Chapter 95: School Festival (1)
"Hang gliders, poker pistols..."
Dr. Asa read as he placed the props in the prepared box, "Oh, and this lens-reinforced monocle..."
"Should it be all together?"
After looking around again, Dr. Asa casually closed the lid, and then handed the box to Kaedehara, "Then it's hard for you to help send it out, Sora." β
"It's okay, I just had to go out." Kaedehara said, "By the way, Doctor, didn't you always give things to your friends in person before?" β
"Oh, he seems to have been abroad recently and has some things to do, so let me send it directly to him. Don't forget to help keep it secret, that old man won't let me tell anyone else. β
The old man he was referring to was a bartender friend he had known before, and the two of them often exchanged props, and the doctor got a lot of inspiration from this.
It's just that the guy is mysterious, and he specially asked the doctor not to talk about these things. The doctor is also very interesting to his friends, not only did he not mention it to Conan, but he also had no idea of making money with these props he made.
Kaedehara also found out because he was involved in the production and testing.
In fact, he knew where these things belonged and coveted them, especially poker pistols. However, considering that taking these things out and using them would cause the doctor to lose his trust in front of his friends, he dismissed this idea.
It's better to ask the doctor another day if he can make an anesthetic needle pistol.
It's better to be like Gatling...
Walking out of the doctor's lab with the box in his arms, Kaedehara temporarily placed the box on the table, and then came to Gray Yuan's room.
The door was only ajar and didn't close, but Kaedehara knocked lightly.
There was a feeble response from inside.
After returning from the skating rink the day before yesterday, the cold of the wayward little Miss Gray Plains intensified.
Walking into the house, Feng Yuan saw Gray Yuan Ai holding the quilt with both hands to cover half of his face, lying flat in the warm quilt and looking at the ceiling, looking listless.
"Are you better?"
"Nope."
Gray Yuan's voice came from the quilt, and it sounded muffled, "If Mr. Detective wants to say something like 'It's all your fault for going to the amusement park,'" Gray Yuan paused for a moment, "Yes, I know it's wrong, please don't say anything more." β
ββ¦ Looks like you're in good spirits. β
Gray Plains snorted.
"Alright, I'm just here to ask if there's anything you want me to bring back," Kaedehara said, "I'm just going out for a trip." β
He said the same thing to the doctor. However, it is impossible for these two people to have no psychological burden on such inconsequential lines.
"No, I don't have much appetite right now. And the rest of the jam from last time was basically eaten by the Doctor secretly-" Gray Yuan said lamentingly, suddenly thinking of something, and turned his head to look at Kaedehara, "Prada's latest bag. β
ββ¦ I'm just a kid, and it would feel weird to buy something like this. β
Outwardly, he is still an incapacitated person. Something at this price point is clearly beyond the scope of the ability of a normal first-grader to behave.
Gray Yuan expressed his unwillingness to give up with a staring gaze.
ββ¦ Yes, I'll ask the doctor for help, but it's too late. "Or see for yourself if you can buy it online." β
β¦β¦
In order to avoid the doctor's address being revealed, Kaedehara walked a little further away to send the things out.
When he walked on the way back and passed by the Maori Detective Agency, he happened to meet Xiaolan, who was probably returning from taking out the garbage.
"Sora!" Xiaolan greeted happily, "What a coincidence! β
"Sister Xiaolan."
"Where's Xiao Ai?" Xiaolan was a little curious, looking a little like her best friend Suzuki Sonoko, "Wasn't it with you?" β
"Gray Plains she has a cold, rest at home." Kaedehara explained, "I just happened to come out to help the doctor deliver something. β
"Huh? Is it serious? β
Although she had actually only seen Gray Yuan's side and didn't say a few words, Xiaolan still cared about the child very much.
She was relieved to learn that the cold was not serious, but she still told Kaede that she planned to visit tomorrow.
Thinking about the day before yesterday, Gray Yuan Wai didn't seem to have any resistance to Xiaolan, and the relationship was okay, so Feng Yuan responded.
