Chapter 223: Shameless
Seeing that Sesshomaru and Tomoe were about to fight again, Natsume quickly changed the subject:
"Are you also here because of the reputation, Senpai Mori?"
Natsume was asking about Mori Ran.
"Not really."
After listening to Natsume's words, Mao Lilan suddenly showed a shy but slightly proud smile:
"I won the first prize during the lottery in the commercial street. The prize is that five people or less can stay in this store. Eat for free here."
Natsume then remembered that Mao Lilan's luck seemed to be very good indeed. Just like Conan would encounter murders almost every time he went out, Mao Lilan would win every time he encountered such lottery-type things, and almost always. It's the jackpot.
"Then your luck is really good."
Natsume was feeling a little emotional about Mao Lilan's luck:
"The business of this store has always been very good, so there is no need to use this kind of publicity method at all, but there is someone on the commercial street who has a relationship with Xiaoxue. Yes, he begged Xiaoxue for a long time before she agreed to offer a free meal as a prize.
This is probably the only opportunity for ordinary guests to have a free meal, but I didn't expect that you would win the prize."
So, there is At that time, luck was also a kind of strength. Natsume even wondered whether Mao Lilan's success in karate competition was also related to her good luck.
"Is that so?"
Natsume's words made Mao Lilan very happy, especially after seeing so many people waiting outside the store, she looked forward to the food in this store even more.
However, soon, Mao Lilan's brows frowned. Not only her, but also Mao Li Kogoro's expression was not very good-looking.
The free meals are indeed delicious, but look at the number of people outside the store that has not decreased at all. How long do you have to wait for them to wait in line?
Natsume is so smart. He realized the reason as soon as the expressions of Maori and his daughter changed, but Natsume didn't take the initiative to bring it up. He even pretended not to know anything.
This is not an ordinary restaurant, and the two guys eating with him are not ordinary people either. It is best not to spend time with outsiders if possible.
Unfortunately, Natsume's plan was very good, but when he was about to say goodbye to the three people in front of him and go in to eat, Mouri Kogoro hesitated again and then shamelessly made a request to him: "Well...Natsume
"My..."
Even though he was as thick-skinned as Mouri Kogoro, he blushed a little when he said his request, but he really didn't want to wait in line, especially when he thought that there would be a live broadcast of Okino Yoko's concert in three hours. I went back and watched it and then recorded it.
For the sake of his idol Miss Yoko, Mouri Kogoro felt that his face didn't seem to be that important.
"The pretty shopkeeper just now said that you are one of the shareholders and have your own fixed box. Can you... can you..." Although he had decided to be
cheeky for once, Mouri Kogoro was still a little nervous at the end. Speaking of which, the feeling of asking for help from a boy who is younger than his own daughter is really not a good feeling.
"Dad!"
Hearing this, Mao Lilan immediately understood what her father meant, and her face turned red with embarrassment. She shouted at Maori Kogoro before turning to Natsume in embarrassment: "My dad has
some... so you Don't..."
Although Mao Lilan felt that her father's behavior was a bit embarrassing, as a daughter, it was difficult to say anything bad about her father, so she just hesitated, but did not tell the whole story.
Conan looked at Mao Lilan, who was blushing, and then at Natsume, who had no expression on his face. His heart moved, and he suddenly spoke in a childish voice: "I want to see what the specially reserved box looks like , Brother Natsume, can you take me with you?"
Conan was also shameless and decided to make good use of his current child's body. There are some things that the Maori father and daughter cannot say, but it doesn't matter if a six or seven-year-old child says it. .
No one would care about a child. At least Conan guaranteed that Natsume was not such a person.
——
"Conan!"
Hearing that Conan echoed his father's words, Mao Lilan felt even more embarrassed, and looked at Natsume's eyes with a deeper apology.
What Mao Lilan herself didn't realize was that besides apologizing, there was actually a deep hidden expectation in her eyes.
