Chapter 208 It’s Passionate

It was cold for a few days after New Year's Day.

This time, time was so normal that it seemed like it was back in the past. But whenever Nobushige saw Conan in the music classroom, he knew it was still early for the next year.

It was another morning with a slightly lower temperature. Nobushige and Azusa Enomoto finished cleaning the music classroom together, and then opened the window, letting the cool breeze outside mixed with the early morning rain and dew blow into the room that had been stuffy all night.

"Huh -" Azusa Enomoto breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "If Mr. Amuro is not here, the work will indeed be harder."

Nobushige looked at her.

Azusa Enomoto quickly explained with a smile: "Of course, I am not saying that you are not as good as Mr. Amuro or anything... ah, um... I am just praising Mr. Amuro for his ability... uh..."

She was so upset that she wanted to slap herself in the mouth.

But Nobushige didn't take these words to heart. Anyway, Amuro Toru's ability was only good for him.

So Nobushige said with relief: "It doesn't matter. I also think Amuro-kun is very capable. He is obviously a guitar teacher, but he is also responsible for the logistics of the music classroom."

"Yeah. But what did Mr. Amuro do today?" Azusa Enomoto asked doubtfully, "Mr. Amuro seems to have other things after work. He always takes one or two days off a week."

Nobushige could also guess that the guy must be either busy with the police or busy with organizational matters.

Having said that, Bourbon was originally in charge of a long-term intelligence line in the United States. This time he was transferred back to Japan because of the two tasks assigned to him by the gentleman.

He should be leaving after the mission is completed, right?

It's just that Nobushige seriously doubted whether Bourbon's second mission could be successfully completed. After all, the fact that Asano Nobuhige is Kudo Shinichi is not that easy to figure out if you really want to explore it.

"He probably has a part-time job." Nobushige said nonchalantly, "Hasn't Amuro-kun always dreamed of becoming a real detective? Maybe he is working hard towards it."

"Detective?" Azusa Enomoto was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Isn't Mr. Mori a super powerful detective? Wouldn't it be great if you recommended Mr. Amuro to work part-time with Mr. Mori?"

"Well, this kind of thing still depends on Amuro-kun's personal opinion."

Jingle Bell……

The wind chime hanging at the door made a crisp sound.

"Um, is this Lufeng's music classroom?" A familiar soft voice sounded like the spring breeze in April, instantly dispelling the cold air outside the door.

Xinfan turned around and showed a warm expression towards the visitor.

Miyano Akemi wore a beige dress and a khaki coat today, looking both elegant and intellectual. She met Nobuhiro's gaze with a faint smile on her lips.

"Yes, do you need anything?" Azusa Enomoto quickly stepped into the role of the store clerk and greeted enthusiastically, "Are you inquiring about music training classes or musical instruments?"

"Well... Well, actually I made an appointment with Mr. Asano." As she said that, she extended her hand to Nobuhiro, "Long time no see, Mr. Asano."

Nobushige shook his hand and said, "Long time no see, Miss Kawakami."

The young woman's palms were slightly cold, but the temperature was not so cold that people couldn't get close.

"Huh? He's someone Mr. Asano knows." Azusa Enomoto smiled and said, "Miss Kawakami, please come in and I'll pour you tea."

Nobushige led Miyano Akemi to the piano room at the back, and Azusa Enomoto came in soon with tea and snacks.

Miyano Akemi kept a gentle smile and watched Azusa Enomoto busy.

And it wasn't until Azusa Enomoto closed the door, leaving the private space to the two of them alone, that Miyano Akemi finally showed some anxiety and worry.

"Mr. Asano," she hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Although I know it's inappropriate to mention this rashly, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I'm really worried about her.

"You know how scary that organization is. Although Shiho is very smart and his importance to the organization is completely different from mine, but...my things will still affect her after all, right?"

Saying this, Miyano Akemi lowered her head in frustration, her eyes full of guilt: "Looking back now, I was so stupid to believe Gin's words. But even if I were asked to choose again, I would probably still I will follow the same path, but I feel very sorry for Shiho and Mr. Asano who took such a big risk for us."

Nobushige looked at the depressed Miyano Akemi and sighed helplessly: "You don't have to blame yourself at all. The things I'm responsible for have nothing to do with you or Miyano Shiho. As for your sister, I can only tell you that she is still alive and in the hospital. A very safe place.”

"That's it..." Miyano Akemi's expression relaxed slightly, but the worry in her eyes was still obvious, "As long as she can be safe, I won't be considered a disappointment to her parents."

"Please feel free to leave all these matters to us. Whether it is the conspiracy of the organization or this intricate behemoth, we will defeat it one day." Nobuhiro's eyes burst out with a determination that even he himself had not realized.

Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Mr. Asano is really passionate. Such words made my heart surge."

Hot-blooded...?

Nobuhiro never thought that one day he would receive such a comment.

This kind of vocabulary sounds very unreliable, like a high-spirited young man who has never encountered setbacks and rushes forward stupidly. It doesn't fit in with his usual image at all, and it doesn't fit in with Nobuhiro's requirements for himself.

In a profession like undercover, which requires both courage and wisdom, if you don't know how to use your brain, you will suffer a big loss.

But occasionally I hear comments like this and realize that my past self has not completely disappeared, which seems to be a good feeling.

Nobushige threw away the many thoughts that popped up in his mind because of Miyano Akemi's words. He stood up and hung a sign outside the door that said "Class is in progress, please do not disturb" and turned on the tape recorder next to the piano.

Immediately, the entire piano room rang out with the melodious melody of the famous piano piece "Dream Wedding".

"Then, please first wash off the last disguise." Nobushige took out a jar of special makeup remover and handed it to Miyano Akemi, "There is a sink in the bathroom inside."

Miyano Akemi quickly washed away all the disguises on her face. After wiping away the water, her already delicate face looked familiar again.

Nobushige placed a mirror on the table so that Miyano Akemi could check her skin condition: "The disguise material I use for you is more advanced, and its breathability is better than traditional rubber. But if it is covered on the face for a long time, it will have a negative impact on the skin." There’s definitely going to be some damage.”

"Hmm..." Miyano Akemi looked at the mirror for a long time, "I can't feel the difference."

Nobuhiro blinked at her: "Would you like to put on a facial mask?"

"Eh??"
