In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Yukiko waved her hand, indicating that she didn't intend to discuss the topic any further.

What are you planning to do today?

Where is Xia Ye?

Everyone looked at Xia Ye first.

Xia Ye thought for a moment and decided that the security company was under the jurisdiction of Akara Ryosuke, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

The task that Sister Bay gave me needs to be completed at some time, but there's no need to rush it for now.

Ai and Akemi just left the organization, so let's spend two days with them first.

"I haven't yet—"

"Dingling bell~"

Xiaolan's cell phone ringing interrupted Xia Ye's words.

"Is this Miss Yoko?"

Xiao Lan smiled apologetically at Xia Ye.

I took out my phone; it was a call from Yoko Okino.

After answering the phone and exchanging a few words, Xiaolan hung up and looked at everyone, saying:

"Miss Yoko said she's practicing in the rehearsal room at Nichiuri TV and asked if we wanted to come over and hang out?"

"Yoko Okino?"

Yukiko immediately became interested.

Xiaolan said that this was her little fangirl, so how could she not go and meet her!

"I'm going!"

"Where are Ai and Xiao Ai?"

Xiaolan looked at the two sisters and asked, "If you're not busy, it would be nice to go over and have some fun!"

"Okay, let's go then~"

Ai and Akemi exchanged a glance and nodded.

Yoko Okino received a log reward last night, and that rainbow-colored microphone looks pretty amazing. I should go check it out.

I guess Yoko Okino meant the same thing when she called everyone over.

"Xia Ye?"

All eyes turned to Xia Ye once again.

"Then let's go!"

Natsume is fine with it, but it would be good to see the private practice of such a beautiful female idol as Yoko Okino!

..........

Japanese TV station.

Entering the gate is like entering a gallery of beautiful women.

"As expected of a TV station, female celebrities are all showing up in droves, but—"

Xiao Lan glanced at Xia Ye curiously, somewhat puzzled, "Xia Ye, you don't seem very interested?"

"The most beautiful female celebrities and the cutest girls are all around me, I don't have time to look at those other people~"

Xia Ye said indifferently, "I don't have the energy for that."

"Wow! You have such a sweet tongue!"

Yukiko smiled, and no matter what, those words were delightful to hear.

Xia Ye can still say nice things!

A smile also appeared in Xiaolan's beautiful eyes.

As for Xia Ye, he is indeed quite fickle. He has many "female characters" he likes, such as Ai and himself.

But surprisingly, he only liked those he was certain about; the others—

You know, several famous models just walked by, their legs were so long that even Xia Ye couldn't help but stare for a long time. She only glanced at them once and then looked away, but she could always feel his gaze on her own legs. I guess that could be considered a kind of unwavering devotion...

.......

"It's Fujimine Yukiko!"

"Wow, it really is her!"

Why is she at the TV station today?

This is a television station, and everyone here is quite knowledgeable about the entertainment industry, so the legendary actress Yukiko was instantly recognized.

"Yukiko-senpai, you are my idol!"

"Yukiko-senpai, I've collected two sets of your 'Tales of the Snow Woman'!"

"Yukiko-senpai..."

Surprisingly, the majority of the people who came up to greet her were women, all of whom looked on with admiration, clearly regarding Yukiko as their idol.

Even Natsume didn't expect Yukiko to be so popular.

The comic only briefly mentioned her, saying that she was a popular actress in Japan and even the world. I thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, but it turns out it's true.

"Oh, you're too kind!"

Yukiko didn't refuse their greetings, which was a good thing for her, as she loved being in the spotlight!

finally.

It was only after Yoko Okino, who was in the practice room, heard the news and ran downstairs herself that this unexpected "fan meeting" came to an end.

Then, Natsume and her group were taken to the practice room on the fifteenth floor of the Nichiuri TV headquarters building.

It's supposed to be a practice room.

Xia Ye looked around.

Besides a huge mirror on the opposite wall used for practicing dance, there are many musical instruments, sound systems, and various equipment on both sides of the room. In addition, the room is so big that it is more than enough to hold a small concert.

"Yukiko-senpai!"

Yoko Okino held Yukiko's hand, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Xiao Lan said she would introduce you to me yesterday, I didn't expect you to come in person today!"

"Yoko, don't be so polite!"

