According to official statements, the plot of Detective Conan only spans five months from beginning to end.
However, within these five months, Conan and Ran Mori have experienced three or four Christmases, over a dozen summer and winter breaks, and an uncountable number of seasonal changes.
In such a situation, Gin says a fortnight...
Stinky Sprout: "What's the date today where you are?"
Gin: "March 27th."
Although unsure why the group leader was asking this, Gin answered promptly.
Stinky Sprout: "What's the date a fortnight later?"
Gin: "May 22nd."
God's Tongue: "..."
Sōsuke Aizen: "..."
King Solomon: "..."
World's Strongest Swordsman: "..."
Faced with Gin's statement, everyone in the chat group couldn't help but send a series of ellipses.
Gin: "What's wrong?"
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "The fact that you still don't see a problem is the scariest thing."
Stinky Sprout: "Alright, let's ask it simply. What day of the week is it for you?"
Gin: "...Monday."
Vaguely sensing something amiss, Gin, sitting in his Porsche 365A, furrowed his brow.
Stinky Sprout: "What about tomorrow?"
Gin: "Tuesday. The day after is Wednesday."
Hestia: "Seems fine."
Ainz Ooal Gown: "Looks like weekdays are still normal."
Stinky Sprout: "What about the day after tomorrow?"
Gin: "Sunday."
Everyone: "..."
Another series of ellipses followed.
Everyone in the chat group now realized something was wrong.
Stinky Sprout: "1 + 1 + 1 + 1 equals how much?"
Gin: "4."
Stinky Sprout: "Then shouldn't the day after tomorrow be Thursday? Why is it Sunday?"
Gin: "!"
Inside the car, Gin's eyes widened in shock, and the cigarette in his mouth unconsciously dropped.
"Boss?"
Vodka looked at him with confusion.
Gin didn't reply.
He pulled his black brimmed hat down, hiding any signs of his inner turmoil.
Just how... did this happen?
God's Tongue: "The newcomer's world has completely messed up its time."
Sōsuke Aizen: "And the problem is, he doesn't seem to think anything is wrong with this."
Seventeen-Year-Old Girl: "But he does seem quite shaken by the final question."
Stinky Sprout: "@Gin."
Gin: "I asked Vodka the same questions, and his answers added up to 4... But when I mentioned that the day after tomorrow should be Thursday, he looked confused."
Coffee Jelly Enthusiast: "He completely missed the mistake in the dates?"
King Solomon: "Perhaps joining this chat group is what allowed Gin to finally notice the faulty sense of time?"
Gin did not reply.
He might have gone off to investigate or test others. Eventually, the topic shifted to something else.
At that moment, Fang Mingjing put away his fishing rod and looked up at the sky.
Little white specks were falling from the sky.
Snowing?
Fang Mingjing extended his hand to catch a snowflake. It was only then that he noticed it was already winter.
"It's starting to snow."
A husky, sensual female voice reached Fang Mingjing's ears.
A vast shadow gradually emerged from beneath the surface of Mirror Lake, followed by a large, dark snake head appearing in Fang Mingjing's line of sight.
After surfacing, the evil god transformed back into human form.
She was tall and curvy, her thick black hair covering half her face. Her alluring face exuded an aura of decadent beauty and wildness.
"Why's the Evil God in the lake?"
"I sometimes sleep here."
"Isn't it cold?"
"It only feels cold in winter."
The Evil God naturally held him in her arms as they sat in the small wooden boat.
Perhaps it was the warmth of Xiao Shengzi's body that made her comfortable, or maybe she simply felt happy holding him, but a faint smile played on her indifferent face.
"Does the Evil God hibernate in winter?"
"I do. I'll start hibernating soon once I've stored enough food. But you can still come find me, Xiao Mingjing. I can wake up and play with you."
"That's good."
Xiao Shengzi always felt it was boring without the Evil God.
The Evil God smiled.
She watched the snowflakes fall gently upon her and Fang Mingjing. Perhaps afraid he might feel cold, she blew away the falling snow.
"Do you want to come find food with me? Then I'll take you to see where I hibernate."
"Okay."
Fang Mingjing readily agreed, "How about we go find those Scaleback Apes again for food?"
"They definitely wouldn't taste good."
"But they're probably hoarding a lot of things for winter. Last time, I saw a few Exquisite Flame Source Fruits hidden deep in their nesting ground."
"Okay, let's go find them first."
Seeing the Evil God nod, Xiao Shengzi became excited.
For him, taking down those bullying Scaleback Apes on Stop Water Peak was the most enjoyable thing.
"But don't you want to consider living with me and Aunt?"
"I'm not used to it. Maybe later."
"You always say that..."
Fang Mingjing was slightly displeased, but he quickly forgot about it as the Evil God led him away from Mirror Lake, towards the depths of the forest.
"Let's not rob them right away. I'll trade two Cloud Fruits with them. If they don't want to trade, then we'll take them by force."
"Do you still have the Cloud Fruits you took last time?"
"Yeah, I'm getting a bit tired of eating them, so I'll trade them with them."
"Okay."
...
Scaleback Ape: Can you be a decent person for once?
