Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

Chapter 565: First Encounter

"The hot spring buns here are really delicious."

The bitten sandwich pastry shone in Kudo Yuji's hand, that was his saliva. It was obviously a sandwich pastry, why was it called a bun? When studying in Japan, people always like to make their own innovations, which made Yuji uncomfortable.

The boy looked at the hot spring hotel not far away, and his eyes fell on the introduction board in front of the hotel, and then he realized that this was a century-old store.

"Welcome!"

The young and beautiful hostess in front of the hotel looked at the three handsome men and beautiful women, covered her mouth and smiled: "Do the guests have a hotel reservation?"

"No."

After swallowing the hot spring bun in his hand, Yuji glanced at the two girlfriends beside him and found that they did not show any opposition, so he clapped his hands and said: "We want to find a better hotel."

"Our hotel is very good." The hostess pointed to the hotel behind her: "Unlike other hotels, in addition to the public bath, each room also has a separate small pool."

She seemed to see through the relationship between the three people in front of her: "And the sound insulation is very good, even if you want to do something, the next room can't hear it."

"Booked!"

The two girls shouted before Yuji opened his mouth, pushing the boy to the hot spring hotel. It was only morning, but they were already thinking about the evening. Unexpectedly, they met acquaintances in the hotel.

"Cupid boy?!"

"Miss Kinoshita?" Yuji saw Kinoshita's face tremble for a moment, and hurriedly changed his words: "Why is Auntie here?"

"Actually, it's the doctor who insisted on taking this opportunity to bring the children to the hot spring town."

Kinoshita rubbed his palms: "This is the first place we came to play after we met again."

It was because Yuji helped the two fall in love. Dr. Agasa seemed to want to share this happiness with the children around him, so he asked his fiancée to book a room.

"I have booked three rooms here, and the hotel should have one more."

After the introduction of the old aunt, Yuji learned that this hotel had only four rooms in total because of its good room facilities and low holding funds. Although Kinoshita had made a lot of money after booking three rooms, it was still unwilling to leave that room idle, so it asked the waiter to solicit customers outside at a 50% discount.

After settling in the hotel, the three said goodbye to Kinoshita, and Yuji drove north and arrived at the foot of a mountain called Fengling an hour later. There seems to be a small town on the mountain, but this is not the destination of the three people. Yuzuki found that the boy's eyes were fixed on a shrine on the top of the mountain. He looked at Kaori and understood something.

Japan has a major feature that people are often entrusted to shrines or temples after death. Temples and shrines have large tracts of land and are willing to accept donations from guests to bury the dead in the land as a cemetery.

Ignoring the man who was cleaning the shrine, Yuji looked at the cemetery on the right and walked with the two girls to the sixth tombstone in the third row, confirming that this was the purpose of his trip.

On the tombstone was written "Tomb of the Kudo Family" in the handwriting of Kudo Yusaku.

"Is this Yuji's grandmother?" Yuzuki watched the boy take out a few candies from his arms and put them in front of the tombstone, and his eyes twitched: "Is it too disrespectful to bring only a few candies?"

"No, my father told me that my grandmother likes to eat candies very much, and she likes it even more after divorcing my grandfather."

Yuji took out a handkerchief from his pocket, took the mineral water handed by Kaori, soaked it and wiped the tombstone carefully, but it was actually unnecessary because the people in the shrine often cleaned it here.

"My grandmother is a very gentle person. Because she is also a writer for a magazine, she has an influence on my father." Yuji sat down cross-legged: "That night, they called me home. When my father talked about this, my mother was more surprised than me."

"Surprised?" Yuzuki looked at the boy and put his hand on his shoulder.

"It seems that when mom first met dad, he also pursued to become a detective, and he looked down on writers." Yuji rubbed Yuzuki's hand: "The Teitan High School Detective Club was about that time."

"Is that so? Then what about grandfather..." Kaori held the tail of her skirt and squatted beside Yuji: "What about grandfather?"

"I don't know, dad never mentioned it."

Yuji stood up with the help of the ground: "Or he didn't want to mention it, at least as the head of the family, in front of his wife and son."

Worship is just like that. Before arriving, you may have all kinds of ideas in your mind, and you will have all kinds of fantasies about the object of worship, but when facing that cold inorganic object, you can only say a weak sentence: "I'm here."

The three of them quickly returned along the original route, and after throwing some money at the shrine, they drove back to the hot spring town, and then returned the car. Yuji looked at the two girls who went to buy souvenirs, held the railing by the river, and sighed when he smelled the sulfur in the air.

"It stinks."

The crisp voice caused dissatisfaction among the people around, most of whom were locals. They relied on the hot springs for their livelihood and could not allow anyone to say such things about the hot springs in the small town, even if it was just a small child.

Yuji looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a girl with a light brown schoolbag. Noticing the resentful eyes of the people around him, he ran over, bending in all directions while pulling the girl away from the bridge.

"What are you doing! Are you a kidnapper?"

The girl kept struggling, but it was useless. She realized that this person didn't hear her at all, or didn't care, so she looked at her obediently.

"It's not what a good kid should do to criticize a hot spring that is related to their livelihood in such a place."

Stopped in front of the stone spring road at the intersection, Yuji turned his head and looked at the girl. The hair was neither long nor short, the standard Asian face, and the eyes were light blue, which looked quite cute.

"What's wrong?"

The boy blinked and let go of her hand when he saw the girl's expression change from displeasure to surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would come over and grab it again.

"You are Dad... You are Kudo Yuji!" Kuroba Rize observed the reaction of the person in front of him and found that he really didn't know him. He was disappointed and a little relieved at the same time.

[If you don't know him, even if you don't like him, it doesn't matter. 】

"You are so mean, but you are so cute."

"Huh?!" Rize looked at him blankly: "Don't you hate me?"

The long-haired uncle clearly said when his grandmother was away that he was an item born in disregard of his father's wishes, 3 million yen a piece, and even buy three get one free, so even if he didn't know him, he would definitely be rejected by his father instinctively.

"Why?" Yuji squatted down: "You should know that I am the author of Edogawa III."

"That, I know."

"That's good." Yuji smiled and put his hand on the girl's head and rubbed it: "If you don't like children, you can't write such works."

The girl hesitated: "I lost my classmates."

"They are students of Teitan Elementary School."

Of course, Yuji knew the arrangement of the elementary school, six people in a group.

The girl actually took advantage of Haibara Ai going to the toilet and got distracted and lost herself, because she was too strict on the way, just like the mother who educates her children for the first time in the TV series that her grandmother watched.

"Then I'll take you to find them."

Yuji took the girl's hand and walked back but found that she didn't move.

"I want to play by myself for a while."

[Is she excluded? 】
