Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Dragging his tired body, Okiya Subaru opened the oil pan to preheat, while he was waiting for Elena to get the raw pork chops that had been prepared in advance.

"Ouch!"

Licking his face, Shinpachi stepped back and exerted his strength. The whole dog lay on the table in the lounge, and his eager eyes were clearly begging for food. Seeing him like this, Yujiro and Haro followed suit and occupied the small table together.

"Shinpachi?!"

After changing into a blue kimono from the dressing room, Akiko wrapped her hair in a scarf. As soon as she went out, she saw the blue figure at the table.

"And Yujiro."

She originally took her two dogs and one cat to stay at Yuko's house, but within a few days they all ran to the Mori Detective Agency. Who knows what she was thinking when she received the call from Xiaolan.

"So you are living at Mr. Amuro's house now."

Although the girl did not take any substantial actions, the two dogs of the Kudo family inevitably started to tremble.

"Miss Akiko, are you still used to working here?"

Toru Amuro stared at the girl in front of him with pitiful eyes. He had already guessed her true identity. After learning that she was threatened by Belmode to work in the bird roasting shop, he sympathized with the daughter of his first love.

"Ah! It's Mr. Amuro, and you!" Elena Okiya opened the curtain of the lounge, because she was wearing the only women's kimono in the Yakiniku restaurant, and her blond hair had a special charm.

…Of course, it also makes Akiko wearing a men’s kimono even more pitiful.

"Good morning, Miss Okiya."

After spending many days together, although she didn’t know why Okiya Subaru’s sister appeared with a fake identity out of nowhere, Teacher Judy decided to pretend to be her sister-in-law and take good care of this girl who “ran away from home” for some unknown reason.

"Good morning, Mrs. Okiya, I've been getting up a little late recently." She greeted the other party bitterly, and Akiko tried her best to control herself not to show any strange emotions.

"Yeah, I'm quite embarrassed too, because I have a stable job, so I have relaxed recently." Teacher Judy held her face, like a royal wife: "I am preparing for pregnancy recently, and the store has caused trouble for you. "

"No..." Akiko blinked and walked out of the lounge in small steps.

"Oh, why is that? She doesn't seem to like me very much?"

Turning around, he found Toru Amuro covering his mouth and seemed to be snickering. Teacher Judy sat down and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Amuro, who is this girl? Is there really Subaru Okiya?"

"Subaru Okiya is your husband, why would you ask such a question?" Holding Harrow in his arms, Toru Amuro stroked the dog's head back and forth.

"Then...does Miss Akiko really have a brother named Subaru Okiya?"

"Should I say yes... or no..."

For some reason, the blond man in front of him suddenly buried his face in Haro's body and laughed fiercely. Teacher Judy patted her face, returned to the state of Okiya Elena, said a simple hello and went out to work.

[Although it’s fun, I always feel an inexplicable stomachache. 】

After walking into the lounge with the fried pork cutlet set meal, Okiya Subaru placed the plate on the table with force while glaring at Bourbon who was looking at the joke.

"Where's the mango ice cream?"

He picked up the fried pork chops with chopsticks and put them into the mouths of the three dogs one by one. After leaving half for himself, Toru Amuro first picked up the red bowl of miso soup and took a sip, then turned his chopsticks over and took a mouthful of rice.

"I think the guests don't want to eat the melted ice cream, so I plan to serve it after eating." Subaru Okiya showed a shy smile: "What do you think?"

"I'm very satisfied with your attitude. Treating others with humility and humor is the character that an izakaya waiter should have."

Toru Amuro generously took out his wallet from his pocket, and then pushed a five hundred yen coin in front of Subaru Okiya.

"This is a tip from me, accept it with confidence." This is definitely an insult. Maybe it's too much. The man in front of me just wants to have fun with his response. If you are angry, you will be at a disadvantage and will be ridiculed like a monkey. If you accept it generously, you will be ridiculed.

Almost instantly, Okiya Subaru thought of a way to deal with it. He picked up the five hundred yen coin on the table, then pretended to be careless and dropped the coin right at Toru Amuro's feet.

"Sorry, I seemed to have dropped the tip you gave me just now. Could you please pick it up for me?"

Putting the chopsticks on the table, Amuro Toru just stamped his feet, and the coins on the ground jumped into the air and landed firmly on the table. The blond pushed him in front of Okiya Subaru again.

"Give."

He planned to watch the show again, but seeing the confusion on Okiya Subaru's face, Bourbon lowered his head and checked the coin, and felt that there was no difference.

"I remember that the tip you gave me was clearly five pieces of Fukuzawa Yukichi. How could it turn into a five hundred yen coin?"

Subaru Okiya and Toru Amuro raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at each other: "Take the tip back and change it into a smaller denomination. Mr. Amuro, I think this is quite boring."

"you!"

"Okiya! The first wave of guests has arrived, what are you still doing in silence?!"

Walking into the lounge with a loud voice, the store manager Rena Mizuno was wearing a pink kimono. She was slightly startled when she saw Toru Amuro and the three dogs who were eating crazily while he wasn't paying attention.

"Ah, the sandwich master next door is here too." Reina Mizuno put her hands on her hips and ignored Bourbon: "Hurry up, Mr. Yoshioka is here with someone."

……

“This place is better than expected.”

Sitting cross-legged in the small box, Mr. Yoshioka raised his head and looked around at the Japanese-style sliding doors used as the next door. After nodding, he focused on the two women wearing police academy uniforms across from him.

"Nobuno Mita, and Kazuka Nogami, right?"

"Hi!" x2

Not to mention Mita Nobuno, Nogami Kazuka next to her is a very different person. In other subjects, she can only be said to be Hiramatsu, only bomb disposal and shooting are the two top ones.

"I see in the police academy file that you love bomb disposal. Can you tell me why?"

Mr. Yoshioka took the green tea poured by Curacao next to him and looked at Nogami Kazuka while drinking it.

"Hey, it's for revenge."

"Is that so? It turns out it's for revenge... revenge?" Mr. Yoshioka blinked, with a question mark above his head, speechless.

[Wouldn’t it happen that he met the murderer in which episode? 】

"Yes, this comes from my personal experience."

"Well, let's talk about it in detail." Mr. Yoshioka expressed great interest.

"It was a snowy night. My mother was sent to the hospital by my father, and then..." Nogami Kazuka took a sip of tea, feeling numb from the bitterness of the tea leaves.

【Died? Or was there a car accident on the road? Do you want to kill the doctor or the driver...]

Amami Yuki next to her, Mita Nobuno across from her, and Haibara Ai in her arms all listened attentively, expecting her to tell some story, but they heard something the next second.

"Then I was born."
