Start By Becoming A Mangaka

They entered the sushi restaurant together but stopped by the boss of this place.

The boss of this restaurant said something to them.

Sawako, Yui, Ritsu, Mio, Mugi, and Azusa didn't know what this guy was talking about and they looked at both Yuuki and Yukari.

"I am sorry. We're only tourists and we're not the band that you're talking about," Yukari said.

"Yeah, we're only going to eat something in this place," Yuuki said.

"Oh! I am sorry. Please enter, we have just opened this place! I hope that you can enjoy our food here," the boss said with a smile.

Yukari and Yuuki nodded with a smile before saying, "Let's go and sit down."

"What is he talking about?" Sawako asked.

"He thought that we were a band singing for the opening of his restaurant," Yukari said and explained to them.

"Band?!"

"It seems the boss is inviting a Japanese band for the opening of his restaurant." Yuuki looked at them and said, "If you want to sing, you can ask the boss since I am sure that he'll give you permission."

"You're not going to sing something, Yuuki?" Mio asked.

"Do you want me to sing?" Yuuki asked.

"Yes, I want to hear whether you have a new song or not," Mio said.

Yuuki twitched his lips and wondered whether this girl thought that making a song was as easy as cooking rice in a rice cooker. "How about we eat first? I am quite hungry right now."

"Yes!"

Yuuki tasted the sushi in his restaurant and felt that the taste wasn't bad. 'The fish is fresh and it is very soft...' He chewed the sushi on his mouth and felt that the fish melt on his tongue and gave him a smile. He took out his phone and looked at the clue of murder that he had taken from Conan earlier. He took another piece of sushi while reading the clue on his phone.

"A rolling bell raises me."

"I'm a long-nosed wizard of the castle."

"My portion is a chilled boiled egg like a corpse."

"I finish up with the whole pickle."

"Now I remember to ask for a cake to celebrate in advance."

"It rings again for my hatred."

"It tells me to finish everything by piercing a white back with two swords."

"Yuuki, what is this? It sounds quite scary," Mio said after she read the text on Yuuki's phone.

Everyone seemed curious and also wanted to see it.

"This is a mysterious clue that I have gotten from the Sherlock Holmes museum earlier," Yuuki said. He wouldn't tell them that this was a clue about a murder that would happen in London. He didn't want to make them worry and let them have fun in this city.

"What? Really? How did you get it? I didn't see anything earlier," Ritsu said.

"You have been having fun taking pictures and didn't see that there was a small game in the museum earlier," Yuuki said.

"Let me see it!" Ritsu didn't care about Yuuki's words and took his phone.

Everyone also started to read the clues, but they didn't know the meaning behind the clues.

"Uh? My head hurts," Yui said while holding her head.

"Yuuki, do you know anything?" Yukari asked.

Yuuki sipped a sake on the small cup and said, "It should be a location around this town."

"Location?"

"Hmm, for example, the first line, "A rolling bell rises me." If I am not wrong it should be the famous "Big Ben" in London," Yuuki said.

"If I am not wrong there is a bell that always rings inside Big Ben during a special time," Yukari nodded.

"What about the other clues?" Azusa asked.

"I am not sure, but it should be a famous building in this town," Yuuki said.

Mugi seemed to be interested and said, "Can we search for this location tomorrow?"

"Huh?" Yuuki was startled.

"Yes! Yuuki has said that it is a famous location in this town! We can visit those famous places and also solve this mystery too!" Ritsu thought that it was a good idea.

"I think that is a good idea. I am also curious about which place is similar to a boiled egg and pickle," Yukari said.

"Boiled egg and pickle?!"

They became even more curious when they heard that there was a place that was similar to both a boiled egg and a pickle.

Yuuki wasn't sure what to say and he could only sigh at this moment. He tried to stay away from Conan, but fate didn't let him. He thought for a while and asked, "Do you still want to hear me sing?"

"Yes!" Azusa and Mio said at the same time.

"Will you sing a new song or your old song?" Yukari asked.

"Hmm, we're in the restaurant and I have thought about singing something about food," Yuuki said. He hoped his song would be able to dispel their idea to solve the mystery clue that he had gotten from Conan.

"Is it really something about food?" Mugi asked.

"It is about both love and food. I'll let you listen to it," Yuuki said.

They nodded and couldn't wait for him to sing.

Yuuki stood up and talked to the owner of the restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant seemed to be very happy when he heard that Yuuki wanted to sing a song. He remembered that Yuuki was the rising star of the singer in his country and it was his luck to be able to let him sing for the opening of his restaurant.

Yuuki walked toward the stage and took the acoustic guitar while testing the sound of the guitar for a while.

The guests of the restaurant looked at Yuuki with a curious expression.

Yuuki was ready with his preparation and said, "I'll sing a song for you girls here." He smiled at Yukari and the group.

They felt a bit surprised and shy when everyone looked at them.

"The title of this song is Strawberry Jam," Yuuki said and started to play his guitar.

*(BGM: Strawberry Jam - Ai Otsuka).

They had never heard this song and knew that it was his new song. They felt that this song made them imagine a scene where they woke up in the early morning in a good mood while seeing his or her lover beside them on the bed.

"On mornings fragrant with the smell of bread, the strawberry jam..." Yuuki sang with a very cheerful mood made the atmosphere in the restaurant become bright.

Everyone shook their heads slowly while tapping their fingers listening to him.

"I'm overwhelmed by your long lashes & your cute sleeping face...."

Yukari imagined herself sleeping beside Yuuki and wondered whether it was his inspiration for this song.

"Are you pretending to be asleep?"

"Do you intend to surprise me when I get close?"

They felt that this song was very sweet and felt that they would receive diabetes when they heard it, but they really loved it.

"The happiness always increases..."

"Like always, you get up and begin..."

"Kissing me, half-asleep...."

Yuuki played the melody of this song for a while and ended this song.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Everyone clapped their hands together. Even though they didn't understand the language very well, they knew that it was a song about love. They were wondering who was the lucky girl in the group of seven girls. Though, they would cough in blood when they knew that Yuuki had tried to flirt with seven of them.

Yuuki hoped for them to forget about solving the mystery and enjoyed their trip to this city. He really hoped for it....
