“Since Master won’t come back to Dongdu with me, I’ll take back my half of the hairpin.” He childishly broke the hairpin in two.
Chibo Jinghua uttered a slight, red smirk: "Childish."
“Not childish at all. This is our token of love. It represents the beginning of our relationship and our bond as master and disciple will never change.” As Yu Sheng Nan spoke, she put her half into the dark space and then picked out a white jade hairpin from the dowry box.
The hairpin head is carved with blooming toon flowers, with a touch of vermilion red at the stamen.
"Hmm, I feel this would suit your style perfectly, Master." He carefully placed the hairpin into the beautiful woman's long, updo. "Indeed..."
Chi Bo Jinghua looked into the mirror, where white jade reflected her black hair, like snow falling on ink plum blossoms. She lightly touched the hairpin with her fingertips, then suddenly turned around, cupped the boy's face, and placed a kiss on his lips with the fragrance of bath beans.
"You stupid apprentice."
She spoke softly, but a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes and brows.
There is no such thing as unchanging feelings; there is only love that grows stronger with time.
"Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting."
Ikenami Shizuka held back Hanyu Nan, who wanted to deepen the kiss.
Yesterday, the group returned from Katsuoji Temple and went back to their hotel to rest. Last night, only the ill-intentioned Hanyu Nan and the pre-arranged Ikenami Shizuka were in the huge mansion.
Um……
It seems like I've forgotten something?
In the courtyard, Yingying, who evolved from Eevee to Sylveon, was angrily chasing after the Pidgey that dared to use its wings to block her view of its owner's affectionate moments that morning.
The Weather Alliance lasted only one night before it collapsed.
...
Osaka Station.
"Have a safe trip. I'll come visit you guys when I have my vacation."
Kazuha stood on the platform, reluctantly saying goodbye.
Ikeba Shizuka also waved to Yuzuru, who was secretly winking at her, with a gentle smile on her lips.
Not far away, Hattori Heiji was also seeing off his best friend.
While Ayako had booked a private box for Hanyu Nan, Conan could only share a regular seat with Kogoro Mouri.
"President Achiba is definitely not the real culprit." Hattori Heiji lowered his voice, his dark face filled with resentment.
Even though their mother is gone, the two great detectives are still discussing the case. Their dedication is truly admirable.
Conan nodded, glanced at the group of Yuzuru and the others who were saying goodbye in the distance, and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Your father personally ordered that Chairman Achiba is the murderer, so the clues we found are completely useless."
Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji scratched his head in frustration: "Dad is just getting senile. He can't even tell what's important and what's urgent. All he cares about is suppressing public opinion. He doesn't care about the truth at all."
Conan sighed, "If your dad doesn't agree, we can't even get into the scene."
The feeling of discovering the truth but having no one believe it is incredibly painful for a detective like him.
Hattori Heiji said angrily, "No wonder people online are telling him to commit seppuku to atone for his sins. If Dad does this, he'll incur public wrath sooner or later!"
An announcement came over the station's loudspeaker.
"The Shinkansen bound for Tokyo is about to depart..."
Conan patted his best friend on the shoulder and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do now. Or you could go back and try to persuade your dad to reinvestigate the matter."
Although Hattori Heiji was angry, he could only do so for the time being.
Normally, he could freely enter and exit various crime scenes in Osaka because the police gave him face because of his father. Now that Hattori Heizo has spoken, he can't even enter the scene, let alone examine the evidence.
...
The journey back was uneventful.
The journey of just over two hours quickly took us back to Tokyo from Osaka.
Outside the station, Ayako had already arranged the convoy.
After traveling for so many days, I need to go home first.
"Aunt Eri, we'll head back now. Good sister, see you next time." Yuzuru smiled and waved to Eri and Yukiko, who were standing together, and then got into a car with Ai and Akemi.
Watching the car drive away, Yukiko grinned and leaned close to Eri's ear, tugging at her shoulder: "Eri, don't you think that bad brother's master looks especially... radiant today?"
She deliberately emphasized the last four words.
Eri Kisaki adjusted her glasses and looked away: "Really?"
“Yes!” Yukiko gestured exaggeratedly, “Look at her skin, so moist and supple, her eyes sparkling, her complexion, it’s just like… Ah, wait until I finish.”
Before she could finish speaking, Eri Kisaki had already gotten into the car on her own.
The convoy slowly drove away from the station.
Eri Kisaki gazed through the train window at the receding platform, while Yukiko, undeterred, continued, "I heard that Ms. Shizuka divorced without hesitation, and her son is getting really close to my silly son, tsk..."
"Yukiko." Eri Kisaki's glasses flashed coldly. "When did you become so gossipy?"
"Ever since you started caring about your naughty younger brother~" Yukiko blinked, then suddenly lowered her voice, "But seriously, Eri, what are you planning to do?"
Eri Kisaki didn't answer immediately. Instead, she looked out the window at the fleeting scenery and after a long while, she whispered, "What? What should we do?"
"Don't play dumb." Yukiko was unusually serious. "You know what I'm talking about."
A brief silence fell over the carriage.
The red light ahead turned on, and the convoy slowly came to a stop. Eri Kisaki's gaze fell on the car at the front, which carried Nanami Hanyu, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "I know what I'm doing."
"Ara~" Yukiko crossed her arms and said leisurely, "Let me tell you, the naughty little brother is very popular. If you're any slower, you won't get to eat anything. The naughty little brother's milk is good for your beauty and health~"
As they were talking, the big star started driving.
"Shut up."
Eri's ears turned slightly red as she reached out and rolled down the car window.
The October wind brought a slight chill, but it couldn't dispel the heat from my cheeks.
"Yukiko."
"Um?"
Do you want to sink Tokyo Bay?
...
Meanwhile, in another car.
Yuzuru was chatting with the Miyano sisters.
"How was your trip to Osaka?"
"Fantastic!"
Akemi clasped her hands together and suggested with a happy expression, "Young Master Yuzuru, I think we can choose a place to travel together as a family every now and then."
Yuzuru Hanyu was very interested in the suggestion.
He shifted his gaze to the brown-haired loli who was propping her chin up and looking at the scenery outside the window, and said with a slight smile, "Then, from now on, our smartest little Ai will choose the places to go."
Ai: "..."
She silently turned her head and made an "X" with her hands: "I refuse."
She had no interest in doing things like helping Yuzuru Hanyu get closer to other women.
She's not one of her two guinea pigs.
I have a penchant for being nrt'd.
This time when we went to Osaka, someone actually raided our base right in front of us, and the proud little girl is already very angry.
Osaka is trash; it can't even keep a man in check. No wonder it can't compare to Tokyo.
Yuzuru and the maid exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Ai Haibara when she's jealous is just too cute to be true!
—(Our Osaka autumn foliage viewing trip has come to a successful end.)
