Chapter 103 Until the Sea Turns Blue - Little Dolphin Teacher Dolphin, This Time...
Two days later, on the ship.
"Wuhu~ I yearn for freedom~ I want to fly to the sky!"
A figure floated past like a whirlwind.
The figure was wearing a floral halter dress, a loose French shirt, brown leather shoes, and large tinted sunglasses.
She raised her hands high, holding up a small figure. The figure had short brown hair that was blown by the wind. The figure was also wearing sunglasses and looked expressionless.
The leather shoes made a thumping sound as they ran on the deck. The girl lifted Haibara Ai up and ran from the left side of the deck to the right side, and then from the right side to the left side. She looked energetic and had amazing arm strength.
Conan's mouth twitched as he looked at the two of them speechlessly.
Please, please... Even if there are only a few of them on the boat now, you can't let yourself go like this, Sister Lin!
Xiaolan next to her said happily: "Ah, Miss Lin is really lively."
Maori Kogoro also nodded: "It's better to be lively! Young people should be more energetic like this!"
Conan: ...
He held his forehead speechlessly.
He felt that ever since Xiaolan experienced the last Yokohama Ocean Park incident and learned that Lin Xi also helped the uncle resolve the bomb crisis, she has had a very thick filter towards Lin Xi.
Uncle is also...
The uncle was completely won over by Lin Xi's little desserts. Last night he even told them that if they encountered any problems they could ask Lin Xi for advice as she was more stable.
steady?
When Conan heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Uncle, please open your eyes and take a look. Does this word have anything to do with Sister Lin?
You can't lie with your eyes open just because Sister Lin's desserts are delicious!
Look at her now! Being steady has nothing to do with her at all. It has absolutely nothing to do with her at all!
Sister Lin would pretend to be a bit of a lady when she was around someone she didn't know, but once she got to know them well, she would completely let herself go.
Just like now, seeing that there is no one else on the boat, I step on the deck with my leather shoes on and my little one holding my hand and shouting...
Oh, the reason why there are only a few of them on such a big boat is because the boat has been chartered by Lin Xi.
The girl's original words were:
"Ah, too many people won't do, and neither will an expensive boat; it's too prone to accidents. If I charter a luxury yacht, I don't know if we can make it to the other side."
As he spoke, he glanced at Conan with a subtle look.
Conan:?
He really isn't an accident-prone person!
Even if it is true, it’s not as exaggerated as Sister Lin said!
Conan felt aggrieved and swore that no accidents would happen on this trip to Moon Shadow Island!
.
"It's so lively over there."
Lin Xi took Xiao Ai's hand and led her down from the deck.
"Yeah." Xiaolan said, "It seems like there's some kind of event going on."
"I really came to the right place," Lin Xi said happily. "Miss Lan, the scenery here is really nice. Look, the view of the sea from here is different from that from the boat! From here, the water seems to be even bluer."
"This place is perfect for scouting for scenery and painting! Plus, it's much more lively here than I imagined."
"I thought there wouldn't be any group activities on such a remote island, but I didn't expect to see one right after I got off the boat!"
Lin Xi, who likes to join in the fun, became excited.
"Oh, go ahead, you young people, just go and have fun—"
Maori Kogoro slumped his shoulders and uttered the voice of a middle-aged office worker: "I'm going to the community center to see who my client is. Really, these guys just like to make riddles..."
"Dad!" Xiaolan grabbed Kogoro's arm, trying to cheer him up a little, then turned to Lin Xi and said embarrassedly: "Ms. Lin, I'll go with Dad. I'll ask you to take Conan around the island."
Conan:?
No, he wants to investigate!
Just as he was about to protest, Lin Xi picked him up and dragged him away.
"Children should behave like children. Why are you running, Xiao Ke? What's the matter? Don't you trust Mr. Maori's ability to detect cases?"
Lin Xi suddenly moved closer, staring at him with honey-colored eyes, her expression full of teasing, and she said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Mr. Mori has become quite famous lately. Who among those who read the newspapers doesn't know the famous detective 'Sleeping Kogoro'? It's said that every time he's working a case, he suddenly staggers over, then sits down as if asleep, and then begins his brilliant deductions."
"How should I put it, it's like he's become a completely different person. It sounds amazing, I've never seen him before. Conan has been with Mr. Maori, so he must have seen him many times, right?"
Conan's heart tightened, and he said with a forced laugh, "Ahahaha, yes...Uncle, uncle is really amazing."
"So you have to trust him. Adult matters should be left to adults to handle. Those of us who are traveling here together shouldn't cause any more trouble!"
Lin Xi smiled and held a little kid's hand, then turned around and asked, "Xiao Ai, don't you agree?"
Haibara Ai held back her laughter, glanced at the listless Conan, and nodded.
Sister Lin is right.
You've already become smaller, why do you always like to jump on the table?
——Children should act like children.
No matter what Edogawa thought, she was enjoying it.
A few people walked into the noisy place and took a look. It turned out that a group of young people were promoting environmental protection.
They are both men and women, young and energetic, and the vitality they exude is out of place on this remote island.
Lin Xi was a little surprised: "Strange, why would someone do this here?"
It stands to reason that the publicity effect would be better in big cities.
