Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 108 Shinichi’s Confession

"It hurts!" Yuji was sitting on the sofa, looking at Akiko who was rubbing her face with eggs and yelled: "Sister Akiko, please be gentler."

"Really, you know Xiaolan is the karate champion, but you still tease them."

Akiko put the eggs on Yusuke's hand, took off her apron from the wall and prepared to cook. She saw Hiroki walking into the living room holding a dog doll and said hello to him.

"Isn't it because of his talent for seeking death?" Hiroki turned on the TV and prepared to watch the latest science news.

Feeling a little sore in his hands, Yuji put the egg into his mouth, and lay down after swallowing it down: "Because that's really fun, Shinichi's Shura field."

...So you deserve to be beaten!
Akiko and Hiroki both looked at this guy helplessly, looked at each other, and sighed together.

"We're going out to eat tonight. We cook at home every day, and occasionally we have to go out for a big meal."

Yuji took out a card from his wallet: "This is the gold card for the Observation Restaurant in the Mihua Central Building. My mother gave me one when she left, and said that with this card, I can eat the daily premium meals."

"Isn't that shop very expensive?" Akiko wiped the water drops on her hands with a handkerchief: "I think it's enough to go and have sushi."

Hiroki accidentally found the smile hidden on Yuji's face, squinting his half-moon eyes, this big brother must have some bad ideas.

"So, you want to cause trouble again?" The genius boy put his chin on his hand: "What happened to the observation restaurant?"

Putting up his index finger, Yuji felt his face hurt again. He covered his face and smiled strangely: "Mom said that Dad also gave Shinichi one. I called the card number in the morning to reserve a special seat. As a result, the people over there told me that another gentleman named Kudo had made the decision."

Yuji touched his chin and took out a video recorder from under the coffee table: "I'm ready."

After being beaten, he had to find a way to make up for it, so he was still Yuji!

The aroma of roasting meat wafted from the kitchen. Yuji put down the video recorder, washed his hands with Hiroki and sat at the dining table to wait for the meal.

.........

"There aren't many people today. Is it because of the working day?" Sitting at the table in the Overlook restaurant, Akiko looked at the menu in front of her, and the numbers made her blink.

…so expensive!
"Hurry up and order, I want ice cream and French fries!" Hiroki looked at the second brother wearing headphones next to him and poked his waist: "Did you hear anything interesting?"

Taking off the earphones, Yuji raised his mouth, and pouted Shinichi bitterly: "That guy has been talking to Xiaolan about Holmes since he sat down, it's hopeless!"

Watching the waiter walk away, Yuji opened the menu, picked a few items at random, and then discovered today's special baked snails.

"Is this snail any different from the baked snails in ordinary Italian restaurants?" Akiko looked at Yuji in confusion.

After thinking about it carefully, Yuji looked at Hiroki and raised his hand, motioning for his younger brother to speak.

"Probably... there's no difference. Wouldn't it be better to arrange the dishes more delicately?"

"That's right, to be precise, we ordinary people can't taste any difference." Yuji cut the steak on the table with a knife and fork: "For those chefs with sensitive tongues, there may be a big difference, but ordinary people just eat one It's just fresh."

Halfway through the meal, the boy took a sip of orange juice and continued to monitor Conan's movements: "If it weren't for the purpose of seeing him, I would have taken you to eat lasagna."

Xiaolan looked at the primary school student in a blue suit opposite. She was wearing a cyan dress and recalled the conversation between the two people in the infirmary yesterday, and became a little nervous.

"Why did you suddenly bring me to such an expensive restaurant?"

Conan was eating happily, when he suddenly stopped when he heard Xiaolan's words, thinking of his purpose, he was a little scared.

Really, I have rehearsed it dozens of times in my head, how can I back down now?

Time passed by, and dishes kept coming to the table. He picked up his drink and took a sip. Just when Conan was about to confess his love, he heard someone shouting at the door of the restaurant.

"Ah, our president died in the elevator!"

Perhaps suppressing his curiosity, Conan looked at Xiaolan shyly, intending to continue confessing his love.

"A pistol was used. Our president was shot through the head with a pistol! He died miserably!"

At this time, Shinichi felt as if there were hundreds of ants crawling on his body, and it was itching to death. He kept turning his head back subconsciously, only to be turned back by himself.

"Let's go take a look first." Xiaolan smiled softly, put down the tableware and stood up: "You are obviously very curious, so there is no need to pretend. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it when you come back later."

Laughing awkwardly, Conan nodded in agreement, and was naturally held by his childhood sweetheart and walked towards the elevator.

.........

"Yuji..." Akiko covered her face at this moment, feeling a little uncomfortable: "I will never come out with you next time."

...I obviously made up my mind before, why did I forget it again today?It took three days without seeing a dead person, and I was still wondering if I could make it through the fourth day.

"Sorry, it was my fault."

The dead will indeed affect the appetite. Hiroki is lying on the table with his eyes closed at the moment, turning his head to look at Yuji: "Speaking of which, those first-grade children are really amazing. They don't have any psychological shadow because of the dead."

"Maybe they have thick nerves. The gap between people is quite big..."

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, Yuji found Ran and Conan who had come back from solving the case, poked Akiko and Hiroki: "Okay, we're not here for dinner, at worst, we'll buy some ingredients and cook at home later, when they come back gone."

.........

"Now you can talk." Picking up the ice cream on the table and placing it in front of Conan, Xiaolan quietly waited for his words.

"Actually...Actually, I specially invited you out for dinner because I wanted to clarify something with you." Conan was holding his clothes tightly with his hands at this moment, his eyes were wandering, but his face was abnormally red.

"Eh?"

Taking a deep breath, Conan looked at Xiaolan seriously. Because of the height difference, he pushed the chair away and stood on the ground, just face to face with Xiaolan who was sitting there.

"I... want to be a detective like Sherlock Holmes, so I am curious about all cases."

Conan walked around the table to Xiaolan, took out a pink object from his pocket and held it in his hand.

"But it's the first time I've met... a being who can't reason. It's too difficult to deal with." Conan took Xiaolan's hand and put what he was holding on the girl's hand: "I think I don't know enough. , the conditions are too few...so I would like to ask you to let me observe you all the time."

Xiaolan looked at the cherry blossom badge with Shinichi's name written on it in her hand, and still didn't understand what Conan said.

"Conan...what exactly do you want to say?"

On the table nearby, three people's heads were gathered together. Yuji, Hiroki and Akiko were all waiting behind them. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were open. Yuji even had a perverted smile on his face.

Finally, the follow-up came from the earphones.

"...Lan...I...like you..."
