Chapter 012 Farewell Party
Sakuha Nobuta successfully fooled Narita.
However, Narita was still curious and asked, "But who is this person? Do you know him?"
Sakusaya Shinta turned away his eyes and denied it, "I don't know him."
Narita really believed it. He looked at the two men and said sourly, "Hatori is handsome himself, and his friends are also handsome. He's simply leaving us no chance to survive. Look at those girls who came to watch, their eyes are all focused on them."
It is normal for girls to come to watch sports activities. It not only motivates the team members to train well, but also allows them to compete with other sports to see which team is more popular. And the swimming team always ranks first.
The men's volleyball team used to rank last due to the speed of the ball, which made it difficult to see the ball during play and less entertaining. However, this year, with the addition of Yutori, many female players have come to watch the training.
Sakuhashi Shinta shook off Narita's hand in disdain and said, "Not me." He stroked his hair confidently, "My looks are also very popular~~ Many girls come here for me!"
Narita: ...Where do you get your confidence from?
"Hey! Sakuhaya! Narita! Why are you slacking off? Come over and hit the ball!" the assistant coach on the side shouted angrily.
The two ran back to the field in shame.
Narita grumbled quietly, "That's not fair! Hatori has been talking for so long, why doesn't Meisuke teach him a lesson?"
Sakuhaya Shinta reminded: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the teaching assistant hear you!"
Not long after, Higashino Hiroshi left and Hatori Yuiichi returned to the court.
They didn't know that the photo of the two of them standing together and chatting was soon posted on their CP building.
Sakusaya Shinta moved closer to Hatori Yuiichi and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why did he come to our house?"
Hatori Yuiichi explained, "Nothing serious. Senior was just passing by and mentioned me to join the group activity."
Saku Hayanobu was too skeptical: "Then he could have called or sent a message, why did he have to come to your house?"
Hatori Yui looked at him strangely and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Sakuhaya Shinta reminded: "What I mean is, you should be more careful and don't let others target you."
Hatori Yui shook his head helplessly. He patted Sakuhaya Shinta on the shoulder and said, "I'm an adult now, don't worry about me." After that, he walked to the net and started blocking training.
Sakusaya Shinta was left standing there, lost in thought. "He's already an adult? What does that mean? Does that mean he wants to do adult things?"
"Hey!!! Sakuhaya! You're slacking off again! We need to train for an extra half hour today!"
“Huh?!”
\\
Time soon came to Friday evening, and Higashino Hiroshi and his three friends, along with the new member, came to the Beihu Hot Spring Hotel.
They learned from the front desk that Kana Hoshimoto had booked the entire third floor because there was a huge open-air hot spring pool on the third floor.
Adachi Shizuku smacked her lips: "Once again, I've experienced the inhumane side of Miss Hoshimoto."
Dong Yexi glanced at the time and said, "You guys go in first, I'll wait for others."
Adachi Shizuku asked, "Are you waiting for that new guy who hasn't shown up yet? I wonder if he stood you up?"
Dong Yexi shook his head: "No, I just sent him a message to confirm that he will come."
"Alright then." Anda Shizuku waved her hand and said to the newcomers, "Young ones, let's go!"
Dong Yexi: ...Where did this mountain king come from?
The group got on the elevator and Dong Yexi sat on the sofa nearby waiting.
Half an hour passed, and Hatori Yuiichi still hadn't arrived.
Dong Yexi sent him a message, but no one replied.
He frowned and thought: "Hatori-san wouldn't stand me up for no reason, would he? He'd at least reply, right? Was there something holding him up?"
He was wondering if he should make a phone call when a question came from the hotel front desk: "What did you say? The third floor is booked? The hot spring party has been moved to Sunday? Why didn't you notify me in advance?!"
The front desk clerk smiled apologetically and said, "We sent out the announcement two days ago. Ms. Suzuki, I'm truly sorry."
Ms. Suzuki?
Higashino Hi immediately turned around to see, and it was indeed Suzuki Sonoko! She was accompanied by Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan!
He suddenly felt a little nervous. Wasn't anything going to happen tonight?
Over there, Edogawa Conan was comforting Suzuki Sonoko. He said, "Sister Sonoko, forget it if there's nothing to play. We can go somewhere else."
Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes at him and said, "Little brat, don't think I didn't hear you gloating over someone else's misfortune. You just don't want Xiaolan to go to the hot spring party with me!"
Edogawa Conan shrugged.
That's right, that's what he was thinking! What hot spring party? Is it any different from a pool party? How could she bring Xiaolan to a place like this? She already has a boyfriend, why is she still looking at naked men? It seems like he needs to find a chance to tell Kyogoku Makoto about this!
Mao Lilan was not interested in naked men, but since her best friend wanted to see them so much, she would not spoil her fun. So she did not feel any regret and even advised: "If it doesn't work today, we can wait until next time."
