"Ki, if you can't sleep, you can come find me in my room."

That won't be necessary.

Hoshino Ki looked at her with a calm expression:

"Go to sleep!"

After Akemi Miyano left.

Hoshino Ki closed his door.

Only now.

Did Hoshino Ki have time to check his phone.

He picked up his phone and found.

Vermouth had sent him several messages.

The other party said she was coming to his house to find him.

And she had sent several messages at different times.

"Louis, I have something to ask you."

"You should be home now, right?"

After these few sentences.

About half an hour later.

Vermouth sent the last message.

"I'm here."

Hoshino Ki's eyes sank:

"!!!"

Vermouth is here?

She knows his home address?

This is a big deal?

Hoshino Ki hurriedly flipped through Vermouth's phone number.

Then he called her.

After waiting for about five or six seconds.

Vermouth answered the phone.

Hoshino Ki stood by the window, one hand on the table, his fingers gripping the tabletop tightly.

"Where are you now?"

Vermouth was silent for a few seconds.

She didn't answer this question, but asked back:

"Are you home?"

Hoshino Ki's eyes were deep as he opened the window and looked outside.

It was already too late to say he wasn't home.

Because he had already seen Vermouth's figure.

"Yeah, I am."

Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Her voice was tinged with a bit of charm:

"I'm downstairs at your place."

Hoshino Ki's heart tightened.

When did Vermouth arrive?

She shouldn't have seen the Miyano sisters, right?

Hoshino Ki gripped his phone tightly:

"When did you arrive, and how did you know my home address?"

"I just arrived."

Vermouth leaned against the wall, looking up at the window of Hoshino Ki's room:

"What? Not welcome?"

"I asked the children, and they told me naturally."

Hoshino Ki's eyes sank slightly.

Did she only ask for the address?

Were there any other things she asked about?

The fact that she could come to find him so openly.

Proved that Vermouth didn't know the true identities of the Miyano sisters.

Then what information did she want to know by coming here?

Hoshino Ki gripped the phone and said:

"I'll be down in a minute."

Vermouth smiled charmingly and dangerously:

"Hehe... won't you invite me to your house to sit for a while?"

"Or... are you hiding someone in your house?"

There was a hint of danger in Vermouth's words.

It carried the implication of "if you don't invite me in, you're dead."

"No, it's just that I happen to have something in my car to give you, I'm just coming downstairs to get it for you."

"Fine!"

Vermouth seemed to accept this reason.

She didn't doubt it anymore:

"I'll wait for you downstairs."

Hoshino Ki responded:

"Then I'm hanging up, I'll be down in a minute."

After hanging up the phone.

He opened the drawer and took out the keys to every room.

Then he walked toward the sisters' room.

Without giving the two of them a chance to speak.

Hoshino Ki locked the door decisively.

The doors in this villa cannot be opened by anyone once locked with a key.

The sound of the door lock turning wasn't loud.

But the villa was too quiet.

Both women heard it clearly.

They both ran to the door and twisted the doorknob.

After confirming that it really couldn't be opened.

They called out uncertainly:

"Ki!?"

Hoshino Ki didn't leave, he just stood between the two rooms.

After hearing the knocking, he knocked back twice.

Letting them know it was him who locked the door.

Akemi Miyano felt it was inexplicable and shouted loudly:

"Ki, did you lock my door?"

Why lock someone's room door when you have nothing to do?

Didn't I just go for a night raid at night?

I'm not a wild beast, is it necessary to guard against me like this?

Akemi Miyano leaned against the door and rolled her eyes.
