Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

Chapter 80 Do you have the confidence to put on my kimono for me?

"The sea!"

Wearing swimming trunks, Yuji ran towards the beach with his treasured straw hat.

"It's really crystal clear! It's better to have the sun, the rain in Tokyo keeps falling, it's really annoying!"

After picking up a shell and washing it with sea water, Yuuji went back to get a parasol and a chair.

"How about we do this, throw Hongsan to Dr. Ali, and come here to play by yourself?"

Akiko Okiya wore straw hat No. [-] and sat down next to the boy.

"The doctor and Hongsan are rare friends who forget the years. They chatted very well, it doesn't matter."

Yuji firmly inserted the sun umbrella into the sand and placed the beach chair under the umbrella.

In order to experience the real seaside taste, they did not choose to stay in a high-end hotel this time, but booked a dilapidated hotel.

The waiter boy, who Yuji recognized at the first sight, is Kyogoku Makoto, the Kishi Kishi from Kabano High School next door.

In short, Yuji felt at ease with this bodyguard.

"Yuji-san!" Kaori was wearing a swimsuit, holding a watermelon with Yuzuki.

"Oh! How about we come and play watermelon?" The boy was gearing up and saw that the girls agreed to come down, so he ran back to Kyogoku's hotel.

"Kyogoku-senpai! Do you have a baseball bat at home?"

Kyogoku looked at Yuji and thought about it carefully: "It seems not, because no one wants to play baseball with me, and we don't have baseball equipment at home."

Also, playing baseball with you, who can't catch the ball and can't hit it far, is no fun at all.

The young man took the drink from Kyogoku Makoto, remembering the empty beach, and looked at Kyogoku Shin strangely: "Senior, why is it a good time to travel, but there are no people here on Izu Beach?"

The weather is so good, the sea is calm and the sun is shining brightly, shouldn't it be like this?
Kyogoku's father, who was also muscular, came in carrying a box of seafood. He placed the goods on the dining table, then rested with his hands on his hips.

"Little brother, don't you know? Girls with brown hair are often killed in the woods during this time." Uncle Jing pointed to his son at the truck outside, and then asked him to move things.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter in our house, but be careful when playing outside, it's best to go out with several people."

Nodding his head, Yuji returned to the beach with the drink that Kyogoku Shin gave him. After thinking about it, the boy decided not to talk to the girls for fear of scaring Yuzuki and the others.

After playing for a while, the four of them returned to the hotel together.After briefly washing up, they sat in the hall, enjoying the sea breeze and eating the seafood dishes recommended by Kyogoku.

"We just saw that there is a firework festival on the beach there tonight, do you want to go?"

Akiko put down her chopsticks and mentioned what the girls found when Yuuji came back to look for a baseball bat.

"Fireworks festival..." The young man thought of what Uncle Jingtai said again, hesitating.

"Go! Ah Zhen will go with you too." Uncle Jing Da came over with another plate of seafood dishes. He gave his thumbs up and pointed to his son who was cleaning the table, and praised proudly: "With him here, You can play with confidence."

After agreeing to eat, everyone went back to the room to take a nap.

.........

"Oh, Senior Ah Zhen, the temple fair here is bigger than that in Tokyo!"

The five people came to the entrance of the street. There were more stalls on both sides than last year with Dr. A Li, and the venue was also bigger.

"There are many residents in Tokyo, so we can only hold it by the river." Kyogoku scratched his head in embarrassment: "And I'm not afraid of your jokes. Izu, which relies on tourism to support its finances, would probably have fewer tourists if there were not such a large temple fair. Half of it."

"That's right." Yuji saw the three people who couldn't wait, and went in together after a while.

"It's the mask of Edogawa III, Kudo-kun, look at it!" Yuzuki spent money to buy a Shiba Inu mask with glasses, and then came to Yuji and waved it in front of him.

"I think it suits Usami-san very well."

The young man praised it incomprehensibly.

Candy apples, pinboard paintings, shooting games, all kinds of snacks, everyone tried it all.

"Senior Kyogoku is amazing!" The four of them watched as Kyogoku kept using the thin paper net to fish the goldfish in the inflatable pool into their own bowls, and they also tried it.

Akiko and Kyogoku are really on par, but Yuuji and the others are inferior.

"Sister Akiko, why are you so proficient?" Yuji watched Akiko and Kyogoku put the goldfish back in the bowl, and poked Akiko Okiya.

"Last summer, I played with my sister a few times."

Akiko thought of Miyano Shiho who was still in the organization, and seemed instantly lost.

Yuzuki and Kaori pulled the ignorant boy behind and began to comfort Akiko.

"It's okay, sister Akiko. Although your sister is given to your father, you can definitely see each other again." Yuzuki took Akiko's right hand.

Kaori also nodded and added: "And the stepbrother you like, even though he ran away from home, he will definitely be found."

While wiping her tears and casting a death glare at Yuji who was whistling, Akiko accepted the girls' kindness.

The crowd gradually increased, and they walked forward. The boy who was worried about being separated from the girls asked Kyogoku to follow Akiko and the others, and walked at the end by himself.

Those people who had walked to the innermost part of the street began to return. One stream of people going forward and one going back. The young man gradually separated from Yuzuki and the others in the intersecting crowd. He had no choice but to try to lean against the stall to see if he could join them. .

Not long after, Yuji saw Kaori. She seemed to be separated from Akiko and the others. She was a little depressed, but when she saw Yuji, she became happy again.

"Is your foot sprained?" Yuji looked at Kaori's foot and took her from the back of the stall to the mountain: "Up here is the Izu Shrine. After your foot is injured, you can stay there no matter whether you move forward or backward. It’s very difficult, let’s take a rest at the shrine.”

It's really strange, why are temple fairs always held next to the shrine?

Yuji walked up the mountain path with Kaori on his back, he felt the girl's breathing, and lowered his head slightly.Not just itching, after the incident with Asami Uchida, Yuji discovered that most of his feelings for Kaori-san were possessive rather than romantic.

Arriving in front of the torii gate, the boy put Kaori down. After rinsing his mouth and washing his hands, the two of them looked at the shrine, which was larger than Yoneka Town.

He walked a little closer to the Telford box and was about to put money in it when Yuji raised his finger to Kaori and put it to his mouth. He pointed to the back of the main hall, and then listened carefully with the girl.

The voices of a man and a woman came from behind. Although it was not loud, it seemed that it could be heard clearly even in the empty shrine.The person speaking didn't sound very old, almost the same as Yuji and Kaori.

"...Yu."

"...one leaf."

"...do you have the confidence to put on my kimono again..."
