, and it was between the fingers of her free other hand. , a small black ball was moved back and forth.

After that, Sakura's life went on step by step, occasionally receiving calls from Tokyo.In this way, I spent about half a month peacefully and leisurely.

One day, when Sakura was wandering around the town with the cat teacher who came to visit, she passed a suspiciously dressed person on the street.

That person was wearing a black robe that almost covered his whole body, even though it was summer, he wrapped himself tightly.Strangely, his very strange appearance did not attract the attention of passers-by on the road.

The moment he rubbed shoulders with Sakura, he suddenly whispered something in Sakura's ear.

Sakura stopped immediately when she heard the words, she turned to look at that person, but there was no sign of that person behind her.

"It's very strange, girl Sakura." The cat teacher's eyebrows and eyes were curved, but there was a piercing coldness in those dark eyes, "That guy's smell has disappeared."

Sakura raised her hand to cover Teacher Kitty's head, rubbed its soft fur, and said softly: "It's okay, as long as his target is still me, he will definitely appear again."

Afterwards, one person and one demon acted as if nothing had happened. Sakura took the cat teacher to the Seven Tsujiya, where he bought a lot of steamed buns that the cat teacher loved and the Fujiwara couple's favorite snacks.Then, after seeing the time was about the same, I went to the high school where Natsume was studying.

When Natsume left school, as soon as he left the school gate, he saw Sakura standing on the side of the road wearing a light blue printed kimono. , she was holding something in her hand, Teacher Kitty was lying on her shoulder, as if she said something interesting, Sakura had a slight smile on her face.

From the first time I saw Sakura, Natsume thought she was a very beautiful girl, but she was not the kind of "aggressive" beauty, on the contrary, she felt very "comfortable", Especially when she smiled softly, it gave people a feeling of spring breeze, making people reluctant to look away.

No, the teenagers who have passed by Sakura one after another have gone a long way and are still looking back.

"Huh? Isn't that Chubby?" Kaname Tanuma, who was walking side by side with Natsume, saw the special cat at a glance, but his attention was all on Mr. Cat, but he didn't notice the other person at all. .

It wasn't until Natsume quickened his pace and ran over in two or three steps that he noticed Sakura with the cat teacher on his shoulders.

"Ah..." Tanuma let out a blunt "ah". When he saw Natsume chatting and laughing with that girl he didn't know, he didn't know whether he should go forward or just be quiet like this Better to leave.

Unfortunately, before Kaname Tanuma had time to make a choice, Natsume's other two friends in the same class, Nishimura Satoru and Kita Benedict, appeared out of nowhere and clicked their tongues beside him.

Seeing Nishimura Satoru rubbing his chin, he said with a gossiping expression, "When did Natsume meet such a cute girl? They were talking and laughing, tsk tsk, they must be dating!"

"..." Tanuma was about to be silent for a while, and then took steps to the other side, intending to leave.

However, as soon as he took a step, Nishimura Satoru grabbed his wrist.When he looked at the past along his wrist, he saw Nishimura Satoru with a smiling expression on his face and said, "Are you curious too, Tanuma? Let's go, let's go there together!"

"No..." Nishimura Satoru dragged Tanuma away before he could say his refusal.

Kita Benedict shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.

In this way, when Natsume turned around and wanted to introduce Tanuma Kaname to Sakura, he saw Tanuma with a look of lovelessness being pulled over by Nishimura with an enthusiastic expression of a little devil.

"..." Natsume, who could guess what happened without asking, looked at Kita Benedict who was following the two of them speechlessly, and sighed helplessly after seeing the other party spread his hands towards him.

The three of them soon came in front of Natsume and Sakura. Nishimura Satoru immediately let go of Kaname Tanuma, and asked Natsume to introduce who this young lady was with a curious face.

Natsume sighed resignedly and began to introduce each other to the two parties.However, when introducing Sakura, Natsume specifically emphasized that Sakura is an "ordinary friend".Nishimura Satoru had an expression of "I understand, I understand, don't hide it".

Natsume wondered if the person's head had heated up, and that's why he couldn't understand people's words.

Natsume also knew that the more he explained the situation, the worse it would be. According to Nishimura's character, he must not listen to a word, so he just didn't bother to explain.Anyway, after two days, Nishimura himself will forget about it.

After introducing each other to each other, Natsume naturally took over the heavy-looking boxes from Sakura.

