Chapter 1117: His Teacher Knows How to Act Cute
Suzuki Sonoko also became suspicious of Chi Feichei's intentions. Her eyes lit up as she leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hichiji, Brother Hichiji, could it be that you want to bring everyone here to cause trouble?"
Conan: "..."
Sonoko actually looked 'super excited', truly enjoying the spectacle!
"No matter how bad the relationship between the two families is, what should be competed for will be competed for, and what can be cooperated on can also be cooperated on," Chi Feichei mercilessly shattered Suzuki Sonoko's imagination. "Moreover, no matter what, I should come at least once and formally meet President Yashiro."
Suzuki Sonoko sat back down in disappointment, then nodded understandingly, "That's also true..."
"Why does Brother Hichiji have to come?" Mouri Ran asked doubtfully.
"It means Brother Hichiji can represent the Chi Family at the event," Suzuki Sonoko explained very directly. "Although everyone has always assumed Brother Hichiji is the Successor, he also needs to show others that he is no longer a Child and it's necessary for him to accept an Invitation on behalf of his Uncle and Aunt."
Chi Feichei defaulted to Suzuki Sonoko's Speculation.
Akiyoshi Minako wants to drag him down?
Sorry, although he is indeed causing trouble, he also has a Suitable Reason.
His participation in the Maiden Voyage seems unreasonable, but it is actually completely justifiable and necessary.
The others probably Understood, and even Akiyoshi Minako believed this Statement.
Due to her Superior being the Yashiro Family's Adopted Son-in-Law, she also knew some Default Assumptions, such as arranging for a certain Junior to be active in various Activities, which is a Signal of being the 'Successor'.
Although her Superior, following Japan's Tradition, first became an Adopted Son of the Yashiro Family, entered the Yashiro Family's household register, and then married Yashiro Takie to become an Adopted Son-in-Law, the one active in various occasions, representing or Following Command President Yashiro, was still Yashiro Takie. That was President Yashiro's Statement – the favored Successor was Yashiro Takie, not Eito Yashiro.
Thinking about it this way, it's also Normal for the Chi Family's Young Master to Come Over this time...
"Ah, Captain Kaitou Wataru is out!" Ayumi, who had Turned Head to Look Towards Entaro Yashiro's side, spoke out, watching the Captain in a white crew uniform Greet the Yashiro Father and Daughter, Exclaiming, "He's so handsome!"
Kusaka Hiroshige Looked over, his Expression becoming Weird again, like Mockery, and also like Joking, "He is Captain Kaitou Wataru. He was the First Mate of that Ship during the Accident fifteen years ago that was Just Now mentioned."
While A Group of People Looked Towards the Captain over There, a Male Server pushed a Dining Car forward, "Excuse me, we will now serve the Appetizer and corresponding Drinks. Children, you can tell me what Juice you would like to drink..."
Children cannot drink Alcohol, and Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran, two Minors, each had a Cup of Juice Soda.
Mori Kogoro prepared to give his Opening Remarks, "Since everyone's Cups are already filled..."
"Wait, Uncle, let me do it!" Suzuki Sonoko stood up with her Wine Glass, Smilingly, "Then, for this Joyful Cruise Trip, and also, to celebrate Ran winning the Kanto Karate Tournament this time..."
Mouri Ran Unexpectedly Suzuki Sonoko would mention this and Looked Towards Suzuki Sonoko in surprise.
"Cheers!" Suzuki Sonoko raised her Cup, Smilingly.
The others also Gave Face by raising their Cups. When Mouri Ran Turned Head to Look, Akiyoshi Minako also Smiled at Mouri Ran to show her Response, with some Meaning of encouragement.
"Thank you," Mouri Ran was a Little embarrassed and her Face was Red. She Lowered Head and whispered to Suzuki Sonoko who had sat down, "Sonoko, you really are something."
"Ran, you're amazing," Ayumi Smiled Sincerely, "You actually won the Grand Competition in the Karate Tournament."
"And it was the Kanto Tournament!" Mitsuhiko added.
Genta also Sighed, "You're really amazing!"
"By the Way, Ran," Suzuki Sonoko started to Gossip, "Did Shinichi give you any Gift?"
