Chapter 140 After the performance

ON SUNDAY, THE DAY AFTER THE TWO-MIX SHOW, CONAN MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DETECTIVE GROUP KIDS TO GO TO BASEBALL TOGETHER, BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS ONE LESS PERSON ON THE TRIP, AND YES, I DIDN'T GO BECAUSE I HAD OTHER THINGS TO DO TODAY, SUCH AS CONTACTING MINAMI AT HER REQUEST.

"Moses Moses, this is Minami Takayama. Now I'm not on the phone, if there is something please leave a message after the beep. ”

"Huh, no one answered?" I wondered as I lay on my bed. No, didn't you say you would contact her today? Forget it, let's leave a message first. "Ahem, that, I'm Ming Yaxun, you said that I should contact you, but it seems that you are very busy, call me back when you are free, I don't seem to have anything to do today......"

"Moses Moses, Kaoru-chan?" Before I finished the recording, Minami's voice rang on the other side of the phone.

"Oh, so you're here. "I have no conscience.

"Ah, sorry sorry, I'm just changing clothes. Minami's slightly apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"So, then, what's the matter with me?" I said with a shrug of relief.

"This ...... I said on the phone that it was inconvenient, can you come out? Is that okay?" Minami asked.

"This ...... Okay, yes, but what the hell are you looking for me?"

"Hee-hee, it's not me looking for you, it's my agent looking for you. Minami smiled.

"Hmm?!" is really exposed? I frowned. I can't think of anything exposed.

"Is that okay?"

"Oh, well, let's meet at about eleven o'clock in the afternoon. I looked at the time. What do you want to do so much, let's go over and take a look, if it is really exposed, if that agent dares to say it, just kill him, anyway, there is a thin wolf behind me that involves the government. It's not that something really goes wrong that can't be solved. But it turned out that the above thoughts were completely overthought because the first thing I said when I met Minami and her agent was ......

"Please. Mingya children. Please work with Minami-chan again!"

“…… Huh?" "Looking at the pleading look on my agent's face, I suddenly became messy, what the hell is this?

"Well...... That's the way it is. Minami smiled helplessly. It turned out that this was the way it was, after yesterday's show. The enthusiasm of the audience continues, especially the double sound effect of singing me and Minami completely drove the audience crazy, so the agent seemed to see the business opportunity in it, so Minami asked me out. Let's talk about whether we can work with TWO-MIX.

"This ...... To be honest, I don't have much interest in this kind of thing. I refused. Just kidding, I was already half tired last time, and this time again?

"Really? That's a shame. The agent said with a look of frustration. Actually, he can't be blamed for this, after all, a mission forced him to pay 30 million yen, although it's not a lot, but it's indeed a lot of wealth, if he can make a lot of money back because of this double sound effect, of course he has to try his best, but unfortunately the other party is not willing to do it.

"Well...... If that's what happened. Forget it, is there anything else?" I said, cupping my cheeks.

"Well, then let's ask Mingya to come and have a show in the next concert. "Brokers seem reluctant to give up.

"Well, well, I'll check it out. "After thinking about it, I still accepted the agent's invitation for two reasons, one was that I could continue my mission to protect TWO-MIX on the spot, and the invitation was sent by the official, even if it was a school leave. It is also very easy to explain to your family, and it is beneficial to your own tasks. Secondly, considering the timing of the last two concerts, one is Wednesday. One was on Saturday. It doesn't matter if it's on Saturday, the problem is Wednesday, and if I say yes, then I can take a day off on Wednesday. In the morning, when I was fine, I was able to get rid of Conan and go about some of my own business.

"Really? That's great. Here's a badge and a few tickets for the show, Mingya kids, you can also call your friends to come along. With that, the agent gave me an unfilled job certificate and a couple of tickets. After that, he left on the grounds that things were busy.

"Hey...... Kaoru-chan, don't you like to perform on stage?" Watching her agent leave, Minami also chatted with me alone.

"Well...... It's never a bad thing to keep a low profile. I replied curtly.

"But then again, the last time you shot at you, although I helped you hide it from the police, I still have some curiosity about you, and I always feel that you were not like a seven-year-old child when you confronted the prisoner at that time, but like an adult. Minami smiled playfully. "So, can you tell me what's going on?"

“A.secret.makes.a.gentlemen.more.style。 Again, I gave the same answer. "There are some things you still don't know, if you have to say, you can treat me as a universal machine, of course, whether this machine can work well depends on my personal mood. I replied indifferently with my eyes closed.

"Hey......" Minami's eyes became even more playful. "So, as an all-powerful machine, can you predict my future?"

"......" I didn't speak, just squinted at her with half-moon eyes.

"Hee-hee, just kidding, don't be angry......"

"In the near future, you will meet someone. Minami was interrupted by me before she could finish her sentence.

"Huh?"

"Yes, a man surnamed Aoyama, you will marry him. This is my prophecy for you. ”

"Huh, really?"

"Believe it or not, in about eight to nine years, you'll be married. That's all I have to say, and if you reject him because of my words, then I can only say one thing...... Don't hate me (J). ”

"Hey...... You're really not cute, little ghost. "Mina is full of black lines.

"Well...... So be it, see you next time at the concert. I left my seat and walked outside.

