Chapter 13
The winding mountain road was very quiet under the moonlight. The night was blowing in Kurokawa Akishige's hair. Looking at the endless road ahead, a melancholy mood spread in his heart.
"Is there any way for me to go back?"
System: "...If you had said less, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Kurokawa Akiho curled his lips. He didn't expect that people in this world would be so frivolous that they would just throw him out of the car.
He sighed, "I'm not leaving."
The lights on the winding mountain road were very bright, and the slender figure of a young man stood by the roadside, feeling the cold wind.
"Think of a way to let me go back quickly." Kurokawa Akifumi was playing tricks.
System; [… Cheating is useless!]
Kurokawa Akiwa became more confident and said, "Isn't this all for the development of the amusement park? The park is short-staffed right now, who am I doing this for?"
"I'm sacrificing my life for your game. Did you see that musket in Gin's hand? He almost killed me."
Kurokawa Akiwa's face was filled with sadness, his blue cat eyes overflowing with disappointment. He felt as if he had been stabbed in the back by his favorite game, and was heartbroken and almost in tears. "I've given so much to the park. I've been up early and worked late every day, devoting myself to it. And now I've been abandoned on the side of the road to die, and you haven't even thought of a way to help me."
The system was getting so annoyed by the constant nagging: [Wait five more minutes.]
[In five minutes a car will come down the mountain. Whether you can get on it is up to you.]
Kurokawa Akishige instantly put away his pitiful expression and stood leisurely on the side of the road waiting for the car that would take him back to paradise.
Five minutes passed quickly, and soon Kurokawa Akishige heard the sound of a car running, and then the road was illuminated by headlights.
Before Kurokawa Akishige could call for a stop, the oncoming vehicle stopped in front of him.
After the car window was rolled down, a strange face appeared in front of Kurokawa Akimoto.
The man had golden brown hair and slightly dark wheat-colored skin.
【Ahhhh Touko finally appears!!】
【Touko's painting style is very good. 】
[Damn, this man is even more charming.]
Kurokawa blinked, having no memory of the person before him. While Kurokawa was lost in thought, the blond, honey-skinned man leaned back, revealing the person he was hiding.
It was Kogoro Mori, whom I had met once before. Then, a head popped out from the back row.
Edogawa Conan came over from the back seat and waved to Kurokawa Akiwa, "What a coincidence, Mr. Director."
Mao Lilan smiled at Kurokawa Akiwa and said, "Director Kurokawa, long time no see."
In addition to Edogawa Conan and Mouri Ran, there were a few little kids in the back row who were curiously stretching their heads to look at Kurokawa Akiwa.
A look of surprise crossed Kurokawa's face as he greeted them one by one. When his eyes caught sight of the blond, honey-skinned young man driving the car, Kurokawa froze for a moment and asked, "Who is this?"
"My name is Toru Amuro, and I'm Mr. Mori's apprentice." Toru Amuro took the initiative to introduce himself.
Kurokawa Akifusa blinked and introduced himself.
"Really, how long are you going to drag it out?" Kogoro Mouri complained impatiently.
The winding mountain road wasn't a good place for a conversation. Amuro looked around but didn't see any cars nearby. As if seeing through the young man's predicament, he asked gently, "Where are you going, Mr. Kurokawa? Do you need a ride?"
This was what Kurokawa Akifumi was waiting for. He quickly replied, "Okay, thank you for your help."
The car was spacious with multiple seats, and the moment Kurokawa Akiho got in, he was surrounded by children. Their young faces were filled with curiosity about him.
Edogawa Conan's voice was filled with curiosity: "Why is the principal here?"
System: [He asked you, do you want to tell me?]
Kurokawa Akiwa: ...I knew he would ask.
Kurokawa Akiwa remained calm and made up a story: "A partner said that if I came here during this time, I could get an investment. But when I got here, there seemed to be no one there. The taxi driver drove away, and when I realized it, I was the only one left here."
Yoshida Ayumi's eyes widened: "In that case, doesn't it mean that the principal was stood up?"
"That person went too far." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya frowned.
Kurokawa Akifumi smiled nonchalantly, "So far, that seems to be the case. Looks like my luck has been pretty bad lately, hahaha."
The corners of Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched.
Hey, this is just a complete lie, right? How could you actually believe it?
Kurokawa Akishige looked at the people in the car and asked curiously, "By the way, where are you guys? Why are you here at this time?"
When they heard Kurokawa Akifusa's question, everyone's expression became a little subtle, and the faces of the Junior Detective League showed a look of loss.
Mao Lilan replied: "Dad received a commission from the villa and just finished it."
[Blindly guessing that the owner of this villa may have already sent it]
[Indeed, otherwise the little detective and the others would definitely be allowed to stay overnight.]
Speaking of the villa, Yoshida Ayumi's voice was a little depressed: "That villa is so beautiful, but such a terrible thing happened there."
Akiwa Kurokawa: He understood, and the barrage was right again.
Is it just his illusion? Why does it seem like murders happen wherever they go?
"It's because you insisted on following me. Damn it, why did I bring all these little brats here?" Kogoro Mouri complained.
"Okay, Dad has been complaining all the way, so stop it." Mao Lilan came out to smooth things over.
