People are in Conan, but the Shura field

He... seems to be different from before. In the past, after Shinichi solved a case, he would talk to her about the process for a long time.

But this time, he actually saw that she wanted to watch the fireworks and offered to go with her.

Although I was a little touched.

"But the fireworks display is over." Xiaolan showed Chen Nuo the time on her mobile phone.

Chen Nuo scratched his head. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

In order to catch the miners, Xiaolan was unable to see the fireworks, and Kisaki Eri did not charge any fees when she accepted the commission.

Chen Nuo suddenly felt a little guilty. He thought for a moment and said:

"It's okay. I know another place where you can see fireworks. They're very special fireworks."

Chapter 10: Encounter at the Shrine is a Shura Field

Chen Nuo and Xiaolan walked side by side on the path in the mountains.

The faint chirping of insects, the fresh scent of grass, and the quiet moonlight shining on the ground combine together to make people feel like returning to nature.

The girl's bare feet stepped on the clogs, tapping the ground rhythmically, making a crisp sound.

The road was very narrow, so Chen Nuo and Xiaolan were very close to each other.

The pleasant scent of her body kept entering his nose, and her soft long hair would sometimes be blown up by the wind, gently scratching his face.

But Xiaolan didn't seem to notice this.

She stared at the ground intently, as if she was thinking about some serious problem.

Because this path is the only way to the "special fireworks venue", many couples in yukatas pass by them along the way.

Every time this happened, Chen Nuo was forced to squeeze together with Xiaolan's body, and feel the touch of the soft fabric of her bathrobe at a closer distance.

Once I accidentally touched a marshmallow.

Although it only touched and separated.

But the immature shape still made Chen Nuo linger on it for a long time.

Following the route they had inquired about, the two soon found a stream halfway up the mountain.

The moonlight reflected bright silver light on the water. The stream was shallow and the water was clear enough to see the pebbles and small fish at the bottom.

The sky full of fireflies flying above the stream is as beautiful as blooming fireworks.

"How did you know this place?" Xiaolan looked at him with her beautiful eyes that seemed to hide the Milky Way. The smile at the corners of her lips showed that she was obviously very satisfied with this surprise.

Chen Nuo: "I just heard those little girls eating marshmallows say that."

When Xiaolan heard the word marshmallow, she immediately remembered the accident that had just happened and her face turned red again.

She looked around again and thought, this current environment seems to be more suitable for doing that kind of thing?

If he asks for a kiss, should you agree?

Xiaolan's face became redder and redder, and even the thought of the word "kiss" made her little heart beat wildly.

Chen Nuo: "Let's move forward."

"Ah... okay, okay." Xiaolan was startled.

She lowered her head and looked at her toes, thinking constantly about the question about kissing, feeling a little scared, but more of anticipation.

Then the two of them walked upstream along the stream.

After all, Xiaolan is still a girl, and she soon started playing like a kindergarten kid who got a new toy.

She would chase fireflies, puff up her cheeks and look at the fireflies floating in front of her eyes, and sometimes she would hold the fireflies in her hands and watch the light move slowly in her white palms.

That cautious look will arouse a strong desire to protect.

So cute and gentle, just like the heroine in a comic book.

"I want to play in the stream. Do you want to come with me, Mr. Daimon?" Xiaolan had had enough of playing with fireflies and ran over to say to him.

Chen Nuo: "I'll wait for you on the shore."

"Okay, then please help me get my shoes."

As she spoke, she took off her clogs and handed them to Chen Nuo, then walked barefoot into the stream.

The stream is not deep, only reaching Xiaolan's ankles.

The moonlight passed through the water and shone on her white and soft bare feet as she stepped on the pebbles, as if adding a charming filter to her soft little feet.

Xiaolan walked in the stream holding the hem of her yukata, and sometimes she would deliberately kick her feet out of the water, creating a string of waves.

Chen Nuo followed along the shore, carrying a pair of clogs in one hand.

After walking for a while, a firefly that was tired of flying landed on his nose. Chen Nuo shook his head a few times and blew a few times, but failed to drive it away.

Chen Nuo had no choice but to reach out and flick it away.

But he forgot that he was still holding Xiaolan's shoes in his hand.

So while chasing away the fireflies, the shoe that still retained the girl's body temperature accidentally hit her face.

A special fragrance entered Chen Nuo's nose.

"What are you doing?"

He looked back and saw Xiaolan standing in the stream with an incredible expression on her face.

.

Xiaolan might be worried that if she didn't get out of the water, she might slip when she put on her shoes.

So she quickly got ashore, put on her shoes with a red face, and ran forward without looking back.

Chen Nuo followed her, and the two returned along the same route.

During the process, Chen Nuo explained several times that he just wanted to drive away the bugs.

Although Xiaolan smiled to show her understanding, the suspicion on her face never disappeared.

The two then went to the shrine on the mountain to pray.

This shrine is obviously quite old, with the walls covered with traces of time, but it covers a large area and has many side halls in addition to the main hall.

When you pass through the red torii gate, you can immediately feel a strong sense of mystery.

It's like a fox demon could pop out from the corner and talk to you at any time.

Xiaolan also said that the fortune sticks here are very effective. I wonder if it is a publicity stunt.

