Chapter 443: Valentine's Day

"Shiho, I'm here. "Dad took Conan and Ran to Fukidu Villa, and I came to Dr. Agasa's house in a hurry.

"Well, sit down, there's a hot coat on the table. In front of the computer desk not far away, Shiho spat out a sentence lightly, and continued to type on the keyboard in front of him.

"I said Shiho.,You're about to become an otaku like this, eh.。。 The corners of my mouth were grinning, joking with Shiho, who was facing away from me, as I picked up the hot luck on the table.

"Otherwise, are you going to go to some mountain villa with your sister to make chocolate?" Shiho's tone didn't fluctuate too much, and the simple joke was already a spice for us to lighten the atmosphere.

"Haha, that's not necessary. "I sat on the couch and enjoyed the heat. "Valentine's Day. Shiho, what are you going to do?"

"Just like usual. Shiho's interest is not high, and she doesn't have much feeling about this kind of festival because of the perennial habits in the organization. "But you, you seem to be a little absent-minded lately, have you encountered something?"

"Hmmm... I said as I looked at the ceiling. "Conan asked me about someone today. ”

"Oh, who is it?"

"Shuichi Akai. ”

“。。。 The sound of the keyboard in Shiho's hand stopped abruptly, and even in the quiet room for a moment, I could hear Shiho's heart beating fiercely.

"I have to say that kid is very keen, just a few times to meet, and he has already begun to have doubts about this person. ”

"Have they seen each other many times?" After a brief silence, the familiar keyboard tapping sounded again, but the rhythm became a little chaotic.

"Since the last bus, three times. "With the hot cup in my hand, my face has become a little serious. "Shiho, I have a hunch that something will happen next. ”

"What do you want me to do?" Shiho looked back at me, but unfortunately because of her height, she only saw a small pale golden head sitting with her back to her on the sofa.

"Back to El Cattras. I also looked back at Shiho. "Go back to El Cattras and stabilize Sister Akemi. ”

"Huh?" Shiho was slightly surprised. "How would my sister know... ”

"It's not a good thing to say. Taking a sip of the hot drink in my cup, I said slowly. "I have a hunch that our first collision with the organization and the FBI is coming, and it will be a more intense collision. ”

“。。。 Ling over there. ”

"According to Mary's news, Ling is still in the recovery stage, and her mission after that is also very clear, to find revenge on the spider, so I don't think she will have contact with us anytime soon. Instead... ”

"Belmode?"

“。。 Well. ”

Shiho is so shrewd, there are not many people in the organization who can approach us silently, and the most likely one is Belmode, excluding Rei. Coupled with the previous bus incident and the zoo incident, Shiho himself also has some guesses, it should be Belmode has found some clues and is going to start investigating us.

"Whew. Shiho exhaled lightly. "Is there a way to deal with it?"

"Nope. "I leaned back on the couch and shook my head weakly like a bobblehead. "But because it's Belmode, I want to take a gamble. ”

"How?"

"I bet... Hey~Don't tell you~"

“。。。。 Shiho stared at me blankly for a few seconds, and finally said with a frown. "Boring. ”

———— the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardian————

That afternoon, I forcibly pulled Shiho out of the door and creaked through the snow on the street in my warm winter clothes. There is still a day or two before Valentine's Day, but no one will know what will happen on that day, so I pulled Shiho to come to celebrate the holiday in advance, after all, it is now the appearance of two children, and if you do something on Valentine's Day, it will be considered a very strange thing by others.

"Hah... ”

Walking through the streets, the snowflakes around you fall one by one, although there is a haze overhead, but when the street is covered with a silver coat, it looks brighter and cleaner than a sunny day.

The breath in her mouth was gently sprayed on Shiho's little hands, which were already a little red from the cold, to drive away a trace of winter cold for her. It also adds a touch of warmth to this early Valentine's Day.

"Shiho, it's been a long time since we last went shopping, right?"

"If you go to the supermarket to buy dinner materials for a purpose, it's been long enough. Wearing a red knitted jacket, Shiho wore a hat with the same velvet on his head, and a pair of snow boots with the same red squeaked and made a crisp sound when walking on the snow, as if he had never been so relaxed in disguise.

"Shall we go shopping at the mall?" I took Shiho's hand and accompanied her through the snow. "You still have to buy clothes for the winter. ”

"There are clothes made of high-heat materials provided by Sister Shizuru, so we don't need to buy clothes that affect our movement in the winter because of the temperature. Shiho's eyes kept on the snow underground. "It's not a bad idea to prepare some goods for the winter. Raising his head, he had a quiet side face with a bright smile. Suddenly, he took my hand and ran. The creaking of the snow underneath also became rhythmic.

"Green onions, round lettuce, teriyaki sauce. Ah, the beef over here. In front of the shopping shelves of Rice Flower Department Store, Shiho looked at the various goods on the shelves and began to count the ingredients he had recently made. And all I have to do is load it all into my cart. Follow Shiho forward.

"Hi~~" I took the ingredients Shiho had ordered and followed behind her. "I'll take a look, put the beef here. Hmm, what is it? chocolate powder, when did you put it in?"

