Chapter 60 60
When he took the first bite, Chao Ri Xi Qiu thought he had made a mistake. It was not until he finished the whole crystal dumpling and the fragrance of watermelon rind filled his lips and teeth that he was sure: it was really a crystal dumpling filled with watermelon rind!!
If it is a ripe watermelon, you may not be able to taste it. But the one that Chaori Xiqiu ate was obviously raw and crunchy, and it even seemed that the outermost hard skin had not been removed.
…But why is it completely raw? The skin is cooked, but the filling is still raw? This is unscientific!!
Is it to let people know that they are eating a watermelon that a little bit of the watermelon rind flavor is retained?
Asahi Yuaki's pause caught the attention of Dr. Agasa. Dr. Agasa asked concernedly, "What's wrong, pork floss egg roll? Do you need a stack of vinegar?" As he said this, he had already picked up the small vinegar bottle next to him.
"Uh, no. No need, Doctor." Chaori Xiqiu shook her head. "Crystal dumplings stuffed with watermelon rind will not taste good when dipped in vinegar."
"Where did the watermelon rind stuffing come from?" Conan Edogawa beside him looked up in confusion, "Isn't this zucchini?"
"That's right!" Kojima Genta, who was sitting on the other side, said vaguely while eating. He could swallow three crystal dumplings in one bite. "The zucchini stuffing tastes pretty good this time."
"Little Egg Roll, do you want some watermelon? We'll provide a plate for each table after the meal." Suzuki Sonoko said cheerfully. She preferred calling it "Little Egg Roll" rather than "Ninety-nine Meat Floss Egg Roll".
Huh? ? ? Chaori Xiqiu looked a little stunned. The reactions of the people around him clearly showed that he was the only one who tasted the watermelon rind filling.
There was only one watermelon rind filling on the plate of crystal dumplings. Did I pick it accurately? I should have chosen the greenest one!
However, even if he didn't take the initiative to pick one, the closest one he picked up would be the one just now.
Well, in a sense, he and Watermelon are going in a two-way direction...but why would the chef make a pancake with watermelon rind filling without even removing the outermost layer of rind?
Chao Ri Xi Qiu twitched his lips, picked up the glass and took a sip of orange juice to dilute the crisp taste of melon rind in his mouth.
He didn't know if it was due to psychological factors, but he always felt that his stomach was getting hot for no reason. The heat slowly spread throughout his body along with the flow of blood.
As time went by, Chao Ri Xi Qiu felt his body temperature gradually rise, and even his breath seemed to carry steam. His head was dizzy from the steam.
What's going on? In this early winter, he is actually keeping himself warm... Is he really going to become a self-heating bread machine?!
"...I'm going to the bathroom." Chaori Xiqiu muttered. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and prepared to wash his face with cool water in the sink to cool down and wake up.
Perhaps it was because there were too many people in the dinner venue and it was an almost completely enclosed space, so it felt stuffy.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu staggered out of the crowd and prepared to go to a remote bathroom to get some fresh air.
This is a very large luxury cruise ship, with hanging paintings and magnificent decorations everywhere in the corridors.
Chao Ri Xi Qiu was dazzled by these bright and colorful decorations. After walking, stopping, and turning around, he finally realized that he seemed to be lost.
He was now extremely dizzy, his cheeks were completely red, there was even a hint of moisture rising from his forehead, and his entire body was hot.
Asahi Xiqiu felt that if he didn't find a way to lower the temperature, he would really turn into a bread machine.
Although I didn't know where I was going, fortunately, when I looked up, there happened to be a bathroom in front of me.
There was a sign saying "Under Maintenance" hanging on the door of this bathroom, but the dazed Asahi Xiqiu didn't notice it at all - of course, it was mainly because he was too short as a child and didn't see the sign hanging on the door.
The door was opened and Chao Ri Xi Qiu staggered in.
The bathroom has a low washbasin specially prepared for children. He turned on the faucet and splashed the cool water on his face with both hands.
The coldness made him shudder all over, and Chao Ri Xi Qiu became somewhat more sober.
He opened his eyes and looked at the glass in front of him - the blush on his face had not yet faded, and as he raised his hand, his shirt revealed his soft and white belly.
...Huh?
After a few seconds, Chao Ri Xi Qiu reacted dazedly and slowly: the clothes on her seemed to have become smaller.
After a while, Chao Ri Xi Qiu suddenly widened his eyes and gestured with his hand.
No, that's not right, it's not that the clothes got smaller, it's that he grew taller!!
What happened? Why did it suddenly start to grow faster? Is there growth hormone in the meal just now? ?
It must be the watermelon rind crystal dumpling!!
Damn it! Some unscrupulous seller must have overdosed the watermelon with growth hormones in order to increase production, which resulted in too much drug residue and affected the consumers. The effect is so exaggerated, how much of an overdose is it?
Asahi Yuaki felt resentful and indignant, and once again strongly condemned the merchants who did not abide by market order and had no moral standards - after all, the world really couldn't do without him as a store owner!
