"I'm really sorry that I took the liberty of bringing a friend to disturb you!"

Seeing the confused look on Master Nakamura Mie's face, Arata hurriedly apologized, while Takamatsu Shizuka on the side looked at Miki timidly, her eyes no longer the young lady's demeanor that she had that day.

Arata is still a little confused as to why this young lady from a wealthy family suddenly came to her. However, after Miki looked at Arata and Shizuka for a long time, she asked with some restraint:

"Excuse me...is this lady...pregnant?"

"Eh?"

"I...I..."

Hearing Miki's words, Shizuka blushed and glanced at Arata, but Arata was a little embarrassed and was about to speak when she heard Miki criticize Arata in a harsh tone:

"You guy, how could you do such an irresponsible thing!"

"Wait...wait a minute! No..."

"What's wrong? Now that things have happened, are you still evading your responsibilities? In this situation, you should be brave enough to tell your parents about this and take your own responsibilities..."

"No, I... I really... you misunderstood... Sister Miki!"

"Do you still want to quibble?"

…

Seeing that Miki was a little angry and wanted to get up, Shizuka on the side finally realized what she was doing, and then quickly spoke to persuade:

"Wait a minute, you... you really misunderstood! I am not pregnant, and... New Tai and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend! In fact... I encountered a very troublesome thing, and I found out in desperation.

Kill him!"

"Eh?"

Seeing that she seemed to have made a joke, Miki calmly sat back down in her seat.

"What happened?"

"How should I put it? In fact... I don't know what happened now! A few days ago, a group of people suddenly came to Takarazuka School, saying that... something happened to my father and they needed me to return to Tokyo as soon as possible to cook.

, I was a little worried at that time, so I followed these people and left the school..."

"Later, when I was taking a break, I was really worried, so I wanted to call Chana and ask what was going on, but..."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"No matter whose number I called, I still couldn't get through. Not only Chana, but now even my father and Chana's mother couldn't be contacted. I felt something was wrong at the time, so I called the housekeeper at home and my father's phone number.

Subordinates, only Uncle Machang answered the phone. At that time, he kept asking me where I was, and told me not to worry and just go back with those people. I felt weird at the time... and then he ran away quietly? "

"What? Miss Takamatsu...you mean..."

"My family seems to have lost contact with all of them! And after I ran back to Tokyo, I accidentally... accidentally discovered this..."

As Shizuka spoke, she took out a folded newspaper from her pocket. After Arata took it, she couldn't help but unfold the newspaper with some confusion.

"A senior executive of Plaza Win fell to his death. The deceased had served as the director of the Horse Racing Promotion Department!"

"What does this mean?"

After reading the rough report in the newspaper, Arata seemed to have realized that something was wrong, so he asked Takamatsu Shizuka again:

"This report..."

"The person who died was Mr. Toshi Baba, my father's right-hand subordinate during his lifetime. It was he who persuaded me to go back to Tokyo with those people that day! So... I really don't know who to believe now, so I can only contact him.

It’s up to you, Arata!”

Seeing Miss Shizuka's helpless appearance, Arata and Miki couldn't help but look solemn.

"Is it any wonder that Miss Shizuka had such a strong reaction when we met?"

"That is to say, Miss Shizuka has lost contact with her family now. In addition, there is a group of strange people looking for your whereabouts? That's right!"

"Hi!"

After Arata confirmed these two things, Takamatsu Shizuka fell into silence again. Although he relied on Arata to temporarily gain safety, he now neither knows what happened to his family nor those who came to pick him up.

Who did she recognize? Moreover, she and Arata were only casual acquaintances.

"In other words, Miss Takamatsu needs a place to settle down for the time being, right?"

"Eh?"

Just when the room fell into silence for a while, Sister Miki took the initiative and asked.

"If you don't mind, please stay at my house first! Anyway, I live alone and I'm looking for a roommate in such a deserted place!"

"Uh... no no no! This is too disturbing!"

Hearing Miki's kindness, Miss Shizuka was naturally embarrassed to agree to it. However, Arata asked with some worry:

"But, Miss Takamatsu! Is there any other place you can go now? Your parents are now missing, and your former subordinates are probably unreliable! By the way, do you have any relatives you can trust?"

"Relatives? There are some relatives on my stepmother's side, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with them. As for my father's side, most of them have settled abroad!"

Arata now sees that Takamatsu Shizuka really has no place to go. She is extremely lucky to be able to escape from those guys alone. However, it’s just such trouble for Sister Miki..."

"Please don't have any worries! In fact, I feel a little lonely living alone these days! I still miss the days when I lived in a dormitory with a group of girls! Why don't you just live here first! In addition, Arata's father

Working at the Metropolitan Police Department, I think he should be able to help you ask about your parents! Wouldn't it be better for you to leave here when it is confirmed that it is safe!"

Miki could see that Shizuka Takamatsu was a little embarrassed, so she kindly hugged him in her arms and comforted her gently.

"Can I... really live here?"

"It's okay! My place is really deserted. One more person can just make it livelier. During this time, you can stay with me in peace!"

"Uh... um!"

Seeing that Shizuka agreed with some embarrassment, Miki finally felt relieved. She first took Shizuka for a general tour of her apartment, and then took her to the guest room.

"This is it. I'll help you clean it up later!"

"Ah... I can just do it myself! Living here, I am already very disturbing!"
