Despite the vast difference in their sizes, Ai dared not speak her anger. She could only glare at him before running away, clutching her clothes.
"Still glaring at me! Glare at me again and I'll give you a bun hairstyle like a wild rabbit!"
Yoruichi Toyama threatened her from behind.
Mingmei burst out laughing again from the side.
"Usagi Tsukino... I think you're the one who's Usagi Tsukino!"
"Since Ai is like this now, she can only be a little bunny."
"Then she's not my daughter anymore?" Yoruichi Toyama said casually, watching the two children walk away into the changing room.
"And who are you? Mamoru Chiba?"
Realizing his mistake as soon as the words left his mouth, Yoruichi Toyama coughed twice, avoiding looking into Akemi's eyes.
But his hand was gently held.
"If you don't object, I'd also like to be Tuxedo Mask, who helps Sailor Moon..."
The sounds around me weren't loud, especially at the bustling cosplay event, where they were almost drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
But Yoruichi Toyama heard it clearly, word by word, as if it had pierced right into his heart.
It felt like something exploded in my brain, making my ears ring.
This, this is...
real?
Akemi really... to herself...
Frozen and without turning her head, Yoruichi Toyama stared blankly as Nizo and Ai's figures disappeared into the changing room.
"That's right!..."
Because I didn't know how to answer, I forced myself to find a topic.
"Let's hurry and see if they've changed yet... There are quite a lot of people over there..."
Without finishing her sentence, Yoruichi Toyama grabbed Akemi's hand and ran over together.
I seemed to hear another very low sigh.
...
Kindaichi and Miyuki were also standing outside the changing room, waiting for Nimi, who had been inside for a while.
"Those two little devils are way too slow!" Hajime-chan, whose interest wasn't in the matter to begin with, complained listlessly.
“Girls are always more meticulous,” Yoruichi Toyama replied casually.
His attention is now completely focused on the area around the changing room.
If nothing unexpected happens, the kidnapper will show up soon.
She was wearing a Shinsengumi haori and a mask.
Hidden in his large suitcase were Ersan, who had been drugged with anesthetic.
However, this time, Ai is with me on the second and third.
Will it happen again...?
Yoruichi Toyama forced herself to keep from showing any sign of worry.
Because of the "plan," the kidnapper had to commit the crime at the COSY event venue.
If they find it difficult to deal with the children and instead resort to kidnapping someone else, the situation becomes even more complicated.
Kidnapping an adult without causing any harm is extremely difficult.
If innocent people get hurt because of this...
Various thoughts tangled in her mind, and Yoruichi waited anxiously for about 10 more minutes before finally losing her patience.
“It’s really too slow,” he said, turning to Mingmei. “Should we go check on them?”
This was the first time he had made eye contact with Akemi since their conversation, but he didn't say anything.
Akemi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed and went into the girls' changing room with Miyuki.
Less than two minutes later, the two of them came out again.
Another elementary school girl, already dressed in cosplay, followed behind.
"They said that the girl who was changing clothes with them suddenly had a stomachache, and Nimi helped her to the toilet, and Ai went with her."
Mingmei briefly explained the situation, and the elementary school student nodded in agreement.
"The toilet?" Yoruichi Toyama was taken aback; this was an unexpected turn of events not present in the original storyline.
That said, apart from the second and third kids, it seems like we didn't see any other elementary school students participating in cosplay in the original story.
Looking at the scene before us, there were four children in the changing room before.
The kidnappers may have found it inconvenient to carry out the kidnapping.
"Kindaichi-kun, go check over by the restrooms, just in case they need any help." Yoruichi Toyama didn't hesitate and sent Hajime-chan over first.
If the kidnapper follows you to the restroom, at the very least, Kindaichi and Miyuki will discover his presence.
"Oh!" Kindaichi agreed and was about to leave when he narrowed his eyes again, "And what about you?"
“I’ll take this child to her guardian first,” Yoruichi Toyama replied.
At times like these, one cannot be careless at all.
If the other two are alright, but this kid in front of me is all alone and tied up, wouldn't I have been guarding against nothing?
"Besides, aren't Ersan and the others' belongings still in the changing room?"
The elementary school student immediately nodded again.
While Akemi waited outside the changing room and kept an eye on the people coming and going, Yoruichi Toyama went ahead and took the elementary school student to her mother.
When I returned, before I even got close to the changing room, I saw a figure pushing a suitcase on the road in front of me.
really!
Yoruichi Toyama felt like she had just gotten what she wanted, and rushed forward in a few steps to block the person.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
When he saw that the person was wearing a Shinsengumi haori and a paper mask on his face, his tone unconsciously became stern.
"Sir, who are you? What's in this box?"
The question was quite rude, but Yoruichi Toyama didn't care about anything else.
Two or three, perhaps other children, could very well have been put in this box!
We can't let him get away with this!
We must not let him continue with his plans!
