After soaking for half an hour, Guangyou changed into his pajamas and came out of the bathroom.
As he passed by Ran's room, he overheard Kazuha complaining and instinctively turned to look into the room.
The door wasn't closed, and Kōyū could see Kazuha and Ran sitting on the edge of the bed, tidying up the clothes they had bought that day, while Ai was sitting at the desk, flipping through a novel.
"Honestly, I even bought him a T-shirt that would fit him perfectly." Kazuha picked up the shopping bag next to her, reached inside, and prepared to take out the T-shirt.
"Alright, they couldn't come back because they were involved in a case," Xiaolan said, putting the clothes she was holding aside. "You know what kind of people they are."
"I know, I was just venting," Kazuha said with dissatisfaction. "That arsonist is really something. I hope the police can catch him soon."
"Snap~"
As Kazuha took the T-shirt out of the shopping bag, a square box was pulled out of the bag along with the T-shirt and fell to the floor.
The noise attracted the attention of several people in the room.
Ai, who was reading a novel, subconsciously glanced at the thing that had fallen to the ground, but only glanced at it before turning back to continue reading.
As she turned around, Ai caught a glimpse of Kousuke standing at the door.
Thinking about what she had just said, for some reason, even though the window had been closed, Ai still felt her cheeks getting slightly hot.
No matter what, she's just a girl with no dating experience.
For Ai Haibara, those words, which were almost explicit, were harder to say than "I like you."
Smiling at Ai, Kōyū didn't enter the room. Instead, he knocked on the door a few times with his knuckles and asked, "Ran-neechan, may I come in?"
Even though the door is open, you still can't skip the step of knocking before entering someone's room.
"Of course." Xiaolan nodded to Guangyou, then looked at the keychain on the ground that said "May your business prosper" and said, "Oh, so this is it."
"Ran, do you know where this keychain came from?" Kazuha got up from the bed, bent down to pick up the keychain, and then sat back down on the edge of the bed.
After examining the keychain, Kazuha said with a puzzled look, "It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I got it from."
"Have you forgotten? This keychain was given to us by a very kind-looking uncle on the bus on the way back." Xiaolan remembered it clearly and explained it to He Ye.
Ran's mention reminded Kazuha: "It was that uncle who gave us his seat because he saw that our things looked heavy."
"Yes, he gave it to me," Xiaolan nodded and said.
While the two were discussing, Kousuke had already walked over to Ai, and Ai closed her book, turned to the side, and looked at Kousuke with her icy blue eyes.
With Ran and Kazuha nearby, Kōyū naturally wouldn't say anything inappropriate for the occasion.
Out of the corner of his eye, Kōyū glanced at the keychain on Kazuha's hand and suddenly felt it looked familiar. He asked, "Ai, do you remember what kind of man gave you the keychain?"
Recalling what happened on the bus back this afternoon, Ai said softly, "I remember, the man said he was in the antique business in Beika Town and hoped we could go there to take a look when we had time."
"The antique business?" Upon hearing this keyword, Kōyū remembered that this was the man who went to Ryōko's house to sell antiques.
He is also one of the suspects in the arson case.
“Yes.” Ai nodded and continued, “That man also gave me a catalog of his shop’s products, and that keychain.”
Upon hearing this, Guangyou confirmed his earlier thought.
The keychain that Kazuha has now was definitely given to her by that salesman.
Although he was one of the arson suspects, based on what Xiaolan told him, the man's suspicion was quite low, at least on the surface.
"But what could be inside?" Kazuha opened the box containing the keychains and poured the keychains into her hand.
The moment the keychain was taken out, Kwang-woo's attention was immediately drawn to it.
The keychain is entirely red and features a person riding a horse.
The horse raised its right foreleg, as if it wanted to neigh.
The man riding on its back carried a crescent-shaped blade and had a long beard.
The moment Guangyou saw the keychain, he recognized it. With such obvious physical features, it would be hard not to recognize it. He said, "Isn't this Guan Yu, Lord Guan Er?"
"Speaking of Guan Yu, isn't he the general from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" He Ye had an impression of Guan Yu, but he wasn't very familiar with him.
"Yes, I heard that Guan Yu is also a god who brings prosperity to businesses," Xiao Lan explained to He Ye, holding the Guan Yu keychain.
"Guan Yu is not only a god of war, but also a god of wealth." Guangyou looked at the keychain and added, "He can cure diseases and ward off disasters, exorcise evil spirits, punish traitors... and he has many other abilities as well."
"Kuangyou, you really know a lot about this." Kazuha looked at Kuangyou in surprise and asked, "Then Kuangyou, why is Guan Yu riding this horse? Is this horse special?"
"It's very special. This horse is called Red Hare. It's a divine steed as fierce as a tiger, and it can run over a thousand miles a day."
After a slight pause, Kōyū explained to Kazuha, "There's a saying, 'Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare,' which means an exceptionally outstanding genius, one in a million."
"Is it that amazing?" Kazuha said in surprise.
“Yes.” Guangyou nodded with a smile and said, “That’s how it’s recorded in the Records of the Three Kingdoms. No one has ever seen the real Red Hare, since those who did are long gone.”
“That makes sense.” Kazuha looked at the Guan Yu keychain in Ran’s hand, closed his eyes, put his hands together, and said, “Then I’ll have to go and pray for it later.”
"Are you praying for blessings by looking at your keychain?" Ran teased with a smile, seeing that Kazuha was about to pray for blessings. "If you want to pray for blessings, you should go to a temple dedicated to Guan Yu."
"Hehe..." Kazuha opened her eyes and laughed awkwardly, "Then when we have time later, Ran, let's go to the Guan Gong Temple to pray for blessings."
"Sure," Xiaolan nodded in agreement without much thought.
Listening to their conversation, Ai turned her head and glanced at the keychain, muttering to herself, "A blessing... I might try it later, hopefully it will work."
Hearing something faintly, Kōyū turned his head, looked at Ai, and asked, "Ai, what's useful?"
"It's nothing," Ai said softly, shaking her head.
