Chapter 975 [Observation] *Crackling sounds*, *Gurgling sounds*, *Crackling sounds*
Liu Qingyao: "What a pitiful dark magician."
"Speaking of which, aren't black magicians the epitome of evil?" Sonoko Suzuki suddenly asked curiously.
“Just hearing that name makes me feel evil…” Toyama Kazuha seconded.
Heiji Hattori: "These guys are definitely villains in anime."
As Morataya listened, a slight smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
...
The sunlight was warm but not scorching, and the flowers stretched out their shapes under the warm glow, their delicate fragrance attracting many butterflies and bees.
The girl lay on a deck chair, a book covering her face to shield her from the sun, peacefully enjoying the quiet afternoon, having the garden and the fragrance of flowers all to herself.
She only took the book off her face and placed it on the small round table beside her when she heard the buzzing of bees in her ears. She then sat up, yawning.
Having been busy with tasks lately, and finally having some free time, Morataya thought about it and decided to go off the island for a while.
Moreover, she is now the only main member left in the church; even Icarus has gone to Japan.
Morataya felt a slight sense of resentment.
She got up and gave Yuna and the others a few instructions, then prepared to go to Japan.
However, before setting off, she still went to inform her godfather.
Morataya knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, she pushed it open and entered. Looking at the young man who was leisurely arranging flowers, she lowered her eyes.
Damn it, how come the Godfather is so relaxed? I'm so jealous.
"Godfather, I'm going to Japan. I'm leaving the house in your care."
R responded, trimmed the excess stems from the flower branch in her hand, and looked up at Morataya, "Why are you going to Japan too?"
Morataya gave a forced smile and said in a flat tone, "They're all over there, of course I have to go see them too."
R raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest.
Morataya coughed lightly. "I mainly wanted to see how he was doing, and also check on Icarus's condition."
"Really? So how do you plan to 'get to know' him in a reasonable way?" R asked leisurely, glancing down at her carefully designed flower arrangement.
With a hint of smugness, Morataya put one hand on her hip, and a card appeared in her hand. "I've found a suitable mission."
"Isn't he on good terms with those detectives? Wouldn't it be reasonable for him to get to know them first before getting close to him?"
R smiled and said, "Then go ahead."
"I'm leaving, bye-bye~"
Morataya waved and turned to leave.
She pulled a suitcase from the island to the airport in the United States and then took a plane to Japan.
She's such a rule-abiding person.
Morataya disembarked from the plane in Tokyo with a smile, then took the subway to Beikacho and headed straight for the Mori Detective Agency.
Mouri Kogoro: "..."
Ran Mouri: "..."
Conan Edogawa: "..."
Oh, this.
It was all planned from the start.
Liu Qingyao looked puzzled: "? So how did you suddenly develop feelings for Chino-kun? This wasn't mentioned in the content. It's so strange."
Morataya remained expressionless. "It's not sudden at all. Who doesn't like Chino-kun? Don't you like him?"
Liu Qingyao replied matter-of-factly and confidently: "The Black Organization doesn't like it."
Black team member: "???"
Why bring them up all of a sudden?
Isn't it normal that they don't like him?
I don't know you, I've never had any contact with you, and we haven't had much contact. Please don't mention it.
Morataya's lips twitched slightly.
...
Before coming to Japan, I wondered: What's so fun about this tiny island nation of Morataya?
After arriving in Japan, Morataya exclaimed: "Wow, there's so much fun! I'm reluctant to leave!"
The blonde sat by the window, her face not revealing much of the delight she felt watching the play.
Not far from the window stood two men and two women. Two of the men and women were arguing, while the other woman stood aside with her hands clasped and her head down. The other man tried to mediate, but as he tried to persuade her, he was pulled into the dispute and started cursing along with her.
Morataya listened quietly to a lot of gossip.
For example, girl A and boy A are a couple, but boy A often asks girl B out alone.
For example, girl A and girl B are good friends. Girl B knows that they are a couple, but she still accepts boy A's invitation.
For example, girl A knows about their private relationship, and in order to spite them, she secretly goes to find boy C as well.
