Hearing what Concubine Yingli said to Xiaolan to let Xiaolan meet with him less, Conan, who was the "kid" they mentioned, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Although I can feel that Fei Yingli's words are somewhat because of the relationship between Maori Kogoro, so he talks to Xiaolan with biased emotions, but Conan himself can't deny that there will be this kind of emotion, and it is indeed because he hasn't appeared in front of everyone as Kudo Shinichi for too long......

At that meeting next year ago, Xiaolan's mother's attitude towards herself was not like this......

Recalling some of the events that happened before he became smaller, Conan felt a little depressed in his heart-

Sure enough, it still seems strange to others.

But in the final analysis, it is true that since I became smaller, I have not been able to show up to meet everyone I know with my real identity, so there is no way to cause more or less people around me to change their perceptions......

"Hey, I really want to change back......"

With a sigh, Conan thought so in his heart, and finally had no choice but to return to the table......

……

And after Mori Kogoro and the others sat down at the table, before the food was served, the first thing that was served was a bottle of red wine. And the wine was delivered by a sommelier in a dignified and elegant suit. He looked to be in his thirties, and before and after coming to the table, Maori Kogoro and Fei Yingli greeted him after seeing each other, and the other party also responded to Maori Kogoro and them, and chatted a few words with some familiarity.

In this regard, seeing that Maori Kogoro and Fei Yingli seemed to know the taster, Conan seemed a little surprised, so Xiaolan, who was sitting next to Conan, explained to Conan in a whisper:

"I only know that this person's surname is Zemu, and he is a friend of my father and mother who met when they were very young."

In this regard, after hearing this, Conan, who had some worries, took the initiative to explain to himself in the face of Xiaolan beside him, Conan just nodded lightly and replied "Oh", for Xiaolan's gentleness, Conan's heart was deeply touched.

Then, as if he was a little afraid to look at Xiaolan, Conan turned to look at the gentleman who was gracefully starting to open red wine, and then, Conan noticed that in front of the heart of the other party's clothes, there was a peculiar grape badge, so Conan wanted to divert his attention, and couldn't help asking:

"What's that grape badge?"

"That's the taster's mark!"

In this regard, seeing Conan asking like this, Xiaolan couldn't help but lean towards Conan's position, as if in order to get closer to see the badge worn by Mr. Zemu, Xiaolan explained:

"The so-called sommeliers are experts like Mr. Sawaki, who specialize in wine tasting!"

"And what's around his neck?"

Further, looking at what looked like a saucer hanging around Mr. Sawagi's neck, Conan continued to ask curiously.

"It's called a tasting dish, and it's used specifically for wine tasting."

In this way, when Xiaolan explained, I saw that Mr. Sawaki had already opened the wine stopper, and then carefully and elegantly, poured the wine in the wine bottle into the decanter-

"Oh, you know a lot!"

However, seeing that his daughter was able to say these knowledge points, Maori Kogoro, as a father, was slightly surprised.

In response, Xiaolan smiled and responded:

"These are all written in Mr. Nishina's book. For example, red wine is suitable for room temperature, and white wine is best kept at zero degrees Celsius. ”

It seems that she saw Maori Kogoro asking, and Xiaolan gave more examples of what she knew.

"Yes, that's what most people do."

And after Xiaolan said these things, Mr. Zemu, who had already poured the wine from the decanter into the cup, couldn't help but speak:

"However, the temperature of the wine is mainly determined by the preferences of the drinker."

As he spoke, Mr. Ssawagi poured two glasses of wine into the goblet and put them in front of Mori Kogoro and Concubine Eiri, so Mori Kogoro pretended to be elegant and picked up the wine glass, first shook it, looked at it, smelled it, and then took a small sip gently, and then began to close his eyes and taste it, and finally nodded, looked at Mr. Zeki with a smile and said affirmatively:

"It's a very good wine."

"A light red wine like this, if you drink it after icing, it tastes pretty good."

Following Mori Kogoro's words, Mr. Sawaki also began to explain the red wine that Mori Kogoro and they are drinking now, and then said while pouring the wine:

"The most important thing is that the ice suppresses the original astringency in the wine."

"That's right......"

In this regard, it seems that it is the first time to hear such a statement, Xiaolan replied with some seriousness, as if she was memorizing this knowledge.

"I said Xiaolan, I think you would be interested in this kind of thing at your age?"

Seeing Xiaolan's somewhat serious look, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"This means that the two of us are not young now."

In this regard, Fei Yingli on the side said to Maori Kogoro.

"Well, that's right."

Nodding slightly, Maori Kogoro responded without refuting -

Immediately, the two seemed to feel some change in time, and they laughed together.

Seeing this, seeing that the relationship between the two seemed to have eased, Xiaolan and Conan couldn't help but show a surprised expression, feeling that tonight's party, although there were some twists and turns ahead, was going smoothly.

"Look at the two of them, it feels like they're in harmony!"

Secretly leaning into Conan's ear, Xiaolan blocked the side of her mouth with one hand, as if she didn't want Maori Kogoro and the others on the other side to hear it, Xiaolan said.

"Hmm."

Nodding slightly, Conan replied affirmatively.

So in this way, with the easing of the relationship between Maori Kogoro and Concubine Yingli, the whole process of this dinner was quite warm.

Unconsciously, when the meals were all on the table and the four of them had eaten about the same, Xiaolan, who was watching Conan happily eating steak, noticed that Conan was eating with sauce all over his mouth at the moment, and looked dirty, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel that Conan was really a child no matter how smart he was, so he said:

"Conan, it's up to you! Eating and eating all over the face of ......"

As she spoke, Xiaolan picked up the napkin on the table and came up to help Conan wipe his mouth-

"Ah, it's okay......"

In this regard, seeing Xiaolan coming to him like this, Conan said with some embarrassment.

"Here we go! Don't move! ”

Seeing Conan's shy appearance, Xiaolan continued to step forward and said like a child.

Seeing this, seeing Xiaolan's face getting closer and closer, looking at her lips, Conan couldn't help but think of the divination results during the day, but at the same time, he also felt Xiaolan's tone of coaxing a child, and he was completely defenseless to treat himself as a child.

"I'm like this, and the relationship with Xiaolan ......"
