I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

There are a total of 50 places in the game called "Cocoon", and without exception, all of them are children of the powerful.

Moreover, most of them were only at the elementary school level. Although Sonoko and Maki were among them, they were also among the few "adults".

"Take this opportunity to build good relationships with the sons of bureaucrats." This was the task her father left for her. Maki was a smart person and it was not difficult for her to understand her father's intentions.

If a hospital wants to continue operating and where to open it, it needs policy protection and investment from wealthy tycoons.

However, Maki still had a headache now: "After all, how can I build a good relationship with a child like this?"

Looking around, she, with a height of 1.6 meters, already stands out from the crowd.

Besides, she was not the type who was good at socializing. Now she had to admit that she was just like what Nicole said - she was born with thorns, unless someone wanted to get close to her even if they were hurt...

She subconsciously looked towards the bird, which was feeding the little mascot of Muse sweetly.

I'm so envious.

"I'd better rely on myself." She adjusted her dress and moved towards the group of children.

. . .

"Hello, children. I am Nishikino Maki."

"Oh, Nishikino, is that the famous private hospital? My dad was once hospitalized there."

"It's... an honor." Maki forced a smile. As mentioned before, she was not good at chatting.

And with such an elementary school student.

"The son of the director of the B Foundation, the son of the director of the Metropolitan Police Department, the grandson of the mayor of Beihua City..." Maori Kogoro took a sip of the free brand-name red wine and looked at the arrogant kids with game medals over there. He sighed softly, as if he was savoring the red wine and secretly thinking, "It seems that the second and third generations who will carry the future of Japan are all here."

"This is simply a microcosm of Japan's dark hereditary system." Huiyuan Ai said coldly, "Wrong history will be repeated by the wrong people. Japan will never have a real future."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Eri also looked over at this precocious child. The child's thoughts coincided with hers, but, was this something a first-grade student could say?

"Hey, you should be more like a child." Conan couldn't help but remind him. Don't get me wrong, he didn't care about Haibara at all, he just didn't want to be implicated.

"Oh, there were a lot of stories like this on the TV news this morning."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as he was still a child after all.

Only Conan felt a chill in his heart as he watched Haibara Ai's malicious and cute performance.

"What?" Huiyuan said lightly.

"No, not much." Conan shrugged. He couldn't afford to offend this woman.

. . .

"Nishikino Maki? She's just a campus idol. Idols come and go as you please." The young man in red boasted in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Maki to hear it all.

"You..." Maki had never been treated like this before, and she met the boy's undisguised gaze - that kind of naked teasing and malice.

She even doubted whether this was a teenage boy or a dirty and greasy old man.

She wanted to teach the red-dressed boy a lesson, but was stopped by his words: "If you don't want to go to jail, I advise you to be honest. After all, your father is still the director of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Prison? Maki was shocked. She recalled that her idol, Little Bird, had almost been put in jail. She froze in her place for a moment.

"My name is Hideki Moroboshi. Thank you for your guidance, Miss Idol." The young man in red bowed slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Seiichiro Kikukawa, my father is a Kyogen performer, so I can understand your job of performing for others." Perhaps it is because of his father's job that the young man in blue is relatively polite.

"Jiang Shouhuang, my father is a banker." The chubby child smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Maki forced a smile. Her father really had given her a difficult task. These kids were smarter than each other - why not go find some other kids?

It’s better to find some girls. I feel like these boys are too arrogant.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over the arrogant trio.

"Hey, kid." The clear and sweet voice carried a natural sense of oppression.

The three of them were startled and turned around, only to see a beautiful sister wearing idol clothes.

"Hey, here comes another one, Ximino, is this your companion?"

"Didn't your parents teach you manners?" The person who came was Xiaoniao. She was not far away just now. Others might not have heard it, but Xiaoniao heard it all.

"Little Bird, don't..." Maki quickly shook her head and stepped forward to stop Little Bird.

You can’t afford to offend these three little ancestors!

She still knew the situation of Kotori's family: her father disappeared in his early years, and she only relied on her strong woman mother to make a living. The position of chairman of Otonogizaka was also won step by step by her mother through her own strength.

