Chapter 42: Barbara's Attack

"You said you were going to see Her Majesty the Queen, but you didn't dare to go up to her and just sat there."

After the banquet, Maggieson and Barbara were on their way home.

Due to work, Gordon would stay in the State Guest House during this period, so only the two of them left.

"That's Her Majesty the Queen. How many people in the world want to see her but it's out of reach. How dare I go up and talk to her."

Barbara said unhappily.

"It's a rare thing for us to see the Queen at such a close distance."

Maggieson remained silent and could not deny Barbara's words.

"By the way, why are you still following me? I remember your house should be in that direction."

While walking, Maggieson suddenly turned around and said to Barbara.

Although the distance between Maggieson's house and Barbara's house is no more than one thousand meters, it does not mean that the two of them must go the same way.

For example, now, the two of them came to a fork in the road, just in the middle of their homes.

"I don't have the key."

"Isn't little James at home? He can open the door for you."

"...There's a camping activity at the middle school today, and he won't be home these days."

"...Isn't today a day off?"

"It's because it's a day off that we can hold the activity, otherwise we have to hold it during normal class time?"

"Really?"

Maggieson glanced at Barbara suspiciously. In his impression, when he was in middle school, things like camping activities almost never took up days off.

After all, teachers also need to rest, right...

But since Barbara said so, it's not completely impossible.

"If it doesn't work, ask someone to help you unlock the door."

"Look at what time it is now. The locksmith has already left work, and don't you think it's dangerous for me to go back alone so late?"

I don't think so.

Maggieson really wants to say that it's probably no more than 600 meters from here to your house, and I can see the situation of your house directly...

Wait!

"Why are the lights in your house...on?"

Barbara was startled when she heard this, and when she looked back, she saw that her house was brightly lit, as bright as day.

After silently making a decision to punish her brother, Barbara laughed dryly: "Uh, haha...I remember, I forgot to turn off the lights when I left."

Madison's mouth twitched. What on earth does this girl want to do?

Do you know that it is very dangerous for a girl like you to be in a single man's home!

If it were usual, he wouldn't mind, but the situation is different now, and he is in no mood to mess around with Barbara.

After all, this banquet made him know the strength of the opponent's lineup, and Queen Elizabeth may not only have these guards on the surface, but there may be some mysterious people protecting her in secret.

Although he already has an action plan, he must think about it carefully, especially with the appearance of Agent Bean and Batman.

God knows how far that mysterious luck and mysterious wisdom can go.

He has to think about how to deal with these two people.

Even if other people are difficult to deal with, they can find their weaknesses through common sense. At most, when they encounter Bob's agent, they will stay away from all shopping malls and furniture stores, and the threat level will drop sharply.

It's better not to let Barbara disturb me.

"Then... can't you only stay in the hotel for one night today?"

Barbara: "..."

Isn't this a fool!

Do I have to make it clear that I want to stay at your house today?

How can a girl say this?

Is Maggieson really so slow?

No, she can't just give up.

Recalling what Daisy said to herself when she left not long ago, Maggieson was too slow, and she should be more proactive.

Barbara encouraged herself in her heart.

Barbara, go for it!

"I said, can't you..."

Barbara suddenly looked cold and stared at Maggieson with dissatisfaction.

-----------

No, I can't rush...

In Suite 4406 of the Angela Hotel in Old Town Gotham, Barbara stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

As a result, she still couldn't say the sentence "Can't you let me stay at your house for one night?" Then Maggieson looked at her with a puzzled look and stopped talking halfway.

Then, Maggieson very considerately sent her to the hotel and helped her get a luxury single room.

"There is a problem, there must be a problem..."

Barbara sat up suddenly.

"Does he have no feelings for me at all? No, if there is no feeling at all, then it shouldn't have any effect on me staying at his house."

"Is my charm too bad?"

Barbara took out a small mirror and looked at herself.

Hmm... natural beauty!

After all, I am the goddess of Gotham University, how can my charm be bad? This kid must be blind.

Looking down, Barbara frowned.

This may not be very big, but it is the size of a normal woman!

It is definitely not small!

Since the problem is not with me, it must be with Maggieson.

Barbara thought for sure.

"Maybe he is Kaito Kidd, and he is plotting something. He doesn't want me to see it, so he refuses me to live in his house, not because I am not charming enough..."

Barbara couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so she made a bold decision.

She sneaked out of the door and left the hotel quietly.

Outside Maggieson's house, Barbara approached quietly.

"The lights inside are off. Is he asleep?"

Looking inside through the window, there is no suspicious sign.

The imagined scene of Maggieson sorting out various Kaito Kid props did not appear.

Barbara climbed up to the second floor and peeked in from the bedroom window.

Although Maggieson had closed the curtains, Barbara could still vaguely see Maggieson sleeping on the bed through the gap in the curtains.

"What on earth am I doing..."

After jumping down from the second floor, Barbara laughed at herself. She had been doubting and doubting, but it seemed that she was just entertaining herself.

However, what she didn't know was that in a building not far away, Maggieson was watching her with a telescope.

That's right, Maggieson had guessed that Barbara would come back to spy... no, she would come back to investigate him, so he put a dummy on the bed in his bedroom to confuse Barbara.

The reason why he was still confirming here was because he was afraid that Barbara would break into the house in anger, and if the dummy was discovered after his death, he would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

It seemed that he could not clear himself even if he jumped into that place, but it didn't matter.

Watching Barbara return to the hotel, Maggieson jumped off the building and spread his glider to the base of Kaito Kidd...

The next day, just after the sun rose, Maggieson was awakened by a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw that it was Barbara.

Barbara had dark circles on her face and had been staring at Maggieson since he opened the door, without saying a word...
