Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 42 Xiaolan and Yuanzi

"Welcome." Xia Mei, who was near the store door, greeted the two with a smile.

"Ah, hello..." Mao Lilan, who had just entered the door, showed surprise after seeing the face of the person who greeted her, "Miss Xia Mei! So this is your shop?"

"It's Sister Xiaolan! Do you also come to Sister Xia Mei's shop to buy desserts?" Before Xia Mei could answer, the little ones who were still picking out desserts in front of the kitchen cabinet ran over and answered the other party's questions.

"Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Conan, you are all here too." Seeing several familiar children in the store, Xiaolan also smiled happily.

"That's right, today is the first day of the opening of Natsumi's and Ishino's dessert shop, and we are the first customers!"

"So that's how it is." Xiaolan looked at Xia Mei in front of her, and Ishino who came from behind the counter, and congratulated, "Then congratulations to both of you, I wish you a successful opening."

At this time, the girl standing next to Xiaolan, seeing how her little friend was so familiar with the group of people in the store, whispered a few words in the other's ear: "Hey, Xiaolan, these are all Are you acquainted? And the handsome guy behind the counter is also someone you know?"

Hearing her friend's voice, Xiaolan realized that she was busy chatting with everyone in the store and forgot to introduce her for a while, so she pulled the other party to her side: "This is my classmate Suzuki Sonoko, we just finished school When I came home, I passed by here and saw this newly opened store, so I wanted to take a look..."

"Hello, my name is Suzuki Sonoko, and I'm Xiaolan's best friend. Please give me your advice!" Seeing Ishino walking in front of her, Sonoko introduced herself directly.

"Hello, I'm Ishino, the store manager here, and this is my fiancée..." Ishino, who understands Sonoko's nympho nature, directly stated his relationship with Natsumi, and asked the other party to abandon unnecessary fantasies.

"Hello Sonoko, my name is Kasaka Natsumi, welcome to Memories Sweet House."

"Ah, hello..." Yuanzi responded to the other party, while saying in his heart that it's a pity that such a handsome guy already has a fiancee, and this Miss Xia Mei can be called the most beautiful woman she has ever seen. See for yourself It looks like it's definitely over.

After that, the little ones also introduced themselves to Yuanzi, and Xiaolan also introduced to Yuanzi that Conan was staying at her house temporarily.

"Sister Xiaolan, did you only notice this place after seeing Tianpangpang?" Ayumi asked aloud after introducing herself.

"Sweet and fat?" Xiaolan and Yuanzi showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

"That's the one." Mitsuhiko then pointed to the sugar-carved giant panda behind him, and began to explain to the two, "The giant panda over there is made of sugar. Look, does it look like the real thing?"

The two female high school students looked in the direction pointed by each other, and suddenly their eyes lit up: "Wow, it's so big, so cute, it really looks like the real thing!"

"That's right, Tianpangpang is its name. This is the qualification that our young detective team obtained as the first batch of guests!" Yuan Tai also added proudly from the side.

Since the two came from the west side of the store, they didn't see much of the sugar-carved giant pandas on the other side before entering the store.

Seeing such a lifelike giant panda sculpture at this moment, as young girls, how could they resist the temptation of such a cute thing, so they moved closer to appreciate it from all angles.

After listening to Conan explaining that this is a work of art made by Ishino with fondant technology and can be preserved for a long time, the two girls turned around and looked at Ishino with admiration.

Being watched eagerly by the two young female high school students, Ishino quietly observed Natsumi's expression from the corner of his eye, and found that the other party looked at the two with a sincere smile, and returned the two with a business-like smile.

At this time, Xia Mei didn't notice Ishino's little action, she was really happy that Ishino captured two little fans with her talent.

After all, such an outstanding man is her fiancé, which makes her feel a sense of pride.

"Mr. Ishino! Can you sell me this Sweet Plump?" Sonoko's question made the surroundings suddenly quiet, and then the three little ones protested.

"Sister Yuanzi, you can't buy Tianpangpang! If you buy it away, we won't be able to see it!"

"That's right! Tianpangpang's name was chosen by us, you have to ask our opinion first!"

"Brother Shiye, don't sell Tianpangpang, okay?"

Seeing San Xiaozhi cast hopeful eyes on him, Ishino smiled and signaled them not to worry, then looked at Yuanzi and politely refused: "Sorry, Miss Yuanzi, I have no plans to sell this work for the time being, if there is a sale in the future plan, I will let you know in advance."

Knowing that his proposal just now was too reckless, Yuanzi quickly waved his hands and said, "Where is it? I was too rude just now. I should be the one who should apologize."

Seeing Sonoko's reaction, Ishino also had a clearer understanding of the second lady of the Suzuki Group.

Although the other party was born in Suzuki's family, one of Japan's leading rich families, the family education he has received since childhood is quite good, so he does not have the arrogance that ordinary rich second generations have, nor does he have the airs of a young lady.

No wonder she can become true friends with Xiaolan, who is the daughter of the world. It seems that Yuanzi is also a good girl recognized by the will of the world.

After Xiaolan complained to Yuanzi about the other party's disrespectful behavior just now, she finally remembered the original purpose of the trip and began to choose desserts.

Seeing that Xiaolan seemed to want every one of them, with a tangled look on her face, Conan walked up to her and joked: "Sister Xiaolan really likes desserts, be careful that you will get fat if you eat too much."

After returning to the counter, Ishino couldn't help but twitched his brows when he heard Conan's speech from a straight man with low EQ.

Xiaolan was not angry when she heard Conan's words, she just took it as Tong Yanwuji's kind reminder, touched the other person's head and said: "No, I don't buy all of them for myself, I also buy them for my father, of course there are also Conan It's your share, pick it yourself."

"I also have a share?" Conan pointed to himself suspiciously, a little confused.

Seeing Conan's confused expression, Xiaolan smiled and explained: "Yes, you forgot, didn't Dad receive a strange letter of entrustment yesterday, asking him to go to that island... oh, it's called Do you want to investigate the location of Moon Shadow Island?"

"Tomorrow Saturday is the appointed day, and we have to go to sea by boat early in the morning, so we don't have time to make breakfast, why don't we buy some snacks for breakfast, and bring some to eat on the boat..."
