Shiraishi answered the door, looked down at Conan, and politely drove away the guest: "I want to change my clothes, and then I'm busy with the café, you can go back first." ”

"Oh, good." Conan glanced in the direction of the front door.

After leaving Shiraishi's house, he trotted around to the floor-to-ceiling window of the café and glanced inside.

There was only the female employee in the room who loved to laugh, but the laughter inexplicably made people chill behind her back, and there were no other suspicious people.

Conan intuitively thought that even if the black cat hadn't left fingerprints on the tape, he must have seen the extra mysterious person.

Fingerprints are very inconspicuous in everyday life and are usually not remembered.

Conan used this question as a starting point, but also wanted to take the opportunity to get Shiraishi to contact the black cat so that he could eavesdrop on himself - I didn't know that he was next to him, and the black cat might say something leaky.

But what Conan didn't expect was that Shiraishi didn't mention contacting the other party, and just recited it...... This is very counterintuitive.

Could it be that the black cat had a criminal record before and was caught because of his fingerprints? That's why Shiraishi remembered his fingerprints, and he also learned his lesson, regardless of winter and summer, always wearing gloves to appear?

With his style and character, the more I think about it, the more likely I feel is ......

As he nodded secretly, the butterfly shinobi in the café suddenly raised his head and smiled at him through the glass.

“！” Conan smiled at her dryly, said hello with a child's innocent smile, and turned to go upstairs.

Since Shiraishi is very busy today, let's wait for him to finish his work and think of another entry point......

……

Ten minutes later, Shiraishi pushed the door open and walked into the café.

Shinobu was standing at the counter, and next to her was a neat package, just big enough to fit a pot.

Shiraishi looked at the burden and was stunned for a moment, then thought about the date again, and understood.

A piece of crystals can employ employees for thirty natural days, although he didn't calculate carefully, but by now, it has indeed been almost thirty days.

But she's the only one in the card pool, what are you doing now with this picture of packing your luggage, go through the process?

Shiraishi was a little puzzled.

"You're really slow...... "Shinobu retracted his gaze from the clock and instructed, "There are 2 minutes and 34 seconds left, and it's time to hire." After I'm gone, please don't draw the card right away, wait half an hour before drawing. ”

"Okay." Shiraishi was a little curious, "What kind of metaphysics is this?" "Can you go from SR to SSR?

Butterfly smiled slyly: "Secret." ”

"...... okay."

Soon, Butterfly Shinobu walked to the door of the café with her small package, and the moment she went out, she seemed to have passed through some invisible barrier and gradually disappeared.

Shiraishi waved at her in a casual manner.

He has always been good at following advice, and he has not been less engaged in metaphysical summoning.

Open the employee management, wait for half an hour for the summoning array, and at the moment when the second hand coincides with the position when the butterfly ninja left, Shiraishi accurately opened the summoning.

The pile of cards in the center of the screen shuffled for a while, and soon, a card the size of a business card popped up.

Shiraishi glanced across the screen and then looked at the door, intending to say hello to the re-entering Butterfly Shinobi and ask her to put the abducted pot back in its place.

However, glancing at the screen, the text on it was completely different from what he had imagined.

【[R] Momiji】

“……？？？”

A question mark popped up from the top of the white stone, Butterfly Ninja-sama? This is what you taught me about metaphysics?

…… This is a metaphysics that will not be drawn 100% of the time!

The corner of his eye couldn't help but jump twice, and at that moment, the wind chimes at the door jingled with a crisp sound.

Shiraishi looked up from behind the counter and saw a straight black sister wearing a cheongsam walking in outside the door.

"It's Mr. Shiraishi."

Momiji stepped on a pair of high heels and clicked closer, she took off her sunglasses, pinned them to the neckline at random, and reached out to shake Shiraishi.

Then he didn't waste a second, his wrist flipped over, and his palm spread out in front of Shiraishi's eyes.

…… At that moment, looking at her open hand towards him, Shiraishi seemed to see an eight-headed version of the Q version of the assistant, and his first reaction was to quickly hide his wallet.

However, the situation was not quite what he thought.

"Listen to Shinobi, you want to develop a poison?"

Momiji's voice is soft, but he speaks faster than others, revealing a kind of urgency as if he is in a hurry: "Give me the information, I'm better at chemistry than her." ”

……

Ten minutes later, Momiji turned to the last page of APTX4869 information.

Shiraishi was amazed at her scanner-like reading speed, and secretly thought that in the past thirty days, the fox might have been honorably retired from ghostwriting.

