Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 331 Eri Kisaki: This is a strategy of using one tiger to devour another.
Although the witch helped rescue the blond-haired girl yesterday, she remained invisible the entire time, and Midori Orikasa has yet to see Akane Koizumi's true face.

"She's the fortune teller who divined the location of the bud moon yesterday," Lin Xiuyi explained simply.

"Thank you so much for yesterday," Midori Orikasa quickly bowed and expressed her gratitude.

If they had arrived even a little later yesterday, the blond-haired girl would have been violated by the perpetrators.

Thinking of this, Midori Orikasa quickly thanked him again and again.

If something happens to Yazuki, she might regret it for the rest of her life.

“You don’t need to thank me,” Akane Koizumi waved her hand. “I wasn’t doing a fortune telling for you.”

"By the way, where's Ya Yue?" Lin Xiu asked as she opened the door. "Is she alright?"

“Yazuki went to school normally today,” Midori Orikasa chuckled. “She’s very carefree, so you don’t need to worry about her, senpai.”

The group entered the izakaya.

Eri Kisaki went to the cashier on her own and began organizing the ledgers with swift movements, making quite a bit of noise, as if she were venting her dissatisfaction.

Midori Orikasa took out her books and homework and moved closer to Hideaki Hayashi: "Senpai, this question."

In terms of academics, Midori Orikasa clearly lacks talent, but she is willing to work hard.

During this time at the izakaya, Midori Orikasa not only learned cooking skills from Hideichi Hayashi, but also took extra classes.

After two months, her grades have improved significantly.

Seeing this, Akane Koizumi also took out her homework and unceremoniously pushed past Midori Orikasa: "How do you solve this?"

After understanding her question, Lin Xiuyi was immediately at his wit's end.

Orikasa Midori, standing next to her, also stared wide-eyed in surprise. She had thought her grades were already quite poor, but she never expected that Lin Xiuyi's classmate was even worse than her.

"This question should be from elementary school, right?" Lin Xiuyi felt a throbbing pain in her temples.

"But Mom didn't teach me this,"

Akane Koizumi said this confidently, while poking her notebook with the tip of her pen, leaving small dents on it.

"Mathematics is so troublesome, unlike other subjects where you can just memorize things."

At this point, the girl pouted, her face full of distress.

"This needs to be taught from elementary school," Lin Xiu said, rubbing her temples with a headache.

"Didn't you say before that what I said on the rooftop today didn't count as the second thing?" Seeing that Lin Xiuyi seemed reluctant, Koizumi Akane thought for a moment, "Then teaching me to study can be considered the second thing you did for me, is that alright?"

"Alright," Lin Xiuyi could only nod, seeing that she really wanted to learn.

For the next hour or so, Lin Xiuyi was busy tutoring Xiaoquan Qian.

"No, no, fraction division requires multiplying the reciprocals."

"Why? This is too complicated! Can't we just multiply them directly?"

"These are the rules of mathematics."

"Rule can be changed, right?"

……

At six o'clock, Kogoro Mouri and Reiko returned.

After Lin Xiuyi finished preparing the staff meal, Koizumi Akane sat down at the table without any hesitation, her eyes fixed on the fragrant dishes.

"This isn't for the guests!" Reiko said, hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Akane Koizumi.

Ever since the fortune telling yesterday, she's disliked her brother's classmate. "So, does that mean I don't have to pay?" Akane blinked, her expression innocent.

"you"

Lingzi's cheeks turned red with anger, and she was about to lash out when Lin Xiuyi stopped her.

"Hmph, shameless!" My little cousin muttered as she sat down, deliberately making a loud noise as she pulled the chair out.

"Koizumi-kun, have some," Kogoro Mouri enthusiastically invited. "Shuichi's cooking is superb."

“It’s really good,” Akane Koizumi said, savoring the food with a satisfied expression. “It seems that even the puppet butler in the house needs to know how to cook.”

The witch nodded thoughtfully.

Her words silenced the table instantly. Everyone looked at each other, confused. Only Lin Xiuyi shook her head helplessly.

After dinner, the izakaya (Japanese pub) opened for business.

Lin Xiuyi and the others were busy with their own things, and Koizumi Akane did not leave either. She sat alone by the window, resting her chin on her hand and watching the busy crowd.

Eri Kisaki finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She strode over and slammed her hand on the table: "Hey, if you're not going to eat, don't occupy the table. We still have business to do!"

Akane Koizumi slowly turned her head, took out two 10,000 yen bills from her pink wallet, and handed them over: "Is this enough?"

"We're an izakaya! Not a beggar's pub!" Eri Kisaki clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she shouted angrily, "If you're not going to order anything, please leave!"

“But I’ve already eaten,” Akane Koizumi rubbed her tummy. “That guy’s cooking was really good. Anyway, I should go home.”

The girl stood up and casually slipped the money into Eri's hand.

"I said we won't," Eri Kisaki was about to refuse when Akane Koizumi spoke up first, "This is the money for meals for the next few days."

"You're coming again tomorrow?" Eri's eyes widened, and her voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

“Of course,” Akane Koizumi nodded matter-of-factly. “He’s already agreed to tutor me. If he’s not here, then come to my house.”

"No!" Eri Kisaki immediately interrupted.

At the izakaya, it was alright with her watching over things, but if she really went to the other person's house, a lone man and woman... she didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

“That’s settled then,” Akane Koizumi nodded in satisfaction. “See you tomorrow, you irritable Princess.”

The girl deliberately dragged out her words, then waved to Lin Xiuyi at the kitchen counter: "I want ramen tomorrow!"

After saying this, Akane Koizumi yawned and walked away from the izakaya.

"Hmph, another one's clinging to you," Eri Kisaki said irritably as she walked to the kitchen counter. "What did you tell me before?"

"What did I say before?" Lin Xiuyi pretended not to remember and quickly changed the subject. "Oh right, didn't Yukiko say that filming would be finished this weekend? Maybe she can even go to the beach with us."

"Just play dumb!"

Eri glared at him, then, thinking of Yukiko Fujimine's imminent return, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Since Akane Koizumi likes coming to izakayas, why don't we let her work here starting tomorrow?"

Lin Xiuyi looked at the girl in front of her in surprise: "Didn't you dislike her?"

“What good is it if I don’t like it?” Eri rolled her eyes at him. “If I don’t like it, will you stop her from coming to the izakaya?”

"Well... I've already promised her, I can't go back on my word," Lin Xiuyi said with a dry laugh.

“Then let her stay,” Eri Kisaki said expressionlessly. “The more people help, the easier things will be for everyone.”
