Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 528 Akiko Yonehara: I missed you, today we're locked in a life-or-death struggle!

Nine p.m.

Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group enjoyed a hearty meal at the restaurant.

At this time, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Sera Masumi, Koizumi Akako, Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Professor Agasa had already gone back.

After all, they have to go to school tomorrow and can't stay here any longer, and their parents will worry if they go home too late.

Most importantly, since the adults at Kitahara Natsuyu's table were all drinking, the children naturally had to go home.

Furthermore, Genta was extremely greedy and wanted to try the strange drinks they were drinking, but Kitahara Natsuyu stopped him and sent him back to copy the school rules of Teitan Elementary School.

Since you're so disobedient, then I'll make you study hard!
And so, Yuan Tai completely gave up, his spirits completely drained.

Conan, on the other hand, just grinned.

After all, how could he be the only one to copy the Teitan Elementary School rules? Genta should also give it a try.

Furthermore, Conan has a very dark side, and even wants Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and even the whole class and the whole school to copy it together.

That's fair!

Of course, he couldn't say this out loud unless he wanted to get beaten up.

Even so, he was still very happy.

However, in the movie, Genta is just like that, wanting to try everything. After seeing the water bottle that Akiba Reiko was carrying, he wanted to try what kind of tea was brewed in it, and in the end, he actually succeeded.

However, because of this incident, Genta's voice was temporarily lost due to the irritating drugs in the water, which indirectly helped Akiba Reiko and prevented her from losing her voice.

Otherwise, the Domoto Concert Hall would have been destroyed by the explosion, and all the audience members inside would have been buried.

In a sense, Yuan Tai was also a savior.

However, this time, there was no need for Genta, the gluttonous savior, to appear. So Kitahara Natsuyu simply dismissed Genta and sent him home to copy the school rules of Teitan Elementary School.

After Genta and the others left, the store immediately became quiet.

It has to be said that first grade is a particularly annoying age.

Sometimes it's not just Genta who's annoying; Mitsuhiko and Ayumi are the same.

So, it's really relaxing when there are no kids around!

But the happy time was short-lived. Not long after Conan and his friends left, Kitahara Natsuhiro and his friends also finished their dinner.

Now it's time for them to go home.

Ai Haibara went home with Akemi Miyano, Vermouth was going somewhere else today, and Azusa Enomoto was going with Tooru Amuro.

Kenjiro Wakita went back alone.

So now only Akiko Yonehara, Reiko Akiba, Kanade Kawabe, and Natsuhiro Kitahara remain.

Soon, Ai and the others had already left, leaving only Kitahara Natsuhiro and the other three at the shop entrance.

"Souko, you must have driven here today. Now that you've had some drinks, why don't you not drive?" Akita Reiko said.

She hadn't been drinking, so her skin was still as fair and smooth as usual.

But Kawabe Kanade was different; she had been drinking, quite a bit, and her face was flushed, but she was still sober.

It's clear that Kawabe Kanade has a really good alcohol tolerance, but she also restrains herself very well.

Although she wasn't a soprano, she was a violinist, and her hands were her most important asset, so she couldn't drink too much alcohol.

Drinking too much alcohol can damage your nerves, and it would be troublesome if your hands suddenly started shaking while playing the violin.

Therefore, Kawabe Kanade is very restrained when drinking, and usually doesn't drink at all.

Today, I was feeling down, and with so many people around, I just wanted to have a drink.

"Driving?" Kawabe Kanako shook her head: "I did drive here, but I parked the car at the Domoto Concert Hall. Then the Metropolitan Police Department officers pulled me here, and I ended up coming here to eat with you guys."

"So my car is still at the Domoto Concert Hall."

"Oh, I see," Akiba Reiko finally realized.

"Yes, so I need to call a taxi to go back later, but it's so late at night, I'm a little scared to take a taxi alone," Kawabe Kanade said pitifully.

