Gentleman's Night Canteen

But the most indispensable thing in this world is accidents.

Because of her mother's divorce and no one to accompany her, the other party met Ali, but at the same time she had to leave the city with her mother because of her mother's remarriage.

The upcoming separation is like a catalyst, causing the seeds that had been growing slowly to grow wildly in an instant.

Originally hoping to be mature and lightly tell the other party that she was going to leave, but when the other party asked and looked directly into A Li's eyes, Fusae Kinoshita found that she was not as strong as she imagined.

But she didn't want to make this perhaps the last meeting between the two stained with sadness, she shook her head pretending to be strong.

Ali, who is not very sensitive to emotions, noticed the abnormality of the other party but didn't think much about it. In this way, the two bid farewell and separated as usual, but the difference was that the other party specially returned a magazine that he hadn't read before. Gave it to Ah Li but didn't say much.

It's just that Ah Li never imagined that the parting this time would be a farewell forever.

The next day, as usual, he came to the park where the two met, but unfortunately today, there was no one waiting for him anymore.

Stubborn, he came here for several days without seeing the other party's figure, and finally found the other party's home directly, but it was a pity that the building was empty at this time, and it was not until then that Ah Li realized that the other party had really left.

At that time, his first reaction was unbelievable. In his impression, the other party was the most gentle girl in the world, even if she left, she couldn't leave without saying goodbye.

Only then did he realize that the abnormality of the other party that day might not be as simple as the other party said.

His intuition told him that maybe the answer was hidden in the magazine that the other party returned to him when they parted that day.

Because the magazine has been flipped through countless times, after receiving it, he put it in the bookcase as usual and did not care about it, but when he rushed back to the room under the incredible eyes of his family, took out the magazine and put it When he opened it, he suddenly found that there was an extra letter in the original magazine for some reason.

The beautiful words in his heart outline the details of the three months that the two have known each other, but what really moved him was the sentence at the end of the letter.

'Thanks to A Li these days, it's great to know A Li. '

When he saw this line of words, A Li, who had always been slow, suddenly found that his eyes seemed a little blurry, and he almost instinctively raised the letter in his hand...in order not to wet it with tears.

Boys may always be slower than girls, but this is what Ah Li finally realized. It turned out that after only three months of getting along with each other, he unconsciously fell in love with that timid but gentle girl. ...

Since that day, he has kept the letter in the box but never took it out again, because he knew that when he saw the letter, he might find it difficult to control his emotions.

But he seemed to have forgotten one thing, and the more he wished he could forget it, the harder it was to forget.

After that, his life did not have much ups and downs. He graduated from school with excellent grades, joined the laboratory to study, and left the laboratory to become an independent inventor for his ideals. If there is any abnormality, it is Until now still unmarried.

Obviously we were just teenagers when we parted, but maybe it was because we never saw each other again that the image of the other party became more and more perfect. Unfortunately, no one in this world can surpass the one that only exists in dreams. 'Perfect Girl'.

But at any rate, as an adult, he has also learned to hide it deep in his heart.

I just don't know why Lan Meng's 'Ginkgo'-themed dessert today awakened the deepest memory in his heart.

At the same time, he looked at Dr. A Li who looked sad, and Hui Yuan Ai who lowered his head and didn't know what to think.

Conan fell into deep self-doubt.

Is there something wrong with me, or is something wrong with everyone...

Chapter 12 We will win!

When Dr. Ali woke up from his memory, he naturally noticed Conan's worried expression.

Obviously, although I don't understand why Dr. Ali and Olga, and even Haibara Ai, became a little strange, after all, Dr. Ali is different from other people. At this time, he is more worried about each other than satisfying his own curiosity. safety.

"PhD……"

"It's nothing, it's just reminding me of some past events, just like this snack, it's sweet with a hint of bitterness, it's... endless aftertaste."

Seeing that Dr. Ali, who is a scientific madman, suddenly became literary and artistic, Conan became more and more worried about the other party's situation, but Dr. Ali did not explain much. After all, even when he talked about his youthful past I can't help being a little shy, so I talk to Lan Meng directly and try to skip this topic.

"Lanmeng, it's a delicious snack, I believe your grandma will like it too."

"Then I can rest assured~"

Conan had more and more doubts in his heart, but he understood the atmosphere once in a while and did not continue to ask. As for Olga on the other side, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't say much, just faced Lu smiled at them.

After all, it’s not easy for him to say to Conan and Haibara, "Your grandpa is probably reminiscing about his youth, but the heroine is probably not your grandma", right?

But he didn't dislike it.

Isn't this seemingly ordinary and trivial daily life what he is after?

