"Is it?"

Suzuki Tomoko's tone remained nonchalant, but her eyes grew sharp for a moment when she heard the word "fiancée".

"Then let's go meet this 'fiancée' later."

She emphasized the pronunciation of those three words.

Chapter 493 I am his fiancée!

Mrs. Suzuki's arrival quickly attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant, just like the visit of a senior leader from a higher-level department.

Mrs. Suzuki was already accustomed to this kind of scene. She greeted and responded to everyone along the way with ease. When she had almost finished responding to everyone, she came to the table where Kogoro Mori and others were sitting.

Naturally, Kogoro Mouri had noticed the arrival of the former just like everyone else, but he had no chance to go up and say hello.

After all, no matter how famous he is, no matter where he goes people call him the Great Detective Maori, but in the end he is just a self-employed detective.

It's just like the big stars on variety shows. They are very well-known, but to think that they are going to steal the spotlight from the bigwigs in the police and political circles in such a public occasion is pure wishful thinking. It's impossible.

What's more, even Miss Sonoko is sitting here steadily. No matter how you think about it, she will definitely come over eventually, so there is no need to rush over.

Now Mrs. Suzuki had indeed come to their table, and Kogoro Mori quickly put down his wine glass and stood up to greet her.

"It's been a while, Mrs. Suzuki."

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Suzuki Tomoko smiled gracefully and moved her eyes around the dining table, as if casually scanning everyone's face, finally stopping on her daughter Sonoko.

"It looks like you've entertained your friends well, Sonoko."

"mom, Mom, Mom!"

Poor Miss Sonoko only got a word in now and stood up from her seat.

"Why did you rush over again? Didn't you say you couldn't spare the time today?"

"That was originally my plan, but I managed to catch up after thinking of a way."

Suzuki Tomoko's smile never changed.

"Besides, the Eighth Generation Foundation is also an important partner of our family. It is necessary to maintain absolute sincerity towards our partners."

"what……"

When Yuanzi heard this, she took it seriously at first, but soon she came to her senses and her eyes narrowed with a slight twitch at the corners of her mouth.

There is no other reason, it is just a common method used by consortiums to show sincerity.

It is not necessarily displayed to the other consortium, but more to outsiders.

After all, it is one thing to ask your daughter to come to such an occasion because you are busy, but it is another thing for you to still try your best to come after your daughter comes.

You don't even have to be really busy. It's like you have to go if there are difficulties, and you have to go if there are no difficulties by creating them.

That’s probably what it is in a nutshell.

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing."

Suzuki Tomoko mentioned this in a casual manner.

"When I came over just now, the restaurant manager said that Sera-kun was also participating in the maiden voyage of the Aphrodite. Did you see him?"

"Sera-kun? Is there?"

A big question mark appeared above Yuanzi's head and he quickly looked around.

Then Suzuki Tomoko added another sentence.

"Oh, I heard he was with his fiancée."

"……ha?!"

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the question mark above Miss Sonoko's head turned directly into a straight, sparkling golden exclamation mark.

Wei Wei Wei Wei... Stop, stop. What do you mean by Sera-kun and his fiancée? When did he have a fiancée?

Not to mention Sonoko, even Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro next to them looked confused when they heard this.

Because I haven’t heard of it at all!

This guy always looks lazy and expressionless, and he doesn't even bother to talk. How can such a wooden head attract girls?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"If I were to talk about a fiancée, it would be..."

In the almost absolute silence, Conan muttered subconsciously.

But as soon as he said that, he realized he shouldn't have said that.

As expected, the next second, Sonoko passed Xiaolan in the middle, grabbed Conan's arm with a crosshairs on her forehead, and her eyes radiated blood red light.

"Little brat, you seem to know something... huh? Tell me about it?"

"I... just heard Brother Sera mention it accidentally. Besides, he just mentioned it casually at the time. When I asked him again later, he never directly admitted it. Hahaha..."

Conan tried to escape, but with his current physical ability, it was impossible for him to escape from the violent high school girl.

Yuanzi continued to ask with a grim smile: "So who is it?"

"Well, I think it should be..."

Conan's eyes wandered, not really wanting to answer this question.

It's easy to imagine that when he confirmed with Serabelle whether the other party and Miss Akita were the same kind of people, this guy avoided the topic in various ways, and it was obvious that he didn't want to make it public yet.

If I spread rumors here, who knows if he will retaliate against me afterwards.

"Well, if you really want to know, why not go find him in person?" Suzuki Tomoko suggested slowly, "As far as I know, Sera-kun is also dining in this restaurant... with his fiancée. I think it's better to go and see it with your own eyes than to study information that is not 100% certain."

"Okay! Let's go there now!"

Yuanzi didn't even bother to finish his meal. He put down his fork, wiped his mouth, and rushed over.

And Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro also stood up.

They didn't care as much as Sonoko did about who Serabelle's fiancée was, but... everyone has a gossipy heart.

