Chapter 785 Haibara Ai: The Style Shouldn't Be Like This
Momiji Ooka straightened up, her hands still placed formally in front of her, and said with a smile, "It's been about ten years since we last met, hasn't it? I didn't expect Ike to still recognize me. I wasn't sure it was you just now either. It was Muga who reminded me, and I noticed your eyes, so I dared to come over and say hello."
"Young Master Ike, hello, I am Muga Iori, the Butler of the Ooka family." Muga Iori, with his long curly hair, bowed again in greeting.
Chi Feichei nodded and looked towards Haibara Ai, "This is my Godmother's goddaughter, my Younger Sister Haibara Ai."
"Miss Ooka," Haibara Ai bowed in greeting, also adapting to local customs, "Mr. Iori, please take care of me."
"Miss Haibara, please take care of me too from now on."
Momiji Ooka and Muga Iori bowed back in return, making Chi Feichei feel mentally exhausted.
Before coming to Kyoto, he had prayed that he would absolutely not encounter these people, otherwise, even saying a sentence would require politeness and bowing back and forth, which could exhaust people to death.
Momiji Ooka straightened up and smiled at Haibara Ai again, "Ai is very cute, just like a Girl's Day Doll."
"Not at all, Miss Ooka, you flatter me." Haibara Ai responded calmly and politely.
*Uh-huh*, I can't embarrass Godmother and Brother Hichiji.
"By the way," Momiji Ooka looked at Chi Feichei, "Are you here in Kyoto for sightseeing this time?"
Chi Feichei nodded, "You're here to pick up Clothes?"
"Yes," Momiji Ooka looked at the Shop Assistant at the Entrance of the Shop, "I'm here to pick up the Kimono I pre-ordered for the New Year, and the Casual Clothes for attending the Karuta Competition. Do you need me to take you around Kyoto? I need to try them on, it should take about half an hour."
Chi Feichei didn't find any Reason, and directly refused, "No Need, you're busy."
"Then I won't disturb you." Momiji Ooka didn't force it, bowed again, and only straightened up with Muga Iori and walked into the Shop after Chi Feichei led Haibara Ai away for a distance.
Haibara Ai looked back at Momiji Ooka's unhurried pace and elegant, upright posture, and resisted the urge to take out her Detective Handbook Records, "She is from the Ooka family, who is known as the 'Western Suzuki', right? She is a very cute Girl."
"Don't Think so."
Chi Feichei looked calm, and spoke truthfully.
In the subsequent Plot, when Mori Kogoro and Mouri Ran and the others first met Momiji Ooka, they also Said that Momiji Ooka was very cute and such, but he couldn't find Momiji Ooka's Charm Point at all.
"I Think she's quite cute, elegant and graceful." Haibara Ai commented, and by the way, suspected that Chi Feichei had a Problem with Aesthetics.
"Getting Along with those kinds of people is very tiring." Chi Feichei Said.
Haibara Ai had to admit that getting Along with Momiji Ooka was a bit awkward, polite and courteous but distant, but her Godmother was different. Chi Kana would also adhere to some elegant but tiring Etiquette, but she herself had a Charm that could drown people in Gentleness, and there was no Arrogant air at all, making it very comfortable to get Along with her.
Tokyo is a busy and Internationalization City, while Kyoto is a leisurely City that retains Tradition.
Walking on the Stone Pavement in Kyoto that was swept clean, looking at the Canal where Carp were raised, and the Streetside shops and Buildings that retained Japanese Style, people couldn't help but slow down their Footstep and speak in a gentle voice.
Wearing Kimono here would not attract too much attention from Others, because there were many people wearing Kimono, whether they were Tourist or Local, they Seemingly were very willing to feel the Traditional Atmosphere here.
The two slowed down their Footstep and walked, and Chi Feichei also told Haibara Ai about the broken Matters of those families.
The Ooka Family and the Suzuki Family don't have a good Relationship. Although Japan has abolished Nobility, only retaining the Emperor Doll and the Emperor Doll's close relatives, the Ooka Family has always been a Prominent Family in Kyoto. They Think the Suzuki Family is Just Nouveau riche, while the Suzuki Family Thinks that the existence of the Ooka Family is very Pedantic, Adhere to Complex Etiquette, and has an incomprehensible Arrogant air, not Free and Easy at all.