Just as he was thinking about it, the wind chimes on the door rang again.

As soon as Baishi followed the sound, he saw another person standing at the door, looking in.

- Something like this has happened five or six times just now.

At first, Shiraishi thought they were the spirits attracted by the food on the shelves. But he soon realized that something was wrong - these people didn't know how to break through the door, they were just ordinary passers-by, pushing the door and asking if the store was open.

Sending people away again, Shiraishi had to find another small blackboard, write "closed", and put it at the door.

As for why this phenomenon suddenly appeared......

Needless to say, it must have something to do with the new employees at the counter.

"That." Faced with Shiraishi's question, Momiji crackled on the notebook he took out out of nowhere, and said casually:

"It's my own buff, 'Money Tide'. Now I'm sitting in the store, so the effect it shows is to attract customers. ”

Baishi's eyes lit up when he heard this buff, but after remembering the title party attribute of the system, he suddenly became alert and suppressed the excitement in his heart again.

When it comes to this topic, there is a question that cannot be left unasked: "The buff you said, Butterfly Ninja also has?" ”

"Of course." Momiji is very skilled at dual-tasking, and her hands on the keyboard do not stop for a moment, and she still has time to answer questions, "She can repel mosquitoes and promote plant growth - haven't you noticed that there are no bugs around the room?" ”

“…… I thought there were no bugs because of the strange climate. ”

I've been watching people typing on the keyboard, and I'm still a little sleepy, but Shiraishi slowly reacted, and it didn't help him to stay here, so it was better to go back to the house to make up for sleep.

But as soon as he stood up, Momiji suddenly stopped him and turned the computer on his lap around, with the screen facing him - there was a budget sheet on it.

"I can't afford to sell it." Bai Shi stared at the last string of zeros and let out a poor sigh, "Why don't we study this medicine?" ”

“？” Momiji looked up at him for a while, and quickly estimated the boss's selling price in her heart, and after calculating, she felt that Shiraishi had underestimated herself too much, "In any way, you are still worth 250,000 yen." ”

“…… I just made an analogy! Bai Shi was suddenly a little frightened, and decided to immediately add "forbidden to sell bosses" to the new store rules, "Also, what 250,000?" You're at least two or three digits more than 250,000. ”

Momiji leaned over to look at the computer screen suspiciously, and after a moment, she showed a clear expression: "The bottom right corner is the final budget, here-" She reached out and tapped in the upper left corner, "This is the initial capital needed." ”

The red nails that had been dyed with Kodan were reflected in Bai Shi's eyes, and he instantly thought of the red buckle lettering.

"250,000 yen......" Shiraishi covered his eyes with one hand and sighed in disbelief, "To be honest, did you peek at my passbook?" ”

"Nope." Momiji shook his head solemnly, "This is the minimum requirement - rest assured, after earning the necessary research funds and the cost of purchasing new equipment for Shinobi, I will return the capital to you." ”

“……”

……

Shiraishi suddenly became poor again.

However, because he has become poor too many times, he has actually begun to get used to it compared to the previous times.

And Momiji said that she would repay the capital, she looks quite upright, not like the type who can joke, she should be able to speak.

…… Having said that, he just mentioned it casually at the time, and he didn't really have to study that kind of medicine!

……

Momiji seems to be planning to invest in both the chain and the chain, and after getting the funds, she leaves quickly.

When he heard that she was going to leave the store, Shiraishi was stunned for a moment, he remembered that Butterfly Shinobu had said that the clerk could not be five meters away from the store.

However, Momiji explained that her force value can only be counted as "N", and being classified as "R" is due to other bonuses, so she can freely enter and leave the café, and said that she will not make trouble outside, so that Shiraishi can rest assured.

…… It's impossible to be reassured, but it's useless not to be reassured.

Shiraishi decided to do his own thing first - go back to catch up on sleep, just like Butterfly Shinobu did when he was on duty.

But before he could stand up, a man approached and stopped at the door of the café.

It was a middle-aged man who looked like a civil servant, wearing an old dark blue suit and carrying a black briefcase, his expression and aura were serious, but the curls made him look less unapproachable.

…… Here we go again.

Bai Shi thought that he didn't see the small blackboard with the words "closed", and was about to go over to tell him that the store had not opened yet, but as soon as he got closer, he saw a middle-aged man look at the closed glass door a few times, and suddenly bowed slightly, and crept through the door.

In Shiraishi's complicated gaze, he lifted the metal-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose as usual, and found a nearby seat to sit down.

Then the polite Shiraishi nodded: "Coffee, thank you." ”
