They've already gotten rid of Conan.

I wonder if Ai will ever reappear after this.

After getting off the bus, just as Kotomi and her group were about to part ways with Aragaki Yu and his group.

Miss Kotomi looked at Aragaki Yu again, and while the others weren't paying attention, she secretly gestured and silently mouthed "thank you".

After nodding in acknowledgment, Aragaki Yu left with a completely different feeling than when he arrived.

Wake up, wake up!

Yuu Aragaki shook the dazed Yuki-onna in his pocket, hoping to revive her.

It wasn't until Yuu Aragaki followed Ran and Shinichi out of the mysterious roller coaster area that the Snow Woman finally came to her senses.

She seemed to be drunk, swaying and flying onto Aragaki Yu's shoulder, looking at him with a wronged expression, with tiny ice beads constantly welling up from her eyes.

I feel so wronged.

After receiving a promise from Yuuki Aragaki that he would buy her the most luxurious ice cream to comfort her, the Snow Woman finally recovered somewhat and became happy again.

Because she had been shouting and yelling on the roller coaster for too long, Ran's voice had become a little hoarse. She pulled Shinichi along and suggested to Aragaki Yu, "Aragaki-kun, how about we get some cold drinks?"

Of course, Aragaki Yu wouldn't refuse the suggestion.

It didn't take long for the three of them to find a dessert shop in the park to take a break.

The tables in the restaurant are all two-person tables suitable for couples on dates.

Therefore, Ran and Shinichi sat at the same table.

Yuu Aragaki, holding the super-deluxe Christmas gift in his hand, glanced at the snow woman on his shoulder who was staring longingly at Christmas.

He declined Shinichi's invitation to add a seat at their table and instead sat down at the adjacent table.

As soon as Yuuki Aragaki put the Christmas figure on the table, the Snow Woman pounced on it eagerly.

Looking at the sundae ice cream that was countless times taller than herself, the Snow Woman had already forgotten her grievances from just now.

To avoid being discovered that he hadn't touched the spoon, but the sundae was slowly decreasing.

Yuya Aragaki would occasionally scoop a spoonful of sundae and put it in his mouth.

You know what, it actually tastes pretty good.

……

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom." Shinichi Kudo said, standing up from his seat and walking out of the dessert shop.

At this moment, Ran was drinking juice while reporting her day's itinerary to Sonoko on her phone, complaining about Shinichi's lack of understanding along the way.

Meanwhile, Yuu Aragaki, having perfectly completed his plans from the previous night, was relaxing and enjoying a deluxe sundae with Yuki-onna.

No one noticed that Shinichi Kudo had already left.

Chapter 18: The Unavoidable Plot

"Aragaki-kun, have you seen Shinichi?"

While Aragaki Yu was still gazing fondly at the Yuki-onna lying on the table with her little belly bulging, Ran came to Aragaki Yu's side and asked with a slightly anxious expression.

"Huh! What? No, what happened to Shinichi?" Aragaki Yuu, who had come to his senses, looked at Ran with some confusion.

"It's so strange. Shinichi told me he was going to the bathroom, but it's been almost half an hour and he still hasn't come back..." Ran said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Yu frowned slightly: "Didn't you call his cell phone?"

"I've made several calls, but it's always unanswered," Xiaolan said, showing her phone the dozens of dialed numbers on it.

"Let's go check the restroom. I think the nearest one is around here." Aragaki Yu suddenly had a bad feeling. He hesitated for a moment before suggesting it.

Xiaolan's face was also full of worry, and she nodded in agreement.

Her original intention in coming here was to ask Aragaki Yu to help her look for Kudo Shinichi in the restroom.

……

Sure enough, after walking only a few steps, the two arrived at the entrance of the public restroom.

Without wasting any time, Yuu Aragaki walked into the men's restroom and said to Ran, "Ran, I'll go to the men's restroom to look for him. You go to the women's restroom and see if Kudo-kun is there."

The flustered Xiaolan didn't notice anything amiss, and naturally nodded before rushing into the women's restroom.

When she ran into the women's restroom and saw the many women inside, she suddenly felt a little lost.

Xiaolan: "..."

How could Shinichi be here!?

It's not like I'm a pervert.

The toilet wasn't very big, and it didn't take long for Aragaki Yu to have searched every nook and cranny.

