Now that Kamino Higashi is back, Kitahara Sosuke feels a lot more relaxed. He can safely leave many things to him, such as how to deal with Shinji's affairs, how to end the battle for the black box, how to take care of the huge property left by the Kitahara family, etc. wait.

The two maintain a tacit understanding of each other, just like Kamino Higashi never asked Kitahara Sosuke how he developed his skills or where he got the large sums of money and firearms, Kitahara Sosuke also never asked Kitahara Sosuke about the time when Kamino Higashi left. What did time do, what purpose did he have when he found him, etc. They trust each other and keep their own secrets.

Not long after Kamino Higashi came back, he found the missing Kitahara Natsuwu. This once ambitious eldest lady of the Ji Dao was so scared that she didn't even dare to ask for the inheritance of the Kitahara family. In fact, when she saw Kanye Higashi , thought that this person was here to silence her, and she almost committed suicide due to fright. In the end, Kamino Higashi sought Kitahara Sosuke’s opinion and gave her a sum of money so that she would not live too hard.

Then, Kamino Higashi also sent holiday cards to Kitahara Emiko and her daughter, and sent letters to detectives (specifically Mouri Kogoro) and policemen familiar to Kitahara Sosuke to invite them to attend the Kitahara family's banquet; to O, who had previously provided help without saying anything. ·ix each gave a valuable brooch.

The various troubles that had made Kitahara Sosuke's head grow bigger before were placed in the hands of Kamino Higashi. It seemed that they were just trivial matters. He handled all the chores with ease and reorganized the order at home, which had been a little chaotic during this period. All the invitations sent by people whom Kithara Sosuke was not familiar with or knew were handled appropriately by him.

Even though he has dealt with so many things, Kamino Higashi does not look busy at all. He even seems very leisurely. He takes a morning bath every morning, takes a nap at noon, and takes a walk in the afternoon. He will also sit in the greenhouse or on the balcony and slowly flip through newspapers and drink. Coffee. Compared with the dutiful British butler before, he is now more like an old man who has resigned and retired to enjoy life. However, Kitahara Sosuke feels that the comfort level of his life has instantly improved several levels.

Every day, only when practicing kendo as usual, Kamino Higashi will be as serious, serious, and even a little harsh as ever.

[Side mission: Save Suzuki Sonoko. Time limit: within two days. Location: Izu Beach]

【Haizhijia Seafood Restaurant】

Looking at the line of Chinese characters on the sign, Kitahara Sosuke knew that he had found the right place. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.

He was wearing an ordinary loose-fitting T-shirt and shorts, with an olive backpack on his shoulders, just like an ordinary college student tourist.

There were not many people in the store. Sosuke Kitahara found an empty table and sat down. Then a tall, dark-skinned waiter with a band-aid above his left eyebrow came over and whispered: "Welcome."

,Guest. What would you like to order?"

Kithara Sosuke said: "A glass of cold beer and a piece of Tatsuta fried rice, thank you."

"Wait a moment." After the clerk said this, he turned and left.

Looking at his appearance, Kitahara Sosuke felt that he knew why there were not many people in this store - the clerk looked like a delinquent who would whip out a baseball bat at any time, and his attitude was not enthusiastic at all. If he hadn't been exposed to the sun,

It has melted, who wants to come in?

In this country, waiters must treat customers with the same enthusiasm as God. An eight-tooth smile is a basic requirement. They must bow when entering and leaving. Some even provide kneeling service. It is important to make customers come happily.

, and then leave happily. The indifferent attitude of this clerk is simply weird.

Kithara Sosuke looked at the young man who looked simple and even a bit dull because he was wearing glasses and an apron. He observed his pace and figure, and still felt a little unbelievable - this is the ceiling of martial arts in the Mingko world, Kyogoku.

real?

Judging from the appearance, he doesn't look like such a powerful person at all. His height should be about the same as him, his physique is not particularly strong, and the muscle lines on the exposed arms are not exaggerated. At best, it can be said that they are about the same as those of ordinary athletes. His shoulders

She has a wide waist and a slender figure. From the back, she even looks a little thin.

Kitahara Sosuke recalled the Inui Sadaharu he saw two days ago. The two were the same height, and it even seemed that Inui Sadaharu was burlier and more mature.

——Isn’t that kid a little too precocious?

Although some people are tall, looking at their faces, you can tell they are still young;

Although some people are young, looking at their face and size, they feel they are from their father's generation.

Kyogoku seemed to be aware of it and looked back at him. After a while, he came over with a tray. After putting down the tray, he asked bluntly: "Guest, you seem to be staring at me. Is there something wrong with me?"

Place?"

"No..." Kitahara Sosuke deliberately pretended to be uncertain and asked: "Are you that... the karate master known as 'Kikaki Noble Master'? I heard that you have a 400-game winning streak without losing, right?

?”

Hearing this, Kyogoku, who was a little wary at first, immediately softened his attitude. He was even a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment before whispering: "It's me. I'm sorry to disturb you. Please continue to eat."

