Chapter 879: Sharp Men Are the Most Terrifying [Happy Spring Festival, Bonus Chapter]
Mouri Ran didn't advise Suzuki Sonoko, 'If you don't want to go, then don't go,' because sometimes it really isn't something you can choose.
"You people are really tiring," Mori Kogoro said casually, "But, it's just a Wedding, you can treat it as a trip."
"It's not that I don't want to go, Shinya Oga, the eldest son of the Ooga Family, and I grew up playing together. Years ago, our parents even said that we should get married when we grew up," Suzuki Sonoko said, propping her chin with her hand and looking out the Car Window, "But he and I are just Friends, and I never thought about getting married. I also hope he can be happy..."
Chi Feichei didn't say anything. He probably understood why Suzuki Sonoko was depressed.
Initially, the Suzuki Family cultivated the gentle, generous, stable, and organized Ayako Suzuki as the Heir. When Ayako Suzuki reached a certain age, the best outcome would be to find a talented Young Man from within the Conglomerate to marry into the Family. If that wasn't possible, they would find a suitable marriage partner who was good to Ayako Suzuki.
As for Suzuki Sonoko, the Little Daughter, she was allowed to develop freely. Marrying a Conglomerate Heir later would be a good match and strengthen the Connection between the two Families. With an Affinal Relationship, everyone could work together.
However, Ayako Suzuki fell in love with the third Young Master of the Tomiizawa Foundation during her University years. Shiro Suzuki and his Wife considered their Daughter's Feelings and the Relationship with the Tomiizawa Family, so they were happy to let their eldest Daughter marry into that Family, temporarily changing their strategy and turning to cultivate their Little Daughter.
For Suzuki Sonoko, who was in love with Kyogoku Makoto, this wasn't a bad thing.
Because if Ayako Suzuki stayed at Home, the resistance to Suzuki Sonoko and Kyogoku Makoto being together would be very strong.
But correspondingly, Suzuki Sonoko also had to take over the future of the Suzuki Family. In the future, Suzuki Family activities involving the outside world and interpersonal interactions would require Suzuki Sonoko to participate and represent the Family more often.
Suzuki Sonoko probably didn't want Kyogoku Makoto to give up his hobbies and do those Social Engagements for their Relationship. At least before marriage, she could let Kyogoku Makoto do what he wanted to do. As for responsibility, Suzuki Sonoko would take it upon herself.
Currently, both he and Suzuki Sonoko were still in a 'Relaxation Period'. He was in a 'study abroad period' after Graduation, and the burden wouldn't fall on him for a while. Suzuki Sonoko could probably adapt slowly. After University Graduation, she would be able to handle Suzuki Foundation affairs and interpersonal interactions with ease, and wouldn't be so tired that she would lose her hair.
Suzuki Sonoko was depressed not because she didn't want to attend the Wedding of the eldest son of the Ooga Family, but because she was thinking about the affairs she would have to deal with in the future, and felt immense Pressure...
Mouri Ran didn't think so complexly, and said with a smile, "Then you are really generous!"
"Of course," Suzuki Sonoko came back to her senses, not wanting to pass on Negative Emotion to her good Friend, nor wanting Negative Emotion to dominate her current joyful and Relaxing Vacation Life. She actively invited, "Ran, do you want to go with me then?"
Chi Feichei didn't expose Suzuki Sonoko's previous Little Anxiety. There was no need to bring these things up and make everyone sigh.
"Huh?" Mouri Ran pointed at herself, "Is it okay?"
"There are Dutch-style Castles everywhere there, you should go and see them," Suzuki Sonoko leaned closer to Mouri Ran and lowered her voice mysteriously, "Even if it's just to Investigate Wedding Venue Selection for the future~"
"Wed..." Mouri Ran choked, and lowered her voice a little embarrassedly, "Got it, I'll Keep Company with you."
"Ai, what about you?" Suzuki Sonoko asked Haibara Ai with a smile again, thinking about Romantic and aspirational things, her Mood really improved a lot. She continued to whisper and instigate, "The Scenery there is very good, and it's also a good Choice for a Little Girl's Amusement Park, right?"
