Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 207
What was performed in the theater today was Broadway's signature play "Les Misérables". Coupled with the powerful stage effects, the actors used their skillful acting skills to present an audio-visual feast to the audience. It was the first time for Xiao Ai and Xiao Ai to watch a stage play. Kosaki was hooked.

It was also his first time to experience the theater. Hiroki was deeply shocked after watching the play. He never imagined that the protagonist of the story could finally regain his sense of justice despite being treated so unfairly and cruelly. That innocent heart brings hope of life to others.

Seeing that the concept of "true love exists in the world" was expressed all the time in the story, he felt that the thoughts of self-destruction he had previously had seemed a bit too cowardly. He had never tried to resist, so why did he give up so easily?Is my situation even more miserable and desperate than that of Jean Valjean in the story?

Maybe he can attribute everything to the fact that Jean Valjean was lucky enough to meet the kind and loving Bishop Millie at the most desperate time, while he suffered the misfortune of being abandoned by his biological father and being used by his adoptive father. The two situations were completely different. .

But if Jean Valjean had not always held on to the hope of living, then he would never have been able to wait for the opportunity to meet Bishop Millie, nor would he have been able to obtain spiritual salvation.

Thinking of this, Hiroki turned to look at the Ishino family beside him, thinking of the sisters who cheered him on at the last moment on the plane, and the couple who invited him, a small fire burned in his heart. Light up quietly...

"What a wonderful performance! Whether it is the arrangement of the story or the effect of the performance, it is many times better than watching it on TV. What do you think, Shi-kun?" After the performance ended, Natsumi walked on the way to leave. sighed.

"Well, it is indeed extraordinary." Looking at his daughters who were walking in front of him and still discussing the plot, Ishino nodded and responded, "You can tell just by looking at Xiao Ai and Xiao Saki's unfinished expressions."

After saying that, he glanced at a certain Shinigami primary school student walking at the end who seemed to have just woken up. He was a little surprised that he had not encountered a case so far today.

It stands to reason that cases are most likely to be triggered when Conan is bored. Is it possible that Ke Xueli has a rule that no murder will occur again in the same place?Or is it that yesterday's terrorist attack was a very large mission, and there will be a period of safety after that?
Of course, no matter what, he would be happy to avoid encountering embarrassing cases. He hoped that this journey could be spent peacefully.

……

It seemed that the world's will was to reward Ishino for his previous achievements. In the next few days, the group really spent a relaxing and happy holiday without any incident.

In the past few days, Belmore took everyone to visit almost all the tourist attractions near New York. Various entertainment projects that made people happy were also endless. Even Ishino had to admire her attentiveness. It seemed that Aunt Sharon really puts a lot of thought into the people closest to her.

This day was the day that Hiroki and his adoptive father Thomas made an appointment to go home in the evening, so everyone took him to Coney Island Luna Theme Park early in the morning, planning to play until the evening before going to the McGrady that President Thomas had booked for everyone. Dinner at No. 11 Sun Park Restaurant.Hiroki Sawada, who has never been to a large amusement park, was at first overwhelmed by the overwhelming number of rides in the park. However, with the recommendations of Xiao Ai, Xiao Saki and Conan, he began to try them one by one, gradually releasing his childish nature. It seems like I have found my lost childhood here.

When the roller coaster reached its highest point and began to dive rapidly, the feeling of weightlessness made him experience the scene of jumping off a building that he had imagined, and an uncontrollable fear instantly engulfed his brain.

But as he gradually adapted to this feeling, the courage to rekindle hope after despair seemed to have the upper hand again. At this moment, he looked at the Ishino couple waiting on the ground to cheer him on, and couldn't help but imagine what if he could and If Xiao Ai meets such adoptive parents, will she be able to gain the same happiness as her?
After getting off the roller coaster, Hiroki, who looked weak in the legs and felt sick, struggled to sit on a bench on the side with the help of his friends. Then he asked the bodyguard that he needed to eat something sour to relieve his pain.

The bodyguard seemed to be affected by the friendly behavior of the Ishino family in the past few days. He safely left Hiroki in his care and walked quickly to the food area selling snacks.

Seeing Hiroki taking the initiative to push away the bodyguard, Ishino immediately understood his intention and asked others to go to the next project first. On the pretext of helping look after the bag, Ishino walked to Hiroki and sat down next to him, speaking softly in a gentle tone. Said: "Hiroki-kun, there are only two of us left now. If you have any wishes, feel free to say it. I will definitely help you realize it."

Seeing that the other party understood his thoughts at once, Hong Shu, who was still thinking about how to take the initiative to find an opportunity to speak, was stunned for a moment, and then felt the concern from the other party, a warm feeling rose in his chest, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little nervous. moist.

At this moment, he realized that he had always been cared about by the people around him. No matter how well he hid it, how could he hide his emotions in front of the people who really cared about him?
Facing Ishino's eyes as quiet as the night sky, Hiroki felt that his anxious heart was soothed by a magical power, so he clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to say: "Uncle Ishino, I want to escape from the Schindler family. Please help me to escape the United States and return to my motherland, Japan!"

Seeing the firmness and determination in the other party's eyes, Ishino nodded in relief, and nodded with a smile: "I have received your wish, but Hiroki-kun, why do you think I can help you?"

"Although the FBI has strictly blocked the information, I actually secretly hacked into their internal database the night I was discharged from the hospital and found that you single-handedly eliminated the terrorists on the two planes, so I firmly believe that you are like a superhero. You can definitely help me!" Hiroki looked at Ishinomichi with admiration and expectation.

"And just when I asked you for help, there was no surprise in your eyes. Instead, there was a hint of encouragement and recognition. This shows that you have actually noticed the relationship between Thomas and me for a long time, so I I believe that as long as I take the initiative to speak, you will not sit idly by and ignore me, right?"

Hearing Hiroki's explanation, Ishino smiled and rubbed the other person's head and said, "You are really amazing. This kind of observation is much better than that of a kid who aspires to become a great detective!"
