Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 355 Departure, Enoshima Beach!

".feudal."

Reiko pouted, her rosy cheeks puffing out like a little pufferfish.
She angrily threw the bikini on the bed, but seeing her brother's uncompromising expression, the little girl had no choice but to pout and accept the conservative one-piece swimsuit.

The swimsuit was light blue with a few small white flowers printed on it, which looked very suitable for her age.

"Then at least let me wear this seashell necklace, okay?" Lingzi, unwilling to give up, pulled out another sparkling piece of jewelry from the drawer.

Lin Xiuyi sighed helplessly and reached out to ruffle his sister's hair: "Okay."

Lingzi immediately beamed with joy, like a kitten that had stolen a fish, and couldn't wait to hang the necklace around her neck.

After the brother and sister packed their things and went downstairs, they soon met up with the others, who also brought their luggage.

Besides Hayashi Hideichi and his sister, Eri Kisaki, Yukiko, Midori Orikasa, and Kogoro Mouri,
Since it was an event at an izakaya (Japanese pub), Akane Koizumi, who had been setting up a fortune-telling stall at the izakaya entrance for the past two days and was now considered a member of the izakaya community, naturally couldn't miss it.

Her fortune-telling stall was doing extremely well. Just two days ago, she was complaining to Lin Xiuyi about being poor, but after running the fortune-telling stall for two days, she became rich again.

Today, Akane Koizumi wore a bohemian-style long dress, and the silver bracelet on her wrist sparkled in the sunlight.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's..."

Before Lin Xiuyi could finish speaking, the door of the izakaya was suddenly pushed open.

Chikage Tomizawa walked in, pulling her suitcase with an air of confidence, wearing high heels.

Behind her, Chengshi, carrying a small schoolbag, timidly peeked out.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xiuyi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Didn't we say we were going to the beach?" Tomizawa Chikage snorted, her red lips curving upwards slightly. "What, can't we go together?"

"No, it's at the hospital," Lin Xiu asked instinctively, her gaze unconsciously falling on her abdomen.

“I was just discharged from the hospital,” Tomizawa Chikage patted her lower abdomen where she had been shot. “My injury is completely healed. If you’re worried, how about I lift up my shirt so you can see clearly?”

She pretended to lift the corner of her clothes, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous light.

Seeing that Tomizawa Chikage was really about to lift up her short sleeves, Lin Xiuyi quickly waved his hand: "Alright, I know you've recovered, but what about Narumi? Is he alright?"

"Don't worry, I've already asked the doctor," Tomizawa Chikage said with a smile, reaching out to ruffle Shiro's hair.

The little boy lowered his head shyly, his fingers gripping the strap of his schoolbag tightly.

"After treatment, Narumi's health has improved a lot recently. Going to the beach is no problem at all, right, Narumi?"

Tomizawa Chikage looked at the little boy beside her, only to see that the little guy suddenly froze and his face turned a little pale.

He was looking at Akane Koizumi with a nervous and frightened expression, his small body unconsciously shrinking behind Chikage Tomizawa.

Last week, this red-haired ghost sister stuck out her tongue to taste Brother Xiu Yi in the hospital room and even tried to eat him alive, which terrified the little guy.

Narumi never expected to see this ghostly older sister again here, and she immediately became frightened, clutching Tomizawa Chikage's clothes tightly with her little hands.

Akane Koizumi's expression became somewhat unnatural upon seeing Narumi.

She lowered her head slightly, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

Hearing Tomizawa Chikage ask her, Narumi quickly hid behind her and whispered, "Chikage-neechan, that red-haired lady, is she the one from last time?"

The little one whispered the reason for her fear, and Tomizawa Chikage looked up and glanced at Koizumi Akane.

She's really pretty; no wonder she managed to hook up with that womanizer Lin Xiuyi...

“Alright, it’s probably just a resemblance,” Tomizawa Chikage gently patted the little boy’s head. “Look, she has a shadow. Usually, ghosts don’t have shadows.” “Is that so?” Narumi asked doubtfully, peeking half his head out from behind Tomizawa Chikage and secretly observing Koizumi Akane not far away.

Although Chikage Tomizawa assured her that Akane Koizumi was not a ghost, Narumi still subconsciously avoided the red-haired older sister.

Whenever Akane Koizumi's gaze swept over him, he would immediately hide behind the nearest person.

Since the two of them had already arrived, Lin Xiuyi naturally couldn't refuse.

He looked around to make sure everyone was there, then clapped his hands: "Everyone's here, let's head to the station, Furuya's still waiting there."

When everyone goes out to play, they naturally can't leave out Lin Xiuyi's cheap apprentice, Furuya Rei.

This kid is usually all alone, so it's a good opportunity to bring him along and have some fun together.

At Mihana Station, Rei Furuya's expression was somewhat awkward upon seeing Narumi.

After all, this was his first love. Although Rei Furuya immediately gave up on the relationship after learning that Narumi was a boy, he couldn't forget the feelings he had before so easily.

He nervously adjusted the backpack straps, his gaze shifting uncertainly.

Narumi didn't seem to care much. He jogged over to Furuya Rei's side, his little yellow backpack bouncing behind him.

"Brother Zero!"

He tilted his little face up and chattered about what he had seen and heard along the way, his little hand naturally tugging at Furuya Rei's clothes.

Soon, Furuya Rei forgot his earlier embarrassment and started joking with him.

Although Enoshima Beach is not far from Tokyo, because the group set off so late, it was almost 8 p.m. when they arrived.

As night fell completely, the stars began to twinkle in the sky.

The sound of the waves grew louder as they approached, carrying a salty, damp scent.

"Ah, how refreshing!"

Yukiko dropped her suitcase and ran quickly towards the beach like a happy little deer.

"Yukiko-neechan, wait for me!" Reiko cheered and chased after her, her seashell necklace sparkling in the moonlight.

Her little feet trod on the soft sand, leaving a trail of joyful footprints.

"Senior Koizumi," Midori Orikasa said, pulling Akane Koizumi along as they quickly caught up.

“Let’s go too,” Chikage Tomizawa said, glancing at Eri Kisaki. “We can leave the luggage to these men.”

As they spoke, the two girls walked towards the beach.

"Nari and I aren't men yet..."

Rei Furuya tried to slip away, but Shuichi Hayashi grabbed him by the collar.

"Get to work! With so much luggage, how are Kogoro and I supposed to get it to the hotel by ourselves?"

"Yes!" Furuya Rei replied dejectedly.

Chengshi covered her mouth and chuckled, then obediently stepped forward and helped pick up a small suitcase.

"Liuli should have arrived by now, right?"

Kogoro Mouri looked around absentmindedly, his fingers constantly adjusting his collar, clearly very concerned about his appearance.
