17. One Night Festival (2)

When I arrived in Saitama Prefecture, it was already close to the afternoon.

Although Motota and the others had countless excitement about arriving in Saitama Prefecture in the car, this excitement had slowly decreased during the long journey, and finally fell asleep in the car.

Now just arrived at the hotel, Xiaolan and the others got out of the car first, entered the hotel and told the proprietress the two rooms they had booked.

\"This is the room you booked Nos. 281 and 282.\" The waiter brought Xiaolan and the others to the door of the room.

\"No. 281 is a single room, No. 282 is a double room, if you need anything please call me.\" The waiter smiled and handed over the two keys.

\"Hi.\" Xiaolan smiled and took the key.

\"Then I'll take my leave.\" The waiter nodded slightly, then turned to leave.

\"Ayumi, tonight we will stay in a single room, and the double room will be for Dad and Conan.\" Xiaolan took the key, handed the key to 282 to Conan, and then opened the door of 281.

\"You're not allowed to come in.\" As Ayumi entered the room, Xiaolan stopped Motota and the others who were about to enter the room.

"Sister Xiaolan, let's go in.\" Yuan Tai coquettishly.

\"That's not good, a girl's room isn't something you can just enter.\" Xiaolan smiled and refused.

\"Hi.\" Yuan Tai and the others replied softly.

"What are you little ghosts still doing outside, don't you go into the room.\" At this time, I saw Maori walking in stride.

\"Immediately...\" Conan saw that Xiaolan was blocked from the door, and knew that he couldn't get in, so he had to take the key and open the door of room 282.

Open the door, walk in a few steps and look to the right is the bathroom, with Conan and others walking inside, I saw the wardrobe placed on the right side against the wall.

\"Wow, this bed is so comfortable.Also, this TV is so good.\" Motota waited for Conan to open the door and trotted in, then put the bag he was carrying on the bed, then lay down on the bed, then looked at the TV hanging on the wall, and sat up and stared at the TV.

\"It's said that this is a wall-mounted TV that just came out this year.\" Mitsuhiko also walked in, put his backpack on the bed, and said while watching the TV.

"Okay, little ghosts, sit in there and watch TV, I'll sleep first, call me when dinner.\" Maori walked to the bed, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

\"Hi.\" Motota et al. replied.

Maybe it's because of the problem of the wall-mounted TV, or because it's too tired, Yuan Tai and the others didn't say they wanted to go out, so they watched TV in the hotel for a while, and also lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

\"These two little ghosts.\" Conan looked at Motota and Mitsuhiko, who were already asleep, and smiled helplessly, and then looked at Maori Shiro beside him.

\"Aren't you sleeping?\" Conan asked softly, turning down the sound of the TV a bit.

\"Well, it's good to watch TV.\" Xiaobai heard Conan call him, smiled and looked at Conan and replied.

\"yes, it's boring.\But in just over two hours.\" Conan looked at his watch.

\"Well, let's continue watching TV, wake them up when it's time to eat.\" Xiaobai listened to Conan's reply, and then turned his head to look at the TV screen.

\"Well, that's all there is to it.\" Conan heard the answer and turned his head to continue watching TV.

\"Knock knock, knock knock\" Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

\"Dad, open the door, dinner is ready.\" Xiaolan's voice came from outside the door.

"Here, Sister Lan.\" Conan replied as he jumped out of bed and trotted towards the door.

\"Well, Conan, where's Daddy?\" Xiaolan looked down at Conan who opened the door.

\"Uncle he's still sleeping, I'm going to wake him up.\" Conan looked at Ran who had changed into a dark blue kimono.

\"Well, by the way, Conan, there are kimonos prepared in the store in the closet, let everyone wear them when the meal comes, and after eating, it is estimated that the one-night festival will begin.\" Xiaolan thought of something and said to Conan who turned around.

\"Hi.\"

"Then Ayumi and I are waiting for you in the room, ready to knock on the door and call us.\" Xiaolan shouted inside, then gently closed the door and walked into room 281.

"Uncle, it's time to get up.\" Conan ran to the bed where Maori was sleeping and jumped on it, kneeling on the bed and shaking Maori.

\"Motota, Mitsuhiko, it's time to get up.\" and Xiaobai on the other side also called Motota and Mitsuhiko.

"Well, are you going to eat?" Maori sat up and wiped his eyes with his hand, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

\"Well, Sister Lan just came over and said that dinner was ready.\" Conan said as he jumped out of bed and sat up to Maori.

\"Well, let's go over then.\" Maori said, flipped open the quilt, yawned, and sat down like this with his leather shoes.

\"By the way, Uncle Maori, Sister Xiaolan also said that there is a kimono in the closet.I'll let us change into it before we go to dinner.\" Conan said to the seated Maori, and then ran to the closet again.

\"I didn't expect the store to be so well prepared.\" And Mitsuhiko, who was woken up by Xiaobai on the side, looked at the kimonos in the wardrobe, large and small.

\"Well, I can wear this one.\" Mitsuhiko took out a kimono from the closet.

