Kudou-papa laughed.
Look, the internal pressure of the engine is rising up. Energy’s filling up to 90%, something like that What energy?
Mariko asks. Kudou-papa ignores her.
Engine’s pressure is rising. The energy level is at 100% Flywheel start! Nobu, what’s a flywheel? No, I don’t know either
what’s that?
Engine energy filled to 120% Kou, is it okay that we’re past 100%?
Hmm.
Kudou-papa
Flywheel is active! Wave motion ignition index in ten seconds, weigh anchor!
He releases the hand brake.
Ignition in 10 seconds. 9, 8, 7, 6. If Agnes-chan is here then she’d be happy to play but.
Haiji mutters.
3, 2, 1, 0! Flywheel union set off! What are you setting off? Yoshida-kuun
Ai shouts.
Let’s depart!
Kudou-papa changes gear and drives the car.
At the same time;
Chachachan Chachachachan ! Tokini Serieki !
Kudou-papa drives our car while cheerfully screaming.
Hey, don’t just drive so suddenly!
Mariko shouted.
Yoshida-kuun!
I wonder what will happen in this delicious bakery tour of ours.
Chapter 1057. Pastry Filled Adventure The First Bakery
Chapter 1057. Pastry Filled Adventure The First Bakery
Coming from the front door of the mansion, the minivan carrying us went down the slope to the gate.
We stopped at the gate and the big iron door opens remotely from the minivan.
Oh, Kudou-papa knows about the hidden switch on the minivan. Maybe Katsuko-nee told him.
When Mariko was coming into the mansion with her Rolls-Royce, Mana opened the gate since she’s watching the cameras. She’s already accustomed to the controls.
The gate in front of the car opens automatically, then.
Oh, not many cars are parked before the gate.
Only a single police car is on the lookout.
That’s because it’s established that Kyouko-san is in the Kansai area right now.
On the other hand, Kouzuki SS only has two cars parked as Misuzu and Ruriko are both in the Kouzuki house.
After the car passed through the gate.
We wait for the gate to close behind us to make sure that no strange person enters the mansion.
Meanwhile, Kudou-papa in the driver seat is showing a peace sign to the guys in the police car and Kouzuki SS cars.
I’m well known in both organizations
He mutters.
Err, where are we going? Oh, here
I bend forward from the rear seat and hand over the list of the delicious bakery tour Katsuko-nee gave me.
Hmm. Let’s decide the order
Kudou-papa looks at the list and inputs them on the car’s navigation system.
Huh, Kudou-san uses a car navigation system too?
To be honest, I’m surprised.
I don’t ever use them most of the time. I’m familiar with all the roads up to Kanto and the neighboring prefectures, even the back lanes. Driving while looking at the car navigation is against my nature Then why are you using it?
Mariko asks from the sides.
I want to check what kind of route they’ll show me. Since it’s an opportunity Do you use it to identify if your target is using the route given by the car navigation system?
Haiji asks from the passenger seat.
Well, that’s it. I won’t let the chance of learning pass by
Kudou-papa smiled.
Still, if you’re from Kouzuki SS, don’t you have all the route presentation data for each manufacturer’s car navigation system?
Haiji’s right.
If it’s Shou-neechan, each time the car navigation system upgrades, she should have it investigated already.
Big companies like Kouzuki SS does that but I’m just a one-man business
Kudou-papa steps on the accelerator.
The car speeds up suddenly.
hey!
Kana-senpai clings to me as the car shakes.
Hyaa!
Ai also grabs on her seat.
What are you? Are you not from the Kouzuki SS?
Mariko asks. Kudou-papa
I’m Kudou Yuusaku, a private detective Private detective? Yeah, that’s right What’s with that? Aren’t all detectives private? I never heard of a national and public detective at all
Mariko shouts.
Yeah, private detectives do hide from the public eye
Kudou-papa smiles, looking at the rear mirror.
He lowers the speed and then he set the car to a stable cruising.
Kudou-san isn’t an employee of Kouzuki SS, but he has a contract with Jii-chan himself
I said.
Huh, with Kouzuki-sama?
Mariko’s surprised.
Yeah. Well, his specialty is on the other side It’s not like I sold my soul to the old man. I have a separate contract with him on each case. I never accept jobs that go against my principle. Well, how do I say it, I’m Agent Smith on special jobs
Kudou-papa said.
What? I understand the Agent part, but what Smith?
Mariko asks sullenly.
What? High school students don’t know about Agent Smith anymore? Then does that mean that you don’t know about Doctor Smith either? What?
Kana-senpai asks Kudou-papa with a curious face.
Then, what about I’m sorry Smith! I promised not to cry anymore but! Inazuma! Kyuu! Huh?
Mariko’s dumbfounded.
Double Buster! It’s this! Welcome back! I don’t get what you’re talking about
Kana-senpai replied coldly.
Huh, what about you? I’m sorry
Haiji replied coldly as well.
What about you? uu, I don’t know I’m not interested
Ai and Yomi replied.
Oh man, there are so many schoolgirls here and yet nobody knows about Koi
Kudou-papa.
If it’s Edie or Nei, they might know what you’re talking about, but.
The people here have good senses.
Nobu, is he really Michi-san’s father? Yeah, he definitely is
I answered.
I finally understand the reason why Michi-san doesn’t talk too much Yeah, she’s got a father like this after all
Kana-senpai and Mariko had the same opinion for once
Dammit!
Kudou-papa is frustrated.
Yomi’s laughing.
She’s reading Kudou-papa and my thoughts.
Haiji ignores Kudou-papa and starts watching outside.
Haiji what?
I called her and Haiji turned around.
what is it? Don’t be mislead by the jokes. Kudou-san isn’t what Haiji imagined just now
I said. Mariko and Kana-senpai looked at me.
Kou, what do you mean? What’s with that old man? Oh, when it comes to you, the girls listen
Kudou-papa’s impressed by the state of my women.
Kudou-san also knows the same Kudou arts as Michi However, I can’t sense any hidden strength from his one, unlike Michi-oneesama
Haiji said.
No, his methods are different but the school is still the same
I explained.
Kudou arts is about bending their opponent’s Qi, an art of counterattacks. Michi erases her presence to ward off enemy Qi, but Kudou-san’s method is like using a shotgun of Qi, chipping off their Qi using pressure. That’s his methods
I gradually comprehend it.
That’s why, that thought of I can’t keep up with his excitement. I’m getting tired, means that he’s able to dampen your Qi. Don’t take him too lightly. If you’re a bodyguard, then you have to be wary with people you think are no big deal Oh, you’re right. Kouzuki-sama won’t send a useless man to Kou or me
Mariko noticed.
Huh? His method is to make you think that he’s a useless old man?
Kana-senpai is surprised.
That’s right. Even in the car navigation system, it’s not actually an opportunity to test it out, the truth is that he already has the data. All he’s doing is watching us react if he does that Oh, it’s to make us think that he’s not the kind of guy who gets his data from the Kouzuki SS
Mariko said. Kudou-papa smiled wryly.
Hey now, don’t expose my cards too much You too, Kudou-san, you shouldn’t lead people to think that you’re an incompetent guy. This is why Michi and Haruka-san are.
