Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

So annoying.

Sherry smelled the familiar scent of cigarettes, her brow furrowed slightly, and she was a little annoyed.

She is someone who cannot stand the smell of smoke at all, even though 90% of the organization's action team, or rather, its official members, smoke.

Ninety-nine percent of smokers are heavy smokers, the kind who can't go half an hour without a cigarette.

However, back at the Baijiu Pharmaceutical Factory, in that territory where she was in charge, she absolutely could not tolerate anyone smoking around her.

only......

Shiho Miyano sighed inwardly.

I am now ultimately living under someone else's roof.

Alright, considering Cherry is the owner of this villa, Miss Miyano will let it slide...

The smell of smoke is really unpleasant...

As Shiho Miyano thought about it, she subconsciously fanned herself with her hand, trying to blow away the smoke.

I gave it a try.

It doesn't seem to be of much use.

Okay, I'll just cover my nose and bear with it...

What a waste of my sunflower seeds! If I didn't eat them for even a little while, I wouldn't have the energy to watch TV.

Sherry endured it all, but then suddenly saw...

The guy put out his cigarette.

She was slightly startled.

Even though the cigarette was still half-smoked, these old smokers couldn't bear to waste it.

So Cherry is...

Sherry unconsciously curled her lips into a smile.

Cherry isn't that ungentlemanly after all...

Come to think of it, he had never smoked in front of me before, and he always tried to avoid it during missions...

Okay, Chief Miyano forgave him this time.

Lin Jiayou watched as the cigarette went out and Shiho Miyano let go of his hand, a faint smile on her face. He inwardly curled his lip.

Little girls are such a hassle...

Forget it, I'll go cook. What will we eat for dinner if I don't cook?

A certain immature sherry is still eagerly awaiting nourishment...

With that thought in mind, Lin Jiayou stopped watching TV.

She stood up and went to the kitchen.

Then......

He then saw the kitchen sink in complete disarray...

"Miya-no-Shi-ho-"

Lin Jiayou strode out in a few steps, emanating a terrifying chill.

He stared intently at the person over there who looked no different from a salted fish, and spoke each word carefully.

"Why weren't the dishes washed?!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry,"

Sherry casually remarked without any sincerity,

"I was a bit busy this afternoon and forgot to wash."

A bit busy? Or have you forgotten?

He only mentioned it when he left...

"Besides, I never promised to wash the dishes."

Shiho Miyano sat up, looking at Chia-Yu Lin with an innocent gaze.

Lin Jiayou clenched his fist.

He shouldn't have felt sorry for her in the first place.

Put out the cigarette?

He wouldn't be done until he lit ten or eight of them for her!

"Oh, okay, okay, it's just that the dishes weren't washed,"

Looking at Lin Jiayou's expression, Miyano Shiho felt inexplicably guilty.

Two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, it should be fine... right?

Cherry wouldn't do anything to her because of this, would she?

They won't necessarily kick them out, but they certainly won't get away with it.

Maybe even...

It was only then that Shirley realized she was alone in a room with a man, and that she seemed to be the vulnerable one...

If Cherry really wanted to do something to him, he would be completely helpless.

Eh?

Shiho Miyano tilted her head, looking somewhat puzzled.

Why didn't she think of such a simple truth when she came yesterday?

Is it because we usually trust each other too much...?

Sherry fell into self-doubt.

Lin Chia-yu wouldn't do that.

He secretly made up his mind.

Damn it, I can't take this anymore!

He took back what he said earlier; he was determined to teach Sherry a lesson today!

Thinking this, Lin Jiayou changed his clothes, put on a human skin mask, picked up a black umbrella, and walked out of the villa in a few steps.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing Lin Jiayou's actions, Miyano Shiho subconsciously asked a question.

Lin Jiayou didn't even turn his head, coldly uttering a single sentence.

"Buy food."

Buy... food?

Shiho Miyano blinked.

A strange sense of guilt welled up inside me again.

Have I gone too far?

At this point, Chief Miyano's anger had subsided, and he began to examine his own behavior.

Hmm...doing nothing is indeed not a good idea.

Cherry has to work and cook, while she just lies at home waiting to be fed and watered—it seems a bit like being a couch potato...

Ugh--

Sherry sighed softly and stood up.

Fine, I'll just have to reluctantly wash the dishes myself.

Let me make this clear first, I'm not washing dishes for Cherry.

She just felt that if she continued not to wash the dishes, there wouldn't be anything left in the house to store food...

Yes, that must be it.

Shiho Miyano comforted herself as her delicate, fair hands began to laboriously wash the dishes...

......................................

One hour later

Lin Jiayou carried a bag and walked into the villa from outside.

"came back?"

Shiho Miyano, still the same old lazy bum, casually said to Chia-Yu Lin as he entered.

Lin Jiayou hummed in agreement and said coldly,

"time to eat."

"what's for dinner?"

Shiho Miyano immediately put down the sunflower seeds in her hand and looked at Chia-Yu Lin with her big eyes blinking.

Lin Chia-yu remained unmoved.

He waved and then walked straight to the dining table.

"I bought it from outside, so I'll just have to make do with it."

Lin Jiayou took out the lunch boxes one by one and said calmly.

"Oh."

Shiho Miyano nodded.

She couldn't help but complain to herself.

What's there to compromise on? What is there to compromise on?

Is it really any better than your bowl of plain boiled noodles?

A moment later...

Shiho Miyano looked at the 'abundant' dishes in front of her and fell into deep thought.

Although the word "rich" is in quotes, it is indeed quite rich in variety.

Shiho Miyano roughly estimated that there were probably a dozen or so side dishes.

A plate of scallion tofu (one piece), a plate of tuna sushi (one piece), a bowl of miso soup (this was alright), a small plate of natto (about the size of two fingernails), and three small plates of unidentified pickled vegetables (about the size of two fingernails)...

There was no rice, only these random side dishes.

The largest portion consists of pan-fried ribbonfish, about two fingers thick and one finger long.

You might say it's not getting enough to eat, but that's not necessarily true.

If you're saying it's full, it doesn't seem quite right...