"Shinichi..." Mouri Ran was about to Say that she had Called and Said it, but then Realized that Kudo Shinichi had told her not to mention their Contact to avoid Sonoko Gossiping endlessly and coming up with Bad Ideas, so she didn't Say it, "No, that Mystery Freak must be busy Investigating some Case."
This was also the Truth.
Last Night, it was just her, her Old Dad, Conan, and Brother Hichiji who went to a Japanese Restaurant to celebrate a Bit. After returning Home, she Called that Mystery Freak, and he just Said 'That's great', there was no Gift at all.
Conan didn't Speak Out. He had already Said many 'Congratulations' in his Conan Identity. Receiving a Phone Call in Kudo Shinichi's Identity, his Reaction would definitely not be very surprised.
Looking at it this way, Ran was also fooled by his Words last night and didn't mention Kudo Shinichi's Matter in front of everyone. This way, he wouldn't have to Worry about a certain Dangerous Woman from the Organization hearing some News from Chi Feichei.
However, this is also tiring. He has to Think of another Excuse next time. Or maybe he should just Say, 'Don't Say it to Stimulate Chi Feichei, this Single Person'?
This is Possible.
Chi Feichei Lowered Head to Look at his Wine Glass, pretending not to pay attention to Kudo Shinichi's Matter.
Seemingly Because of Belmode's Connection with him, the Famous Detective deliberately didn't let him hear some News.
This is also Good, it saves him the trouble of Considering whether to investigate Kudo Shinichi or Conan.
...
Dish after Dish was served, and Dinner lasted until past eight o'clock in the evening, nearing its End.
Mori Kogoro did not exercise Moderation in Drinking Alcohol. He drank Cup after Cup of various paired Drinks and quickly became Red in the Face.
Doctor Agasa noticed Kusaka Hiroshige Lowering Head and holding his forehead, and asked with Concern, "Mr. Kusaka, are you feeling unwell?"
Kusaka Hiroshige held his Head with his Hand, "I think I'm a Little seasick."
"Hahaha, I'm also dizzy," Mori Kogoro Smiled Drunkenly, "So dizzy I can't even see Human Faces clearly!"
"Dad drank too much Alcohol!" Mouri Ran reminded angrily.
Mori Kogoro immediately put on a Tsundere Face, "Hmph, you're so fierce to me!"
Conan: "..."
Uncle is really too much.
Chi Feichei: "..."
His Teacher actually knows how to Act Cute, looking even cuter than Conan. Amazing.
Akiyoshi Minako chuckled and Turned Head to say in a low voice to Mouri Ran, "Your Father is very Interesting."
Mouri Ran Smiled awkwardly, "He's just a Drunkard Old Dad!"
Chi Feichei put down his Cup, Looked at Mori Kogoro who was laughing foolishly with his Cup, and Said Speechless, "Big addiction, poor Alcohol Tolerance."
"Huh? Are you talking about me?" Mori Kogoro heard Chi Feichei's Words and waved his Hand exaggeratedly, "How is that Possible? My Alcohol Tolerance is very Good, Even If I have two more bottles, it doesn't Matter!"
"Sorry," Kusaka Hiroshige stood up with an apologetic Face, "I want to Return to Room to Rest first."
"Are you alright?" Doctor Agasa asked.
"It's nothing, I have Medicine in my Room. After taking it and sleeping, I should be fine."
After Saying that, Kusaka Hiroshige Nodded to the others and Turned Around to leave the table.
These people are really too much.
When asked about the continuous drama he created, that Little Girl started talking about the 'Maiden Voyage Sunken Ship', Scared him so much he almost thought his Matter of planting a Bomb on the Ship had been discovered.
He wanted to Mock those in high positions, and then the Young Master Said that the first to be rescued would definitely be the Kids, regardless of whether he was embarrassed or not. In his opinion, the Other Party was Just talking without experiencing the pain. As the Young Master of a Large Corporation, if something really happened, someone would arrange the first batch of Evacuation.
Also, the Suzuki Family's Miss seems to be a Little Mentally Deranged and acts as she pleases. The three Kids were chattering while eating, asking endless questions. Famous Detective Mouri is a Drunkard. When he drinks too much, he laughs at him and talks about everything from East to West, repeating the Same Case several times.
