Miss Moriarty wants to save Mihua Town today too

"Ayako, she said that herself!" The man with long hair approached Winnet with a smile, and approached Winette in broken English, "My name is Ota Masaru, beautiful lady, can you tell us your name?"

"I'm Winette Moriarty, the Lord be with you."

"What a wonderful name, would it be an honor to have lunch with you?"

"I'm sorry," Winnet looked at Shirley's side, "I have an appointment with my friend. This is not a banquet, I think your friends will prefer a relaxed atmosphere."

Winnet smiled ceremonially, expressing apology.

When living in the church, praying, almsgiving, comforting the sad, planting land, thrift, hospitality, self-denial, public welfare activities, exercise, reading, and learning filled every day of her life.

Even though she was out of this full life, it was etched in her memory and became a part of her.

However, in the organization and in front of Shirley, she doesn't like to get along with people in a similar way. In fact, kind words and behaviors don't necessarily affect a kind thought.

Winnet has doubts about her life, but in the face of strangers, the past habits are still the safest.

The capable woman standing in the center came out to smooth things over. "Okay, Ota, we've already disturbed others, so don't leave a bad impression." Immediately, she looked at Winnet and said, "Hello, I'm Chikako Ikeda, a member of the Film Research Institute." Boss, thank you for accepting our invitation, after dinner, can we go to the bar next door to talk?" Compared with Ota Katsubi, her English is more fluent.

"Okay, ma'am."

"Then let's not bother." Suzuki Ayako apologized, and the group of them returned to their original seats.

Winnet nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Shirley.But before she could speak, Shirley said first: "As I said, your harmless appearance will attract the kind of frivolous men who have other plans." Grape juice, poured into a goblet.

Winnet looked at Shirley through the wine red in the glass that was similar to her eyes.I thought, didn't you sell me?

She has a little complaint.

Shirley swirled the glass like a decanter. "Honestly, I regret it. If the man just now played your lover, I think, I will steal your pistol, find an inconspicuous place, and kick him into the sea."

"Uh, isn't that going too far?"

"Indeed, the premise is that he doesn't touch you... How should I put it? That kind of flirtatious guy should be buried in cement and sink into the sea."

terrible.

"Then... you will play the leading role?"

"Although this is a good proposal, my image can't be shown outside. Unlike you, I can only stay in the shadows. If they let them take pictures, the way of death just now may come true."

"It doesn't matter if I was photographed by them..."

"It doesn't matter, you know it yourself. With such an arrangement, you have found a luminous identity for you. Although you are an excellent killer, in a peaceful country like Japan, a sniper rifle shoots and kills with one blow. The best choice. Compared with your strength as a killer, the organization values ​​it more..."

Shirley gave Winnet a look, as if she was going to throw her the question.

More importantly, planning ability and execution ability.

"Oh, that's a pity. I'd love to see you, Shirley."

"Don't be stupid. I still have this self-awareness. A guy with a dark personality like me can't be the focus under the spotlight. Besides, I don't like the feeling of pleasing others."

"How to please? People will appreciate you, and people will be excited about you."

"Ah, if it's for you alone, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice a little."

"Shirley..." Winnet had a helpless face, feeling that it was completely impossible to teach Shirley.

For a long time in the past, the waiters brought meals to the table, the portions were large for two people, and there was even a dish that required burning brandy and cherries in front of them; Winnet was impressed by the Carlson soup, saying that it contained turtle meat, Light cream and sherry.

"Your appetite is astonishing," Shirley looked at the empty plate. "There is no medical explanation for it—the stomach is not bulging. If you don't control it, you will definitely gain weight after the age of 30."

"Get enough exercise, maybe not?"

Seeing Shirley's scolding eyes, Winnet felt a little guilty, and quickly made up her mind to control her appetite. "Okay, but that's a coincidence, they're a little too delicious."

Shirley nodded, "Authentic French and German chefs, plus this huge and gorgeous ship, the owner is considered a top rich man in the world."

Miss Winette heard the words, and combined with the fact that she is an equity heir, she is also a woman worth over [-] million to a certain extent.Even without this layer, the operation funds given by the organization are enough to be squandered.Although this is considered her adoptive father's property, it also belongs to the organization to a certain extent, which reflects the horror of the organization's financial resources.

She couldn't help guessing what the organization's purpose was for having such huge financial resources and force.Since the organization values ​​Shirley so much, does it mean that the medicine Shirley researched is very important, maybe it is used to treat some terminal illness?This is a common plot in the story, and she thinks it is very likely.

Winnet didn't ask.

Shirley never took the initiative to mention this matter. She inferred from this that the research plan is one of the top secrets of the organization, and I am afraid that only the BOSS and cronies can know about it.

Winnet originally wanted to pay by check, but was told that everything was free, especially after hearing her name, the staff seemed more respectful, as if Burgundy had greeted her in advance.

"That group has already gone to the bar." Shirley reminded.

"Speaking of... Shirley, why did you agree to their request?" Winnet thought that Shirley would never do impulsive things.

