Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Sonoko was secretly smiling to herself; she was already quite hungry after walking around for so long.

However, she hadn't said anything yet, waiting for the guy next to her to take the initiative to invite her. Now that he had finally done so, she was in a pretty good mood.

She smiled and said, "Great! I'm actually a little hungry too. What shall we eat?"

Osamu Shiraishi began searching through his memories for restaurants he could now accept.

He quickly found a place in his memory that was cheap, affordable, and delicious.

"Let's go to an offal barbecue restaurant! I know one that's really good."

Chapter 0013: Getting Along Well

Offal barbecue restaurant.

The aroma was enticing, the atmosphere was lively, and there were quite a few people in the store, but it didn't feel crowded.

Osamu Shiraishi had a certain appreciation for the garden.

That means that even though the other party is a rich heiress, she wouldn't look down on poor people or ordinary places.

If she didn't reveal her identity, many people wouldn't think of her as one of the heirs to the famous Suzuki Group.

Shiraishi Osamu gently placed the offal on the grill. As soon as he brushed on a layer of seasoning, it sizzled and emitted a wonderful aroma.

Combined with the aromas wafting from the grills of the surrounding customers, the entire offal barbecue restaurant was filled with an appetizing fragrance.

"tasty?"

Yuanzi ate the food in small bites, her eyes almost turning into crescent moons with laughter.

"Not bad, right?"

Shiraishi Osamu was also smiling; he wasn't eating yet, as he was focused on grilling.

"Uh-huh?"

Sonoko nodded, looking at Shiraishi Osamu, feeling incredibly satisfied. This was the kind of romance she had always wanted.

She felt the atmosphere for romance would be even better if there weren't so many people around.

"Xiu, you should eat too!"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll bake a lot more."

"How about I help out too?"

"Can you do it?"

Shiraishi Osamu had some doubts. He might have some trust in her if she were making chocolate, but he really didn't believe the rich young lady in front of him when it came to this kind of grilled meat.

"I……"

Sonoko really wanted to say that she could do it, but when she thought about her own level, she gave up.

"You do it, I won't cause any trouble."

She absolutely had to stand out now and show her best side to Shiraishi Xiu, otherwise, if he didn't like her, she would be in big trouble if she confessed her feelings.

So, in order to develop this ordinary friendship into a romantic relationship, Sonoko has already made a lot of preparations in advance.

"Ha ha……"

Shiraishi Xiu smiled.

I felt a sense of relief.

Although he didn't know how good Sonoko's cooking was, he didn't have much money, and he would lose a lot if he wasted the ingredients.

Fortunately, this lively girl knew when to back down.

He still has nine more cashback coupons to buy, and this barbecue meal will be just enough to make up for it. Although he considers money worthless, he can still have it.

"Xiu, are you free tomorrow?"

"It's hard to say. I recently lost my job and am currently looking for work."

[A petty thug.]

[Where did I just lose my job...?]

Shiraishi Osamu inwardly berated himself, but he still had to put on a show.

Sonoko's eyes lit up immediately, and she said calmly, "Would you like me to introduce you to a job?"

Her thinking was very simple.

Use your family connections to find Shiraishi Osamu a job that's convenient for him, preferably in your father's company, that would be even better.

"I won't trouble you with this; I can handle it myself."

Osamu Shiraishi refused.

Now that he has the system, he doesn't want to go to work every day like before, except for his days off.

He was tired of that kind of life. Before, he had no chance to resist, but now that he had the system, he could resist, so there was no need for it anymore.

He now wants to go everywhere to complete the system's daily check-in tasks and get all sorts of rewards. If possible, flying and teleporting would also be nice.

However, judging from how stingy the system is, it's hard to say when I'll be able to obtain this ability.

Fortunately, the timeline after the start of the Conan world storyline is quite chaotic, giving him enough time to complete these tasks and earn daily login rewards. Anything is possible then.

Half an hour later...

This barbecue lunch is over.

When Shiraishi Osamu went to pay the bill, he spent over 400 yen. He deliberately ordered a few more dishes, bringing the total to 5400 yen, and began his money-spending spree.

I was lucky enough to trigger a 3x rebate, and my assets successfully reached 16200 yen. I still have 8 more rebate coupons to buy.

They left the store.

Sonoko then smiled and said, "Shu, thank you for the lunch, it was really delicious. If you have the chance tomorrow, let me treat you to one!"

"I'd really like it, but I'll have to see if there are any other jobs available first."

This time, Osamu Shiraishi didn't rush to refuse.

If there's no sign-in task tomorrow, he could consider it.

Sonoko said happily, "Haha, that's perfect! Although I really want to curse you to not find a job, I'm not that kind of bad girl. I wish you all the best in finding a satisfactory job."

Bai Shixiu said, "Thank you for your kind words."

Sonoko suddenly said, "Sigh, I'm about to leave."

Shiraishi Xiu paused for a moment, then said, "It's better for a girl not to stay out alone for too long. It's safer to go back."

Sonoko swung her bag and chuckled, "I was planning to go shopping with Ran, but she didn't show up. I'm so angry! I've decided to go to her house to find her later."

"Okay, bye then."

Osamu Shiraishi smiled and waved to Sonoko, then turned and left with great poise.

Sonoko looked at Shiraishi Osamu's tall, slender back, grinned, and silently jumped up.

She was particularly satisfied with today.

I also think it's a good thing that Xiaolan didn't come today, as no one is bothering me.

A feeling began to spread through her heart: she knew she would have a lot more contact with Shiraishi Osamu in the future.

Chapter 0014: A Woman Beside Me

After wandering around for a while, when he got bored, Shiraishi Osamu returned to his room in the manga cafe.

Although the private room is small, it has a bed, a computer desk, and a small table, so the space is not bad.

Moreover, he lives alone and finds this private room quite comfortable. If possible, he hopes to stay here until the plot begins, and then the timeline becomes chaotic, so maybe he can stay here indefinitely.

Most importantly, the place offers free food and accommodation, and you can even wash your clothes. Aside from the small size of the place, it's practically the life of a tycoon.

"Ugh……"

"The idea is good, but ultimately it's not my own. When will I ever be able to own a house in this world..."

He really wants to complete the daily check-in task now.

I don't want any extra superpowers; I'd be happy just to have a house.

"Oh right, I remember I haven't claimed the reward for increasing my physical fitness by one-fifth yet."

He became excited when he thought of this.

While it's not a superpower, strengthening one's physique is essentially the same as strengthening one's abilities.

Shiraishi Xiu hurriedly said, "System, collect my reward from this morning."

嗡?

The space trembled.

Soon, a small circular ripple, about the size of a fist, formed in mid-air.

Under Shiraishi Xiu's surprised and somewhat astonished gaze, a small ball of light slowly fell down.

He didn't dare delay, and quickly reached out to take it. Looking at the ball of light, the size of a fingernail in his palm, he swallowed slightly.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

It's just a small reward to improve physical fitness, is it really necessary to make it so fantastical?

Inside the sphere of light, it looked as if a rainbow was spinning—or rather, it resembled a snake, as if it possessed a soul, slowly moving about.

"Gurgle..."

Shiraishi Xiu's throat bobbed as he asked uneasily, "System! Are you sure you didn't send the wrong reward?"

"Ding! Nothing!"

"No, when I read novels, other systems either immediately start improving physical constitution or directly provide a bottle of pills. This glowing little ball of yours is clearly not an ordinary object. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Ding! Nothing!"

"No, even if it doesn't, does this little ball only have a minor ability to enhance physical fitness?"

"Ding! Yes!"