Suzuki Sonoko was furious and said, "No, I must know who ruined my plan!" Then she picked up the phone and started calling.
Mao Lilan couldn't dissuade her and could only let her go.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed an acquaintance sitting in the rest area.
"Senior Tono?"
Since Mao Lilan had spoken, Dong Yexi could not pretend not to hear. He stood up and walked towards them, saying with a smile: "Ms. Mao Li, long time no see~ Conan too, long time no see~~"
Mao Lilan smiled and said: "Just call me Xiaolan, no need to be so polite."
When Suzuki Sonoko saw Higashino Hiroshi, her eyes lit up and she leaned over to Mao Lilan's ear and whispered, "Who is this handsome guy? How come you met such a handsome guy behind my back?"
Mao Lilan explained in a low voice: "It's the fan of my father whom I told you about before, the one I met on Moon Shadow Island."
After hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko's expression twisted slightly: "What kind of look do handsome guys have these days? Mr. Amuro has the same look. Why are they all fans of uncle?"
Mao Lilan retorted: "My father is still very charming!"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded. "Uncle is indeed very handsome when he solves cases, but... if they saw what he was like in real life, they would probably stop being his fans right then and there, right?"
Ran Mao Li could not refute this statement. She also felt that her father in real life was too sloppy, which would shatter the fans' filter.
Edogawa Conan looked up at Higashino Xi and asked, "Brother Higashino, are you here to do something?"
Dong Yexi half squatted down and said, "No, I'm here to attend the club party."
Edogawa Conan asked curiously: "What club?"
"Criminal Psychology Research Society."
Edogawa Conan's eyes lit up. There's such a club in the university? It sounds very interesting.
He asked expectantly, "What kind of party is this? Are we all sitting together to analyze the case?"
Higashino Xi smiled awkwardly: "No... because today is the farewell party for the former president, so a hot spring party was arranged." He couldn't help but start to make excuses, trying to cover up the nature of today's activities.
Edogawa Conan with big eyes: Eh?
When Suzuki Sonoko heard the key words, she immediately asked, "Could it be that you guys have reserved the third floor?"
Dong Yexi smiled and said, "To be precise, it was done by a member of the club."
"Then can we go together?" Suzuki Sonoko asked expectantly.
Mao Lilan quietly tugged at her skirt and whispered, "This is a party for college students. Isn't it a bad idea for us to go?"
Suzuki Sonoko remained unmoved and replied, "It's okay. Didn't you say this guy is from the University of Tokyo? Then his classmates must be high-quality university students as well. It won't hurt if we go and take a look!"
Higashino Xi nodded: "Okay." He had received a message from Anda Shizuku before, saying that Miss Hoshimoto had brought a lot of unimportant people with her, and she probably wouldn't mind adding three more people.
He looked at his phone again and found that Anda Shizuku had started to urge him repeatedly. He could only send a message to Hatori Yui, asking him to go directly to the third floor after he arrived.
Then he took Edogawa Conan, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko to the third floor.
Just as Anda Shizuku said, the number of people who came far exceeded the total number of members in the club.
He finally found the club members and walked over with the three of them. He said with a smile, "Why are you all hiding in the corner? Aren't you going to the hot springs?"
Anda Shizuku pointed outside the glass window and said, "Go ahead." She saw a group of men and women in swimsuits and swimming trunks laughing and playing in the hot spring pool.
Dong Yexi immediately shook his head: "It's pretty good here."
Suzuki Sonoko looked out the window several times, and Mao Li Ran immediately pulled her arm, signaling her to be more restrained.
Suzuki Sonoko said: "No, I wasn't looking at naked men. Well, I did, but I mainly saw acquaintances in that group."
Edogawa Conan Half Moon Eyes: Hehe.
Seeing three people following Higashino Xi, Toyama Mima asked, "Senior Higashino, who are these three?"
Dong Yexi asked the three of them to sit down, introduced their identities to everyone, and said, "We just happened to meet them downstairs, so let them come over and play."
The group chatted for a while. When Toyama Mima heard that they were only in their second year of high school, she immediately said to the two girls, "It's a bit chaotic outside, so we should just stay indoors. If someone offers you a drink, don't drink it, and don't let yourself drink out of sight."
Anda Shizuku also said: "That's right, we must be extra careful in situations like this."
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki nodded repeatedly to show that they remembered it.
Just because of what they said, Edogawa Conan's impression of this club suddenly improved.
The people sitting in this corner had no interest in outdoor activities and were just there to eat. When they found out that Maori Ran was actually the daughter of the famous detective Maori Kogoro, they all jumped up like crazy, stopped eating, and surrounded Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Edogawa Conan, and the conversation turned to various cases.
When Higashino Hi saw Anda Shizuku's thorough psychological analysis of the criminal, he suddenly felt that his previous ideas were wrong.
It seems like the people in this club are really capable.