Her appearance, coupled with her pitiful expression, is indeed very endearing.

But Akiba Reiko wouldn't fall for it, after all, she and Kawabe Kanade were good friends, and it was Kawabe Kanade who suggested that she perform at this concert at the Domoto Concert Hall.

Damn it, my teacher and the school I graduated from didn't even think of me when they held a concert, and instead had Kawabe Kanade, an outsider, promote it.

It seems I'm not valued by the Domoto Music Academy!
*Sobbing*
"Alright, alright." Akiba Reiko rolled her eyes, a rare occurrence for her. "You're coming home with me today. Stay at my place for one night, and then go back tomorrow."

“I’m not comfortable with you going back alone, especially since you’ve been drinking. It would be troublesome if you fell on the way.”

"Hey hey hey"

Kawabe Kanade laughed, then moved closer to Akiba Reiko, taking her arm and letting her arm be enveloped by her cleavage.

"I knew you were the best, so I'll join you today."

"I remember the last time we slept in the same bed was when we worked together," Kawabe Kanade said, starting to reminisce.

The competition in the Japanese music scene is quite fierce, even for them.

Therefore, it's not an easy thing for the two to perform together.

“Yes.” Akiba Reiko couldn’t help but show a nostalgic look: “I remember this was two years ago.”

"Our performance was a great success, and the audience applauded."

"That means two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we're starting to get older."

Halfway through her sentence, Kawabe Kanade suddenly covered her mouth.

"Honestly, why bring this up at a time like this? Besides, I'm not old, I'm still very young!"

Women are very concerned about their age; no matter what kind of woman she is, she will care about it.

Not to mention a successful woman like Kawabe Kanade.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back and rest." Kawabe Kanade smiled and looked at Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko: "Thank you so much for your help today, but I'll need your help again next time."

She already knew about Kitahara Natsuhiro's relationship with Yonehara Akiko while they were eating, and she also knew that Akiba Reiko's neighbor was Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Furthermore, apart from him, the only other man on the floor where Kitahara Natsuhiro was located was a girl.

Of course, this has nothing to do with her; it's just something she was thinking about casually.

“What’s the trouble? I’m neighbors and friends with Akiba Reiko, and you’re Reiko’s friend, so you’re also my friend. We even had a meal together, so we’re good friends now, don’t you think?” Kitahara Natsuyu blinked and smiled. Kawabe Kanade smiled as well, “That’s right, we’re friends from now on.”

"Next time I bring other friends here for dinner, you'll have to give me a discount, okay?"

“A discount? Of course, no problem. But do you, a renowned violinist, need a discount from me?” Kitahara Natsuhiro joked.

"Of course I want to. Don't be fooled by how much money I make; I spend a lot too." Kawabe Kanade couldn't help but complain, "Plus, the competition is fierce these days. I'm really afraid that one day I'll be forgotten, and then I won't be able to earn money with my own hands anymore."

"So every little bit saved counts, in preparation for retirement!"

Upon hearing this, Akiko Yonehara gave a thumbs up: "Kawabe Kanade-san is amazing. I usually spend money extravagantly and can't save any money at all."

In reality, Akiko Yonehara wasn't a big spender; it's just that teachers' salaries aren't very high, and with daily expenses, she really couldn't save much money at the end of the year.

However, she no longer needs to save money, since with Kitahara Natsuyu around, she has no fear of running out of money.

Of course, she wouldn't ask Kitahara Natsuyu for money casually; she had enough money of her own right now.

"Sigh, I made this choice after seeing how many of my colleagues ended up like this," Kawabe Kanade sighed. "The turnover rate in our industry is very fast."

"Therefore, we need to think about the rest of our lives."

"Sorry, I've rambled on again."

“That’s not just idle talk,” Akiko Yonehara said. “Your words are very useful.”

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled, and then the four of them headed towards the location of the Mihua Apartment.

The four of them chatted and laughed along the way.

