When Kazuha and the others returned home, Heiji had already finished showering and had fallen asleep leaning on the sofa.
"Shh~~"
Kazuha stopped Sonoko's call, walked over with light footsteps, looked at his peaceful sleeping face, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"I'll go get a blanket."
Sonoko said in a whisper.
"No need, go shower quickly."
Heiji opened his eyes and smiled at the two girls.
"Heiji, sorry, I didn't buy late-night snacks."
Kazuha stood by the side, her face full of apology.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry anyway."
"I'll go make some simple food."
Ran walked to the kitchen to prepare something for Heiji to eat.
"Ran, I'll help you."
Kazuha followed closely behind.
"Heiji, if you are sleepy, go back to the room. I will call you up when Kazuha and Ran are done cooking." Sonoko looked distressed; Heiji seemed very tired.
Heiji nodded: "Mm, you guys hurry up and go shower too."
Vermouth and Yukiko watched quietly from the side. Regarding the couple mode of the three of them being so harmonious, they could only marvel at Heiji's ability and the girls' broad-mindedness.
That night, Kazuha and Sonoko were worried about Heiji, so they slept in the same bed again.
Vermouth's room.
"Gin, the Night Baron appeared in New York."
Vermouth leaned on the bed, wearing earphones, swirling the red wine in her hand.
"Has nothing to do with us."
Gin's voice was still cold and ruthless.
"I need you to help me check his background, and where he first appeared. Moreover, today he even escaped under the attack of armed helicopters, yet no equipment was seen on his body."
On the other end of the phone, Gin was silent for a moment.
"You suspect he has high-tech products on him?"
"Mm." Vermouth responded lightly.
"If so, there is a large organization behind the Night Baron helping him. You want me to find out who that organization is?"
"That is also part of your job. Stop always thinking about finding traitors."
A cold light flashed in Vermouth's eyes.
"That is not something you should manage. What did the Night Baron do in New York?"
"Search online yourself. New York current events news, there are even live videos."
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Gin hung up the phone expressionlessly: "Vodka, search for news in New York, USA."
"Understood, Bro."
Vodka typed on the keyboard for a while, and soon found what happened at the Statue of Liberty.
"Mysterious gentleman Night Baron attacks the Statue of Liberty at night, extinguishing the torch symbolizing human rights and freedom."
"The demon who destroyed human rights and freedom with his own hands, claiming to be the Night Baron, the devil in the darkness."
"Night Baron, a demon who disappeared silently under the pursuit of armed helicopters."
The page was full of these headlines.
"Find the live video."
"Yes, Bro."
Vodka fiddled with the computer again, and soon the video appeared.
The video was edited, starting from the appearance of the Night Baron.
Gin watched the video quietly. Occasionally, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but there was no big reaction.
His pupils shrank suddenly.
"Stop, go back one second."
Vodka was startled by Gin's cold voice and paused for a moment.
"Rewind."
Gin glared at Vodka coldly.
Vodka quickly rewound one second.
"Slower."
The video went back a bit more.
"Stop."
The video froze on a frame.
"Bro? This frame only shows the hem of the Night Baron's clothes."
Gin did not speak. His eyes were like hawk eyes, staring dead at that side profile: "Sherry, I finally found you."
Although the hairstyle changed, and the clothes changed, even with just a side profile, he would never forget this woman.
"Sherry?"
Suddenly, Vodka's eyes widened: "Bro, you mean the traitor Sherry?"
Gin glanced at Vodka and picked up his phone again.
After a long time, Vermouth's angry voice came from the phone.
"Gin, if I get wrinkles tomorrow, I will kill you."
"Sherry is in New York."
"So what, sleep is... what?"
Vermouth reacted suddenly, looking shocked.
"The video of the Statue of Liberty you asked me to watch captured her face."
Vermouth did not speak. She quickly got out of bed, turned on the computer, and started searching for that video: "What time."
"Twenty minutes and fifty-one seconds."
The frame froze. Vermouth leaned back in the chair, crossing her long legs, and a strange curve rose on her red lips: "Sherry, we meet again."
The next day.
Heiji opened his eyes. The two girls beside him had already gotten up. His body was a bit sore.
[It seems that kind of rapid descent is best done sparingly; the harm to the body is too great.]
Every room had an independent bathroom; this was the luxury of a luxury suite.
After washing up, breakfast was also ready.
At the dining table, there were only Kazuha, Sonoko, Ran, and Yukiko.
"Where is Vermouth?"
He did not see Vermouth's figure.
"Sister Chris went out early in the morning, saying she might not be back for dinner today."
[Went out?]
Heiji's heart moved: Did she discover Akemi Miyano impersonating Shiho Miyano so quickly?
"Heiji, where are we going to play next?"
Kazuha and Sonoko looked at Heiji expectantly; they did not play with their boyfriend yesterday.
"Oh my, if it is couples, I recommend you go to the Brooklyn Bridge to play. Rent a yacht, look at the scenery of the bridge from the sea, it is very beautiful."
Yukiko's words made the two girls' eyes shine.
"Heiji, let's go, okay?"
Sonoko looked at Heiji expectantly.
"I really want to go too."
Kazuha's eyes were watery.
Heiji smiled and nodded gently: "Mm, then let's go play for a bit."
Kazuha and Sonoko high-fived excitedly.
"Big Sister Yukiko, do you know where to rent yachts?" Sonoko asked excitedly.
"Hmm, let me think. There is a yacht club near the Statue of Liberty, there should be yachts for rent there." Yukiko rubbed her chin and recalled.
"Okay, lead the way, Big Sister Yukiko."
"Oh my, I won't go." Yukiko quickly waved her hand and pulled Ran over: "And Ran won't disturb you either, letting you have a world for three."
Kazuha and Sonoko looked at each other, and a flash of anticipation instantly passed through their beautiful eyes: "Thank you, Big Sister Yukiko and Ran."
The weather was very good today, the sun was high in the sky, clear and cloudless, and the sky was a patch of azure blue.
Renting the yacht went very smoothly.
"You really don't need me to drive the boat?" The boat owner glanced at Kazuha and Sonoko: two Eastern beauties.
Heiji glanced lightly at that brown-haired man.
The brown-haired man instantly felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. His body started to shiver, and he was so cold his teeth chattered.
Kazuha and Sonoko looked at the brown-haired man curiously, and their brows frowned.
"Heiji, why do these Americans like peeing in their pants?"
"Probably incontinence."
The yacht set sail.
