Uncle, I'm back. At 7:30 pm, Xiao Bai opened the door to the third floor.
Xiao Bai, you came back very late today. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Lan looking at him with her hands on her waist.
Hehe, Sister Xiaolan, let me treat you to chocolate. Xiao Bai took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Lan.
Humph, do you want me to forgive you like this? Xiao Lan took the chocolate and looked at Xiao Bai.
Of course, of course, there was more. There were three chocolates in total. Xiao Bai immediately took out another two chocolates from his pocket, his face showing a pained expression.
Alright, Lan, stop teasing him. Hurry up and heat up the food for him. Mao Li looked at the pained expression on Xiao Bai's face and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Got it, Dad. Later, Sister Xiaolan will heat up the food for you. Remember to come back earlier next time. Xiao Lan took the chocolate and stuck out her tongue at Mao Li. She then smiled at Xiao Bai. It seemed that teasing Xiao Bai was quite interesting.
He didn't expect Xiao Lan to have this side to her. Conan, who was watching from the side, thought speechlessly.
This week, it was almost Saturday.
On Friday, she promised Bu Mei that she would draw her portrait. After school, Genta Mitsuhiko and the others also said they wanted to join. In the end, Xiao Bai had no choice but to let Conan and the others stand together, and then drew a picture for them.
And that one was given to Bu Mei. She had a smile on her face the entire time she got the portrait.
Genta and the others, after making an appointment to play football on Saturday afternoon, each said goodbye and went home.
And then, it was Saturday.
On the bus…
Really, it was clearly a holiday. Why is there such a traffic jam? Mao Li leaned his hands against the seat behind him. Looking at the slowly moving bus, he said this without a word.
Lan, wouldn't it be faster if we took the streetcar? Mao Li said, then looked at Xiao Lan beside him.
Xiao Lan was wearing a beige sweater, an orange jacket, and a blue skirt. She was wearing a pair of sports shoes and holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
She never thought that she could be a fashion model for Miss Toya. It felt like a dream. Xiao Lan closed her eyes and smiled.
By the way, was she really called Hideko Toya? It was the one called…Mao Li who asked. Then, he folded his arms and closed his eyes as he thought.
The top designer in Japan, Ekiko Toya, right? Xiao Lan told him about Hideko's background.
Uh... Mao Li turned around and revealed an awkward expression.
Right, it seemed that the fashion show of that Hideko seemed to have suddenly paused a while ago, and then a few days ago, there was news that her secretary, Taniguchi Mika, had been fired. Conan, who was sitting by the window, held his chin and said.
Well, it seemed that their competitor had held a winter fashion show that was similar to theirs earlier, so they were forced to suspend it. The newspaper said that Taniguchi Mika was fired because she sold the design drawings to the competitor company. Mao Li crossed his arms and stroked his chin with his right hand.
You know that very well, Uncle. At this moment, Conan turned to look at Mao Li.
Are you a fan of Hideko Toya? Conan looked askance at Mao Li.
Yo. Mao Li was stunned.
Dad, really? Xiao Lan asked Mao Li beside her.
Don't joke around. The so-called detective must always be concerned about society in order to expand his business tentacles. Mao Li gestured and said.
What feelers would there be? Conan, who was at the side, continued to hold his chin and was speechless.
Xiao Bai could only smile when he saw this.
This was the place. After getting off the car, Xiao Lan and the others arrived at their destination. It was the place where Xiaobai had been a few times. The company where Hideko Toya worked.
What a huge building. Mao Li looked at the building in front of him and said this. He jumped to the side and squatted down. He took out a mirror and a comb and began to comb his hair.
Uncle, you're not here to be a model. Conan looked at Mao Li's actions and said.
You're always nagging and making a lot of noise. Mao Li stood up, holding a mirror in one hand and a comb in the other as he spoke to Conan.
Alright, Uncle, let's go in. Xiao Bai looked at the two clowns and said helplessly.
Sorry, my name is Maureen. Xiao Lan said to the guards inside.
Let me confirm first. The guard looked at the list in his hand.
The chairman will be back soon. Please wait there for a moment. Then, after confirming that there was no mistake, he said to Mao Lilan.
OK. Xiao Lan held the flowers and walked towards Mao Li.
Mao Li had his hands in his pockets and was looking at the clothes on the side.
It was rather quiet here. Xiao Lan said as she looked around.
