Sonoko chuckled and said, "Such a rare opportunity, wouldn't it be a shame if you couldn't hold on for long and just fainted?"
For a moment, upon hearing this, Momiji thought that Sonoko was genuinely trying to help.
If Sonoko hadn't taken the camera out of her handbag...
"Suzuki Sonoko!"
Hongye was filled with shame and indignation, and quickly lowered her head again.
The camera in the garden kept clicking away, and she still argued, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just taking pictures of the scenery."
"For example, the maple leaf under the chair looks like it's stained with blood."
Soon, Hongye lost all interest in the garden, feeling increasingly threatened by the growing dangers within the lava cave. A critical moment was approaching.
Hongye was completely absorbed in the illusion and, worried about interfering with Yizhu Qingtian's actions, dared not utter a single word.
However, this is only what Hongye thinks.
Even while holding Momiji, Izuki Karuta could come and go freely in the illusion.
Having prior experience with the challenges, he now knows exactly where to go.
Many traps or mechanisms that appear dangerous in the illusion can be avoided by Izuki Karita without any real danger.
On the contrary, the fact that Hongye lay motionless in my arms the whole time was already too stimulating to look at.
Adding to the heat of the illusion, wave after wave of heat came, and it was clear that Hongye was about to give up...
Chapter 243 Honeydew Stolen, Encirclement and Suppression Operation
6 p.m.
"Mr. Izuki!!!"
Hongye suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying in her boudoir.
Countless possibilities flashed through my mind in an instant:
Is it real or fake, a dream or reality?
Hongye clearly remembers that she took the initiative to pull Yizhu Qingtian to the maple forest and sit together...
Hongye checked her own condition and found herself full of energy, with no backache, leg pain, or trembling hands and feet.
There wasn't even a smell of sweat.
You should know that when she was adventuring in the illusion, her senses were affected by the lava cave, and she was sweating profusely and feeling weak in the limbs.
Also, because the fantasy adventure was too exciting, coupled with the high temperature, he fainted.
"Was it all just a dream?"
Hongye seemed somewhat indecisive.
Looking at the time, I became even more certain that it was all just my own imagination.
After all, judging by the time, she could only sleep for two hours at most.
If it weren't a dream, it would be impossible to recover so quickly.
If it weren't a dream, how could she be wearing pajamas right now?
So it's clear that this isn't 6 PM, but 6 AM.
The thought of those dangerous yet romantic experiences at the TV station, and those sweet moments spent together in the maple forest—none of it ever happened.
The red leaves couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It wasn't until I took off my pajamas and prepared to change that...
Only then did the red leaves discover the traces left by those sweet moments.
The girl's face immediately lit up with immense joy.
After quickly changing back into her usual clothes, Hongye went to the living room, called the housekeeper, and inquired about the afternoon's events.
Iori Muga was somewhat puzzled, but still answered truthfully:
“You, Miss, Mr. Itsuki, and Miss Suzuki spent about 30 minutes in the maple forest.”
"Afterwards, we returned to the living room and went to the room with the two of them to talk."
About half an hour later, Mr. Izuki and Miss Suzuki came out and said that Miss was tired and should rest. Then they left with the other four.
The red leaves began to indicate the time.
Since we've already spent 30 minutes in the maple forest...
This indicates that she remained in the hallucination for at least 25 minutes.
What about those 30 minutes in the room?
If I remember correctly, she should have already fainted at that time and had no relevant memory at all.
Could it be that Izuki Karita ventured into the illusion alone for another half hour?
"not……"
Hongye suddenly thought of a possibility.
But he quickly shut up and asked the butler some questions he had wanted to confirm.
Iori Muga nodded and replied, "I've watched that escape video repeatedly."
"We also interviewed the people at the scene and confirmed that you were very lucky, Miss, that you were not accidentally exposed."
Hongye breathed a sigh of relief. If she had been photographed exposing herself, she would have lost all face.
He then instructed the housekeeper to arrange some things.
An hour later, at seven o'clock in the evening.
Local evening news channels in Osaka have begun reporting on the bombing that occurred today.
It focuses on the heroic actions of Itake Karuta in rescuing a damsel in distress and capturing the main culprit in the bombing.
Finally, he added a sentence:
"According to rumors, the daughter of the Ooka family and Izuki Karuta fell in love at first sight during a time of crisis and secretly pledged their lives to each other..."
At 8:30 pm,
Hongye's phone rang.
It was a call from the garden.
"Red Leaf, you're such an idiot, using such a foolish method."
"Suzuki Sonoko, what do you mean by that?!"
"Then what do you mean? Are you deliberately spreading these fake news stories to try and tie Mr. Yizhu to someone?"
"This...this is just gossip, it has nothing to do with me. What I really want to ask you is, what exactly happened after I fainted this afternoon?"
Sonoko immediately retorted sarcastically, "Is that even a question? Koyo, didn't you say you were very smart? Can't you guess it?"
Hongye urged impatiently, "Speak quickly!"
Sonoko said proudly, "Of course, it was Mr. Itake and I who reached the finish line together and also received the precious honeydew."
The end of the Mind's Illusion is a small wooden cabin, and at the end of each adventure, there is one and only one serving of Honey Dew inside.
Last time, Xiaolan said that the taste of honeydew was extremely wonderful.
Sonoko tried it this time and immediately fell in love with it.
How could you do this? Those are mine!
Red Leaf was annoyed.
It was clearly her who painstakingly persevered through the illusion.
The gardener actually picked the fruit!
"Whose fault is this?"
Sonoko chuckled and said, "You can only blame yourself for being so incompetent that you fainted."
"At least I helped you wipe away your sweat and change your clothes, so that makes up for it."
Hongye said coldly, "This doesn't even begin to compensate for my losses..."
But before he could finish speaking,
Sonoko has already hung up the phone.
Because the group had arrived at the entrance of a five-star hotel.
After leaving Hongye's house in the afternoon
The three elementary school students from the Junior Detective League heard that Conan was solving a case, so they dragged Professor Agasa to the crime scene.
As for Izuki Karuta and Sonoko, they went to a dessert shop in downtown Osaka.
There, he met up with Ran, Kazuha, and Shizuka Ikenami.