"Eh, a rare date, are you just leaving?" Minami looked at my back with some surprise.

"I'm going to buy Ayumi the hairpin you broke up. "I didn't look back, I just waved my hand with my back to Minami.

"Really, this little ghost is still so arrogant. Minami smiled bitterly. "I said, I broke that hairpin, and I'll buy it if I want to buy it, hey. Wait a minute. ”

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home, the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

The date with Minami is very easy and comfortable, most of them just follow her everywhere, after all, a popular artist, rarely has time to go shopping as happily as today. Look at the way she runs around. I smiled too. Think of it as part of my mission, a big star just goes shopping like this, and I really let some bastard kidnap him, and I have to work hard to find someone again. After a whole afternoon of shopping, Minami finally got tired of shopping. That's why I was spared. I was asked to go home, and again I was given a couple of tickets for the next two performances.

"Kaoru-chan, where did you go today? Why did you come back so late? As soon as I got home, Xiaolan asked me with a worried face. "Didn't you say you would be home before dinner?

"Well, oh, today I went on a date with Minami Takayama. I came back late because I sent her home. I replied indifferently.

"Poof......" As soon as my words fell, Conan, who was sitting at the dining table drinking soup, spat out. "Nani, did you go to see Minami Takayama?"

"Yes, she said that in order to repay me for saving her, she gave me a few tickets for the next performances, and designated me to come and help her in the next two performances. With that, I handed a few tickets to Xiaolan.

"Hey~~ Say so. Xiao Xun, can you become a little star soon?" Xiao Lan clapped her hands with an envious expression. After all, Xiaolan was also present when the double sound effect was there that day.

"Well, I just went to watch her perform, and I didn't promise to go on stage to help her sing. I shrugged.

"That's a shame. Xiaolan looked regretful. "But...... One of them seems to be on Wednesday, is your class okay?"

"Well, it's okay, Minami's agent has already gone to the school to help me ask for leave, and I'll be there on Wednesday for the day. It's the tickets for those concerts. Remember to share it with Sister Yuanzi. With that, I sat down at the dinner table. "I'm moving~" Ignoring Conan's puzzled look beside me, I began to eat my own dinner......

"Hey, Kaoru. Your business won't be exposed, will it?" Conan, who had taken a shower, asked me questions in the room.

"No, it's just that his agent took a fancy to the effect of the last time I sang with Minami, and wanted me to create a higher popularity for them. ”

"You agree?"

"How is that possible...... I just promised him to go and see it, and complete his task by the way, after all, there are still two performances to come. If you want to get the commission money, you have to complete the task 100%. I wiped my wet hair and said flatly.

"By the way, speaking of tasks. How was that mission last time?" Seeing that I talk about the mission, Conan also hurriedly asked.

"Ah, the abduction mission of the red one has been canceled today when I watched it on the Internet. It's probably Satoru Miyahara's own release. I responded. At the same time changed the subject. "By the way, don't talk about me, what about you today?"

"I, I went to play baseball with Motota today, and I ended up with a murder, which was really disappointing. I'll tell you, that woman is in a luxury store...... Hey, why did you sleep? "As Conan spoke to me, I had already gotten under the covers and closed my eyes.

"Huh, what?" I opened one eye and looked at Conan.

"I'm not done yet. ”

"Say what?"

"Murder. ”

"Did you solve it?"

"It's solved. ”

"That's it. I gave Conan a blank look. Turn over.

"But don't you want to hear about my case-solving process?"

"When did I ever get interested in those things? ”

"......" Conan was speechless. "Obviously, you have been involved in the cases in the past few days, but you always look like you don't care about yourself.

"Kudo-kun, how many cases have we had since I came back?" I turned to look at Conan.

"The Kidd Incident, the Kidd Incident, the President Nagato Incident, the TWO-MIX Incident, oh, if the question given to you by Genta counts, it's four. Conan counted on his fingers.

"You've been chasing me about the Kidd incident, and I'm just giving you some hints that I know, right?"

"Yes. ”

"The Nagato-chan incident, I said that I was only interested in a certain person, and I didn't participate in it after that, right?"

"It seems to be. ”

"The question Yuan Tai gave me is my condition for joining the Junior Detective Corps, right?"

"Uh...... This ......"

"NOT TO MENTION TWO-MIX, IF YOU HADN'T LET ME TAKE THAT TASK, I WOULDN'T HAVE CARED ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING UNTIL NOW. Then I turned over again.

“…… You really are. Well, you win. Conan was defeated. A pair of limps lay down in his bed. Looking at the ceiling, Conan muttered. "But seriously, Kaoru, if it weren't for what happened to you, maybe you would be a good detective by now. ”

"Yes? maybe. I gave him a not firm answer to Conan's words.

"Huh, what do you say?"

"Because, in the right place, at the right time, I met the right people. ”

"Why don't I understand that?" Conan wondered.

"Nothing, that's my thing. I'll tell you slowly. Slept, and I have to go to school tomorrow. "No more talking, I put my head under the covers.

"Kaoru...... How many secrets do you still have that you haven't told me? Looking at my movements, Conan's expression was a little solemn. With a slight sigh, he turned off the lights in his room. (To be continued.) )xh118