"By the way, Kanade, did you save all the money or invest it?" Akiba Reiko suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Kawabe Kanade said, "Of course I'll save it. I can't earn money other than violins. If I invest this money, it will definitely go down the drain, and I might even get scammed."

“I’ve seen this kind of thing happen several times, and they’re all friends of mine.”

Their line of work is quite lucrative; they can earn millions or even tens of millions from a single performance, and the more famous they are, the more they earn.

In addition to these, there are endorsements, but they are all for musical instruments.

This makes their lives quite enjoyable.

However, in such situations, they become targets and are tricked into investing in stocks or similar things. As a result, they are often ripped off and end up homeless, with some even contemplating suicide.

So she deposited all her money in Suzuki Bank.

Suzuki Bank is a private bank and a bank under the Suzuki zaibatsu (family-owned conglomerate).

These behemoths are basically safe to store because they don't have to worry about going bankrupt.

And that's exactly how the Suzuki conglomerate is; there's absolutely no need to worry about it going bankrupt.

After all, in the theatrical version, the location of each explosion is more or less related to the Suzuki Zaibatsu.

Even so, the Suzuki zaibatsu has remained steadfast and has consistently held the top spot in Japan.

In terms of money, the Suzuki Zaibatsu is indeed number one, but overall, the Ooka Zaibatsu is number one.

"But speaking of which, the person today was actually the second young lady of the Suzuki family. She doesn't look like her at all!" Kawabe Kanade sighed as she recalled Sonoko's appearance.

Sonoko Suzuki was completely different from the chaebol heiresses she had imagined; she was far too kind and unlike any other heiresses she had ever met.

The young ladies she had met were all very arrogant and looked down on people.

Compared to Sonoko, this young lady, there is absolutely no comparison.

The garden wins hands down!

If she were to perform for wealthy families in the future, it would be wonderful if all the young ladies of those families were like this.

Unfortunately, there are very few young ladies with such good upbringing.

The vast majority of them look down on people; there are quite a few like that in Detective Conan.

However, most of them did not have a good ending.

After all, daring to look Conan down your nose is courting death.

“Right?” Akiko Yonehara said, “Sonoko is just like this. She’s always been like this since she was little. She doesn’t have that spoiled feeling at all.”

"From childhood? You've known Sonoko for a very long time?"

“I used to be their teacher, but then I went to another school,” Akiko Yonehara said.

"So this is ah."

"But speaking of which, Miss Momiji from the Ooka Zaibatsu family is also very nice," Akiko Yonehara added.

"Ms. Ooka Momiji?"

"Yes, do you know Miss Hongye too?"

“Yes, I know her. I once played the violin at the Ooka family’s house to celebrate Ms. Momiji’s birthday,” said Kawabe Kanade.

She not only performs in various places, but also provides accompaniment for birthday parties of wealthy families.

Making money is not shameful.

However, Akiba Reiko didn't have as many opportunities, after all, she was a soprano!
"I see." Akiko Yonehara nodded, and then began to explain to Kanade Kawabe how they met.

soon
The four of them arrived at Mihua Apartment and then went to the stairwell where they lived.

"Sigh, this apartment looks pretty nice." Kawabe Kanade stood at the front door of Akiba Reiko's house and glanced inside.

"The houses and environment here are quite nice, so I plan to stay here and not go back over there."

She has houses elsewhere, but she came here to avoid Pu and Jiang.

Although the matter has been resolved, that place has become a place of sorrow, so it's best not to go back.

“Okay.” Kawabe Kanade nodded, then greeted Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko, who were standing nearby, “Then we’ll go back and rest first.”

"Well, go to bed early."

"it is good."

Immediately, both doors made a sound.

Upon entering, Kitahara Natsuhiro took out slippers for Yonehara Akiko to change into, and then...
Akiko Yonehara jumped directly onto Natsuhiro Kitahara's back, her breath sweet as orchids, and said, "I missed you."
