Faced with the inquiry—interrogation—from this young lady of Kyoto, Sonoko Suzuki from Tokyo naturally refused to lose any momentum.
She merely crossed her arms and said righteously, "I came to hang out with Ran. After all, I often come here as a guest with Ran, so what's strange about that?"
Hearing this, Momiji curiously glanced behind her, tilted her head in a somewhat adorable manner, and asked, "Then where is Miss Ran?"
"I forgot to tell her when I came over," Sonoko said seriously. "I happened to run into you, so I forgot about going to find her."
"Oh..." Momiji pondered for a moment before bluntly asking, "So you came here to find our Fujino?"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Sonoko's pretty face immediately darkened. "Can you stop saying 'our' all the time? You make it sound like... like something!"
"Like I'm his wife?" Momiji smiled upon hearing that and teasingly observed Sonoko's reaction.
This girl looked rather trendy, with a somewhat flirtatious air about her.
Yet she was embarrassed to death...
Touching her chin, Momiji said, "Because I am his fiancée, after all. We just haven't gotten married and registered it yet."
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes. "So, what business do you have with my fiancé?"
"..."
Sonoko narrowed her eyes, feeling that the person before her was simply far too shameless.
She actually said something like that in public?
She gritted her pearly teeth, wanting to retort, but after thinking it over, it seemed she really could not argue with this woman.
"Ahem!"
At that moment, Ai Haibara, seated nearby, suddenly coughed lightly and spoke in an indifferent tone. "Could you two keep your voices down?"
She glanced around. "The customers nearby are all watching. If you need Fujino for something, I can go upstairs and call him."