Not long after, several more people walked into the restaurant and sat down. When Kyogoku saw them, he paused for a moment before walking over with menus.

The man in a ginger shirt casually ordered a few dishes and handed over the menu without looking back. His eyes were always looking at the short-haired girl sitting opposite him. His manner of speaking was a little frivolous, but the two sitting at the table

The girl didn't feel it, but found his words humorous and interesting.

Kyogoku Makoto served juice to the two young girls and children with a stern face, without saying a word. No one paid attention to the taciturn waiter. The short-haired girl, Suzuki Sonoko, said in surprise: "What? Mr. Michowaki is

A student at Rice University?"

Then she turned to look at the other girl next to her, Mao Lilan, and said, "That's your dad's junior!"

Mao Lilan smiled: "...Yeah."

She sat on the side of the table, feeling a little embarrassed. She felt like a light bulb sitting between lovers. Fortunately, there was Conan beside her to accompany her.

They traveled to Izu this time. Yesterday they went to see the fireworks display, which was beautiful. Today they went to the beach again. Suzuki Sonoko actually met a man who took the initiative to chat with her. He was tall and handsome!

Mao Lilan encourages her friends to take the initiative. At their age, they can actually get married. Especially Suzuki Sonoko has been crying because she has no lover, and she is almost crazy.

However, Suzuki Sonoko, who has been clamoring to hook up with a good man all day long, is very talkative, but is very timid in her heart. She must drag Mao Lilan to accompany her before she dares to go to the date.

Kitahara Sosuke, who was sitting in the corner, had his back to them and was not noticed by many people. He turned sideways and saw Suzuki Sonoko blushing and asked: "Why did you come to Izu?"

"It's a lovelorn journey!" Masahiko Michowaki deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I was dumped by my girlfriend. When I looked at the sea with depression, I found an angel!"

He pointed at Suzuki Sonoko, held a cigarette in his mouth, and blinked his left eye. He looked so handsome.

"If my hunch is correct, you should be the goddess who saves me!"

As soon as these words came out, Suzuki Sonoko immediately couldn't resist, and her cheeks suddenly turned red, as if steam was about to come out.

A full glass of beer was placed forcefully on Masahiko Michowaki's hand. Kyogoku's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Here comes your draft beer."

"Ah, thank you." Michowaki Masahiko said blankly. I don't know if he felt the pressure of the "ceiling", but he seemed very honest and didn't say a word even if some beer spilled.

Kitahara Sosuke burst out laughing with a "puff" sound.

Michowaki Masahiko suddenly became angry and asked: "That little brother, why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, laughter is my freedom." Kitahara Sosuke said lightly.

Judging from the other party's confident attitude, Michowaki Masahiko saw that this person was not easy to mess with either. He took a breath and forced a smile. Just as he was about to save some face for himself, he heard the girl next to him say in surprise: "Kitahara-san,

Why are you here?!"

"I happened to be traveling here." Kitahara Sosuke came over and sat on the empty side and asked, "Who is this gentleman...?"

"Let me introduce you." Suzuki Sonoko's face was still a little red, but the joy that was touching her to the point of explosion had somehow dissipated a lot. Instead, she said a little embarrassedly: "This is Kitahara Sosuke, our friend in Tokyo;

This is Mr. Michowaki Masahiko, we just met on the beach, so... we came to have dinner together."

Miss Suzuki is open-minded on the outside and wears bikinis and swimsuits one after another. In fact, she is pure and innocent at heart and dare not say in front of acquaintances that this man is passionately pursuing her.

Kyogoku took a deep look at Kitahara Sosuke, lowered his head and wiped the table with a rag, then started wiping the table next to him without any intention of leaving.

"By the way, this is Mr. Kyogoku Shin. Ran-san, haven't you been practicing karate? This is your senior!" Kitahara Sosuke introduced directly without ignoring him.

"Really?" Mao Lilan was immediately surprised and stood up immediately: "Are you Mr. Kyogoku Makoto, the karate master of Aipado High School? No wonder I feel familiar. It turns out that I have seen you in the competition before! Ah!

, I am Mao Lilan, a sophomore at Didan High School, and I am also a karate master."

Michowaki Masahiko immediately looked at Mao Lilan with a bit of horror and fear.

Kyogoku was really embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Hello."

Then, his eyes involuntarily turned to Suzuki Sonoko, who was looking at him in surprise.

"I am also Suzuki Sonoko, a sophomore at Tedan High School. This is my first time meeting you. Please give me your advice."

"Where." Kyogoku bowed hurriedly: "It's my turn. It's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice."

Seeing his expression that was ten times more panicked than before, Conan raised his eyebrows, understood something, and felt even more incredible.

——No, this is impossible... Two men actually fell in love with Sonoko at the same time. There is definitely something wrong with this!

——This guy shouldn't have sprayed any "enchantment perfume" or "love potion" today, right?

Conan turned his head and was about to share his current mood with Kitahara Sosuke in a low voice, but found that he was looking at Masahiko Michowaki next to him, with a smile on his lips as if he had seen prey.

Conan:...?
