Conan: The Mechanic - Chapter 1045

The higher you stand, the harder you fall.

The love that once seemed to come naturally, just shattered Shiho’s heart. In the month after Qianyu was found dead, she was reclusive and unhappy, and even her physical health plummeted.

And more importantly, Fujiwara and Hotaru, who could have carve out time to accompany her distraction, had no time to take care of her during this time.

The reason is very simple. In mid-January 1995, there was something very important to the two of them.

…………

January 15th, at 17:40 in the afternoon, Didan High School.

“The exam is over, all candidates please stop answering.” The invigilator glanced at the students and issued such an instruction.

And along with these words, Ying let out a long sigh of relief and leaned on the back of the chair with relief. “call–“

It’s over, it’s finally over.

College admissions and selection of the college entrance examination center examination – this is what they are busy with. Only by getting a decent grade here and doing well in the independent examinations at the University of Tokyo will she be able to have a successful career of her own, as Fujiwara requires, and…

Maybe it will be successful, right? Although Fujiwara had given himself a boost, he still felt very uneasy after the exam—especially when he encountered such suffocating and difficult questions in the exam. If there is something wrong that I haven’t noticed, my previous efforts will be in vain.

With a little anxiety, Yingying walked out of the examination room, and someone was already waiting for her outside.

“Why did you come out so early?” Hotaru looked at Fujiwara in surprise. “We have only just collected papers here…”

“It’s not that difficult in itself, so I handed it in in advance and waited for you.” Fujiwara lightly kissed Hotaru’s forehead. “Congratulations, you have finally completed this important exam. In any case, the hard work you have put in over the past few months will be judged fairly.”

“Well…” Beside them, there were other candidates who had just completed the exam and finally showed laughter again, but Hotaru’s expression was still solemn – because there was still a real trial waiting for her.

“Fujiwara…” she said worriedly. “I’m…a little nervous…”

“Huh?” Fujiwara raised his eyebrows slightly before realizing Hotaru’s concerns.

“Don’t worry,” said this, he gently grabbed Yingying’s hand and conveyed his beliefs to her.

“I will advance and retreat with you.”

For the average senior high school student, today is just the day to complete the unified exam. But for Hotaru, today also has a special meaning – to celebrate Fujiwara’s completion of the exam, Fujiwara’s parents arranged a celebratory dinner for Fujiwara at their residence. At the same time, Fujiwara also intends to take the opportunity to introduce Hotaru to his parents as his girlfriend and fiancee.

Although Hotaru is also a beautiful woman, and her financial status is also good, these are really not enough in front of Fujiwara, who is also a handsome man, and his father who controls the jewelry group. Under such circumstances, even just thinking about the difficulties raised by Fujiwara’s parents made Hotaru, who has low self-esteem, feel a lot of pressure.

…………

At 19:50, the Fujiwara family house in the outer suburbs of Tokyo.

This is also the first time Hotaru has come to Fujiwara’s house – before that, Fujiwara has never introduced her to his parents. (Even the previous engagement was a private agreement between Fujiwara and her, which was not approved by her parents.)

[Nervous], this is the only thought in Ying’s heart right now.

“Why are you nervous?” Feeling his partner’s unease, Fujiwara turned his head curiously and amusedly, and looked at Hotaru who grabbed his hand a little harder. “I don’t remember that you have even dealt with cabinet ministers before. Where does this small configuration of my family come from?”

“The attorney general won’t take me home, and other rich people will only run us girls in a hotel, or open an unremarkable apartment.” Ying looked carefully at the mansion in front of him. “This house is so big, is it really only your parents living in it?”

“Is it big?” Fujiwara disagreed with Hotaru. “A total of 4 floors, a single floor of 82 pings (about 270 square meters)… not too small, but to be honest, it can only be considered enough. After taking into account the space occupied by the required equipment, it is actually just that. There won’t be a sense of emptiness like [a large area with nothing to put in].”

“Think about where we live,” Ying Duzui. “I think it’s suitable for our family. This kind of… is too big.”

“Actually, I think it’s almost the same,” Fujiwara dragged Hotaru towards the door. “For things like a house, in fact, to a certain extent, the experience of using the area change is not strong. Maybe the difference between 30 ping and 50 ping is that each room is bigger. And 50 ping and 80 ping are only worse. Just one room.

“Let me give an example, do you think my 82 pings are huge? But compared to the average villa, it only has a gym, a screening room, a bar, a luxurious bath and a maid’s suite. What else do you want? In the room, you can only bite the bullet and make very troublesome choices.”

“The maid’s suite?” Hotaru was a little curious. “Does your maid have a separate personal suite?”

“Almost. In the attic on the top floor, there is a small room of about 10 pings. It is not a separate suite, but two maids live in one.” Fujiwara nodded. “But to be honest, that arrangement annoys me~www.mtlnovel.com~ Because the two maids will be on the fourth floor after a night’s rest, and the fourth floor is my site, so I often run into them sometimes. “

“Eh…” With a noncommittal voice, Hotaru followed Fujiwara to the door, watching the latter use the electronic key card to open the side door next to the front gate of the villa’s fence.

“Also,” Protecting Hotaru a little behind him, Fujiwara’s eyes glanced at the window at the top of the villa attic. “I’ll give you a vaccination first…

“To my parents, you can still use that attitude, but to those two maids… don’t be too polite, just treat them with the attitude of my girlfriend’s palace.”

“Oh?” Ying frowned slightly, and also looked at the attic – a figure seemed to flash past from behind.

【I am not pleasing to the eye, and Fujiwara suggested me to take the attitude of the palace】→【The two maids are interested in Fujiwara, so they are hostile to me】→【They are also in their early 18s, and they are proud of their looks and so on Capital, I want to complete the class leap through marriage] → [These are two beautiful girls with completely conflicting personal goals] → [There must be an irreconcilable contradiction between the two]

After thinking for a while, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

“That,” she chuckled and entered a state of battle. “It shouldn’t be a problem to provoke a fight between them, right?”

Fujiwara laughed as well, and laughed happily.

“Of course,” there was approval in his voice. “You’re right, our maids compete for jobs, and every year the poor performer is replaced. And only the one who stays gets a year-end bonus that’s about four times the annual salary.”

“Wow,” Hotaru certainly didn’t miss what Fujiwara meant. “Looks like my time to show off?”
