Stir-fried Bok Choy, Spicy Tofu, a few glasses of Orange Juice, a Fruit Platter, and freshly cooked Clear Stewed Bamboo Rat...
Immediately, the five members of the Junior Detective League said, "Let's dig in!"
Chi Feichi ate slowly on the side. Since transmigrating, he had been eating either cold food or Western food, and he was already tired of it. Luckily, he knew how to cook. Perhaps he couldn't make the kind of Delicious Food that glowed, just slightly better home-style cooking, but it was enough.
Being from a country that knows good food is a blessing.
And for the Junior Detective League, eating Delicious Food they had never tasted before was pure bliss...
Half an hour later, the bowls on the table were spotless, the pot for cooking Rice was spotless, and the pot for stewing Bamboo Rat was spotless.
The five members of the Junior Detective League, with bulging bellies, slumped on the Sofa to digest their Food.
Chi Feichi cleared the table, looked at the rice cooker that didn't even have a grain of Rice left, and thought, "Not bad, this is easy to clean up."
Haibara Ai proactively got up, "I'll help."
"No need," Chi Feichi looked at the five people's bellies, which were almost as big as Hissashi's before, "If you've eaten too much, just sit down and relax."
Haibara Ai looked at her own belly, feeling a bit embarrassed, turned her gaze aside, "Ahem, thanks for the meal."
She clearly hadn't planned to eat when she came, even if it wasn't Rabbit but Bamboo Rat, it looked round and cute, but... so delicious!
Chi Feichi went to the Kitchen to wash the dishes, and the Junior Detective League also recovered from their Slacker state of being slumped on the Sofa after eating.
Genta patted his belly, "Bamboo Rat with Rice, it feels even more delicious than Eel Rice, I feel like I could eat a little more, but unfortunately, there's none left..."
Conan sweatdropped, "Genta, you've already eaten too much."
Ayumi nodded, "Only you and Elder Brother Chi ate the most, but he's already an adult."
Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "I think Tofu is also very delicious! It was a bit spicy at first, but the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes!"
Ayumi smiled, "And the stir-fried Bok Choy is also delicious, the Fruit Platter is very beautiful, like a painting, this Feast is really amazing!"
Genta completely abandoned his Eel Rice, "I think Bamboo Rat is still more delicious, I want my mom to make Bamboo Rat Soup in the future too!"
"You can't buy it here, right?" Conan said, "Bamboo Rat should live in the South of China, Elder Brother Chi had someone bring it back from China, and the price is definitely not cheap, right, Elder Brother Chi?"
"Yeah, I had my Father ask someone to order it from China, plus shipping and other fees, it's about 20,000 Japanese Yen per one." Chi Feichi said from the Kitchen.
"That's fifty bowls of Eel Rice," Haibara Ai said leisurely.
Genta immediately became dejected, "So expensive..."
Mitsuhiko stroked his chin, "And we have to ask someone to buy it back from China, I don't know anyone who would go to China."
"It's okay, I bought a lot, there are still more than two hundred left." Chi Feichi said.
"T-Two hundred?!" Genta's eyes lit up.
"Originally, I only planned to buy a few for Hissashi as Pet Food and to try it myself, but I didn't expect them to buy so many," Chi Feichi wiped his hands dry and came out of the Kitchen, "I can make it for you when I have Time in the future."
"Yay!" Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko cheered.
Conan chuckled dryly, Bamboo Rat at 20,000 Japanese Yen each was originally bought to feed Pets...
...
The next day.
Chi Feichi went to pick out two more Bamboo Rats, delivered them to Doctor Agasa's House, and picked up people on the way.
To thank him for the Bamboo Rat Feast, the Junior Detective League changed their team-building activity to a thank-you activity, and invited Chi Feichi to go with them.
"Today, these children are entrusted to Mr. Chi's care," Doctor Agasa greeted him, "Oh! What a big Rabbit!"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Suddenly, she felt balanced...
"Doctor, this is Bamboo Rat!" Mitsuhiko reminded him seriously.
Genta immediately perked up, "Are we eating Bamboo Rat today too?"
"These two aren't in very good Mental State, we'll eat these two today first," Chi Feichi put the Cage on the table, "I'll make Dry Pot Bamboo Rat for you when we come back after watching the Movie."
"Yay!"
Another cheer.
"E-Eating it...?" Doctor Agasa was a bit dumbfounded.
"This is a very nutritious Food, low in cholesterol, high in protein, promotes Hair growth, very suitable for Doctor," Haibara Ai said calmly, this thing was originally meant to be eaten.
"That's right, Elder Brother Chi said so yesterday, Doctor, you must remember to eat a little more later!"
"Let's go, we're going to the Movie first."
"Doctor, you just stay Home and take care of the Bamboo Rat!"
"Speaking of which, will Dry Pot Bamboo Rat be more delicious than yesterday's Stewed Bamboo Rat?"
"I really want to try it..."
Chi Feichi walked at the back, "I will take good care of them."
Bang.
The Gate was closed.
Doctor Agasa raised his hand and touched the top of his head exposed to the light, feeling like a knife had been stabbed hard into his heart, and the wound was still bleeding...
When they arrived at the Movie Theater to choose a movie, the three children unanimously demanded, "Gomera! Gomera! We must watch Gomera!"
Conan sweatdropped, "Today we're watching a movie to thank Elder Brother Chi, right? In that case, we should ask him first, and we are the Junior Detective League, if we're going to watch something, it should be something like 'The Legend of the Demon Ship Murder Case', right?"
"But that kind of Movie is very mentally taxing," Genta said.
