Chapters
File 001: Three hats
The manga starts with Amuro preparing to go and getting into Café Poirot. He starts making cold-brew coffee and repairs a chair. Azusa then gets in too and comments Amuro is early. While Azusa and Amuro are talking, a grandma who is a regular customer comes in and orders assorted sandwiches with plain water. Azusa is worried since she used to love Poirot's coffee. Later, Azusa serves her order and Mrs Tsuruyama says she is thoughtful for making it hot water. She also thanks her for making the chair comfortable, which makes Azusa wondering what she meant by hot water and chair.
Azusa then serves pasta for herself and Amuro, which he then quickly starts eating. She asks him if he prefers bread for breakfast, judging from his looks and since he is blonde. He tells her that she needs to dig deeper to make logical sense. Azusa then mentions Amuro's jobs, and he's not just wearing two hats at once, but three. Amuro smiles and responds he learns from all of them to reach a single goal.
Later at Amuro's apartment, pictures of Moroboshi Dai, Shiho Miyano, and Conan Edogawa is shown on his table. He then gets into his car and says "Forget three, I could act out a hundred different faces. If I was who I was before... I always think of... Akai Shuichi... If only I could forget about you..." with a scowling face.

Azusa and Amuro are shopping at a supermarket. As usual, Azusa tells him a fun fact about packaging. As they go to checkout, they see a lot of people lining at the registers. Azusa deduces if there's a line with two cashiers, they've hit the jackpot. She suddenly remembers she hasn't bought Karasumi. She grabs the last one but another woman grabs it too. While they argue with each other, Amuro asks an in-training employee to confirm with the manager if the Karasumi is not available anymore. The employee replies that the manager said it is sold out. Azusa gives up on the Karasumi's last stock as advised by Amuro.
Amuro whispers and explains "sold out" means it is gone where it's being sold, and "out of stock" means there's no stock both at where it's being sold and in the storeroom to the employee. Afterwards in Café Poirot, the woman who argued with Azusa is seen eating Karasumi pasta and asks for the recipe.
