Create a fantasy paradise starting from Conan

However, after straightening my chest and raising my head, I felt a tightness in my chest and smiled unconsciously:

"We should really let Yukiko come over. She's actually quite good at this kind of situation."

However, when she said to ask Yukiko to come over, she didn't really mean to ask Yukiko to come over.

Instead, he disguised himself as Yukiko.

The reason why I had to come here and participate in this not-at-all-important exhibition was actually to give "White Curtain" an identity.

As someone who has been through this, she actually understands the dilemma of arousing suspicion from others because of the mismatch between age and physical condition.

During the time when Sharon and Chrissy existed at the same time, she actually preferred to appear in her original appearance rather than wearing old makeup.

After entering the venue, Mao Lilan and Sonoko and others, who had arrived quite early, also hurried to greet them.

"Miki, you guys are here. Wow... you look so pretty in this outfit, so cute!"

Sonoko looked at Miki with burning eyes. At that moment, she was wearing a white dress, a sparkling sapphire necklace around her neck, and two cross-shaped emerald gemstones as earrings.

The hairpin on her pink hair is also in the style of a crown inlaid with gold and jade. At first glance, she looks like a little princess who has walked out of a fairy tale, and her whole body is shining.

Even though Yuanzi has never been interested in jewelry such as necklaces and earrings, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Oh no, I'm completely outdone by you. I should have dressed up a little today."

Seeing that Sonoko was still wearing the headband as usual, almost the same as usual, except that she had changed her school uniform into a party dress, Miki couldn't help but smile.

"I thought Sonoko would let her hair down. She would definitely look prettier that way."

"I was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking it over carefully, I decided I couldn't steal my sister's limelight."

Sonoko paused, looked around, put her hand in front of her lips to cover her mouth, and added softly:

"Otherwise, it would be terrible if someone noticed it."

"That seems to be the case..."

"Miki's outfit is so cute, just like a little princess in a story."

Miki's expression froze, and her face became somewhat stiff.

Three years ago, when she was summoned to another world and was in the Demon King's lair, she was always called the little princess.

"No, don't dwell on it! Those bad memories are already in the past. Seal! Seal everything!"

While the two were chatting, Kisaki Eri, who was following behind Ran Mouri, naturally greeted "Fujimine Baku".

"Mr. Fujimine, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see, Eri."

Vermouth responded with a smile, and noticing that she looked at the white curtain with a bit of doubt, she took the initiative to introduce:

"This is my nephew Bai Mu. My eldest brother was in a car accident not long ago, and he and his wife passed away unexpectedly. After that, I took him in to live with us."

"Oh...? People are saying you have a bastard child. I was saying, if you really have a bastard child, there wouldn't be no news at all."

Kisaki Eri was thoughtful. She didn't expect that he actually had an older brother, and that older brother's wife should be Chinese.

The son takes the wife's surname, which means that he should marry into the wife's family.

Therefore, there is no news from the outside world.

Vermouth glanced at Maori Kogoro, who was following behind Kisaki Eri and pretending to look elsewhere, and took the initiative to greet him:

"Kogoro, long time no see. I heard you and Eri are divorced?"

"Yes."

Just as he agreed, Kisaki Eri turned around and glared at him fiercely. Maori Kogoro had no choice but to change his words:

"We're just separated, not divorced yet. As for you, congratulations on finally getting married to Yukiko. But why didn't you invite us? I thought you'd forgotten about me, your old classmate."

"How is that possible? Haha... Because Yukiko was anxious at the time, and she was worried that Conan's bad luck would lead to a murder, she only invited relatives."

It was at this time that more and more people gathered.

"Mr. Fujimine, it's been a long time since we last met. Some time ago..."

"I didn't expect that a busy man like Mr. Fujimine would come to the Suzuki family's exhibition. This trip was really worth it."

"No, no... Let me introduce you, this is my nephew Bai Mu..."

As more and more people gathered, Bai Mu calmly pulled Miki away and sat down on the sofa at the side of the venue.

"So many people know Uncle Fujimine. No wonder he came here today." Miki smiled and then asked softly, "If it was Brother Maku himself who played, could he do this?"

"It's a pity that I can't compare to him."

Bai Mu shook his head slightly. It was definitely not an easy task to make up for twenty-two years of life experience in a short period of time.

If I were to play the role of "Fujimine Makuro", although my appearance would be simpler, my personality and connections would be almost the same as if I had lost my memory.

Perhaps this is why Vermouth must come here today?

He introduced his identity to everyone in public and separated the Baimu and Fujiminemu to avoid being suspected of supernatural phenomena such as rejuvenation.

Soon, Mao Lilan and Sonoko also escaped from the crowd and sat down on the sofa opposite Bai Mu and the others.

"There are so many people over there, Mr. Baimu, it turns out you are Mr. Fujimine's nephew. I always thought you were an illegitimate child. I'm sorry!"

"No need to apologize, it's a small matter." Bai Mu smiled, then asked, "Speaking of which, why didn't I see Conan? Didn't he come over?"

