"What's wrong?"
"Do you think there'll be a murder at the mall?" Narumi asked, looking around cautiously.
"I hope not..." Kurumi's tone was filled with helplessness.
86 Let's open a cat cafe! (I'm an idiot)
Conan's arrival, known for his Grim Reaper reputation, truly sent both of them into a state of panic.
However, this wasn't because Kurumi and Aso Narumi were afraid of getting hurt. It was more about the worry that while they were out shopping, someone might suddenly collapse and die next to them for no apparent reason.
They'd be stuck at the scene, questioned by the police, and might even have to play detective to solve the case.
To be honest, both Kurumi and Narumi were the type who disliked trouble. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, they really didn't want to get involved in such messy affairs.
Fortunately, Conan's Grim Reaper aura seemed to have failed him this time. By the time Kurumi had dragged Narumi to a clothing store to buy some outfits, they hadn't encountered any unexpected incidents along the way.
Inside the lingerie store.
Looking at the shop's colorful array of lingerie in various styles, Kurumi decided to buy a few more sets to replace the ones at home that she felt had become too small.
Skipping over the cute and demure styles without a second glance, Kurumi headed straight for the section that was undeniably alluring and designed to ignite passion.
"Sister Narumi, what do you think of this one?"
After browsing for a while, Kurumi took a black, semi-transparent lace set from the rack and casually held it up in front of Narumi.
Seeing the fabric in Kurumi's hand, Narumi, who was already quite innocent, shyly glanced around.
Even though all the shoppers in the store were women, Narumi still felt Kurumi's behavior was a bit inappropriate.
"Kurumi, speak a little quieter!" Narumi whispered, her face slightly flushed.
"Then, is this set perfect for me?" Hearing Narumi's reminder, Kurumi held the garment up against herself and asked softly.
The first impression Narumi got from the lingerie in Kurumi's hands was its size.
It was really big!
Secondly, the allure was off the charts!
From Narumi's perspective during this time, Kurumi's assets were not only impeccable in appearance and color but also felt wonderful to the touch, making her unable to put them down.
And if you added this semi-transparent lace style... the thought of Kurumi wearing this outfit made Narumi's heart pound.
"Yes! It's beautiful!"
With Narumi's affirmation, Kurumi prepared to find a sales assistant to ask about her size.
She also planned to pick out a few other styles in her favorite colors and designs.
Before going to the sales assistant, Kurumi took Narumi's hand, intending to have Narumi pick out some new clothes for herself as well.
Half an hour later, a satisfied Kurumi left the store with her shopping bags.
Narumi, trailing behind Kurumi, had a rosy complexion and was also carrying a bag filled with several sets that Kurumi had carefully chosen for her.
In the following time, Kurumi tirelessly bought a large amount of expensive clothing for both herself and Narumi. In total, the amount spent this time alone was probably over two hundred thousand yen.
Since they had too many shopping bags to carry, Kurumi and Narumi first returned to the car, dumped all the bags into the trunk, and then set off again on their delightful journey for two.
"Kurumi, do you think I should look for a job?"
On the drive home, Narumi suddenly asked.
"A job?" Kurumi looked puzzled. "Are you planning to become a doctor again, Sister Narumi?"
Kurumi knew that being a doctor was a very sought-after profession in Japan.
"Mmm..." Narumi thought for a moment. "Although I have a medical license, if I were to work at a hospital, I wouldn't have much time to take care of you~"
Narumi's words made Kurumi feel like she was being treated like a child.
"What are you talking about~ I'm an adult, you know!" Kurumi pouted unhappily, looking a bit sulky.
"Yes~ yes~ Kurumi-chan is also a 'bi~g' adult!" Seeing Kurumi's cute expression, Narumi glanced at the prominent area on Kurumi's chest that was emphasized by the seatbelt and teased, "You're really big~"
Kurumi, who was calmly driving, didn't see where Narumi's gaze was fixed, but she could tell from the tone that she was being teased.
