Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Even if you're just taking care of this child temporarily, there's no need to redecorate the room in your house, right?"

Yuji took a deep breath as he looked at the pink-decorated room that originally belonged to Kaori and was now filled with all kinds of dolls, a high-end desk, and a princess bed that was big enough to buy all of Yuji's model collections.

"Whose family is this girl from? Why is she so rich?"

The boy turned and stared at Yuzuki and Kaori: "This is a little rich woman."

Just kidding, that bed is better than anyone else's at home. Of course, it's not that Yuuji can't afford it, but he just doesn't think it's necessary, after all, his brother still sleeps on the floor at Mori's house.

"It's understandable. It's normal for girls to use better things." Yuzuki turned her head away guiltily. She felt that she owed her daughter so it was acceptable to engage in revenge consumption once. So she let Yuuji go to the living room to watch TV by himself, and then took Rise to the door of the room.

"How is it?" Kaori put her hands on her hips: "Rize's room, do you like it?"

"It's okay." The little girl paused and said, "My grandma will take me away in a few days, so I don't have to give up my room."

"Oh, we forgot to tell you."

Kaori pushed the girl into the room, then hugged her and fell onto the bed, feeling the comfort of the high-end stuff.

"Actually, this room and the room next door were originally the rooms Yuji was going to give to his future children, but we're just moving in to live in temporarily."

Yuzuki sat on the edge of the bed, watching the noisy Kaori and Rize, and always felt like she actually had two daughters.

"From now on, this room belongs to Rize, so..."

"Mother."

The sudden call made Yuzuki and Kaori stop. When they came to their senses, they also noticed the caution and timidity in the girl's eyes. She seemed to be afraid, but she couldn't control herself and called out the most intimate name.

"what happened?"

Unlike the previous situation where you guessed and I knew, and I knew you guessed, now both mother and daughter were talking openly. So Kaori let go of Rize, sat up from the bed, and then stroked the girl's head with Yuzuki.

"Won't you hate me?"

"Why?" Yuzuki looked at Rize in confusion, thinking that someone must have said something to her.

"Because I was born against my father and mother's wishes, it's normal to be hated...someone said so."

There was a chill in the good-tempered girl's body. Although her expression was calm, she gave people an inexplicable feeling of horror.

"Anyone who says something like that will definitely die from overwork, so don't take it to heart, Rize."

[Will...will I die? ]

Although the long-haired uncle has a bad mouth and says this every time he hears her mention the topic of her parents, he is usually very nice.

"Don't worry, you are a child born of love." Kaori hugged Rize and said, "Do you want to tell your father?"

"I want to wait a little longer."

"Okay." Jie Yue pinched her daughter's baby face and said, "Until you are ready, Mom will keep it a secret."

"Ah."

【It’s great to have two mothers...】

……

"Really? She said she was getting married tomorrow so she couldn't leave right now. Please let me pick her up."

Holding the steering wheel, Yuuji finally returned home and was ready to watch some anime to replenish his inspiration, but after receiving a call from Jinpei Matsuda, he had to pick up the car keys and go out.

"But why is there no news from Fujiwara?"

While checking his phone at a red light, Yuuji discovered that the man still hadn't said a word. Even though Jinpei Matsuda was getting married tomorrow, he still hadn't asked about going to see her.

After just a few days away, Tokyo seemed to have seen a lot of things. As usual, Uncle Maori was also solving a great case today. However, in order to take care of his wife, he had to take Eri Kisaki back home, and then face the horrible murder dishes every day. The car stopped downstairs of Maori Detective Agency. The students of Teitan should still be on their way back. Yuji rubbed his wrist, lifted the curtain of Kogoro Yakitori Restaurant and walked in.

"boss!"

Mizuno, wearing a general's white robe and with his hair wrapped in a blue towel, is now moving a box of frozen chicken to make chicken and scallion yakitori.

"Oh, everyone is full of energy today."

The young man greeted them and his eyes fell on Okiya Subaru and his wife behind him.

"Mr. Okiya, did Officer Matsuda send you an invitation?"

After resigning, Jinpei Matsuda, who was used to entering and leaving crime scenes as a policeman, often encountered various problems, so he had to invite Uncle Mori to dinner frequently to gain many experiences that sounded speechless but were very useful.

"I don't think we know each other well enough for me to attend his wedding." Okiya Subaru adjusted his glasses: "Besides, it's difficult for me to give gifts."

"You live in my house, but you still can't save money?"

Yuuji took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Subaru Okiya: "I took a detour just for this invitation."

Although Toru Amuro hates Shuichi Akai, it is his brother's wedding after all, so he would not deliberately not allow him to come.

"Thank you."

After hesitating for a while, Okiya Subaru finally accepted it. After discovering that Mizuno went to the next door to buy tofu, he looked at Yuji seriously and said, "Boss, our business has been much worse recently."

The boy who was about to leave stopped when he heard this. As he was planning to open a branch store, he couldn't bear to hear the word "losing money".

"What's that? Have we neglected our cooking recently, or is the menu too old?"

"Not really."

Subaru Okiya shook his head. In an izakaya in a shopping street like this, a novel menu is not a good thing. On the contrary, regular customers come for the familiar taste, so at least they won't be disappointed.

"Because a sushi restaurant recently opened next door to the Polo Cafe."

"Ok?"

Yuji was stunned for a moment, walked out of the store and moved a few steps to the side. As expected, he saw a sushi restaurant called Iroha. The sign looked very new. Although there was no one inside in broad daylight, the sign hanging at the door that read "Today's reservations are full" still showed that this sushi restaurant was doing good business.

"That's weird, a sushi restaurant?"

In fact, for the Japanese, sushi is a very interesting thing. If you make it at home, it is just adding food to the rice ball, which is not as good as eating sashimi. This is why conveyor belt sushi is not recognized as sushi by people.

When it comes to sushi, who makes it is more important than whether it tastes good. Although experienced chefs do make sushi tastier, that's only because they are better at choosing ingredients than ordinary people.

Leaning close to the store window, Yuji looked at the masked chef who was preparing tuna inside and took a few steps back in surprise.

"You must be kidding. Selling this kind of food at this price, does the owner think it's cooler not to wear pants?"

[If this continues, you will definitely lose everything. 】

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. At least uncle will definitely take care of our business..."

"Eh?"

A familiar voice came from beside him, and Yuji looked at Maori Kogoro who was holding the sushi reservation card with a rich expression.

"No, Yuuji, it's just that I can only eat this kind of food with this money, so today is a rare occasion..."

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Maori?" The chef with the eyepatch walked out from the door. "Although I run a sushi restaurant, I still want to ask, don't you get tired of eating sushi for five consecutive days?"

Maori Kogoro was caught in the Shura field of the Yakitori restaurant and the sushi restaurant. (End of this chapter)
