Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 119 Sister Mingzi, tonight...

"Please don't run! Each person is limited to purchasing three new issues!"

The five people did not enter the venue, but were pushed into the exhibition by the people behind.In just one breath, Yuji, Judy and the organization were separated by the wall formed by the queue.

Toru Amuro didn't look at the crowded crowd, only leaving Rena Minzumu with her hands raised high.Having participated many times with Yuji, he skillfully walked to the West Building and bid farewell to Chris at the fork in the road.

"Red line... ah, it's here." Holding the red line drawn by Yuji, Rena Mizumu paused a little while looking at the crowd in line and the poster at the front.

"This is the end of the queue for c93. Please queue up consciously." The staff member holding the loudspeaker kept raising the sign in his hand so that everyone could see it.

Pulling the small cart to the front of the queue, Mizuno Reina looked at the two men sitting behind the table and felt a little uncomfortable.

The poster next to it showed Rei Ayanami and Asuka, a somewhat revealing painting. The hostess blushed and handed over three thousand yen, remembering to follow Yuji's instructions in advance.

"That... please give me three copies of the old issue and three copies of the new issue."

The man wiped the sweat with the towel on his neck and picked up two books from the table in front of him and handed them to Mizuno Reina.

"Okay, thank you for your patronage. "Wet Ayanami Rei" and "Impossible Asuka" total [-] yen!"

Coughing, Rena Minzumu took out three Natsume Soseki from the wallet Yuji handed out and handed them to the man.

She crossed out the red circle of c93 on the paper with a pen, and went to the next door to continue queuing.

.........

"I want these."

The boy picked up the Jiufen notebook from the table, looked at Sailor Moon on it, and skillfully handed out the eight thousand yen.

After leaving the team, Yuji put the notebook into the cart and stretched.

It would be nice to have someone to help him buy it. Yue Yue, Kaori, Shinichi and Xiaolan had come with him a few times before, but when he was invited later, they refused to accept anything.

"Okay, let's go to the next destination!"

After receiving the tissue from the maid cosplay on the roadside, Yuji planned to buy a notebook from another store.

"Speaking of which, why did Edogawa III suddenly have more doujinshi this year?"

Yuji looked up and saw the huge dog head poster hanging from the ceiling, and a group of cosplayers in blue suits, red bow ties and gray shorts in the lobby, he shrugged helplessly.

After spending [-] yen, the young man who successfully bought all the books he wanted saw Miss Chris, who had taken off her disguise, at the corner.

"Ah...Miss Chris, you took off the disguise?"

Yuji looked at the godmother, who was sweating profusely and kept fanning with the small Edogawa III fan that came with her, and took out a bottle of water from his cart.

"It's winter, why is it so hot here!" Miss Chris obviously lost her usual elegance, and the crowded venue made her very impatient.

"It's okay, let's find a place to rest." Yuji pointed to the convenience store and tables and chairs outside: "I bought everything I can buy here."

"By the way, is this the East Building or the West Building?" Chris sat on the chair and took out the route map from her pocket.

"We are in the East Building now. Only Mr. Amuro's destination is the West Building."

.........

In the front hall of the East Building, Teacher Judy, who was holding a map, kept checking the road signs.

"This is the east building, and that is the south side, then..."

Before he looked up, a large number of people suddenly rushed up behind him and pushed the FBI agent onto the elevator.

"Wait...I'm going there!"

Judy was pushed away by the people behind her. When she saw the light again, she was completely lost.

There was a staff member not far away who was giving directions. When he saw her coming, he immediately smiled politely.

"Excuse me, where is pu62?"

Judy's head hurts a little, and although she hasn't bought a book yet, she is exhausted.

"Pu? That's in the East Building, right? This is the West Building!"

"Hey!" Judy subconsciously forgot to keep the character design who can't speak Japanese, and asked fluently, "Where is the east building?"

"If you go to the East Building, just follow the queue over there and go up the stairs in line."

Looking at the crowded team and the venue staff who kept shouting with loudspeakers, Judy bent over tiredly: "How long will it take?"

"Well, judging from the current situation, it will take at least an hour and a half..."

Judy was completely silent…

.........

"Sorry... we didn't get a copy."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the five people regrouped in front of the convenience store, looking at Judy who bowed her head in front of her and Miss Chris who was disguised as a new doctor next to her, Yuji shook his hand: "It's okay, if you want to help I'm very busy."

To the boy's surprise, it was Rena Mizuna. Unexpectedly, her fighting power was so strong that she could compete with a veteran like Toru Amuro.

"What is this book?"

Yuji suddenly discovered that there were two more books in the cart of the two of them, one was called "Beautiful Boy's Love", and the other was the famous work "Auntie Next Door".

It's easy to see who bought it at a glance...

"Why do you want to buy three copies of each?" Mizuno Reina watched the boy count the number of notebooks, and remembered his purchase requirements and the stall's purchase limit: "Is there anything particular about it?"

"If you buy three books, one for reading, one for collection, and one for missionary use."

After making sure it was correct, Yuuji ate his sandwich and looked at the girl idol singing Edogawa III's op over there: "The two guests pulled up by the singer seem a bit familiar."

The four of them also turned their heads to look, although it was not obvious, Yuji could find that the faces of the three members of the organization suddenly looked ugly.

"What's the name of this gentleman, you seem to like Lin Yuanli very much." The singer handed the microphone to the tall man on the right wearing Lin Yuanli's coat and black sunglasses.

"My name is Saburo Uozuka."

The man just introduced his name and stopped talking. The helpless singer had no choice but to look to the tall and burly man on the left who was also wearing Lin Yuanli's coat.

This person doesn't speak...

"Okay, leave them alone." Yuji leaned on the new doctor: "Anyway, that's the end of today, thank you for your hard work! Just take a stroll in the afternoon..."

"Actually, it's pretty easy now." Toru Amuro took a sip of coffee: "I used to attend comic exhibitions with Kudo-sensei in the summer. During the day, the participants kept sweating, and you could even see clouds formed by steam in the venue. There’s thick smoke billowing overhead!”

As the sun gradually set, the five people who walked out of the venue took a deep breath of fresh air and said goodbye near the subway station.

"I am back!"

Pushing open the door of Yuer House, the boy looked at Akiko and Hiroki who were waiting in the living room, and put the suitcase and the empty cart at the door.

"What are you doing, sister Mingzi!"

Seeing Mingzi approaching step by step, the boy quickly hugged the box and shook his head at her: "These are all my treasures!"

"Yuji..." Akiko put her hands on her hips: "You can't buy those weird things back, Hiroki is only 12 years old!"

"No, these books are like fertilizer. Without them, I wouldn't be able to draw comics."

"Really?" Ming Zi hesitated for a moment, but still pulled the box: "Then put it here for safekeeping, and you can pick it up when you look at it."

Holding Akiko's arm, the boy lowered his head while holding back the shame.

"Sister Mingzi...I'm going to use it tonight...cough cough, look..."
