Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Everyone sat at the long table. Suzuki Sonoko sat at the head seat as the host, with Karasuma Akimitsu sitting on her left and Mori Kogoro on her right.

Maori Kogoro took the menu and began to look at the red wine. He felt that he had few opportunities to eat this kind of high-end French food and he couldn't waste it: "Red wine, red wine... let me see."

Dr. Agasa stood up and said to Conan embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Then he left his seat.

Himimiyuki reminded loudly: "No, Maori Dad, you still have to drive."

"What a coincidence! Isn't this Miss Sonoko?" A voice came from a man wearing a mask and followed by two bodyguards who walked to the long table. "It's been a long time since we last met."

"Who... are you?" Suzuki Sonoko looked carefully but still couldn't recognize him.

"I'm sorry for being rude." The man took off his mask and hat, revealing a middle-aged man with silver hair, glasses and a square face. "Thanks to President Suzuki's trust, I now work for Suzuki Security Company. My name is Nanjo Kinji."

"Oh, now I remember, you're the president who came to the golf party last year. Why are you wearing a mask? Do you have a cold?"

"No, because I was on a TV show recently and my words were a bit too harsh."

Maori Kogoro put down the menu and said, "Ah, I know, I know. After a safe deposit box was stolen by a thief, the president of a company that sells safe deposit boxes threatened to thieves that only I can open our safe deposit box. If you don't want to accept it, just steal me too. The person who said that on TV must be you."

"Yes, because of this, my family and company received many kidnapping notices and threatening letters."

Suzuki Sonoko and Nanjo continued to exchange a few words.

Conan looked around, jumped off the table and walked towards the bathroom.

Karasuma Akimitsu held the menu without saying anything. Haba Shiro looked at Conan going to the bathroom and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wait for Nanjo to say goodbye and leave.

Karasuma Akimitsu tilted his head to look at Haba Haku: "What's wrong? Haku?"

Hanaba Haku stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Okay, can we order the same meal?"

"Excuse me, Master."

Watching Hanaba Haku leave, Suzuki Sonoko turned around and asked with a smile: "Why don't you call me Brother Haku anymore?"

"Brother Bai? That's too corny. And why should I call him brother?" Karasuma Akimitsu waved his hand and said.

"More intimate?" Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head slightly. "But speaking of it, you are the head of the family now, so it is not appropriate to call someone brother casually. By the way, where is your brother Jin? Or brother?"

"Brother Zhen? Of course he is my brother."

Sitting in the corner, Huihara Ai shivered. Himiko looked at her worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Ai? Are you feeling cold?"

"Because Brother Zhen is the guardian?" Suzuki Sonoko asked while instructing the waiter about the dishes she needed.

"I'm an adult and don't need a guardian." Karasuma Akimitsu closed the menu and asked for today's restaurant recommendation. The waiter served drinks to everyone.

Maori Kogoro looked at the three empty seats and frowned: "Conan and Professor Agasa haven't come back yet? How can we order food?"

Suzuki Sonoko checked the time and said, "It doesn't matter. French food is always served slowly."

Haibara Ai looked around, ran to the seat next to Karasuma Akimitsu that was originally occupied by Haba Haku, and whispered, "Brother, can I sit next to you?"

Karasuma Akimitsu was a little surprised, but he still smiled and nodded, and touched Huihara Ai's hair: "Okay, I'll tell Bai to let him switch seats with you and go next to Edogawa."

"Where does my brother live now?"

"Karasuma Manor is by the sea. In the summer, the manor's outdoor swimming pool is nice, it's the kind of cliff swimming pool, you can come and play."

"Cliff swimming pool?" Yuan Tai had a question mark over his head. "A swimming pool on a cliff?"

"It's built on a cliff by the sea. There's glass on the sea side, so you can see the ocean below. It's quite beautiful. But the weather is too cold now, so let's wait until your summer vacation." Karasuma Akimitsu explained patiently.

Mitsuhiko said worriedly, "Isn't that dangerous?"

"Don't worry, there is a safety platform below. Unless you flip out of the swimming pool and land on the terrace below, and then deliberately flip out through a 1.5-meter-high glass wall." Karasuma Akimitsu looked at Mitsuhiko, "Your name is Mitsuhiko, right? You are such a cautious and smart kid."

"No...no. The smartest one here is Conan." Mitsuhiko scratched his head shyly.

"Heh..." Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

At this moment, there was a loud bang from the direction of the bathroom.

"Gunshot!" Several people in the restaurant lobby stood up at the same time.

Kogoro Mori warned the children, "Don't run around, stay where you are!" and hurried towards the direction of the gunshots.

Vodka stopped eating the appetizer he was about to eat and quickly walked through the restaurant to Karasuma Akimitsu. And Kazami Yuya, who was sitting at the same table with him, followed Maori Kogoro and rushed to the bathroom.

"I'm fine." Karasuma Akimitsu said to Vodka.

Vodka looked around the table: "Where's Yu Chang?"

"He went to the bathroom."

"How can he just leave you?"

Karasuma Akimitsu rolled his eyes: "He at least went to the bathroom, and you were just there for Miss Yoko's poster."

Suzuki Sonoko next to her couldn't help but laugh.

Huibara Ai lowered her head, gripped the edge of the stool with both hands, and trembled slightly.

Vodka then noticed the child: "Her hairstyle... reminds me of someone." He couldn't see the face, but Vodka felt inexplicably familiar with it.

