Chapter 151

"Is this dress... too exaggerated?"

After coming out of the dressing room, Kono Seira was silent in front of the mirror for a long time, but he couldn't help but speak up: "The party tonight is not particularly formal, in fact, I can wear my old clothes."

While he was talking, Collom, who had brought the dress over, took a few photos from different angles and was very satisfied with the result: "This is very suitable."

It fits... but it fits too well.

This kind of clothes that are obviously purely handmade and custom-made are not only expensive, but also take a long time to make. Kono Seiryoshi has never measured the size specifically, but after putting it on, the size is so accurate that it is frightening.

What a terrible emperor's new clothes.

"Shengliang rarely wears white at banquets. It looks so good. He will definitely be the focus of the whole place." Colom stood side by side with him, smiling and gesturing at the mirror, "It would be a pity if he didn't wear it."

Kono Seiryoshi imagined the scene: "..."

"I'd better change it...!"

Without saying anything else, I feel like Senior Hibari will first arrest me for the crime of gathering in a group.

Seeing that he really wanted to go back to the locker room, Colom sighed helplessly, his expression heavy and gloomy, as if he had finally made a major decision in his life.

Kono Seiryoshi was frightened by her appearance and immediately changed his words: "Actually, white is also good. I'd better wear this one - okay, Chlom?" he asked cautiously.

Chlom carefully looked around and made sure that there was no third person present. Then he whispered to Kono Seira, "Actually, Lord Mukuro asked me to send this dress over, but he told me not to tell you. Don't tell anyone."

Kono Seiryoshi widened his eyes slightly, paused for a few seconds to digest this secret, and his consciousness slid back into the mirror.

The person in the mirror is wearing a pure white shirt, a collar and pleated scarf of the same color, with a sapphire in the middle of the collar, a long suit jacket and gloves with a shawl, and a black corset with pure silver decorations that match the earrings and rings.

In fact, the colors and matching of the whole set are not complicated, but when put together, it makes people wonder "Is it too grand...?"

Kono Seira was not surprised that Rokudo Mukuro chose the dress himself. After all, he was the kind of person who would act for random reasons like "the uniform looks better" or "the name sounds nicer."

To his surprise, this outfit had absolutely nothing to do with Rokudo Mukuro's style.

As soon as he came to his senses, he met Chrom's eyes that seemed to see through everything. The purple-haired woman asked with a smile: "Did Shengliang and Mukuro-sama quarrel?"

"It's not really a quarrel..." Gongye Shengliang hesitated, "It's a fair and just debate."

Chlom understood: "You two can be very stubborn sometimes."

"Why do you say that..."

Kouno Seira complained a little and stared at the time on his phone for a while, "Will Mr. Mukuro come again?"

He sent out the invitations but received no reply. However, Rokudo Mukuro rarely replied to such tedious things, so he was undecided at the moment.

Chlom said: "We have to avoid Mr. Hibari, so we will probably arrive a little late." It's impossible for him not to come. Photos alone are not enough. Lord Mukuro must see with his own eyes the effect of the clothes on a person!

Kono Seiryoshi couldn't hear her inner thoughts and strongly agreed with the first half of the sentence.

It’s better to stay away. That’s what you should do. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, he will be the one who has the headache.

He faced the mirror, thought for a moment, and tucked his hair behind his ears.

Put on a handsome suit and comb your hair like an adult...?

----

When the first star rose in the night sky, the Fengji Foundation Collection Exhibition was held as scheduled.

Complementing the incredible collections collected from all over the world, the crystal lamps reflect dreamy light and colors, and the dew-covered variants of Gloriosa lilies are bright and charming.

The banquet hall is divided into two parts, one for visitors and the other for resting and eating.

Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Conan Edogawa's ear and warned him, "This is not my house, little brat, don't run around, do you hear me?" He responded calmly on the surface, but when he turned around he revealed speechless half-moon eyes.

Standing next to the doctor, Chafa Lolita, who was pretending to be a good little girl, crossed her arms and snorted in a haughty manner.

Conan gritted his teeth, grabbed the doctor's clothes and whispered, "Forget about the Sonoko guy, but why is the doctor here?"

