"What great luck, what great luck!" Genta exclaimed as he grabbed a skewer of grilled meat from the table.
“The lucky ones are the kids!” However, Ayumi’s attention was clearly not on that.
Following Ayumi's gaze, everyone saw a group of children about their age gathered in the same place.
"They must be the kids who were chosen to participate in the games today!"
Looking at the badges on the children's chests, Mitsuhiko immediately guessed who they were.
"The grandson of the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, the grandson of a financial tycoon, the son of a ruling politician... the second and third generations who bear the future of Japan are basically all here." Kogoro Mouri looked at the group of kids not far away and muttered to himself with a complicated tone.
"It's like a miniature version of Japan's ugly hereditary system."
"what!?"
"Heh, with this hereditary system, humanity's erroneous history will continue to repeat itself, and no matter how much time passes, it will never change."
"Haibara, what are you saying?" Unlike Kogoro Mouri and Ran's shocked expressions, Ayumi and the others were completely unable to understand the meaning behind Ai Haibara's words.
As for Conan, he helplessly rolled his dead fish eyes at this moment.
Conan was somewhat speechless at Ai Haibara's sarcastic remark.
Come on, can't Haibara say something like a child?
Just as Conan was having a headache over this, two figures walking towards them suddenly caught his eye.
“The sons of politicians will become politicians, the sons of bank presidents will become bank presidents, and if this continues, Japan will always be controlled by the same group of people, no matter how long it takes.”
"Aragaki (older brother), Masami (older sister)!"
Upon hearing this sudden explanation, everyone turned around in surprise to look in the direction from which the voice came, only to see that Aragaki Yu and Hirota Masami had appeared beside them at some point.
"Everyone, it's been a long time. If I'm not mistaken, this is probably what Ai meant."
As Yuu Aragaki greeted her, he didn't forget to reach out and pat Ai Haibara's head, only to be met with a disgusted glare from her.
However, Ai Haibara did not refute the meaning behind his words.
As Akemi Miyano greeted the children, Ran looked at Yuu Aragaki with delight, "Yuu-kun, I didn't see you earlier, I thought you couldn't make it today!"
Because Sonoko Suzuki had asked Yuu Aragaki at school if he wanted to attend the party, Ran knew that Yuu had received an invitation.
"Xiaolan, Aragaki!"
At the same time, Sonoko, dressed in a red backless dress, also saw Ran and the others gathered together. After dealing with the few guys who were bothering her, she walked excitedly in this direction.
"Sonoko!" Ran was overjoyed to see Sonoko.
"Hey guys and ladies!"
Looking at the group of children she had invited around Ran, Sonoko didn't forget to bend down and greet them with a smile.
Compared to the group of people who were clinging to her in an attempt to get close to the Suzuki Group, she found these noisy brats much more agreeable.
Chapter 663 The Annoying Kids
"Sonoko-nee! That badge of yours, is it...?"
Just as the children were greeting Sonoko, the sharp-eyed Mitsuhiko noticed the badge pinned to the chest of Sonoko's dress.
"Oh, you mean this?" Following the children's eager gazes, Sonoko subconsciously glanced down at the badge on her chest.
However, Sonoko clearly had no interest in games, so she casually flicked her badge and said, "That's because the Suzuki Group also funded the development of this game!"
Compared to virtual games, Sonoko would rather look at handsome men, like Aragaki-kun standing right in front of her.
Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that we're so close, she would have already stuck to Aragaki Yu's side by now.
babble...
At the same time, Yuu Aragaki, who had no idea what Sonoko was thinking, suddenly felt a chill that came from nowhere.
"That's great..."
"I really want to play with cocoons too!"
Several children looked at the garden with envy and sighed.
However, before Sonoko could reply, a childish snort from the side caught their attention.
"Hmph, give up, we're on different sides."
"By the way, were you guys really invited?"
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw a few seven or eight-year-old kids staring at the Junior Detective Club children with cold smiles. They were the rich second and third-generation kids whose identities had just been revealed by Kogoro Mouri.
"You kids are really rude! They are our invited guests!"
Before anyone else could react, Sonoko couldn't help but speak up.
