Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

Chapter 151 Huffing and puffing as he climbed the stool

"If I don't take more now, I'm afraid I won't be able to take any later."

"Why is that?" Bu Yue blinked her puzzled eyes and looked at Yu Bai.

Of course, it's because of a certain elementary school student who died.

In fact, Sonoko Suzuki invited him to this exhibition by phone. When Yu Bai first heard that there was a dessert exhibition, he was completely attracted by all kinds of desserts and completely forgot that Sonoko Suzuki was Ran Mouri's best friend.

If that's the case, how could Ran Mouri be absent when Sonoko Suzuki invites him out?

And Ran Mouri must have been accompanied by some dead elementary school student. Why didn't he think of that at the time?

"Let's take a little more anyway."

Yu Bai sighed, silently praying that Conan's theorem wouldn't be so accurate this time.

He certainly didn't want to encounter a murder in such a happy place.

"it is good."

Although she was somewhat puzzled by her friend's behavior, Bu Yue believed that whatever Yu Bai did was right. Therefore, Bu Yue didn't say anything extra, but simply took another plate and helped Yu Bai accept the dessert that he was interested in.

Just as Yu Bai and Bu Yue were happily eating various delicious desserts, or rather, Yu Bai was eating most of them while Bu Yue watched Yu Bai eat and was occasionally fed a piece by Yu Bai.

Meanwhile, Ran and the others are watching Yasuo Fujino, known as the "Cake Prince," create a chocolate cake roll that looks like it's made of wood. Conan is even invited to try making it himself.

Amidst the background music of "I want it! Pick me~ Pick me~" playing in the background, and with the "Cake Prince" named Fujino Yasuo promising that he could take the chocolate cake roll home after he finished making it, Conan was half-pushed and half-forced to stand on a small stool and start trying to make his cake roll.

Actually, Fujino Yasuo had already prepared the cake base and everything else. All that was left were some decorating and shaping steps.

Under the guidance of Yasuo Fujino, the following steps were quite simple.

Unfortunately, while Conan Edogawa is usually quite intelligent, and his abilities in deduction and solving cases are undoubtedly impressive, he's completely hopeless when it comes to making desserts.

"Ah~"

Conan Edogawa gasped in surprise as he looked at the chocolate cake roll he had ruined.

"Hehe, it's okay. These days, guys who can bake cakes are especially popular with girls~" Fujino Yasuo bent down to comfort Conan while winking at him.

"Conan actually did a great job, right, Sonoko?" Seeing Conan still looking disappointed at the cake roll in front of him, Ran quickly comforted him while also pulling Sonoko into the conversation.

Sonoko still remembered how she had eagerly raised her hand to participate in the production, only to be ignored by Yasuo Fujino.

"╭(╯^╰)╮ Hmph, so-so."

"Wait a minute, let me fix it up for you, and then I'll give it to you."

Fujino Yasuo said to Conan, then turned to Sonoko and Ran and asked, "Will you two come again this afternoon?"

"They'll come! They'll come! Of course they'll come, right, Ran?"

When the handsome pastry chef asked her a question, Sonoko immediately forgot about his previous ignoring of her and quickly responded.

"Ah...yes, I'll be there." Xiaolan felt a little helpless about her best friend's actions, but fortunately they had originally planned to stay at the venue until the afternoon and participate in the afternoon activities.

Afterwards, Ran and Sonoko took Conan away from Fujino Yasuo's workbench and went to visit Ms. Morimoto Tomomi, who is known as the "magician of sweets".

When they saw the various exquisite candies that looked like glass products, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Thank you, this transparency is the key to the flavor. Please try this little bunny."

Ms. Morimoto Tomomi smiled happily when she heard Conan Edogawa praise her desserts as being as exquisite as glassware.

She handed Conan the transparent rabbit-shaped candies she had just made, saying, "Candy tastes best when it's fresh. I also hope to win a candy competition prize someday."

……

"Ah, found you, found you, Xiao Yubai, we've finally found the two of you."

When Yu Bai and Bu Yue had almost finished eating, they heard Suzuki Sonoko's voice.

Setting down the drink he was using to cut through the richness, Yu Bai turned around and saw Suzuki Sonoko, who was carrying a large plate of desserts just like he had before, and Xiao Lan standing next to her with a helpless expression.

Seeing that Yu Bai had noticed her, Suzuki Sonoko didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Ran to sit opposite them.

"Huh? Where's Conan? I don't see him." Yu Bai looked around and found that the fake elementary school student who should have been with Ran Mouri was nowhere to be seen.

"He said he was going to get his favorite dessert himself, but I don't know where he went."

Ran Mouri said with some concern, "The venue is still quite crowded. I'm worried that Conan might encounter some danger where they can't see him."

Before the words were finished, a familiar yet childish voice rang in my ears: "I'm here, Brother Yu Bai, Sister Xiao Lan."

Conan Edogawa had appeared beside them at some point, holding a small white plate with a delicate and exquisite little pastry lying on it.

It's clear this person really doesn't like desserts. In such a large venue, they only took a small piece.

Conan placed the plate on the table and then climbed onto a chair. This was because Yu Bai and Bu Yue had chosen high stools and tables at the edge of the venue instead of the flat table and chairs in the middle.

This resulted in the stool and table being too tall for Conan Edogawa's current height, making it impossible for him to sit on the stool immediately.

Yu Bai watched with a playful smile as someone struggled to climb onto the stool and let out a long sigh of relief, before their eyes met as Edogawa looked up.

When Conan finally looked up and met Yu Bai's smiling eyes, his face instantly froze. Recalling his slightly clumsy attempt to climb the stool, a thought flashed through Conan's mind: He absolutely couldn't let Yu Bai discover that he was Shinichi Kudo; that would be a complete black mark on his past!

……

Conan Edogawa: (huffing and puffing as he climbs the stool) This damn elementary school student's height.

Yu Bai: Laughing at this, it's a pity I can't record it on my phone in front of everyone. I've lost material that could kill the childhood friends club later.
