Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Why are you here so late?"

Wearing a one-piece Shiba Inu suit, Jin Yuanguang rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the door to the mother and son who came to catch the autumn wind late at night, and then waved his hands like he was chasing away garbage.

"Go! Go!"

Ignoring him, Chris touched her feet, took off her shoes at the entrance and walked straight to the living room. According to Ye Nai's habit, she opened the clock on the wall and took out a bottle of rum.

"To put alcohol in a place like this, the teacher is really an alcoholic."

Taking the bottle of aged rum from Belmod's hand, Yuji was about to open it, but suddenly he heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him, so he turned to the left and avoided the fluffy slippers that were throwing hidden weapons.

"You brat! Don't touch this bottle of wine!"

After snatching the rum back from Yuji, Mr. Kuromaru carefully put the wine back behind the clock and rolled his eyes at Belmode.

"Miss Chris, you clearly know that the teacher won't open this bottle of wine, why did you take it out?"

The boy stared at the clock longingly, not because he was greedy, but because the bottle of wine was indeed very expensive, at least... higher than the additional income he earned from comics in a day.

"I'm also greedy..."

Standing next to Yuji, Bermod also stared at the clock longingly. The two people looked at him and made him feel itchy. Teacher Kuromaru shuddered and took out a box of wine with Chinese characters written on it from the wine cabinet and threw it to them.

"This is... Feitian Moutai!"

"Ah... that Aberdeen gave it to Rum when he came here. The one-eyed man gave it to me."

Teacher Kuromaru sat cross-legged on the sofa, turned on the TV, and saw the program on the Nippon TV channel. He was about to change the channel, but Yuji held his hand down.

"Teacher was watching the live broadcast from Tokyo Tower just now. How was it?"

Throwing away the remote control, Teacher Kuromaru heard the sound of stove igniting and yawning coming from the kitchen, and became even more unhappy with the two people who ran over.

"Why does my valet have to cook you drinks and food so late?!"

"Hey, do you feel bad?" Yuji sat next to the teacher and bumped the teacher's waist with his elbow: "Don't you see, teacher, you still have such a feminine side."

He raised his head slightly and found that Chris was standing a little far away from him, so he tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter, Miss Chris?"

"Do not…"

Because of his arrogance, the teacher knocked him to the ground and became a cushion, unable to stand up. The boy could only watch Belmod and the teacher sitting next to the sofa, drinking wine and eating freshly cooked food. A comedian who plays dumb on TV.

"I also ordered takeout. It should be here soon. Teacher, just let me get up and take a bite..."

Feeling Mr. Kuromaru's butt leave his back, Yuji sat down obediently, his eyes glancing at Bermod's wine glass from time to time.

"Underage people are not allowed to drink, especially those with such a high degree!"

A chopstick hit Yuji on the head. Teacher Kuromaru handed over a pair of wooden chopsticks, then picked up a piece of cold shiitake mushroom and turned to look at Bermod.

"Speaking of which, why is this brat's biological mother back?"

"I heard from Yukiko that she just plans to travel to England and come back to see her son once in the middle."

Putting down the chopsticks in her hands, Chris recalled what Yukiko said at the Overlook Hotel: "Their flight tomorrow morning will go straight to London."

"That's it, then it'll be fine." Teacher Kuromaru rubbed his nose and glanced at the students with regret: "I thought they were planning to bring this scourge to the United States."

"You seemed to have said something very outrageous just now, teacher!" Yuji pointed at his face: "How do I look like a disaster?"

The three people in the room were silent.

"Don't be silent!"

.........

In Mihua Shopping Street, AE86 slowly stopped in front of the tofu shop and opened the door. Fujiwara looked at Sayuri Matsumoto who was waiting at the door with a worried face and said nothing. He nodded, then walked directly around the woman and walked into the house. "Your father has been sent to the police."

Picking up the barley tea on the table, Fujiwara saw Matsumoto Kiyonaga on the TV and found Sayuri Matsumoto still standing at the door, so he made a suggestion.

"Should I send you back home? Those dangerous people are all dead now, so nothing will happen to me."

[And since this woman’s father has returned, there should be no reason for her to stay here anymore. 】

"Eh?!"

Sayuri Matsumoto subconsciously shouted out, realizing that she seemed to have exposed her heart. She quickly lowered her head, not wanting Kojiro Fujiwara to see her red face.

"I don't want to drive you away. Look, I have a first floor where I do business. The second floor, apart from the living room and bathroom, only has one bedroom."

Fujiwara explained: "Besides, if men and women live together, it's not good for girls' reputation."

[Wait a minute, there seems to be a case of living with many girls around me! 】

"that…"

Seeing that Fujiwara became more and more confident as he spoke, Sayuri Matsumoto hurriedly interrupted him.

"I still want to stay here... My house at home was burned down, and I asked for half a year's leave from school. I have no income for the time being. It might be a little difficult to rent a house..."

When I rescued Matsumoto Kiyonaga, there were many pinholes in his body. He was injected with a lot of veritaserum and a lot of anesthetics. He could only wake up at two specific times, lunch and dinner. He used tape from a convenience store to stick on the unicorn. He sent a cry for help on his back, and he will probably stay in the hospital for two to three months for observation and protection.

"I understand, then you can sleep in the room upstairs. In return, you can help me occasionally (referring to selling tofu)."

Noticing a heat wave coming from Sayuri Matsumoto's side, Fujiwara put down his tea cup in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"No...Ojiro-kun, I think this is a bit...too fast..."

Fujiwara didn't hear the last few words clearly, but thought that Sayuri Matsumoto was a little dissatisfied that the room was too small and selling tofu was embarrassing, so he coughed twice in dissatisfaction.

"If you don't want to, I will give you a sum of money, and you should rent a house to live in. If you pay me back later, it will be settled." He was still a little disappointed.

[I originally thought that Matsumoto Kiyonaga’s daughter would not be like an ordinary woman, but it turns out there is no difference...]

On the opposite side, the villain in her heart kept fighting. After the yellow side defeated the white one, and then raised her fist like a boxer, Sayuri Matsumoto closed her eyes, bowed suddenly and shouted.

"I know! Kojiro-kun, even though it's my first time, I will definitely try my best."

"the first time?"

[Is this your first time selling something?Didn't her class perform in dramas during school festivals before? 】

Fujiwara looked up and down and realized that he had just misunderstood her. It turned out that he was just uneasy about staying at a stranger's house.

[Really, after that explosion, my brain is not as bright as before...]

Patting his head, Fujiwara Kojiro comforted her: "It's okay. Soon we will become familiar with each other, and you won't be nervous or scared anymore."

"...Hi~"

After the mosquito screamed, Sayuri Matsumoto walked to the tofu money box and drew two Yukichi Fukuzawa from it in front of Kojiro Fujiwara.

"You are this?"

Holding the door tremblingly, Sayuri Matsumoto suppressed her shame and rushed out with the words "I think no matter what, protective measures must be taken...".

Seeing Sayuri Matsumoto's disappearing back, Fujiwara stood up suddenly and ran to the door in a panic.

"Wait! Did you misunderstand something?" (End of this chapter)