Haibara Ai gave her Half-Moon Eyes, "Why can't I Investigate Wedding Venue Selection for the future?"
Too underestimated.
Mouri Ran broke out in a sweat and said with a dry smile in a low voice, "It seems a little too early for Ai to consider marriage."
...
Before they arrived at Karuizawa, it started to Rain.
Suzuki Sonoko took the Umbrella Mori Kogoro handed over, opened the Umbrella and got out of the Car, saying helplessly, "In this case, there won't be anyone in the Tennis Court at all."
Chi Feichei also got out of the Car, opened his Umbrella and waited for Conan to jump down, "Sonoko, I'm not in a hurry, you don't need to be in a hurry either."
"Huh?" Conan jumped out of the Car and looked at Chi Feichei in Doubt.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled with curved Eyes, "Thank you, Brother Hichiji, but I'm not in a hurry either."
"What are you guys talking about, hurry or not in a hurry?" Haibara Ai got out of the Car and squeezed under the Umbrella Suzuki Sonoko was holding.
"Marriage is still early, no need to rush to Consider it," Chi Feichei didn't intend to explain it clearly, "Especially for an eight-year-old Little Girl."
He hoped Haibara Ai would learn more about the World, but these things were better left unsaid, to avoid Haibara Ai overthinking and getting into a Dead End, becoming even more anxious than Suzuki Sonoko.
His Family didn't Care About Legacy and continuation that much, and even interpersonal interactions hadn't been taken to Heart much in recent years.
"Huh?" Haibara Ai was Speechless, "It's wrong to eavesdrop on Girls' conversations."
"Accidentally heard it," Chi Feichei said.
Suzuki Sonoko continued to envy Haibara Ai in her Heart, and couldn't help but indulge her Morbid Taste, stroking her chin and pondering, "It's a Pity I don't have a Younger Brother, and my Great Uncle hasn't settled down yet either, otherwise I could arrange a Childhood Sweethearts for Ai, so it wouldn't be too early for her to start considering where to get married."
Haibara Ai's face darkened, "No Need, Thank You."
She didn't want to be Childhood Sweethearts with a Kid.
Suzuki Sonoko chuckled, made a Victory Gesture, but was also seriously considering it in her Heart.
If the Suzuki Family had a Boy of suitable Age, she felt it was really worth considering arranging a Childhood Sweethearts for Haibara Ai, to get along and cultivate Affection from a young Age.
She was just expressing a Little Depression, but Brother Hichiji saw that she had been feeling under Pressure Recently...
Sharp Men are the most terrifying. She didn't want to talk about Benefit and Competition with Brother Hichiji in the future. It would be best to solve Problems by talking about Relationship~
"Hey, are you guys still not leaving?" Mori Kogoro urged.
"Coming!" Mouri Ran opened her Umbrella, closed the Car Door, and chased after him, "But Father, aren't you going to Lock the Car Door?"
Mori Kogoro explained, "Let's go and Check if there's anyone on the Tennis Court first..."
Chi Feichei turned around, holding his Umbrella to shield the Kid Conan as they walked over.
Suzuki Sonoko, as a seventeen-year-old Girl, didn't let future Pressure affect her current Life, and was always laughing and joking...
Strong and optimistic Women are the most Troublesome.
Fortunately, Umbrella had Artificial Intelligence as a Cheat for rapid Development, and they didn't intend to Take Action against Conglomerates in Japan first.
...
The Tennis Court was deserted, with only a Figure holding an Umbrella standing in the Rain on the Court.
Mori Kogoro noticed the Person in the Rain, opened the Main Gate of the Tennis Court, and walked over quickly with Expectation, "Could it be my female University..."
The Person in the Court was a Young Man with a tall and well-proportioned figure, bronze Skin, and a ponytail tied behind his head, holding an Umbrella and spacing out while looking at the Rain.
Mori Kogoro stopped in disappointment.
Mouri Ran Stepped Forward and asked proactively, "Excuse me, are you in some kind of Trouble?"
"Ah?" The Man came back to his senses and Turned Around.
