After resting in the room for a while, Yuanzi's voice came downstairs to announce that dinner was ready. The three of them went downstairs to the restaurant with everyone else, and sat at the dining table to have dinner.
The term "just for dinner" is actually not accurate. To be precise, it should be "just for dessert".
Unlike Yui Shirai, who prefers red and spicy food, Baijiu himself prefers food that looks appetizing—not necessarily beautifully presented, but food that looks delicious.
kind.
Regarding this point, Japanese delicacies do have a way of looking attractive.
Yeah, but this time we had Western-style desserts, which were black tea biscuits and snacks. They were just so-so. I couldn’t taste them anyway, so I just stuffed some into them.
This time we came down early to have dessert before the meal. Dessert was secondary, the main thing was to sit together and chat among friends. Well, people at the table quickly started chatting while Xiaolan introduced herself.
.
The thin handsome boy in Sonoko's mouth is called Kakutani Hiroki, the fat handsome boy is called Takahashi Ryoichi, the neither fat nor thin handsome boy is called Ota Masaru, followed by Sonoko's sister Suzuki Ayako, and another short-haired Chikako Ikeda.
It is said that these people were members of the same club in college, and this gathering was also a social gathering, led by Suzuki Sonoko's sister, Suzuki Ayako - which is why the gathering place was the Suzuki family villa.
When Chikako Ikeda was introduced, I immediately had an impression: "Ah, is that the screenwriter of "The Blue Kingdom" that is currently being released, Chikako Ikeda?"
The moment Xiaolan mentioned "The Blue Kingdom", Shiraijiu couldn't help but notice that the entire villa became visibly dark.
Shiraijiu couldn't help but focus on the fat and handsome guy, Ryoichi Takahashi. The malice exuding from this guy was almost as strong as Gin's usual level, and he didn't know what would happen when it condensed into the incarnation of malice.
What does the malicious crystal that comes out taste like——
Shiraijiu watched Takahashi Ryoichi lick his lips and stuffed a piece of delicate pastry into his mouth to satisfy his craving.
Speaking of which, why is the face shape of Ryoichi Takahashi so similar to the bandaged man I saw outside the villa before? He is also similar in height... but his body shape...
Is this what a normal fat person has a big belly?
Shiraiji looked at these former club teammates talking and reminiscing about the past. Even if he joked about Takahashi Ryoichi alone, this fat man who seemed to have a good temper was not angry at all. He looked like he was in a good atmosphere.
Thoughts.
Unless they are biological brothers, it is rare for two people to have almost the same face shape and height. Instead of believing that this is a coincidence, Baijiu is more willing to believe that Takahashi Ryoichi is disguised and that he is the bandage man.
.
He is such a dark guy who likes to speculate on others' malice - besides, this man is obviously joking with everyone, but his whole body exudes malice as strong as gin.
Seeing this happy scene, Sonoko's sister Suzuki Ayako couldn't help but think of her time in college, and also thought of the only other club member who didn't come today. She smiled and felt depressed: "If Atsuko hadn't happened,
If that happens, I will definitely come here..."
It was like stepping on four landmines, causing the expressions of the four old classmates on the spot to change.
With this change, the light in the villa became even lower. Not only did Ryoichi Takahashi become more malicious, but Chikako Ikeda also began to exude malice.
However, Xiaolan and Conan asked curiously: "Atsushi, Atsuko?"
With a "pop", Chikako Ikeda slapped the table and stood up, interrupting the two people who wanted to ask, "Stop talking! Stop mentioning Atsuko's matter!"
After calming down for a while, Chikako Ikeda said and sat down, "Everyone took time out of their busy schedules to come here for vacation. Let's not mention the person who died two years ago! What a disappointment!"
Judging from Shiraijiu's understanding of these words, I am afraid that he was trying to explain his gaffe just now, or to cover up his guilty conscience, so what he said was particularly rude.
Based on her performance, Baijiu guessed that Atsuko's death probably had something to do with her.
Looking at the other side, the pseudo-fat man named Takahashi Ryoichi's malice has almost become solid. If it was originally just a malice that wanted to kill people, now it is probably a malice that wants to tear the people into pieces.
.
I don’t know if it will work this time...
It's been a long time since Shiraijiku collected any grievances. He didn't have any grievances in his hands, which was really uncomfortable. It was like a person who was used to being poor suddenly started to have a stable income, so he always wanted to put some money in his card to feel at ease.
It's a truth.
Shiraijiu suddenly looked forward to it.
Of course, Chikako Ikeda's rude attitude towards the deceased also made everyone present a little unhappy, and everyone exuded some malice.
——Except Xiaolan and Conan.
Seeing that the originally good atmosphere was suppressed, and the quarrel between good friends started, Suzuki Ayako quickly smoothed things over: "Forget it, don't do this, it's my fault... You guys take a rest first, I'll go prepare dinner right away."
Hearing this, Takahashi Ryoichi immediately said: "Then let me go up and repair the roof. I heard from the weather forecast that it will rain heavily after I finish the work."
How could Suzuki Ayako disagree? Naturally, she nodded repeatedly, "I'll trouble you, Takahashi, be careful!"
It was natural to leave this matter to Ryoichi Takahashi, who was originally in charge of props in the club. Everyone agreed and didn't feel anything was wrong.
With Suzuki Ayako's rescue and Takahashi Ryoichi's interruption, the usual atmosphere relaxed again. Hiroki Kakutani, who was in charge of photography, breathed a sigh of relief and suggested: "In that case, let's play cards together~"
"Ah~ ok!" Xiaolan Yuanzi also breathed a sigh of relief and expressed that she was very interested in playing cards or something.
However, some people don't appreciate it.
Chikako Ikeda stood up abruptly again, ignored everyone, and turned around to leave without saying a word.
As the initiator of the event, Hiroki Kakutani felt a little embarrassed and stopped Chikako Ikeda: "Hey, Chikako, where are you going?"
"Go for a walk!" Chikako went out without looking back.
Take a walk? But Takahashi just said that it will rain heavily in a while.
Hiroki Kakutani was worried, smiled sheepishly at Sonoko Ran, and chased after Chikako, "Wait a minute, Chikako, didn't Takahashi say it will rain?"
"Chikako!"
"..."
The two people walked in tandem, one behind the other, and entered the forest together.
In the room, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
