Conan: Someone is always trying to murder me

"Okay, now just put the chocolate in the freezer layer of the refrigerator to freeze and solidify. When you come back from the Metropolitan Police Department, you can unmold it!"

When the midday sun shone through the glass in the dessert shop, Sonoko in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile returned to his face.

"Are you sure that if we go to the Metropolitan Police Department at this time, we won't let Officer Megure and the others think that we are just there to get some food?"

Kishida looked at the hour hand on his watch, which was already pointing at twelve o'clock, and couldn't help but complain.

They waited for nearly twenty minutes for Sonoko, during which time Officer Megure had already called, telling them that everyone else had arrived and they were the only ones left, urging them to hurry up.

In response to such urging words, Kishida could only use the usual words of "Come on, come on, we are on the way now."...

"Ha, haha~" Yuanzi laughed dryly.

"This is simple, we can just bring some small cakes." Mingmei smiled.

"Well....."

Hearing this, Saki Nishitani, who had been making desserts for customers and had no sense of presence, suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Huh!? Where did the little cake come from?"

Seeing this, Kishida said a little confused.

"Haha, Sha Ji made this cake when she was practicing! When we were away from the dessert shop these two days, there weren't many customers, so Sha Ji made some extra small cakes and so on. She couldn't eat much by herself. So I keep some of them in the fresh compartment of the refrigerator. Don’t worry, they are delicious! ”

Mingmei's eyes moved upward, her eyes wandering.

"...How much of my food ingredients have you wasted!"

Kishida stared for a long time before looking at Nishitani Saki speechlessly and said.

"Sorry boss, I'm sorry, because I got carried away for a moment..."

Nishitani Saki was very embarrassed and bowed to Kishida repeatedly to apologize.

"It's okay, junior, it's not wasted now, right? Besides, this is what we promised her before!"

Akemi quickly smoothed things over and patted Kishida's arm with a chuckle.

I didn't promise her that she could waste raw materials wantonly!

Kishida muttered inwardly, but still looked at Akemi and said angrily:

"Just pamper her. When the time comes when profits are lost, you, the boss lady, just don't feel bad."

"Hehe~ It's still profitable after all~"

Mei Ming smiled brightly and joked as she turned to the refrigerator to get a small cake.

I pamper her, you pamper me! Isn’t this just right~

"Ha~"

Kishida looked helplessly at Akemi's back, then turned to Nishitani Saki and said seriously:

"It's okay to practice making desserts, but the quantity must be controlled properly. You can also share the desserts with the employees in the store. Anyway, there is absolutely no sign of wasting food. Do you understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

Nishitani Saki nodded frequently.

"Also, I will take your store manager out today and he will not come back. I will leave it to you to handle the affairs in the store. Oh, by the way, you are allowed to leave work three or four hours early today. Well, wages will be paid as normal. That kind~”

Kishida looked at Nishitani Saki and saw that there was no chocolate ingredient at all on the counter, and suddenly added.

"Ah? No, no, thank you, boss. There's nothing to do tonight anyway."

Nishitani Saki was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said softly.

"Then go back and rest more. It's nothing to stay in the kitchen all day long. Besides, today is Valentine's Day! You are not young, right? No matter what, you must find a man to spend this life with!" "

Kishida sighed and curled his lips.

"Pfft~"

"Hahaha~"

"Puch~"

Suddenly there was a steady stream of laughter in the kitchen.

"Um?"

Did I say something funny?

Kishida scratched his head, feeling a little confused.

"Junior, the tone you spoke just now really sounds like an old father who urges girls to get married!"

Seeing Kishida's confused look, Akemi, who had just installed the cake, smiled from ear to ear and joked while laughing.

"What do you mean by 'Are you not too young?' Hahaha, I'm obviously only twenty years old, haha!"

Sonoko opened her mouth and imitated Kishida's tone before saying something, and then she laughed so hard that she tilted her head back and was so happy that the fullness in her chest increased by another cup.

"..."

The corner of Kishida's mouth twitched a few times, and he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Haha, no matter what, thank you boss for your kindness."

Nishitani Saki laughed for a long time before thanking him softly.

"Sha Ji, although my junior is younger than you, he is right. It is indeed time for you to find a man."

Akemi gradually stopped laughing, looked at Saki Nishitani with soft eyes, and said in a serious tone.

"Well, I will consider it. But for now, my lovers are still them~"

Nishitani Saki nodded slightly, looking at the dessert ingredients placed on the counter with his peripheral vision, his tone seemed to be full of relaxation and comfort.

~~

"Haha~ We have a lot of problem clerks in our store! They even have fetishes, and they are desserts!"

A few minutes later, on the way to the Metropolitan Police Department, Kishida complained that his head hurt.

"I guess Saki is joking~ It's just..."

Mingmei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also replied helplessly.

"It's just that the last time, the rice flower wolf left her with a deep fear of men?"

Kishida pursed his lips and answered helplessly.

"Well, judging from the current situation, it should be so. Alas~"

Amei nodded gently, and at the end of the conversation, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Rice flower wolf? What happened to Sister Saki before?"

Sonoko asked curiously.

Even Xiaolan, who has always been in a bad mood, looked a little curious.

"Well, before..."

Amei responded, and then explained to Sonoko and Xiaolan.

"I see, no wonder Sister Saki is like this."

After listening to the explanation, Xiaolan gritted her teeth and said angrily.

"Damn it! Men are not good!"

Sonoko, who is straightforward, was even more angry and killed all the men with one blow.

Kishida:? ? ?

Kishida, who was driving, had his eyelids twitched and was about to speak.

"Ahem, you can't say that, Sonoko. Some men are still very good~~"

However, before Kishida could speak, Akemi looked at Kishida from the corner of her eye and retorted with an awkward expression.

He wasn't a good guy before!

Sonoko muttered in her heart, but because she had changed her mind about Kishida now, she said reluctantly: "Well, for example, Zhen and Kishida are very good."

As soon as Sonoko finished speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiaolan, who looked a little bad, and was startled. She hurriedly said:

"Oh, by the way, Xiaolan, Shinichi is also very..."

"Sonoko, don't mention that reasoning madman! That bastard, the liar! I don't even know where he ran off to, why mention him!"

I don't know what she remembered, Xiaolan, with a black line on her face, suddenly interrupted Sonoko's words, her tone was very unhappy and aggrieved.

"Ha, haha~"

Sonoko laughed dryly and closed her mouth wisely.

Oh! That boy Conan has hurt the girl's heart again~''

Kishida and Akemi looked at each other, knowing each other.

However, one of them simply felt sorry for Xiaolan. The other, however, felt more fortunate and emotional.
