Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 221 Miyano Shiho: Everything is destined

If life is compared to a book, then the troubles in the outside world are just a few lines of narration that are skipped over.

For An He's family, it was just another ordinary day.

Just as every story has an attractive beginning, the beginning of the day does not seem so dull.

"If you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle again next time and make it so uncomfortable, I think you can pack up and get out." Miyano Shiho took out a tube of crumpled toothpaste from the bathroom with a dark face.

"I've said it many times, start squeezing from the rear, it's both convenient and good looking."

An He was sitting on the sofa. She didn't expect that the war would break out just after she got up. He looked at her innocently and blinked.

Xiao Ai in his arms stretched and cleverly jumped away in advance to prevent the war from spreading to him.

"This is my home. You can't chase me away no matter what, right?" An He said with a slightly pitiful look.

Miyano Shiho looked very cruel and was not fooled at all by the man's tired tricks.

"Need I remind you that this entire apartment is owned by me, Mr. Parasite?"

Seeing that his trick of pretending to be pitiful, which always worked for him, was no longer effective, An He had no choice but to admit his mistake honestly.

"I know I was wrong."

Ever since this woman let down her guard and began to attack fiercely, many of the previous tricks were no longer effective against her.

After all, those tricks are only effective at a certain distance and during the "ambiguous period".

Obviously, the current relationship between the two cannot be described as "ambiguous".

Miyano Shiho was speechless for a moment.

She knew very well that this guy was the type who "knew he was wrong, but wouldn't necessarily change."

She had no choice but to restore the toothpaste to its original shape little by little, curl up the tail, and then put it back with satisfaction.

"There will be a school festival for Sonoko and her classmates soon. It seems she has written a script for their class to perform, with Xiaolan playing the leading female role. Shall we go and see it then?"

"Sure." An He caught Amon and stroked its head forcefully, causing it to cackle.

The morning news reported on TV: "Five serial murders that occurred in Osaka, Tokyo, and Kyoto recently have been linked to each other. According to the police investigation, the book "Yoshitsune Ki" was found on each of the victims, and at the end of the book were written the names of Yoshitsune's retainers."

"The police speculated that the dead were members of a thief gang called 'Genji Hotaru'. They used Yoshitsune and his retainers as code names and had been on the wanted list of the Kyoto police for many years."

"Come to think of it." An He let go of Amon who had been struggling, "It seems we haven't been to Kyoto yet."

Miyano Shiho naturally understood his implication: "Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"As the oldest ancient castle in Japan, wouldn't it be a shame not to go there with Mr. Miyano?" Anhe said with a smile.

"I don't have any objection."

Miyano Shiho thought for a moment and then said, "I still have high expectations for the Golden Pavilion."

When she was studying in the United States, she read many famous books, including "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" by Yukio Mishima.

[Witnessing people's suffering and blood, and hearing their dying groans, will make people humble, considerate, optimistic and peaceful. It will not make people want to kill. People can suddenly become cruel, such as sitting on the neatly trimmed grass on this sunny afternoon, idly looking at the sunlight leaking through the leaves on the ground. Killing intentions often arise in such a moment. ]

Especially after returning to Japan, she witnessed many births and destructions, and experienced misfortune and good fortune personally, which gave her a deeper understanding of this book.

"So do you want to be the young man who burned down the Golden Pavilion?" An He looked at her with a smile.

"It's better to burn as bright as a rose."

Miyano Shiho is as proud as a nightingale.

An He clapped his hands and stood up from the sofa: "Let's go."

"Now?"

“Isn’t that what traveling is all about?”

Amon fell on the back of the sofa, quietly tilting his head back to prevent his monocle from slipping off.

An He smiled and held out his hand to her, like a down-and-out musician inviting the princess to elope with him: "Let's go on a journey at any time."

Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at him, picked up Xiao Ai in her arms, and walked towards the room holding it.

"I'm not interested in wandering with you."

An He touched his face, looking a little embarrassed.

