 The Forgotten Mouri Kogoro


   According to the agreement, during dinner, Ran will go upstairs to cook for her father. After all, work belongs to work, she needs to take care of her worrying father. After getting busy, Ran naturally forgot her dad.


   "Ran..."


   A grieving voice immediately came from the door. looked towards the door subconsciously, there is a figure, his shoulders hanging down and zombie-like appearance, who else if not Mouri Kogoro? But what caught Lynn's most attention was the various bruises on his cheeks and panda eyes. That's horrible! Ran didn't show any mercy At the previous beating session!


"Dad! Sorry, sorry, I forgot you. I will cook for you now."


   Maori Kogoro's miserable and resentful appearance shocked Ran, but also made her apologize again and again. But just when Ran wanted to go upstairs to cook for Kogoro Maori, Lynn on the side stopped her.


   "Ran, don't rush away. I still have a lot of materials here, let's eat together."


   Ran is going to cook now, it must take a lot of time. It's better to treat her, which can save you a lot of trouble.


   "This...?"


   In the agreement between Ran and Lynn, there was no working meal. Now not only Ran herself but also her father's share is counted. This undoubtedly makes Ran hesitate.


   "What's wrong? It's just a mere dinner. Mouri Ojisan, you sit down first, and I'll go and prepare dinner."


   smiled slightly at Ran, and Lynn waved his hand. He put down the cleaning tools in his hand, Ask Mouri Kogoro to sit, turned, and walked into the kitchen. The title of Almighty Coffee Shopkeeper is not limited to coffee and snacks. Lynn can easily make all the food that is sold in the coffee shop.


   No, after walking into the kitchen, he found a few fresh original-cut steaks, processed them briefly, and set the pot on fire. About twenty minutes later, four plates of freshly baked steak, plus the same amount of pasta and vegetable salad, were put on the table one by one. Of course, Lynn did not forget to make a cup of coffee for everyone.


   "Sorry to keep you waiting, let's eat."



   The dishes cooked with titles are different from those made by ordinary people. Aside from the taste, the presentation alone is enough to attract attention, and it is not worse than the cuisine of those five-star hotels.


   "Thanks to you! Mr. Landlord! Itadakimasu!"


   Faced with the exquisite dishes, Ran and Sonoko's first response was to pick up the phone and take a few pictures in many angles.


   As for Mouri Kogoro, He thanked Lynn with tears in his eyes, picked up his knife and fork, and started fighting with the steak on the table.


   "Too...so delicious!"


   To be honest, Lynn has never seen a person who can eat so exaggeratedly. Today, he finally saw it. Mouri Kogoro paused for a while, then looked as if he had ascended to heaven. an expression that is only seen in a certain food war anime. It’s okay in anime, but if this happens in reality...


   "Dad too embarrassing...!"


   Look, Ran has covered her face. Her face was lost by her father again...!


   "It's delicious, Lynn, not only do you make a super good coffee but your cooking skill too. This steak... compares with the best chefs I ate! You can't enjoy this kind of deliciousness all the time. Even I have to make a long appointment in advance."


  Mouri Kogoro has nothing to do with Sonoko. At this time, she has focused all her attention on Lynn's steak. cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. Sonoko's face was slightly drunk then she showed a shocked expression.


   just like she said.


   As the daughter of Suzuki's family, she has never known how many top dishes she has eaten. But even so, she must admit that just this steak is enough to prove that Lynn can rival the top chef! such an impactful delicacy, you can't even enjoy it all the time with money!


   "Lynn... why are you so good?"


   Sonoko became silly again.

   "By the way, Ran, if you are as busy as today, I am afraid you don't have time to go upstairs to cook. I will be responsible for the dinners between you and Mouri Ojisan in the future. It is employee welfare, what do you think?"


  Through today's first business, Lynn has foreseen the hot scene in the future. In this case, it is better to count Mouri Kogoro as a copy, which not only saves time but also makes him closer to his future father-in-law.


   Simply a good way to kill two birds with one stone!


   "This won't work! Being able to work in Lynn’s shop is already taking care of me. If Lynn is responsible for the dinner between me and my father, it’s impossible to justify!"


She is very grateful for Lynn's thoughtfulness, but she can't accept this suggestion. After all, Sonoko just said that this is a delicacy that even she can't taste often, and the price must be high! She couldn't enjoy this gift comfortably, even if it was just a small thing for Lynn.


   "Ran...If you are like this, it makes me very troubled..."

Being too handsome is also a problem!


If you like someone, what do you like about him?

Sonoko never thought about it. But just today, at this moment! Sonoko was like a philosopher, thinking about A problem deeply!

What does she like about Lynn?

His handsome appearance? 

His super high academic ability?

Is it because of his fighting ability?

Or is She charmed with the cup of coffee he brewed?

Or…

Uncomfortable Sonoko?


"Manager! A vanilla latte!"

Seeing that Chikako-san was not continuing that topic, Ran, who was relieved, delivered the order to Lynn. But, when she finished her work she found her friend's face was wrong.

Lynn is not an ordinary boy. He knows the most genuine aspect of Ran. Therefore, facing Ran, who had just moved her muscles, Lynn acted as if nothing.

"Let's wait for the real first customer."

Lynn smiled and walked behind the bar. Store manager exclusive location. The coffee shop lobby is Ran and Sonoko's scope of activities.

When will the first customer show up?

Jingle!

Along with the flaky doorbell ringing, the shop door opened. An aunt with a slightly bloated figure, about forty years old, walked in.

"Welcome to the Poirot coffee shop...? Chikako-san?"

