cat blues

Walking out of the detective agency, there is a large comprehensive commercial complex not too far away, which includes various shops and leisure shops. Naturally, there is also a large supermarket that Yuji Maomao often goes to.

However, when Yuji Maomao came here, he was a little surprised to find that although it was also a comprehensive commercial complex, the scale was much smaller than it remembered. Fortunately, the supermarket was still open.

"Mr. Yukichi, this is probably the influence of the different worlds." Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who doesn't have the overly intelligent brains of the two monsters in the detective agency, has almost no understanding of this world, and the three of them subconsciously regard this place as a place. A world that is the same as theirs naturally would not know that there is no king or gold king, that old man who is good at vigorously developing the economy.

Although the economic recovery here has been done quite well, it can't compare with the world with the king on the other side.

With Akutagawa Ryunosuke's explanation, Yukichi Maomao also nodded in understanding, and one person and one cat pushed a shopping cart and walked in.

Before going in, Akutagawa counted the money in his wallet curiously, and was immediately shocked by how rich the ghost lamp was. You know, it was just the pocket money that the ghost lamp gave Yuji Damao. Is it worthy of being the "chief cabinet officer" of hell, or is it that everyone in hell is rich?

Fukuzawa Yukichi likes matcha-flavored things, Ranpo likes sweet things and fried foods that children like, Akiko likes wagashi and eels, Kunikida likes bonito, Dazai likes crabs, and Atsushi likes ochazuke Ah, that's too bad, I forgot to ask that blond-haired, energetic kid and that pair of siblings who are always sticking together what they like, but since they are both young people, they should like beef, right?

There are also curry and hot sauce. Yuji Maomao walked around the shelves skillfully. When passing the vegetable and fruit area, he did not forget to put two bags of figs in it. The type of dishes he likes is everything, but after a long period of observation by the big cat, he still found his preference.

This kid actually prefers things like edamame, shredded squid, and wasabi octopus that appear more often on the appetizer menu than as a side dish.

How should I put it, Yukichi Maomao is not dissatisfied with his preferences, but Chuya is not yet old enough to drink, drinking now...will he not grow taller in the future?

Yuji Maomao looked at the Junmai Daiginjo in his hand, and after pondering for a while, he put it in his shopping cart. Although he couldn't drink it, other people should be able to drink it, even if he had to face severe problems later. Challenge, a little drink should not be a big problem.

Carrying big bags and small bags, one person and one cat originally planned to walk to the dormitory habitually, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa suddenly remembered something, "Mr. Yukichi, will their dormitory have complete kitchen utensils?"

Hearing this, Yuji Maomao stopped in his tracks. After the ears of the two cats shook for a while, they finally decided to go to the whirlpool cafe to borrow the boss's kitchen.

Because I have often borrowed it before, and from various perspectives, the whirlpool coffee shop can be regarded as the cafeteria of the Armed Detective Agency. If there is no one here, I am afraid that the detective agency will go more diligently, so I borrowed it. The kitchen shouldn't be a problem, right?

The business of the coffee shop is always very good, and it is often overcrowded at night. It is okay to pass by so rashly, right?

Yukichi Maomao thought so, and brought Ryunosuke Akutagawa to the Uzumaki Cafe. After all, there were too few kitchen utensils in the tea room of the detective agency upstairs. As for their dormitory, hey, forget it.

To Big Cat's surprise, there are so few people in the whirlpool coffee shop. Compared with the world they live in, the coffee shop here is not half full, which is unbelievable!

You must know that the owner and husband of the whirlpool coffee shop are said to be strong men who were still able to dominate the world when the name of Nakiri Senzaemon was at its peak. Even though they are more than 20 years younger than Mr. Nakiri, but that Nakiri Senzaemon Zaemon has been in the world for more than 50 years, and he won the title of Demon King until he suppressed the chefs below. However, one can imagine the strength of a person who can still dominate the cooking world under his name of Demon King.

It's just that Uzumaki's boss specializes in coffee and desserts, while the proprietress specializes in home cooking. They don't agree with Nakiri Senzaemon's philosophy, so they didn't enter Togetsu Academy to become teachers. There was an endless stream of invitation letters from Bian to invite them to be the judges of the food halberd.

Both of them followed their temper, and only went to attend once or twice occasionally, and every time they came back, they would complain about Yuanyue's teaching philosophy and student quality.

Such a store, even in a chaotic area like Yokohama, never has to worry about having no customers.

So when he saw that even half of the seats in the whirlpool coffee shop were not filled, Yuji big cat immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was also taken aback, he didn't expect the Uzumaki Cafe to be so "deserted".

"Excuse me..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked in first, "Mr. Store Manager, can I borrow the kitchen of the coffee shop? Mr. Yukichi wants to cook a big meal for everyone in the detective agency upstairs."

