Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

His gaze darted around, avoiding Akiko's eyes. "Uncle, he's now..."

Before he could finish speaking, the long-awaited doorbell rang suddenly, immediately diverting Akiko's attention, and she excitedly patted his face.

"A guest has arrived!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the door.

Shotaro smiled along, breathed a sigh of relief, put down his book, and followed her toward the door. "What a coincidence..."

This new guest arrived just in time!

"welcome......"

As soon as Akiko opened the door, before she could finish speaking, a group of people rushed in from outside.

The first female client to enter, with a serious expression, pleaded with her in rapid succession:

"Please, please help me find my father." People behind him also spoke up, rushing in one by one to make their requests.

Akiko was so startled by the sudden commotion that she retreated several steps. When she came to her senses, she tried to hear their requests, but because everyone had a request and wanted to speak, the combined voices were extremely noisy.

Her eyes felt dizzy and her head felt swollen.

Akiko couldn't take it anymore and spread her arms to stop them.

shouted:

"Please calm down!!!"

The atmosphere instantly turned cold.

A group of people stared intently at her.

After the earlier commotion subsided, Akiko let out a long breath and calmly analyzed the situation: "Are you all relatives of the missing persons?"

The group said in unison:

"no."

Akiko looked at them with a completely bewildered expression.

"Huh? So, you're all here to take on a case? A lot of people have gone missing?"

They nodded quickly.

Shotaro, standing nearby, asked in confusion:

"Then how come you all came together?"

The person at the front explained, "Because all the missing people had the same job."

Another person added, "We called the police, but they didn't take it seriously at all."

Shotaro frowned slightly. "What kind of jobs did those missing people have?"

They said in unison again:

"Pastry chef!"

Everyone?

This is... a bit strange.

Shotaro Zuo touched the middle of the transfer group 37 touched his chin 1729119.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Client - Asakawa Mai! Wakana feeds Lu Chen imported desserts!

...

In the end, Shotaro and his team accepted the case. Akiko and Shotaro immediately took action, spending a lot of time investigating the missing person's background and visiting the dessert shop.

After many twists and turns, Shotaro finally stopped at a dessert shop to summarize and organize the information he already knew.

Sitting at a table, after smelling the dessert in front of him, Shotaro exclaimed:

"smell good."

"However, the sweet aroma of cream really doesn't suit my tough guy image."

Just as he was reviewing the results of today's visits and investigations, a sudden blow struck his head, the unexpected pain instantly contorting his face!

"it hurts!"

When he looked up, he saw Akiko holding a green slipper and saying to him:

"What's there to be picky about?!"

Akiko sat down in the seat next to him. "So many people have entrusted this to you, and so much money is involved. You absolutely have to do a good job this time!"

As she spoke, Akiko pulled out a stack of papers from her small bag, her face beaming.

The deposits from clients alone are already this much. Once this project is completed, Narumi Architects won't have to worry about money for a long time to come.

Shotaro sighed helplessly at Akiko's money-grubbing expression, adjusted his hat, and nodded, saying, "Understood..."

"I will do my job well."

"but!"

He then raised a finger and pointed at Akiko in front of him, "You need to go back to the agency."

Hearing this, Akiko said, somewhat angrily and aggrievedly, "Why do you always try to get rid of me?"

"Because it's dangerous!" Shotaro replied instinctively, then continued somewhat awkwardly:

"I want to protect you, for the sake of Uncle, it's my responsibility."

When the uncle was mentioned, his eyes darted around, and he sighed softly. Akiko curled her lip, somewhat disdainful.

"Why are you acting like a guardian? You're clearly just a half-baked amateur, I'm not listening to you!!!"

Shotaro was so angry at her words that he glared at her. "You..." Before he could say anything more, Akiko's next question left him speechless. "And what exactly did my father do? Tell me now!"

"Uncle..."

Shotaro's expression changed slightly. Just as he was hesitating whether to tell Akiko the truth, the appearance of two figures instantly gave him a sense of relief. He quickly pointed towards them:

"Look! It's them!"

"Who is it?" Akiko turned her head in confusion and curiosity, only to find that Lu Chen and Princess Wakana had also entered the cake shop.

"Still so handsome..."

Lu Chen's perfect face was something that a little girl like Akiko couldn't resist. She immediately became a lovesick girl. Seeing this, Zuo Xiangtaro breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the crisis was over!

......

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first meeting with Mai Asakawa! You have received a gift!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the Asakawa Mai character greeting gift - Dessert Cooking Mastery!"

"Hello, three cakes, please."

Lu Chen said with a smile.

When Asakawa Mai, the agent store owner, saw him, she looked away with some reluctance.

He just stared at her blankly without saying a word.

"Tsk!" A sound full of displeasure and threat rang out. Asakawa Mai came back to her senses and looked towards the source of the sound, only to find that it was Sonozaki Wakana.

She glanced at Lu Chen again, and seeing that Ruocai's hands were linked with his arm, Asakawa Mai had a guess in her mind, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look anymore.

Respectfully:

"Miss Wakana! Um..."

What type do you need?

"One of the newest, one of the most popular, and one of the most classic, please," Lu Chen said.

"Ok, I see."

Asakawa Mai nodded repeatedly and immediately began to work. Seeing that she was sensible, Wakana gave a satisfied hum and then asked Lu Chen:

"Why three portions?"

There were only two of them, which was more than three portions.

If we count by the members of the Sonozaki family.

Three portions are not enough.

"The most classic one is for Uncle, the most popular one is for Saeko, and as for the newest model..."

Let's taste it together.

Lu Chen gave his answer, and Ruo Cai was somewhat surprised by it, but...

very satisfied.
