Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 233 Because...

There are many pursuits of people.

But in general, there are only a few types: power, wealth, status, beauty and so on.

"It seems that this is not your pursuit!"

Qingming shook her head.

Turn over and lie down directly on one side, looking at the ceiling.

Shimokasami Naho quickly got up, got off the bed and stood aside, seeming a bit scared.

"host……"

"It's late, you go to rest, don't care about what happened just now."

"……Yes."

Responded.

Then he packed up and left quickly.

Qingming glanced at the door that opened and closed, and sighed softly.

"Hey..."

He seemed to want to say something, but couldn't say anything.

In the end, I could only sigh.

Then he got up from the bed, left the room, and walked straight towards Hui Yuanai's room.

The door is not locked.

It doesn't matter if it's locked or not.

Qingming easily pushed open the door and walked in, then closed the door behind his back, Hui Yuanai was already awakened by such a movement.

She just fell asleep.

The room was a little dark, but she didn't need to turn on the lights, she could know who came in, anyway, except for Qingming, no one would come to her room so late.

Thief?

That kind of thing doesn't come here.

Get up quickly.

Qingming had already climbed onto her bed, got into the bed, and held her in his arms, making her unable to move.

"You again..."

"sleep."

"what?"

"sleep."

"..."

A little helpless.

But Hui Yuanai didn't say anything.

Anyway, as long as you don't do those weird things.

It's just that sleeping together in such a way seems to be very intimate. Is this really all right?
Hui Yuanai was a little skeptical.

But I didn't think much about it.

Sighing lightly, he closed his eyes and went to rest.

……

the next day.

In the morning, in the coffee shop.

Qingming, who was sitting at the counter, had a slice of bread in his mouth and a cup of coffee in his hand.

Purple coffee.

"Um……"

Quickly finished the slice of bread, and then opened his mouth.

"You really like to make some strange colors."

Raising her head slightly, she looked at Azusa Enomoto, who was standing in front of the counter with a tray and a smile.

This is her freshly brewed coffee.

only……

"Purple coffee, how did you make it?"

"Ghost knows."

"..."

"But it's okay. No matter how strange it is, it's not as weird as the Mengpo soup you made, the owner. I can only be regarded as a small witch."

"Um……"

Looking at the coffee in his hand, Qingming fell into deep thought.

Should I drink it?
The color doesn't look very good, it may be a very dangerous thing, it's better not to drink it.

don't drink?

Azusa Enomoto stood in front of him with a smile on her face. If she didn't drink, she would force him down.

"Ok."

After struggling for a long time, Qingming still made a decision.

"I drink."

"..."

Azusa Enomoto suppressed her smile and looked at him expressionlessly.

Is it so difficult to choose?
After all, no matter how weird the coffee she concocted, it couldn't compare to Qingming's. Just a cup of Mengpo soup coffee is enough to make all the baristas bow down.

It was an inimitable taste.

But this is not the point.

Qingming brought the cup to her mouth, took a small sip, and tasted it.

Then grin.

Putting down the coffee, stood up, reached out and patted Enomoto Azusa on the shoulder.

"Come on, I believe it won't be long before you can catch up with me and overtake me!"

"..."

……

for a long time.

"Alas..."

After tidying up, Azusa Enomoto stood in front of the counter again, sighing.

"It's really difficult to make new coffee."

"It's nothing. You're not a professional anyway. It's normal to fail. After you fail a few more times, you'll get used to it."

"..."

Azusa Enomoto squinted at Qingming.

So this is consolation?
Well, let's just think of him as comforting, anyway, you can't expect to hear many good things from Qingming's mouth.

but……

"Speaking of which, shopkeeper."

"Ok?"

"Since I'm not a professional, why did you let me work here in the first place?"

Azusa Enomoto asked a question.

In the past, she didn't know Qingming well, and she didn't have anyone to introduce her to her. She just saw the recruitment announcement and the salary seemed good, so she came here to try her luck.

The result was hired.

She was obviously just an ordinary girl, and she didn't know much about coffee and cakes at that time, but everything in the store was basically handed over to her.

"So, why?"

"Um……"

Qingming stroked her chin, thinking.

for a long time.

Lift your head and smile all over your face.

"Fate."

"what?"

"Because I don't want to change, some things are bound to happen!"

"Strange, huh!"

Azusa Enomoto pouted.

There happened to be a guest coming in, so he dropped Qingming and put on a smiling face to meet him.

"welcome."

……

It was still morning.

Xiaolan, Conan and Mori Kogoro yawned and opened the door and walked in.

"Good morning, Qingming."

"Good morning, Lan."

Qingming responded.

He looked up with a smile, and found that Xiaolan was a little listless, so he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"

"Ah, last night because of the Kaitou Kidd thing, I came back very late, and woke up early again, feeling not energetic."

Xiaolan nodded.

He raised his hand again, and patted his cheek with a "smack", trying to pull himself together.

As for Mori Kogoro, he spoke directly.

"Boy, get me that coffee."

"The coffee?"

"Witch soup or something."

"Mengpo soup."

"All in all, it's enough to make me refreshed. I still have things to do afterwards."

Say so.

After speaking, he yawned and walked towards the seat where no one was sitting. Conan followed behind him, also looking like he was not awake.

Qingming scratched her head.

Mori Kogoro wants to drink Mengpo soup...

"Ok."

Just drink it, it's not a big deal.

"Azi, here are three cups of Meng..."

"That, I don't want it, I will go back to rest after I have something to eat."

Xiaolan quickly opened her mouth to remind her.

I don't have to go to school today, and I don't need to do other things, so I can sleep in at home.

It is also a rare experience.

"I'll go and talk to Miss Azi myself."

"Oh, please."

Qingming nodded.

Xiaolan didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

If Qingming comes, the ghost knows what will happen.

She knew that Qingming would not let go of such a good opportunity, and she might secretly ask Enomoto Azusa to prepare something not so good, to cheat Mori Kogoro and Conan.

Absolutely.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, Mori Kogoro and Conan don't know how many times they have been tricked by Qingming, and Qingming doesn't care whether they are energetic or not.

Although this time, Mori Kogoro took the initiative to order Mengpo soup coffee.

But this is not the only way Qingming defrauds people. To be precise, this is just the most basic, and there are various other methods.

Not to mention that.

In fact, today's Qingming has no superfluous thoughts.

To be precise, he didn't have time to think about these issues recently, but he was thinking about his own problems, studying the things he was interested in, and he hadn't cheated anyone for a long time.

Occasionally thinking of this, Qingming could only shake his head.

"Ah, I have really forgotten the way I exist. Time is really scary. It can change everything without knowing it. Time is not forgiving!"

with emotion.

Although a boy of seventeen or eighteen lamented the passage of time, he had a feeling of "sorry for writing new words".

"Young man..."

Grin.

"It seems like a long time ago."

"what?"

The voice suddenly sounded.

After taking a closer look, I realized that Xiaolan walked back to the counter at some point and looked at him suspiciously.

Maybe he heard what Qingming said just now.

"It's nothing."

Qingming shook his head, and asked directly in order to change the subject.

"What's wrong? What's the matter with you?"
