Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 517 We still need to buy a dress; if you can't wear it all, I'll come home and tear it up for you!
After exchanging pleasantries with Akiba Reiko for a while, Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group took their seats at the very front of the concert hall, waiting for Akiba Reiko and Kawabe Kanade to sing a duet.

At this moment, Akiba Reiko and Kawabe Kanade had arrived on the stage and were making final adjustments.

"Oh, what did you say to Ms. Akiba Reiko just now?"

Akiko Yonehara, who was sitting next to Natsuhiro Kitahara, leaned closer and asked a question in a low voice.

Several people nearby also perked up their ears to listen, especially Sera Masumi, who was very curious.

After all, she's not Conan, who can use his small stature to eavesdrop without restraint.

Of course, she knew a little about Akiba Reiko's situation, but not much. She only knew that Akiba Reiko was in some trouble, and that was about it.

Reiko Akiba also left early and returned late, so she didn't have much contact with Reiko Akiba.

Her mother had eaten a late-night snack at Kitahara Natsuyu's house, and the two had a conversation, but she didn't tell her what they talked about.

In any case, this is Akiba Reiko's private matter, and Sera Mary naturally wouldn't say much to her daughter unless she got the other party's consent.

"It's still about that incident from last time," Kitahara Natsuhiro explained.

"That's it"

Akiko Yonehara nodded and didn't press the matter further. She reiterated that this was Reiko Akiba's private matter, and they had no right to interfere.

"By the way, what kind of dress should I wear to the concert this time?"

"Or should I just wear the dress from my closet?"

Upon hearing this, everyone started discussing it.

Although a concert is not a banquet, you still need to dress up nicely.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Why don't we just buy a new one? It's not like we don't have money. You don't need to save me money."

Akiko Yonehara rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not trying to save you money. It's just that I only wore the dress once or twice after buying it. I won't be able to wear it that many times even if I buy another one. It would be a waste."

“You’re saving me money.” Kitahara Natsuyu turned around and gently pulled on Yonehara Akiko’s cheeks with both hands. “Besides, you’re so pretty and have such a great figure, you definitely need to wear more nice clothes.”

"So you definitely need to buy a lot of clothes. Don't worry about wasting them. I can just help you get rid of them all, so you won't feel bad about it!" He stroked his chin and smiled brightly.

Upon hearing this, Akiko Yonehara, Vermouth, and Ai Haibara couldn't help but twitch their cheeks.

They understood exactly what Kitahara Natsuhiro meant, but it was also the literal meaning.

Because Kitahara Natsuhiro would actually dispose of these clothes by hand, but only by tearing them into pieces.

After all, it's nighttime, and clothes are meant to be torn, what else can they be used for!?

Xiao Lan and the others didn't know much about this, but some curious ones couldn't help but ask.

"What do you mean by 'get rid of the clothes'?" Xiaolan asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu remained silent, but Yonehara Akiko, who was closest to Ran, hurriedly tried to explain, though she couldn't really explain the issue and could only give a vague answer.

Amidst this ambiguity, Sonoko seemed to understand something, her cheeks flushed, and she spat.

And Koizumi Akako and Sera Masumi are the same.

Koizumi Akako is a witch, not an ordinary person. She knows far more than the average person, even these kinds of things, all of which her mother told her.

As for Sera Masumi, she's pretty much the same way. This shows the importance of mothers. Let me tell you some common sense.

Ran, on the other hand, couldn't understand this. Eri Kisaki had been separated from Kogoro Mouri since she was very young, and that separation lasted for ten years. As a result, she only had a vague understanding of some things, let alone the suggestive words of Kitahara Natsuhiro. She really didn't understand them.

"Don't say those things." Vermouth's fair little hand pinched Kitahara Natsuyu's waist hard through his clothes.

Anyway, Kitahara Natsuyu is thick-skinned and not afraid at all.

But Kitahara Natsuyu actually tried to corrupt my Ran with strange knowledge this time. I'm really going to teach him a lesson this time.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

"And there are children here, so let's keep quiet about these things!" Ai couldn't help but complain.

