Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 114 Sonoko's Boyfriend Development Plan

Haruhiko Kousaka originally thought that the surprise Sonoko mentioned was a relatively private date.

But when I arrived at the scene, I realized that I seemed to have misunderstood what Yuanzi meant.

The beach in front of me was bustling with activity.

Some people were gathered around the barbecue stove, figuring out how to light the charcoal fire. Some people were bringing tables and chairs from the hotel, and the girls were preparing the food on the prepared table.

Everyone has a happy smile on their face.

The most important thing is that almost all the faces that appeared before him were familiar to his classmates in the Kendo Club.

If it weren't for Kogoro Mori and Jinsaburo Shiratori who were mixed in, Haruhiko would even think that he had walked into the wrong set and arrived at the barbecue party organized by Fujii.

Haruhiko scanned the crowd and easily found Suzuki Sonoko who was cutting potatoes.

Sonoko's movements were a little clumsy, but her facial expression was very serious.

Haruhiko walked over to get some clarification.

He had only taken two steps when Oshimada, holding a barbecue plate, passed by him and bumped him with his shoulder: "Kousaka-senpai, I'm sorry to have cost you money this time."

Spend money?

These incoherent words left Haruhiko completely confused.

Just when I was about to ask for clarification, Oshima had already run away with the baking tray.

He had no choice but to keep going.

"Kousaka-senpai." The male classmate who was moving a chair greeted Haruhiko warmly.

"Kousaka, today is all thanks to you." A peer who was not very familiar with him also took the initiative to talk to him.

"Senior, you look so handsome today." The girl in a sexy swimsuit acted cutely towards him. Haruhiko thought she looked familiar but couldn't remember who she was.

Faced with the extremely enthusiastic classmates, he had no choice but to respond with a smile, then accelerated and came behind Yuanzi.

Yuanzi was still concentrating on cutting potatoes.

Haruhiko looked at her cautious look and suddenly felt a little funny.

At this time, a sea breeze blew, blowing Yuanzi's soft brown short hair into the air, and then gently fell on her white neck.

Yuanzi must have just taken a shower, and her body smelled of shower gel. Not only did she put the hairband back on her head, she also changed into a white dress.

Haruhiko patted Sonoko's soft shoulder and asked, "What's going on? Why are all these people here?"

Sonoko turned around and gave Haruhiko a mysterious smile: "I found it. Are you surprised?"

"You found it?"

Suzuki Sonoko wrinkled her nose and put the knife on the cutting board. "You're so stupid! I told everyone you were treating us to a barbecue tonight, and then thanks to Ran and my popularity, we managed to get all the students from the Kendo Club to come over from Fujii Takashi."

Haruhiko was stunned for a moment, his face turning pale.

How much would it cost to treat so many people to a meal? His firm's sluggish business didn't seem to be able to sustain such a lavish outlay.

"Don't worry, I've already paid for the meal." Sonoko saw Haruhiko's worry, "But tell everyone it's your treat."

Haruhiko: "Why do you do this?"

"Of course it's to win people over. Isn't that the reason why Fujii brought the students from the Kendo Club out to play?"

"But do I need to do this?" Haruhiko scratched his head.

Sonoko puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "How could there not be one? You are so strong in kendo. If you can hold a position in such a large club before going to university, it will be a huge plus in college, both in the club and in the social circle."

Haruhiko didn't expect that Sonoko had thought so far for him, which really surprised him.

However, his life trajectory doesn't seem to be comparable to that of a normal high school student. In addition to having a golden finger, he also provoked a terrifying enemy like the Black Organization.

I'm afraid that following the routine of taking the college entrance examination does not seem to be a better choice.

However, Haruhiko was still touched by Sonoko's kindness.

It is actually very rare for a classmate who is not related by blood to think of him to this extent.

Suzuki Sonoko saw that he was silent and thought that Haruhiko was angry because of her presumptuous decision, so she explained in a low voice: "I... am I being too nosy?

