Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

The door was pushed open again, and Kogoro Mouri walked up from the office on the second floor.

"Dad, come and see, Xiaoche got first place in the exam." Xiaolan shook the paper in her hand and told Maori Kogoro the good news.

"Oh? Really?" Maori Kogoro walked over and saw the perfect score on the paper. He was relieved, as if everything was his own achievement. He patted Watanabe Toru on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Well done, Toru. But don't get complacent. You have to keep up this strength. Remember, only excellent people can become detectives."

Watanabe Toru chuckled in his heart and accepted it humbly: "I understand, Uncle Maori."

Maori Kogoro nodded in satisfaction: "Well, let's have a drink today to celebrate Kotetsu getting first place in the exam."

……

The next day, Saturday, was also a nice day.

The sky is blue and clear, and the young leaves of the trees are sparkling.

"Dad, Xiao Toru and I will go out first." Xiaolan held Watanabe Toru's hand and said to Maori Kogoro who was reading the newspaper.

She was wearing a white long-sleeved and high-waisted dress today, which was tightly tied at the waist, outlining her seductive body curves.

Because Watanabe Toru got the first place in the exam, according to the agreement, she will take him to a big dinner today.

"Yeah." Mao Li Xiaowu temporarily turned his eyes away from the newspaper. He had to go out to do something soon, so he didn't go with them. "Be careful on the road."

After leaving the office, Watanabe Toru looked at Xiaolan who was texting on her phone and asked, "Sister Xiaolan, isn't Sister Sonoko here yet?"

Yuanzi wanted to have dinner with them, and Xiaolan had already told him in advance.

"She has already left home and should be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, a short-haired girl appeared across the street. She was wearing a white off-the-shoulder dress that was sexy but not revealing at all, with only a hint of her collarbone visible. She was wearing jeans and holding a handbag, looking very cool.

"Xiaolan."

She walked across the street, waving and calling Xiaolan's name.

"Yuanzi, you're so slow." Xiaolan complained.

Yuanzi smiled sheepishly and said, "I forgot to set the alarm last night and overslept."

He leaned over and greeted Watanabe Toru again: "Kid, long time no see. I heard you got first place in this monthly test. That's pretty impressive."

"It's just good luck." Watanabe Toru remained humble: "Sonoko-sama is so beautiful today too."

"Hahaha." Sonoko was very pleased with the flattery and laughed out loud twice. "Ran, Tohru is much more talkative than your Kudo. That guy can really make people angry to death."

"Yuanzi~" Xiaolan said to her bestie speechlessly, "Let's go, or we'll have to wait in line for a seat."

Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at a restaurant called "k-on". The waiter led them to their seats and handed them the menus.

Although it was noon, all the lights were on and there was no music playing in the restaurant. The low and comfortable conversations of the guests made the place seem even quieter.

In fact, from the pages of wine on the menu and the waiters who are responsible for pouring wine, you can tell that this restaurant is not cheap.

Xiaolan spent a lot of money on this dinner.

After we ordered, the waiter left with the menu.

Sonoko held her face with both hands and asked Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, didn't you ask Kudo to come with you?"

"Why are you calling that guy? Every weekend, he just reads mystery novels or reads some cases."

"Hehe, even so, someone still likes him."

"Yuanzi~ If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you."

"Come on, I'm just kidding."

As we were talking, the waiter brought the steak, which was grilled to perfection.

There is also lightly grilled abalone with sliced ​​tangerines on the side.

"By the way," Sonoko said as she elegantly cut the beef with a knife, "Next week our Suzuki Group is hosting a banquet, and there will be many young talents attending. Xiaolan, do you want to come along? You might meet your future husband."

Ignoring the last sentence, Xiaolan shook her head: "No, it's not appropriate for me to go to your Suzuki Group's banquet."

"That doesn't matter." Sonoko said nonchalantly, "There are lots of delicious food at the banquet. Oh, and Che, come along too."