Seeing Sonoko's displeased expression, Aragaki Yu had to admit that this was one of her most attractive qualities.
As the daughter of the Suzuki Group, Sonoko Suzuki is a well-known figure not only in Japan but also worldwide.
Even so, Sonoko has no airs of a rich heiress and is as easygoing as the girl next door you might see anywhere.
Yuu Aragaki remembers a story where Ran and Sera Masumi suggested going to eat ramen together. Without a second thought, Sonoko canceled her original French meal reservation and headed to the ramen shop with everyone.
Inside the shop, she completely disregarded her image, slurping noodles with gusto while chatting and laughing with everyone, sharing anecdotes from school, showing no trace of the pomp and circumstance expected of a young lady.
Even on her usual commute to and from school, Sonoko chooses to forgo being picked up in a luxury car and walks with Ran, even complaining about her homework along the way, enjoying her ordinary daily life just like any other high school student.
However, when Sera Masumi is mentioned, Aragaki Yu is reminded of the guy he found in the Thames River in London, England.
If I'm not mistaken, they should be arriving in Japan soon.
“Isn’t this Suzuki’s daughter?” One of the boys bowed slightly to Sonoko in a gentlemanly manner.
However, all of this seemed so incongruous to Aragaki Yu.
Of course, Sonoko Suzuki had the same thought, so she simply raised an eyebrow at the boy and didn't say anything more.
"A person's life is already determined at the moment they are born." The boy who was leading the group and holding the soccer ball glanced at the children of the Junior Detective Club with disdain.
“That’s right, that’s right, beautiful clothes also choose who wears them!” The kid in the expensive suit straightened his tie and exclaimed.
However, judging from his appearance, he seems to be a few sizes fatter than Genta.
"Those who weren't chosen can just stand by and watch with envy, drooling!"
……
"Ugh, these guys are infuriating!"
Faced with the mockery of these rich kids, not only the Junior Detective League members, but even Conan and Ai Haibara frowned in displeasure.
These kids are really asking for a beating!
"Dad, say something to them too!" Ran, seeing her aggrieved children, couldn't help but complain to Kogoro Mouri.
She hoped her father could show some dignity as an adult and teach these kids a lesson.
Unexpectedly, before Kogoro Mouri could even react, the leader of the group spoke first.
His expression was strange, and he said with a wicked grin, "I know something about Uncle, you know. Sleeping Kogoro, you probably got that nickname because your wife ran away from home while you were sleeping!"
To these young men from prominent families, no matter how famous Kogoro Mouri was, he was just a detective, and they didn't take him seriously.
After he finished speaking, the children surrounding the boy in the lead burst into laughter.
Faced with the mockery of these kids, Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists in anger.
He was about to teach these kids a lesson when Xiaolan unintentionally stabbed him in the back, "It wasn't while we were sleeping! My mom ran away while my dad was in the bathroom!"
Maori Kogoro:"……"
Sonoko Suzuki: "..."
Miyano Akemi: "..."
The Junior Detective League children: "..."
This made those annoying guys laugh even more exaggeratedly.
At this moment, even Miyano Akemi, who was usually extremely gentle with children, couldn't help but look around. However, she found that Aragaki Yu, who had just been standing there, had disappeared.
"Hey?"
Akemi Miyano blinked in confusion, then looked around the banquet hall searching for Yu Aragaki.
The next second, she also saw Aragaki Yu being surrounded by a group of people not far away.
Those people were either imposing or dressed in luxurious clothes; they were clearly not ordinary people.
But these same people were standing beside Aragaki Yu at this very moment, chatting and laughing.
Even around these people, there were quite a few young girls or ladies who were secretly glancing at Aragaki Yu, and occasionally whispering and teasing each other.
Although she didn't know what the women were saying, Miyano Akemi sensed a dangerous signal in their eyes.
It's like a wolf seeing meat.
However, just as Miyano Akemi was lost in thought, she suddenly realized that the people surrounding Aragaki Yuu looked somewhat familiar.
The next moment, she realized that many of those people were the "high-ranking officials and dignitaries" who had previously entrusted Aragaki Yu with their work.
