"I know~"
"Oh, right, young master Kaito!"
Terai Kinosuke suddenly remembered something, "Madam Chikage contacted me today and asked about your recent situation, young master. She said she'll be going back to Japan soon~"
"Huh? My mom's coming back?" Kaito Kuroba asked in surprise. "Isn't she having a great time in the Aegean Sea? Why did she suddenly decide to come back?"
"I can't possibly guess what the lady is thinking."
Terai Kinosuke looked helpless. Although his wife was not as domineering as the wife of the Suzuki Group, she was, after all, a phantom thief known as the "woman with twenty faces in the Showa era". How could he possibly guess her thoughts!
"Forget it, stop guessing~" Kaito Kuroba waved his hand. "We'll know when she gets back, why bother guessing here?"
"Master is right!"
"Mr. Terai, shall we head back to Tokyo now?"
"No, we're going to Nagoya, we don't have enough oil!"
"Oh~"
...
Let's return our attention to the Isabella.
The guests in the banquet hall were buzzing with discussion.
Of course, judging from their attitude, the appearance of Phantom Thief Kid did not cause any panic.
On the contrary, everyone seemed quite happy.
"Everyone!"
Tomoko Suzuki stood on the stage, gently clapped her hands, and announced with a charming smile on her pretty face:
"Just now, a foolish little thief gave us a performance to entertain us, and then flew off into the sea, probably swimming towards Tokyo now! So please enjoy your dinner!"
. ..... ....
"Ha ha!"
"Madam is right!"
Applause rang out in the banquet hall.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively, and everyone began to clink glasses again. As for the fact that the Phantom Thief Kid, disguised as Suzuki Shiro, had already escaped, and that the Suzuki family's 60th anniversary banquet was not attended by the head of the Suzuki family, almost no one cared.
Isn't Madam here?
With Madam here, there's no problem!
In a corner of the banquet hall, the girls were gathered around Ran, chattering excitedly about her chase after the Phantom Thief Kid.
"Ran, you didn't even invite me to this fun activity!" Kazuha held Ran's hand, her beautiful eyes slightly reproachful: "I should be able to help out!"
"Oh dear, only one pair of Shiho's glasses was made—" Ran said with a smile, lowering her voice:
"Besides, I alone drove Kid to jump into the sea. With Kazuha and you, he probably won't be able to escape. After all, Kuroba Kaito helped Shiho when she left the organization. We can't go too far. We have to give Shiho some face!"
"Xiaolan, you're right!"
Kazuha also remembered this, but—
She looked at Oshiho, whose face was pretty and aloof—
It's easy for log holders to get to know each other; half a day is enough. So she asked directly, "Shiho, wait a minute, that's someone who helped you before. Why did you concoct that kind of potion and make those glasses to trick him?"
"Because Tomoko and I are on the same side—" Shiho clearly understood the true nature of closeness and distance:
"Kaito Kuroba did help me, and I'm very grateful to him. But since Tomoko has spoken, I'll definitely help her first. As for Kaito Kuroba, let Natsume make it up to him, or I can help him if he needs anything in the future."
"Indeed, let the boys think about these things!"
Kazuha readily gave up thinking about it; after all, it wasn't her business.
“Speaking of boys—” Xiaolan gestured with a teasing smile toward the distance:
"Hattori over there has been looking this way since earlier, Kazuha. He's really concerned about you!"
"Concerned my foot!"
Kazuha rolled her eyes in exasperation and snorted, "He wasn't looking at me, he was clearly looking at Ran. He's definitely upset because you chased away Kaito Kid all by yourself, leaving all the other detectives with no opportunity to use their skills! Don't I know him?"
"really?"
Xiaolan had some doubts.
Is Hattori Heiji really that slow-witted?
"Otherwise what?" Kazuha sighed.
"I've been doing this all these years, haven't I?"
"So, have you made your choice yet?" A smile appeared in Xiaolan's beautiful, watery eyes.
"No!" Kazuha decisively held up an X! "I don't want to make a decision so easily!"
