Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Chapter 122 Guesting and Publicity, Conan’s Discovery

Dr. Ali's home is a single-family villa with a courtyard, occupying a very wide area.

Following Dr. Agasa, Ritsuka Fujimaru observed the other person's home, wondering if it was time for him to move to a bigger house.

She originally bought this house just for a temporary residence, but she didn't expect that the rooms in the house are now full.

And she had a vague hunch that there might be more people in the future.

If this were the case, the current house would be completely inadequate.

With these questions in mind, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others followed Dr. Agasa to the unusually spacious living room.

Because it is so spacious, it doesn't even look like a living room, but more like an exhibition hall at a commercial venue.

At this time, Conan and Haihara Ai were in a kitchen that looked like a cylindrical bar. The bar was already filled with food.

Seeing the arrival of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, Haibara Ai greeted:

"Sister Ritsuka, Mr. James, Hatao."

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile:
"Xiao Ai, Conan-kun is also here."

Conan scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll come to the doctor's house to play."

"Xiao Ai, Conan!"

Seeing his two little friends, Bo Dao also waved happily.

After saying hello, Haihara Ai said to Dr. A Li:

"Doctor, the food is all ready and ready to eat."

"I know, it's really helpful."

Dr. Agasa smiled and praised her, then smiled sheepishly at Fujimaru Ritsuka and others:

"Originally I planned to cook for you, but my cooking skills are not good, so I had to trouble Xiao Ai in the end."

"Did Xiao Ai cook it?"

Her eyes lit up when she heard this and she said with a smile:

"That's really exciting."

Bo Dao smelled the aroma of food in the air and asked eagerly:
"Can you eat now? I'm already a little hungry."

Dr. A Li smiled when he heard this and said:

"Haha, of course! Then let's just start eating!"

"Let's help serve the food too."

"That would be troublesome."

The food was put on the table, and everyone sat down and prepared to eat.

As the master, Dr. Ali smiled and said:
"First of all, thank you for your contribution, Xiao Ai. Today's meal is to welcome you, Ritsuka, to my home. I hope you have a good time."

"I won't say much else, then..."

"I'm starting!"×n
Haibara Ai did not start eating immediately, but looked nervously at Fujimaru Ritsuka as he took the first bite, like a student waiting for the teacher's grades.

"Well, it's delicious!"

After eating the food, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up and he immediately started praising him.

Seeing that the expression on her face didn't seem to be fake, Hui Yuan Ai breathed a sigh of relief and showed a reassuring smile.

"Speaking of which, Ritsuka is so young, he should still be in school age, right?"

"Where are you studying now?"

Dr. A Li asked curiously.

coming!

Conan perked up after hearing this and calmly followed the conversation between the two.

"I'm not in school right now."

Facing Dr. Agasa’s question, Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head and explained with some embarrassment:
"Because Gary's situation is a bit special, I may need to go out to deal with some things at any time, so I basically don't have time to go to school."

Going to school is already far away for her.

In addition, when it comes to going to school, it means having a stable and peaceful environment, but these are also rare things for her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think back to Teacher Gojo and everyone in the high school in the world of magic, as well as that period of life in the high school.

Speaking of which, thanks to Teacher Gojo's arrangement, she was able to experience a rare campus life.

Although it was different from the normal campus life she imagined.

On the other hand, Dr. Ali could tell from her tone that she was not unwilling to go to school, but had to choose to compromise due to those so-called special circumstances.So he showed a look of disapproval and said angrily for her:

"How can this be? No matter how important things are at home, we can't delay our children's study, right?"

"It's so irresponsible!"

Hearing him say such words in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Conan suddenly felt ashamed and quickly reminded him in a low voice:

"Hey, doctor! Doctor!"

"Um, uh?"

After being woken up by Conan, Dr. Ari finally realized what he was doing. He immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"I'm sorry, I seem to be a little rude."

"It doesn't matter, the doctor is just trying to defend me, right?"

She waved her hand, then smiled and explained:
"The choice I make now is my own decision and it is no one's business, so thank you, doctor, for your concern."

"So that's it, so I won't say anything more."

Dr. A Li nodded suddenly.

Conan on the side couldn't help but think about it, what was the special situation Fujimaru Ritsuka mentioned?
It can't be a feud between mafia families, right?

No kidding.

He remembered that Haibara Ai and their trip had to be canceled because something happened with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

This situation is probably what she calls a special situation, right?
When Bo Dao first transferred to the class, Haihara Ai once said inadvertently that Bo Dao was the accident.

That said, Bo Dao likely played an important role in that particular situation.

But what exactly?
Speaking of which, this little girl Bo Dao was also incredibly smart. He had asked her for information intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't get anything useful at all.

Of course, there was also the reason why Hui Yuan Ai was causing trouble.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help complaining again:
Damn Huiyuan, he knew such important information but didn't reveal it to him, and even turned against him!

But the more this happens, the less he will give up and vows to find out the details of Fujimaru Ritsuka!

At this moment, his detective soul was burning brightly.

"correct!"

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have thought of something. After groping in the bag for a while, he took out three colored stones and handed one to Dr. Agasa, Haibara Ai and him respectively.

She laughed:
"These are some small gifts I brought, I hope you can accept them!"

Conan took the stone and looked at it carefully.

This is a beautiful colored natural stone that has been processed and is not considered precious.

There is a strange symbol engraved on the stone. Judging from his modest knowledge of mysticism, it looks a bit like the rune script in Northern Europe. This kind of script is very popular in modern divination.

He pretended to be a child and asked doubtfully:

"Sister Ritsuka, what is this? What are the symbols on it?"

She laughed:
"This is a rune stone. The symbol on it means [protection]. It can also be regarded as a defensive amulet. It may be one of the products I plan to sell in the future."

"Rune stone? Product?"

Facing the puzzled looks of the three people, she smiled and explained:
"That's right, for some reasons, I'm going to open a firm that specializes in mysterious events, called [Chaldea Mystery Firm]."

"This rune stone is one of the products I plan to sell."

She has learned runes from Master Jian, Skati and other followers, and has also mastered a few simple and practical words.

She could make such a simple rune stone herself, so she chose it as a product for sale to the outside world.

After all, it is a mysterious office, so of course it has to sell something related to the occult.

"Thank you, Sister Ritsuka."

Haihara Ai carefully put away the rune stones, while Conan showed a helpless expression.

Rune stones and mysterious offices really seem like things that girls would like. Is this a large-scale play house for rich people?

However, Chaldea
This somewhat unfamiliar word caught his attention. Generally speaking, store names are not randomly chosen, and there must be some meaning in them.

The term Chaldea.What does it mean for Fujimaru Ritsuka?

He kept it in mind and prepared to find out what Chaldea meant when he came down.

The detective's intuition told him that this might be quite important information.
