I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

As mentioned before, the bomb on the loop line was set to explode after dusk, although the bomb crisis was resolved.

But now it is dusk, the sun is setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun is pouring down on the earth, giving everything a golden glow.

The clouds in the sky were dyed an attractive orange-red, forming a beautiful sunset.

Having said so much, in fact, the girl’s one sentence has revealed the significance of this time.

"Rin, I'm hungry, meow~"

"Me too." Hua Yang immediately echoed.

The girls looked at each other, the enthusiasm of getting to know each other overshadowed the complaints in their stomachs. Only then did they remember their empty stomachs.

Food is the most important thing for people. Yes, it’s time for dinner.

"Then, let's go eat together!" Sonoko suggested cheerfully, "I'll treat you."

"No, how can we trouble you? There are many of us. Let me treat you." Another young lady, Maki, said quickly.

The other six girls, who had been designated as freeloaders by the two young ladies, looked at each other in bewilderment: "Is there a possibility that we can go Dutch?"

Looking at the two young ladies competing to treat each other, one can’t help but sigh at the great power of money.

Xiao Niao looked at the chaotic situation and prepared to run away - it was because she, as a 'man', had been criticized for a long time for shopping with so many beautiful girls in the mall.

If they had a meal together again, she couldn't believe what a different scene it would be.

For the sake of Kudo Shinichi's image, she decided to run away - not because she couldn't continue acting.

"Master of Disguise, start!" I'm sorry, I really can't go on acting anymore.

After they finish their meal, I will go to the movies with Lan. Conan, you have to understand me.

"Warning! Warning! Disguise Master failed to activate because you are too close to intelligent creatures. Please stay at least one meter away from intelligent creatures before activating Disguise Master again." The system's alarm sounded again.

Minami Kotori felt the heavy force on her shoulders and her eyes widened.

Who is it, a weirdo from Golugom?! How can there be such an oppressive feeling! It's like a huge mountain.

Ms. Oyama squeezed Kudo Shinichi's shoulder and said, "Hey, Shinichi, where are you going?"

"Ahahahaha, I-I'm not actually hungry."

"I'm so pissed. I was still arguing with Maki-chan about who should pay, and you actually tried to sneak away!!"

What? So Ms. Oyama is Sonoko. That’s fine.

"You'll have to treat me!"

"Hey hey hey hey!!!" She didn't even plan to go to dinner, why did she treat me...

Is this right, sisters?

The girls from MS quickly stepped forward to refuse: "No, don't bother Mr. Kudo, we can actually split the bill."

"No, this guy wants to run away. This is a punishment! Punishment!" Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and pinched the air money with his hands. "Anyway, you have handled so many cases, the commission..."

Hey, hey! You are a rich lady, why are you so obsessed with money? Why do you always want to take advantage of Kudo Shinichi?

The atmosphere had reached this point, and for the sake of Kudo Shinichi's image, she had no choice but to agree.

"Conan, more money, more money..." The bird complained in his heart, a new evil spirit was about to be born!

"Why, great detective, do you have any objection to dining with us pretty girls?"

Looking at Kudo Shinichi's bitter expression, Sonoko curled her lips.

"No, how could that be, I just..."

"Oh, are you really shy? Yo yo, Kawaii."

"Yuanzi, stop bullying him." Lan couldn't stand it anymore. These two little childhood sweethearts of hers really didn't get along.

"Oh, you're already protecting your boyfriend. Yes, yes, it's my fault. We are the only ones who are behind you two."

"What are we going to eat?" The bird compromised helplessly. It seemed that this was the only thing he could do.

"You treat, you make the decision." Yuanzi talked about treating every other sentence.

"Okay....if there are so many people, let's go eat barbecue!"

"Barbecue!" Hua Yang's eyes were already shining.

"Barbecue!" Honoka could already smell the aroma of meat.

"Ahem, okay, alright." Umi then grabbed the ears of the two people and whispered softly: "Don't eat too much, otherwise..."

. . .

