Although Kasuga Chinatsu showed a rare excited smile, she pushed the doll back to Kuriyama Mai with force.
"This is a limited quantity. I think its owner must be very anxious. Are you such a fool that you just picked it up without asking around?"
After she finished speaking, she brushed the long shiny black hair on her shoulders and sighed softly, "Today's club mission is to find a way to find the owner~"
Looking at Kasuga Chinatsu's troubled look, Kuriyama Mai felt that she was a little more cute. He thought that her sanity would be completely defeated by the cute doll.
"No need to look for it, because I can see the owner..."
Kuriyama Mai said with a mysterious face, but Kasuga Chinatsu interrupted him simply, "Then why don't you return it?"
The crystal clear almond eyes stared at him.
Kuriyama Mai spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, "Don't worry, this is a very sad story. This is the 'liveliness' I accidentally saw on my morning jog."
"The owner wanted to give this doll to a girl, but the girl didn't accept it and severely rejected his confession."
"Then what?" Kasuga Chinatsu asked thoughtfully, her clear face full of doubts.
"Then the owner took out his anger on the doll, threw it to the ground, and said frustrating words like 'It's all your fault'."
"Then I, the Chosen One, came on the scene. I saw him throwing the doll to the side of the road. Seeing that it was new and cute, I ran over and picked it up."
"I loudly asked him if he wanted more, or if he didn't want to take it away, I asked him kindly, but he scolded him, 'Get that unfortunate thing as far away as you can.'"
The more Kuriyama Mai talked, the more excited he became, as if he had completely become a part of his fictional story.
"So, Minister, today's club task can be changed to a different one~"
Kuriyama Mai said as he handed the doll to her again.
This time, although the force of her pushback was weakened, she still said with a sense of irony:
"The story is really well written!"
"Editor?" Kuriyama Mai thought about it again, not knowing where his loopholes were.
Kasuga Chinatsu's face was like Tokyo in spring, changing at any time. She glared at Kuriyama Mugi in shame and cursed:
"Liar! Big liar! Big fool!"
[Heartbeat value +500 points]
How could this woman be so excited and yelling at herself at the same time?
"What did you lie to?"
Even though she might know, the truth about last night could never come out of his mouth, so Kuriyama Mai chose to continue to act stupid.
"The red blood in your eyes has given you away!"
"Besides, who would confess their love early in the morning? Did you buy a gift and ask a girl to confess your love for breakfast? You idiot!"
Kasuga Chinatsu said fiercely, but her cheeks were slightly blushed.
She pushed Lingna Bell back with all her strength, her little face immediately turned away, and her slender and smooth hair blocked her expression.
"You don't have to do this, because it is the minister's obligation to help the members..."
"And this is nothing more than a hype routine designed to attract attention..."
Speaking of this, she secretly glanced at Lina Bell in Kuriyama Mai's arms, "So you can take it."
She really saw through it, and her character was as awkward as her sister said, but Kuriyama Mai still said with a relaxed look:
"Minister, don't think too much~ I just thought your dolls were a bit interesting last night, and I just happened to get the news about the sale, so I went to line up."
Kasuga Chinatsu glanced at Lina Bell again, but noticed Kuriyama Mai's smiling face, and she didn't know how to respond.
"This guy likes to make his own decisions, and he doesn't know how to be polite at all. He seems frivolous and unreliable, but why..."
Kasuga Chinatsu suddenly couldn't figure out her own heart, and her voice lost its usual confidence and calmness. Instead, she said hesitantly:
"This...is not good..."
Seeing that her attitude finally relaxed, Kuriyama Mai quickly added fuel to the fire and said:
"I will come to your house often in the future, so I want to put something in your house that can make me feel better. Minister, can you grant my wish?"
Kasuga Chinatsu finally turned her head and stared seriously into his eyes, showing a gentle expression that she didn't usually see.
"This is okay..."
Kuriyama Mai pushed Lina Bell in her hand into her arms. This time she finally did not refuse and hugged her tightly even through the transparent vacuum packaging bag.
Kasuga Chinatsu's expression became quite soft, and her eyes and eyebrows arched.
"Since you said you wanted to keep it at my house, I won't give it back to you."
A soft smile bloomed on her cold cheeks, and Kuriyama Mai felt particularly healed.
"It doesn't matter, I will come to see it often."
"Often?" Kasuga Chinatsu was stunned, and suddenly remembered what this guy just said...
Her face, which had just cleared up from the heavy rain, was once again filled with typhoon, and her voice returned to its usual confidence.
"Hmph! You lie and are rude! You still want to come to my house more often!"
"And..." Kasuga Chinatsu took two exaggerated steps back and covered her mouth and nose with one hand, "It stinks! You didn't take a shower last night, and you're covered in stinky sweat again this morning!"