"Ah, yes!" Xiaolan took Kaede Yuan upstairs, planning to let him go up and sit, "I heard Conan say that you are going to play the scene of Kamen Superman at the school festival, right?" β
"Hmm. But it's a few days later than Sister Xiaolan's school festival in your high school.γ β
Speaking of which, elementary school students are all hot for three days, and Ayumi and others shouted every day to rehearse, but after rehearsing a few times, they left this matter behind.
"Conan also said that you and Xiao Ai are going to play the hero and heroine! I also have a play to play, Xiaokong, you just came to help me refer to it. β
With that, Xiaolan pushed open the door, and then found that she was only a few minutes away, and Uncle Maori drank beer and watched TV.
Xiaolan's face sank suddenly.
Conan, who was doing a crossword puzzle in front of the newspaper, couldn't help but shudder.
A moment later.
"More than once, even the second time..."
"Who is the sacredness of you who rescued me?"
Xiaolan's voice was heard in the Maori detective office.
"Oh! The Unknown Knight in Black! If you can grant my wish...", Ran continued, "please take off your black mask and face me as you really are!" β
"Oh! If this is the wish of the princess," said Uncle Maori, as he took off his hood made of paper bags, "let my ugly and wounded face be exposed to the bright moonlight!" β
Poof.
After saying that, Uncle Maori couldn't help but laugh.
"Please be serious!" Xiaolan said dissatisfied, "There are only two weeks left before the official performance of the school festival!" β
"This kind of fleshy knight's lines, how can I be serious..."
Conan sat on the side and watched Kaedehara flip through the script, and couldn't help but yawn. He only went to Tottori Prefecture with Uncle Maori yesterday to solve a commission, but he met Hattori Heiji halfway through and met a somewhat sad murder together.
"Who wrote the script for this love scene?" Uncle Maori, who was forcibly pulled to cooperate with the rehearsal, was dissatisfied.
"Garden!" Xiaolan replied, the answer is quite in line with Conan's guess, "The Black Knight is based on Shinichi. β
"I told her that Shinichi was busy with something, and she didn't listen," Xiaolan then complained, "Really, I don't know if Shinichi can come back in time..."
"Hey! Wait a minute! Uncle Maori, who was looking through the script, interrupted Xiaolan's words, "The story behind this script is actually developing... There is even a plot of a knight and a princess kissing! β
"What!" Conan hurriedly snatched the script from Kaedehara and flipped it straight back.
Kaedehara simply let the script out.
The East Asian vinegar king is not him.
"It's just for show, don't worry!"
"Who... Who plays this knight? After two glances, Conan asked with an ugly face.
"At the beginning, it was set as Shinichi," Xiaolan said, "but I don't know if he can come back, so the role of knight will be played by Yuan Zi first..."
"Cut, that stinky boy," Uncle Maori snorted dissatisfied, "I don't know what's so good about that kid that you..."
"Daddy! What are you talking about? Xiaolan blushed and retorted, "I didn't get fascinated by Shinichi!" It's just that Yuanzi thinks this role is more suitable for Shinichi! β
"Oops! It's already so late," Xiaolan decided to change the subject, "I'm going to practice with the garden early tomorrow morning, so I have to take a shower and go to bed early today." β
"But something went wrong with the bathroom, and there is no hot water now."
"What! I'm thinking about washing it too! β
Although he was still a little jealous that Yuan Zi was going to play a knight, it was better than letting other boys play it, so Conan was also in the mood to care about other things.
"Then you two go to the bathhouse and wash together!"
"The bathhouse is closed today! The garden house is too far away..."
"Then let's go to the doctor's house and wash it, Sister Xiaolan." Kaedehara said, "I just have to go back." β
"That's right! I just happened to send you back! Lan said, "Then I'll go get a change of clothesβ"
"I'll go too!" Conan hurried to follow.
"Really," said Uncle Maori, taking out a cigarette, "it's getting late, you two don't make trouble for others, wash together, and come back as soon as you're done." β
"Got it." Xiaolan replied casually.
Conan hummed lowly.
Although it was not the first time he had taken a bath with Xiaolan, there were not many such opportunities. Conan was full of thoughts, didn't look at the road, and suddenly crashed into Xiaolan, who suddenly stopped.
Then Conan noticed that Xiaolan turned his head to Kaede Yuan and said:
"That's right, Sora! Let's wash it together, shall we? β
