Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 25 Under the Ginkgo Tree
After drawing a page of the manuscript, Yuji handed the line draft to Amuro Toru. In the courtyard of Ari House, Xiaolan and Shinichi were cleaning the fallen leaves.

Yuji opened the window on the first floor, poked his head out and looked down at Shinichi: "Brother, don't you want to go to the zoo with Sister Xiaolan?"

"We'll go as soon as we finish sweeping!"

Taking a sip of coffee, Yuji thought of the Osaka duo he met last year, and he thought about what it is like to like someone.

Toru Amuro was blacking out the line draft, when he looked up, he saw Yuji staring at his face, looked around him from left to right, and felt that there was nothing wrong.

"What's wrong? Kudo-sensei."

"Has Mr. Amuro ever been in a relationship?" Yuji sat down next to Toru Amuro, and took out a notebook from his pocket.

"No."

Yuji suddenly felt bored, and he found Dr. Ali who was stealing food in front of the refrigerator, and quickly ran over to snatch the cream puff from the doctor's hand.

"Doctor! Why are you stealing food again! The doctor said last time that you are going to lose weight!"

"I'll just eat one! Just one! I'll lose weight tomorrow after eating!"

Taking advantage of Yuji's inattention, the doctor quickly took out another puff from the refrigerator and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing a few mouthfuls.

"Doctor~ By the way, has the doctor ever been in love?"

The doctor touched his face, and seemed to be recalling something, which aroused Yuji's interest. The boy pushed Dr. Ari's big belly, urging him to tell his love story.

"At that time, I was the same age as you, and it was the first day of summer school. I overslept in a daze, so I took a shortcut. Then I saw a girl from a lower grade standing behind a telephone pole with a pale face, not daring to move. She is a cute girl with big black eyes who can't hide it! It seems that she is afraid of the Noi family's dog, so she doesn't move."

Toru Amuro also put down the pen in his hand, made three more cups of coffee, sat on the sofa with Yuji and listened to Dr. Ari's talk about the past, and seemed to remember someone.

"I took her to school, and later asked her why she was afraid, and then I realized that it was because of being bitten by a pet I had raised before, so I took her to raise a golden mouse at Die Ye's house."

Yuji raised his hand and looked at the doctor suspiciously: "Why is it a rodent? Aren't girls generally afraid of mice?"

"Kinoshita is fine, she took care of the school chickens and we went to school together until winter. She moved away in November, and I never saw her again."

The doctor’s expression seemed regretful, he kept twirling his fingers, and smiled comfortingly: “But she left a postcard in the envelope at my house, saying that she likes me the most, and that she will be with me for ten years.” Let’s meet at a place full of memories later.”

"So, did you see her afterward?"

"No, because I really can't remember where the place full of memories is."

Yuji held his forehead and looked at the manuscript in his hand.He tore up all the hard work he had done over the past three days.

"Yuji! What are you doing!" The doctor tried to dissuade him, but failed.

"I decided to draw the doctor's love affair into the manga. In this way, the doctor will definitely be able to meet again." Yuji took out a few more blank drawing papers and spread them on the table: "Mr. Amuro, are you okay?"

"Of course!"

After picking up the pen, Yuji still couldn't draw a single character until the ink fell on the paper. He put down the pen again, stood up and put on an apron for himself.

"Do you remember where that postcard is?"

"I think I put it in my drawer, I'll go get it."

Holding the postcard in his hand, Yuji noticed that there was a line of inexplicable words under the name of the recipient, Dr. Ali: 4163 33 60 was related to animals. "

The doctor pointed at the row of numbers and scratched his hairless head: "I just can't understand it, so I haven't seen her all this time."

This girl is really talented. Who can understand what you write so abstractly?

Yuji squinted his half-moon eyes and sighed: "Doctor, is your first love Japanese?"

The doctor's finger rested on the third chin. "I remember she has blond hair like Mr. Amuro."

foreigners?It has something to do with animals, Yuji gave up thinking about it.

He wrote down all the animals in the memories of Dr. Ali and the girl on the paper, and then circled them lightly with a pen.

Yuji suddenly wiped off what he had just written with an eraser, and then reconsidered.

No, it’s related to animals, not necessarily the animals themselves.Yuji noticed again the 0 in that row of numbers. 0 means nothing, which means nothing.By the way, the doctor just said that the girl was bitten by her own pet.

"Hey, doctor, does that girl have any pets at home?"

"She seems to have been bitten very painfully by her own pet, so there are no more animals in the house."

Yuji once again wrote down the places related to girls and animals on the paper.Noi, Chono, school, Kinoshita.

Toru Amuro understood, and he also wrote these nouns in Japanese with a pen.

"Under the school's ginkgo tree." Yuji sipped his coffee and slumped on the sofa, finally half-guessed it.

"But, I can't find it now!" The doctor seemed relieved, but Yuji could see his loneliness.

"Doctor, who do you think is in front of you? I'm the world-famous cartoonist Fujimine Yuu!" Yuji immediately began to draw on a blank drawing paper.

It happened that the origin of Edogawa III's high-tech props had not yet been drawn, so Yuji thought it would be appropriate to set the owner of the Shiba Inu as a scientist who has been single for 52 years.

At the end of the manga, Yuji managed to get the boy adventure group in the story to help the scientist and the first love girl meet under the ginkgo tree in the elementary school, and uttered a sentence "Your riddle, the dog (Edogawa III) shook his head when he saw it !"

In this week’s manga, Miss Umeko’s feedback to Yuji seems to be very interesting, and readers find the scientist’s first love very heart-warming.

"Where does Ms. Meizi think is the best?" Yuji took out his pen and planned to write it down in his notebook as a reference in the love story later.

"As expected, it's the last comment!"

Are you really a female editor?

Walking out of the door of Ali's house to Tedan Primary School, the boy took a box of Akita Farm's Kewuen brand chicken feed and walked to the chicken coop behind the school. He threw the feed into the chicken coop and quickly closed the cage.

That's right, Yuji is afraid of chickens.

To be precise, he is afraid of anyone with feathers, which is why he hasn't been to Ekota Town very often these years.He was there at the funeral of Kuroba Pirates, but he was frightened and cried by Kuroba Kaito, who was covered in pigeons. Since then, he went less.

After washing his hands, Yuji bought a can of coffee from the school's vending machine. Leaning against the wall, the boy looked up at the ginkgo leaves falling from the tree. In the far northwest corner, there were two figures, one fat and one thin.

Although the fallen leaves in autumn give people a feeling of sadness, they make people feel a little happy.

　Originally, I wanted to write it in the extra episode, but after thinking about it, I forgot it. I sometimes like to jump into the extra episode when I read books.
