Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Several flashes of knife light flashed, and as Kudo Shinichi and Nana Komachi dodged, the walls of the room were soon hacked into pieces. Panting and staring at the hand of the ghost-faced man, the great detective was afraid that he would be hacked by the knife if he failed to dodge in time. He originally stood in front of Nana Komachi, but now he was behind her.

“You… hehe… you are really good at hiding… hehe…” The ghost-masked man was also gasping for breath, but because he had difficulty breathing due to the mask, he was breathing much more heavily than Kudo and Nana Komachi.

The twisted left hand slowly reached out to the mask, and the ghost-faced man pulled out a wooden plug from the mask in front of the two of them. Then the lower jaw of the mask fell to the ground, revealing a white silk scarf wrapped around the face and soaked with sweat.

"Now I admire him a little bit. He didn't suffocate to death."

Nana Komachi looked at the white silk scarf that was stuck to the ghost-masked man's face due to his excessively violent inhalation, and could vaguely make out the shape of the ghost-masked man's face.

[Anyway, he's a beardless guy who doesn't look very old.]

Kudo Shinichi wanted to dodge the silver knife that was swinging towards him, but he caught a glimpse of Nana Komachi's companion fainted behind him. In order to prevent that guy from being stabbed to death by the tip of the knife, he could only use his football belt to block the ghost-faced man's knife, but this time he was kicked hard in the chest and was kicked directly into the corridor, sliding down the wall to the ground in front of Xiaolan who had just come out of the toilet.

"Shinichi?!"

The girl rushed to her boyfriend who was sitting on the ground. She turned around and saw the kimono ghost fighting with another man in black clothes. She wanted to go forward to help, but was immediately stopped by Kudo Shinichi.

"It's no use going there now. The guy has already hired someone to help him."

Looking at Nana Komachi's watch, Kudo Shinichi climbed up from the floor with the help of his girlfriend. He noticed Onimian, who had taken a knife and fled, and immediately shouted, "This guy has helpers too."

The ghost glanced at Kudo and immediately turned around and rushed towards the yard. His body was very low, as if he was sticking to the ground. He stopped for a moment after crossing the hot spring and looking at the sudden splash of water. Then he turned a blind corner in the distance, stepped on the courtyard wall and left the hotel.

"Damn it, that guy still took one."

Nanamichi pounded the wall in annoyance and looked at his companions lying on the ground. He didn't know how he would be scolded by that gentleman. He sighed and reached out to pick up the two knives on the ground.

"Hey, that was a sniper rifle, right?" Kudo Shinichi frowned, "You guys, do you want to kill that guy directly?!"

"If people like this are not dealt with, they will hurt other people."

Nana Komachi replied and slapped her wrists several times. She didn't pick up the two knives until the other companions entered the hot spring hotel and walked around Kudo Shinichi and carried the people on the ground away. She glanced at the silent detective, left a bottle of medicine that Kudo Yuuji had asked him to take in advance, and left the hotel together.

"That rascal……"

It was not until everyone disappeared that Kudo Shinichi began to grin and rub his chest again. Looking at the shabby room, he had no choice but to be supported by Xiaolan to the clean room next door.

"Shinichi, those men took the knife. Is that okay?"

As soon as Xiaolan entered, she locked the door. She ran to her suitcase and took out the iodine tincture that she usually used for disinfection. She was stunned when she saw Kudo Shinichi lying directly on her mattress.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, this sword was stolen by Kaito Kid from someone else. Besides, it will probably be more useful to give it to these guys than to the uncle directly."

When Shinichi saw Xiaolan sitting down next to him, he took off his hotel uniform shirt as generously as he did when he was still Conan, revealing a purple chest, which made Xiaolan feel a little distressed.

Such a delicate and tender girl had never been beaten so hard before.

"Don't cry." Seeing the sparkle in Xiaolan's eyes, Kudo Shinichi immediately panicked and waved his hands: "This is just the beginning. Last time, when the uncle found out that I swallowed the bonus and didn't give it to Yuuji, he beat my butt until it turned black and purple."

