Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

With his arms on the table, Imaguchi listened to their plan attentively, nodding while listening.

"I understand that you want to give Xiao Ai a birthday surprise, but preparing these things requires space. Since you want to hide these things from Xiao Ai, the doctor's house must not let them go. You came to me to put these things away. At my house?"

"That's not the case. Brother Imaguchi's home is relatively small, so there shouldn't be room for so many things." Mitsuhiko shook his head. They had been to Imaguchi's home. How many rooms are there and how big is the space? They knew in their hearts that the things they needed to prepare were probably enough to fill half a room, and Ikoko would definitely not be able to fit them in his home.

"We want you, Imaguchi-san, to take us shopping together." Genta explained the purpose of their trip.

"Well, because there are some things that the boss won't sell to us, and we can't buy them either." Ayumi nodded.

"Of course you can, but the question is where are you going to put these things after you buy them? You stay with Xiao Ai all day long, and she will definitely think of the places you can think of, even if she doesn't know about it in the first place. If we check, we can probably find out where you put your things."

So many things can't be moved to their respective homes! And there are a lot of things that need to be installed. Although it is not heavy, it is very messy. If it is placed far away, it may not be ready in time.

"We asked Mr. Okiya Subaru about this, and he said we could put it at his place," Ayumi said.

After learning about their plan, Mr. Okiya Subaru offered to help them. Not only was he willing to let them leave all their things at his home, he also taught them what they needed to prepare for their birthday party and provided them with a lot of help. !

"It will indeed be much closer this way. Well, have you decided what you want to buy?" Imaguchi asked sincerely.

"I've thought about it." Ayumi and the others nodded.

"Brother Subaru said that we need to buy some balloons, and we also need to buy some fireworks, ribbons, lanterns, etc." Genta tried hard to recall what Subaru Okiya said at that time, but Subaru Okiya said too many things at that time, and he I can only remember a little bit.

"By the way, we also need to determine the theme of the party. What style does Haibara like?" Mitsuhiko suddenly remembered that Subaru Okiya had mentioned before that he had to determine the theme of the party first, and quickly interrupted Genta's words.

"You don't need to decorate a birthday party, right?" Imaguchi hesitated a little. Since it's a birthday party, it's natural to dress it up as warmly as possible. You can't have a scientific style for a birthday party, right?

"But at least think about the overall style!" Bumi retorted, "For example, what color does Xiao Ai like?"

"Is this... white?" This question stumped Ayumi and the others, Genta tentatively guessed.

"I think it's gray!"

"How about trying pink?"

"Xiao Ai probably doesn't like pink, so why not choose yellow or blue! This is the safest!"

"In that case, white or gray are also fine!"

Several children from the Youth Detective Team started to guess one word after another, and they became confused as they talked.

"Stop, this is a coffee shop, be a little quieter!" Imaguchi noticed that someone next to them had noticed them, and quickly gave way to Ayumi and the others to keep their voices down.

Seeing Imaguchi's expression, Ayumi and the others immediately stopped talking and looked at Imaguchi.

"Brother Imaguchi, do you know what color Xiao Ai likes? Or what colors are usually better for birthday parties?"

"I'm not very sure about that, but you can ask. It's still a week away from my birthday, and there's still time. You can buy it after asking about it." Imaguchi shook his head and spread his hands.

"Okay, let's discuss this later! Let's look at the next issue now, choosing the party venue. The party will be held at the doctor's house, so there is no need to find a place." Mitsuhiko nodded and continued to read what he had written down in his notebook. "Then choose the appropriate decorations, just like what Yuantai just said, but the doctor's house is relatively large, so you need to buy more things like balloons and lanterns."

"Yeah." Yuantai nodded.

"We also need to plan some party games to make the party more interesting. Imaguchi-nii, Ayumi, Genta, do you have any suggestions?" Mitsuhiko looked up from his notebook and asked.

"If you want to play games, you can get the game console from the doctor and play games together."

"I think it's better to sing! That's easier, and Xiao Ai seems to like singing quite a lot." Ayumi suggested.

"I still prefer adventure. How about making a maze or going on a trip?" Yuantai asked happily.

