In Conan, people have a brain option system

9:20 am.

Akikawa Kyusuke and Itakura Misaki took the train to the Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward.

There are still three days until the official start of the exhibition.

As a guest of the exhibition, Akikawa Kongsuke came here in advance because he wanted to meet the guests who participated in the interview in this exhibition.

Since Akikawa Sousuke was more of a background during the interviews at this exhibition.

Therefore, he does not need to rehearse more than half a month in advance like the main guest and host.

There is no need to memorize a lot of lengthy professional knowledge.

He only needs to come to the site three days before the official start of the exhibition, familiarize himself with the specific interview process, and maintain the personality according to the arrangement.

Misaki Itakura took Kyusuke Akikawa into the International Exhibition Hall.

We arrived at the meeting place specified by the organizer in advance.

In order to make a good impression on others as an artist, Misaki Itakura and Kyusuke Akikawa arrived at the work site more than half an hour in advance.

She took Akikawa Kyusuke to greet the organizer and made introductions.

Then before leaving, he solemnly told Akikawa Kūsuke:

"Mr. Akikawa, although this work can be said to be completely deviated from the entertainment industry, you must remember to maintain a good character."

"Also, I heard that Mr. Tsukino Takashi, the new department head of the Tsukino Foundation, will also participate in the interview as a guest."

"The Tsukino Foundation is the organizer of this exhibition, and Mr. Tsukino Takashi is the future successor of the Tsukino Foundation, but you must not offend him!"

"good."

Akikawa Kyousuke responded to Itakura Misaki's instructions in extremely brief words.

After finishing her instructions, Itakura Misaki left the Tokyo International Exhibition Center.

After a while, a staff member came over and handed Akikawa a picture album.

"Mr. Akikawa, here are the pictures and introductions of all the exhibits in this exhibition."

"Attention, the contents of the exhibits marked in red [Secret] on the previous pages need to be kept strictly confidential."

“Absolutely nothing can be revealed to anyone until the final exhibit is revealed.”

Seeing Akikawa Kongsuke nodding in agreement, the staff continued to add:

"The gathering time is ten o'clock in the morning. The other guests should be here after a while."

"You can look through the album for a while to get a general understanding of the contents of the exhibits."

After the staff gave instructions and left, Akikawa Kousuke reached out and opened the album on the table.

The first exhibit in the album is a ruby ​​called [Crimson Shadow Heart].

Judging from the reference in the photo, this gem is about half the size of an egg.

The cut of this gemstone appears to be extremely exquisite, and its weight is probably tens of carats.

The outer edge of the stone is a deep red that gradually transitions into a purple-tinged halo towards the center.

The color forms a natural gradient from outside to inside, showing a rich sense of layering.

Through the smooth and transparent surface of the gemstone, the fire effect naturally formed inside it can be clearly captured.

Even the still photos in the album still show its brilliance as if burning under the light.

Needless to say, this is definitely the most important exhibit of this exhibition as Misaki Itakura described.

It is also one of the collections that the staff just asked Akikawa Kongsuke to keep secret.

‘I was just verbally told not to leak the information, but I was not asked to sign a confidentiality agreement or anything like that. ’

‘It seems that the official launch time is approaching, this gem will be revealed soon’

Akikawa Kyousuke stared at the gem in the album that he knew was worth a lot of money at a glance, and thought in his heart.

At this moment, the door to the room where he was was pushed open again.

Akikawa Kongsuke raised his eyes and looked,

Then I saw a young woman who was about college age wearing rimless glasses and looking very artistic, walking in.

After she entered the room, she quickly noticed Akikawa Kyusuke who was looking towards her.

An expression of confusion and surprise appeared on her beautiful, intellectual cheeks.

Akikawa Kyusuke stood up and introduced himself.

"First time we meet, I am Akikawa Kyusuke, the artist of Wonderful. This time I am here to perform as a guest."

"Oh, oh! So that's it!"

"My name is Seto Rin. I am a junior at Sophia University, majoring in art history. I am also a guest at this exhibition."

A student named Rin Seto also introduced himself to Sosuke Akikawa.

"It seems that the Tsukino Foundation has really selected guests from all walks of life this time. I hope this exhibition can attract more people to become interested in art history."

Perhaps because she also saw that Akikawa Kyusuke was about the same age as herself, Seto Rin started talking to Akikawa Kyusuke very familiarly.

She saw the album in Akikawa Kyusuke's hand that was turned to the page of Scarlet Shadow's Heart, so she continued:

"Mr. Akikawa is also attracted to this gem."

"Although I haven't seen the real thing yet, I'm sure it will be much more beautiful than the photos!"

"Isn't it incredible that such beautiful gemstones can be formed naturally in the world?"

"Indeed, it's quite impressive."

Akikawa Kyusuke sighed.

While Akikawa Kyusuke and Seto Rin were chatting, the door to the room was pushed open again.

Then a woman who was not yet thirty years old came in.

Although Akikawa Kongsuke didn't know him.

But just by looking at the professional suit and smart dress of the other party, I guessed that the other party should be the host of this exhibition interview.

Rin Seto's next introduction also proved that Akikawa Kyusuke's speculation was correct.

"Her name is Nakamura Harina, and she is the host of this interview."

"Miss Nakamura is a host who specializes in hosting historical and artistic programs and activities, so she is very professional."

Subsequently, the guests who had participated in the rehearsal in advance also came to the rehearsal site one after another.

Through self-introduction to each other later.

Akikawa Kongsuke also knew the name and identity of the next guest——

As the main guest of this exhibition interview, the old professor Matsumoto Kenichi is very familiar with the history of the Showa period and various historical and cultural heritages.

The hour hand gradually points to ten o'clock.

The last guest finally arrived at the venue.

This is a man with conspicuous short blond hair, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and a very handsome appearance.

Through Seto Rin's introduction, Akikawa Kongsuke also learned about the other party's identity.

Toru Amuro.

——A man with many years of experience working in a luxury jewelry store in Ginza, Tokyo.