"Don't, don't rummage!" Shiho hurriedly snatched a reddish-brown bag from my hand and hid it behind me.

"Oh~~" I raised my eyebrows and looked triumphant.

"This, this is a dessert after the sukiyaki!" Shiho blushed and shoved the bag into the bottom of the ingredient pile.

"Ou~Okay~" If it's cheap, I'll just shoot it. "But Shiho, sukiyabe, should we go and eat with our mother?"

"Huh?" Shiho was stunned by what I said. The flush that had just disappeared on his cheeks crept up again. "How suddenly ... ”

"Some time ago, my mother and my father fought a lawsuit together, Conan's kid used my father's voice to solve the case, so that the relationship between my parents eased a little, I thought the two of them could go back again, but my father didn't know which tendon was wrong, and went to find a beautiful aunt to eat in front of my mother, if it wasn't for Conan to stop me, I guess Xiaolan kicked up. ”

"Poof. Shiho chuckled. "It's really hard for my aunt. ”

"Yes, I happened to be away that day, so my mother sent me a big message after I went back to complain about my father. I wondered if I could find time to spend time with her. ”

"Hmm... That's right. After thinking about it, Shiho nodded. "Okay, then let's prepare some more ingredients. But we'll have to go back and get Dr. Asasa's share right. ”

"Today is not a special day, and Dr. Asa doesn't seem to need to spend the next few days on Valentine's Day. I scratched my head and said, "Why don't I give Dr. Asa a meal card and let him go to the Skinny Wolf's restaurant for a meal... EmmmmOkay, I told the restaurant to prepare a low-calorie meal for Dr. Asasa. Looking at Shiho's slightly angry gaze, I couldn't help but shrink my neck, if I let the doctor eat with my belly open, it is estimated that the diet plan that Shiho has restricted for the doctor these days will be ruined again.

After arranging a super-healthy menu for Dr. Asasa at a fine dining restaurant, Shiho and I continued to browse the market. In between, I called my mom and told her we were going to have dinner together in the evening. My mother swept away her complaints about my father, gladly accepted my proposal, and gave her secretary Midori Kuriyama a vacation in advance, and went home early to prepare for our arrival.

About an hour later, Shiho and I went to my mother's apartment.

"Mom, we're here. ”

"Hello aunt~"

Because there are no outsiders, I am not afraid of being heard by others when I call my mother like this.

"Welcome back, Kaoru-chan, mourning~" The mother who changed into the professional suit put on a white coral velvet nightgown at this time, and her hair was also scattered, relaxed and comfortable. In order to create a warm atmosphere for us about to celebrate Valentine's Day, my mother deliberately turned off the main light in the living room, turned on the side lights, and lit candles at the dining table. As the candle flame flickered, it was as if the temperature of the entire room had risen.

Dinner was not complicated, and after the bottom of the pot was propped up, the family of three began to gradually put the ingredients into the pot. With the comfortable smiles of the family, the ingredients are also slowly boiling in the boiling water, the snowflakes outside the window are still flying, and the atmosphere in the house is constantly heating up in the boiling of the hot pot.

Sure enough, sukiyaki has to be eaten together as a family to have a taste.

。。。。。。

Meanwhile, in a room in an apartment in Rice Flower City, a mature woman with wavy blonde hair is smoking a cigarette alone in a room with no lights on. She was wearing a black dress, leaning against the window, after smoking the lady's cigarette in her hand, she picked up a glass of golden wine alone, under the moonlight, beauty, wine, it was a beautiful picture, but it was such a woman with thousands of postures, but her eyes at this time seemed to be unfinished, as if she was a fox staring at her prey, as long as the other party made a slight move, she would pounce on it in one breath and bite the throat of her prey.

Drip, drip, drip.

The ringing of the phone interrupted the woman's coziness.

"What?" the woman exhaled softly, and there was a hint of indifference in her voice, but more of a playfulness. The voice on the other side of the phone was very crisp, but it was more cold than the woman's voice.

"Mission accomplished. ”

"Oh, so fast?"

"The information provided by Mary was accurate. ”

On the other end of the line, a girl dressed in black and white was dialing the phone in a luxurious apartment, her purple hair floating frivolously behind her master under the dim floor lamp. At the end of the beam, a blonde man fell to the ground, scarlet blood beneath him. The man also had a strangely shaped helmet beside him. It's a pity that the red weird light on the helmet has been dimmed at this time.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that girl to have such first-hand intelligence ability. The voice on the other end of the phone is even more playful.

"Is there a problem?" said the voice on the other end of the line, a little dissatisfied.

"Of course not. The blonde woman chuckled. "There are still a few days left until the end of the mission, and you can relax over there. ”

"No, I'll go back tomorrow. On the other end of the phone, a blood-red moonblade flashed. Her master turned and walked away, neatly and cleanly.

"Hehe, that's fine. The blonde woman said with a smile on her lips. "Perhaps, you can catch up with a very interesting drama?"

"Oh, what does that mean?"

"No, nothing. The blonde woman said no more, just sipped the golden wine in her glass and said lightly. "Anyway, welcome back, Ling. ”