"Could you please input Mr. Kurokawa's address?" Toru Amuro, who was acting as the driver, handed the navigation to Akiharu Kurokawa.
Kurokawa Akishige took the phone and hesitated for a few seconds before entering the address. Then, relying on his vague memory, he typed in the address of the amusement park: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Amuro."
The black-haired young man's hesitation for a few seconds did not escape Amuro Toru's eyes. The man with golden brown hair secretly noted his momentary hesitation, took the phone without changing his expression, and drove towards the address.
"This address is the theme park I've always wanted to visit, but unfortunately I've never had the chance to go because I was too busy with work." Toru Amuro said with regret.
The other party was obviously being polite.
But Kurokawa Akiho will never let go of any tourist who can become a leek.
Kurokawa Akifumi said enthusiastically, "The amusement park is currently undergoing renovations. Once the opening date is confirmed, everyone should definitely come and have fun."
The Young Detectives moved closer to the navigation system, and were all filled with excitement when they saw the destination clearly.
Yoshida Ayumi said in surprise: "It turned out to be that amusement park on some day!"
Hearing what Yoshida Ayumi said, Kurokawa Akiwa was a little surprised: "Have you ever been here to play?"
Kojima Genta nodded: "It's where we met that Shinichi brother. We even crawled into the hole of the roller coaster - wuwu!"
"Genta!" Ayumi Yoshida and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya quickly rushed forward and covered their companion's mouth.
The three children's actions were so obvious that they seemed to be interpreted with voice. Kurokawa Akifumi raised his eyebrows.
Is there still a place where people can evade the entrance fee on a roller coaster? I'll go back and ask Matsuda to check it out.
I can’t imagine how much money he lost, damn it.
"We discovered it by accident. After walking in, we can actually go directly into the roller coaster." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Edogawa Conan Half Moon Eyes: You guys were obviously trying to evade the ticket, right?
Kurokawa Akiwa smiled nonchalantly and warned, "Next time you encounter this kind of situation, be sure to tell the staff immediately. It's very dangerous to go in there alone."
The Young Detectives looked at the good-tempered principal and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. They nodded and promised that they would never sneak in again.
Children's admiration always comes in an extremely simple way.
Kurokawa Akifumi was full of patience with the children, especially future visitors. He spoke gently and smiled, "This roller coaster is different from the last one. You must come and ride it when it opens."
【Boy, there's hell ahead. 】
[No wonder the old thief sent the young headmaster here for forced labor, hahaha.]
[I came back specially to see the naive little principal, hahahahaha. ]
Kurokawa Akiwa: Why are the comments always so weird?
Toru Amuro drove steadily and fast. In comparison, Akiho Kurokawa felt that the only advantage of vodka was gone.
When I thought of vodka, I couldn't help but wonder how I could maximize the effect of vodka after Gin came to work at the park.
It gave me a headache just thinking about it, but I still couldn’t figure out how to arrange it.
After Kurokawa Akishige became familiar with the Junior Detective Team in the car, they soon arrived at the main entrance of the amusement park.
The gate of the closed amusement park was tightly shut, and streetlights illuminated a small area, adding a bit of horror. In the darkness, a thin layer of mist covered the distance, and it looked as if there was a huge black skeleton, vaguely giving off a weird vibe.
The originally excited young detectives froze, and after looking at each other, they spoke less and their enthusiasm faded by more than half.
Seeing this scene, Edogawa Conan couldn't help laughing: "Weren't you so excited just now, but now you're scared?"
Kurokawa Akiho didn't hear clearly what Edogawa Conan said. A new message notification popped up in the system's message bar. He closed the game interface and said goodbye to everyone one by one.
The control room and office are both on the left side of the theme park gate. As soon as Kurokawa Akishige walked to the corner, he saw the back of Morufushi Kagemitsu.
Morofushi Jingguang, wearing his work uniform and carrying a toolbox, was a little surprised to see Kurokawa Akifusa and asked, "Did the director just get back?"
Kurokawa Akiwa rubbed his neck and nodded at him.
I didn’t feel very tired just now, but as soon as I got back to the park, my whole body was filled with fatigue.
"What about you?" he asked back.
Zhu Fujingguang shook the toolbox in his hand at him: "The street light at the door is broken. Matsuda is supervising the roller coaster. I'll come over to fix it."
"Hmm." Kurokawa Akifumi nodded to indicate that he understood.
"By the way, Director, we can now enter the Ferris wheel. Did you know this?" Having seen too many supernatural things, Zhu Fujingguang has long been accustomed to the unusualness of the park.
It is very unscientific that he can stand here to repair street lights.
Kogoro Maori leaned over the car window and looked at the amusement park under the dark curtain. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a huge amusement park. It's really amazing that Mr. Kurokawa owns such a large amusement park at such a young age."
Mao Lilan recalled the situation when she came last time and couldn't help but say, "It must be very exhausting to manage it."
"It must be very hard. Mr. Kurokawa looks very tired." Amuro Toru echoed, his eyes casually sweeping across the amusement park. When he saw the figure opposite Kurokawa Akiho, his palm suddenly tightened.
The black-haired young principal was talking to someone. In the corner where the light could not reach, only half of the person's body was revealed. Although the distance was far, Amuro Toru could still see it clearly at a glance.
hiro…?