However, with Professor Agasa leading the group, they seemed to be chatting away and didn't notice what was happening here.

However, Conan, who was sitting to the side, seemed to know something as well, and couldn't help but complain: "Heh, Kitahara Natsuhiro, that big pervert!"

"He's already on par with Uncle Mori, no, wait."

"That Uncle Mori and Kitahara Natsuhiro are insulting Kitahara Natsuhiro."

"Uncle Mori is just a womanizer. Kitahara Natsuhiro is a little bit better than Uncle Mori, but only by a tiny bit."

Just then, Conan suddenly shivered, turned his head and met Kitahara Natsuhiro's eyes, and immediately put on a flattering smile.

Because he knew that Kitahara Natsuyu had once again spied on his inner thoughts.

Although he didn't know how Kitahara Natsuhiro did it, he knew that his inner thoughts had indeed been spied on.

And he had no power to resist, so...
Admitting defeat is the best course of action; when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head!

"Ahem." Just then, Kitahara Natsuyu coughed twice, interrupting Yonehara Akiko, who was still explaining to Koran: "The chorus is about to begin."

"We'll talk about other things later."

Upon hearing this, no one said anything more, but instead turned to look at the stage.

At this moment, violinist Kawabe Kanade and soprano Akiba Reiko stood in the center of the stage, while an elderly man with gray hair sat in front of this huge instrument.

This is Kazuki Domoto, the founder of Domoto Music Academy and also an organist. However, he used to play the piano, and the old man, Takumi, is Kazuki Domoto's personal tuner.

Furthermore, the radicalization of the shoku and taku, and their use of bombs, are somewhat related to Domoto Kazuki.

Domoto Kazuki discovered that there was a slight discrepancy between the score, which had perfect pitch, and Takumi's tuning of the piano, which caused a problem with the piano's tone.

However, out of consideration for the pride of the pianist and the craftsman, he did not tell him, and instead moved from the field of piano to the field of organ.

This is one of the reasons that drove the scribe and the craftsman to complete madness.

Because the score and the taku believed that Domoto Kazuki had betrayed him and the piano, they wanted to take revenge on the Domoto Concert Hall and make everyone perish with him.

All I can say is that Pu Hejiang is a truly insane old man!

At that moment, melodious music filled the concert hall, with the organ and violin playing together, and Akiba Reiko joining in the harmonies.

The beautiful sound filled the entire venue at that moment.

Upon hearing this beautiful sound, many people closed their eyes and began to listen intently to the melodious sounds and instruments. "It's truly beautiful!"

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded, thinking to himself.

However, he didn't understand music, but he thought the voice and melody were very nice, more than ten thousand times better than Conan's singing!

For some reason, he had actually experienced Conan's singing voice firsthand, and it was truly awful.

As the saying goes, some people sing for money, some people sing for their lives, and Conan is the one who sings for their lives.

However, Conan's voice is still a bit inferior to Kitahara Natsuhiro's "The Song of the End".

Because the Song of the End really can be deadly.

But so far, Kitahara Natsuhiro has not shown his singing voice to perform the Song of the End, because there is no need!
Immediately, Kitahara Natsuyu also closed his eyes and began to listen attentively to the beautiful melody and singing.

After an unknown amount of time, the music and singing in the concert hall gradually faded away, and everyone opened their eyes at that moment.

However, they can still hear the beautiful singing and melody from before.

It truly lingered for three days, its melody resonating endlessly.

Bang bang bang.
I don't know who clapped first, but then everyone else started clapping too, and applause filled the entire concert hall.

"This collaboration is fantastic! I can already see the grand spectacle of the concert that day," said Kenji Domoto, Domoto Kazuki's son, standing up excitedly.

He is Genya Domoto, not only the son of Kazuki Domoto, but also a musician who graduated from the same school, only he is not as talented as his father.

“That’s right, that’s right!” A foreign business partner shared the same thought.

