Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 365 Suzuki Shiro's Blind Date

“It looks fine on the outside,” Reiko retorted, pouting as she tapped restlessly on the glass railing with her fingers.

Seeing her brother's displeasure, she mischievously stuck out her tongue and quickly took two steps back obediently.

Chengshi cautiously leaned half her body out, her little hands gripping the edge of the railing tightly.

When he caught a glimpse of the terrifying sight of waves crashing against the rocks dozens of meters below, he immediately recoiled as if he had been electrocuted.

"very scary……"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Even if you fall in, you should be fine," Furuya Rei reassured his friend. "It only looks like it's about 20 or 30 meters away, and it's just seawater below. As long as you can swim, there won't be any danger."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Lin Xiuyi tapped his apprentice on the head.

"People with diving experience may be fine if they fall in, but ordinary people who don't know how to enter the water can easily lose consciousness due to the impact and then drown."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone to make sure they were all listening.

“According to the guide map, a lighthouse is going to be built here,” Eri Kisaki said, flipping through the map in her hand. “A viewing platform will also be built on the lighthouse, and the view will definitely be better than it is now.”

“It’s a pity we came at the wrong time,” Tomizawa Chikage sighed softly, tucking her long, loose hair behind her ear. “They say that if you stand here at dusk, you can see the spectacular sight of the sunset and Mount Fuji forming the ‘Diamond Fuji’.”

Her gaze into the distance held a hint of longing, but her tone betrayed her disappointment: "We won't be able to see it today."

After chatting for a few minutes, everyone dispersed to do their own thing.

Yukiko struck various adorable poses for Reiko to take pictures of her, her cheerful laughter ringing out crisply in the sea breeze.

Chikage Tomizawa stood by the railing, quietly admiring the sea view. The sea breeze blew through her long hair, and the scene was as beautiful as an oil painting.

Midori Orikasa and Akane Koizumi were huddled together, talking about something.

Kogoro Mouri and Ruri held hands and nestled intimately in a corner of the observation deck.

Ruri rested her head on Mori's shoulder, a satisfied smile on her face.

Kogoro Mouri would occasionally lean down and whisper something in her ear, making her chuckle softly.

When Eri saw her friend's happy expression and then looked at Hayashi Hideaki beside her, her heart started racing.

She quietly raised her arm, intending to put her arm around Lin Xiuyi's arm, just like Ruri and Kogoro Mouri.

Unexpectedly, Yukiko waved her arms and shouted, "Shuichi, come and take a picture for us!"

Lin Xiuyi stepped over, completely unaware of Fei Yingli's arm frozen in mid-air and her face instantly darkening.

"You stinky fox!" Eri gritted her teeth inwardly, her nails unconsciously digging into her palms.

Lin Xiuyi took the camera and, through the viewfinder, saw Yukiko affectionately putting her arm around Reiko's shoulder, the two girls smiling brightly.

He pressed the shutter, capturing this beautiful moment.

"Narima, come and film with us too!"

Yukiko suddenly ran over and grabbed Narumi's hand without saying a word.

The little guy was suddenly pulled in front of the camera, looking panicked like a frightened little rabbit.

"I...I won't..."

Narumi stammered, trying to refuse.

"Smile!" Yukiko pinched Shigeaki's cheek. "It would be such a waste not to take pictures of such a pretty face!"

Chengshi's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and she stood there helplessly.

Lin Xiuyi shook his head helplessly as he watched this scene, but still pressed the shutter to record this interesting moment.

"Shuichi, it's our turn!" Yukiko tossed the camera to Reiko, then grabbed Hayashi Shuichi's arm without a word, pressing her body close to him, and had the little girl take pictures of the two of them.

"I also want!"

Reiko looked around, handed the camera directly to Tomizawa Chikage, and then put her arm around Hayashi Hideichi's other arm.

“Hey,” Yukiko puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, “let me take a picture with Shuichi first.”

She secretly exerted force on her hand, trying to pull Lin Xiuyi towards her.

"Why can't I go first with Onii-chan!" Reiko retorted, clinging tightly to her brother's arm.

Feeling the pull from both sides and catching a glimpse of Eri Kisaki's menacing gaze, Lin Xiuyi quickly raised his hands in surrender: "How about we all take a group photo?"

"Ugh?"

Yukiko and Reiko both sighed in disappointment, their shoulders slumping simultaneously.

They glanced at each other, then simultaneously turned their faces away, like two children having a tiff.

At Lin Xiuyi's invitation, the group of eleven stood together, ready to take a group photo.

Everyone jostled and pushed each other to find the best spot, laughter and complaints mingling together.

However, the question arose about who would take the photos, since Yukiko hadn't brought a tripod since they were just out having fun.

"Let me help you," the bespectacled young man from the Suzuki family said, seeing the situation.

"Thank you," Lin Xiu nodded and handed over the camera.

"Alright, everyone look this way," the bespectacled young man called out, raising his camera and pointing it at the crowd.

"Cheese—" everyone shouted in unison.

Just then, a huge wave crashed against the cliff, creating a massive spray of water.

The splashing water formed tiny rainbows in the sunlight, right behind everyone.

This unexpected beautiful scene was perfectly captured on camera.

"Looks like I took a pretty good photo," the bespectacled young man remarked as he put down his camera.

Unfortunately, these are film cameras, so you can't immediately view the photos you've taken.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to help, the two sides naturally started chatting.

Lin Xiuyi quickly learned that the gentle and refined young man with glasses was named Suzuki Shiro, and that they were all members of the University of Tokyo tennis club.

Shiro Suzuki is the oldest and has already graduated from the University of Tokyo. This time, he's just bringing his juniors out to have some fun.

"The reason is probably not that simple, is it?"

Kogoro Mouri winked mischievously and lowered his voice,

"You, young master of the Suzuki conglomerate, wouldn't happen to be pursuing that arrogant young lady, would you?"

He gestured towards Tomoko's direction with his lip.

Shiro Suzuki's ears instantly turned red, and his gaze behind his glasses flickered uncertainly.
“Tomoko just seems arrogant…” His voice trailed off, “but her personality is actually quite good.”

"Is that so?" Kogoro Mouri glanced at Tomoko, who was enjoying the view with her friends not far away, but she noticed and glared at him with annoyance. "I don't see how good her personality is."

“This…” Suzuki Shiro shook his head with a wry smile, “Actually, I’m not very familiar with her. I only met her once before when we went on a blind date.”

"No way," Kogoro Mouri exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "Aren't you the young master of the Suzuki family? Your family is so rich, why would you go on arranged marriages?"

“Blind dates have nothing to do with whether you have money or not,” Suzuki Shiro said helplessly, pushing up his glasses. “On the contrary, because of my family, I have no say in my marriage; it’s all decided by my elders…”