"It sounds interesting, but there are no fun places nearby. If you want to go on an adventure, you have to at least walk a long way. By the time we get there, it will probably be Xiao Ai's birthday." Imaguchi Kokoro shook her head, interrupting Genta's thoughts.

"How about replacing the adventure with a guessing game?" Mitsuhiko thought for a moment and then said.

Puzzle-telling and story-telling are somewhat related to exploration, but they don’t require going to a specific place, as long as they collect enough puzzles and enough case stories!

"Okay." Ayumi and the others nodded.

"Then leave this to me!" Yuantai said, patting his chest.

"Then what should we prepare next?" Ayumi nodded and looked at Mitsuhiko aside.

"Of course we have to prepare food and drinks. How can a party be without food and drinks? We can prepare some delicious food and drinks according to our own tastes and Haiyuan's preferences." Yuantai's eyes widened. Liang said excitedly.

He remembered this. Brother Subaru asked them to prepare delicious food. In addition to various snacks, they also had to prepare a birthday cake!

Ayumi and the others glanced at Genta helplessly, but still nodded.

"It's easier to eat and drink well. Just go to the store and buy it. We don't have much to eat, so just buying some is enough."

"As for the birthday cake, you can order it in the cake shop and pick it up at that time. Or if you want, I can help you make a cake by hand, but it will definitely not be as beautiful as the ones sold outside." Imaguchi followed suit. nod.

"Brother Imaguchi, can you still make cakes?"

"Yes, I have baked it before, but the final product was average, but it was edible." Imaguchi thought back to the last time he made a cake, and found that it was several months ago. The weather in these few months It was getting warmer, but he was afraid that the cake wouldn't hold up, so he didn't make it.

"Well, let's make one first. If it doesn't work, go to the cake shop to customize it!" Mitsuhiko said after thinking for a moment.

"it is good."

Imaguchi Heart also nodded.

"But you should be fine now, right?" After writing down the last word of what he just said on the paper, Mitsuhiko raised his head and asked.

"Wait a minute! The invitation cards for the birthday party haven't been made yet! Who do we want to invite?" Ayumi stopped Mitsuhiko from closing the book.

"This should be just us!" Could it be that Haiyuan has other friends?

"In addition to us, there are Detective Mori and Sister Xiaoran, Dr. Agasa, Brother Imaguchi, Brother Subaru, and if there are more people, Sister Sonoko and the others will be added." Mitsuhiko clicked on all the people who might participate. , but found that there was far more than they thought, and I was a little surprised. With so many people, their previous preparations may not be enough!

"Can I also join?" At some point, Toru Amuro stood behind Ayumi and the others and heard that they were going to celebrate Haibara Ai's birthday. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but suddenly he thought that it had been confusing him for the past two days. Things to understand. Toru Amuro finally decided to go over and take a look, maybe he could find the answer to the problem!

"Brother Amuro? Of course."

"When the invitations are ready, we will send one to you!" Ayumi and the others nodded happily.

"Okay, I will definitely go there on time!" Toru Amuro nodded.

"Have you already made your plans now? It's still early, so let's go buy something first! Go to the mall and take a look, maybe you can figure out what you want to buy." Imaguchi looked at his phone in his mind At this time, it was still early before dark. If they hurry up, they might be able to visit the entire mall.

"Okay. Let's talk about the rest while walking!" Mitsuhiko nodded.

……

Standing in front of the counter, Imaguchi and the others looked at the various fireworks placed on the cabinet, and almost their eyes were dazzled.

The fireworks, colorful ropes, lanterns, etc. here are so beautiful! It doesn’t look like it’s for people, but it looks like it’s going to be put up at home as an offering!

"There are so many fireworks here, which one do we want?" Yuantai asked.

"Let's see which one is more beautiful, and the place we're lighting shouldn't be too far away from the doctor's house, so it's better to choose one that's not dangerous!" Imaguchi held a firework stick in his hand and was watching carefully. fireworks.

"Well, why not buy this kind of thing! The fireworks mentioned above are very beautiful, but the sparks are very small." Imaguchi took out a box and handed it to them.