Yes, because today is a holiday. So there was no one else around. It was very quiet. The guard replied while writing something. Then, he seemed to have heard something and turned to look at the door.
I'm really sorry, Mori-san. Have you been waiting long? At this time, Hideko Toya, who was wearing a gray coat and light gray tights as usual, ran towards the guards while looking at Molilan and saying,
no. Xiao Lan answered while holding the flowers.
As for Little White, he stood beside Mao Li and looked at the clothes. Because Hideko, who had jogged in, was only looking at Xiaolan, she did not notice Little White, who was looking at the clothes.
I'm really sorry. He saw Hideko Toya walking over from the guards.
This is my father, and Edogawa Conan, and…Conan and the others walked over to Xiaolan. Then, Xiao Lan introduced him.
Aunt Yingzi, and I, Mao Libai. Before Xiao Lan could introduce him, Xiao Bai answered with his hands on his head.
Kid, don't be so rude. Little White, don't be so rude. Mao Li and Xiao Lan looked at Xiao Bai and said.
Oh, so it was Little White. At this time, Hideko seemed to have noticed Maori Shirai. She squatted down and was about to pinch his face.
Aunt Yingzi, why do you pinch my face every time you see me? Xiaobai took a step back.
Hehe, I just feel that you are very cute and can't help but want to pinch your face. As she spoke, she seemed to feel that something was wrong and stood up.
Xiao Lan, Mao Li, and Conan were petrified.
This little brat. Xiaobai actually called her Aunt Yingzi. This was what Mao Li, Xiaolan, and Conan thought.
Meanwhile, Hideko smiled and looked at Maori Bai without saying anything.
Ahem, that, the child is not sensible, please forgive me. Mao Li coughed dryly.
Hehe, it's okay. Who are you? Hideko smiled.
I'm Maori Kogoro. I'll have to trouble you with my daughter this time. Mao Li placed his left hand on his right chest and bent down slightly. He said to Hideko with the etiquette of a noble.
You said Moriko Kogoro, the famous detective Moriko Kogoro. Hideko said in surprise.
It's my honor that you've heard my name. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Teacher Toya. Mao Li smiled as he took the bouquet from Xiao Lan's hands and prepared to transfer it to Ying Zi.
Thank you so much, Mr. Maori. Hideko took the bouquet from Maori and smiled.
Where, where. Mao Li placed his right hand behind his head and laughed loudly.
Aunt Yingzi, I heard that you're looking for Sister Xiaolan to be your model. Xiao Bai walked to the side of Hideko Toya and gently touched the heel of her leg.
Hehe, yes, I just didn't expect her to be your sister. I was still suspicious at that time. Hideko squatted down, holding the flowers in one hand and pinching Mori's white face with the other. However, she was afraid that he would dodge, so she patted his head.
That... Xiao Lan stammered as if she wanted to say something.
Oh, hehe, I'm so sorry. Ms. Maori, I'm sorry to make a fool of myself. Please sit here and wait. I'll go up and prepare. Right, Xiao Bai, you come with me too. Mr. Maori, is that okay? She apologized to Xiaolan, then pointed to the sofa at the side. Finally, she held the bouquet in one hand and held Xiaobai's hand in the other as she asked Maori.
No problem, haha, Xiaobai, listen to Teacher Toya. Mao Li laughed loudly, and then said to Xiao Bai in a preaching tone.
Hi. Xiao Bai replied and went up the elevator with Hideko.
Xiaobai, thank you for this time. Hideko's voice came from the elevator.
What's wrong? Aunt Yingzi. Xiaobai asked with doubt.
Hehe, it's fine. Hideko looked at Morihiro and smiled. Then she looked at the number on the stairs.
Come, Aunt Yingzi, let me treat you to chocolate. Xiaobai took out a bag of chocolate from her pocket and handed it to Hideko Toya.
Oh, do you like chocolate? Hideko took the chocolate. He opened the packaging and started eating.
hmm. Xiao Bai took out a chocolate from his pocket, tore open the packaging, and threw it into his mouth as he answered vaguely.
Beside him, Hideko looked at Whitey and smiled, as if the chocolate made her feel warm.
When they arrived at the office, after Hideko Toya finished tidying up everything, she chatted with Xiaobai about some other things and walked towards the elevator.
Downstairs, the cameraman and his team were already there, and Hideko was carrying four bags.
In the morning, they went to the seaside. A temporary locker room was built. After the photographer and the others were ready, Hideko took out two sets of clothes from her handbag. Those were two sets of Mao Libai's paintings.