This place is so remote, it seems that there are not many people here, and not many tourists. Why would you think of promoting environmental protection here?
But it looks interesting.
They used a dolphin as their logo. Everyone wore a dolphin hat and armband, and a large banner hung above their heads:
Protecting the ocean is everyone’s responsibility
Seeing Lin Xi coming over, a young woman came up to greet him enthusiastically: "Hello! Are you interested in marine conservation?"
"If you're interested, come take a look! Here you can learn about the significance and value of protecting the ocean and receive a lovely souvenir."
She held up the little dolphin doll on the table and showed it to Lin Xi and the two children she was holding.
Although the little dolphin doll is just a cotton product mass-produced for promotional purposes, its workmanship is not crude.
The cute little dolphin has its tail raised, big eyes, and two cute red spots around its eyes.
Lin Xi:!
My heart is moved.
She immediately lowered her head and asked the two children:
"Are you interested? Do you want a doll?"
She blinked her bright honey-colored eyes at them, her desire clearly written on her face: Come on, tell me you want it! Because...
She really wanted it.
Conan: ...
It’s true. It looks like there are two children and one adult here, but it’s actually two adults and one child.
He wouldn't like this kind of thing. Only someone like Xiaolan would be interested in this kind of thing...
Thinking of this, he suddenly blushed, turned his face away awkwardly, and said:
"want to."
Today is also a day of saying one thing and doing another, Xiao Ke.
Of course, Huiyuan Ai also said decisively: "I want it."
Who wouldn’t like a little dolphin stuffed animal?
The young girls excitedly told them the importance of environmental protection, how individuals can protect the environment, and their "Little Dolphin Association"'s contribution to environmental protection.
Lin Xi listened patiently, agreeing from time to time, which made the girl who had finally caught a living person on the island even more excited.
After saying that, she drank some water, handed the little dolphin to the three of them, and introduced another activity to them:
"We have other merchandise here, like stickers and hats designed by our Little Dolphin Association. However, you've already received the Little Dolphin stuffed animal. If you want to receive other merchandise, you'll need to participate in our environmental protection activities!"
"Hmm?" Lin Xi blinked, "What activity?"
She had wanted a cute little dolphin hat for a long time, but she had never been brave enough to ask.
Now you can participate in the event!
That……
Teacher Dolphin, our Xiao Ai and Xiao Ke will definitely participate in this event!
"Just take this yellow trash bag and the tongs we give you, go to the beach and pick up trash, and fill the bag!" the girl said with a smile. "The event will last for three days, and we'll be here all three days. As long as you collect enough trash within three days, you can come back to us to exchange it for your trash anytime~"
"Okay!" Lin Xi took the garbage bag and garbage tongs.
"Wait, miss, if you don't mind, we have extra armbands here. You can wear them when you pick up trash!"
"Well, because you're really cute, the type that everyone notices right away. If you were a temporary ambassador for this, maybe other people would become more interested in environmental protection!"
Lin Xi: "Of course!"
Oh, the young lady is so sweet-talking that she feels a little embarrassed.
She raised her arm to facilitate the girl's movements, looked at the girl and the men and women behind her, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"But why did you choose to promote here? I don't see many tourists here, and even local residents are rare."
"Ah, well," the girl said, pinning her armband on and looking up, "we're actually university students from Tokyo. We organized an environmental protection association on our own, but we're not very well-known."
"As for why we chose this place, it actually has something to do with Mr. Shimizu Masato, the candidate for village chief."
"Mr. Shimizu has been committed to marine conservation and has provided a lot of help to our Little Dolphin Association, both financially and with resources."
"Also, the factory approved by President Kuroiwa is causing significant pollution on the island. It's severely damaging the local fishing grounds and the surrounding ocean, affecting the livelihoods of the fishermen. So, members of our Little Dolphin Association came here after discussing it."
The girl's expression darkened as she spoke. "We know there's a limit to what the Little Dolphin Association can do. We might not be able to change the decision to build a factory on the island, restore the environment, or improve the lives of the fishermen here—"
"——But we're here anyway." The young man who had been listening to their conversation from behind spoke up and gave Lin Xi a friendly smile. "Miss, and the two lovely children, since you're here on Moon Shadow Island, don't think too much. Just enjoy the scenery here."
"As for the lack of local residents you mentioned, it's actually because most of them are marching in front of the community center. Some are also there preparing for the third anniversary of the former village chief's death, so there aren't many people on the streets."
The boy answered Lin Xi's doubts.
"I see……"
Lin Xi touched his chin and was about to say goodbye when he heard a propaganda vehicle with a loud speaker passing by them.
A banner with the words "Shimizu Masato" was hung on the car, and a large speaker on the roof was constantly playing:
"Please vote for Shimizu Masato! Please vote for Shimizu Masato..."
Lin Xi stared at the car speeding by in astonishment and asked hesitantly, "Ah. So they are..."
"Campaigning for votes in the village chief election."
The boy was a little embarrassed, "Usually Moon Shadow Island is very quiet."
Beautiful environment, fresh air, quiet streets, no noise... this is what Moon Shadow Island should be like.
Instead of like now...
Thinking of this, the boy lowered his head.