In the end, only boy B remained, and he still had to stand by and try to mediate the fight.
Morataya chuckled. As she took a sip of coffee, she noticed girl B, who was standing beside her with her head down, suddenly pull a knife from her bag and stab boy A with lightning speed. Her expression was one of madness, and she was pointing at boy A and cursing.
"She's so wonderful, why did you still ask me out? You let her down!"
Morataya: "?"
Cool.
The next second, girl A froze, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at girl B with deep emotion, "You actually...you actually hurt him for me..."
Girl B dropped the knife in her hand and hugged Girl A tightly.
Boy B, with a blank expression and a long face, took out his phone and dialed the police without the slightest hesitation.
Those who need to go to the hospital, go to the hospital; those who need to go to prison, go to prison. Goodbye!
Morataya: "??"
That's really...cool.
The people in the theater:
"?"
"???"
What? Why is something that looks like gossip appearing on the screen?
Was it to help them relax?
That's unnecessary.
They have excellent mental fortitude; they're absolutely fantastic.
The police arrived quickly, the injured were taken to the hospital, and the assailant, along with two other people, were taken to the Metropolitan Police Department.
As the police car drove away, Merataya finished her coffee and got up to leave.
She bought a bouquet of flowers at the florist and then went to the hospital.
As soon as I arrived at the ward door, I saw that the boy A from before had been moved to this ward.
Morataya: "..." What kind of luck is this?
She was speechless for a moment, then followed the nurse into the ward. She glanced at the boy A, who wasn't completely unconscious, and then walked past him to the bed next to his.
Placing the flowers in her hand into a vase, Morataya sat on a chair by the bed, gazing at the boy lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.
Because of his illness, his face was always pale and rarely had a rosy complexion.
Morataya sighed softly, muttering to herself, "I wonder how much longer I can hold on..."
After a moment of silence, she reached out and took the boy's slightly cool hand in hers, gently stroking the back of his hand with her fingertips.
A faint incantation appeared on the back of the boy's hand.
Morataya erased the incantation and then drew a new one on it.
The incantation is formed.
She breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the boy who would take quite some time to wake up, and got up to go to the restroom.
After she left her seat, the boy A in the next bed moved.
Ignoring his injuries, he got up and got out of bed, a syringe in his hand.
He injected the liquid from the syringe into the boy's body, then stared intently at the back of his hand.
The newly drawn incantation dimmed slightly in an instant.
After confirming the liquid was effective, he immediately left the ward, where he happened to run into Morataya, who was returning, and then they passed each other.
Morataya glanced back at his back with a puzzled look, instinctively feeling something was off. She quickly returned to the ward to check on the boy's condition and noticed that the runes on his hand had dimmed again. Her face darkened.
She gritted her teeth.
"Those guys from Death, how dare they fake my death!"
With a cold face and expressionless demeanor, Morataya redrawn the incantation, then told someone to watch over the boy before turning and quickly leaving.
The Death people deliberately put on a show in front of her to cater to her spectator mentality and lower her guard, allowing the injured person to get close to the boy and inject him with a potion to neutralize the spell.
As for why it was at this time?
Of course, it's because the spell needs some time to take effect. Although the time is short, it's enough time for them to tamper with it if they seize the opportunity.
Morataya was furious.
How outrageous! Watching a play can mislead people!
But I'll watch it again next time.
She went to the Metropolitan Police Department and found that the "Death-brand actors" were long gone, but boy B was still there because he was still considered a normal person.
Morataya: "..."
People who have died are not so easy to find.
Unable to find the person, Morataya had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill, but she remembered it and planned to take revenge later!
She was so angry she wanted to pull out her scepter and smash it on someone!
Before Morataya could calm down, on her way back to the hospital, she encountered a young man with long, red, curly hair and a sinister-looking cobra hanging from his body.
"..." She stared at him expressionlessly.
Seeing red hair immediately reminds me of members of Death.
The thought of Death's members makes her want to smash someone.
Her resentment alerted the other party.
The young man turned to look at her in surprise, and took a big step back as if he were frightened.
Morataya: "?"
She quickly composed herself and gave the other person a friendly and apologetic smile.