Dr. Agasa laughed twice, straightened his back and was quite complacent: "You don't know this, Shinichi, the Fuuki Foundation sponsored my invention, so Ai-kun and I also received an invitation."

What a strange company that actually sponsors the doctor, Conan thought to himself, and the name itself is very strange.

He was ordered not to run around, and was bored, so he wandered over to Xiaolan and Sonoko with a glass of juice. He happened to hear Sonoko's puzzled voice:

"The Fengji Group is a very important partner of my family, but strangely, I have never heard of this person..."

He interrupted curiously: "Sister Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

"We were talking about the organizer who invited us to the banquet," Sonoko waved her hands and tried to recall, "It's a very rare surname. I remember it was... Kimino? Oh, this name is embarrassing. I wonder if he is a handsome guy~"

Seeing Sonoko holding her face in her hands and falling into infatuation again, Conan's mouth twitched speechlessly.

However, Kimino sounded a little familiar. He remembered that brother Kono, whom he had met twice before, seemed to also work in a large company nearby.

Just as I was thinking, I was suddenly dragged behind the dining table: "What's the name of the person you just mentioned?"

The brown-haired girl's face was abnormally pale, and her cyan eyes stared at him closely, "Tell me!"

"Habara? What's wrong with you?" Conan was startled by her abnormal behavior. The next second, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened behind the lens and he lowered his voice anxiously, "Is he related to the organization?!"

"..." Huiyuan Ai regained her composure and slowly withdrew her hand, "...I don't know." The girl lowered her voice and was tinged with loss, "I know someone with the same name, but he is no longer here."

Conan was stunned and was about to say something when he suddenly heard Sonoko's almost suppressed scream.

"Ran! Am I seeing this right, Ran? A super handsome guy!" She shook Mao Li Ran excitedly, her voice rising several degrees, "Ahhh, he's looking this way!!"

Conan Edogawa (Kudo Shinichi ver) showed a speechless expression for the umpteenth time tonight: Sonoko's nymphomaniac problem will never be cured in her lifetime.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Conan still looked honestly in the direction that Sonoko was pointing excitedly.

He only saw half of the profile and immediately understood that it was indeed the Kimino he knew.

Mr. Kono was wearing a white dress that perfectly outlined his graceful features. His long sideburns were hanging down, while the other side was completely slicked up, revealing half of his smooth forehead.

Although it was beautiful enough when I encountered it before, the shocking value now has doubled, and it is almost lethal.

Sonoko is not the only one who is insane.

When the young man was stopped and spoken to, he kept a calm and composed face, without any impatience. He smiled and whispered something, and the person who was speaking to him stopped moving in a daze.

Eh? Are you really coming this way?

While Conan was still in surprise, the gray-haired young man had already greeted Sonoko and Ran with a smile. Not to mention Sonoko, whose eyes had turned loving due to her obsession with beauty, even Ran seemed a little shy and her face flushed slightly while they were talking.

Conan Edogawa suddenly felt a sense of crisis and was about to pretend to be a child making a fuss to distract the attention, but his foot tripped over the leg of the table in his anxiety.

He heard Ran's scream of "Conan!" and just when he was about to fall face first onto the ground, a pair of hands held him steady.

"It's really easy to trip there, are you okay?"

A clear voice sounded, and Conan stood up awkwardly, touching his head and grinning: "Hahaha, thank you, Brother Gongye."

Kono Seiryoshi also smiled, then his eyes paused for a moment and turned to the other side.

The little girl with brown hair seemed to be extremely shy. She grabbed the edge of an adult's clothes and hid behind them, with only a pair of blank eyes staring at him.

He half squatted down and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you like the snacks?"

The girl lowered her head in panic, clenched the fabric with both hands, and whispered: "I haven't tasted it yet..."

"I guess you'd like chestnut black tea flavored cake." Because it's similar to the color of your hair.

Kouno Seira narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm glad you came, Ai-kun."

He stopped talking without saying anything more. He stood up and nodded to Professor Agasa. Just as he was about to leave, the girl's voice suddenly rang out from behind him, trembling slightly and raising her courage: "That...!"

Gongye Shengliang was surprised and looked back.

