After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

After getting in the car, Shimazaki Takumi asked Hoshino Hitomi: "Miss, where is the restaurant you reserved?"

Hoshino Hitomi smiled and replied, "It's Nozawa Restaurant. Uncle Shimazaki should know where it is, right?"

Shimazaki Takumi was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Is Nozawa Restaurant the Chinese restaurant that Mr. Hoshino opened here a few years ago? I didn't expect that the young lady also knew about it..."

Hoshino Hitomi nodded and explained, "I've only heard a little bit about it. I occasionally heard people at home talk about it before, and I was a little interested, so I asked my housekeeper grandfather to call the current manager of Nozawa Restaurant yesterday and reserved three seats in advance."

Then, Hoshino Hitomi turned her head and looked out the car window, holding her chin with one hand, as if recalling something.

Nozawa Restaurant was opened four years ago after Hoshino Hitomi's father came here.

Hoshino Hitomi's grandmother used to live not far from here. Because her grandmother was Chinese, she loved Chinese food, so her father built a Chinese restaurant here, which is Nozawa Restaurant.

-

A year ago, when Hoshino Hitomi was five years old, she heard someone mention Nozawa Restaurant. She then ran to her father with great interest and asked, "Dad, I heard you opened a Chinese restaurant. Can you take me to try it?"

Hoshino Hitomi's father touched Hoshino Hitomi's head lovingly and said gently: "When Dad finishes his work, I will take you to eat, okay?"

Hoshino Hitomi happily hugged her father and said happily: "Okay! Then don't forget to accompany me~"

One of the plans in our last trip was to have dinner at Nozawa Restaurant with our family, but unfortunately it couldn’t be realized…

Recalling the past, a hint of almost invisible bitterness flashed across Hoshino Hitomi's eyes.

At this time, Fūya Rei noticed that Hoshino Hitomi was sad, and thought: Little Hitomi must be thinking about her family. After all, she is only a six-year-old girl, but she has endured so much pain alone...

A trace of distress flashed in Fūya Ling's eyes. He gently held her little hand and comforted her softly: "Xiaotong, if you want to cry, you can lean on my shoulder. I will always be by your side."

Hoshino Hitomi couldn't help but be stunned. Were her emotions so obvious?

For a moment, she didn't know whether to admire Furuya Rei's insight or his thoughtfulness.

Then she came back to her senses, and gave a knowing smile to Fūya Rei, saying sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Rei. With your comfort, I feel much better now~"

Shimazaki Takumi looked at the two of them through the rearview mirror, and said sincerely happy for Hoshino Hitomi: It seems that the young lady has really made a true friend, Mr. Hoshino, Mrs. Hoshino, it's great...

In fact, Hoshino Hitomi didn’t want to cry, but she had already cried enough behind her back.

Crying indeed cannot solve any problem, but no one cries to solve problems. Crying is just to vent the negative emotions accumulated in the heart.

When you have cried enough, it is time to concentrate on thinking about the problem and take positive actions, and finally you can solve the problem itself.

Nozawa Restaurant is not too far from Furuya Rei's house, and it takes less than half an hour to get there.

Shimazaki Takumi got out of the car as usual, and quickly walked to the back of the car and opened the door for Hoshino Hitomi.

Having already extended her hand, Hoshino Hitomi, who wanted to get off the bus by herself, said: ????……

Hoshino Hitomi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle Shimazaki, I can actually get off the car by myself..."

Upon hearing this, Shimazaki Takumi said with a sad face: "Miss, this is all I can do for you. I hope you understand that helping you get out of the car is something I should do."

Hoshino Hitomi didn't expect Shimazaki Takumi to be so stubborn in these aspects.

After hesitating for a moment, Hoshino Hitomi finally got out of the car with the help of Shimazaki Takumi, and then the three of them walked into Nozawa Restaurant together.

The interior decoration style of Nozawa Restaurant is very simple and elegant in Chinese style. The environment is elegant and gives people a refreshing feeling.

The restaurant is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. Rays of sunlight shine in through the curtains, making the entire restaurant look exceptionally bright and warm.

The wooden tables and chairs in the restaurant are neatly arranged, the floor is spotlessly white, and the walls are covered with decorative paintings.

When the receptionist at Nozawa Restaurant saw Hoshino Hitomi coming, she immediately stepped forward to greet her warmly: "Welcome, Miss Hoshino, we are very happy to have you here. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and ask the manager to come over."

Soon, the store manager came up to them. She was a woman in her forties, with a dignified and elegant manner.

Her hair is as black as lacquer, her skin is as white as jade, her eyebrows and eyes are charming, and her every frown and smile reveals an indescribable charm.

I heard that the store manager is a distant relative from my father's hometown, but this is the first time Hitomi Hoshino has met her. She is not familiar with her and doesn't even know her last name. Hitomi Hoshino thought she would ask Uncle Shimazaki later.

"Ms. Hoshino, the private room you reserved is here. Please follow me." The manager said as he led the three people to the reserved room, and they arrived at the room in a short while.

In the elegant and comfortable private room, several waitresses in short skirt uniforms diligently poured water and tea for the three people. One of the waitresses handed the menu to Hoshino Hitomi and said with a smile: "Miss Hoshino, please order."

The menu was full of familiar dish names. Hoshino Hitomi looked around and then named a few dishes.

After saying this, Hoshino Hitomi returned the menu to the waitress, who took it back and bowed politely, "Okay, please wait a moment, Miss Hoshino."

Soon after, a wide variety of dishes were brought in by the waiter and placed on the table one plate after another.

Then all the dishes were finally served, and the fragrant aroma greeted us, filling the room.

After the waiters served the dishes, they bowed politely and said, "Please enjoy your meal." Then they walked out of the private room.

Hoshino Hitomi and the others put their hands together and said, "I'm going to start~"

Fūya Ling picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. With a gleam in his eyes, he said in surprise, "It's delicious!"

Seeing that Fūya Rei likes Chinese food so much, Hoshino Hitomi was delighted and said, "Brother Rei, do you like sweet and sour pork ribs? Then eat more. There are many other dishes. Try more."

The corners of Fūya Rei's mouth curved slightly, and he said in a gentle voice: "I like it very much, Xiaotong should eat more too."