The red-haired youth blinked, grabbed the cobra's head to cover his face, and then quickly left the area as if fleeing for his life.
Morataya paused for two seconds, then continued walking towards the hospital.
Everyone: "..."
I see.
It's a conspiracy.
Chuan Shengzhen looked at Morataya with a hesitant expression, wanting to say something but unable to.
Morataya's lips twitched slightly, her tone cold, "Just say what you want to say. The way you're looking at me is like you're pricking me with needles."
Kawasaki Machi cleared his throat lightly. "It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to enjoy watching the show so much."
"You don't like it?" Morataya glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
Kawasaki Machi paused for a moment, then honestly said, "No, I like it."
"..."
...
Morataya didn't take the red-haired youth she had met before seriously, but she didn't expect to run into him again just a few days later.
When she saw him, Morataya glanced at his handsome face a few more times.
However, when the other person saw her, they silently took a step back.
Morataya: "?"
The elegant and sweet-looking girl, who was also self-aware, wouldn't have it. She stepped forward with her ornate retro parasol, smiled at him, and asked, "Hello, am I scary?"
The young man's cheeks flushed slightly, and he covered the cobra's head, taking two steps back. "No, I was just afraid that Benshan would scare you."
Motosugi:...?
I'm just a snake used to cover my face; would I deliberately scare people?
Unfortunately, Benshan was just a snake, and his bad mood was written all over his face. After breaking free from his master's hand, he rested his head on his master's shoulder.
Morataya accepted the reason and apologized to him for her rude behavior a few days earlier.
After all, it was she who glared at others for no reason first.
The young man smiled shyly, "It's alright."
Morataya asked him his name.
Young man: "You can just call me Asa."
Morataya nodded and used her chosen neon name, "My name is Kuno Nayazuki."
The two started chatting casually and even went to Asa's coffee shop to drink coffee and talk.
Molataya, holding Benshan's tail, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This is the first time I've ever met someone who keeps a King Cobra as a pet and carries it with them at all times."
Asa was a little embarrassed and patted Benshan's head. "No, although I've had many pets, Benshan has been with me since it was a puppy, so it's a bit clingy."
Morataya nodded knowingly, "It's quite rare for a snake to be so clingy."
“Benshan is somewhat human-like,” Asa said softly.
Morataya smiled and nodded. "I can tell."
The two chatted for a long time, going through countless cups of coffee, discussing everything from poetry and literature to the philosophy of life (not really).
Morataya only took her leave when the sky darkened.
Liu Qingyao: "So this short segment mainly tells the story of how an evil witch harasses a shy young man."
Morataya: "...?"
Asa: ?
"Pfft..." Kawasaki Machi quickly covered his mouth, his two beautiful light purple eyes full of innocence.
Sorry, I couldn't hold it in.
Morataya held back for a long time, "So Liu Qingyao, can you please teach your mouth a lesson?"
Liu Qingyao: "How can you discipline someone? Once their mouth grows up, it's no longer under the control of their brain."
"..."
I couldn't hold back anymore.
Kuang Kuang cast a silencing spell.
Liu Qingyao: "..."
Are you satisfied now? You bunch of bastards, I speak for my words, I will never forgive you!
Qianzhu pursed her smiling lips and stuffed some snacks into Liu Qingyao's mouth, who was full of resentment.
Liu Qingyao's eyes lit up.
Great idea! Make a lot of noise while eating snacks and kill them!
Faced with Liu Qingyao's thumbs-up, Qianzhu lowered her head and raised her hand to cover the smile on her lips.
Then--
A series of clicking, gurgling, and crackling sounds filled the theater.
Everyone: "..."
The blue Yeye, perched on Qianzhu, looked up in confusion, then grabbed a bag of potato chips and joined the snapping team.
Even with sleepy eyes, Bertrand suddenly felt a bit hungry.
The clicking sounds grew louder.
Morataya: "..."
Chuan Shengzhenzhi burst out laughing, as if someone had tapped his funny bone from afar.
Kawasaki Masuru steadied him, afraid that he might accidentally bump his head on the table while laughing.
Everyone: "..."
It's so noisy. (Sigh.JPG)
