Chapter 2: The First

"Nai Ho Bridge" coffee shop.

This is a maid café, and with a strange name and a difficult "Meng Po soup", it is still relatively famous in the 39th place of 5-chome in Rice Flower Town.

More famous than the Maori detective agency upstairs.

But that was before, and now, the Maori detective agency has a Grim Reaper elementary school student who will have an accident wherever he goes, and his reputation will rise quickly.

For coffee shops, Maolilan is also relatively familiar, after all, it was opened by classmates, and that kind of strange coffee ......

It's really impressive, she doesn't understand why this classmate of hers would make such a coffee that doesn't look like coffee, not only does it taste different, but it also looks far behind.

The dark green bubbles and looks like poison.

But she still likes to cheer for Qingming.

Maybe I think it's not easy for a foreign student to live here alone.

She was always so gentle.

Qingming told her not to be so gentle with everyone, because it is easy to misunderstand, and sometimes it is a mistake to be too gentle.

But she didn't understand, so she was still so gentle.

After school, I went upstairs to put my things and went straight downstairs.

She planned to go to the coffee shop to find Qingming, because Qingming didn't go to class today.

In her opinion, Qingming is good for everything, but this is not very good, and she may not be able to go to class one day a week, and she is almost about to become a legend in school.

And because she knew that she lived close to Qingming, the head teacher also entrusted her to see what was going on with Qingming.

So as soon as school ended, she came.

It's just that as soon as I entered the door, I noticed that something seemed wrong.

Although the coffee shop is a quieter place, it is more or less noisy.

But today, there's an eerie quietness.

Yes, it's weird.

If I'm not mistaken, Qingming, who was sitting at the counter, was usually reading there with a book in his hand.

A book that looks like it has been handed down from ancient times, and he can often be seen holding it in his hand and flipping through it.

But I didn't look at it today, the books were on the counter, and my eyes were fixed on a certain spot in the coffee shop, not far in front of the counter.

There were also a few customers in the coffee shop, all of whom were regulars, but they were all staring at that location at this time.

The only maid in the café, Miss Enomoto Azusa, who was standing in front of the counter in a black and white maid outfit, also looked at the place, and she didn't even seem to feel it when she came in.

"What's going on?"

Mao Lilan was a little surprised, the atmosphere was a little quiet.

What's going on?

I followed everyone's gaze, but found that it was a young girl, a girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a sailor suit, and it was estimated that she had just finished school and ran over without changing her clothes.

But that's not the point, the point is that she is holding a clear glass with a dark green liquid inside.

"This is ......"

At this moment, even Mao Lilan's eyes widened, expressing incredible.

The transparent glass contains the kind of "Meng Po soup" that no one can drink, and only this "Meng Po soup" is transparent, saying that it is said that everyone can see it and prevent fraud.

So if anyone drinks it, they can see it immediately.

Naturally, it can immediately attract everyone's attention.

When I looked closely, I found that there were two transparent cups on the table where the girl was, and they were empty.

"Ah Zi, how many drinks has she had?"

Qingming also seemed a little incredulous.

He made his own coffee, and he knew that it was great for ordinary people to drink a few sips, but no one had ever been able to drink a cup.

In fact, even he didn't want to drink it himself, let alone anyone else.

But the girl ......

"It's the third cup."

The only maid, Miss Enomoto Azusa, replied with a deep admiration in her tone.

For the first time, it was the first time I saw someone who was able to drink three glasses in a row.

She has been working here for half a year, and it is the first time she has seen such a person, and she is still an underage girl.

High school student? Or junior high school students?

Anyway, as the first person to drink three glasses, it is estimated that she will go down in history.

Well, at least in the history of the coffee shop.

The girl didn't care about the eyes of others.

Or maybe she didn't notice that someone was looking at her, tilting her head up, "coo-dong".

After a while, he put the cup on the table, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look at the counter.

"Mr. shopkeeper, after drinking three glasses, can you fulfill my wish?"

“……”

"Wow!"

The guests were silent at first, then exclaimed.

Looking at the way he didn't frown, he obviously drank very easily.

Is this really still the legendary "Meng Po soup" that is difficult to swallow?

All were a little skeptical.

Even Qingming was a little skeptical that he had made a mistake in the process of concoction, which caused the taste to change.

But now is not the time to dwell on that.

His fingers tapped on the table, he didn't expect anyone to be able to drink it.

Of course, I didn't expect anyone to guess that the coffee shop in the urban legend was him.

But the words are all said, so naturally they can only cash in.

"Of course, what do you want?"

Nodding, he began to ask again.

Wishes, as long as they don't want to become gods, want to live forever or anything like that, he can generally find a way to help the other party realize it.

A young girl shouldn't make any unattainable wishes, right?

"That's great!"

The girl was immediately happy, and her eyebrows were smiling.

Quickly left the position and ran to the counter.

Azusa Enomoto also reacted and prepared to entertain the guests.

Suddenly, he found Mao Lilan standing aside and hurriedly walked over.

"Welcome, Miss Lan."

"Eh, eh!"

Before Mao Lilan could say anything, Qingming over there turned his head directly.

It seems to sigh, and it seems to be a little serious.

"Ah Zi, how many times have I told you? Don't say anything welcome, you're a maid, maid, don't forget your role, you should say something like 'welcome back, master', understand? ”

"Hey, hey!"

Enomoto Zi responded perfunctorily, and it seemed that he didn't plan to do what Qingming said at all.

Qingming wanted to say something, but the girl who ran in front of her spoke.

"Let's talk about your affairs later, help me make my wish come true first."

"Oh, you say, what wish?"

The customer is God.

Although Qingming does not believe in God, he still has to put the affairs of the guests first.

Moreover, he also wanted to know what the girl's wish was, so that he could come here and drink three cups of coffee that was so unpalatable that he could make it happen.

Azusa Enomoto and Moriran also looked at her, as if they wanted to know what their wish was.

The girl was completely unconscious, and perhaps it was easy for her to drink three cups of coffee like that.

"I want you to help me find someone."

“…… Ha? ”

Get?

Qingming felt a little incredible.

Just to find someone, he drank three cups of coffee that even he, the maker, didn't want to drink......

"Who's looking for?"

"Detective Shinichi Kudo."

"Kudo Shinichi ......"

Qingming looked at Mao Lilan on the side, and then looked at the girl.

I guess no one can find that high school detective now, unless that little ghost is bigger.

It's a bit tricky.

Fingers tapped on the table and thought for a moment.

He asked again.

"What are you looking for him?"

"Let him help me find someone!"

The girl looked right.

Otherwise, what would you do with a detective? Of course, there is something to be done with a detective.

As for finding someone, why don't you ask the police for help......

Well, in this era of high crime rates, in this era when the police have not been able to cope well with the challenges, detectives are much more popular than the police, especially capable detectives.

As a result, the status of detectives has skyrocketed, and even many times, even the police are willing to go to these detectives for help.

However, Qingming and the others felt a little winding.

Even Maorilan found out.

"You asked Qingmingjun to help you find Shinichi, so that Shinichi could help you find someone...... Wouldn't it be better to just let Qingming Jun help you find someone? ”

“……”

There was silence.

"Huh! That's right! ”

The girl suddenly realized, patted her forehead, and seemed to finally react.

So this child, is it actually natural?
