Chapter 361: Have You Heard of the Fruit of Wisdom?

"Let me explain, then. There are also regulations on the pine mushrooms picked here, only three can be picked by adults, and two can be collected by children. I'll serve you food right away when I get it back. Got it?"

On the weekend, I accompanied the children out to camp as promised, today I went to the mountains to pick mushrooms, and tomorrow I went to the creek to really camp and play. Although Conan had already told the children that I was going to do some special training for them before he came, but seeing the children running around with great interest, even Shiho on the side knew that Conan's words were in vain.

"Also, don't go over the barbed wire. In the past, the two areas were hunting areas. There are bears there, but of course, there are no bears here. ”

The caretaker's words made the children breathe a sigh of relief, bear. In the minds of children, it is already a terrifying existence. Soon, however, the focus and excitement of the collection made the children forget what the administrator had just said.

"Damn. Is that Uncle Administrator lying? Half an hour later, under a big tree, Yuan Tai turned over the weeds under the roots of the tree over and over again, but he didn't even see the shadow of the pine mushroom.

"Could it be that someone else has taken care of it? Ayumi said with a small frown.

"How is it possible, such a large forest. Mitsuhiko stretched out his hand and drew a huge circle in front of him. "Definitely we haven't found the right place yet. ”

"Not necessarily. Yuan Tai thought for a moment. "The nutritional value of pine mushrooms is so high, there must be many people who want to collect them. It is said that its nutritional content is higher than that of apples. ”

"You should be surviving in the last days, you have been collected. The corners of Conan's mouth twitched slightly. I just wanted to tell everyone the correct way to collect and find, but I heard the tea-haired girl next to me refuting Yuantai's words.

But in the Bible, Adam and Eve's forbidden fruit of being banished from the Garden of Eden by God after eating the apple is the fruit of wisdom that discerns right from wrong. Compared to the pine mushroom, I think it's much more mysterious. ”

"Well, I still prefer apples to mushrooms. Next to the tea-haired girl, a pale golden boy said. "Have you ever heard of the fruit of wisdom? The apple is known as the earliest fruit of wisdom, and when it comes to the fruit of wisdom, we have to talk about the fruit of life, it is rumored that Adam had a woman named Lilith before Eve met her, and Adam and Lilith gave birth to eighteen children, seventeen of whom ate the fruit of life, and the youngest child, Li Lin, was !! in pain because he failed to eat the fruit of life. Xiao Wai let go. Let go, my ears are falling off!"

"You've diverted the conversation too far. Shiho raised her eyebrows slightly and tugged at my ears. "But it's just folklore that says it's the fruit of wisdom, and as for the one Kaoru said, you're probably going to read it in another book. ”

"Uh... It's rare to have a chance for me to advertise.,Why are you stopping me.。。 I rubbed my ears and looked at Shiho with a slight grievance. But in exchange for Shiho's eyes.

“”

"Hmm, Mitsuhiko, what's wrong with you, why is your expression so wrong?" Just when Shiho and I didn't say a word, Conan noticed that Mitsuhiko's expression next to him seemed to be a little strange.

"Where... Something is wrong. Mitsuhiko blushed suddenly. "I... I was just looking at her intently. With that, Mitsuhiko's gaze returned to the object of his gaze.

"Does she mean Gray Plains?" Conan looked in.

"yes. Although Ashbara-san always speaks coldly, I found that she seems to be very knowledgeable. She always seems mature and calm, don't you think she always gives people a mysterious feeling and wants people to find out?"

"This"

"Ah, but I don't mean anything else when I say that!" Mitsuhiko hurriedly withdrew the hope in his eyes.

"Mitsuhiko, though I can understand your thoughts. Conan's voice was serious. "I don't want to splash cold water on you, but I advise you to give up, she will never~~~ not something you can chase. And there is another soul faint, and you will never ~~~ have no chance. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Hearing the agitation on Conan's side, Shiho and I turned around at the same time, only to see Conan smiling and waving his hand at me to signal that nothing had happened. But looking at Mitsuhiko's flushed face and a hint of nervousness in his eyes, it was obviously not like he was fine.

"Hmph. Hmph, I, I'm not afraid!" After a roar, I immediately saw Mitsuhiko walking towards me with his hands and feet, as if he was emboldening himself to swallow his saliva.

"Kaoru. Kaoru-kun!"

"Hey?" I tilted my head, looking uncertain.

"I know you're powerful and smart, but, I, I'm not going to lose to you!" With that, Mitsuhiko closed his eyes, strengthened his courage, and continued to walk forward hand and foot.

"Huh?"

———— the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardian————

"Ah!! I can't find it anymore!" After a long journey on a mountain road, Yuan Tai finally gave up. "There's no clue at all, how can I find it!"

