"How are you two?"

The man holding the golden cane took off his hat and asked with concern, his playfully curled goatee seemed to be stained with some worry.

After making sure that Dazai Osamu and Mao Lilan were standing firmly, Roald Dahl let go of their arms.

Dazai noticed that the short people seemed to have moved away from this place and hid behind the bushes made of bubble gum and chocolate. This change made him raise his eyebrows slightly.

Gogol, dressed in white as a magician, and Conan Doyle, the oldest of the visitors, who were standing in the distance, seemed to have noticed this. The little clown grinned a somewhat neurotic smile, and the old detective tapped his cane lightly on the marshmallow ground, looking thoughtful.

"I'm sorry my staff has caused you trouble."

Although Dazai Osamu caught Mao Lilan in time, the girl's skirt was inevitably stained with some chocolate. The brown stains were very conspicuous on the light blue skirt.

Seeing the traces of chocolate on Mouri Ran's skirt, Conan Edogawa suddenly had an idea, but before he could open his mouth, the young man standing next to the girl suddenly and devoutly held Mouri Ran's hand.

How could Shinichi agree to his girlfriend being held by someone else, even if that person was the one who just saved Xiaolan?

But before the shrunken detective could pretend to be a child to attract Mouri Ran's attention, he was caught off guard by the words from the young man in the light-colored windbreaker that almost made him slip.

If Roald Dahl hadn't quickly grabbed his collar, Conan Edogawa would have really fallen into the chocolate waterfall.

"My beautiful lady, are you willing to die with me?"

At first, Mao Lilan thought she had heard it wrong, but when she came to her senses, she saw the young man opposite her looking at her expectantly, and she almost subconsciously used her karate skills.

But when she thought about how she was about to thank the brave young man, she stopped herself.

"I'm afraid, uh, I'm afraid that's not going to work."

There is no doubt that this poor lady is a good person. Nakajima Atsushi looked at Mouri Ran with tears in his eyes, feeling pain and relief that Dazai Osamu was not beaten to death today.

However, Nakajima Atsushi seemed to be happy too early. Seeing that his plan of committing suicide for love failed, Dazai Osamu sighed ostentatiously, but did not give up the idea of ​​swimming in the chocolate waterfall.

"But this river looks really beautiful. I think it would be a good place to go swimming."

No, you don't want to! Nakajima Atsushi screamed madly in his heart, no one in the world would be allowed to dip into chocolate syrup!

He was almost ready to rush forward and pull Dazai down no matter what, but Roald Dahl's words saved him.

"That's probably not going to work, Mr. Dazai."

The ageless man held the golden cane in front of him for support, and his whole body was leaning towards Dazai Osamu, as if he was performing some movement in a passionate and lively dance.

Nakajima Atsushi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with a reliable adult stepping in, he wouldn't have to "sacrifice himself" to stop his senior's personal hobby.

But obviously, he relaxed too early.

As the owner of a candy factory, Roald Dahl actually had a serious discussion with Dazai Osamu about why the chocolate waterfall was not suitable for suicide.

"The chocolate syrup is so thick that it takes a while for it to sink, and it will probably get stuck in the siphon downstream."

The smile on Dazai Osamu's face did not change at all, or rather, he was vaguely expecting something. However, Nakajima Atsushi, who was closest to him at this time, could feel that what Dazai Osamu was expecting at this time had changed to something else.

"The most important point is that no murder will happen here."

The man with the playful goatee said this, turning around and opening his arms to the visitors at the foot of the cotton candy hill.

"Welcome to my kingdom

. "

The air fell into silence for a few minutes because of these words, but this silence was soon broken by the creator himself.

Roald Dahl put his overly tall chocolate hat back on, waved his cane and laughed.

"Explore freely, children, cheer, jump for joy, let us freely taste every plant and tree here!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, with an unquestionable tone.

Nakajima Atsushi trudged the ground under his feet nervously, but he found that Dazai Osamu had been standing next to him since some point.

But he had to admit, maybe because the young man in the windbreaker was standing next to him, he felt that he could breathe in this environment.

Even though he is a person with special abilities, Nakajima Atsushi looks like a little lamb that has strayed into a pack of wolves when facing visitors other than the group of Mouri Ran and Edogawa Conan.

The atmosphere around the man codenamed Gin became visibly solemn.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the petite orange-haired port mafia officer glanced at them without emotion, and when he caught a glimpse of Dazai Osamu's smile, he turned his head away as if he had seen something disgusting.

Something had changed when Roald Dahl uttered that sentence, and something had not changed at all.

The combination of the American tycoon and the mysterious little ugly man is still superficially harmonious, and they don't even bother to keep the pretense of cooperation, and they are completely doing their own things.

The two British duo remained silent. The sturdy sailor stood in front of the elderly detective in a protective manner. The deerstalker hat blocked the old detective's sharp eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Everything seems very calm and harmonious, but a strong sense of crisis suddenly erupts in Conan Edogawa's heart. He can't let Xiaolan stay in this pile of time bombs any longer.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm a little scared. Just now I was really..."

