Soon, Aki Tsukasa drove according to the address given by Kanako Sekiya, who had invited them earlier.
He arrived at Katsukiyo Kaiga’s house.
After getting out of the car, Ran Mouri quietly leaned towards Sonoko Suzuki.
“Sonoko, I asked my mom for tips on making chocolate yesterday!
I'll give it to Aki-kun when the party is over!”
As Ran Mouri spoke, she secretly glanced at Aki Tsukasa to make sure he couldn’t hear.
This was meant to be a final gift for Aki Tsukasa.
If he knew beforehand, there would be no surprise.
Sonoko Suzuki heard Ran Mouri’s words, her eyelids drooped slightly, she didn’t dare to look directly at her best friend.
She clutched the bag in her hand.
It also contained a piece of chocolate she made herself.
“I’m sorry, Ran, I want to date Aki-kun too… ”
After much hesitation, Sonoko Suzuki finally decided to follow her heart.
Although, it might betray Ran.
When Aki Tsukasa parked the car, his exceptional hearing had already picked up the conversation.
He chuckled softly and looked at Conan beside him, “Let’s go, I promised to bring you here for a big meal today.”
“Really?” Conan looked suspicious.
Since he hadn’t solved many cases, Kogoro Mouri still didn’t have much fame.
Conan didn’t follow him when he took a simple tracking investigation case.
He originally wanted to stay home and read detective novels to pass the time, but Aki Tsukasa called him out.
“You’re here!” Kanako Sekiya ran out.
Because of the previous invitation, she knew Aki Tsukasa would bring Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki together.
She didn’t expect him to bring a child.
“Is this Aki-kun’s brother?”
“No, he’s a relative of a neighbor I know, I brought him along. I didn’t have a chance to tell you beforehand.”
“That’s fine, this kid is so cute!”
Originally, this Valentine’s Day party was just a gathering of their Mibu University Tennis Club.
Yumi Watanabe liked the club president, Katsukiyo Kaiga, while the taciturn Naoshi liked Kanako Sekiya.
Originally Kanako Sekiya had a good feeling about Katsukiyo Kaiga, but because of her friend’s feelings.
Later she saw Aki Tsukasa, a younger and handsome guy, on the street.
So she invited him too.
After a few beers, everyone’s atmosphere became lively, with laughter and chatter.
Although there are drinking age regulations.
But most young people don’t follow them.
The girls were still drinking juice.
The strong and muscular Toshihide Wakamatsu came over stupidly and tried to chat up Ran Mouri.
However, after being decisively rejected by Ran Mouri.
He became withdrawn and sat with Conan.
Katsukiyo Kaiga didn’t have any thoughts.
He wasn’t new to dating girls.
He could tell that Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri seemed to like Aki Tsukasa.
Even when they sat down, they were next to Aki Tsukasa.
So Katsukiyo Kaiga, who never had much patience.
He wasn’t willing to waste time chatting up two beautiful high school girls.
And Toshihide Wakamatsu, seeing Conan burying himself in food, also got an appetite and joined in.
“I eat eat eat, so delicious~”
Conan didn’t expect to come to this Valentine’s Day party and actually get a big meal.
Mrs. Kaiga had been a housewife for decades, and her cooking skills were still top-notch.
Ran Mouri also praised, “Auntie’s cooking is so good, Conan is eating with relish!”
Others also joined in the compliment.
Conan was heartbroken, you guys don’t know what kind of life I’ve lived.
I eat curry at Dr. Agasa’s house every day, and Dr. Agasa has been researching ramen lately.
It’s either too salty or tasteless, it’s torture.
Conan was grateful to Aki Tsukasa, it was great he brought him here today.
He thought Valentine’s Day parties would be boring, better to read detective novels.
Now he could only say, thanks Aki-kun.
“Where, you guys are all welcome!” Mrs. Kaiga covered her mouth and smiled, a flash of coldness in her eyes when she looked at Katsukiyo Kaiga.
Everyone chatted for a while.
Mrs. Kaiga said that she had prepared some desserts and cakes, and would bring them in from the kitchen soon.
“Hmm?”
Aki Tsukasa noticed that under the table, a foot was quietly rubbing against his ankle.
It moved upwards slowly and steadily.
And with the movement.
The silky smooth feel of the stockings could be clearly transmitted to his mind.
He didn’t even have to lower his head to look under the table.
Aki Tsukasa only used his soul power to know it was Sonoko Suzuki.
This was something Aki Tsukasa never expected.
Sonoko was so bold.
With so many strangers around.
Especially with Ran Mouri sitting next to her.
She was bold enough to do this.
Under the table, she was actively teasing him.
Sonoko Suzuki saw a change in expression on Aki Tsukasa’s face.
She also saw him looking at her, his eyes subtle.
She knew he had found out it was her.
Although she was a little embarrassed, Sonoko Suzuki still looked directly at Aki Tsukasa.
Her bright eyes were full of determination and sincerity.
Like stars twinkling in the night sky.
Because of their different families and personalities.
Unlike the reserved Ran Mouri, once Sonoko Suzuki made a decision.
She would bravely and directly do what she wanted.
Since that day in the cafe.
With Ran Mouri’s back turned, she kissed Aki Tsukasa.
She hadn’t seen Aki Tsukasa for days.
She would dream about him every night.
Sometimes she would have strange dreams.
As a result, the next day she had to ask the maid to help change the sheets.
Therefore, Sonoko came to this Valentine’s Day party today.
She had solidified her thoughts.
