Izuki Karita could see it all clearly.
It's not that he enjoys offending Hattori Heizo to his face.
Rather, it was during the period when his divine sense covered the Hattori family that...
He knew everything about the conversation between Hattori Heizo and Ikenami Shizuka in the study.
Hattori Heizo's earlier offer of an olive branch was clearly on orders from his superiors.
In an attempt to build a closer relationship, he even knelt down and begged Ikenami Shizuka to treat the distinguished guest well.
Izuki Karuta guessed that it was highly likely that the news of her burning down the research lab and even killing Gin had been relayed to the ears of the higher-ups in Japan by an undercover agent from the brewery.
Hattori Heizo is a high-ranking officer in the Sakura National Police, so it's normal for him to know some information.
Hattori Heizo advised, "Shizuka, you always say you admire the strong, but only those who defeat you deserve to be looked at."
"I've heard that Izuki Shigeta is a master; I can challenge him for you first."
"If you also lose, for the sake of the future of Japan, please..."
Hattori Heizo and Ikenami Shizuka have been married in name only for so many years, so it would be better to let this so-called wife play a real role.
Ikeba Shizuka's gaze was complex.
It's not because of this outrageous request,
Instead, they were shocked by Izuki Karuta's unfathomable strength.
It's astonishing that a country values it so much.
However, this was a rare opportunity for Ikeba Shizuka, so she pretended to be somewhat disgusted and agreed.
After witnessing Izuki Karuta's terrifying strength in the training ground,
I now admire them to the point of complete awe.
Given Izuki Karuta's connections, there is no doubt that he has the ability to influence the country.
Therefore, at this moment, the smile on Ikeba Shizuka's face was genuine.
Hattori Heizo noticed how much Itake Karuta appreciated it, and a sense of honor welled up within him for having completed his superior's task and lived up to his mission.
As for his son's gaze, Hattori Heizo naturally noticed it as well, but this was a highly confidential matter and could not be easily leaked.
Anyway, Ikenami Shizuka is not related by blood, so we can tell our son when the time is right.
Hattori Heizo felt that his son was too impulsive and not mature enough, and that it would be good for him to experience some setbacks and grow up while he was young.
At the banquet, both guests and hosts were in high spirits.
Only Hattori Heiji had a dark expression on his face and kept chugging alcohol.
Conan, who was standing nearby, was too short to notice Izuki Karuta's actions, but he could understand the stimulation that his mother's drinking session brought to Hattori Heiji.
Before he had even finished eating, Hattori Heiji had already gotten himself drunk.
Seeing this, Hattori Heizo helped his son back to his room to rest, and then returned to his study.
Conan also went to Hattori Heiji's room to keep an eye on things.
Now, only Izuki Karuta, Ikenami Shizuka, Ran, and Kazuha remained at the dining table.
Because of the good atmosphere, Ran and Kazuha got a little drunk.
Ikenami Shizuka was even bolder; as they chatted, she was already sitting in Izuki Karuta's lap.
With long, slender, fair fingers, she picked up a red grape from the dessert menu, peeled off its skin, and brought it to Izuki Qingtian's lips:
"Mr. Yizhu, please try this."
Izuki Karuta opened her mouth to taste it and recognized it as an Australian variety of red grape called "Merlot".
With its enticing aroma and silky smooth texture, it truly is a premium fruit.
Seeing that Ikeba Shizuka was so attentive,
Already drunk, Xiaolan and Heye followed suit.
One handed over a cantaloupe, and the other handed over a peach.
Izuki Karuta had drunk quite a bit and was a little tipsy, so eating more fruit would help sober her up.
Kazuha chuckled and said, "Aunt Jinghua, I never knew you had such a great figure! How do you maintain it?"
Seeing how attentive Kazuha was to Itake Karuta after getting drunk, Ikenami Shizuka could easily guess what had happened during the avalanche.
However, this situation was not surprising, since even she herself could not resist the charm of the bamboo dragonfly.
"It's probably because I practice kendo every day."
Ikenami Shizuka joked, "Kazuha, you have a pretty good figure, and you're still young, so you don't need to worry about maintaining it."
He Ye pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved: "But Aunt Jinghua, your figure and Xiao Lan's figure are both better than mine..."
Normally, Shizuka Ikenami wears kimonos that are extremely concealing to hide her figure, so nothing can be seen.
But now, dressed lightly, her figure and physique are in no way inferior to Xiaolan's.
So much so that, compared to the two of them, Kazuha actually had the worst figure.
Why worry about something like that?
Izuki Karita gently ruffled Kazuha's hair. "Body shape isn't everything. Besides, you're still young and have the potential to grow."
Upon hearing this, the drunken Kazuha put her arm around Itake Karita and started giggling foolishly.
Then, the playful Xiaolan suggested that Yizhu Qingtian take them on an adventure in the Mind Illusion.
This proposal was approved by Kazuha and Shizuka Ikenami.
Three votes to one vote
It was difficult for Izuki Karuta to refuse the three beautiful women who kept begging and pleading, so he had no choice but to agree.
If we refuse, who knows how long they'll keep making a scene?
It would be better to grant their wish and make the night quieter.
10 minutes later,
A figure appeared silently at the entrance to the dining room, peering at the situation around the dining table.
What Hattori Heizo saw was that Ran and Kazuha were both drunk and slumped over the dining table.
Meanwhile, Ikenami Shizuka had already been drinking with Itake Karuta and ended up in his arms.
Hattori Heizo was overjoyed and left with a smile.
Ten more minutes passed.
A short figure appeared at the entrance to the dining room.
What Conan saw was that Ran and Kazuha were slightly tipsy.
Meanwhile, Ikenami Shizuka nestled close to Itake Karuta, behaving intimately and allowing the latter to take advantage of her.
"The adult world is so complicated..."
Conan sighed with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
This was all deliberately arranged by Hattori Heizo, who was the master of the house and a police inspector-level figure. Conan didn't dare to get involved or say anything.
She could only turn around and go to the kitchen, get some ice water, soak a towel in it, and take it to the room to apply to Hattori Heiji's face.
Heiji Hattori, who was drunk, was feeling very hot. After returning to his room, he unconsciously undressed almost completely.
This made Conan's gaze somewhat uneasy...
Chapter 229 The Consequences of Drunkenness
The next day, at breakfast time,
Hattori Heizo went to work early.
Breakfast was prepared by the housekeeper and tasted very good.
At this moment, in the dining room.
Shizuka Ikenami and Karuta Itake sat on the left side of the dining table.
Xiaolan and Heye sat on the right side of the dining table.
“That…last night…”
Xiaolan asked hesitantly, "Was everyone... drunk last night?"
When Ran woke up this morning, she found Shizuka Ikenami and Kazuha in the same room.
She also recalled that last night she had taken the initiative to suggest an adventure together in the Mind Fantasy Realm.
I really want to know if it was a dream or if it actually happened.
"He was definitely drunk."
Ikeba Shizuka smiled and said, "But having the opportunity to play with young people has made me feel much younger."
