Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

2 Response
"Wow~! It's so beautiful, as expected of the work of Ishino-san, known as the 'Dessert Magician'!"

"If one day I can make such exquisite dessert art, then I really have no regrets in this life!"

"I'm meeting you for the first time. My name is Kasaka Natsumi. I'm a pastry chef who came to France from Japan to study dessert making. I'm your fan. Please give me your advice!"

Seeing the beautiful girl with starry eyes shining in front of her, full of admiration for herself, and introducing herself excitedly, Ishino couldn't help but overlap her with the figure deep in her memory.

That's right, she is the owner of the two "memory eggs" that she tried to imitate and make.

……

Three days ago, Ishino came to Paris from Japan by plane, and after arriving here, the first thing to do was to prepare for the upcoming dessert art fair in three days.

As part of the learning exchange, Ishino, who is also well-known in France, was invited to make a sugar sculpture for exhibition and for other pastry chefs participating in the exhibition to observe and learn.

Considering that the work should best conform to European aesthetics, Ishino recalled the last sugar sculpture he made before time travel—the Egg of Memories.

The former self, although he tried his best to roughly restore the egg of memory, but with the strength at that time, he only got the shape, but not the spirit.

And now, it's time for me to try to challenge it again.

……

On the day of the exhibition, Ishino's "Egg of Memories 2.0" sugar sculpture was successfully launched. As the core exhibit of the exhibition, it was displayed in the central area of ​​the venue.

Many tourists and pastry chefs who came to observe and study were deeply attracted by this ingenious sugar sculpture, and stopped to observe carefully.Some well-informed people, through the appearance and name of the work, recognized that it was a sugar sculpture based on the royal secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty, the "Egg of Memory".

However, the style of this work seems to be different from the appearance of the 50 memory eggs that have been released, so many people speculate that this is an original work created by Ishino based on the existing memory eggs. It is worthy of being the world-famous "dessert magician".

Listening to these voices of praise, Ishino, who was watching and studying other people's works, although the expression on his face did not change, but he still felt a little sorry for the original author, Mr. Kiichi Kasaka.He thought to himself, although he borrowed the ideas and designs from it, it is right to let the old man's great works appear in front of the world in advance, so that people can get a glimpse of it.

Thinking of such a great work, half of which was treated as a broken toy by a certain nympho lady and thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes, and half of it was buried in the ground as a funeral object, Ishino really felt a little regretful that the pearl was dusty.

Just when Ishino was thinking about how to make the real eggs of memories see the light of day, a pleasant exclamation broke into his ears.

"It's Mr. Ishino's work! It's such a blessing to be able to see it at such a close distance!"

Shi Ye looked in the direction of the voice, just in time to see a graceful and sweet-looking young lady looking around excitedly, looking for something.

When the two looked at each other, the expression of the opposite girl changed from excitement to surprise in an instant, and she ran towards this side quickly.

"found it!"

……

Clearly recalling Kasaka Natsumi's identity, Ishino found that in addition to his physical ability, his memory and thinking ability have also become much stronger. This part may be due to the special bonus given to him by this world, and the other part should be attributed to Day after day of concentrated exercise.

While Kasaka Natsumi was talking to herself like a little girl, Ishino had already sorted out the information about her.After all, it is an important role in Conan's work that was last reviewed before time travel, and the impression is not insignificant.

In the animation, she doesn't seem to be such a hot-tempered character, does she?It should be that dignified and elegant, gentle and ladylike feeling.However, combined with the fact that her grandmother had just passed away in the animation, it might not be lively at that time.Of course, it is also possible that she is indeed a gentle lady, but because she loves dessert art too much, and at the same time sees her idol being too excited, her emotions are high.

"I'm Ishino, it's an honor to meet you, Miss Kasaka." Ishino politely responded to the other party's self-introduction while feeling the wonder of fate in his heart.

"I have also heard of your name. I heard from friends that Ms. Kasaka is a rising talent in the French pastry industry. It is my honor that my work is liked by you."

The friends in the story are naturally fake, but what I heard is true, even though it is from the memory of the previous life.He had just received praise for imitating his great-grandfather's works, and he appeared in front of him, and he admired him so much, so he had to say something that the other party liked to hear, didn't he?
"Where is it, you have won the prize, I am still far away..." Hearing Ishino's words, Kasaka Natsumi looked a little shy, and quickly waved her hands, "My work is not eligible to participate in this exhibition, so today I will come Here, the main purpose is to see your work!"

