"I feel more and more that it's impossible to understand your thoughts."
Belmode, who was invited to the baseball field, saw Asakura Makoto, who was fully armed and holding a bat in his hand and swinging it seriously, with an expression of resignation on his face.
"How to say?"
Seeing her arrival, Asakura put the bat on the ground like a cane and raised an eyebrow in reply.
"You actually have free time to practice baseball?" Is the work of the organization too leisurely?
Belmod didn't say the second half of the sentence.
She observed the environment of the venue. It was a standard commercial baseball practice field, with green barbed wire dividing it into independent areas.
The one they were in now was the only one that was used.
"There's no one else on weekdays. Did you book the venue?"
After looking at it for a moment, she consciously walked to the place where the pitching machine was supposed to be installed. There was a basket of balls there. When she contacted Brandy for a special invitation, it was obvious what she was going to do next.
"No, this is a property in my name. It's just closed for one day in the name of maintenance."
Seeing that Belmode began to wear protective gear, Asakura was also ready to hit the ball.
"It's just a casual remark that makes people jealous." While speaking, he threw a ball.
"Peng——"
The ball that was hit back by the bat drew a straight line in mid-air and hit the boundary wire fence hard, with a dull sound echoing.
With this sound, Belmode continued to serve.
"So, why am I here? It can't just be to be your sparring partner, right?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do? Originally, I planned to ask Gin for help, but he refused." Asakura's swinging movements are quite standard, and his years of idleness have not made his skills decline.
"Let Gin be your sparring partner?"
Belmode couldn't imagine what it would be like for that guy who was always dressed in black to stand in her position.
It must be interesting to see Gin acting like a pitcher with a straight face.
"No, we're going to the amusement park together."
"ha??"
At that moment, the witch felt that there must be something wrong with her ears.
"What?"
"Amusement park, Dorobika, the one I bought a few years ago."
"No, I mean..." The information was so shocking that Belmode stopped what he was doing without even realizing it. Hey, you two notoriously notorious cadres are teaming up. amusement park?
She wanted to guess whether there was a certain big customer who asked for gin and brandy together, but thinking about it carefully, it was different from the past, and not just anyone could afford the price.
Could it be that--
Amid the urging of Asakura from the opposite side, Bermod held the ball stiffly while recalling the past. Brandy seemed to have spread rumors about gin and vodka in the organization. At that time, she only thought it was the former's bad taste. Now that she thinks about it, Isn't this paving the way for the present?
It’s really suspicious to invite Gin to an amusement park for no reason!
Asakura Zhen didn’t know what Belmode was thinking.
He only knew that his appearance had completely changed the fate of the protagonist in the original history and robbed Kudo Shinichi of many opportunities. He felt that he should act a little guilty. Even if he couldn't do anything, he should at least have the greatest impact on Kudo and help him grow. The events that provide the most help remain as they are -
Inviting Gin is to provide Kudo Shinichi with the most restored user experience.
Unfortunately, Gin chose to refuse, which cast a shadow over Asakura's plan before it even started.
To make up for it, he spent time practicing his swing here at this moment, trying to restore the impact that Kudo Shinichi should have felt to the greatest extent.
It's so kind of me to think so hard.
As Asakura mama swung the bat, he felt a little touched by his dedication——
In the future, when Kudo Shinichi gets lucky and becomes famous and has many fans, as the owner of Dorobiga Amusement Park, he might be able to use this opportunity to open an attraction called Kudo Shinichi's Sap Place.
"call."
Belmod took a deep breath and stopped his racing thoughts. He thought too much and almost forgot what he should ask.
"Then why do I just come to the driving range? Can't I accompany you to the amusement park?" If you want to choose a companion to go to a place like an amusement park, a normal man would choose Belmode instead of a piano bar?
Oh, by the way, Brandy can't be considered a normal person.
never mind.
Before she could answer, she convinced herself.
Taking advantage of Asakura's arms being strong and silent, she changed the question: "And for this kind of thing, wouldn't it be more convenient to just find a ball server?"
After pitching steadily for a while, Belmod's arm was slightly sore. Although her physical fitness was good, it was still a bit unbearable to do the same action for a long time.
"Just find a ball machine?"
Who knew that as soon as her question came out, Asakura's tone and tone changed 180 degrees.
A few seconds ago, he was chatting happily about the amusement park, but in the blink of an eye he became solemn and serious.
"Peng----"
A louder crashing sound floated in the practice field, and Belmode realized that Brandy had never used his full strength.
At this moment, she had bad thoughts.
"The ball machine will not work with..." Asakura paused slightly. In the past, he usually called Miyano Shiho as "Miss Miyano", "Ms. Miyano", and "Shirley". These are nouns for which no preference can be heard.
Here, he felt that if he wanted to send a misleading signal, he had to change his name.
"The ball machine doesn't tell my girl if she has it or not."
Here comes the topic.
Upon hearing these words, Belmod immediately knew the reason why Brandy specially asked her to replace the ball server. In the monitoring room, her previous attempts to chastise Miyano Shiho were too obvious, but now she came specifically to chastise her.
"Your girl?" Naturally, Belmode would not give in directly. She has been around for so many years and has a temper. "You are almost twice her age, so show some respect."
She knew her weakness was in Brandy's hands.
But based on her understanding of this guy, he would reveal his disguised good intentions only when the person being threatened really couldn't understand the situation clearly.
Just like his domestication of Miyano Shiho.
He never said that if you don't cooperate with the research, the organization will torture your sister. He prefers to put this tacit knowledge in a place where both parties can know, and then seemingly kindly weaves options for her to escape this incident. .
Choice after choice continues to penetrate the lower limit of the subject, and finally makes him voluntarily become what Brandy wants.
Miyano Shiho, who has experienced all this, is not only willing to conduct research, but also foolishly thinks about the goodness of brandy.
Belmode knew very well that what was about to happen to him would be a replica of what happened to Miyano Shiho.
Of course - she is more experienced than Miyano Shiho and knows exactly how to deal with Brandy's methods.
Why did Scotland and Kiel directly choose to lie down after being pinched by Brandy? That is, as long as they can't bear the pain and let go of the handle being pinched, lying down is the best way. You can obey and work, but you want me to agree with your approach from the bottom of my heart. no.
However, choosing this method is also a helpless move, which is equivalent to voluntarily admitting defeat. After all, once you lie down, the purpose of driving you with brandy has been achieved, and you will have no control over what you do.
In fact, lying down can only delay the process. The moment you don't choose to bear the pain and give up, it's like a car falling from a cliff. It can't stop until it falls to pieces.
Belmode knew this, but she felt that... she should at least struggle.
Any fish that bites the hook can fight the fisherman for several rounds, so there is no reason why she should give up so easily.
