Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 51
"Miss Wynyard, why are you meeting me?" Yuji placed the cake brought by the waiter in front of Chris, took his own portion and started eating.

"Actually, this announcement conference is mainly about me and you, and the others are going to other states to appear on the show. I really didn't expect that the author of Edogawa III is actually just a 15-year-old kid."

Belmode looked at the boy in front of her, and she remembered that girl that night a year ago.

Yuji nodded, waved again, and ordered a high-calorie burger.

"Sorry, I just arrived in the United States, and I haven't had lunch yet." Yuji didn't care about Chris' surprised gaze, and started eating directly.

Looking at Yuji, Belmode became suspicious again.Since he is the son of Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko, how could he be so careless in front of strangers.

There is light music playing in the coffee shop, and the people on the road are not like in Tokyo, they all walk very slowly.The only difference is that as soon as Yuji looked up, he could see the homeless people on the opposite side. They stared at the hamburger on Yuji's second hand in the glass with wide eyes, like people from two worlds.

After eating the hamburger, Yuuji wiped his hands with a towel, slumped on a chair while drinking coffee in satisfaction, and smiled embarrassedly at Chris.

"I'm really sorry. I'm not usually so rude in front of outsiders. But when I see Miss Wynyard, I feel like I'm facing my mother and I can relax."

As if remembering something, the woman's face was not as stiff as before, but softened.

Raising his hand and glancing at his watch, Belmode turned on the phone and dialed the driver's number, then took Yuji out of the cafe.

Just as Yuji was about to sit in the back seat, he saw a few strokes of familiar blond hair slightly exposed on the cab. He took a few steps sideways and stood by the window, and shouted in surprise: "Mr. Amuro?"

"Mr. Kudo! Have you come to America too?"

Pulling down the window, Toru Amuro glanced at the building next door, and let Yuuji and Chris get into the car.

"So, do Mr. Amuro and Miss Wynyard know each other?"

Yuji gave Belmode the autographed manga he had prepared in advance, and asked her to write her name on the back of Ran's photo.

As expected, the woman's expression became a bit softer. Yuji lay on the driver's seat again and pulled Amuro Toru's blond hair with his hand.

"Quickly answer my question!"

Eh?Why does Belmode have such a strange expression?
"I met Chrissy's boyfriend, and he asked me to take this big star back to Japan."

Boy friend?Ah, it's gin, right?Wow, Miss Chris's face suddenly darkened just now, Mr. Amuro won't be taken away by a shot.

After placing Yuuji in front of Kudo's house, Toru Amuro continued to drive north. As soon as he drove out of a traffic light, a gun was pressed against the back of his head.

"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of that child again, I guarantee that this bullet will be embedded in your head." Belmode rolled directly from the back seat to the passenger seat, holding the gift that Yuji gave her just now. Signed comics.

"And don't you think that you are too close to that child?"

This Bourbon probably has some bad thoughts about Yukiko's son.

"Okay, okay, now you can tell me what the organization is doing here." Amuro Toru looked ahead without changing his expression, but blocked the muzzle of the gun with his right hand.

Handing over a photo, Belmode conveyed the mission to Amuro Toru.

"The genius boy who disappeared in Massachusetts two years ago was recently seen by members of the organized fringe."

Belmode chuckled: "Isn't Shirley a little resistant to research recently? That kid is so smart, he should be able to take over Shirley's work.

But those unlovable hounds are here recently, and I really can’t bring that boy back to Japan by myself, so Gin asked you to come.You can rest assured, Calvados, Ireland is here too today. "

By sending out four code-named members at once, does the organization want to have fun with the FBI?

Toru Amuro thought of that man, and he showed a cold smile that Yuji had never seen before.

At Kudo's house in Los Angeles, Yuji looked at his father who was writing manuscripts and his mother who was reading manga. He had nothing to do but played games on the TV.

"This is a beautiful girl game. How do you play it?"

Yukiko suddenly lay down behind her son. She looked at the two-dimensional girls who looked different on the TV and picked up the game box again.

"...Probably... just... fall in love with them..."

…It’s so shameful to play in front of my mother!

Yuji put down the controller and handed Yukiko the game introduction.He coughed twice, hoping that his father would notice what was going on here, but in fact, Kudo Yusaku was already immersed in thinking about the plot of the novel and did not see it at all.

"What, what? Is Xiaoyou also interested in love?"

Is it the girl named Usami, or the girl named Minami?
I just took this opportunity to chat with my mother. She is a world-famous actress, so she should understand this kind of love topic very well.

Yuji turned off the video game and sat in front of Yukiko. He bowed first and then said seriously: "Mom, I want to ask you to discuss love."

Yukiko put the game away and then stood up: "Okay, let's wrap it up with mom."

Yuji put the photos of the two girls on the table and scratched his face.

"I think Kaori-san probably likes me. Although I am very slow, I can feel it more or less. I will also be a little unhappy when she talks to other boys."

"Well, what about Usami-chan?"

"Last year, during the fireworks festival, I suddenly felt different about her. I used to just treat her as a daughter, but recently... I always feel dazed when I see her.

I went to Sister Yuanzi's villa with her before and helped her blow dry her hair. I was a little embarrassed. She was obviously very calm before. "

Who do you really like?I can't be a scumbag, damn it, Brother Cheng is still watching from the rooftop!
Yuji took a sip of water, hoping to get an answer from his mother.

It's... that kid... right?

"Mom?" The boy poked his mother who was in a daze.

"Who do you really like, the answer depends on you to find out, just listen to you, I can't judge, but it will affect your thinking, won't it?"

…Then what kind of love discussion is this?

Yukiko returned the game to Yuji, and then took out a custom-made suit from the closet at home. At this time, Kudo Yusaku finished writing the manuscript and looked over here.

Mother put the suit in Yuji's hand and carefully introduced to him the talk show for tonight's press conference.

"Your dad also participated in this show 12 years ago, and the host is his fan, so you don't have to worry."

The sound of the car sounded from the door, Yuji looked out, and Miss Wynyard who came to pick him up had already parked the car downstairs.

"Oh, Mr. Amuro, you are here again, do you want to come with us?"

Yuuji gave Miss Kris the sandwich he made himself, and then pulled Amuro Toru's blond hair.

Eh?Why is Belmode unhappy again?
