Gin doesn't want to work hard

Conan has serious doubts about whether Kurosawa can handle the situation.

To avoid troubling Kurosawa, Conan dragged him along as well.

On the outermost table.

Masahiko Michiwaki is recounting his story.

Ran Mouri was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was a student at Beika University.

"Then you're my dad's junior from school!"

"My dad also graduated from Miho University."

"Oh? What a coincidence, haha!"

Michiwaki Masahiko chuckled twice.

Nothing more was said.

His attention was mostly focused on Sonoko Suzuki.

When Sonoko asked him "Why did you come here?", he looked directly at her and said something that sounded like a confession.

"My girlfriend dumped me, so I wanted to come to the beach to relax."

"But just when I was feeling lost, I saw you!"

"Like a beautiful angel, perhaps you are the goddess who will save me!"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki felt her blood rush to her head and her face turned bright red.

Michiwaki Masahiko smiled slightly, and just as he was about to continue, a glass of beer was slammed onto his table, interrupting his unspoken words.

Michiwaki Masahiko turned around and looked back with some surprise.

He was a boy with dark skin who wore glasses.

He was wearing an apron and appeared to be a waiter at the store.

The waiter, Makoto Kyogoku, was rather curt.

"These are the draft beers you ordered."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

But after taking only a couple of steps, he stopped and turned to look at the cigarette that Masahiko Michiwaki had lit.

"Sir, please do not leave your cigarette ash on the floor."

"It will be very inconvenient to clean like this."

Makoto Kyogoku makes no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction with Masahiko Michiwaki.

Before approaching Sonoko, Masahiko Michiwaki had already approached two or three girls.

Kyogoku Makoto knew he was no good.

But he, who was usually quiet and reserved, was not good at exposing other people's lies.

In addition, Masahiko Michiwaki's smooth talk and skillful maneuvering completely won over Sonoko Suzuki.

Kyogoku Makoto couldn't just call the other person a fraud right away.

The only opportunity to tease the other party was when the food was served.

As Michiwaki Masahiko watched Kyogoku Makoto's departing figure, he put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and stubbed it out.

Michiwaki Masahiko, who didn't know what he had done to offend Kyogoku Makoto, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"This shop assistant has a really bad attitude."

Ran Mouri, standing to the side, felt that Makoto Kyogoku looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

After she voiced her doubts, Sonoko Suzuki dismissed them.

"He is the owner of the Wawu Inn where we stayed."

"They said they came back to help out because it was summer vacation."

"That's it."

Ran Mouri understood, then asked with some confusion.

"But Sonoko, how do you know all this?"

"Because he kept staring at us yesterday!"

"I went and asked about it."

Sonoko Suzuki looked somewhat speechless.

Sonoko, who already found Kyogoku Makoto somewhat strange, now had an even worse impression of him.

Masahiko Michiwaki, who was standing nearby, caught the key information.

He feigned surprise.

"So you're staying at the Wawu Hotel!"

“I live nearby.”

"How about I take you to a famous restaurant by the sea for dinner tonight?"

"I can drive to pick you up."

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki was pleasantly surprised.

"really?"

Masahiko Michiwaki smiled and nodded.

"of course it's true."

Then, he casually mentioned it again.

"By the way, I heard the scenery there is quite beautiful."

"It would be even better if I could bring my camera and take some photos."

At this point, Masahiko Michiwaki seemed to remember something.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

"You said before that you ran out of film in your camera, right?"

"If you don't mind, I have some film on me."

"You can come back with me to get it."

"Camera film..."

Sonoko Suzuki also remembered this.

However, she rejected Masahiko Michiwaki's proposal.

"I think I'd better not trouble you."

"I plan to develop the photos this afternoon."

"I can just buy some more film at the photo developing shop later."

Upon hearing Sonoko Suzuki's words, a dark glint flashed in Masahiko Michiwaki's eyes.

But he quickly resumed his smiling expression.

Sonoko Suzuki didn't notice this.

She thought of the photos she had taken.

"Speaking of photos, I've been taking pictures of Kurosawa-san these past two days!"

Sonoko Suzuki looked at Kurosawa, who was propping his head up and tilting his head to look outside.

"I'll pick two to keep once the photos are developed."

"How about I give you the rest, Kurosawa-nii?"

"I can give you the negatives too."

Upon hearing this, Kurosawa turned his head.

To be honest, Sonoko Suzuki has been taking pictures of him everywhere these past two days.

He's almost become immune to cameras now.

The slight discomfort she had in front of the camera had almost completely disappeared.

Of course, he still has the necessary sensitivity, it's just that you can't see his aversion to the camera.

However, this is also a good thing, at least he can better disguise himself as an ordinary person.

"It will be all right."

Kurosawa nodded to Sonoko Suzuki.

He indicated that he didn't mind.

Almost the instant he nodded, Kurosawa sensed the malice emanating from Michiwaki Masahiko.

Kurosawa glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Sonoko Suzuki was quite pleased with this.

"Then it's settled!"

She was almost impatient to see the photos.

After all, she personally selected the best angles for each photo.

It will definitely show the best results!

Seeing that Sonoko Suzuki planned to develop the photos that afternoon.

Masahiko Michiwaki decides to change his plans.

he suggested.

"If you want to get the photos developed."
