Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"The sea!"

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

"It's so crystal clear! It's better to have the sun, it's raining all the time in Tokyo, 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 leave Hongzo to Dr. Ari and come here to play by ourselves?"

Okiya Akiko took Straw Hat No. 2 and sat down next to the boy.

"The doctor and Hongzo are close friends. They are easy to talk to. 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 shabby hotel.

The waiter, Yuji recognized him the first time he saw him. He was Kyogoku Makoto, the young master from Acupido High School next door.

In short, Yuji felt at ease with this bodyguard.

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

"Oh! How about we play watermelon hunting?" The boy was eager to get ready. Seeing that the girls all agreed, he ran back to Kyogoku's hotel.

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

Kyogoku looked at Yuji and thought 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 boy took the drink from Kyogoku Makoto. He thought of the deserted beach and looked at Kyogoku Makoto strangely: "Senior, why is it that now is a good time to travel, but there is no one here at 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 period." Uncle Jingdachi pointed to his son at the truck outside, and then asked him to move things.

"Anyway, no matter what, it's okay in our house, but you have to be careful when playing outside. It's best to go out with a few people."

Nodding, Yuji returned to the beach with the drink Kyogoku Makoto gave him. After thinking about it, the boy decided not to tell the girls because he was worried about 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 fireworks display at the beach tonight. Do you want to go?"

Akiko put down her chopsticks and mentioned what the girls discovered when Yuuji came back to find the baseball bat.

"Fireworks festival..." The young man remembered what Uncle Kyoto said again and hesitated.

"Go! Ah Zhen will also go with you." Uncle Jingji came over with another plate of seafood dishes. He pointed his thumb at his son who was cleaning the table and praised proudly: "With him here, You guys just feel free to play."

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

………

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

The five of them came to the entrance of the street. There were more stalls on both sides than the ones we went with Dr. Ali last year, and the venue was larger.

"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. After checking the time, they went in together.

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

"I feel like it suits Usami-san very well."

The young man praised him in an incomprehensible manner.

Apple candies, illustrations, shooting games, and various snacks were all tried.

"Kyogoku-senpai is so awesome!" The four of them watched Kyogoku keep using the thin paper net to fish the goldfish from the inflatable pool into their own bowls, and they all started trying.

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

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

“Last summer, my sister and I played together a few times.”

Akiko thought of Miyano Shiho who was still in the organization, and seemed to feel lost for an instant.

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 grew larger and they walked forward. The boy who was worried about getting separated from the girls asked Kyogoku to follow Akiko and the others, and he walked at the end.

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 carried Kaori on his back and walked up the mountain path. He felt the girl's breath and lowered his head slightly. Not only was it itchy, but after the incident with Uchida Asami, Yuuji discovered that he was mostly possessive towards Kaori-san, rather than romantic feelings.

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 closer to the Telford box and was about to put money in it when Yuji raised his finger to Kaori's 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 my kimono on again..."
