A Scientific Urban Detective

“The teacher is so slow,” Torafune Mitsu, who was selecting ingredients for dinner in the fresh vegetable section, couldn't help but say, “And I haven't heard any announcements about finding the owner of the money either.”

“Could it be that something else happened?” Lin Wu Ming speculated randomly.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Just as she said that, Tetsuzou Tsuguri hurried over, “Wu Ming, you guessed right, something did happen, although it was just a small matter.”

Seeing Tetsuzou Tsuguri come over, Lin Wu Ming knew that the matter over there had been resolved. So he didn't ask any further questions and turned his head to continue selecting ingredients.

Torafune Mitsu still remembered the money they found: “Teacher Tetsuzou, did you go to the lost and found? I don't think I heard any announcements.”

“No need for that,” Tetsuzou Tsuguri waved her hand, “Because I already found the owner and returned the money to him; coincidentally, the money found at the hospital seemed to be his as well, so I returned it all together.”

“Eh? What a coincidence?” “What bad luck?”

Lin Wu Ming and Torafune Mitsu said in surprise together.

Since Tetsuzou Tsuguri, as a security teacher, was convinced there was no problem, then it must have been the owner.

But after all, 1,700 yen wasn't a large sum, so after exclaiming in surprise, they didn't take the matter to heart.

According to the original plan, after successfully completing the shopping, the group of three returned to the apartment.

Then it was time for Lin Wu to show off his skills.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, passing the time by playing games, Tetsuzou Tsuguri still felt somewhat uneasy, and occasionally looked back towards the kitchen.

“Is this really okay?” she couldn't help but ask.

“Hmm? What's wrong?” Torafune Mitsu, who was sitting on the floor swiping her phone, looked up at her, “Do you need a drink?”

“No…” Tetsuzou Tsuguri shook her head, “I mean, shouldn't I go help?”

Although she was a guest, Lin Wu Ming was a boy, and he was injured in his hands and feet, a wounded person sitting in a wheelchair, and now he was left alone in the kitchen busy with dinner, while she was idling around playing games outside…

Although this seemed to be the norm in Aihou Kiyama's house, it still made Tetsuzou Tsuguri feel very uncomfortable, with a strange sense of guilt.

Torafune Mitsu could understand her feelings, but after spending so much time together, she was already used to this situation.

“Teacher Tetsuzou, don't worry, with his esper ability to help, Wu Ming is very efficient. If we rashly enter the kitchen, we will only disturb him.”

“I see…” Listening to the advice and dispelling the intention to go in and help, Tetsuzou Tsuguri also put down the game controller and didn't feel like continuing to play.

Sitting on the sofa for a while, she suddenly exclaimed with emotion: “So Kiyama-sensei has been living such a happy life…”

After witnessing Lin Wu Ming's esper ability, the “all-purpose housework” characteristic, it was not difficult to imagine Aihou Kiyama's current life. Clothes were brought to her, food was brought to her mouth, she didn't need to do anything at home, she just needed to literally “lie flat” and enjoy life.

No wonder all the games that she had bought before but never had time to play were taken out and placed in the living room.

—It's not hard to imagine that Aihou Kiyama usually lies on the sofa playing games like I am now, while waiting for Lin Wu Ming to serve dinner…

“If being a guardian is so easy, I would also like to adopt a child.”

“Teacher Tetsuzou,” Torafune Mitsu said, “Even I know that this is impossible. Wu Ming is a special case among special cases. Normally, the guardian should be taking care of the ward. The relationship between Wu Ming and Kiyama-sensei is completely reversed.”

There were many people in Academy City, and it wasn't as if there weren't any children who were good at housework, but under normal circumstances, these children were very self-sufficient and could live independently, so they didn't need a “guardian” at all.

What Tetsuzou Tsuguri envied was that what she really longed for was not the relationship of “guardian and ward,” but a role that could help her cook and do housework.

Generally speaking, such a role would usually be called a “housekeeper” or a “servant.”

For example, the Academy City's well-known vocational maid school—“Ryoran Housekeeping”—the students there met Tetsuzou Tsuguri's requirements.

It was a pity that hiring a maid who graduated from Ryoran Housekeeping was beyond the salary level of an ordinary teacher.

“What a pity…”

“What a pity?” Torafune Mitsu asked.

“It's a pity that Wu Ming is not a girl.”

“……Huh?”

“I mean, it's a pity that Ryoran Housekeeping is a girls' school,” Tetsuzou Tsuguri came back to her senses and quickly explained, “Otherwise, Wu Ming seems very suitable for this school.”

The newest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

“Teacher Tetsuzou… is also very whimsical sometimes.” Torafune Mitsu said speechlessly.

Anyway, it was difficult for her to imagine Lin Wu Ming, who could fight fiercely among enemy groups, wearing a maid… no, a butler's uniform and doing housework—unless it was an infiltration operation to destroy a criminal organization's base.

Tetsuzou Tsuguri thought her idea was very promising, so she took out her phone and searched with great interest.

“There are all kinds of schools in Academy City. Since there is a professional maid training school, then correspondingly… I found it, it really exists—'Hankan Affairs Butler Training School'.”

“Teacher Tetsuzou, don't introduce Wu Ming to strange places!”

“It's not strange,” Tetsuzou Tsuguri checked the school information, “Although it's a school that trains so-called butlers and maids, both 'Ryoran Housekeeping' and 'Hankan Affairs' are schools with unexpectedly high deviation values. After graduation, whether it is going to university or directly entering employment, they are very popular high-quality students and have a very high evaluation.”

Torafune Mitsu frowned and pondered for a moment, shaking her head: “I still can't imagine myself doing housework in a maid outfit.”

Tetsuzou Tsuguri said: “I didn't say you, Torafune. Don't you think Wu Ming is unexpectedly suitable for this kind of work of taking care of others?”

“It's the same thing. Since Wu Ming is going to butler school, then of course I will go to Ryoran Housekeeping, right?” Torafune Mitsu said as a matter of course.

Because Torafune Mitsu had already determined that she and Lin Wu Ming were the same kind of person, and since they were the same kind, then the decisions they made would of course be the same or similar, and she also liked the school uniform of Ryoran Housekeeping.

At this time, Lin Wu Ming pushed open the kitchen door and came out.

“What are you talking about? I seem to have heard words like butler and maid?” And he also heard his name in it, which made Lin Wu Ming feel concerned.