In a Constitutional Monarchy country, old Nobility who follow Tradition and families who have entered the upper class through Economy inevitably have Conflicts... No, saying Conflicts is a bit too much, it Should be Said that they dislike each other and have a strange Despise for each other.
However, when people from the Ooka Family and the Suzuki Family meet, they can't quarrel. There is Entanglement of Interests, and while disliking each other, they also inevitably have to maintain Kindness for Cooperation. Moreover, the Etiquette of the Ooka Family does not allow Momiji Ooka to quarrel with Others. Even if they quarrel, they must maintain Elegance.
As For the Ike Family, his Mother inherited a Nobility Title in Europe. The Ooka Family would not have that kind of incomprehensible Arrogant air when facing the Ike Family. Momiji Ooka Respect his Mother very much, but his Mother is different from the Antiquated Person of the Field Family and other families passed down for generations. His Father's Idea is also more practical. He has dealings with these families in Kyoto, but not many dealings.
When they met Just Now, he and Momiji Ooka looked like Friends, but Actually, it was Just because of Etiquette and each other's Identity that they exchanged Pleasantries.
Of course, in these years, the Viewpoint of some Old and Established Family have also changed, not as Stubborn as Before, and the Ideology of young people is more Internationalization, but the Old Habit of despising each other is Still somewhat retained.
When they were about to arrive at the Cherry Blossom Viewing Spot, Haibara Ai looked at the large Cherry Blossom in full bloom in the Park in front of them, and couldn't help but Ask, "Why are you Suddenly interested in Saying so much today?"
Chi Feichei Stop his Footstep, let go of Haibara Ai's Hand, and put his Hand on the top of Haibara Ai's Head, "Hope you Know many Matters, have seen many People, and when describing boys, you won't Just Say whether they are handsome or cool, Understand the difference between people, Understand that the World is big, and then choose your favorite way of Life to Live, so you won't suffer a Loss..."
Haibara Ai lowered her Eyes, not knowing what to Say for a while.
Someone who obviously always likes to keep a Cold Face, with a Temperament as Cold as if he is looking for revenge, is sometimes so Gentle, as Gentle as this April, like this Day with just the right Sunshine and Cherry Blossom in full bloom.
"And you won't be easily abducted by hateful Brats." Chi Feichei expressed the greatest worry in the Heart of an Old Father... no, Older Brother with a serious Face.
Haibara Ai: "..."
(●—●)
The Feeling of 'Kind Old Father' came very strangely... No, this is Wrong, on such a Day with just the right Sunshine and Cherry Blossom in full bloom, the Style Shouldn't Be Like This.
Soon, the Style completely collapsed.
Chi Feichei led Haibara Ai to walk on the small Road for Cherry Blossom Viewing. It Should have been a leisurely Style, but Passersby looked sideways, talked, and even stepped forward to talk. Sentences of 'kawaii', 'kawaii' praises completely obliterated the Feeling in Haibara Ai's Heart.
Very tiring, very noisy, being Staring at by many people with a Gaze that wished they could hug her, very scary.
Chi Feichei led Haibara Ai all the way to the Street selling Traditional Snack, indulging in the addiction of 'showing off Younger Sister', "Ai, do you want to eat something?"
Haibara Ai discovered that not far away, there was a weird uncle casting a fiery Line of Sight, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, pulled on Chi Feichei's Haori Jacket Sleeve, Dodged behind Chi Feichei, and poked her Head out to Look at the stall, "Taiyaki..."
"So cute!"
Two Girls in Kimono next to them looked sideways, actively stepped forward, and bent down to Look at Haibara Ai.
"Just like a Doll!"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Here it comes, here it comes, it's here again.
One of the Girls looked up at Chi Feichei, and shyly tidied her Hair, "Your Younger Sister is so cute, but Seemingly very shy!"
Haibara Ai: "..."
She is not shy, Just feeling uncomfortable being Stared at... Eh? Wait, Seemingly there is a Situation.
Haibara Ai secretly Observed the expressions and Gaze of the two Girls, and Suddenly Discovered that these two people were not coming for her, at least a large Portion of the Reason was not coming for her. She looked up at Chi Feichei's Outline face in profile, and then silently recalled the Girls she had met Before...
