Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

In any case, the cake sent by Morobushi Keimitsu finally shut up Kudo Shinichi.

The little guy didn't say anything else. After eating the cake, he grabbed a cat passing by his feet and started petting it.

Koizumi looked at him and it seemed like he wanted to carry out the threat he had made to himself, saying that if he didn't come to the Christmas party, he and his friends would stroke the cats in your store until they were bald.

However, it seemed that the shop cat he caught did not feel uncomfortable and even cooperated with him in playing, so Koizumi stopped paying attention to it.

Xiaolan and Sonoko were also taken care of by the cats in the store.

Especially Sonoko, at Koizumi's request, was subjected to an especially intense furry attack, and she really seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Sakurai-san, has your work finally come to an end?"

"Well, not really, but I was planning on taking some rest these few days."

"Wow, that looks like a lot of hard work."

Sonoko sighed, and then curiously asked, "So what kind of commission is it?"

Although little Kudo didn't say anything, he looked over with concern, and it was obvious that he was also very curious about this question.

This is not something you can tell children.

So Koizumi said vaguely: "Well, it's just an adult's job. I don't think you would be interested in it, Sonoko."

Hearing what Koizumi said, Sonoko immediately thought of the various elite educations instilled in her by her parents. She sighed with a bitter face, "Ah, then I won't ask."

"Eh? So what is it?"

Seeing Sonoko's reaction, Kudo and Ran's curiosity was aroused.

Sonoko looked at Koizumi and saw that she didn't intend to say anything, so she took the initiative to explain for her: "What else could it be? You all know that Sakurai-san has a company. It's nothing more than company affairs."

The little girl pouted: "Business decisions, interpersonal relationships, profit distribution, the art of communication between superiors and subordinates, options and equity..."

As she spoke, she covered her head and began to recite her private lesson schedule: "To be honest, I really want to continue learning karate with Xiaolan, but my classes have been fully scheduled since the Chinese New Year this year."

Koizumi was really curious about what the private lessons of the second daughter of the Suzuki chaebol family included, so he asked, "What are the courses?"

Yuanzi counted them on his fingers one by one: "Mathematics, English, French, political economy, business management, drama and art cultivation, golf, pottery..."

Koizumi sighed.

If we add physics and advanced mathematics to these courses, wouldn’t it basically be Hongshu’s original curriculum?

She glanced at the expressions of the three people next to her.

Xiaolan probably had heard Sonoko's complaints, so her expression remained calm.

Little Kudo was stunned.

Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had not left and was standing nearby listening silently, had a somewhat vague look in his eyes.

Koizumi: ...

Zhu Fu, don’t even think about it!

What this person can think of is definitely not what he learned in his childhood, but the horrific experience of his parents being murdered!

So Koizumi quickly changed the subject: "I remember you have an older sister, does she also need to learn these?"

Sonoko thought for a moment and said, "Well, Sister Ayako's courses don't include political economy and business management, but she wants to learn painting, tea ceremony, flower arrangement and horse riding."

Koizumi remembered that in the original plot, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, Sonoko's sister, seemed to be named Suzuki Ayako. After she came of age, she married the son of another chaebol family.

Since the Suzuki family had no male heirs, the task of inheriting the family business fell on Sonoko.

During this period, Sonoko's parents probably had not given up the idea of ​​having more children to produce an heir, but they were obviously also preparing for Sonoko to inherit the family business.

This is really...

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Koizumi reached out and touched Sonoko's head: "...Thanks for your hard work."

Sonoko smiled energetically and said, "It's nothing. I'm used to it."

"You have a day off today, don't you have any classes?"

Yuanzi made a victory sign and said with a chuckle, "The teacher has something urgent to do today, so I'm going to take a day off! Oh, but I have to attend a banquet in the evening, so I can't go back too late."

Koizumi turned to look at Kudo Shinichi, and asked with a sly smile, "Sonoko has learned so many things, and Ran is also practicing karate, so what about you, Kudo?"

Kudo Shinichi who was shot innocently: ...

Because primary school homework was very easy for him, he didn't even study much. He just played football and read novels every day.

Suddenly I felt a huge sense of crisis.