"It's okay, as long as you're happy~"
Ran exchanged a glance with Shiho and Sonoko beside her. This naive girl made seven or eight wishes in her diary every day and was still trying to stall for time—she would probably soon learn what it means to be beholden to someone who has taken a meal and then feel obligated to do so!
The gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with stakes.
She just didn't realize it!
Or perhaps she noticed but pretended not to, letting things take their course?
No matter which one it is.
In any case, there will only be one final outcome—
Join this big family!
This is the inevitable fate! (Ten thousand)
Chapter 316 Ooka Kanon: It's just a honey trap, anyone can do that!
Kazuha is so clever and quick-witted.
He naturally understood the meaning behind Xiaolan and the others' glances.
The log wish feature is indeed convenient!
But making wishes frequently can be addictive!
I've made dozens of wishes so far, and I just can't stop!
Moreover, the current wish-making tasks are no longer as simple as they used to be.
Some wishes are now subject to access restrictions.
Even my own level-one permissions aren't enough!
But is upgrading permissions such an easy thing?
Kazuha looked at Natsume, who was chatting with a dignified and elegant beauty in the distance, with a complicated expression.
If I just shamelessly kiss Xia Ye, I can immediately upgrade to level two privileges.
If you're even a little more shameless and take the initiative to do something with Xia Ye that only Xiao Lan and the others can do, you'll immediately reach Level 3 privileges!
Is that easy?
It's really easy!
Can it do it?
Of course we can't do it!
I can't do it myself right now!
Kazuha touched her little face.
It feels a little hot.
Damn it!
The fact that you can think of these things means that you are no longer pure.
My past self would never have agonized over such a shameless issue; I would have actually seriously considered whether or not to do it!
Kazuha watched Natsume's retreating figure and glared at him hatefully. This wicked thing, he's really done a lot of harm, what kind of lousy diary is this!
Wait, why is that guy looking back at me?
Does he have eyes in the back of his head?
He walked out this way!
...
Natsume was chatting with Akiba Reiko.
The two were talking about music.
Master-level pianos are naturally not just pianos.
Xia Ye is now a master in terms of musical knowledge.
That's why he was able to discuss the differences between classical and modern music with Akiba Reiko Nobuo, and talk about musicals, operas, and stage plays.
"I said, are you two bullying me because I can only sing pop songs—" Yoko Okino's bright, beautiful eyes were filled with resentment!
"Isn't it a bit much to talk about the relationship between the rise of classical music and the decline of the theocratic system when it's just a normal chat?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Yoko!"
Akiba Reiko suddenly realized that there was someone else beside her, and that this was no longer a private moment for her and Natsume.
She coughed lightly, her pretty face flushed, and said, "It's been so long since I've had such a heartfelt conversation about music with anyone. I'm a little excited, don't mind it~"
"I'm a little excited, hehehe!" Yoko Okino grinned mischievously, looking nothing like an innocent idol, but more like a rebellious little delinquent.
"Oops~"
"Why are you hitting me!"
"Don't flirt with Miss Qiuting!"
After tapping her head, Xia Ye casually pinched her fair and smooth cheek and gently scolded:
"Miss Akita isn't like Ran or Shiho, so don't say such explicit things!"
"Hmph!" Yoko Okino snorted, covering her forehead.
"How do you know she isn't? Maybe she will be soon, don't you think, Reiko?"
"Yoko, what did you say?"
Akiba Reiko's eyes were filled with confusion.
They seemed to completely misunderstand Yoko's meaning.
This made Yoko secretly chuckle to herself: I never expected that Reiko, who is just a singer, would have such good acting skills. It's a pity she doesn't go into acting!
Reiko Akiba remained outwardly calm.
Actually, I'm still quite shy inside.
She was originally a very magnanimous person, but when faced with this strange log and its even stranger companions, she couldn't maintain her composure at all. Simply keeping a straight face was already an extraordinary feat.
And this is still Yoko—
If Kiko were here.
Who knows what outrageous things they're going to say!
but--
I met Xia Ye this time.
My first impression of him was pretty good.
This guy appears so wicked and arrogant in his logs, so unrestrained, but in reality he's quite a gentleman.