I just think your firm’s business isn’t doing well, so we’ll have to find a way out later…”

"Sonoko-san!" Haruhiko placed his hands on her shoulders and stared into her big eyes seriously.

Sonoko was startled: "Why, why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

Haruhiko said softly, "Thank you."

Yuanzi's face flushed slightly: "I know. Let go of your hand quickly, everyone is looking at us."

Haruhiko looked around and noticed that many of his classmates had stopped what they were doing and looked over at him curiously, but when they caught his eye, they quickly pretended to work again.

Haruhiko quickly released his grip on Sonoko's soft shoulders.

Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief.

Haruhiko asked, "Should I go and mingle with everyone now?"

"Of course, it would be best if everyone said a few words," Sonoko advised Haruhiko.

Haruhiko: "Okay, I will definitely make them mine."

"Don't say such disgusting things." Yuanzi rolled her eyes at him, and suddenly thought of something, "Also...you can't get too close to girls."

Haruhiko asked knowingly, "Why?"

Sonoko blushed slightly and looked down at her toes. "If you get too close to the girls in the club, it will come across as frivolous and will weaken your leadership qualities."

"I see..." Haruhiko stretched out his tone.

"If you don't believe me, forget it!" Yuanzi made a gritted teeth expression.

"Okay, I get it. When you meet a girl, just stop when you're done." Haruhiko made a serious promise, then turned and walked towards Oshima and the others who were studying how the furnace burned.

Sonoko shouted from behind, "Get serious, you bastard!"

Haruhiko waved his hand behind her back.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Haruhiko's back, her blushing face full of fear.

Damn it! Why did this guy suddenly grab my shoulder? He even looked so serious.

I thought he was going to confess in public.

So scared!
However, seeing Haruhiko quickly getting along with his classmates, Suzuki Sonoko showed a satisfied smile.

"You have to grow up quickly, at least to a level that even the Suzuki Group can't ignore." She murmured softly.

...

Meanwhile, Hirata Hiroaki, who was moving tables and chairs, said regretfully, "I thought Kousaka-senpai was going to confess his feelings in public. My expectations were in vain."

"With Sonoko-senpai?" Kurosawa Yuhito said beside him, "But I still think it's better to be with Mori-senpai."

Hirata: "Are you on the side that supports Mori-senpai?"

"Yeah, Senior Maori has big breasts. I heard they can even break concrete poles." Kurosawa said as a matter of course.

"Breaking the concrete pole isn't a bonus, is it?" Hirata said speechlessly.

Kurosawa's eyes widened. "Why not? This will make her chest feel more secure."

"If Maori-senpai heard you say that, she'd probably smash you like a cement pole."

"No way, how could it be such a coincidence?" Kurosawa put the stool in his hand on the beach.

"No, it won't be smashed like a concrete pole." Ran Mouri's voice sounded just behind Kurosawa.

She was holding a box of food in her hands.

"Mori-senpai?" Kurosawa's face turned pale.
"Mr. Kurosawa, do you want to see me break the concrete pole?" Ran Mouri said in a gentle tone.

"No, I don't want to! Senior Maori, I was wrong." Kurosawa knelt down without any image. Fortunately, the ground of the beach was very soft, so apart from being a little embarrassed, there was no other loss.

Mao Lilan sighed: "Forget it, get up quickly."

Kurosawa got up and brushed the sand off his knees: "Mori-senpai is really as kind as an angel."

"Flattery is useless. I'll punish you by making you move boxes." Mao Lilan threw the box in her hand to Kurosawa.

Kurosawa said with a bitter face: "This box is so heavy, Senior..."

Mao Lilan flexed her wrists and smiled gently, "Oh? How about I show you how to break a concrete pole?"

"No need, I'll move right away!"

Kurosawa Yuhito said this and carried the box to the stove as if he was escaping. Hirata also fled the scene.