"Actually, it's not like there are no clues. As long as you understand the environment in which the mushroom grows, you can do it. "It's time for Conan to play again, and he naturally won't let go of this opportunity. "If you look closely at the pine trees around you, some of the pine leaves have turned yellow-green, haven't they?" Conan began to attract everyone's attention, "Pine mushrooms generally cling to the roots of red pine trees to absorb nutrients. That's why the pine leaves have the color of good and bad. On the other hand, red pine trees usually grow in environments with good sunlight, ventilation and drainage, so if you look for them according to these conditions," Conan came to the bottom of a red pine tree, "Look, the prisoner is hiding here." ”

"Wow! there really is!" the children who came over couldn't help but cry out excitedly when they saw the slim pine mushrooms under the tree.

"Look, there's the same pine needle tree over there!" Mitsuhiko turned around and immediately spotted the next target, and the children ran over to search for the next pine mushroom, and Dr. Asasa was involved.

"Ah, it looks like everyone is already having fun. "At the back of the crowd, I, Shiho, paced through the forest with me. As for the mushroom picking thing, Shiho just smiled indifferently and reached out to pick it when he saw it. missed it, just looked at the excited smiling faces of the children, and shook his head slightly with a faint smile. "But you, don't you want to get involved?" Shiho looked sideways at the relaxed boy beside him.

"Honestly. Not much interest. I put my hands behind my head and said with a relaxed look. "Instead of picking pine mushrooms, I would like to go to the opposite side and come back with a bear's paw. ”

"You," Shiho gave me an angry look. "For children, it's good to come to the forest and mountain to pick mushrooms, hunting or something, they still don't touch it. ”

"Yes, after all, children who are only six or seven years old will not be clouded by their young hearts. I grinned. "But then again, what were we doing when we were six or seven years old? I seem to have killed the first person. ”

"Can you not spoil the atmosphere like that. Shiho reached out and twisted it around my waist. "The rare good mood has ruined you. ”

"Hey, I'll put it another way. "I thought about it. "When I was six or seven years old. Looks like I'm already chasing you. ”

"You're embarrassed to say it. Shiho sighed lightly and said helplessly. "I was six years old, but you're close to twenty, aren't you?"

"Haha, that's what I said. I smiled awkwardly. "But ah, man is a very strange creature. "I looked up at the blue sky through the trees of the forest. The purple eyes were filled with endless satisfaction and yearning. "It's already a soul in its twenties, but it's injected into that young body. I feel like I'm getting younger, too.,Think back to a lot of childish things that happened when I was a child.。。 Hehe, now I'll feel funny. ”

"The hormones secreted by the human body are constantly changing according to age, so it's normal for you to feel that way. Shiho turned his head behind his back and looked at me as he walked, and then he also raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes full of tenderness. "The desire for safety and warmth, and the desire for care and dependence. Who isn't. ”

"Definitely. I turned my head sideways to look at the delicate face, and said with a slight sly, "Then, do you regret getting on my thief ship?"

"If I could do it all over again with my memories, I wouldn't be with you soulless guy. Shiho's smile was equally toned.

"Oh?" Shiho's words made me raise my eyebrows slightly.

"I... Will carry the memory, get a place in the organization at the age of six, and transfer you to my side. So that you have to rely on me. Then, tie you up to death. ”

"Huh? Hahaha!" "When I heard Shiho's words, I couldn't help but laugh. Yes, the situation back then, if it was really me who was attached to Shiho, maybe I wouldn't have had more opportunities to intersect with Ling, and Shizuru wouldn't have been forced to let me perform a play because of my mission. Maybe you won't even get your memories back. Oh, but how can anyone in this world have a chance to start over but me? But I can understand Shiho's thoughts. Of course, as a time-traveler, even if time is really turned back, let us have memories of each other back to the age of six. Our relationship will continue to be the same. Because the love for each other has never diminished because of other people. And if there is such an opportunity, we will carry our own memories and attachment to each other, and we will inevitably mix more vigorously in the organization.

“”

"Hmm, Mitsuhiko, what's wrong with you?" Conan, who was picking mushrooms, turned around and saw Mitsuhiko's worried face again. It turned out that while I was talking and laughing with Shiho, my laughter also attracted everyone's attention. Ayumi was still immersed in the joy of mushroom picking, and the doctor just raised his head and skimmed us before continuing to lower his head and get busy with the matter at hand, Mitsuhiko was disappointed, and this scene happened to fall in Conan's eyes.

"Nothing. Mitsuhiko shook his head. "I've known Kaoru for so long, and we rarely see Kaoru smiling, but when I'm with him, I can always see Kaoru smiling so happily. The same is true of the smiling gray plain classmates. Sharp, intelligent, but rarely acts like a child in front of us, only when he laughs and talks to Kaoru will he smile a little. ”

"Ha, I don't blame you for that. Conan smiled and patted Mitsuhiko on the shoulder. "First of all, those two people are childhood sweethearts, and they've known each other since they were very young. Naturally, it was very chatty. Isn't it the same with you and Motota, and Ayumi? Secondly, these two people are not ordinary children. And it's a bit out of place. As he spoke, a hint of evil flashed in Conan's eyes.

"Ahh It always feels like the three of you have an adult-like conversation once in a while. Are you hiding something from us!" Mitsuhiko scratched his hair a little irritably.

"Haha, ahahaha. Don't worry about these details. Conan smiled wryly and looked around to change the subject. "Then again. Where has Genta gone?"