Come to the main hall.

Xiaolan wrote her wish on a piece of paper with a pious look on her face, and then after going through a tedious process, she put the wish paper into an amulet bag.

Chen Nuo didn't quite believe in this thing, so he acted a little perfunctorily.

"No, Mr. Daimon has someone he wants to protect, right? Even if it's for an important person, you have to be pious in your heart, then the amulet will be effective." Xiaolan looked at him seriously.

Chen Nuo had no choice. After all, he had just been misunderstood and done something strange, so he still felt a little guilty.

So he also pretended to pray seriously.

Xiaolan's prayer paper contained content about her parents living in harmony.

Chen Nuo originally wanted to write a prayer on a piece of paper asking the gods to help him kill Gin and get rid of that troublesome woman Shirley at the same time.

However, I was worried about the risk of leaks, so I thought about it and decided to give up.

Although this shrine has been in disrepair for many years, it is still quite spacious and there is an area outside for tourists to rest.

After he and Xiaolan came out of the main hall for praying, they went to the edge of the side hall to rest.

A cat was sleeping on the edge of the room. When it heard someone approaching, it looked up at the two people and then continued to sleep.

Chen Nuo and Xiaolan sat down where they would not disturb the cat's sleep.

Xiaolan took off her shoes, put her heels on the edge of the edge, and rubbed the soles of her feet with her hands.

It's no wonder. Walking in clogs is tiring, and he took Xiaolan through a lot of mountain roads. She must have been exhausted a long time ago, right?

Two shallow red marks had been rubbed out on the snow-white instep, and the soft little feet were squeezed into various shapes in her hands.

Is this really a foot that can break concrete poles? It feels a little unreal, Chen Nuo complained in his heart.

"Does it look good?" Xiaolan asked suddenly, lowering her head.

Chen Nuo: “What?”

"The moon." Xiaolan raised her head and looked up at the sky.

"Ah...it's pretty." Chen Nuo answered subconsciously, then followed her gaze to look up at the sky.

But at this time there happened to be a dark cloud covering their heads, and there was no moon in the sky.

"Compared to Ms. Miyano's, whose is better?" Xiaolan inadvertently raised another fatal question.

She stretched out her legs, her fair calves emerged from under her yukata, and her toes, with wooden clogs hanging on them, swayed gently in the air twice.

Chen Nuo scratched his head and changed the subject, "This amulet is really not cheap. One costs me two weeks' worth of food expenses."

Xiaolan gave him a resentful look, but didn't ask any further questions to embarrass him.

"You must keep it carefully. I heard that although the shrine here is dilapidated, it is very spiritual," she advised.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "I know. I don't take it off when I take a shower."

"That won't work. It won't work if it gets wet."

Xiaolan explained to him seriously how to wear the amulet and what precautions to take.

At this time, a couple passed through the torii at the entrance of the shrine, and it seemed that they were also going to the main hall to pray.

The two of them were arguing as they walked.

The argument seemed to be about the girl saying she wanted to go to the island of Ryomoto for fun, but her boyfriend thought going to the sea was too troublesome and chose the Tenkaichi Night Festival which was closer to home.

"Ryomoto Island, I've heard of it too. It seems like a lot of people are going there recently." Xiaolan whispered as she looked at the couple's backs.

"You seem to be very familiar with this."

Xiaolan blinked her eyes: "Girls are all like this, isn't Miss Miyano the same?"

Chen Nuo said awkwardly: "She seems to be quite special and likes some weird things."

Likes to research strange medicines for her boyfriend.

"I see." Xiaolan didn't dwell on this topic for too long. She curled her legs together again and buried her chin between her legs: "I also want to go to Ryomoto Island."

There was another awkward silence.

Xiaolan finally realized that her words seemed to hint at something. She quickly explained, "No, that's not what I meant. In fact, it's great to be here and to be with you...ah, that's not what I meant..."

She almost told the truth in her panic. If she confessed her feelings at this time, it would be very strange, right?

Xiaolan pinched the hem of her yukata with her two little hands, hesitating for a long time without explaining clearly.

"If there is a chance, we can go together." Chen Nuo suddenly said.

Xiaolan took her hands away from her face and looked into his eyes in a daze.

.

Miyano Shiho and her sister strolled around the stream filled with fireflies for a long time, and then went to the shrine on the mountain to draw lots and pray for blessings.

The route they chose was almost the same as that of Chen Nuo and his team.

However, because Miyano Shiho set out earlier than them, the side hall they chose to rest in was closer to the inside.

So the two groups did not meet.

After resting for a while, Miyano Shiho and her sister came out of the side hall of the shrine side by side, planning to go back to the hotel where they were staying and buy some midnight snacks on the way.

She had the amulet she had just obtained wrapped around her fingertips, and with her other hand she was holding her sister's arm, humming a cheerful song as she walked.

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "The fortune says that you will meet a guardian angel who can change your destiny soon. You must keep your eyes open and don't let him run away."

Miyano Shiho pouted: "I don't need a guardian angel, my sister is enough for me."

When she was drawing lots just now, the lot said that she would meet a guardian angel who could change her destiny recently, and that this would be a major turning point in her life.
