"It's good that you have the intention!" Yuriko Takagi said slowly to the middle-aged woman.
"Hmm." The middle-aged woman nodded in response, then began to scrutinize Takashiro Yuriko in front of her.
At this moment, Yuriko Takashiro did indeed look very weak, but the blush on her face puzzled her.
The blush seemed to be caused by shyness.
Of course, it could also be caused by illness.
However, the middle-aged woman was pretty sure that Yuriko Takagi was sick, and quite seriously so!
This is good news for her!
Because as long as Yuriko Takagi remains sick, she won't return to the camp, thus keeping the camp under their control.
To be honest, the middle-aged woman was afraid that Yuriko Takagi would recover from her illness and go back home!
If Yuriko Takagi goes back and makes empty promises to those people, then those people in the camp are very likely to defect again.
The group of people in the camp only listen to whoever treats them well. If it weren't for the middle-aged man with bandages promising to let them allocate the mall's resources themselves after taking over the supermarket, they wouldn't have agreed to join them.
"By the way, Saya Takagi, I'd like to take Yoru and Saeko Busujima with me when we go to search for supplies tomorrow. Is that alright?" Jingu I asked Saya Takagi.
"Huh?!" Takagi Saya was also taken aback after hearing Jingu Ichi's words.
“Sure! You can arrange it!” Takagi Saya replied to Jingu Ichi.
Saya Takagi was also a little puzzled by Jingu Ichi's sudden question.
Because, when it comes to arranging people, Jingu Ichi can do it himself; there's no need to tell her! She's the leader; how could Takagi Saya not listen to him?!
Huh?! Joel!
Upon hearing the name "Yol," the middle-aged woman's eyes widened, and her expression subtly changed.
Because the middle-aged man with bandages had approached her and specifically instructed her to pay attention to "Yor's" movements.
Joel is the psychological trauma of the middle-aged man wrapped in bandages!
He believed that as long as Joel was still in the mall, their plan to seize it would not succeed.
Moreover, the middle-aged man with bandages said that the best time for them to make their move was when Joel left the mall.
Is Jingu planning to send Joel out to search for supplies tomorrow? I must tell this to the middle-aged man with bandages!
The middle-aged woman thought to herself.
"Big sister, you should get some rest! The people at the camp are all waiting for you to come back!" the middle-aged woman said to Takagi Yuriko.
His tone was full of concern.
"Yes, I understand." Yuriko Takagi nodded in response to the middle-aged woman's words.
Saya Takagi felt she was getting in the way, so she wisely left.
She wanted to give Jingu Ichi and Takashiro Yuriko some space to be alone.
Because she knew very well that if she didn't do that, then that guy, Jingu Yi, would very likely make her join.
"Mr. Jingu, I feel that woman is a bit strange." After the middle-aged woman left, Yuriko Takagi immediately spoke to Jingu.
"Hehe, as expected of Mrs. Takagi!! She saw right through that person at a glance." Jingu I immediately chimed in after hearing Takagi Yuriko's words.
"Huh?! What happened to her?!" Yuriko Takagi asked Yi Jingu curiously.
“That woman is with the middle-aged man with bandages,” Jingu I replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"Huh?! This..." Upon hearing Jingu I's words, Takagi Yuriko was completely stunned.
"Are you sure!?" Upon hearing Jingu I's words, Takagi Yuriko frowned slightly and then asked Jingu I to confirm.
“Yes, I’m sure, it was her and the skinny man who teamed up to kill the fat uncle!!” Jingu I replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"Huh?! How do you know this?!" Yuriko Takagi asked curiously.
“It’s simple! Because the people who threw the fat man’s body out were her and the skinny man.” Jingu I replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"No, then why are you sure it was her and the skinny man who killed the fat man?!" Yuriko Takagi asked curiously.
When Jingu Yi made his statement, he was very calm, as if he had been right there when the fat uncle was being choked.
"Heh, do you think a skinny man can handle a fat old man all by himself?!" Jingu I asked Takagi Yuriko.
"Huh?! This... a sneak attack should work, right?" Yuriko Takagi replied to Ichi Jingu.
"Hehe, even if it was a sneak attack, the fat uncle fought back desperately, and the skinny man couldn't control the situation!" Jingu Yi replied to Takagi Yuriko.