"I heard that you will come from Japan to participate in this exchange meeting. I have finally obtained the qualification for exchange study. Please give me more advice for the next three months!" The idol who was only able to meet, found that the real person is more handsome and handsome than the one on TV, and he also speaks nicely. While Kasaka Natsumi was happy, there was also an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, but it was still a little hazy at this time.

"Well, please give me more advice. If you have any questions you want to ask, I will know everything." Ishino thought to himself, he had imitated the other's great-grandfather's works for so long, and in turn taught him some skills. Isn't it a reward, so most of the shame in my heart will be eliminated.

"Does Mr. Ishino have a girlfriend?" As the words blurted out, Kasaka Natsumi knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly covered her mouth, but the cheeks exposed under her eyes were already red and hot, and she quickly remedied, "Ah , I just heard you say that you know everything, so I made a small joke, don’t take it seriously, it’s fine if you don’t answer!”

"It's okay, it's not something to hide, I'm currently single." Ishino was surprised that all the girls living in France were so straightforward, and answered the other party's question calmly to avoid embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry for bothering you for so long, and I even asked for your privacy. I still have to watch other works, so I'm leaving today!" Kasaka Natsumi lowered her head and said this sentence, then disappeared into the crowd as if fleeing, at the same time In my heart, I was annoyed why I suddenly said that kind of words like a bewilderment, not at all like my usual calm self, worried that I would make my idol hate me.

With an uneasy mood, Kasaka Natsumi couldn't calm down to observe and study other exhibits at all, and finally went home early to rest.However, she is very capable of self-regulation. After a nap, yesterday's embarrassment and embarrassment calmed down a lot, but thinking of attending the exchange meeting today and meeting Ishino, she felt a little uneasy again.

But when she saw Shi Ye's cold and handsome face again, she found that the other party didn't seem to care about her rudeness yesterday, and was still willing to talk to her, so she was completely relieved, but then recalled the content of the other party's answer yesterday, and gradually found it difficult to calm down ...

……

Three months may not be long, but in the world of "Ke Xue", it is definitely not short.During these three months, the two often met outside of the exchange meeting. Whenever she had free time, Kasaka Natsumi came to Ishino to learn her skills.

It was the first time for Ishino to have such a close communication and connection with a person when he came to this world. It was just an occasional visit with his colleagues at Mihua Hotel before, to share some skills and experiences, and it was rare to say a few words. Most of the time, I still stay at home and study my skills. After all, the pastry chef of Mihua Hotel is still far behind me, so I can't be an object of communication and learning.

After three months (hundreds of days) of observation, Ishino discovered that Kasaka Natsumi has a talent that is different from ordinary people in making desserts.After his careful guidance, this talented pastry chef has grown into a professional who can conduct equal discussions with himself on the understanding of dessert making.Although due to reasons such as experience and strength, the actual production is still slightly insufficient, but every time Ishino tastes the desserts made by the other party, he can fully feel the emotions integrated into the desserts, let the happiness brought by the sweetness, Reaching a new height, this is probably the unique talent of the other party.

Although Shi Ye's surname is Shi, he always has a calm and stern expression on his face, but he is not really Shi Ye.

After so many days of getting along, Ishino's feeling for Kasaka Natsumi has gradually changed from a passionate little girl to a confidante; and Kasaka Natsumi has also never regarded Ishino as an idol of worship, Gradually became the ideal other half in my heart.The relationship between the two parties is heating up day by day, but the layer of window paper has never been pierced, until the eve of the end of the exchange meeting, Kasaka Natsumi received a call from Japan.

The next day after that, Kasaka Natsumi, as usual, asked Ishino to go to a high-end restaurant with a good reputation to conduct research on the signature desserts there.

……

Ishino, who originally thought that he, as a man, should take the initiative to speak, faced Kasaka Natsumi's sudden straight ball confession, and in the next second, he quickly sorted out his true feelings and future responsibilities in his mind After reading it again, before the other party looked away because of exhaustion of courage, he responded with a gentle and magnetic voice:

"it is good."