Children don't need to go to battle with weapons in hand, old people can smile with their children, and adults only need to think about what to eat for dinner tonight instead of thinking about whether they will survive the next battle.

Ordinary, monotonous but... happy daily life.

"That's great~ A world without war..."

Olga's soliloquy undoubtedly attracted Conan's attention, especially the 'war' that the other party said made him frown.

Cooperating with the opponent's skin color, Conan faintly had some guesses.

But Olga didn't pay attention to Conan's gaze, he just took a deep breath and stood up again.

At this time, he could no longer see that he had once again become the 'Tekkadan Leader' who made countless enemies tremble.

Although he loathes the battlefield he will step on next, he will not hesitate at all in order to create a peaceful world.

"Great wine sir, reminds me of some friends."

When paying the bill, Olga couldn't help sighing, but then handed Lan Meng another banknote.

"?"

Seeing Lan Meng's inexplicable expression, the other party showed a helpless smile.

"Next, I'm probably going to meet some people. It's not good to bring a bottle of wine, so can I temporarily store the unfinished wine with you? If possible... I want to have a drink with my friends next time I come here again. Get up and drink."

"Of course no problem, there is actually no need for storage fees..."

For Lan Meng, it was enough that the other party was willing to become a repeat customer, but Olga shook her head.

"No, please accept it. After all, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to set foot on this land next time, so I'm afraid I need to trouble you to save it for a long time... If, if I can't come again, I will Someone came with my token, and I will trouble you to entertain them then."

The other party's voice was extremely calm, but the firmness in the words was shocking.

It's just that there is a trace of tenderness hidden in these firm words.

From Olga's point of view, Blue Dream's cooking reminded him of his former friends. If he died unfortunately one day, then maybe his remaining friends could also get some comfort from Blue Dream's wine.

It looks a little cruel, but he is so serious. After all, even he cannot guarantee that he can live until the day his dream comes true, but if possible, he hopes to fight side by side with Sanriyue and die on the battlefield... Same as your companions.

The power hidden in the calm words made Conan, who had been secretly looking at the other party, couldn't help being a little stunned.

But Olga didn't seem to give the people too many chances to think, but waved towards Lan Meng, then whispered to Conan and Hui Yuan to "listen to grandpa's words", and then opened the door and left very freely.

But at this moment, a clear and clear child's voice suddenly came from behind.

"uncle!!"

"?"

"Come on!!"

Olga looked at Conan who suddenly cheered him up for some reason, but he still smiled and clenched his fists towards him.

"Oh!!"

The footsteps that were slightly heavy because they were about to go to the 'battlefield' also became brisk.

Although he didn't know why Conan cheered him on, was it because his expression was too serious just now?

But I have to say that the child's cheering sound made him more emotional.

It was exactly the same as when those children watched me board their own car when I led Tekkadan to the battlefield for the first time...

Olga, who left Lanmeng restaurant, walked towards the negotiation venue with his head held high, but to his surprise, he saw an unexpected person outside the venue.

"Three suns and moons?"

Compared to Olga's opponent, who is slightly shorter, but with a robot-like cold gaze, one can clearly feel the 'power' contained in the opponent's body.

Naturally, he would not admit his mistake to this best friend Olga who had been with him all this time, he just simply felt a little strange, why did the other party appear here?

Didn't you say you hated the atmosphere of the negotiation venue, so you went to find your old acquaintances?

The tacit understanding between the two made it obvious that Olga only called out the other person's name, and the other person guessed his thoughts conveniently.

"I hate those guys, but I don't trust you, Olga."

"Haha~! What are you worried about? There are other people in the regiment accompanying me..."

Although Tekkadan is a relatively special mercenary group whose main job is to fight, but with the development and personnel expansion in the past six months, there have been many civilian staff, and some of them are responsible for assisting Olga in the negotiation this time. , but Sanriyue shook her head.

"We have always fought side by side, and this time is no exception, but maybe I really don't need to use it, because you look... It seems that I don't need to worry about it."

Olga was taken aback by what her friend said, then laughed and hugged the other person's shoulders.

"Of course! I'm Olga~! Olga of Tekkadan! Even if it's an unfamiliar battlefield... no, we will definitely win!! But I'm glad you can come and accompany me, let's go! Let’s go! Go and pick up the victory that belongs to us!!”

Looking at Olga's confident expression, Sankayue's seemingly emotionless face seemed to soften a bit.

As the other party's best friend, he naturally noticed his friend's nervousness, which was why he had clearly left but came back again, but now it seemed that he was a little unfounded.

He had seen similar expressions on the other side more than once, and every time they would have won.

This time... will definitely not be an exception!

Even though the battlefield is different, their Tekkadan will definitely win! !