"Self-service BBQ?" Umi had a bad feeling.

"This restaurant is pretty good." Nan Xiaoniao said, "I've been here before."

"Ah! You didn't even call me and Xiaolan." Sonoko looked like her friendship was betrayed.

Hey, at that time I was still 'Minami Kotori', and I came to eat alone, no, with a god.

At that time, the two of them took turns, and the store manager was taught a heavy lesson when he saw the gentle and elegant, soft girl who couldn't be eaten at first glance ate a plate higher than a mountain.

The name is [Don't judge a book by its cover]. Even if it is a bird, it doesn't necessarily have bird stomach.

Recalling the painful expression on the store manager's face at that time, Xiao Niao laughed out loud: "Well, I also have my own brothers and friends."

"Oh~" Yuanzi didn't know whether it was okay or not.

"Great! Eat to your heart's content!" Honoka jumped three feet high.

"Yes! Honoka-senpai!" Hanayo couldn't agree more.

"Well, it's okay to eat it once in a while." Minami Kotori looked at the two people who were like children with a smile on her face.

"You boys may not have such worries, but..." Umi felt a little embarrassed, especially since they were still idols.

Uh, okay, okay, we boys are just rough.

Minami Kotori closed her mouth. With Kudo Shinichi's leather jacket on, it was really hard for her to refute.

"Go and pay, Mr. Detective." The garden monster poked the bird's shoulder with a smile.

Kotori was speechless. How could a lady from a consortium like Suzuki Sonoko always want to take advantage of Kudo Shinichi? She was simply his mortal enemy.

"Boss, do you have a bigger table for nine adults?" He walked into the store first, and looking at the already crowded shop, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Nine, nine?!" Seeing the eight beautiful girls of all kinds and shapes coming in groups behind him, the store manager was shocked again and gave the young man a respectful look.

As a store manager who has seen a lot of ups and downs, he is used to it, no, he hasn't been so shocked for a long time.

The last time was when that little blonde girl ate a plate that was taller than a mountain and caused him to lose a lot of money. This was a "judging people by their appearance" incident.

If he knew that the guy who shocked him twice in a row was actually the same person, his expression would surely be even more interesting.

"Yes, nine digits, swipe the card..." He confirmed helplessly and took out the black card.

"Nice! The show-off guy is bleeding heavily." Sonoko looked like everything he had planned was going smoothly, and she was so happy.

"No, our money is still..." Umi still felt it was inappropriate. After all, it was the first time they met, and inviting so many people was a bit much.

The decoration style of this store is also very nice. The price per person is 8000 yen. After this meal, Brother Kudo spent more than yen. It's really embarrassing.

"It's okay, just consider it as a gift for our first meeting. After all, I'm a man now." Nan Xiaoniao is quite free and easy, and spending money is nothing at all - after all, it's not her money that is being spent.

The main reason is that eating with them is very stressful, and the difficulty of playing the role of 'Kudo Shinichi' increases exponentially.

That guy Conan made me suffer so much, I must spend a lot of money on him.

"Well, I thank you on their behalf." Umi said. Really, it's okay that the first-year juniors are so thoughtless, but Honoka also joined in the fun. At least she should thank them properly.

At this time, she missed Xiaoniao, who was as steady and mature as herself...ahem.

"Then I'll book a private room on the second floor for you. By the way, do you need a waiter to help you with the barbecue?"

"No need, try not to disturb us, and leave the barbecue to him alone." Sonoko waved her hand. It was always inconvenient to have outsiders coming in and out of a gathering of girls.

Then he met Xiaoniao's hopeless eyes: "Okay, I'm just kidding, I will help you, at least, Xiaolan will, right?"

"Really, Sonoko." Ran smiled, leaned close to Shinichi's ear, and whispered, "Shinichi, I will help you when the time comes."

Mitsuha looked at Kudo Shinichi who was playing and laughing with the two girls, and for a moment, she felt extremely complicated.

Obviously, she was the one who came first.
