Tickets to Okinawa
Fujino first went back to the fourth floor to pick up a handbag, and then went back to the third floor.
Push open the bedroom door.
The first thing you see is Akemi Miyano sitting on the sofa, watching TV with an iced cola in her hand.
"Sister Akemi, where's Ai?"
Fujino took off his shoes and went into the room.
"Ai is in her own room."
Hearing the sound, Akemi Miyano placed the cola on the coffee table, stood up, and said worriedly, "She's been like this lately, always holed up in her room, seems to be playing on the computer... She even forgot to make dinner..."
"Maybe they found something fun online."
Fujino thought for a moment and then explained.
He does know what Ai Haibara is doing.
They must be working overtime to research A-drug, right?
Even so, he probably wouldn't forget to make dinner...
Could it be that there has been a breakthrough in finding an antidote for A-drug?
To be honest, he was a little curious.
Why did she still Ai Haibara?
"Then I won't trouble you two tonight, I'll do the cooking." Fujino took on the task of cooking.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Fujino- kun."
Akemi Miyano nodded, glanced at the handbag Fujino had just placed on the coffee table, and asked curiously, "What's in the handbag...?"
"Oh, you mean this?"
Fujino picked up the tote bag, took out the bag, and explained, "This is the Fusae Bag that the client gave me a few days ago. I figured I wouldn't need it, so I thought I'd come over and show you two if you want it."
"What an exquisite bag..."
Akemi Miyano glanced at the bag.
She thought for a moment and remembered seeing this kind of bag when she went shopping with Ai before; it seemed to be quite expensive.
However, she wasn't interested in these bags, since each one cost hundreds of thousands of yen. She would rather use that money to buy groceries or supplement her household income.
Thinking of this, she shook her head and said softly, "I'll give it to Ai. I remember she really likes the brand Fusae. She'll be very happy if I give it to her."
"Okay, I'll give it to Ai in Ai."
Fujino placed the tote bag on the coffee table, then turned and walked towards the kitchen, putting on an apron...
[P. S.: Just a quick update. I've already described this briefly in the previous text, but I cut this part out during the editing process. Actually, Fujino's name in his previous life was Fujino, so he prefers to be called Fujino. Everyone around him was just tricked and swayed by him.]
Dinner was prepared quickly.
Fujino washed the grease off his hands at the sink before serving the food he had just prepared.
"Tonight's dinner was also very sumptuous... Your cooking skills are still as good as ever."
Akemi Miyano came out of the bathroom, washed her hands, and took a sniff of the aroma of the food. "I'll go Ai to eat now."
"I'll go."
Fujino interrupted Akemi Miyano, picking up the handbag from the coffee table. "Give her this bag while you're at it."
In the dimly lit room.
Ai Haibara, wearing a red sleeveless sweater and light brown shorts, sat at her desk, her eyes fixed on the glowing computer screen, her fingers rapidly and rhythmically tapping on the keyboard.
After this period of research and development, it won't be long before she can develop the first generation of antidote...
Ai Haibara paused, rubbing her slightly sore eyes.
She stood up, stretched, and glanced at the time on her phone.
"Is it already eight o'clock?"
Ai Haibara was startled, then quickly slapped her forehead, "I forgot to cook..."
"Knock knock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Hearing the sound, she turned and went to the door.
Pushing open the door, I saw Fujino wearing pajamas and an apron over her shoulders.
Fujino glanced around the dimly lit room, looked down at Ai Haibara, and said, "Remember to turn on the lights when you're using the computer, or your eyes won't be able to take it."
"Okay, I understand. I'll turn on the light next time."
Ai Haibara nodded. "Oh right, I haven't made dinner yet. You must be hungry after a long day, right? I'll go make some now."
"It's alright, I've already prepared dinner, and I was just about to call you to eat."
With that, Fujino handed the tote bag in his hand to Ai Haibara.
Ai Haibara took the handbag with a puzzled look, glanced at it, and asked in surprise, "This is... Fusae's bag?"
Despite her shrunken body, she remains intelligent and still finds herself unable to resist Fusae's bags...
But then she thought better of it and handed the bag back.
Ai Haibara looked up at Fujino and said seriously, "I remember this bag costs four or five hundred thousand yen. It's too expensive. Let's take it back and return it tomorrow."
Knowing about designer handbags, she naturally knew that this one bag was worth hundreds of thousands of yen.
She was unaware of the details regarding the amount Fujino had requested.
But she knew that a detective's commission would only cost around 100,000 yen per case, and at most a few hundred thousand.
Akemi Miyano's Snow King Ice City Akemi Miyano also earns her several hundred thousand yen a month.
This one bag is almost equivalent to a large expense.
Although she loves bags, she doesn't want to add any burden to this 'home'.
"Okay, this bag was given to me by the client and I didn't pay for it... Sister Akemi doesn't like carrying this kind of bag, so even if I wanted to return it, I wouldn't be able to find a place to return it."
Fujino glanced down at Ai Haibara expression and naturally saw through her little scheme. He then squatted down and patted her head. "If you don't like it, I'll give it to someone else."
"..."
Ai Haibara froze, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Fujino removed his hand. She smoothed her disheveled short hair and whispered, "I quite like it."
"That's good."
Fujino handed the bag to Ai Haibara, "Put the bag away carefully and remember to come out and eat."
"Um."
Ai Haibara took the handbag, placed it on her bed, and smiled slightly, feeling exceptionally happy.
After dinner, it was almost nine o'clock.
Several people sat around the sofa, watching the evening television program.
Ai Haibara suddenly pulled out a few plane tickets from her pocket, placed them on the coffee table, and said, "A few days ago, Professor Agasa won a few plane tickets to Okinawa while surfing the internet. When I went to his house, he gave me a few tickets and invited us to travel to Okinawa together."
After a pause, she asked Fujino and Akemi Miyano, "Are you free the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow?"
Fujino picked up the plane ticket from the coffee table and glanced at it.
The departure time on the plane ticket is the day after tomorrow.
This is a bit of a problem... He's currently triggering the high-yield customer effect of the invitation voucher, and if he leaves now to travel to Okinawa, the high-yield customer might just disappear.
After thinking it over, Fujino finally decided to go on a trip to Okinawa for a few days.
He's been waiting for this high-value customer for four days already. If he goes tomorrow and they don't come back the day after, it would be a waste of his time to keep waiting, which would be foolish.
Before we knew it, the day arrived when the plane was ready to take off.
"Ding-dong!"
Just as the group finished packing their luggage in Fujino's room and were preparing to go to the airport, the doorbell of the detective agency rang.
Upon hearing this, Fujino paused in packing his luggage.
Could it be a high-value client who's arrived...?
Today is Ke Xue's Saturday. Usually, clients do visit on Saturdays.
But of all things, the holiday he was supposed to take a few days ago didn't come, and today, the holiday he was planning to have for a trip, has arrived...
This client is a bit of a jerk.
Fujino thought for a moment, explained the situation to Ai Haibara Akemi Miyano, and then, filled with curiosity, went up the stairs to the entrance of the detective agency on the second floor.
As soon as he went downstairs, he saw a girl standing upright in front of the detective agency, patiently waiting.
The girl was pretty, with short, wavy brown hair, wearing a yellow plaid dress and white high heels.
She has a pure and lively appearance, but her demeanor is also composed.
"Miss Momiji?"
