Chapter 111 Before the Murder
When the group entered the living room, they found several men and women of similar age to Ohara Shotaro sitting around the table.
"Let me introduce you all. This is my niece, Kuno Nayazuki, and these are her friends." Ohara Shotaro put his arm around Kuno's shoulder as he introduced them.
Despite feeling nauseous, Kuno smiled and greeted them, "Hello, uncles and aunties, you can just call me Xiaoyue."
"Oh my, what a lovely girl! Come, come, sit next to Auntie!"
A short-haired woman moved aside, waved to Kuno, and patted the empty seat next to her.
“Okay.” Kuno nodded with a smile and sat down next to her.
The Mori and his companions were invited to sit down, and soon they were chatting with a group of people.
Mori even drank quite a bit of alcohol, and then Ran pinched the flesh on his hand to tell him to drink less.
Then, Shotaro Ohara, who had also drunk quite a bit, waved at her, "Oh, it's okay, it's alright to drink a little more..."
"Come on, the young lady is right, you should drink less!" The bespectacled woman who opened the door for them was named Fushimi Ami. She was sitting next to Kuno and smiled as she echoed Ran's words.
"Hey, it's not easy for everyone to get together today, let's be happy!" The man who spoke this time was named Matsuyama Kanta. He was a little chubby and had a rather large mole on the corner of his mouth, making him easy to remember.
“Yes, yes.” The other man, Konosuke Yamamuro, was clearly drunk, his face flushed, and he could only nod in agreement when he heard their conversation.
The short-haired woman who greeted Kuno Nayazuki and sat down next to her was named Nakazato Asaka. She took a sip of tea to help with her hangover, shook her head, and looked quite helpless. "Why should I care about them? They always get completely drunk."
Feeling that it was about time, Kuno Naya lowered her head and took a sip of juice, a glint of black light flashing in her clear, tea-green eyes.
While drinking, Shotaro Ohara hiccuped and suddenly stood up unsteadily. "Oh right, I just remembered that I said I was going to give something to Kuno. I need to go find where I put it."
He staggered upstairs, looking quite drunk, and nearly fell several times.
"Hey, hey, be careful!" Seeing this, Fushimi Ami stood up and quickly went to help him upstairs.
Asaka Nakazato watched them go upstairs, took a sip of tea, and stood up. "We're almost out of drinks, I'll go out and buy some more."
"Okay, I'll buy some snacks while I'm at it." Matsuyama Kanta raised his wine glass.
Asaka Nakazato looked at him and jokingly scolded, "Drink less."
As she spoke, she picked up her bag, put on her shoes, and went out.
She had only been gone a short while when Fushimi Ami came downstairs.
Seeing this, Konosuke Yamamuro shook his head and asked, "What is Ohara looking for?"
"I don't know either, it seems to be some kind of artifact or something." Fushimi Ami returned to the table and sat down, glancing around before asking in confusion, "Huh? Where's Asaka?"
"Aunt Asaka went out to buy something," Kuno Naya replied, holding her drink in both hands.
Fushimi Ami nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she chatted with Ran and the others, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
About half an hour later, Nakazato Asaka returned from outside, carrying drinks and snacks.
