After giving Yuzuru a disdainful look, Ai reluctantly took out a gold coin and threw it into his hand, then stared at Sonoko.
"Um... Ai, I really didn't mean it..." Sonoko fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, trying to defend herself.
Ai crossed her arms and stared intently at her, saying, "You know we're teammates, right?"
"Mmm, I know!" Sonoko nodded her little head frantically, like a rattle-drum, her hair shaking with each step.
"Then why are you throwing all your props at me?!"
Ai Haibara muttered a speechless complaint.
They played games in the afternoon, and Sonoko insisted on teaming up with her. Hanyu Nan and Akiba Reiko were on one team, and the four of them played a KartRider item race. As a result, Ai really experienced what it means to have a terrible teammate.
Every time she takes the lead, missiles, lightning bolts, and flying saucers always fly up from behind her, and they're all go-karts from her own teammates.
The repeated betrayals were driving Ai Haibara to the brink of a mental breakdown.
In just one afternoon, her savings dwindled rapidly with each loss, almost completely gone!
Hearing Ai's complaints, Sonoko also felt wronged and said, "I...I really didn't mean to! I just accidentally pressed the wrong button every time I was aiming at them, even though I was aiming very accurately!"
As she spoke, she pitifully tugged at Ai's sleeve, "Ai, please forgive me this time, okay? I promise I'll never do it again next time."
"Hmph, you said the same thing last time!" Ai didn't buy it at all and ruthlessly exposed her "guarantee".
"This time it's for real, Ai! Trust me one more time, we'll definitely win this time!" Sonoko said confidently, still unwilling to give up. The determination in her eyes made it seem as if she had truly seen the dawn of victory in the next round.
"That was also said in the previous post..."
Watching Sonoko make a solemn promise to Ai, Hanyu Nan and Akiba Reiko exchanged a smile.
As a teammate, Sonoko is terrifying.
But as an opponent, he is an invaluable source of wealth.
"1, 2, 3, 4... 14, 15, 16."
Reiko Akiba happily counted the maple leaf coins she and Kusunoki Hanyu had won that afternoon, then put them in her pocket and patted them a few times.
This is all gold!
Singing? What kind of songs? How much money can you make singing?
There's no faster way to make money than playing games with a garden.
Looking at Akiba Reiko's "money-grubbing" appearance, Yu Sheng Nan couldn't help but find it amusing and teased, "Reiko, if your fans saw you looking like this, your image would be completely ruined."
"Who cares about them? I earned all these gold coins through my own abilities."
Reiko Akiba casually gathered her hair, which had been accidentally messed up while she was engrossed in playing games, behind her head with an elegant and natural movement: "Besides, we're at home now, so appearances don't matter anymore. Being happy is the most important thing."
As she spoke, she proudly shook the bag of gold coins, making a crisp sound, and her beautiful red eyes narrowed with a smile.
Sonoko, standing to the side, was displeased upon hearing their conversation.
She pouted, put her hands on her hips, and said loudly, "Hey, Reiko-sensei, Nan, stop counting your money! Help me persuade Ai to give me another chance!"
Yuzuru smiled at Ai: "Ai, why don't we trust Sonoko this time? Maybe she can really be transformed this time."
He blinked and said in an exaggerated tone.
"That's right, Ai, just trust Sonoko one more time!"
Reiko Akiba, resting her white chin on her hand, chimed in from the side.
"That's right, it's not like you guys are paying for it, of course you don't care." Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at the two guys who were talking without thinking.
She's almost lost all the maple leaf coins she's painstakingly saved.
Despite this, Ai Haibara eventually gave in to Sonoko's earnest request.
The four of them played until Akemi and Ran packed their bags and came downstairs.
As expected, no matter how good Ai's skills are, she still can't carry Sonoko, who can be described as a "god-level noob," and can only hand over her last maple leaf coins with great resentment.
"Young Master Yuzuru, everything is packed. What's up with Ai?"
Mingmei walked over and looked at her younger sister, who was sitting on the sofa, pouting and sulking, with a puzzled expression.
Yuzuru waved his hand with a smile and explained the whole story to Akemi. Akemi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after listening: "I see. Don't worry about losing, Ai. I have more if you need more."
Ai twitched the corner of her mouth, not wanting to speak.
What does it mean to lose without worry? If it weren't for Sonoko being such a terrible teammate, with her skills, she could have won for everyone in her family.
.........
.........
Tomorrow they're going to Osaka, and Akemi and Ran packed all their luggage carefully that afternoon.
However, everyone's schedule is different.
Yuzuru, Akemi, Ai, Reiko, Sonoko, and Ran will head directly to Osaka tomorrow, while Ayako will not go until the Satsuki Cup begins.
She needs to handle the group's newly opened gaming division.
The smooth operation of this department is entirely due to the strong support provided by a certain person.
The universal game card contains so many games, and some large online games are more fun with more people playing together. Yuzuru handed it over to Ayako and asked her to use the existing code to develop the games.
While satisfying their own desires, they also casually help their own company make some money.
After all, these games are all blockbuster products that have been tested by the market in the previous life. Any one of them can cause a sensation in this world.
It can be said that as soon as Suzuki Group established its gaming division, it directly dealt a devastating blow to the entire gaming industry, truly achieving a "far ahead" position.
Good news for gamers worldwide!
While some games require high-end hardware, the world of Detective Conan is characterized by rapid technological advancements. What might be a high-end mobile phone today could be an Apple iPhone 13 announced by a company tomorrow.
It is foreseeable that the Suzuki Group is about to make a fortune again.
After all, in this world, besides the elderly, women, and children, gamers are the easiest to make money from.
I'm telling you, this game is so good, what's wrong with spending 648 yuan on it?
Charge it up, charge it up really hard!!!
Oh, by the way, Suzuki Group's newly opened game division is called TX, and its mascot is an adorable little penguin.
It is said that the name was given to it by some unknown young master.
