Chapter 10: Fateful First Meeting
In the newly opened dessert shop, four people were eating desserts and chatting.
Yuya responded to his companions' words while looking at his own system.
Over the past few years, Youya has accumulated quite a few reward points from his savings and spending.
In addition to mastering the reasoning ability, the rest are some necessary abilities, such as proficiency in traceology, proficiency in medical knowledge, proficiency in firearms skills, proficiency in combat skills, proficiency in driving skills, etc.
These abilities have different categories and corresponding prices, and Youya has tried his best to upgrade them to the proficient level.
As for proficiency, that is a relatively advanced level. Youya felt that it was not necessary, so he did not learn too high. Basically, proficiency is enough to deal with most situations.
Although all the abilities combined are enough to buy several master-level reasoning abilities, but...
It’s like you have lived for decades and have spent enough money to buy a house, no matter how expensive it is, but can this money be used to buy a house?
No.
The money doesn't come all at once, but is accumulated over time.
As for now... Youye glanced at the reward point statistics and found that there were more than 100 points left.
Youya didn't plan to move for the time being, he planned to keep it for emergency use.
My current abilities can basically handle most situations. For those that I can't handle, it won't be of much use to learn one or two skills.
Youya sometimes feels that this system seems to have no need to exist, because he found that in many cases solved in recent years, the system did not issue tasks.
I don’t know whether the reward points were embezzled or the system felt that the case level was too low and not worthy of reward points.
Anyway, as his abilities increased, Yuya felt that the system's presence was decreasing. (System: You heartless man! Have you forgotten who supported you all the way when you only had proficient-level reasoning ability and couldn't even participate in the case?)
"Yuya, Yuya, what are you thinking about?!" A white hand was waving in front of his eyes. Yuya came to his senses and found that Suzuki Sonoko was looking at him with dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong?" Youya asked with a smile.
"Hey, why do you still like to daydream?" Suzuki Sonoko sighed. Her childhood sweetheart was good in every way except that he liked to daydream. This was also the reason why Suzuki Sonoko had no interest in him.
Which girl can stand it when the guy sitting opposite her is always thinking about other things? Who knows if he is thinking about other women?
Although the situation is much better now, it is difficult to change the established ideas.
"It's okay, I was just thinking about the man just now." Youye said with a smile.
"Which one?" Suzuki Sonoko asked puzzledly.
"It's the one selling ice cream." Yuya said.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I already understand." Suzuki Sonoko stopped Yuya from saying the next word. Anyway, she had already guessed that it was not something good.
Suzuki Sonoko bit the spoon in her hand a little depressed and complained quietly: "When can I have a real love?"
Yuya, Shinichi, and Mao Lilan looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Youye thought to himself: It won’t be long, you will soon meet your soulmate.
···
The four of them finished their dessert and left the store.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran were discussing the taste of the dessert in the front, while Yuya and Shinichi were following behind.
"I still care a little." Shinichi said uncomfortably.
"I understand. Just take another look when you pass by, okay?" Youye said helplessly.
Xinyi nodded, and now that he had a goal, his steps became more powerful.
At this moment, the two people who were talking did not notice that they were about to pass a corner, and Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran in front of them took two steps outside to make way.
The girl opposite seemed to be lost in thought, not paying attention to where she was going.
Meanwhile, Yuya and Shinichi didn't notice either.
Coincidentally, Yuya and the girl were walking towards each other face to face.
Before Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran could warn him, Yuu bumped into the girl.
"Ah!" Two cries of pain.
One came from Yuya, and the other came from the girl opposite.
Youye covered his bruised chin, feeling so painful that tears were about to come out, and subconsciously said: "You can't walk long... long..."
The next second, he froze in place.
A pretty and delicate face came into view, with short brown hair and lake blue eyes that were now a little tearful due to the pain from the collision, and she was looking up at him pitifully.
The face that he had recalled over and over again in countless nights now appeared before him as if it had fallen from the sky. Yuya clearly felt his heart skip a few beats, and a slight feeling of suffocation surged in his heart.
Miyano Shiho? !!!
Yuya's mind was buzzing with excitement. How could she be here? Why was she here? Wasn't she stuck in the organization's research institute?
A thought flashed through her mind quickly: Could it be that today was the day she would go out to meet Miyano Akemi?
"How long are you going to hold me?" A slightly cold voice came into my ears.
Yuya came back to his senses and realized that he had been hugging the other person.
He quickly let go of her hand and apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, I didn't look at the road, did I hurt you?"
Miyano Shiho's expression has returned to its usual cold look. If Yuya hadn't had the ability to remember everything he saw, and if there were not some traces of tears left in the corners of the other person's eyes, he would have almost thought that the pitiful look just now was an illusion caused by the collision.
"It's okay. Be more careful when you walk next time." Miyano Shiho said coldly.
After that, he left without looking back.
"You're getting a retort." Shinichi came over and laughed at him rudely.
Miyano Shiho's words "be more careful when walking" were undoubtedly a curse that Yuu didn't say out loud, but he didn't expect the other party to say it first.
"Uh, yeah, it was my fault." Youye was still a little dazed.
"Hey, hey, you're not interested in that kind of thing, are you? A cold woman? But she looks about the same age as us, and she's really pretty." Shinichi touched his chin and looked at Miyano Shiho's receding back with great interest.
"When did you become so gossipy?" Youya hooked his arm around Shinichi's neck. "You're so daring, kid. Do you know how many eyes are secretly staring at this place? If you make any unnecessary moves, you will never see the sun the next day."
"Isn't this the first time I've seen you be so... out of control?" Shinichi thought for a moment and said an adjective that he thought was more appropriate.
"Why don't you try getting hit hard on the chin?" Youye waved his fist.
"That's not necessary." Shinichi pushed away Yuya's fist and rejected the other party's "good intentions".
"Yuya, are you okay?" Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan came back, and Mao Lilan asked with concern, "It's all my fault. I didn't remind you in time just now."
"It's just a small matter. It's normal for men to get bumped and bruised." Youye said with a smile.
Ran Mao Li carefully observed Yuya and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
"Okay, Xiaolan, don't worry about these two guys." Seeing that Yu was fine, Suzuki Sonoko pulled Mouri Ran and continued walking forward.
Yuya and Shinichi quickly followed.
Yuya seemed fine, but he was actually upset.
He moved his arms slightly and felt the person's body temperature still lingering in his arms.
Hey, why do I feel a little perverted? Yuya slapped himself in his heart, and immediately covered the place where he was hit, but it was Miyano Shiho...
Yuya's eyes gradually became deep, that was the person he decided to save...
Since Miyano Shiho has appeared, then Miyano Akemi must be nearby, right?
As an external member, I guess the organization won't be as strict in keeping watch on Miyano Shiho as they are on her, so appropriate contact should be fine.
Youya glanced at his companions and decided that he could handle this matter by himself and there was no need to involve them for the time being.
Anyway, Shinichi has his own destiny in the future (referring to the matter of becoming smaller), and Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran must not be allowed to know about the organization.
Originally, Yuya had scolded Conan more than once when watching the animation. Why didn't he tell the truth directly to Mouri Ran?
It was not until he came to this world that he discovered that things are sometimes not as simple as they seem...
Outsiders will never understand the pain of those inside...
