With a lot of ingredients, Haihara Ai and his party set out on their way home.

"Let me remind you first," Haiyuan Ai looked at Yingying, who was obviously very happy, and warned. "The calories in this are still quite high. If you eat too much, the consequences will be tragic."

"Don't worry~" Yingying replied with a smile. "I will plan my diet carefully~"

"However, the things I bought seem to be a bit too much," complained Yuanta, who was carrying a pile of ingredients. "How about we take the bus back?"

"I don't have any objections," Hui Yuan Ai looked at the bag in his hand and said. "Since you know that the way back is long, there is no need to buy so much. It would be better if you buy less."

"I remember the bus stop is in the other direction," Ayumi gestured to everyone behind her. "We still have to walk back a little."

"Then we can only go back," Hotaru glanced at Genta, and then focused her gaze on Haibara Ai, who had just changed her posture and carried the bag of ingredients. "After all, if we go back like this, the few of us may have to break down halfway.

.”

Just like that, the group of people stopped and walked in the opposite direction.

After passing by Haibara Ai and others who turned in the opposite direction, a man took a few steps forward and calmly turned into a shop on the roadside. After a few seconds, he seemed to give up.

As if he had planned to enter the store, he walked out again. But what was a little strange was that after he walked out, he walked in the direction he came from.

…………

About ten minutes later, we arrived at the bus stop.

Hotaru leaned against the pillar of the waiting shed at the bus station, with her left foot supporting her whole body weight and her right foot lightly tapping on the ground. In this posture, she looked at a nearby store.

Although you are already so exhausted, you still want to continue shopping. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to carry it when you go back?

Well - if they had to walk back, they probably wouldn't buy so much. It's because they have to take the bus that they have the courage to continue buying, right?

Especially the little girl Ai, who continues to buy even though she can no longer hold so many things, she is like a little glutton——

Firefly suddenly felt a little uneasy in her mind - it was a strange feeling that something was not quite right. "?"

After shifting her gaze, Yingying didn't notice anyone looking at her, and nothing unusual happened nearby.

Are you worrying too much? Firefly pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head, and thought about the strange feeling just now. Along the way, she had felt this strange feeling several times... as if she was being targeted by a hunter.

…………

The man who just passed by Hotaru and the others just passed by Hotaru again as if nothing had happened, and stood under the waiting shed, pretending to be waiting for the bus like a normal passenger.

It seemed that he was just waiting for the bus leisurely, but the man's body was completely tense, and even his teeth were completely clenched.

[How dangerous,] the man let out a long breath and thought with lingering fear. [Although it is indeed expected that such a girl has certain anti-reconnaissance abilities, it is rare to see such a strong anti-reconnaissance ability.

ah?】

[But just sitting here like this should be fine for now. After all, they just said they would take the bus. If you sit here, you can naturally follow them and get on the bus. 】

……………………

When Haibara and others walked out of the store carrying more bags than before, a bus arrived that they could take back to Tachibana House, so everyone got on the bus together.

"I bought a lot of things this time," Yuantai said excitedly. "Thankfully there is a bus, otherwise we would all be exhausted!"

"But the main reason for buying so many things is because you can take a car, right?" Haihara Ai glanced at the bag in his hand and smiled helplessly. "I thought I wouldn't be very tired when I got home, so I bought it.

.”

"But this way you can eat it for a long time, so you don't have to go out to buy it often, so it's still very cost-effective!" Ayumi said happily, putting the handbag on the ground. "You can eat a lot of ingredients for a long time!"

At this moment, Haihara Ai suddenly realized that Yingying's mood was not very high. "?"

"..." Yingying took out her mobile phone, typed a line of words on the screen, and then handed it to Haihara Ai.

[Don’t say anything, we are being followed, the man in front wearing a black T-shirt and black sunglasses.]

"!" Haibara Ai almost couldn't restrain her desire to look ahead in surprise, looking for the person Ying described, but she still suppressed her actions - otherwise it would be nothing more than alerting the enemy.

[What should I do?] Haiyuan Ai pretended to be very interested in the mobile phone and typed with a curious expression.

"Yes, that's it~" Yingying took the phone with a smile and pretended to demonstrate typing skills to Haibara Ai.

[Let’s get off the car and take a detour to confirm whether he is really following us. If he is indeed following us, try to see if we can catch him.]

In this way, Hotaru and Haibara smiled and formulated an anti-tracking plan against this stalker with malicious intentions.

…………

"It's time to get out of the car," following Hotaru's call, Haihara Ai and others got out of the car together with their own big and small bags. "Go back quickly, or you won't have time to make lunch!"

"We're finally home," Genta shook the two big bags in his hands. "This time I want to eat a delicious peanut butter eel sandwich!"

"..." Ayumi and Haihara Ai both had speechless expressions.

"That should be okay, right?" Yingze, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Genta with a smile. "Anyway, as long as you like it, you can eat whatever you want~"

At the same time, Hotaru's peripheral vision turned to the man who had been following them.

This man is still following... He is probably not a kind person anymore.

Yingying didn't notice anything wrong with this man before getting in the car, but thinking about it, he might have been staring at her for a long time, and her previous uneasiness also came from this man.

I had seen this person passing by me when I was at the station before, but I didn't become suspicious of him at that time - his eyes had never been on me, so I didn't pay special attention to him.

But in fact, even if your eyes are not focused on yourself, you can still use your peripheral vision to complete the observation... As long as you lock the object you want to observe near the focus, you can obtain the general position and behavior of the observation object through your peripheral vision.

In this way, I did notice that his eyes were a little dull and empty at that time, and he didn't seem to be looking at anything - he was probably observing himself with his peripheral vision at that time, right?
