After Mu Hantian's villa, Mu Hantian began to transform into Conan and began to think about who was behind the scenes.

The night Emi came to stay, the text messages sent by Chiho and someone who didn't know who they were were all about the earthquake.

Although Mu Hantian sent messages back to both of them, he did not receive a response from the unidentified sender. Chiho was the only one who replied.

"It's not a game and it's not a fantasy. It seems that an earthquake really occurred. ?? By Chiho."

For some reason, all the text messages had their signatures decorated with the emoji "Chiho" inserted at the end.

Afterwards, in several round-trip messages, he sent text messages stating several major earthquakes that may have occurred recently and the reasons he thought, but if Mu Hantian didn't listen directly, he wouldn't be able to tell where the main points were, so he decided to meet this evening.

"What did that last Sasaki-san say?"

"She said she only heard voices."

"Huh?" Ashiya showed a surprised expression.

"He said it was a strange warning from a man's voice."

"What do you mean? It won't be a movie or an animation, right? Ordinary high school girls can't happen to have telepathy."

"I thought it was Xiaoqian's delusion as a teenager." Mu Hantian smiled bitterly.

"I was just attacked by a magic bullet, and Emi received another threatening call? I don't know who the enemy is. After we have investigated our surroundings, there may be pressure. And, the worst thing is..."

"You mean that Miss Sasaki may be an enemy?" Allen said as he brought up the food.

"I really don't want to think so. But no matter what, you can't ignore any small possibility." After all, I have never watched this anime.

"Is that so, do you need me to accompany you then?"

"I don't need it for the time being. I can handle it. Although this world is suppressing me, it only limits my power, and I also brought Esther and the others."

"In any case, be careful, after all, the enemy may also use small means such as poisoning."

"I know, but now I'll go get dressed for a while, and I'll just have something to eat and go."

"OK."

………………

"Sorry, Chiho, I kept you waiting."

"It's okay, I just arrived." Chiho smiled and shook her head.

"Huh? Xiaoqian, did you cut your hair?"

"Yes, cut short without hesitation! How?"

"Well, it fits."

"Excellent!" Chiho raised her arms and shouted after she answered frankly.

"By the way, are you going back before dinner?"

"Well, that's true..." Chiho nodded in dissatisfaction.

"What should I do next? Standing like this is not the way to go? Chiho, do you know where there is a cafe?" Since he was not familiar with this area, Mu Hantian could only ask Chiho.

Chiho thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the 'Raging Wave' Cafe. It's cheap, so you should be able to stay in peace."

"Then let's go, I'll treat you."

"it is good!"

The nearest raging wave is where the food street enters the underground connecting passage.

"Ah... Mr. Han Tian."

"What's the matter, Chiho?"

Chiho stopped Mu Hantian, who was about to move forward.

"this and that."

"What? What's wrong?"

"that is……"

"Eh?"

Chiho lowered her head slightly, her face turned red for some reason, and she gritted her teeth. For a moment, Mu Hantian felt that Qiansui even wanted to speak loudly, but it was indeed an unexpected sentence.

"Hand...hold...is it okay?"

I was still full of energy just now, but suddenly the sound became like a mosquito chirping.

"Okay." Mu Hantian suddenly grabbed Chiho's hand and said as if it didn't matter.

Chiho's body stiffened for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"Eh, ah, no, that's great! Ah, no, nothing! Thank you..."

"It's too crowded! If you don't, you'll get scattered."

As for Qianho's changing expressions one after another, although Mu Hantian knew what she was thinking, he was not able to explain it clearly.

Mu Hantian stared at Qiansui's face. So Chiho opened the distance from Mu Hantian, whose eyes widened. But because they were holding hands, they couldn't do whatever they wanted, so they twisted strangely.

"Xiao Qian, don't think too much."

"Ah, yes, I see." Chiho looked away unnaturally, and pulled Mu Hantian to walk up.

Mu Hantian sighed slightly in his heart. Chiho, I'm sorry, it's impossible for me and you.

………………

In Shinjuku East Gate, there are many underground shopping streets centered on Shinjuku Station. I walked down the stairs next to me, because it happened to be between lunch time and the middle of the evening, and there were not many pedestrians in the food street. But fortunately, the Raging Wave Cafe is still empty.

"Then let's start right away, I want to hear the detailed situation again from Xiaoqian's mouth."

"Ah, okay."

Chiho ordered the season's iced latte, Mu Hantian ordered Blue Mountain Coffee and started talking.

"I said that the tinnitus has become serious since the time I worked at McGraw. At first, I thought maybe it was caused by stress because I was doing something I was not used to, but whether it was Mr. Hantian, Miss Kisaki or others They are all gentle, there are no strange people among the guests, and there is no trouble at school, and I even feel that my health is a little bad."

Mu Hantian paid attention to his surroundings while agreeing, and did not neglect Chiho's observation.

"And didn't I say before that only my house had a severe earthquake, so I thought it was strange. Last night, although no one was there, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears."

"That voice, what does it feel like? Isn't that what your ears hear when you talk like you usually do?"

Chiho put her fingers on her chin and made a thoughtful movement.

"Well - by the way, does Mr. Han Tian usually watch movies or animations?"

"Yeah." Mu Hantian nodded.

"Doesn't it behave like a radio wave? It sounds like an echo. That's what it is."

"Eh?"

Chiho seemed to remember something, and then let out a light breath.

"I always feel like a very flustered and vigorous uncle-like voice. The way it came is like the FM of the radio is not well tuned, and I can hear it normally."

"Really?"

"Yes, it is……"

Mu Hantian leaned out and asked, Chiho nodded in surprise.

"Besides, the words were very simple. Just said 'Ah - can you hear me?'"

"Although I didn't hesitate to answer out loud, but after that I kept saying 'Can you hear me?', I always felt like my voice didn't convey the feeling. Because there was no way, I just waited for the other party to say something, so I heard him Saying, 'Well, forget it, because the number of people who can hear is limited, so it's useless to say it. Natural phenomena should occur frequently in the world over there. There may be bigger things happening recently, so be careful. We will also consider it. Best time to go there.'"

At this moment, Chiho paused for a while and took a sip of the iced latte.

"Is that all?"

"Yeah. I don't know what that means, I think it's definitely like a wrong call. All I know is that I'm not the recipient, and I'm talking and thinking about something wrong! After that, the tinnitus stopped."

"So, when it comes to natural phenomena that have occurred frequently recently, there are only earthquakes."

"It took me a long time to think of this. Because I was so surprised to hear this voice, I couldn't think about anything for a while." Chiho smiled wryly, and took another sip of the latte that started to melt as she spoke. .

Mu Hantian searched for his memory, and the voice Chiho received should be a type of telepathy called "concept sending and receiving". Attuned to the specific consciousness of humans in different worlds who have different languages, it is a technology that various discourses understand them in their own language after sharing concepts.

"It turns out that it's the people over there, it's interesting."

Thinking quietly, Mu Hantian took a sip of coffee.

It just keeps getting more interesting.
