Conan: The Mechanic

"Dong Dong——" In Yu's house, the doorbell rang.

"Hello—" Yu, who was making breakfast, heard the doorbell and hurried over to open the door, only to see Qianyu appearing in front of the door. "You're finally back, have you had breakfast? Would you mind having it with us?"

"No need," Qianyu shook her head. "I already bought today's breakfast yesterday." After saying that, he took off his shoes and walked back to the reception room.

When Qianyu closed the door and turned his eyes back to the reception room, he saw everyone put down their half-eaten breakfast and stared at him.

"Qianyu, are you back?" Dr. A Li stopped cutting the ham in his hand and greeted.

"I'm back." Qianyu nodded, put her schoolbag on the ground, knelt down in the place everyone gave him, and started to eat.

"Your work is done?" Conan swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.

Qianyu nodded, and glanced at her schoolbag with her eyes, indicating that the results were all in the schoolbag.

"There seem to be a lot of big trucks coming today, are they all prepared for the festival?" Ayumi asked curiously as the sound of a big truck entered the house from the window, who had already finished eating the sandwich.

"This is not an annual small festival," Chiba answered, holding the finished sandwich in her hand. "The festival of May is a big festival held only once for a shrine maiden. It will only be held in May of the year when each shrine maiden takes office for five years. This festival is to celebrate the inauguration of a new shrine maiden. It is held later because the priestess are generally hereditary, and this is to alleviate the grief of the priestess over the loss of their relatives."

"But how did you know this?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Yesterday, when I was transcribing the manual of Nohisa Nohisa's mechanical operation at the Ifobe department store, which is also the residence of Miss Ifobe, Miss Yatsuhiro of Ifobe told me while chatting with me. At that time, I asked him how large the festival would be, But she told me she didn't know, because it was a huge ritual that a witch would do once in her life, the last time it was more than 40 years before she was born."

"What about the 'little' festival held every year?" Mitsuhiko asked suspiciously. "Or is there no annual festival at all?"

"The annual festival does exist, but it's not in May," Chiba held the sandwich with one hand and compared a number with the other. "The end of July after the exam is an annual small festival."

"Then let's do it again?" Yuan Tai asked tentatively.

Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi.

Ayumi looked at Conan.

Conan smiled and looked at Qianyu.

Chiba shrugged and looked at Dr. Agasa.

"Well—" Dr. A Li saw the reactions of several people, and obviously they didn't object (the Prime Minister agreed, and the other four didn't mind). "Okay, we can do it again after you finish your exams and leave."

"Dong dong——" A very light knock on the door entered Qianyu's ears in the gap between the voices. Qianyu hurriedly told everyone to stop talking, and then went to open the door.

Chiyu had seen Yuu's younger sister Qiong standing outside the door.

"Sister, is there something wrong?" Qianyu asked.

"Nine o'clock, the festival, the Ifbu store." Qiong just said three words.

"The festival is outside the Ifbu store, starting at nine o'clock?" Chiba tried to connect these three words. "Then, may I ask, where did Brother Yu go?"

"Prepare for the festival." Qiong's answer was still as brief.

"..." Chiyu was a little surprised by this answer, but decided to ignore the question and glanced at the clock. "alright, thank you very much."

. . . Thirty minutes later.

"How long will we go?" Yuan Tai complained after walking for a long time.

"It's not too far," Qian Yu replied after glancing at the nearby buildings. But he changed his tune after turning a corner. "arrive."

When everyone came to Chiba, they saw that the road ahead was already occupied by the stalls unfolding by the hawkers.

"Doctor, give me some money!" Yuan Tai couldn't hold back when she saw the waving banner of the food stall on the stall, and hurriedly asked Dr. Li for money. "I want to buy food!"

"Ms. Yuan, have you eaten something just now?" Amy said ashamed. "Why do you want to eat again?"

"The food is definitely not ready yet, what can you eat?" Qianyu rolled her eyes. "Wait at least fifteen minutes to an hour to eat."

"Then why do we have to arrive at the festival so early!" Yuan Tai complained with a "cut" sound.

"Is it early?" Conan looked at his watch. "It's nine o'clock and two, it seems that the 'nine o'clock start' of the festival is just the beginning, not the ability to entertain guests."

"It's just that the booths here haven't been able to receive people," a familiar voice came from behind. “The stalls in the center have already started cooking!”

"Brother Yu?" Ayumi turned back, but saw You Zheng and a more robust boy carrying a sedan chair. "Brother, what are you doing?"

"I heard that ~www.readwn.com~ Mitsuhiko thought. "In the Far East, there is a custom of letting the married bride sit in a sedan chair. Is Brother Yu transporting the bride? "

"How is that possible!" Yuu was taken aback by Mitsuhiko's guess, and quickly explained. "This is--"

"A sedan chair for marrying a girl you like," the sturdy boy said before Yu could finish. "You guessed right, kid~"

"Liangping!" You said angrily. "Stop it! We're just—"

"It's just a sedan chair to carry the props needed for the shrine performance," Ryohei explained to the crowd with a smile. "You should be able to see this sedan chair when you are watching the stage play later."

"Why are you still here?" Another girl walked over from the direction of the shrine and asked. "We don't have much time left!"

"Nao-chan, let's carry it over immediately."

"Yi'ai, give us some time!" Liangping said angrily. "We're not trucks!"

Nao - Sauce? ? ? Chiba looked at Kazuya, a girl named Eina Nao, with a playful look. It looks like they have some special relationship. . . It's really fun.

"Then let's go first," Yurang Ryohei and himself lifted the sedan chair again and said to Qianyu. "Qianyu, go forward from here to the foot of the climbing stairs leading to the mountain, look to the right, there is a temporary stage built, there will be performances from ten o'clock, you can go there to watch. Friendly reminder, the main event is in the afternoon At three o'clock, it's the myth and legend of the goddess Chayiji performed by the shrine maiden!"

"Is there a stall where you can buy delicious food now?" Watching the sedan chair go away, Yuan Tai suddenly remembered something important and asked hurriedly.

"Yes!" A voice came from behind the sedan chair. “There are a lot of delicious food already open!”
