Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"I haven't been here for about a month, and you've already made the office look like this?"

After walking into the chief's office with two boxes in his arms, Yuji looked at the kitchen table and chopping board next to the tatami, and was speechless at Minami Masamune, who was wrapped in a housewife's robe.

In the great chief's office, what is placed in the center is not a map or a booklet of unsolved cases, but a refrigerator with a makeshift kitchen next to it.

"I got up early in the morning to make breakfast for you!"

The old man was very dissatisfied with Yuji's complaints, but he raised his eyebrows when he saw the box handed over by the boy.

"Well, I guessed it, so I specially brought a gift for grandpa."

Opening the box above, he found a pair of expensive calligraphy and paintings, which were just right for Minami Masamune's taste. He wiped his hands on his kitchen clothes, carried the box and walked to his desk, admiring it carefully.

"Really, don't walk away halfway through cooking."

Yuji put another box on the coffee table, walked to the pot, opened the lid, looked at the stewed soy fish inside, and discovered the pickles in the small plate on the table and the miso soup cooked in another pot.

It’s really quite Japanese cuisine. The Japanese don’t have steamed buns for breakfast like the Chinese do. There’s not much difference between breakfast and lunch. At most, lunch is more sumptuous.

If you don't eat Western-style food, stew, white rice and miso soup are common breakfasts in many families. Of course, the Kudo family never eats like this.

"This stew...is very similar to what I ate in Kyoto."

"Of course, this is what Gibbon sent someone to bring over after he finished it."

That sharp aunt, she should be taking care of the South House in Kyoto with the housekeeper now. Yuji scooped up a piece of Chikuzen-dashi with a spoon and carefully observed the ingredients inside.

"You can eat it with confidence. Yoshimoto guessed that you wanted to eat it too, so he replaced the original chicken with beef."

After putting away the calligraphy and paintings with satisfaction, Minami Masamune put the box into the cabinet behind him and asked Yuji to put the food into the utensils.

"Seven servings in total? Do so many people want to eat?"

The young man calculated in his mind: "Both Kaori and uncle are coming?"

"It's rare for a family to eat together. Although the place where we eat is not very good, recently I don't want to go home, so I have to let them come over to eat."

Minami Masamune's temporary residence in Tokyo is larger than the Kudo family, but it is definitely not as good as the old house in Kyoto. Now that his son and daughter-in-law live there, he is not willing to go there, lest he bump into something bad again in the reception room.

"So I asked Dequan to convert the office next door into a room, and now I sleep directly there."

"Oh!" Yuji stopped holding the dish, turned his head and blinked: "Then you also changed my office?"

Since the incident in the office, the boy almost no longer goes to the top floor of the police station building. Among other things, he always feels a little heartache when he sees the big office that used to belong to him.

"Your office? Oh! You mean the original toilet!" Nan Zhengzong suddenly realized.

"I changed it back to the toilet."

Mr. Kudo lowered the raised corners of his mouth again. He continued to serve the dishes silently, not wanting to pay attention to the old man anymore.

The grandfather and grandson didn't wait long. The family of three arrived at the door of the office. They noticed the old man dressed as a cook. The three of them tacitly closed their mouths and looked at the table.

[As expected...it's a pre-made stew. 】

Minami Kazuma was wearing a blue plaid kimono. From the smell in the air, he knew it was Aunt Yoshimoto's Chikuzen-style cooking. He must have eaten too much. Yuji rarely noticed a look of disgust on Kaori's father's face, but he was very disappointed. It was quickly hidden.

"There are two more people. We are all at home. Let's take a seat first."

Minami Masamune forcefully pulled off the kitchen clothes covering his kimono, and took the initiative to take the lead and sit at the head seat of the short long table on the tatami, waiting for the others to sit down on both sides.

The side closest to the door was the lower seat. Yuji glanced at the old man and sat cross-legged at the front of the lower seat, while Kaori knelt down directly beside him.

It is impossible for the two juniors to sit in the upper seat. Even if the old man loves them no matter how much he loves them, the rules must not be messed up. The young man can sit in the upper seat in Nan's house. Except for the first time he comes to visit, it is probably impossible for him in the future.

Opposite to them, Nan and Kazumo chose to sit in the second seat instead of the seat next to their father, and Minami Yuriko sat in the third seat. As long as Tokusen would dine with them, Nan and Zhen would let him sit on their own. Take your seat.

"If there are two seats left, it should be that child."

Looking at the old man who was stirring the natto, Nan Hezhen put his hands on his knees: "Father, you didn't really call us here just for eating, did you?"

"Well, of course not."

Covering the new rice with natto, Minami Masamune stirred it up with chopsticks: "Just checking your recent itinerary."

Looking at each other with his wife, Nan Hezhen said softly: "We are going to Changzhou, China. There was an art exhibition recently."

"how long?"

"About twenty days."

"Remember to take a plane directly to Tokyo when you come back and don't run around."

Nodding, Minami Masamune ignored his son and daughter-in-law and looked at Yuji and Kaori. He hadn't asked them just now. This kid would definitely not be able to fool him in this situation.

"There is a national kendo competition in Hokkaido." Yuji turned around and faced Minami Masamune: "Senior Hattori is going to participate, so Miss Ran, Conan, me, Yuzuki and Kaori are going to cheer him on."

"Oh, the National Kendo Tournament..." Minami Masamune lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his hand and pointed at Yuji and asked, "Is it the one in Hakodate?"

"Well, no one else is going, only the five of us, plus Uncle Mori."

Minami Masamune looked interested: "If I were a few decades younger, I would also go to participate once."

"You should go to the Japanese painting competition. Kendo and other things will hurt your painting hands."

Minami Masamune snorted and flicked Yuji's forehead hard: "If you go, enjoy the competition. There are many messy people in Hakodate recently."

Knowing that Kaikata Gakuen in Osaka was going to participate in the National Kendo Tournament, Minami Masamune had already guessed that this kid would probably go, and secretly prepared bodyguards in advance.

"It's better for the three of you to go, and the two girls shouldn't go. Miss Mori, there should be no need to worry..."

[So there is something wrong with Hakodate, right...]

While the two were talking, Tokuizumi, who took Rize and Miyanoshita upstairs, had already entered the office after knocking on the door.

"Hmm?"

The people at the table saw the two children following Rize, and Minami Masamune's eyes narrowed again in Tokuizumi's cold sweat.

"Oh~"

[Why did you bring these two people here? ]

After getting the test report, they checked the doctor who did the test. Minami Masamune and Tokuizumi naturally knew that these two people were not real children.

"Well, since there are guests, let's sit down and have breakfast first."

Rize saw Kaori who greeted her, and sat down next to her mother obediently, while Tokuizumi walked to the old man nervously. For the sake of the guests, the people sitting in the upper seats moved back a position, so that the Miyanoshitas sat next to Minami Masamune.

"So you can go back."

The moment the office door was closed, the Minami couple who were kicked out also had a rumbling stomach. (End of this chapter)