"Ran? Are you work in this shop...?"

Finally, a guest! 

Ran Repeated what to do more than a thousand times in her mind. But she is still nervous, even now. Fortunately, the first guest was a Lady who lived nearby.

"Yes, Chikako-san, I am working here now." Ran was stunned. But, after that, Ran reacted. "Please follow me."

Although she is an acquaintance, she is also a guest. Ran, who knows her responsibility, quickly led Chikako-san, proficiently taking out the menu.

"Chikako-san, what would you like to drink?"

Because it is her first experience, even in the face of acquaintances, Ran still feels uneasy in her heart. But at this moment, Lynn, who was originally standing behind the bar, walked out and brought ice water and towels.

"Ran, you don't have to rush. You must make preparations."

Lynn certainly knows what mistakes Ran has made. As the manager, He guided Ran to complete the work perfectly.

"Sorry, Manager! It was my carelessness!"

Ran learned about the ice water and towels before taking guests' orders. As a result, she completely forgot, which made her busy with bowing and apologizing and at the same time, her shy face blushed.

"It's okay, Ran. You don't have much experience yet. Just pay attention next time. And I don’t think this guest can blame you for your carelessness, right?"

Lynn was not here to stab Ran. In this case, he naturally wanted to calm Ran's emotions. But sitting on the seat, after seeing Lynn's face clearly, the lady couldn't help letting out an impressed exclamation.

"What a handsome boy! Are you the new manager?"

Lynn’s appearance can make women, men, and children fall in love. Especially for an elderly aunt. It is extremely destructive. But Lynn didn't plan to be an aunt killer. He showed a kind of calmness and composure.

"Yes, my guest, I am the new manager of this coffee shop, Lynn. I would like to ask you for your advice in the future. Ran continued and kept a relaxed attitude. You can do it."

Lynn answered very decently, Looking at Chikako-san with a professional smile. But before the other party asked more questions, he stepped back to the bar.

"Then Chikako-san, this is the menu."

With Lynn's relief and comfort, Ran's emotions have stabilized. Ran turned back to face Chikako-san.

"Ran, Ran, Tell Auntie. Where did such a handsome store manager come from? How do I think he is more handsome than those idols on TV?"

Polo Coffee Shop can be considered a famous coffee shop in 5 chome. It is popular among the surrounding residents. The original store manager chose to close the store and go abroad, which made many people regret it. Chikako-san, who lives near here, was once a loyal customer of Polo Coffee Shop. When passing by, she suddenly found that the shop was renovated and opened. Then she came in with curiosity to take a look, but she did not expect anything.

Walking into the store, seeing the Maori detective's daughter Ran surprised Chikako-san. But the handsome store manager who appeared immediately made her move.

She didn’t fall in love, but the old aunt liked to see handsome young men or the idol’s group. She didn’t have nasty ideas. 

But Ran couldn't understand her mood. She admits that Lynn is very handsome. But Chikako-san’s son has graduated from university already! What does she want to do when she asks about Lynn?

"The manager... is the landlord of our house. He planned to reopen the shop because he saw that the Polo coffee shop was closed."

Although there are 10,000 puzzles in her heart, Ran introduced Lynn's origins.

"Oh? Is he the new landlord? I didn't expect it. But Ran, such a handsome landlord and shop manager, are you not seduced? I think he should be young, right? He is a good match for you."


Ran's answer surprised Chikako-san, but immediately, her interesting remarks surprised Ran. She was wondering the reason Chikako-san asked about Lynn. But, Why did the conversation topics suddenly become her?

Are me and Lynn a good match?

“Chikako-san, The manager and I are just Friends..."

Chikako-san’s words made Ran's mood chaotic. She never thought about dating Lynn. First, the two have known each other for a short time, and she has a childhood sweetheart that makes her feel uneasy. The most important thing is she knows that Sonoko likes Lynn, so this is even more impossible!

"Huh? Are you still a classmate?"

I Signed-In In Tokyo 027: Ran beats his dad because of a cup of coffee…



"Dad? You..."

Originally, Looking at the garland in the cup that looked like a work of art, Ran was still a little lost. But after hearing Kogoro Mouri’s voice and seeing his drunken expression, her expression suddenly changed.

"Irish coffee is not pure coffee. It should be classified as a cocktail. But even so, Mouri-Ojisan's way of drinking is too heroic..."

Lynn explains what Irish coffee is…

It was Lynn's first time making coffee. He completed every step in his memory carefully. Unfortunately, he ran to Mouri Kogoro. Even if Irish coffee needs to be drunk while it's still hot, you don't have to drink it right away, do you? It’s better to give Mouri Kogoro a glass of whiskey directly!

"Cocktails? Dad, Didn't I say that Cocktails are prohibited?"

 Moori Kogoro who is worried about his daughter



Ran's scream shocked Lynn and Sonoko. Wait, following Ran’s gaze towards the door.

Big and so ugly!

But take a closer look.

"Mōuri-san?"

Lynn uttered the humanoid object’s name that clung to the coffee shop door. That's right! The real culprit who scared Ran was her father, Mōuri Kogoro!

"Dad?"

The scene just now was so horrifying. Ran didn't dare to see what the object was. But, After taking a closer look, Isn't this the father who Aways makes her worry?

"Dad, what are you doing? Come down from the window now!"

Ran is born with no immunity to various horror and ghost legends. When facing horror legends, Ran will show a weak side of a girl. After confirming that it was Mōuri Kogoro, Ran will immediately return to normal. She rushed out and dragged her father in dissatisfaction.

Lynn feels helpless. What kind of trouble is this?