"I'm not crying, I'm just a little angry. I was right outside with you, why didn't you call me?"

"Idiot, how could I let you..." Before Kudo Shinichi could finish his words, he saw his girlfriend's expression that said "I'm crying in front of you", so he had to slap his lips to indicate that he would not say anything more.

"correct!"

Xiaolan took the medicine that Mr. Nanakomachi had sent to Kudo Shinichi and placed it in front of Kudo Shinichi so that he could choose which one to apply.

"Will there be any problem with the medicine that gentleman sent?"

The unicorn girl pushed the wound medicine in a plastic bottle with "Medicine" written on it with some concern: "It's in a mineral water bottle, so it should be handmade."

"Although that uncle won't harm me, I still have to be on guard."

Kudo Shinichi picked up the bottle, hesitated, and walked to the yard. He twisted the cap and poured it into the hot spring. Seeing his girlfriend chasing after him in surprise, he explained, "The medicine is definitely fine, but there may be other side effects. Just soak in the hot spring and use it."

Moreover, the hot spring pool can be closed and the water inside can be drained away without worrying about polluting the pools in other courtyards. After pouring out the wound medicine in the bottle, Kudo Shinichi tried to put his hand in the water and swung it for a while, and it felt fine.

"Then you can go out first, I can make it myself."

"No!" Seeing her boyfriend's puzzled look, Mao Lilan paused and said, "You are injured. It would be bad if you don't feel comfortable in the bath."

"But you might catch a cold if you are blown by the cold wind in the yard..."

"I'll wear the hotel clothes while we're soaking." Xiaolan clenched her fists and refused to refute. "And Shinichi, you're only injured above, so you don't need to take off your pants."

"Xiaolan, you don't have to..."

"Being by your side..." Xiaolan put her hands in front of her: "It's my duty as a fiancée."

The final blow was that the eloquent Shinichi was speechless. Sometimes he was even more innocent than Mouri Ran, so he had to nod and agree with a blushing face.

Seeing that Xiaolan was still a little shy, even though she was the same, she still insisted on comforting him: "Don't worry, it's not like we haven't taken a bath together before."

I don’t know how many times we’ve been together since we were watching Conan.

"You are really...really..."

Xiaolan had no choice but to go into the hot spring pool.

……

"Ah, why is there no response?"

In the hotel, Kaori angrily threw the test stick in her hand into the trash can.

"I've done it so many times!"

"Well, don't worry, it will happen sooner or later." Yuzuki sat next to her bestie and threw hers into the trash can: "I didn't win either."

"Could there be something wrong with Yuuji?" Kaori suddenly stood up from the bed, ran to the suitcase and dug out a bag of wolfberries: "Why not just tie Yuuji back up..."

"Okay, he's already so weak, and the quality of being tough isn't good..." Yuzuki saw Kaori wandering around the room and asked in confusion, "What are you looking for?"

"Medicine."

Kaori lifted the blanket and said, "It's for Yuuji. It's Aunt Yoshimoto's tonic."

"Could it have been taken away by someone?" Jie Yue was stunned for a moment: "If someone used it..."

"It's okay. Just applying that stuff on will not work." Kaori blushed, "It has to be paired with... water or something to be effective..."

"Ah...haha...Kaori...um...I need to drink water every time..."

Yuzuki started coughing.

At the hot spring town, after listening to Nana Komachi's description, Yuuji did not scold these people as he had imagined, but instead thanked them respectfully for taking care of his brother.

"It's good to be back. No one is seriously injured."

Yuuji smiled and said, "Mr. Nanakomachi, I want to give you a holiday as a thank you."

"Holiday, but..."

"Well, even though it's a holiday, it's actually an easier task."

Yuuji pointed to where the box was placed before and said, "I still have a bottle of medicine in my box. Please take them to Hattori Heiji and say it was my assist."

"I understand."

"By the way, please remind him to use it with water."

"Hi."