"There is obviously a young lady of a rich Japanese man. It is the winter vacation of the Japanese school. It is likely that she took her classmates to travel, and now she is returning. Since this ship is bound for Japan, it means that there is a high possibility of trade. Contacts. If you have acquaintances in the upper circles of the rich in Japan, if you show your face twice more, your superficial identity will be more eye-catching, giving people a strong impression, and it will also help you disguise. The woman just now is called Suzuki Ayako, and the Suzuki Group is One of the best consortiums in Japan, do you understand?"

……

103 True and False Knights ([-])

How did Shirley, who was brought to the United States since she was a child, know everything about Japan?Sure enough, there are still missing the motherland and my sister who stayed in that country.

Trying to keep her sister safe, Winnet made up her mind that she really didn't want to see Shirley sad.

Leaving the restaurant, Shirley took Winnet's hand and led her to the ship's bar.In the previous mission, Winnett came to the bar once, and there is not much difference in the layout between the two, except for those Victorian decorations and bright parts.Like the restaurant, the bar is also very open, but there are more people staying in the bar. Many people choose to take their drinks to the open-air seats on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze while drinking.

The interior decoration is simple and unpretentious, with dark tones as a whole, a half-rectangular bar counter, and seats scattered around the bar.

The five members of the film club met in the restaurant chose a sofa-shaped seat around a single table, and deliberately left one side vacant.The location is tucked into the corner, which is a good place for conversation.

Among them, the shy woman wearing glasses and Chikako Ikeda, who claims to be the president, discussed with the paper.

"You are here." Tomokako Ikeda greeted Winnet and Shirley.

She and Shirley sat on one side, and then Ikeda introduced them, "The one next to me is Atsuko Uekawa, who is in charge of the script with me. The honest one is Ryoichi Takahashi, who is in charge of props and lighting. A bit taciturn, The gentle one is Hiroki Kadotani, who is in charge of photography. Ota usually acts as our male lead, and we originally wanted to hand over the female lead to Ayako, but she refused to play no matter what, which made us very distressed.”

"Because I'm not good at acting," Suzuki Ayako explained, "I joined because I just like watching movies, so I can't help much."

"It's nothing like that, Suzuki helped us a lot."

Takahashi Ryoichi gave an encouraging word, then looked at Winnet and Shirley again, "Do you have any drinks?"

"Two glasses of orange juice, thank you." Shirley said proactively.

"Then let's discuss the performance first."

Ikeda Zhijiazi handed over the two copies to them.

Shirley read it, and said to Winnet with a smile, "It's not very good, there is almost no dialogue and emotional drama."

"Yeah, that's why we originally wanted Ayako to perform, but her personality is relatively shy and meek, and she lacks the feeling of being in a crisis."

"Indeed." Shirley agreed.

"A good escape script," Wynette concluded. "This is a severe test for props and shooting, as well as post-processing work."

Winnett read the script, which tells a very traditional escape story. A group of people wake up from a luxurious room on the ship.In a state of confusion, then the ship is full of traps and weapons, and there are candidates for betrayal in the middle.

"Although the script has been basically completed, we are not going to shoot the whole thing, but the first half." Chikako Ikeda said.

After that, she explained the reasons, including the unrealistic production of special effects, and a large part of the props were based on Suzuki Ayako's relationship.This short film is also to show the strength of their film research agency and to pave the way for future activities.

Chikako Ikeda and Atsuko Uekawa both aim to be screenwriters, Hiroki Kadotani is a photography enthusiast, and Ayako Suzuki is a bit of a big lady.

Winnet knew that without Ayako's help, there would be no possibility of shooting this short film. If such a luxurious cruise ship is really used to make a movie, it would be a huge expense, and ordinary college students would never have this opportunity.

"Then try your best to play the 'tragic heroine' well."

Shirley laughed.Because the role of Winnett is the target of being hunted down, the male protagonist who sacrificed to protect his lover at the beginning was behind the scenes, and later put on the imitation armor on the ship and started the chase.The story has no core, with revenge as the main theme, and the main feature is the creation of atmosphere.Chikako Ikeda is the leading actor's lover, so don't worry about that.

"Little sister, we don't know your name yet."

"Me?" Shirley chuckled, "It's the servant of the lady next to me."

What kind of lady, what kind of servant, why did Shirley annoy her like this?Winnet felt a chill down her spine, and then she saw Suzuki Ayako say "ah", and suddenly realized.

"Miss Moriarty, you are the adopted daughter mentioned by Mr. Edward, right?"

Adopted daughter?It seems that the boring setting has increased again.Winnet nodded firmly. She must quickly accept her current identity and more specific content, and it will not be too late to take control in the future.

"Yes."

"He said he would introduce you to us at the banquet tonight."

"But I think, compared to the friendship on the table, the communication we have established at this moment is more meaningful." Winnet replied, "What do you think?"

"Of course!" Suzuki Ayako also felt very happy. She yearned for a relationship that does not take status as a prerequisite, and the foreign girl in front of her belonged to the same circle.

