Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 269 Reunion after 40 years
At this time, under the ginkgo tree behind Didan Elementary School, Fushae, Natsumi, Belmode and Grace were sitting around a tea table with various desserts, drinking tea and chatting, and occasionally making happy noises. laughter.

The large parasol held up next to the room not only blocked the midday sun, but also blocked the falling ginkgo leaves. Natsumi asked the company's employees to bring these outdoor equipment and refreshments from the Sweet House of Memories.

After replying to Ishino's text message, Natsumi immediately called Toru Amuro and asked him to help make a camping meal for ten people, and arrange for staff to pick it up later.

Toru Amuro, who was on the other end of the phone, immediately fired up after hearing the boss lady's instructions. Fusae, who was next to Natsumi, asked curiously after hearing Natsumi's arrangement: "Natsumi, there are only four of us here. You Are there other people coming over to make lunch for ten people?"

"Yes, my husband just sent me a message asking me where I am. He is bringing the children and their friends over here." Natsumi explained with a smile after hearing this, "They are all a group of lively and sensible children. , I think you will like it after seeing it."

"Okay, I just saw how proud you were when you mentioned your husband and children. I have wanted to meet them for a long time." After hearing Natsumi's explanation, Fusae also laughed and looked gently at the person sitting opposite her. Grace said, "When the children come over, little Grace can go play with them. She doesn't have to listen to us adults chatting about old calendars."

Hearing the other party's words that seemed to be ridiculing but actually caring, Grace, who always played the role of a listener, shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't mind. In fact, the stories you told Grandma Fusae are really interesting. I also want to Listen to more."

"Is that so? Then what else do you want to hear me say?" Seeing this, Fusae's smile became even stronger and she asked in a kind tone.

Faced with this gentle gaze, Grace hesitated for a moment, and finally asked her doubts: "Grandma Fushae, you have told so many interesting things about your study and entrepreneurship before, but what I am most curious about is The one you’re waiting for today.”

"Yeah, what kind of talent makes you travel thousands of miles to come here and wait every ten years, and wait all day long." In order not to embarrass Grace who asked the question, Bellmore also expressed it With the same curiosity, "Could it be your first love?"

I originally thought that Fusae would laugh and deny her joke, but she didn't expect that the other party would not say a word after hearing it, and silently pushed down the bell-shaped hat on her head, but even so, there was a blush on her cheeks. The blushing blush was still clearly visible to the three people in front of him.

"Eh?! Is the other party really your first love?" Grace on the opposite side immediately showed a surprised expression when she saw this, and then said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Grandma Fushae, I shouldn't ask this question. It’s embarrassing for you.”

Hearing the little girl's guilty apology, Fusae quickly straightened her hat and explained with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I just felt a little embarrassed when I was asked this suddenly. Since you want to hear it, there's nothing I can't say." .”

Then Fusae picked up a ginkgo leaf from the ground beside her and began to recall that past event with deep affection: "That was one morning 40 years ago, when I was still a fourth-grade student at Didan Elementary School..."

After listening to Fusae's narration, Natsumi first reacted and said in surprise: "So, Ms. Fusae, the person you have been waiting for all these years is Dr. Agasa! And you have not waited for him in the previous three decades?"

"That's right. Looking back now, I still have to blame myself. I was obviously too shy to write down the agreed place, but I thought of such an awkward password for him to guess." Fushae smiled bitterly and shook her head, then He looked at the other party with some curiosity and asked: "But to hear what you mean, Natsumi, do you know Agasa-kun?" "More than just acquaintance, Dr. Agasa is now working as a technical consultant in the Kosaka Group!" Natsumi immediately heard this. He opened his phone and found Dr. A Li's phone number and said, "In that case, there's no need to wait like this. I'll give him a call now..."

"Wait a minute..." Seeing Natsumi press the call button neatly, Fusae, who had not yet had time to ask Dr. Agasa if she had a family, had to silently retract the hand that had been stretched out to stop the other party, and accepted this Fait accompli.

At this moment, she suddenly felt uneasy, and her brain began to think hard about how to speak when the call was connected. However, before she could be mentally prepared, a burst of cell phone ringtones suddenly came from behind her, from far to near.

Just as Fushae turned her head following the sound, Dr. Ali, who was standing ten meters behind her, unconsciously locked his eyes on the familiar-looking hat on the other person's head.

The moment the two people's eyes met, the time around them seemed to have completely stopped. Countless memory fragments emerged from their minds, splicing into scenes of the happy time together 40 years ago.

Seeing Dr. A Li just standing there with no expression, the three boys from the Junior Detective Team quickly pushed him in the back, which made Dr. A Li, who was lost in memories, move forward unconsciously. After walking a few steps, he came to Fushae.

Looking at the blond beauty who appeared in front of him at this moment, Dr. Ari couldn't help but superimpose the other person's face with his own childhood memories, and hesitantly said: "That... Fu Sae... is me..."

On the contrary, Fushae, who was still fighting between heaven and man a second ago, suddenly let go of the heavy burden in her heart, smiled calmly and said: "Ali-kun, it's really been a long time."

"Hmm, it's been 40 years since I last saw you. I feel relieved to see you are still so energetic..." Seeing that the other party didn't look angry, Dr. Ali finally felt relieved and responded with a smile. road.

"I haven't seen you for 40 years, but you are even fatter than you were then." Fushae laughed and teased Dr. Ali, then looked at the group of children and a handsome young man behind him, and said with some hesitation, "That ...I wonder who the children behind you are?"

Just when Fusae was worried in her heart that these people might be Dr. Agasa's children and grandchildren, Natsumi's surprise call suddenly came from behind her: "Ishi-kun! It turns out that you were with Dr. Agasa before. What a coincidence. Woolen cloth!"

Before Fusae could react, Ishino answered with a smile on his face: "Yes, the children and I happened to be at Dr. Agasa's house to listen to him telling stories about his childhood. We learned that today happened to be the day he and I The girl Fu Sae agreed on a date to meet, so we rushed over together, it shouldn't be too late, right?"
