Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: Engagement Party

Soon, Yuu Hoshimiya had a rough plan.

With his current strength and background, there was no need for any complicated process.

Gather intelligence, then directly visit them to resolve the misunderstanding, and finally ask for repayment of kindness.

But it had to be done quickly; in the bizarre timeline of the Conan world, who knows when the corresponding event would happen.

Just as Yuu Hoshimiya decided to start taking action tomorrow, probably because he chatted with Terumi Hoshino for too long, it attracted the attention of Yoko Okino, Yuki Takeno, and Kaoru Kusano.

Although the Earth Ladies team had disbanded, the relationship between the four members was still very good.

Yoko Okino and Yuu Hoshimiya were somewhat acquaintances; she brought Yuki Takeno and Kaoru Kusano and walked over actively.

"Terumi, Mr. Hoshimiya, good evening."

"Yoko, Yuki, Kaoru." Terumi Hoshino also nodded in response, then actively introduced them to Yuu Hoshimiya.

After simple mutual introductions, Yuu Hoshimiya got to know all members of the Earth Ladies team.

At this time, Yoko Okino clasped her small white hands and said with a brilliant smile: "Actually, Mr. Hoshimiya and I knew each other before; I wonder if Mr. Hoshimiya still remembers..."

"Of course I remember Miss Yoko."

Yuu Hoshimiya shrugged, "You should know that I came to the banquet today as Tomoko's male companion."

"Tomoko... Tomoko Ikezawa?"

Yoko Okino's eyes widened, her cute small mouth slightly opened, looking shocked.

She was very impressed with Tomoko Ikezawa.

She originally thought that after that incident, Tomoko Ikezawa's idol career would be over, but unexpectedly, after a period of silence, Tomoko Ikezawa became even more popular than before.

Others might just think Tomoko Ikezawa suddenly got enlightened, but as someone who knew the inside story, Yoko Okino could be sure there was a secret.

Could it be that Tomoko Ikezawa got help from Mr. Hoshimiya?

Yoko Okino blinked her eyes, having a guess in her heart, but not completely sure.

Not everyone is an intelligence expert. Yoko Okino was just a female idol taking the pure route; being able to guess with almost no knowledge was already considered intuitive and quite intelligent.

Seeing Yuu Hoshimiya chatting happily with Yoko Okino, the seemingly cool Terumi Hoshino felt sour in her heart.

Terumi Hoshino herself felt that her jealousy was inexplicable and groundless, but she still interrupted their conversation.

"Yuu-kun, next Saturday is Kaoru's engagement party; do you want to come?"

Terumi Hoshino's invitation was a bit overstepping; she also realized it wasn't good, and quickly looked at Kaoru Kusano.

"Kaoru, is it okay?"

Kaoru Kusano stared at Terumi Hoshino playfully, her gaze wandering back and forth between Yuu Hoshimiya and Terumi Hoshino.

"Kaoru!"

Seeing Terumi Hoshino getting anxious, she smiled leisurely: "Of course, your friend is my friend, Terumi."

"Besides, I originally asked Yoko to help me invite that Detective Mouri; the more people, the livelier it will be."

Kaoru Kusano added a sentence; anyway, this engagement party was just acting, it didn't matter if there were more people, maybe it would be livelier.

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's name, Yuu Hoshimiya subconsciously thought: Wonder if preventing the two death gods, Conan and Kogoro Mouri, from attending could directly prevent the event from happening...

However, he quickly threw this thought away.

Compared to boring things like experiments, it was better to maintain the development of events as much as possible to facilitate his plan.

Yuu Hoshimiya thought for a moment, smiled and nodded: "I happen to have nothing to do next Saturday."

Today is Friday, eight days until next Saturday.

Eight days is enough for him to solve the matters of Mari Terahara and the Aoshima sisters, and by the way turn the three women into his exclusive female artists.

Strictly speaking, Mari Terahara was not an artist; she was just the manager of her secret crush.

But now with her looks, it would be easy to debut.

Especially now without plastic surgery, it was Mari Terahara's peak appearance.

Judging from this point, there was probably still some time before Mari Terahara's incident, but Yuu Hoshimiya didn't want to wait.

Collecting female stars, just fulfilling selfish desires; why make it so complicated? Just finish early and satisfy himself.

Yuu Hoshimiya planned well, but the timeline of Conan-science would give a big slap to anyone who planned according to time.

After getting familiar with Yoko Okino and the other three women, eating and drinking for more than an hour, the banquet came to an end.

At 10 PM, Yuu Hoshimiya and Tomoko Ikezawa returned to the hotel's luxury suite.

Under Tomoko Ikezawa's attentive service, he spent an incomparably blissful and wonderful night.

Waking up, Yuu Hoshimiya found that the time had come to Saturday.

But not the Saturday following Friday, but the Saturday that should be next week.

Which was the day of Kaoru Kusano's engagement party.

