Chapter Ninety-Eight: May 3rd
"I beg your pardon for taking up the presumptuous writing to write to you, having long ago learned about your outstanding performance as a high school student detective on television and in the newspapers, and having always hoped to have the opportunity to meet you. I will be hosting an afternoon garden tea party at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29th at the Humble House. Pay for a location map, companions are welcome! ”
Just when Yuichi was trying to think about Teiji Moriya and this plot, Conan, who was staying at home, also took the fan letter in his hand and pondered, he himself would not refuse this kind of fan invitation, but because of this physical reason now, he couldn't go alone. The other party asked him, a famous detective in Kanto, so sincerely, he couldn't put on a score, right?
Yuichi's cousin went to talk to Sister Oki Ayako about things today.,Even if you come back and promise to take me there, it's a bunch of embarrassing conditions.,Remembering the scene when Yuichi took a maid skirt and smiled mysteriously at him and said that he wanted a sister.,Although I don't know what Yuichi was thinking at the time.,But Conan, who intuitively sensed the danger signal, still turned around and ran away.。
In this case, do you really have to go to Xiaolan? Alas! Leave it to fate!
Conan, who was inexplicably sad and indignant in his heart, picked up the phone at home tremblingly, and dialed out a familiar string of familiar numbers.
"Toot! Feed! Hello! This is a Maori detective agency, how can I help you? ”
Listening to the familiar voice, after quietly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shinichi still trembled and started the first call with Xiaolan after a month of cold war, "Hi! Xiaolan ...... Sister! It's me! Hey! Is Uncle here? ”
"Yo! Who should I be? It turned out to be our lovely Conan! Can I help you? You're still used to living with Brother Youyi in the past two days, right? After all, you're most familiar with it, aren't you? Hearing that it was a call from Shinichi, although the hand holding the microphone tightened unnaturally, Xiaolan quickly adjusted her state and teased Conan with a weird yin and yang.
"Haha! That's fine! It's just a general habit, a general habit! That one...... Is the day after tomorrow free? I received an invitation to a tea party, and at half past three in the afternoon of the following Tuesday, that ...... Are you available to join me? After all, I'm not fit to come alone right now! It's best to pull your uncle or your brother up, and that's even better! Please! Xiaolan! ”
"Taking you to a tea party? Yes! That's no problem! ”
"Really? Xiaolan! You're so nice! I ......" Conan, who originally thought he would be embarrassed, immediately jumped up excitedly when he heard Xiaolan's cheerful promise, which was completely different from the script he expected! Sure enough, God still favors him!
However, just when Conan was not happy, Xiaolan on the other side of the phone smiled slightly and continued to talk about her conditions.
"But! You have to promise me one condition! You've got to go to the midnight movie with me next Saturday! See you at 10 p.m. in the lobby of the Rice Flower Cinema! I've already bought the movie tickets! ”
"Huh? Watching a midnight movie next Saturday? Wait...... Wait a minute! That one...... I'll ...... next Saturday."
"Whatever your reason, next Saturday, May 3rd, you have to be there! Otherwise! Hum...... Good luck! Conan-kun! ”
"Don't! Xiaolan! Listen to me! Don't hang up the phone just yet! I'll have to explain it to you! ...... day"
"I don't want to hear this! By the way, red or blue? ”
"Huh?"
"Red and blue! Which do you prefer? Hurry up and answer! I don't want to hear anything else, if you want to say it, I'll hang up! ”
"Red! I love red! ”
"Humph! Is it red? Sure enough, it's red! I knew it! That's it! Remember next Saturday! I'll take you on Tuesday! So, how about you maybe come back and stay? It's also convenient to travel when the time comes! ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Feed? Listening to the busy sound on the phone, Conan hung up the phone helplessly, and collapsed on the tatami mat in the living room.
"Why do you have to go on May 3rd! It really feels awkward to go on a date with Xiaolan with this kind of child's body! In addition to the unsuccessful park date that I met the black-clad organization before, I confessed in a hurry at the diplomat's house because the bottle of white dried dry children in Hattori Heiji suddenly became bigger. Why is my date with Xiaolan so difficult? This time I watched the movie and looked like a little ghost again! What an unwillingness! I can't do anything, if only I could change back to being a high school student, in that case...... Maybe...... Hey, hey, hey! So shy! ”
Conan, who said no, but was very honest in his body, immediately kicked aside the pile of letters piled up in the living room after receiving Xiaolan's summoning order, changed into his blue suit and hurriedly left Kudo House, as for agreeing to Yuichi's help? What is that? I, Lord Conan, have long forgotten!
Conan, who was humming a song all the way and was in a happy mood, couldn't help but think after the initial excitement, is there any holiday to commemorate on May 3rd? Doesn't look like it? The 4th of May was the day Holmes and Professor Moriarty fell into the Reichenbach Falls, and the 5th of May was Children's Day, and the 6th of May......
"Huh? Isn't this Conan? Are you going home? Just as Conan was thinking about these boring festivals, a familiar voice suddenly sounded not far from him.
"Oh? It turned out to be the Twilight Police Department! Is this another case? If you want to find Brother Yuichi, I can report it! He's okay at home today! ”
"Hmmm! That's right! It's some cases! But you don't need to go out to the police today, let me introduce it! This is Officer Shiratori who was recently transferred to our Search Section! Renzaburo Shiratori! He's a police elite who passed that inhuman exam like Yuichi! ”
"career? Officer Shiratori is really powerful! With Officer Shiratori's assistance, the Twilight Police Department is a powerful tiger! In the future, we will definitely be able to solve more cases to ensure the safety of the water and soil in Tokyo! ”
"Hahaha! I've lent you good words! We still have something to do, so remember to let Yuichi come to the police station when it's over! There are some things that still need to be discussed with him! After all, he is also a new star in our police world! Kudo, Shiratori, my right-hand man of Twilight Thirteen! ”
"Right-hand man? It seems that this Shiratori Ren Saburo's background is not ordinary! That's right! May 3rd is Constitution Day! But so what? Never mind! No matter! Let's go home first! Xiaolan is waiting for me to come home for dinner! It's finally possible to get rid of Yuichi's bastard's dark cuisine and takeout! ”
Watching the Twilight Police Department and Shiratori Ren Saburo go away with a group of policemen, Conan, who couldn't remember what May 3rd represented, rubbed his suddenly rumbling stomach and quickly ran towards Maori's house, where delicious food was waiting for him!
