Let’s not see how the Akai family reacts to losing their connection with Sera Masumi.
Here in Belmod, life is going smoothly.
"Brandy, I'm working hard for your plan." Belmode was lying on the sofa, leaning on the armrest while talking to the person on the other side of the phone, "Don't you agree to reimburse such a small amount of money? "
"Work hard? This sentence coming from your mouth is really unconvincing."
After dealing with Sera Masumi's matter, Asakura took a short rest and then contacted Belmode, who had come to the UK a long time ago——
"If what I say is not credible, then just find someone who is credible to prove it."
Belmode was particularly concerned about eating and drinking on public funds. She lifted her calf from Miyano Akemi's lap sitting on the other side of the sofa, changed from lying down to sitting, and put the phone in her hand next to Miyano Akemi's ear.
"Here, tell Brandy how hard I've been working these days."
She looked calmly into Miyano Akemi's eyes and conveyed her intention to cooperate with her eyes.
Miyano Akemi looked at Belmode with this appearance...I don't know how to describe it. If this was talking about business, then her eyes at this moment could be called profound and wise, but what she is doing now , to deceive Brandy into agreeing to reimburse the consumption of these days... How come the cadres in the organization are no different from the sneaky employees in outside companies, and they all want to embezzle public funds?
Under the faintly threatening gaze, Miyano Akemi testified for Bermod without going against her will - after all, in her vision, Bermod would still go out in disguise regularly, and every time she went out, she would always talk about investigating. As for the situation, whether the real purpose is for fun or work is obviously not something she can figure out.
"Really?" Asakura answered on the phone. At the same time, a knock on the door suddenly rang.
This sudden sound made the two women in the room instantly alert——
They have a special status, but no one interacts with them. They usually live in seclusion and will not interact with outsiders at all.
It's very suspicious that someone comes to your door under such circumstances.
Belmod thrust the phone into Miyano Akemi's hand, took out a pistol and walked to the door. He used the peephole on the door to peek at the people outside. The person who came was a strange-looking man in his thirties, standing there. He looked casual and unarmed. He was talking on the phone with one hand and knocking on the door with the other.
While observing the appearance of the man outside the door, Belmode waved to Miyano Akemi and motioned her to leave along the pre-arranged evacuation route.
But after waiting for a while, she noticed that Miyano Akemi not only did not leave, but came to her side——
Don't play the trick of leaving together at this time.
This was Belmod's first reaction. As for why she was the first to react to this stupid scene that theoretically could only happen between people with deep feelings - the reason is unknown.
"That." Miyano Akemi covered the phone receiver and whispered to Belmod: "The brandy is outside."
"..."
At this news, Belmod's expression froze, first doubtful, then doubtful, and finally became sinister as if he had figured something out.
"You get out of the way first. I have something to discuss with Brandy."
The expression on her face when she said this made Miyano Akemi see such a fake smile for the first time on Belmode, an actor with a palace-level acting skills.
At that moment, Miyano Akemi felt a chill in her heart, silently hung up the phone and handed it back, and quickly returned to the room.
After the door closed, Belmod adjusted the expression on his face, opened the door, and welcomed in Brandy who was standing outside the door.
After walking in the door, Brandy glanced around the layout of the house. The overall style was very simple, and most of the items were new. There were traces of use in the kitchen, and there were also sofas... The traces on them showed that someone had just laid down here, so The free movement was not something Miyano Akemi could do while being stared at by Belmode.
"Sit down first. Do you want some fruit?"
After welcoming the brandy in, Belmode walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen, opened the door of the refrigerator room, rummaged around and asked.
"Just order whatever you want." Zhen Asakura sat down in the corner of the sofa and continued to observe the items in the room - with his eyesight and the prices of various items currently appearing here, the total sum would not be reimbursed by Belmod. one-fifth of the amount.
"Only apples are left."
Belmode dragged the apples on a tray, stood behind the back of the sofa, leaned next to Asakura Makoto and pushed the tray onto the coffee table, and then when she turned around and stood up——
"Can you explain it?"
Asakura really felt that the cold muzzle of the gun was pressing against the back of his head. What was colder than the muzzle was Belmod's tone.
"Explain what?"
Asakura picked up an apple, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. It was very crisp and juicy.
"You shouldn't have developed this disguise yourself, right?"
After seeing the stranger outside the door and the fact that he called himself Brandy, Belmod easily deduced that Brandy had mastered the art of disguise.
Then, while passing the fruit plate just now, she got closer and confirmed that Brandy's disguise skills were exactly the same as hers. It was obvious that they were from the same school.

"Of course I'm asking others for advice like you. So, I should call you...senior sister, okay?" Asakura shrugged and said indifferently.
"When did you learn that?"
Belmod's focus was elsewhere. In the past two years, Brandy had exerted great pressure on her ability to disguise herself, and even came to her to disguise herself in the middle of the night.
Her teacher Kuroba Toichi has been dead for many years, and Asakura could only learn the relevant skills before then. In other words, he will definitely be disguised in these years.
Are you going to exploit me again?
"You weren't willing to teach me before, so I found a teacher myself. The specific time should be..."
Asakura Makoto revealed the time when he learned to disguise himself. This time was, of course, after Kuroba Toichi's official death time.
"I know, I know." Before Belmode asked, he answered the other person's question first while chewing on an apple, "Those guys can also be considered part of my credit, including saving a magician who was persecuted by them. Doesn’t it seem strange?”
After hearing this, Belmode hesitated for a moment, put away his pistol, walked to the other end of the sofa, and chose the place furthest away from Brandy to sit down.
"Then why don't you stop pretending now? You can continue to pretend, right?"
she asked coldly.
"Of course it's because in my planned future, there is one thing that requires your wholehearted help. Explaining my matter openly and honestly first will allow you to make a choice that is beneficial to me at the right time."
"That matter, if I don't agree to you now, will you get rid of me in this border island country?" Suddenly discovering that Brandy has the same ability to disguise herself, Belmode's mood can be said to be extremely bad. She knew in her mind that the possibility was low, but that didn't stop her from questioning Asakura Makoto, "That's why you insisted on me following Miyano Akemi here, so that you who are far away from the headquarters can quietly come and deal with me."
"How is that possible? I came here with permission from the boss. Secondly, I have prepared a condition for you that you cannot refuse."
Asakura is confident in his chips.
Belmode knew that Brandy could not lie about the boss's permission in front of her, who was close to the boss, so she focused her attention directly on the second half of the sentence.
"Huh? What's the offer that I can't refuse?"
She was curious.
"It's very simple. There is another woman in this room. As long as you promise me, I will give her to you."
When he first heard this sentence, Belmode thought for a while what it meant - he obviously understood it, but the meaning in his mind was extremely inconsistent, what did it mean to give her another woman.
After a few breaths.
"Huh?" The woman laughed sarcastically, "You can tell me such ridiculous conditions, why should I agree to your request for a woman named Miyano?"