He raised his hands and tugged at the hem of his clothes, trying to cover his exposed belly. It is said that exposing belly fat can easily lead to catching a cold, and he did not want to catch a cold, because if he did, his speech would be hoarse.
However, Asahi Yuaki failed to achieve his goal of pulling his clothes to cover his belly, because now, his pants and shirt, which originally fit him well, have become visibly shorter, and seem to be getting shorter.
If you continue like this, it won't be a question of whether the clothes are short or not, but a question of whether the sportswear will turn into tights... and in the end it may even burst!
No, don't let his reputation be ruined by being naked. Although he always says that he wants to become a funny character to get rid of the main plot, it shouldn't be to this extent!
Asahi Xiqiu panted, held onto the wall, and forced himself to walk inside. He closed the cubicle door and sat down on the toilet lid.
His heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat. He felt as if the blood in his body was flowing at a high speed, and his bones were growing inside his body like bamboo shoots.
At this moment, Chao Ri Xi Qiu no longer felt like a bread machine. He felt more like a caramel steamed bun that was fermenting and expanding in a steamer, getting bigger as it heated up.
The sudden pain surged up, his eyes went dark, and he almost had the illusion of sudden death. His right hand swung in the air unconsciously, trying to find a grip.
By accident - he seemed to have pulled a watermelon vine.
The watermelon vine was attached to somewhere unknown, and when he pulled it, the tiles on the wall were also pulled off.
Before Chao Ri Xi Qiu could even complain "This tile is too fragile, is this a scam?", he saw something falling down in front of him.
What fell out of the wall was a box. A pile of clothes and leather shoes fell out of the box.
...what?
Chaohi Xiqiu tried to concentrate and looked over there, and saw pure white clothes dropped on the ground - clothes that were the size of an adult.
OMG, it turns out that pie really does fall from the sky. Is this the gift from Watermelon Jun?
Asahi Yuki was almost moved to tears. He really got what he wanted. Now all he needed was some bigger clothes.
He loosened his hands that were pulling the watermelon vine, tried hard to endure the pain bursting from his heart, and raised his hands tremblingly to start changing his clothes.
Asahi and Yuaki didn't know how they managed to hold on - they seemed to have lost consciousness for a moment.
When the pain finally subsided and consciousness returned, Chaohi Xiqiu found that his perspective had become higher, as if he had returned to the height of an adult.
Eh. It's back?
Chao Ri Xi Qiu's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body was still a little limp. After struggling to stand up, he staggered to the washbasin outside and faced himself in the mirror.
In the mirror, he has returned to his original appearance.
I have fought back, I have become an adult! Asahi Yukichi widened his eyes in surprise. Great, I can sell melons again, my melon shop that has been closed for a long time is about to reopen!
The morning sun and the evening autumn are full of vigor and enthusiasm, and they take steps outward.
Because she still had some symptoms of a low fever, before leaving, Asahi Xiqiu took a disposable mask from the tool bag in the bathroom and put it on, covering half of her face.
At this moment, he was wearing a beautiful white suit with a large white cape on the back, looking handsome and elegant.
There was a flattened hat in the box that fell from the wall, but Chaori Xiqiu was not used to wearing a hat, so he didn't take it.
Not long after leaving the bathroom, Chao Ri Xi Qiu couldn't help but feel a little sad again.
But... he hasn't even received his primary school diploma yet. He's only been in school for a month or two, and he's leaving? He's going to become an adult with a preschool education again.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Chao Ri Xi Qiu couldn't help but put his hands into his pockets, and then his fingertips seemed to touch something cold.
He pulled his hand away and saw that it was a pair of monocles.
Oh, it's pretty good. Asahi Yuqiu blinked. Watermelon-kun has good taste.
With curiosity in mind, Asahi Xiqiu put on her nose-pinched monocle and adjusted her hair while looking at the reflective metal wall in the corridor.
But before he could sort it out, he heard a scream from the other end.
“…What, the Phantom Thief Kid…!!?”
Thief Kidd, what? Where is it?
Asahi Yuqiu had never seen the Phantom Thief Kid, but had heard of his name before coming. So when he heard the name, he quickly raised his head, wanting to see what the Phantom Thief Kid looked like and who he was.
After moving his line of sight around, Chao Ri Xi Qiu didn't see anyone else nearby except the person who was screaming at the other end of the corridor.
The man was pointing forward with one hand, pointing at where he was.
Chaori Xiqiu didn't react at first, but when he looked left and right again, he was the only one here.
The man opposite was still shouting something, but his finger was pointing at him firmly.
Chaori Xiqiu stood there in silence for a moment, and in his heart he slowly typed an emoticon with a question mark pointing at himself.
...Am I, am I the Phantom Thief Kid?
the other side.
After successfully sneaking onto the cruise ship in disguise and preparing to officially change into clothes for his appearance, Kuroba Kaito discovered that the place where he had hidden his clothes before seemed to have been pried open in advance.
All that was left was a watermelon vine hanging innocently, a pure white, flattened top hat, and a pile of neatly stacked children's clothes.
Black Feather Fight:?
No bro, where is my transformation equipment???
Who took his clothes? Hey!
