Chapter 11: The Uniform at the Restaurant

On January 9, before 6:00 p.m., Mihua Town 5-chome.

Kudo Shinichi, whose wallet has shrunk again, is thinking about what to do this month, but he can't pray "God, let's do more things!" Thinking about the pleasant dinner with Mao Lilan just now, I was tangled and tangled.

"Xinyi, how do you know that Mei Daizi won't go to Dorobiga Paradise with us tomorrow?" Thinking back to today's experience, Lan picked up this question again.

"Telephone poles." Shinichi answered in confusion. "Telephone pole?" Lan was puzzled, "Hey, Shinichi, please explain clearly."

"This morning, you broke the electric pole." Shinichi said after recovering. "Yes, why don't I remember," Lan continued to be puzzled, "Really?" Shinichi nodded helplessly, who is this.

"Ah, then I have to pay compensation." Lan said seriously, "What does this have to do with Mei Daizi not going to Dorobiga Paradise with us tomorrow?"

Shinichi looked at her and said, "Of course it's related. Let me ask you that the roadside facilities in Mihua Town were damaged, who do you think did it?" "Of course it's...uh..." Lan Xian said with certainty , and then can no longer speak.

Shinichi said: "That's it. Didn't you get angry at Uncle Mao Li in the morning because I showed off so much that he didn't come to work? Uncle Mao Li would complain that he didn't come to work because he lacked money, and today is the first ten days. If there is no money It must not be because of the horse betting, it must be because of drinking, but with Uncle Maori's temperament, it must be drinking in the tavern of Mei Daizi's family who will give discounts or even give away some things for free during the festival, and Mei Dai's restaurant is always cheap. It’s cheap, Uncle Maori’s overspend must be due to some reason that he invited people to drink. Judging from Uncle Maori’s previous monthly payment and the price of Mei Dai Restaurant, he must not have invited only one person. It is estimated that they were all neighbors at the time, so Maori Uncle must have invited the whole audience, and Uncle Mao Li must be serving that kind of expensive alcohol for each person. You have always asked Mei Daizi to help you watch, but this time Mei Daizi did not keep an eye on Uncle Mao Li, so you are very angry , I just want Mei Daizi..."

"Enough! Don't talk anymore." Mao Lilan interrupted Kudo Shinichi and shouted, "Xinyi, the Kudo Shinichi I know is not such a person." Then he turned and ran, "I'm going to give Mei Dai My apologies, I'll take responsibility for the poles..."

Xinyi, who was immersed in reasoning, listened to Mao Lilan's words, saw that there seemed to be tears in the corner of Mao Lilan's eyes, and was anxious, chasing and shouting: "Lan, Lan, listen to me, Lan..."

Fortunately, our classmate Lan still remembered to obey the traffic rules at this time, Xinyi finally caught Lan at a street intersection, "Lan, listen to me..." "Don't grab me, I don't know you. "Maolilan turned her face away, trying to shake off Shinichi. Under people's attention, Mao Lilan also felt a little ugly, and was pulled aside by Xinyi's arm tightly.

Xinyi explained: "Lan, listen to me. I just want to go to Mei Daizi's house to clarify with Mei Daizi and apologize to her." "Really?" Lan wiped her face, "It's really like that, what Why did you drag me away this morning?"

Shinichi explained: "Let's think about it, you destroy a power pole, so you just wait there, and you see the staff come to record it, and tell people that you did it, and the staff will say, 'Little girl, this You don't go to class on time, what are you doing here, you are not Mei Daizi, this must have been done by Mei Daizi first, and you ran into it later, don't worry, I won't blame you, we all know that this is Mei Daizi Destroyed. Little girl, don’t worry, go to school quickly.’ and so on, and then leave. If you pull me and Mei Daizi to wait together, the staff will not come over at all, and they will say,

‘Mei Daizi, you’re here again, it’s alright, you go to school first, I’ll let people watch here so that it doesn’t fall down. ’ and the like. If we insist that it was you, Mao Lilan, who sabotaged, the staff will think that we are making trouble and obstructing his work. Unless you invite Aunt Miko and Uncle Mori, but even if you plan to have Aunt Miko, Uncle Mori, and us have a meeting under the electric pole, the staff may have already recorded it and went back. Telephone poles, as for such a big expense, is it so troublesome? So it's not clear what happened in the morning. "

Listening to the various possibilities analyzed by Xinyi, Mao Lilan said: "I can prove that I did it." "How to prove it?" Xinyi said helplessly: "Are you going to break another electric pole or something else? To specifically prove that the telegraph pole was destroyed by you, it was done by Mourilan, the female saboteur after Mihuacho's daughter Miyamoto Miyako."

