Chapter 832 This is a Big Shot, a living one!
In the following time, Mouri Ran helped Kojima Yuki and Togashi Junji tidy up the Table and set the Cutlery.
In the Kitchen, Kojima Yuki hummed a Song softly with a smile, inserting Flower into the Vase one by one.
Mouri Ran helped to carry the Plate for a moment, "Senior, should I take this out?"
"No need, just tidy it up and put it in the Kitchen first," Kojima Yuki turned her head back and smiled, "I still need your help, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay." Mouri Ran put down the Plate.
"Yuki," Togashi Junji teased, "Your mood suddenly became so good?"
"Of course," Kojima Yuki smiled and arranged Flower, lowering her voice, "Being able to meet Senior Chi is really amazing! Let me tell you, I have carefully read Senior Chi's Thesis, and the Teacher said it could be listed as a Textbook..."
This is a Big Shot, a living one! Super good mood!
Togashi Junji listened to Kojima Yuki babbling on and on about Thesis, reading notes, and Gain, the teasing smile on his face gradually stiffened.
Seemingly it's not what he think...
Mouri Ran chuckled dryly, Senior's Style has gone off the rails.
Senior won't drag Brother Hissashi into a discussion about academics later, right?
"Ah, talking about these things with you seemingly is a bit too boring," Kojima Yuki's eyes sparkled, already imagining the situation of enshrining Chi Feichei and worshiping him, "But the Department of Veterinary Medicine's courses are really numerous, even more than ordinary University courses, it's practically like doing a postgraduate degree at the same time. I still need at least two years to Graduate, but Senior Chi was actually able to achieve Early Graduation, he's really amazing!"
"Brother Chi Feichei is so amazing..."
Mouri Ran smiled, feeling a little bad about telling Kojima Yuki that the academic Big Shot in her eyes might just be a Veterinarian who doesn't take his job seriously.
Having known him for so long, she only felt that Chi Feichei's Reasoning was amazing, and his Cooking was also amazing, but she had no idea what level Chi Feichei was at in Veterinary Medicine, because Chi Feichei himself seemingly didn't care about it much.
...
In the Living Room, Chi Feichei, Mori Kogoro, Haibara Ai, and Conan, the four freeloaders, sat in a row.
Conan and Haibara Ai each picked up a Novel that Mouri Ran had brought back, looking at them listlessly.
Mori Kogoro waited, yawning, occasionally glancing towards the Kitchen.
Chi Feichei sat on the Chair, raised his eyes and looked at the Yellow-Green Tablecloth.
This Tablecloth is really ugly...
Conan felt time dragging on, closed the Book he hadn't finished, sighed, and leaned back against the Chair Back, suddenly discovered the Chair wobbling and tipping forward.
Seeing Conan about to fall to the Ground, Chi Feichei beside him quickly reached out his Hand and grabbed Conan's back Collar.
"Thump!"
The Chair fell to the Ground, knocking over the Backpack placed on the Ground.
Conan, who was being held up, broke out in a sweat, "Uh, thank you Brother Chi..."
Chi Feichei put Conan down.
Kojima Yuki, who came out of the Kitchen carrying a Vase, be stunned for a moment, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay." Conan gave Kojima Yuki a harmless Smiling Face like a Children.
Mori Kogoro glanced over and withdrew his line of sight.
Haibara Ai yawned and continued reading the boring Story Book.
Conan squatted on the Ground, stood the Backpack up again, and put the Glass Bottle that had fallen out of the Backpack back inside.
"Sorry about that," Kojima Yuki put down the Vase, then righted the Chair and said, "This Chair is a bit Faulty."
Chi Feichei turned his head to look at the Chair, the Nail where the Chair leg connected to the Chair Back was a little loose, "Need help?"
"No need troublesome, just be careful when you sit," Togashi Junji passed by carrying a Chair, "Kojima, today's Birthday protagonist's Location will be right in the center, right?"
"Uh-huh," Kojima Yuki nodded, looked at the Backpack that had been knocked over earlier, and reminded, "Speaking of which, Togashi, should you put your Backpack in the Kitchen? It's not very convenient here."
