Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"You are here to buy Coke and popcorn, right?"

Yuji held out the bill and took the empty bucket of popcorn from the salesperson's helpless eyes.

"Hey, why is there only a bucket? Aren't you buying popcorn?" The four children stared, and the pocket money they were going to buy snacks in their hands tightened.

[Did the price of popcorn increase? Then the money we brought might not be enough...]

"No, four guests, it was this gentleman who said he wanted to buy an empty bucket with the money for a large popcorn."

The waiter sighed in embarrassment: "He said the popcorn in the cinema is not delicious and healthy, so he brought it himself. But..."

"But the cinema has a rule that no snacks are allowed to be brought in, so this is the only way."

Yuji shook the arm that Anna was holding, and after the cat was released, he lifted a yellow bag in front of the children.

Perhaps because he wanted to protect his dignity, the boy turned the side with the dog pattern and the words "dog food" away from everyone, and skillfully took out a container from the packaging tape and filled the empty large popcorn bucket.

"Would you like some?"

"Can you!" Mitsuhiko took a popcorn from the bucket and put it in his mouth. He felt that the taste was a bit strange, so he refused Yuji's kindness to give them a bucket.

He put the money of several people on the counter, asked the waiter for five cups of Coke and three servings of popcorn, and then noticed that there was no space around him.

"It's so strange?" Genta scratched his face and pulled the sleeves of Yuzuki and Kaori in confusion: "We don't seem to have seen this big sister with twin ponytails."

[Is it because of her that Xiao Ai is so scared? ]

Ayumi looked at the girl who was hugging her and trembling constantly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

[Little Ai who is trembling with fear seems to be very cute…]

“That’s true, could it be!” Mitsuhiko shouted: “Like the plot on TV, the sky fell and defeated Ome, so sister Yuzuki and sister Kaori became losers?!”

“Lose… losers?!” x3

Except Anna, Yuji and the other two opened their mouths wide.

“How pitiful…” Ayumi’s eyes suddenly turned red: “Will sister Yuzuki and sister Kaori run crying in the heavy rain…”

[No, we won’t do that. Ayumi-chan, are the TV shows you usually watch weird…]

“This…she is…that…”

[What should I say, could I tell them that this girl is Anna in disguise…]

Unable to comfort them, seeing that the three children were about to cry for themselves, the girls rolled their eyes in despair.

[Someone come to save us.]

“How can you four students bully children!”

The question from the side interrupted Yuji who was about to explain to the four little ones, and also attracted the children’s attention.

"Officer Shiratori!" x8

"Kudo-kun! And you guys!" Officer Shiratori was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled embarrassedly: "I thought there were senior students bullying the kids."

After saying that, Shiratori turned around and planned to walk towards the door of the cinema. From the back, he seemed a little flustered.

"Officer Shiratori, didn't you come to watch a movie?" Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, Genta took the popcorn and Coke, and called Officer Shiratori to stop in surprise.

"No, I'm..."

Mitsuhiko also doubted: "You've come so deep into the cinema?"

"It's work, work..."

Finding that the cat girl seemed to be no different from ordinary people, Xiao Ai let go of her hand in the regretful expression of Ayumi and returned to her original cold look.

She hid from Anna and said behind Kaori: "You wouldn't treat us as plague gods like Officer Matsuda."

[Guessed! 】

"Stare..." x4

"I know! I'll go to the movies with you! Please don't look at me like a criminal!"

Pulling out his wallet from his inner pocket, Officer Shiratori held up the banknotes: "Please give me a popcorn set, too."

………

Watching the number of votes for the new Godzilla on the voting machine gradually decrease, Conan anxiously waited for the four people to come back.

Originally, he was planning to buy four tickets directly, but when he took out his wallet, he found that the pocket money Xiaolan gave him this month had been used to buy mystery novels, and he couldn't afford four movie tickets, so he had to wait for the children to come back and choose together.

【It would be great if Yuuji was here, so he could ask him for money directly. 】

"Conan! We're back!"

"So slow! How come it's only now..." The blue suited elementary school student turned around and saw a few kids, his younger brother surrounded by beautiful girls, and...

"Officer Shiratori?"

Waving and greeting Conan, Officer Shiratori asked while pointing at the machine: "What movie are you going to watch? I'll buy a ticket for one hall."

"Wait, Conan, why didn't you buy a ticket?" Yuantai noticed the guy with glasses with empty hands.

[No! If they knew that I didn't buy a ticket because I didn't have enough money, I would definitely be laughed at. At this point, I can only...]

"Edogawa III - The Magic of Despair" Pointing to the huge poster on the wall, Conan ran to the blue suited dog, seemingly showing off his own suit of the same style.

"Eh?! Isn't it the new Godzilla?" Mitsuhiko held a Coke and said, "Conan, didn't you say that Edogawa III is a bad movie and can be watched anytime?"

Conan realized that his brother's eyes suddenly had murderous intent, and pretended to be excited and cute and said, "How could I say such a thing? Edogawa III is the work of Brother Yuji."

[How shameless...]

This is what Xiao Ai and the other three are really thinking at the moment. If they are given another chance, they will never invite this guy to watch a movie.

"What a compliment, take it as a reward!" Yuji staggered into the ticket machine, casually threw the popcorn bucket in his hand to Conan, and then bought everyone's tickets.

"What is this?" The elementary school student grabbed a handful of brown particles with his hand and sniffed it under his nose: "It still tastes like barbecue. Has the cinema changed new snacks?"

After that, Conan stuffed a handful of dog food into his mouth, chewed it, and gave a thumbs up to Mitsuhiko and the others: "It tastes great, what is it called?"

"I don't know, but Conan, don't you think it tastes a bit strange?" Mitsuhiko hugged the popcorn and shook his head: "I ate a little just now, and I always feel like I have seen this thing somewhere."

[When was it? 】

"Compared to this, I want to know who that sister is?" Ayumi took Ai's hand and poked Conan, asking him to look at the girl with twin ponytails: "Conan, you have the best relationship with brother Yuji, do you know who she is?"

Conan showed a surprised expression, and was just doubting at the moment: "Impossible, he was with us in Gunma Prefecture yesterday, when did he meet such a beautiful girl again?"

Kudo Shinichi silently discovered that he was the only one in the Kudo family who was not that charming. Compared with him, Yuji was simply a combination of his father and mother.

"Sister Kaori, the bag in your hand is about to fall." Mitsuhiko handed the popcorn to Genta and helped Kaori lift a white plastic bag, but accidentally revealed the yellow dog food inside.

[The brown cookies on the cover look so familiar...]
