"Enjoy your coffee and dessert at your leisure."

Mina Fujiwara placed the dessert she was carrying on the table in front of Shuichi Akai, and then left.

Shuichi Akai was left alone, staring blankly at the desserts and coffee in front of him, not knowing why he hadn't made a move.

Finally, after mentally preparing himself, he slowly picked up the fork, scooped out a bite of cake, and put it in his mouth.

"Well!"

The moment the cake touched my lips, a familiar feeling washed over me.

It really is her... there's no mistake, it tastes exactly the same as what she makes!

Shuichi Akai's heart seemed to tremble the moment he tasted the cake in front of him.

There was no other reason than that no one was more familiar with this taste than him; it tasted exactly like the desserts she had made for him before.

If he had any doubts about her identity before, he is now 100% certain.

Only she could make a cake that suits my taste so well.

In an instant, Shuichi Akai's gaze drifted toward Akemi, who was still working hard in the kitchen, wanting to catch another glimpse of her.

Unfortunately, due to the obstruction of the kitchen door and the slight obstruction from Asakawa Yu, Akai Shuichi couldn't see what he wanted to see and could only helplessly turn his gaze back.

Seeing this, Asakawa Yu gave a barely perceptible smile, before reverting to her usual indifferent demeanor.

Asakawa Yu knew Akai Shuichi's thoughts, and he knew that Akai would definitely find another opportunity to observe Akemi.

But as Mingmei's boyfriend, he certainly wouldn't let her have her way.

Akemi had told him in a conversation that she had also made desserts for Shuichi Akai, so Asakawa Yu was not surprised that Shuichi Akai could taste the flavor of Akemi's desserts.

But since the truth hasn't been revealed yet, even if he already knows, so what?

After finishing his dessert, Shuichi Akai picked up his coffee and took a small sip, still wanting more.

"...delicious."

Even though Shuichi Akai harbors a strange animosity towards Yu Asakawa, objectively speaking, the coffee Yu Asakawa brews is absolutely top-notch.

Even Shuichi Akai, who doesn't usually like drinking these things, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

At the very least, he should be able to bring her happiness...

Shuichi Akai looked at the still busy figure and the happy smile on her face. While he was happy for her, he also felt a pang of sadness.

"time to go……"

With that thought in mind, Shuichi Akai put his mask back on and prepared to walk towards the door.

“Welcome next time.”

Seeing that Shuichi Akai was about to leave, Fujiwara Mina smiled and bid him farewell, prioritizing work.

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai turned his head slightly and looked at Yu Asakawa, who was sitting at the counter in the coffee shop, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

"The desserts were delicious, and the coffee was also very good. I will come again next time."

After leaving these words, Shuichi Akai strode away, leaving Mina Fujiwara standing there, completely bewildered.

"No, does this mean they haven't given up yet?"

Fujiwara Mina felt that this world was too magical. How could there be such a persistent person? Knowing that Ayami-nee already had a boyfriend, she still wanted to steal him away? She really didn't respect her boss at all!

As Fujiwara Mina thought this, she couldn't help but complain in her mind.

"Boss, he... he's gone?"

As the sounds outside gradually subsided, Akemi poked her head out slightly and asked a question, a sight that left Asakawa Yu somewhat stunned.

Does it seem kind of...cute?

Shaking off the random thoughts in her head, Asakawa Yu replied, "Yeah, I just left."

"I see..." Akemi murmured to herself, then suddenly pointed towards the coffee shop entrance:

"Boss, look, isn't that Ai and the others?"

Looking in the direction Akemi pointed, Asakawa Yu indeed saw several familiar figures.

The three members of the Junior Detective League, Conan and Ai Haibara, and a few others that Asakawa Yu hadn't expected.

There, Officer Sato and Takagi were talking to Conan and the others.

"Shall we go take a look?" Asakawa Yu asked.

“Okay,” Mingmei readily agreed.

After discussing it for a while, the two walked towards the door, and Fujiwara Mina didn't say anything.

Just kidding, those are the boss and his wife, do you dare say they're slacking off?

Pushing open the door, Asakawa Yu greeted everyone.

"Brother Asakawa!" the three little ones greeted Asakawa Yu.

Conan and Ai Haibara nodded to them, followed by Takagi and the others.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Asakawa and Ms. Tangze."

"Hello, I didn't expect to see you here. What are you doing here?" Asakawa Yu asked first.

The sight of so many people here at the same time made him wonder if it was a harbinger of some major case.

"We were originally planning to go to Asakawa-nii's place for dessert, by the way, Officer Sato is treating us!" Ayumi answered Asakawa Yu's question.

"I see." Asakawa Yu turned to look at Takagi and the others. "And you guys? You're not here for dessert too, are you?"

"Well... this..." Takagi stammered, as if he had something difficult to say.

“Let me explain,” Officer Shiratori stepped forward. “Actually, we received some intelligence, so we came to this restaurant to conduct some investigations. We just didn’t expect it to be Mr. Asakawa’s restaurant.”

"Strange information?" Ai Haibara and Akemi frowned at the same time, and even Conan paid attention to this matter.

"Yes, but in my opinion, this news is probably just a rumor." Officer Shiratori said.

"Oh, I see. By the way, I'm going to karaoke with Yumi and the others later. Do you want to come along?" Officer Sato invited.

"Well, of course, that's great." Takagi hesitated for a moment before agreeing, but to his surprise, Officer Shiratori refused Officer Sato's invitation.

"Then you can go sing with them." After saying that, he turned around and left, waving his hand as he did so. "I'm not in the mood to sing today, so I won't be joining you."

Seeing that the white bird had left, the children decided to go into the coffee shop for dessert.

While the group was still talking, Asakawa Yu suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.

No! I remember now, which means that thing still exists here!

"Get down!"

The next second, as Asakawa Yu's eyes widened instantly and Officer Shiratori shouted, a huge explosion resounded throughout the entire street...
