Seeing that the deception was successful,
Izuki Karuta continued, "Next, I will personally examine Ms. Ikenami's facial skin."
"Please forgive me if I have offended you."
Ikenami Shizuka believed in Itake Karuta's professionalism and stopped questioning him, nodding in agreement.
Without any hesitation, Izuki Karuta placed a cushion and sat down in front of Ikenami Shizuka.
He then reached out and gently stroked Ikeba Shizuka's cheek, feeling the delicate texture of her fair skin, while also taking a closer look.
The distance between their faces was just 10 centimeters.
Ikenami Shizuka felt the gentle caress, and before her stood Izuki Qingtian's handsome face and burning gaze.
In addition to that subtly powerful aura, there was also an unreasonable charm.
Even Ikeba Shizuka, who always admired the strong, found it hard to resist. Her breathing quickened involuntarily as she urged, "Mr. Izuki, more than ten seconds have passed. Haven't you finished checking yet?"
Izuki Karuta said earnestly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Ikenami."
"Because your skin is so fair, like snowflakes."
"I need to carefully observe the texture of the skin."
As they spoke, Izuki Shigeta moved even closer.
Now, their faces were less than 5 centimeters apart, close enough that they would kiss if they moved even slightly.
Ikeba Shizuka leaned back instinctively, trying to create some distance.
Izuki Karuta, on the other hand, subtly approached at the same speed.
As Ikeba Shizuka leaned back, Itake Shizuta leaned forward.
If an ordinary person were to lean back like that, they would soon be unable to hold on and would fall onto the tatami mat.
However, Ikenami Shizuka was a master of swordsmanship with extraordinary waist strength. Her head was almost touching the tatami mat, but her waist was still bent and did not touch the ground.
Izuki Karuta is no ordinary person, and leaning forward is easier than leaning back, so he kept up.
"ah--!"
No matter how skilled Shizuka Ikenami is, she's still just a normal person. When her head hits the tatami, her waist can't support her, and her upper body lies directly on the tatami.
Ikeba Shizuka was already in a somewhat unsettled state of mind, and the sudden loss of weight made her even more flustered, instinctively grabbing whatever was in front of her.
Before Ikenami Shizuka stood, naturally, Itake Karuta.
Izuki Karuta pretended to be unable to hold on, and was pulled down onto the tatami mat with her.
However, with Ikenami Shizuka as a backup...
When Izuki Karita lay down, the position and angle she chose were also precisely calculated.
Without a doubt, he kissed Shizuka Ikebab.
Ikeba Shizuka's eyes widened immediately.
I don't know if it was because I was too surprised,
It took Izuki Qingtian about ten seconds to feel resistance from Ikenami Shizuka.
Izuki Shizuta quickly stood up, creating distance, and preemptively asked, "Ms. Ikenami, why did you back away when I was examining your face?"
"He even dragged me down with him and stole my kiss."
“Ms. Chibo, I need to make it clear in advance that as a fortune teller, I cannot have any emotional entanglements with my clients.”
Having just come to her senses after being kissed, and about to scold and berate him, Ikeba Shizuka was left speechless by this series of punches.
She was the one who was taken advantage of.
Why does Itsuki Karuta now seem like a victim?
Ikeba Shizuka didn't know how to explain it either.
It's impossible to say that she leaned back because Izuki Shigeda was too handsome, which made her heart race.
If that were the case, wouldn't it further confirm Izuki Karuta's suspicions?
It makes her seem like she has ulterior motives and is plotting something...
Chapter 210 Ikebab Shizuka Takes the Bait Again
It is undeniable that when Shizuka Ikenami fell, she grabbed Karuichi Itake, which led to the accident.
"I... I just didn't mean to."
"Please forgive me, Mr. Izuki..."
Ikeba Shizuka lowered her head in shame and indignation.
Not only was she taken advantage of, but the other party also had the moral high ground. Even though she was the one who suffered a loss, she still had to apologize.
In all her years, this was the first time she had ever faced such a situation.