And Conan and Xiaobai, as well as Mori after waking up, also rummaged through it and found a kimono that fits.

\"Well, why didn't I wear it?\" Genta rummaged through it.

"Motota, it can't be without you, right?" Mitsuhiko said as he said.

\"Yes.\" Motota flipped through it again.

\"Okay little ghost,I'll ask the waiter if there's any.\Let's go out first.\" Mori and the others changed into kimonos and said to Genta.

\"Oh.\" Motota could only answer helplessly, after all, there was really no kimono he was wearing in the closet.

\"Knock knock... Sister Xiaolan, we are all ready.\" Conan and his party walked out of the door and knocked on Xiaolan's room.

\"It's coming.\" I saw the door open, and Ran and Ayumi, who were wearing dark blue kimonos, stood at the door of the room.

"Let's go.\" Maori said to Lan in the room.

\"Hi.\" Then I saw Xiaolan close the door, and the group walked towards the counter.

\"Well, why didn't Yuan Tai change his clothes?\" Xiaolan glanced at Conan and the others, and then asked Yuan Tai.

"There's no clothes in the house that I can wear.\" Motota said with his head down.

\"Uh, hehe, ask the waiter when it's time to eat.\" Xiaolan smiled, it seems that Yuan Tai's body is indeed difficult to wear for him.

\"You're Mr. Mori, right?\" As soon as I walked to the counter, I saw the waiter who had taken Xiaolan and the others to the room in the afternoon walked over.

"Hey, that's Mori Kogoro down there.\" Mori replied to the waiter with a smile.

\"The table you booked is next door, so please come with me.\" The waiter smiled and turned to lead the way for Mori and the others.

Out of the hotel, next door is a large restaurant, just walked in, saw that it was already crowded, there were few seats left.

"There are so many people today.\" Maori said as he looked around as he followed the waiter.

\"Yes, after all, today is the night festival of the first day of the world, so there are a little more people.\" The waiter replied as he walked in front.

\"Alright, Mr. Mori, this is your seat.\" The waiter led Mori and the others to seat 21, and then prepared to turn and leave.

"That.\" Xiaolan stopped the waiter.

"Hey, is there anything else?\" the waiter asked with a smile.

\"That's right, this kid can't find the size of the kimono he wears in the closet of your store.\" Xiaolan pointed to Yuantai.

\"I see, then please tell me the size of the kimono, and I'll go to the proprietress to get it after dinner.\" The waiter smiled, and then looked at Motota.

\"Big brother.\" Motota beckoned to the waiter.

"Oh.\" The waiter crouched down.

"What size is the kimono I'm going to wear...\" I saw the waiter whisper in his ear.

\"Well, then, when you're done eating, go to the hostess and get it, I'll take my leave first.\" The waiter smiled professionally and walked outside.

"What size did you just tell the waiter?" asked Mitsuhiko.

\"I'm not going to tell you.\" Yuan Tai snorted softly.

Conan on the side smiled at Yuanta's answer, looked at the various dishes on the table, picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

\"Ah, it's so full.\" Yuan Tai patted his stomach and said.

"Xiaolan, you wait for me at the hotel first, I'll go check out first.\" Maori stood up and walked towards the counter.

\"Hi.\"\"Okay, let's go to the hotel and wait for Dad, and Yuantai, you still have to change your clothes.\" Xiaolan replied with a smile at Maori, and then turned to Conan and the others.

"Hi.\" Conan replied and walked towards the hotel together.

\"Miss Mori, this is the kimono you want.\" As soon as I entered the hotel, I saw the proprietress stop Xiaolan and the others, and then took out a set of kimonos from the counter.

"Thank you, boss.\" Xiaolan walked over and smiled at the boss.

\"It's okay, that's what I'm supposed to do.\" The proprietress smiled kindly.

\"Conan, is the key on you?\" Xiaolan walked up to Conan with her kimono.

\"Hi.\" Conan smiled cutely.

\"Then you accompany Genta to change your clothes.\" Xiaolan handed the kimono to Genta and said to Conan.

\"Hi.\" Conan replied and ran towards the room with Motota.

\"Anyway, why would it be me...\" This was Conan's thought as he ran to the room.

Waiting for Maori to come over after the checkout, Yuan Tai and Conan haven't come out yet, so they can only continue to wait outside.

\"Damn, why haven't these two imps come out yet?\" After waiting for a while, Maori looked at the hallway, still not seeing Conan and Motota.

"Dad, why don't we go and have a look?" asked Lan from the side.

"Okay.\" Maori said and walked towards the room.

\"Uncle, we're coming.\" At this time, I saw Conan and Motota trotting towards Maori and the others.

"Why did you come so late.\" Maori stopped.

\"Genta suddenly had a stomachache and went to the bathroom.\" Conan replied.

\"Really, who told you to eat so much.\" Mori preached to Genta, who had changed into a kimono.

"But, that's really delicious.\" Motota replied as he looked at Maori.

