Hotel, seventh floor, hallway.
While Berumura Reiko was still waiting by the pool, Jiang He, already wearing a towel after swimming, shook his head helplessly as he walked towards his room, "This woman is such a pain in the neck."
After entering the pool, he had easily slipped away from the other side, using a group of girls in swimsuits as cover.
To think that he had to wait for him at the poolside, wasn't that just wishful thinking?
As he passed by one of the rooms, Jiang He saw a man with a high hairline, wearing a gray shirt and lost in thought, passing by.
"This person is… that Hori team member's friend, right?" Jiang He glanced at the man and immediately recognized him from the plot.
However, the events had yet to occur, so he naturally didn't bother with it. He would just continue to relax on his vacation. No big deal.
Just in case something happened, he could use this opportunity to avoid that woman, Berumura Reiko.
The plan was perfect.
Back in his room, Jiang He took a shower and changed into a comfortable set of clothes.
He had brought the household hair dryer that he had asked the Raichuran星人 to research, intending to give it a try for Jujo Hui, and had even brought a nice swimsuit. Now, it seemed like he wouldn't be needing it.
Just as Jiang He was about to go to the beach resort restaurant for a meal, as soon as he walked out the door, he saw a familiar figure waiting there.
"Daoist Jiang He, making a lady wait for you by the pool for half an hour, is not the behavior of a gentleman." Berumura Reiko looked at Jiang He, her teeth grinding in anger.
She had been tricked by this guy again.
Seeing that Berumura Reiko had found him so quickly, Jiang He twitched the corner of his mouth.
He realized that the beach resort tickets that the kid, Dagu, had prepared, the rooms were actually connected.
This meant that Berumura Reiko was staying next door, which explained why she could find him so easily.
Faced with this situation, Jiang He could only accept it, "Huh, Doctor Berumura, I didn't expect you to be here. Was it not just an auditory hallucination I had by the pool earlier?"
"…" Hearing his words, Berumura Reiko's teeth itched even more.
However, she knew that now was not the time to keep pestering him, otherwise, this guy would probably pull the same trick again.
"Of course it wasn't an hallucination. Now, Daoist Jiang He, could you wait for me for a bit? Let me go back to my room to change clothes, and then we can go for dinner together," Berumura Reiko said with a forced smile.
"Naturally, I'm a recognized gentleman," Jiang He said with a serious expression.
These words almost made Berumura Reiko bite off the teeth that she had just unclenched. She even suspected that this guy would run away again while she was changing clothes.
But this time, Jiang He actually waited at the door for a while.
After all, their rooms were connected now, even if he left temporarily, he would definitely be found. There was no need for that.
After a few minutes.
The two of them sat at a refined table in the beach resort restaurant. The beach scene was visible outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the scenery was fantastic.
"With this kind of environment, it would be quite nice if you could come here with your loved one, wouldn't it?" Berumura Reiko said with a genuine sigh, as she probed cautiously.
Jiang He could tell what the woman was trying to do, so he took a sip of the coconut juice that had been served first and said casually, "As far as I know, Doctor Berumura seems to be a single… cough, a single person."
Berumura Reiko was choked by his words. This bastard was trying to say "single dog," right?
Although the term sounded a bit new, she understood its meaning immediately.
"So Daoist Jiang He should have a loved one then. Maybe next time you can bring her here," Berumura Reiko continued to probe indirectly, using this topic.
She realized that persistent questioning was useless, so she started to change tactics and began to pry into his words.
However, Jiang He thought about this suggestion for a moment before nodding in agreement, "That's actually a good idea."
He felt a little sorry that he hadn't seen Jujo Hui, this domineering wife, wearing a swimsuit.
He might take her to the beach for a relaxing vacation in a few days.
"I'm so envious of your wife, Daoist Jiang He. Being able to maintain such a good relationship. She must be very busy with work, right?" Berumura Reiko said with an envious tone, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.
She thought she was about to get the information she wanted.
"If you're envious, you can apply to be a mistress, although my wife might not agree," Jiang He said casually while eating the grilled meat that had been served.
"…" Berumura Reiko.
This was a conversation that couldn't be held anymore.
She simply focused on devouring the grilled meat in front of her, treating it as the out-of-the-ordinary bastard in front of her.
........
On the other side, not far from the beach.
At this time, a Victory Falcon was flying over the sea. The newly developed area where a possible electrical accident had just occurred was still ablaze.
"We have reached the airspace above the new development area, but the sensor seems to have no unusual readings," Dagu reported to the base.
"Be careful, even though it was only for a moment, there was a very strong biological energy reaction in that area," Jujo Hui's voice entered the command room. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she immediately reminded him.
Just a moment ago, a middle-aged couple on vacation, fishing at night on the beach nearby, witnessed the strange explosion at the nearby power plant.
In this era of frequent monster appearances, she naturally suspected a monster might be involved.
"Understood, but could the monster have already disappeared?" Dagu continued to fly the fighter jet forward, using the sensor to detect.
"That biological reaction was so strong that it was recorded, how could it suddenly disappear?" New City, sitting in the back of the fighter jet, immediately retorted.
He had finally had the opportunity to delay that report because of the appearance of a monster, and was now out with Dagu to investigate in a fighter jet.
If the monster really had disappeared, wouldn't he have to go back and face that troublesome report?
Especially, if such a large monster was lurking here, how could it possibly disappear for no reason.
