Chapter 70 A fruitful journey

"Ahem, okay, it's our turn now." Uncle Maori saw that the line was almost theirs and quickly changed the subject.

This time, the Suzuki Group invited some of its close partners to come for the annual celebration, as well as their relatives and friends. The room that Kazukage Yayoi received in the invitation letter was a double room. When he went to school later, he specifically told Sonoko that he would bring an extra friend, so Sonoko reissued him an invitation letter.

Toru Amuro received the invitation letter "accidentally" when Sonoko came to visit Ran Mouri one day and Toru Amuro happened to be visiting Kogoro Mouri.

Needless to say, the Detective Team and Professor Agasa are old acquaintances of everyone, and Sonoko will not be without them.

Several people handed over their invitations, and the staff confirmed them and gave each of them an electronic bracelet. "Dear guests, there will be no internet after sailing. If you want to make purchases on the ship, just show your bracelet. Most of the consumption on the cruise ship is free, but shopping requires additional payment. When you need to pay, the staff will remind you."

"Ms. Odagiri, huh? Thank you for your hard work." Uncle Maori, perhaps influenced by the atmosphere on the cruise ship or something, suddenly became upright and steady. He adjusted the tie on his white suit, looked down at the nameplate on the staff member's chest, and politely addressed the other person by name.

Ms. Odagiri smiled gently. She had the demeanor of a service staff, elegant but humble. She lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Maori, this is what I should do. Thank you for your understanding."

A sturdy male waiter carefully placed their luggage on the luggage cart. Miss Odagiri saw that he had packed all the luggage and spoke again, "Please follow me, dear guests. Where would you like to go first? We can deliver your luggage directly to your room."

Yuan Tai rubbed his stomach and said pitifully: "I want to eat first, I'm hungry."

Miss Odagiri led them into the elevator after walking through the crowd and introduced them, "The seventh floor is full of restaurants, with Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Italian, Spanish and other international cuisines. Do you want to go there first?"

The Maori family didn't have time to eat, so they agreed to go to the restaurant first.

Ms. Odagiri continued, "You can look at the number next to the sign. If you can't find your way, you can use the number to determine your location. For example, 7A23 means the 3rd store in the 2nd row of the 7th floor, area A. The Victory Goddess has a lot of space, so everyone must pay attention to their location. If you are worried about getting separated, you can agree on a fixed location to meet up first."

Following Ms. Odagiri's detailed introduction, the elevator door opened, and the Victory Goddess truly showed its luxury to everyone. Outside the elevator, there was a huge space, and I couldn't even feel that I was inside. The shops on both sides were three stories high, all of which were exquisite European-style small buildings. The street was brightly lit, and each shop had its own sign outside. The aroma of various dishes mixed in this space.

Above the head is a huge electronic screen, with dreamlike fish flying through the sky, leaving a gorgeous trail, and all kinds of familiar fairy tale characters appearing in the corals.

"Wow, it's Disney's Little Mermaid, ah! And the clownfish!" Ayumi waved excitedly, and several children rushed out happily.

"Everyone, don't run around!" Mao Lilan didn't care about anything else and quickly brought the children back.

"Hahaha, Miss Mori, you've worked so hard, needing help taking care of so many children." Miss Odagiri covered her mouth and giggled.

"Hey, everyone, don't run around. What did you promise me before? Don't cause trouble for Sister Xiaolan." Conan said with a straight face.

The three real kids immediately stopped the car, turned around, bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan, we've caused you trouble."

Mao Lilan patted their heads kindly and said, "It's okay, but don't run around. What if you get lost by accident?"

Ms. Odagiri took the opportunity to scare them, "Although most places on the cruise ship are safe, you must not go below the deck. There are dangerous large machines and water tanks inside, and the crew usually don't patrol. If you are accidentally trapped in it or fall into the water tank, it will be troublesome!"

The three children were frightened as expected, and all showed frightened expressions.

"Odagiri! What were you talking to the guests about!" A room service waiter came over angrily and bowed deeply to the three children.

"Sorry, guests, we are deeply sorry for disturbing your enjoyment."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. The children were running around, so Miss Odagiri helped me scare them." Xiaolan explained quickly.

"You can't tell this to the guests! I'm sorry, it's because we didn't provide adequate training, please forgive me!" Guan Yue Xiangyu bowed deeply again, then he took Miss Odagiri and left angrily. After a moment, he came back with Odagiri's card bag, "Now I will receive the distinguished guests."

After leaving Miss Odagiri, Kanzuki Xiangyu returned to a peaceful state. He was indeed more professional than Miss Odagiri, and he knew every specialty of the restaurant like the back of his hand. After Mr. Kanzuki's explanation, everyone finally chose the buffet. After all, the food in a restaurant is limited, and the buffet has rich dishes, and there is no need to wait for the food to be served.

