Chapter 896 Huiyuan Ai: You don’t understand at all (Innocent face)The group came out of the B&B and began to explore the village.
Onizawa Village is actually completely inconsistent with the labels of being an "ancient", "backward" and "remote" village.
The village is home to not only convenience stores, but also newly opened gift shops, small restaurants and other shops, all hidden beneath the guise of quaint homestays.
In addition to the B&B, there is also a shrine with many years of history.
Fujino was speechless about the fact that there was a shrine in such a small village.
“All I can say is that neon lights are everywhere, and there are shrines everywhere.”
This shrine doesn't usually have any extra activities. It only holds a harvest festival in September and October, and I heard that there is also Kuchikashi sake and so on.
Friends who often watch anime should all know about Kuchikamizak, which is rice wine brewed with the saliva of shrine maidens. Of course, this thing is generally not for people to drink, but for offerings.
Although there was no festival, there were still some normal daily activities.
For example, amulets or something.
Fujino didn't really believe in amulets, but the girls seemed to believe in such weird things, so he just bought a few.
…………
The forest path leading away from the shrine is covered with swaying shadows of trees and a gentle breeze.
"We have to wait until September and October for activities..."
Suzuki Sonoko walked down the stone steps, wearing a goose yellow dress with two suspenders connected to dark green interfaces, which supported and enlarged her chest, giving her a particularly lively and agile beauty.
She looked up at the sunlight behind the mottled shadows of the trees above her head and sighed helplessly: "It seems that we are here too early. If there is a festival, we can wear kimonos."
"Yes."
Huiyuan Ai was wearing khaki shorts and a light blue lace suspender loose sleeveless top. She agreed calmly, "It's only July now."
"July……"
Fujino followed behind a few girls, silently showing his dead eyes.
He remembered that it was November or December before, right?
It’s August again…
Although it has been complained about more than once, the timeline of the scientific world is still outrageous.
"Come to Kyoto when you have time!"
Ooka Hongye, who was standing by, suggested with a chuckle.
At this time, she was wearing a long dress. The delicate light pink fabric covered her chest. The light gray tulle connected the fabric in front of her chest and spread to the cuffs, covering her surging waves hazily. The light gray showed whiteness, with a hint of mysterious beauty. The overall feeling was quite elegant and noble.
She thought for a moment and continued, "We have a lot of festivals in Kyoto. If you wear a kimono, you can wear it at any time. Even if there are no events, no one will think it's strange if you go out on the street."
Sonoko glanced at Hongye and couldn't help but complain: "Yeah, after all, Kyoto is full of shrines."
"Of course, it has a long history~"
Hongye narrowed her eyes, with a charming and sly smile on her face, and took out an amulet from the bag on her back, "By the way, Fujino, I just bought you an amulet at the shrine."
Fujino took the amulet and looked at it: "Is it a peace amulet?"
Hongye hummed lightly: "You usually fight with those vicious criminals and murderers. If you are not careful, you will get hurt. I will..."
"Cough hum!"
Yuanzi coughed lightly and said, "Come to think of it, I also bought a talisman for you, Senior!"
"Um...Business Talisman?"
"Yes."
Yuanzi crossed her arms and said, "After all, you are running a shop now, and you are also a detective taking commissions, so you should do it for good luck."
“I don’t think it’s necessary.”
Hongye on the side stared at the amulet and said, "Fujino is already excellent enough. His career doesn't need any protection at all."
"is it?"
Yuanzi showed a dead fish eye: "If you ask me, Ping An is the most unnecessary. The senior can easily defeat that kind of murderer!"
"But in terms of the heart, peace is more thoughtful, right?"
"Hey, no, career is..."
Looking at the two girls debating in front of him, Fujino stood there trembling, not daring to interrupt at all.
These two together are just too scary...
How do those city brothers deal with this situation?
"Sasha..."
At this moment, Fujino suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being pulled twice.
Looking down, I saw Haibara Ai took out a pink amulet from her bag and handed it to Fujino.
"Um...you also prepared an amulet, this is..."
Fujino took a look at the pink amulet and didn't dare to look further.
Embroidered on the pink amulet were several large characters:
[Entrance guard (End knot guard)]
Will I be sentenced if I accept this little thing?
I was wondering why you, Big Sister, were completely silent.