\"Forget it, since it's all here, let's go.\" Maori looked at the people who had already arrived, thinking that he had wasted so much time, and didn't say anything.

Then the group walked out of the hotel and walked around.

\"Wow, it's burning, it's the last \"one\" word.\"I saw Xiaolan and the others looking at the last word burning on Sanyue Mountain.

\"yes, it's really lively here.\" Mitsuhiko and the others looked at Mt. Sangaku, and then looked around.

"Everyone, do you know that this festival is to light the words "one under heaven" in order on the three mountains to pray for the world's first harvest this year.\" Xiaolan said as she walked to Conan and the others.

\"Wow, that's the case.\" Yuan Tai and the others listened to Xiaolan's explanation, showing such expressions.

\"This is similar to the burning words of Jingdong's big characters.\" And Conan also followed Yuantai and the others to listen to the explanation and exclaimed, thinking speechlessly.

"It's good to do this once in a while, stay in an inn, and come to the festival.\" Maori walked in the back, looking left and right.

\"Really, isn't it?\" Ran asked, looking at Conan.

\"Hmm... If you don't have this.\" Conan replied, and as for the latter sentence, he could only think of it himself.

I saw that Yuan Tai and others were holding a balloon, tomcat, Mickey Mouse, etc., and Conan was holding a red rabbit, as for Xiaobai, he didn't ask for it, and Xiaolan and the others didn't say anything.

As for now, Xiaobai still took out a chocolate from his pocket, tore open the package and threw it into his mouth.

\"Really, treat me like a little ghost.And why didn't anyone ask him if he didn't ask for it.\" Conan thought as he looked at Shiro, who had just thrown the chocolate into his mouth.

\"Ah, I'm sorry, could you please take a picture for me too.\" At this time, a dark-skinned man asked Xiaolan.

\"Hey, of course.\" Xiaolan heard the other party's question, walked over, and took the camera that the other party handed over.

\"Mitsuhiko, that uncle is so dark.\" I saw Motota say to Mitsuhiko beside him.

\"yes.\" Ayumi on the side also chimed in.

\"Conan, why did you run to that uncle.\" Yuan Tai and the others ran towards Conan, and at this time, Xiaolan was pressing the snapshot of the camera.

\"Well, a balloon just ran into the camera.\" Yuan Tai and the others had just run in front of Conan when they heard Xiaolan say embarrassedly to the man.

\"It's okay, thank you.\" I saw the dark-skinned man walk towards Xiaolan, and then took the camera.

\"I'm collecting chronicles of the customs of various local festivals everywhere, and this is a photo of these materials.\" I saw the man take the camera, look at the camera and say.

\"Ah, I thought my uncle was an athlete.\" Ayumi exclaimed at this time.

\"Yes, I think so much when I see this uncle so dark.\" Motota and Mitsuhiko also exclaimed.

\"Hehe, kid, my uncle is a writer.As for the skin, it's an interview tan, and I often go abroad because of my work.\" The man lowered his head and patted Ayumi's head, then touched his chin.

\"Oh, yes.\" I saw that the man thought of something, put his hand in the pocket of his heart and touched it.

\"This book, maybe you can read it.\" At this time, I saw the man take out a book and hand it to Xiaolan.

\"Is it really possible?\" Xiaolan took the book.

"Shii Shinichi.\" Mori said as she looked at the book behind her back.

"Actually, I used to write novels under the pseudonym Kyoshu Imai.\" The man replied.

\"Ah,I'll know if Imai counts.\" I saw Xiaolan say loudly, but because it was too loud, the people around her looked at her.

\"When I was in middle school, I read a lot of his books.\" I saw Xiaolan cover her mouth with a book, and then replied in a voice heard by a few people, and the passers-by on the side also continued to discuss their own affairs, as for Yuantai and the others, they also kept looking at Xiaolan.

"But it's strange, that name should be the one used by Tomo Imatake when he debuted." I saw Maori holding his chin and thinking about this.

\"I'm an old friend of Tomoshi Imatake, and the two of us wrote the previous novels.\" The man replied with a smile.

\"Written with Mr. Tomo Imatake.\" Xiaolan said in surprise.

\"The two of us are here today because he got a Naomoto prize, and we're going to drink until the night to celebrate.\" The man who identified himself as Shii Shinichi said as he wiped the sweat from his face.

\"Whew, it's hot.\" The man pulled on his suit.

\"This neighborhood is not bad, can you please take three more pictures?\" I saw the man walk to the side and say to Xiaolan.

\"This uncle is so weird.\ He didn't take off his suit even though it was so hot.\" I saw Mitsuhiko and the others discussing something in a whisper.

\"yes, if I were so hot, I would have taken off my clothes.\" Motota replied as if he had thought of something.

"Hey, they're still here, so you're starting to discuss.\" Conan was speechless as he listened to the discussion of Motota and the others.

When the man who identified himself as Shii Shinichi gave the camera to Xiaolan and walked to the side to pose.

And Xiaolan also followed the scenery he chose to take a picture of him, but when he took the third shot, a person walked out from behind the man and entered the camera.