After wearing it on Lan, it was just like what Xiao Bai had drawn. She was wearing a white dress made of crystal gauze used for wedding dresses. Xiao Lan was wearing a white sun hat and smiling at the camera.
Conan, on the other hand, looked at Lan in a daze.
Maori and Hideko were chatting casually.
After lunch, they went to the forest and the park to take pictures. The remaining two sets were also painted by Xiao Bai. They added a trace of beauty and sunshine to Xiao Lan.
Hideko looked at Xiaolan's smile and the dress and smiled.
By the time everything was over, it was already around 3:30 in the afternoon.
Thank you, everyone. Hideko bowed to Xiao Lan and the cameraman to thank them.
Teacher Toya, this is unacceptable. The cameraman and the others quickly went forward to help her up.
Xiao Lan, those clothes were designed by Xiao Bai. Ran, who was about to speak, was interrupted by Hideko Toya.
What? Xiaolan looked at her in confusion and then looked at Little White. Maori and Conan did the same.
Hehe, if it wasn't for his drawing, I might not have been able to design better clothes. And these four outfits were made according to his drawings. Hideko smiled.
Sister Lan, eat chocolate, and Uncle Mao Li. Xiao Bai took out a few chocolates from his pocket and distributed them to the people present.
Xiaobai was really a genius. Xiao Lan bent down and said to Xiao Bai. As for what Mao Li and Conan were thinking, it was unknown.
Oh, right. After receiving the chocolate, she seemed to have thought of something and took out something from her bag.
She took out a box of beautifully packaged chocolates and gave it to Morihiro.
This is for you. Hideko smiled and handed the chocolate to Morihiro.
Hehe, thank you, Aunt Yingzi. Xiaobai smiled and took the chocolate.
Alright, Teacher Toya, I've really troubled you this time. We should also take our leave. Mao Li looked at the photographer and the others who had finished packing up and were about to return to the company.
That's not true. I should be the one thanking you. As for the photos this time, I'll get someone to send them over when the time comes. I'll pick out a few of them to be posters for the company's fashion exhibition. Hideko looked at Xiaolan and then at Xiaobai with a smile.
By the way, Mr. Mao Li, I hope you can show up at the next fashion exhibition. Hideko added as if she had thought of something.
Really? Xiaolan crossed her arms and looked at Hideko.
Well, I'll send out an invitation the next time it's held. Hideko said with a smile.
Then we'll be there together. Mao Li said with certainty.
Thank you. Hideko thanked him.
Then, Teacher Toya, we will take our leave first. Mao Li also bent down and saluted.
Well, be careful on the road. Hideko answered as she ran towards the cameraman.
Hehe, I didn't expect our Little White to be such a genius. On the streetcar, Mao Li patted Little White's head.
Tsk, I've always been smart. Xiao Bai was dissatisfied with Mao Li's actions as he pouted. His expression was so cute.
Haha…Xiao Lan and the others laughed.
By the way, Conan, Genta and the others said they were going to play football in the afternoon. Xiaobai turned her head and said to Conan.
Yes, uncle, after getting off the car, Xiao Bai and I will go find Genta and the others. We will come back on time for dinner. Conan said to Mao Li.
Go, go, have fun. Mao Li waved his hand.
I, I have to come back early for dinner. Xiao Lan added.
Hi. Conan and Xiaobai responded at the same time.
Conan, tonight's game will be great. In the nearby woods, Genta held the football and said to Conan.
Competition? Conan revealed a puzzled expression.
It's the football competition. Mitsuhiko explained.
Oh, it's the finals tomorrow. Conan raised his head and said.
Xiaobai, guess which team will win? Bu Mei looked at Xiaobai and asked.
I'm not sure about that. Xiaobai rubbed the back of her head and smiled.
It was obvious that it would be the Tokyo Soul team with a hero. After all, they had won seventeen games in a row. Genta said excitedly.
Heroes are not bad either, but I still like Naoki. Bu Mei said as she walked.
But I heard that Naoki was injured in the previous game, so he shouldn't be able to play in this game, right? Mitsuhiko said to Ayumi.
However, I still think that the Super Osaka team with Ramsay will win because he is excellent in both offense and defense. Mitsuhiko raised his head and added.
Football…Conan muttered to himself.
Well, goodbye. On a street, after saying goodbye to Ayumi and the others, Conan and Xiaobai walked to the detective agency together.
