When he returned to the house last night, in addition to packing up his salutes, Tang Ze did two other things.

The first thing to do is to look at the rewards.

Sure enough, this wave of rewards is only 200 life points.

But this is also expected, Tang Ze has expected it, and there is nothing to be disappointed about.

As for the second one...

That's right, Karasawa also called Ayako yesterday and invited the other party to travel to the island together.

It just so happened that Ayako also had time and directly agreed, so there was this scene in front of Conan that made him "envious, jealous and hate".

In this regard, Tang Ze said, isn't this a matter of course!

After all, you two high school students have girlfriends with them yet.

I, an adult who has already established a relationship, take my girlfriend on a trip with dignity, which is not a very natural thing!

And I'm coming by myself, you all have little girlfriends, isn't that me the one who is being abused?

Therefore, the dead friends do not die in the poor way, in order not to be abused, then they have to abuse you~

Anyway, the case on Fish-Man Island Tang Ze also has a plan, which can ensure that the case will not happen, and it is okay to bring Ayako to travel to the island~

After all, I've been dating in the city lately, and I'm a little tired of watching movies and shopping, so it's not bad to go out for a walk occasionally~

Naturally, there was no need to mention the dog abuse on the ship, and the ship soon arrived on the small island of Minabejima, which is said to be inhabited by mermaids.

From the dock to the town, the overall appearance of the town is reflected in the eyes of everyone.

Perhaps because it is located on a small island, the population is not large, and there are not too tall houses here, at most about three or four floors.

Not far from the town, you can also see a small hillside of two or three hundred meters on the side, and at this moment the island is full of people coming and going, which seems to be very lively.

However, when they came to the island, they still had something to do, so they found the office first.

Generally on this kind of island, the office hall is basically a convenient place to find people, and it is the same as the organization on the island of Asumi Mori.

After all, it is a village on a small island, and the local population is not large, so basically one office hall is enough for the villagers to handle various matters on a daily basis.

And basically, as long as you go to the office to find someone, the person is either dead or missing.

And this client, who sent a letter to Hattori Heiji named Saori Menrib, also couldn't escape this "Kegaku's Law", and had disappeared before they came.

After questioning, according to the person in charge of the office, the person did not go to work yesterday, and Saori Menori's neighbors speculated that she might have taken a boat to the island.

And this time coincided with the time when the letter of entrustment was sent to Hattori's family.

It was also after reading the contents of the letter that Hattori Heiji and his wife set off in the afternoon, and finally found Tang Ze and his party in Shizuoka in the evening.

"We're here at the right time, I heard from Mr. in charge, it's an annual event on the island." Ayako took Tang Ze's arm and smiled, "When we're done with business, let's take a good walk around the island." ”

"No problem, when the time comes, I will buy some souvenirs and go back, the things here are very distinctive." Tang Ze looked at the surrounding goods such as "mermaid amulets" and "mermaid steamed buns" and said with a smile.

"Anyway, isn't this an island where the legend says it's inhabited by fishmen? Why is the festival called? He Ye on the side asked with some curiosity.

"Because it's the source of the merfolk." Heiji Hattori replied, "In ancient times, it was said that the flesh of dugongs could be refined into an elixir of immortality. ”

"What does that dugong look like?" Xiaolan on the side asked curiously, "Is it beautiful?" ”

"No, on the contrary, it doesn't look like a manatee." Tang Ze explained with a smile.

"Huh? So how can you be considered a mermaid? When Kazuha heard Tang Ze's words, he couldn't believe it: "The appearance of a manatee, no matter how you look at it, it won't look like a beautiful creature like a mermaid." ”

"In fact, it doesn't have much to do with the appearance, you must know that many fantasy creatures are just processed by human beings from the original imagination, but it depends on whether they are processed on the good side or the bad side."

Tang Ze smiled and explained: "The reason why dugongs are called mermaids is only because female dugongs occasionally have the habit of carrying their cubs to the surface of the water to breastfeed.

So it's not surprising that dugongs were mistaken for "mermaids" when ancient ships passed by. ”

"I see."

"I feel like this statement is closer to the truth."

"That's right, the ancients were actually very superstitious, and it was normal to see dugongs breastfeeding their children on the sea in the distance, and they were adults."

Xiaolan, Kazuha, and Ayako listened to it with relish, and then got together to discuss it with each other.

And while talking and laughing along the way, everyone also came to the store mentioned by the person in charge, and this is also the place where Kamori Saori works.

From the proprietress they learned that Saori Menrib had become distracted since she lost the one she had drawn at the festival last year, and she was afraid that the merfolk would take revenge on her.

"But it's just an arrow, how can it be lost because the arrow is lost?" Mori Kogoro was obviously a little unconvinced when he heard this.

"Because there really are mermaids!" At this time, a female clerk with short hair suddenly said: "That is a talisman that can live forever, you can see that all the tourists who are here for it today, you will know how attractive it is." ”

Seeing that everyone was a little unconvinced, the short-haired waitress smiled and said, "This is what the immortal life after eating mermaid meat said it himself."

And on top of the arrows, there is also hair tied with the divine power of life, and the wish of immortality can definitely be realized! ”

Speaking of this, the short-haired woman smiled a little sarcastically at the corner of her mouth: "You said that she lost such a precious one, how could she not be afraid, even if it is not impossible to escape from this island." ”

After finishing speaking, the short-haired woman ignored everyone's reactions and walked away, the arrogance of "everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober" is almost beyond words.

After asking the female boss after the other party left, Maori Kogoro on the side learned that the other party's name was Kuroe Naoko, who was a childhood friend who grew up with Saori Menri.

As for the fate in her mouth, it is the priest in charge of this time, and the representative of this small island, the person who is said to have eaten a mermaid and obtained immortality.

And according to the female store manager, the granddaughter of the fateful is also Saori's childhood sweetheart, and she may be able to get some news about Saori Menrib from her.

In desperation, Tang Ze and the others set off towards the shrine again.
