Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 13
The coffee shop business, as always.

Not particularly hot, not very deserted.

It seems that no one has discovered that this coffee shop is the body of the magical coffee shop in the urban legend, so no one has come to challenge the three cups of "Meng Po Soup".

Except quantum.

Quantum is still insisting on completing his task and will come every day.

It also attracted the attention of some onlookers who did not know the truth.

Then I was cheated.

After going back and forth, Quantum and Azusa Enomoto also became acquainted and became friends.

And Xiaolan.

They are all girls, so naturally they have many topics in common.

Anyway, Qingming didn't understand those girls very well, and everyone paid attention to different things.

So Qingming is still reading.

As for Enomoto Azusa's request to hire an additional waiter, she completely pretended not to hear it.

This made Azusa Enomoto very helpless.

Although Qingming would occasionally respond to her words.

"What do you need so many people for? This coffee shop belongs to the two of us."

Qingming said so.

This made Azusa Enomoto feel like she was being molested.

However, she had no choice but to face Qingming's appearance of not eating oil, salt, soft and hard.

In the end it stayed that way.

A new day, heavy rain.

Thick dark clouds hang low in the sky, and passers-by on the street are in a hurry.

Most of them were students after school. Such heavy rain made them not in the mood to play outside, and they all wanted to go back home quickly.

Xiaolan seemed to be back soon, and did not sit in the coffee shop.

Quantum still came over on time, sat in his seat, and drank hot coffee.

Mengpo soup, it seems that it will never be cold, is always bubbling.

The appearance makes people reluctant to drink it.

Even if you want to challenge it, you still resist it in your heart.

Moreover, it seems that no one has challenged it in the past few days.

But today, someone ordered "Meng Po Soup" coffee again.

It was a young girl sitting by the window, with short hair, her head resting on her left hand, her back was facing Qingming, looking at the raindrops flowing on the glass, or perhaps at the pedestrians running fast on the street.

She ordered Meng Po soup.

I don't know if I came here to challenge because I heard about the daimyo, or I was attracted by Quantum's comfortable face.

Or, is it just a habitual "have a cup of signature coffee"?
Anyway, that's what Azusa Enomoto heard.

Quickly brew the coffee and send it over.

Qingming taught her the method, which is similar to ordinary coffee, but with some extra ingredients, it becomes the notorious "Meng Po Soup" coffee.

"Your coffee."

Putting the coffee on the table, Azusa Enomoto looked at it curiously.

The girl was young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features.

However, it seemed that something bad had happened, and he just looked out of the window with a slightly melancholy expression.

He was still wearing a school uniform, so he probably came here directly after school.

And that school uniform seemed familiar.

"Please enjoy."

After saying something with a smile, Enomoto Azusa turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back.

Seemingly confirmed, he turned his gaze away and walked towards the counter.

"The owner."

"How many times have I said, I want to call you master, why don't you have the consciousness to be a maid at all?"

Looking at the clarity of the book, he put down the book in his hand.

Rubbing his eyes with his hands, he also felt tired after watching for a long time.

Azusa Enomoto didn't take his words to heart at all, anyway, it wasn't once or twice.

So just say what she wants to say.

"Shopkeeper, those are the uniforms of Didan High School."

"The uniform of Didan High School?"

Qingming stretched his neck, looked around Enomoto Azusa standing in front of him, and focused on the girl over there.

It is indeed the school uniform of Didan High School, and Xiaolan often wears it.

So very familiar.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

There are many students in Didan High School, but Qingming really doesn't know many of them.

Moreover, not going to school for so long, it is estimated that not many people know him well.

Even his classmates are the same, he is not a famous person like Kudo Shinichi, and he is basically familiar with his classmates.

He was only an international student who came here half a year ago. He might be a topical figure at first, but gradually he would be forgotten.

So Qingming didn't plan to pay attention to it at all.

But Azusa Enomoto didn't think so.

She didn't care if Qingming didn't go to school.

But since an alumnus from Didan High School came over, she hoped that Qingming would go over and get to know each other.

Might be able to have one more friend.

"The owner, you are still a classmate, maybe you are a senior, a junior, or even a classmate, why don't you go over and say hello?"

"Whether you want to go or not, at worst, just give her a discount. You decide for yourself."

"...She ordered Mengpo soup, maybe she can drink it down."

"Is it?"

Having said that, Qingming became interested.

I didn't intend to continue reading, so I stood up directly.

There are very few people who can drink Meng Po soup.

Quantum counts as one, and Asai Chengmi counts as one.

But Asai Chengshi is not as good as Quantum, and Quantum drinks it without caring. Asai Chengshi is not good, it is too reluctant.

It would be nice if there were still people who could drink it.

Of course, what Qingming wants to see more is that the other party makes a fool of himself.

However, the other party's back was facing the counter side, so they couldn't see the front.

So Qingming stood up.

"I'll sit over there and have a look."

After speaking, he left the counter with the book and walked over there.

Azusa Enomoto felt a little helpless.

Couldn't this Mr. Shopkeeper think of anything other than pranks?
But she's too lazy to take care of it.

And here, Qingming walked up to the girl, stopped, and took a look at the girl's appearance.

"what?"

Qingming, who had no interest at first, suddenly looked a little surprised.

"Young lady, you look familiar!"

It seems to have seen it somewhere.

where is it?

Qingming began to think about memories.

The girl with her head propped on one hand seemed to sense that someone was approaching.

Lift your head up and put your hands down.

The arm also touched the coffee on the table, almost knocking over the coffee.

Looking at the coffee in the cup, he seemed a little confused.

When will the coffee be delivered?

She can't figure it out.

Then he raised his head again and looked at Qingming.

It was a pair of eyes that seemed to be filled with endless sorrow, maybe she had a lot on her mind.

Looking at Qingming, she seemed a little puzzled.

Before she could say anything, Qingming walked to the seat in front of her and sat down.

Then ask.

"A class B of the second year of Didan High School?"

That's Xiaolan's class.

It is also Qingming's class, although Qingming has never been there a few times.

But if it was really someone I met, it would probably be a classmate.

So he just asked.

When the girl heard this question, she seemed even more puzzled.

"Correct."

Although he didn't quite understand it, he nodded in response.

After getting the answer, Qingming laughed.

"Really!"

Saying that, he stretched out his hand towards the girl.

"My name is Qingming, that foreign student, do you know?"

"Oh."

The girl nodded with no expression on her face.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still reached out his hand and shook hands with Qingming to express friendship.

After all, he is an international student from a foreign country, so he should show some face and take care of him if he should.

"Naoko Takei."

This is how she introduced herself.

Then he ignored Qingming, turned his head, and continued to look at the rain scene outside.

What a girl with a lot of personality!
　I suddenly wanted to ask a question, the first two Conan novels are from the harem

　　What are your thoughts on this book?
