Chapter 416
Morofushi Takaaki had been praised for his intelligence since childhood, but now he felt that his comprehension ability seemed to be somewhat low, because he could not understand what kind of mentality Usaku Saiki was in telling people to "please accept my condolences".
Could it be that Bo Yezaki isn't a member of the Public Security Bureau? Was his previous behavior all a charade to mislead him?
Judging from the behavior of this "Amuro Tooru", he doesn't seem to care much about what Usaku Saiki is doing outside. He just guesses that there might be a misunderstanding and comes to ask about the situation. If the other party is an enemy or even an informant bribed by the Public Security Bureau, he shouldn't have this attitude. He should at least be more cautious and vigilant.
Morofushi Takaaki quickly reviewed his thoughts in a short period of time, and, considering the national conditions of Japan, came to a conclusion—
That Usakabe Saiki, although he seems very smart, is very irresponsible. He's probably a second-generation rich kid or someone with connections who's just here to get a prestigious resume.
So others can't control it, they can only clean up the mess.
...Even the public security forces are like this now? Japan is truly doomed.
Because of Morofushi Takami's silence, Amuro Tooru had already consciously gone further in his explanation.
"Some people say that 'please accept my condolences' means to stop grieving because there's no need to... Of course, it could also mean something else, which requires understanding the context and is quite challenging."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fugaoming fell even more silent.
Judging from Amuro Tooru's attitude, Kagemitsu is most likely really alright... He recalled the context of Usaku Saiki telling him "please accept my condolences" and suddenly understood.
—It literally means "Your brother can't come to see you. I know you may be sad, but please accept my condolences."
Thinking about it this way, he could even guess when Usaku Saiki said "please accept my condolences" to Kagemitsu... it must have been after he visited him in the hospital!
Is that guy some elementary school student who just learned the word "please accept my condolences" and is using it everywhere?!
Zhu Fu Gaoming was usually calm, but when he thought about his wild thoughts and grief these past few days, he couldn't help but feel suffocated.
Amuro Tooru didn't explicitly tell people not to believe Usaku Saiki, because he felt that what he said was enough for a smart person. Usaku Saiki's outrageous image was already very vivid, and Morofushi Takami, as the victim, would definitely remember this lesson and understand it the next time he encountered Usaku Saiki!
Moreover, since he was so cautious in his conversations, he didn't need to worry about Morofushi Takaaki saying anything inappropriate to Usui Saiki...
Amuro Tooru then stopped mentioning these things, and normally gave directions to an inn, then went to buy groceries, and after buying the groceries, went to the Usui-Saiki family's house.
Usaku Saiki had given him the key before, but Amuro Tooru was still cautious and rang the doorbell first, then used the key after a while when no one came to open the door.
Upon opening the door, one is greeted by a chaotic entryway filled with floor-to-ceiling coat racks, so messy that one might mistake it for a mass grave. The faint sounds of game effects can also be heard.
Sure enough, it was the right decision not to use the key to open the door directly, otherwise Usakabe Saiki might have thrown out a line like, "Do you think this is your home? You can just come in whenever you want."
Amuro Tooru struggled through the entryway, where clothes easily got caught, and entered the living room, where he saw Usui Saiki sitting on the carpet, staring at the screen playing a game.
However, without even turning his head, Usoppei knew who it was: "If I had known you were coming to cook for me, I wouldn't have gone to buy sandwiches."
Toru Amuro: "..."
This guy is really rude... I'll tolerate it for the sake of saving Jingguang.
And what do you mean "if only I had known"? This kid must have deliberately gone to him and said those things to hint that he should come to him!
Amuro Tooru carried the ingredients to the kitchen, asked Usui Saiki how she wanted to eat the beef, then silently made dinner, served it to Usui Saiki, and called her to eat.
Usoba Saiki: "Wait until I finish this level!"
Twenty minutes passed, and Amuro Tooru's temples bulged with veins: "Is it still not over?"
"Almost there, almost there..."
"You've said that four times already!"
Amuro Tooru had always considered himself a responsible person. He believed that when he got married and had children, he would never leave all the responsibility of raising the children to his wife. He would participate himself and learn advanced parenting experience, and he would not engage in the kind of Showa-era male chauvinism.
But now he feels he may have overestimated his patience.
What do you do when someone just plays video games and refuses to eat? He thought he could reason with them and present the facts, but in reality, all he wanted to do was beat up Usakabe Saiki.
Usakabe Saiki's gaming skills are seriously terrible! And he's terrible at it, yet he loves to play!
Amuro Tooru took a deep breath: "If we don't eat it now, it won't taste as good..."
Usoppei had just died, so he simply put down the game controller and complained, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Toru Amuro: "…………"
If he beats up Bo Yezaki now, will Bo Yezaki go to the boss and report him as an undercover agent to get rid of him?
However, this is when people use their rationality. Amuro Tooru is not a person who likes violence. He reluctantly endured it because Usaku Saiki finally agreed to eat, and even went to reheat the food.
After washing her hands, Bo Yezaki returned and glanced at the table: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Amuro Tooru was taken aback by the sudden concern, and his anger subsided a little: "I ate at the coffee shop."
Usoya Saiki nodded, then picked up his chopsticks: "Is there anything you want to say?"
"I hope you don't hang around near Inspector Morofushi." Amuro Tooru remembered his purpose for coming, which was also why he had taken the initiative to cook and tolerated so many of Usui Saiki's faults.
That's how it is when you need someone's help...
