Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"I get it, brother-in-law! What you said makes me so sad!" Yuanzi's morale dropped a lot in an instant.

"By the way, Sonoko, I heard there are a lot of magic enthusiasts attending this party. Is that true?"

Xiaolan was as considerate as ever. Seeing that Sonoko was in a low mood, she immediately changed the subject and diverted Sonoko's attention.

"Yes, we all met on the Internet, so we are so-called netizens."

Xiaolan really understands Sonoko better. She knows what topics can attract her attention, and it always works!

"However, I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the famous Suzuki Group would use the computer to make friends?" Perhaps Kogoro Mouri was bored while driving, so he joined the chat channel and continued what Sonoko was saying.

"Please! In this information society, the Internet has become an indispensable tool. I think it would be best if you had one in your office, too!"

Sonoko faced the truth directly and frankly, and also gave Kogoro Mouri a suggestion, which made Kogoro Mouri feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

"Brother Maori, Sonoko's suggestion is quite pertinent. The Internet is developing at an increasingly faster pace and is becoming increasingly sophisticated. In the future, the channels for accepting commissions will not only be offline. There may be more and more online connections. It is indeed necessary to buy a computer.

I'll send a message to Uncle Ozaki and ask him to buy a few computers and place them in the detective agency, and then arrange the network cables."

After listening to this, Fujiwara Hiroshi felt that Sonoko's idea was indeed a good one. He slowly integrated into the rhythm of this world and almost forgot that the Internet was about to develop rapidly.

This must keep up with the times and cannot fail at critical moments. It is better to equip the network sooner rather than later!

"That's great, Brother Fujiwara. I'll leave it to you to arrange it!" Kogoro Mori suddenly recovered with full health and was full of energy again.

It's not that Kogoro Mouri didn't want to buy a computer, but the main reason was that the expense was too high. You have to know that computers at that time were big, bulky, and extremely expensive.

"But I really didn't expect that you, Sonoko, would suddenly make friends online? You even became interested in magic." Xiaolan didn't continue the topic of the detective agency purchasing computers, but asked Sonoko again.

"Because I suddenly met a rare person on the Internet!" Yuanzi held her face with both hands and said exaggeratedly.

"A rare person?" Xiaolan asked back, "Hey, hey, hey! Sonoko, you look so charming that Kyogoku, who's studying abroad, is so happy!"

"Oh, Xiaolan! That kind of thing won't happen. It's just admiration, you know what admiration is!" Sonoko restrained herself a little when she heard Xiaolan mention Kyogoku Makoto, then paused for a moment, still speaking excitedly to Xiaolan.

"His name is Doi Takeshu, he's 21 years old, and he's a regular at the Magic Lovers League.

Not only is his language humble, polite, and full of jokes, but he's also full of wisdom! Sometimes he even displays his exceptional literary grace! He must be a handsome man with both talent and beauty!"

Yuanzi looked like a crazy fan again. She swayed her body artificially while talking. She had already started fantasizing about the handsome guy before she even met him.

Although Fujiwara Hiroshi couldn't remember who this Doi Takeshu was or what his situation was, it was good enough that he could remember some major events in Conan.

However, according to Sonoko's law, when she goes out to meet friends, except for her reliable boyfriend Kyogoku Makoto, the rest are all problematic people.

Are there any handsome ones? Of course there are, there must be, but they are all playboys and pure-blooded scumbags!

The rest were just some oddballs that exceeded Yuanzi's imagination. As for the talented and beautiful ones that Yuanzi was expecting, that was just her fantasy about beauty.

Yuanzi doesn't care about talent or not. As everyone knows, Yuanzi is an old senior member of the Chunchun Appearance Association and has been pursuing beauty all her life!

I guess Sonoko is the only one dreaming about this Spring and Autumn period. Not only Fujiwara Hiroshi doesn't believe it, Xiaolan, who knows Sonoko well, also asked a similar question.

"Um... Yuanzi, you two haven't met yet?" How should I put it? Xiaolan was still quite subtle, just asking Yuanzi if they had met yet?