Tomoko Suzuki turned to her secretary Masato Nishino behind her.

"Nishino, did the kitchen tell me where Sera-kun's table is?"

"I told you, it's at table 27."

Masato Nishino answered with his head held high, his voice as powerful as that of a soldier being inspected by his superiors.

Suzuki Tomoko smiled.

"Then let's go now."

……

On the other side, at Table 27 where all the dishes had been served, Reiko Akiba scooped a spoonful of cheese and mushroom soup into Serabel's mouth.

She tilted her head and supported her cheek with one hand, focusing all her attention on the young man in front of her.

"By the way, Bell, you saw it just now, right? It seems that your friends have also come to this ship."

"Yeah... I saw it."

Serabelle swallowed the cheese and mushroom soup, his tone as calm as the determined face he showed at the moment.

Reiko Akiba put down the spoon, and her voice sounded unusually troubled.

"So do you want to go over and say hello, or... later?"

If possible, she would naturally hope that Serabelle would answer "talk about it later". Now was the dinner time for the two of them to be alone. If she went over to say hello directly, they might end up sitting down to eat together, which would go against the purpose of her trip.

"Oh, no need."

Serabelle still had a determined look on her face.

"If nothing goes wrong, they should show up soon..."

"Good evening, Sera-kun?"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Suzuki's meaningful voice came from behind him, accompanied by the sound of footsteps that seemed like a large group of people.

Looking back, besides Mrs. Suzuki there were Kogoro Mouri, Ran, Conan, Sonoko, and two people that Serabelle didn't recognize.

Leaving the last two aside, among the remaining five people, except Conan who already knew the general idea, the other four all focused their eyes on Miss Akita.

"It's actually..."

"Ms. Akita!?"

"Damn it!!!"

The last howl was from Kogoro Mori, who was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Suzuki Tomoko maintained a proper smile and looked at Serabelle for a moment before turning to Akiba Reiko across the table.

"What a surprise! I didn't expect to meet Miss Akiba here, and she's with Sera-kun. Could you two be..."

Reiko Akiba frowned slightly. Although Mrs. Suzuki was very polite in her words, there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes that made her very uncomfortable.

So she chose to speak her mind.

"Yes, I am Bell's fiancée."

"Oh? Where's your fiancée?"

Mrs. Suzuki's look became even more meaningful.

Chapter 494: Confrontation between women!

Serabelle has never had any real feeling about the term "Shura Field" which is unique to Japanese comics.

If we look at it from an objective point of view, it is probably that when the two female protagonists who both have a crush on the male protagonist get together, a dispute will occur, which may be either stormy or undercurrent, and at this time the male protagonist will usually tremble in fear and dare not even fart.

The reason was simple, but Serabelle didn't understand why the hero should tremble at this moment.

But now he finally understood that the so-called trembling was just a form of expression, but not daring to fart was real.

Oh, it can’t be said that I dare not say a word, to be more precise, it should be said that I have nothing to say.

Because no matter what you say at this time, it would be inappropriate.

Especially after her relationship with Yukiko was discovered by Aunt Eri, Serabel deeply understood the emotions a woman would experience when faced with betrayal by her loved one.

As a result, the scene fell into silence and the atmosphere was stagnant for a while.

Suzuki Tomoko still had a smile on her face, while Akiba Reiko frowned slightly.

Xiaolan in the back covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of surprise. Her posture was just like a little squirrel stuffing diced ham into its mouth.

Conan was better off because he had guessed it a long time ago, but he also had an expression of "as expected" on his face.

Kogoro Mouri even covered his chest with his hands and looked troubled, probably lamenting that although he was also a detective... and even the famous Sleeping Kogoro, he was completely inferior to a brat in charm, and was almost forty years old but still a bachelor.

It’s so unreasonable!

As for Miss Sonoko... Miss Sonoko has completely turned gray, there is no way to save her. (Waving hands)

Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last too long. Soon Suzuki Tomoko shifted her gaze back to Serabell and said softly.

"But it's really surprising. I didn't expect that Sera-kun did such a good job of keeping secrets that he didn't even let his friends know about such a big thing as having a fiancée."

No, actually Conan knew about it and asked me several times, but I never admitted it to him directly...

Serabelle thought.

At this time, Reiko Akiba suddenly stood up on her own initiative. Her figure was already quite tall among Asian women, and with the high heels on her feet, after standing up straight, she was actually half a head taller than Mrs. Suzuki, who was wearing business flat shoes.

"Indeed, we had been hiding the news of our relationship before, but that was also Bell's consideration for my work. He thought that announcing the relationship so hastily might have an impact on my career. But I later thought it through and realized that there was no need to care so much, so we decided to take advantage of the maiden voyage of the Aphrodite to make our relationship public."

"Is this...?"

Suzuki Tomoko raised her face slightly, raised her hand to support her chin, and a playful look reappeared on her face.

"Since you've made your relationship public, can I ask when did it start?"

"...The wife of the head of the Suzuki Group is still concerned about this?"
