Chapter 122: Commission for the Junior Detective League

Chapter 122: Commission for the Junior Detective League

The next day, the Junior Detective League visited Shinchi Pet Hospital. Conan was absent.

Da Shan Mi went downstairs to bring a group of children upstairs.

"So big!"

"But there are so few people."

"Shouldn't there be many pets here?"

"We're renovating recently, and we'll start admitting patients tomorrow," Da Shan Mi said as she led the children into the elevator. "However, there are some cats and dogs in the Boarding Area on the Second Floor. Would you like to take a look? There are also bunnies and birds!"

"Can we go see them?" Ayumi asked expectantly.

Da Shan Mi nodded with a smile, "Of course you can..."

"Wait!" Mitsuhiko stopped Da Shan Mi from pressing the elevator button and said seriously, "Let's go see Brother Chi first!"

Haibara Ai said leisurely, "Don't forget, this is a formal commission from the Junior Detective League."

"That's right," Genta said thoughtfully, "Then let's go find Brother Chi!"

Ayumi hugged the plastic bag in her arms with a smile, "I also brought Dried Small Fish for Hissashi!"

Mitsuhiko scratched his head, "Uh, but will Hissashi eat Dried Small Fish?"

Da Shan Mi smiled and pressed the button for the Third Floor.

"But speaking of which, what kind of commission does Brother Chi want to give us?" Mitsuhiko looked at Haibara Ai.

Haibara Ai yawned and looked at Da Shan Mi, "I don't know either. Brother Hassashi called yesterday and told us to come today."

"You'll find out later!" Da Shan Mi said with a smile, keeping them in suspense. Seeing the elevator doors open, she led the way out. "This is the Office for the Doctors, and the Advisor's Office is just ahead."

"Eh——"

The three children looked around curiously.

Haibara Ai looked around, then lost interest and looked up to ask Da Shan Mi, "He asked you to come downstairs to pick us up. Is he very busy recently?"

"Ah, no, when the Downstairs called to say you had arrived, the Advisor wanted to come down to pick you up, but it seems he received a very important Phone Call..."

In the Office, Chi Feichei was listening to the Phone Call.

It was a Phone Call from his Mother.

The Woman's voice on the other end of the Phone Call was gentle and soft. She said that taking Mori Kogoro as a disciple was a good thing, and asked Chi Feichei to attend a banquet in the evening.

"...An exchange dinner hosted by a partner. Kikuto will pick you up in the evening, or you can go by yourself. People from the Suzuki Family should also be there. You just need to show your face. If you find it boring, come back early, got it?"

Chi Feichei responded, "I know."

"Your Personality is really becoming more and more like your Father. Did he ask you to live in a Doctor's Home? How do you feel about it?"

Compared to Chi Shinnosuke's concise style, his cheap Mother undoubtedly spoke more, and her tone was also gentle. It took Chi Feichei a while to get used to Chi Kana's always unhurried voice. "That Family has a good Personality."

"Then I'm relieved. Actually, living in Aoyama Fourth Hospital..."

Knock knock knock!

She heard a Knocking Sound from over there and didn't continue.

"Come in," Chi Feichei called out.

Da Shan Mi led the chattering children into the Door. Seeing that Chi Feichei was still on the Phone Call, she made a 'shush' gesture, and the little Kids immediately quieted down.

"You have children over there?"

"I asked them to help design a Mascot for Promotion," Chi Feichei paused, "Just now you said I was in Aoyama Fourth Hospital... how was it?"

"It's nothing, I just think being in the Hospital is good for your recovery, but since you dislike it being too stuffy there, it's good to come out and move around. You're going to design a Mascot for Shinchi Group, but don't forget Mom's side either. Field Group has never had a Mascot, you can't be biased... Ah, I won't talk anymore. Send the design to my Email when you're done. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."

The Phone Call ended.

Chi Feichei put down the Phone Call.

In his entire Memory, his cheap Mother's Personality definitely deserved the four words 'gentle as water'. Even when the couple separated back then, there were no disputes or quarrels, and they mysteriously drifted apart.

