Chapter 831: The Déjà Vu of Crashing the Party is Back Again
Six in the afternoon.
Sky High Amusement Park, Roller Coaster Exit.
Mouri Ran held two books in her arms, watching a young Couple walk by playfully, her mind wandering a bit.
It was just after they rode the Roller Coaster together at the Amusement Park one day that her Childhood Sweetheart started disappearing every other day.
Conan and Mori Kogoro were looking at Merchandise at a Keychain Stall. Seeing that Mouri Ran hadn't said anything for a while, Conan turned his Head and saw Mouri Ran Staring at the Roller Coaster rushing up the Rail Tracks. He was startled for a moment. "Ran... Older Sister?"
Mouri Ran snapped back to attention and turned her Head, Smilingly, "I'll Call Brother Hichiji and Ai to ask where they are now. Conan, do you Whether or Not want to play here for a while?"
"No Need," Conan Acting Cute, "Didn't we also book a Dining Room to have Dinner?"
"That's right. Then I'll bring you another day."
Mouri Ran smiled at Conan, took out her Mobile Phone, and called Chi Feichei.
Less than two seconds after dialing, the call was answered. The Wind was very loud over There, but the male voice was Still Calm.
"...Ran, ...arrived?"
Mouri Ran vaguely heard a bit of the Tone, Guessing Chi Feichei's Intention. She felt a bit awkward. "Yes, we have Already arrived."
"...Roller Coaster... a moment..."
"Ah, okay. Then we'll talk after you come down."
Mouri Ran put down her Mobile Phone, looking at the call ended screen. Her Mood was Subtle.
It turned out she could communicate with people by guessing their meaning. It was truly amazing.
On the Roller Coaster rushing up the Bend, Haibara Ai watched Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone with a Calm Expression. Her Mood was even more Subtle.
Next to her, Brother Hichiji was dressed All Black, Expressionless, as if sitting in a stable Car. He didn't deliberately act superior, but he carried a gloomy Aura caused by Excessive Calmness.
There really wasn't any feeling of riding a Roller Coaster at all.
Haibara Ai withdrew her Line of Sight, rested her Right Hand elbow on the safety railing, propped up her chin, and Expressionless looked at the Scenery.
But the high-altitude Scenery was Good.
On the six-seater Roller Coaster, the two Girls in the front seats were screaming loudly, and the Couple in the Back Seat were also screaming and laughing. In the middle, Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai watched the Roller Coaster rush up high and drop low with Calm faces the Entire Process. Until they got off the Roller Coaster, the two of them still had Calm faces as they walked towards where Mouri Ran and the Three People were.
Conan watched the Two People walk over, mentally chuckling.
That kind of déjà vu of crashing the party was back again. He completely couldn't imagine what these two were like on the Roller Coaster.
"Brother Hichiji, Ai, over here!" Mouri Ran waved with a smile.
Chi Feichei walked closer and Greeted Mori Kogoro, "Teacher."
"Uh, cough, you're here," Mori Kogoro composed himself. He felt that this early Summer wasn't hot at all. He handed the Plastic Bag containing the Guan Yu Red Hare Keychain to Chi Feichei. "Officer Yumichou asked me to pass this on to you. Now that Mr. Morozumi has confessed guilt, and Mr. Genda isn't the Criminal in the arson Case, this Thing can be returned to you."
"Thank You," Chi Feichei Received the Plastic Bag and stuffed it into his Pocket. By the Way, he handed three Royal Express Tickets to Mori Kogoro. "Have Teacher's Wife and Sonoko decided not to go?"
Currently, one Ticket remained that hadn't been given away.
Ayumi was traveling, Genta and Mitsuhiko Seemingly also went out with their Parents. Koizumi Akako absolutely didn't want to see any people from the Lineage of the Holy See Faith. Kuroba Kaito wouldn't Leave Aoko Nakamori alone to take the Train...
But there was no need to worry about giving this Ticket away. The Train Travel was still two or three Days away. He would ask again later who wanted to go.
