Conan: The Mechanic

Saying goodbye to the scouts, the group returned home amid the laughter of the incident caused by the misunderstanding.

"Huh?" When she and Haibara Ai put the ingredients in the refrigerator together, Hotaru suddenly realized that Haibara Ai seemed to have bought other things besides peanut butter, blueberry jam and sliced ​​bread. "Are you—Sumen?"

"Yeah," Haiyuan Ai nodded. "You should eat this on Tanabata, right?"

"Well—" Ying thought for a moment. "Probably? When I was a child, my mother would make some noodles for me on Tanabata. I remember saying it was to pray for no disasters--do you want to make some noodles for Qianyu?"

"..." Haibara Ai hurriedly glanced at the living room and nodded after confirming that no one was paying attention. "Barely? After all, I also really want to eat plain noodles, so I will make a little more at this time."

"Can you do it?" Ying asked. "If you can, I want to learn."

"Hmm..." Haiyuan Ai shook his head. "But I have a cookbook here, and it says how to make some noodles, so I bought some cheap new noodles in addition to the ones I bought two years ago. The purpose is to practice my hands." It is delicious only after the new year, and it is also more expensive. According to the different storage time, the plain noodles are divided into new items; ancient items and large antiques. However, if they are stored for more than three or four years, the plain noodles are too old.)

"If you want to make a copy for Tachibana, I'd better have a look around," Fujiwara suddenly appeared at the kitchen door. "In terms of plain noodles, I still tried a few times. You don't buy many of these noodles, and you can't try them a few times. It's better to avoid wasting precious antiques and equally precious time."

"Fujiwara-kun, can you make some noodles?" Hotaru was a little surprised. "It was beyond my expectations."

"A skill of this level must be learned," Fujiwara shrugged. "When I was very young, I started to learn cooking skills with my mother-in-law, the servant at home."

"Xiao Ai, what do you think?" Hotaru looked at Fujiwara. "If Fujiwara helps you, I will be able to make more delicious noodles for you and Chiba!"

"..." Haibara Ai's eyes only stayed on Fujiwara's face for a moment and then immediately moved away. "alright, thank you very much."

…………

Fujiwara stood behind Haibara Ai and watched as she fished the freshly boiled plain noodles out of the pot with a slotted spoon, rinsed it under the tap to remove the sticky substance, and put it into the prepared bowl beside her. A bowl full of cold water.

"..." Fujiwara frowned, but said nothing.

"Is this okay?" After putting the noodles in the bowl, Haibara turned his head and asked Fujiwara.

"You're too nervous," Fujiwara said lightly. "Does it make you nervous when I'm behind your back?"

"..." Haibara Ai was clearly as Fujiwara said, she was quite nervous when facing him - not long ago, he almost killed himself. Although he and Belmod later promised not to attack him again, the fear that Fujiwara had brought to her might take quite a long time to be washed away by time.

"Well, let me ask a question first," Fujiwara asked suddenly. "Where do you want to go with Tachibana?"

"?" Hai Yuanai was stunned. "Um--"

"If all goes well, will you get married?" Fujiwara asked again.

"..." Haiyuan thought for a while, then nodded. "Probably, if all goes well."

"Then why are you worried about me?" The corners of Fujiwara's mouth twitched slightly. "If you're with Tachibana, it's impossible for you to harm the interests of the organization, right? Since you won't be our enemy, what reason do we have to put you at a disadvantage?"

Fujiwara had been in contact with Haibara Ai, who goes by the pseudonym Kokono Shisheng, and knew that she was not a peacekeeper who thought about the world, but just an ordinary person with flesh and blood. And if this flesh and blood ordinary person falls in love with a person who always cares about the organization, then this person will never damage the organization that his sweetheart regards as life.

There is no other reason, Sherry loves Icewine deeply - if Fujiwara said, this is actually quite a pale and illusory reason.

But there are always many people who are willing to bet everything for this illusory reason, which also makes this reason, which is very fragile from a rational point of view, extremely solid and reliable under the influence of emotion.

"..." After a moment of silence, Haibara Ai still shook her head. "Sorry, I have no ill will towards you. But... please give me a little time, I still need a little time to get used to this."

"No problem," Fujiwara nodded. "Sorry, I was too hasty."

…………

About five minutes later, the table was filled with cutlery, and everyone sat in front of the table, looking at a small serving of noodles soaked in cold water and a small plate of side dishes in the bowl in front of them. Right in the middle of them, and a big pot of sliced ​​bread and two bowls of jam

"It looks great!" Yuan Tai said happily~www.readwn.com~ Did you do it, Haihara-san? "

"Fujiwara-san gave a lot of guidance beside him," Haibara Ai sat on the main seat and just smiled faintly. "So I'm just the one in charge."

"I think I'm going to eat a lot today~" Ying's smile was as happy as Yuan Tai's, and there was also a sense of beauty in it that made everyone present feel refreshed - this is not an illusion, but Ying Ying The skill of "laughing" mastered after rigorous training. Although such an action seems simple, in fact, a lot of energy is spent on highlighting the beauty of the smile through the appropriate expression and posture.

"By the way, Tachibana hasn't come back yet?" Fujiwara asked suddenly looking at the empty seat directly opposite Haibara Ai. "What did he do?"

"In the last few days of a serial murder case, Tachibana found a clue and then reported it to Officer Matsumoto. After that, he may have continued to investigate the case with Officer Matsumoto." Ai Haibara explained.

"Still in charge of the case at this time?" Fujiwara raised his eyebrows. "Well, although Tanabata is indeed not obliged to accompany your girlfriend in Japan, but..."

Having said that, Fujiwara suddenly glanced at Hotaru who was looking at him playfully, and then changed his tune. "Since there is no such obligation, then it is probably completely okay not to do so?"

[But...why did that Irish guy pull Icewine? Did he know Icewine's identity? Even if you know, there is no need to drag a guy with only a child's body into such a serious task, right? 】

[The worst thing is, if this is the case, then maybe the two things that were sent just now will be useless...]