The implication is, you haven't even seen him, so how can you be sure he's a handsome guy? What if you end up seeing a fat otaku?

(Drag him out and get the knife, Iron Prophet, it’s confirmed!)

But Sonoko didn't seem to understand what Xiaolan meant. Xiaolan, why don't you be more straightforward next time instead of beating around the bush like this?

"Well, today is our first meeting! I plan to perform the magic trick I just did for him and surprise him!"

Sonoko followed what Xiaolan said and told her that it was their first meeting, and she also wanted to perform magic for Kid.

Although Kidd's disguise as Doi Takeshu is a fat otaku, Kidd himself is indeed a handsome guy. There is nothing wrong with the white suit and cape, except that it is a bit pretentious.

It's no wonder that Kyogoku Makoto would beat Kidd up when he faced him later, making Kidd run away in panic. I guess he knew that the girl he liked was secretly admiring another man. He was about to turn into the Hulk, so how could Kyogoku Makoto tolerate it?

But then again, if this garden really performed such a magic trick for that Doi Takeshu, Kidd would probably really question his life.

In Kidd's eyes, magic can be performed with just hands, and there are people who can perform it in front of him and perform it like this.

There were no surprises, but there were bound to be shocks! Doi Takeshu, who was far away in the villa, couldn't help but sneeze! He had a bad feeling!

"He won't be surprised!" Hahaha, Fujiwara Hiroshi held back and didn't say anything. Conan couldn't help it anymore. With his hands behind his head and neck, he suddenly spoke, interrupting Sonoko's fantasy.

"Hey!?" Sonoko and Ran turned to look at Conan at the same time after hearing what he said.

"That's just basic magic that you often see on TV shows!" Conan was still talking, not noticing that Sonoko's expression had changed.

Sonoko rolled her eyes at Conan, but Conan didn't realize it and continued to show off in front of Xiaolan, explaining the secret of Sonoko's magic.

"I think you put the knot on the red string into the ring and then pulled the string out with your thumb, right?"

"Souga!" Xiaolan looked as if she had suddenly understood. She had felt something was wrong before because Sonoko's technique was too slow, but after Conan explained the technique, it became clearer.

"This kid is still so annoying!" After listening to Conan's words, Sonoko's evaluation was that although what Conan said was the truth, it was annoying.

"Didn't Brother Fujiwara remind you just now? Don't perform in front of everyone, or you'll embarrass yourself!" Conan was still frantically testing the edge of Sonoko's outburst.

"Bang!!" Sonoko couldn't bear it anymore, she walked past Xiaolan and punched Conan directly, hitting Conan's head hard.

"Huh!!" After Sonoko threw a punch, she suddenly felt much more relaxed. Fujiwara Hiroshi smiled knowingly when he saw this scene. Now everyone has become accustomed to hitting Conan on the head.

"Ouch! It hurts!" Conan rubbed his head with both hands. There was nothing he could do. Conan was usually hit by Fujiwara Hiroshi and Maori Kogoro, but this was the first time Sonoko hit him!

It's over. Sonoko also learned bad things from Fujiwara Hiroshi. He is really miserable. Everyone wants to hit his head. Alas, he will be made stupid sooner or later!

"Conan, are you okay?" Xiaolan offered her comfort in time, and then helped Conan rub the wound while complaining to Sonoko.

"Sonoko, you are such a fool! Conan is just a little kid, and you're still arguing with him. Besides, Conan has a cold, how can you treat him like this!"

"Who made this brat so annoying?! My brother-in-law reminded me, so of course I understood. That's why I said I'd perform it alone for Doi Takeshu.

This annoying kid not only exposed my magic tricks, but also openly mocked me. I was so pissed off that if he hadn't caught a cold, I would have hit him.

I let him go once, but he still doesn't know what's good for him, and he's using my brother-in-law's name to mock me again. This is intolerable! I'm just giving him a small warning by punching him!"

Sonoko said angrily. It's true, Conan is too mean. Sonoko was officially offline and had fantasies before meeting Doi Takeki.

Conan dampened her enthusiasm in this way, and Sonoko was so angry that she wouldn't be polite to Conan. She didn't care whether he was cold or not, she would vent her anger first.

