"I can't help it, Dad's restaurant has already accepted reservations until next year, so it's no wonder that Dad is so busy. I shouldn't be willful with my dad......

"Huh? You said I'm sorry I couldn't attend my father's visit day and sports day? Haha, what are you doing with this now? Ever since I was a child, my dad has always liked to cook.

"Well, yes, so it doesn't matter...... What! The case of wine I received earlier was sent by my dad to celebrate our engagement! I'm so happy...... Well, dad needs to pay attention to his body too......"

One after another, Takato seemed to be a little intermittent and probably listened to Shimahara Hana, who was talking on the phone inside, as if he had hung up the phone, so Takato was preparing to send the food in at this time.

However, at this moment, before Takato pushed open the door of the lounge, through the crack in the door, Takato saw Shimahara Hanain in the room crying "wow"-

This......

Noticing the situation in the house, I thought that this would go in, but I couldn't help but hesitate-

It's not good to go in when people are crying......

However, it's really pitiful, not only can't his father come to his engagement party, but he may not even have time for the wedding......

As a wedding that may only come once in a lifetime......

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan suddenly recalled what he had seen and heard before, and seemed to feel that this might not be the case, maybe this Miss Shimahara Hanon may not have this wedding in her life, so ......

Isn't that more pitiful?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan looked helpless and didn't know what to do.

But at this time, it seemed that he was aware of the movement in the house, Shimahara Hanain quickly wiped the tears on his face, and then walked towards the door in a panic, and pushed the door open at once, and saw Gao Yuan standing outside the door at this time.

In this regard, being caught off guard by Shimahara Hanayin, Gao Yuan looked embarrassed, and could only point to the plate in his hand and said:

"The new doctor asked me to deliver food......

"Oh...... Good ......"

Seeing this, he found that it was someone he didn't know standing at the door, but because Takato mentioned the new Tomoaki, Shimahara Hanaon only smiled awkwardly, nodded, and was about to take the plate in Takato's hand-

"Huh? You are...... Wise Mr. Gaoyuan? ”

"Uh......"

A little surprised, I didn't expect the other party to be able to call out his name, but I didn't know what the specific situation was, so Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and replied:

"Yes, I'm wise and lofty."

"Wow! I know you, and I've seen your deeds on the news! I didn't expect to have two detectives at my engagement party......"

In this way, seeing Takato admit, Shimahara Hanain seemed to be very excited and said:

"It's a pity that Shinichi Kudo didn't come, otherwise it would have been perfect......"

Muttered, Shimahara Hanain muttered in a low voice, and then said to Gao Yuan:

"You're really welcome to my engagement party!"

"Uh...... It's also an honor to be here for such a great party......"

In this regard, in the face of such an enthusiastic attitude of the other party, Gao Yuan was a little overwhelmed for a while, so he could only reply like this.

Then, looking at the plate in his hand, Gao Yuan couldn't help but hand over the plate immediately, and Shimahara Hana, who seemed very happy, also happily took the plate and opened the lid on it, only to see that there was a plate of curry inside-

"Ahh It's Kensuke's 'after-dinner curry', and I like this one the most! ”

Looking at the curry on the plate, Hanon Shimahara said happily, and then he was going to bring the plate into the lounge-

"Ah, by the way, can Mr. Wise please do me a favor?"

Suddenly, Shimahara Hanon seemed to think of something and asked Takato......

……

"Uh...... It's a heavy ......."

Coming out of the warehouse in the basement, Gao Yuan, carrying a box of imported wine, climbed up the stairs, looking a little difficult, temporarily put the box of wine at the corner of the stairs, and took a break-

"This is treating me like a coolie......

Just now, Takato agreed to Shimojimahara Hanon's request, hoping that Takato would go to the warehouse in the basement and bring this box of foreign liquor to the party site.

It's just that this case of wine is still a bit heavy to carry.

"No, the party is about to start, we need to hurry up and ......"

Thinking like this, after a little slowdown, Gao Yuan continued to lift the box, and was about to walk towards it-

"Isn't that okay? Then I'll have to give birth. ”

However, just around the corner of the first floor passing by Takato, across a corridor, from the back door of the restaurant, Nana Yasuda's voice came.

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly, it was originally just a guess, but when I heard Nana Yasuda say such words directly, Takato couldn't help but feel depressed.

And turned his head to look, and saw that at the back door, Nana Yasuda and Kensuke Motoki were chatting quietly there at the moment-

"...... that won't bother you"

A little stunned, Nana Yasuda said this-

"That's too heavy, isn't it...... While you haven't been discovered, it's better to slip away as if you haven't seen it......"

Since the parties are not their friends, this kind of emotional entanglement related to privacy, as an outsider's position, Gao Yuan thought so in his heart, lifted the box vigorously, tried not to make a sound, and left here quickly......

……

Soon, after moving the box of wine to the back kitchen, it didn't take long for Nana Yasuda to come to the back kitchen, and there was not much time left before the party started, so seeing that Gao Yuan was here, Nana Yasuda asked Gao Yuan to do some final deployment work.

And Gao Yuan, leaving what he had just seen and hearing behind, as if nothing had happened, nodded in agreement, and began to move the meals, wine glasses, tableware and other things that had been prepared in the back kitchen to the outside hall, and put these things in accordance with the specifications of the buffet.

At the same time, the tables in this hall have already been arranged under the arrangement of the new Tomoaki, forming a circle, leaving a large space for people to stand in the middle.

And from the staircase on the second floor, a red carpet is laid out, which passes directly through the circle of tables until it reaches the wall of the hall. And on the wall at the end of this red carpet, there is a slogan for the engagement party.

All the tables are now decorated with flower baskets and balloons.

The whole hall will look very lively, and the people who came to this party also seem very happy at the moment, waiting for the arrival of the two engaged couples-

"Ah, where did you just go? How do you look tired? ”

At this time, finally finished being busy and returned to the crowd of people attending the party, Xiao Wai saw the figure of Gao Yuan, who had disappeared for a long time, couldn't help but walk to his side, and asked a little coldly.

"Just a little favor......"

There was nothing physically tired, but what I saw and heard just now really made Gao Yuan's heart feel very tired, so he replied helplessly.

And at this time,As the party master of ceremonies, the new Tomoaki is on standby at the bar on the side at this time,Nana Yasuda, the leader of the service group, observed the situation of the venue,Seeing that everyone participating in the party was enthusiastically standing on both sides of the red carpet of the venue,At the same time, the two protagonists are ready,Nana Yasuda gave a signal to the new Tomoaki to start.。

So, Tomoaki Shinide pressed the button of the CD player behind the bar, and the melodious melody of Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro" suddenly sounded in the venue-

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next two protagonists of today are about to appear, let's welcome them with warm applause!"

Tomoaki Shinide walked out from behind the bar with the microphone and pointed to the staircase in the hall that connected to the second floor—

At this moment, as the crowd of party participants resounded with a tidal wave of applause, everyone's eyes focused on the stairs......

This engagement party has begun......
