Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 118 Because...

morning.

in the coffee shop.

Today's coffee shop is as quiet as ever.

Sonoko Suzuki left long ago.

Originally, she wanted to ask Qingming for an explanation, but in the end she gave up, maybe because she felt that she couldn't make Qingming subdue, or maybe it was not a big deal for her.

It goes without saying.

Because there were no guests, Azusa Enomoto stayed in the kitchen, researching and making some new cakes, although it was just matching different fruits and putting them in different shapes.

Qingming doesn't care about these.

He was just flipping through the novel, and he was very curious about what the uncle protagonist in the novel would do, because the brain circuit of the uncle protagonist seemed to be different from that of ordinary people.

about ten o'clock.

A customer came to the coffee shop, a little girl.

"Oni sauce, Oni sauce."

Every time I call it that way, it sounds like there is sugar in my mouth, and it sounds sweet.

Ching Ming likes it.

Put down the novel and look up.

There is only one person who will call him that, and that is Ayumi.

"Little girl, come here."

Qingming waved to her.

Sometimes he would call her Ayumi directly, but more often, he just used "little girl" instead.

Ayumi came with her schoolbag on her back.

Going around to Qingming, took off the schoolbag, put it aside, then climbed into Qingming's arms, and sat on his lap facing each other.

With a lovely smile on his face.

"Why do you have to go to school today?"

Qingming looked at the small schoolbag on the side.

It's obviously a rest day, what do you do with a small schoolbag on your back?
"I have to go to school tomorrow. I'll be staying with Oni-chan, Oni-chan tonight. I can go to school with Huiyuan tomorrow."

the little girl replied.

There is a room in the manor that belongs to her, and she can live in it at any time.

"Mom and Dad have agreed."

she added.

To this, Qingming just nodded understandingly.

To be honest, it was a bit beyond his expectation that Ayumi would come here and plan to live in the manor.

After all it was licked on her face that day.

He thought it would scare Ayumi so that she would not dare to come here in the future.

But here she is.

Not only did she come, she also wanted to spend the night at the manor, and her parents agreed.

From this point of view, not only did she not care about what happened that day, but she probably didn't tell her parents about it, otherwise her parents would not agree.

No one would let their daughter sleep over at the house of a suspected (beep~)children(beep~) fetish.

Since they agreed, it was because they didn't know.

The reason why they don't know is because Ayumi didn't tell them.

Saying so...

Qingming stared at the little girl.

Maybe if you do this or that to her, you don't have to worry about her telling others?

Little girl, I really don't know the sinister heart.

"Oni sauce, Oni sauce."

"Ok?"

"Why didn't you see Hui Yuan? You didn't see her out to play with her yesterday."

"Um……"

That girl probably isn't in the mood to play these days.

But I can't tell Ayumi about the specific things, and she probably doesn't understand...

Etc., etc.

Qingming suddenly felt something was wrong.

Maybe Ayumi doesn't understand, or she may already understand this aspect, at least she will have related concepts.

Otherwise, she should have told her parents about Qingming licking her face.

Since she didn't say anything, it means that she realizes that that kind of behavior is wrong, it will make her parents have opinions on Qingming, get angry, etc., and she will be forbidden to come to Qingming again, let alone allow her to be in the manor. Overnight.

Yes, she understood.

Today's children really can't be underestimated.

Qingming secretly sighed.

"It is estimated that she will be depressed these days and will not want to do anything, so she cannot play with you."

"Eh? Why?"

Ayumi opened her eyes wide, looking at Qingming suspiciously.

"Did something happen?"

"How do you say this..."

……

(violating content, deletion...)
……

"Oni-chan, Oni-chan, then...you can't touch casually, and, also...you can't just lick other people's faces."

This she still remembers.

She did not tell her parents. Although she didn't understand it very well, she didn't understand everything.

So I know, if I really tell my parents, my parents probably won't allow her to come to Qingming, the "Oni sauce, Oni sauce" in the future.

She still likes Qingming very much, and doesn't mind getting close to Qingming.

Qingming is also relatively close to her.

Hearing what she said, he leaned directly in front of her again.

"Do you hate that?"

"It's also not that I hate it."

The little girl shook her head.

It's not a question of whether you like it or not, and she doesn't find it annoying, she just knows that such things can't be done casually.

Qingming looked at her and blinked.

Immediately, it seemed that he planned to say something, and even planned to do something.

But Azusa Enomoto came out from behind.

"Huh? Ayumi is here."

He walked over with a smile on his face, holding a cake on a tray in his hand.

Go to the counter and place the cake on the table.

"It just so happened that I tried a new fruit combination, and I wanted the shopkeeper to try it, but it really is better to give in to Ayumi."

"Hi!"

Ayumi smiled.

Turning around, with his back to Qingming, he pulled the cake in front of him, and started to taste it with a fork.

Qingming picked up the novel on the side and continued to enjoy it.

As for Enomoto Azusa, she seemed to be a little curious looking at Ayumi, then at Qingming.

"What were you two talking about just now?"

"It's nothing."

Both shook their heads.

Then they looked at each other and smiled again.

Then continue to do your own thing.

I don't understand.

Azusa Enomoto couldn't figure out what was going on between these two people at all, and suddenly they seemed to have a tacit understanding, more tacit understanding than ever before.

Could there be some secret between the two of them that brought them closer to each other?
Look at Qingming, then look at Ayumi.

But in the end, I still couldn't see anything, so I had to give up.

"Ayumi, remember to tell me if there is anything I need to improve after eating."

"Hi!"

Ayumi responded.

Azusa Enomoto didn't say much.

There were no guests, so I simply went back to the kitchen at the back to continue my research.

In addition to cakes, there is also study coffee.

She also wants to make a magical coffee like Qingming.

Of course, it can't be as bad as Mengpotang coffee, it needs to be delicious and can be sold in large quantities. Only in this way can the poor turnover of Naiheqiao coffee shop be saved.

"Only the shopkeeper doesn't care about the turnover of his coffee shop at all!"

Shaking his head helplessly.

Then continue to work hard and hard.