There is no need to look back. Kaionji Suyu, who plays Roald Dahl, also knows that Edogawa Conan is playing a child again. Although he has only been a child for a short time, it is obvious that Kudo Shinichi's acting skills have already reached perfection.

But this was exactly what Haiyin Temple's upstream tour was thinking of. For ordinary people, it was indeed a bit dangerous, so he had specially prepared a suitable formation for the two of them.

"That's right." Ran Mouri had no doubt that Edogawa Conan would be frightened. After all, she herself was frightened by those people of a strange nation just now.

Although it was not polite to describe Mr. Roald Dahl's employees like this, she still felt in her heart that such an experience was not suitable for children.

She immediately turned to Roald Dahl. Although she was a little shy, it was clear that she was very determined: "Mr. Dahl, are there any attractions more suitable for children? This place may not be suitable for Conan."

"Of course, this was our mistake." The man in the purple tuxedo made a "please" gesture.

He casually tapped the bush next to him with his golden cane, and a complete chocolate-covered berry tree stood up from the marshmallow grass and walked around unsteadily.

"It's a high-tech product, which you can understand as an intelligent mimicry robot." Seeing the girl's hesitation, the man explained fluently.

The moving chocolate-berry tree looks equally incredible, but it's more believable than the harmless-looking so-called intelligent robot, which was painted all over the body.

Naturally, Mao Lilan agreed to this proposal, but Edogawa Conan was determined to go with them. Although the detective still wanted to stay here and gather some information in the identity of a child.

However, in order not to cause trouble to others, it was impossible for Conan Edogawa to do anything that went against the character of a child under Gin's nose. Even though he looked back every few steps, he was still taken away by his current guardian.

"Well, gentlemen, let us proceed."

After watching Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa disappear into the layers of cotton candy bushes, the man named Roald Dahl turned around.

He turned around and announced to the rest of the people.

I don’t know if it was Nakajima Atsushi’s illusion, but even though he was standing next to the steaming chocolate waterfall, he still felt a little cold around him.

Just as the little tiger was looking around anxiously, something warm was stuffed into his hands.

It was a cup of hot chocolate freshly scooped from a river of chocolate.

The owner of the chocolate factory, who had a very unique working style, took out a glass from somewhere, and as if he saw what Nakajima Atsushi was thinking at the moment, he handed the quilt to him in a comforting manner.

"Drink this and maybe you'll feel better, kid."

Roald Dahl had a temperament that made Nakajima Atsushi feel very contradictory. At this time, the man looked like an intimate and reliable elder.

But some of his words and actions just now showed a childlike innocence and vitality, which unexpectedly matched Nakajima Atsushi's fantasy of this great candy master.

"Come aboard, gentlemen. The Oompa-Loompas have prepared boats for us. Choose whichever you like."

The remaining eight people looked in the direction of Roald Dahl's cane and saw four very pink and dreamy ships docked at the shore.

However, at the moment Roald Dahl finished speaking, a white figure appeared on the only white boat with a relatively normal color scheme.

It was that ugly-dressed young man who, by some unknown means, was the first to grab that one.

But from Nakajima Atsushi's perspective, he found that when he saw the young man in white chose the white ship, the man in the lavender velvet tuxedo suddenly revealed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

For some reason, the atmosphere on the Mafia duo's side became even more depressing. The two high-ranking Mafia officials looked at each other expressionlessly and walked towards the purple ship tacitly.

Nakajima Atsushi and Dazai Osamu were the closest to the ship among the remaining two groups, but when he saw that there was an old man in the British group, Nakajima Atsushi slowed down his pace suddenly.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the young man in the light-colored windbreaker slowed down his pace.

After Daniel Defoe and Conan Doyle boarded the sky blue ship, Nakajima Atsushi and Dazai Osamu only had the pink one to choose from.

Although he didn't want to choose this, Nakajima Atsushi still walked up with a vigorous look like a hero cutting off his own arm, which made Dazai Osamu laugh out loud.

Once on board, he discovered that the boats were made of transparent materials, and he could even see the chocolate river flowing beneath his feet.

The fresh strawberry aroma emanating from the hull made him unsure whether the boat was made of a whole piece of fruit candy or glass with fruit aroma.

What surprised him most was that there were only four ships now. Nakajima Atsushi was a little curious whether Roald Dahl would not join them next?

He was about to stick his head out to take a look when someone patted him on the shoulder. It was at this moment that he realized that the man in the lavender velvet tuxedo had sat down next to him, opposite Dazai Osamu.

The white-haired boy was startled at once, but the senior member of the Armed Detective Agency sitting opposite him was obviously much calmer than him. He even took out a glass from under the seat skillfully and began to enjoy the hot chocolate.

Looking at Dazai Osamu who was unusually calm, Nakajima Atsuya almost cried out and couldn't help but wonder if he was too nervous.