Girls being too reserved is Indeed not good, making her almost forget the Intention of 'showing off Older Brother', and missed so much Joy for nothing.
Chi Feichei lowered his Head to Look at Haibara Ai who was pulling on his Sleeve, "She... is A Bit."
"You are not from Kyoto, right? Listening to your Accent, you sound like people from Kanto."
The two Girls' Attitude was very Enthusiasm.
"Are you from Tokyo? Do you want us to take you around?"
"No Need, Thank You." Chi Feichei refused with a calm Face.
Please don't delay him from showing off Younger Sister.
"Then... then Okay."
"Can we leave Contact Information? We are Locals in Kyoto, and Know many Places with Delicious Food, and also Know many Fun Places. If you need a guide, you can contact us."
A minute Afterwards, the two Girls added Chi Feichei's UL Friend and said goodbye and left.
Haibara Ai felt Pity, if someone was a little more Enthusiasm, it wouldn't be this Outcome. Relentlessly refusing really dissuaded a large Portion of Girls...
But soon, Haibara Ai didn't feel Pity anymore.
Might As Well, having Contact Information means they can Chatting again later, don't delay her from showing off Older Brother~
Chi Feichei led Haibara Ai to eat all the way through the Snack Street.
Show off Younger Sister, show off Younger Sister, implicitly and crazily show off Younger Sister...
Showing off Younger Sister can Actually get a pile of Food given for free, Life is beautiful.
Haibara Ai Followed Chi Feichei and ate all the way.
Show off Older Brother, show off Older Brother, implicitly and crazily show off Older Brother...
Showing off Older Brother Actually has pretty Misses giving Small Ball for free, Life is beautiful.
When encountering pretty ones, she conveniently took out her Mobile Phone to add a UL Friend, and Chatting for Brother Hissashi first.
They strolled until Night, when a row of Paper Lantern hanging in the Above lit up with Pink Lamplight, and the two stopped.
Haibara Ai spread the Picnic Mat on the Ground, then spread the Small Blanket, and put the Small Ball with a Red Cherry Blossom Pattern Aside.
These were all obtained by relying on her Older Brother's Face.
Chi Feichei put the Box he was carrying on it, opened them one by one, revealing a pile of Snack inside such as Sakura Mochi, Sakura Daifuku, Sakura Water Cake, Taiyaki and so on.
Half of these were purchased at their own expense, and half were obtained by relying on his Little Sister's Face.
"Seemingly there will be Fireworks to watch later," Haibara Ai handed a pot of Cherry Blossom Wine to Chi Feichei. This was bought by Chi Feichei paying Money, Needless to Say, it must be Intention to taste it later, "There are no Cups, there Should be some selling them in the Surrounding Area, do you want to go Check before the Fireworks start?"
They came to see Cherry Blossom, and they really came empty-handed.
"No Need."
Chi Feichei took the round-bellied Glass Bottle, got up and leaned against the tree Aside, unscrewed the Lid and drank directly.
The Glass Bottle was palm-sized, filled with Pink Liquor, Guess it was very popular with Girls, but the Flavor was not good.
He was drinking it for the First Time. Putting aside the Atmosphere and sentiment factors, the Alcohol Content was not high, and he didn't taste any Cherry Blossom Flavor. There was only the Flavor of Sake and Sugar. It was only Suitable for coaxing Girls to be happy.

Momiji Ooka straightened up, her hands still placed formally in front of her, and said with a smile, "It's been about ten years since we last met, hasn't it? I didn't expect Ike to still recognize me. I wasn't sure it was you just now either. It was Muga who reminded me, and I noticed your eyes, so I dared to come over and say hello."
"Young Master Ike, hello, I am Muga Iori, the Butler of the Ooka family." Muga Iori, with his long curly hair, bowed again in greeting.
Chi Feichei nodded and looked towards Haibara Ai, "This is my Godmother's goddaughter, my Younger Sister Haibara Ai."
"Miss Ooka," Haibara Ai bowed in greeting, also adapting to local customs, "Mr. Iori, please take care of me."
"Miss Haibara, please take care of me too from now on."
Momiji Ooka and Muga Iori bowed back in return, making Chi Feichei feel mentally exhausted.
