Chapter 219

"Is that how it came about?"

Phillip shook his hand and motioned for Narumi Yasuki to hold his hand and stand up.

Narumi Asukiko murmured: "But, if you leave the office rashly...

"Will [Museum]..."

Phillip grabbed Narukiya Shuko.

"If the detectives from Narumi Detective Agency stop moving forward because they are concerned about the risks, I won't be able to stand here and talk to you."

Philip looked at Narukiya Shuko: "Make a decisive choice like a tough guy.

"Ashuzi."

For some reason, Narumi Asukiko also smiled slightly after hearing Phillip's words again.

Perhaps it was Philip's ability to connect to the Earth Library that gave her confidence, or perhaps she was a strong girl who could recover quickly...

Or maybe...

It was her father's deeds that gave her strength.

She first held Phillip's hand, then took Phillip's hand and stood up suddenly from the ground.

Then, she nodded vigorously.

"Let's show that half-baked detective who is the talker at Narumi Detective Agency, and what is the Hard-Boiled among the tough guys!"

Narumi Asukiko is fully resurrected!

354-Sonosaki's house

Sonosaki's house.

Dinner time.

Sonosaki Ryuhei sat at the head seat at the dining table.

And Sonosaki Wakana, who returned home after a day's work, was sitting next to Sonosaki Ryuhei.

Sonosaki Ryuhei stroked the cat Mick in his arms. He looked at Sonosaki Wakana, answered from time to time, nodded in affirmation from time to time, and laughed heartily from time to time.

Sonosaki Wakana also had a lingering smile, sharing her knowledge like a energetic girl.

Even the cat Mick yawned from time to time and then meowed a few times.

If we put aside the power of fear that inexplicably lingers in Sonosaki's home, then this scene does indeed look like a warm family dinner.

The maids hired by the Sonosaki family placed the cooked dishes and desserts on the table, and then they lowered their heads slightly and left the restaurant indifferently.

In the Sonosaki family, it is the rule that all servants should abide by: don't listen, don't ask, don't say anything.

After the maids left the restaurant, Sonosaki Saeko arrived late after finishing her day's work.

After hearing the sound of Sonosaki Saeko pushing the door open, Sonosaki Ryubei and Sonosaki Wakana also all focused their attention on Sonosaki Saeko who pushed the door open.

Sonosaki Ryuhei's kind smile faded a lot. He looked at Sonosaki Saeko, and while stroking the cat Mick, he said lightly: "Saeko...

"Recently, the work you are responsible for does not seem to be progressing very smoothly..."

Sonosaki Saeko frowned slightly.

Although Sonosaki Ryuhei's words sounded like a kind father caring about his daughter's work, Sonosaki Saeko understood that this was the underground lord of Fudu expressing dissatisfaction with her poor work... .

After getting along with Sonosaki Ryubei for a long time as a [museum manager], Sonosaki Saeko can completely understand that Sonosaki Ryuhei values ​​the [superior-subordinate] relationship more than [family relationship].

In other words, Sonosaki Ryubei cares more about "power" and "profit" than "family affection".

If she didn't take over the museum business, but was just an ordinary eldest daughter of the Sonosaki family...

Then Sonosaki Ryuhei is just a father.

Just like Sonosaki Ryubei has always taken great care of Wakana, who has not yet come into contact with the [museum] business.

Just like she'd always felt.

But now, Sonosaki Yueko has taken over the business of the [Museum]...

So, in the eyes of Sonosaki Ryuhei, Sonosaki Saeko is first of all the "museum manager" and secondly "his eldest daughter".

The weak family affection that I could originally feel seemed to have gradually dissipated as Sonosaki Saeko began to take charge of the business of the [Museum]...

Sonosaki Ryubei is more concerned about whether the dominance of the [Museum] can continue to spread.

"I will find a way." Sonosaki Saeko shook her head slightly, and then answered.

The collapse of Million Arena and the failure of Money Dopant have had a negative impact on the [Museum].

Customers who have purchased Gaia memories have expressed doubts about the [after-sales service] provided by the [Museum].

At the same time, the behavior of Money dopant losing their minds after becoming huge also caused some Gaia memory users to express "Will we eventually be made into a tool by the [museum] to defeat Kamen Riders?" worries.

Even among the most loyal users, [the museum]’s reputation has fluctuated.

The activities of Kamen Rider W, Kamen Rider Accel, Huang Jinqing and Kamen Rider Nasca have only made matters worse, causing customers who were originally hesitant to buy Gaia Memory to make a negative choice.

Sales of the new Gaia memory have therefore been affected to a certain extent...

The situation is very bad indeed.

However, Sonosaki Ryuhei shook his head slightly.

He was not satisfied with Sonosaki Saeko's answer.

"You know, what I want to hear is not just some empty 'I'll try my best' thing."

Sonosaki Yueko pressed her temples, and after a moment, she answered: "The further development of the Megamorph memory has been left to the technical staff.

"If things go well, the new Megamorph memory will be available in the next two days.

"The improved Megamorph memory can keep the giant dopant sane.

"And since then, it is not impossible to deal with the Crazy Dragon King."

Then, Sonosaki Saeko continued to add: "In addition, I also investigated some information related to Huang Jinqing.

"Based on the [Millennium Artifact] displayed by Huang Jinqing in the Million Arena, I investigated some information related to alchemy...