After the two left, Mao Lilan sighed in her place.

Given her immense popularity in Teitan High School, she was actually used to being talked about and teased behind her back.

As long as the words are not too extreme, she won't care too much.

But just now, when she passed by, she happened to hear people talking about him and Haruhiko, and for some reason she couldn't help but stand up.

At that time, the scene of Haruhiko standing up to others for her and being ridiculed in the elevator, as well as kissing Suzuki Sonoko on the boat kept replaying in her mind, and her heartbeat was much faster than usual.

Afterwards, Mao Lilan blamed herself in her heart.

How could you do this? You promised Shinichi that you would wait for him to come back, so how could you be thinking about such nonsense?

Mao Lilan slapped her cheeks hard, feeling that she was really weak-willed.

She felt deeply guilty for her previous thoughts.

And I decided to punish myself for my lack of determination by eating fewer pieces of barbecue.

...

With everyone's joint efforts, the barbecue party finally started before nightfall.

Haruhiko also took advantage of this preparation process to deepen his relationship with his classmates in the Kendo Club, and because he had the card of treating them to a meal as a pioneer, it was almost effortless to gain this wave of favorability.

Everyone's impression of Haruhiko has changed significantly.

However, Haruhiko did not see Fujii Takashige. He didn't know whether Sonoko did not invite him or he just didn't want to come.

Haruhiko didn't know that Fujii Takashi had fainted in the bathroom from crying.

He carefully planned this trip just to build good relationships with his classmates in the Kendo Club, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by Suzuki Sonoko when he arrived.

Moreover, due to the extremely high popularity of Miss Sonoko and Ran Mori, Fujii Takashi had no choice but to swallow this loss, but he had no interest in eating barbecue.

Since there are so many people in the Kendo Club, it is naturally impossible for them all to gather together to eat barbecue. Instead, they automatically split into small circles and those who have good relationships get together.

Of course, Haruhiko was with Mouri Ran, Sonoko and the others.

Originally, Uncle Mori and Detective Shiratori were there, but they felt that drinking with this group of students was not fun enough, so they went to find some nearby tourists who they could chat with to drink.

So, Haruhiko's side was just him, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and Oshimada, who was close to Haruhiko. Oshimada was clearly a little reserved in front of the two beautiful girls, not at all like the man who once said, "Ran Mouri wears her karate training clothes like it's a sexy outfit."

Haruhiko took the initiative to chat with Oshima and slowly integrated him into this small circle.

Suzuki Sonoko stood in front of the oven, constantly throwing things she thought were delicious to Haruhiko to taste.

"Haruhiko, try this Wagyu beef, it's super tender~"

Haruhiko's mouth dropped open.

Suzuki Sonoko threw the meat into his mouth.

"Haruhiko, try this little octopus, it's super delicious~"

Haruhiko opened his mouth and Suzuki Sonoko lost it.

At this time, Mao Lilan tasted a piece of grilled mushroom and thought it was good, so she said to Sonoko: "This mushroom tastes great too."

Haruhiko opened his mouth out of habit.

Ran Mouri's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air, hesitating whether to feed it to Haruhiko.

Suzuki Sonoko grabbed a raw octopus and threw it into Haruhiko's mouth. Then she pinched his chin and shook it twice, then she opened her mouth wide to Maoli Ran and said, "Ah~~."

Mao Lilan smiled and fed the mushrooms to Sonoko.

Haruhiko had already turned his back and started retching.

Oshima-kun, who was standing by, handed Haruhiko a drink to rinse his mouth and gave him a look that was both sympathetic and envious.

It seems that it is not easy to deal with two super beautiful girls, but given his conditions, he doesn't seem to have to worry about this kind of trouble.

In this way, the barbecue party was carried out lively.

Every once in a while a classmate would come over to Haruhiko to toast him.

They said it was a toast, but in fact they were not old enough to drink, and the cups were filled with only drinks and tea.

