Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fleeting

"There's no reason for it, I also took a boat with Saori to the mainland before, but it didn't go well!"

Kimie Shimabukuro has a smile on her face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

She seems to maintain that energetic smile no matter who she faces.

Some people are different after all.

And when they heard the name "Saori", Maori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji couldn't be calm.

"What? You take a boat with Saori? ā€

"When was that?"

"It was four days ago!"

Kimie Shimabukuro replied.

"That time I asked her to accompany me to the dentist on the mainland, because we don't have a dentist on the island at the moment."

"At that time, was Saori-sama emotionally stable?"

"She said that she lost the dugong arrow, and she was terrified, and she was afraid that the merfolk would come to her for revenge, and I reassured her that there would never be such a thing, but she just wouldn't listen."

Kimie Shimabukuro replied.

Of course, in fact, it is a little different from what she said.

For example, when it comes to Saori's whereabouts, she actually knows about it.

But these, will not be spoken.

"You're so stupid!"

A girl's voice came from the side.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was a girl dressed in blue.

It is one of Shimabukuro Kimi's friends, Ebihara Shomi.

"The reason why you say this is because you don't believe in your great-grandmother's power at all, she really has magical powers, and she has indeed eaten mermaid meat before, you know, there was a mermaid corpse three years ago, didn't you?"

Three years ago, there was a fire in the warehouse, and the fire was less than overnight.

The next day, after the fire was extinguished, nothing remained of the warehouse, only a skeleton with only bones left.

On the bones, it was a normal person, but the foot bones that should have appeared did not appear, only some broken bones were there.

So it was said to be the corpse of a mermaid, and it was in an uproar at the beginning.

But Shimabukuro Junhui, who heard this, just gritted his teeth secretly.

The corpse was her mother's.

And the person who set the fire, Ebihara Shoumi in front of him, is one of them.

"Don't say it, Shoumi."

A young man appears behind Sumi Ebihara with a hand on her shoulder.

"There are some things that are not suitable to talk about in front of outsiders."

This young man, called Rokuro Fukuyama, also grew up with Saori and others.

Rokuro Fukuyama looked directly at Mori Kogoro and them, and he didn't seem to welcome these outsiders.

"If you're looking for Saori, then you should go to Saori's house to find out about the situation, but only if her drunken dad welcomes you first."

threw down a sentence like this, and Fukuyama Rokuro left directly.

Returning the sea to Ebihara Shoumi also left with him.

In this regard, Hattori Heiji, who had his hands in his pockets, just pouted.

"None of these people are worried about Miss Saori's safety."

"It's because Saori used to quarrel with her dad and run away from home."

Kimie Shimabukuro explained.

This is similar to the story of the wolf, because you are used to it, so everyone is too lazy to care.

Mori Kogoro looked at Kimie Shimabukuro again and asked.

"So, could you please take us to Miss Saori's house?"

"Of course you can, but not until the celebration is over."

I'm still busy with the celebration.

At this time, a young man's voice came.

"Sister Junhui, the things over there have been moved, and there are still ...... Hey? ā€

"Huh?"

As if he didn't react all of a sudden, Mori Kogoro and the others looked at each other and winked at the boy.

It took a while before it dawned on me.

"Shiki, how did you get here?"

Xiaolan looked surprised.

Conan and the others also looked at the four seasons with a puzzled expression.

And the four seasons, just shrugged their shoulders.

"For all sorts of reasons, there's nothing to say anyway."

Specific things, naturally, cannot be said.

Kimie Shimabukuro was a little surprised.

"You know each other?"

"Well, Uncle Sister Lan is all her own."

Shiki nodded.

Although I already knew that the other party would come, it was better to pretend not to know now.

And Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji looked at the four seasons curiously, and felt quite familiar.

After all, I've only seen it once during the incident at the Mori Yuan family, and it's normal that I can't remember it all at once.

And Yuan Shan and Ye were reminded by Xiaolan, and then they remembered it.

"Oh, it's a boy back then!"

After all, she was quite impressed, and the four seasons also teased her.

And the big characters on the clothes of the four seasons are also very iconic.

But now Shiki is not wearing clothes with large characters printed on them, and he seems to be a little dirty, after all, he was moving things just now.

Since it is a celebration, there are naturally a lot of things to prepare, and before the four seasons, I will help to move the fireworks that have been prepared for a long time, and some miscellaneous things to the so-called mermaid waterfall in the back mountain.

Hattori Heiji also seemed to remember, and he couldn't help but look a little unhappy.

After all, the four seasons have teased him...... It's normal for people with small hair to be unhappy.

And the four seasons didn't bother to pay attention to this, and said the excuses that had been prepared for a long time, even if it was to explain why they were here.

However, as for why the four seasons are here, Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan don't seem to care.

