Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 40 The Enemy of Edogawa III
"Conan, good morning."

Ayumi walked into the classroom and greeted Conan warmly, who was sitting in a daze in his seat. After last night's incident, she felt that the three of them and this new classmate were already good friends.

"Ah, morning."

Thinking of the phone call with Xiaolan last night, Conan lowered his head and started his day as a first-year student.

...When will I be able to change back!
In a coffee shop in Ginza, Yuji was discussing the content of the next episode of "Edogawa III" with the editor Umeko.

Miss Meizi took out a young man's keep from her bag, and turned to the last page of Edogawa III: "Mr. Fujimine, "Edogawa III" has been serialized for five years. What are your thoughts on the plot of the manga later on?" ?"

Within five years, "Edogawa III" had 240 episodes of animation, 25 booklets and 4 theatrical versions.Yuji also began to realize that he couldn't draw according to the fixed routine, and it was time for him to change his style.

"I thought about it carefully. One is to change the plot of the comics and add a main line, and the other is to link with other works to increase the freshness."

Yuji took out the paintbrush, and started to paint under Miss Meizi's surprised eyes. Because it was a rough plot, there was no need for post-processing, and Yuji quickly finished fifteen pages.

Ms. Umeko took the comic from Yuji and began to read it carefully.

In the previous volume of the comic, the juvenile adventure group fell asleep collectively while participating in a rocket simulation experience. The fake rocket was stolen. They opened the rocket's hatch and found that they had actually arrived on Mars. There was still oxygen on the surface of Mars to breathe.

Of course, all of this is false. In fact, the scientist Dr. Allen wants to change the atmosphere of Mars so that humans can emigrate to space. In the middle of the story, there is a juvenile adventure group fighting wits and courage with Dr. Allen using various props.

In the end, the machine failed and the base began to self-destruct. In order to send the children out of the experimental base, Dr. Allen sacrificed himself.

The fifteen pages of comics added by Yuji allowed Dr. Allen to reveal a shocking news to the Youth Adventure Group before his death. It turned out that the bad guys that the Youth Adventure Group defeated in the past were all from the same organization.

Miss Umeko continued reading from the end of the previous volume.

Dr. Allen pulled Edogawa III's dog's paw, and intermittently stated the characteristics of the organization.

"It was a huge organization surrounded by layers of doubts. They all wore white lab coats, and most of them were bald, so they all wore wigs.

As far as I know, members of the organization use drinks as their code names. "

Edogawa III put his paw on Dr. Allen's chest, and asked anxiously, "Doctor, where is your code name, please tell me."

Dr. Allen's pupils were already dizzy, but he still tried his best to say his code name.

"...My codename...is...7-up (7-up)..."

The children of the adventure group threw themselves on Dr. Allen's body and cried bitterly: "Doctor!"

Only Edogawa III straightened his paws to the sky: "Drink! I will definitely defeat all your ambitions!"

Miss Meizi stared at the boy in front of her with wide eyes, she sighed silently in her heart.

What a terrifying talent, able to draw such a powerful plot in such a short period of time, Mr. Fujimine is indeed a born manga artist!
"Then, what is the linkage?"

Yuji turned back the manga magazine again and placed Kaori-san's new manga "Phantom Thief Girl" in front of Miss Umeko.

"I plan to put this manga into the world view of Edogawa III. Although it is a bit troublesome to draw the Kaitou girl who can cross-dress as a permanent character, but if she comes to the rescue as a special character, both sides can greatly improve. Popularity.”

Miss Mei Zi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood something.

To be honest, with the current popularity of Edogawa III, a new manga's Kaitou Girl is of little use. Maybe new readers will start to like "Edogawa III" because of this character, but more of Edogawa III's Fans go to see "Phantom Thief Girls."

Kudo Yuji actually has no interest in crossovers, but now that Kaori-san has started drawing a new manga, in order to prevent her from being as popular as the last one and ending so quickly, Yuji decided to make an advertisement for Kaori.

He dialed Kaori's phone number in front of Miss Umeko.

"Hey, Yuji-san, what's the matter?"

"Kaori-san, actually I have something to ask you."

"sure!"

Yuji was stunned for a moment: "But I haven't said what it is?"

"As long as I'm Yuuji-san, anything is possible."

After hanging up the phone, Yuuji drank his coffee and was still thinking about the reason why Kaori-san was so straightforward. When he realized that Ms. Umeko was still sitting opposite him, he quickly apologized and ended today's conversation.

"Is Miss Meizi going to the editorial department later?" Yuji followed Miss Meizi to the underground garage of a nearby department store: "I signed up for a dessert class, and I'm going to go to class later, so I'll say goodbye to you here first .”

"Okay, goodbye, Fujimine-sensei"

"Goodbye, drive carefully."

Yuji found the dessert classroom with his bag. The dessert he was learning today was macarons. After careful practice, the boy began to imagine the appearance of macarons.

I remember that there seems to be something in Shinichi's treasure chest, so let's make macarons like it.I cheated my brother last night, and today I will help him with dessert, don't thank me.

After class, the boy came to Maoli's house in a taxi. He held the dessert in his hand and knocked on the door.

"Sister Xiaolan, this is the dessert my brother asked me to send."

"Xinyi? Isn't this a handmade dessert?"

Xiaolan took the snack box and noticed the mark of the dessert classroom on it. Most of these snacks were handmade desserts made by herself.

"Yeah, it seems that he hired someone outside to do it."

After Yuji delivered the desserts, she went home. Xiaolan took the dessert box and put it on the dining table. She opened it and looked at it, then immediately closed it again.

"Xinyi is serious, why did you make it like this?"

The girl was complaining, but she had a smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be pressed down at all.

"I'm back." Conan opened the door. He saw Xiaolan's smile and asked strangely: "What's wrong, sister Xiaolan, is there anything happy?"

"It's nothing, it's your new brother who sent me handmade desserts."

Conan nodded, put on his slippers, and put down his schoolbag numbly to start doing homework.

Eh?Am I Kudo Shinichi?
He ran to Xiaolan again: "Where is it? Show me that handmade dessert, sister Xiaolan. Na na na, is it okay? Please."

"I really can't do anything with you. It's on the dining table. Yuji brought it to me."

Yuji?What have you done again?

Conan walked straight to the dining table, opened the box with squinting half-moon eyes, and then covered his face.

That stinky brother!Why do you want to make macarons look like cherry blossom badges?

　Let's all comment positively!