However, many people are still keen on this form, which is an early experience of the social way of adults.

A usually serious senior from the Kendo Club came over, patted Haruhiko on the shoulder and said, "You're a good kid. After we leave, you must protect the honor of the Teitan Kendo Club."

Haruhiko nodded seriously.

Then the two of them drank the drinks in the cups in one gulp, looking so heroic as if they were about to rush to the front line of the battlefield.

Then, the girl who looked familiar to Haruhiko came over.

It was already dark at this time, and the orange light from the burning charcoal shone on her body in her sexy swimsuit, temporarily raising her charm to an unprecedented level.

Oshimada was drooling at the sight.

After Oshima's reminder, Haruhiko realized that she was actually Rieko, the girl who usually didn't like to talk much in the kendo club.

Haruhiko really didn't expect that this girl who looked a bit quiet in the kendo club actually had such a bold side.

Rieko picked up the skewer from Haruhiko's side and took a bite. "Thank you for your hospitality, the wagyu beef today is so delicious~"

"If it tastes good, eat more." Haruhiko said with a smile.

"Seniors are so kind." Rieko's big eyes sparkled, "Suzuki-senpai, Mori-senpai, I suddenly want to hug you."

Rieko seemed to be infected by the joyful atmosphere and started joking.

"Ah... ? That depends on Haruhiko's opinion. Why are you asking me?" Mouri Ran showed inexplicable panic.

Suzuki Sonoko is much more natural.

She placed a small octopus on the chopping board, picked up the knife, and began to work. Then, she said with a smile, "I think it's great. Youth should be spent to the fullest. Do whatever you want to do!"

Rieko shrank her neck and didn't dare to move.

She was afraid that Suzuki Sonoko would also indulge in her youth and chop off her head.

Haruhiko then joked, "That won't do. If you carry me like that, I'll become the public enemy of all the boys."

Li Huizi chuckled: "Senior is so funny."

Suzuki Sonoko put the octopus cut in half on the grill, and the juice dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound.

"It's a shooting star, make a wish!"

Suddenly someone nearby shouted.

Haruhiko looked up at the night sky. A bright crescent moon hung in the sky, and a dazzling silver line streaked across the dark night sky.

"Make a wish quickly!" Suzuki Sonoko pushed Haruhiko and reminded him.

Haruhiko closed his eyes subconsciously, and then suddenly froze.

What wish should I make?

If we were to say the biggest trouble he was facing now, it might be the conflict with the Black Organization itself, but Haruhiko always felt that thinking of that group of guys seemed a bit of a downer in this atmosphere.

Haruhiko stole glances at the people around him.

I noticed that Ran Mouri had her hands clasped in front of her chest, and her melancholy eyes must have shown that she was hoping that Shinichi Kudo would come back to her soon.

Before making a wish on the shooting star, Oshimada's gaze stayed on Rieko for quite a while, probably making a wish about love.

Senior Matsumoto who came to say hello earlier sat upright and didn't seem to join the wish-making army. However, judging from the sharp look in his eyes as he held up his teacup and looked up at the sky, it was likely that he had made a wish to achieve good results in the last kendo tournament, right?

It seems that everyone cares about and worries about different things.

However, students at this age don't have such a strong sense of material gain. Most of the things they care about are simple little things, such as whether they will receive a response to a love letter they sent, their test scores, their desire to play the latest video games, and their desire to go home with the girl they like after school.

Haruhiko was unconsciously infected by this atmosphere and said to himself: I hope that the people around me can live happily forever.

The moment he made the wish, the shooting star had disappeared.

But Haruhiko found that Suzuki Sonoko still had her hands raised to her chest, her eyes closed and she kept muttering.

Haruhiko's hearing has been enhanced by the rice cooker and is much better than that of ordinary people.

Even in this noisy environment, one can vaguely hear what Suzuki Sonoko said -

"I hope my parents are healthy, I hope my sister can find a man who loves her, and I hope that Shinichi will confess his love to Xiaolan soon.