Natsume looked down at the innocent-looking Conan again, knowing very well that he must have sensed that glimmer of expectation, so he shamelessly took advantage of his childish appearance.
Thinking about Conan's original appearance, Natsume's mind immediately pictured a very handsome high school student, but he acted like a child, especially when the person he was acting like a spoiled child was his friend.
Natsume suddenly looked forward to Conan's expression when he knew one day that she actually knew all his secrets from the beginning.
This kind of dark history is enough for a proud and confident young man to regret for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Natsume suddenly felt that adding three outsiders was not so unbearable. Anyway, even if he really saw something, he would never believe it, so what else should he worry about?
I just felt a little sorry for Sesshomaru and Tomoe.
"It doesn't matter if we add three more guests, right?"
Natsume looked at Sesshomaru and Tomoe, and said in a consultative tone:
"Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, I will refuse them."
Natsume said this mainly to Sesshomaru. , after all, Tomoe has been in the modern family for so long and has long been accustomed to crowds. The only one who is not used to it is the proud dog demon Sesshomaru.
When Natsume said these words, he didn't even avoid Conan and the other three. He just wanted to express how much he valued Sesshomaru and Tomoe, no matter what other people thought!
Sesshomaru really doesn't like contact with humans, but don't forget that the most important thing in his heart is Natsume, and since he followed Natsume to the modern age, he is already mentally prepared to integrate into humans.
Let's just call it a drill this time.
——
"Let's come together."
Sesshomaru said concisely and concisely.
"It's not the first time we have dinner together. It doesn't matter to me."
Although he knew that Natsume was mainly asking about Sesshomaru, Tomoe still expressed his opinion.
Sure enough, both Sesshomaru and Tomoe are good monsters!
The corner of Natsume's mouth curled up slightly, feeling very proud and satisfied, but if those monsters who died at the hands of the two heard these words, I don't know how they would feel.
"Let's go in together, but let me give you a piece of advice first. No matter what you see after a while, it's best to pretend you haven't seen it. That's for your own good."
Chapter 224: Getting angry
Natsume's expression didn't change much when he said the last sentence, and he didn't show any seriousness or seriousness. Therefore, Mouri Kogoro and his daughter didn't take his words too seriously. They just thought it was because the decoration of the store was very special. That’s why Natsume specially reminded her.
The father and daughter have become more and more famous because they were elementary school students for a thousand years, and they have seen many dignitaries, so they thought that there is no decoration that can surprise them. The other has the daughter of Japan's second richest man. My best friend has been to a few high-end places and feels that she is well-informed.
Therefore, the two father and daughter did not take Natsume's words too seriously.
However, there are still people who take Natsume's words to heart, and that person is naturally Conan.
Among the three of them, Conan had the most contact with Natsume, and they had known each other for more than a year or two. Conan knew Natsume very well, but he knew that he was definitely not an alarmist or someone who liked to talk nonsense.
Since he could specifically tell the three of them not to make a fuss, then this store definitely has something special, and the special thing is definitely not the decoration.
After listening to Natsume's advice, Conan immediately began to pay full attention -
what kind of "surprise" will greet him next?
Conan suddenly became excited.
Haruko, who had been waiting by the side, saw that all the troubles on Natsume's side were finally solved, and immediately started to lead a few people into the store very well. Although they waited for a long time, Haruko didn't even have a hint of impatience on her face. There was no look on his face, and he always remained very respectful.
"I don't know anything about the cuisine, but the 'quality' of the waiters is very impressive!"
Mouri Kogoro sighed, but it could be seen from the way he glanced at Haruko's butt who was leading the way from time to time, what he called "Quality" definitely means more than meets the eye.
Seeing the familiar wretched expression of Mouri Kogoro, Maori Lan and Conan unanimously stepped aside and stayed away from him. If possible, they even wanted to express that they did not know this wretched middle-aged man at all!