"Okay!" Togashi Junji squatted down, lifted the Backpack onto the Chair, and carried it away.
"Student Kojima, could you change the Tablecloth?" Chi Feichei looked at the Tablecloth on the Table, said with a calm face, "It's very ugly."
Kojima Yuki was struck by Thunder, frozen.
Disliked by a Big Shot, how terrible...
Haibara Ai sweat-dropped, directly saying it's very ugly... Well, that Tablecloth was a bit yellowish, no wonder Brother Hissashi dislike looking at it.
Chi Feichei wasn't really dislike looking at it just because he disliked the color itself, he explained to Kojima Yuki, "The Floor of the Living Room is Lotus Root Color, the Wall is Warm Yellow, the Carpet is Fluorescent Orange with high Saturation, the Furniture is Brown, the Floor of the Kitchen is Purple, and the Wall of the Kitchen is Pink again. Although too many colors in one House can easily look flashy and cramped, at least the color tones are all Warm Color. But putting Yellow-Green with low Saturation on the Dining Table on the Carpet is very jarring."
This needed to be pointed out, because the combination was really ugly.
Moreover, a Fluorescent Orange Carpet with such high Saturation laid in a Living Room with a lot of Furniture was also very Weird.
Actually, the combination of the Carpet and Tablecloth was what made it look ugly, but he wouldn't mention the Carpet, so as not to seem too picky. But this Tablecloth was absolutely unbearable, it really ruined the Aesthetics.
"Ah? Then..." Kojima Yuki came back to her senses, looked at the Tablecloth, and also felt it was increasingly dislike, "Senior Chi, what kind of replacement do you think would be better? I have two more Tablecloth here."
"Tablecloth with high Saturation of color tones, Warm Color Tone," Chi Feichei said, "If you don't have one, then remove the Carpet."
"Okay!" Kojima Yuki nodded seriously, turned around and went to the Storage Room to find a Red and White Stripe Tablecloth, "Is this okay?"
Chi Feichei was silent for a moment, "Okay."
Indeed, the problem was still the fatal fluorescent orange carpet.
But at least now it didn't look so dislike anymore.
Conan: "..."
Last time at Twilight Mansion for Dinner, Chi Feichei and Saguru Hakuba had teasing about the Tablecloth and Desktop, saying other people's taste was extremely poor. Afterwards, he thought they were Testing, but now it seems Chi Feichei very seriously dislikes it.
Thinking carefully, although the color tones at Chi Feichei's Home were simple, it looked very comfortable and harmonious. Even the small Decorations and that terrifying Doll Wall didn't have a sense of abruptness that was difficult to integrate, nor did it look flashy.
Looking at this House again...
Never mind, he'd pretend he couldn't see it, and couldn't let Chi Feichei make him too picky.
Chi Feichei staring at the Dining Table for a moment, got up and said, "I'm going out for a bit."
"Okay..." Kojima Yuki reminded, "Dinner will be ready soon!"
"Ten minutes." Chi Feichei went out.
Haibara Ai considered for a moment, and didn't follow.
She was tired from playing today and didn't want to move. She didn't want to be a little Tail like Edogawa.
Ten minutes later, Chi Feichei returned with a large bunch of Warm Color Tone Balloons with a surface texture that was slightly frosted. He tied the Balloons in bunches and neatly fixed them to the Floor and Wall near the Dining Table, creating a layered Decoration that acted as a Buffer for the various color tones in the House.
Mouri Ran, Kojima Yuki, and Togashi Junji opened the Door to greet the Staff delivering the Meal, busily placing the delivered Cuisine on the Table. When they finished and looked up, they discovered the House looked much better, and with the Balloon Decorations, it really had more of a Party Atmosphere.
"So beautiful!" Mouri Ran exclaimed with a smile.
"Good job, Senior Chi!" Kojima Yuki smiled.
Haibara Ai raised her head and looked, then continued flipping through the boring Book.
This might be the super high Aesthetics Standard inherited from her Godmother, of course it was amazing.
"Looking at it like this, it really feels more like a Birthday Atmosphere," Togashi Junji also smiled and said, "Keiko will definitely be very surprise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Doorbell rang.