Because they have the best commanders! ! !

Chapter 13 Perfect Reasoning

After Olga and Mikazuki reunited, they found the rest of Tekkadan, and everyone walked towards the negotiation venue together, but the atmosphere in the store on the other side seemed a little delicate.

Just now Conan didn't know why his blood surged up suddenly and he regretted it after shouting at Olga.

It's not that he feels that he has no face for yelling. After all, what does Conan's loss of face have to do with Kudo Shinichi?

Recently, taking advantage of his identity as a child to take a bath with Xiaolan, and pretending to be a child in front of adults, his integrity has already been lost, and it's not bad.

The reason why he regretted it was because he found that the eyes of other people in the store looking at him were a little...subtle?

It doesn't matter that Hui Yuan Ai and the doctor look at themselves strangely, anyway, they also know their true identities, even if they feel a little strange, but they probably don't care, at most, they can ask themselves what happened to them afterwards, and then they can use 'pretend' The kid's fooling around, but what about the other two in the store?

Especially Lan Meng looked at him with something strange, as if he was thinking about something.

This undoubtedly made Conan even more nervous.

Fortunately for him, Lan Meng didn't say anything, but calmly came to Olga's dining table to pack up the tableware that had just been used up, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his head suddenly came to his side.

"Conan, why did you cheer for that guest just now?"

If Lan Meng asked himself this way, he would probably use his best way of pretending to be stupid to fool him, but Lysa's innocent and curious eyes kept stimulating his inner desire to express.

Why did he become a detective?

Because he likes to decipher since he was a child, especially when ordinary people are at a loss for a puzzle and he solves it, the pleasure is doubled.

But he can't be too exaggerated in front of ordinary people. He also racked his brains to think about how to answer this question and at the same time conceal himself. Finally, he thought of a method...or the old method, throwing the reason to the TV .

"Because Uncle Olga looks exactly like in the TV show I watched this morning."

"TV drama?"

"That's right, a TV series, today's TV series just happened to put the male protagonist participating in a battle..."

Lysa's question is actually an unfamiliar term of 'television drama', but after Conan's explanation, she roughly understands that it should be a 'special drama'. But she didn't think too much about it. After all, in the past few days, she has gradually gotten used to the fact that "guests from outside the island come to patronize" in Lanmeng's joint development with Lanmeng.

I have to say that Conan's luck is very good. Lysa is not a person who seeks the bottom line, and she will not consider Conan's strange insurance. She just sighs 'this kid is so smart', but Haibara looks at him on the other side. His expression became more and more cold.

This time it was not because of Lysa but because of Conan.

He obviously reminded the other party not to be too conspicuous more than once, but now he can't help it when someone asks a question. It was fine at first, but now the more he speaks, the more excited he is. It doesn't look like a child's words.

"That... uncle should have a pistol hidden in his waist, but he doesn't seem to care much about being discovered, so he probably isn't a member of the Yakuza, he should have a legal license to hold a gun, but judging by the appearance of the other party, he shouldn't be either. The neon man should be from abroad, so I suspect that the other party may be a professional bodyguard, but later when the other party talked to himself, he mentioned 'war'. With the other party's skin color, it is likely to be a foreigner...or something more To be precise, they are mercenaries in the Middle East or Africa, right?"

Speaking of this, Conan's expression became more and more excited, and the joy of uncovering a big secret made him look extremely excited.

"The other party didn't hide the purpose of coming to Nihong this time, it was to see his 'comrades', but they should be gone, so he didn't wait for them to come to Lan Meng's restaurant alone, but the other party's identity It should be unusual, after all, ordinary mercenaries should not be allowed to hold guns, I suspect that the other party may not be as simple as an ordinary mercenary, maybe the identity is not ordinary..."

The more Conan talked, the happier she became, but Haibara Ai's eyes that seemed to kill someone became more and more obvious. Just when she couldn't restrain herself, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Conan is such a powerful kid. I couldn't speak so organizedly like him when I was young..."

Hui Yuanai was taken aback by the sudden exclamation, and then saw Lan Meng who had already disposed of the tableware and was walking beside her.

This undoubtedly startled her, but she didn't know if it was because she had enough trust in Lan Meng, and she quickly regained her senses, instead of making an excuse, she patched Conan.

"Conan's host family opened a detective agency, and he himself likes to watch detective dramas, so he always likes to imitate the detectives in the drama...Boys are really troublesome."

It's not that she doesn't believe in Lan Meng, but because she doesn't want to cause trouble for Lan Meng, but Lan Meng didn't think much about it at all, just sighed with a smile.

"However, Conan's reasoning is quite powerful. Unsurprisingly, he should be right."
