Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Be a Serious Detective

Kring~ Kring~

There was the sound of the phone ringing earlier. Shikamaru, who was focused on reading a novel by Yusaku Kudo, and not hearing or you can say pretending to not hear anything in the house.

Kring~ Kring~

It's been 30 minutes and the ringing is still there. Inevitably Shikamaru walked over to the phone.

"Shikamaru-kun, do you want to go for a walk to see the wild cherry blossoms?" it turned out that the one who had called earlier was Ran.

Ran was worried about Shikamaru's psychological condition yesterday, but because she was with her mother she didn't have the time to talk to confirm about Shikamaru's condition at that time. What's more, when she called earlier it took 30 minutes for Shikamaru to pick up the phone.

"Gomen Ran-chan. I still have some work to do here, and I also plan to open a detective agency" said Shikamaru.

"Okay, But you have to let me know if something is troubling you" said Ran.

After talking to Ran, Shikamaru also planned to continue to read a novel and laze around.

Kring~

There was another ringing sound, but this one was from the organization's black cellphone. Even though Shikamaru wanted to continue to laze around, he had to pick up the phone.

"I heard you want to be a detective?" Gin said matter-of-factly.

".... Yes, I'm even planning to build a detective agency" said Shikamaru, somehow he had a premonition of imminent disaster when he finished saying this.

"If you can become a famous detective then you will get a Code-name" said Gin and then immediately turned off the phone.

Shikamaru whose only intention is to be a fake detective, because of orders from Gin, Shikamaru has to be a little more serious about being a detective.

For example, build a detective agency!

Even though at first he just wanted to talk nonsense with Ran because he didn't want to go on a trip.

Also, lie to Gin because he didn't want to get a mission and wanted to laze around.

Looks like he can only ask the Doctor about how to build a detective agency!

"Doctor, can you help me build a detective agency?" said Shikamaru When he approached the Doctor at his house.

"Shikamaru-kun wants to be a detective?" asked the Doctor.

"Yes, do you know how?" asked Shikamaru

"Hahaha, you asked the right person, even though I'm not a detective but I still know how thanks to Shinichi"

"The first thing you will need is a business card. Secondly, you need an office location to be a detective, in fact, you should open a separate office than you make the address at home "

"Because if you do that, you won't have any privacy. Just look at Shinichi even now many people send request letters to his house"

"You don't have to think too much Shikamaru-kun, for these two things I can help you" said the doctor.

....

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department serves as the police force of Tokyo Metropolis. Founded in 1874, it is headed by a Superintendent-General, who is appointed by the National Public Safety Commission, and approved by the Prime Minister.

Why are you suddenly talking about it?

Because the detective office prepared by the doctor is close to the Tokyo police station. If you look at it from another perspective, Shikamaru's detective office is next door to the Tokyo police station.

"How troublesome" said Shikamaru when he was in front of his office door. Basically, he really didn't want to open the door.

Because Shikamaru can already imagine the work that will come later. Well, it's better to write a notice at the door that this office doesn't accept commissions on finding pets and finding out about extramarital affairs.

By placing the notice on the door, Shikamaru was sure that 80% of people would not want to come to this office. For the rest there are two possibilities, first the person does need some help and the second is that the person is a psychopath.

Knock~ knock~

"Your delivery has arrived"

Hearing this, Shikamaru immediately opened the door to get the food. But there was one thing that surprised him.

'A foreigner?'

How could Shikamaru not think like that, because the delivery man who delivered the food had darker skin than Japanese people in general and blonde.

"Hello, I am from kiriya bento shop. Are you the one who ordered?"

"Yes, how much does it cost?" asked Shikamaru

"815 yen"

"Then you can sit down for a while while I take the money" said Shikamaru.

"Looks like you just want to open a business here huh? Ah, by the way, my name is Tooru Amuro, if you need a part-timer you can contact me" said the deliveryman.

Shikamaru certainly didn't know that Tooru Amuro was a member of the Black Organization with the code-name Bourbon. So let's keep it a secret for a while.

"Yeah, I opened a detective business here. And actually, I'm also planning to find a part-timer here, how about Tooru-san working here?" Shikamaru asked. Because to be honest he doesn't want to take care of this office either. It would be easy if he had a part-timer who could help him.

"Of course, I can! How about I start working tomorrow?" asked Tooru. He didn't expect to easily get a job in this place, of course working here made his job of investigating this new detective agency easier.

".... You haven't heard the salary yet?" said Shikamaru while thinking that this part-timer was too excited.

"I've wanted to be a detective for a long time, but because of my inadequate skills, I can only work some odd jobs. While working in your office, isn't there's no different from being a detective?" said Tooru.

Hearing these words Shikamaru did not continue his question. Even though he knew that Tooru Amuro's purpose in coming to his office was not that easy.

But until now Shikamaru didn't feel any evil intentions coming from Tooru-san. Whatever hidden intentions Tooru Amuro had, as long as it didn't bother him he would close one eye.

"This is 815 yen, and you can come tomorrow around 10 am to sign the contract" said Shikamaru.

Not long after Tooru Amuro's leave, his cellphone rang.

"What about your detective agency? Is it going well?" Gin's voice came from the cellphone.

"It's all over. As long as I can become famous then the Boss won't give me a mission either, right?" Asked Shikamaru.

"Humph! It's not that you don't give missions, but the missions you get will be lessened and you will also get a code-name" answered Gin and then turned off the phone.

Gin feels irritated with Shikamaru who has been getting lazy lately and doesn't have any motivation. Although, Shikamaru's psychological condition is improving but why is the side effect of getting better is that he becomes lazy?!

"How troublesome" said Shikamaru, who didn't know how much he had been talking about today. Good thing Tooru-san will start work tomorrow he thought.

[Shikamaru-kun, I heard from Ran that you have opened a detective office? I have a client here, and I recommend you to them. See if you can help? ---Eri Kiseki]

"Looks like I have to tell Tooru-san to come early tomorrow" muttered Shikamaru.

Even when he wasn't looking for a job, there were always jobs that came looking for him.
