The bespectacled man chuckled awkwardly and released his grip, tentatively asking with some concern, "Mr. Mori, may I take a picture of you?"
Uncle Mori nodded blankly. After receiving Uncle Mori's approval, the bespectacled man kept taking pictures with his digital camera, stopping only after taking three or four pictures.
However, apart from the bespectacled man, none of his companions recognized Uncle Mori. One of them, a stylish woman wearing a sun hat, frowned and asked, "Xiao Fen, do you know him?"
Uncle Mori's somewhat bewildered expression vanished instantly, replaced by the infatuated look one would have when seeing a beautiful woman.
Kofun introduced, "He is the Sleeping Kogoro you all know, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!"
This introduction had some effect; it seemed that the group had heard of Uncle Mori's reputation as the famous detective to some extent.
Uncle Mori ran straight to the beautiful woman, grinning foolishly, and said, "Ran, can you take a picture of us?"
Xiaolan took out her camera, rolled her eyes, and casually pressed the shutter.
After taking the photos, the beautiful woman turned her head and asked, "Mr. Mori, are you here on a case?"
"No, I'm just here for sightseeing." Uncle Mori always grants the requests of beautiful women.
Ai glanced at the beautiful woman and said, "This woman's family is very rich; all she's wearing are the latest limited editions."
Guangyou nodded knowingly, but also felt sorry for the group. If it were just Guangyou and his group having fun, it would be fine, but if they ran into other people, who knows what would happen.
"Excuse me, are you all still students?" Xiaolan asked.
Kofuji nodded: "Yes, we are fourth-year students at Namba Medical University."
In this country, doctors have a high social status. When Uncle Mori heard that the people in front of him were from medical school, he was slightly surprised and said, "So you are doctors in the future. That's a very good profession."
Koto enthusiastically introduced his idol, Kogoro Mouri, and his group.
"Mr. Mori, the lady next to you is our class beauty, Shinjo Maki."
Maki smiled, a little shyly: "Xiaofeng, don't embarrass me. Aren't you guys just saying things like 'class beauty'?"
"The pretty boy next to Maki is called Yura Tatsuhiko."
"Next up is Mitsui Mokuka, the class's happiest girl."
"I thought the short-haired beauty was Kanako Miyahara, the sunny girl in my class."
"Finally, my name is Fujiko Kota, the clown who is specifically responsible for providing foil."
Fujiko gave a brief introduction to everyone, and then continued, "All three of them have joined the art club. We brought them here to sketch at Maki's suggestion."
"Or rather, we're just following this rich young lady's demands, aren't we?" Tatsuhiko glanced at Maki beside him and chuckled. "We really have to thank you this time. You paid for everything, from the restaurant to the train tickets."
"Tatsuhiko, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?" Fujiko gave Tatsuhiko a few meaningful glances.
Ke Yan didn't appreciate it at all, and instead shrugged: "What's there to be afraid of? I only broke up with him because I don't like that about her."
Seeing that the atmosphere among the group seemed a bit off, Kousuke and Ai frowned, took a few steps back, and left the crowd.
Looking at the boundless ocean, Guangyou had felt his own insignificance in the face of nature before many times, but every time he saw it, it was so awe-inspiring.
Waves surged toward the shore in layers, and a gentle sea breeze caressed Guangyou's face. There were quite a few people on the beach, but not many compared to the total area of the beach.
Sitting on the soft sand, Kōyū asked, "Ai, have you ever gone swimming at the beach?"
"No, I was sent to the United States to study when I was a child, and then I came back. I didn't have time to play." Ai shook her head and said calmly.
After a moment of silence, Kwang-woo said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Ai suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past. I've never played it before, but I can in the future."
“That’s true.” Guangyou propped himself up with his hands behind him, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds.
The two quietly enjoyed the tranquility they hadn't experienced in a long time; there was no winery, no case.
Sometimes Guangyou thought about lying there for the rest of his life, and that wouldn't be so bad. In truth, he was just a lazy bum, and after coming into this world, he wanted to be a lazy bum even more.
He would occasionally lend a hand behind the scenes if he was interested in a case, but otherwise he would just stroll around, go out and eat at various places. He still really wanted to travel around the world.
Although I traveled to various places in my previous life, I rarely, if ever, worked as a tourist.
"Kuyou, Ai! It's time to go!"
"They're here!"
After enjoying themselves for a while, Ran called out to them. Kōyū got up, took Ai's hand, and the two walked side by side toward Ran.
We arrived at Samdanbi by car. Samdanbi is a cape that stretches two kilometers into the sea and is fifty meters high. It is said that underwater volcanic activity ten thousand years ago formed this spectacular cliff.
Because it is directly connected to the ocean, the waves of the Pacific Ocean in the Kumano Sea have sculpted a variety of beautiful sea-eroded landscapes over time.
The people came at the wrong time. If they had come to watch at high tide, they would have seen the rising tide being blown by the northeast wind and crashing against the cliff, creating thousands of piles of snow.
However, the current scene is enough to make people marvel at the greatness of nature's power.
The group arrived at a man-made rest area next to the Three-Section Wall, where they could enjoy a good view of the scenery from the railing.
Uncle Mori sat in the chair, eyes tightly closed, his face full of black lines: "Absolutely not going down there, absolutely not going!"
"What's wrong with him?" Ai leaned close to Kouyu's ear, glancing at Uncle Mori who was struggling.
Guangyou explained with a smile, "Uncle has a severe fear of heights."
Ai nodded in sudden realization: "I see."
Sandanbeki is not just for showing you this cliff, otherwise it wouldn't be one of the attractions. Below this cape, there is a deep sea cave, which was the base of the ancient Kumano navy.
At the end of the 12th century, during the Battle of Genpei in Japan, the Kumano navy assisted the Minamoto clan in their battle, thus laying the foundation for the Minamoto clan's victory and establishing the Kamakura Shogunate. Even now, the cave still contains remnants of the former naval base.
How can you come to this place and not go down and take a look?
Xiaolan pointed to a house on the other side and said, "Let's go into the cave and take a look. I heard we can take the elevator down from that house!"
"As long as we don't go up that cliff over there, everything is negotiable." Uncle Mori breathed a sigh of relief. He would never give in if it came to going up the cliff; it was a matter of principle.
"Uncle, have a sour plum, it'll refresh you and fight fatigue." Guangyou took a bayberry out of the bag and handed it to Uncle Maoli.
"No way, I'll never eat sour plums in my life." Uncle Mori shook his head like a rattle drum.
After resting for a while, the group got up and headed towards the house.
