Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 208 Will protect...

night.

It was quiet in the coffee shop.

Azusa Enomoto was not there, and there were no guests, only Qingming herself.

very quiet.

Qingming likes this kind of quietness, and has been trying to create a quiet environment for herself, ignoring everything outside, and living her own small life.

But there are always people who want to break this silence.

But no one can succeed.

At least not so far, Qingming's life has not changed much.

It just seems that a lot has changed since the beginning.

Is this change good or bad?

Qingming has never considered this point, anyway, as long as there is no trouble, it is a good thing for him.

Outside, the snow is falling more and more.

Judging from the current situation, maybe tomorrow, we can build snowmen and have snowball fights.

The weather in this world is always so strange.

However, get used to it.

He stood up, stretched himself, left his seat again, and walked to the store door.

open the door.

"Meow~"

The black cat walked in from the outside, shaking its body, and the white snowflakes drifted, fell to the ground, and gradually disappeared.

"Meow~"

The black cat moved to Qingming's feet, rubbing its head on his calf.

Qingming bent down and grabbed it.

"Your master is really cruel. If you are thrown outside in such a cold weather, you are not afraid of freezing to death."

"Meow~"

The black cat couldn't understand what he was saying.

It looked like I was talking to the black cat before, but it was actually talking to its owner through the black cat, so it looked like a question-and-answer type.

But at this moment, the owner of the black cat is probably hiding in the warm blanket.

He raised the black cat with both hands and looked at it.

"Well, it's a female cat."

Qingming nodded.

But what does it matter?

Just treat it as an innocuous move out of boredom.

"Speaking of which, what has your master been up to lately? It seems like it's been a long time since we sparred, but that's fine, sparring is quite tiring."

"Meow~"

"Meow meow, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Rub the black cat's head.

Hold it, go to the back kitchen, get some biscuits, get some milk, and take it outside again.

Place on the counter table.

Put the black cat on the table and stroke its body.

"Okay, let's eat."

"Meow~"

The black cat stuck out its tongue and licked Qingming's palm.

Then I started to eat.

Qingming seems to be quite happy.

"You are quite spiritual!"

Such an exaggeration.

But he didn't say much, he gently stroked the black cat with one hand, and supported his head with the other hand.

Lost eyesight, out of focus.

In fact, the mind has connected to a crow flying in the wind and snow, and saw some scenes.

Conan is heading to Gunma Prefecture.

Some secrets learned from the diary, if not used as soon as possible, these secrets will become worthless, so I rushed to Gunma County in the snow overnight.

The crow is following.

Qingming watched through the crow for a while.

But the other party was getting farther and farther away from Tokyo, so Qingming gave up.

It's not good to fly too far.

Moreover, the crow can continue to follow, and the pictures it sees will also be stored, and it will not be too late to check them later.

After all, Conan is not the person he wants to protect, and there is no need for real-time monitoring.

"Ah..."

He raised his hands, yawned and stretched.

He stood up again and stroked the black cat.

"Okay, you can stay here tonight, and I will go to sleep in another position."

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed.

Qingming didn't do much, turned off the lights and closed the door, and rushed back to the manor in the snow.

It's better on the coffee shop side though.

but……

"It seems that going back to the manor to sleep at night will soon become my new habit!"

Qingming sighed with emotion.

Or is it already a habit of his?

Maybe.

It is actually not difficult to form a habit. It is said that as long as you persist for 21 days, it is considered as a preliminary habit.

The current state of life seems to last for more than 21 days.

But that doesn't matter either.

……

Conan and Dr. Ali came to Gunma County and found a villa in the mountains.

This is a software engineer's villa.

The software engineer named Itakura was entrusted by the organization to help the other party develop a software. This is known from his diary.

Now, Itakura is dead.

Before this news is announced by the police, if you can't do something with the information left in Itakura's diary, you will lose this great opportunity to contact the organization.

Anyway, Conan thought so.

So without thinking too much, I brought Dr. Ali over here.

This is very dangerous behavior.

But Conan didn't seem to realize this, and acted according to his own ideas.

Crows are watching.

For such a dangerous behavior, Qingming has no intention to stop it, it is not good for him, and what he has always wanted to watch is this kind of live-action movie.

Rather, he is looking forward to the day when Conan, who is constantly dying, is really a dog.

Although you may never see it.

All in all, nothing seems to have changed.

……

manor.

It was already midnight.

Because they had called before and said they would not be coming back tonight, the twin maids did not wait for him and had already fallen asleep.

Lucy was sitting in the hall instead.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he ran over specially.

It seemed to be relieved to find out that it was Qingming, but also a little disappointed.

"The owner."

called.

He walked over quickly again and brought Qingming the slippers he wanted to change.

It seems like it hasn't been like this for a long time.

Since the twin maids came to work here in the manor, the work that originally belonged to her was basically done by the twin maids, and she didn't need to do much at all.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

Qingming asked.

To Akane, his attitude is not as bad as that of Hui Yuan Ai, Qian is a good girl, he likes Qian more than Hui Yuan Ai.

Of course, the liking here does not involve the slightest affection between men and women.

But really speaking, I seem to like the twin maids more than Akane, and I like Enomoto Azusa and Ayumi more than the twin maids.

But this...

It seems that they cannot be compared.

"Ai hasn't come back yet."

Sissy explained.

Hui Yuanai didn't come back after school, but just made a phone call and said that she was with Dr. A Li.

Akane has never met Dr. Ali.

After moving into the manor, I basically never went out, so I only saw those who had been to the manor. As for those who had not been, I could only say that I had heard of it.

That's not the point either.

"Stay over there, don't worry."

Qingming shook her head.

Although he still doesn't like the little girl very much, there is also a crow following her. If there is any danger, he will receive the news as soon as possible.

Now the crow has not warned, so Hui Yuanai is fine.

"that……"

Qian hesitated to speak.

Qingming looked at her and spoke directly.

"If you have anything else to say, just say it."

Say so.

While speaking, he had already changed his shoes and walked directly towards the bathroom.

Qian put away the shoes he had changed and hurried to follow.

"Shopkeeper, will you protect Ai?"

"..."

Qingming stopped.

Turning his head, he looked at Akane who also stopped and stood aside.

Silence for a long time.

Continue walking towards the bathroom.

"Bring me a change of clothes."

"……Yes."

Akane responded, then turned and left.

Qingming walked into the bathroom, took off her clothes and trousers.

"Will you protect her?"

Thinking about that little girl Hui Yuan Ai, she shook her head directly.

"God knows!"
