July 7, Orange House.

"That's right, this place is well done." Hotaru held a half-beaten sweater in her hand, and looked at Ash Hara, who was sitting across from her, also knitting a small sweater. "That way, you don't feel uncomfortable underarms or limited movement."

Although Hotaru sometimes needs to do something for her brother, most of the time she has full freedom, so she visits Tachibana with a lot of small gifts.

Of course, the main implication of this is a little apology.

Thinking of this, Hotaru glanced at a door upstairs - Fujiwara had also arrived, and was now teaching Mitsuhiko and Motota to play Texas Hold'em, which was quite popular in the United States.

"Huh?" Sitting next to Ash Hara, Ayumi looked at the sweater in her hand that was also half-formed (but the armpit part didn't go very well) with some strange eyes. "Why do I always feel a little weird?"

"......" Hotaru looked at it for a moment and found the problem. Xiao Ai, you can show her, you should be able to see what the problem is. ”

"There's a missing needle here, right?" Ash Yuan replied immediately. "There are two missing stitches here, so this row of wires is a little deformed."

"What then?" Ayumi was obviously in a hurry. "I broke QAQ"

"Don't worry," Hotaru smiled and put down the needle in her hand and touched Ayumi's head. "The place where the needle leaks is very close to your current progress, just remove this part and re-weave~"

Looking at the gray hara who was guiding Ayumi to remove the needle on the side, Hotaru's eyes showed a trace of pity.

The FBI exchanged information that they did not pick up the little girl from their home and did not rescue their companions - they disposed of it themselves.

If it weren't for the FBI's large force to attack in time, with the current situation they observed at the time, this little girl might have been taken back to the stronghold by the organization and executed.

This conclusion can be reached considering that Belmode had mentioned the topic of possible execution with a 17-year-old person (see Chapter 349, where Belmode and the transmissible Fujiwara communicated in French) when he communicated with others.

The real Icewine has probably been found and executed by the Order, and the two little guys are only related to Icewine, so they almost killed their innocents.

They do have a relationship with the organization, but they are not a valuable relationship, so the two of them should no longer be the object of the National Police Agency's efforts - not to mention that the Metropolitan Police Department seems to have raised objections to their superiors, and Hotaru's brother was also reminded by his superiors during a routine report to "don't affect unrelated people"

Against this backdrop, the National Police Agency abandoned further investigation of Chiba and Ashbara and labeled them as "accidental involvement"

And with Hotaru, who was a little ashamed of their behavior before, he found Fujiwara.

……………………

"Come with me to meet those two little ones, how about it?" Lying on a single bed in the hotel, Hotaru gently moved Fujiwara's arm with one hand, holding herself in the arms of Fujiwara. "Those two little kids who were involved in the battle between us."

After dating for so long, the two of them already know each other's identities, so Hotaru saying this now didn't cause too many surprises to Fujiwara.

"Give me a reason," Fujiwara raised an eyebrow, stroking Hotaru's body and squeezing his arms. "You're going to find their reasons."

"We've officially put those two little ones on the safe list," Hotaru put her arms at her sides, letting Fujiwara do what he wanted to do. "So, in this regard, we can stop having such pointless fights - if there is no conflict, I still like that little girl."

Fujiwara stopped what he was doing and raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

"......" Hotaru turned, letting her body rub against Fujiwara's chest. Sounds like those two little guys are still related to you? ”

"That's right," Fujiwara didn't hide. "I know you're not going to say it anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. Although they are no longer part of the organization, they were once part of it. ”

During the period of dating Hotaru, in fact, both of them have a plan to eat the other side at once - directly find an opportunity to control each other, so that they can force the other party to comply, and then become a double agent.

But out of rather subtle personal wishes, neither of them chose this way, but remained tired of being together, as if the other party did not know who they were, and they did not know who the other person was. It's just that sometimes it's quite elegant.,It's not so much that it doesn't tear your face at all to carry out all kinds of confrontations.。

So they all know very well that at least if they only reveal some small things that are quite trivial to the forces behind the two sides, the other party will only regard these words as a private communication between the two people, completely separate from the information they have stolen with their skills, and will not report to the characters behind the scenes at all.

They may not have the same pure love as ordinary lovers, but they have tacitly signed a limited war treaty with each other in terms of confrontation with the Police Agency and the organization, so that each can at least enjoy each other's pleasure while they are together.

Anyway, even if you try to fight, you can't make any money from the other party, so it's better to compromise with each other, isn't it?

"Huh," the corners of Hotaru's mouth curled slightly. "Forget it, the two little ones probably won't be in your mastermind's speech anyway, so I don't know—anyway, how about accompanying me to see them? It would be nice to give them a visit to their young hearts that have been frightened by us. ”

"Whatever."

……………………

Continuing to teach Ai and Ayumi the skills of making sweaters, the corners of Hotaru's mouth were slightly hooked - a well-behaved little girl like this is really quite cute, and there will be a natural sense of pleasure with such a child.

Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly.

“？” Gray Plains raised his eyebrows. "Someone now?"

Tachibana has a house key, so it's definitely not him...... So who's calling the door?

"Who?" Gray Yuan Ai turned on the walkie-talkie and asked.

"Huh?" A stunned voice came from the other side. "Excuse me, is this 2-chome 20 in Rice Flower Town?"

"Yes," Gray Plains replied. "You are?"

"Huh? Oh, that's fine......" said the other side. "I sent it by mistake, I should have sent it to 1-chome 20 land."

After speaking, he took the initiative to hang up the intercom.

"......" Gray Yuan frowned, always feeling that something was not right.