Long past the age of being shy, Kurumi, who was already quite experienced, deliberately puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Of course! It's my pride!"
After saying that, Kurumi suddenly felt like the conversation had veered off track.
"Right, Sister Narumi, you still haven't said what kind of job you want to find. Isn't it good to stay at home?" Being able to live a carefree life as a shut-in was something Kurumi had always dreamed of.
"I haven't decided yet..." Narumi hesitated. She didn't want to always rely on Kurumi and be like a housewife. So, Narumi wanted to find a job that allowed for some rest time.
As for opening a clinic like they did on Moon Shadow Island, Narumi knew that opening a clinic in Tokyo involved a lot of complicated procedures, and the rent alone in Tokyo would be enough to deter her.
"Then why don't we open our own shop?" Kurumi's eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly struck her.
"Open a shop?"
"Yeah, like a coffee shop?" Kurumi thought about the coffee shops she remembered from the future that had a certain following, and said, "We could raise some friendly cats and open a cat cafe."
As her past memories became clearer, Kurumi grew more and more excited as she spoke.
Especially when she thought of those cute little angels meowing, Kurumi's entire demeanor became full of energy!
"This is a huge business opportunity! A bunch of fluffy cats surrounding you, listening to their purring sounds as they breathe, enjoying the pleasure of cat petting! Isn't this heaven?! Sister Narumi!"
As a devoted cat lover, Kurumi felt her plan had great potential!
Moreover, she had a lot of money. Even if she lost money at first, she wouldn't care with her vast resources.
Worst case scenario, she could just 'borrow' some money from some kind people.
Listening to Kurumi's speech, Narumi also felt that a cat cafe, which seemed to be the first of its kind in Japan, truly had a promising future.
Therefore, Narumi also thought Kurumi's proposal was a good idea.
But then, Narumi had a new question: "Then where will we find those friendly cats? And if we really open a cat cafe, I think many things need to be carefully considered, right?"
For example, cat vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and personalities – these were all tasks that required a lot of effort.
"Don't worry, I'll handle all of that!" Kurumi patted her chest and guaranteed, "I've met quite a few people in Tokyo over the years, so these things won't be a problem!"
Thinking about finally being able to be with the kittens, Kurumi, who couldn't raise cats before Narumi arrived because she lived alone and was often away from home, could no longer contain her excitement.
Author's Note: Please be sure to read this.
(I'm an idiot)
A few days ago, I thought the census was over, but I didn't expect a large number of unregistered people to suddenly appear in the jurisdiction these past two days.
Then the new district's order was that it had to be completed by tonight.
So we all worked overtime and compiled reports, which dragged on until now.
I can only say that I'm a complete fool, there's no other explanation.
Now I realize that today's release is a VIP chapter, and I won't make any further explanations here.
In short, I'll be resting tonight and tomorrow, and I'll release at least ten chapters in a day and a bit.
Also, here's something about this book——————
Actually, the initial concept for this book was mainly because I like watching JOJO and Conan.
Then, because I really like my wife, I decided to make Kurumi the main character.
In my opinion, Kurumi's Zadkiel has a wide range of applications and its abilities are not weak.
However, in the world of Conan, where everyone is (basically) an ordinary person, Zadkiel's abilities seem too powerful and its concealment is poor. If there are no restrictions, with my current abilities, I won't have many new tricks to play in the later stages.
Therefore, in the setting, as I said before, I will gradually refine Kurumi's Zadkiel with twelve or even more Stand abilities.
And more importantly, there are too many memes from JOJO that can be used.
I'll add more later if I think of anything else. I'll be updating furiously today and tomorrow as compensation.
That's all!
87 Cat Cafe Location and Anti-Organization Organization (Second Update)
Kurumi loved cats.
Even though their poop stank.
Kurumi just loved cats!
She quickly drove home, and after she and Narumi put away the large pile of clothes they bought in the living room, Kurumi found paper and pen and began to conceptualize the components and key tasks of the cat cafe.
