Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 255: Melodi Family Birthday Party (Part 5)

The day of the banquet soon arrived. Sonoko specially ordered a dress for Xiaolan, saying that Xiaolan would look good in it.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Sonoko is helping Xiaolan change her clothes.

"Ran, won't that mystery geek come to see you? It's rare for you to be dressed so beautifully." While tying a bow on Ran's skirt, Sonoko complained about Kudo Shinichi who had not shown up yet.

"Really? This way, that guy won't be able to appreciate your beauty right away!"

Conan, who had also changed into a small suit and was adjusting his bow tie, happened to hear what Sonoko said.

Conan’s inner thoughts: No need, I see it now.

Xiaolan was a little helpless: "It doesn't matter, I'll take a few photos and show them to Shinichi later. After all, this time we are going to attend a party hosted by someone else."

Although she said this, Xiaolan still hoped in her heart that Kudo Shinichi could attend the banquet with her.

On the other side, Kogoro Mouri, wearing a suit, was smoking and reading a newspaper, filling the room with the smell of smoke.

Yuanzi complained dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, we are going to attend a very high-end banquet soon. You will make our clothes smell like cigarettes!"

Then Yuanzi pretended to be disappointed: "Such a large party, there must be a lot of handsome guys in attendance, what if the smell of cigarettes on me scares them all away!"

Maori Kogoro's eyes twitched, and he put out his cigarette helplessly: "Really, why not just spray it with air freshener before going out?"

At this moment, Sonoko was still imagining that the nobles of various families would come over with wine glasses and talk to her: "Miss Sonoko, you are so beautiful... Miss Sonoko, please dance with me..."

Then, of course, Sonoko would respond beautifully: "Ah, what a pity. Although I already have a boyfriend, since you are so enthusiastic, then I will..."

"Sister Sonoko." Conan's voice interrupted Sonoko's fantasy. He walked over with a can of air freshener. "Do you want some air freshener?"

Yuanzi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction: "Humph, bring it here."

After spraying air freshener to completely eliminate the smell of cigarettes, the group drove to the banquet venue.

In front of the banquet hall of the Melodi family's temporary residence, Conan looked at the gorgeously dressed explorer with shock.

The explorer (Owlman) wears a black hat with a golden rose wrapped around it, and his coat seems to be made of some expensive leather. The cloak on his back is patterned with peacock tail feathers. The shirt and pants inside are matching, both have golden stripes, and the belt around his waist is decorated with moons and stars.

"Uncle Norton, he looks like a big golden peacock..." Conan exclaimed as he looked at the explorer's attire.

"At least it's much better than that tacky nouveau riche outfit," the entomologist commented expressionlessly, wearing the uniform of a "Professor of Zoology and Botany."

The novelist said with a forced smile, "Haha, someone walked around the room eight hundred times in this outfit, as if afraid no one would see them."

The novelist still wore his original skin. Although he wanted to wear the "New Beginning" costume, the long robe of that costume stuck to his legs, making it inconvenient to move.

The composer came over wearing the Ghost Sails and said, "Orpheus, although I hate to say this, after all these years, wouldn't you consider getting yourself some custom-made clothes?"

[Novelist: I don’t want to? I can’t do anything!]

[Surveyor: I suddenly feel you're pretty miserable too. It's been a few years and you don't even have a few decent fashion pieces.]

[Novelist: Shut up!]

[Entomologist: Although sometimes having a fashion schedule isn't necessarily a good thing...]

[Novelist: Shut up!]

[Composer: At least you got the free rare costume from Abyssal Eight Miles, and there's a collaboration with Sherlock Holmes later, but...]

[Novelist: Stop talking, wuwuwu...]

[Little girl: Aoife, don’t cry. Alice, pat your head~]

[Reporter: It’s okay. I don’t have any nice clothes. I’ll have to wait until Abyss Nine.]

On the other side, the psychologist (Long Night) and the patient (Star) also entered the scene, accompanied by an 800-watt oversized light bulb knight.

[Knight: I suddenly understand why Matthias advised me to stay away from young couples.]

[Puppeteer: You ignored my advice and insisted on getting close...]

[Patient: Ada, everyone is looking at us, please don’t look at others.]

[Psychologist: Fool, my sight will always stay on you~]

[Patient: Ada~]

[Psychologist: Emil~]

[Knight: Ah! I can't stand it!]

[Puppeteer: (Real-time information sharing is closed)]

[Ms. Farrow: Matthias's decision to cut his losses was quite remarkable.]

[Fire Investigator: He's using his usual speed to deal with the enemy.]

[Philanthropist: Do you need a lighting technician? I have my flashlight and party pom-poms ready! Let me illuminate your beauty!]

[Sculptor: No, we don't need lighting here. (He turns his back and charges his sword to chase the enemy away)]

[Philanthropist: (Leaves the venue with regret, then goes to the first mate’s vinyl store to dance)]

[postman:?]

[First Mate: Keep playing the music, keep dancing~ Let's have some fun~]

[Mercenary: As expected, having no missions means I have nothing to do.]

[Toy Merchant: No trace of Mr. Antonio has been found on Second Avenue. Requesting support!]

[Opera Singer: Where has he been off to? He seems to have turned off his location.]

[Gravekeeper: No need to look for him. He fell into the hole I dug on his way back and is now fast asleep in there.]

[Crazy Eyes: Young people are in great shape, they fall asleep right away.]

[Gravekeeper: Can someone help me? The hole is a bit deep...]

[Aviator: Here I come, Andrew. You tie the rope to Mr. Antonio, and I'll use the jet pack to pull him out.]

[Gravekeeper: Okay.]

[Violinist: Ouch! It hurts!]

[Aviator:?]

[Gravekeeper: Oh, I tied the rope to his hair, on purpose. (Indifferent)]

[Magician: Wonderful.]

Of course Conan saw this famous couple, and Ran and Sonoko noticed it too.

Sonoko looked at the two people's wedding-like dresses and walked forward excitedly: "Are you two getting married?"

When the patient heard the word "marriage" and was about to step forward to explain something, he heard the psychologist's voice.

"We both got married very early, didn't we, dear?"

The patient was immediately overjoyed and hugged the psychologist with a happy puppy expression, while the psychologist gently stroked the patient's cheek.

The knight on the side: Haha.

Conan: Wow, when Ran and I get married in the future... (Imagine Ran wearing a wedding dress)

Seeing that the patient and the psychologist were about to perform some kind of restricted film, the knight covered Conan's eyes and said, "Don't watch this, children."

Conan, who was caught off guard and had his eyes covered:?

Ran and Sonoko watched the intimate interaction between the psychologist and the patient up close: Wow~

Sonoko's inner thoughts: Imagine this scene happening to herself and Kyogoku Makoto. Although Mr. Kid is also very handsome, if we really want to express love, it has to be Makoto.

Xiaolan’s inner thoughts: If it were Shinichi, what would he do...Imagine the scene where Kudo Shinichi talks about Sherlock Holmes while living happily with the case.

Then Xiaolan quickly shook her head and put this absurd scene behind her: "Haha, I am really too sensitive. How could Shinichi do such a thing?"

Conan didn't know what Xiaolan was thinking just now:?
