The world of science is unscientific

Yusuke Suzuki crouched down to take a look, but didn't recognize her. "Let's stop here and go back to the village."

Although the three boys still had some regrets, they dared not say no.

It's okay, the village is just as fun anyway.

As soon as the group returned to the place where they had entered the forest, it began to get dark.

Yusuke Suzuki looked down at Conan; the timing was off again.

Conan: "???"

"Let's go back, it should be almost time to eat."

Yusuke Suzuki was too lazy to say anything about Conan, since if anything, this was Aoyama's fault.

Upon hearing the word "eat," Genta immediately exclaimed, "Yay!"

As soon as I reached the doorway, the enticing aroma of food wafted out.

Go inside.

The tourists sat separately, and three hanging pots were displayed in the main hall.

This has a very traditional feel.

"Yusuke-nii, you're back!" Ran Mouri said with a smile when she saw the figure at the door. "The timing is perfect."

ten minutes later.

Everyone sat down, and Genta raised one hand high, looking excited, "I want a portion for two!"

Mrs. Nagakura was a gentle, middle-aged woman nearing fifty. She smiled and nodded, then asked, "Does anyone else have any requests?"

After a mental struggle, Yusuke Suzuki silently raised his hand, "Um... please give me three servings."

I feel inexplicably embarrassed...

However, three servings is already the minimum requirement; any less and he might have to go out for a late-night snack.

Fortunately, Mrs. Nagakura simply nodded and left.

However, Kogoro Mouri spoke up, "Yusuke, you're eating more and more these days."

"You're not bad either, five plates of curry rice shouldn't be your limit, right?"

"Well, I still can't compare to you, after all, you ate eight plates."

"Back when you competed against Heiji in the eating contest, you ate a full eleven bowls of ramen. Teacher, please don't be modest anymore."

The master and apprentice exchanged a few words, seemingly full of tension, but in reality, both parties were just having fun.

In no time at all, the food was ready.

The main dishes were braised lion's head meatballs in hot pot and grilled fish.

The fish was very fresh, about the size of a child's forearm, and had its head and tail intact. It was grilled over an open flame and smelled delicious.

Lion's head hot pot also has a unique flavor due to the ingredients themselves.

It's still autumn, and the damp chill in the mountains is inevitable. But now, as we sit around eating, with the fire burning in the middle, warmth flows freely through our bodies.

Very comfortable.

After thinking for a moment, Yusuke Suzuki decided to try and see if he could swallow a fish whole.

Just then, Ai Haibara, who was standing next to him, turned her head to give him the lion's head meatball.

Eyes facing each other.

Yusuke Suzuki hadn't yet managed to eat the fish tail outside his mouth.

Unable to hold back, Ai Haibara burst out laughing.

However, with so many people around, the little girl didn't say anything and reached out to help Suzuki Yusuke stuff the fish tail inside.

At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder what if the two of them were alone together now?

Yusuke Suzuki wouldn't feed her the fish tail with his mouth, would he?

After eating, it should be...

Can't think about it!

Chapter 434 Are there really ghosts?

"Ai, why is your face red?"

Ran Mouri, sitting to the side, noticed the change in Ai Haibara's expression.

"It must have been too hot," Ai Haibara said calmly, silently shifting her body back a little. "It's much better now."

Ran Mouri thought it made sense and continued to share her joy of eating delicious food with Conan.

Conan was already numb.

From his perspective, Ai Haibara and Yusuke Suzuki were clearly having a sweet, romantic interaction!

Simply outrageous!

Lawless!

Unscrupulous!

the most important is......

He can't do this with Xiaolan.

Is this the benefit of revealing one's identity?

To be honest, Conan did have a moment of doubt.

However, upon further reflection, he abandoned the idea of ​​confessing to Ran Mouri.

Xiaolan is different from her friends.

Yusuke Suzuki was an insider himself, having come into contact with the Black Organization even earlier than Conan.

Let's just let Xiaolan continue living a normal life.

If this girl finds out about the Black Organization, it's hard to imagine what she might do.

Furthermore, Conan doesn't feel he's ready to reveal his true identity.

Having kept it a secret for so long, how will Ran Mouri's heart change when she suddenly learns the truth? Will she be able to accept it?

Even if Conan gets forgiven, it's a foregone conclusion that he will personally experience the strength of a karate champion.

After all, Ran Mouri once held him while taking a bath...

Conan couldn't help but shudder at the thought of his own miserable end.

Yusuke Suzuki was unaware of all the thoughts swirling in Conan's mind at that moment; he was still struggling with the fish.

How can this stuff taste so good?

As for Kogoro Mouri, he started drinking with the other tourists again.

At this moment, the innkeeper suddenly shouted angrily.

"How dare they post this nonsense! We don't have anything like this here!"

Mrs. Nagakura quickly stopped them, looking apologetically at the tourists present, "We just had something to attend to here."

"What is it?"

Ran Mouri was a little curious.

Conan then pulled out a newspaper from behind him and handed it to her, saying, "Ran-neechan, take a look. This is the article."

Yusuke Suzuki glanced to the side and saw the same rumor about ghosts that had been mentioned when he arrived earlier that day.

Could it be a ghost that gives me that feeling of being spied on?

This idea suddenly popped into his head.

If a magician like Koizumi Akako exists, then it makes perfect sense for a ghost to suddenly appear, right?

Even if you can't see the other person or find any trace of them, you can still get a proper explanation.

Yusuke Suzuki quickly searched his memory for events related to ghosts in the Conan series, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

By the way, if we're really going to talk about it, the settings from Koizumi Akako's side don't hold true for Conan's side, so ghosts shouldn't exist either.

Moreover, why was that ghost looking at him?

Want to possess someone?

But it wouldn't have been that long by now.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri chose to socialize with his friends over drinks, and headed straight for the owner with a bottle in hand.

And you know what? The bumbling detective really managed to ease the tension in no time.

As time went by, the tourists who had finished their meals got up one after another to say goodbye.

“It’s really delicious,” Ran Mouri put down her chopsticks. “Ai, let’s go to sleep too.”

Conan: "..."

Xiaolan used to say the same thing to him.

Ai Haibara, who had already finished eating, stood up and said, "Hmm."

At that moment, Yusuke Suzuki noticed that Genta and Mitsuhiko were whispering to each other, and the two of them thought he couldn't hear them.

"Mitsuhiko, are you going to sleep?"

"How could I? I'm not going to sleep until I find out if the ghost legend is true or not. Let's wait until Yusuke-nii-san has rested before we set off. Genta, you'll probably come with me, right?"

Compared to those two, Ayumi is much braver.

She said without any hesitation, "To be honest, that's why we came here, isn't it, Conan?"

Conan, still kneeling on the ground, looked completely bewildered. "Me?"

Ai Haibara, who had already reached Ran Mouri's side, offered a helping hand, saying, "That's good too, you go ahead, I won't go."
