Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

After parking the car, Kenji Hagiwara was about to get out when he was suddenly grabbed by a small hand from the side.

Turning around, he met Koizumi's particularly serious gaze.

"Hagiwara, our mission this time is just to observe. Don't draw hatred for yourself. Safety comes first, understand?"

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said, "Don't stir up hatred or anything like that. It's a little late to say that now, isn't it? When I told that person in front of me that I proposed to you, the hatred should have been established."

Hagiwara Kenji winked at Koizumi and said, "Come to think of it, Izumi-chan, why did you suddenly become Kyoko at this time?"

Koizumi: ...

Well, she did intend to use the pseudonym of Kyoko to attract hatred.

But looking at Pramiya's attitude, I always feel that she is more interested in Hagiwara, the "suitor".

"See, we think we're on the same page, right?"

Hagiwara patted Kyoko's hand soothingly: "Rather than everyone nervously waiting for revenge that may appear at any time, it is better to focus the hatred on one person, which will be easier to monitor and counterattack.

"As long as we can attract Pramya to attack us, Zhen Ping and the others will be safe for the time being. Right?"

Koizumi nodded: "In theory, yes."

Hagiwara Kenji shrugged, "My doom has passed, and now I have a superpower like you as my partner. What do I have to worry about?"

Koizumi: “Maybe, maybe… maybe.”

"If there is really a possibility of danger, I can't let you take the risk alone."

Hagiwara Kenji said seriously: "You are only a five-year-old child now..."

Seeing Koizumi waiting for him with a bad look on his face, Hagiwara Kenji smiled and changed his words: "Okay, okay, he's nine years old. He's just a nine-year-old child, what kind of fighting power can he have?"

As he spoke, he winked at Koizumi and said with a grin, "If I knew there was danger and still let a little kid like you take the risk, I would definitely be scolded to death by the groom-to-be! Oh, by the way, why did you suddenly turn into a child? Is this one of your superpowers?"

Koizumi ignored Hagiwara's subsequent questions and just smiled and teased, "Future groom? Hagiwara, you are not really being led astray by Yamada Taro, are you?"

Hagiwara Kenji showed a look of "shock" and said in a low voice, "You actually found out? Then I have no choice but to..."

Koizumi looked at him with a smile: "How is it?"

"…I'll have to take out my entire month's salary to bribe you!"

"Ha ha!"

"Okay, let's go." Hagiwara Kenji pushed the door and got out of the car, muttering, "I hope the taste of this restaurant is worth its price."

Well, wishes are beautiful, but reality is too cruel.

To be honest, it’s not as delicious as what Zhufu made…

No, to be honest, it’s far from it!

The main thing is that Zhu Fu is familiar with her preferences and knows that Koizumi doesn't like desserts that are too sweet, so although the desserts made may not completely suit the local people's taste, they are just right for Koizumi.

The cakes at this restaurant...

It has a very local taste and is too sweet!

Koizumi felt his throat was about to close up, and the feeling of the cake sliding down his throat was like swallowing a piece of candied pork...

But she still had to force herself to stuff it into her mouth and pretend that she was very happy and enjoyed it.

It is performed for Pramya, and even more for Hagiwara.

A cake tower, a glass of orange juice, a cup of coffee, and half a month's salary of Hagiwara was gone just like that...

If she dared to show an expression that the food was not tasty, Hagiwara would really cry.

------

Pramya looked at the two people sitting on the other side of the restaurant and felt a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Kenji Hagiwara also came here with the child named Kyoko.

Is it directed at her?

Kenji Hagiwara just subconsciously observed the situation in the restaurant when he entered the store. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly as a greeting.

But that was all, nothing more.

He ordered a signature cake tower for the child, and then sat with a cup of coffee, resting his chin on his hand and looking at the child with a smile, his eyes gentle and focused, and he never looked away from beginning to end.

It looks like they brought their children here specifically to eat cake?

As for the child named Kyoko, her attention was only on the cake in front of her from beginning to end. She swung her legs and squinted her eyes while digging into the cake, looking very happy.

Does this kid really like cake that much?

It would be fine to eat at your own restaurant, but why go out to eat?

But, is this amount of dessert serious?

But after thinking about it again, Pramya felt that she understood.

The manager of that cat cafe, although also Sakurai's subordinate, seems to be a very serious and principled person. He probably wouldn't let a five-year-old child eat too many desserts.

But Kenji Hagihara, who is Izumi Sakurai's suitor, doesn't have so many concerns.

Knowing that Kyoko likes to eat cakes, but can't enjoy it in the store, so he secretly brought the child out?

Isn't trying to please Kyoko the same as trying to please Sakurai Izumi?

Pramiya: ...

That makes sense.

It seems that the appearance of these two people in this store was purely coincidental.

But it was a perfect coincidence.

She was feeling a little annoyed. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal today, but she also had to deal with this annoying "fiancé". It was really a bit frustrating.

The appearance of Kenji Hagiwara and Kyoko is like two big fish delivered to the door!

Sakurai Izumi is really a bit weird.

Whether it was the fact that she suddenly appeared on the rooftop and hurt herself, or that she actually had the ability to divert a real bomb, or that the "assessment" turned into a boomerang and stabbed herself, it was all a bit too weird.

After escaping the explosion, Pramiya hid for a few days to avoid the spotlight and sorted out everything that happened that day, but she still couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

The only possibility...

Perhaps Izumi Sakurai was able to perform these incredible operations with the help of the power of the organization she belonged to?

Could it be that I have been targeted by her organization for a long time?

As the situation was unclear, Pramiya did not want to confront Sakurai Izumi directly.

Especially after the failure of the revenge plan against the cat cafe, Pramiya has decided to avoid a head-on confrontation with Sakurai Izumi.

At this time, the appearance of Kenji Hagiwara and Kyoko was just right!

If we can control these two people, will we be able to make Sakurai Izumi hesitate and have the leverage to coerce her?

Even more, wouldn't it be great if he could force Izumi Sakurai to take action and use that organization to help him deal with the members of Nada Unichi Tokitiki?

Oh, by the way, I heard that Sakurai Izumi has a technology that can make you look younger. If I could get my hands on it...

"…Tina? Christina?"

Pramiya snapped back to her senses and turned her gaze back to the man sitting opposite her: "Ah, sorry dear, I was a little distracted."

The man leaned forward, stretched out his hand from the other side of the table and placed it on her hand, and asked with a serious expression: "What's wrong? Did you find anything unusual?"

Pramiya calmly withdrew her hand, took a sip of the champagne, and smiled calmly, "No, I just saw two acquaintances by accident."

She took the initiative to point the man in the direction of Hagiwara Kenji and Kyoko: "Those two are acquaintances of the detective Sakurai we commissioned."

The man looked in the direction that Pramya pointed, with a surprised expression: "Huh, it's him?"

Pramya raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you know that man?"

"Yes. He is also a policeman, from the Public Security Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. He is considered my former colleague."

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you said he is an acquaintance of Sakurai Izumi, let's go over and say hello later."