"Go take a bath quickly!"
She gave ultimatums like an Edo killer.
Kuriyama Mai could only deal with it with a silly smile.
"Then please prepare a towel for me, Minister. The one that smells like you is the best~"
Kasuga Chinatsu hugged the puppet in her arms tighter and looked at him with disgust:
"The pervert is back...disgusting, disgusting!"
"Get out of here and take a shower!"
Kuriyama Maiya continued to chat with the girl, quickly changed her shoes and ran to the bathroom.
"The towels are hanging outside the door. I'll go cook and leave you alone~"
Even through the bathroom door, Kuriyama Mai could hear the irrepressible joy in her voice. It seemed that she really liked that doll.
This can be regarded as protecting a small dream, and he felt happy from the bottom of his heart under the shower.

National Central Hospital, in a VIP ward
Nakamura slowly opened his eyes. He saw that he was not missing any arms or legs, but he felt a sense of joy about surviving the disaster.
His brain was unusually clear at this time. After reviewing his actions over the past two days, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
That night Kuriyama Mai was definitely tied up tightly, unless someone could help him untie it, and the eldest lady was the only one in the car he was sitting in...
And she was the only one who could make Huang Mao accurately find Gao Shanjian's location...
Thinking back to what the Kashiwahara family's bodyguard said last night about 'cleaning up the house', maybe this was a scene directed and acted by the young lady from beginning to end...
Nakamura's brain was thinking rapidly when a sound of high heels suddenly came from outside the ward. Who was it? He couldn't help but feel nervous inside.
It was Mitsui Kanon who walked in with two maids in professional attire.
She was wearing a simple black dress, her long hair was neatly tied up, and her aura was like that of an angel of justice who came to judge him.
From her frosty face, Lao Jianghu Nakamura couldn't read any emotion.
On the bed, he hurriedly unplugged the various monitors on his body, struggled to get up, and apologized respectfully:
"Miss, I am incompetent..."
Mitsui Kanon only raised her hand slightly, and Nakamura immediately shut up knowingly.
"Nakamura-san, please take good care of yourself. You won't have to worry about frontline work anymore."
There was no emotion in her clean voice.
"Thank you, Miss..."
Nakamura's voice was trembling a little. The eldest lady was far more mature than he thought. She might have all the 'nails' in him uprooted, and the reason was so legitimate that he would not give any excuse...
Mitsui Kanon asked the maid to leave condolences in the ward, and then moved to Takayama Ken's ward next door.
"Gaoshan-san, you worked hard last night."
Takayama Ken who was in the hospital bed saw Mitsui Kanon coming to visit him in person. He quickly jumped up from the bed and greeted him respectfully:
"You're sorry, Miss. My subordinates just did what they were supposed to do within their responsibilities."
"That guy values you very much." Mitsui Kanon changed the subject, "I'll leave it to you to handle something."
"Yes!" Gao Shanjian agreed neatly.
Mitsui Kanon nodded, put her hand on her chin, and a soft light finally flashed in the depths of her cold eyes:
"It's just that in terms of treatment, Gao Shansang still needs to be patient for a while. We can't promote you immediately."
Takayama Ken knew in his heart that those who followed Nakamura on the mission yesterday would definitely be 'purged'.
If he is singled out for promotion at this time, it will be a target that will be attacked by all parties.
After Mitsui Kanon finished the task, she blessed Takayama Ken in a light tone:
"I wish you happy cooperation in the future~"
"I promise not to disappoint the eldest lady!"
After saying that, Mitsui Kanon gracefully ended the visit and walked out of the ward. There were other preparations waiting for her to handle.
I hope that guy can bring her some surprises. For the time being, she doesn't have many cards to play, and the new recruits are also at risk of being tricked by her second uncle.
After walking out of the hospital, feeling the ray of sunshine falling under the blue sky, Mitsui Kanon's voice echoed in her mind.
"I hope your ability is as tough as your mouth~"
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and with a longing for the future, she stepped into the long-awaited luxury car.

"Xiaohua has really grown up~" Looking at the information from Nakamura, Mitsui Yusuke sneered and sighed.
She just used a chess piece named 'Kuriyama Mai' to uproot all the eyeliners he had placed around her.
"interesting!"
But what surprised him the most was why the Kashiwahara family took action at this time?
Is it more in their interests to let the useless big brother stay in front of the stage?
Or is it a test of one's own control?
Or is it that the Kashiwara family is no longer monolithic?
Mitsui Yusuke was a little confused for a moment, but when his eyes fell on Kuriyama Mai's photo, it had the same hair color as Kashiwahara Chiharu...
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, "Could he be a 'bastard'?"
