The boy soldier next to the famous detective

Even the usually composed Shiro Suzuki couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea upon hearing this news.

After hearing the whole story from Sonoko Suzuki, Shiro Suzuki reacted decisively.

"Alright, I'm off now!"

They stormed straight to the Gunfire Club, where Sonoko Suzuki bumped right into Junichi Morimoto, who was preparing to contact a professional event management company to set up the venue.

Junichi Morimoto was quite knowledgeable; upon seeing the second young lady of the Suzuki family appear, he knew that aside from providing a venue, he wouldn't have much else to do.

Oh, I can still take charge of the games at the banquet. After all, most people don't know how to arrange the wargame. Luckily, there's something I can do to help.

As soon as school was over in the afternoon, Ran Mouri took a taxi directly to the club and waited with her for Jonathan to arrive.

"Okay, Jonah, come here quickly. Sonoko-neechan, I'm so angry. You didn't tell me about such an important thing as your birthday right away. Let me bully you a bit, otherwise I won't feel satisfied."

Seeing Jonah appear with his backpack, Sonoko Suzuki smiled mischievously and waved to him. After Jonah walked up to her, she squatted down and pinched his cheek.

"Tell me, what are you planning to get? Think of anything, as long as it's something you want, I can get it for you."

Having already obtained authorization from Shiro Suzuki, Sonoko Suzuki is very generous; she doesn't believe that the Suzuki Group can't get what Jonah wants!

Sonoko Suzuki was ready to make a big splash, but after discussing her ideas with Jonah, she nodded somewhat disappointedly.

Clearly, Sonoko Suzuki thought Jonah's idea was too simple. If Sonoko Suzuki had the idea, she could have made Jonah's first birthday party one of the most luxurious parties in Tokyo, no, in all of Japan.

Unfortunately, Jonah's only idea was to invite his close friends and family to play together, which forced Sonoko Suzuki to abandon many of her extravagant ideas.

"No problem, leave these things to me. Jonah, you just need to look forward to the four days. You don't need to worry about anything else."

However, since it was Jonah's birthday, Sonoko Suzuki naturally knew that everything should be arranged according to Jonah's wishes.

In this way, Jonah discovered that even though it was his birthday, he was the one with the most free time.

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri would go to the club every day after school to oversee the setup and renovation. Of course, the Suzuki Group's renovation team was too professional, so they couldn't do much. They just made some requests regarding certain details based on their understanding of Jonah.

Ai Haibara, on the other hand, teamed up with the three little ones, including Conan Edogawa, to plan how to bake a super giant cake for Jonah, with three layers, each made up of different fruits, chocolates, nuts, and the like.

Time flew by and the day of the birthday party arrived. Jonah got up early, only to find that he was the last person in the detective agency to get up.

Good morning, Jonah, happy birthday!

Ran Mouri, who had already prepared breakfast, came out smiling, her eyes filled with joy and emotion, and gently reached out to touch Jonah's hair.

Although Conan Edogawa was yawning, he happily brought Jonah breakfast.

After breakfast, Jonah rode in the luxury car that Kogoro Mouri had specially rented, and headed directly to the Gunfire Club.

The people invited to the banquet today are all Jonah's close friends and relatives.

The Mori family, Dr. Agasa, the detective club members, the Suzuki family, Makoto Kyogoku, the Kudo family, Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama who rushed from Osaka after receiving the news, and Sera Masumi were also invited. Ryuichi Shiraishi also came in casual clothes. The Metropolitan Police Department also sent Miwako Sato (a spot she had snatched) to attend the banquet.

The food at the venue was all prepared by the Suzuki family, and it was all Jonah's favorite dishes. The taste and color were absolutely perfect.

The cake was baked by Ai Haibara and her team; it was very exquisite and clearly took a lot of effort.

Everyone had prepared gifts for Jonah. Looking at the pile of gifts that was taller than himself, Jonah felt extremely happy and overjoyed from the moment he opened his eyes that day.

It seems that celebrating your own birthday is indeed different from attending someone else's birthday party!

After eating and drinking their fill, Jonah excitedly led everyone to the club's battle arena, where they split into several groups and began a chaotic free-for-all.

No one refused Jonah's invitation, nor did they take it seriously; they simply played around in the field.

Sonoko Suzuki, along with Tomoko Suzuki and Ayako Suzuki, "chases" Shiro Suzuki, while Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri "shoot" Kogoro Mouri. Makoto Kyogoku, who is not good with firearms, is chased by the three little ones.

At first, Shiraishi Ryuichi wanted to have a serious match with Jonah, but after being decisively defeated 6-0 by Jonah in 5 minutes, he gave up on the match and joined the Super Smash Bros. battle.

The banquet ended around 6 p.m. Suzuki Shiro provided transportation for everyone who hadn't driven. Jonah stood at the door, happily seeing off each and every one of the banquet attendees.

"Jonah, aren't you coming back with us today?"

"Yes, I want to go to the professor's house to play."

"Okay then, don't stay out too late."

With a smile and a nod, Ran Mouri waved to Jonah and left the banquet venue with Kogoro Mouri.

"Then we'll head back too, Jonah. Don't you need me to take you there?"

Sitting in his Beetle, Professor Agasa looked at Jonah with a smile, knowing that going to his house was just an excuse Jonah had made up.

"No need, they're here to pick me up."

Shaking his head, Jonah waved to Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara, who were covering for him, and after watching Professor Agasa leave, he ran briskly towards a nearby alley.

Good evening, Jonah! Did you have fun today?

A car was parked in the alley, and as Jonah ran over, it started the engine and turned on the headlights.

Seeing Jonah get into the car, Curaçao smiled gently and handed Jonah a cup of milk tea.

"Yes, I'm very happy! Everyone has been waiting for a long time, right?"

"It's alright, we're all very free, waiting a little longer won't hurt. Jonah just needs to have fun today."

Smiling and shaking his head, Curaçao started the car and drove Jonah toward the safe house.

The team members couldn't easily attend the daytime banquet, but Jonah at night was theirs to enjoy.

The moment Jonah entered the safe house, he was sprayed with confetti and sequins, and he almost pulled out his baton to smash Dave and Kaito Kuroba, who were lying in ambush, to the ground.

"Our little birthday star is here today! Everyone, cheer!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

Happy Birthday, Jonathan!
