Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 14 Boys and Girls

It's raining. It's still falling.

Very big.

Although the sound insulation effect of the coffee shop is considered good, the sound of crashing rain still faintly came in from the door of the shop.

Raindrops made a muffled "popo" sound on the huge glass windows.

Against the window glass, the rain meanders down, blurring the vision.

The girl looked melancholy, propped her head on her left hand, and just looked at the outside world through the blurred glass of the window.

Occasionally, there will be a few students after school, running in the rain.

Vigorous boys and girls don't mind getting wet in the rain.

Rather, that is called youth.

But she is also a girl in her teens, why doesn't Takei Naoko look energetic at all?

Qingming was a little curious about this.

Moreover, what is there to see in the outside world?

He didn't speak, just sat in the position in front of Naoko Takei, and turned his head to look at the outside world.

A car stopped in front of the coffee shop, and it seemed that someone was inside, maybe waiting for someone.

Maybe someone went to the detective agency upstairs and entrusted Mori Kogoro to help investigate something?
Qingming didn't know.

Anyway, apart from seeing two girls running in the rain, I didn't see anything more.

So he retracted his gaze and looked at Naoko Takei.

This girl, who is considered a classmate, seems to be different from others.

"Coffee, don't you want to drink?"

Qingming still spoke.

The coffee on the table was still steaming and bubbling.

The dark green liquid looks very unappetizing.

But the girl didn't seem to care about this, and didn't even look at it.

There was no response to Qingming's inquiry, and she was immersed in her own world.

Look, still melancholy.

Maybe something bad happened?
Or have you read some romance novels and are worried about the fate of the characters in the novel?

Adolescent girls are all a little sentimental.

So Qingming can understand, even if he doesn't quite understand it.

He is not some adolescent girl, he has passed puberty long ago.

Don't forget that he is a time traveler. Although his current physical age is only 17 years old, in fact, he must be at least 35 years old.

Of course, this is not the point.

Seeing that Naoko Takei didn't respond, Qingming tilted his head and looked at her for a while.

Then he spoke again.

"Perhaps you need some rabbits?"

It is said that on rainy days, rabbits go well with coffee.

But the girl still didn't respond.

Qingming didn't take the next step, just looked at the other party.

Short shoulder-length hair, delicate facial features, and delicate features, she is a pretty girl.

Maybe get lots of love letters?
Thinking of this, Qingming also thought that maybe he could write a few love letters for fun.

He'd never written that kind of thing.

And the girl seemed to have finally come to her senses.

Withdrawing his gaze from the window, he stared blankly at Qingming.

"rabbit?"

It seems that creatures like rabbits have a certain lethality for girls.

Of course, the premise is a cute rabbit; and the girl must not have rabbit phobia; let alone be a foodie.

Naoko Takei is obviously not, so she is attracted to the rabbit.

Or maybe it was just because he suddenly realized that there was someone sitting in front of him?

Only she knows.

Anyway, Qingming has no way of guessing a person's true inner thoughts.

"No, nothing."

He shook his head, not intending to continue talking about the rabbit.

There's no way, he's not surnamed Xiangfeng, he's not a loli, and he doesn't have a rabbit on his head.

This is not the key.

"You seem to have something on your mind?"

Qingming seems to be more interested in this.

Or maybe he's interested in girls?

Similarly, only Qingming himself knows.

But Naoko Takei just shook his head.

"No, nothing."

She returned the answer to Qingming intact.

Then he picked up the cup and took a sip.

He didn't seem to want to talk too much with Qingming, after putting down the cup, he propped his head up and continued to look outside.

This made Qingming feel a little unbelievable.

Could it be another monster who can ignore Mengpo soup and coffee?

Qingming felt incredible about this.

Anyway, even he couldn't drink the coffee himself, if someone could drink it, it would definitely be a monster level.

For example, Quantum.

Qingming glanced at Quantum who was drinking coffee and reading a book to pass the time.

Then he looked at Takei Naoko again.

Maybe everything with "zi" in its name is a monster?

For example, Shirai Kuroko, Saten Reiko, Suina Kyoko, Quantum and so on.

Now maybe a Naoko Takei would be added.

"Sure enough, if you meet someone with 'zi' in their name in the future, it's best not to provoke them."

Qingming thought so in his mind.

Maybe today, I have to fulfill my wish for Naoko Takei?
I just don't know what kind of wish she has, whether it is difficult or not, if it is too difficult, Qingming might not be able to achieve it.

But soon, all speculations were denied.

"Well……"

It seemed to be very slow, so I only reacted now, and my face suddenly became ugly.

He opened his mouth and stuck out his little tongue, with a painful expression on his face.

However, the coffee has already entered the stomach.

Want to vomit, but can't.

I turned my gaze to the coffee on the table, only to realize that it was not the familiar coffee.

"what is this?"

The dark green bubbling liquid looks disgusting.

Thinking that she drank such an unknown liquid into her stomach just now, Naoko Takei felt nauseated.

He raised his hand to cover his mouth, for fear that something bad would cause him to vomit.

It's not good for such a gaffe to happen in front of strangers.

"Coffee, Mengpo soup."

Qingming replied.

By the way, didn't she order it herself?
Qingming looked at Azusa Enomoto who was working on the side.

Azusa Enomoto seemed to have heard the conversation here, and also guessed what Qingming was thinking, but she just made a "signature" mouth shape.

Well, so Qingming can understand.

Anyway, Naoko Takei just ordered her signature coffee.

This is normal.

Qingming didn't think too much, but smiled and continued to explain.

"One cup of refreshment, two cups of never-tiring, three cups of immortality, do you want two more cups? There will be rewards after drinking!"

"..."

Takei Naoko just lowered her head, looked at the coffee on the table, and didn't speak.

Maybe she didn't want to say anything more to Qingming.

After all, she and Qingming had nothing to do with each other. Although they were classmates, they hadn't even said a word before that.

In this regard, Qingming can only feel helpless.

After thinking about it, he didn't leave.

Continue to sit there, like a girl, turning her head and looking outside.

It's still raining.

It's raining heavily, and this heavy rain can cool down the temperature, and maybe I can sleep comfortably tonight.

At least Qingming thinks it's okay.

You sleep more comfortably when it's cold than when it's hot.

Thinking of this, Qingming gradually became dazed.

Azusa Enomoto, who was busy on the side, looked this way for a while, then looked away and shook her head.

"I really don't understand the world of young people!"

Such a sentimental sentence.

Then suddenly something was wrong.

She is only 23 years old, and she is not old, how can she say that she does not understand the world of young people?

"The world of middle school boys and girls is really incomprehensible!"

That's right.

Anyway, 23 is definitely not old, absolutely.
