Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Senior Hongye! Here!"

In the afternoon, Kudo Yuuji waved at the station entrance with his hands on his hips, and behind him were the luggage of four people.

After learning that Teidan High School and Teidan Elementary School were heading to Kyoto for a school trip together, the Kudo family, who were bored at home, also chose to come here to play for a few days.

"Kudou-kun, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Under the protection of Iori, Ooka Momiji got out of the car. After looking at Minami Kaori behind him, he called a few people to get in the car together and headed to Ooka's house.

"Actually, we originally planned to live in Nan's house, and we mentioned it to grandpa, but then he said that Kaori's parents went abroad to hold an art exhibition, so we called Chairman Ooka."

Ooka Momiji, who was sitting opposite the boy, was stunned for a long time before she realized that the grandfather Yuji mentioned was Mr. Minami Masamune. She covered her mouth and snickered. Then she remembered that she was strictly controlled by her grandfather because of what happened at the Tokyo cocktail party, and she felt bad in the blink of an eye. .

"But I've been to Kyoto several times before. What are we going to do here?"

As an old Kyoto native, Minami Kaori did not speak. Instead, Yuzuki looked at Yuji suspiciously. The three of them got on the Shinkansen with the boy without asking any questions. Yuji had been sleeping on the way, so they only thought of asking now.

"Well, actually I just want to see how Conan and the others are doing, but my dad gave me a task before we left. I can just do it before returning to Tokyo."

"How can those kind of nouveau riche in the countryside compare with us?" Ooka Momiji crossed her arms and held her chest. She was obviously much more relaxed and looked like a proud golden bird: "The Ooka family is just this mansion. , which is an antique that was gradually expanded from the 17th century.”

Yuji's eyes returned to the middle room, and finally landed on the knife rest.

"What did Kudo-kun learn in school? Swordsmanship or judo?" Ooka Momiji held the tea bowl.

After appraising the area of ​​the house from the front, Yuji rubbed his eyes and compared it with Suzuki Sonoko's home.

Under the leadership of Iori, the four people who had their luggage taken away by the servant arrived at a remote tea room, where they sat on the tatami and drank tea with teacups.

"The Ooka family did not live here for sixty years after the Restoration. They moved to a new town in Kyoto and lived in a bungalow." Ooka Momiji told the story of Ooka to the three people except Kaori: " But after the defeat, my grandfather moved back with his family and renovated the ancestral land in Dagang.”

It can be said that in this mansion, even the teapot used for drinking water may be a valuable old thing.

"Pros and cons, the courtyard alone is as big as two Didan primary schools."

Ooka Hongye opened the Geshan door next to it. The outer aisles were each about 20 meters long, shaped like a tic-tac-toe. The sliding doors in all four directions of the middle room were opened, and the inside was decorated for playing Japanese cards. . What’s interesting is that a pair of samurai armor is set up on a wooden stand in the southwest corner, while a sword stand is placed in the southeast corner, with Japanese swords placed from top to bottom.

"I finally understand why you don't think highly of the Suzuki family."

The car drove into Ooka's house. Rather than saying it was a courtyard, Yuji felt that it was like a forest. The car was not going very fast. After running in the yard for about ten minutes, he saw a large piece of flat land with a huge Japanese breeze. Home construction.

[Is it actually a yard prepared for the heir? 】

Ooka Momiji patted the tatami with her hands: "This courtyard was not originally prepared for me, but I am the only grandchild of my grandfather, so I moved in."

The doors of the other seven rooms are completely closed, and no one can see inside. There is a small yard half the size of the house outside, with some small landscape scenes arranged. There is also a frightened deer on the stone at the end of the stream. It made a banging sound within three seconds.

"Now this courtyard is my own. It is the smallest courtyard among the current residents in the entire Ooka mansion."

"Actually, Yuji studied archery." Kaori heard her older sister, who had grown up, ask about Yuji, and shared it with her.

"But Sister Hongye, you didn't dare to be interested before. Why are you suddenly curious?"

"It's just a casual chat, because I can't imagine him learning judo." Ooka Momiji looked at Kaori: "So I guessed it should be kendo or something else, and I guessed it right." She felt like she had been there since she entered the yard. Weirdly, Yuji pinched his chin, unwilling to use his brains to guess, so he simply asked directly: "Do you have any questions, Hongye-senpai?"

"Eh?"

"That's it. From just now to now, except for Momiji-senpai and Mr. Iori, no one here has spoken." Yuji lowered his head a little, then raised his head and said, "I'm sorry if I'm overthinking it. "

"Actually, your guess is correct. Grandpa did ask me to ask you some questions in a subtle way, but I didn't understand and didn't want to ask you. Now that I can explain it clearly, I feel better."

Besides, the old man chose to let her ask the questions, so he didn't care about these questions. Knowing the answers had nothing to do with not knowing the answers.

The weird feeling Ooka Momiji had just disappeared, and she returned to the feeling of a young lady. She said with a smile: "My family has been away from Kyoto recently, and I have to go to school, so you can arrange your own fun. Let's go." Just say hello to me before."

"Hi."x4
Yuji restrained himself from asking what those questions were. It was not a good thing to know too much, not to mention that the old man was protecting him.

Ooka Momiji had dinner with the four of them, and then asked the servant to take them to the courtyard for entertaining guests. She sat in the middle room, pressed the player, listened to Waka and played cards.

It was not far from Ooka Momiji's yard, probably less than 500 meters away. Yuji looked at the house, which was smaller than Ooka Momiji's, and then looked at Akiko and the others.

"There are about four rooms, which should be enough."

There are also small scenes in the yard, but they are much smaller than those of Ooka Hongye. There are also frightened deers. The boy who disliked them for being noisy directly put them up with bamboo pipes, and then they felt that their ears were clear.

"You idiot, you said there are four rooms, including a bedroom, a bathroom, a guest room and a bathroom. There is only one room where you can actually sleep." Kaori nodded on Yuji's head.

But it doesn't matter, it's not like the three of them have never slept together.

After a brief wash, they walked into the bedroom and looked at an extra-large quilt and a small quilt on one side. Akiko consciously got under the small quilt and sat up to look at the three of them.

"Then I'll go to bed early. The students will arrive tomorrow and we have to find Xiao Ai."

She made a lot of plans to travel with her sisters and decided to enjoy this trip.

"By the way, since you guys are usually noisy at home, I brought sleeping capsules here, so don't worry."

Akiko took out a water bottle from her bag and pinched out a red capsule. Within a minute after eating it, she fell straight down.

"It works really well."

Having long since confirmed that Akiko would not be active with the three of them, Yuji moved the quilt closer to the wall and slept in the back, with his back to Yuzuki and Kaori.

"Hey, shouldn't you be sleeping in the middle?"

The girls pushed Yuji and saw that he was unstoppable. After looking at each other, they turned off the light and lay down on the quilt together.

"I'm so tight against the wall, but you can still get in!"

Yuji unfolded the quilt and looked at Kaori with her head pressed against his chest. He had no choice but to move out a little, hoping to push her up so she could sleep on the pillow. However, he watched Kaori crawl back into the quilt. At the same time, The hands behind him were not honest either.

"Hiss..." (End of this chapter)
