Conan: Naruto

"Get out of the way!"

Machida Hiroshi casually threw the crossbow on the wooden box, turned around, pushed Mori Kogoro away, put his hands in his pockets, and left the warehouse with a displeased expression on his face.

--------

after a while.

Near the villa, there is a large open-air hot spring.

"It's... really comfortable..."

Mori Kogoro stood in the hot spring, with his hands resting on two rocks behind him, his back leaning against the rocks, and a folded white towel covering his head, feeling very comfortable.

He raised his head slightly to look at the blue sky, and said hesitantly:

"There seems to be something missing..."

Mori Kogoro thought for a moment, then looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi not far to the right with a smirk.

Standing in the hot spring wearing only a pair of boxer trunks, Shinichi only had his head above his chin stick out of the water.

He was keenly aware of Kogoro's strange gaze, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he said to himself in a very low voice:

"I have a bad feeling..."

Dongfang Haoyue, who was wearing Kudo Shinichi's swimming trunks, stood on the right side of Shinichi, with his head above the neck above the water, turned his head to look at Shinichi, and echoed in a weak voice:

"Me too......"

--------

Mori Kogoro parked in the car near the villa.

3 minutes later.

"Detective Maori is too disgusting, if he wants to drink, he can get it himself!"

Dongfang Haoyue squatted in the trunk of the car with the door open, constantly searching for the blue travel bag that had been unzipped.

"That's right!

It's too much for Maori detectives to use children as servants! "

Kudo Shinichi squatted on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue, constantly searching for the unzipped brown travel bag.

After six seconds.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Xinyi held a can of beer in each hand, stood up, jumped out of the car, and were about to return to the hot spring, when out of the corner of their eyes, they accidentally spotted...

Farther in front of them on the left, Machida Hiroshi and Machida Noriko stood in a lush grove, seemingly having an argument.

--------

Near the villa, there is a large open-air hot spring.

3 minutes later.

"Enjoyed!!"

Mori Kogoro took a swig from the beer can in his left hand and was very happy.

"Humph......"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi sat side by side on the steps closest to the hot spring, their feet dangling in the water, their hands placed between their spread legs, and they looked at Kogoro expressionlessly.

"Hey, Maori Detective!"

Machida Yasushi held the sketchbook under his right arm, walked down the steps leading to the hot spring, stopped at the right rear of Dongfang Haoyue, looked at Mori Kogoro, and asked with a hearty smile:

"Isn't the hot spring feeling great~?"

"It's so good, it's too good to say!"

Mori Kogoro looked at Machida Yasushi at the upper right, and raised his right hand with a happy smile.

"As long as you like it!"

Machida Yasushi smiled happily, and said goodbye politely:

"I have something to do, excuse me first."

"So suddenly?"

Mori Kogoro looked at Machida Yasushi in surprise.

Yasushi Machida spread out his sketchbook in front of Kogoro, and explained with a hearty smile:

"Although I have been here for ten days, my sketchbook is still blank.

So... I am going to draw some red-crowned cranes at the feeding ground of the red-crowned cranes. You can continue to soak in the hot springs and leave me alone. "

Machida Bao closed the sketchbook, turned around and wanted to leave, but the sketchbook accidentally dropped from his hand, and Dongfang Haoyue, who reacted quickly, accurately caught it in his hand.

"Here you~"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at Machida Bao, and handed out the sketchbook with a smile.

"Ha, thank you~

Oh, yes! "

Machida Bao knelt down, looked at Dongfang Haoyue, happily took the sketchbook, looked at Mori Kogoro, and said kindly:

"I will receive the lawyer at five o'clock in the afternoon, you can stay in the hot spring and enjoy slowly~"

"Okay, then we'll be impolite, hahaha!"

Mori Kogoro laughed heartily.

dusk.

"father!"

Xiaolan, who changed into normal clothes, stood above the steps of the hot spring, looked at Kogoro Mouri who was constantly swimming in the hot spring, and reminded angrily:

"How long are you going to soak!!"

"Uncle hurry up!!"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi who had changed into regular clothes stood behind Xiaolan on the right, looking at Kogoro Mori angrily.

"It's still early, let me soak for a while."

Mori Kogoro swam by himself.

Xiaolan pressed the backs of her hands against her waist on both sides, and said angrily:

"If you get dizzy...I don't care!"

suddenly!

"Buzz!"

It's the roar of a car's engine.

The three of Xiaolan were taken aback for a moment, then quickly regained their senses, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found...

Machida Hiroshi drove a car into the distance alone, his cheeks were covered with sweat, and his face was tense.

"Mr. Ah Hao?"

Xiaolan guessed in bewilderment:

"He's going back to Tokyo?"

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi didn't say a word, their expressions were solemn.

after a while.

"Oh... my head is so dizzy..."

Mori Kogoro sat on the rock next to the hot spring with a flushed face and a weak body.

Xiao Lan stood on the right side of Xiao Goro, fanned Xiao Goro with a big white towel, and complained angrily:

"Really... Dad insists on soaking in hot springs all the time, it's better now!"

"I feel so bad..."

Mori Kogoro has a hoarse voice.

Kudo Shinichi, standing behind Xiaolan on the right, looked at Kogoro, and complained in a low voice with a speechless face:

"Soaking in hot springs for more than two hours in a row, and even drinking four cans of beer, who is uncomfortable if you don't...?"

"Hey, Conan, it's Yasushi Machida."

Dongfang Haoyue noticed Machida Yasushi coming from a distance, turned around, and poked Kudo Shinichi's ribs in the waist.

Shinichi was taken aback for a moment, turned around, and followed Haoyue's line of sight to look at Machida Bao.

Machida Yasushi walked between Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, looked at Mori Kogoro, and said with friendly concern:

"Detective Maori, are you alright?"

"Ah... my dad is just a little dizzy and can't speak for a while.

By the way~! "

Xiaolan turned around, put the towel in front of her with both hands, looked at Machida Yasushi with a smile, and asked curiously:

"Did you draw a red-crowned crane just now~?"

"Yes, it's all in the sketchbook."

Yasushi Machida unfolded the sketchbook and showed the drawings page by page in front of the three of Xiaolan.

"You draw really well~"

Looking at the exquisite sketches of red-crowned cranes, Xiaolan sincerely admired:

"The painter is really extraordinary~!"

"Ok?"

With his hands in his pockets, Kudo Shinichi looked at the red-crowned crane with a black tail sleeping in the downwind direction in the sketch, and let out a small, imperceptible cry.

Dongfang Haoyue, who carefully observed the sketches, looked at Xinyi with a confused face, and thought in her heart in bewilderment:

"Based on what I know about Shinichi... Shinichi must have noticed something unusual about the sketch, but...

What's wrong with Machida Yasushi's sketch...?

I can't see it...! "