024. Rescue the unknown girl

Watanabe Toru, who was cutting steak, suddenly stopped.

Temporary event: At 8:30 PM on May 20th, an unknown girl will hide in an alley surrounded by two men (click to start navigation)

〖Activity content: Rescue the unknown girl〗

[Event time: before 9:00 PM on May 20th]

[Activity Rewards: Master - Free Fighting, 50% off coupon for mall items*1, 10,000 points]

[Activity Restrictions: Players must be alone in this activity. Calling the police, friends, or other methods to increase the number of people is prohibited. If the activity is disrupted, the consequences will be borne by the player.]

After assisting Mrs. Yoshida in committing a crime, will the next scene be one of a hero saving a beauty?

Watanabe Toru stuffed the beef into his mouth and began to organize his thoughts.

First is Article 274 of the "Appendix": The rewards for temporary activities are proportional to the difficulty coefficient.

Compared with the previous two temporary events, this time the reward includes a 50% discount coupon for mall items. In other words, this event will be more difficult and may even involve personal risks.

Watanabe Toru looked at the "Healing Medicine" in the mall that cost 100 points per pill. It seemed that he had to buy it.

"Xiao Che, Xiao Che..."

Sonoko's voice interrupted Watanabe Toru's thoughts.

Watanabe Toru uttered an "ah" and looked at Sonoko blankly: "What's the matter, Sonoko-sister?"

"Huh? Weren't you listening?" Sonoko said with some dissatisfaction, repeating what she had just said: "Remember to come to my sister's house with Xiaolan when the time comes. You can eat a lot of delicious food."

"Okay." Watanabe Toru nodded and casually asked, "When is the banquet?"

"Let me think about it. It seems to be the night of the 20th."

"number 20?"

Watanabe Toru was stunned. The impromptu event also took place on the 20th. Was it a coincidence? Or was that unknown girl connected to this party?

Watanabe Toru suddenly felt that thinking about this was pointless. He might as well consider buying a weapon to defend himself. After all, with the strength of his body, if he went head-on against two strong men, he would undoubtedly only get beaten.

……

After a few days of clear skies, it started to drizzle again.

The dripping raindrops fell on the tall green plants in the campus flower beds, gathered into crystal water droplets at the tips of the branches and leaves, and then fell heavily, splashing everywhere.

A new week has arrived and Ayumi has returned to school.

With the influence of time, her spirits improved a lot, and a sweet smile occasionally appeared on her delicate little face. The sadness of her father's death seemed to be slowly fading away.

The last class in the afternoon is the weekly home economics class - cooking or sewing clothes.

The cooking classroom was already full of people, and they started to form groups freely.

"Watanabe-san, do you want to join us?"

The three girls walked towards Watanabe Toru and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Watanabe Toru was about to speak, but Ayumi answered for him first: "Toru is already in our group."

Watanabe Toru looked apologetic and declined, "Sorry, Yamaguchi-san, maybe next time."

"Okay." The girl named Yamaguchi Naomi sighed regretfully.

"Cheung-toru is really popular." Mitsuhiko, standing nearby, said with envy, "Including Yamaguchi and the others, there are already twelve girls who have come to invite Cheung-toru."

"Hmph." Ayumi sniffed and snorted in displeasure: "Xiao Che won't be in the same group with them, right Xiao Che?"

Watanabe Toru smiled. At this moment, Ayumi looked as if she was jealous.

〖You have an email〗

〖Game time: On the afternoon of May 17th, a seven-year-old girl was jealous of you〗

〖To commemorate this special day, the game store has been updated〗

Is this also possible?

Watanabe Toru glanced at Ayumi, who was puffing up her face, and clicked on the "Mall" on the panel.

Sure enough, the items above have been updated.

