Chapter 2: The Blind Box Cafe, but the Detective Agency Upstairs



But Amuro Tooru isn't fair-skinned either, is he? ...

Think about the name of the character you created...

Taro looked on with a patient and persuasive expression.

"Toyama... Oh!" Yoruichi Toyama slapped her forehead. "It's Toyama Kazuha's Toyama!"

It seems that in the girl's original conception, she and Toyama Kazuha were supposed to be sisters.

That's someone you can't steal your sister's official partner from.

As for Ran, anyway, "Toyama Yoruichi" has nothing to do with her.

If Shinichi Kudo is indeed saved after the roller coaster incident, it's not entirely impossible for him to steal Ran away from him.

They're really shrewd with their little schemes!

Yoruichi Toyama decided to carry on the spirit of the little girl.

"Then you need to help me build up my public image, right? I'm currently unemployed, and I don't seem to know anyone locally. In a couple of days, I won't even be able to afford a hotel..."

Please wait.

This time, Taro didn't argue, but gave a concise answer.

The black cat lay quietly on the carpet, much to Yoruichi Toyama's surprise.

After about a minute, the cat didn't speak, but the clumsy electronic voice came on again.

[Beep—System upgrade compensation has been sent to your account. Please check.]

"Huh? What kind of compensation?"

[Given the host's unique transmigration circumstances, this transmigrated spirit has specially requested two blind box gift packs from the system. The host may choose to open them.]

"Activate." Yoruichi Toyama said nothing, ignoring the black cat's smug look of self-satisfaction.

But the dazzling golden special effects I had imagined didn't appear, and there wasn't even a notification sound.

[Blind Box #1: Opened. Reward: A street-front shop in Beika City (available for rent).]

"Wow!" Yoruichi Toyama didn't expect the system to be so generous, giving her a shop directly.

"Where is this shop? Can I go take a look?"

[Store Address: 5-39, Beikacho, Beika City]

[Shop Status: Rented.]

[Store Name: Poirot Cafe]

...

The hotel we had booked was a luxury hotel, but Yuanshan Ye didn't have time to enjoy it before rushing out.

He hadn't run two steps when he turned back, grabbed the black cat by the scruff of its neck, and stuffed it under his arm.

Taro meowed, sounding quite dissatisfied.

[Host, you should be a little more reserved. It's just a coffee shop...]

"Stop talking nonsense and give me some money!"

On the way back, Yoruichi Toyama had already checked her pockets; she was completely clean, even more so than her face.

Fortunately, I hitched a ride in a police car from the amusement park to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the hotel was not far from the Metropolitan Police Department, which avoided an extremely embarrassing situation.

But now...

When Taro saw Yoruichi Toyama wave down a taxi, he understood what was going on and, without making a sound, had already slipped a few bills into his trench coat pocket.

"Thank you for your help, go to..." Yoruichi Toyama gave the address before leaning back in the car seat and letting out a silent sigh.

"Not even a cell phone, that's just too..."

[Host, please note that in the Conan world, we're still in the era of landlines. There are no cell phones, not even pagers.]

...That's true too.

Yoruichi Toyama nodded, recalling the rapid technological advancements in the "six months" of the Detective Conan world.

"Without a cell phone to contact us, we need to get there even faster."

Why are you in such a hurry? The coffee shop isn't going anywhere...

According to the newly added setting, this shop was bequeathed to Yoruichi Toyama by a distant uncle. However, Yoruichi Toyama had been living overseas, so now she finally had the opportunity to officially take it over.

Beika City, judging from the Detective Conan manga, should be a ward of Tokyo, and might even be located in the heart of Tokyo, making land extremely valuable. The rental income from this café should be enough for Yoruichi Toyama to rent a nearby apartment and support her daily life.

This system compensation is just enough to allow Yoruichi Toyama to live peacefully in this world. It's called a blind box, but it might actually just be a way to coax him into doing missions.

Thinking of this, Yoruichi Toyama rolled her eyes at Taro beside her.

"I'm not doing this for the coffee shop."

"Don't play dumb with me. You're a transmigrated elf in charge of the Conan world, how could you not know about Poirot Cafe?"

"The detective agency of Kogoro Mouri is located upstairs."

"Don't forget, the failure of the mission to protect Shinichi Kudo means that he has been drugged by Gin and shrunk into Conan."

"Xiao Lan will take him home tonight, just in time for the case Uncle Mori has taken on."

"The kidnapping of a wealthy heiress is also Conan Edogawa's first case!"

...

The taxi pulled up in front of the coffee shop and had barely come to a stop when a middle-aged man rushed out from upstairs, flung open the door, and squeezed inside.

"Ah, there's a car right now! ...Driver, please take me to the Tani family mansion in Yayoi Town, I have an urgent matter!"

Yoruichi Toyama silently covered her nose with one hand, while patting Taro, who nimbly jumped onto her lap, with the other hand in a gesture of comfort.

There was no way around it; the smell of smoke and alcohol on this uncle was just too strong.

Moreover, if Taro hadn't dodged quickly, he would probably be squashed into a pancake by now.

The first appearance of the famous detective "Sleeping Kogoro" was truly a completely unpleasant experience!

"Hey, why aren't you driving yet?"

This middle-aged man seemed to have no eyes, constantly urging the taxi driver on.

"That's because I haven't gotten off the bus yet..." Yoruichi Toyama said helplessly.

"Ah...right!" Kogoro Mouri seemed to have just noticed his and Taro's presence, and immediately widened his eyes, "Why aren't you getting off the bus yet?"