"It's okay, but I don't seem to have seen the two of you before... Who are you?" The manager of the Vortex Cafe is still the good-natured middle-aged man. The two of you, the store manager, have never been involved in the entanglement between the detective agency and PortMafia, so it is not surprising that he has never seen Ryunosuke Akutagawa in this world.

"We are here to disturb the Armed Detective Agency temporarily." Because Yukichi Maomao can't speak, the person who communicated was replaced by Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Fortunately, the person who talked to him was the Uzumaki Cafe, which he is more familiar with. Long, otherwise, if it were someone else, I'm afraid Akutagawa would habitually raise the corners of his eyes in a vicious look.

Yuji Maomao also bowed to the store manager behind him.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The store manager was a little surprised to see the super tall man walking in with the boy, "Need I introduce how to use it?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need." Akutagawa Ryunosuke saluted the proprietress who was wiping the kitchen utensils in the back kitchen, and then explained his intentions. The fat proprietress immediately smiled and agreed to their request, "If you need help, just say One sound."

"Thank you..." Ryunosuke Akutagawa bowed very politely.

Then, because they were not too busy, the store manager, the young female clerk and the proprietress who also slipped in together saw the two "people" start a cooking that was almost like a performance in tacit understanding.

The beast head protruding from Akutagawa Ryunosuke's feathers held the egg beater and quickly beat the egg whites, while Yukichi Maomao on the other side calmly sifted all kinds of flour together, and then skillfully stirred them together.

"It's amazing..." The waitress couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yeah, is this a matcha chiffon cake? It seems that almond powder is added?" The store manager couldn't help but comment.

Yujimao put the cake embryos into the oven, and then started making cookies non-stop. In addition to the vanilla flavor for the detective, there are also salty biscuits for Kunikida and Akiko. This kind of salty ditty Chico is its proud work, after baking, even a famous detective who likes sweets can't help but keep stealing it.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was helping it. The two moved smoothly and skillfully. It was obvious at a glance that they had many years of cooperation experience, especially the various movements of the supernatural animal head behind Akutagawa, which made the store manager realize for the first time that the original supernatural power It can still be used in this way, I have seen it and seen it.

When the three of them were fascinated by watching, Lucy came back to the coffee shop after seeing the situation upstairs, and found that there were only a few customers still drinking coffee in the coffee shop, and the store manager and another waitress were gone?

"The store manager? The store manager?" Lucy couldn't help calling.

"I'm here." Only then did the store manager realize that there was no one outside and quickly came out of the back kitchen, "I'm sorry Lucy, I couldn't help but immerse myself in the cooking action inside."

"The store manager is really humble. You are also a very good cook." The regular customer finished with a smile, stood up to pay the bill, and planned to leave.

"No, no, the action inside is really powerful." The store manager smiled and praised, and then returned to the back of the bar and began to grind coffee with a smile.

Seeing such gorgeous cooking skills, he couldn't help but want to drink a cup of his own hand-made coffee.

Not long after, the unusually strong cookie aroma came from the back kitchen, which made Lucy want to salivate. What's even more strange, why does the cookie aroma smell salty?

Just when she was wondering, Ryunosuke Akutagawa had already come out of the back kitchen with neatly stacked cookies and a pot of fruit tea, "I'll send the things up first."

"Akutagawa?!" Although Lucy has never met this Akutagawa head-on, she is aware of the fact that he defeated the group's cruise ship stronghold and severely injured Margaret and Hawthorne, and she has naturally seen each other At this time, seeing the other party appearing here with a face of nothing happened, he subconsciously put on a defensive posture, "What do you want to do?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke only gave her a sideways glance, "Please step aside, you are in the way."

After speaking, he held a tray in his hand, and Rashomon behind him walked out the door holding a tray.

"Lucy, Lucy, he is a guest of the Armed Detective Agency." The store manager also hurriedly stopped his waitress.

"Huh? Huh!!!!"

In the Armed Detective Agency, President Fukuzawa has agreed with Edogawa Ranpo on the key points of the next step, and distributed the various tasks. Although the most important thing is to wait for Mr. Ghost Lamp to collect the book, but as he said As I said, the matter of collecting evidence can also be prepared.

To arrange people to go on business trips to Tokyo and other places, and to contact Taneda Santou for negotiations, the number of things to be busy can really be calculated as sky-high.

At this time, Ryunosuke Akutagawa pushed the door and walked in, holding a biscuit with a strong aroma in his hand.

"The biscuits made by Mr. Yukichi are for everyone's afternoon tea." Akutagawa Ryunosuke poured tea for them one by one, and distributed the biscuits on the plate one by one.

"The "Mr. Yukichi" you are talking about is that Mr. Cat, right? "Kunikida Doppo looked at the plate of biscuits in front of him, couldn't help pushing his glasses and asked.

"Yes..." Akutagawa nodded, "Mr. Yukichi is baking a cake now, and there will be a big meal later in the evening."
