Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

"We went to the open-air bath." Xiaolan said.

"Open-air bath? Just you and Kotetsu?"

"correct."

"But the open-air baths are divided into men's and women's."

"What does it matter? There are only me and Xiao Che in the pool anyway. Besides, Xiao Che is still a child."

"Wow, this kid is the one we left at your house in Maori." Ayashiro Noriko came over, squatted in front of Watanabe Toru, rubbed his head, and said with a smile, "He's so cute."

Watanabe Toru greeted them politely: "Hello, uncle and auntie, I am Watanabe Toru, please give me your guidance."

"Wow, so polite."

Watanabe Toru's introduction became more and more popular among adults.

"By the way, I didn't expect Maori to suddenly become a detective." Nakamichi Kazushi pointed at Maori Kogoro, "And he did such a great job. Anyway, as a police officer, I don't have the ability to do that."

"Yes, he's a famous detective now."

"It's been in the newspapers several times."

"Hahaha, it's okay." Kogoro Mouri, who was praised by everyone, immediately became elated. He waved his hands modestly and laughed out loud with his head raised.

"By the way, I brought some photos of us from college. Do you want to see them?" Noriko Ayaki took out the photo album she had brought specially.

"Of course." Everyone came together.

"Ah! This was taken when we won the Kyoto tournament, right?" Horikoshi Yumi pointed to the first photo in the album.

"Yeah, yeah, everyone was still very young back then, right?"

"Come to think of it, Kazushi and Yumi were already dating at that time, right?" Kogoro Mouri pointed at the two people in the middle of the photo.

Horikoshi Yumi and Nakamichi Kazushi, who were named, were stunned.

"Yeah." Ayashiro Yukio laughed, "Yumi was the Madonna of the judo club back then. After she started dating Shika, both of them were very sad, right, Jun?"

This caused dissatisfaction in Ayashiro Noriko. She pulled her husband's ear and said, "Don't forget, you are my husband now."

"Yes, yes, yes." Ayashiro Yukio begged for mercy quickly.

Maori Kogoro looked at Nakamichi Kazushi and asked, "So, do you two have it now?"

"Of course not. I broke up with this guy a long time ago." Horikoshi Yumi slapped Nakamichi Kazushi on the shoulder and winked at him: "I heard that Kazushi has someone to marry now."

· ········Request flowers·· ·········

"Oh? Really, Shiwa?" Kogoro Mouri looked surprised.

A visible blush appeared on Nakamichi Kazushi's somewhat rough face. "I wanted to tell you in a more formal setting. I think I will be getting married this year."

Everyone was gossiping: "Who is he getting married to?"

Zhongdao Hezhi scratched his head and said, "She's my boss's daughter. We met through a blind date. I'll introduce her to you next time I have the chance."

Horikoshi Yumi looked melancholy. "Now it seems that Madonna is already an old lady. And with the economic downturn, I might even be fired. Sometimes I think I really don't want to live anymore."

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet because of Horikoshi Yumi's words.

... ...... 0

Seeing everyone looking at her, Horikoshi Yumi came back to her senses, smiled, and said, "Oh, I was just joking. Why do you look so serious?"

After hearing her say that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ayashiro Noriko said angrily: "Really, don't be so scary, okay Yumi."

Horikoshi Yumi shrugged and looked at Omura Jun beside her: "But now, Jun and I are the only two singles left. I think we should just get together."

Omura Jun was stunned for a moment, and just as a blush of helplessness appeared on his face, Horikoshi Yumi slapped him on the shoulder: "Silly, I was just joking, why did you take it seriously?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere became lively again.

"By the way, why don't we go play billiard?" Nakamichi Kazushi suggested, "Working up a sweat and then taking a bath is the most relaxing thing."

"Good idea." Maori Kogoro agreed: "It's been a long time since I played table tennis."

Unlike the enthusiasm of others, Horikoshi Yumi's face immediately became gloomy after hearing this.

"I won't fight!" she said with a sullen face, "I suddenly feel very tired and want to go back to my room to rest."

"Yumi..." Noriko Ayashiro watched Horikoshi Yumi walking upstairs with concern.

Maori Kogoro sighed: "This guy is still as stubborn as before."

140. Difficult Woman

Omura Jun said helplessly: "Maybe she doesn't want to listen to the rumors. After all, her boyfriend back then is getting married soon."

"Oh, please keep your voice down. But... they broke up peacefully, right?" Ayashiro Noriko quietly asked her husband beside her.

Ayashiro Yukio shook his head: "I don't know either. After all, we haven't been in touch much since graduation."

Unlike others who were worried or just watching the fun, Kogoro Mouri seemed very carefree.

He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. That woman has been like this since college. It will be fine after a while."

"That's right," Omura Junya said, "maybe leaving her alone for a while will help. Let's go play table tennis first."

……

As soon as he entered the billiard room, Maori Kogoro took a paddle and challenged: "Then 'Six Nine Zero', who will be the first opponent I, Maori Kogoro, will defeat?"

"You're so arrogant! Then let me be your opponent." Ayashiro Yukio walked over to Maori Kogoro and said, "I won't show any mercy, Maori. I'll beat you as badly as in your judo match."

Nakamichi and Zhi sat down nearby and laughed heartily when they heard this: "That's really Maori's dark history."

Xiaolan couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Zhongdao, is my dad's game so bad?"

"Haha, because I've never won."

"What about Uncle Nakamichi? Has he ever won an individual championship in a national competition?"

