Conan: The Mechanic

If Qianyu was a little depressed because the other party refused to accompany him when the goddess Muying just went out under the light rain, now he is only left with anxiety: the weather forecast that Qianyu received before was completely unreliable. Without the existence of this rain, it would not be mentioned that the rain would be so heavy.

Now, he is standing in front of the window, looking at the light outside the window that has been completely blurred by the rain.

[This girl Ying... is it alright? 】

Although Chiba brought a drone with her when she came to Oukiyan, only one of them was assembled. And more importantly, the drone can't work normally in such bad weather, so Chiba has no way to confirm whether Ying is safe on the way home through remote observation methods - the only thing he can do is to give the landline in the shrine. Call up.

After thinking about the conditions of the stairs and path that Ying took home, Qian Yu finally sighed, turned and walked towards the bedroom.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Wearing a heavy storm suit, a raincoat, and a seamless umbrella, Qianyu walked in the pouring rain.

If it was said that she couldn't feel how much the rain was in the house just now, Chiba was now quite sure that her choice to go out to find Meguchi was the right one.

As the auxiliary unit began to use algorithms to correct the visual disturbance caused by the rain screen, the scene in Qian Yu's eyes became much clearer, as if those rain screens did not exist.

However, this is probably because there are no living creatures nearby, right? Otherwise, it would be difficult for this algorithm to effectively predict the details of variable objects occluded by rain screens.

(In simple terms, it is similar to the principle of DLSS2.0, so the prediction accuracy of the unobserved part will be somewhat worse than the actual part that can be seen)

"This guy..." Qian Yu complained softly. "What's the point of rushing back when the rain is so heavy! Even if the cat is fed a little later, it will be fine, but if you get caught in the rain, you will have a fever!"

But in any case, since Qianyu has already decided to come out and have a look, there is no reason to give up and go home.

Sighing softly, Qianyu continued to walk forward.

……

On the mountain road back to the shrine.

"Ugh!" The footsteps slipped a little, and the goddess Muying fell on the steps in front of her.

How many times has it been?

Could the mountain road actually... slide to this point? Or because I haven't faced such an extreme situation for too long, my body is already a little dull...

Carefully holding on to a less slippery place, she stroked her knees again, Ying sighed, stood up again, and started to climb the mountain.

Qianyu is worried about her going home alone, she can understand, and as he estimated, her journey home is far from smooth. In fact, if Chiba sent her home, she probably wouldn't have fallen so many times.

However, it was precisely because this section of the road was so dangerous that she was unwilling to let Qianyu encounter this. Walking on an unsafe mountain road alone is a risk for one person, and walking together is a risk for two people.

[If I had known that it was going to rain today, I would have brought an umbrella too...] Feeling the wet touch from her clothes, Ying thought helplessly in her heart.

It's just that it's too late.

In the darkness of the night, the petite figure continued to move forward.

……

Five minutes later, at the entrance of the small retail store at the foot of the mountain.

"..." Once again confirming that the phone in the shrine was unanswered, Chiba's face was a little ugly.

Tiannv Muying has been leaving for at least 40 minutes. Usually, the journey from their house to the shrine takes at most 20-30 minutes, but now the time she uses is far beyond the normal range.

There were black lights all the way through just now, so Ying couldn't find a family to go in to hide from the rain. The retail store here is also locked, and it is impossible for her to go in and rest. So... if she hasn't reached the shrine, she can only be on this mountain road.

And if you haven't reached the top after spending so long on the mountain road...

Without thinking too much, Qianyu immediately climbed the first step and rushed up quickly.

The steps are made of slate, so they become quite slippery under such precipitation. However, the auxiliary unit can provide Qianyu with a high-quality foothold assessment, so his pace is still fast, like walking on the ground.

However, for a girl like Ying, this is probably a situation that requires considerable energy to deal with, right?

……

The goddess Muying never thought that such a mountain road that she usually doesn't pay much attention to would be so laborious—whether it was the rain or the pain from falling several times in a row, it was all interfering with her pace at this time.

But she doesn't think so now either - in the midst of fatigue and wetness, she seems to have lost her ability to think normally, and just follows the steps mechanically up, as if the world has nothing to do with her.

Even when she stepped on the edge of the steps at the next corner, and then lost her weight and fell down.

The pure white priestess obeyed and fell from the steps~www.readwn.com~, rolling on the muddy hillside next to her, colliding with the thick tree trunk, and being dragged downward by gravity.

There wasn't a part of the body that didn't hurt, there wasn't a place that wasn't in contact with the wet and cold soil, and there wasn't a place that showed her what happened.

【Where is the ground? 】

【Where am I? 】

[Why does it seem like the world is spinning? 】

In a completely unconscious and chaotic situation, all she could do was close her eyes and try to curl up—until she was stopped by two trees that were relatively close at the same time.

Finally, a relatively stable feedback came from the body. It was the feeling of being pressed on one side of the body, and the feeling of the calf and waist leaning on the hard object.

[I seem to have fallen? 】

[It hurts so much, probably fell off the mountain, right? 】

[Although it hurts a bit and it's cold, but... so sleepy]

[If only I could get a little sleep... After waking up, I'll probably have the strength to go home and feed my master, right? 】

[I really want to sleep...]

Thinking like this, the eyes of the goddess Muying gradually blurred - from the perspective of black humor, the current weather, whether she closed her eyes or not, was the most suitable night for sleeping.

[Qianyu, so you don't have to come with me, look, how dangerous it is here! 】

This was the last thought in her heart before she seemed to be about to lose consciousness.

But the next moment, her peaceful thoughts were interrupted.

The intense light penetrated through the layers of obstacles and reflected into Ying's retina, who was almost asleep.

"Ying!"

With the shaking of the light, Chiba's call was getting closer.