Nothing like these little brats who were born in Rome.

"Heh, a person's status is determined when he is born. Politeness? For those of you whose job is to please others?" Moroboshi Hideki sneered.

"What?! What do you think of idols?" Xiaoniao was really angry.

Making people smile is as great as protecting their smiles!

Besides, it’s about relying on one’s father, right? Her father is not bad either—he is a Kamen Rider after all.

It’s a pity that no one is here - the bird suddenly felt a little lost.

Hearing the noise, Yuanzi also came over and said, "You kids, watch your mouths."

"Hey, isn't this the daughter of the Suzuki Group?"

"I thought these common people shouldn't be on the invitation list, but now it seems that these people are all distinguished guests of the Suzuki Group?"

Yuanzi sighed. She also hated those guys who took advantage of their power to bully others: "Uncle Maori, you should teach them a lesson too!"

Being named by the sponsor, Maori Kogoro coughed and sobered up slightly: "Listen carefully, life is not that simple, it is full of traps. You will understand this when you grow up."

"Oh, is this the Sleeping Kogoro? Ah, I know where you got this name, it's because your wife ran away while you were sleeping." Moroboshi Hideki said sarcastically with a smile.

Uncle Maori's face turned red. He didn't expect that he would be speechless by the child.

"You're talking nonsense!" Lan stepped forward, "Mom passed away when Dad was in the bathroom."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this, including Hideki Moroboshi who was a hermaphrodite.

Thanks to Tuolan, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the arrogant trio walked away in a haughty manner.

"Idols are nothing more than actors who attract people's attention. People of our class can come and go at will." The three of them walked away in a swagger, leaving behind these words.

Xiaoniao clenched his fists. How could these kids be so mean?

Idols - at least, muses are definitely not as cheap as they say.

Muse is a collective where everyone works together towards their dreams. How can it be spoken of in such a bad way?

Ignoring the dissuasion of Zhenji and others, she chased after them and gave each of them a loud slap in the face.

. . .

"I'm sorry." It was the bird that apologized.

The parents of the trio rushed over after hearing the news, although the guests present also testified that it was the children who spoke rudely first.

But when faced with facts, the powerful are best at ignoring the facts and blindly protecting their own people.

"It's wrong to hit someone. If it weren't for the fact that you're still a minor..."

"Sorry!" Xiaoniao spoke each word with certainty, and it was obvious that he had been suppressed to the extreme.

"Oh, a girl, an idol at that, actually hits someone." The three parents knew they were in the wrong and there was nothing to say, so they left with their rebellious son.

Perhaps, if it weren't for Sonoko and Uncle Maori's support, they would have gone even further.

"Sister Kotori, I'm sorry, it's all because of me." Maki's eyes were red. It was clearly her fault, but Kotori was wronged.

"Don't say sorry. I'm already feeling aggrieved enough after I said it." Xiao Niao sighed and patted Maki's head.

She looked at the backs of those people - winding and twisting in the magnificent hall like a quagmire.

She was extremely disappointed. These were the people who controlled this country. The source of the children's ignorance was caused by the arrogant and domineering parents.

"Is this the person I want to protect at the risk of my life?" she asked herself, and the answer was heartbreaking.

"I'm going to the bathroom." She smiled politely at everyone and left, turning her back to the light.

She went to the bathroom alone, looking at her disheveled self in the mirror. Thinking back, even when she had faced Gorugom alone before, she had never felt so powerless.

Is that the power of power and wealth? Even she can't resist.

Bai Li walked in. She had just witnessed the whole process but never said a word.

Because she has seen a lot, it was like this in her previous life and it is even worse in this life, the darkness of power has always been a vortex that mankind cannot escape.

She gently squeezed Xiaoniao's hand and said, "There will always be people like this, blinded by power. They lose their kindness and integrity."

"But the good people are the majority."

"Well, I know. What's the difference between such a high-level person and Golugom?"

Bai Li was speechless: "We can only do our part, as for changing this society..."

Noah's Ark, can you do it? Just like in the movie.

She hoped to change the bad nature of human beings - this was something they could not do, whether they were Rx's bird or herself as a god.
