Chapter 856: Yoon-sama, the "Egg of Memories" is for you!~
Paris, France, 12 noon local time.
In front of a cake shop.
Dressed in a red suit and with pockets in both hands, Lupin III walked into the store with Daisuke Jigen and sat down at the bar.
Elegant Western classical music is playing in the cake shop, and inside the bar, a pastry chef sits on a resting stool, looking at the contents of his hands worriedly.
Lupin III and Jigen Daisuke sat lazily in their chairs, ordered two cups of coffee and then two more cakes, and after eating some briefly, Lupin III smiled and said to the female pastry chef in the bar, "...... Every time I've been in Paris lately, I've wanted to come here to try the coffee you brewed and the cake made by Natsumi Kasaka, and the taste is really top-notch......
When Lupin III's words fell, Kasaka Natsumi hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly and said, "...... Where, the two of you are really overrated......"
Before Kasaka Natsumi finished speaking, Daisuke Dimension also reached out and pressed his hat, and said with a rare compliment:
“...... That's right, Miss Kasaka's craftsmanship is really good, and the environment here is also very good......"
Lupin III took a sip of coffee: "Daisuke, let's come over tomorrow too!By the way, call Fujiko and Goemon again, and try Miss Kasaka's craftsmanship together......"
Natsumi Kasaka was slightly stunned when she heard Lu Bang's words, and then immediately said, "...... I'm sorry, but if you two want me to serve you tomorrow, I can't do anything about it. I've encountered something and I'm going to take a leave of absence to go back to Japan, maybe in half a month......"
Lu Pin III was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked curiously, "...... Is Miss Kasaka going back to Japan? What are you going to do back to Japan?"
"This ......" Natsumi Kasaka hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "...... About a month ago, my grandmother passed away. As I was collecting her belongings, I found strange scraps of paper, notes, and a key......"
“...... I didn't really care, but just now Mr. Sawabe, the deacon of my home in Japan, called me and told me that at an art exhibition held by the Suzuki Foundation at an art museum in Osaka next week, he found an art object with the same pattern as the one on the torn paper, and the name was the same, "Egg of Memories"......"
"Mr. Sawabe said that the 'Egg of Memories' is most likely a family heirloom left by my great-grandfather and great-grandmother, and my mother seems to have been looking for it in the first place, so I have to go back and see it......"
"'Egg of Memory'?" Lupin III was stunned when he heard this, looked at Kasaka Natsumi carefully, as if he remembered something, and then looked seriously at the thing in Kasaka Natsumi's hand and asked, "...... Excuse me, can I take a look at those two pieces of paper in your hand?"
"Absolutely. Kasaka Natsumi handed the two pieces of broken paper to Lupin III, who glanced at them and then said softly:
“...... Easter eggs named 'Memories'...... Castle ...... in Yokosuka"
Listening to Lupin III's words, Kasaka Natsumi was stunned for a moment: "...... How do you know about the ...... of Yokosuka Castle"
Lupin the Third did not answer, stared at the piece of paper for a while, then stood up, returned the piece to Natsumi Kasaka, and said with a smile:
"Miss Kasaka, thank you for your hospitality, and thank you for telling us this news. By the way, you are as pretty, beautiful as your mother......"
Lupin III finished speaking, turned around and walked outside the cake shop, and Daisuke Jigen also stood up and followed, leaving Natsumi Kasaka confused.
Lupin the Third and Daisuke Jigen walked out of the cake shop, and Daisuke Jigen took his pockets in both hands and asked casually, "...... Lupin, do you have a new goal?"
"That's right, I have to go to Japan and get the 'Egg of Memory'......" Lupin III suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the monkey's face was rarely serious:
“...... For a woman who once wanted to wander the world with me......"
"Hmm...... I see. Daisuke suddenly realized, and then squinted at Lupin III, "...... So is this your affair again?"
Listening to the words of Ji Yuan Daisuke, Lupin III stumbled and almost didn't fall, then scratched his head and squinted: "...... Hahaha! I can't say that! I'm just a very good friend......
After a pause, Lupin the Third said softly as if nostalgic:
“...... She said that if I could help her recover the 'Egg of Memory' before she was twenty-five, she would leave everything behind and go with me, but unfortunately I didn't do it......"
“...... Now, I need to send the 'Egg of Memory'...... Even if she's dead......"
Damn, this is a romantic debt, okay?!
Jigen Daisuke glanced at Lu Bang, reached out and pressed the hat on his head, and reminded, "...... But, Lupin, this art exhibition belongs to Suzuki's family, have you forgotten the previous 'Soul of the Sea'? That soul slayer is not a fuel-efficient lamp......
"Uh......" Lupin III remembered a certain pit spirit slayer, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and then he said uncertainly, "...... I think we've been targeted by the Soul Killer before because the Soul Killer is the master of the 'Soul of the Sea'. This time, our target 'Egg of Memory' is a treasure from the Suzuki Foundation, and the Soul Remover has a good relationship with us, so he shouldn't be ......able to make a move."
"Hmm......" Daisuke was silent for a long time before he spoke:
“...... Perhaps. ”
......
Nine o'clock in the evening.
The exhibition room of the Suzuki family.
After Shu Yunwen and the others had dinner, the servants of the Suzuki family had already placed the artworks that were going to be exhibited in the exhibition room for Shu Yunwen and others to enjoy.
Shu Yunwen circled twice in front of a pile of artworks, and finally stood in front of the display table with the "Egg of Memory".
In front of the booth, Suzumi Tsukamoto and Loriai were listening to the garden introduce the "Egg of Memories"-
The shell of this "egg" is green all over, and there are some peculiar patterns on it. After opening the "egg", inside is a golden statue made of gold of the last emperor's family reading a book together. In addition, there is a mechanism inside the "egg", and after turning it with a key, there will be an action of a golden puppet turning over the book, which is ingenious.
Shu Yunwen leaned aside and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "...... This 'egg of memory' is quite interesting!"
Shu Yunwen's words fell, Suzuki Ayako walked up to Shu Yunwen's side, smiled and said, "...... Yoon-sama, if you like the 'Egg of Memory', I'll give it to you......"
"Hmm, give it to me?" Shu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, a little confused.
Ayako Suzuki whispered again, "...... Mr. Robert's thing, we did it ourselves......"
Hearing Ayako Suzuki's words, Shu Yunwen suddenly understood-
This is the Suzuki family apologizing for Robert's matter! Don't look at the person who speaks is Ayako Suzuki, in fact, the people who call the shots are definitely Shiro Suzuki and his wife!
However, don't we all say that we don't care and are too lazy to care, why do we insist on sending things?
Shu Yunwen complained a few words in his heart, then looked at the "Egg of Memory" with his eyes, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "...... Okay, I took the 'Egg of Memory', thank you......"
This thing was taken by the Suzuki family to apologize, if he didn't accept it, the Suzuki family might think that he was still thinking about Robert's business, so it was better to accept it!~
Besides, this "Egg of Memory" is really interesting, and it seems to be good to take it home as a collection!~
