Detective Conan's Cafe Owner

Chapter 212

Qingming left the tent and went outside.

Ayumi was the only one left in the tent, but she didn't feel sleepy anymore, she just lay there, blinking her eyes, looking at the top of the tent.

"Oni-chan Oni-chan... how strange!"

she thought so.

Qingming is a strange person, she had such an idea very early on.

Specifically when to say...

When she licked her face?
Or earlier?
Well, as a child, she really couldn't remember these seemingly insignificant things, so she didn't know.

But this is not the key.

He touched his lips again, the lips kissed by Qingming for the second time.

Last time……

What happened last time?

It seemed that the kiss came over suddenly, and there seemed to be some reason, anyway, Ayumi couldn't remember clearly.

This time is different from last time.

This time, it's just lips sticking together, there is no more in-depth "communication", and it seems to be no different from kissing cheeks and foreheads.

"But it's really weird."

The little girl thought so.

Thinking about it carefully, this might be the "things that cannot be done" that Haibara Ai said.

Hui Yuanai had told her.

She also knows some things. This is something that can only be done with her boyfriend and future husband. Qingming is obviously not. Qingming is her "Oni sauce Ouni sauce", just like family.

"Can the family do this kind of thing?"

Ayumi thought.

Maybe it can't, or maybe it can.

not understand.

The little girl couldn't understand such a thing at all, she didn't have any relevant knowledge, and she didn't have relevant experience, so she didn't understand anything.

It is precisely because I don't understand anything, so there are more doubts in my heart.

"Oni-chan, Oni-chan...do you really like doing this kind of thing?"

It seems that it is very possible!

……

outside the tent.

No one can see what's going on inside.

So nothing unexpected happens.

Qingming was holding the rabbit in his hand.

It was caught in the woods before, and Ayumi kept holding it, and brought it out just now when she came out.

Grabbing the rabbit's ears, he held them up in front of him, and looked at the rabbit.

for a long time.

"Just roast you."

Qingming said so.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the rabbit who was still very quiet - it would not, and could not, respond.

Then he laughed self-deprecatingly.

"That's right, you little guy can't understand me."

Shake his head.

Holding the rabbit ears, he walked towards the grove again.

……

evening.

It was already dinner time.

In return for lunch, Tiantang Qinghua and her friends were invited to have dinner.

There are so many people, it seems a bit lively.

However, Qingming just sat quietly on the side, holding his rice bowl and eating on his own, it didn't matter whether these people were chatting or anything.

None of this matters.

Ayumi is also up.

Carefully carrying a bowl full of food, she came to Qingming with a lovely smile on her face.

Then sit with Qingming.

While eating dinner, he looked curiously at Conan, Tiantang Haruka and others.

Some doubts.

"Oni sauce, Oni sauce."

"Ok?"

"Is there a big sister missing? Where did she go?"

"Um……"

Qingming pondered for a while.

The missing person was Tiantang Qinghua's female friend, and the others seemed to have already discovered it, but they didn't care.

Organize your language before you explain.

"She has left the sea of ​​suffering and gone to another world."

"?"

"Don't understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you don't need to understand these now, yes, you don't need to understand anything, just keep it as it is."

Qingming raised his head, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and sighed softly.

"Yes, keep it as it is, it's fine!"

……

Night falls.

In the manor, Qian is the only one left here.

After coming to the manor, she basically never left. If this continues, maybe she will become a house like Qingming.

But Xie didn't think there was anything wrong.

Moreover, the outside world is too dangerous, it is safer to stay in the manor.

Even if Qingming is not here, no one can hurt her here.

Unless it is someone like Qingming.

However, do people like Qingming still exist in this world?
existing.

For example, a certain witch, who has not met Qingming formally, is a person like Qingming. Although one is a witch and the other is a Taoist priest, they are essentially capable people.

Hongzi Koizumi, the descendant of Red Magic.

Witches and Taoists, magic and Taoism, should have opposed each other, and even attacked each other.

But in this day and age, that doesn't matter anymore.

And the witch won't come here either.

Not to mention that.

Maybe it's boring to be alone, or maybe I want to go out and have a look after a long absence.

So Akane went out.

I called a taxi, and from this place far away from the world, I walked into the noisy world again.

……

Campground.

Because of Tiantang Qinghua's suggestion, the group of people went to the mountain to watch the fireworks.

Qingming is not going.

He is not very interested in fireworks and other things that are too short-lived. Although they are beautiful, they are only for a while.

If he didn't go, neither would the twin maids.

Ayumi didn't go either.

A few people stayed where they were, lit a bonfire, and looked at the star-studded night sky.

Compared with the short-lived fireworks, Qingming prefers the long-lasting starry sky; the fireworks are only fleeting, but the starry sky seems to remain unchanged.

Compared with people, fireworks exist for too short a time; compared with stars, people exist for too short a time.

"Ah!"

Qingming stretched her waist, but she didn't take her eyes off the starry sky.

"Suddenly want to go to heaven!"

"God?"

Ayumi, who was sitting next to him, heard this sentence, blinked her eyes, and her pure eyes were full of curiosity.

"Can Oni-chan Oni-chan fly?"

"It will be possible."

"Is it?"

"You can't really fly, but with the help of Taoism and the like, you can fly for a short time."

"?"

Ayumi still doesn't understand.

But according to her understanding, she can fly anyway, which is already very powerful.

"So, can you fly to the moon?"

"Moon...it's a pity, I can't."

Qingming shook her head.

If he could fly to the moon, he would really like to know if there are the legendary Guanghan Palace, Chang'e, Moon Rabbit, Osmanthus, Wu Gang, etc. there.

Although that is just a legend.

……

Walking on the streets of Tokyo again, it seems like a lifetime away.

"It's been a long time since I came here!"

Qian sighed.

It's been a long time... How long has it been?It seems that I can’t remember it clearly, it’s been a long time in my memory, but if I really think about it carefully, it seems that not too long has passed.

Very strange.

But that doesn't matter.

There is no special purpose for coming out, I just want to come out and have a look.

I don't know where to go.

After thinking for a long time, she finally walked towards the coffee shop, where she was "born". Qian walked out of the coffee shop.

Before that, she was still called Miyano Akemi.

She clearly remembered these things, including many, many things, she remembered them all.

Did she forget something?

No.

At least she doesn't think she has forgotten anything, as long as she needs to remember, she will remember, there is nothing to forget.

Just, is it really so?

"Nobody."

Standing in front of the coffee shop.

The lights on the signboard were off, and there was no one inside.

Of course, Qingming went camping with Ayumi and Haibara Ai, and Enomoto Azusa also went home from get off work, so naturally there would be no one here.

I kinda miss it here.

When I first came here, I still lived here for a while, and then Qingming asked Enomoto Azusa to help rent a house, and finally moved to the manor.

"Are you... Si?"

A voice came from the side.

Turning his head to look, he found that it was a girl.

The girl had a gentle, friendly smile on her face, and her voice was pleasant.

"Long time no see, why are you here?"

"Miss Lan."

The girl in front of her was Ran, the daughter of the great detective Mori Kogoro who lived upstairs.

In the past, I often borrowed the bathroom from Mori's house.

"Long time no see, Miss Lan, I just... came out for a walk."
