Conan: Naruto

"Liu Shui Pavilion?"

Officer Megure straightened up and looked at Xiaolan and then at Mouri Kogoro in confusion.

Xiaolan gradually regained her composure, looked at Mumu peacefully, and introduced with a gentle smile:

"It's that restaurant that's been very popular recently. They serve their customers in a unique and special way~!"

"Oh, after hearing what you said, I remembered it!

It was a restaurant that was very popular some time ago. It is said that... they use the clear pool water surrounding the private rooms to serve food to the guests.

No wonder you took the tram tonight to go to that restaurant for dinner. "

Officer Memu looked at Xiaolan with a sudden realization, and suggested with a hearty smile:

"This time it can be considered that our police have delayed your time. How about I send someone to take you to Liushui Pavilion?"

"what?

A ride in a police car to a restaurant...? "

Xiaolan stared blankly at Officer Mu Mu, and suddenly came to her senses when the restaurant staff in a rough fantasy saw the strange look in Xiaolan's eyes when her family stepped out of the police car.

Xiaolan hurriedly blocked her chest with both hands and declined in panic:

"No, no need to trouble Officer Megure!!"

"We can just take a taxi there."

Mouri Kogoro slowly crossed his left wrist across his chest, looked down at his watch, and calmly guessed:

"It's 25:[-] now. This place is not far from Liushui Pavilion. We should have time to take a taxi there."

"Great, it turns out it's only 25:[-], then we will definitely be in time!"

Xiaolan looked at Mouri Kogoro, a happy smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Let's leave quickly~~~"

Dongfang Haoyue, who finally regained consciousness and completely dissipated her blush, pulled Kudo Shinichi to his feet, walked to the left of Officer Megure with small steps, and turned to look at Xiaolan and Mouri Kogoro.

Haoyue smiled happily and held Shinichi's little hand, raised it high, and shouted happily:

"Come on~~~!"

"Come on~~~!"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Dongfang Haoyue with joy, a bright smile blooming on his handsome face.

--------

Some time later, at 31:[-] p.m.

The lobby of the classic and elegant Liushuiting restaurant.

"Xiaolan, how did you book the time...?"

Mouri Kogoro sat on the red bench with his back to the wall, his left wrist across his chest, his head slightly lowered, his eyes narrowed at the watch, and he complained slightly sadly:

"I originally thought that after spending so much time on the case, I might not be able to get to Liushui Pavilion in time. Who would have thought that I would have to wait for a while now..."

"Then what can be done~?"

Xiaolan sat on the right side of Mouri Kogoro, with her hands on her legs together, looking at Kogoro playfully, and said coquettishly with a bright smile:

"Liushui Pavilion is so popular that other dining times are booked in advance. I only got a later time!"

"Okay, okay, anyway, Liushui Pavilion is very close to Rimai TV Station, so having a meal shouldn't affect the TV show I will participate in at eight o'clock tonight."

Mouri Kogoro put his left leg on his right leg, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Xiaolan smugly.

Xiaolan held her forehead with one hand, speechless.

During this period.

Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting on the right side of Xiaolan, jumped off the bench while dragging Dongfang Haoyue.

Xinyi and Haoyue walked towards the mahogany bridge far ahead, leading to the interior of a classical building consisting of eight guest rooms in a square shape and surrounded by water, and stopped leisurely in the middle of the bridge.

They turned to the left, put their hands on the handrails of the bridge, and unexpectedly discovered...

A small wooden boat with a red umbrella leaning in the center poked its head out from the corner of the outer wall of the classical building.

It stepped on the clear water and drove straight to the kitchen far in front of Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi.

When the wooden boat stopped on the water below the open window of the kitchen, an elderly man wearing a white chef's uniform and a white chef's hat placed several bottles of sake on the deck of the wooden boat.

Another young man dressed in the same style pressed an electronic switch on the wall in the kitchen, causing the boat to float along the water to the left-right movable wooden floor-to-ceiling windows of the guest room.

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the boat that was about to pass under the bridge, and analyzed with sudden enlightenment:

"It turns out that Liusui Ting uses electronic remote control to control boats to float through the clear water around the guest rooms to deliver food. No wonder so many people come to eat."

"Well, most of the guests think that the way of transporting food by boat is relatively novel, so they keep coming."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the boat and commented elegantly:

"But...it's really interesting to use a boat that automatically swims on the water to deliver food."

"Do you like it~?"

It was the beautiful voice of a young woman.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi, who had their hands always resting on the handrails of the bridge, were slightly startled, quickly recovered, and turned their heads to the left uniformly.

They looked at the gentle woman with a light brown bun hairstyle in a purple kimono, a blue dress, and a light brown bun hairstyle standing in front of the left side of the beach in surprise, saying nothing.

The woman leaned forward slightly, folded her hands in front of her, looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi calmly, and introduced softly:

"In addition to the smallest wooden boat just now, we have other big boats in Liushuiting~"

"Big sister~"

Dongfang Haoyue looked at the gentle woman with a thirst for knowledge, and asked with a sweet smile:

"What will happen after those boats sail outside the guest rooms~?"

"I am the cashier at Liushuitei, and my name is Anzai Kyoko."

The gentle woman Anzai Kyoko introduced herself politely and said with a friendly smile:

"As long as the guest takes the dishes with food from the boat and presses the button in the guest room, the boat can automatically return to the dock next to the kitchen."

"Oh~~~"

Dongfang Haoyue nodded seriously and drawled in a cute voice.

Kudo Shinichi retracted his gaze from Anxi Kyoko and looked at Haoyue with a spring breeze, just about to make a joke.

"Sorry to disturb you."

A burly young man wearing a dark blue suit, brown tie, and white lining walked with steady steps to a point [-] meters behind Anzai Kyoko.

Anxi heard the commotion, looked at Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi tenderly, and said goodbye elegantly:

"Two kids, I'm going to do some work first~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Anxi Kyoko turned to the right gracefully and looked calmly at the burly man and...

Standing behind the man is a tall young man wearing a gray suit, light blue lining, light red tie, short brown hair, and his hands in his pockets.

Anxi Kyoko walked half a meter in front of them, folded her hands in front of her, and said in an elegant and polite manner:

"Hello, please give me your advice."

"Hello, we booked a room before."

The burly man looked at Anzai Kyoko friendly and confirmed warmly:

"Excuse me...can we enter the guest room?"
