“Oh yes! You didn’t know? He has such a lovely voice,particularly in French. I can’t believe he’s never let you hear it.”
“I find it hard to believe that he would speak it for you, Koizumi-san… and.. as… for he and I, well, we… we are simply colleagues.. with a professional, business relationship…"
"That is hardly appropriate, Koizumi-san.”
“Neither is the deerstalker.”
“…that was almost funny, Koizumi-san. I suggest you quit while you’re ahead.”
“He also speaks French, English, and Italian. Why should you feel shame? He’s so adorable after all… and he looks so much like Kuroba-kun. Hmmm… that’s interesting.”
“He… he does? Ah… Are you quite done with this ridiculous interrogation?”
“You probably look better in fewer clothes…
"That is hardly appropriate, Koizumi-san.”
“And who are you referring to, exactly, Koizumi-san?"
“Who knows? Maybe it’s the young Japanese teenager with the big blue eyes and the cute laugh when he’s talking about solving mysteries and reading Holmes…?”
“Do you mean Kudou-san? We’re… the same age, I thought… aren’t we..? It… It doesn’t matter, Koizumi-san, senpai or not, I greatly respect my colleague and feel no shame in that.”
“I suppose that would depend on who was asking and for what purpose."
“I’m asking. Because it was always really funny.”
“No."
“And who are you referring to, exactly, Koizumi-san?"
“I suppose that would depend on who was asking and for what purpose."
“No… no I don’t. That was a decision made on the part of my agent at the time, actually, and I will have my statement about this fact finished soon to be published for you to read.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll get on it… now that it’s not my birthday I suppose it’s about time I get back to work…”
