And at that moment,

In the country of Wano on the east coast of the Cross Continent, Nishimaru Miria and her aunt Coladia, who had cut some fruit and brought it over after the meal, sat on the tatami and watched the live news.

When this scene was inserted, the aunt Coladia, who did not know Higashinohara's other identity, was fine, but Nishimaru Miria was completely confused.

Now I finally get to see Higashinohara,

After the huge joy surged through her little heart, now she only wanted to make sure of this.

Higashinohara looked at Nishimaru Miria's wide-eyed pupils, which were as pure as black gems. Although he was caught off guard by this question?

But there was no secret between him and Nishimaru Miria so far, so he smiled and nodded calmly and said,

"Not really."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, Nishimaru Miria's body was as numb as a thought flashed across her mind.

It turns out that all these speculations were true.

It is said that an elder brother is like a father and a father's love is like a mountain, so now the little girl's world is like a mountain falling apart!

In her little heart, Nishimaru Miria felt an awkward feeling of being a "stepmother descended from the sky". In addition, there was also an indescribable loss deep in her heart.

Nishimaru Miria, whose face seemed a little pale, blinked her big black and white eyes, stared at Higashinohara's cheek and asked.

"is that

Is it the big sister with long legs?"

A big sister with long legs?

There are many women with long legs in this world.

But at this moment, Nishimaru Miria's words had just left her mouth, and the first thing that flashed in Higashinohara's mind was Dorothy Alita's long legs that shocked him that night.

After coming back to his senses, Higashinohara nodded Nishimaru Miria's head in a funny way, shook his head and said,

"How can you describe someone else like this? Her name is Dorothy. If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce you to her."

Dorothy.

Is it so intimate even if the last name is omitted from the title?

Nishimaru Miria thought with some disappointment.

Higashinohara saw Nishimaru Miria's depressed mood, and couldn't help but look at her with amusement and said,

"Why are you so unhappy? Don't worry, even if you have a girlfriend, you will always be my sister."

These words did not seem to comfort Nishimaru Miria.

The little girl lowered her head and remained silent for a while. Then she suddenly twitched her small nose. She raised her head and stared at Higashinohara with her big black and white eyes and asked aimlessly, "Brother, what do you think of my aunt?"

ah?

Aunt?

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Higashinohara finally reacted, and immediately knocked Nishimaru Miria on the head angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How old is Ms. Clodia?"

"More than 20 years old."

Nishimaru Miria covered her little head and said dissatisfied.

Higashinohara was a little stunned.

Only then did he remember that his aunt Clodia Osele, who was busy as a housewife in New Tokyo and took care of him and Miria Nishimaru's daily life, was actually the youngest sister of Miria Nishimaru's mother, and was older than her mother.

Much smaller.

Nishimaru Miria still raised her head and stared at Higashinohara with her big black jewel-like eyes, and asked again, "Brother, what do you think of my aunt?"

Higashinohara was a little troubled by the persistence shown occasionally by the little girl in front of him. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Of course Miss Coladia is very good, but she is your aunt, and she is also considered an elder to me. She is still young.

Bigger than me."

Before he finished speaking, Nishimaru Miria interrupted him with a murmur, "But Miss Dorothy is also older than you. Big brother likes the older type. Then why can't my aunt do the same?"

Dong Yeyuan was immediately suffocated.

Year-old type?

This is all a mess.

I haven’t seen you for a while. What did this little girl learn at Takehara Minami Academy?

Is it because you were exposed to high school life in advance?

shook his head,

Higashinohara was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, Nishimaru Miria put her finger on her chin, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked herself, "I know, is it because my aunt's legs are not as long as those of Dorothy?"

"." Higashinohara.

Nicole is such a little genius.

Is Higashinohara completely speechless?

I didn't expect that a warm reunion after a long absence, which actually wasn't a long time, would turn out like this.

The little girl Nishimaru Miria was originally precocious and introverted due to family reasons. Now that she has met Higashinohara and Tokugawa Ritora, and because of her personal talent, she has been exposed to high school life early, she seems to have become more and more eccentric.

It was rare for Nishimaru Miria to see Higashinohara's speechless look, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She quickly rubbed her little head against Higashinohara's palm like a puppy before, and said obediently and flatteringly, "Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense, big brother, don't be angry."

The atmosphere is back on track.

Higashinohara couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He really had nothing to do with this little girl, but he said with a stern face, "Don't talk nonsense in front of Miss Clodia when you return to Wano Country."

Nishimaru Miria puffed up her mouth and muttered, "But my aunt has taken care of us for so long, is also very good to my elder brother, and the age gap is not big. I think you are really..."

"Still talking nonsense!"

"Ah! I'm sorry!"

"."

After a little noise, the life that had not been seen for a long time suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The rest of the afternoon,

Higashinohara basically sat on the sofa and was pestered by Nishimaru Miri asking questions about what he encountered in the hell world.

Higashinohara gave a general introduction,

I skipped what I couldn’t say.

But Miria Nishimaru didn't seem to care too much about this. She mainly talked about the details of Higashinohara and Dorothy Alita's first acquaintance.

This is even harder to describe one by one.

Higashinohara could only cough twice, and this time he only said what he could.

Stop when you click,

It won't be good if you say too much.

But after hearing that the two of them were being hunted by the Nine Families and the Adjudication Division, Nishimaru Miria imagined a poignant picture of being on the run and was still feeling satisfied. Her little face with squinted eyes was full of envy.

The afternoon passed like this.

In the evening, there was a knock on the door of the hotel suite. The person who came was the driver arranged by Tokugawa Ritora in advance. He was responsible for returning Higashinohara to school and reporting to the exchange student leader, Natsuki Kikuchi.

Higashinohara said goodbye to Nishimaru Miria who was reluctant to leave, and promised to see him again tomorrow before leaving the hotel, going downstairs, and getting in the car.

on city roads,

In a car driving slowly.

The driver was a young man new to the Third Investigation Team. Looking through the rearview mirror, he was a little surprised that his task was to pick up an ordinary high school student who was a few years younger than him.

Thinking that Team Leader Tokugawa was quite solemn when he handed over the tasks to him, as if he was dealing with some big shot, he felt even more puzzled.

But when I remembered the happy conversation I had with Nishimaru Miri when I just left, I just thought that the other party was a friend of Miss Nishimaru, the apple of the Tokugawa team. At the same time, I also felt a little envious in my heart. She is fair and handsome these days, which means she is popular.

car back seat,

Although Higashinohara noticed the driver's gaze, he didn't take it seriously. However, as he looked at the passing scenery outside the window, his brows suddenly frowned slightly.

at the same time,

In the city car radio in the car,

A confident male announcer shouted in a tone full of surprise:

"Two billion!!!"
