"There is no murder!"

Ayumi shook off Conan's hand and stuck to Ai: "Dad said that the doll must be cursed, so since then, all the dolls in the house have been sealed up."

But... it can't be said that the father did anything wrong...

Yuji nodded, and found that Ayumi's eyes began to have some tears. He poked Kaori and Yuzuki and asked them to comfort Ayumi.

Before the girls could speak, Ayumi's cell phone rang. In the eyes of everyone, her expression changed from grievance to surprise, and finally to joy.

"My dad said that Pipi's mother gave me a set of dolls for the Girls' Day that no one else used. There are seven layers!"

"Seven...seven layers?!" This time, not only the children, but also Yuji and the other two were shocked.

The Girls' Day is a traditional Japanese festival on March 3 every year. It is also called "Jamiya" or "Peach Festival". It is a festival to pray for girls to grow up healthily and gain happiness.

As a doll for the Girls' Day, it is not just a set of toys, but also a part of the dowry when a girl gets married.

In other words, the dolls for the Girls' Day represent the face of a family. If there is no daughter like the Kudo family, they can choose not to buy them, but generally, families with daughters will definitely have them.

Even when Xiaolan was in the third grade and the Mori family was not rich, Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mori got the upper hand from their elders and spent 450,000 yen to order a set of five-layered dolls for the Girls' Day.

The seven-layered dolls for the Girls' Day must be the kind that can be given away. Even if they are second-hand goods, as long as they have not suffered as frequently as Ayumi, they should cost at least 500,000 or 600,000 yen...

"Ayumi!"

Yuuji pushed Genta and Mitsuhiko away, and in front of others, he squatted down in front of Ayumi and held her shoulders with his hands.

Eh? ! What is Yuuji doing? Is he... going to confess to me?

The girl glanced at Conan, then stared at Yuuji's handsome face hesitantly.

Should I agree or not…

“Ayumi!” Yuuji coughed and asked seriously, “Do your neighbors need neighbors?”

………

“It’s outrageous. I thought you would say something shocking.”

After they separated at the intersection, Yuzuki and Kaori went home first. Yuuji followed Conan and Ai and went to Agasa’s house.

“No matter how outrageous it is, it’s outrageous not to rush up and ask if there is any murder, right?”

The boy squeezed between the two of them, and after a struggle, he held the reluctant Conan and Ai.

“By the way, what happened to you that day?”

Looking at the pigeons and crows flying in the sky, Yuuji held their hands tightly, and ignored the somewhat embarrassed elementary school students in the eyes of passers-by who were laughing.

“Although we were caught by Kurosawa Machiko and Vermouth, they didn’t kill us, nor did they take Huibara away. I can’t figure it out. I can only take it one step at a time.”

Conan’s expression was a little murderous, which stimulated Yuuji to tremble.

"Later, Xiaolan said that Kurosawa Machiko went to the Mori family early in the morning and told her that she had broken up with Mr. Amuro."

Ah, I know this, Miss Chris told us.

"He also kissed her forcefully! And twice!"

Huh? ! Miss Chris didn't say that!

Yuji quickly shook off Conan's hand and stared at him in disbelief: "Kurosawa Machiko?! Forced kiss on Miss Xiaolan?"

"Yeah!" Nodding vigorously, Conan clenched his fists and kept punching the air in front of him: "Asshole! I only kissed twice!"

No, no, no, that's your problem...

Yuji covered his eyes with his left hand and sighed.

What's going on? Isn't Miss Chris's feeling for Xiaolan like a mother's feeling for her daughter? Why now...

As if he thought of something, he suddenly shuddered and raised his head to look forward.

Could it be that Miss Chris also...

The phone rang from his pocket. Hiding from Conan and Ai, Yuji stared at Miss Chris's note, pressed the answer button and put it to his ear.

"I have no intentions towards you, you are just my son!"

Huh? ! Does Vermouth have the ability to read minds? When did it happen?

"I don't have the ability to read minds, I just guessed what you were thinking."

"So, you put a bug on me, didn't you?" Yuji patted his clothes and pulled out a thumb-sized sticker from the interlayer in his pocket.

"When did it start?"

"It was the last time."

The boy's face turned green. He looked at the sky in despair. Pigeons and crows flew by again, just like before.

"Then these few nights..."

There was some silence on the other end of the phone until a minute later, when Vermouth's voice came again.

"You still need to be more restrained. Once every two days is a bit too much."

No!!!

………

“Yuji, you’re back!”

Looking at the boy who opened the door and walked in, Akiko noticed that his color scheme seemed to be gray as soon as she arrived at the entrance.

“What’s wrong?”

Carefully taking off the boy’s coat, Akiko pointed at the boy and made a question mark when she saw Yuzuki and Kaori coming down the stairs.

Waving their hands, the girls said they didn’t know, and the three of them pulled Yuji to the attic of their home.

“What’s wrong here…?”

Looking at the attic that he had specially spent money to decorate, the boy’s eyes stayed on the seven-story Doll Festival doll on the wall, and squinted his eyes and moved closer.

“This? Where are you from?”

Sitting on the sofa that Yuji specially made for the attic, Kaori raised her index finger and pointed at the phone.

"It was Yuji's mother who called and said that we could put her dolls for the Girls' Day."

Mom's? Haven't I seen her put them? With her personality, how could Shinichi and I not have seen such things.

"Could it be that she secretly ordered it and lied to herself that she was still a girl?"

Yuji sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up a right minister doll casually, not noticing that the faces of the three girls were much paler.

Akiko raised the phone with trembling hands, slowly put it to her ear, and asked carefully: "Auntie?"

"Anyway, I am the aunt who deceives myself every day. Tell Yuji that he is dead..."

The phone beeped and hung up from the phone. Under the sympathetic eyes of the three girls, Yuji put the right minister doll back to the previous position and staggered towards the stairs.

"I... want to sleep..."

Escape from reality? !

After watching the boy leave the attic, Akiko put her phone back in her pocket and sat down in front of the table with the dolls for the Hinamatsuri Festival with her chin propped up.

"This is really beautiful. By the way, Kaori and Yuzuki should also have such dolls, right?"

"Yes, Kaori and I had ours custom-made at the same store." Yuzuki took out three cans of coffee from the refrigerator in the attic and gave them to Kaori and Akiko, and opened the pull rings on them with her fingernails.

"They are all high-end dolls with five layers, not as big as the one Yuji's mother has."

Kaori also took a sip of coffee, picked up the top queen doll, rubbed the fabric on it, put it back, and then picked up the emperor doll on the other side and compared it with her and Yuzuki's set.

This set... no matter how you look at it, it must be worth millions of yen...
