Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Mori Detective Agency

This is crazy.

It's so pretty.

Isn't it?

Heiji and I are on our way now to check out the lights.

What?

Now?

Aren't these lights at Tokyo's Kinza Block 4?

Yeah, so we thought we'd invite you.

We're here.

Huh?

What?

Y-You actually came?

Yeah. We're busy at the end of the year.

Today's the only day we were free.

And you said you weren't busy this weekend.

Uh, yeah...

I guess not.

But I just got back from grocery shopping.

I haven't made dinner yet.

Dad said he'd be home around seven,

so I need to start cooking.

Then I'll help you.

Let's whip something up and go have dinner while we look at the lights.

What?

Come on!

Uh, okay.

Don't worry about paying for dinner.

We brought meal tickets to a café in Kinza.

You boys have fun at Poirot downstairs.

Sure.

Hey, Kudo.

Huh?

If you're planning on asking why we came...

I'm not.

I already know.

Fine, then.

Curtains rise as the headliner appears!

He beautifully dances his mystery-solving steps!

I wish I could give Hattori my support,

but a strange customer arrives at Café Poirot.

Always determining the one truth

with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,

his name is Detective Conan!

Solving Mysteries at the Poirot Café

"Solving Mysteries at the Poirot Café, Part One!"

Mori Detective Agency

I'm surprised Hattori-kun

agreed to go to such a romantic place.

I was surprised, too.

I expected him to say something like "don't be stupid."

Wow, it's so pretty!

Apparently they're the lights at Kinza Block 4.

It must be crazy in person.

Wanna go, then?

What?

My mom won some tickets to a café in Kinza in a lottery.

She said she wasn't sure what to do with them since she didn't have time to go.

Do I sense romance in the air?

Huh?

There you go again.

You always think there's love in the air, Ran-chan.

Huh? This meat and potatoes doesn't taste like anything.

What?

Oh, no. We forgot to put the soy sauce in.

No way.

What are we going to do?

We've already boiled it quite a bit.

The ingredients will turn to sludge before they absorb the flavor.

Let's make curry instead.

Y-Yeah.

Who comes all the way to Tokyo for that?

Shut up, idiot.

You went all the way to London to tell her how you feel.

I-In my case...

What an idiot.

Huh?

You mean you can't tell?

Aren't you a detective?

A detective should be able to deduce how I feel!

You idiot!

H-Hey! Wait, Ran!

Hey!

No! Let go!

You're a tough one.

What?

You're like a tough case.

There's all these distracting emotions.

Even if I were Holmes, it'd still be impossible to solve.

It's impossible

to accurately read the heart of the girl I love.

W-We just happened to be in London.

Oh, yeah? I'd like to say a line as cool as that.

Anyway, are you sure about today?

Huh?

The date.

Yeah.

After all, today is...

Friday the 13th.

Huh?

Is that why?

There are various theories on why it's considered an unlucky day.

The most common ones are because Jesus Christ's last supper

was attended by 13 people, or because the number 13

doesn't fit in the duodecimal system.

And Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

President Kennedy was also assassinated in Dallas on a Friday, wasn't he?

But we're in Japan.

You have nothing to worry about.

The 13th day of the month

just happened to be a Friday.

Statistically speaking, it happens twice a year.

You shouldn't worry about telling the object of your affection how you feel.

Besides, Jesus and Kennedy didn't die on the 13th.

But on Friday the 13th...

On the Friday of October 13th, 1307,

King Philip IV had all the Knights Templar in France arrested.

They were unjustly tortured and burned at the stake.

On the Friday of June 13th, 1483,

the notorious Richard III had one

of his advisors executed for treason.

Julius Caesar was also betrayed

and murdered by Brutus on Friday the 13th.

? ? ? ? (?) Customer

Today is a very unlucky day.

Even in Japan, it should be avoided.

Oh, excuse me.

I happened to overhear your conversation and couldn't help myself.

Wh-Who is this guy?

I didn't notice him at all.

Hey, does he come here often?

No, I think it's his first time here.

He came in right after you did.

Welcome.

Ozumi Meisuke (21) Beika University Third-Year

Huh? They're still not here?

Fine, then.

You're with the Beika University drama club that made a reservation, correct?

Your friends aren't here yet.

Sheesh. We're celebrating Yui's birthday here today.

Reserved

When they show up, tell them they can start without me.

Okay.

My stomach hasn't been feeling well since this afternoon.

A-Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Coffee Poirot

Seriously?

Don't tell me we got here first.

Uh, no.

Ozumi-san arrived earlier.

He's in the bathroom.

Really?

Ozumi-kun didn't seem well this afternoon.

Then I have you to myself while your boyfriend's gone.

Stop that.

Yamashita Yui (21) Beika University Third-Year

Tengo, I'm telling you just in case,

but don't say anything about that.

Anzai Tengo (20) Beika University Third-Year

Who knows?

I might let something slip once I start to drink.

Sheesh. They don't serve alcohol here.

Huh? Really?

Nagatsuka-kun's still not here.

Yeah.

He's in the middle of filming

your birthday video right now.

After all, he's in love with you.

Nagatsuka-kun is? Yeah, right.

He always glares at me when I flirt with you.

He's just upset that you're flirting with his friend's girlfriend.

Ozumi-kun and Nagatsuka-kun went to the same high school.

You and I are just childhood friends.

We're just messing around.

Just friends, huh?

Either way, they'll find out soon enough.

What do you mean?

Nothing, my childhood friend Yui-chan.

I-I thought you were just childhood friends.

Nagatsuka Minoru (20) Beika University Third-Year

Nagatsuka-kun.

Hey, you're late.

I got lost.

Lost?

We've been here plenty of times before while hunting for locations.

Have we?

Last year we put on a play based on this location.

We came here together then.

Our previous club president suggested we build a set identical to this place.

We even measured the size of the tables and height of the chairs.

Right, mister?

You remember, right?

I wasn't working here then.

Azusa-san, do you remember?

Yes.

I was asked about how we interact

with customers and serve dishes.

Have a seat.

Let's watch Yui's birthday video together.
