Chapter 132

Therefore, she was very worried, afraid that Ran would be hurt.

Being with such a man was a huge challenge.

It was not something an ordinary girl could withstand.

Also, thanks to Yunwu Yunwu Zhirao for the update tickets; your support is my motivation.

"I am indeed somewhat clear, but I want to hear you say what you think of Ran." Eri Kisaki looked at Akaso Kaze.

Ran Mouri looked at Akaso Kaze with anticipation.

She knew very well what Akaso Kaze thought of her, but she still wanted to hear him say it a few more times.

Especially in front of Eri Kisaki.

"Ran is a gentle and kind girl. She cares about me and everyone around her. I love her innocence and kindness."

Akaso Kaze took Ran Mouri’s small hand, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Ran Mouri felt a bit embarrassed by his gaze and lowered her head again.

Akaso Kaze slowly leaned toward Ran Mouri, lifted her chin with one hand, and kissed her.

Seeing this scene, Eri Kisaki’s face flushed, and she turned her head away.

Ran Mouri was stunned.

A few seconds later, she reacted and struggled, wanting to pull away.

Akaso Kaze held Ran Mouri tightly, with no intention of letting her go.

Ran Mouri could only give up the futile struggle, her face bright red, eyes closed.

A few minutes later.

Akaso Kaze released Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri leaned into Akaso Kaze’s arms, too shy to lift her head.

"Akaso-kun, you actually dare to treat Ran like this in front of me? Aren't you afraid I’ll get angry?"

Eri Kisaki said, deliberately keeping a straight face.

Only she knew.

In her heart, there was a trace of envy and a little bit of jealousy.

How could I be jealous of my own daughter?

She quickly dismissed the thought.

"Um, I was willing..." Ran said, her face red.

"Ms. Eri Kisaki, don't scare Ran; she is my woman now, you know."

Akaso Kaze said calmly.

His words made Eri Kisaki’s heart shake.

This man... is too overbearing.

Hearing such words, Ran Mouri felt even more dizzy.

"Ran, even if you like him, you can’t just be submissive to him in everything. If you do, you’ll easily get hurt. Besides, you’re still a high school student; what if you suddenly..."

Eri Kisaki didn't know why, but she suddenly blurted it out.

Akaso Kaze was stunned.

This woman had actually thought that far ahead...

"Ahem, Ms. Eri Kisaki, Ran and I haven't reached that step yet." Akaso Kaze couldn't help but cough twice to interrupt Eri Kisaki.

Ran Mouri lowered her head in embarrassment.

As a high school student, she naturally knew about such things and understood what Eri Kisaki meant.

Mom is being too blunt.

Eri Kisaki’s face also turned red.

But for some reason, hearing that the two hadn't done such things yet.

She felt a little bit of relief in her heart.

I must be relieved for my daughter, not because of anything else.

Eri Kisaki silently comforted herself.

That night, Ran didn't go home but stayed at the hotel with Eri Kisaki.

"Ran, that Akaso Kaze has several women, did you know that?"

Lying in bed, Eri Kisaki looked at her daughter with concern.

Ran Mouri’s expression was complex, but she said without hesitation: "A man like him is not someone I can possess entirely by myself."

"Liking him is my own choice."

"But you’re at such a disadvantage." Eri Kisaki looked at her daughter with surprise.

"He is so handsome, so charming, so wealthy and powerful, and possesses influence that others can hardly reach."

"Being with him, I feel very happy and secure."

"Just thinking about potentially losing him makes me feel like I can’t breathe."

"Mom, do you understand that feeling?"

"I would rather share him with others than leave his side."

Ran’s eyes were sparkling.

"Silly child!" Eri Kisaki hugged Ran.

Her daughter had indeed inherited her personality.

Liking strong men.

The more powerful the man, the more fatal the attraction he had for her.

And wasn't I the same?

Eri Kisaki sighed softly.

"Since that’s the case, Mom will help you."

"To attract such a man, you need to give him some benefits often."

A blush appeared on Ran Mouri’s face. Give Akaso-san some benefits?

Did the time in the hallway at the game exhibition a few days ago count?

Thinking of that day, Ran Mouri turned red all over.

Although she knew many things, she was still shy when it came to actually doing them.

Seeing Ran Mouri like this, Eri Kisaki leaned into her ear and whispered instructions.

The more Ran Mouri heard, the shyer she became, and her little head lowered more and more.

As Eri Kisaki spoke, scenes flashed through her mind, and a charming blush couldn't help but appear on her face.

But she was suddenly startled.

The male lead in those scenes was, of course, Akaso Kaze.

But the female lead was actually herself!

Eri Kisaki suddenly fell silent.

Ran didn't know what she was thinking either.

The two remained silent for several seconds.

Eri Kisaki was the first to react, looking at Ran Mouri, who was still shy, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ran hadn't noticed anything.

She knew that Ran Mouri’s observation skills were strong, and that must have come from her.

"Alright, it’s getting late, Ran, get some rest." Eri Kisaki reminded her.

"Mm." Ran Mouri came back to her senses.