They even targeted the water storage tank.

As he walked out of the men's restroom, Aragaki Yu shook his head slightly at Ran, who was already outside.

As expected, Shinichi Kudo was still missing.

Although he prevented the roller coaster murder from happening.

Because of her involvement, Shinichi Kudo and the members of the Black Organization were prevented from riding the same roller coaster.

But ultimately, it can't change the most fundamental events in this world.

How could the world of Detective Conan not include Conan?

Aragaki Yu had a rough idea in his mind.

It's likely that Shinichi Kudo saw Gin and vodka on his way to the toilet or while he was using the toilet.

Feeling that Gin and Vodka didn't look like good people, I secretly followed them for a while and then discovered their clandestine dealings.

The result was just like in the original story.

During the process of taking photos as evidence, he was discovered by Gin, who knocked him unconscious from behind with a club and forced him to drink a specially made poison.

The last pill failed to kill the stubborn high school detective; it merely shrunk him into that of an elementary school student.

"Damn it! Shinichi! Where did he go?!" Ran muttered under her breath as she complained about Shinichi, but the anxiety on her face became increasingly obvious.

"Don't worry, Ran. How about this, let's split up and search. If we find anything, we'll call them!" Aragaki Yu suggested again.

He planned to verify his conjecture and also wanted to witness the legendary scene.

However, it is obvious that Xiaolan cannot be brought along during this process.

Without giving it much thought, Ran nodded noncommittally and ran off in one direction, while simultaneously taking out her phone to continue dialing Shinichi's number.

Watching Ran's departing figure, Aragaki Yu shook the Yuki-onna who had been watching the scene unfold from his pocket and asked softly, "Yuki-onna? Can she find Shinichi Kudo?"

The Snow Woman flew out of Aragaki Yu's pocket, floated into the air, closed her eyes, and used her spiritual power to sense things.

After a long while, the Snow Woman nodded and said softly, "I can sense a little bit of his remaining aura, but it's not very clear."

“Take me to him!” Aragaki Yu said to the Snow Woman.

The snow woman nodded, said nothing more, turned around and flew off in one direction.

Yuu Aragaki followed the Snow Woman, going around in circles, even going in several different directions.

However, Yuya Aragaki could sense that they were gradually approaching the outer perimeter of Dorobiga Paradise.

The number of tourists around him was decreasing, and it was quite obvious that Shinichi Kudo must have been knocked unconscious in this area.

Sparsely populated areas are definitely good places for Gin and his group to conduct their transactions.

Worried that Gin and Vodka might still be nearby, Yuki-onna, under Yu's arrangement, also became extremely vigilant and went ahead to keep an eye out for any dangerous people around her.

After the snow woman confirmed that it was safe nearby, Aragaki Yutaka continued to follow her deeper into the area.

"Shinichi Kudo should be inside!" Finally, led by the Yuki-onna, Aragaki Yu stopped at the entrance of a dark and inconspicuous alley. The Yuki-onna pointed into the alley and confirmed with Aragaki Yu.

Just in case, Yuu Aragaki let Yuki-onna lead the way, while he followed her into the alley at a slightly slower pace.

At this time, the Snow Woman, who is invisible to others, plays a crucial role.

Even if it has little combat ability, it is definitely a good tool for scouting.

After walking in the alley for only a few minutes, with a gasp from the Snow Woman, Yuya Aragaki saw a famous scene from the world of Detective Conan.

On the grass ahead lay a child, about seven or eight years old, dressed in adult clothes.

And that outfit was clearly the same one Shinichi had worn before.

After some thought, Yuu Aragaki decided that it was best not to become the one who discovered this incident.

After all, if she had found Shinichi after he shrunk, such a coincidence would more or less arouse Shinichi's suspicion.

After hesitating for a while, Yuu Aragaki took out a hat from his backpack, covered his face, reported to a nearby patrolman that he had found someone collapsed not far away, and then quietly slipped away.

Yuu Aragaki knew that what followed would likely be a development similar to the original drama.

The shrunken version of Shinichi Kudo was woken up after being discovered by patrol officers. He looked around blankly, only to find that the man in black had disappeared.

Then, Shinichi Kudo realized he had shrunk, and in a panic, he took advantage of the patrol officers' inattention to escape home.
