Amuro Tooru, the Working Emperor

Poro Cafe across from the Fujino family's house.

At this moment, Fujino was sitting at a wooden table, looking at the dark-skinned, blond-haired man in a coffee shop uniform not far from him with a strange expression.

That blond guy was none other than Bourbon, the "successor" of the Alcohol Company, also known as Amuro Tooru, and nicknamed Furuya Rei Amuro Tooru, the "Working Emperor" (Kōbu Emperor).

Fujino seemed a little confused about Amuro Tooru's sudden decision to work here.

Is this guy here to spy on him?

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

Normally, if his identity had been exposed, he should have been killed long ago.

After a moment's thought, Fujino frowned, completely baffled as to what this "Working Emperor" intended to do.

So I simply stopped thinking about it.

Since it's Touko, there's a high probability that nothing will happen to him. Although he works for the Alcohol Company, he's actually an undercover agent for the Japan Public Security Bureau.

It's fake liquor.

Ran and Sonoko, sitting to the side, looked quite different from Fujino, whose face was full of strange expressions.

The two of them blinked, looking left at Fujino and right at Amuro Tooru, as if they had discovered a new continent.

As for Amuro Tooru, he was carrying a plate while glancing at Fujino out of the corner of his eye.

His expression was particularly complex, though no one else noticed it.

To be honest, he was a little confused too.

The scene became strange for a moment.

What do you need?

At that moment, Amuro Tooru walked over first, greeted Fujino, and concealed his surprise.

"By the way, you seem to be a new face. I've never seen you before. Are you new here?"

At that moment, Fujino suddenly mentioned it.

"That's how it is."

Amuro Tooru smiled and nodded. "My name is Amuro Tooru. I only started working here occasionally yesterday."

"So that's how it is..."

Fujino nodded. "Regular pasta will do."

Immediately, Amuro Tooru turned his gaze to Ran and Sonoko: "So, what would you two ladies like?"

"Crepes, please."

"Me too."

"OK."

Amuro Tooru skillfully memorized the key points, nodded, and then turned and headed towards the kitchen.

After Amuro Tooru left, Ran and Sonoko turned to Fujino with a question in their eyes, "Fujino- Senior, do you really not know Mr. Amuro?"

"How could I possibly know him?"

Fujino chuckled softly, "I think you two are overthinking it."

To be honest, he noticed it too.

He does indeed bear a striking resemblance to Amuro Tooru.

No, rather than saying it's similar, it's more like just a different skin...

Could it be that some old scoundrel from the 73rd century has been slacking off again?

"But you two really look alike!"

"It's probably just a coincidence that Mr. Amuro looks like me. After all, there are quite a few people in this world who look alike."

After a pause, Fujino continued, "Perhaps Ran and Sonoko, you will also meet someone who looks exactly like you."

The two simply nodded in disbelief and didn't ask any more questions.

He thought to himself, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

How could there possibly be two people in the world who look exactly alike?

Ran and Sonoko thought to themselves.

At that moment, a small figure was perched on the windowsill outside the coffee shop window.

Conan stared at Amuro Tooru in the coffee shop, his brows furrowing slightly.

Just now, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if he had encountered the people from the Alcohol Company.

That sense of crisis didn't come from Fujino, but from that dark-skinned guy!

He became puzzled.

Fujino is one thing, but why does that Xiao Hei make him feel scared?

Could it be because the dark-skinned guy's face looks too much like Fujino's?

Am I being neurotic?

After having breakfast at Beetle Cafe, Fujino and his group drove to Sayuri Matsumoto's wedding venue.

The wedding venue was already packed with people, including many celebrities who frequently make the news.

Along the way, Sonoko and Ran greeted their former classmates or seniors.

As for Fujino, he didn't really have anything to say to him.

The main problem was that he didn't recognize many of the people there, and not a single one even greeted him.

That's true.

The original owner of this body was actually a withdrawn young man, so withdrawn that he didn't like to talk to others, and therefore didn't make any friends, whether in elementary school or junior high school.

Because of her excellent grades, she appeared somewhat aloof, and coupled with the fact that her parents were tycoon business owners, she aroused the envy of many people.

Playing pranks out of nowhere is a common occurrence.

Of course, unlike Kudo's arrogance, his aloofness is genuine.

Actually, if you think about it carefully...

Back then, thanks to his good looks and aloof demeanor, quite a few girls pursued him.

Unfortunately, he failed to seize the opportunity.

"Matsumoto- sensei!"

Sonoko was the first to push open the door to the bride's preparation room.

The woman who came into view was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She was wearing a pure white off-the-shoulder long Western-style wedding dress. Her hair was tied up high and adorned with several white flowers. Extending from the white flowers, a white veil stretched from the top of her head to her back. Her arms were wrapped in long, hazy white gloves, which looked like white silk.

The beautiful Fujino remembered that it was clearly the protagonist of this wedding, Sayuri Matsumoto.

Ran, Sonoko, Conan were all momentarily stunned by the beauty before them.

Fujino frowned slightly, pondering to himself.

He remembered that back then, quite a few boys had a crush on her.

After all, with her looks, she's attractive to all ages.

Pulling herself together, Fujino turned her gaze to Conan was standing there dumbfounded.

Back when Conan was Kudo Shinichi, he seemed to have pretended to be stupid in an attempt to attract attention because he had a crush on Sayuri Matsumoto.

However, as a result, he received a good lesson from Sayuri Matsumoto.

"Ah, Ran, Sonoko."

Noticing the group of people who entered, Sayuri greeted them first, but when she looked at Fujino, she became puzzled. "And who is this...?"

Fujino: "..."

Therefore, he doesn't want to attend weddings where he hasn't been invited by people he knows.

It's awkward when you know someone new, but they don't know you.

"Matsumoto- sensei, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Fujino revealed a dead fish eye. "Fujino Doji, you once taught me."

"How could I possibly forget you, you eccentric boy who always sings off-key?"

Upon hearing the name, Sayuri Matsumoto suddenly realized who it was.

Aside from Kudo Shinichi, this guy was probably the only one who left a deep impression on her.

Her off-key singing is comparable to Kudo Shiwako's, and her arrogance far surpasses that of Shiwako.

Of course, unlike Kudo Shinichi who was deliberately playing dumb, Fujino was genuinely...
