Chapter 30: Ramen So Good, It's to Die For
Conan went to ramen store with Kogorou because Ran leaving both of them on training camp. They had to eat outside and chosen this ramen restaurant.
Conan entered the store but he didn't expect to meet someone familiar.
"Ah, isn't it Onii-chan!" Conan greeted him like a child. He could see his face was bad but change into normal.
'Why do you hate me so much?' Conan didn't remember too that he had to do something bad to him. He remembered from Haibara that this guy was a member of Yakuza.
Conan observed him for a while and noticed a beautiful girl beside him.
'Hmm, I understand," Conan known the reason.
"Oh, it you kid, did you come out with your dad?" Yuuki looked at Kogorou.
"I'm not his dad! This kid is being entrusted to me!" Kogorou looked pissed.
"Hahahaha," Conan laughed lackl.u.s.ter.
"Oh, there is a guest," A waitress appeared and looked very surprised at the appearance of 4 guests within their store.
"Hahaha, I won the bet this time, Sayo-chan!" Ogura was happy.
"Geez, you've already given me a low wage," Sayo shook her head in helpless.
Kogorou and Conan wanted to sit in the memorial seat but Oguro stopped them and told them the reason. Both of them ordered the same ramen as him and sat beside him.
Yuuki was eating his ramen together with Koizumi ignoring both Kogorou and Conan. He had to admit this ramen was good.
"It's good! Occhan, your ramen is great!" Yuuki gave him a thumb.
"Hahaha, thank you, Yuuki!" Ogura was happy.
"Ne, Onii-chan, where is your girlfriend?" Conan suddenly said something outrageous.
"Conan, did your eye blind or something? Isn't the pretty girl beside him is his girlfriend?" Kogorou looked at Conan as if an idiot.
Conan tried to calm himself not to punch Kogorou when he saw his expression.
"But that is a different girl from the last time, I saw you from last time," Conan's word made both Kogorou and Ogura startled.
They looked at Yuuki with an angry expression. They looked at Koizumi who had a beautiful face and this guy was two-timing on her.
"Hey, kid! It's not good to two-timing on your girlfriend!" Kogorou reprimanded.
"Yeah, even if I have a good impression of you, but it isn't good to cheat on your girlfriend," Ogura said.
"Ah, so he is cheating," Sayo also looked at him with disappointment expression.
Yuuki frowned at them and looked Conan with a hateful gaze.
Conan who noticed his gaze whistle trying to look away from him.
'Hmph, I'll definitely get my revenge,' Yuuki thought.
They wanted to reprimand him until Koizumi told them.
"He is not my boyfriend and we're just a friend," Koizumi's word everyone became silent.
They looked at Yuuki with a guilty expression.
"Sorry, we thought that she is your girlfriend," Kogorou said.
"Yeah, sorry, the ramen is on me," Ogura said.
"Hey! We're already broke enough, don't give someone free ramen!" Sayo complained.
"No, they are free!" Ogura was stubborn.
"You!!" Sayo was angry.
"Don't worry, I'll pay it," Yuuki didn't really care whether it was free or not.
They were kept arguing until someone entered the store.
"Hooo, your store is quite crowded," This man was giving him a sarcasm.
"GO AWAY! WE DON'T SERVE A RAMEN TO YOUR KIND HERE!!!" Ogura was angry to see this man.
Yuuki was frowning he didn't like when something like this happening. He knew the Death God would start his action.
The man ignored Ogura and sat in the memorial seat. He had also knocked down the glass which the tribute for the dead of Ogura's loyal customer.
"Oh, what a shop," The man shook his head.
They kept arguing to each other but Koizumi ignored them and eating her ramen.
'She is a very tough girl," Yuuki shook his head.
Yuuki had to admit the taste of this ramen was good. He looked at Kogorou who was bored waiting for his ramen. He knew he was the famous 'Sleeping Kogorou' from Detective Conan.
"Hey, old man, I know it's late but my name is Yuuki," Yuuki introduced himself.
"Oh, don't tell me, you don't know me?" Kogorou asked him.
"Well, I've seen a lot of newspaper, I think you're the famous 'Sleeping Kogorou'," Yuuki decided to humor him for a bit.
"HAHAHAHA, SO YOU KNOW ME? THAT'S RIGHT! I'M THE FAMOUS KOGOROU MOURI!!" His shout was so loud and it disrupted the argument between Ogura, Sayo and the man.
Yuuki had heard that the man tried to tell Ogura to sell his land. He had also said that Ogura's store was a black sheep among the shopping district. He had also told Ogura his best friend also complained about his store.
"Re-really?" Ogura said disbelief, but the door was opened again by someone.
"How dare you to spew that nonsense.." A man with short hair and mustache entered the store.
Then the man started to talk with Ogura about to renovation his store.
Koizumi, Yuuki, Kogorou, and Conan ignored their conversation. The ramen in this store was really good, it was good enough for them to even ignored them.
They kept eating until the man who came earlier said something hateful.
"Hmph, ramen that is good enough to die, eh?" The man said. "If someone really died because of this ramen, this business would be gone for real, if only there is poison or something here.."
"DON'T EVER MOCK THIS DELICIOUS RAMEN!!!" Koizumi for the first time raised her voice.
Kogorou who also wanted to reprimand the man stopped when he saw Koizumi reprimanding the man.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THE CHEF TO MAKE THIS RAMEN!! DON'T EVER INSULT THIS RAMEN!!" Koizumi really loved ramen and she hated someone who insulted it. Even though it was against her character to angry but it was really too much for her to hear someone insulting this delicious ramen.
"Calm down, let's eat the ramen first, it'll going cold," Yuuki tried to calm her. He patted her back so Koizumi could calm down. He gave her water and told her to sit. It was said that people would lose their anger if they were sitting and drinking.
Koizumi took a deep breath and looked grateful at Yuuki.
"I'm sorry for raising my voice," Koizumi bowed her head.
Everyone was still in a state of shock, they had never thought such a cute girl would get angry over ramen.
Ogura looked at Koizumi with tears on his eyes, "Hooo, it's my first someone really love my ramen that much! Thank you, Ojou-chan!!" He tried to wipe his tears.
"That girl is so tough, I'm impressed with this kid," Kogorou praised Yuuki.
"Yeah, this nee-chan is quite scary," Conan nodded.
Yuuki still tried to calm Koizumi.
"Are you okay?" Yuuki asked.
"I'm sorry to raise my voice," Koizumi felt shameful for her action.
"It's okay, everyone would do the same thing as you if they heard someone keep insulting this delicious ramen so much," Koizumi nodded in response. She was glad to bring Yuuki to eat together with her.
The man was startled when Koizumi got angry at him.
"Hmph," The man snorted and ate his ramen, but suddenly his face started to get blue and he was screaming.
"GUAAA!!" The men screamed and fell down from his seat.
Everyone was startled.
"HURRY UP AND CALL THE AMBULANCE!!!" Yuuki broke their stupor and hurriedly called the ambulance.
Yuuki knew the death god had started his action. He was hoping that the death god would solve this case fast because he needed to take care Koizumi who was by his side.
