Chapter 919 Two Bottles of Wine



Ayumi and the others discussed for a few minutes about "what to eat for lunch".

As a staunch supporter of eel rice, Genta suggested at the very beginning of the discussion that we go out for eel rice together for lunch.

Unsurprisingly, this suggestion was immediately rejected.

It's not that they don't like eel rice, it's just that whenever they encounter this kind of problem, Genta doesn't even think about it and just orders eel rice.

I've had too much eel rice, so I wanted to try something different.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko weren't very picky and couldn't decide for the time being.

In the end, after discussing for several minutes without reaching a conclusion, they had no choice but to continue walking slowly along the road.

After walking a few more minutes, the group randomly found a roadside restaurant that sold eel rice and went in to have lunch.

The prices are very cheap. A bowl of beef rice costs only about 20 RMB, while eel rice is only slightly more expensive.

Although it's cheap, it tastes pretty good.

Especially when paired with the restaurant's own homemade sauce, it's absolutely amazing.

While everyone was eating, Conan's passive ability did not take effect, and there was no sudden death during the meal.

When everyone had finished eating and drinking and came out of the restaurant, it was already past one or two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Professor, let's go buy some takoyaki now!" Genta said to Professor Agasa as soon as he stepped out the door, pointing to a takoyaki shop across the street.

"Genta, aren't you full yet?" Mitsuhiko glanced at Genta speechlessly and wiped away non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.

"I'll take it home to eat!" Genta's reasoning was quite sound. "Didn't we agree to take one or two portions home for Mom and Dad?"

He wasn't really thinking of eating alone this time, since he had just eaten three servings of eel rice at the restaurant and wasn't very hungry.

"Then let's go," Professor Agasa said with a smile and a nod.

...

On the way to the shop, Kōyū suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Ai, "Ai, are we going to see a movie later?"

Although the camping trip ended early, the holiday continued. With this time and nothing much to do, Kōyū naturally wanted to take Ai out for some fun.

"Hmm..." Ai glanced at Kousuke, pretending to think for a moment, teasing him for a while, before nodding in agreement.

"Then let's go see it."

"Okay." Guangyou smiled and gently squeezed her hand.

I must say, it feels great.

So, Kōyū squeezed her hand again, successfully earning a roll of her eyes from Ai.

But Ai didn't pull her hand away; instead, she squeezed Kyou's hand instead.

He glanced at Ai, then looked down at their clasped hands, and smiled silently.

...

The money for the takoyaki wasn't paid by Professor Agasa.

On the way back, although it was agreed that Professor Agasa would treat everyone to takoyaki, when it came time to buy it, not only Kouyu but also Ayumi and the other two had to pay for it themselves.

They said these takoyaki were for their families, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Professor Agasa to treat them.

Despite being children, Ayumi and her two friends all come from very well-off families.

Of the three, Kōyū didn't know what Ayumi's parents did for a living, but the fact that she lived in a high-rise apartment showed that her family was quite well-off.

Mitsuhiko's parents are both teachers, and their economic status is definitely not bad.

Not only his economic status, but also the fact that he had to add the honorific "Mr." when addressing his teacher, shows that his parents' social status was not low either.

In Japan, the honorific title "sensei" is used not only by teachers, but also by lawyers, doctors, politicians, and other highly respected individuals.

As for the seemingly most ordinary Genta, his family also owns a small pub and a fish shop.

His family's business may not be booming, but the daily customer traffic is not low, and the economic level of the Yuan Tai family is definitely not low.

After all, if the economic conditions are not good, it is impossible to raise a child of Genta's size.

Although the three children come from families with good financial conditions, their parents do not want them to develop a habit of spending money extravagantly, so their allowance is not much.

However, buying a few boxes of takoyaki is perfectly sufficient.

In addition, at Mitsuhiko's suggestion, they also picked out a few small gifts at the nearby shopping mall to give to their parents.

Mitsuhiko, who made the suggestion, bought two fountain pens; Ayumi bought a straw hat and two bouquets of flowers; and Genta, being quite practical, bought a massager.

The first two had enough money, but the second one was 800 yen short.

Out of respect for the three children's filial piety, Guangyou paid out of his own pocket to cover the shortfall.

Although these three children occasionally get into trouble, they only mean well but end up doing bad things; they are kind at heart.

Seven or eight hundred yen isn't much; it's just the cost of a few meals. Kōyū didn't expect Genta to pay it back, so he secretly put the money on without Genta and the other two knowing.

"These three kids are actually quite likable." Professor Agasa stood to the side, watching the three of them discuss their parents' reactions to receiving gifts, stroked his beard, and said with a smile.

"Although they sometimes cause trouble, that's normal for kids."

Conan was well aware that the three children occasionally caused trouble, but he also believed that they were good at heart.

"It'll be fine when you grow up." Guangyou looked around, and finally his gaze settled on a counter selling high-end liquor.

Having stayed at Uncle Mori's house for so long, it shouldn't be too much to buy him a bottle of good wine, right?

And Xiaolan, buying her a piece of clothing should be fine too.
