“Come to think of it, it seems like it’s been a long time since I took Ran out to play…”
妃英ri gazed at the pedestrians along the road in the distance with her beautiful eyes.
A mother was holding her daughter's hand, handing her a balloon she had just bought.
After all, she had been drinking too much Wangzai milk that Aki Tsukishiro had given her.
She had forgotten about her own daughter, Ran Mouri.
The last time she went out to play with Ran.
It was after Ran graduated from junior high school.
After that, as her reputation in the legal field grew.
The number of cases the firm received also increased.
These past two years, she has often been in a busy state.
As a result, when she had some free time these two days, she thought of her lover, Aki Tsukishiro, first.
Inviting him to go on a trip to Saitama Prefecture as a couple.
Aki Tsukishiro looked at 妃英ri from the rearview mirror with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
Actually, before that, Ran had also invited Aki Tsukishiro to come to Saitama Prefecture with her.
After all, it was right next to Mita Town, and so close.
Ran naturally knew about the news of the Saitama Prefecture's annual night festival.
She was very enthusiastic about inviting Aki Tsukishiro, but he declined.
Ran and Yingli Auntie?
Of course, he would choose to accompany Yingli Auntie.
After all, Yingli Auntie was just too good.
However, Aki Tsukishiro did not tell 妃英ri about this.
Otherwise, 妃英ri would probably be afraid of running into Ran.
Then she might get cold feet and cancel their trip.
“It’s so lively!”
When Aki Tsukishiro parked the car, 妃英ri seemed quite excited.
She naturally wrapped her arms around Aki Tsukishiro's hand.
Because they weren't in Mita Town, where they could see people they knew everywhere.
妃英ri felt like she could let loose a little.
At this moment, they were completely like a couple in love.
They flowed into the crowd.
Because of the night festival, the crowd on the street brought a bustling and glamorous atmosphere.
There were also many food stalls lined up, offering grilled skewers, takoyaki, salt-grilled fish, and other common delicacies, emitting rich aromas.
They went to the inn where they had booked their room first.
妃英ri had also specially brought with them two yukatas to wear to the night festival.
After they returned to the inn to cleanse and bathe and changed into them, they would come to attend the festival.
A long time later.
“Really, I told you to stop fooling around, what if we miss the festival?”
妃英ri held Aki Tsukishiro’s hand and hurried out of the inn.
There was still a faint blush on her cheeks, as if she had just finished bathing.
“Don’t worry, Yingli Auntie, I…”
“Really! Don’t call me Yingli Auntie at this time.”
妃英ri pouted, her beautiful eyes looking at Aki Tsukishiro with a hint of threat.
Aki Tsukishiro raised his hand in a gesture of surrender, “Yingli, look, I’ve confirmed that we won’t miss the time.”
Sure enough, it hadn’t started yet.
In the crowd, there was also a team of TV reporters who had just arrived.
妃英ri pulled Aki Tsukishiro away from that street.
They watched some music and dance performances for a while.
They tasted some of the local delicacies.
The festival began.
Looking at the giant “天” character on the mountain in the distance being lit up.
The firelight was shining brightly in the night sky.
“Tsukishiro-kun…” 妃英ri looked up, her beautiful eyes reflecting the twinkling lights.
Looking at 妃英ri, who was wearing a purple yukata.
Aki Tsukishiro bent slightly, understanding her unspoken words.
——————
“So romantic!”
In the glow of the hanging lanterns.
Ran saw a couple kissing in the distance.
After seeing this scene.
She began to imagine Aki Tsukishiro and her doing the same thing there…
It was a bit of a pity, unfortunately, Aki Tsukishiro was not with her today.
“It’s not bad to have something like this occasionally. You take a bath at the inn and then come to the festival to have a look.”
Kogoro Mori and Conan followed Ran, looking leisurely at the sights on both sides of the street.
——————
Because they had already done a lot of physical activities on the way here.
A faint tiredness soon appeared on 妃英ri’s pretty face.
Aki Tsukishiro saw it and said softly, “Do you want to go back to the inn and rest?”
“Okay.” 妃英ri thought about it, they had already seen all the highlights of the festival.
After she found the street leading back to the inn, she turned around and held Aki Tsukishiro’s hand and walked in front.
Suddenly, she turned her head and blinked at Aki Tsukishiro like a girl.
“I had a lot of fun today, Yingli Auntie will reward you back at the inn!”
Aki Tsukishiro smiled and squeezed her hand.
On another street.
Ran, Kogoro Mori and Conan were enjoying the festival when they came across a tanned middle-aged man.
After talking with him, they learned that he was a writer named Seiichi Seiji.
He was here at the festival to gather material.
Seiichi Seiji asked Ran and the others to take some pictures of him at the festival.
This kind of small favor was not a problem.
However, when Conan heard Seiichi Seiji mutter under his breath, “It’s so hot,” he thought it was a bit ridiculous, since he was wearing a jacket. Why complain about the heat?
They hadn’t been taking pictures for long.
A police officer named Jingo Yokomizo with coral-colored hair, came up to Seiichi Seiji.
Because Chikaku Kintaku, who was staying at the same inn as Seiichi Seiji, was found to have been shot and killed.
They asked Seiichi Seiji, the main suspect at the moment, to return to the inn to cooperate with the investigation.
Hearing that there was a case, Kogoro Mori and Conan also followed.