Seeing Kurumi sitting seriously at the table, engrossed in thought, Narumi didn't say much. Instead, she efficiently opened the shopping bags in the living room and began to organize the clothes they had bought.
The most important thing in a cat cafe isn't the taste and price of the drinks, but rather creating an atmosphere where both cats and customers can feel relaxed. Drinking coffee is secondary; the cats are the main stars here.
Therefore, in choosing the cats, Kurumi not only needed cats whose temperaments and personalities were accepting of humans but also focused on the stray cats living in the city.
Spaying or neutering the stray cats and slowly smoothing out their wary personalities through daily life, allowing them to gradually accept human touch and care.
Afterward, people who wanted to adopt cats could confidently take these little strays home to be cared for meticulously, giving these little angels who had fallen to earth a warm home and a future.
This! This is the most important thing!
After spending several hours making notes and revisions, by the time Narumi had prepared dinner, Kurumi had finally selected a series of new ideas and the most reliable methods from her memories of various cat cafes.
At this point, dozens of almost completely filled sheets of various design plans had accumulated on the table in front of Kurumi.
...She did as she said.
In the afternoon of the next day, regarding the location of the cat cafe, Kurumi thought for over ten minutes before deciding to go to Beika Town to find Mouri Kogoro.
Taking Narumi with her, Kurumi drove towards their destination.
"Kurumi, why are we opening the cafe downstairs from Mouri Detective's house?" Narumi asked, confused, having changed into a new outfit.
As far as she knew, there were many commercial spaces for rent within Tokyo city. While they might not all be cheap and in prime locations, it had to be better than opening a cafe downstairs from the Shinigami's house, right?
Did Kurumi believe that the most dangerous place was the safest place?
In response to Narumi's question, Kurumi said, "I'm very sure about this."
"First, Sister Narumi, you also know that Kudo Shinichi is actually Conan."
Narumi nodded.
"Opening the shop below their place will make it more convenient for us to contact and monitor this hothead in the future." Kurumi didn't mention that the rent for Mouri Kogoro's place was really cheap, and the location was also pretty good.
"Moreover, if the cat cafe were in a busy downtown area, and a cat suddenly bolted out one day, it would not only be a threat to the cat itself, but a cat running around could also easily get onto the main road and endanger other vehicles or pedestrians."
Hearing Kurumi's explanation, Narumi nodded in understanding. "That's true. The area outside Detective Mouri's house is a residential zone, so it's definitely much safer than a busy downtown area."
"But, Kurumi, why do you want to monitor Kudo Shinichi?" Narumi voiced her question.
This wasn't because Narumi thought Kurumi was interested in Kudo Shinichi, but simply out of curiosity.
To this question, Kurumi couldn't exactly say that Kudo Shinichi was the protagonist of this world, and that his Shinigami aura hardly ever activated when he was at her place.
After thinking for a moment, Kurumi explained, "A friend of mine in the Organization wants to observe Kudo Shinichi, and she, like me, dislikes the Organization. So, she wants to judge whether this person can become a force to fight against the Organization from the shadows by observing Kudo Shinichi's actions and thought patterns."
Kurumi naturally included Miyano Shiho in the category of her friends.
"So that's how it is!" Hearing Kurumi's explanation, Narumi understood.
"What about me? I'm a doctor, after all!" Narumi also wanted to do something for Kurumi.
In response, Kurumi said earnestly, "Precisely because Sister Narumi is a doctor, your task is also very important!"
Hearing that she also had a task, Narumi immediately perked up. "What task?"
"Researching medicine."
"The drug named APTX-4869 that my friend developed is the culprit that caused Kudo Shinichi to transform from a high school student into a child. The research data for that drug is tightly controlled by the Organization. She hopes we can conduct reverse research on this drug currently under development to see if we can successfully develop an antidote."
"But this kind of reverse research is very difficult!" As a doctor, Narumi understood the hardships involved better than Kurumi. "And it requires many things. Besides funding, obtaining materials, equipment, and the like will be very difficult." Narumi, just an ordinary doctor, suddenly lost her confidence.