"I didn't invite him!" Sonoko unconsciously clenched her fists. "That kid's luck is really too bad. After much thought, I still didn't invite him. Last night, I specifically emphasized to Uncle Maori several times that he must not bring the kid here."

"I see... By the way, did you manage to invite the person I told you about earlier?"

"that person?"

Yuanzi was slightly startled, but quickly reacted and nodded repeatedly:

"No problem! I specifically told my mother to invite the fashion company."

"But whether she will come or not is uncertain."

"Hmm... after all, he's the president of a fashion brand company, so he should come over, right?"

Fashion brand company?

Ran Mao Li looked at the two people in confusion, and her eyes moved to the entrance of the venue. She noticed a very well-maintained blonde beauty who looked to be in her thirties looking around, and she subconsciously stood up.

"What's wrong, Xiaolan?" Sonoko looked puzzled and subconsciously followed her gaze, but she didn't find any common acquaintances between the two of them.

Just as I was about to ask in a low voice, Mao Lilan had already run over.

"Big sister, do you still remember me?"

"You are…"

"Big sister, my name is Mao Lilan. Ten years ago, under the ginkgo tree at Teitan Elementary School, we made a promise."

"It's you. Long time no see. You've grown into a big girl."

"After all, it's been ten years. Did Big Sister come here alone?"

"Well, my name is Fushahui. Come to think of it, I don't think I asked your name before?"

"Sister Fusaei, my name is Maoli Ran! You can just call me Xiaolan. If you don't mind, come over there and sit with us."

"Thank you so much. By the way, was it Xiaolan who sent me the invitation to this exhibition?"

"No ..."

At this moment, Mao Lilan suddenly reacted.

Isn’t Fushahui a super famous fashion brand?

Could it be that the person that Yuanzi and Mr. Baimu were talking about just now is her?

"It should be Sonoko who invited you, right?"

When Mao Lilan brought her to the sofa where Bai Mu and others were sitting, Fusae immediately smiled and thanked her.

Although the company has developed well, it is still far behind the Suzuki Group and is not qualified to be invited to participate in such an exhibition that only the rich and powerful can participate in.

"thank you all…"

"You're welcome. Actually, Mr. Baimu asked me to invite you."

As he spoke, Sonoko looked back and forth at Fusae and Baimu unconsciously, thinking:

Although this beauty has taken good care of herself, it is still obvious that she is at least 40 years old.

And he is only about 20 years old at most.

"Hello, Miss Fushae. The reason I invited you here is actually because I want you to meet someone."

Bai Mu sighed slightly, then said:

"Please sit here and wait for a moment. I told him in advance, so he will definitely come over."

"??"

Fushahui was filled with astonishment and looked towards the entrance of the venue in confusion.

Why does it feel so complicated?

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment, and when she found that both of them had fallen silent, she took the initiative to interrupt:

"Sister Fusae, after that, did you wait for the person you wanted to wait for?"

"No... I guess he must have forgotten me."

Fusai lowered her head unconsciously, but noticing Xiaolan's sad expression, she quickly cheered up and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Xiaolan, it's all in the past."

"But…"

Mao Lilan's intuition told her that in her heart, the matter was not over and she would definitely continue to wait.

Because she didn't know Fusae, she couldn't get a word in. Sonoko turned her gaze to the white curtain and asked the question that had always been on her mind:

"Mr. Baimu, how old are you? When I asked Miki before, I was interrupted and didn't hear the answer at all."

"Do you care a lot?" Bai Mu looked surprised.

"Hmm... If it's okay, could you also tell me about your career and hobbies?"

"I'm 18 years old and just graduated from high school. As a professional, I'm a treasure hunter, right? My hobby is exploring."

"Huh...? Isn't he only one year older than me? Normally, shouldn't an 18-year-old be a senior in high school?"

"The national conditions are different. School starts in April here, while it starts in September back home. I started school earlier, and I was supposed to be admitted to university back home, but when I learned my family was wealthy, I immediately dropped out."

"Huh...? Why? Wouldn't it be better to just transfer to a private university in Tokyo?"

"A high school diploma is enough. There's no need to continue studying."

"But... wouldn't it be better to have a higher degree? Like my sister, after graduating from college, she was admitted to graduate school."

"Haha... Everyone has their own aspirations. I'm not really interested in going to school. I'd rather free up my time and learn more things I can't learn in school. Swordsmanship, gunmanship, shooting, fighting, etc..."

"These are useless in daily life, right?"

"Normally, that's true, but with Conan's arrival comes a crisis. Exercise and work hard so you can fight back when you encounter danger."

"Huh...? So, you dropped out of school because of Conan?"

"It can be said like this."

Sonoko's expression suddenly became a little strange. Chuunibyou? Unfounded worry? None of them seemed appropriate.

After all, that kid Conan has really bad luck.

Because of him, Tokyo's public security declined rapidly.

If this continues, he will kill me sooner or later.

"What do you think of my sister? If you think my sister is much older than you, then...what do you think of me?"

? ?

Bai Mu burst out laughing. No wonder they suddenly started checking the household registration. It turned out they were waiting for him here.

However, this is really unacceptable.