"Hee..." Hearing what Xinyi said was interesting, Mao Lilan laughed again, "Who is a female saboteur, it's so ugly." Then he got entangled again, "It's wrong to blame a friend, destroying public facilities , is also wrong, but..."

You destroyed a lot of things, but you finally smiled, Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "I think your current mood is mainly because you should bear the responsibility yourself, and someone mistakenly put it on Mei Daizi , you think this is passing your fault on to Mei Daizi, so you feel guilty, and you owe Mei Daizi, right?"

"Well... it seems to be like this." Mao Lilan replied after thinking carefully, "Xinyi, how do you understand it so clearly?"

"I also have this kind of mentality. I just wanted to make a joke. Who knew it would become like this." Shinichi said helplessly. "A joke?" Mao Lilan asked back. Xin nodded and said, "It's a joke. I wanted to make you happy." "What's going on?" Mao Lilan didn't understand anymore.

Xinyi said: "When the incident happened, I knew the account. The inspectors in the morning would definitely recognize Mei Daizi, and it was too late to stop him from filing a report." "Why?" Mao Lilan asked. Xinyi explained: "Mei Daizi has too many criminal records in this regard, preconceived ideas, and this procedure is too familiar." "It is true." Mao Lilan understood, and continued to listen to the following.

"I originally thought this way. I explained the situation to Aunt Meizi first. During class, I let Mei Daizi know that she destroyed the electric pole in the morning. Mei Daizi would not believe it, because she had never done it, so I said there must be a wire Gan’s bills were delivered to her mailbox, she will be on her mind today, and when she comes home, we will follow her, and when she opens the mailbox, she must have a very bright face, so you can watch by the side, no Even if I avenge her for not keeping tabs on Uncle Mao Li? Then tell her the truth, and say that she has explained the situation to Aunt Miko, and Aunt Miko will not punish her for this. In this way, she will be a little angry at most. But don’t you think it’s a tie? After that, wait until the next day, bring your parents, and go to prove it together. In the end, where will you say to someone during the repair and replacement, “I’m sorry, I broke this, and Miyamoto Mei Daizi has nothing to do with it.' or something like that. The whole incident will come to a successful conclusion, who knows..." At this point, Shinichi stopped.

"Who knows that Aunt Meizi is not at home, but isn't Aunt Meizi coming back this afternoon?" Lan asked again.

"This, um, I forgot." Xin said in a low voice. "What?" Lan called, "Forgot?"

"I planned to call after school, who knew... er..." Xinyi blushed a little and couldn't speak. Lan also knew what happened in school, and shouted with a flushed face, "Don't think about it!" Shinichi continued: "I forgot all about it later, in order to solve the morning thing at noon, I solved the noon thing after school in the afternoon, and then Shopping and eating with you, I don’t have time to think about such things, so I didn’t think about it until you asked me just now.” Xinyi blushed more and more as he spoke. Lan also blushed, but she still asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"I was planning to go to Aunt Meizi's place with you before the opening of the tavern, and explain the matter clearly in front of Mei Daizi, so as to avoid the punishment Mei Daizi will receive, and then we will let Mei Daizi take the blame I apologize to Mei Daizi for wanting to tease Mei Daizi."

"This is the Kudo Shinichi I know." Mao Lilan was very happy, "Then let's go quickly." "Okay!" Kudo Shinichi looked bitter, "However, time is running out." "Ah, Then let's run," Lan looked at the clock on the street, "Xinyi, hurry up."

