Everyone was sitting around the long table happily enjoying their dinner, but the twin sisters sitting near the corner frowned at the plate in front of them with only broccoli as a side dish, and then frowned at their mother beside them.
"Mom, why don't we have any fish?" Takeda Sae pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
She and Emi both like to eat grilled saury, but today they are the only ones who have no fish, only the disgusting broccoli.
"I'm sorry, because we bought it based on the number of people we reserved." Takeda Yoko picked up the half of the saury in front of her and said with a smile, "How about I give it to you guys and you guys share half?"
"No, I want a whole one!"
Seeing this situation, Toyama Kazuha, who was sitting opposite, picked up the grilled saury in front of her and was about to pass it over, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by Hattori Heiji who was standing next to her.
"Wakaba, why do you still have a fish left? If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it for you!" As soon as Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he took a big bite of the whole saury, making Fujiwara Yuu who was sitting next to him roll his eyes.
What kind of action would someone with advanced male chauvinism do? It really depends on luck that this guy Hattori can get a girlfriend in the future. His emotional intelligence of always running away from home is really speechless.
Fujiwara Yuu glared at him, handed the grilled saury in front of him to Toyama Kazuha, and said:
"He Ye, please give this one to them. I don't eat fish anyway."
"Brother Takashi is still reliable." Toyama Kazuha said, not forgetting to glare at Hattori Heiji. She smiled at the quarreling Takeda Sae and Takeda Emi and said, "Little sister, can I trade this grilled fish for broccoli?"
The two sisters, who had been looking unhappy with their heads down, naturally showed joy when they heard that they could exchange the annoying broccoli for their favorite grilled fish. They praised Toyama Kazuha for being a good person and couldn't wait to make the exchange.
Hattori Heiji, who was still chewing the fish in his mouth with a low EQ, was hit by a punch from Fujiwara Yuu with 20% force, and almost spit out the fish in his mouth.
"Brother Yingsi, drink less, otherwise if you get hungover tomorrow, it will delay the investigation."
After hearing Hattori Heiji's suggestion, Fujiwara Yudan said that there was no problem. He had already trained his alcohol tolerance to a certain standard. People like him have many secrets, and they can't say things that shouldn't be said just because of alcohol.
"Well, I'll pay attention."
After three rounds of drinking, Takeda Shinichi, who had been pouring wine for Takagi Sosuke, was the first to get drunk. He stood up staggeringly and said to everyone:
"I'm almost done making the puppets, Officer Takashi. Please start investigating carefully tomorrow!"
"Yeah, no problem."
"Yongsan, don't you want to help your eldest brother? He seems a little drunk." Takeda Ryuji had no intention of helping him, but looked at his younger brother and asked.
Takeda Yuzo, who had barely eaten any food the entire time and had been enjoying himself, burped. He looked at his second brother with a dazed look on his face, a simple smile on his face, completely devoid of the fierce look he had when they first met.
"Hurry! Wait, wait a minute, there's no rush to have another drink!"
Fujiwara Yu, who had drunk a lot of alcohol but was still sober, glanced at Takeda Ryuji's expression out of the corner of his eye. He seemed to be a little concerned about Takeda Shinichi, but his body was very honest and had no intention of taking action at all.
It seems that the relationship between these two brothers is not very good.
"Um, Mr. Yongsan, could you lend me your car keys?" Robert Taylor put down his juice cup, a look of worry still lingering between his brows. He smiled wryly and said, "I want to pay my respects at Misa's grave."
"Are you going at this time?" Although Takeda Ryuji disliked Robert Taylor, if something happened so late, they would still be in trouble, so he asked this question.
Robert Taylor took out his SLR camera and explained with a smile:
"If you go now, you can just admire the moon and stars in front of the tomb. It must be beautiful to see the night sky halfway up the mountain."
"Really? Then can I go with you?" Yuanshan Heye asked excitedly.
Little girls would naturally like something as romantic as the starry sky. Besides, she went out with the intention of having fun this time, and it would be very boring if there were no interesting activities at night.
Hattori Heiji couldn't sit still when he heard this, even though he wanted to stay and investigate the case. He quickly stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and stared at Robert Taylor with an unhappy expression:
"I want to come too, is that okay?"
"sure."
Fujiwara Yuu suppressed his laughter and took out his car keys and handed them to Robert Taylor, saying:
"Drive my car. Off-road vehicles are safer on night roads."
"Thank you, Mr. Yingsi."
"You're welcome."
After watching the three people leave, dinner was almost over.
Yoko Takeda took her two children to take a bath first. There is a difference between living in the countryside in the mountains and in a big city like Osaka. Here people generally use firewood to boil hot water, and then pour the hot water into a wooden barrel bathtub for bathing.
Miyuki Shioya, the family's nanny, also picked out some easily digestible food, heated it in the microwave, and placed it in a wooden lunchbox. Upon questioning by Sosuke Takashi, it was discovered that the elderly woman in the family had a fixed dinner time and was reluctant to leave her room because she believed Mr. Negishi's death was a curse.
Fujiwara Yuu was speechless upon hearing this. This was truly too feudal and superstitious. There was no such thing as a curse in this world, let alone a man-eating spider monster. He was still a materialist after all, even if he had the power of wind.
