Chapter 80: Subtlety

"I'm Karazawa Senichi. It's the first time we met. Please give me your advice."

Just after Sonoko brought the topic to her sister and Senichi, the two stepped forward and introduced themselves.

This is also normal social etiquette. Since the other party came to play with them, it means that the relationship is not bad. Naturally, they needed to be introduced.

Senichi did not expect that he would meet this "undefeated queen of the legal profession" in this situation. At the same time, he probably recalled this case in combination with the previous situation.

It was because Ran wanted her parents to reconcile, so she inquired about her mother's whereabouts, and then organized this trip.

But in Senichi's memory, Sonoko never appeared, let alone Ayako.

If this is the case, it feels like Sonoko is the leader of this change.

Senichi cast a glance at Sonoko, feeling more and more that his speculation was correct, but he didn't know the purpose... Cough, some uncertain guesses...

"It's the first time we've met. I'm Kisaki Eri. My little Ran has been taken care of by you."

Just as Senichi was thinking wildly, Kisaki Eri bowed slightly in return, and the three of them gathered together in a "social conversation" manner, finally diluting the embarrassing atmosphere between Kisaki Eri and Mouri Kogoro.

Everyone chatted for a while, only thinking that they happened to meet Kisaki Eri coincidently, completely unaware of the cold war between the Mouri couple, and enthusiastically proposed to play watermelon.

On the other hand, Conan, Senichi and even Ran tacitly agreed not to remind them of this matter.

After all, Sonoko's carefree character is really the best person to break this stalemate without knowing it.

On the other hand, Ayako noticed something. Senichi came to her and explained a few words in a low voice. She looked around, then looked at the enthusiastic Sonoko and smiled slightly, "I see."

"Why are you still standing there~" Sonoko put the watermelon not far away, and then ran back, "Come and hit the watermelon."

"Oh, coming~" Senichi echoed, and the three of them walked towards the beach.

So Sonoko and Ayako took Senichi and Conan into groups to play watermelon fights, while Ran and Kisaki Eri stood on the sidelines watching the battle and talking casually.

As for Mouri Kogoro, he was lying on the beach chair and admiring the beauties around him sullenly, but he soon recovered with a wretched expression on his face.

"Left! Left! Front!"

"Left! Right!! Cut!"

Accompanied by Sonoko's hasty words, Conan, who was holding a wooden sword at the side, slashed straight ahead.

The wooden sword hit the sand, splashing countless sand and spraying Conan's mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah!!"

Conan pulled off the eye strap, looked at the watermelon with his back facing him, pointed at the watermelon with drooping dead fish eyes, and said speechlessly, "Sister Sonoko, your command is a bit far behind."

"Tsk, it's obvious that you brat didn't listen to my command!" Sonoko clicked his tongue, dissatisfied.

"Then it's time for our team." Senichi put on the eye straps, and after circling around in place, he stood in place with a wooden sword in his hand to get ready and wait for instructions.

"Ahead!"

"Stop! Move horizontally to the left, then go straight!"

"It's crooked, go to the right, it's almost there!!"

"It's here, please chop it!!"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Senichi took off the eye straps, and in front of him was a watermelon that had been cracked by a wooden knife.

Afterwards, he carried the watermelon to the table, Senichi was in charge of cutting it, and Ayako distributed the cut watermelon to everyone.

"Oh, what a tacit understanding." After Sonoko harvested the watermelon, she watched the division of labor between the two and smiled narrowly.

"Eat it quickly." Senichi rolled his eyes and said, "Eating melons won't stop your mouth."

"I'm talking about the cooperation between the two of you." Sonoko took a bite of the watermelon, and pressed his free left hand on Conan's head, "It's much better than the two of us, isn't it, Conan."

"Well, it's really a tacit understanding! It's a good match!" Grandma Conan nodded and said this.

But even though he was pretending to be like this, the muscles at the corners of his mouth were tense, trying to force the corners of his mouth not to show a smile.

By this time, even Conan could see what Sonoko wanted to do. He didn't know whether he wanted to see Senichi's embarrassment or really liked the two of them together. He used his identity as a child to start a blatant assist.

"Sonoko! And Conan-kun too..." Ayako blushed suddenly when she heard Conan's "Child's Words Without Judgment", but unexpectedly she didn't refute.

"Kids, don't use words indiscriminately." Senichi took a watermelon and blocked Conan's mouth, "Eat your melon!"

At the same time, Senichi gave Conan a hard look, warning him not to talk, and there was a little panic under his calm expression.

With such an assist from Conan, Senichi became more and more sure of his previous speculation.

But he really didn't expect that such a young lady would take a fancy to him. The two of them only met a few times, so why do they have a good impression of him?

Am I that popular? Senichi fell into deep thought...

But in any case, judging from the current situation, it seems to be the case, but what if it is not?

What if it was just Sonoko messing around?

In fact, it's not that she is not interested in me, but because Sonoko was making noises, turning it into such an embarrassing situation.

After all, this is a gentle and virtuous daughter with a gentle personality, so it's impossible for her to express herself so simply.

You must know that one of the three major illusions in life is "he/she likes me!"

And if they really have a crush on yourself, what should you do? Senichi didn't think about this at all.

So, now, there is only one way! !

Senichi's eyes sharpened all of a sudden, and Conan shivered unconsciously when the sharp blade-like eyes projected towards him.

That half-smile expression, that meaningful eyes that unconsciously glanced to the side, made Conan immediately break out in a cold sweat.

"Ah~ I'm hungry, let's go eat!!"

After receiving a death stare from Senichi, Conan rolled his eyes, and quickly spoke again in a childish voice, changing the subject.

On the other hand, Ran was also worried about the cold war between her mother and father. Now that Conan said he wanted to eat, Ran immediately agreed.

After all, if you sit together while eating, you can't maintain a cold war in front of so many people... right...

However, Murphy's Law will be fulfilled on you at this time. Even at the dinner table, the two still have no sign of reconciliation.

After everyone ordered drinks, they patiently waited for the food to be served.

Mouri Kogoro, who really couldn't bear the stalemate atmosphere, stood up and said to go to the bathroom, while Ran who was on the side spoke nice words for his father.

However, Kisaki Eri showed her finger without a ring, and bluntly said that Mouri Kogoro didn't notice, maybe there was no hope, and she was thinking about starting her life again.

For this, Ran anxiously spoke good words for her father, but when Kogoro Mouri, who had not come back for a long time, came back, there were two young and beautiful girls beside him.