Confused for a while, Yuu Hoshimiya could only change his plan speechlessly.

Put Mari Terahara and the Aoshima sisters aside; solve Yuki Takeno and Kaoru Kusano's matter first today.

After finishing, pack the Earth Ladies team together onto the bed... In the evening, Yuu Hoshimiya took Ran and Sonoko, along with Kogoro Mouri and Conan, downstairs to Kaoru Kusano's apartment.

Ran and Sonoko also knew Yoko Okino; learning that Yuu Hoshimiya was going to attend the engagement party, they clamored to come along.

It happened that Kogoro Mouri called Ran, asking if she wanted to go to the engagement party invited by Yoko Okino together tonight.

Plus Kaoru Kusano's attitude of 'the more the merrier', Ran and Sonoko also came along.

Two taxis arrived one after another.

As soon as he got off, Yuu Hoshimiya saw Yoko Okino and Terumi Hoshino waiting downstairs at the apartment.

Yoko Okino wore a red windbreaker, revealing her snow-white neck; her brown hair was tied with a hairband, wearing glasses for disguise.

After all, she was a top star; she still had to cover up her identity when going out, but even so, she still looked very pure and beautiful.

And Terumi Hoshino changed into a more eye-catching outfit; she was wearing a purple silk dress.

The skirt fluttered lightly, matched with silver high heels, and the whole person exuded a charming temperament.

The Earth Ladies team had long passed its peak, so Terumi Hoshino didn't have Yoko Okino's worries, just showing her most beautiful side to Yuu Hoshimiya generously.

"Yuu-kun! Mr. Mouri!"

Yoko Okino greeted actively, intending to show the hospitality of a host enthusiastically.

As Kaoru Kusano's friend and the inviting party, she could be considered half a host in front of Yuu Hoshimiya and the others.

As a result, Kogoro Mouri was more enthusiastic than her, with a purely boy-crazy look, making her a bit at a loss.

Terumi Hoshino didn't have such worries, walking directly to Yuu Hoshimiya and greeting him intimately and enthusiastically.

If it weren't for Ran and Sonoko hugging Yuu Hoshimiya left and right, she would probably have held Yuu Hoshimiya's arm directly.

Kogoro Mouri was very famous recently; the Sleeping Detective was known throughout Tokyo. Without Yuu Hoshimiya, Terumi Hoshino, as a mystery fan, would probably be somewhat interested in Kogoro Mouri.

But now Yuu Hoshimiya was here; how could she be interested in other men?

Before meeting, Terumi Hoshino simply liked Yuu Hoshimiya's looks and reasoning ability.

After meeting, just a short contact of one or two hours, she was completely fascinated by Yuu Hoshimiya.

"Ah! Miss Yoko and Miss Terumi!"

Sonoko became excited upon seeing the two, "I used to be a fan of the Earth Ladies team! Pity it disbanded later."

Yoko Okino was somewhat surprised, smiling at Sonoko: "Sonoko, didn't expect you to know our Earth Ladies team; really happy."

"Of course! Actually, the one I like most is you, Miss Yoko."

Sonoko smirked and glanced at Yuu Hoshimiya.

"Then your taste is really good."

Yoko Okino smiled happily and looked up at Yuu Hoshimiya; her ambiguous gaze wandered back and forth between Yuu Hoshimiya and Sonoko.

"Of course, I also like Miss Hoshino representing the starry sky very much! You are so beautiful and mysterious!"

Sonoko said to Terumi Hoshino as well.

Terumi Hoshino smiled gracefully, "Although the Earth Ladies team disbanded, our friendship remains. Now we are also trying new fields, hoping to continue bringing surprises to everyone."

"Alright, alright, everyone don't stand here; let's go up together."

Yoko Okino had a headache from the overly enthusiastic Kogoro Mouri; seeing the greetings were about done, she suggested immediately.

Everyone had no objection, and the group walked towards Kaoru Kusano's apartment.

Walking along, unknowingly, Yoko Okino also got close to Yuu Hoshimiya.

The other old man and little kid present looked at Yuu Hoshimiya surrounded by beauties, blowing beards and staring.

But no matter how unwilling, they could only look enviously.

Compared to uncles and brats, a young handsome guy of similar age to Yoko Okino and Terumi Hoshino would naturally be more popular.

Not only were they envious, but another man wearing black clothes and sunglasses also walked over, face full of envy.

"Damn it, which guy is so lucky? Surrounded by so many beauties?"

"What a waste of resources!"

That man cursed softly, and Conan nodded in agreement.

And seeing that man, Yoko Okino shouted: "Ah, it's Mr. Kenzaki!"

Sonoko, who liked watching TV dramas, recognized him immediately, "You are the actor Osamu Kenzaki who plays in 'Detective Samonji'!"

'Detective Samonji' is a hit drama recently, telling the story of a samurai detective solving cases in the Meiji era of Japan.

Osamu Kenzaki took off his sunglasses and greeted everyone.