"Don't think of me as a young lady." Winnet took out the rosary given to her by Sister Alyssa, prayed softly, and then said to Suzuki Ayako, "Not long ago, I was a pastor in a small church in the countryside. When I get to Japan, I will continue to engage in the same activities. At that time, our friendship will only be maintained if you visit me occasionally. If you have any troubles, I will welcome your talk."

"I will definitely go." Suzuki Ayako said with a smile.

At this time, Takahashi Ryoichi came back with a drink.Ota ordered drinks, and in the conversation of several people, Winnet learned that they were just 20 years old.

Japan's laws, like the United States, limit the drinking age to 20 years old, and the latter is even 21 years old.

She couldn't help imagining Shirley's appearance while drinking. Will she shed her impeccable disguise and show her tender side?Winnet felt that when Shirley turned 20, they could celebrate it, like Christmas.Thinking of Shirley's age, Winnet suddenly felt that the time is really long. If she is used to living a slow life, her sense of time will become blurred.

After discussing for a while, they decided on a shooting time, just after tonight's dinner party.

Winette also assured that she would ask Burgundy, who had never met before, to lend them a room on the ship for filming; on the other hand, she also learned that the Suzuki consortium and Durant have always had good cooperation There are many projects in Japan, including this ship, which will also stay in Japan and carry out activities.

After the conversation, there are still three hours before the dinner.

"Let's go back first." Shirley drank the orange juice in the glass, pulled Winnet out of the bar, and took a breath, "Why, you still miss it, want to experience the feeling of a drunk hangover again? "

When Shirley mentioned that incident, Winnet felt her cheeks heat up.She has only the faintest impression of what happened that night, alcohol is such a bad thing, "No, I won't touch it."

"It's best, you're allergic to alcohol."

After the state of Winnet that night, Shirley analyzed.

……

104 True and False Knights ([-])

After returning to the room, Shirley said that she would rest for a while.

Winnet didn't feel sleepy, and when Shirley fell asleep, she left the cabin and was going to enjoy the sea breeze on the deck.In the afternoon, the temperature is relatively warm, which is a good time.

She took a bottle of mineral water, went to the tiered, wide deck, and walked all the way to the edge where there were few people.There is a piece of blue in the eyes, even if she can't see the specific lines, she can still feel the shock.

As she watched the sea, the sound of footsteps approached.

The visitor was not Shirley, but a man of medium height.She heard the sound of the tripod falling to the ground, probably the photographer.Is there anything to photograph here?If it is for the sea view, avoiding other people is a better way to appreciate it.

"Excuse me, ma'am. I wonder if I could take some pictures of you?"

"I would very much like to refuse, sir."

She turned her head to the side, and there was a camera in front of her, but this middle-sized man did not shoot, but asked for her permission.In the face of a sufficiently polite and respectful gentleman, priests will usually not refuse their small request.

But Winnet doesn't want her appearance to be known by many people, especially when the man in front of her is professional enough.

The man changed the camera angle and said while adjusting, "Ma'am, I guess you are worried about your photos being widely spread. But don't worry, I won't do that. If you really mind, I can just take pictures of the back. There are a lot of vulgar people on this ship, we don't get along with them, do we?"

The man said in a sympathetic tone, he was wearing a tight white sweater with something like a coat of arms embroidered on it, his eyebrows and eyes were very firm, and he was about 30 years old.His facial expression and tone of voice showed that it was not necessary, and his whole person seemed quite gentle.

Winnet refused again: "I'm sorry, sir."

He cocked the camera upwards. "Okay, ma'am. I'm Otis, a freelance journalist who's heading to Japan for a shoot. Maybe we can talk and kill time before dinner."

Otis waited for an answer.

Winnet agreed to his request.She thought that this might give her a simple idea of ​​the ship and the people participating in the banquet, so that she would not be unprepared for the dinner.

Otis smiled, arched his body, and caught the moving seabird high in the air.

"Mr. Otis, I don't think Uncle Edward will let a reporter aboard. This is a very personal trip, isn't it?" Winnett said first.

Otis smiled and pressed the shutter button.

"I didn't board the ship as a reporter. Rich people like secrets, and sneaky reporters will be regarded as rats who steal privacy." Otis shook his head meaningfully, "If I was for money, I wouldn't run away I’m going to do this job... I want to shoot landscapes and humanities. Two months ago, I was still in a war-torn country in Africa, but it was too cruel there, so I had to flee to the United States after the filming was over.”

"God keep you safe, sir."

"Thank God, but Africans don't believe in him, and they don't treat me differently because I am a believer. Well, ma'am, I am a lucky one who happens to inherit an inheritance. My uncle died in the United States. He is not only a rich man, but also a No heirs."

"Me too, sir. Tonight, Uncle Edward will reintroduce me."

"Oh, my God!" Otis smiled, "I thought you were the princess of some small country just now. You are as beautiful as a white bird flying in the sky, and you made an old man lose his sense of control."