The two lay in bed, back to back.

Each thinking of their own private thoughts.

Only the man in them was the same...

Early morning, Kisaki Law Office.

"Good morning, teacher." Student and assistant Midori Kuriyama greeted Eri Kisaki.

"Good morning, Kuriyama."

Just as Eri Kisaki was about to enter her office, Midori Kuriyama suddenly remembered something.

"Teacher, a box of chocolates arrived this morning; I put it on your desk."

"Chocolates?"

"Yes, could it be from someone who likes you? After all, you have quite a few suitors." Midori Kuriyama guessed.

Eri Kisaki walked into the inner office and indeed saw a box of chocolates on the desk.

Picking up the chocolates, Eri Kisaki’s heart skipped a beat.

She had just given her business card to Akaso Kaze yesterday, which had her office address on it.

Could this be from him?

But what does it mean to send chocolates to your mother-in-law...

Eri Kisaki’s heartbeat quickened.

She took out her phone and found Akaso Kaze’s number, which she had just saved yesterday.

She wanted to call and ask, but stopped herself.

How could she ask such a thing?

Eri Kisaki hesitated for a while, opened the packaging, picked up a chocolate, and put it in her mouth.

A strange taste immediately filled her mouth.

"Cough! Cough!"

Realizing something was wrong, Eri Kisaki wanted to spit the chocolate out, but the drug took effect too quickly.

Before she could even call out to Midori Kuriyama outside, she collapsed to the floor.

She struggled to tap the phone number she had just opened with her finger.

The other side answered the phone quickly.

"Ms. Eri Kisaki, is something the matter?"

A deep male voice came through the phone.

"Save, save me!"

Eri Kisaki said with difficulty.

Akaso Kaze on the other end frowned.

Something happened?

A 3D map of Tokyo instantly appeared in his mind.

Ever since his Gate of Space was upgraded to intermediate, he could travel to any place he had been to or seen before.

Akaso Kaze had specifically traveled through every street and alley in Tokyo, memorizing all the key locations.

Now he could use magic to travel to any area in Tokyo, taking only a moment to open and close the gate.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared downstairs at Eri Kisaki’s office.

In another blink, he had entered Eri Kisaki’s office.

The primary Gate of Space could enter any space within a hundred meters.

"Ms. Eri Kisaki?"

Seeing Eri Kisaki collapsed on the floor, Akaso Kaze walked quickly to her side and checked her condition with his Eye of Space.

Seeing the chocolates scattered on the floor, combined with the faint smell of pesticide, Akaso Kaze immediately thought of what kind of incident this was.

Eri Kisaki had been poisoned!

If it were an ordinary person, they would have to be rushed to the hospital.

Akaso Kaze was different; he first used his Mind Hand to remove the poisoned chocolate Eri Kisaki had eaten.

Then he used the Water Pillar Technique to wash her stomach.

In a moment, the toxins were cleared away.

For the toxins that had already been absorbed, Akaso Kaze also had a way.

He had long prepared various special medicines in his space.

Some were bought from pharmacies.

Some were collected through those large financial groups and factions.

Others were developed by Ai Haibara’s laboratory.

Ai Haibara was indeed a genius scientist; in a short time, she had developed quite a few potions.

With such a large pile of drugs, Akaso Kaze certainly couldn't know and remember their individual effects.

But this little matter was not a problem for a magician.

Prediction magic.

Which potion would cure Eri Kisaki the fastest?

An arrow immediately pointed to a certain pink potion.

This color looked so eerie.

Akaso Kaze took it out and looked at it; it was a new potion developed by Ai Haibara.

He had asked her about side effects at the time.

Ai Haibara blushed and didn't say.

In such an urgent moment, Akaso Kaze didn't have time to think too much.

What side effect could compare to saving a life?

Besides, he had tested it with prediction magic; this thing absolutely couldn't have fatal side effects.

Since that was the case, why not use it?

Akaso Kaze looked at the dosage written on the bottle and, following the maximum amount, poured it into Eri Kisaki.

After taking the medicine, Eri Kisaki’s complexion immediately turned from pale to rosy.

She gasped for air, her chest rising and falling continuously.

Akaso Kaze observed the woman’s changes carefully.

The changes... were really big.

It seemed Ran hadn't inherited her mother’s true legacy yet.

Compared to Eri Kisaki, she was clearly a size smaller.

Eri Kisaki’s face gradually became rosy, her body felt hot, and she moved around unconsciously.

Was this a side effect of the antidote?

Akaso Kaze was a bit puzzled.

He felt he couldn't let Eri Kisaki keep lying on the floor.

So he reached out and picked her up in a princess carry.

Looking around, there was a small door not far away.

He peeked inside with his Eye of Space and found it was a small room with a shower and a restroom.

Akaso Kaze curled his lip; this mother-in-law was really a workaholic.

She might not even go home at night.

But that was just right; it was better than being on the sofa.

If someone suddenly walked in while she was on the sofa and saw him appearing out of nowhere and hugging Eri Kisaki, they would probably misunderstand something.
