The moon hangs high.

Bursts of clouds drifted by, making the moon hazy again.

It's still so dark outside.

If he could, Qingming would like to fly beyond the atmosphere to see if the world is really so vast, and to see if the universe is really so colorful.

There are some things that you can't answer without seeing them with your own eyes.

Although sometimes, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth.

"Shiho ......"

Qingming muttered a few words.

No one heard what he was saying, not even Akane, who was standing behind him.

Maybe nothing was said, or maybe everything was said.

It doesn't matter.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

There seems to be some impatience.

Anyway, Qingming didn't plan to say anything, so he waved his hand without looking back, signaling Qian to leave quickly.

He always did.

However, Akane can understand, after all, after getting along for a long time, she is also clear about Qingming's character.

A character that hurts the egg.

And never expect to know what he really thinks from Qingming.

Qingming is too mysterious.

There is a pretentious mystery, and there is a real mystery.

She and him have always been people from two worlds, but because of strange accidents, they met and developed into the current "cohabitation" relationship.

Relationships that are forcibly tied together by so-called "wishes".

It's not the kind of "cooperative" relationship between Qingming and Conan, nor is it the employment relationship between Qingming and the twin maids, and it's not the male-female relationship between Qingming and Enomoto Zi.

To be honest, this "cohabitation" relationship is very unreliable now.

But there is no other way.

Qingming was still willing to protect the two sisters, and she was already very grateful, which was something that no one else could do.

What can be done has nothing to do with the two sisters.

Therefore, staying by Qingming's side and accepting Qingming's protection is the best choice and the only choice.

"Then I'll ......"

She spoke, wanting to leave the place and go back to her room.

But Qingming suddenly spoke.

"Now, Akane."

"Huh?"

"Do you feel good about staying here at the manor all the time?"

“？”

Akane looked at Qingming, who didn't look back, and seemed to be puzzled by such a question.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Suddenly I thought, so I suddenly asked, is that weird?"

"That's not ......"

Akane shook her head.

Qingming is a magical creature full of suddenness, so there is nothing surprising.

It's just strange to have such a question.

Stay at the manor all the time......

"It's nothing good, this is the only place for me, and I really don't know where to go out of here."

Without much thought, she gave the answer.

After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and looked at Qingming with wide eyes, and asked again.

"What, you want me to leave?"

"Let you go? Don't think too much, this is not a place where you can come and go when you want, you didn't want to let you two sisters leave, and now, it's too late. ”

"So why ask such a question? Pointless, isn't it? ”

"Meaning?"

Qingming turned his head slightly, squinting at Akane.

"What do you think makes sense? There is no meaning in living, because sooner or later you will die, and once you die, there is nothing left, and everything is meaningless. ”

“……”

Akane didn't answer.

She disagrees with some of Qingming's thoughts, but she can't refute them.

Because I don't know how to refute it.

Of course, in fact, it is meaningless to refute, Qingming, this person, extremely selfish, does not care about other people's thoughts at all, and does not reflect on himself.

"Alright, you can go back and rest."

She didn't speak, and Qingming didn't seem to have the idea of continuing to talk, so he just let her leave.

Akane wasn't going to say anything either.

Bent down slightly, turned around and left, and Qingming was the only one left in the room.

He glanced back at the door that had just closed.

He continued to look outside.

The moon in the sky is still the same, except for the cloudy and sunny days, as if nothing has changed.

On the ground, the people who looked up at the moon changed one after another.

"Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month used to shine on the ancients!"

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

It's all business as usual.

Every person, every living being, lives their own daily life, which is both similar and different.

Different people do different things.

And some people are now busy with the same thing.

For example, a certain aunt, such as Conan.

and the FBI.

The tripartite forces are competing, except for Conan's side, there is no intelligence system, and the intelligence personnel of the organization and the FBI are greeting each other back and forth, and a lot of things are happening in places that ordinary people can't see.

The world is never calm, at most it is calm on the surface.

In fact, if you really want to say it, Conan also has his own intelligence system, that is, Qingming, and Qingming's crow can be regarded as monitoring every move of the whole of Tokyo.

It's not that powerful, but if you want to know the actions of some key people, it's okay.

It's a pity that Qingming doesn't plan to help him to this extent at all.

So Conan was left on his own.

Sometimes I feel that this kid is sad enough, and Gray Yuan Ai is also his partner, but in dealing with the organization, Gray Yuan Ai can't help him much, and the biggest help is to make an antidote.

I don't know when it will be able to complete the real antidote.

Then there is Qingming.

This is even more needless to say, although Qingming can help him do a lot of things, but Qingming, who is in the name of "partner", belongs to the kind of people who make up the number of people, and the information given is also a little subtle in terms of whether it is useful or not.

So Conan relies on his mother, Yukiko Kudo, as well as his Jitomo, Heiji Hattori, and Dr. Asa as logistical support.

Other than that, he really couldn't find a few people who could help him.

This time it's all about relying on these three.

Originally, he also wanted to ask Qingming for help, but Qingming refused, and the reason was very simple: he also wanted to go to the costume party.

Then Qingming said something like "I'll leave it to me at the party."

But having said that, in fact, according to Conan's speculation, there won't be much going on at all on the party's side, after all, the other party is leading them to the ship, so the really important thing is still Tokyo's side.

Therefore, Qingming just wants to hide and watch the play.

"That's all it takes!"

In the end, Conan could only reluctantly admit such a thing.

Let's not talk about that.

With the passage of time, the night of the full moon has finally arrived.

In the afternoon, Qingming took Ayumi to the dock and boarded the ship that held the party, which was arranged like a pirate ship.

"Filled with an ominous atmosphere!"

Qingming, who was standing on the deck, said so.

He didn't wear makeup at all, and there was no difference between him and Ayumi, who was held in his arms.

No one will care anyway.

Just kidding, Qingming is a believer in the great god of Akalin, and the attribute of Akalin is turned on, who can notice him?

Inexistent.

At this time, the others acted as if they didn't exist, no one came to talk to them or anything, and even the staff seemed to have forgotten that there were still two guests.

Kogoro Mori and Sonoko Suzuki also came.

In addition to them, Yukiko Kudo, who disguised herself as Medusa, and Heiji Hattori, who was wrapped in bandages, also came.

There is also vodka that is assigned to you.

The rest are not important people, Qingming doesn't care at all, he cares more about whether he can have fun tonight, although there is nothing fun on this broken ship.

But there is a little girl in his arms who can "play".

"Let's go, little girl, go see our room, maybe we'll be in the same bed tonight!"
