Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

[Xiaolan, there are still 10 minutes left and today has passed. Why is this old man still not responding at all? 】

Winking at her daughter, Fei Yingli sat on the seat silently.

On the opposite side, Mori Kogoro was pricking up a bacon-wrapped asparagus with a fork at the moment, but the uncle who seemed full obviously had no intention of eating, he just put the food to his mouth and slowly took it away.

[Wait a minute, Mom, Dad, he must be embarrassed to do this. 】

Although she was equally anxious, Xiaolan could only glance at her watch quietly.This family was very strange in the eyes of the waiter. There were not many dining guests left around, and most of them went back to their rooms to wash up and go to bed. Only they were still sitting in front of a table of leftovers for nearly half an hour.

"I heard from the waiter just now that the banquet hall above was rented by someone today. I'm so curious. It would be very expensive to rent the entire floor here..."

Xiaolan put her hand to her mouth and asked her parents in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of banquet it is, I'm so curious..."

"It's a celebration of the Edogawa III movie!"

Thinking of what Yuzuki and Kaori said at the entrance of the movie theater during the day, Conan replied: "Brother Yuu, sister Kaori and sister Yuzuki will all come."

"It's a new movie. I just watched it yesterday with Sonoko. It was very nice this time."

The one-horned girl shook her hair: "Many recent cinemas in Tokyo are showing this movie."

The couple still didn't speak, and the air became tense again. Just when Fei Yingxi asked her husband directly, the sound of conversation coming from the door of the restaurant interrupted her.

"This guest, I'm really sorry, dogs are not allowed in our restaurant."

A waitress stands in front of a woman, and from the perspective of the Maori family, only the Samoyed around her legs can be seen.

"But I'm hungry?"

"I understand, but our restaurant..."

"Isn't a restaurant just a place that provides food for people?" The woman ignored the waiter and went straight into the restaurant. Only then did Xiaolan's family realize that she was dressed luxuriously and looked gorgeous.

"This is really... a rare beauty!" Mouri Kogoro's eyes widened, completely ignoring his angry wife opposite him. "It's completely different from the innocent and lovely Ms. Yoko!"

The lady walked slowly towards table No.15, sat down at table No.16 next to them, slowly picked up a menu, and called the waiter in French.

"Excuse me, please order for me."

Responding to him in fluent French, the waiter bowed and left after operating the tablet in his hand.

"Ah, are you going out to eat as a family? It's so cozy."

In somewhat broken Japanese, he greeted the Mori family at the next table. Belmod's eyes passed over Edogawa Conan and stopped at Xiaolan.

She originally planned to go to the toilet and take a look around, but unexpectedly found Xiaolan and Conan at the door of the restaurant on the fourteenth floor, and came in.

"Are you going out for dinner alone? Isn't it a bit..." After noticing that no one came in from the restaurant door, Xiaolan asked, but her parents poked her under the dining table.

It is impolite to ask such questions, and people are not necessarily happy to be asked by strangers.Judging from the clothes, even if the annual income of Fei Yingli and Mori Kogoro are combined, they probably can't afford it, so it can be concluded that she is not an ordinary person.

"I actually came to the banquet, but the food there didn't suit my taste very much, so I came down."

The lady politely answered Xiaolan's question and waited patiently for her food.
