Chapter 7 My Chef Comes from the Organization
Akiyama Kanade went into the bathroom to wash off the blood on his hands, and then used the bandage given by Enomoto Azusa to tie it casually. It was not convenient to tie a knot with one hand, so he just stuffed the remaining bandage cloth in randomly to ensure that it would not fall off.
When I walked out of the bathroom again, Mao Lilan was there too.
Conan Edogawa told everyone that Akiyama Kanade was injured while helping to subdue the criminal.
Azusa Enomoto had one eye full of admiration and the other full of heartache, "Really, Mr. Akiyama, you should be careful when you are brave enough to help others."
Akiyama Kanade smiled helplessly, "Don't listen to what Conan said, I didn't do anything to help others. It's just that the guy almost bumped into me and didn't apologize, so I just wanted to teach him a lesson."
The young man in black smiled gently, as if he didn't want anyone to talk about this matter anymore. He looked at Mao Lilan and changed the subject.
"Miss Lan, long time no see."
After greeting him, Ran Maori got down to business. The super European emperor Maori Ran once again drew a five-star hotel invitation ticket, a total of five tickets, excluding the Maori family and Conan, there are two left. Maori Ran originally planned to invite Eri Kisaki, but was rejected by the other party, so she thought of asking Toru Amuro and Azusa Enomoto.
However, it was Azusa Enomoto's brother's birthday in two days, and she had already made an appointment with her family to celebrate together, so she couldn't go. So after a lot of twists and turns, the hotel experience ticket fell into Akiyama Kanade's hands.
He readily agreed.
After getting the evening menu from Bourbon, Akiyama Kanade, who had learned a lot, rode his bicycle back to Kudo's house.
There was an empty space in the yard of the Kudo residence, which Subaru Okiya felt was a bit bare. After consulting the owner, he ordered a few saplings online.
When Akiyama Kanade came back, he was about to take the saplings placed at the door into the yard.
He was wearing an apron around his waist and rubber gloves on his hands. When he saw Akiyama Kanade, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Good afternoon."
Akiyama Kanade was shocked. How could his weak and helpless researcher do this?
The young man got off his bicycle. His deep red eyes shone like two freshly cleaned rubies in the sunlight. He took the sapling from researcher Subaru and said, "I'm strong, so I'll do it."
Okiya Subaru didn't argue with him and let go of his hand.
Akiyama Kanade asked him again: "Did you make any progress in your research today? I remember Mr. Okiya's research topic was..."
"Research on a new type of assembled wall-type mass tuned damper." Subaru Okiya pushed his glasses and talked about research that he didn't understand at all.
This has become a regular conversation between the two.
Akiyama Kanade would ask Okiya Subaru about his research progress every day, and he would be very happy when Okiya Subaru would talk to him like reciting a book.
"If you want to read, Mr. Okiya, go ahead and leave the tree planting to me."
Okiya Subaru paused, said thank you, and went back into the house.
Akiyama Kanade planted the saplings, fertilized them and watered them. When he returned to his room, he took a special look - Mr. Okiya was still reading.
He made a note in his mental diary of a Tokyo University student.
It’s so good. He wants to learn from Mr. Okiya in the future.
The invitation ticket given by Mao Lilan was for five days later, and several people agreed that Mr. Mao Li would rent a car and go together. Akiyama Kanade told Okiya Subaru about this and said that he needed to take a leave.
Okiya Subaru smiled as if he was relieved, "Have fun."
It’s not like Subaru Okiya can’t cook at all—he’s actually pretty good at making curry—and Akiyama Kanade will leave him a few lunch boxes in the refrigerator, so it’s okay for him to be away for a few days.
"If there is any progress in the research during this period, please tell me when I come back."
While eating, Subaru Okiya stopped his chopsticks.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Ever since becoming the disciple of Toru Amuro, the table of Kudo's house no longer has the scene of udon noodles for three meals a day.
Akiyama Kanade is very confident in his cooking skills, he just needs a layer of disguise to show them off.
