The weather was great this weekend. It had been raining the past two days, and it seemed like the heavens knew everyone was going camping today, so they specially cleared up the sky, which put everyone in a good mood.
The three members of the Detective Boys were in high spirits, singing loudly on Professor Agasa's little Beetle, their smiles never fading since they got in the car.
Conan isn't as mischievous as the kids anymore; he's half-closing his eyes, looking like he's been troubled by something and hasn't slept well.
Conan got up and whispered in Professor Agasa's ear, who was driving: "Professor, about what we talked about with Ran last time, could you make me a tool to deal with this just in case?"
Dr. Agasa readily agreed: "Sure, what do you want to do?"
As Conan's close friend despite their age difference, Professor Agasa is very willing to help Conan with his request. His inventions can help people, which is his lifelong dream. Of course, money is also very important.
Conan had actually been thinking about this for a long time and had already decided what he wanted to do. With a fawning smile, he said, "For example, how about making a robot that can move and talk, and looks exactly like me?"
"Heh." Dr. Agasa still had some self-awareness. "If I knew how to make that kind of thing, I would be a billionaire by now."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the last embers of hope in Conan's heart. He sighed deeply, "That's true."
Upon arriving at the campsite, everyone took out tents and other camping equipment from the car. Fortunately, Professor Agasa hadn't forgotten to bring a tent this time.
There were two tents in total, one for the boys and one for the girls.
The girl's tent was set up quickly. It was pink and quite expensive. Her parents had prepared it for her after she said she was going camping, and she really liked the style.
The boys' tent wasn't as quick to set up, since there were more people and the tent was bigger, and there were more parts for sturdiness. But luckily there were quite a few people, and it took them a while to get it done. The boys' tent wasn't as nice as the girls' tent; it was a standard outdoor tent, brown, and Professor Agasa had used it many, many times.
Fortunately, it is sturdy and durable, which Professor Agasa likes. In his words, "Looks are secondary, functionality is the most important thing."
The words may be crude, but the principle is sound.
Now that the tent is ready and it's getting late, it's time to start preparing dinner.
Aside from a few essential items, the group brought very little or nothing else.
Since they were going to cook, they needed to set up a stove and gather firewood. In order to experience the most primitive camping, everyone decided not to use the earthen stove they had brought and instead go gather firewood first.
So Professor Agasa said to Conan and the three children, "Then Ai, Kousuke, and I will cook here. You guys go and gather some firewood."
Everyone was in high spirits, except for Conan, who quickly nodded in agreement, since his cooking skills were very poor.
Then the three firewood-gathering group couldn't wait to enter the woods and start collecting firewood.
Before the four of them went into the woods to gather firewood, Kōyū mysteriously handed Conan two bottles and said, "Conan, remember, apply the blue one to the wound to temporarily stop the bleeding, and take the red one orally to relieve the pain and also to help you concentrate. Finally, be careful in everything you do!"
Conan looked puzzled and a little angry: "Why are you giving me this? Are you cursing me?"
In response, Guangyou quickly waved his hand and said, "When have you ever seen me do anything useless?"
"Yes, just a few nights ago you scared me with a clown box. What was the point?"
On the night that Kousuke gave Ai the teddy bear, he gave Conan the gift that Conan had picked out for him, which surprised Conan. After all, he was a good brother, and there was no way he wouldn't think of giving him a gift. However, the gift was decided according to Kousuke's idea.
"Hehe." Kōyū scratched his head sheepishly and quickly pushed Conan to catch up with Ayumi and the other two. "Don't worry, you can keep it. I won't charge you for it."
"But...."
Seeing that Conan seemed to want to ask something more, Kōyū kicked Conan in the butt: "Stop babbling. I told you to take it, so take it. Hurry up and gather firewood, or you won't have anything to eat later."
After Conan left, Kōyū hummed a song and returned to Ai's side.
Professor Agasa and Ai had already unfolded the folding table for easier operation. There was a stream nearby, so Mitsuyoshi and Ai went to the stream to wash some vegetables.
The stream is crystal clear, and you can see a few fish swimming by every now and then.
"The environment is fantastic."
In big cities, the river water is so clear that you're lucky if you can even see fish in it, let alone crystal clear water.
Ai and Kōyū chatted idly as they washed the vegetables.
They could jump directly from household chores to national affairs, and they also talked a lot about celebrity gossip. However, Ai wasn't a fan of celebrities; the celebrities she knew were mostly the famous models in fashion magazines, so it was mostly Kōyū who did the talking.
While they were chatting, Kōyū saw a wild rabbit. He caught it, intending to cook it later, but Ai stopped him and released the rabbit, which Kōyū found very regrettable.
After washing the vegetables, the two strolled back slowly, enjoying the natural scenery along the way. Walking along the forest path, they felt their souls were purified, which made their already pleasant mood even better.
Professor Agasa wasn't idle, of course. He was in charge of setting up the camp and originally wanted to help chop some vegetables, but when he saw the vegetables that were completely uneven in thickness, he awkwardly scratched his head and gave up.
Back at the camp, it wasn't the first time Guangyou had cooked for the two of them, but they were as surprised as if it were the first time they had ever seen it.