"My Mama said she has a Case to deal with and really can't get away," Mouri Ran said regretfully. "Sonoko just returned from traveling in Germany today. The Suzuki Family happens to have a family Banquet these few Days, it was Already booked, so she also can't get away. But she Probably will attend the welcoming Banquet for the Queen's arrival."
"It's best if that Woman doesn't go," Mori Kogoro put the Ticket into his Pocket. "It'll save her from feeling inferior after seeing the Queen's grace!"
"Father, what kind of Words are you saying!" Mouri Ran grumbled with dissatisfaction, then turned her Head and said to Chi Feichei, "Brother Hichiji, let's Go Together to have Dinner. Father has Already booked a nearby Japanese Restaurant. Just consider it Thanks for the Royal Express Tickets you gave us."
Chi Feichei Look Towards Haibara Ai.
Haibara Ai Nodded, indicating she had no Opinion.
"Aren't you also going to return books?" Mori Kogoro Lowered his Head and looked at his Watch. "If you keep dawdling, you'll Miss the Time of the Dining Room reservation."
"Ah, right. Then we need to be a bit faster," Mouri Ran hurriedly walked towards Outside the Amusement Park. By the Way, she explained to Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai, "Recently, I borrowed two books from a Senior who goes to University. Her Apartment is right in the Vicinity. After returning the books, we can also just make it for the Time of the Dining Room reservation."
...
Chi Feichei drove a Group of People over and Parked the Car below an Apartment Building.
Mori Kogoro got out of the Car, bent down, and said to Chi Feichei in the Car, "Hissashi, you and this Kid just wait here for us. We'll go up quickly and will be back soon!"
"Got it." Chi Feichei didn't Intention to Follow.
As Mouri Ran's Old Dad, Mori Kogoro Naturally had to meet the person who had been taking care of his Daughter and express Thank to the other party.
Conan, this Loose End, would Definitely Follow.
He and Haibara Ai shouldn't go. Otherwise, bringing a large group of four people to return a Book, this Formation was a bit too big.
Haibara Ai sat in the Car, casually picked up Hissashi who was poking its Head out. Summer had arrived, and it was again the Suitable Season for coiling Hissashi. It's Just that the Weather these few Days wasn't very hot yet. After a while, it would be more Suitable. "Brother Hichiji, Tomorrow when I see the Queen, should I Bow or Curtsy?"
Chi Feichei said without thinking, "Curtsy."
If Not British People, Female meeting the Queen can Bow and Curtsy. But due to His Mom's Identity and His Dad's designated Nobility Title, as His Mom's Goddaughter, it's Still A Bit Better for Haibara Ai to Curtsy.
Haibara Ai Nodded, Lowered her Head and coiled Hissashi for a while, then Speak Out, "I Seemingly haven't Said to you yet, My Mama is also British People. I heard from My Older Sister that she only then met My Father (Chi Zhennosuke) after studying abroad in Japan."
Chi Feichei also told Haibara Ai A Bit about the Situation at Home. "My Home is the opposite. It was My Father (Chi Zhennosuke) who studied abroad in Britain and met Mother."
"When they got together, was it Uncle Shinnosuke who took the initiative?" Haibara Ai asked Again.
"Perhaps," Chi Feichei saw Haibara Ai looking like she wanted to listen to a Story and added, "I Don't Know their Story."
Haibara Ai felt a bit Regret. She also wasn't very clear about the Story between her own Parents. Probably she also won't be able to Listen To it. Then she would find an Opportunity to Listen To her Godmother's. "Then I'll ask Godmother another day."
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei responded.
After waiting for over ten minutes, Mori Kogoro and Conan didn't come down. Instead, a Girl who looked around twenty Years Old came down with Mouri Ran.
Recently the Weather wasn't very hot. The Girl wore a White T-shirt with a green Alias outside, had Short Hair, cute and delicate Facial Features, and the whole person looked very refreshing.
Mouri Ran walked to the Front of Car, a bit conflicted. "Brother Hichiji..."
