I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

The agreed place was in Yoneka Town, a cafe near Yoneka Station.

When he saw this location, Otoi Hiroshi was a little surprised. He originally thought that Ms. Kinoshita would choose an address that was more suitable for discussing things.

Yes - Fusae Campbell Kinoshita.

Fashion designer and founder of Fushahui brand, a strong woman who has built a huge business empire through her own efforts.

It's also very beautiful.

Listening to the ethereal tinkling sound of the passing train, Otoi Hiroshi held Haibara Ai's little hand and walked leisurely through the Takiri intersection.

Tokyo in autumn is a little less sultry, and there is a faint smell of humidity in the air.

After wandering around, we came to a remote street.

As far as the eye can see, rows of ginkgo trees are planted on both sides of the street. When the wind blows, the ginkgo trees overhead rustle.

Walk along the street covered with ginkgo trees, turn right and enter an alley.

Finally, at the end of the alley, the two stopped.

【AFTERHOURS】

On the plaque above the head, the letters outlined in artistic fonts have an inexplicable atmosphere.

It means that after get off work, like coming here after get off work, you can get some relaxation.

"Hey, don't you want to talk about work with her?" Haihara Ai raised her head and tugged on Otoi Hiroshi's clothes, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to be here?"

"That lady is a very gentle person." Otoi Hiroshi shook his head.

Haibara Ai looked at her figure reflected in the glass at the door. Since she didn't know the location in advance, Otoi Hiroshi asked her to put on a cute dress, like a little princess.

But it doesn't look particularly out of place in this place.

Because I have already seen a group of girls wearing cos clothing and talking and laughing.

Entering the interior, the walls of the cafe are covered with vines, like a wooden house in the forest.

Ms. Fushae, who was sitting in a quiet corner of the store, noticed their arrival and waved to them.

There was a smile on her face, and her short golden hair shone under her beautiful fisherman hat. What was different from her hair color were her eyes with black pupils, which gave her a different temperament.

"Sorry, we're late." Stepping forward, Otoi Hiroshi bowed quickly.

Fushahui gave a shallow smile, like a ginkgo under an autumn sunset, "It's okay, I just arrived too, ah~ Such a cute little girl, is she your sister?"

——It’s not like a work atmosphere, but more like an appointment between friends.

"Yes," Otoi Hiroshi put down the briefcase in his hand and took Haihara Ai to sit opposite her. "Her name is Haihara Ai. She is the sister of a distant relative. She asked me to take care of her today."

"Hello." Hui Yuan Ai greeted obediently.

Fushae still had the same smile on her face. She held her chin and looked at Haibara Ai, "She has beautiful brown hair. Is she a mixed race?"

"Yeah," Haihara Ai nodded, "My father is Japanese and my mother is British."

"Are you in elementary school?"

"Yes, studying at Didan Primary School."

"Ah~" Fu Shahui held up her hands, "I miss you so much. I also graduated from Didan Elementary School. Forty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Forty years?!" Haiyuan Ai covered her mouth in surprise, "But you still look so young..."

"No matter how old you are, a woman always loves beauty, right?" Fushahui raised her index finger and blinked lightly.

"but……"

"Huh?" Hui Yuarai tilted his head.

Fushahui's eyes gradually became misty, as if meeting Haihara Ai brought back memories of her past, "It's very hard, isn't it? You look like this?"

Hui Yuan Ai was stunned, then quickly understood what she meant, and nodded slightly.

A special hair color and a different appearance from the children around you will always be inadvertently regarded as different.

She had deeply experienced this feeling when she was studying in the United States.

"It was true at the beginning, but," Hui Yuan Ai's eyes were crystal clear and her voice was lively and gentle, "I made some very good friends later on."

Although the children of the Junior Detective Team are a little naughty, they are also unique in their own way, gentle enough, kind enough, and brave enough.

This is enough.

As soon as she finished speaking, Fusha Hui's enchanted eyes brightened up again, and a figure of a young man, deeply engraved in the depths of her memory, flashed through her mind.

Warmth flowed from my heart, through my whole body, and my smiling face was like a nightingale singing in the forest.

"Thank you, Ai-chan~"

Otoi Hiroshi was hesitant to speak, and the original work meeting seemed to have completely turned into a date between friends.

However, seeing the two people chatting happily, he could only quietly act as a backdrop.

"I'm so sorry," Fushae finally laid her eyes on him, still looking gentle and peaceful, "Seeing this little girl, it's like seeing myself when I was young..."

"It's okay. I'm very happy that you like her. Regarding this cooperation, I made a brief plan based on market research." Hiroshi Otoi took the briefcase handed over by Haibara Ai in time. He took out his computer and placed it in front of Fushae.

Fushahui nodded slightly, "Please wait for me a moment."

Under the warm orange light, her eyes carefully and quickly filtered the contents of the document. As time passed, her soft and calm eyes gradually became rippled.

"To be honest," she closed the computer gently, "I didn't have high hopes at first."

She raised her head and looked at Otoi Hiroshi with a more appreciative gaze, "However, your plan makes me very satisfied. I have met many noble sons of the consortium, and there are many outstanding people among them, but you are the unique one." .”

"Thank you for your compliment. I still have a lot to learn from you."

Otoi Hiroshi is very confident in his plan.

——Also has great confidence in Hiroki.

That’s right, this time’s proposal was written by Hiroki.

Although for him, this kind of thing is not a difficulty, but isn't the birth of so-called artificial intelligence meant to help humans share their worries?

The time it took for him and Haibara Ai to be covered with quilts was enough for Hiroki to make tens of thousands of plans.

And he can also do some things he loves with Haiyuan Ai.

Ahem, my thoughts have wandered away...

The business ended much faster than expected, and Ms. Fusae had no intention of leaving soon. Hiroshi Otoi simply ordered three cups of coffee and sat quietly aside, watching the two people chatting quietly.

Fusahui is a fashion designer and a strong woman in the workplace.

And Huihara Ai is a genius scientist, full of knowledge.

As a result, Otoi Hiroshi almost collapsed.

Fusae liked Haibara Ai very much, and the two of them chatted about animals in school, interesting stories about foreign countries, and later even talked about tea ceremonies, ikebana, and even the perspective of the fashion industry.

"Do schools now teach so many things?" Fu Shae smiled in surprise.