Suzuki Sonoko's Eyes lit up, and she murmured in a low voice, "A Handsome Guy with a different Style..."
"No, I was just recalling the First Time I met my Wife here," the Man Stepped Forward, "Oh right, if you are here to play Tennis, I can give you some Guidance on the Secret Tip for playing Tennis. Actually, I am a Tennis Coach, and my Home is also very close to here. If it's convenient..."
"Cough cough! Cough cough!" Mori Kogoro coughed a few times, signaling not to waste Time and quickly brush the Man off.
Mouri Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled at the Man, "Thank you for your Good Intention, but I think it's better if we pass."
"Yes, Sorry," Suzuki Sonoko heard the Man say that he already had a Wife, and decisively gave up the Idea of flirting, forcing a smile and getting closer to Chi Feichei, "Our Friend can also teach us how to play Tennis, and it's Raining now, so it's not convenient to play Tennis."
"Also Correct, then there's no Method," the Man didn't pester, waved his Hand and Turned Around to leave, "Then goodbye."
...
An Hour later, Riverside.
"I told you it's better to go Fishing!"
Mori Kogoro said with great interest, "You just watch, I will definitely catch a big Catfish for Dinner!"
Due to the Rain, only Mori Kogoro, Mouri Ran, and Chi Feichei were Fishing.
Conan held an Umbrella for Mouri Ran, and Haibara Ai held one for Chi Feichei.
Suzuki Sonoko also took over the Task of holding an Umbrella for Mori Kogoro, muttering to herself Speechlessly in her Heart.
Why did it become like this...
They agreed to come to fish for Handsome Guys, but it turned into Fishing...
Dinner was prepared by the Maid at her Villa, there was no Need to catch Catfish for Dinner...
Chi Feichei held the Fishing Rod, focusing his Eyes and Heart, waiting for a Fish to bite.
Although the River Water flow here was a bit fast, this kind of Rainy Day was very Suitable for Fishing.
The Water Surface was turbid, and the Rain Sound served as a Noise Barrier Layer, which could make Fish less alert. It wasn't a Rainstorm, so it wouldn't scare the Fish away. Moreover, when it Rained and the Water rose, Fish would approach the Riverside to eat Small Insects that had burrowed into the Earth due to the Water soaking in.
He didn't believe that with his Technology, he would still gain Nothing Else this time...
"Ah, my Float drifted away again!" Mouri Ran looked at the Float drifting away along the River Water flow Direction.
"Is it because the Method you tied it was wrong?" Mori Kogoro didn't intend to Get Up, and directly Summoned his Disciple Kuroki Jiro, "Hissashi, Help!"
Chi Feichei put down his Fishing Rod, went to Mouri Ran's side, and Helped to re-tie the Float, also explaining the Correct Method of tying the Fishing Line to Mouri Ran.
Haibara Ai followed to Help hold the Umbrella, sighing in her Heart.
See, her Brother Hissashi was obviously very Experienced, but that time at Master Seizan's place, she and Conan pulled the Small Net and netted several Fish, but Chi Feichei gained Nothing Else all Day long.
Actually, she just wanted to Say to Chi Feichei just now: Is it okay to catch a Fish today? If you still gain Nothing Else, is it okay to stabilize your Mentality and maintain a good Mood?
"Uncle, your Fishing Rod is moving!!" Suzuki Sonoko, who was Staring at Mori Kogoro's Fishing, shouted excitedly.
"It feels like a big Fellow, good! Watch me..." Mori Kogoro stood up and prepared to reel in the Rod, then he was Stunned, "Huh?"
A Car floated down the River Surface, and the Fish Hook was Hooked on that Car, and the Car Roof was floating up and down with the River Water, looking very familiar...
Chi Feichei Turned Head to Look at the River Surface, and recognized the Car at a Glance, "Teacher, the Car you rented."
This was probably also a unique Joy in Fishing Activities, so unique that Fishers could never guess whether the other end of the Hook was an Orca or a Car.
…If the chapter doesn’t end with an even number of chapters every day, I will feel uncomfortable all over, as if I am incomplete…(⊙x⊙;)
