With a proud smile, Minamoto Kurena lowered her hand and touched Kid's face, casually wiping away the fine cold sweat on his skin.
Then she took out her mobile phone and coaxed softly:
"Hold on a little longer. When I contact him, I will let you out immediately. I will also prepare your favorite refreshments and a place to relax and bathe for you... Come on, tell me his number."
"110." Kidd breathed hard while trying his best to finish the sentence without any lag:
"The contact code is 'I was kidnapped by Koizumi Anko from Tokyo's Ekoda High School and the strange Obasan she invited, please rescue me quickly'."
Minamoto Kurenai who really pressed "1" on the dial button: "..."
Koizumi Anko, who stood silently aside, was shocked that Kiritengu could actually use a mobile phone, and planned to save the contact information of the monsters during the chaos: "..."
The air in the castle was silent for a few seconds.
After a moment, Minamoto Kurenai's forehead twitched slightly. A faintly angry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was shrouded in red robes. She raised her staff and knocked it hard against the ground.
The red magic power overflowed like a spring, like a meat grinder targeting the soul, crushing and tearing every cell. Kidd had not finished taunting him, but at this time, his throat suddenly became hoarse, and what he wanted to say became a cry.
A painful groan.
Minamoto Hongna also snorted.
She stood up, straightened out the wrinkles on her robe, no longer looked at Kidd, but turned to the servant at the door and ordered:
"Go find some of Kidd's previous notice letters, make a copy of them, and publish them in the newspaper as soon as possible."
... Without knowing the contact information between Kid and Kiritengu, rashly using a warning letter to attract Kiritengu may cause the other party to become suspicious.
However, even if it becomes suspicious, the monster will probably come nearby to check the situation, or send someone familiar with it.
At that time, as long as they see "Kidd" present, they will definitely find a way to contact "Kidd".
Judging from the picture in the crystal ball, it was not the first time that Kidd and the monster met at the scene of theft. Put this hook and bait down, and it is not difficult to fish out the foggy dog.
…
The next afternoon.
Central Commercial Street.
Jiang Xia carried a lot of various bags and watched Mao Lilan's lottery draw.
——In two months, it will be time for Didan High School to hold a campus festival.
As a fairly grand event in the Rice Flower Market, various programs have now entered the preparation stage.
Jiang Xia's 2nd grade Class B also has a play to perform.
Mao Lilan was recommended as the heroine to play the princess in the drama early on. Although the class prepared princess costumes, Suzuki Sonoko was not satisfied no matter how she looked at it.
In the end, Mao Lilan couldn't stand the devilish whisper of Suzuki Sonoko who disliked the skirts in the class, so she decided to add some decorations to the skirts by hand.
So the three of them came out early in the morning, planning to buy some suitable white gauze and decorations.
——At first, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were worried that Jiang Xia would find it boring to go shopping with girls.
Unexpectedly, when they talked about this matter, Jiang Xia took the initiative to come with them without inviting them.
The two girls were stunned for a moment, and soon felt that they understood - the stage play was related to the honor of the class, and it was a grand collective activity. Jiang Xia really listened to their usually calm guidance and decided to try his best.
Integrate into the group... take him shopping, must go!
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko originally wanted to go shopping in the afternoon.
But suddenly Jiang Xia appeared, so they changed their plan - they planned to go out early and finish the shopping while there were fewer people in the morning, so as not to have Jiang Xia's psychological shadow on "accompanying them when shopping" and not being able to invite them again.
However, after walking around for a while, I found that Jiang Xia showed no sign of reluctance and was even quite interested in the surrounding environment...
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko immediately relaxed and accidentally started shopping mode.
...and then the time flew by into the evening.
Jiang Xia silently glanced at the pile of bags she was helping to carry.
He didn't know whether the decorative materials were purchased or not.
There is no shortage of all kinds of clothes and bags, and there are even two pairs of shoes...
Before, when Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were shopping, Jiang Xia had been paying attention to the surroundings, trying hard to hear if there were any screams or sirens nearby... but there were none.
The commercial street was very quiet today. There were no scheduled incidents such as bag robbers.
Jiang Xia finally silently glanced at the setting sun in the distance, and then looked at the lottery box in front of her that gave away lottery numbers for buying clothes.
——If you want to pick up something today, then this is your last hope.
...Moori-san’s European style shouldn’t disappoint anyone.
Just as he was thinking about it, a soft cry of surprise came from the front, and it was Mao Lilan's voice: "I'm hit!"
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief silently, and his hands, which were a little sore after carrying bags all day, felt relieved.
…
Mao Lilan drew a set of VIP theater family tickets, which can bring four people into the venue.
The name of the play is "The Blood Garden". It sounds like a suspense drama, but it is actually a tortuous love story that reflects the dark side of the human heart.
"I have read the novel of the same name of this drama before..." Suzuki Sonoko casually opened the brochure that came with the ticket, which contained the list of starring actors in the drama.
As she flipped through the pages, her round almond-shaped eyes curled up with a smile: "Mihua Art Theater - it's on the next street. I happened to stop by after dinner. Let's go and have a look."
Conan also followed him out in the morning and spent the whole day shopping with him. At this time, he was extremely bored and deeply regretted the decision he made this morning.
Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's words, he yawned sleepily: "I've watched it too. It's a boring drama... Why don't you go home early? Aren't you tired after wandering for so long?"
However, Suzuki Sonoko was very interested: "What do little kids know? The drama is indeed boring, but the lead actor is handsome! This is played by Uda Yuichi..."
As he spoke, Suzuki Sonoko's voice lowered.
She suddenly remembered that things were different now than usual - now she was not only surrounded by her best friend, but also Jiang Xia.
So he suppressed his nymphomaniac smile and said reservedly:
"Ahem, it can mainly be used as a reference - look, you are going to act in a play soon. Watch more plays and learn from professional actors so that it doesn't look too stiff!"
"Indeed." The first one to agree was Jiang Xia. The three of them heard him say seriously, "I rarely watch dramas and lack experience in this area. It's rare to get a ticket, so why not go and watch it."
…
Three votes agreed.
The remaining child with a reluctant face has no human rights in the voting process and can only be counted as a pendant. It is equivalent to a unanimous vote.
So in the end, the three of them had dinner and dragged a schoolboy who looked like a salted fish to the Mihua Art Theater.
Jiang Xia found a seat and sat down, looking around to see if there was anyone nearby with murderous intent.
But suddenly I heard a familiar name coming from behind me.