"Her name is Huibara Ai, she's a very cute little girl. Don't scare her." Karasuma Akimitsu picked up the curled-up Huibara Ai and put her in his arms, covering her with the wide sleeves of his kimono. "Who do you think of?"

"Nothing..." Vodka thought of Nagai Hikaru's hostility towards Shirley and thought it would be better not to mention this name. "I think too much."

The light was blocked by the sleeves of her kimono, and Haibara Ai could not see anything. Leaning on Karasuma Akimitsu's chest, she closed her eyes and inexplicably felt a sense of security.

After a while, Haba Haku came back first. He glanced at Vodka standing behind Karasuma Akimitsu and said, "There was someone in the restroom with a gun who wanted to kidnap Dr. Agasa. He has been controlled. The gunshot just now was intended to threaten someone. There were no casualties."

"Dr. Agasa?" Karasuma Akimitsu was surprised. "What did Dr. Agasa provoke?"

"No, because Dr. Agasa exchanged coats with Nanjo in the bathroom, and the kidnapper recognized the wrong person." Shiraha Haba pulled out a chair and prepared to sit down.

Karasuma Akimitsu blocked it and said, "You sit next to Edogawa. This is for Ai."

It was then that Haba Haku unexpectedly noticed that Karasuma Mingguang was holding a child in his arms: "Little Ai?"

"Yeah, that shy kid just now."

When the children who were still at the table heard that it was Dr. Agasa who was in trouble, they all stood up: "Brother Yuba, is it safe over there? Is Dr. Agasa okay? Can we go over?"

"Okay, we've already called the police, but you should be careful when you go there and don't come into contact with the kidnappers."

Himimiyuki, Mitsuhiko and the others jumped off their chairs and hurried to the bathroom.

Vodka looked around and saw that the other guests in the restaurant did not move. "Then I will go back to eat. Master."

"Ah."

After Vodka left, Karasuma Akimitsu felt the rapid breathing of the person in his arms slowly calm down, and then he gently whispered: "Are you feeling better? Are you breathing well?"

"Sister..." Haibara Ai looked up with red eyes and met the blue eyes.

Karasuma Akimitsu looked at her eyes that were shedding tears again and sighed, "Alright, alright, I'll be your sister."

Suzuki Sonoko rested her chin on her hand and complained: "You compromised so quickly."

"She looks..." Karasuma Akimitsu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Haibara Ai's eyes.

"Does she look familiar? You used to like this girl very much and bought her a lot of bags and clothes." Suzuki Sonoko picked up the water glass and took a sip of juice.

"is it?"

Haku Haneba was still standing behind Karasuma Akimitsu, bowing slightly and looking from the side at Haibara Ai in his arms.

Huihara Ai climbed up, put her arms around Karasuma Mingguang's neck, and leaned her head on his shoulder: "Sister..."

"Yeah, I'm here." Karasuma Akimitsu touched Huihara Ai's head and turned to look at Haba Haku, "Did you subdue the kidnapper?"

"...No." Hanaba Shiro stood up straight, "I just stopped them for a while, Conan helped, and Mr. Maori and the others came over and held down the two kidnappers."

Karasuma Mingguang lowered his eyes and glanced at his waist: "It's good that you are not injured."

Habashiro followed his line of sight and pressed his hand to the pistol on his waist under his suit jacket: "Well, the kidnapper fired the gun, just to intimidate."

The police arrived very quickly, but Yuba Bai must have said something to them, as they did not ask about this side during the record-taking and interrogation.

Karasuma Akimitsu was not suitable to be associated with any events that might involve the media, so Suzuki Sonoko stayed by his side at the long table from beginning to end and did not leave to take a look over there.

Yokomizo Shigego and Maori Kogoro came out to the long table together and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Detective Maori. It's a good thing you were here this time, otherwise it would be troublesome if the kidnappers succeeded in abducting the person and left."

"You're welcome. Actually, I'm the queen..."

Hanaba Haku interrupted and said, "Yes, it's really thanks to Mr. Maori, otherwise Dr. Agasa would be in danger."

"Ah... who are you?" Officer Yokomizo looked at Shiro Haba.

"I'm just a bodyguard." When Haba Shiro saw Conan coming back with Professor Agasa and a few children, he sat next to Conan in the seat originally occupied by Haibara Ai.

Conan was surprised: "Why did you sit here?"

Habashiro made a look, and Conan noticed that Huihara Ai was on the side of Karasuma Akimitsu: "Why did she go there?"

Himimi pulled Conan and said, "The sound just now scared Ai, didn't it? The adults were all in the bathroom at that time."

Conan watched Huihara Ai sitting in Karasuma Akiko's arms, talking to him in a low voice, and then smiled obediently. Karasuma Akiko picked up the lemonade on the table and handed it to her, watching her hold the cup with both hands and drink it carefully.

The chef arrived and thanked Kogoro Mori for helping to prevent a kidnapping that was almost carried out in the restaurant. Although he knew that Miss Suzuki might not need it, he waived the cost of the meal as a thank you.

It was not until the main course was served that Haibara Ai left Karasuma Akimitsu's arms and sat on a separate chair, concentrating on picking up her French Thomas prawns.

Conan cut his steak in frustration and whispered in a low voice: "Damn it, it turns out that pretending to be pitiful is so effective."
