Shinichi yawned as he finished up his latest collection of paperwork, it didn't seem fair that the more good he was at his job, the more he was punished for it. It was always tedious, and by now, he could probably do it with his eyes closed. Sometimes he even got deja vu due and got confused due to how many times he'd gone through the exact same paperwork. It'd actually been quite embarrassing when he'd mixed up the paperwork once due to him thinking that he'd already done it for a case before.

The sleuth sighed, absentmindedly scratching the phantom itch of where he'd been healed on his wrist. Though even that was barely noticeable, the real problem was that he was bored. Tsuki fluffed out her wings a bit to stretch before nestling back into his hair.

"Oi, who does that guy think he is?" Shinichi ignored the background voice in favour of picking up his coffee mug and taking a sip. It was good, even if it was lukewarm "Pets shouldn't be allowed in the station!" Azure blinked, oh? He wondered why such a windbag was brought here.

Shinichi lazily turned his gaze towards the newcomer, keeping his face blank "Tsuki is causing less of a commotion than you" The man looked to be near his late fifties, what little hair he still had atop his head was grey. Azure narrowed, the male looked to be pudgy and was dressed up too formally despite the police badge he could spot peeking out of the guy's pocket. He could already tell that this guy was lazy and was most likely all talk, not to mention stuck up.

The man's face reddened at an almost alarming rate "Why you insolent-" He made the motions to grab at the sleuth, but was pulled back by Sato.

"I'm sorry Kudo-kun" Sato's eyes were sharp as she levelled the man with a disgusted look "Minichiro-Keibu  just wouldn't take no for an answer when he asked to check this place out" Her words were dry.

"I don't need you to apologize to a rookie for me!" Those who were nearby did their best to hold in a snort of laughter, Shinichi just hid his smirk behind his coffee mug "I wanted to investigate why this place has such an absurd success rate" He crossed his arms over his chest, puffing said chest out "There's something wrong here, paperwork must be going missing" It was the only excuse as to why this station had almost a perfect success rate. It wasn't natural.

Sato looked just about done with Minichiro "You're not even supposed to be working today Kudo-kun" She offered a small smile "Why don't you go home" The least she could do was to prevent Shinichi from being pestered.

Shinichi eyed Minichiro before locking his gaze with Sato's "Are you sure?" He didn't want to just abandon everyone.

"I'm sure" With that, she began leading the guest inspector towards Megure's office.

The sleuth hesitated for a moment before swiftly downing the remains of his coffee, he turned towards Ninoku, one of his co-workers "Can you file this for me?" He had a feeling that he should probably leave soon "It's already filled out"

Ninoku barked out a nervous laugh, grinning "Yeah" He accepted the paperwork "You should probably run before that jerk tries to confront you" He wouldn't let one of their best workers be pestered for just doing his job! Not to mention that he still owed the guy for taking that bullet for him a few months ago.

Shinichi returned the smile with a thankful one before collecting his belongings and speed walking out of the station. He'd long since learned not to run out of them unless it was serious. Since he was so good at his job, and well liked, people tended to run after him in an attempt to give him backup. It had led to a few awkward situations, Kaito had laughed so hard when Saguru had told him.

Once he was out of sight of the station, he looked at his phone, noting that it was around 3 in the afternoon. Going home may not be that good of an idea, especially if the stuck up inspector turned out to be the sort of person who was extra determined. He didn't feel like risking being harassed at his own house.

Kaito blinked, wondering if he'd been imagining things when he'd spotted Shinichi enter a maid cafe of all places. Wasn't the sleuth supposed to be at work? Maybe he should see what's up. Saguru and him had parted ways an hour ago to do whatever since spending all of their free time together wouldn't be classified as healthy. Curiosity now burning within him, the magician headed into the cafe, though not before flashing Tsuki a small grin. His dove was perched comfortably in a nearby tree.

Indigo immediately zeroed in on the sleuth, who'd tucked himself into the farthest corner of the place "What're you doing?" He inquired with a grin as he took a seat across from Shinichi.

"Hiding somewhere unexpected" Shinichi easily replied, not at all surprised by the other's random arrival. He'd been desensitized years ago. The sleuth's gaze eyed the menu, azure lighting up at the coffee selection "You?"

"I drank your blood a few hours ago" His words were quiet as he grinned "I've started to feel worried whenever I think of you and blood magic together" He skimmed the menu, indigos gleaming when he began reading the dessert section, they had so many chocolate dishes!

Shinichi gave an acknowledging hum "I don't plan on doing any more" Akako was creepy, even if she'd just been doing what she had to.

"Are you just going to get coffee, or are you going to get a treat too?" Kaito could tell that the other wouldn't answer him if he tried to ask what price had the sleuth paid for him, so he wouldn't ask "They have this lemon ice cream, you might like it" Unfortunately there wasn't any lemon pie.

Shinichi gave a small shrug "I might as well try it" Kaito would eat the rest if he didn't like it.

Me: Random maid cafe~ Because I can

Hope you enjoyed~

=~= I'm morbidly curious about the concept of cricket sauce for spaghetti...

It's not like I haven't been tricked into eating a chocolate covered one before when little... >~> my sibling ate the choco covered worm so I think cricket was the luckier choice