Mitsuhiko nodded, "It's better to watch a more relaxing Movie when watching movies!"
Haibara Ai looked at the movie schedule, "I recommend 'Einstein's Glory and Years of Suffering'."
Conan was momentarily speechless, turned his head to look at Chi Feichi, "Let Elder Brother Chi decide!"
Chi Feichi, for sure, would...
"Gomera," Chi Feichi said without even thinking.
Conan: "..."
This was different from what he thought!
The three children rejoiced.
"I knew Elder Brother Chi also wanted to watch 'Gomera'!"
"Let's go buy Movie Ticket!"
In front of the ticket window, Conan couldn't help but tug at the corner of Chi Feichi's clothes, and then successfully froze.
Why couldn't he control his Hand?!
Chi Feichi turned his head to look at Conan, "Hissashi ate too much, he's digesting Food at Home today."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, actually Hissashi wasn't anything to be afraid of, he hadn't seen Hissashi bite anyone, it should be a Snake with a very gentle temper, after seeing it more, it's no different from other Pets, he whispered, "I say, you're really good to children... Actually, if you said you wanted to watch a Detective movie, they would also agree, and they might not dislike it, while we haven't bought tickets yet, there's still Time..."
"But I want to watch 'Gomera'," Chi Feichi stated calmly.
Conan: "..."
You're kidding, right? This guy chose 'Gomera' just to make the children happy, right?!
Entering the theater, the Movie began.
There were pitifully few people in the entire Movie Theater.
When Gomera appeared, the three children shouted excitedly.
"Go, Gomera!"
"Don't lose to the Spider Monster that eats people!"
"Don't lose, Gomera!"
"Its Head is its weak point!"
Chi Feichi still stared at the screen, his voice calm, "Be quiet when watching movies."
"Uh, yes." The three children subconsciously quieted down.
Behind them, the glasses guy who was just about to speak up to remind them silently withdrew his Hand, feeling like the Aura suddenly turned cold just now.
Conan looked at the three children sitting like well-behaved babies, chuckled dryly in his heart, completely Aura suppression, leaned over and whispered to Chi Feichi, "You're really watching seriously..."
Chi Feichi commented, "The special effects are very good, 8 points. Although the Plot is a bit cliché, the connection between the beginning and the end is smooth, and there are no particularly awkward parts. There's fighting and emotional scenes, 8 points. Overall, it's a pretty good Movie."
Haibara Ai, sitting between the two, said softly, "And it also has a profound meaning, aren't foolish humans indulging in the dead end of technology, not alert enough?"
Conan half-moon eyes, saying it so well...
Okay, thinking about it carefully, this Movie is considered a good movie, but he had watched it many times when he was a Kid!
After the Movie finished, a group of people left the screening hall.
Conan didn't want to discuss the Plot, changed the topic, "Let's go Home quickly and eat Bamboo Rat!"
"Bamboo Rat?" Genta's Eyes lit up, then became disappointed, "But there are still two more movies left to watch..."
Conan turned his Head to look at the schedule hanging on the wall, saw there were still two more screenings, four hours, and immediately felt a little despair.
"Three movies together are a total of six hours," Haibara Ai turned her Head to look at Chi Feichi, smiling, "A rare deluxe package, you can watch your fill at once."
Chi Feichi nodded, "Conscientious scheduling."
Hey, hey...
Conan felt lifeless, these two were deliberately saying it for him to hear, right!
Genta muttered, "My belly is a bit hungry..."
"Let's treat Elder Brother Chi to Popcorn!" Ayumi suggested with a smile.
"That's right, we said before that we would treat Elder Brother Chi to a Movie, but in the end, he still paid for the Movie Ticket," Mitsuhiko agreed, and didn't forget to say seriously to Conan, "Conan, don't always think about eating Bamboo Rat."
Conan: "..."
When they arrived at the place selling Popcorn, Chi Feichi didn't rush to pay, this was also a token of the children's appreciation, and whether it's much or little, each contributing is the key to maintaining interpersonal Relationships.
"Buy a large Popcorn for Elder Brother Chi, three Colas, three Coffees," Mitsuhiko calculated, "The rest, we can eat three buckets of Popcorn..."
"It's okay," Yuri Yuriko, who was responsible for selling Popcorn and Beverages, said with a smile, "Just consider it my treat, you guys often come here to watch movies, and you are also our last Guests."
"Last?" Mitsuhiko asked in confusion.
"Yes, we are closing after today," Muramatsu Akio, the Boss of the Movie Theater, said, leaning on his crutches, "This Movie Theater has been open for 30 years."
"I see, so that's why there are ropes everywhere inside, right?" Conan asked.
"I'm really sorry," Muramatsu Akio said apologetically, "Because the contractor's schedule is too tight."
Chi Feichi recalled this Case, what he remembered was the projector, the deceased was a hateful person, hanging, as for the murderer...
His memory was a bit confused with the Art Museum Case, after all, both Cases were about real estate developers being too arrogant and being killed in the end, but, if it's related to the projector, then whoever can tamper with the projector will be the murderer.
"Don't say that, we specially accommodated you to let you operate until now, if it wasn't for the Boss asking us to wait until the anniversary of this Movie Theater's opening, we would have demolished this place long ago," Harita Seiji, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked in and approached Chi Feichi, "But I really didn't expect it, I specially waited for the last day of this Movie Theater's operation to come and see, but there are only so few Guests, a bunch of Kids plus an adult who even makes Kids buy Popcorn, it's too miserable..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
What's this supposed to mean?
He's just thinking about something on the side and still gets dissed?
