"Alright then. Remember to get some rest early too."
Chen said nothing. He simply found a room at random and went to rest. Akako Koizumi's house was large enough that any room would do.
Early the next morning, Chen woke up out of habit. By the time he got up, neither Akako Koizumi nor Ai Haibara was awake yet.

"Boss, I'd like some sushi and rice balls."
Chen arrived at a place