After they chose the restaurant, Mr. Kanzuki distributed the room cards to everyone. There were eleven of them in total, and they were divided into six rooms. According to the order of the rooms, Kage Yayoi and Morobushi Kagemitsu shared a room, Uncle Mori and Amuro Toru shared a room, Haibara and Ayumi shared a room, Conan and the professor shared a room, and Genta and Mitsuhiko shared a room.

Xiaolan was on the next floor up, sharing a separate room with Sonoko and the others. This was the Suzuki Group's annual celebration, and as the eldest daughter, Suzuki Sonoko must be very busy and had to attend many events. They were worried about disturbing each other's rest, so the two of them stayed in adjacent single rooms.

Suzuki Sonoko was very generous and arranged a very good room for them. Although it was not as luxurious as the rooms of some super wealthy families, it was also a luxurious room on this cruise ship.

"There is no room number on the room card, so please be careful to distinguish. Also, for safety reasons, the doors on the cruise ship must be opened again with a room card after closing, and the same applies to the inside of the room, so please pay attention." Mr. Guanyue reminded him before leaving, "I wish you all a wonderful journey."

The excited crowd thanked Mr. Guanyue and went to the buffet restaurant and found two adjacent round tables to sit down. Taking into account that most people travel as families, most tables in the buffet restaurant only have space for five or six people, so they had to sit at two separate tables.

Not to mention the children, the adults were a little hungry after all this, and they all took the food they were interested in and started eating. As soon as Amuro Toru sat down, he received a call, and before the voyage started, he hurried out to make the call.

"Hiro, try this." Kazukage Yayoi ate a very good strawberry cake and pushed the cake that had been scooped with a spoonful to Morobushi Kagemitsu.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at the cake in silence for two seconds, then leaned in and whispered, "Actually, generally, couples don't do this kind of thing. Sharing the same piece of food is a very intimate act."

Kazukage Yayoi tilted her head and looked at Morifushi Keimitsu in confusion. Seeing the other person's serious expression that did not seem like he was lying, she then turned and secretly pointed at Haibara Ai and Ayumi who were drinking a drink from the same cup with two straws at the next table.

They were already drinking a glass of water together, but he only scooped a spoonful of cake with a clean spoon.

Zhu Fu Jingguang: ...

"There are some things that girls can do, but it would be weird for boys to do them." Zhu Fujingguang imagined if he and Zero drank a drink together with two straws, and he immediately got goosebumps.

Although they were childhood sweethearts, this kind of thing was still beyond his acceptance. But maybe Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji would do such a thing without hesitation.

"Oh, okay." Just as Kazukage Yayoi was about to take back the cake plate, he heard Morobushi Kagemitsu continue, "I don't mind, but you should be careful not to do this with other people, especially Gin."

Yes, this is also the biggest reason why Zhu Fu Jingguang reminded him. He was afraid that if he ate it without hesitation, he and Jing Yasheng would think it was normal behavior, and then share a piece of cake with Gin. That would be too explosive! Even more explosive than him and Zero drinking a glass of water!

After saying that, Zhu Fu Jingguang picked up the unused spoon and took a bite of the other side of the cake. "Hmm, it's really delicious, sour and sweet with a hint of mint. It seems that there's also a little strawberry wine in it?"

She wanted to retort that why she would share a cake with Gin who didn't know how to appreciate desserts, but when she heard that Morobushi Jingguang's evaluation was quite professional, He Jing Yayoi's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, yes, I can taste it too. Did you taste the jam on this layer? It's citrus mixed with strawberries. It's very special!"

"Well, mixing fruits is quite common, but this crispy crust uses mint chocolate. The mint cleverly highlights the freshness of the fruit, and the mellowness of the strawberry wine also enhances the fragrance of the fruit. It's worthy of such a luxurious cruise ship. The chef's skills are quite superb."

The two like-minded people who shared the same taste for food immediately started talking. They simply stood up and ate along the dessert table. Zhu Fujingguang, who had been saying that two boys couldn't eat cake together, had completely forgotten about it and was immersed in a heated discussion about dessert evaluation.

Looking at this scene, Mao Lilan laughed out loud, "It turns out that Kazuki's friends are also dessert lovers."

Uncle Maori didn't care about dessert at all. He just kept eating seafood. The plate in front of him was piled high. His mouth was full of food. He said incoherently, "We are all children. Why eat dessert? Seafood is expensive. Come on, Lan, eat more of this lobster. It's expensive to eat out!"

Amuro Toru kept smiling and sitting there without saying anything. He had just received a phone call and his expression became a little subtle. Conan noticed that Amuro Toru's eyes were always wandering outside the restaurant. After a while, he stood up and left when no one was paying attention. Conan followed Amuro Toru's line of sight, but saw nothing, so he had to stay in his seat.

Soon, the others had eaten and drunk their fill and returned to their rooms one after another, leaving behind Yayoi Kazukage and Keimitsu Morobushi who were still eating.
