I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

As dusk falls, looking up at the sky, you can see orange-red clouds and a burning red sky, neon lights flickering on the streets, and smoke rising high into the sky.

The so-called private room on the second floor was actually open-air, and the cool breeze in the evening made the aroma of the barbecue even more intense.

The barbecue is rolled on a large round grill and fried on both sides until slightly charred, presenting an attractive brown color as the sky.

The girls were singing and dancing, and Nan Xiaoniao couldn't help laughing as she listened to their topics shifting from daily school life to interesting things in their own lives.

She skillfully turned the meat in her hands. Under the setting sun, looking at the girls' smiles, she felt that there was nothing better than this.

"This is the meaning of my hard work, so that everyone can come together and smile from the bottom of their hearts."

The girls couldn't help but feel excited.

"I didn't expect the manager to give us such a large piece of land. He's such a good manager." Honoka sighed. This place is enough to be used as a practice venue for school idols.

"It's really big." Hanayo also said, it's almost as big as the rooftop of Otonogizaka.

"It's because there are too many of you and you refuse to separate." Kudo Shinichi pouted and complained without stopping what he was doing.

Yes, just as Sonoko said, he was in charge of the barbecue.

"What, what? I can't hear you, Shinichi. Aren't you happy to have a barbecue with so many beautiful girls like us?"

Minami Kotori chose to ignore it and passed the barbecue to the girls.

"Ho... Miss Kosaka, the medium rare wagyu slices you ordered."

"Oh, sorry, sorry..."

"No, I don't know how it will turn out if Miss Kousaka does it herself. It would be safer for me to do it." Minami Kotori smiled, recalling her own Qingmei's dark cooking technique.

How can a good piece of beef be roasted into only charred charcoal?

Honoka blushed, responded softly, and then left with the barbecue. It was the first time she was teased like this by a strange man.

And how did he know...

"Shinichi, it's very rude to talk to a girl like that." Xiaolan said helplessly. Shinichi is still as low in EQ as ever.

She put the slices of meat she had roasted herself into the bowl without eating anything - that was for Shinichi.

Shinichi helps everyone bake, so she helps Shinichi bake.

"No, Honoka did have the experience of roasting beef into C element, but, Mr. Kudo, how did you know that?" Umi was very curious, "Is this also reasoning?"

"Uh..." Nan Xiaoniao was suddenly shocked in her heart, and then she realized that to the MS members present, her identity was just a male friend she met for the first time.

"You show-off, are you going to say something like, 'It's obvious that this girl can't cook?'" Sonoko saw a good opportunity to tease Shinichi and immediately joked in a shrill voice.

"Ahem, Ms. Gaoban, please forgive my impoliteness."

"Oh, so that's what you really think?" Honoka blushed and felt a little angry. She, she can cook well too.

"Delicious, Mr. Kudo, your grilled meat is really delicious." Anger turned into loyal admiration when he took the first bite of the grilled meat.

Kudo Shinichi, the famous detective, is a good man!

"Ms. Koizumi, if you need rice for the medium-rare beef ribs you ordered, please go downstairs and tell the waiter."

"Thank you, thank you." Huayang took the beef ribs with great respect. He was indeed a famous detective. He could even deduce that she loved rice!

"As for this, I want to give it to Miss Miyamizu first." Minami Kotori filled a small bowl with beef tongue and meat slices and handed it to Mitsuha who was sitting in the corner. "It's okay, just take what you want to eat. It's self-service. If you don't eat it, I will have to pay for it."

"Thank you, thank you." Sanye, who had been in a daze, was stunned for a moment and took the small bowl.

"This is the sauce that you pour on the meat. If you feel that eating barbecued meat plain is too greasy, it's a good idea to pour a little on it." Minami Kotori looked at Mitsuha with kind eyes.

The small bowls of grilled meat and beef tongue were warm, just like her heart at the moment.

Sister Xiaoniao, no matter what time it is, you always like to take care of people.

After taking a bite of the high-end wagyu beef that she had never had the chance to eat in the small town, she was stunned: "It's delicious."

"That's good. Just tell me what you want to eat."

