Domoto Concert Hall.
When Yuzuru arrived with Ayumi, Ran, Sonoko, and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Nan, over here, over here."
Sonoko stood at the front desk, waving her arms at them.
With a smile on his face, Yuu Nan led Ayumi over quickly, then nodded politely to Kogoro Mouri standing to the side and said, "Uncle Mouri, thank you for waiting."
"Thankfully, we haven't been here too long." Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, leaned down to look at Ayumi, who was tugging at the hem of Kusanagi Hanyu's clothes, and couldn't help but complain, "But why did it take you so long to pick up this kid?"
"Well, kids like to sleep in, and since it wasn't time for the rehearsal yet, I waited a little longer," Yuzuru cleared his throat and explained.
When this was mentioned, Ayumi immediately looked aggrieved.
She had gone back to sleep because her mother told her to, but when she woke up, she found her brother Yuzuru chatting with her mother in the living room for a long time.
Later, her mother told her that she had just fallen asleep when her brother Yuzuru arrived. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he didn't have the heart to wake her.
This really hurt Ayumi's feelings.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry in, the rehearsal is about to start." Kogoro Mouri seemed impatient, striding towards the performance hall.
The others didn't think much of it and followed suit, heading towards the performance hall together.
Only Ai, who knew the reason behind it, gave Hanyu Nan a subtle eye roll.
Picking up someone can take several hours; only her young master could manage that.
.........
The official performance of the concert is scheduled for the evening.
The daytime rehearsal was the final rehearsal for the concert.
"The performance is exactly the same as the regular concert, and we can even choose our own seats! Visiting the preview is fantastic!"
Sonoko enthusiastically introduced the group, happily leading Hanyu Nanasu, Ran, Akemi, Ai, Ayumi, Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and others to choose their seats at will in the empty audience area.
The staff in the performance hall glanced at them with envy, then helplessly continued to bury themselves in their work.
"Young Master Yuzuru, here you go." Akemi handed over a bag of steaming buns from the seat next to her.
The maid was worried that Yuzuru wouldn't be used to breakfast made by others, so she specially prepared one to bring over.
"My Akemi is still the most considerate." Yu Sheng Nan smiled as he took the bun, ignoring the little girl's eye roll, and gave a small portion of the bun to Ayumi, while slowly eating the rest himself.
He was indeed a little hungry.
Mrs. Yoshida had originally planned to prepare a lavish breakfast that morning, but since the person didn't have much of an appetite, they opted to have their main meal first.
Later, when Mrs. Yoshida wanted to make breakfast again, she was worried that her daughter would notice something was wrong when she woke up, so she only cooked a little porridge in a hurry.
"Sigh, I'm really having such a hard time."
Yu Sheng Nan swallowed a steamed bun and thought to himself.
It's really not easy to feed others while going hungry yourself.
“The seats for the formal concerts are up there.”
Sonoko grinned and pointed to a VIP seat on the second floor. Then she turned around, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at Yuzuru Nanasu, who was sitting alone in the back row, enjoying his steamed bun. She said in a sweet voice, "This was specially prepared for you by my mother, Nanasu."
"Wow, it's a terrace seat!" Xiaolan exclaimed with delight, her eyes shining as she stared at the VIP seats on the second floor. The view from there was extremely expansive, offering a panoramic view of the entire performance hall.
This VIP section has a total of 12 seats, and with Professor Agasa and the other two children who will only be there for the actual performance, there is still one seat available.
Originally, Suzuki Tomoko planned to arrange a private room for Hanyu Kusunoki, but Hanyu Kusunoki didn't care about the seating arrangement. He felt that he could better experience the atmosphere of the concert by sitting outside with everyone else.
"Then please convey my gratitude to Auntie for me," Yu Shengnan said, his mouth full of steamed buns, his words muffled.
"Okay, okay! Mom already guessed that you would say that, so she told me in advance that we are all family, there's no need to be so formal." Sonoko repeated her mother's words with a smile.
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.
Sonoko, Ayako, and... (crossed out) are indeed family, no need to be polite.
Just as everyone was excitedly discussing the upcoming concert, an elegant figure slowly walked in from behind.
What are you eating?
Reiko Akiba, dressed in a gorgeous white performance costume, gracefully half-squatted down in the aisle next to Kusunoki Hanyu's seat, watching curiously as he put a steamed bun into his mouth.
Yuzuru tilted his head, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. He then took out another steamed bun from the bag and smiled, "These are steamed buns made by Akemi, with mushroom filling. Would you like some?"
Upon seeing this, Akiba Reiko's eyes immediately lit up.
Remembering the sumptuous and delicious breakfast that Yuzuru Nan had brought her yesterday, she nodded without hesitation: "Eat!"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to take the steamed bun.
However, she suddenly realized halfway through that she was wearing long white gloves that matched her performance costume, making it inconvenient to reach for the buns.
"Ha~" Yu Shengnan noticed her distress and couldn't help but chuckle. He held the bun in his fingers and gently stretched it forward, bringing it to Akiba Reiko's luscious lips.
The gesture seemed a little too intimate. Akiba Reiko was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, but still parted her lips and took a small bite of the bun.
"Hmm...it tastes really good." Akiba Reiko chewed her food carefully and murmured a heartfelt praise.
"That's right, this is a unique recipe." Yu Shengnan smiled smugly, leaning his body and patiently helping Qiu Tinglian finish the bun, then took another one out of the bag and handed it to her again.
Meanwhile, Akiba Reiko maintained her tranquility and elegance, quietly savoring the delicious buns bite by bite.
After what happened in the forest yesterday, the two became even more in sync.
This tacit understanding brings their hearts closer together.
After finishing the last steamed bun, Akiba Reiko licked her lips lightly with her tongue, stood up, straightened her skirt, and said with a smile, "Thank you. The rehearsal is about to begin. Enjoy it."
After saying that, she winked her right eye at Yuzuru Hanyu, then turned and walked towards the stage.
On the side, Conan, who had been secretly spying on her, frowned deeply as he watched Akiba Reiko's retreating figure.
When did these two become so close?
Big Steamed Egg thinks there's absolutely, positively, a serious problem here.
"Could this incident be related to Yuzuru Hanyu?"
Conan, realizing this possibility, immediately took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to his best friend.
