Chapter 162 The Chaotic Wedding
It was almost dark when we finished eating.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at her watch and decided to finish her schedule before going home.
She had one more person to visit next.
The original Kudo Shinichi is now called Edogawa Conan.
But not to invite him to the wedding.
——I asked him not to come to the wedding.
There were still no adults in the Kudo residence. It was said that Kudo Yusaku and his wife went to Hawaii. Suzuki Sonoko found the six-year-old Conan at Professor Agasa's house next door.
Because she accidentally had someone overhear her inner thoughts last time, it was easy to feel awkward when they met again. On top of that, the intention was so bad that even though the target was the annoying Kudo, she almost couldn't speak for a while.
In the end, there is only a dry sentence:
"Don't come here."
Because of embarrassment, I added a rather redundant interjection...
Miss Suzuki lowered her head in frustration.
Kudo Shinichi: ...
Kudo Shinichi sighed: "Don't you know to look at people when you speak?"
This criticism helped Yuanzi regain his composure, and he immediately said, "Anyway, it's best if you don't come!"
"If you really want to see it, I'll arrange for someone to broadcast it live for you, okay? Anyway, you absolutely mustn't come!"
Kudo Shinichi has the appearance of a child, but he doesn't act like a child at all when he speaks. The way he sighs, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is an uncle who is suffering from a mid-life crisis.
"What's wrong with a few kids hanging out at the wedding..."
"Are you afraid that I might cause trouble?"
Yuanzi rolled her eyes at him on the spot.
"Provocation won't work. I know you're not that despicable. This matter affects our family for the next decade or so. Who will bear the responsibility? How can we face people? You won't bother me with this kind of thing—after all, you're obviously better at analysis than I am. There's no point in emphasizing this kind of thing to test me."
Kudo Shinichi said, "So let me go!"
"Didn't I invite my parents?"
"No!"
Yuanzi kept shaking her head and said, "My parents were the ones who sent out the invitations to your parents. I didn't realize it before!"
Then you just don’t realize it!
Kudo Shinichi said that even if it was fake, it was your first time walking into the wedding hall - I thought there was probably no hope of walking next to you, but in the end I couldn't even watch?
Although he also realized that Suzuki Sonoko was shy about his mentality, she wouldn't be so shy, right?
"Do you really know what a family friend is?"
"Even if we don't mention our old friendship, Edogawa Conan is still your family's adopted son!"
But no matter what he said, Suzuki Sonoko just shook her head.
"No means no."
Finally, she got fed up with his nagging—her patience with Kudo Shinichi was already very low—and she exploded right there, yelling, "You're not allowed to come anyway. If you come, how can I get married in peace?
After the shout, the air in the room became quiet.
Kudo Shinichi: ...
Kudo Shinichi scratched his ear: "What did you just say?"
"nothing!"
Suzuki Sonoko took a deep breath, picked up her bag, turned around and was about to leave, leaving behind a cold and aloof figure, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is really important!"
"Perhaps when viewed separately, the groom's identity and timing aren't important, but when taken together, the integrity and formality of this wedding are incredibly important. Don't try to interfere with me!"
"Hey, I'm serious."
Suzuki Sonoko turned around quickly, and her voice dropped to a level of grievance as she asked, "What do you want me to do to agree to stay home peacefully on your wedding day?"
Kudo Shinichi's smile at that time was so strange that it was hard to understand and describe, and Sonoko subconsciously took a step back.
"Let me see the photo."
A cute child's voice replied.
Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief and promised, "This is no big deal. I told you before that I can broadcast it to you, but as for the photos, you can only see me alone..."
——The groom is currently a prisoner on probation. As a former magician killer, he is being sought by many forces in the underworld.
She had already accidentally become a widow once because of Ebisu's suicidal behavior (it sounds weird to say that), so she didn't want to become a widow for the second time just a few days after her wedding because of a photo that was accidentally leaked.
Kudo Shinichi made a "tsk" sound and laughed.
"Don't worry."
I have to say he's quite cute when he's not annoying. The boy yawned, pushed his eyes away, and pouted: "I'm not interested in the groom myself."
"That's a deal then!"
Suzuki Sonoko asked again, "You're definitely not going to the wedding?"
"Yeah, it's a deal."
Kudo Shinichi hid in the shell of a little boy and lazily agreed: "I will definitely not go to your wedding."
—You've said it so much as if my going there would shake your heart, so why should I go there...
By the way, the child version of the famous detective rubbed his chubby chin thoughtfully: This time, did she do it on purpose, or did he misunderstand something again?
Why on earth don't you want me to watch you marry someone else?
They didn’t even show me the groom’s photo…
Kudo Shinichi had spent the past ten years without being able to develop the ability to accurately discern this matter. He hesitated for only a moment before making a conclusion based on his own preferred logic.
Just assume she really means it.
Under the street light outside the door, Suzuki Sonoko visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, Kudo Shinichi isn't coming!