Izuki Karuta generously said, "Since Ms. Ikenami says so, then let's leave it at that."
"After all, I can accept being taken advantage of by a beauty like Ms. Chibo."
Hearing these magnanimous words, Ikeba Shizuka almost lost her composure.
Izuki Karuta continued, "Now that my identity has been verified, I will begin my investigation."
He then took out his phone and made two calls, asking people to help him search for information related to the name Shibata Shiro.
After hanging up the phone, Izuki Karuta looked at Ikenami Shizuka again: "While we're waiting for the investigation, we can talk about the payment for this commission."
Shizuka Ikenami had regained her composure by now, her face cold: "Two million yen... if Mr. Itake can find it."
Izuki Karuta: "Ms. Ikenami doesn't seem to have much confidence in me?"
Ikeba Shizuka: "It's not that I lack confidence, it's just that this old classmate is really hard to find."
With that, Ikeba Shizuka stood up. "Please contact me again when you have news."
Izuki Karuta blocked the doorway. "We should have news within an hour. Please wait a moment, Ms. Ikenami." 687
Ikeba Shizuka narrowed her eyes slightly. "Mr. Izuki, are you that confident?"
Izuki Karuta countered, "Since Ms. Ikenami has so little confidence in me, how about we make a bet?"
“Okay…” Just as Ikeba Shizuka was about to agree, she keenly noticed the faint smile on Izuki Shizuta’s lips and, fearing there might be a trick, quickly changed her mind, “Okay, I’ll wait a little longer.”
Afterwards, Izuki Karuta asked Vermouth to bring some tea and snacks to the guest room.
Aside from tea and snacks, the reception room itself was very simple, with nothing to pass the time.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Ikeba Shizuka couldn't help but feel a little bored.
In fact, she had already achieved her goal of coming to Mika this time: to meet Itsuki Karuta.
Ever since Hattori Heiji returned to Osaka from Beika, he has been depressed and has basically lost contact with Kazuha.
Ikenami Shizuka speculated that something happened between the two in Mika that caused problems in their relationship.
Heiji Hattori stayed home all day looking dejected, which annoyed Shizuka Ikenami. She wanted to ask him what was wrong, but Heiji refused to say.
Afterwards, Shizuka Ikenami recalled that Kazuha had once survived an avalanche and almost died. In the end, she spent two days living with a man of the opposite sex and survived the disaster.
After continuing her investigation, Ikenami Shizuka discovered Itake Karuta and related rumors and reports, and wanted to meet him in person to see if he was really as powerful as the rumors suggested.
Shizuka Ikenami also knew that Karuichi Itake had a good relationship with some people in the Metropolitan Police Department.
However, the old classmate they were looking for was not originally named Shibata Shiro. He had gotten into trouble two years ago while drunk, which led to a lot of problems, so he changed his name to what it is now.
If you use the name Shibata Shiro to search for someone, even the police won't be able to find any relevant information.
Half an hour later,
Ikeba Shizuka stood up again, preparing to leave.
It wasn't that Ikenami Shizuka couldn't sit still for even an hour, but during those half hours, Izuki Qingtian stared intently at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
Seeing this made Ikeba Shizuka feel very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but recall the accident that had just happened.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, so I decided to leave as soon as possible.
"Where is Ms. Ikenami going?" Izuki Karita blocked her way again.
Chibo Jinghua said calmly, "Half an hour has passed. Since there is no news, there is no point in waiting any longer."
Izuki Shizuta smiled, "We've already waited half an hour, what's another half hour?"
"How about this: if there is still no news in another half hour, I can grant Ms. Chi Bo one request for free."
Having finally encountered Ikenami Shizuka, Itsuki Karuta wouldn't let her off so easily.
"One request?" Ikeba Shizuka's interest was piqued. "Any request is acceptable?"
Izuki Karuta explained, "As long as it's within our capabilities and doesn't violate the law, it's fine."
“Okay!” Ikeba Shizuka readily agreed. “Then we’ll wait another half hour.”
I never expected that Izuki Karuta would make such a boast.
