Recently, Tokyo Nichiuri TV host Yoko Okino conducted an exclusive interview. Her interviewee was the renowned private detective and special consultant to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department...
The landlady made two "oh" sounds, but her eyes were fixed on Yoruichi Toyama's blonde hair.
"Um... I dyed it, just letting loose a little after graduation..."
Yoruichi Toyama chuckled dryly.
"Then Yoruichi... my brother just happened to be graduating from England and came back, so I asked him to take me in for a while."
The two of them took turns speaking, and managed to piece together a fairly complete character profile.
The landlady had no suspicions. After signing the contract and collecting the deposit, she led them out to point out shops and banks, then waved goodbye.
Yoruichi Toyama breathed a long sigh of relief and grabbed Akemi Miyano's arm.
"Let's go inside and change! I don't want to go to the store to buy women's clothes looking like this!"
Akemi Miyano burst out laughing and slowly replied:
"But I think Mr. Toyama looks very charming right now!"
Despite saying that, the two of them quickly went back and swapped the only two sets of men's and women's clothing they had.
Yoruichi Toyama wiped the sweat from the wig and was about to speak when the landlady's voice rang out from outside the door again.
"Mr. Toyama, there are some things I forgot to tell you..."
The two looked at each other in bewilderment, and Miyano Akemi only had time to put on the golden wig.
"Mrs. Ishikawa..." Yoruichi Toyama, this time it was Yoruichi Toyama herself who went up to greet the landlady who was over 50 years old.
The landlady took his hand without any awkwardness and then went on and on about a whole bunch of trivial things in life.
It seemed that they couldn't tell the difference between the person in front of them and the "Mr. Yuanshan" from before.
She even squinted and sized up Miyano Akemi standing next to her.
"By the way, what is my cousin's full name? I need to write it on the tenant registration form."
“Uh…” Miyano Akemi, who had been answering questions fluently, paused for a moment and looked at Toyama Yoruichi for help.
“Her, her surname is Lin…” Yoruichi Toyama made up her mind, “Lynn Minmay, just write it in Roman letters or kana.”
Anyway, given Miyano Akemi's own creation of the "Nanyang Chinese" persona, it shouldn't be out of place to use a name that can be written in English.
The landlady smiled and nodded, then said goodbye and left.
This time, Miyano Akemi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Toyama Yoruichi with a half-smile.
"Mr. Toyama, do you like watching Macross?"
...
The two went out again and bought clothes and daily necessities. Miyano Akemi even made a tough decision to cut her long hair short and style it. With a Chanel-style suit, she looked quite like Audrey Hepburn.
However, she was vastly different from the country girl with braids who went to the Mouri Detective Agency, and the kind and capable bank clerk that Yoruichi Toyama met.
Yoruichi Toyama believed that even if Gin were to bump into her face right now, he wouldn't recognize her.
After all, he's a straight man who can mistake Sonoko Suzuki for Shiho Miyano just by looking at her hairstyle and hair color.
Although she still had to be careful in her actions, Yoruichi Toyama vaguely sensed in Fudoyama City that the influence of Shinigami Elementary School had greatly diminished.
For this, Kotaro deserves a lot of praise.
This blind box opening was perfect!
However, when Yoruichi Toyama swiped her card to pay, Akemi Miyano seemed to show a conflicted expression.
After leaving the barbershop, she hurriedly caught up with him, saying apologetically, "Mr. Toyama, you've spent so much money again..."
"I have to find a way; I can't keep going like this forever..."
Yoruichi Toyama glanced at her with some surprise.
"It's alright, isn't it? Miya... Oh, Akemi, given your current situation, isn't it normal for me to take care of your living expenses for the time being?"
Yoruichi Toyama has never been too concerned about spending money.
On the one hand, there are two shops that can be rented out, so it wouldn't be a problem to support Miyano Akemi or even a few more people.
On the other hand, he didn't want to save money.
Anyway, we'll leave once we've completed the mission. With so much money stored up in this world, is there anyone who can inherit it?
Of course, you should spend as much as you have.
"Okay, you don't need to worry."
Since she couldn't explain the above to Akemi Miyano, Yoruichi Toyama simply adopted the attitude of an "older cousin".
"Didn't I mention that my uncle also left a property here?"
"We're just out, shall we stop by and take a look?"
The main purpose was to take the opportunity to extract some working capital.
Akemi Miyano seemed thoughtful, but did not object.
The two hadn't walked far when they arrived at the address Taro had given them.
Unlike the rather grand ground-floor shops of Poirot Cafe, this store is much smaller.
The exterior is decorated with raw wood, and the signboard looks like a wooden board with bark hanging on the lintel.
Owl Cafe.
For some unknown reason, Taro, who was under Yoruichi Toyama's arm, suddenly sniffed.