Soon, Miyano Shiho packed their suitcases and walked out pushing the suitcases. Xiao Ai sat on the suitcases, looking very proud.

“Of course, you need to be well prepared for traveling.”

"Do we want to take these two with us?" An He looked at Ai on the suitcase, and Amon who was struggling with its tail.

Miyano Shiho also followed his gaze and thought for a while.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with it?"

"Then we'll have to take the train. Pets are not allowed on the Shinkansen or airplanes."

"That's perfect." Miyano Shiho nodded slightly, "I'm also a little tired of seeing those fleeting scenery. A slower speed will make people feel more leisurely."

After packing up, the two of them ate some food near their home and then headed to the train station with the two little ones.

The tickets they booked were similar to the Beidouxing tickets they booked last time, and there was no requirement to prohibit pets from boarding the train.

After getting in the car, Xiao Ai walked around the room curiously, as if she was getting familiar with her new territory.

Amon simply sat down on the table and tasted the fruit plate before everyone else.

After putting everything away, Anhe walked out of the bedroom and saw Miyano Shiho standing in front of the windowsill, looking at the scene slowly passing by outside the window.

"It's still a city landscape now. After the car drives out for a while, you can see some rural scenery." He walked over.

In fact, the scenery in most towns and villages in Japan is not that good. Most of the beautiful scenery is in mountainous areas.

For example, in the previous life, there was a movie called "Your Name", and the Itomori Town in it was a mountain town.

Craters, lakes in the mountains, and shrines of witches.

Due to differences in history and social structure, farming is rarely practiced in rural Japan. Instead, there are more commercial plantations and small handicraft workshops. It is very difficult for farmers to obtain arable land. In this regard, the cost of farming is much greater than that of fishing business.

"It's been a long journey, so how about we play a game, Mr. Miyano?"

An He suggested with a smile.

"What game?" Miyano Shiho was a little curious. What new tricks did this guy with a head full of weird ideas come up with?
“This game involves a little bit of acting, as well as scriptwriting and text skills.”

An He did not keep the audience in suspense and quickly revealed the gameplay of the game: "It's a bit like role-playing. We pretend that we don't know each other, but are just two strangers who met by chance during the journey." "You can freely make up your own character background and settings, but stop at a certain point. When either party says a unique title like 'Awa-kun' or 'Miyano-sensei', the game will pause. How about that?"

"Your mind is really full of weird ideas." Miyano Shiho couldn't help but look at him strangely.

"Don't you want to play?"

"I'm casual."

"Then I'll give you two minutes to create a fictional identity for yourself. For the genius Mr. Miyano, this amount of time should be more than enough, right?"

Miyano Shiho did not answer, and it seemed that she was already thinking about how to complete the logic of "traveling alone".

"Speaking of which." She still couldn't help but said, "No matter how coincidental it is, it's impossible for this kind of encounter to happen, right? We bought the suite ticket together."

"Just ignore this kind of loophole that can't be solved." An He obviously hadn't figured out how to make this point reasonable, "After all, it's just a game."

After a while, he asked again: "Are you ready?"

no respond.

An He thought she had already entered the state, so he also immersed himself in the play.

The character he chose for himself was an art student who failed the art exam and was feeling disheartened. He chose to travel around to heal his pain.

Coincidentally, he met a perfect Miss Venus on this train.

Although she looked very cold, as if she could keep people at a distance, An He still mustered up the courage to speak up and wanted to have some concrete contact with her.

"Hello, can I draw a picture for you?" He forced out a smile that had not been so bright since he failed the exam, for fear of leaving a bad impression on this symbol of beauty.

Miyano Shiho didn't even look at him, just stared out the window.

An He reluctantly chose to pause: "Mr. Miyano, if you don't reply, it will be hard to continue the game in an interesting way."

After hearing the stop word, Miyano Shiho finally turned around.

"Do you think I'm the type to respond to flirtatious men you don't know?"