Haruko in front happened to pass a turn, and when she turned around, she happened to notice the look in Mouri Kogoro's eyes. Haruko froze, and subconsciously leaned towards the most familiar person among them all, Natsume.
In fact, Chunzi was just looking for a sense of security reflexively, but unfortunately it was not the case in a certain pair of eyes.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better not get close to Zhiki again, little tanuki." The
sharp nails were pressed against Chunzi's neck. The front part of the nails had even penetrated into the skin, and the thin blood line was so sudden. It flowed along the wound and onto Chunzi's fair neck, looking so dazzling.
Not only was Chunzi's body stiff and she dared not move, the fear in her eyes was so deep that she looked like she was going to faint at any moment, but with the sharp nails on her neck, Chunzi didn't even dare to faint.
What frightened Haruko the most was not the nails that could pierce her neck at any time and take away her life, but the murderous look in Sesshomaru's eyes.
Haruko had no doubt that if he shook his head at this moment, he would be torn into pieces by the powerful monster in front of him in the next second.
No ordinary monster could withstand Sesshomaru's murderous intent, let alone Haruko who had never seen blood.
"Haruko...I know...I know...Sesshomaru SAMA..."
Haruko finally restrained the fear in her heart and promised stammeringly. She didn't even notice that Sesshomaru's voice was moving as she opened her mouth. His nails dug deeper into his neck.
At this time, compared to the mental fear, the physical pain was insignificant to Chunzi.
——
"Stop!"
"What are you doing?!"
"Let go of Haruko!"
Sesshomaru's movement just now was too fast and too abrupt. Even Conan and the other three who were right next to him didn't react for a moment. When they realized When something happened, Haruko was already under Sesshomaru's control.
The three people's sense of justice was far beyond ordinary people, so they immediately shouted and stepped forward to stop him. However, due to Haruko's assurance, Sesshomaru had already retracted his hand before the three people actually took action, leaving Haruko alone to cover him. His neck was still bleeding, and he looked like he was surviving a disaster.
"Hmph..."
Sesshomaru glanced at Conan and the three people who were rushing over, and let out a disdainful snort. If it weren't for his own fault, did these three humans think that they could stop his actions?
This is a fantasy!
"How can you hurt people at will?"
Mouri Kogoro glared at Sesshomaru with disapproval. In fact, until this moment, he didn't understand what happened just now. Why did this cold man suddenly attack Haruko? However, he did not hinder He didn't like Sesshomaru.
It's already wrong to hurt others at will, especially when the person being hurt is a beautiful woman. This is something even more intolerable to Kogoro Mouri.
"You are injured. Let me take you to bandage first, Miss Chunzi."
Mao Lilan supported Chunzi and said with a worried look. She knew nothing like her father, but someone was injured in front of her. The most important thing was of course healing her.
Compared to the impulsive Mouri Kogoro and his daughter, Conan just shouted when Sesshomaru threatened Haruko, and then stayed aside silently.
It's not that Conan's sense of justice suddenly disappeared, but that he sensed something was wrong.
Yes, maybe the sudden movements of Sesshomaru and Haruko's injury made them unable to think carefully, but it doesn't mean that Conan didn't notice anything.
——
Such sharp nails are absolutely impossible to grow on the hands of ordinary people. What happened to Sesshomaru’s nails that can definitely be used as weapons?
More importantly, Conan could swear that he had accidentally glanced at Sesshomaru's nails before. They were definitely as round as ordinary people. Could it be that what he saw just now were just fake nails?
Looking at Sesshomaru's fingers now, Conan unexpectedly found that they still looked like normal human nails.
Also, what is the name of "Little Raccoon Cat"?
Relating to the feeling of being frightened not long ago, Conan only felt that this young man named Sesshomaru had more and more secrets, and the interest in his heart was getting deeper and deeper.
The only thing that can excite a detective, apart from the case, is the mystery.
