thump—

"what--"

Conan covered his head again, now with another bump on top of the already large one.

Kogoro Mouri's deep love awakened him from his memories.

"You brat! What the hell are you thinking?!"

Kogoro Mouri gripped his belt tightly and roared angrily.

"I'm talking to you!"

"When Mr. Long comes here to receive the banner, you and I will go together to pick him up, understand?"

"Hi--"

Conan nodded heavily, tears welling in his eyes.

Seeing Conan's cooperation, Kogoro Mouri finally put away his belt...

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

time flies

Everyone is going about their lives in an orderly manner.

Perhaps after what happened with Aquavit, Gin realized that Cherry could balance the organization's mission with taking care of Sherry.

So, the great Mr. Gin reassigned Lin Jiayou a new task.

From a few to many, one today, two tomorrow, three the day after...

Although Lin Jiayou knew the principle of ceding five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, he had no choice but to comply when he was under someone else's roof.

Moreover, he also wanted to vent occasionally.

As a result, Tokyo's suicide rate increased even further...

Although Inspector Megure has been busy lately, his workload has been relatively light.

Every morning when I go to work, guess what? Another murder case.

Upon investigation, hey, the deceased's body had no injuries or signs of poisoning, so it was simply written as suicide!

This whole thing made him incredibly happy.

I feel like I'm one step closer to a promotion and a raise...

this day

A truck pulled up in front of Lin Jiayou's villa.

"Hard."

After unloading all the goods, Lin Jiayou, for the first time ever, thanked the truck driver.

He then reached into his pocket, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and offered one to the man.

Inside the truck driver's seat, Gin, whose hair was beginning to turn gray, kept a dark expression on his face the entire time.

He released the steering wheel, took the cigarette from Lin Jiayou, and lit it skillfully.

"You deserve to die, you know that?"

Gin spat out cold words through gritted teeth.

Lin Jiayou calmly puffed out a cloud of smoke.

"That's why I said you've worked hard."

"Don't come to me with this kind of thing again."

Gin's eyes were so cold they could kill.

Lin Chia-yu remained unfazed.

"There's nothing we can do. Who knows what those guys might do if they come into contact with Shirley's experimental equipment."

"You delivered it yourself because you were worried about something going wrong."

"Humph!"

Gin snorted coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping over Lin Jiayou.

"Forget about the experimental equipment."

"But,"

As he spoke, his tone became even more dissatisfied.

"Why is there a game console among those goods?!"

"......"

Lin Jiayou did not speak.

He blinked, calming himself down from the urge to laugh, and said calmly,

"There's nothing we can do. Shirley is staying home every day and is almost getting depressed."

"We need to find something interesting for her to do."

"Besides, she can't enjoy the organization's benefits here, so she should be given some compensation, right?"

"Ah,"

Gin couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Then why don't you just buy a combat game console yourself, or have someone else deliver it to you?"

"I don't trust the purchasing department,"

Lin Jiayou remained calm in the face of Gin's questioning.

"Since you're delivering equipment here, we can go along the way."

Gin was too lazy to talk to this guy anymore.

He glared at Lin Jiayou fiercely, then shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

Lin Jiayou carried a fighting game console in one hand and one of the experimental instruments in the other, walking towards the villa.

Although both of them were heavy, Lin Jiayou felt very relaxed.

Don't ask, the answer is internal energy...

The only problem is that the villa's gate is a bit small, so this thing can't really get in.

But it's alright, there are still floor-to-ceiling windows...

"ah!"

Shiho Miyano, dressed in her everyday pajamas, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, hands on her hips.

"What have you done now?!"

"For you."

Lin Jiayou said casually.

Sherry was stunned for a moment.

Huh? For me?

She recalled the date, but it wasn't anything special.

"Could you please answer this?"

Lin Jiayou casually tossed the combat game console onto the floor.

This caused some dust to rise from the floor.

Sherry gave Lin Jiayou a stupid look without any politeness.

"Do you think I can catch this thing?"

That's why I'm telling you to exercise more.

Lin Jiayou spoke expressionlessly.

"If you don't practice martial arts diligently, you won't even be able to work as a mover now."

"ha,"

Shiho Miyano was both amused and annoyed.

"I need to be a mover?!"

"Are you going to tell me now that the organization has gone bankrupt and even researchers like me have to go out and make money?!"

"Stop talking nonsense,"

Lin Jiayou placed a research machine in the villa's courtyard, clapped his hands,

"There are more outside, you can keep an eye on them."

After that, he turned and left.

Sherry rubbed her hands together as she watched him leave.

The things Cherry bought... were for me, which was a strangely pleasant surprise.

Why don't we open it and see what it is...?

No, no, these things need to be moved to other places, it's not good to disassemble them.

Let's check if there's any identifiable information on the cardboard box...

After searching for a while, Shirley's face lit up with a big smile.

This, this, this...

This is actually a combat game console?!

He actually brought a fighting game console to his house?!

He originally just wanted a handheld game console from the game arcade, but he ended up getting a fighting game console that was only available in arcades!

This is absolutely amazing!

Cherry is so kind to me...

Shiho Miyano was so moved she almost cried.

Although she wanted to stay calm, she found it difficult to calm down.

Waaah, whatever!

Whatever Cherry's schemes may be, this video game console is the real deal, let's play it first!

In less than an hour, Lin Jiayou finally managed to set up a combat game console and several scientific research instruments.