The blue in Huihara Ai's eyes almost rolled down, but she bit her lip and showed a small, crescent-shaped smile: "Next time we meet, I will tell you the taste."

"..." Gongye Shengliang's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded with a smile.

"good."

----

At the end of the first half, the work matters were almost taken care of. Seira Minano slipped into the small garden, wanting to take a breather and rest for a while, and then go back when the second half started.

He was afraid of messing up his hair, so even when he was resting he sat in a very proper posture, leaning on the swing and not daring to move. His mind was completely empty as he counted the petals of a rose beside him.

Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven...

"Excuse me, sir, I would like to check the order of serving the second half of the meal."

He stretched out his hand without much energy, "Okay, give it to me."

Thirty-eight, thirty-nine...

With his hand halfway extended, Gong Ye Shengliang suddenly woke up. The next second when he looked up, he met the smiling purple-gray eyes behind the lens.

"zero……"

He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "When did you come here?"

Furuya Rei - now he is a private detective named Amuro Toru who loves to work part-time. He wears a waiter's uniform and a pair of bulky black-framed glasses for disguise.

In fact, Kimino Seira invited him to attend the banquet as a guest, but considering that it would be inconvenient to meet the shrunken Shirley, Furuya Rei disguised himself as a waiter and helped very skillfully and professionally.

"When you counted to twenty-three?" Furuya Rei joked, "You were counting very attentively."

"Don't laugh at me..."

Gongye Shengliang's face was a little hot. He rubbed against the swing and patted the empty space beside him. "Do you want to sit for a while?"

Just as Fūya Rei had his hands on the swing, he suddenly heard footsteps behind the flower tree - someone was coming.

He paused, then quickly turned to the back of the swing, lowered his head and carefully examined the swing, as if he was a foreman reporting on his work, but in fact he was vigilantly paying attention to his surroundings.

Kono Seira wanted to persuade Furuya Rei not to be nervous, but when he saw who was coming, he couldn't help but get nervous, "Naka... Naka."

"I seemed to see you coming over just now," Nakahara Chuuya loosened his tie somewhat unnaturally, "I didn't have a chance to speak at the banquet."

As a representative of Mori Corporation, Nakahara Chuuya attended the event in a formal suit. He did not want to cause trouble, so when someone recognized his identity as a gravity user of the Port Mafia, he warned them with his eyes.

He noticed the waiter behind him, but didn't pay much attention to him. He just thought he was a staff member. He covered his lips and coughed, "This dress suits you very well... It looks good."

Kono Seira suppressed his inexplicable nervousness, raised his eyes and smiled, "Chuuya looks very handsome today too."

He did not play it perfunctory. Nakahara Chuuya was wearing a black suit with a dark red vest embroidered with dark patterns underneath. It was low-key yet gorgeous, and the colors matched well.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongye Shengliang froze, and suddenly remembered that there was someone behind him.

What should I do…?

"You're also very handsome, the waiter in the back!" Are you saying this...?

Nakahara Chuuya curled his lips, slowly relaxed his posture, and sat next to him. "By the way, are you free this weekend?" he asked in a casual tone.

Kono Seiryoshi: "Weekend——"

A muffled cough sounded from behind.

Kono Seiryoshi: “…”

What to do? He didn't know if he was free.

He hesitated to speak, thinking hard. His eyes swept across the corridor behind the flower trees and he vaguely saw two figures.

Kono Seira:!

Why are there so many people in this remote little garden? Leave the little garden alone!

He quickly withdrew his gaze, but the man opposite was so sharp that he could detect even the slightest breath that was almost invisible. He turned around and walked towards him.

Nakahara Chuuya waited for his answer with a burning gaze.

There is a sight behind you whose presence cannot be ignored.

On the other side of the flower tree, Yu Shou's hearty laughter and Lan Shou's low murmurs were getting closer and closer.

Kono Seiyoshi: ...off-field assistance!

But there is no such thing...!

He pretended to be calm but actually opened his mouth guiltily, without uttering a single syllable.

Suddenly there was a "bang"!

Without warning, thick fog exploded before my eyes.

The author has something to say:

Because it is so beautiful, I couldn't help but describe it a little more. I think you can understand me when you see the cover (tears burst out)

The next chapter will write about 27’s memories!
