Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 299 Encounter on the Beach

"I said something is wrong with you Sonoko. Why have you been teasing me since just now?"

"Don't care so much, I'm just jealous of you." Faced with Xiaolan's slightly angry question, Yuanzi directly chose to show off, and sighed, "Obviously you came out to play this time to meet me. Prince Charming, but I never expected..."

Having said this, Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan with a resentful expression and cried: "Whether it was on the tram we came here, or at last night's fireworks display, or even on this beach, the boys who came to chat with us, All eyes are focused on you, Xiaolan!"

"There's no such thing." Xiaolan retorted speechlessly when she heard that Yuanzi was teasing her because she cared about such a thing, "Besides, most of the people those people want to talk to are probably Yangzi, after all, she is so beautiful. …”

Having said this, Xiaolan turned her head and looked at Yangzi, who was wearing a sports swimsuit and riding a surfboard on the horizon in the distance, challenging the huge waves that most people avoided. She was speechless for a moment.

"Haha, as you can see, although many boys are attracted by Yangzi's beauty, when they get close, they are all frightened away by her queen-like aura, knowing that it is absolutely impossible for them to control it. A girl like her." Seeing this, Yuanzi patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and sighed, "So those people changed their target to you, Xiaolan, who is as innocent and cute as the girl next door. As for me, hey... "

"Don't worry, Yuanzi. It can only be said that those men are too superficial and have completely failed to notice the shining points in you." Seeing her best friend looking depressed, Xiaolan quickly comforted her, "I believe she will. A good man with a discerning eye has fallen in love with you, Sonoko!"

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Conan behind her couldn't help but roll up his half-moon eyes and complained in his heart. If there really is such a man, maybe he is not a wise man but a lack of heart, right?

"Xiaolan, you don't have to comfort me like this. I've already figured it out. My boyfriend is just a cloud. It's more suitable for me to enjoy my youth." Yuanzi spread his hands calmly, then looked towards the entrance of the beach and said, "But Brother Ishiye, why haven't they come here yet? Could it be that they went to the wrong place?"

"No, didn't they agree to arrive this afternoon? It's not even past noon yet." Hearing Yuanzi's complaint, Xiaolan explained with a smile, "Besides, we originally made an appointment to come together today, so why not?" Isn’t it because you said you wanted to have a beautiful encounter at last night’s fireworks display that we hurriedly came a day early?”

"Hey, don't mention it, I regret it now." Yuanzi couldn't help but gritted his teeth after hearing this, "Not to mention that we didn't meet by chance, and we were even fed a mouthful of dog food. There were groups of young lovers everywhere. There really is no way for singles to survive!"

"Hi, ladies, are you free now?" Just as Yuanzi was cursing the couples on the beach, a handsome man in his 20s suddenly accosted them, " If it's convenient, could you please allow me to invite you two to have lunch?"

"Okay, I'm very happy... Aha, I think your target is probably her, right?" Yuanzi was about to agree when he saw this, but suddenly showed a see-through expression and patted Xiaolan's back. , "You can just invite her alone. There's no need to cover it up and bring me along."

The man was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then looked at Yuanzi with some embarrassment and explained: "But, the person I really want to invite is you, Miss."

Facing this handsome guy's straightforward invitation, Yuanzi didn't know how to respond for a moment. She just stood there for a long time with her cheeks slightly red, unable to speak.When Conan on the side saw this, he shouted in his heart: Impossible, absolutely impossible!How could anyone be interested in Yuanzi in the presence of Xiaolan? There must be something wrong with it!
However, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel happy for her best friend after hearing about the other party's intention to come. She leaned close to her and whispered encouragement: "That's great Yuanzi, now it's your wish. You should seize the opportunity."

Seeing that Yuanzi seemed to be hesitant, the man walked directly to her and put his arm around her shoulders from behind and said, "Let's go, young lady."

Seeing the man's somewhat frivolous actions, Xiaolan, who was still happy for Yuanzi just now, couldn't help but look unhappy, but she hesitated whether she should remind the other person out loud, fearing that it would ruin the hard-won good things of good friends.

While hesitating, he saw a palm with jade-fingered fingers gently patting the back of the man's hand. The next second, the man retracted his arm as if he was electrocuted, and looked at the man who had appeared behind him in surprise. , a tall beauty holding a surfboard as tall as a person in her hand asked: "Miss, I wonder if you are..."

On the other hand, Sonoko next to her relaxed a lot after feeling the man's palm leave her shoulder. She looked to the side and said with surprise: "Yangzi, you are back from surfing so soon. We are planning to have lunch, why not come together!" "

"Okay, I just wonder if the handsome guy next to you will find it inconvenient?" Yangzi nodded when he heard this, and looked at the awkward-looking man with a smile.

The man was stunned when he heard this, then showed a hearty smile and said: "Hahaha... It's not inconvenient at all. Since the ladies are all friends, it is naturally more interesting to eat and chat together. I will treat this meal, so you are welcome!" "

So at the invitation of the other party, the group went to a seaside restaurant called "Umi no Nagisa" and sat around a low table chatting while waiting for the food to be served.

During the chat, everyone learned that the man's name was Dowaki Masahiko, a graduate of Rice Flower University, and he came to this beach to travel alone because of a broken love.

"Just when I looked at the sea and fell into depression, a beautiful angel suddenly appeared in my field of vision." Masahiko Michowaki was talking about his travel experience, and suddenly pointed his finger at the garden directly opposite to make a tease. With an expression on his face, he said, "If my hunch is correct, Miss Sonoko, you should be the goddess who can save me."

Just when Sonoko fell into a shy posture and blushed because of the other party's words, a waiter wearing glasses forcefully pressed the beer glass to Masahiko Michowaki's side and made a "dong" sound, interrupting the two of them. The man spoke indifferently: "Guest, the draft beer you ordered has been delivered."

"Also be careful not to get cigarette ashes on the floor, otherwise it will be troublesome to clean up later."

"Ah, ah, I understand." Seeing that the other person had dark skin, a strong build, and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, Masahiko Michowaki quickly put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and whispered in a low voice, "This clerk His attitude is really bad.”
