Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

"Well, I did hear from Daju that Kishida Yuko has some feelings for you. But didn't I already give you a hint?

"I'm not really asking you to be a gigolo, I'm just reminding you to think in that direction.

"The reason why I didn't tell you this explicitly is, of course, because I already knew that this little fight is nothing to you!

"Besides, the emotions you express on the spot are always more real, and it's not easy to find flaws.

"Then, whether Nisake doesn't want his daughter to get close to you out of conscience, or he has no conscience at all and wants to use his daughter to get close to you, the end result will be the same, which is a conflict with you.

"After a conflict occurs, we can ask Hagiwara to come over and help create a step to ease the conflict. This will allow Hagiwara to take the opportunity to get closer to sake. At the same time, it will also give sake an excuse to get closer to Hagiwara."

Sitting opposite Kyoko, Morobushi Kagemitsu took a deep breath and said, "Differences create contradictions, contradictions lead to conflicts, and conflicts give rise to opportunities.

"That's true in theory."

"That's right! It's really because the efficiency of those two people hooking up with each other is too low, I just helped.

"Ah, I have to make it clear first. The conflict between the three people in the Kishida family has nothing to do with me. It was not my plan, and I never intervened. They were just messing around from beginning to end.

"I just helped Hagiwara seize the perfect opportunity.

“I’m actually quite surprised that things have turned out this way.

"To put it bluntly, I'm just a spectator, not a conspirator."

Even though you said that...

Zhu Fujingguang sat on the sofa in the reception room on the second floor of the cat cafe, looking at Doudingquan who was sitting in front of the desk, digging into a cake, staring at the computer, looking at something, and chatting with him absent-mindedly. He couldn't get rid of the strong sense of disharmony in his heart.

Speaking of which, Yuko Kishida is really unlucky. She chose Kyoko, the tough guy, as her breakthrough point.

But it’s not her fault.

This little thing that looks soft and cute but is actually black-hearted is really too deceptive.

Even the five people who graduated from the police academy had been deceived before, hadn't they?

Until now, at this moment, the four people are still kept in the dark.

Well, actually...

I guess even if he hadn't made an agreement with Sakurai, he wouldn't have easily told the truth to those people.

No wonder Sakurai has been reluctant to say anything. It's just that the feeling of standing in the atmosphere and looking down is too interesting.

Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled and turned his thoughts back to the original topic.

"Aren't you afraid that Japanese sake will also think the timing is perfect?"

“No. Because he’s in a hurry.

"This guy was originally testing the waters at a leisurely pace, why did he suddenly speed up? If I'm not mistaken, it must be because that gentleman gave him some urgent task.

"So, I just helped him out. The sake guy should thank me."

"…Is this why you took the initiative to put yourself in front of him?"

"Hey!"

"What information do you want that gentleman to know through Kyoko?"

"Hey hey hey!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed.

"...Okay, I won't ask anymore."

"Hmmmm~"

Seeing that after this guy finished eating the cake, he put the spoon in his mouth and started playing with it, Zhu Fu Jingguang stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the spoon.

"It's almost dinner time, do you want anything to eat?"

Kyoko's eyes suddenly lit up: "Eel rice!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang took the opportunity to take back the spoon, picked up the cake tray and turned to leave.

"You've eaten so much cake and eel rice? Don't you feel sick of it? Just have some vegetable salad."

"Hey! That's too much!"

------

On the other side, Kenji Hagiwara's acquaintance who runs a Chinese restaurant arranged a private room for the four people.

After three rounds of drinks, the originally somewhat stiff atmosphere at the table gradually became relaxed and warm.

In addition to Fumino Kishida, the other two people in the Kishida family no longer called him "Officer Hagiwara" and automatically changed to a more intimate name.

In order to distinguish the Kishida family, Kenji Hagiwara directly changed Kishida Yuko's address from "Ms. Kishida" to "Yuko's sister".

They had only just met for a short time and were not very familiar with each other, so this was actually a bit rude.

However, the three people in the Kishida family each had their own ulterior motives, and no one protested.

Then Yuko Kishida tentatively called Kenji Hagiwara "Brother Hagiwara".

Kishida Fumino just frowned symbolically, and after drinking a glass of wine, he threw this trivial matter aside and ignored it.

"Oh, I see. Sister Yuko likes Mr. Midorikawa?"

Kenji Hagiwara had a look on his face as if he had just eaten a big piece of melon, and looked at the female high school student sitting opposite him in surprise.

Yuko Kishida's face turned a little red, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

Kishida Honami said, "I can't say I like him, I just have a little affection for him. People at this age always have some unrealistic ideas and feelings about the opposite sex.

"Hagiwara-san, you are still young, so you should understand."

Kishida Honami gently covered her mouth and smiled: "Besides, with your appearance, you must have had many similar troubles, right?"

"Haha. Mrs. Kishida, please stop making fun of me."

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "No matter what happened in the past, I already have a girlfriend now. I am very loyal!"

But if the gap between men and women is too big, problems can easily arise.

Mr. Hagiwara, you yourself have admitted that Sakurai Izumi is much better than you. How can you guarantee that you two can always live in harmony?

As long as Yuko and Hagiwara Kenji maintain a good relationship, even if they just call each other brother and sister now, if there is an opportunity in the future, they will be the first choice!

In order to ensure this possibility in the future, I must urge my husband to build a good relationship with Officer Hagiwara!

Kishida Honami thought this in her heart and sighed.

"Well, because her father scolded her, Yuko has been in a bad mood since she got home. So I talked to her for a while in the evening.

“I told her that she is still young and there are endless possibilities in the future, so she should not limit her vision to the present.

"But if she really likes it, my father and I will not force her to change her mind, but she must observe carefully and not rush to judge."

Kishida Honami looked at Hagiwara Kenji who was listening to her attentively, and silently swallowed the part about him.

"But, even though I said that, as a mother, I still feel uneasy, so I decided to go to the cat cafe today to test Mr. Midorikawa's attitude.

"I visited with gifts, using the excuse of wanting to apologize for what happened yesterday.

"Mr. Midorikawa originally didn't intend to accept the gift, but after hearing me mention Yuko's name, he changed his mind and accepted the gift.

"I thought that Mr. Midorikawa had some feelings for Yuko and was very happy for her. But I didn't expect that Yuko happened to go there with her classmates today and she immediately let the secret of the gift slip.

"Mr. Midorikawa must have misunderstood something. Not only did he return the gift, he may have even said something harsh..."

"He didn't!"

Yuko Kishida suddenly looked up and interrupted Honami Kishida: "He just asked me to tell you that you don't need to take the little thing yesterday to heart. If you really want to apologize, then the person you should apologize to should be the customer who was affected in the store at that time, not him.

"Mom, why are you apologizing in my name? I didn't do anything wrong!"

Fumino Kishida finally figured out the whole story.

It turned out that he was just overthinking.

Scotland did not have any improper thoughts about his daughter, nor did he have an affair with his wife. His sarcastic attitude was probably influenced by what happened between Honami and Yuko.

He was a little skeptical at first, wondering if the other party had realized his identity.

Now it seems that he was just overthinking.

But Yuko's attitude...

Could it be that he hasn't given up on Scotland yet?

Kishida Fumino was just trying to suppress his daughter's arrogant attitude when he suddenly heard Hagiwara Kenji speak.

"Midorikawa Hikaru... I don't think that might work."
