Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Libera Company, this company is not unfamiliar to Conan and Mao Li Ran - because it was the company of Tsuchimoto Mikami that once opened a larger building in the Twin Towers together with them when they participated in Tokiwa Company.

At the last game launch conference of Sindorah Company, the other party gave the game qualification to Xiaolan, Conan and others.

And today, Libera is also going to hold a press conference, so there is naturally no reason for Xiaolan and Sonoko not to go and support it.

So as soon as they got out of school, they rushed to Shibuya.

And after careful consideration, Xiaolan also specially called Conan and Rei and invited them to come to Shibuya together.

What surprised Xiaolan was that Conan and Lie were actually together. From what her father said, Conan took the initiative to invite Lie to play at the other's house...

Ran Mouri was worried that Conan's mental state might be a little abnormal recently. Now it seems that his social activities are still within the normal range, which makes her feel relieved.

Shibuya at night is still as prosperous and charming as ever - it's a pity that it's not night yet.

Even if Conan and Lie arrived late, it was not yet dark.

"Sister Xiaolan! We are here!"

In the lobby on the first floor of Libera Corporation, Conan waved his hands and shouted loudly to his childhood sweetheart, successfully attracting Xiaolan's attention.

——Of course, the more important factor that made Xiaolan notice him was that Lie lifted him up from the ground.

Otherwise, considering Conan's height, Mao Lilan is probably only heard of but not seen...

"Mr. Lin! And Conan...you guys got here so quickly?"

Sure enough, the first thing Xiaolan saw was Lie’s unusually white hair in the crowd, and then she saw Xiao Ke, who was wrapped up by Lie like a doll.

Sonoko followed Xiaolan and greeted Rei and Conan, and then kept looking at Rei's face and smacking her lips - it was not that she was a fangirl, it was mainly because Rei was really pleasing to the eye.

"Ah~ Didn't Conan come to my house to play before? I saw that the weather was nice today, so I took John to walk the dog... Ah! I said it wrong~ I was taking Conan to walk John~ Then I received your call, and we came here after we brought John home~"

Lie answered Xiaolan naturally, and his smile never changed even if he said something wrong.

Conan: "..."

Don't think he didn't hear me! I just compared him to a dog, didn't I?
Conan said that his fists were hard, but Lie was too tall and strong... It was obvious that he couldn't beat him.

However, Xiaolan just took Conan from Rei's hands, and did not notice Rei's "Xiaoxiao" slip of the tongue, and said with a smile:

"Now is the perfect time! There are still a few hours before the press conference starts. Mr. Tu Yuan just said that we can visit their backstage first...

By the way, Mr. Lin, didn't Hongshu come out today? "

Lie showed a little helplessness on his face at the right time: "Yes, you also know Hongshu's physical condition, especially in this kind of cold and warm weather..."

"It's really not easy for Hongshu..."

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko sighed in unison.

Conan's eyes twitched. He felt that if he continued, the topic would be diverted to Java. He quickly spoke in a cute tone: "Hey, Xiaolan, what does Mr. Tuyuan's press conference look like backstage?"

Mao Lilan finally came back to her senses and took Conan's hand, "Backstage, it's actually some debugging before the press conference, including game equipment and so on... I just took a walk with Sonoko and came here to wait for you, how about we go and take a look together?" Sonoko also showed a certain degree of enthusiasm: "In addition to the technological things behind the scenes, you can also take a look at the stage! They may still be rehearsing now."

dress rehearsal?

Conan blinked.

"Sister Sonoko, is their game launch conference the same as the previous Sindorah's 'Cocoon' game?"

"That's not the case. It's just a game that's difficult to play on a computer. But the picture quality is so exquisite that it feels like you're actually there! And I heard that there's a projection device that turns the game screen into a 'virtual reality', but I don't know how to do it..."

Perhaps it was the game that aroused her enthusiasm, or perhaps it was because tomorrow was a holiday, Sonoko started talking nonstop after Conan asked a question.

When Conan first came to the territory of Libera Corporation, he was attracted by the futuristic technology decoration inside, which also aroused his curiosity.

He has no resistance to metal and technological things, just like he likes to study some sports cars...

The assembly line-like wall decorations coupled with the sharp and hard metal walls give people an indescribable sense of toughness. There are also LCD screens of different sizes everywhere on the walls of the corridor. Walking along the corridor, Conan feels like he is walking inside a future battleship.

But he was curious about——

In his impression, Tsuchigen Mikami was a relatively "shy" person... This might not be accurate, but Conan did find that he was not keen on communicating with others, and was even relatively withdrawn. However, his activities and behavior were very elegant, which once gave Conan the illusion that he was a "lady from a noble family"...

Would such a person actually like this kind of hard science fiction style decoration?
For some reason, Conan felt something was wrong.

It's just as awkward as telling him that 'Lie is a man of few words'.

Since Xiaolan and Sonoko had been here more than once and had just taken a general tour, they took Rei and Conan through the lobby with ease and came to the venue where the press conference was to be held.

The venue is an independent exhibition hall with about 300 seats and a stage attached to the wall in the center.

The layout of the stage is very different from that of a normal theater. The floor and background are covered with dark blue curtains. At this moment, the spotlights, searchlights and projection lights on both sides and above the stage are shining on the blue curtains, making it look like a super bright computer screen.

"Are they adjusting the lights?" Conan stood in the aisle between the seats, looking at the stage with a little curiosity.

Xiaolan nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Tuyuan was supervising them just now. He said he wanted to do a final test of the performance of the projection equipment... Speaking of which, where did Mr. Tuyuan go?"

She looked around but didn't see the other person.

I guess he's busy with other things...

At this moment, a slightly unfamiliar voice sounded: "As for the president, he is now in the main control room at the back to monitor their debugging results... Are this gentleman and child the family members of the two young ladies?"

"Ah! Mr. Mishima..."

Xiaolan and Sonoko said "Ah", "Yes, this is Conan who lives in my house... and this one is my father's friend, Mr. Chi Yanlin."

"Nice to meet you..."

The man named Mishima seemed to be a senior employee of Libera Company and looked to be less than 30 years old.

"If you are all guests of the president and need to see the president, please follow me. I need to report some technical matters..."
