Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 14 Uneasy Night

"I want 10 doll-shaped cakes, limited to summer." Yukio Tanaka placed a thousand-yen bill on the glass counter.

The saleswoman took the bill and put the change on a metal plate: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Teacher Tanaka breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he listened to Suzuki's reminder, otherwise he would have to wait in line for who knows how long.

This store is really popular, and the queue has already stretched to the doors of other stores.

It’s not that Mr. Tanaka hates waiting in line, in fact he is very patient.

But if I get home too late, I will have less time to play with my daughter.

This was unacceptable to Yukio, who thoroughly enjoyed spending an evening with his daughter after a hard day's work.

The waiting process was a bit boring, so Teacher Tanaka began to observe his surroundings aimlessly.

When was the last time I was in this shopping street? It must have been a few months.

There are a few new shops here, and their signs are of a new style that is completely different from other shops.

The skirts of girls on the street seem to be getting shorter and shorter, and the brave ones even walk on the street in small vests that expose their belly buttons.

To be honest, Mr. Tanaka found it difficult to accept this kind of trendy thing, just like he didn't know why seasonal snacks were so popular among girls.

Maybe I'm really getting old, he thought to himself.

"Your doll is ready." The clerk handed over a white plastic bag with a cute snowman pattern on it.

Mr. Tanaka took the bag and turned to walk towards the station.

But he suddenly saw a familiar fat figure on the street not far away. The other person was holding a bag of things and ran into the alley across the street.

He recognized the man as a student from Teitan High School, one of the people who often hung out with Yuta Manaka.

Looking at his shifty look, is he helping the underworld do something shameful?
However, Mr. Tanaka hesitated for a moment and chose not to interfere.

He had seen too many students like this. They would eventually become criminals and then die quietly in a gunfight one day in the future.

Teacher Tanaka pretended not to see it and stood at the roadside station waiting for the bus.

But not long after, he saw another familiar figure.

Haruhiko Takasaka.

He actually walked towards that alley.

Teacher Tanaka was getting a little restless. Although he didn't like his student Haruhiko before, this kid's kendo skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently. He was also counting on Haruhiko to play a role in helping the kendo club in the upcoming kendo tournament.

What's more, Mr. Tanaka will try his best to help those students who want to work hard to improve themselves.

So Mr. Tanaka walked to the zebra crossing with the bag in his hand, ready to chase after it and take a look.

Just then, a girl's voice came from behind.

"Teacher Tanaka?"

Yukio Tanaka turned around and saw his kendo club student, Suzuki Sonoko.

"Teacher, did you buy it?"

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me." Teacher Tanaka smiled and said, "By the way, weren't you the first one to leave? Why are you here only now?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked depressed: "My homeroom teacher caught me and gave me a lecture for a long time."

"Is that so?" Teacher Tanaka smiled.

Suzuki Sonoko: "Teacher, are you waiting for the bus here?"

"No, I just happened to see a friend and was about to go look for him."

"Oh, goodbye, teacher. I'm going to line up now." Sonoko said as she backed away.

The traffic light just turned green at this time, and Teacher Tanaka walked towards the dark alley across the street.

...

Although Suzuki Sonoko had heard that this place was very popular, she never imagined that there would be so many people and the line even stretched to several shops away.

However, Suzuki Sonoko still chose to queue up obediently.

In fact, she could just ask the servants to come and buy them, or if necessary, she could even invite the pastry chef to her house to make her favorite "Miss Sonoko Limited Edition" dumplings.

But that would be tasteless. Only seasonal snacks that you queue up for yourself can have that unique flavor.

She was bored while waiting in line, so she took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Xiaolan to ask her how she was doing.

Xiaolan replied that her parents were arguing and she was trying to mediate.

Yuanzi responded with a crying face.

So I didn't bother Xiaolan anymore.

Just then, a somewhat frivolous voice came from behind.

"That was Manaka Yuta just now, right?"

Sonoko turned her head and found that they were two girls from her class. They were both dressed like standard hot girls, with skirts so short that a slight breeze would reveal indescribable objects.

One of the long-haired girls said: "It's definitely him. I don't know how he became like this. I heard he shaved his head."

The short-haired hottie said, "Wouldn't that make it even uglier?"

"Eh? Didn't he pursue you?"

"Don't mention it, it's wishful thinking. If he didn't have some money, who would play with him?" The girl with short hair looked disgusted.

Sonoko listened to the two hot girls chatting and ignored them.

But the next sentence drew her attention back.

Long-haired hot girl: "The one who went over last was Kosaka-kun from the Kendo Club, right? Is he going to give money again?"

Short-haired hot girl: "I don't think so. Kosaka-kun has changed a lot recently. I heard that his kendo skills have improved a lot."

Long-haired hottie: "How did you know?"

The short-haired hottie put her finger to her lips: "Gossip."

Suzuki Sonoko was puzzled, why was Kousaka Haruhiko involved with that group of people again?

She couldn't help but call out to the two hot girls: "Hey, did you say you saw Kosaka-kun and Manaka Yuta together?"

The two hot girls were stunned, and then realized that it was the rich lady in the class.

"Yeah, he went to the alley across the street." The hot girl pointed at the dark alley across the street.

Suzuki Sonoko had a bad feeling in her heart.

After confirming the direction with the two hot girls, she gave up queuing and walked across the street.

The two looked at Yuanzi's departing back, feeling a little confused.

Long-haired hottie: "Is this the cross-class love between a young lady and a stay-at-home otaku?"

Short-haired hot girl: "It's possible, but how did Kosaka-kun attract the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family?"

"Maybe he's really good in some aspects." The long-haired hot girl said with a wicked smile.

"really?"

Long-haired hot girl: "Yeah, do you want to try it?"

"Eh? Can I already compete with the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group for men? I'm really excited just thinking about it." The short-haired hot girl covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, "But I already have a senior in the Kendo Club."

"You two can come together."

"Oh, that's disgusting. How can I bear it?" The short-haired hot girl cursed with a smile, but there was no shy expression on her face.

The two of them walked arm in arm and disappeared into the crowd.

At this time, the last ray of sunset disappeared.

The waiter at the izakaya across the street hung lanterns in front of the store. The orange lanterns gave people a warm feeling in the night.

It also means that the uneasy night has officially arrived.
