With continuous searching, the three finally came to a mountain forest.

Hattori Heiji pointed at the side door not far away, "That's the west gate of Kurama Temple. Most people enter through the Nio Gate, but we can get closer here."

Otoi Hiroshi casually glanced at the road sign, which read "Kurama Temple Deep Yard, 588 meters away."

Speaking of which, Kurama Temple seems to have been founded by Master Jianzhen, a disciple of the famous monk Jianzhen who traveled east to Japan.

Among the lush mountain forests, the dappled sunshine is faintly shining, and the occasional breeze is refreshing.

Amid the cries of crows, the three of them walked around the spiral stone steps beside the ancient tree and reached their destination deep in the forest.

The tangled ancient trees are dyed golden by the sun, and the fragrance of leaves occasionally hits the tip of your nose, giving you a relaxing and leisurely atmosphere.

"This is Fudodo in Monkami Valley. It is said that Ushiwakamaru met Tengu here and learned the art of war from him here." Hattori Heiji looked around and sighed, "This place is indeed quite suitable for practicing swordsmanship. .”

He stood under the old tree behind him and raised his head, "Look carefully, this fir tree is really big."

"It seems that it has gone through hundreds of years at least." Otoi Hiroshi nodded.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed from his sight, and he immediately stretched out his hand and lay down on the ground together with Hattori Heiji.

Before Hattori Heiji could react, he heard the trembling sound of the arrow breaking through the wind and piercing the ancient tree.

Conan hurriedly turned his head when he saw this. On the branch of a cedar tree not far away, a mysterious man with an able face was doing the action of drawing a bow. When he saw what happened, he immediately turned around and jumped directly from the branch. Down.

"Don't run!"

Just when Hiroshi Otoi wanted to stop him, Conan was already chasing him. So he could only call Hattori Heiji and follow Conan.

"Really, how could Xiao Hei be caught red-handed so easily." Otoi Hiroshi sighed helplessly.

In the deep mountain forest, the figures of Conan and Xiao Hei kept flickering, sliding down the thick tree roots, leaping high, grabbing the branch above their heads, and throwing their bodies out.

"This guy..." Hattori Heiji exclaimed, "He is just like Ushiwakamaru."

"Ushiwakamaru?" Hiroshi Otoi curled his lips as he ran, "Monkey is pretty much the same."

At the bottom of the mountain, just as Conan was watching Xiao Hei riding away on a motorcycle, Hattori Heiji threw his helmet directly, pulled Conan into the car and chased after him.

"Hey..." Otoi Hiroshi shouted.

"Go back and wait for us first!" Conan shouted back.

Otoi Hiroshi stretched out his fingers and scratched his cheek. He actually meant the same thing. He couldn't catch up anyway...

Why waste that effort.

On his way back to the temple, he happened to meet Suzuki Sonoko and others walking out of the teahouse.

"Otoi-san, isn't Conan with you?" Mao Lilan asked doubtfully.

"Well, he and Heiji encountered something and will be back later."

"What a coincidence. Just as we mentioned you, you appeared." Yuan Shan and Ye covered their mouths and snickered.

"Kazuha-chan!" Suzuki Sonoko shouted in shame and anger.

"You mentioned me? What's wrong?" Otoi Hiroshi asked.

"It's nothing," Yuan Shan and Ye blinked at him with their hands behind their backs, "This is a secret between us girls."

"profound……"

Since there was still some time before the sun set, the four of them took a pleasant walk along the banks of the Kamogawa River.

There are boulders of various shapes on the water. Birds stand on the boulders and drink the clear river water. Occasionally, a group of students in school uniforms can be seen laughing and playing across the river.

"A school trip?" Mao Lilan looked at them longingly.

"Well," Suzuki Sonoko smiled, "our school is about to start."

Kyoto, a city with many temples, has many school trips throughout the year, and the cherry blossom and maple leaf seasons are the most popular.

Along the way, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha's pace became faster and faster, gradually leaving Otoi Hiroshi and Suzuki Sonoko behind.

In the evening, the surface of the Kamogawa River sparkled.

The rays of sunlight fell on Suzuki Sonoko's pretty, reddish face, adding a different kind of cuteness.

"It's been a long time since we took a walk together." Suzuki Sonoko tilted her body and looked at Otoi Hiroshi with a slight smile in her eyes.

"Indeed," Hiroshi Otoi stretched out his fingers and pushed her scattered bangs aside, "the bank of the Kamogawa River, with its pale golden water and circling birds, has an incredible feeling."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at him blankly, and then smiled softly.

Because he was around, even the ripples caused by the stones falling into the river became lively, so the girl's fingertips inadvertently touched the boy's fingertips, her eyes shining brightly.

But Otoi Hiroshi deliberately looked at the clear flowing water on the Kamogawa River and muttered, "Why are they walking so fast?" He secretly hooked his fingers with hers, and clasped her delicate white hands little by little, curling his fingers Hold, arms touching.

For the sake of convenience, Suzuki Sonoko tied up the ends of her hair with a hairband today. The short ponytail was like a rabbit's tail. It was a small bunch and left two strands of black hair beside her ears. A few strands of hair were fiddled with by the breeze. My cheeks were itchy.

Otoi Hiroshi turned to look at her.

It is easy to see the relaxed and happy mood on her snow-white and delicate little face. She has a pair of beautiful eyes, as bright as stars.

"Sonoko seems to be very happy today." Hiroshi Otoi whispered.

"Yeah." Suzuki Sonoko pecked her head.

"What did you think of that makes you so happy?"

"Well, I'm just happy anyway..."

As she spoke, she leaned against her shoulder, soft and warm.

Then, she wrapped her other hand around the end of her hair. As the hair tie was removed, her short brown hair fell loose, looking cute and lazy.

She spread her hands, handed the hair tie to Otoi Hiroshi, blinked and said, "Hiroshi, keep it for me."

"Why?" Otoi Hiroshi was a little confused.

"Huh? Isn't it possible?" Suzuki Sonoko's little face suddenly looked a little aggrieved.

"sure."

The grievance on her face disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

Otoi Hiroshi scratched the tip of her nose angrily and handed her hand over.

Suzuki Sonoko also held up the hair band with her fingers and put it on his wrist with a smile on her face.

Seeing that the hair band was securely placed on his wrist, Suzuki Sonoko breathed a subtle sigh of relief, raised her face, and asked seriously, "Do you have another girl you like?"

Otoi Hiroshi was startled for a moment, then nodded and admitted.

"Have."

"Aren't you afraid that she will be angry?" Suzuki Sonoko pointed to the hair tie on his wrist.

"But you felt aggrieved just now, didn't you?"

Suzuki Sonoko whispered, "I gave it to you on purpose."

"I know, but I answered it, didn't I?"

"Then... what should I do if she is angry?"

"Are you worried about me?" Hiroshi Otoi patted her head gently, and then pinched her fair and delicate face.

"I don't know either." She shook her head.

"Sonoko is my fiancée, isn't she?"

Suzuki Sonoko turned away and looked at the light-colored cherry blossoms on the shore, and then turned her head sharply as if she had made some decision.

"I won't lose."

"Na na," Mao Lilan tugged at the corners of Yuan Shan and Ye's clothes, "Look at those two people."

Toyama and Ye turned around, and the girl and the girl crossed their fingers and looked at each other. Even the scattered cherry blossoms seemed to be cheering for them.

"Oh, that's great." Yuan Shan and Ye helplessly sighed, "I don't know when those two idiots will finally wake up."

"But Otoi-kun is really good at it."