"No, I'm full." Even though there was still a lot of food on the plate, Okiya Subaru put down his chopsticks. After a moment of silence, he said, "...In fact, research is not something that can be accomplished overnight. There will be no progress in just a few days."
Akiyama Kanade nodded sympathetically, "I know, so Mr. Okiya, please don't feel pressured."
Okiya Subaru couldn't eat anymore.
Akiyama Kanade was eagerly preparing for a travel plan. He hadn't traveled for a while, and this time he was traveling with Bourbon, so maybe they could strengthen their relationship and kill two birds with one stone.
His good mood came to an abrupt end when the organization threw a mission at him.
Cherry Brandy actually has a high level of authority in the organization. He is not an officer, but basically only receives personal orders from the boss - in fact, he is the boss's personal bad dog.
However, not all missions are issued by the boss himself. Sometimes, he will convey instructions to him through Gin.
The reason why it was Gin was because the two of them have similar areas of work.
When he learned that Gin was the one who was going to announce the mission, Akiyama Kanade specifically told him to park the car across the street. For no other reason than to fear that the ferocious Gin would scare the neighbors and affect the harmony of the neighborhood.
However, Akiyama Kanade had never met the Kudo family's neighbor, and only heard that he was an old scientist.
I must visit someday.
He likes scientists the best.
Akiyama Kanade hung the vegetables she bought on the handlebars of her bicycle and rode slowly to the side of the Porsche. The silver-haired man was leaning against the car door smoking, and he was obviously getting a little impatient waiting.
Skipping the pleasantries - something that had never been done before - Gin directly told Akiyama Kanade the objective of this mission.
The target is named Matsumura Akira, codenamed Mole, and is a member of the Yamano Group.
After the organization cut off a layer of skin from the Yamano group last time, the Yamano group hid for a while before launching a revenge and bombing a base of the organization. The person who bombed the base was found to be the mole by the intelligence team.
"Bourbon will work with you this time. Let him investigate the mole's whereabouts."
Gin put out his cigarette and threw the butt into the ashtray he carried with him. He glanced at Cherry Brandy's bike with a hint of disdain.
Before he could make a sarcastic remark, Akiyama Kanade smiled gently, "Goodbye, see you next time~"
Gin swallowed back what he was about to say. He was always more tolerant of useful people.
Akiyama Kanade returned to Kudo's house carrying vegetables. The 1.80-meter-tall young man always liked to wear a black hoodie with a wide brim covering his eyebrows and eyes. This kind of dress could easily make him look gloomy, but he had a slow and gentle temperament, and it didn't look out of place even if he carried a basket of vegetables.
As usual, Akiyama Kanade and Okiya Subaru sat at the dining table and ate dinner together.
Compared to the relationship between an employer and a chef, Akiyama Kanade feels that the two of them are more like tenants living together. Okiya Subaru has a good temper and, like a traditional researcher, pays little attention to other things except his own research. But he occasionally cares about Akiyama Kanade.
For example, tonight.
"Mr. Zou," the two of them were now calling each other by name, "you came back a little later than usual today. Did something happen to you?"
"I went to see someone."
"Oh? Who is it? - Of course, if it's inconvenient, don't tell me."
"No, it's not inconvenient." It was time for Akiyama Kanade's favorite part of secretly arranging Gin. He thought for a moment and said in a gentle tone, "Actually, I went to see my girlfriend."
"Ahem—" Subaru Okiya choked on the water. He put the cup down and was silent for a while, "...Girlfriend?"
What's with all this disbelief? Doesn't he look like a handsome man who could have a lovely girlfriend?
Akiyama Kanade emphasized: "Really, silver hair, super beautiful."
Okiya Subaru's expression became more and more weird.
Akiyama Kanade realized that as a graduate student, Okiya Subaru devoted most of his time to studying and should not have time for love. He said this, and it seemed that he was deliberately showing off.
In order to patch himself up, Akiyama Kanade stood up and walked behind Okiya Subaru, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, you will have it too."
