Conan: Naruto

Sotomura Jokichi looked at Takeo Nonaka, who was avoiding his eyes and looking straight ahead, and then at Yukari Takano, who was not focusing on anything, and revealed calmly:

"Mr. Takeo has a gambling debt, Ms. Takano needs funds to run the gallery, and as for me..."

Sotomura Jokichi looked at Xiaolan and the others and stated calmly:

“I’m here for the taster-related fees.”

"Oh......"

Xiaolan and the other three nodded politely.

At this time, a lady, Shuko Kusaka, came in wearing a light pink shoulder-length dress, a pearl necklace, her ears decorated with crystal jewelry, and fluffy crimson hair reaching to the back of her chest.

She stopped on the mahogany floor to the right of Xiaolan, looked at everyone softly, and asked with a smile:

"What topics are you talking about and you seem to be having a lot of fun~?"

"Yes."

Sotomura Jokichi rested his right hand on his right leg, held the wine glass in his left hand and placed it on the right front of his lower abdomen. He calmly looked at Kusaka Shuko and said politely:

"I just said... Every time I attend Mr. Shengping's party, I can drink rare wine, and I often look forward to coming to the party.

Apparently, everyone feels the same way I do. "

"Shengping would be very happy if he knew about this."

Kusaka Shuko folded her hands in front of her body and smiled gently.

"By the way, Mrs. Shuzi."

Sotomura Jokichi gestured politely:

“Can we start the wine tasting?”

Sotomura Jokichi looked at Kusaka Shohei and Mouri Kogoro, who were chatting happily and happily, and joked casually:

"Mr. Shengping is too busy dealing with famous detectives and seems to have completely forgotten about us."

"it is good."

Kusaka Yoshiko looked back at Moori Kogoro and Kusaka Shohei, looked at Tomura Jokichi calmly, and responded softly:

"I'm going to remind Shengping now."

"Then I'll trouble Mrs. Shuzi."

Sotomura Jokichi watched politely as Kusaka Yoshiko turned around and walked towards Kusaka Shohei.

At the same time, Shengping looked at Mouri Kogoro in front of him happily, and suggested with a hearty smile:

"It's rare for you to come here, why don't I show you the wine cellar in the basement?"

"Uh......"

Mouri Kogoro, who hoped to drink earlier, looked at Kusaka Shohei with a little embarrassment.

Shengping placed his hands on both sides of his chest, palms facing each other, and couldn't wait to explain:

"There is wine stored there that I am proud of!"

Mouri Kogoro smiled politely, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Kusaka Shuko stopped on the right side of Kusaka Shengping at the right time, looked at Shengping elegantly, and called out gently:

"Shengping."

"Ok?"

Kusaka Shohei's interest was interrupted, and he subconsciously looked at Kusaka Shuko with slight dissatisfaction.

Shuzi persuaded in a soft voice:

"Shengping, other guests are waiting to taste wine."

"Ah, I completely forgot about the wine tasting!!"

After Kusaka Shohei realized it, he patted his head, looked at Mouri Kogoro in an easy-going manner, and invited him kindly:

"Detective Mori, please follow me."

"it is good."

Mouri Kogoro nodded steadily and followed Kusaka Shohei to the crowd leisurely.

Shengping stopped on the right, looked at the people holding wine glasses and stood up to greet them, and greeted apologetically:

"Sorry, sorry for keeping you waiting."

"I thought that was the end of today's party."

Sotomura Jokichi put his left hand in his trouser pocket and looked at the sunset with grace.

"I'm so sorry, but then again."

Kusaka Shohei looked at Sotomura Jokichi and suggested calmly:

"Today, we will change the wine tasting method. Mr. Zhangji will taste the wine and tell the name of the wine."

"Okay."

Sotomura Jokichi acknowledged freely and said:

"Your suggestions are indeed interesting."

"Mr. Jokichi is a wine taster."

Nonaka Takeo looked at Kusaka Shohei and chatted warmly:

"He must be able to name the wine in no time."

"I don't think so."

Takano Yukari looked at Sunshine Shenghei and guessed elegantly:

"Mr. Shengping is well prepared and must be preparing to display special collections of famous wines."

“The sommelier is supposed to get the name of the wine right. If he gets the name wrong, he will be embarrassed.

but......"

Sotomura Jokichi confidently looked at Sunshine Shohei, and gestured proudly:

"If there is no benefit..."

"In that case."

Hinata Shengping looked at Sotomura Jokichi calmly and stated happily:

"If Mr. Jokichi can name all the wines correctly..."

Rixia Shengping's eyes narrowed, and he told in a solemn voice:

"I will promise what you said."

"Very good, now I have no reason to refuse at all."

Sotomura Jōkichi looked at the sunset with great dignity, and his words were sharp.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi looked at this scene calmly, thinking curiously in their hearts:

"What is Kusaka Shohei talking about?"

after a while.

Everyone gathered around the tall rectangular dining table.

Kusaka Shohei stood in front of the mahogany seat that symbolized the main seat. There were four bottles of wine wrapped in white cloth in the dining car not far to the right.

The rest of the people were scattered on the seats on both sides of the dining table.

"Everyone."

Kusaka Shohei held the table with both hands, looked at everyone in an easy-going manner, and announced generously:

"You can taste it to your heart's content."

"I'm gonna start now!"

Mouri Kogoro was the first to hold the wine glass on the dining table, place it not far from his chest, shake it once, eagerly put it to his mouth and then suddenly froze.

He stared blankly at Takeo Nonaka, Yukari Takano and Jokichi Tomura who were sitting across the dining table, holding the bottom of the wine glass with their left hand and shaking it gently, and tried his best to regain his consciousness.

Mouri Kogoro moved the wine glass that was close to his lips to the right, placed his left fist on his mouth, coughed slightly to relieve the embarrassment, and shook the wine glass in an elegant manner not far in front of the collar.

Sitting on the right side of Kogoro, with juice on the table in front of her, Xiaolan witnessed Kogoro's demeanor and behavior in a short period of time. She supported her legs straight with her hands and lowered her head slightly in shame.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, who also had a glass of juice, sat side by side on Xiaolan's right, staring at Mouri Kogoro with expressionless faces, and secretly complained in their hearts:

"The Maori Detective's careless personality is totally unsuitable for an elegant wine tasting party!"

at the same time.

Sotomura Jokichi sat across the dining table directly in front of Dongfang Haoyue, holding a stack of white napkins in his left hand. He held the bottom of the wine glass with his right hand and pressed the side against the napkin, concentrating on the quality of the wine.

He put down the napkin, shook the wine glass a little quickly, put it under his nose, and sniffed gently intoxicatedly.

"Crack."

Xiaolan looked at Sotomura Jokichi curiously, absent-mindedly picked up the dessert on the table and put it into her mouth, then broke the dessert with a little force.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudou Shinichi happily fed each other and glanced at everyone's movements from time to time. They were very leisurely.
