Model worker and his little darling

Tokyo.

After taking the drunken man back to the office, Pingqing shook his head, his eyes becoming much clearer.

Seeing the black car in the corner, Pingqing silently walked over.

Before long, the mountain villa came into view.

Seeing Hiraiyoshi pout as he walked in, Karasuma Renya smiled and placed a chess piece down.

Heiji glanced at the chessboard, then slumped onto the sofa and waved his paw at Karasuma Renya.

Good evening, sir.

It's so late, and the old man really has a lot of free time, staring at those two chess pieces all day long.

Karasuma Renya looked at the dumbfounded Hirai with a smile, "It's been a long time since you've been here. What made you decide to come here today?"

"I'm so tired, I've come here for help."

Upon hearing this, Karasuma Renya glanced at Taira no Kiyoshi in surprise.

What did he hear?

tired?

"Rum told me that Margot and Sudden have been handling things lately. You haven't been to the base in a long time. What have you been busy with lately?"

Ping Qing pursed her lips. The old man clearly knew everything; this act was too fake.

Although he didn't go to the base, he still did a lot of work.

Didn't we just have a fight with the zoo?

"I've been so busy lately, going to hot springs with Uncle to rescue people and dealing with the Shirley sisters. I've been incredibly busy. Only you, Grandpa, do absolutely nothing all day long."

Seeing Heikiri approaching, Karasuma Renya reached out and ruffled Heikiri's hair.

"Now you are the one in charge."

Ping Qing snorted softly, "I'm not."

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then heard the crisp sound of high heels. Turning her head, she saw a graceful figure appear at the door.

"Oh, Qingqing is here too."

Pingqing looked at Vermouth with an innocent expression, wondering why everyone liked to pinch his cheeks.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Vermouth raised an eyebrow. "What? Can't I come?"

Pingqing quickly shook his head; he had only asked casually.

Watching the interaction between the two, Karasuma Renya gently shook his head and returned his gaze to the chessboard.

After teasing Pingqing a couple of times, Vermouth suddenly changed the subject, "Little Qingqing, you haven't been too busy lately, how about helping your older sister with some tasks?"

Upon hearing this, Pingqing's eyes widened instantly, and then he shook his head vigorously.

"No, I've been too busy and tired lately, so I came here specifically to ask the old man for help. I don't have time to help my sister with her mission. You should go find Margot and Su Dai instead; they're both very free these days."

Heiji felt no guilt whatsoever about selling the two people.

Since we're both going to work anyway, it doesn't matter whether we follow Rum or Vermouth.

Besides, his sister is much better at slacking off than him, so she doesn't need his help with tasks.

Upon hearing that Pingqing had used Margot and Su Dai as scapegoats, Vermouth said she was already used to it.

"Little Qingqing, what have you been busy with lately?"

So Pingqing repeated what he had just said to the old man, and then looked sincerely at Vermouth.

"Sister, I'm really busy."

Vermouth nodded. "Yeah, busy going out to play."

Seeing this, Taira no Kiyoshi grabbed Karasuma Renya's clothes, looking pitiful.

Although he found Conan's actions disgusting, he felt much better knowing that doing so would disgust others.

"Grandpa, my sister is bullying me."

Karasuma Renya forcefully pulled the hem of her clothes from Hirakiyo's hand. "This is between you two, it's none of my business."

When Pingqing complained to her face, Vermouth laughed.

"Oh dear, what a pity, Qingqing, there's no one here to help you."