"Now it seems that the power used by Huang Jinqing is most likely the so-called alchemy."

"As for King Huang's apprentice, Kamen Rider Nasca, he most likely used the power of alchemy to try to control Nasca's memory.

"Regarding this, we are actively working to get in touch with Consortium X...

“According to my understanding of Consortium X, Consortium X has related technology.

"If we can get technical support from Consortium X, maybe we can also integrate the power of alchemy into Gaia's memory.

"The above are the relevant plans."

Sonosaki Saeko shook her head slightly, as if she was very dissatisfied that she had to tell her father these messy things as if she was reporting to her superiors even though she had already returned home.

However, Sonosaki Ryuhei didn't care about Sonosaki Saeko's emotions at all. He just continued to ask without mercy: "Speaking of which, Saeko, have you heard about the [Second Fudu Tower]?

"Kusuhara Senator's Second Fudu Tower.

"A building that looks like a space exploration base doesn't match the style that Fengdu has always had...

"and......

"It was in a very poor location."

Sonosaki Saeko naturally easily heard the overtones of Sonosaki Ryubei's words.

Ryubei Sonosaki, who claims to be the underground lord of the Wind Capital, would never allow a nondescript building like the Second Wind Capital Tower to appear in his Wind Capital.

What's more, the location of the Second Fengdu Tower...

Right above the Gaia memory foundry.

If the construction of the Second Wind Capital Tower really starts, then the [Museum] may be discovered...

After hearing Sonosaki Ryuhei's words, Sonosaki Saeko, who had just sat down, stood up again.

She looked at Sonosaki Ryubei, and then said without any emotion: "Things related to hindering the construction of the Second Fudu Tower were originally the responsibility of Takamura, the person in charge of the foundry... .

"But since my father mentioned it..."

Sonosaki Saeko took out the Taboo memory and walked out slowly.

"Then let me take care of it."

Maybe it’s because I feel unhappy because my father is always pushing me with work matters, or maybe it’s because I feel there’s no point in staying in a home that doesn’t have a sense of warmth...

Sonosaki Saiko walked out of Sonosaki's house without hesitation, and then slowly inserted the Taboo memory into the drive she wore.

The Taboo dopant swims toward the sky.

Looking at Sonosaki Saeko leaving, Sonosaki Ryuhei just stroked the cat Mick, then shook his head slightly, showing a satisfied smile.

355-Decision and Mirror

Kusuhara House.

study.

Representative Kusuhara Masaru is sitting here quietly at this moment. She frowns slightly and reviews the information that may be needed when negotiating the land sale the next day.

At the same time, her personal secretary stood beside her, reporting to her the progress of the project and the general content of the materials.

In addition, several police officers from the Fengdu Metropolitan Police Department are also standing here, responsible for her security.

Although she clearly knew that the enemy's goal was to hinder the construction of the Second Wind Capital Tower, she inherited her husband's legacy and was still determined to win this matter.

Occasionally, discussions could be heard in the study, but most of the time it was simple reports and approvals.

balcony.

At the same time, detective Shotaro Zuo and police officer Ryu Terui were standing on the balcony. While they were talking about the investigation results of the day's attack, they looked around with the help of the wide view from the balcony.

Although Shotaro Zuo was a little surprised by Philip's arrival, because he hadn't figured out how to face Narumi Asukiko yet, he had been deliberately or unintentionally following Philip and Narumi Asukiko since they came to Kusuhara House. Avoid meeting them.

As for Terui Ryu, he was as taciturn as ever. He only spoke occasionally when he needed to exchange information with Zuo Shotaro and dispatch and command the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department.

As for the current problems Narumi Detective Agency is encountering, he didn't say much.

On the balcony there were only analyzes of the suspects and discussions about the possible directions of attacks in the surrounding area.

living room.

Finally, Officer Shiraishi, Akiko Narumi, and Philip, who also appeared here as a detective from the Narumi Detective Agency, accompanied Asuka Kusuhara in the living room...

In addition, Officers Hatano and Makura were also in the corner of the living room, responsible for the security of the above people.

Although Akiko Narumi and Philip came to Asuka Kusuhara as members of the Narumi Detective Agency, in fact, it was still Officer Shiraishi who was mainly responsible for interacting with Asuka Kusuhara...

Officer Shiraishi not only told stories about the battle between genius scientists and evil alien creatures to attract Asuka Kusuhara, but also took out cards to perform exquisite close-up magic for Asuka Kusuhara, making Asuka Kusuhara smile.

In addition, he also let Asuka Kusuhara do what she loves and then affirm Asuka Kusuhara's hobbies.

As for Akiko Narumi and Philip...

Rather than saying that they were the adults who looked after Asuka Kusuhara, it would be better to say that they were two other children who played with Asuka Kusuhara...

The story told by Officer Shiraishi fascinated Akiko Narumi, and she couldn't wait to ask questions to know the ending of the story.

The special close-up magic performed by Shiraishi made Philip, who was watching from the side, interested in visual deception and attention induction techniques...

He even started to visit the Earth Library on the spot to check the relevant information he was interested in in advance.

Unconsciously, the scene in the living room gradually evolved from [three adults playing with Asuka Kusuhara and comforting Asuka Kusuhara who was attacked] to [kindergarten teacher Shiraishi taught the three children according to their aptitude and guided them to find their own interests and strengths]...

......

After a while.

The living room of the Kusuhara house.