So little Kudo shot back, "What about you, Sakurai-san? What did you do as a child?"

Xiaolan and Sonoko also looked at her with curiosity.

Koizumi grinned and said, "As for me, I haven't learned anything. The reason why I can achieve what I have today is, first, I am really smart, and second, I am very lucky!"

Kudo Shinichi:......

I was angry!

Xiaolan blinked her eyes: "But Sister Sakurai, your skills are amazing. This is not a level that can be achieved in a short time. You must have started training a long time ago, right?"

Sonoko also said confidently: "Sister Sakurai, you must be being modest, right? My parents and Uncle Jirokichi all speak highly of you. They say that your knowledge and observation skills are far beyond ordinary people, and your planning and execution abilities are also very strong. You must have received special training! Maybe it has something to do with the special skills you learned in the police academy."

Koizumi: ...

My God, everyone in the Detective world is a master of imagination. Are even ordinary people in the Suzuki family like this?

"Also, Uncle Jiroji said that so-called luck is based on absolute strength. If you are not fully prepared, even if luck comes, ordinary people will not be able to catch it.

"So, Sister Sakurai, you said you were very lucky, and that's because you are strong enough!

“My mom said that it’s really amazing that you can run a company of TSE’s size to this level at your age. What’s more, you also have a lot of cat cafes and you have to take care of your office work.

"Sakurai-san, you are really amazing!"

After hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan's eyes were full of stars and she nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that's what my mom said, and my dad also said that Sister Sakurai is not only capable, but also has courage far beyond that of ordinary people!"

Ah this...

Koizumi subconsciously glanced at Zhufu Jingguang again, and then found that the expression on this person's face was very solemn.

The brain supplement boss is showing off his power again...

Zhu Fu obviously thought of some bad things, such as that she was the subject of the organization's human experiments or something.

Maybe she also attributed her ability to the organization's strong training for her? Just like Xiaoshu and Kyoko...

Koizumi could only turn his head away, avoiding Zhu Fu Jingguang's sight, and look at the only normal person present.

As a child of Detective Conan's world, Kudo Shinichi wouldn't be overthinking, right?

Please give me a rebuttal and make an objective evaluation of me!

Seeing Koizumi looking at him with burning eyes, Kudo hesitated for a moment and said, "...Well, Sakurai-sister is amazing! Awesome!"

Koizumi: ...

Huh? What's going on? Kudo Shinichi actually praised me? This must be possessed by something dirty!

Little Kudo looked at Koizumi's face and added, "...My father also said that Sakurai-sister's reasoning ability is not inferior to his, so he asked me to learn from you."

Koizumi: ...Huh?!

His eyes widened in astonishment.

"Sister Sakurai, you..."

Kudo Shinichi kept saying "you" for a long time before finally breaking down and shouting, "Ahhh, why are you so fierce? There's no point in glaring at me. I really can't praise you anymore!"

ha?!!!

Koizumi had a blank expression and the scene was very awkward for a while.

Did I treat you badly? Did I do anything? Kudo Shinichi, what exactly does your reaction mean? Are you trying to provoke the world's will, making it think that I bullied you, so that you can take revenge on me?

Zhu Fu Jingguang suppressed his laughter and said to Koizumi, "Sakurai, your pick-up person is here."

Koizumi turned around and saw Kenji Hagiwara, who was in casual clothes, pushing the door open and waving at her with a smile.

"Come on, Sakurai, let's go to the amusement park today!"

Before Koizumi could react, the three little ones next to him were already going crazy.

"Amusement park! Is it the new one?"

"Sakurai-san, are you going out to play today?"

"Did you accept a commission to investigate the amusement park?"

The three children spoke in a chaotic manner, and finally shouted out their own thoughts at the same time.

"I'm so envious/I want to go too/I want to go too!"

Koizumi: ...

What amusement park? What's so good about that place?

Even if you really want to go, can't you keep a low profile, Hagiwara?

Now I'm in trouble!

Hagiwara Kenji looked at Koizumi's helpless expression, then looked at the three children and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, how about we go together? It happens to be more fun with more people."

Koizumi:?!

What? No!
