Chapter 168: Cave Exploration, Begins
"Good! The tent is set up! ”
Dr. Asa wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, looked at the masterpiece in front of him, and spoke with a little pride to the real and fake children.
"I finally didn't forget to bring a tent today!"
Yuan Tai ruthlessly dismantled the stage on the side, bringing up the troubles caused by Dr. Asasa who came out of the recording studio last time.
Dr. Asasa's eyes wandered to the side, and he tried to divert the conversation with a laugh.
On the other side, Gray Plains Mourning is the only one of the few people present who can cook and is good at cooking.
While she counted the kitchen utensils she needed, she looked at a few happy children, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a little smile.
"I'll start a stove here with my children, so let's go and pick up some firewood nearby!"
Dr. Asa is fond of children and has his own way of caring for the occasionally naughty members of the Teenage Detectives.
He assigned the task and smiled kindly as he watched the children run into the forest.
What a group of children they are! It reminds people of their childhood......
Dr. Asa sighed, and Gray Yuan Wai neatly arranged the seasonings in the backpack one by one, looked at Dr. Asasa who looked like nostalgia, and complained.
"It's really hard for you to be able to live until now without knowing how to cook......"
was awakened from the memory, or with this kind of merciless complaining.
Dr. Asasa was speechless with his big eyes hidden behind his eyes, narrowing into a slit, and looking obliquely at the gray plain beside him.
"You have to take care of it!"
And in Dr. Asasa's sight, the child who wishfully thought that he would be lively but well-behaved to collect firewood and successfully complete the camping activity was quickly attracted by the extra thing after a burst of activity.
In front of a cave that says it is forbidden to enter, Mitsuhiko shouts and calls his friends.
"That's what caught my attention, look at the words on this stone!"
"Go on the path of the dragon, and the heavens will bless you and shine on you."
A large Japanese hiragana name "TO" is carved into this large stone as a backdrop for this misty passage.
A few real children watched this passage and instantly made up a series of interesting and exciting detective activities, as well as the treasures hidden behind the so-called "blessing" and "glory".
…… I'm obsessed with money again.
Conan complained in his heart, and suddenly felt some urge to tease these children.
"Look at this TO, maybe he has some special secret."
"For example...... Tokugawa Ieyasu's treasure! ”
"Like, right?"
Conan found a famous character who started with TO and gave him the word "treasure" that real children would be interested in.
Sure enough, the next moment, several children were so excited that they almost jumped up and cheered.
Conan couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the authenticity and liveliness of these real children, but then he just wanted to pick up the stack of firewood he had placed on the ground and go back to Dr. Asa and Ash Yuan to report.
When I looked back, I found that several real children had all disappeared from my side.
…… As soon as they heard the treasure, they turned on the flashlight on their detective's watch and slipped into the cave.
Conan instantly felt unpleasant in his heart as he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, and poked his head out to look into the cave.
Sure enough, the children couldn't help but turn on their watch-type flashlights and ran into the cave.
Conan screams to stop them, but is outnumbered and dragged in together......
-------------------------------------
"Go on the path of the dragon, and the heavens will bless you and shine on you."
Toru Amamiya looked at the firewood that was obviously tired of being sorted out on the ground, and then looked at the stone tablet standing next to it, and finally gave up thinking.
…… Why do you meet Conan here?
Is this the attraction between a practitioner and a dead spirit?
However, it is imperative that I work with Iwanaga first to help this little monster solve its problems.
Kotoko Iwanaga looked at the words carved on the stone tablet and read them out word by word.
An orange-red fox squatted obediently beside Kotoko Iwanaga, spitting human words.
"Princess, this is the stele."
"When I happened to pass by here before, I saw this passage, but I couldn't understand the meaning."
"That's why I'm asking you to answer my questions......"
Toru Amamiya put his hands in his coat pockets and bent down to look at the stele, judging with the professional eye of a collector.
"The words engraved on this stele should have been around for a while, and the carving marks are also handmade."
"Didn't you try to ask the local spirits? If this stele had enough years, someone would have answered it a long time ago, right? ”
Toru Amamiya asked suspiciously, looking at the well-behaved demon fox.
Ever since the last time I helped President Otonai solve the puzzle of the year, and because of this, I went to the camp of the Demon Fox Clan.
Toru Amamiya's impression of the demon fox is about to be fixed as an occasional handsome demon.
I didn't expect to see such a well-behaved demon fox.
And the demon fox looked at the big monster next to him, and then looked at the princess who was still studying this stone tablet, and fell into thinking about his demon life.
…… I was just infected by a certain kappa who was fanatical about chasing stars, and because of this, I had a whim to chase stars on the spot.
Why is it that when the "star" comes, the monster also comes!
This pungent aura, this fierce gesture, this feeling of depression as if to drown oneself, and the smell of corpses......
Although the princess is still as cute as ever, the fox demon at this moment really can't calm down.
While pretending to be well-behaved, it can only hope that the youkai of this youkai will not suddenly escape from the princess's checks and balances and eat itself in one bite.
"Yes, although the area around this place has always been regarded as a sacred place for camping by humans, it is amazing that there are no dead people who can generate ghosts here."
"And the little monsters who have been living here don't have a very good memory, although it is true that someone has solved the puzzle here, but those little monsters have not written down the answers......"
The demon fox pretended to be calm, stretched out his paw and pointed to the depths of the hole.
"There is also a stone tablet engraved in this cave, I'll take the two of you to see it now!"
The fox demon enthusiastically pointed the way, eager to hope that Toru Amamiya and Kotoko Iwanaga would solve the puzzle as soon as possible, and that she could get out of here quickly.
The idol has already been seen, and the princess is indeed as cute as rumored, and she is indeed amiable to these monsters who treat herself.
And now, after all, there is an eye-catching guy around, and after the wish is fulfilled, wait for your problem to be solved, and you should slip away quickly.
Really, what is wrong with the princess looking for a partner, why should she look for such a strange thing.
Wouldn't it be good to find a fox demon who is as smart, cute and well-behaved as yourself?
Although she seems to be a female with the princess in terms of gender, this form of companion does not seem to be mainstream in either human society or in a weird group.
But at least he's better than a monster!
Miss Demon Fox walked obediently in front of Kotoko Iwanaga, complaining in her heart, while pretending to be calm and putting a smile on her face that humans can't see.