Hmph, only that Little Kid with Glasses and Mori Kogoro's Daughter are relatively easygoing and have no Sense of Presence. The others are simply impossible to Communicate with.
Since he has already figured out that Mori Kogoro is not here to investigate the Case, then he will excuse himself!
Conan watched Kusaka Hiroshige leave quickly, a trace of Doubt in his Eyes.
He saw that Mr. Kusaka walked away with Footsteps like the Wind, not like he was seasick. Moreover, Mr. Kusaka Said he was a Loyal Supporter of Uncle Mori, but during Dinner, he showed no Interest in Cases and his Interaction with Uncle Mori was very forced. Is he really an Admirer of Uncle?
Is Mr. Kusaka like this Because of his Personal Personality and doesn't like Contact with people? Did he Think too much?
...
The remaining people ate the last Dessert served. Mori Kogoro did not drink Tea or Coffee, but asked for another Cup of Sweet Wine. When they left the Dining Room, he was babbling completely illogical Words, Just Like he was Mentally Deranged.
Chi Feichei also drank Alcohol, but he didn't let himself get Drunk yet. He and Doctor Agasa helped Mori Kogoro back to his Room, left him with Conan to take Care of, and Just returned to his own Room when he discovered four Kids gathered in the Room. He Looked at them, didn't pay much attention, and took a Cup to get Water for Feichi.
Haibara Ai saw Chi Feichei return, Looked at the pile of Seashells on the Table, and took the initiative to explain, "They picked these up during the Island Activity during the Daytime. They want to make them into Shell Medals to give to Sister Ran."
Chi Feichei waited for Feichi to finish drinking Water, then Turned Around to Go To the Washroom to wash the Cup, "Refuel."
Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko: "..."
(_)
So Cold...
"Correct, then you guys Refuel," Haibara Ai felt sleepy, and her Face showed no Emotion. She Turned Around to go out, "I should also go back and take a Bath."
Mitsuhiko Unexpectedly even Haibara Ai didn't plan to make the Medals with them and was stunned for a moment, "You're going to take a Bath?"
"Huh?" Haibara Ai Turned Head and asked, "Do you want to take a Bath with me?"
"Ah?" Mitsuhiko's Face turned Red, and he stammered, "N-No..."
Haibara Ai felt her Morbid Taste was satisfied. Just as she reached the Entrance, she Turned Head and saw Chi Feichei Standing in the Washroom, Just Turning his Head to Look at her. She immediately felt a wave of guilt.
Playing tricks on Elementary School Students... Can Brother Hichiji pretend he didn't hear anything?
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight and helped Feichi put Bath Water in the sink, "You found a Good Weakness, a fatal blow."
Haibara Ai thought Chi Feichei would Admonish her, but Unexpectedly heard such a Sentence. She opened the Door helplessly and went out, "You win. Your Educational Philosophy for Children is really Weird."
That Night, the three Children stayed in the Room making Medals until Midnight.
Chi Feichei went to bed early and got up early. After Morning Exercise in the Activity Area, he went to the Deck and happened to meet the others for Breakfast.
"Brother Chi, Good Morning!"
"Brother Chi, Good Morning!"
"Brother Hichiji, Good Morning!"
Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and a Group of five Children Greeted him actively.
The Sunrise at Sea is early. The Blue Sea and Blue Sky, the Scorching Sun is bright. Since there are no Tall Buildings in the City to block the Sun, the Deck is as bright as Noon, reflecting Face after Face that are soft and Smilingly, making Chi Feichei Suddenly feel the Atmosphere of calling Friends and companions to go on Vacation at Sea together.
"Morning."
Chi Feichei responded with a Sentence, found an Empty Space and sat down, dispelling his Idea from Just Now.
It's all an Illusion. It's Still impossible to have a leisurely Vacation today.

Sonoko actually looked 'super excited', truly enjoying the spectacle!
"No matter how bad the relationship between the two families is, what should be competed for will be competed for, and what can be cooperated on can also be cooperated on," Chi Feichei mercilessly shattered Suzuki Sonoko's imagination.