But he was also taking precautions.
Originally, the organization had not yet investigated Morofushi Kagemitsu's identity. After all, before he went undercover, all the files and documents had been destroyed, and the organization's mole within the Public Security Bureau did not know the specific situation.
However, if Usaku Saiki were to get close to Morofushi Takaaki, and if members of organizations like Vodka were to notice, it would be easy to discover that Morofushi Takaaki looks somewhat like Morofushi Kagemitsu. If the investigation were to proceed further, it could potentially endanger Morofushi Takaaki.
The probability is low, but not entirely impossible, after all, Japan is such a small country!
For the safety of his friend and his friend's brother, Amuro Tooru had no choice but to ask Usui Saiki for help.
Usoppai knew exactly what Amuro Tooru was worried about, but he wasn't worried about that himself, because he had the [Universal Navigation] on and could easily find out if there were any people around him he needed to avoid.
However, he couldn't agree so easily, so Bo Yezaki deliberately pretended to be deep in thought: "Hmm... well..."
Amuro Tooru was filled with unease, suspecting that Usaku Saiki harbored ill intentions.
After raising a wave of doubts, Bo Yezaki finally relented: "Do I look like such an unreasonable person? No problem! Just you wait and see!"
Toru Amuro: "………………"
He didn't make any demands at all, which makes me even more worried! What mischief is this kid up to?!
Just like how he always felt that the information he received was suspicious, and that the information he obtained through great difficulty or by spending a lot of money was more credible, Amuro Tooru was very uneasy.
He offered, "As long as conditions permit, I will try my best to cook for you. I have a good relationship with the coffee shop owner and can use the coffee shop's kitchen to cook it."
Bo Yezhai: [Look, he's even offering benefits! Sometimes you really do have to be a little generous!]
Suspicion value system: [...]
The problem is, it's precisely because you readily agreed that Amuro Tooru is so worried!
Amuro Tooru really looks like an undercover system now! He's getting all sorts of freebies!
Does Usakabe Saiki have some kind of strange magnetic field? He seems to attract this type of person.
Undercover system, take a look at this setup and reflect on whether you've been tricked!
It's unclear whether the undercover system has seen through the true nature of the incident, but at least Usoppō Saiki has gotten something out of it.
Amuro Tooru, who finally felt at ease after doing something, took a breath and diligently helped prepare breakfast for the next day, put it in the refrigerator, and even helped Usaku Saiki, who was stuck, clear the level before leaving.
Then, early in the morning, Usakabe Saiki was woken up by the doorbell.
He opened his eyes and aggressively opened the [Universal Navigation] app, deciding that if it was something like proselytizing, he wouldn't hold back. But instead, he saw the names of Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan.
Bo Yezhai: "…………"
He stared at the "omnipotent navigation" for a while, wanting to play dead, but then he thought that since he was already awake, the suspicion level that was delivered to his door was too high... so he reluctantly got up and opened the door.
Hattori Heiji smiled broadly: "Usui-nii, sorry to bother you! Are you still sleeping? It's already 10 o'clock!"
Usakabe Saiki said irritably, "Conan, your level is too low. How did Heiji find out where I live after only one day?"
Conan Edogawa coughed and mimicked Saiki Usaku's words: "Don't worry about the details."
Hattori Heiji was visiting Usui Saiki's house for the first time, looking around with great curiosity: "Usui-nii, why do you have so many floor-standing coat racks here? And why did you buy so many TVs? What's with the color of these walls? Who did you hire as a designer? Oh, and..."
Usoya Saiki yawned: "I'll go wash up first. Could you heat up the breakfast in the fridge for me?"
Heiji Hattori knew he had disturbed her sleep. Although it wasn't early, he was still eager to make amends. He accepted the task without objection and opened the refrigerator.
Then he was stunned by a cabinet full of chilled drinks, and the only lunchbox in the refrigerator looked so dazzling.
"...Does Usoppei-san have a hoarding habit?" Hattori Heiji asked doubtfully.
Conan Edogawa chuckled twice: "You can just ask."
There's no point in saying this since no one's around. Heiji Hattori opened the lunchbox and saw that it contained curry rice, so he put it in the microwave to heat it up.
While heating it up, Hattori Heiji also took a look around the kitchen and unexpectedly discovered signs of use... Usui-san can actually cook for himself? It really doesn't seem like it!
Hattori Heiji muttered to himself again, "If someone has a hoarding habit and cooks for themselves, shouldn't their refrigerator be full of ingredients?"
Why are there only drinks? Or are they all in the freezer section?
Conan Edogawa's lips twitched: "I don't think Usopp-san is in the mood to cook for himself..."
Soon, the curry rice was heated up in the microwave. As soon as Hattori Heiji opened the microwave door, he smelled an extremely strong aroma, which was much better than most curry rice he had ever eaten, making him hungry.
Conan Edogawa also smelled the odor and a suspicious look appeared on his face.
This smells just like the food Amuro Tooru made at Poirot Cafe. Did Bo Ye-ge even go to Poirot Cafe to get one to go for breakfast?
Shouldn't he have hitched a ride with us to the Mouri Detective Agency on his way back to Tokyo yesterday?! Why did we split up?! Suddenly you don't mind the hassle anymore?

I'll add more chapters later.

Thin Leaf: OK
Amuro Tooru: Why did you agree so readily all of a sudden? There must be a conspiracy. I have to do something...
Suspicion Value System: ...You can't stop someone from wanting to give things away for free.