Seeing this scene, the other three people had different expressions. Kitamoto slightly raised his eyebrows and said nothing; Tanuma would have no expression at all. In his opinion, Natsume's helping Sakura with things seemed to be a very common behavior; Nishimura Satoru had the most exaggerated expression, and even made a strange "hehehe" laugh.

Sakura, who was walking in front with Natsume, would look back from time to time after hearing this laughter, and then ask Natsume, "Is your friend okay?"

Natsume didn't know what to say anymore, she endured it for a while, and when Sakura asked him "Is it really all right?" for the second time, she said helplessly, "It's all right, just ignore him for a while and he'll be fine."

Sakura nodded dubiously when she heard the words, just to be on the safe side, she turned her head to take a look for the last time, and by the way, checked if Natsume's friend was possessed by strange things.

The cat teacher who noticed Sakura's little movements gave a weird laugh, and then whispered in Sakura's ear: "It's just a precocious human kid, you don't care what he does."

"Hmm..." Sakura pondered for a moment, then whispered to Mr. Kitty: "But his smile is so weird!"

Teacher Cat didn't speak any more when he heard the words, rolled his eyes quietly and jumped off Sakura's shoulder, twisting his fat body and walking beside Natsume.

A group of people walked together talking and laughing for a while, and finally parted ways at an intersection.

Sakura is walking with Natsume.Nishimura Satoru, who saw this scene, even though he was far away, still grabbed Kita Benedict and yelled, "Those two people are definitely having an affair."

"Yes, yes." Kita Benedict, who was swayed by his friend, showed a loveless expression, and couldn't help but swear in his heart, even if Natsume and Sakura really have something, Nishimura, you are too excited...

And Sakura, who followed Natsume back to Fujiwara's house, finally met Aunt Toko who often asked Natsume to come to Honmaru with delicious snacks and food.

The biggest purpose of coming here this time is actually to thank Aunt Tazi.

Aunt Tazi did not refuse Ying's thank you gift, she accepted it generously, and then affectionately led Ying in.

Natsume didn't know if it was her own illusion, but she always felt that Aunt Tako seemed to be extraordinarily enthusiastic today.But if you look closely, it seems that there is not much difference from usual.

Natsume scratched his hair suspiciously, but didn't think about it because he couldn't see anything.

After going back to the room and putting down her schoolbag, changing clothes and coming downstairs, Natsume found that Aunt Toko's enthusiasm for Sakura seemed to have grown to a higher level.

"Sakura sauce, cherry sauce" shouted more and more affectionately.

That night, Sakura stayed at Fujiwara's house for dinner, and chatted with the Fujiwara couple for a long time after dinner.It wasn't until Yuezong approached the door on the third day that it finally came to an end.

"Come play again next time, Sakura-chan." Before leaving, Aunt Tazi said to Sakura with a smile.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, and even though it is past 9:[-] pm, Natsume doesn't have to worry about not being able to do homework in time.Natsume turned back after sending Sakura and Mikazuki Zongjin to the gate and watching their figures gradually disappear into the night.

"Tomorrow I will go to Tokyo again." On the way back to Honmaru, Sakura said suddenly.

"Did something happen?" Trinity asked.

"Well, that's right. I'm not sure about something, so I have to go there." Because she wasn't 100% sure, Sakura's explanation was a little vague.

Although it is not clear why Sakura is going to Tokyo again, Mikazuki Munechi has no intention of stopping Sakura.So instead of asking any further, he asked Sakura if she would take them with her this time and who she would take with her.

"Let Hasebe go with me." Sakura said after thinking for a while, and then she said: "As soon as we go back, arrange someone to protect the Fujiwara couple. Don't be too obvious, just protect them secretly." There is Madara beside Natsume It shouldn't be a big problem, but the Fujiwara couple has a lot of gaps to exploit, especially Uncle Zi, who still has a job, so he has the greatest chance of being singled out and is also the most vulnerable to attack.

Sanri Yuezong heard the seriousness in Yinghou's words, he frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sakura shook her head, "I hope I'm overthinking."

"After I go back, I'll ask Yaoken, Xiaoye, and Jinjian to come over." San Riyue didn't continue to ask, but directly named the short swords.

The daggers are petite, move quickly, and are good at lurking and searching. They are the most suitable for carrying out this secret protection operation.After thinking for a while, Sanriyue quickly decided on the candidate.

"So, I'll leave it to you."