"It seems Keiko and the others have arrived, they're right on Time!" Kojima Yuki quickly went to open the Door.
The Door opened, and outside, a Woman with short Brown wavy hair, wearing a Pink off-shoulder long-sleeved trendy shirt and looking very trendy, held a bunch of Red Peony and greeted with a smile, "How are you?"
"Just waiting for you, Keiko." Kojima Yuki pulled the Door open and stepped aside.
Outside, there was also a tall, thin Man wearing round-frame Glasses, a dark blue Coat, and Shorts, who greeted with a smile, "Sorry to bother you tonight!"
"Welcome." Kojima Yuki responded with a smile.
"Nonaka, you're late!" Togashi Junji said.
"Sorry," the tall, thin Man smiled and said, "Traffic jam on the road!"
In the Living Room, Mouri Ran whispered with genuine envy, "The relationship between the four of them is really good."
Chi Feichei uh-huh'ed, it's just that the number of people tonight is a bit unlucky.
The Mori Death God trio was complete, plus the original four Birthday celebrants, if one died, it would be a perfect one-in-three chance. No matter how you look at it, tonight wouldn't be peaceful.
Kojima Yuki introduced the people present again. The tall, thin Man named Nonaka Kazuki went to park the Car. After Sawaguchi Keiko, the Birthday Party's protagonist for tonight, entered the House, she kept looked at the Balloon Decorations.
"So these were prepared by Senior Chi, so beautiful," Sawaguchi Keiko put her Hands behind her back, circled the Balloon Decorations twice, turned her head and smiled, teasing her Friend, "I knew it, how could Yuki and Junji have such intentions!"
"Request, Keiko, please don't said that," Kojima Yuki pretended to be angry, but her eyes were full of smile, "We also seriously prepared for the Party!"
"I know," Sawaguchi Keiko smiled and said, "Good job for you."
Kojima Yuki smiled, "By the way, Keiko, has the Date for your Study Abroad been confirmed?"
"I'm leaving next Tuesday," Sawaguchi Keiko went to the Chair, put her Hands on the Chair Back, and said with a helpless face, "I have to prepare so many things, I'm almost worked to death."
"Are you in such a hurry to go out?" Kojima Yuki went to the Kitchen to get things.
"Unfortunately, I have to go to America first to rent a House and settle down, and the Study Abroad Quota seems to have fluctuated, I want to finalize this matter as soon as possible," Sawaguchi Keiko said, frowning slightly as if troubled, then turned her head to Chi Feichei, who was sitting on the Chair next to her, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yuki was just telling me recently that Senior graduated at twenty with Excellent scores. We're clearly the same age, but I still have to worry about the Study Abroad Quota. Thinking about it, I really envy Senior. Graduating with those scores means you don't have to worry about the Future at all!"
Chi Feichei raised his eyes to look at Sawaguchi Keiko, "I indeed don't worry much."
Sawaguchi Keiko met those Purple Eyes with peaceful Emotion, be stunned for a moment. She looked at those eyes, and don't know why, it was just like facing a Pond, calm and waveless, reflecting herself and all her little intentions. Her heart was inexplicably flustered, and her Heartbeat quickened.
Chi Feichei didn't withdraw his line of sight, and continued to actively ask, "What's wrong?"
Haibara Ai's line of sight shifted from the Book to Chi Feichei, thoughtful.
Weird, facing someone he just met, if there's no reason, Brother Hissashi wouldn't actively ask 'What's wrong'. Could it be...
Brother Hissashi likes mature style of female?
"Nothing," Sawaguchi Keiko lowered her head, a smile playing on her lips, seemingly embarrassed by her act of staring at Senior Chi's eyes and zoning out just now, "Senior Chi's eyes are very special, I looked and looked and got distracted... Really, what am I saying?"
Chi Feichei withdrew his line of sight and didn't respond.
She didn't even know what she was saying, how was he supposed to respond?

This is a Big Shot, a living one! Super good mood!
Togashi Junji listened to Kojima Yuki babbling on and on about Thesis, reading notes, and Gain, the teasing smile on his face gradually stiffened.
Seemingly it's not what he think...
Mouri Ran chuckled dryly, Senior's Style has gone off the rails.
