People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

The next day, at Asaba Cafe.

"Ugh, so boring," Fujiwara Mina groaned, sprawled on the table without any regard for her image.

There were no customers in the store at the time, and since Fujiwara Mina is someone who can't sit still, it's not wrong for her to say that.

Asakawa Yu was still standing in front of the counter. Seeing Fujiwara Mina's appearance, he couldn't help but say:

"You want to rest when you're busy, but now you're just bored."

"Hehe, isn't this really too boring? We haven't had a single customer since we started. If you ask me, it's because you're too lazy, boss. Who would just close the shop every now and then?"

"Alright, Mina, the boss has his own things to do too," Akemi said, trying to smooth things over.

She knew that Asakawa Yu usually closed the shop because she had something to do.

Just like he said, he only opened the shop because he was bored. Although she didn't know how much Asakawa Yu's assets were, she figured they must be quite a lot.

"Hmph! I know, Ayami-nee, you only know how to favor your boyfriend." Fujiwara Mina said without even thinking.

Just when she thought Akemi would be shy again like before, she found Akemi to be calm and composed, unlike what she had imagined.

Mingmei calmly replied, "Yes, so what if I side with my boyfriend?"

This sudden turn of events almost caused Fujiwara Mina's mind to shut down completely.

She looked shocked and said:

"No...no, you're not Ayami-neechan! Tell me! Who are you?!"

Bang!

In an instant, Akemi's fist landed directly on Fujiwara Mina's head.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!" Tears welled up in Fujiwara Mina's eyes.

"Come on, I know how hard I used. This is just a little punishment for you, to teach you a lesson for talking nonsense."

Mingmei rolled her eyes. She knew exactly how much force she had used; how could it possibly hurt that much?

"Hehe! I know, I was just surprised. After all, Akemi-nee's expression when she talked about this was really funny."

The next second, Fujiwara Mina returned to her previous appearance, showing no trace of the person who was about to cry.

Seeing this, Akemi had no choice but to turn her head back to making the dessert in her hands, ignoring Fujiwara Mina who was still fooling around.

jingle!

"Welcome! Are you alone?"

The next second, upon seeing a guest arrive, Fujiwara Mina immediately went into work mode.

The man who entered was wearing a black knitted hat, a black jacket, and a face mask. What stood out most about him were his striking dark green pupils.

When Fujiwara Mina saw it, she was only stunned for a moment before returning to normal.

Putting everything else aside, she has seen all sorts of people here. Not to mention those who stand out a bit, she has seen young people with all-white hair, not to mention those who just have different eye colors.

Just like her boss, who also has heterochromia.

But compared to Fujiwara Mina's composure, Miyano Akemi and Asakawa Hare clearly didn't think so.

Shuichi Akai? !

What's he doing here? Just here for coffee?

Impossible. In an instant, Asakawa Yu dismissed the thought from her mind.

As an FBI investigator, instead of trying to catch Vermouth, he has time to come here for coffee.

But this time, Asakawa Yu was really wrong. Akai Shuichi really was just there to drink coffee and casually... sample some desserts.

The moment Shuichi Akai stepped into the store, he saw the man who piqued his curiosity.

Asakawa Yu, the nominal owner of this coffee shop.

Ever since the bus incident, I've become completely interested in this man.

The words the other person had given him when they left made him think even more.

Furthermore, Shuichi Akai also keenly noticed the woman sitting next to him.

Could she be Akemi?

In his heart, he already had the answer to this question.

She is Akemi, but she is no longer his Akemi. Now she seems to be living a very happy life.

A fleeting moment of distraction crossed Shuichi Akai's eyes, but it quickly vanished.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

Seeing that Shuichi Akai was in a daze, Mina Fujiwara wondered if there was something wrong with the guest, so she asked.

"Hmm... I'll have a latte, by the way, do you have any desserts you'd recommend?" Shuichi Akai said after thinking for a while.

"Of course! Let me tell you, our Ayami-nee's desserts are really delicious. You'll definitely rave about them after you try them."

Fujiwara Mina gradually lowered her guard. In her opinion, people who love sweets usually have good personalities, even though the person in front of her was a bit aloof.

“Ayami?” Shuichi Akai murmured the name softly.

"That's right! It's our shop's 2008 dessert shop. Her desserts are incredibly delicious, definitely better than anything you can find elsewhere!"

Seeing Fujiwara Mina's eloquent praise, Akai Shuichi was pleasantly surprised, but his expression was also slightly complicated.

I know how good her desserts are...

"Don't worry, Ayami-neechan will definitely not let you down."

Seeing Fujiwara Mina's confidence, Akai Shuichi jokingly said:

"It seems you have a lot of confidence in your Ayami-nee."

"Yes, of course."

"Then can you tell me about... Ayami-nee?"

Seeing this, Hideaki Akai began to reveal his true colors.

"Ok?"

Fujiwara Mina blinked, then, as if suddenly remembering something, stared suspiciously at Akai Hideaki.

Oh, I get it.

So that's how it is! No wonder! I knew it. Men like this usually come to coffee shops either with their boyfriends or to work. Unlike this guy, who just came here to drink coffee and eat dessert. So that's what he really wanted!

Even though she already knew that Ayami-nee had a boyfriend, who was also the manager of our store, she still dared to try and steal him away.

Ha, men.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under Fujiwara Mina's gaze, Akai Shuichi frowned slightly. "Excuse me, could you please not make that face? I was just a little curious."

"Um... I'm sorry, I was rude."

Fujiwara Mina then apologized, but her tone clearly lacked the enthusiasm she had shown earlier.

Haha, I've met countless men like you.

For a moment, an unsettling atmosphere filled the air…
