Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

Chapter 119 Sister Akiko, tonight...

"Please don't run! Each person is limited to buying three new publications!"

The five people did not enter the venue, but were pushed into the comic exhibition by the people behind them. In just a breath of time, the wall formed by the queue separated Yuji, Judy and the three members of the organization.

Amuro Toru did not look at the crowd, leaving only Mizuno Rena who raised her hand high. Having participated in the exhibition with Yuji many times, he walked towards the West Hall skillfully and said goodbye to Chris at the fork in the road.

"Red line...ah, it's here." Holding the red line drawn by Yuji, Mizuno Rena looked at the queued people and the poster at the front and paused slightly.

"This is the end of the c93 team, please queue up consciously." The staff holding the loudspeaker kept raising the sign in his hand so that everyone could see it.

Pulling the small cart to the front, Mizuno Rena looked at the two men sitting behind the table and felt a little uncomfortable.

The poster next to them showed Rei Ayanami and Asuka, and the painting was a bit revealing. The hostess blushed and handed over 3,000 yen, remembering to follow what Yuji had told her in advance.

"Um... please give me three copies of the old issue and three copies of the new issue."

The man who wiped the sweat off his neck with the towel on his neck took two books from the table in front of him and handed them to Rena Mizuno.

"Okay, thank you for your patronage, "Wet Rei Ayanami" and "No Asuka", a total of 3,000 yen!"

After coughing, Rena Mizuno took out three Natsume Soseki from the wallet that Yuji had distributed and handed them to the man.

She crossed out the red circle of c93 on the paper with a pen and went to the next door to continue queuing.

………

"I want these."

The boy picked up nine books from the table, looked at the Sailor Moon on them, and skillfully handed out 8,000 yen.

After leaving the team, Yuji stuffed the books into the cart and stretched.

It's good to have someone to help buy. Yuzuki, Kaori, Shinichi and Xiaolan also accompanied him several times before, but they refused to accept the invitation later.

"Okay, let's go to the next destination!"

After taking the tissues from the maid cosplay on the roadside, Yuji planned to buy a book from another store.

"Why are there so many doujinshi of Edogawa III this year?"

Yuji looked up and saw the huge dog head poster hanging from the ceiling, and a group of cosplays wearing blue suits, red bows and gray shorts in the hall, and shrugged helplessly.

After spending 30,000 yen, the boy who successfully bought all the books he liked saw Miss Chris who had taken off her disguise at the corner.

"Ah... Miss Chris, did you take off your disguise?"

Yuji looked at his godmother who was sweating and fanning herself with the small fan of Edogawa III that was given to her, and took out a bottle of water from his cart.

"It's winter, why is it so hot here!" Miss Chris obviously lost her usual elegance, and the crowded venue made her very impatient at this time.

"It's okay, let's find a place to rest." Yuji pointed to the convenience store and tables and chairs outside: "I bought everything that can be bought here."

"By the way, is this the East Building or the West Building?" Chris sat on the chair and took out the route map in her pocket.

"We are now in the East Building, and only Mr. Amuro's destination is the West Building."

………

In the front hall of the East Building, Teacher Judy, who was holding a map at this time, kept comparing the road signs.

"This is the East Building, that is the south, then..."

Before looking up, a large number of people suddenly rushed up from behind and pushed the FBI agent into the elevator.

"Wait... I'm going there!"

Judy was pushed by the people behind her, and when she saw the light again, she was completely lost.

There was a staff member who was pointing the direction not far away. When he saw her coming, he immediately smiled politely.

"Excuse me, where is pu62?"

Judy's head hurt a little. Although she hadn't bought a single book yet, she was already exhausted.

"Pu? That's the East Building, right? This is the West Building!"

"Eh!" Judy subconsciously forgot to maintain her Japanese-poor persona, and asked fluently: "Where is the East Building?"

"If you go to the East Building, follow the line over there and queue up the stairs."

Looking at the crowded line and the venue staff who kept shouting with loudspeakers, Judy bent over tiredly: "How long will it take?"

"Well, according to the current situation, it will take at least an hour and a half..."

Judy was completely silent...

………

"Sorry... We didn't buy any books."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the five people gathered in front of the convenience store again. Looking at Judy who bowed her head in front of her and Miss Chris who was disguised as Dr. Shinde, Yuji shook his hand: "It's okay, you are willing to come and help me a lot."

What surprised the boy was Rena Mizunashi. He didn't expect her fighting power to be off the charts, and she was comparable to veterans like Toru Amuro.

"What is this book?"

Yuji suddenly found two more books in their cart, one is called "Beautiful Boy's Love", and the other is the famous big stall work "Neighbor Auntie".

You can tell which one is bought by whom at a glance...

"Why do you want to buy three books for one?" Mizunashi Rena watched the boy count the number of books, and remembered his purchase requirements and the stall's purchase limit: "Is there anything special?"

"If you buy three books, one is for reading, one is for collection, and the other is for preaching."

After confirming everything, Yuji ate his sandwich and looked over at the girl idol who was singing the OP of Edogawa III: "Those two guests who were pulled up by the singer seem familiar."

The four of them also turned their heads to look. Although it was not obvious, Yuji could see that the faces of the three organizers suddenly became ugly.

"Excuse me, what is this gentleman's name? You seem to like Hayashihara Rei very much." The singer handed the microphone to the tall man on the right wearing Hayashihara Rei's jacket and black sunglasses.

"My name is Uozuka Saburo."

The man just introduced his name and stopped talking. The helpless singer had to look at the tall and burly thin man on the left who was also wearing Hayashihara Rei's jacket.

This person is silent...

"Okay, leave them alone." Yuji leaned on Dr. Shinde: "Anyway, today is over. Thank you for your hard work! Just go shopping in the afternoon..."

"Actually, it's quite relaxing now." Amuro Toru took a sip of coffee: "In the summer, I attended comic exhibitions with Mr. Kudo. During the day, participants kept sweating. In the venue, you could even see clouds of steam, and smoke was billowing above your heads!"

The sun gradually set, and the five people who walked out of the venue took a deep breath of fresh air and said goodbye near the subway station.

"I'm back!"

Pushing open the door of Yuji's house, the boy looked at Akiko and Hiroki waiting in the living room, and put the suitcase and the empty cart at the door.

"What are you doing, Sister Akiko!"

Seeing Akiko approaching step by step, the boy quickly hugged the box and shook his head at her: "These are all my treasures!"

"Yuji..." Akiko put her hands on her hips: "You can't buy those weird things back, Hiroki is only twelve years old!"

"No, these books are like fertilizers. Without them, I can't draw comics."

"Really?" Akiko hesitated for a moment, but still pulled the box over: "Then put it here for safekeeping, and you can take it when you want to read it."

Holding Akiko's arm, the boy lowered his head to suppress his shame.

"Sister Akiko... I'm going to use it tonight... ahem, look..."