So you were holding it in!
No wonder the miko had such an auntie smile on her face when she was selling the amulet to Ai just now!
"Yuanjieshou?!"
At this time, the garden and the red leaves also became quiet.
The two of them looked at the pink one, which seemed to be the same as the one they had just bought...
So I curiously leaned over to take a look.
Then, Sonoko couldn't help but let out a surprised cry, and then looked at Huiyuan Ai with a confused face and said strangely: "Um, Xiao Ai, do you know what it means to give the Destiny Talisman to the opposite sex?"
Upon hearing this, Huiyuan Ai looked at the two of them in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Hongye hesitated for a moment and explained, "Although it has the meaning of wishing people to find a partner, it is mostly given to the person they like, or used by couples to protect their relationship..."
"Oh, so this is what the bond talisman means?"
Huihara Ai showed a confused expression, tapped her head, and showed the innocent look of a shy little girl: "I don't know anything at all, after all, I don't understand these..."
Yuanzi: "..."
Hongye: "..."
The two of them looked at the little girl in front of them with strange expressions, and suddenly felt that this little loli was the most terrifying existence.
We don't dare to give this thing away openly.
You actually sent it directly?
"Ha ha……"
Conan next to him showed dead fish eyes and chuckled, secretly complaining in his heart: "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? I think you are pretending to understand when you don't?"
"Cough hum!"
Fujino felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. He coughed lightly and took out a string of colorful amulets from his pocket. "Well, I actually prepared amulets as well. Since you guys have given them to me, I won't wait until later. I'll return the gifts now..."
"Hongye's is Katsushiro. After all, you often participate in karuta competitions. This is a token of congratulations on your success..."
"Yours is a lucky charm, so keep it safe. Don't let a murderer target you and get you involved in a dangerous case and kidnap you."
"Eh?!"
Yuanzi said in a low voice, "I don't get into danger so often..."
Fujino smiled and didn't say much.
"Don't you know if it happens often?"
"Being kidnapped for no apparent reason, being targeted by a murderer for no apparent reason or something like that."
"These are all basic operations, okay?" Fujino secretly complained in his heart, then squatted down and touched Huihara Ai's cat head and said: "As for Ai... After all, you often catch colds since we first met, so yours is a health charm."
"Um……"
Haibara Ai nodded embarrassedly and put away the amulet.
Fujino stood up and handed another talisman to Xiaolan: "Oh, and here's Xiaolan's academic talisman."
"Me too?!"
Xiaolan was confused, and Fujino explained: "Well, it's prepared for everyone, so everyone has a share."
"What about mine!!"
Conan pricked up his ears at that and asked expectantly.
"Um... I think I forgot to buy it. Xiaolan should buy it, right?"
"what?!"
"It's okay, Conan. I got a health charm for you!"
This time it was Conan who was confused.
Xiaolan gave Conan a talisman with a loving look on her face as if she was giving a child, which made him feel a little better.
However, he couldn't help but glance at Fujino with a resentful look on his face.
Hey man, you bought all the things for the girls, so I just picked them out, right?
Am I, the high school detective Kudo Shinichi, not a human being?
Can love really disappear?
…………
It was around three o'clock, and the group came to a quaint cafe, had a cup of afternoon tea, and then strolled around the village.
Generally speaking, Onizawa Village is a slightly more prosperous small village.
The only good thing here is probably the scenery.
In other words, the village itself is a landscape.
As the sun set, everyone came to a hillside near the village.
The village was covered by the red clouds, dyeing it a sea of red. Thatched houses were scattered across the village, with green shadows flickering in between. A few cherry blossoms were floating among them and gradually withering away.
"The east wind is getting stronger and the sun is setting. A peach tree has only a few days of flowers left. I cherish its beauty tonight, but I wonder whose house the moon will fall on..."
Fujino sat on the grass, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but recall a poem from his memory in his previous life.
"Fujino-senpai, you are reciting poetry again..."
Suzuki Sonoko sat aside with her skirt folded, listening to Chinese language which she could not understand, but she felt that the rhythm of the tone was a bit like poetry.
"Ah, I remembered a poem from my hometown and I just recited it."
"By the way, Conan should know Chinese, right?"
Suzuki Sonoko directly asked Conan to join the army: "You little brat, quickly translate what you mean to me."