Only Conan looked at the four seasons with a slight frown, always feeling that things would not be so simple.

But he also had no way to find the truth.

It's not that he has excellent reasoning skills, so he can reason about anything.

And Shimabukuro Junhui gave the two number plates that were returned to Xiaolan and Toyama Kazuha, and said directly.

"Then, let's go and prepare first, you can take care of yourself."

"Let's go first."

Shiki waved his hand and left with Kimie Shimabukuro.

Conan and the others didn't say much.

On the contrary, it was Xiaolan, perhaps because the girls were more careful, who seemed to have discovered something, and it seemed that she had found nothing.

I always feel that the four seasons seem to care a little bit about Shimabukuro Kimi-e......

Is it a delusion?

"Lan, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, nothing."

"Oh......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

……

Night falls.

In front of the shrine, two large braziers were erected.

The main hall of the shrine, everything is ready.

There are people out there who are busy, all of them residents of the island, helping out.

Shiki is in the main hall, and Shimabukuro Kimie seems to have left.

But Shiki didn't care, just looked at the old woman in the middle of the main hall, who seemed to be very short and old.

Even if it's the four seasons, I'm surprised.

Shimabukuro Junhui's makeup skills are not much worse than him at all, and there is nothing wrong with kneeling on the ground and moving, which makes people unable to see the flaws at all.

If you don't know the seasons in advance, it's hard to see.

The speed of this disguise is indeed very strong, and the speed is also very fast.

Kimie Shimabukuro, disguised as a longevity woman, burned the selected number on the paper door, and then left the venue directly.

After a while, Kimie Shimabukuro reappeared in front of Shiki, wearing light makeup, and seemed to be more beautiful than no makeup.

"But compared to makeup, I really like Sister Junhui's appearance without makeup!"

Shiki said with emotion.

In this regard, Shimabukuro Junhui just smiled.

After all, Shiki was only a fifteen-year-old boy.

I didn't care too much about this, so I just walked out and explained the next activities to everyone.

To put it simply, an hour later, gather at the Mermaid Falls in the back mountain, and give the dugong arrows to the person who has chosen the number.

Then everyone dispersed.

Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Kimie Shimabukuro arranged things and left directly.

Because Shiki is not from the island, he is just a friendly helper, so he also left directly, and no one cared.

After all, they don't know anything about this young man who doesn't know when he was brought back by Kimime Shimabukuro.

……

At night, darkness is also a matter of course.

But tonight, it seemed even darker, with thick clouds in the sky, no moon, no stars, no light at all.

Nights like this can feel a little depressing.

But what is even more depressing is the mood.

For the four seasons, there is a choice.

Whether to choose to let Shimabukuro Kimime complete his revenge by himself, or he will help to do it.

In general, you can't go wrong with choosing the previous one.

Anyway, there are more people killed in the four seasons, and he doesn't care about killing a few more, although those few people have no grudges against him.

And it's also undeserved, so that Shimabukuro Junhui bears more sins.

But Shiki was a little hesitant.

And the opportunity is lost in hesitation.

The reality is that opportunities are fleeting, and there is really not much time for people to hesitate.

Shimabukuro Junhui found Ebihara Sumi without anyone noticing, and he didn't know what he said, so he took Ebihara Sumi directly to the mermaid waterfall in the back mountain.

Killing people is sometimes a very simple thing, on a tall building, next to a train platform, or somewhere, with a gentle push, a person may be gone.

Or holding a knife, whether it is a handmade knife, an art knife, a carving knife, a kitchen knife, a woodcutter, etc., can also put people to death.

Or even use a rope to put a set of strings around a person's neck and tighten it hard, or just pick up a stone and smash it directly into the person's head, and the smaller one directly into the person's mouth.

Life is too fragile, too easy to pass away.

Maybe at any time, a small accident will put one, or even more, lives into a deep sleep forever.

If you can, I hope for world peace and harmony between people.

However, this is not possible.

In this world, whoever still says "I hope for world peace" will definitely be despised.

But Shiki doesn't care about that, he still has to say it.

But now, of course, is not the time to talk about that.

……

What saddened Kimie Shimabukuro was the loss of her loved ones.

But what makes Shimabukuro feel sad is undoubtedly that her mother's death was due to the poisoning of her friends who grew up together, and the fact that she killed her mother's friend with her own hands.

There are always some things in the world that make people feel emotional.

But no matter what kind of thing, since it has been decided, there is no way to turn back.

Shimabukuro Kimi-e stunned Ebihara Shoumi, put her on top of the lifebuoy, put a rope, and directly let Ebihara Sumi float down the river, and when she reached the waterfall, she would naturally be hanged.

After that, Shimabukuro Junhui didn't stay long and left directly.

After all, there are still a lot of things to do, celebrations, but very busy.