When the two got married, his Mother had already inherited the Corporation. If she was going to be busy, she should have been busy a long time ago. Or... did she spend five years taking care of him, and wait until he grew up a bit before focusing on her Career?

Possibly, but these two are a bit too busy...

"Advisor," Da Shan Mi stepped forward and said, "I've brought the children."

Chi Feichei came back to his senses. After all, they were people whose Relationship he couldn't sever in this life. After a long Time, he still couldn't help but think about those things.

"That..." Mitsuhiko looked expectant.

Genta couldn't wait to interject, "Is it true that you want us to design a Mascot for Promotion?"

"Are you really entrusting it to us?" Ayumi also asked expectantly.

"This is the Commission," Chi Feichei nodded and looked at Da Shan Mi, "Da Shan, thank you for your trouble."

"Not at all, the children are very cute. Being with them makes me feel younger," Da Shan Mi said with a smile, "Advisor, if you like children, you can get married early. Actually, your age..."

Chi Feichei raised his eyes and stared. Was this urging him to get married? He was only twenty years old. Isn't it a bit early to mention Marriage now?

Da Shan Mi felt a chill down her spine from his gaze and sweated a little, "I'll go find a Designer to come over..."

"Isn't it entrusted to us to design?" Genta said dejectedly, "Why do we still need a Designer?"

"You guys can't draw," Haibara Ai reminded, "It's better to have a professional Designer come over to draw."

Chi Feichei saw Da Shan Mi leave in a hurry, withdrew his gaze, and said as he stood up, "Hissashi is sleeping over there."

As soon as they heard Hissashi, the three children immediately followed to the Reception Area that was set aside. Hissashi was already awake, but still lying in the Warmer and unwilling to come out. After Ayumi tore open the Dried Small Fish packaging bag and arranged them one by one, it poked its head out and ate a Dried Small Fish in one bite, "Hmm... doesn't feel very fresh..."

Chi Feichei grabbed a bag, watched the children gather around to study the Mascot, and added some Clear Water to Hissashi. Having something to eat is already good enough. No one sends him Dried Small Fish...

"Designing a Mascot... how about using Hissashi's image?"

"I think it's a good idea!"

"Although it's not bad for a Hospital to use a Snake as a Mascot, the Serpent Symbol of a snake wrapped around a Rod has always been a Medical Symbol," Haibara Ai reminded, "But we're not afraid of Snakes after getting familiar with Hissashi. Other children may not be so sure. Brother Hassashi asked us to come here just to see what kind of Mascot children like, right?"

Chi Feichei nodded. With Haibara Ai helping to check, it was quite reliable to let these children design it. "It's not just a Promotion Mascot for the Pet Hospital. If the response is good, Shinchi Group will also use it, so the Mascot doesn't have to be limited to the Hospital's Style."

The three children: "..." The pressure is a bit much...

"And there's also the Mascot for Field Group," Chi Feichei added, "That's also entrusted to you."

The three children: "..." The pressure is even greater...

"If you complete the Commission, I will give you a Commission Fee as Activity Funds for the Junior Detective League," Chi Feichei continued, "In that case, if the Junior Detective League has any Activity, you won't need Doctor Agasa and your Parents to pay for it."

The three children looked at each other, nodded solemnly, their eyes full of enthusiasm.

"Please rest assured and leave it to us!"

"We will work hard!"

Haibara Ai secretly tugged at the corner of Chi Feichei's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Is it really okay to entrust such a big thing to them?"

"It's okay," Chi Feichei said calmly, "Actually, you're wrong. The reason I commissioned them is not to see what kind of Mascot children like, but to borrow their Imagination." It's rare for the Death God Elementary School Student to run far away. He's going to train these three little Kids, find something for Haibara Ai to do so that Haibara Ai doesn't get too bored and overthink, and they can also help him, making things easier for him. How great is that?

Haibara Ai looked up at Chi Feichei speechlessly: "..." Are you serious?