After a simple mutual introduction, he looked at Kogoro Mouri and said with a surprised face.

"Miss Yoko, didn't expect you to really invite Detective Mouri over."

He hurried to Kogoro Mouri and said enthusiastically: "Detective Mouri, I am your fan. Because I play a detective, I have seen your reasoning; it's really wonderful."

Conan couldn't help complaining beside him: "The logic of that drama doesn't make sense; very melodramatic."

Sonoko nodded and echoed: "Indeed, and the male lead isn't as handsome as Teacher Hoshimiya."

Osamu Kenzaki was somewhat embarrassed, touched his nose awkwardly, a wry smile appearing on his face, feeling somewhat hurt in his heart: "A TV drama that even children can't stand watching is indeed somewhat of a failure."

He complimented Kogoro Mouri with a wry smile: "Should have let Mr. Mouri review the script first if I knew earlier."

Praised a few words, Kogoro Mouri instantly got carried away, laughing with his tongue out.

Looking at Kogoro Mouri's classic stupid appearance, Yuu Hoshimiya shook his head secretly.

Fortunately, Osamu Kenzaki was being polite. If really asking Kogoro Mouri for reference, then this drama would really rub the audience's IQ on the ground.

At this time, Yoko Okino on the side smiled: "Kenzaki-kun, don't pretend to be pitiful. Now your drama ratings are rising constantly; what else are you dissatisfied with? Artistry and commerciality are inherently difficult to coexist."

Hearing this, Osamu Kenzaki recovered and laughed: "Alright, let's not talk about this; we should go up, otherwise Kaoru will be impatient."

"Yo yo yo, changing address so quickly, calling so intimately!"

Osamu Kenzaki chuckled twice, "Of course, I am very professional."

Ran realized then and asked in surprise: "In that case, the man getting engaged this time is Mr. Kenzaki."

Osamu Kenzaki snapped his fingers, "Bingo. Me playing the male lead and Kaoru Kusano playing the female lead in the TV drama are the male and female leads of tonight's engagement party."

"Turning fiction into reality, wow. If the media knows, there will definitely be many blessings." Ran chuckled.

Osamu Kenzaki's face changed color immediately, "This is a secret. Detective Mouri and everyone, please don't reveal this matter after attending the engagement party."

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, as an elder, took the lead to express his attitude.

He patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Kenzaki."

Everyone soon took the elevator to the fourth floor. Yuu Hoshimiya at the front rang the doorbell, but no one opened the door inside.

"Went out?"

Yuu Hoshimiya found the door wasn't closed, so he gently pushed open the door and walked in.

Instantly, a sound of wind breaking rang out, and a tennis racket swung down.

Yuu Hoshimiya grabbed the tennis racket subconsciously.

And the woman holding the tennis racket used too much force and fell into his arms at once.

Yuu Hoshimiya instinctively reached out to support, instantly squeezing a mass of things.

Yuu Hoshimiya rubbed subconsciously and couldn't help being disappointed; A-cup, can't afford it.

The short-haired woman broke free from Yuu Hoshimiya's arms somewhat panic-stricken.

Everyone walked in, and Yoko Okino frowned and complained: "Kaoru, is this how you welcome us?"

Seeing everyone, Kaoru Kusano apologized immediately: "Sorry, too many peeping toms recently!"

This was the heroine of tonight—Kaoru Kusano.

Very young, only twenty years old, the youngest member of the Earth Ladies team.

Although young, her looks were the most average among the four women, only loved by the audience for her outstanding acting skills.

Because Yuu Hoshimiya walked in the front, his action just now wasn't seen by anyone. Ran saw the flushed Kaoru Kusano and thought she was blushing because of mistaking the person.

Ran asked: "What peeping toms?"

Osamu Kenzaki on the side said: "Recently, someone has been wandering around Kaoru's home, ringing the doorbell and running away immediately; the kind of guy who likes pranks, making Kaoru very scared."

Kaoru Kusano apologized again: "That's why I came out with a tennis racket after hearing the doorbell. Sorry, Mr. Hoshimiya, you came specially to attend my engagement party today and almost got hit by me."

Yuu Hoshimiya waved his hand and said: "It's okay, didn't you miss me!"

Yoko laughed lightly immediately, came behind Kaoru Kusano, and put her hands on her shoulders.

"Since it's okay, don't mind these. Let me introduce, this is the heroine of tonight's engagement party, the youngest member of the team, but the earliest to get married, Kaoru Kusano."

Kaoru Kusano waved her hand and laughed: "You make me embarrassed. I just think getting married at twenty is a very cool thing, just like my idol Yukiko Fujimine."

Hearing Yukiko Fujimine's name, Conan's face changed.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to this brat, saving the time for explanation.

Yuu Hoshimiya also sighed; Yukiko was really famous.

Nearly twenty years passed, and many people still remember the fake marriage she fabricated.