Miss Suzuki's heart, which had been lifting slightly, finally settled back into her stomach: If he didn't come, then she wouldn't have to worry about finding a body with a mysterious death in the kitchen, warehouse, garden, under the counter of the hall, or some other mysterious place at the wedding venue!
——Is a wedding a day where someone can die at any time?
A wedding without an ideal witness is inherently imperfect. You absolutely don’t want it to become a crime scene and be sealed off by the police with yellow and black tape!
What should I do if the police take my wedding ring as evidence?
====
The period before the ceremony begins can probably be considered as the preparation period.
But as soon as the date arrives, the oppressive feeling it brings will naturally come to people's hearts.
Suzuki Sonoko wore a long robe-like "wedding dress" with a tail that was more than three meters long and the thick fabric felt very heavy to the touch.
Although the groom's clothes were simple, Kiritsugu Emiya was wearing a pair of invisible shackles.
Getting married is as tiring as being tortured.
Really, Miss Suzuki sighed tiredly, it's quite imperfect.
——Originally, the bridesmaid should have been perfect, after all, it was Xiaolan who was in that position.
It turned out that Xiaolan didn't come alone.
Accompanying her was her eldest cousin, who was forcibly sent from Kamakura to Tokyo by her mother because she needed to see a doctor.
But this Maori cousin...
As Xiaolan said, he has a gloomy temperament, but he doesn't seem to be a very calm person.
The moment Suzuki Sonoko looked up and saw him, the expression on her face was so turbulent that it was almost incomprehensible.
If I really have to describe it, I can say it was a gnashing of teeth.
Suzuki Sonoko was so frightened that she subconsciously touched her face.
——I always feel that... if her eyes could be sharpened, she would have been cut into several pieces just by that glance just now.
"This is?"
Mao Lilan introduced: "My cousin, Mao Li Kiri Ren."
Ever since Wu Renjun broke his head while climbing a snowy mountain, his personality has changed drastically and he doesn't like to talk to people. He used to be happily isolated in the backyard, but when the vacation was about to end, he inexplicably figured it out.
The eldest young master said he had to see a doctor right away and no one could stop him. In the end, he took the opportunity when Kogoro Mouri brought his daughter home and followed them to Tokyo.
Suzuki Sonoko thought to herself that instead of becoming autistic due to a head injury, your cousin has clearly become a psychopath!
But this was Xiaolan's cousin after all, so she silently shut her mouth.
The uncle in charge of makeup diligently applied makeup to her lips.
As a result, Maori's eldest cousin was wearing a long black windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets. He started walking around the room for some reason, and there was a condescending look on his face.
This caused the housekeeper, Grandpa, who was accompanying him in the house, to feel inexplicably unhappy about the provocation.
The next second, Wu Renjun simply walked to the dressing mirror, touched the bride's hanging hair without any hesitation, then lowered his head leisurely and put the golden brown hair ends to his nose and sniffed.
A very long and lingering kind of smell.
"I was right," his voice was filled with a cold smile, so low that it was almost just his lips moving. "It's you."
Suzuki Sonoko shivered on the spot as if someone had hit her death point.
Who is it?
To be honest, Sonoko felt that her eldest cousin was seriously mentally ill. This sudden sense of crisis was not entirely due to her nervousness - mentally ill people are likely to have violent tendencies!
She tried to pull back her hair calmly, not even daring to turn her head. She just turned around and asked Xiaolan worriedly:
"Do you need me to introduce you to a doctor?"
Xiaolan: "...You are getting married soon, shouldn't you focus on the groom?"
Sonoko thought that since Emiya Kiritsugu's son and daughter hadn't made it to the scene, that guy would probably think she was trying to make him hesitate when he saw the guest list. Even if he went to the groom's preparation room, he would only see the face of an old man who looked like he had lost all hope in life.
——"We're having such a happy time getting married, why don't you always mention people who spoil the fun?"
Xiaolan: ...
Xiaolan: Is there anyone... who still feels that the groom is a spoiler on their wedding day?
She glanced at the next room from a distance. Although there was a curtain blocking it, the lounge was actually the so-called "crystal building". The wall between the bride and groom was made of a large piece of transparent glass.
Besides, the curtains were not even drawn tightly at this moment. If she turned her head slightly, she could see the quiet profile of the groom next door.
But apart from her, even the housekeeper didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Instead, the old man began to comfort her and said, "Miss Xiaolan, don't worry. The doctor you chose before is sitting here now. When you go out to see him later, you can ask him first..."
Just as the character "人" was about to fall to the ground, the drink in the bride's hand fell to the ground.
"ah!"
Xiaolan hurriedly helped her wipe her hands: "Yuanzi, be careful, the ceremony is about to begin, what should I do if the juice splashes on my skirt?"
Suzuki Sonoko seemed to be stuck, and turned to look at the butler, "Who are you talking about?"
