Soon.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Amuro Tooru prepared all the dishes for tonight, enough for two tables.

The adults sat at one table, and the children sat at another table with Xiaolan and the other high school students.

After all, children and high school students are not allowed to drink alcohol.

However, it was uncertain whether adults like Kitahara Natsuhiro would drink alcohol.

After all, Akiba Reiko is a soprano, and she can't touch alcohol or other stimulants, at least not now.

She knew that the performances at the Domoto Concert Hall would still proceed as scheduled, so she couldn't afford to falter at this crucial moment.

"Wow, this is such a feast! It's all my favorite dishes that go well with rice. It's wonderful!" Sonoko looked at the delicious meal on the table, her face beaming with happiness.

Upon hearing this, Genta couldn't help but retort, "Sonoko-neechan, what you're saying is so unbelievable! The one at your house is the real feast!"

Kitahara Natsuhiro's small restaurant is definitely no match for the Suzuki zaibatsu, so Genta's words are correct.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko tapped Genta on the head, put her hands on her hips, and said, "I said this is a feast, and this is a feast."

"A good meal isn't about what expensive ingredients are used; it's about how delicious the food is and whether it suits your taste."

"As long as it suits your taste, it's a feast."

"You little brat, you don't understand at all!"

"Tch," Genta scoffed. "But I think the real feast is what Sonoko-neechan has at home."

"Then let me ask you, is eel rice a delicacy?"

"Yes!" Yuan Tai blurted out without much thought.

"See?" Sonoko shrugged and looked at Genta.

Upon hearing this, Genta scratched his head sheepishly, then sat down to prepare for dinner.

He admits defeat very quickly.

After seeing Genta back down, Sonoko grinned and gave Ran a peace sign.

Xiaolan laughed: "Yuanzi, really, is it necessary to be so petty with a child?"

“Of course.” Sonoko sat down. “This meal was made with great effort by Mr. Kitahara and Mr. Amuro. How could this little brat say such a thing!”

“That’s true,” Xiaolan nodded.

"Genta, you can't say things like that again," Professor Agasa said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Genta realized his mistake and bowed to Kitahara Natsumi and Amuro Tooru, who were not far away: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Amuro Tooru didn't care at all, since it wasn't a fancy meal, just some home-cooked dishes.

However, to most people this would be considered a feast.

Perhaps the Genta family eats so well that they no longer consider this a grand meal, but compared to the Sonoko family, there is simply no comparison.

But Sonoko isn't the kind of pampered rich girl who can eat anything as long as it's not bad; she can even work outside.

It's safe to say that wealthy heiresses like Sonoko are truly rare.

Especially in the world of Detective Conan, because in this world, many rich heiresses act like they're the most important person in the world, and then they get killed off.

All I can say is that Sonoko knows perfectly well how to survive longer and more safely in Beika Town.

"Alright," Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Sit down and eat. Don't say things like that again. I worked really hard to make this, otherwise..."

His threat was self-evident.

Genta also sensed this threat and shrank back, not daring to speak.

Then, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Amuro Tooru took their seats.

At this table are Kitahara Natsuhiro, Amuro Tooru, Yonehara Akiko, Vermouth, Ai, Akiba Reiko, Kawabe Kanade, Miyano Akemi, Enomoto Azusa, and Wakita Kanenori, the kitchen helper.

However, because the table wasn't big enough, they put two tables together, which was sufficient.

After everyone was seated, they began to eat, with the children already serving themselves rice and eating voraciously.

After all, it was getting late, and they were really hungry.

Kitahara Natsuyu and his group were about to have some drinks, but Akiba Reiko couldn't drink alcohol; she was drinking fruit juice instead.

Even fruit juice shouldn't be consumed in excess.

After all, there's no other way. As a soprano, the most important thing is your voice. If you can't even protect your voice, then you're not qualified to be a soprano.

“Reiko, you’re really pitiful.” Kawabe Kanade said with a grin, “With so much delicious food in front of you, you can only drink juice. It’s so sad.”

Because she is a violinist, she can eat and drink anything, as long as she takes care of her hands. She doesn't have as many dietary restrictions as Akiba Reiko.

Upon hearing this, Akiba Reiko rolled her eyes at her friend, looked her up and down, took a sip of her juice, and said softly, "Have you gained weight recently?"

"You seem to have gained weight around your stomach."

The next second, Kawabe Kanade's smile froze, then gradually disappeared, turning into a poker face. Finally, she said angrily, "I'm not scared, don't talk nonsense."

"My weight is still the same as before, you can't fool me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

There's a saying that goes, "A smile doesn't disappear, but it can be moved."

Sure enough, the smile on Kawabe Kanade's face transferred to them; it was just that magical.

However, when it comes to weight, these women have something to say.

Weight, age, skincare products, clothes, and bags are all topics that women can talk about.

Furthermore, there were many women at Kitahara Natsuhiro's table, so once the topic of weight came up, they immediately started chatting.

Kitahara Natsuhiro, Amuro Tooru, and Wakita Kanenori clinked glasses and drank a cup.

While drinking, Kenjiro Wakita glanced at Vermouth and couldn't help but think to himself, "I didn't expect that Vermouth would get involved with Natsuhiro Kitahara."

"It really surprises me that this woman likes a man like this."

"And the two are so far apart in age. She clearly prefers younger women, women who are in their prime and strong."

He was a veteran of the organization, as was Vermouth.

However, Kenjiro Wakita knew what Vermouth looked like, but Vermouth didn't know what Rum looked like, though she knew a general feature.