〖物品：APTX-4869一小时解药（原价：1万/特价：1000）仅限购买一次，服用后24小时内二次服用无效、无比美味的棒棒糖（5000）、安眠靠枕（1万）〗

〖Body function recovery 1%: 5 points〗

Skills: Beginner - Flower Arranging (100), Master - Piano Playing (1000), Proficient - Photo Editing (1), Master - Lip Reading (10)

Watanabe Toru wiped his eyes and after confirming that the words "APTX-4869 antidote" were still there, he almost hugged Ayumi and spun around twice.

Although it can only be purchased once and the antidote only lasts for one hour, it is already a huge surprise for Toru Watanabe.

The special-priced APTX-4869 antidote can only be purchased once. If it is refreshed to the regular price next time and you have enough points, can you buy it many times?

Moreover, since there is an antidote that lasts for an hour, then there should also be an antidote that lasts for a day, a week, a month, or even forever.

025. Sister Xiaolan will win

The rain didn't stop until school was over.

Toru Watanabe was walking home at a leisurely pace, holding an umbrella that was big enough to cover his entire body.

He has already exchanged for the antidote for APTX-4869. It is just a very small white pill, and its appearance is not much different from the lozenges sold in pharmacies.

He had the urge to take the antidote immediately to see what he would look like as an adult. However, thinking of the mission in three days, Watanabe Toru restrained himself.

From a streetside shop, a rich aroma of truffles and cream wafted out. Watanabe Toru turned his head and saw the aroma was coming from a newly opened bakery called "Truffle-Bakery."

His stomach growled at the aroma of bread, and feeling a little hungry, Watanabe Toru prepared to buy some bread as a snack.

"welcome."

The voice sounded familiar. Seeing the clerk who was tidying the shelves turned around, Watanabe Toru asked in surprise: "Auntie, why is it you?"

"It's Toru." Mrs. Yoshida, who was wearing a work uniform and an apron tied around her waist, saw Watanabe Toru and said with a smile on her face, "Of course you work here. Now it's just Ayumi and I at home, so I have to work harder."

That's true. After all, Yoshida Fujiya is dead, and all the expenses of the family have to be borne by Mrs. Yoshida alone. If she doesn't go out to work, the survival of both mother and daughter will probably become a problem.

"Is it okay for Ayumi to be home alone?" asked Toru Watanabe.

"It's okay, she usually looks after the house by herself." Mrs. Yoshida was still very relieved about her daughter: "Besides, I only need to work until five o'clock and then I can go home."

"Is that so? From now on, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and I will spend more time with Ayumi after school."

"Thank you, Auntie." Mrs. Yoshida smiled and said, "By the way, Xiao Che, are you here to buy bread?"

"Hmm." Watanabe Toru touched his stomach and said, "I smelled a delicious smell when I passed by here, so I wanted to buy a piece of bread as a snack."

"Then Auntie recommends you buy this chocolate croissant. It's delicious and freshly baked."

"Then please give me one."

"Okay, please wait."

Mrs. Yoshida picked up a chocolate croissant with a pair of tongs and wrapped it in a newspaper-like bag.

When Watanabe Toru was about to hand over the money, Mrs. Yoshida waved her hand and said, "You helped me move last time. This piece of bread is my thank you."

"Thank you, Auntie." Watanabe Toru was not pretentious. After thanking Mrs. Yoshida, he happily left the store with the bread.

Maori Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri sat in his office chair, legs crossed, staring at the TV screen on the table. The ashtray was full of cigarette butts and empty beer cans were rolling everywhere. One can imagine how decadent Kogoro Mouri's day was.

Seeing Watanabe Toru push the door open and come in, he just raised his eyes and said, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Watanabe Toru put his schoolbag on the sofa. Not seeing Xiaolan, he asked, "Is Sister Xiaolan not back yet?"

"Well, she said that the National High School Karate Kanto Tournament is going to be held soon, so she will be training at the school's karate club after school during this period."

"I see. Sister Xiaolan is really working hard."

Five thirty in the evening.
