Chapter 21 - Cats (2)

Amamiya Yuki raised her head and saw Conan and the others heading in her direction. 

"Amamiya Neechan?" Conan couldn't help but call out in surprise.

"You're the little kid who's with Ran yesterday, right?" Amamiya Yuki looked like she was racking her brain to remember the brat in front of her.

"I'm Conan Edogawa, a detective," Conan replied with a confident smile on his face.

"Wow, pretty sister!"

"Hello sister, I am Conan's friend Ayumi Yoshida."

"I am Kojima Genta."

"I am Mitsuhiko."

"Haibara Ai." 

Even Haibara Ai only gave a glance at Amamiya Yuki and then looked away, unconcerned.

She didn't see that Amamiya Yuki had a faint smile on the corner of her lips that couldn't be seen easily. 

Animals such as dogs and cats are very sensitive to human malice.

She always tried to restrain her edges and the fact that she's part of the Winery. Since her experience felt more like watching a movie, the Winery scent on her was almost nonexistent and Haibara Ai didn't even notice it.

This way, many small animals found comfort in her, unable to sense the hidden murderous intent far beneath her peaceful exterior.

'This is good.'

For now.

When she wants Conan to suspect her, she'll have Haibara Ai notice her edges.

[AHH, so Amamiya Yuki was really a cat lover]

[Pfft! First she bumped into Ran when saving a cat and now she bumped into Conan when she's saving another cat]

[It's really hilarious]

[Ai didn't react, so it's not a black party?]

[Ahh, such a good girl should be red! Probably someone similar to Sonoko?]

[I don't care who she is, I want to see more of Ai]

"Are you looking for this cat?" Amamiya Yuki held the cat up gently.

"Yes! We're commissioned to find the cat!" Ayumi looked at Amamiya Yuki with her eyes sparkling. This big sister is really pretty!

"Then you should return the cat back." Amamiya Yuki chuckled. When she saw Haibara Ai who looked unconcerned, she put the cat in her embrace, startling Haibara Ai.

"Uh?" Haibara Ai looked confused.

"Don't be so aloof." Amamiya Yuki chuckled and rubbed Haibara Ai's head. "A girl should be more lively, right?"

Haibara Ai looked dazed as she saw Amamiya Yuki's gentle look. The woman in front of her looked extremely young and gentle.

This resulted in her failing to react in time, allowing her hair to be messed up by Amamiya Yuki.

"Ah, stop it!" Haibara Ai tries to escape and Amamiya Yuki gives a gentle yet helpless laugh as she fixes the girl's hair in a few strokes. Her movements were gentle and caring.

Ayumi looked at this from the side and seemed envious. She really likes this big sister.

Conan glanced at Haibara Ai and seeing the girl's tangled look, he clicked his tongue internally. At the same time, his suspicion on Amamiya Yuki was reduced.

After all, radar Ai didn't even react.

[Awww! Ai is really cute!]

[Her expression was really adorable!]

[So this Amamiya Yuki is a confirmed passerby?]

[Aww, but her deduction skills back then was really awesome]

[True, true~]

Amamiya Yuki was very happy at the rising popularity on the corner of her screen.

As for the fact that she's said to be passerby…

Well, leave it be.

When she shows her other side, they will definitely show something different.

She didn't spend much time with the children as she didn't want to overdo it. It's better to leave faint impressions with the main characters and the audience.

There wouldn't be any cameras following her all the time, so Amamiya Yuki was not very worried.

She resumed her activity of saving cats and getting acquainted with the neighbourhood in the area.

Through these old ladies, she also heard a lot of gossip.

Just like before, none of them asked her name or her profession. They just know this is a kind little girl.

*sigh*

She picked up a few naughty cats and returned them to their respective owners.

After doing this for about an hour, Amamiya Yuki headed to Poirot Cafe and walked in.

"Welcome! What would you like to order?" Azusa was serving another customer and she smiled at Amamiya Yuki who came inside.

"Can I see the menu first?" Amamiya Yuki asked with a smile.

"Of course!" 

She looked at the list of the menu. Even though the sandwich here was famous, Amamiya Yuki didn't have any hobby of eating sandwiches. She looked through the list and then settled on the strawberry cake.

"I'll have this one."

After ordering, Amamiya Yuki took out her phone and browsed her emails. All of her emails were filled with communication through codes. She had to answer them all one by one and Amamiya Yuki sighed.

How did she manage to get by with so much work in the past?

It's really amazing in a way.

'... Do I have to set up a character of a working emperor? Damn, I definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.'

Amamiya Yuki shivered at the thought of it.

But thinking about what she had been doing in her memory… It seems that it was either work or a mission.

Amamiya Yuki: "..." she really has no life on her own.
