Afternoon.

Nai Ho Bridge Coffee Shop.

"Please bring me a cup of coffee."

"Get me a cake, hurry."

“……”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Girls who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old in height ran back and forth to bring coffee and cakes to the guests.

Azusa Enomoto stood in front of the counter, a little speechless.

"Shopkeeper, there are more customers!"

"More is more."

Qingming didn't care about these at all, and was still reading the novel in his hand.

It's as if girls aren't as attractive as novels.

Enomoto azusa didn't care about that.

At this moment, she was more concerned with other issues.

"Now, shopkeeper, I'm also a waiter, why didn't anyone call me?"

"What waiter, you're obviously a maid."

"Shopkeeper, seriously......"

Enomoto Azusa gave up looking at the guests and Akane, turned around and looked back at Kiyoshi.

She really didn't understand.

"Before today, the coffee shop had no customers as always, and even if I went out to hand out flyers, it was useless."

She said.

In fact, it is.

At the beginning, business was okay, although it was not hot, but at least it was not starving.

Later, it seems that since the time when Qingming provoked the witch, business has been getting worse and worse day by day, especially in the recent period, there are almost no customers coming, and there are only one or two occasionally.

But now, it's full.

Obviously, it was just one more little girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old, and it was just a morning and noon, and such a huge change occurred.

"So, what's the reason for that?"

As he spoke, he looked back at the hall full of guests.

"Why are there so many guests today? It's unscientific to think about it, it can't be that you used some kind of witchcraft to do it, right? ”

"I don't know witchcraft, I only know Taoism."

Qingming corrected a sentence.

Although Taoism, witchcraft, and even magic and the like, sometimes it's pretty much the same.

Of course, there is no difference between gods and demons in the world, but human beings do not know why, and they call those who do good deeds gods and those who do bad things as demons.

But at the end of the day, it's hard to say whether God exists or not.

Maybe it's just that ignorant humans call powerful Taoist priests, witches, and the like "gods" or "demons".

"Hmmm......"

Qingming suddenly thought of something.

Since there are Taoist priests, witches, or something, will there be monsters?

I've never encountered it at all.,But you really can't deny the existence of the other party.,Maybe one day all kinds of monsters will pop up.。

But it doesn't matter.

Raising his head, he glanced at Akane, who was busy, and then glanced at the situation in the hall.

Then he retracted his gaze and continued reading the novel.

And Enomoto Azusa continued to speak.

"So these people were really attracted to Akane, right? Absolutely, right? ”

"Oh, here it is, the old woman's jealousy of the young girl."

"You're an old woman!"

Enomoto Azusa glared at Qingming, expressing her displeasure.

Is she old?

No, it's not old at all, it's still very young, and it's not long since I've just been freed from the sea of books, how can I be old.

So definitely not for that reason.

"Obviously, these people are lolicons, lolitcons like the shopkeeper you."

“……”

Qingming looked innocent.

"When did I become Lolicon?"

After speaking, without waiting for Enomoto Azusa to say anything, his eyes glanced at the hall again.

Then shrug.

"These people are Lolita, I don't object, after all, aren't most of the neon people Lolita? Oh, there's also the ghost father.,Ahhh ”

After speaking, he raised the novel in his hand again.

"Like this uncle."

“……”

Azusa Enomoto looked at him with slanted eyes.

Then turn around and leave.

"I'm going to make coffee and make cake."

"So women!"

Qingming shook his head.

But he still didn't care about anything, lowered his head, and continued to read the novel.

……

Evening.

The café was bustling for a long time.

In the evening, there are still many customers who drink coffee and eat cake, and it seems that they plan to eat coffee and cake for dinner.

So Akane, who had been busy all afternoon, still couldn't rest.

There was a "ding" sound, and another guest came in.

"Welcome."

Azusa Enomoto, who had been reduced to a chef and a hostess, walked up with a stiff smile.

I found that someone I knew came in, and the smile on my face softened.

"Miss Lan."

"Miss Azi, it seems to be very busy today."

"yes, there are a lot of guests."

Azusa Enomoto nodded.

It was Xiaolan and Conan who came in, and it is estimated that they just came in to have a look.

Xiaolan and Enomoto Azusa talked, but Conan kept frowning.

Maybe thinking about something.

But after all, I couldn't come up with an answer, so I gave up for the time being and visited the coffee shop after a long time.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by Akane, who was busy with work.

Of course, the main thing is the appearance, which is too similar, too similar to "Masami Hirota".

No, it's not just "like" that can be described, if you zoom in a little, it is estimated that it is exactly the same.

If it weren't for the completely different heights, he would have suspected that the girl in front of him and "Masami Hirota" were the same person.

Unfortunately, not.

"Masami Hirota" is already dead, he saw with his own eyes, was shot and fell in a pool of blood, and has been taken away by the police.

Next, if you can't find a family member or something, you will be sent to a crematorium.

Anyway, there is a process for this, so let's not talk about it for now.

"Sister Azi, who is that sister? New to the scene? ”

"Huh?"

Azusa Enomoto looked at Conan and then at Akane.

Xiaolan also looked over and felt a little puzzled.

"Really, Qingming has actually recruited people, but wouldn't it be good to be so young?"

Is this child labor?

The devil knows, Qingming won't care anyway.

"That's Akane, I just came here today."

Azusa Enomoto explained.

Although I have always felt that the name "Qian" was said casually by Qingming to fool her, and between Qingming and "Qian", there must be some ulterior secrets.

At least that's what she thinks.

But about this, she didn't say it.

But then again......

"Shopkeeper, where did you find such a little girl?"

"Picked it up."

“……”

So he wisely ignored Qingming and continued to chat with Xiaolan.

Conan was thoughtful.

Look at Qingming, and then look at Akane over there.

He suddenly had a bold idea, that is, "Masami Hirota" is not dead, like him, he became smaller because of the drug, and then appeared here in Qingming, and between "Masami Hirota" and Qingming, there may be something......

Well, pure nonsense.

The corpses are all there, saying that they are not dead, who will believe them?

He doesn't believe in it anyway, he believes in science, he believes in absolute science, and he doesn't believe in anything else at all except science.

But Qingming is a ......

"Maybe we'll have to find a way to investigate and see what kind of person he is."

Conan thought.

But he didn't know how to investigate at all, and Qingming was not a neon person, but a Chinese person.

He didn't have any friends in Huaxia or anything like that, and his parents probably couldn't help in this regard, so the investigation was just an empty word.

Sure enough, there is no way to take Qingming.
