Like the "God of Death" fortune teller on another portrait in the hall, Kimiko Arai is also covered in luxury brands designed by Aide Company.
Her earrings, necklaces, and suits all have the heart-shaped logo of Aide's design theme this year. She doesn't know whether they are limited editions...
Karasumaying doesn't quite understand the psychology of this fanatical pursuit of the so-called "sensation of high quality".
Her grandfather taught her since she was a child that every ounce of strength she exerts must be put into practice, and she must not make wasteful and stupid actions.
In her opinion, this so-called pursuit is essentially a boring waste, and it has no meaning except to make her inner desires more indulgent.
"Ah! I still can't see clearly! Do I need to change my glasses again?!"
In the room, Kimiko Arai didn't seem to notice the people coming in. She flipped the book in her hand irritably and complained loudly.
"Well, he seems to be a person who gets angry easily..." Suzuki Sonoko was startled and complained in a low voice.
"Kimiko."
Daijiro Arai stepped forward and patted Kimiko on the shoulder.
"What?!" Kimiko raised her head and shouted impatiently. Due to Arai Daijiro's size, she did not see the people standing by the iron gate.
"Calm down, guests are coming."
"I told you! I won't see guests without reservations!"
"It's Ms. Suzuki from before, and her friends."
"Ms. Suzuki?!"
At this time, Arai Daijiro stepped aside, and Suzuki Sonoko behind him also said hello to her in a timely manner.
"Um, black miko-sensei, good afternoon..."
"Oh! It turns out to be Ms. Suzuki!"
Kimiko pushed up her glasses, and after seeing Suzuki Sonoko's face clearly, she quickly stood up and stepped forward, holding her hand enthusiastically.
"Really, since you've already made an appointment, why don't you just come to me directly? These are Miss Suzuki's friends, right? Okay, stop standing, come in and sit down... Daijiro, get the stool quickly come over."
"Huh? Well, no need, we ourselves..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Come on, please sit down. I wonder what Miss Suzuki wants me to divine?"
"Uh, um, love..."
Behind her, Suzuki Ayako watched this scene, turned to look at Qing Shuijing beside her, smiled and sighed:
"Jingjun, the garden is still so popular..."
Hearing this, Qing Shuijing just nodded slightly, her eyes still fixed on Kimiko Arai who was doing a divination for Suzuki Sonoko.
【Is it her? She looks like just an ordinary old woman...]
never mind……
Anyway, she was not asked to kill him, she was just here to confirm the situation at the scene...
"Jingjun, are we going to do some divination later?"
Seeing Qing Shuijing staring at Kimiko, Suzuki Ayako asked softly.
"I don't think we'll need this kind of divination."
Qing Shuijing raised her hand to hold the hair from her face, her voice was gentle.
"Well, that's right..."
Perhaps because there were younger friends here, Suzuki Ayako was a little shy. She lowered her head and pulled Shimizu to sit on a chair in the corner.
"Then let's wait for them here, shall we?"
"good."
On the other side, Kimiko's divination of Suzuki Sonoko has ended. She asked Suzuki Sonoko to take back her hand on the crystal ball, still with that bright smile on her face.
"Miss Suzuki, fate tells me that your future husband has actually met you."
"Huh? Have you met before?!"
Suzuki Sonoko was so surprised that she stood up subconsciously, her tone a little nervous.
"That, that, he, he, he..."
"Destiny says that he is a very good man, and in the near future, fate will lead him to meet you again..."
"Really, really?!"
"The guidance of fate is absolutely true."
"Hey hey hey... in the near future? Hey hey hey..."
Looking like a nymphomaniac, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly turned around, grabbed Karasuma Ying and Mao Lilan, and shouted happily:
"Xiaolan Aying! I think the black witch's divination is very accurate! You guys should also do divination!"
"Uh, that..."
"good."
Gently squeezing Mao Lilan's hand, which was still hesitating, Karasumaying nodded first, and then sat on the chair opposite Kimiko.
Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko is so happy, Karasuma Ying doesn't want to disappoint her. She just hopes that her best friend can use the psychological hints of this divination to really find her favorite candidate in the near future...
"Miss Ying, what are you trying to divine?" Kimiko asked Karasuma Ying with a smile as she put her hand on the crystal ball.
She naturally wanted to entertain Ms. Suzuki’s friends well.
"Well...then let's go to the future." After thinking for a while, Karasumaying replied.
She doesn't need to divine love, and she doesn't seem to have much pursuit of wealth or dreams, and it's hard to say what she really wants to ask, so she can only give a general statement like "the future."
"The future?"
Kimiko did not find it difficult to deal with Karasuma Ying's question. Kimiko still raised her hands and began to "cast spells" on the crystal ball. She closed her eyes and muttered some spells quickly in her mouth.
Then not long after, she stopped and looked at Karasuma Ying with some embarrassment.
"Miss Ying, fate tells me that your future is full of mist."
"Huh?" Karasuma Ying was stunned, a little surprised.
Mist?
Shouldn't it be a cliche that the future is open and the future is bright?
"Yes, fate says that there is a very powerful force around you. Although you haven't discovered it yet, Miss Ying, it will have an impact on your future all the time.
The fog of this power covers your future, and even your destiny is difficult to see clearly, and the real direction depends on your heart..."
Listening to Kimiko's specious words, Karasumaying's eyes gradually became serious as she looked at her. Even Shimizu Shizu, who was sitting behind her, also looked over at this moment, with a trace of surprise flashing deep in her eyes.
[Is it a coincidence? 】
After comparing Kimiko's words with the things around her, Karasumaying's heart was already in turmoil.
[The future, the fog, the heart... should be just coincidences, right? 】
"Amazing!"
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly shouted excitedly:
"The mist and the future! This goes so well with your detective identity, A-ying!"
Find the only future that exists in the fog! I! It’s the world’s strongest female high school detective, Karasuma Ei! "
"detective?"
Listening to the words of Suzuki Sonoko who was still posing, Kimiko was suddenly surprised and looked at Karasuma Ying in front of her in surprise.
"Miss Ying, you, are you a detective?"
"That's right! Aying is currently the most powerful high school female detective in Japan!"
"Um, Yuanzi, stop talking..." Karasuma Ying's face was slightly red, and she pulled the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly.
"I see, it turns out that Miss Ying is the Karasuma detective who often appears in the police newspapers recently..."
Kimiko pushed up her glasses. She seemed to finally recognize Karasuma Ying's identity. She hesitated and said tentatively:
"Well, Miss Ying, I wonder if I can entrust you with something..."
After her words fell, Qing Shuijing looked at her again in the corner of the room, eyes narrowed slightly.
Deep in his eyes, the quiet murderous intent flashed through.