Upon hearing this, Akiba Reiko, Kawabe Kanade, and Domoto Kazuki stood at the very front of the stage and bowed to the crowd.

"Thank you so much, everyone," Domoto said with a wave of his hand.

"It sounds so good!" Ayumi's face was full of a happy smile.

How could one not be happy to hear such beautiful sounds in this place?

Moreover, tickets for this concert are generally unavailable to the average person, making it impossible for them to attend.

This concert can be described as a grand feast for Japan, and those who will attend will all be dignitaries and important figures.

Because most people wouldn't accept such an invitation.

"That sounds so good!" Genta nodded vigorously and said, "If we could have this older sister guide us in our medley, then our class's choir could win first place."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko glared at Genta with obvious displeasure: "Kid, are you saying I'm not a good singer?!"

Yuan Tai quickly waved his hand and said, "No, that's not what I meant. I just think this older sister sings even better!"

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, who were standing nearby, were in the same boat.

Sonoko really couldn't refute that, because it was the truth.

Sonoko's singing voice is at best decent, but compared to a professional soprano like Reiko Akiba, it's nothing and she can't compare at all.

"You wretched brat!" Sonoko gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do but cross her arms and turn her head away.

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi couldn't help but chuckle.

Professor Agasa then looked at Sonoko and began to apologize.

After all, he is the guardian of these three children under these circumstances, and saying such things is indeed very hurtful!
“Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, go apologize to Sonoko. You really don’t know how to be grateful!” Kitahara Natsuyu crossed his arms and looked at them: “It’s already good enough that someone helps you practice singing, yet you still ask for so much.”

"And you were only able to get in because of the garden."

"You don't want to be turned away from people lately, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Genta and the other two immediately straightened up, quickly went to Sonoko's side, and bowed directly to apologize.

"Sister Sonoko, I'm sorry, we were wrong!"

"It's good that you know you were wrong, I forgive you!" Sonoko wasn't really angry, and since the children had apologized, she forgave them.

A bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

While this little incident was happening, the people on the other side of the stage started talking. Since it was all about music, they didn't have a chance to interrupt.

"Oh, right." Just then, Professor Agasa suddenly remembered something and looked at everyone, saying, "Would you like to hear my riddle?"

"A riddle?" Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then a strange expression appeared on their faces.

Conan, in particular, had his lips twitching, and he was internally ranting: "That Dr. Agasa, he's going to have another corny joke riddle game again. Seriously, why is he so obsessed with corny joke riddles!"

He thought these were just corny jokes and riddles, but Dr. Agasa felt that these riddles represented his life's worth of lexical aesthetics, and he wouldn't be satisfied if he couldn't pass them on to others.

That's how the most famous corny joke guessing game in Detective Conan came about, and it always appears in every movie.

Upon hearing this, everyone became somewhat excited.

After all, they haven't experienced many theatrical versions yet, and because of Kitahara Natsuyu, the plot of some theatrical versions hasn't even unfolded.

Therefore, they knew very little about Professor Agasa's corny jokes and riddles.

Conan, however, knew this very well, because Professor Agasa lived next door to him, and...
"Sigh, another corny joke riddle." Genta couldn't help but complain.

Because of their relationship with Professor Agasa, they had heard many of his corny jokes and riddles.

Not only Yuan Tai complained, but everyone else did too, and after learning the final answer, they felt really cold, as if it were the dead of winter.

But since we're already here, let's listen to some corny jokes and riddles!
Anyway, there's nothing else to do.

"Doctor, please begin your performance!" Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa coughed twice, straightened up, and then began to tell his corny riddle.

Upon hearing the riddle, Conan, Sera Masumi, Ai, and Vermouth all showed a strange expression, but none of them said anything.

The same applies to Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Because he had seen it before and knew the answer, he didn't find it particularly cold, probably because he wasn't a local!
As for the others, they all began to rack their brains, not yet knowing the answer.

It must be said that Professor Agasa's riddles are quite impressive.