"That's true, but this is a game now."

"Even though it's a game, I still have to say that Awa-kun's pick-up skills are really bad." She raised her chin disdainfully, revealing her smooth snow-white neck.

"There's no other way. Let's make it easier for Mr. Clumsy and Frivolous."

The game continues.

Miyano Shiho tilted her head very slightly, as if she finally responded to An He's words: "If you are not as good as Monet or Van Gogh, then don't ask me to be your model."

"The requirements are really high." An He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It seems that I don't have this honor. After all, I didn't even pass this year's art exam."

"You can't even pass the art exam, but you dare to ask out a woman you met on the train. I have to say you are quite courageous. Aren't you afraid that your drawing will not satisfy others but instead appear offensive?"

"We have to try anyway." An He smiled casually, "Life is already so bad, so we are not afraid of it getting worse."

"Maybe it will hit bottom and rebound?" Miyano Shiho asked the next sentence first.

An He nodded.

"You have such a high-handed idea, thinking that life can't get any worse." Miyano Shiho brushed away the hair that was blown to her lips by the wind and said calmly, "I haven't said anything mean in a long time. You should be thankful that I can make an exception to this extent."

"It sounds weird, but maybe I should be happy?" An He didn't know whether he should laugh or not. He couldn't quite tell whether this was a humorous joke or not.

So he changed the subject.

"I don't know the name of this beautiful lady yet. Are you traveling alone?"

"Just call me 'Miss Mystery'." Miyano Shiho casually pulled out an English name that didn't have much sincerity. "As for the second question, I'm traveling with my lover."

An He pulled the corner of his mouth bitterly.

"Where is your gentleman now?"

"Dead." Miyano Shiho said concisely, without showing any sadness, but instead a hint of indescribable joy.

"I'm talking to Mr. Miyano." An He lost interest in the drama and couldn't help but say, "We can't continue this conversation."

He is both married and widowed, and his buffs are stacked up. He has to invent a living succubus to make the game go on "reasonably".

"Then I'll modify it." Miyano Shiho didn't think there was a problem at all, but since Awa-kun was so determined to play this game, she would just play with him for a while.

The game continues again.

"Where is your gentleman now?"

"separated."

"Divorced but still traveling together?!" An He almost choked. After coughing a few times, he calmed down and said, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why?"

Miyano Shiho stared at him with resentment in her eyes: "Because he didn't squeeze the toothpaste from the end this morning, I abandoned him. To put it more seriously, it was a one-sided abandonment."

"." An He was defeated and sighed, "Okay, I'll remember it next time."

The woman is still thinking about this matter.

Miyano Shiho nodded with satisfaction and looked very happy. The wind blew in from the window and she squinted her eyes comfortably.

“This game doesn’t really make any sense.”

She spoke softly, with a hint of ambiguity.

“You don’t have to go to great lengths to find interesting ‘personalities’ and ‘first encounters’. People who love each other will eventually fall in love with each other, just like magnets. Even if they are as far apart as the north and south poles, the magnetic field that exists will still make them feel the urge to go to each other.”

"People are like puzzles. Every piece is meant to fit the right person. If it weren't for Awa, I might have met someone who was acceptable and compatible with me one day, or I might have lived my whole life alone and devoted everything to science."

"But Awa-kun showed up."

“Similar puzzle pieces can be forced to fit together, but the only match made in heaven cannot be replaced. When he appears, it is like the sun appearing in the sky, and all the stars around him disappear.”

“Only those who see the sun will know that it is an overbearing feeling that only he can control.”

She turned her head and looked at An He, her lake blue eyes sparkling, and she giggled.

"Awa-kun, you can't run away, and neither can I."

"When you lay on my lab table and spoke to me for the first time, the gears of fate began to turn, and one day in the future there will be an echo."

To this day, she still remembers the first words Awa-kun said to her.

[Your instructor must have made you memorize the laboratory code of conduct many times. ]
