Mouri
"Huh? Isn't this Mr. Landlord?"
Ran's hand-made dinners are something to look forward to. but with the reappearance of Mouri Kogoro, especially when the other party sees the doubts flashing in Linn's eyes, it is undoubtedly embarrassing.
"Hello, Mr. Mouri."
"Just now I happened to meet a Ran-san downstairs. I got an invitation for diner."
"Mr. Mori, you are just finished work?"
Embarrassment is an embarrassment, but Lynn knows that he can't be cold at this moment. Immediately smiled and greeted the confused detective, briefly explained the reason, and quickly changed the topic.
"It turned out to be like this... Welcome, Mr. Landlord, please be welcome."
If the people standing in front of Kogoro Mori at this time are just ordinary friends of his daughter, a stinky kid who came for a meal twice a day, he would be furious. Even if he doesn't drive people away, he will inevitably have some cynicism. After all, his daughter is not something that everyone can pursue. The unkind brat must be as far away from his daughter as possible!
But Lynn is not someone else, He is the landlord who controls the 'life and death'. The landlord comes to eat, what else can Kogoro Mouri say? Not only was there no way to show off his face, but he also had to give warm hospitality with kind words.
"Dad, are you back?"
When Mori Kogoro was about to greet Lynn stiffly, but before he could, Ran, who heard the sound walked out of the kitchen.
First welcomed her father's home, but soon, Ran's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and she began to look suspiciously at Kogoro Mouri.
"Dad...you Didn't go drinking again, right?"
Although Mouri Kogoro tried to cover it up, the light scent of alcohol exuding from his body still made Ran aware of it. Lynn had already warned him at noon, but he has expect this result.
"No, no! I swear I never intentionally drink, it was just necessary for socializing!"
"Ran, let me tell you! Today, Dad, I have completed a big case! I received a good reward!"
Locked tightly by his daughter's gaze, Moori Kogoro suddenly panicked and explained in a hurry, and then quickly took out an envelope from his suit pocket.
The envelope opened, and inside was a full hundred thousand cherry dollars. Although it is not a lot, it is also nearly half a month's salary for an ordinary office worker.
"There are so many?"
As the detective's daughter, Ran knew very well that her father's usual remuneration for a case was only twenty to thirty thousand cherry dollars, and she made so much today that she immediately exclaimed.
"Dad, it's really hard for you."
"But leave the money to me for safekeeping. If it is in my father's hands, I don't know when it will be spent casually."
Finally got emergency money, Ran was naturally very happy. But when the money came to her, Ran didn't plan to return it to her father. Because she knows the virtues of her father, she should save them.
"What...Ran, I made money today. Can I celebrate?"
"At least... let me drink a few sips of beer, right?"
Seeing that his daughter took all the money away, Kogoro Mouri almost regretted his intestines. This money, he intends to keep some as private money! Not reconciled because of all the money flying away, Mouri Kogoro can only take advantage of his daughter's good mood to find some benefits for himself. For example... his prohibition, can it be slightly more tolerant?
Anyway, he is a great hero of the family today!
"Um... if that's the case, then dad drinks a little. But! It can only be a little bit! Don't get drunk!"
Looking at Moori Kogoro's pitiful expression, Ran was also soft-hearted. After all, she is not a strong woman like her mother. But what she didn't expect was that it was her soft-heartedness that let Kogoro Mouri let her go.
A little bit?
Then a little bit!
"Does the landlord plan to run the Polo coffee shop? Not bad! I will definitely go to the landlord to join in!"
"What? Is Ran going to work?"
"Not bad, not bad! Ran has grown up too, so I can share the worries for my father!"
"Woo woo...Mr. Landlord, I only have a daughter like Ran. Now I entrust her to you, you must take good care of her!"
This guy, once he gets drunk, he doesn't have the door. This is what Lynn has experienced deeply from Kogoro Mouri. During the meal, he drank to the top of his head, and when he knew that Lynn was going to run the Polo coffee shop, he praised it again and again. After learning that his daughter was going to work in a coffee shop, he burst into tears again. In the end, he was completely drunk and pulled Lynn's arm as if his daughter was about to get married. Regarding this, Lynn could only watch Moori Kogoro's performance and didn't know what kind of expression he should make at this moment.
"Sorry, Lin-san, I caused you trouble again today."
Her father made a fool of himself in front of outsiders again, which made Ran's marked face always blush. Especially after Mouri Kogoro was drunk and unconscious on the table, it was Lynn who helped her carry him into the room which made her dare not look at him directly
Today...It's so embarrassing!
"It's okay, it's just a small matter."
"Actually, I also want to thank Ran-san. After all, it is a rare experience for me to experience the warmth of the family after a long absence."
waved his hand at Ran, and Lynn didn't think it was a shame.
On the contrary, this kind of experience as if he was personally involved in the anime plot made him very happy.
"Huh? Lin, you..."
Of course, Lynn can't tell the truth to Ran, so he can only express his feelings in another way.
Just this way, Ran obviously misunderstood the meaning of his words, and she suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"In short, thank you Ran-san for your hospitality today."
"It's too early, I'll leave first."
"Oh, by the way, the coffee shop will be open tomorrow. I look forward to working with Ran-san."
Lynn knew that the more something said, the more wrong it would be. Therefore, facing Ran's surprise, he just shook his head, as if everything was silent.
As for the next step, as he said, it's not early, it's time to say goodbye and go downstairs.
"I can't say goodbye... and... I am also looking forward to working with Lin."
Ran is a smart girl. She knows exactly what she should and shouldn't do.
So at this moment, she did not explore the deep meaning of Lynn's words but responded to Lynn's words with a smile.
Then after saying goodbye to Ran and returning to the living room of the coffee shop...
Looking forward to it?
Yes!
Tomorrow... is always so expectant, isn't it?