I hope Haruhiko's office business picks up soon, and I hope Haruhiko can achieve good results in the kendo tournament...

Eh? Is making two wishes at once too much?

Never mind, let’s add another one.

I hope Haruhiko can understand sooner..."

At this moment, a firework exploded in the night sky.

The fireworks show at the seaside began, and the bright red light illuminated the entire beach.

And the sound made when fireworks explode.

This also prevented Haruhiko from hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said in her last words.

...

The barbecue party lasted until very late.

This also meant that when Haruhiko got up the next day, it was almost noon.

But later he realized that he was actually already very early, and Kogoro Mouri and Shiratori were still in the room and had not come out.

Before Haruhiko could recover from his shock, he received an order from Miss Sonoko—

Help her buy local snacks.

Because Sonoko was going to attend the completion ceremony of the Suzuki Building later, it was equivalent to losing one day of sightseeing time.

This also disrupted the travel plans that had been made before coming to the garden, and we had to shorten the time and change the itinerary.

She was going to Kinomiya Shrine with Xiaolan today, so she changed her original plan of going to Atami to eat famous ramen and buy local limited edition snacks, and instead asked Haruhiko to buy snacks for her.

Haruhiko followed the address provided by Sonoko and arrived near Atami.

It is close to the sea and is surrounded by buildings such as luxury hotels. The streets give people a very clean feeling.

After asking around a bit, I found the dim sum shop with the long line.

Haruhiko thought the queue would be boring, but he didn't expect someone to actively chat with him.

"Handsome guy, do you want to rent a boat and go out to sea together?" The hot girl dressed up beautifully said to Haruhiko.

The other person's clothing style and makeup are standard gyaru style, with thick eyelashes and eye shadow, and the hem of her shirt tied in a knot below her chest muscles, revealing her slender waist with a belly button piercing.

Haruhiko was a little curious why there were always hot girls approaching him.

Could it be that his temperament and dress style somehow appeal to these types of girls?

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend." Haruhiko refused directly.

"So, do you mind having another girlfriend?" The hot girl twisted her fingers around a strand of hair hanging in front of her chest.

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "Excuse me, could you please move aside a moment so as not to delay the people behind you in line?"

The hot girls were blocking the middle of the line, preventing those queuing behind from getting through, but they didn't dare to offend this group of bad girls.

At this time, the fat girl next to the hot girl was unhappy: "Boy, do you know Longzi's identity? Her brother is from the Kondo Group. If you can become her boyfriend, you can walk sideways in school."

The other party obviously mistook him for a local student from Izu.

Haruhiko was about to continue to refuse when he was suddenly attracted by the shouting and cursing coming from a distance.

He looked up.

Suddenly, a group of gangsters armed with sticks and knives appeared at the end of the street.

The yakuza came running towards them, cursing and making their characteristic tongue-clicking sounds, and the one running in the front was actually a delivery man wearing pizza shop clothes and carrying an insulated box on his back.

"Is it because the pizza is not tasty and made the Jidao team leader unhappy?" The uncle waiting in line next to him asked doubtfully.

"Maybe he accidentally overheard the secrets of the yakuza and was ordered to be silenced." Another person speculated.

The customers in the queue all stayed far away, fearing that they would block the way and be in trouble with the gangsters.

But the fat girl and the hot girl were not afraid at all.

"Did you see that? Those are the people from the Kondo Group," the fat girl boasted. "The woman being pursued will definitely be made into a concrete pillar and sunk into Tokyo Bay."

She seemed to think it was a great honor to be associated with this gang of yakuza.

Haruhiko sighed, pointed at the guy who was being chased by the yakuza and said, "See? The one being chased is my girlfriend. I'm going to save her now."

The words fell.

Under the shocked gazes of the hot girls, Haruhiko walked towards Sato Miwako, who was disguised as a pizza delivery girl for some reason.