Yukiko blinked and smiled slightly:

"We're all on the same side~"

"Ah, yes!"

After listening to Yukiko's words, Yoko Okino calmed herself down and began to greet everyone.

"I've already asked my agent and assistant to prepare tea. Please sit down and rest for a while."

"Miss Yoko, we're not as diligent as you. We just got up and rushed over, we're not tired at all!"

Xia Ye smiled and said:

"Didn't you say you were practicing? Why don't you sing us a song? My Ai-chan always has your songs playing on her phone~"

"Ah, actually I'm not that diligent; I just arrived myself."

Yoko Okino was a little embarrassed.

"However, if you all want to hear something, I'll sing a song. What would you like to hear? I'm having a concert soon, and I've practiced every song. Just pick whatever you like, no problem!"

Chapter 72 The Troublemaker

What song do you want to listen to?

Natsume knew nothing about Yoko Okino's songs, and neither did Yukiko and Akemi.

So everyone's attention turned to Ran and Ai.

One of these two women has a father who is a huge fan of Yoko Okino, and they've been influenced by her from a young age; the other genuinely likes Yoko Okino's songs. Letting them choose was definitely the right decision.

"Let Ai do it~"

Xiaolan said somewhat embarrassedly:

"I watch more of Yoko's dramas and variety shows, and I listen to her songs too, but I definitely don't know her as well as Ai Haibara~"

"Xiao Ai?"

Yoko Okino looked at Ai with some anticipation, wondering which of her songs this girl, who had once lived in darkness, would like.

"Then let's play 'Green Forest'!"

Ai thought for a moment and then said a song title.

Ran racked her brains for a long time, but still couldn't remember if Yoko had such a song. So she secretly rejoiced that letting Ai choose the song was definitely the right thing to do.

"Ai-chan is truly my soulmate~"

Yoko Okino smiled, her beautiful eyes gentle.

"This song was an insert song I sang for a TV series when I was still on the Earth Ladies Team. The TV series didn't become popular, and neither did the song. In fact, it's been five years, and I haven't sung it in front of anyone except for practice."

"Although the song wasn't a hit, I really like it, and I plan to sing it again for everyone at this concert. Since you want to hear it, Ai, I'll sing it for you first~"

"Good~"

A faint smile appeared on Ai's face; she really liked this song.

five years ago.

Earth Ladies had only been around for a short time, not long after their debut in 07.

Yoko Okino was an unknown nobody.

This song didn't make a ripple in Japan, so who knows how it inexplicably ended up on Ai Haibara's phone in the US.

This was the first time Ai Haibara had ever heard Yoko Okino's songs, though at the time she had no idea who Yoko Okino was.

It can't be said that this song helped her overcome loneliness, because she was very lonely at that time. However, at least during those years when she had no relatives or friends, this song gave her a lot of comfort.

Seeing the smile on Ai's face, Yoko Okino's gaze softened even more.

She knew roughly what Ai's background was like.

Growing up in that terrible organization must have been incredibly stressful. If my songs can bring her even a little bit of joy, then I've done my job as a singer!

"Then I'll sing 'The Green Forest'!"

Yoko Okino got up and walked to a backpack, from which she took out a pure white wireless microphone. It was neither studded with diamonds nor plated with gold; it looked simple and elegant, which matched her temperament perfectly.

"This microphone was a gift from a friend, so I'll use it to sing!"

Yoko Okino turned on the accompaniment, and the song began.

Xia Ye frowned subconsciously.

His status as a singing prodigy in the beginner village endowed him with master-level musical skills.

Naturally, one can easily distinguish between good and bad songs.

"Green Forest" is a very gentle piece of music that requires almost no skill or emotional expression.

No wonder it didn’t become popular.

Moreover, Yoko Okino's singing skills are only so-so; she can barely be called a talented singer, but she certainly can't compare to those famous Japanese divas.

Although it was already quite good for her as an idol singer, Xia Ye didn't actually have high expectations.

He was originally looking forward to Yoko Okino's "Fireworks," the song that Ai Haibara didn't even want her to see the music video for. It was a high-energy song and dance number, incredibly hot, and Yoko Okino's transformative work, the kind that could set the whole place on fire.

but--

Xia Ye was surprised after hearing the first sentence.