Now let's see how Aunt Miko wants to play, the initiative is handed over to others, Kudo Shin thought while running.

Mihua Town 5-chome, Mei Dai Restaurant. Miko Miyamoto, who was sitting at the counter, heard Lan's explanation, "So that's it, then Mei Daizi's bill today is all because of you." "Yes!" Lan looked at Miko Miyamoto who was expressionless and replied loudly. "Uh..." Kudo Shinichi was about to speak when Miyamoto Miko asked, "Why, what did Ran say wrong?" Kudo Shinichi shook his head. "Then don't talk." Miko Miyamoto's expression was stern, "You want to tease Mei Daiko a little, right." "Uh..." Kudo Shinichi didn't know what to say. Miyamoto Miko said for him: "It's for Ran, isn't it." "Uh..." Kudo Shinichi was speechless. Lan blushed and lowered her head.

"So, I decided to punish you, do you accept?" "Accept!" This was Lan's answer. "Uh..." Kudo Shinichi had a bad feeling, so he didn't dare to agree. Lan tugged at him, and Kudo Shin had to answer: "Accept, accept." His voice was very low. "Huh?" Miko Miyamoto said she didn't hear clearly. Lan whispered: "Shinichi." "Accept!" Kudo Shinichi replied loudly.

"Very good, since that's the case, Mo Lilan," Meizi shouted. "Yes!" Lan replied. "You will replace Mei Daizi and accept her punishment." Meizi said. "Yes!" Lan replied. "You don't have to worry about the rest." Miko continued. "But..." Lan wanted to take on more. Meizi smiled and said, "Let's just leave it like this. The fact that this matter has become so troublesome is actually because of Mei Daizi's past mistakes. I also understand your intentions. Compared with the bill, Mei Daizi cares about the punishment here. It's still you What I really want to tell this kid is to ask us to go to a meeting and make a public apology or something?" Listening to Aunt Miko's joke, thinking about that scene, Lan shuddered, then remembered again, and said, "The compensation..." Miyamoto Miko interrupted her, "Didn't I say, you replace Mei Daizi and accept her punishment, and I will pay the bill." Looking at the clock, Miyamoto Miko said: "Okay, Mei Daizi changes clothes You know the place, go change clothes and start work." "Oh!" Lan left.

Seeing Lan like this, Shinichi heaved a sigh of relief. Miko Miyamoto saw it and said, "I'm a little worried?" Seeing Shin nod, Miko Miyamoto smiled and said, "Then you can replace Ran, how about it?" Shinichi was very surprised, what does this mean, so he asked: " What?" Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "I mean to work here instead of Ran." Shinichi wanted to agree, but instinctively felt that there was something wrong.

At this time, Mao Lilan ran over with her face flushed and asked, "Aunt Miko, are those work uniforms?" Miko Miyamoto smiled and said, "That is a uniform that was just ordered from England." Mao Lilan who knew the answer left again . Then Miko Miyamoto said to Shinichi: "How about it, have you thought it through yet?" Shinichi felt that a catastrophe was imminent, he hesitated to make a decision, and only looked at Lan from the corner of his eye. When entering the place, Miko Miyamoto smiled and said, "Make a decision quickly." When Shinichi saw Miko Miyamoto's smile, he felt weak in his heart and sweated profusely on his head. A set of pink maid outfits came out with some shyness.

Miko Miyamoto saw that Shinichi was stunned, and said with a smile: "Maorilan is very beautiful." Shinichi nodded instinctively, and then came to his senses, "Could it be, do you want me to..." Miko Miyamoto looked at Shinichi's expression It was wonderful, and he said with a smile, "Want to try it?" "No, no..." Shinichi shook his head and waved his hands to refuse. "Really?" Miko Miyamoto looked regretful, "Then change the punishment."