"Chinese poems are more complex the shorter they are, and they are difficult to translate if you don't understand their meaning, okay?"
Conan showed dead fish eyes and complained speechlessly, but looking at the fist threat of the big sister in front of him, he still used his brain to translate: "It's probably the east wind ga jiu..."
Damn it, I shouldn't have shown off the fact that I can speak Chinese.
"So that's what it means..."
Yuanzi pursed his jaw, not quite understanding.
Xiaolan, an excellent student, thought about it, took a look at the scene in front of her and commented: "I feel a bit of regret for beautiful things and a bit of emotion about the passing of time, but it is indeed quite appropriate for the scene."
"Yes, yes, it feels very beautiful and amazing!"
But Miss Suzuki is uneducated, while Miss Sonoko is beautiful and capable enough to travel the world.
Xiaolan asked curiously: "Since it is my hometown, it should be Chinese poetry, right?"
"It is indeed Chinese. To be precise, it is from the Tang Dynasty."
Fujino thought about whether there was such a person in this world, so he roughly explained: "He is just a poet of little fame. His poems are not as good as those of Li Bai and Du Fu. Of course, there is no accurate translation in Japanese."
"Speaking of my hometown..."
Ooka Momiji glanced at Fujino, blinked, and thought to herself: Your hometown should be Kyoto... But where is this poem in Kyoto... Or how can there be Chinese in Kyoto? Maybe it’s your hometown in China?
Without paying too much attention to the details, she thought about it for a while and asked curiously, "Why do I feel that this poem seems to have a hint of melancholy and homesickness?"
“I guess so…”
Fujino raised his head and said, "Come to think of it, I really want to visit China, but I just don't have the time."
"Then let's go together sometime..."
Hongye smiled slightly: "It just so happens that I am also curious about what China is like. My family has a flight route to China, so it's just right for me to take our plane to go there."
Sonoko crossed her arms and said, "We have a private jet at home, so you can take our Suzuki family's."
“It’s very troublesome to apply for international flights~”
Hongye had a foxy smile on her face: "Can your Suzuki family's plane fly to China?"
"Tsk, it's just a flight route or something!"
Fujino: "..."
You guys are always talking about private jets and airline routes, which makes me feel like I don't exist, okay?
You two young ladies are really a bit outrageous...
Xiaolan, who was standing by, also felt that the two people she knew were a little too out of touch with the masses and she couldn't get a word in when they were talking.
But he couldn't let them continue, so he coughed lightly, interrupting their bickering, and said nonchalantly: "But the scenery here is really pretty good... The east wind is getting stronger and the sun is setting, a peach tree is blooming for several days, and there happens to be a cherry blossom there, but how can cherry blossoms bloom in July... Never mind, even if it's not a peach blossom, it feels pretty good."
“Yes, the scenery is really nice.”
Fujino Yushin sighed: "Speaking of which, I have always thought that when I retire, I can build a house in a place like this and live there, and then live a leisurely retirement life."
"Building a villa is very troublesome."
Yuanzi retracted his gaze and raised his head: "Speaking of which, our family has quite a few villas, including many built in quiet places like this one!"
"Is that so?"
Hongye's eyes moved slightly, and she smiled and said, "If that's the case, it would be much more convenient. Then, Miss Yuanzi, do you have any extra villas to sell?"
"Not for sale."
Yuanzi glanced at Hongye and said, "We have reserved our holiday villa for future vacations."
At this time, a certain Ai was quietly watching the scene in front of him, and silently snatched the melon seeds from Conan's pocket and started cracking them, not seeming worried at all.
As a cat that won't be suspected by others, can I just sit back and wait for the result?
"..."
Fujino shuddered as he saw the smell of gunpowder almost overflowing the screen.
The war between the young ladies is indeed terrible...
Every time it comes to big projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, they have villas and private jets.
But regarding villas, Sonoko, are you sure that all the villas in your Suzuki family are real villas?
Fujino thought about the villa in the valley and felt a chill on his back.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the two quarreling little girls in front of him, feeling a little helpless.
What had I done to deserve such a favor? How could these two young ladies fall in love with me?
But since one of you has a villa and the other has money...
Then wouldn’t it be better if the elder sister just lived together?
Problem solved perfectly!