"No! Mr. Jingu, you're talking as if you saw it with your own eyes!" Yuriko Takashiro couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to Jingu.
"Hehe." Shen Gongyi also gave a helpless bitter smile.
Because he was actually there at the time, and he personally witnessed the thin man and the middle-aged woman attacking the fat man.
However, he wouldn't say it out loud. If he did, wouldn't that be admitting that she failed to save him?!

"Mr. Jingu, you just deliberately revealed Ms. Joel's whereabouts, didn't you?!" Suddenly, Yuriko Takagi spoke to Jingu.
Yuriko Takagi wasn't anything special either; when Izumi Jingu instructed Saya Takagi just now, Saya was completely bewildered.
Moreover, as the leader of the shopping mall, Jingu Yi could simply decide who to send to search for supplies with a single word, without needing to tell Takagi Saya at all.
"Huh?! You figured it out?!" Upon hearing Yuriko Takagi's words, Ichiro Jingu also looked quite surprised.
"Heh, of course I saw it! I'm not stupid!" Yuriko Takagi said irritably.
"Mr. Jingu, why did you deliberately mention Joel's whereabouts?!" Yuriko Takagi asked Jingu.
“Hehe, the middle-aged man with bandages has a phobia of Joel. When she’s in the mall, the middle-aged man with bandages doesn’t dare to make any big moves.” Jingu Yi replied to Takashiro Yuriko in front of him.
"Oh, so the reason you spread the news was actually to make Lao Beng and the others take action, right?!" After hearing Jingu Yi's words, Takagi Yuriko also spoke to Jingu Yi.
“Mm.” Shen Gongyi nodded in response.
"..." Seeing Jingu I nod, Takagi Yuriko's expression also became subtle.
If I'm not mistaken, Jingu Yi's plan is about to begin.
"I need to rest now, Mr. Jingu, you can go about your business," Yuriko Takagi said to Jingu.
As Yuriko Takagi spoke, she lay down and closed her eyes, looking as if she was about to rest.
"..." Seeing Yuriko Takagi's appearance, Ichigo Shingu sighed helplessly.
Yuriko Takashiro is probably struggling with this decision right now.
Jingu Yi didn't want to disturb her rest, so he left the lounge directly.
After Jingu left, the rest area became much quieter, and Takashiro Yuriko also reopened her eyes.
Her face was full of worry.
……
"It seems we haven't used today's simulation yet!" After leaving Takashiro Yuriko's rest room, Jingu Yi slowly spoke up.
[Number of simulations available today: 3.]
[Start simulation?!]
A phantom voice rang in Shen Gongyi's ears.
"Yes! Start the simulation!!" Shen Gongyi said to the simulator without any hesitation.
[Simulation started!]
After you finish searching for supplies today, go find Yuriko Takashiro.
Because you knew someone would come to see her today.
As expected, while you were visiting Yuriko Takagi, someone else came to visit her—it was that middle-aged woman.
[The middle-aged woman came to see her under the pretense of visiting Yuriko Takashiro, but in reality, she wanted to observe her condition.]
You were fully aware of the middle-aged woman's intentions, but you didn't expose her.
After glancing at the "weak" Takashiro Yuriko, she decided to leave.
[Before the middle-aged woman left, you deliberately mentioned that you wanted Joel to search for supplies tomorrow.]
The middle-aged woman was quite surprised upon hearing the information you provided, but her expression quickly returned to normal after a moment of surprise.
After the middle-aged woman left, you chatted with Yuriko Takashiro for a while before also leaving.
[You know, Yuriko Takashiro is probably in a very bad mood right now.]
After leaving Yuriko Takagi's apartment, you encounter Saya Takagi, who is assigning tasks to others.
Upon seeing her, you hesitated for a moment, then pulled her into a corner and chiseled her away.
[You then realized that it had been a while since you had any in-depth academic discussions with him.]
[Saya Takagi was also speechless at your sudden action!]
She went to visit Yuriko Takagi with the middle-aged woman, and she arrived even before the middle-aged woman, hearing strange noises at the door.
[When the middle-aged woman left, she hurriedly followed, probably afraid you might do something to her.]
I didn't expect you to catch me even after I left the lounge!
However, after a deeper exchange and learning session with you, she was quite satisfied.
Soon, an image appeared on the virtual screen.
The picture shows a corner of the shopping mall.