Therefore, there was a significant inequality in terms of intelligence. However, Vermouth had a powerful backer like Kitahara Natsuhiro, so she had known about Wakita Kanenori being Rum for a long time, and was simply cooperating with Kitahara Natsuhiro and Rum's performance.

Little did Rum know, while Rum was observing Vermouth, Vermouth was also observing Rum.

"Rum actually dressed himself up so ugly. Those front teeth are really ugly, and that eye patch, all these things combined are just hilarious."

"I really don't know why they're dressed like this. Is it to gain Kogoro Mouri's trust and get information about Shinichi Kudo?"

It's as if she's already taken care of the aftermath of Shinichi Kudo's death, so it won't be easily discovered, not even by Rum.

Even so, quite a few people still know that Conan Edogawa is Shinichi Kudo.

After all, Conan really loves to show off, and the consequence of showing off is that he gets noticed and his true identity is discovered.

Although she really wanted to remind Conan, she knew he wouldn't listen.

If he listened to that, then he wouldn't be Conan Edogawa.

Fortunately, they had Kitahara Natsuhiro with them, so they weren't worried about Conan getting into trouble.

Because she knew that Kitahara Natsuhiro had already taken action against Rum several times because of Conan.

Each time, they directly brainwashed him, making him forget everything about Conan.

That's why Rum is now stuck in this cycle.

Find information about Conan, forget about Conan, and then keep looking, over and over again.

Unless Kitahara Natsuhiro decides to quit, Rum will never be able to uncover any information about Conan in his lifetime.

Supernatural beings that are half-human and half-ghost are truly terrifying.

But the fact that such a terrifying man was her man made Vermouth want to let out a soft snort.

Because this feeling is just so amazing!

If conditions allowed, she would have loved to shoot the organization's boss dead, which would have ended everything at its source.

Unfortunately, she can't do it now because she doesn't know where the boss is.

Besides, those guys wouldn't just watch the organization collapse like that.

After all, the organization possesses the drug Silver Bullet, and these agencies send in undercover agents to obtain it, research it, and create the complete Dream Drug—that's their plan.

The boss has an understanding with these organizations: you can send in undercover agents, and I can send in undercover agents too. Everyone can do this and find these undercover agents, but no one can overturn the table.

This is the tacit understanding between the boss and the organization; otherwise, this criminal organization would have been eliminated long ago.

After all, the black organization is really disrespecting them by causing such trouble, and anyone who dares to disrespect them would be dead long ago.

If the organization weren't still useful, it would have been wiped out long ago.

So in this situation, it's a matter of who moves faster.

So far, the organization still has the upper hand in terms of infiltration.

Because the organization has more and higher-ranking spies planted within these institutions.

The number of undercover agents they planted was much smaller, and their positions were not particularly high, at most they were at the level of Amuro Tooru.

Because the organization is very exclusive, the people it trusts are members who have been with the organization since childhood, while members who join later cannot fully gain the organization's trust.

Otherwise, given Amuro Tooru's abilities, he would have become a core member of the organization long ago, instead of just a code name member.

However, while other organizations are also working to find the boss's location, some people have already turned their attention to the Miyano family, who developed the drug.

However, not long ago, the person who developed this drug, Shiho Miyano, suddenly died, and even her sister died at the same time, which caught them all off guard.

They initially thought it was done by the organization itself, but after investigation, they discovered it wasn't. As for who did it, they don't know and the investigation is ongoing.

After investigating for so long, we still haven't found any clues.

This made the heads of these organizations realize that there was an even more terrifying organization watching them from behind, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

As for who this organization actually is, they don't know either.

Kitahara Natsuhiro: Sorry, it's coming down again!

However, they were unaware of Kitahara Natsuyu's existence, and even less aware that Kitahara Natsuyu was a supernatural being who was half-human and half-ghost.

If they knew about this, they might shift their focus away from the Silver Bullet and instead target a supernatural being like Kitahara Natsuyu.

After all, supernatural beings really exist, while drugs for immortality are not so stable and have too many side effects.

Of course, doing both is the best option.

However, they caught none of them.

So sometimes, greed isn't a good thing.

“But even if you continue your investigation, it will be in vain, because you won’t find any information at all.” Vermouth laughed and then joined the conversation.

At that moment, Kenjiro Wakita seemed to sense something, frowning slightly but quickly relaxing, thinking to himself, "Someone was watching me just now. Could it be Vermouth?"

"No, it shouldn't be her. She shouldn't know what I look like, or even my voice. Could it be that she found out from the one-eyed person?"

Thinking about this, he felt a little regretful.

Because he accidentally revealed that he was a one-eyed being and that he had a prosthetic eye.

This also created a huge vulnerability in himself.

However, this matter was leaked a long time ago, and quite a few people knew about it, including many people within those organizations.

So he was powerless; he couldn't just kill them all!

He simply couldn't do that. If he could, he would be the President of the United States now, instead of serving that old, immortal Rum.

Given the current situation, he can only endure it for now. After everything is over, he will have someone investigate the information of these people from today to see if he can find any breakthrough.

Anyway, the organization doesn't have any important tasks to do recently.

As for the CIA and FBI, he doesn't need to get involved for now; let Gin handle it himself.

He knew Gin's abilities; at most, a few of his own people would die.

However, the organization doesn't have many elite troops left, so it seems we need to get some from the United States.

There was a pretty good young man last time, we could let him give it a try!