"Yes," Nakamichi Kazushi said with emotion, "I got it when I was in my third year of university, and that was the only time I got it."

"So Uncle Nakamichi is the strongest person in the judo club?"

"No." Nakamichi Kazushi smiled and shook his head. "At that time, there was another person who was better than me. His level was even higher than mine, but I don't know why, I couldn't win every time I competed, hahahaha..."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned: "There are people like this."

"Yes, you also know this person, Xiaolan." Nakamichi Kazushi said with a smile: "And he is here today too."

"Wow...so the most powerful person is one of you?" Xiaolan exclaimed, her eyes scanning every face in the room.

When she saw Kogoro Mouri, she jumped over quickly and passed him directly.

At this moment, Watanabe Toru suddenly said: "The person that Uncle Nakamichi was talking about must be Uncle Maori."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned, then shook her head and said, "That's impossible, Xiaoche. Dad has never won a competition."

"But didn't Uncle Nakamichi say that that person can never win in every competition? Isn't that what he said about you?" Watanabe Toru looked at Nakamichi Kazushi: "Uncle Nakamichi, am I right?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Nakamichi Kazushi laughed and said, "Little friend, you are right. The only person I have never defeated is Maori."

Xiaolan opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of disbelief.

She glanced at her father who was screaming in pain after being beaten by Yukio Ayashiro on the billiard table. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that he didn't look like the person Nakamichi Kazushi was talking about.

……

It was six o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiaolan reminded him, "Dad, don't we still have to watch the fireworks? Will we be too late?"

Ayashiro Noriko looked up at the clock and said, "Oh no! It's already this late! We need to hurry up, otherwise the fireworks show will be packed."

"Then let's go quickly."

"Leave the rackets to me," Nakamichi Kazushi said. "I'll sort them out and return them. You guys go ahead and take your seats."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, Zhongdao."

……

When leaving the hotel, Xiaolan suddenly thought of something and stopped and said, "Oh no, I forgot to wake up Aunt Yumei."

"Let's just leave her alone." Maori Kogoro said anxiously, "The fireworks display is about to start, and besides, someone will wake her up."

Xiaolan was worried: "What if everyone forgets? I think I should go back and call her."

After saying that, he turned around and ran back.

Watanabe Toru sighed lightly and followed: "Sister Xiaolan, I'll go with you."

When they returned to the hotel, they were both out of breath.

There was a whoosh sound in their ears, and Watanabe Toru and Xiaolan turned around. In the sky behind them, gorgeous fireworks bloomed.

"The fireworks display has already started, Xiao Che, we have to wake up Aunt Yumi quickly..." Xiaolan said.

Watanabe Toru nodded.

Ran to the second floor, the two came to Horino Yumi's room, Xiaolan knocked on the door and said: "Aunt Yumi, the fireworks display has already started, Aunt Yumi..."

No one answered in the room.

"Strange, is Aunt Yumi still asleep?"

Xiaolan held the door handle and was about to open the door and go in when a voice came from the stairs: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Xiaolan and Xiaoche."

"Uncle Nakamichi?" Xiaolan looked at Nakamichi Kazushi, who was walking towards them with a towel hanging around his neck, and asked curiously, "You're still here?"

"I worked up a sweat playing table tennis, so I went to take a shower." Nakamichi Kazushi wiped his neck with a towel. "You guys want to call Yumi, right? I advise you not to do that, because Yumi hates being called the most."

"Is that so... But then Aunt Yumi won't be able to see the fireworks display." Xiaolan looked regretful.

The three of them returned downstairs and saw that Lingcheng and his wife were still in the hotel.

Nakamichi and Zhi were stunned: "Why are you two still here?"

Ayashiro Yukio was also surprised when he saw the three of them. He asked, "Didn't you guys leave a long time ago?"

……

The five of them left the hotel together.

"So you went to take a shower after getting 2.9," Ayashiro Yukio said with a smile, "to wash off the sweat, right?"

"Yeah, but I'm different from you guys. I went to Dayu Pond to wash." Nakamichi Kazushi touched his bald head and said, "After all, it's too uncomfortable to watch the fireworks while sweating."

In the night sky, accompanied by the sound of whooshing, clusters of flaming arrows rushed into the sky. When they reached a certain height, they suddenly exploded and turned into garlands of various colors. Then, colorful fireworks fell from the night sky like a waterfall.

Noriko Ayashiro looked at Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, it was the right choice for you not to wake Yumi up. She hates being woken up the most, but..."

She paused, smiled, and said, "If I don't wake her up, she'll still be angry."

141. Suicide?

After watching the fireworks, everyone returned to the hotel.

Maori Kogoro sulked, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "I finally occupied a position with a good view, but in the end none of you came over."

"Because there are just too many people." Ayashiro Yukio scratched his head apologetically. "Okay, Mori, don't be angry. Forget about this. Let's have a drink together later."

"By the way, isn't Aunt Yumi up yet?"

Xiaolan's words reminded Ayashiro Noriko: "Oh, Yumi has slept for so long, it's time to get up."

Nakamichi Kazushi speculated, "Is she being upset again? It's our fault we didn't wake her up to watch the fireworks."

Maori Kogoro frowned: "What a willful woman."

"She's the Madonna of our judo club," Nakamichi Kazushi said with a smile. "I think we should all go and call her. With so many people around, even if Yumi gets angry, she won't know who to vent her anger on."

"Good idea."17

Everyone agreed and went to Horikoshi Yumi's room together.