Hopefully, the one who came was a real doctor!
She screamed madly in her heart: Make sure it’s a real doctor!
However, the old butler remained unmoved and coldly explained, "It's your therapist, so it's normal for him to be present. When the last treatment was completed, I handed the doctor an invitation at the instruction of Master Jirokichi."
very good.
Yuanzi's crazy heart suddenly calmed down: No need to look at it, since it is the invitation letter given during the last treatment, the doctor coming must not be a real doctor.
By the way, when Aizen Sosuke comes to such an occasion, isn’t he worried that he will be caught by the high-ranking officials of Tokiin who are attending the wedding?
wrong.
Princess Suzuki belatedly realized: the Golden Old Man's time was approaching, the Imperial Pillar Tower was under martial law, and there wasn't a single judicial officer at her wedding banquet today!
Xiaolan didn't know why she suddenly became silent again, but Sonoko's personality has been like this since she was a child, so she adapted well to the sudden change.
It's just that my cousin is so embarrassing...
Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at her from the other side of the glass wall, and she felt that her height was about to shrink by ten centimeters - if her cousin's hand didn't leave Sonoko's hair, she would be so scared that she would fall to the ground!
Miss Mao Lilan, who was known for her amazing karate skills, took a deep breath and pulled her eldest cousin out of the lounge.
"Why do you do this..."
Xiaolan exclaimed, "It's so embarrassing to touch a girl's hair. Sonoko is getting married!"
——After she finished scolding him, she realized that her cousin was a mentally ill person, and her tone was a bit inappropriate.
So he stamped his foot in frustration and frantically explained, "I don't mean to blame Kirihito-kun, but although this isn't a traditional marriage filled with love and expectation, from a ritual perspective, it's still a wedding that the Suzuki family attaches great importance to..."
"So," the girl clenched her fists and said seriously, "Kirito-kun, please don't do such rude things!"
"ha?"
Mao Lilan: ...
Mao Lilan: "'Ha' is not an answer at all!"
——Do you know that you should give a definite answer?
- Don't think I won't attack you just because you're my cousin. It's easy to capture you, okay?
——Didn’t you know that the strongest power in the Conan universe is karate?!
However, Maori Kirin remained unmoved.
He asked, "What do you mean by 'not a traditional wedding'?"
Mao Lilan: "Huh?"
Wu Renjun curled his lips and said, "Answer me, what does 'not full of love and expectation' mean?"
Mao Lilan looked at his raven black eyelashes, her mouth opened silently, and then slowly closed.
Something is not right.
Mao Lilan thought: Mao Li Kiri Ren, there seems to be something wrong.
——From the very beginning, she felt that this cousin was completely different from what her aunt said, but she could not find the reason for the change.
Or rather, because she had never experienced his previous state, it was difficult for her to judge his current temper.
only……
What does it have to do with the garden?
Ran Mao Li looked at the other person's back as he walked away on his own, and subconsciously wanted to go back to the lounge to check and see if Sonoko was still safe.
Maori Kirihito had been staying at home all the time, but when they said goodbye, he suddenly agreed to leave Kamakura and come to Tokyo with them, and even attend such a troublesome social occasion as a wedding. Why did he do that?
A not-so-distant memory emerged from my mind:
After she finished talking to Sonoko on the phone that day, she learned that the wedding date had been set and the issue of the heir seemed to have been settled. She happily threw her phone on the table and rushed over to tell her father about it.
At that time, Wu Renjun... seemed to be sitting on the sofa opposite her.
I don’t know if it was psychological suggestion that tampered with my past memories, but when Xiaolan thinks back on the past now, she feels that there are many strange details that she has overlooked due to her carelessness.
For example, her phone wallpaper is a new photo of Fuyuki and Sonoko that she took while he was in the hospital.
——Just like the moment Wu Ren saw her phone desktop light up, his pupils fluctuated violently, contracting and then dilating.
For example, when she mentioned her friend's upcoming wedding, Wu Renjun unexpectedly agreed to come out for dinner, holding a broken and deformed napkin in his hand.
For example, on the way here, he had a violent emotion hidden under his indifference, as if he was expecting something.
And the peak of emotions.
Xiaolan suddenly thought: It was probably the moment when she grabbed Yuanzi's hair.
After thinking about it, she became even more worried. Her eldest cousin was essentially a patient!
As a result, she followed the direction of the departing figure, but she didn't see anyone until she ran out of the courtyard.
Finally, after walking around the forked path, I saw Maori Kirin standing face to face with a strange white-haired man under the pavilion near the back door.
Both of them looked very relaxed, and judging from their posture, they could even be said to be leisurely and relaxed.
But between the two leisurely and relaxed people, a magical force field that was extremely dazzling was formed for no reason.
In broad daylight, a chilling breeze suddenly blew over, making one's forehead shiver.
Ran Mao Li looked at the top of the white-haired man's head and tilted her head in confusion.
Are those... fox ears?
