Chapter 12: Noir

Tooru feels a little guilty because he forgot that his boss is a high school student "Shikamaru-kun since you have school tomorrow, I will prepare breakfast for you. What do you want to eat?"

"No need, I can..."

Before Shikamaru could finish his words, Tooru release a very terrifying aura. and it's the black one.

'How can a human has that?!' complained Shikamaru

"…you can prepare my bento, I will take it before going to school" How troublesome…

"OK, I'll give you a lot of meat" said Tooru who already knew that Shikamaru liked meat.

Tooru can only help Shikamaru to this extent. He didn't want to see the future successor of this country crumble just because he couldn't take care of himself.

Of course, Tooru wouldn't think like that if he knew that Shikamaru was a member of the black organization.

....

'YOUR CODENAME IS NOIR' -GIN

Seeing the text that Gin sent, didn't have any effect on Shikamaru. He had long expected to get a codename, especially when the last case he solved appeared on TV.

The Lazy Detective is the nickname given to him. Shikamaru who knew that of course was pleased.

On the other hand, Vodka who was in the car to take Gin to the following mission location suddenly felt cold.

'Why is Brother Gin suddenly in a bad mood?'

"Hey." Gin said coldly after seeing the message he sent but did not get a reply.

...

"Shikamaru-kun, I haven't seen you in a long time…"

While stroking his head Shikamaru turned his head towards the voice that called out to him. "Ah, ohayou Yamato-sensei"

"Hahaha, you look more relaxed now Shikamaru-kun"

"Ah, Hai..."

"Ok, I'd rather see you like this than you looking gloomy all day..."

"You are very famous now. So I prepared a special classroom for you to take the exam…"

Yamato-sensei is the principal of Teitan High School. He is a person who is very responsible for his work and if possible he will monitor the condition of the school himself.

'even though that special class is nothing new...'

Shikamaru who owns very bad luck, since grade 1 the special class has been prepared especially for him. Yamato-sensei was the one who gave this suggestion.

Of course, for the current Shikamaru, it was a very beneficial condition for him.

'it's troublesome if you need to chat with your classmate…'

Yup, because of his laziness to communicate so he was happy with Yamato-sensei's decision for this separate class. In fact, before being famous Yamato-sensei was the one who allowed him to not attend school.

And since he had now become a famous detective, Yamato-sensei even offered for him to come to school for exam day only and not have to go to class.

Of course, he would pretend not to know the real cause why the school wanted to keep him away as far as possible.

Before opening the classroom door, Ran and Sonoko were seen walking toward her "Shikamaru-kun, I have a request for you. How about you accompany us during the holidays?"

As if hearing bad news, Shikamaru acted as if he didn't hear what Sonoko was saying "Ohayo, Ran-chan and Sonoko-chan, what are you doing here?"

"I know you've been famous lately Shikamaru Boy! How about I give you a commission to protect both of us! I'll pay 100,000 yen!" Said Sonoko Suzuki as the youngest daughter of the Suzuki family.

Her motto is if there are difficulties solve them with money, if they can't then increase the amounts!

Knowing that he would get money from this strange request, 'The Poor Boy' Shikamaru Nara, finally bowed his head for money.

'it's better to receive the commissions from someone I know than a stranger, at least they know my habits'

"Accompany? Where is Shinichi-kun?" he said without changing his face.

"Huh! That idiot! Who cares about him" Sonoko said angrily, she had been planning for this vacation for a long time but Shinichi just disappeared! nowhere can be found at all!

if they know Conan's true identity, he will face a great force of furious girlfriend's best friend - Sonoko-chan.

"OK" was the short answer from Shikamaru, and thought to relax during this period and not accept any cases. Because he has secured the allowance for this month.

...

Tooru Amuro who knew this just smiled and handed down the documents that included various commissions from various individuals for Shikamaru.

"Though I'm glad to hear that you have friends and even made an appointment for a vacation together. But Shikamaru-kun, you still have to accept at least one of the commissions on these documents."

"because we need money for the agency operational and maintenance costs, food and snacks for you and the guests, up to my salary this month…"

With a smile on his face, Tooru looked at Shikamaru and said "at least the boss will give me my salary right?"

Seeing the pile of documents on his desk, Shikamaru immediately raised his hand to resign "How troublesome ... you can accept it for me"

Calm down… thought Tooru Amuro. Although one of the reasons he keeps working at this agency is because the job is quite easy and also makes it easier for him to get in touch with the police without being suspected by the organization.

After all, it just so happened that there was one of the target organizations in the file he gave. Previously, he had also racked his brains on how to get Shikamaru to finally select that request.

He did not expect the trust given to him to be so generous, or rather that he was still underestimating the level of laziness of the teenage boss in front of him.

"Then I choose this request, what do you think Shikamaru-kun?"

"Ok, and since you are the one who chose this commission, you will be the one who will prepare all the necessities for this journey," said Shikamaru while handing the 50,000 yen to Tooru.

'Ugh, I just got this money from Sonoko'

"? You still have this much money?" asked Tooru who previously thought that the boss had no money at all.

"…. Yes," he said, too lazy to explain where the money came from.

Well, then Tooru could prepare more proper equipment and food for this trip.

Shikamaru who was reading a book casually while accompanied by cake and matcha looked at Tooru who was busy preparing everything.

It's also good that I have employees. At least I can leave all the troublesome things to him. Shikamaru thought as he continued reading the novel in his hand.

Shikamaru then put the cake in his mouth and was surprised at the taste. "it's delicious" Although it's not very sweet, the cake itself is very soft and moist, the quality of the cream is very good, and the whipping cream is in place, and the fruits give a richer taste.

Seeing the satisfied expression on Shikamaru's face, Tooru smiled a little and thought about buying a similar cake next time.

"I bought it at Beika Shopping Street, there is a cafe that just opened…"

'If Chouji was here he would be very happy to be here' thought Shikamaru while hearing Tooru's explanation about the cake he ate.

After a while, he felt a vibration from his phone. Who?

'YOU HAVE A NEW MISSION' -GIN

'GOT IT, BUT CAN YOU STOP GIVE ANY MISSION?' -NOIR

'NO' -GIN

'YOU JUST WANT TO BE LAZY' -GIN

'How troublesome....looks like I can't fool Gin anymore'
