Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"You're here to buy Coke and popcorn, right?"

Yuji stretched out the banknotes and took the large empty popcorn bucket handed over to him under the helpless gaze of the salesperson.

"Hey, why are there only buckets? Aren't you buying popcorn?" The four children stared, and the pocket money that was originally intended to buy snacks was tightened.

[Could it be that the price of popcorn has increased, so the money you bring may not be enough...]

"No, there are four guests. This gentleman said he wanted to buy an empty bucket with the money of a big popcorn."

The waiter sighed in embarrassment: "He said the popcorn in the cinema was not delicious and healthy, so he brought it himself. But..."

"But there are regulations in movie theaters, no outside snacks are allowed, so that's the only way to go."

Yuji shook the arm held by Anna, and when Mao Mao let go, he picked up a yellow bag in the eyes of the children.

Perhaps because he still wanted to protect his dignity, the teenager turned the side with the dog pattern and the words "dog food" on it to the crowd, skillfully fished out a container from the packaging tape, and put a large empty bucket of popcorn full.

"Would you like some?"

"Is it okay!" Mitsuhiko took one from the bucket and put it in his mouth, feeling that the taste was a bit strange, but he still refused Yuji's kindness to give them a bucket.

He put several people's money on the counter and asked the waiter for five Cokes and three popcorns before he noticed that there was nothing around him.

"How strange?" Yuan Tai scratched his face, tugging at the sleeves of Jieyue and Xiangori suspiciously: "We don't seem to have seen this big sister with two ponytails before."

[Is it because of her that Xiao Ai is so scared? 】

Ayumi looked at the trembling girl hugging her, and suddenly had an idea.

[Little Ai who is trembling with fear seems to be very cute...]

"That's true, don't you think so!" Mitsuhiko shouted, "Like the plot on TV, Tensei defeated Aome, and Yuzuki and Kaori became defeated dogs?!"

"Defeated... Defeated dog?!" x3
Except for Anna, Yuji and the other three people all had their mouths opened.

"So pitiful..." Ayumi's eyes suddenly turned red: "Will Sister Yuzuki and Sister Kaori run crying in the heavy rain..."

【No, we won't do that.Ayumi-chan, is the TV show you usually watch weird...]

"This...she is...that..."

【How should I tell them that this girl was transformed by Anna...】

Unable to be coaxed, the girls rolled their eyes in despair when seeing the three children start to cry for themselves.

【Who will save us? 】

"You four students, how can you bully children!"

The accusation coming from the side interrupted Yuji, who originally wanted to explain to the four little ones, and also attracted the children's attention.

"Officer Shiratori!" x8
"Kudo-kun! And you!" Officer Shiratori was stunned for a few seconds, and then smiled sheepishly: "I thought there were senior students bullying the children."

After saying that, Shiratiao turned around and planned to walk towards the cinema door. From the back, he seemed a little panicked.

"Didn't Officer Shiratori come to watch the movie?" Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, Yuan Tai took the popcorn and Coke, and called Officer Shiratori to stop in surprise.

"No, I am..."

Mitsuhiko also doubted: "Obviously you have come to the movie theater?"

"It's work, work..."

Finding that the cat girl seems to be no different from ordinary people, Xiao Ai let go of her hand amid Ayumi's regretful expression, and returned to her original cold look.

She avoided Anna, and said behind Xiangwo: "You don't think that, like Officer Matsuda, you regard us as plague gods, do you?"

[Guessed! 】

"Stare..." x4
"I know! I will watch the movie with you! Please don't look at me like a prisoner!"

Pulling out the wallet from the inner pocket, Police Officer Shiratori held up the banknote: "Please give me a popcorn set too."

.........

Watching the New Gomera votes on the voting machine gradually dwindling, Conan waited anxiously for the four people to come back.

Originally, he planned to buy four tickets directly, but when he took out his wallet, he found that the pocket money Xiaolan gave this month had already been bought by him for a mystery novel, which could not support four movie tickets, so he had to wait for the children to come back and choose together. up.

[It would be great if Yuji was here, you can ask him directly to borrow money. 】

"Conan! We're back!"

"It's so slow! How come you are now..." The primary school student in blue suit turned his head and saw several children, his younger brother surrounded by warblers, and...

"Officer Shiratori?"

After waving his hand to greet Conan, Officer Shiratori lit the machine and asked, "What movie are you going to watch? I'll buy one for each hall."

"Wait a minute, Conan, why didn't you buy a ticket?" Yuantai noticed the empty glasses boy in his hands.

【no!If they knew I didn't buy the ticket because I didn't have enough money, they would definitely be laughed at.As things stand now, all we can do is...]

"Edogawa III - The Magic of Death" pointed to the huge poster on the wall. Conan ran to the dog in the blue suit, seemingly showing off his own suit of the same style.

"Huh?! Isn't it New Gomera?" Mitsuhiko held a Coke: "Conan, didn't you say Edogawa III is a bad movie? You can watch it anytime?"

Realizing that his brother's eyes suddenly looked murderous, Conan pretended to be excited and cute and said: "How could I possibly say such a thing? Edogawa III is the work of brother Yuuji."

【So shameless...】

This is the true thought of the four of Xiao Ai at the moment. If they were given another chance, they would definitely not invite this guy out to watch a movie.

"What a compliment, I deserve a reward!" Yuji staggered into the ticket vending machine, casually threw the popcorn bucket in his hand to Conan, and then bought everyone's tickets.

"What is this?" The primary school student grabbed a handful of brown pellets with his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed: "It still smells like barbecue. Is there a new snack in the cinema?"

After all, Conan directly stuffed a handful of dog food into his mouth, and while chewing, he gave Mitsuhiko and the others a thumbs up: "It tastes super good, what's the name of this?"

"I don't know, but Conan, don't you think the taste is a bit weird?" Mitsuhiko hugged the popcorn and shook his head: "I also ate a little just now, and I always feel as if I saw this thing somewhere."

【When is it coming? 】

"Compared to this, I want to know who is that older sister?" Ayumi took Xiao Ai's hand, poked Conan, and asked him to look at the girl with double ponytails: "Conan, you have the best relationship with Brother Yuer , do you know who she is?"

Showing a surprised expression, Conan was just wondering at the moment: "Impossible, he was with us in Gunma County yesterday, when did he meet such a beautiful girl again?"

Kudo Shinichi silently found that in the entire Kudo family, he was the only one who was not that charismatic person. Compared with him, Yuji was simply a collection of father and mother.

"Sister Kaori, the bag in your hand is about to fall off." Mitsuhiko handed the popcorn to Genta and helped Kaori lift a white plastic bag, but accidentally exposed the yellow dog food inside.

[The small brown biscuit on the cover looks familiar...] (End of this chapter)
