Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"here!"

Sitting by the window of the observation restaurant, Bermod, who was disguised as Machiko Kurosawa, waved to Yuji. She was wearing a sports jacket, but her lower body was in tight trousers, which made the boy glance twice before slowly sitting down. Down.

"It's actually this seat..."

It was here that his parents proposed, and it was also here that Shinichi confessed his love. Yuji looked at the pretty face across from him that looked very similar to his own, and became slightly more vigilant.

I don’t know why Belmode suddenly called him out and used the identity of Machiko Kurosawa, but since it was unclear, there were probably organized people in the restaurant.

"Speaking of which, although we have met before, we don't know each other." Belmode tied up her hair with a black hair tie: "I am Chrissy's daughter. Speaking of which, the two of us can be regarded as siblings."

Kudo Yuji is just sixteen, while Machiko is seventeen.

"That's what happened. Miss Chris sent a message. I thought she wanted to see me for something."

The meal was served quickly. Yuji's eyes fell on the coffee ice cream. He picked up the spoon with his right hand and scooped some into his mouth.

Seeing this, Vodka, who was also eating in the distance, smiled at Cohen and Chianti.

"Did you see that every step I take is done with skill?"

"Isn't it just a dessert? Where's the skill?" Chianti peeked at Yuji and felt that he was eating very well, so he also ordered an ice cream using the ordering machine at the table.

"What do you know? If you want to conquer the heroine in the love game, you have to keep increasing your favorability."

Vodka counted on his fingers: "This restaurant and that seat are where Kudo Yusaku proposed to his wife. Also, Kudo Yuji likes coffee. I specifically asked the chef to serve dessert first. With these two things in mind, the favorability level will be low." It’s about forty.”

Machiko Kurosawa's appearance can be regarded as that of a beautiful girl. If she adds ten points, she is already close to the passing line.

"It's just...it's just...too cold."

Cohen's words reached Vodka's heart. Nearly five minutes had passed since the meal, but the voice heard from the headphones did not exceed Machiko Kurosawa's five sentences in total. Besides, the heroine he set today is not Machiko Kurosawa. If she continues like this, his plan will be ruined.

Holding on to the headphones, Vodka issued the first command.

"Miss, from now on, please repeat what I said."

Yuji saw Belmod paused across from him and lowered his hand holding the spoon.

"Kudo-kun, what do you usually like to do?"

"Me?" Yuji pointed at his face: "Does drawing comics count?"

Now that I'm back home, work has to officially start, and I have to deliver the manga manuscripts to Yuko and Miss Umeko next Monday.

"This is work, right? Generally speaking, work and interests are mostly different. I'm asking about your hobbies."

"As for hobbies, I like models and figures."

Vodka lowered his head and let out a snort of laughter: "A large home store has opened in 3-chome of Miwa Town. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Chianti noticed that Kudo Yuji's eyes seemed to light up, and he kept nodding at Machiko Kurosawa, and then tugged on Cohen: "It really worked. He didn't plan to leave after the meal, so he agreed!"

"This is called giving in to what you like. It's absolutely impossible to win over Kudo Yuuji with just one meal, so we have to find a way to extend the time the two of us can be together."

Vodka glanced at Kurosawa Machiko, and he didn't tell the two people in front of him the inside story.

After calling Minami Kaori, Vodka did hesitate about Belmode's opinion of Kudo Yuji. At first, I thought that I and Minami Kaori must have made a mistake, but after sending the photo of Machiko Kurosawa in the restaurant to my elder brother, he said that the girl was not Machiko Kurosawa because there were traces of mask disguising on her face.

"That woman is Belmode."

Vodka was shocked, and immediately told Gin about his suspicion, and saw his elder brother's expression changed slightly in the video, as if he was remembering some past events.

"It's really her style to attack boys of this age..."

Although I don’t know why my eldest brother knew about Bellmod’s hobby, Vodka didn’t ask any more questions, but since Bellmod disguised himself as his own daughter and went on a date, he just had to let nature take its course according to the original plan and wait until Kudo Yuji was taken down before exposing it. With her identity, everything is settled.

Following the two of them to the store, Vodka hurriedly dragged Cohen and Chianti into a clothing store on the side and rented three sets of cosplay clothes.

"Wearing formal clothes to go to home stores like this would definitely seem to others to be mentally ill."

Vodka rented a black uniform, stuck a beard on his chin, and put on sunglasses.

"People always want to understand each other for some reason, but it is impossible to fully understand each other. People are such sad creatures."

"It seems that although he is much stronger than Lao Qi, his voice is almost exactly the same!"

Many nerds gathered around Vodka, scrambling to take photos with him, and some asked him to say more lines.

"What? This housewife look doesn't match me at all." Chianti tugged on her apron, saw the tag pinned to it, and raised her eyebrows to read it.

"Furuga Bakery? What is this?"

"And...one...a prop."

Cohen gave Chianti the plastic bread that the clerk had given him when he rented clothes. He watched her study for a long time, and finally found the button on the back of the bread. When pressed, water mist slowly sprayed out.

"It's just a simple humidifier."

Cohen looked at Chianti, who was also surrounded by people, and finally did not forget the mission of the three of them. He raised his head and looked around the store, and finally saw Kudo Yuji and Kurosawa Machiko.

"What are you..."

Seeing Ms. Bellmode keep saying Commander Ikari's classic lines, Yuji was speechless and had to pretend that he didn't hear her.

"This is not my intention, it's just..."

Chrissy also fell silent. From Yuji's face, she could see that something was wrong with what Vodka said. She always felt an inexplicable sense of shame now.

She had the urge to drink vodka. Last time she was poisoned by the tofu shop's secret drug. Because she couldn't control her voice, she didn't feel so embarrassed when the boy listened to the whole thing.

"Maybe you were infected by the atmosphere, after all, it's a place like this." Yuji raised his head: "But this store is really big, there are eight floors from here up."

The first floor is the cosplay hall. When they stood on the elevator and went down, they could see many colorful monsters.

"Speaking of what you just said, there is a special section down there."

The young man pointed at the Ikari father and son and Unit-01 who were standing together in the corner taking pictures, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that we got on the elevator early. It's rare to see a reunited cosplay family."

Seeing that Yuji was slowly enjoying the atmosphere in the store, Belmod also breathed a sigh of relief and put the organization's ruinous mission behind him.

"Let's go, I brought the card out." (End of chapter)
