Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Chapter 198 After coming back, you must first report that you are safe

"It's back again."

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar office in front of him, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed.

It’s familiar because she did it all with her own hands, but it’s unfamiliar because she left again on the first day of opening and hasn’t come back until now.

Speaking of which, the reason why she wanted to set up an agency was because she was afraid of staying in the world of Conan doing nothing, and by the way, she wanted to investigate the mysterious events of this existence. As a result, a series of events happened immediately after opening, which made her a little bit dumbfounded.

Although she had been gone for a while, there was no dust in the office and everything was as clean as new, as if she had just left.

If nothing else, it should be because the professor is asking people to clean it regularly.

When she thought of the professor, she couldn't help but feel worried, because she had just solved the accident caused by BB in another world, and she was afraid that during this period, the professor would also secretly cause trouble behind her back.

So she thought for a while, took out her mobile phone, and called Moriarty first.

"Welcome back, Ritsuka."

After the call was put through, before she could speak, Moriarty's laughter came from the other end.

"I just didn't expect you to come back just now. Is there something wrong with Chaldea?"

"No, there should be no problem on Chaldea's side, it's just that I encountered another accident."

When she heard the other party's question, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even though she had been away for such a long time, in fact, she only stayed in Chaldea for less than a day, and it seemed that she did not get any effective information in the end.

Moriarty chuckled upon hearing this:

"Although there are some surprises, it doesn't seem to be anything unexpected. In short, it seems that this is not a situation that can be explained in one or two sentences on the phone."

"Hey, what does that sentence at the beginning mean? I can't pretend I didn't hear it."

Her face suddenly darkened and she said angrily.

Although Joan of Arc Alter also said similar words to her when she was in the world of magic, she herself was quite resistant and severely denied it.

After all, you can’t really blame yourself for your misfortune, right?

"Ha ha."

Moriarty chuckled again, and instead of answering her question directly, he smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter, I happen to have a lot of time to listen. Maybe it would be better to pair it with a sumptuous and delicious dinner to relieve the fatigue of the journey."

"But before that, please allow me to pick you up first."

She did not continue to delve deeper, but nodded and said:

"Well, I'm at the office now. I'm in trouble."

After telling her location, she smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, Professor, your speech just now seems more and more like a housekeeper."

Although she couldn't see the other party through the phone, she guessed that Moriarty must have looked like an extremely gentleman at this time, showing a spring-like smile and responded:

"As long as you are willing, I will be happy to be your butler."

I have to say that the professor is quite charming when he is not funny.

After hanging up the phone from Moriarty, she thought of Haihara Ai again.

Last time, she was suddenly transferred to the world of magic before she could say anything. This seemed to frighten the other party, making Haibara Ai think she was missing.

This time, with Moriarty staying to deal with it, the same situation as before should not happen again.

But she thought about it and made a call to the other party.

"Sister Ritsuka, are you back?!"

Just like Moriarty, the moment the call was connected, before she could speak, Haihara Ai's voice of surprise came from the phone.

"Well, I just came back and I'm at the office now."

Haiyuan Ai's reaction made her smile unconsciously, and then said:

"The professor is coming here to pick me up. He should go out for a big meal later. Xiao Ai, do you want to come with him?"

"Of course, wait for me!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the phone, and then a call to Dr. A Li. It seemed that he was so impatient that he even forgot to hang up the phone.

So she smiled and shook her head, hung up the phone, and started wandering around the office. The layout of the office is exactly the same as before she left, and the number of items in the display cases has not changed at all. It seems that the office has not been opened since she left.

Although the interior space of the office was relatively spacious, she had arranged everything by herself, so she was very familiar with it. After walking around the office, she began to feel a little bored.

At this time, she suddenly noticed that opposite her office, the lights in the Maori Detective Agency were still on, so they should still be in business.

".Well, let's go visit."

So she closed the door of the agency, walked downstairs, crossed the street, walked up to the second floor, came to the door of the Maori Detective Agency and rang the doorbell.

"Come on, please wait!"

Mao Lilan's youthful voice came, and the door opened with a click.

The moment he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:

"Ritsuka, you're back!"

"Well, I'm back."

She smiled and responded:

"Long time no see, Xiaolan."

"Long time no see, please come in."

Maori Lan happily led her into the house, turned to Maori Kogoro and smiled:

"Dad, it's Ritsuka who's back."

"I know, really, I'm not blind."

Mouri Kogoro, who originally thought it was a customer who came to the door and hurriedly acted serious, was immediately discouraged when he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka and waved his hand angrily and replied.

"But speaking of it, this is the first time I've seen a firm that closed down on the first day it opened."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan rolled her eyes at him angrily and defended her:

"Because I have other more important things to deal with, so what can I do? Ritsuka, please leave him alone."

"Ah, um."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head in embarrassment.

To be honest, this was her first time seeing him.

"Sister Ritsuka is back?"

At this time, Conan also walked out of the room. After seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, he greeted him obediently:

"Long time no see, Sister Ritsuka."

"Conan-kun, long time no see."

After saying hello, Conan looked at the other party curiously. Just as Mouri Kogoro said, the office closed on the first day of its opening, and he was also a little concerned about what the other party handled during this period.

But at this moment, he remembered Dr. Ali's warning to him last time, so he felt a chill in his heart and silently warned himself not to pry into unnecessary things.

On the other side, after pouring tea for Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mao Lilan sat down opposite her and asked curiously:

"Ritsuka, what have you been doing during this time?"

!

Although he had tried hard not to investigate Fujimaru Ritsuka as usual, Conan's ears immediately stood up uncontrollably after hearing the question raised by Mao Lilan.

Damn it, my damn curiosity!

Although Conan felt humiliated, he couldn't help but listen silently.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that something happened in Jiali. I originally thought it would take some time before I could go back to deal with it, but I didn't expect to be able to go back so soon."

"That's it"

Although he did not explain the specific matter, Mao Lilanruo still nodded thoughtfully, and then said with concern:

"Is that handled?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile suddenly froze, and she said helplessly:

"Not yet. In fact, it might be quite troublesome."

　Sorry, I'm late!
