"However, I think it's already pretty good." Conan sensed the dissatisfaction in Professor Agasa's tone and quickly added.
"After all, this riddle was something you came up with on the spot, Doctor, so it's inevitable that there will be some simple questions. Even I might have made those mistakes."
"Actually, it is indeed a bit too simple." Professor Agasa's previously rather unpleasant expression softened considerably after hearing Conan's words.
They also acknowledged the problem that the riddle was too simple.
People, after all, need to save face.
"Next time, I'll come up with an even harder riddle for you to guess," Professor Agasa said to the group.
"Another corny riddle..." Conan thought for a moment, but didn't tell Professor Agasa that the riddles were corny.
The doctor is already so old, but he's still single. It's not easy for him to find hobbies, so he won't say anything more.
"Takoyaki? Haven't had any in a while?" Kōyū said after thinking for a moment, his mouth watering at the mention of takoyaki.
"Okay, after I finish giving my statement, I'll go buy a box or two to eat."
There are quite a few restaurants near the Metropolitan Police Department, and you can find all four kinds of snacks that Dr. Agasa mentioned earlier in the vicinity.
It's quite convenient.
"I want to buy takoyaki too, um... I'll buy three boxes." Ayumi heard what Kōyū said and also had the idea of buying takoyaki.
"I'll eat one box myself, and give the remaining two boxes to my dad and mom."
"I want to buy takoyaki too!" Genta is always very enthusiastic about food. After saying that, he started counting on his fingers.
"I'll take two boxes for myself... um, maybe three boxes, and then four boxes for Mom and Dad..."
"Genta, don't eat all the takoyaki later." Mitsuhiko teased Genta as usual, and then said, "I'll go buy a few boxes too."
"No way!" Genta crossed his arms and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Want to buy some takoyaki?" Professor Agasa thought for a moment, then smiled and said to the group, "Since everyone wants to eat takoyaki, I'll treat you all to your fill after we finish taking the statements."
He's no longer the Professor Agasa who used to invent gadgets to sell because he was short of money.
Ever since he successfully invented the kind of watercraft that Guangyou mentioned and licensed it to a company, he has been receiving a dividend regularly deposited into his bank account.
After deducting the portion donated by Guangyou and the portion he donated himself, the remaining dividends, although not a large amount, are still quite substantial.
Moreover, that company is very powerful, so he doesn't need to worry about it going bankrupt.
Simply put, he's not short of money anymore.
Besides, a serving of takoyaki doesn't cost much.
"Really?" Ayumi and the other two looked at Professor Agasa and nodded, then shouted happily, "Professor is the best!"
Seeing the genuine smiles on the faces of the three children, Dr. Agasa smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Then I'll ask you a riddle too," Ai suddenly said, as if she had just thought of something.
"A riddle?" Kōyū glanced at Ai, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Aside from emotional factors, Kōyū was indeed looking forward to Ai's riddle.
After all, Ai's riddles will be more difficult and more challenging.
Most importantly, there won't be any awkward silences.
"Let me finish." Ai rolled her eyes at Kouyuki, then asked, "Of those four snacks, which one is the most suitable for the Doctor?"
"Of those four snacks, which one would be most suitable for the professor..."
Everyone inside the car was deep in thought.
"No way..." Kōsuke knew a bit about Professor Agasa's daily diet, and because of that, after thinking for a short while, he came up with a possibility.
After all, Ai was in charge of the meals when he wasn't around.
He also knew Ai's personality.
"The answer is 'You are not allowed to eat any of them.'" Ai didn't wait too long; after giving everyone a brief moment to think, she revealed the answer.
"Because eating it will make you fatter."
"As expected..." Guangyou twitched his lips and thought to himself, "Seriously, this can't even be considered a mystery."
"..." The rest of the people in the car.
If we were to use emoticons to represent this, Ayumi and the others' expressions at this moment would be:
(?-ω-)-ω-)-ω-)
"What a disappointment..." Professor Agasa lowered his head and sighed.
He had originally wanted to buy a box of takoyaki, but given the current situation, he decided against it.
"Doctor, you need to take care of your health," Ai said earnestly. "You ate a lot of junk food while I was away the other day."
Although Professor Agasa was disappointed that he couldn't eat takoyaki, he knew it was for his own good.
So he nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand."
"Then let's go eat there!" Ayumi glanced at Professor Agasa's physique, then smiled and said to the others.
She also believes that Professor Agasa should eat less, or not eat, similar things anymore.
Delicious food is certainly enjoyable, but health is more important.
If you have health problems, you won't be able to eat any delicious food.
However, even though Professor Agasa doesn't eat it, they still go and eat it.
It wasn't about treating anyone; I just wanted to eat.
"Mmm!" Genta chuckled, patting his belly, and said, "We'll have to make sure the professor eats his fill!"
“Okay,” Ayumi replied to Mitsuhiko.
“...” Dr. Agasa HP-10.
