"You've worked really hard today, Jiashu-nii."
Repeated signing, smiling, and greeting.
Although I am mentally capable of handling this, fatigue and numbness in my hands are inevitable.
It was indeed a bit of a surprise for Hayashi Yoshiki to suddenly meet an acquaintance in this situation.
--Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan are standing in front of him.
"It's not easy for you to come here specially to queue up. Thank you, Xiaolan, Sonoko, I'm very happy."
Hayashi Yoshiki said with a bright smile.
The two female high school students were very happy to hear this, and each took out a new book they had just bought and asked Hayashi Yoshiki to sign it.
After signing, Hayashi Yoshiki looked at the books in Yuanzi's hand that he had just bought and said, "Don't you need to sign those books?"
"No need, I bought these to show my support, and this is enough for Jiashu's autographed collection."
Suzuki Sonoko replied with a smile.
But actually, she saw that there were so many people queuing today, and she was afraid that Jiashu's hands would break from signing so many autographs, so she decided to lighten his burden a bit.
The two girls didn't waste too much time and left happily after getting the autographs.
The two of them said they were going to buy a cake and read the book they just bought...
Hayashi Yoshiki continued to deal with the fans in front of him.
As his assistant, editor Nanae Asamiya prepared coffee and water for him, as well as some sour candies to help him refresh himself.
"Teacher Lin, could you please give me a message when you sign for me?"
After signing the book of the previous fan, the next person who lined up in front of Hayashi Yoshiki was a very beautiful woman.
She has fair skin and delicate makeup.
She openly used her beauty to ask Hayashi Yoshiki for favor: "Really, please?"
"Okay, then please tell me your name."
"My name is Shimizu Reiko."
"Shimizu Reiko...?"
Hayashi Yoshiki smiled.
He wrote his name on the title page of the open book, and then simply added a sentence "I wish Ms. Shimizu Reiko a happy life"... This happens occasionally at Hayashi Yoshiki's autograph sessions. In addition to signing, he will occasionally write an extra blessing for fans, and he will also take this opportunity to get other people's names.
After getting the autograph, Reiko Shimizu left with a smile.
Not long after, Hayashi Yoshiki suddenly saw Chianti and the others in the queue, and they also noticed Hayashi Yoshiki's gaze, so Chianti waved at them enthusiastically.
Hayashi Yoshiki pretended not to see it.
soon,
Cohen, who was at the front of the line, walked up and handed the book in his hand directly to Hayashi Yoshiki.
"Okay, thank you for your support."
"I'm looking forward to it."
After getting the autograph, Cohen walked away contentedly.
The next Chianti came up and it was, "Yo, Cointreau!"
"Hello, Miss." The business smile on Hayashi Yoshiki's face was impeccable.
"ha?"
Chianti raised her eyebrow with a swallowtail butterfly tattoo. She leaned forward with her tall figure, put her arms on the table and grinned, "You are pretending to be serious. I and they lined up to support you... Hey, how about it, are you surprised or not?"
"Ma'am, there are still many people waiting in line behind you. Could you please take out the book?"
The assistant arranged by the publishing house treated Chianti as a spirited little sister who came from nowhere, and he walked up to her and urged her politely.
Before Chianti could react to his words, Vodka pulled her - Cointreau's identity needed to be kept secret. It didn't matter if they came to the book signing event to join in the fun, but if Chianti really went crazy and attracted attention, her brother would be furious.
It's not like Chianti didn't understand this, but she just kept on ranting about it, then took the autograph and left.
The subsequent vodka and tequila did not cause much sensation.
However, when signing for Tequila, Hayashi Yoshiki asked his name and wrote a blessing... Just like that, Tequila straightened his already straight back in front of the three people.
Just as the few people from the winery were leaving, in the line of the Detective Boys who were still queuing outside the venue, Haibara Ai suddenly looked terrified.
She felt the breath of the organization.
"What's wrong, Huiyuan?"
Conan noticed that Haibara Ai's expression was wrong and asked subconsciously, then looked in the direction of her pale face, only to see a black car driving away into the distance.
However, a few seconds before Conan noticed, what Huihara Ai saw was Vodka sitting in the driver's seat, and Chianti and Cohen also got into the car...
"..."
She was silent for a long while.
Looking at Edogawa Conan who had not yet realized the situation, Haibara Ai, who gradually calmed down as Vodka and the others went away, said nothing - if she had said anything just now, this impulsive and reckless detective would probably chase after them regardless of the consequences, and he might also associate it with Cointreau.
Hayashi Yoshiki continued to sign autographs for people.
Apart from a few times when I was really tired and needed to rest, this autograph session lasted more than four hours in total....
When it was the turn of the children from the Junior Detective League, Ayumi Yoshida was obviously the happiest, especially when she received the message from Hayashi Yoshiki, she hugged the book tightly in her arms.
Haibara Ai also got it.
"What... It's not fair to give it only to girls." Kojima Genta complained.
"Not really, Conan got it too."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said.
"Damn it! Why don't we have it?"
"That can't be helped.....those who don't have it are the majority."
"Well...thank you for waiting in line. How about I treat you guys to ice cream next time we meet?"
Hayashi Yoshiki looked at them and smiled.
This simple sentence immediately made their spirits high again, and Kojima Genta no longer had any complaints... Even though he was a little bit pushy and asked, "Can I have an eel rice?", Hayashi Yoshiki didn't mind.
"What's wrong, Ai? You look a little depressed." Hayashi Yoshiki noticed that Haibara Ai was very silent.
"...nothing."
Looking at this man who gave her the suppository with his own hands, Huibara Ai still feels a little uncomfortable every time she sees him recently.
She was mainly wondering what Vodka and the others wanted to do by appearing at Hayashi Yoshiki's book signing event...
When the autograph session was finally announced to be over and Hayashi Yoshiki was signing the names of the last few fans, Okino Yoko, with her face tightly wrapped in camouflage, hurried over.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yoshiki-kun."
She spoke to Hayashi Yoshiki in a sweet tone.
She came here in a hurry after finishing a whole day of shooting today.
