As the saying goes, with books one is long, without books one is short.

The few days of leisure I steal from life are always spent quietly, and when something happens, it is difficult to finish it with a book.

That night, Karasawa and Ayako came to Ranburi Shrine together to participate in the third Chief's Day City festival.

Ayako was wearing a standard kimono for attending festivals, which was of course thicker and warmer because of the weather.

Tang Ze did not wear formal attire as usual, but dressed casually.

Simple black pants paired with a blue denim jacket and a white hooded sweatshirt make Tang Ze, who usually has a mature style, look full of youthful vitality.

Even Tang Ze, who chose this outfit, felt a little uncomfortable with his younger self at first glance when he looked in the mirror. On the contrary, Ayako thought that Tang Ze looked good in this style.

In her words, she is used to seeing Tang Ze's mature style in a suit, but now she feels fresh and eye-opening to see Tang Ze's casual and trendy style.

This made Tang Ze start to reflect on himself. He wondered if he had worn suits so many times that he almost forgot himself. This is actually a fact of being a young man.

The main reason is that his calm temperament allows him to pull off a suit in daily life. For example, when young people are interviewing for a job, you will feel an awkward conflict between their maturity and immaturity when they wear suits.

"Hey, sister~~this way~"

The two walked hand in hand and soon heard Yuanzi's voice.

Hearing the sound, they looked in the direction and found that Sonoko was waving at them at the 9 o'clock position in front of them, and Xiaolan and Conan were standing next to her.

Seeing the two figures, Tang Ze's heart did not fluctuate at all. After all, Sonoko had said before that she would come to the festival again with her good friend Xiaolan.

As for Conan, there is no need to even think about him. He is wherever there is a case. There is nothing much to say.

"Good evening." Tang Ze greeted the three of them and rubbed Conan's head. "Hey, it's been a long time since we last met. You've been busy lately, haven't you?"

"Well, that's true." Conan nodded as he thought of the cases he had encountered before, then smiled and said, "How about you, are you interested in how Dai Li is doing?"

"Not bad." Tang Ze looked at Conan and said with a smile: "By the way, the souvenir is in my car, remember to take it when you leave."

"I'm so sorry." Xiaolan beside her bowed slightly and thanked them, "I really appreciate your care. Every time you go out, you always bring us some local specialties."

"It's okay. You are a good friend of Sonoko, and I want to thank you for taking care of Sonoko."

When Ayako heard Xiaolan's thanks, she quickly waved her hands and said, "You have protected Sonoko so many times, this is what I deserve.

I'll have to trouble you to continue protecting the garden in the future. This child is so impulsive, you never know when he'll get into trouble."

"Of course, if there are bad guys, I will definitely protect the garden!" Xiaolan promised seriously after hearing this.

"Hey, Xiaolan is the best!"

Yuanzi hugged Xiaolan and put her arms around her. After getting close to her, she said with a nervous expression, "But Xiaolan, the way you're dressed today doesn't seem like you can protect me.

It's rare to see you in a long skirt, could it be that Kudo guy will be here today?"

Today, Xiaolan is wearing a dark red long skirt and a brighter orange sweater jacket on her upper body, looking very ladylike.

"No!" Xiaolan blushed when she heard that and quickly waved her hands, "I just feel it's a bit cold today, so I think this outfit is not bad."

"Eh...is that so?" Sonoko asked doubtfully.

"It's okay to change your style occasionally."

Upon hearing Sonoko's question, Xiaolan quickly said, "Look, Detective Tang Ze is dressed very fashionably today. On the contrary, Sonoko, you seem to be dressed more maturely than usual!"

"Is that so?" After hearing what Xiaolan said, Sonoko's eyes turned into small dots. She smiled shyly and said, "Well, none of this matters. I'm going to get revenge. Come with me!!"

Looking at Sonoko's shy expression, Xiaolan looked at her skirt and thought of the warning in the last lottery result that "tomboy behavior is prohibited."

Then she looked at Yuanzi, who was dressed maturely, and thought that Yuanzi's mature dress might be related to the fortune she had drawn before.

But before she could come to her senses, Xiaolan felt her body running forward involuntarily. When she came to her senses, she found that Sonoko was holding her hand and running with her towards the shrine.

As for Conan, he also looked very serious. Before running, he even winked at Tang Ze, indicating that he should catch up quickly.

Looking at the serious Conan, Tang Ze had a strange look on his face.

Could it be that he mistook the "revenge" that Sonoko mentioned as revenge for capturing the "Chief's Man"?

But Sonoko had already clamored many times at home before, because she didn't draw a good lot last time, so she wanted to avenge her previous defeat and draw the good lot she wanted this time.

But looking at Conan's serious expression just now, it was obvious that he had no idea what Sonoko meant by "revenge".

He and Ayako followed slowly, and when they arrived at the drawing place, seeing Conan's depressed expression, Tang Ze couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, the other party has already known that the truth behind Sonoko's "revenge" is the "love fortune" that is very effective in this shrine.

"I must draw a good lot this time!"

Rolling up his sleeves, Yuanzi looked ready to do something big, and urged Xiaolan, "Lan, come and draw another one!"

"This is not good. How can this be..." Xiaolan said hesitantly after hearing this.
