Well you see, there’s this outrageous news out there
what?
It’s scary news. I thought that I died from shock, it’s that scary
O-Okay.
They say that the size of women’s breast becomes definite at age 15.
what?
Don’t ever tell Michi that!
i won’t
I’ll never forgive anyone who speaks anything that breaks Michi’s hopes for 15 years
I feel the same way
That girl over there, be sure to have mercy and keep it quiet from Michi, okay?
Kana-senpai looked at Kudou-papa and me dumbfoundedly.
That’s all from me. Now, let’s get in the car! Dash!
Kudou-papa boards the driver’s seat.
Err, well, he’s that kind of person
I said.
He didn’t even say a word until we arrived in the mansion though
Mariko says with a dumbfounded look.
Err, as for the seating
While I was thinking of the seating arrangement;
Haiji-chan’s our bodyguard so she goes to the passenger seat. Ai-oneesama and I will take the second row. As for the back row, Kana-oneesama and Mariko-oneesama sandwiches Sensei in the middle
Yomi said.
I see. Yomi knows the methods of bodyguards.
She read Shou-neechan and Rei-chan’s memories.
But, I’ve never done of the technical rearguard stuff yet
Yomi replies as she read my thoughts.
I’ll be sure to support you
Haiji, who’s an academy graduate, told her.
Well, Haiji doesn’t have to push too hard. Michi’s father may look like that but he’s a capable man
He should be able to check for anyone suspicious tailing us while driving.
But, Yomi, be sure to check the minds of people approaching us
She can’t read minds unless there’s a certain distance.
Therefore, at least check those who approach us.
Roger that, Sensei
We sit down on the arrangement Yomi gave us.
Oh, it’s the right choice to sit in between Mariko and Kana-senpai.
Ai who sits on the second row looks at me with lonely eyes.
Everyone put on your seatbelts
Kudou-papa said.
Then, he starts the engine.
We’ll be warming up the engine so please wait a while
Uhm, modern vehicles don’t need to be warmed up though, right?
Haiji says from the passenger seat.
It’s for the mood. Mood! That’s what’s important!
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.
