Shouichi didn’t stay at the research facility for long.
He simply couldn’t stand the smell of food lingering on Gin.
Even though Gin had changed his clothes, his body was already thoroughly marinated in the scent.
Shouichi’s undisguised disgust made Gin lose face.
*This damn rich kid is such a pain in the ass.*
After saying he would help Gin look for his car, Shouichi took his leave.
After finding a restaurant and eating dinner, Shouichi took out his phone and made a call.
“My car was impounded by the police station.
Get it out for me and drive it to…” Shouichi glanced at a nearby building and continued, “the entrance of the Mitsui Convenience Store.”
The weather was uncooperative, and a heavy rain soon began to fall.
Fortunately, Shouichi’s subordinates were quite efficient, and the unique black Porsche was quickly delivered.
He stroked the body of the car.
As expected of Gin’s wife, it was truly magnificent.
Stepping inside Gin’s wife, Shouichi drove home.
He had said he would help Gin find the car, but he never specified when he would return it.
While rushing home, he suddenly noticed a white dot on the side of the road.
Miyano Shiho, who looked as if she had shrunk in the rain, was dragging a massive oversized lab coat, trudging forward step by step.
The oncoming headlights made her already heavy eyelids even harder to lift.
Fortunately, the approaching car switched to its low beams, allowing her to open her eyes.
Unfortunately, upon opening her eyes, she saw that the oncoming car was actually a black Porsche 356A, and it was pulling up right beside her.
A man in a black trench coat stepped out of the car, holding an umbrella as he walked up to her.
“Rainy days and lolis are a perfect match.”
Miyano Shiho stood before the man in black, not daring to move a muscle.
She recognized this person; they had just met inside the Organization’s research facility.
Codename Cointreau, a member who seemed to be on the same level as Gin.
Shouichi looked at the loli and smiled.
“That outfit you’re wearing looks very familiar.
I feel like I just saw it somewhere.”
Miyano Shiho’s heart skipped a beat.
*A white lab coat?
A hospital or a laboratory?*
*As expected, I was caught by the Organization’s guys after all.*
Steeling her resolve, Miyano Shiho mustered every ounce of courage and strength she had left, pulled a fruit knife from her pocket, and thrust it toward Shouichi.
But in Shouichi’s eyes…
It was just a soaking wet little girl, stumbling towards him, and then diving straight into his embrace.
Shouichi patted her drenched brown hair and said with a smile, “Kids these days are so affectionate, throwing themselves at people the moment they see them.”
Miyano Shiho felt the humiliation of Shouichi’s words and tried to raise her knife to fight for her life.
“A ceramic fruit knife?
Is this a gift for me?” Shouichi confiscated the child’s dangerous toy.
“This kind of fruit knife isn’t very sharp.
It’s meant for cutting fruit in the kitchen or preparing baby food, but it’s still too dangerous for a little kid like you.”
Miyano Shiho felt insulted all over again.
*He’s actually mocking my weapon, saying it’s only fit for cutting baby food?*
*What a vicious attack.*
But right now, Miyano Shiho was like a furnace, radiating heat all over.
She felt like she was burning up, completely unable to display any aggression toward Shouichi.
She could only curl up in Shouichi’s arms like a little kitten.
Shouichi touched the little loli’s forehead.
It was burning hot.
Suddenly, Shouichi bent down and picked up a card from the ground.
Miyano Shiho’s heart skipped another beat.
“Why do you have my business card?” Shouichi looked at the little loli.
Miyano Shiho pursed her lips, not saying a word.
Another clue proving her identity had been discovered.
This was the business card this guy had stuffed into her clothes just today, and he found it so quickly.
*To think that a casual action from that guy would become the fatal factor in my recapture.*
*Sure enough, fate has never been on my side.*
It was over.
Miyano Shiho could already imagine her miserable end.
For some reason, she suddenly let out a small smile.
*Dying like this is fine too.
I can finally go keep my sister company.*
“Ah!
I get it!” Shouichi suddenly shouted in pleasant surprise.
Miyano Shiho slumped dejectedly against Shouichi.
*Did he only just guess my identity now?*
*Well, that makes sense.
After all, the concept of reverting to childhood is too shocking.
It’s only natural he wouldn’t think of it immediately.*
“You definitely want to come home with me, right?”
Miyano Shiho: “Huh!?”
Without leaving any room for argument, Shouichi scooped the little loli up and walked toward the car.
“Running over for a hug the moment we meet, giving me a fruit knife as a welcoming gift, and most importantly, you actually had my business card in your pocket.
“You must be at a dead end and want to seek refuge with me, right?
“Do even kids this small know my reputation as Shouichi, the charitable savior and timely rain?”
He settled the little loli into the back seat, completely unbothered by the rainwater on her body soaking the car’s seats and interior.
Shouichi used a towel he had just bought at the convenience store to wipe the water from the little loli’s head, saying softly, “Since you’re taking the initiative, come home with me.”
“I…”
“Be good, we’ll be home soon.” Shouichi pinched the little loli’s cheek.
Miyano Shiho: *Huh??*
The car drove through the dark night.
Miyano Shiho, struggling to sit up, could still see the Men in Black on the streets searching for people.
And this Porsche was brazenly weaving right through them.
Exhaustion and discomfort tormented the little loli.
Taking one last look at Shouichi, Miyano Shiho’s willpower finally gave out, and she collapsed onto the back seat, falling fast asleep.
*Whatever happens, happens.
The worst-case scenario is just going to accompany my sister anyway.*
That was the little loli’s last thought before losing consciousness.
The car arrived at a villa.
He carried the little loli out of the car.
Because it was inconvenient to hold an umbrella, he inevitably got splattered with raindrops.
“Mr.
Shouichi, welcome back.”
“Yeah, get a clean set of clothes ready for me,” Shouichi said to the maid who opened the door.
“Ah, wait a second.
Call a doctor over first, and then go give this little one a bath.
She’s completely soaked.”
“Right away.”
The maid respectfully went to carry out Shouichi’s orders, not asking any unnecessary questions.
Placing the little loli on the sofa, Shouichi also took off his trench coat.
*Hmm, I bought this trench coat for one million yen.
Now it’s ruined because I got soaked carrying the little loli.
When she gets some money, she has to pay me back.*
*How much did I buy it for again?
I don’t remember.*
*Let’s just put it on her tab as seven hundred thousand yen.*
*She also got the sofa, the floor, and the Porsche wet.*
*Cleaning all that up will cost a lot of money, plus the doctor’s fees, the medication, and the little maid’s labor fee…
I’ll just bill the little loli eight hundred thousand yen for that.*
*A total bill of 1.5 million yen.
I hope this little loli won’t default on her debt.*
Lying on the sofa with a flushed face, Miyano Shiho had no idea she had already racked up such a massive debt.