Miko Miyamoto beckoned to Lan, "Lan, come here." "Not bad, it fits well." After Lan Mao came over, Miko Miyamoto said, and then said to Shinichi who was peeping: "I'm going to let Shinichi punish you. Supervisor Lan." "Supervisor?" Lan was a little curious. Shinichi has a bad feeling again. Miko Miyamoto said: "Supervisor, this kid wants to tease Mei Daizi. Although it doesn't cause any loss like Lan, this kind of idea is too bad. Since it is an idea, then punish him ideologically. I am going to let Lan, you supervise him and write a thorough review. Lan, what do you think?" Lan nodded after listening to the sentence, and Lan Daxie at the end thought it was very helpful to Xinyi, and replied loudly: "Yes! I I will definitely do it." Xinyi's heart sank a little when he heard this sentence, and he immediately predicted that Yilan's serious character would make his life very painful for a period of time in the future, but he had no room to refute.

Seeing that the matter was resolved according to her own plan, Miyamoto Miko said to Lan: "Okay, Lan, you go to work." Then she said to Shinichi: "Have a drink here, sit for a while, and wait for Mei Daizi to come back. You all apologize to each other, Mei Daizi also caused you trouble today, and after apologizing, we will still be good friends in the future, won't we?"

Lan was puzzled: "Why is Mei Daizi not here?" Miyamoto Miko said: "Didn't I tell you that Mei Daizi has something to do today and she will come back tonight." Xinyi completely collapsed on the counter after hearing this.

With a blushing face, Lan kept serving wine and dishes to the guests formed by her neighbors, including her father Kogoro Mori. Most of the guests knew Lan, so they didn't say anything, they just got to know that Mei Daizi had something to do, and Lan, on behalf of Mei Daizi's class, praised Lan for being as beautiful as her mother. Mori Kogoro found it very glaring, thinking he was here to monitor him, but in public, he was more restrained and just gesticulating, keeping Lan busy. Shinichi followed Lan on the counter and couldn't stop moving, not caring about the passage of time at all.

In the evening, at around 9:50, Mihua Town 5-chome, Mei Dai Restaurant, which closes at 10:00, all the guests left at this time, except Mori Kogoro, who was crawling on a table and taking a nap. Lan and Xinyi were watching TV at the counter and eating something, but Xinyi mostly watched Lan, and at this time, Lan was watching TV with a blushing face, but he didn't change the channel when there was an advertisement, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Mom, I'm back." Mei Daizi ran in with a big cone in each hand and yelled while eating, followed by Misaki Yamazaki. Lan and Xinyi both came over when they heard the voice.

Mei Daizi looked at Lan in pink and asked, "Lan, what are you doing?" Miko Miyamoto explained the reason to Mei Daizi, and asked Mei Daizi to apologize to Lan and Shinichi for what happened at noon, so, Mei Daizi asked Misaki Yamazaki to hold the cone. Then Mei Daizi, Lan and Xinyi bowed and apologized to each other, and then, Mei Daizi gave Lan a cone that she didn't have time to eat, and gave him a big smiling face, "Here you are." You're welcome, I'm really hungry after a few hours of work, "Thank you."

Miko Miyamoto said: "Lan has worked hard, I asked Ichiro to prepare some supper for you, and I will be here in a while." Then he pointed to Misaki Yamazaki and said: "Come on, let me introduce you. You may have an impression. This is My son, Misaki Yamazaki, Mei Daiko's elder brother."

Yamazaki Misaki said: "Yamazaki Misaki, Teidan High School 2nd Class B, please give me your advice."

Class B in 2nd year, isn't that our class, Lan thought, but she didn't have much impression, and then she thought about it carefully, "You are the one who is said to be related to the school manager, who never handed in homework and never participated in group activities." This is often Said by Lan on the list.

"Are you the one who never speaks and sits at the end?" This is what Xinyi who often sneaks away said.

Mei Daizi said: "There is a reason for this..." "Okay, okay, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing," Miko Miyamoto changed the topic, "Come on, let's go have supper." Seeing Mei Daizi and Lan leave, Shinichi was about to follow, Yamazaki Misaki said: "Thank you, Kudo Shinichi." Then he followed first. Xinyi was taken aback, thank me, what do you mean, have I helped you? At this time, my stomach growled, so let’s eat first, there are too few French dishes, and I happened to avenge Mei Daizi at noon, um, that’s it, let’s talk about other things later. ...