"Let me explain. I am Kojima Yuki... Eh?" After the Girl saw Chi Feichei's Appearance, the Smile on her Face turned into surprise, and quickly turned into a bit of Surprise. "Senior Chi?"
Haibara Ai Look Towards Chi Feichei: You know her?
Chi Feichei slightly shook his Head.
Don't Know.
"Senior Kojima, do you know Brother Hichiji?" Mouri Ran asked Curiously.
"I know Senior Chi, But Senior Chi Probably doesn't know me," Kojima Yuki waved her Hand, Look Towards Chi Feichei who got out of the Car, her eyes shining with Surprise. "I am a Student from the Department of Veterinary Medicine! Although I don't attend School at Todai University, But Recently our School organized us to go to Todai University to attend classes. Senior Chi is an Honorary Alumnus. I saw his Photo. His Thesis was even mentioned by the Teacher in class!"
"I See." Mouri Ran laughed lightly.
Although it wasn't This Situation where they met at a School Social Gathering, but rather saw Photos on the Honor wall, it was A Bit Weird. But if they knew each other, Brother Hichiji Probably won't mind Go Together to have Dinner.
"Senior Chi, I just happened to be Home today helping a Friend host a Birthday Party, So I invited Ran and Mr. Mori to stay and Go Together attend the Party," Kojima Yuki Enthusiasm Smilingly invited. "You also Come Over together! To be able to see Mr. Mori and Senior Chi is truly not Easy. If you can stay, that would be the best Gift today!"
The Girl had Said Words to this extent, Chi Feichei didn't refuse. But when Go Upstairs, he asked about the Situation, Called a Dining Room, booked a table of French Cuisine, and had someone send it to the Apartment.
Kojima Yuki didn't have Time to Reaction. By the Time she came back to her senses, Chi Feichei had Already explained the Request and Address in two Words and hung up the Phone Call. She hurriedly Said, "No Need for so much Troublesome. We also prepared quite a bit of Cuisine..."
"It's okay," Mouri Ran Said. "With so many of us coming to bother you, Contingency the prepared Food isn't enough? Preparing A Bit more is also Good."
"Just consider it the Birthday Gift we're giving." Chi Feichei added.
Normally freeloading meals from his own Teacher was fine, that's when the Client or Mori Kogoro's Friend is treating, so he didn't feel guilty eating. But this Time it's Mouri Ran's Friend's Friend having a Birthday. Not preparing any Gift really can't be justified.
Rather than buying a Gift for the person having a Birthday, Might As Well Help book a table of Dish as a Gift. No Need to Worry about the Gift chosen isn't Suitable, and can also consider Kojima Yuki, the person who took care of Mouri Ran and let them attend the Party, so as not to make Kojima Yuki feel awkward.
"You are truly too Polite..." Kojima Yuki walked through the Third Floor Corridor, Smilingly Reach Out and pushed open the Door. "Come on, please come in!"
Mori Kogoro and Conan were waiting Inside the Room, Chatting with a Man who had medium-long Hair, a square Face shape, and an Appearance like a tough guy.
"Let me introduce you, This Is my Friend Togashi whom I met in the University Club." Kojima Yuki introduced with a smile.
"Hello, I am Togashi Junji." The Man Greeted.
"This Is Senior Chi Feichei," Kojima Yuki wanted to have some Limbs Interaction with Chi Feichei to show Enthusiasm, as a Result, was deterred by Chi Feichei's repressive Aura in his All Black clothes, and Still maintained distance. "It's Just as I Said to you, the Senior who is clearly the Same Age as me, But Already graduated from Todai University..."
Saying this, Kojima Yuki then turned her Head and explained to Chi Feichei, "Below the Photo is your Name and Age. Our Classmates at that Time were Still Guessing how old you were when you started Todai University!"
"He may not necessarily be a Senior," Mouri Ran received the Topic with a smile. "Brother Hichiji Should have entered School in the Same year as Senior Kojima, But he Early Graduation."
Kojima Yuki laughed without Care About, "Then that also counts as a Senior!"