"Don't be angry, Sonoko! He's in a bad mood because I went to your party without him!"

Xiaolan really understands. Seeing that Sonoko is angry and is about to punch Conan again when she gets excited, she acts as a peacemaker in the middle!

"But is this really okay? We were not originally in your group." Xiaolan was about to reach the villa on the mountain, and was still asking Yuanzi this question.

Obviously, Xiaolan is still a little afraid and nervous about such a gathering of almost all strangers, which is also a common symptom among people with social anxiety.

On the contrary, Fujiwara Hiroshi was completely indifferent and looked calm, which also caught Xiaolan's attention. So Xiaolan asked Fujiwara Hiroshi in the front row.

"Brother Fujiwara, don't you feel embarrassed going to a party you're completely unfamiliar with?"

"Of course! There's nothing to be embarrassed about. For me, attending gatherings of strangers like this has been a common occurrence since I was a child!

Even though I've turned down most dinner parties, I've still attended plenty of them with strangers. Relax, it's no big deal!

Fujiwara Hiroshi said this very calmly, as if he was talking about something as simple as drinking boiled water.

"Huh!? Is it really that simple? Brother Fujiwara, why does it feel so difficult? I don't even know how to communicate with them properly.

How to find common topics with them? Although Yuanzi had never met them before, they had been chatting online for a long time.

They had something to talk about with each other, but I don’t usually pay attention to magic, so I didn’t know how to start the conversation, so I felt nervous.”

Xiaolan listed all the situations and questions she was worried about, as well as her doubts about how to find a way to communicate with them.

Xiaolan didn't understand why Fujiwara Hiroshi could completely block out all of this, or how he broke the ice and resolved this awkward situation. Xiaolan really wanted to learn from him.

"Xiao Lan, you're overthinking it. These problems of yours are not a problem at all for my brother-in-law, because he has never communicated with others in those venues since he was a child.

If you say he's socially anxious, he's not nervous or timid. If you say he's socially adept, he never actively communicates with others.

Doesn’t it feel special and magical? It’s unique in the whole party! "

Sonoko directly told Xiaolan about Fujiwara Hiroshi's situation, and said that Fujiwara Hiroshi's method could not be learned and would never be learned, as it was unique to him.

"Oh! Okay, so that's it!" Xiaolan said with a twitching eye.

"Xiaolan, there's no need to be nervous. Honestly, my method is to just pretend they don't exist and be myself quietly!

I'm not like your boyfriend. He's a typical exhibitionist. He wants everyone to pay attention to him and likes to be the center of attention.

I hope to stand in the center of everyone's attention and shout to everyone: Everyone, look at me!

But I won’t. I just hope that the external disturbances will not bother me. But you don’t need to worry. If you are really nervous at that time, you won’t know who to talk to so that it won’t be so awkward.

You can always come and chat with me. Although I won't pay attention to strangers who attend parties, I have no problem communicating with friends.

Simply put, it’s not that I can’t communicate, I just don’t want to waste my time interacting with people with whom I don’t have much in common! ”

While Fujiwara Hiroshi was trying to persuade and guide Xiaolan, he cited the example of Kudo Shinichi.

Indeed, what Fujiwara Hiroshi said is correct. Xiaolan's original personality is not the type of social cow. She was more influenced by Kudo Shinichi since childhood.

Because Kudo Shinichi's personality is that of a social cow, he can interrupt other people's conversations anytime and anywhere. Xiaolan also follows behind Kudo Shinichi and talks to others, and then integrates into the communication with others.

To put it bluntly, Xiaolan was nervous because this time, the club idol Shinichi Kudo was not with her, and she instinctively felt nervous because she had to face and communicate with others independently.

This situation was directly pointed out by Fujiwara Hiroshi. After listening to Fujiwara Hiroshi's analysis, Xiaolan was also thinking about the situation thoughtfully.

Kogoro Mouri is also unhappy with Ran's rumored boyfriend, the guy from the Kudo family, but it was Fujiwara brother who said this this time. If it were someone else, Kogoro Mouri would have had to refute him at least.
