Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Kenji Hagiwara was half lying lazily on the sofa.

Hearing Zhu Fu Jingguang's footsteps going downstairs, he looked at Koizumi who was immersed in browsing the web, rolled his eyes, and stood up and walked over.

"Izumi-chan, Pramya just left, she won't come back to trouble us right away, right?"

Koizumi sensed Pramya's consciousness connection.

Although this person left, he actually didn't go very far and is currently staying somewhere nearby.

Based on Koizumi's understanding of the area, that direction and distance is probably a restaurant or a coffee shop?

Could it be that she went straight to the dinner appointment with her fiancé?

If she had succeeded just now, the fiancé would indeed be a good alibi witness.

"Well, maybe?"

Koizumi ultimately gave only an uncertain answer.

To be honest, she was a little curious about what Pramya was doing.

Her cat brother was of no help, and the toy surveillance eye could only see but not hear. Rashly placing surveillance equipment on the other party would only alert the enemy and cause unnecessary trouble. Koizumi really had no particularly good way to further monitor Pramya.

...Oh, or maybe she could go and see for herself?

But now she is being targeted by Morobushi and Hagiwara, and it is difficult for her to escape.

If I could convince Hagiwara to let her go out quietly...

It seems that Hagiwara has no resistance to cute children, so maybe it would help if she acts coquettishly?

Kenji Hagiwara didn't actually want to talk about Pramya, this was just an introduction to what he was going to say next, and it didn't matter what Koizumi's answer was.

Just when Koizumi was thinking about how to start, he heard Hagiwara Kenji suddenly say, "Izumi-chan, although Morifushi's cooking skills are really good, don't you get tired of eating his food all the time?"

Actually not.

But Hagiwara's attitude...

Does that mean she wants to leave those four people behind and act alone?

...It’s not impossible.

After all, given her current condition as a child, it is indeed not convenient for her to act alone in some situations. It would be much better if she had a "guardian".

Koizumi blinked his eyes and said seriously, "If I think about it carefully, it seems to be a little bit."

Hagiwara Kenji's smile deepened, and he continued to tease, "And he even limited the supply? He really thinks of himself as your butler."

Koizumi understood what Hagiwara meant and nodded seriously, "That's right! This is the only hobby I have, and he doesn't even want to satisfy me!"

Then he slapped the armrest of the seat and said, "This is too much! This is child abuse!"

Judging from Sakurai's performance, it's clear that he already knows what he means.

It seems that this guy is also thinking about sneaking away?

So, are these two a perfect match?

"Izumi-chan, which do you prefer, cake or ice cream?"

Koizumi said seriously: "I like them all!"

Stop laying the groundwork and get to the point!

Hagiwara's smile was like that of a weird uncle who kidnapped a child: "Izumi-chan, I know a delicious dessert shop, do you want to try it?"

Koizumi hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean not to tell Zhufu? Isn't that a bad idea?"

What I mean is: I didn’t originally plan to slip away if it weren’t for your invitation... Anyway, if you get scolded later, the responsibility is all yours, I won’t take the blame!

How could Kenji Hagiwara not understand the true meaning of Koizumi's eyes?

I was almost laughing at her.

"Okay, okay, it's because I'm embarrassed to go to that kind of cake shop alone, so I want to drag you along and use you to help cover up so that I can satisfy my own appetite. Is this okay?"

Koizumi stared with curiosity and asked, "Hey, why? If you're just embarrassed, can't you just find a random female companion? You're so popular with the opposite sex, there must be someone suitable."

"Hey, don't make me sound like a scumbag! I've never dated a woman alone."

Hagiwara Kenji complained unhappily, and reached out to hit little Kyoko hard on the forehead: "Except you!"

Koizumi covered his forehead and stared at him in disbelief: "Really?"

"Really!"

Then, Hagiwara Nishiko held her heart and said in a very "complaining" tone: "Izumi-chan, why do you misunderstand me so deeply?"

Koizumi sneered with disdain: "Misunderstanding? Anyway, I see you and Matsuda going out together every day."

Hagiwara Kenji: ? ?

"...Zhen Ping? Going out in pairs or something...ah..."

Seeing Koizumi's smirk, Hagiwara suddenly realized the meaning of her words and smiled helplessly: "Hey, isn't my wedding going to be held for Matsuda? There's nothing wrong with us doing things together often, right?"

Koizumi glared: "You're about to get married and you're still proposing to me? You scumbag!"

Hagiwara Kenji: …

He patted his forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "Now I believe it. No matter who it is, as long as it is a woman, the ability to make trouble is a natural ability."

"Hey~"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, little ancestor! If we wait until Zero arrives, we really won't be able to leave!"

------

"Go straight ahead, then turn right at the next intersection."

Although it was Hagiwara who said he would take Koizumi to the dessert shop, it was actually Koizumi who led the way.

"Hagiwara, slow down. It's the store on the left ahead."

Hagiwara Kenji parked the car on the side of the road and looked in the direction Koizumi mentioned: "Oh, it's this western restaurant. I saw a review in a magazine, and the prices are not cheap."

Koizumi: ...

Huh? What impressed you most was not the taste, but the high price?

How "cheap" must it be to leave such a deep impression on you...

As he said this, Hagiwara Kenji turned around and looked at the kid in the passenger seat who had a strange expression on his face: "Is he really here?"

Koizumi nodded firmly: "Yes. I guess she is probably dating her fiancé?"

"So the purpose of our visit this time?"

"I want to confirm the identity of her fiancé."

"OK, got it. Let's get started."

Kenji Hagiwara drove the car into the parking lot on the side of the road and muttered, "I don't think I'll run into those three kids again this time, right?"

Koizumi: ...

Oh, that’s true.

If those three children were also present...

Then there is no need to worry about her and Hagiwara's safety!

The world will strengthen Pramya again. Do you dare to let this guy attack the Son of the World?

Ha, this was the first time she was looking forward to meeting the three little ones, especially Kudo Shinichi.

Reassured, Koizumi said with a smile, "Hagiwara, is this a restaurant affordable for a working-class person like you? How about I treat you?"

Hagiwara Kenji immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, don't underestimate me! It's just a dessert, it's impossible for it to eat up my wallet...right?"

Hagiwara's tone sounded inexplicably guilty.

He glanced at Koizumi again, and as if to encourage himself, he said, "Besides, with your current small body, how much can you eat?"

Koizumi: ...

Laugh without saying a word.

I always feel that you are a little too optimistic, Hagiwara-san.