Although Mitsuha was very touched that Sister Kotori still cared about her, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw that the girl next to 'Kudo Shinichi' had a slightly strange expression on her face.

Please be aware of your identity. You are Sister Lan’s girlfriend now, so why are you concerned about me?

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Kudo, but your beautiful girlfriend will be angry if you do this." Mitsuha said this, and it would make everyone happy.

"Ah? Lan, I didn't mean that. I just, you see, this might be her first time to eat barbecue in Tokyo, so..." Minami Kotori came back to her senses and hurriedly explained in a low voice to Lan beside her.

The flustered look seemed to be 10% or even 90% similar to the real Shinichi.

"Okay, Shinichi, I get it." He is indeed my boyfriend, so considerate.

"Sanye, please let us know if you need anything." Others also noticed that Sanye seemed a little uncomfortable, and hurried over to take care of her.

"Yeah, we're all sisters."

"Honoka, swallow your food before you speak." Umi shook her head helplessly.

"Hahaha." Happy laughter rang out in the courtyard.

The small crisis was resolved and Minami Kotori continued to barbecue.

"Miss Nishinoki's sirloin, beef intestines and beef heart." Minami Kotori put the roasted foods on a plate one by one and handed them to Maki, secretly forming a new impression of Maki in her heart.

She can actually eat beef intestines and beef hearts. She really is a lady with unique taste.

Maki took a bite and had a new impression of the famous detective: "Thank you, it's delicious."

For her to give such an evaluation is already the highest level of praise. What she really thinks is: "It's not inferior to the chef at home. He is really an amazing person."

"Miss Starry Sky's eyes and three tendons."

"Rib eye, pork tendon? These are the names of the meat I picked?" Lin looked at the fragrant barbecued meat on the plate with a puzzled look on his face.

"The so-called three tendons refer to the meat inside the shoulder blade of the cow. It is shaped like a leaf and has white fat like frost. It has tendons, so it is chewy. It is a rare part of the cow, only about 2kg."

"As for the rib eye, it refers to the meat in the middle of the cow. It has high and balanced scores in tenderness, frost, meat aroma, etc. It can be said to be the top student among all parts."

"What does Frost's Descent mean, meow?" The curious kitten raised a new question.

As a little bird that regards doubts as pests, how could I not solve them?

"'Frost' refers to the distribution of fat and lean meat in meat. Specifically, it refers to the delicate fat texture on beef."

"These fats appear as white lines in the meat tissue, similar to the appearance of snowflakes. Therefore, this kind of beef is often called "frosted beef". People in China call this kind of beef "marbled beef". In fact, they are almost the same, it's just a polite way of saying it."

"Wow, that's amazing! Mr. Kudo, you really know everything." Rin really thought it was amazing and even switched to honorifics.

"This guy just has some useless knowledge." Sonoko looked as if it was normal.

"That's better than you. You're good for nothing except money." Kudo Shinichi snorted.

"cut."

"Tsk." Minami Kotori thought it was interesting to interact with Sonoko. She didn't know if Conan thought so. "Here, the barbecue you asked for."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Yuanzi snatched the plate and bit off angrily, "It's so hot! You slut, you plotted against me!"

"It's just been baked. Who told you to eat it so quickly?" Nan Xiaoniao shook her head helplessly, then looked at the remaining girls, "Ms. Hai... Miss Sonoda, I can bake it for you if you want."

"No, I, I'd better do it myself. It's really too much trouble for you."

"But my barbecue is really delicious."

"this....."

"Okay, Umi, don't be so modest. I've already baked Shinichi's portion for him, so don't worry about it." Ran said with a smile.

"Eh? My share? Lan, those are not yours..."

"So, you have to bake one for me too. I also want to try your cooking skills." Lan looked at Shinichi gently.

After meeting again after a long separation, I found that Shinichi has awakened the ability to take care of people, and he has become much gentler.

This is the kind of Shinichi I like the most.

"Oh...oh." Xiaoniao blushed slightly. She, she was actually seduced by a girl. It was really, really outrageous.

Yes, yes, don't forget your identity, little bird, you are also a girl......

"I'm the only one who teases others!"

Huh? Is that the point?
